I bought the IQI i3 a couple of months ago from AliExpress and am not happy with the OS. It is running a custom version Android 5.1 and I was wondering if that could be changed to another, better OS (like Android Wear or AsteroidOS).
I've searched around but couldn't find anything helpful. I'm a big noob when it comes to rooting and flashing ROMs so I'll need all the help I can get.

That works, but one wonders if it is worth the effort?
Have it synonymous with my MTCD RK3188 tried and have given up dan!
Sure, you'll find an Android 6 update on the web, but it would be easier to just flash a ROM, for example. Malaysk ROM or Hal9k depending on tastes and functions, I recommend you both, whereby Malaysk ROM offers more features and finishes.
Hello people,
I'm new on the forum and also on android world.
I recently got an android head unit with 6.0.1 as the installed version. It looks fluid, no bugs. but I really don't like the UI.
Here is my questions :
Which launcher you recommend for me?
Which are the must have apps that you recommend?
Is there any way to make an upgrade to a newer version of Android OS?
Thanks for your help,
Abdelkrim
Hi all,
Does anyone own the Joying JY-UO135N4PX5S (please mind the "S" at the end of the reference number)?
It has CPU: PX5 Octa Core, Ram: 4GB, Rom: 64GB.
Can we use Malaysk ROM for PX5 (2-4 Gb) 8.0 Android Oreo on this unit?
It has been a while since this HU was available, but I can't find anywhere any review, feedback or anything about it.
Thank you for replying.
Short answer: no.
For extended information, see the relevant thread where the subject has been already extensively discussed.

Thanks for replying and for the info.:good:
I guess the above thread deals with JY-UO135N4PX5, which has Rom 32GB, and not JY-UO135N4PX5S (There is in "S" at the end) with Rom 64GB. I have already seen that thread. Maybe they mention/discus about the "S" model through the thread but I did not find it. Sorry if that is the case
It's the same, just with extended storage…
There are only a very few different units, the variety coming from different screens and storage capacity. Don't believe that Chinese producers lose time and money on developing specific units…
Your unit is a QD produced one. There is very little hope to have custom development on the QD units.

Thank You Néocray for clarifying that. Very helpful as I was going to order the wrong HU. I will be looking for other models (so hard and time consuming to find the right one in that jungle of cheap Chinese Android units).
There is no custom Roms yet for new Android 8.0 FYT units neither, right?
MERCI
I'm in the same boat you are. I came from a time when Joying only made MTCx MCU based units and i accidentally purchased this same unit. I also hear the QD doesn't have a useable recovery either. I wonder if they have a slot A/B and use boot.img to get into recovery? I'm going to play w/ this one I just purchased to see what I can do with it. Anyone know if these are prerooted or easily rootable?
Thanks

Hello, I buyed the same unit, it has advantages and disadvantages, someone knows how to put a name radio stations, I do not find that option?

Actually it is extremely simple to create a custom rom for your QD unit, or/and to root it and install xposed on it . The flashing is extremely simple. See this post from @m2maynard.
And there is indeed no Custom rom yet for the FYT units. You do need a specific TWRP recovery image for that. There are a few, but they need to be adapted for our units. Then the custom rom building can start.
But like I mentioned before:With rooting and xposed and the JET apk, I see no reason for a custom rom for the PX5.

I agree that there is little need for a custom rom but it's nice to have one that has certain features baked in. IE: Speed volume control, GPS time brightness control, certain MCU interception options, etc. I ended up getting rid of the QD as I wasn't able to obtain root but I also didn't have a factory image to play with at the time. If I had something I could inject SU into I may have kept it.

Hello,
I need help to find out, how to update a chinese PX6- Based Android HU.
I have bought this: https://www.ebay.de/itm/BMW-E87-E82-10-25-Android-8-1-SixCore-Auto-GPS-Navigation-Radio-2-32G-iDrive/113662190612?hash=item1a76cb6414:g:NOoAAOSwFfJccWCv
But it says no where which manufacturer it is.
I have seen that all HUs are looking same, but have all different vendors.
Are they just like whitelabel products, and every HU is the same?
If i can update the HU, i would like to write a little tutorial in order to help the rest with these chinese HUs.
I have found a chinese site with a PX6 software version, but dont know if its compatible.

Thank you very much.
Most BMW Headunits are from GS, you find the code within the MCU version numbering.
It`s not possible to upgrade from a lower Android version to a newer one, if you have an 8.1 Unit you only can update internally to newer 8.1 Updates.
the chinese do not release source codes, if you want to have a unit with newer android, unforunatley you need to buy a new Unit (better with Snapdragon 625).
Chri
Oh thats an answer I don´t quite expected.
Are updates not possible even with other custom roms?
Can´t these custom roms simply add the BMW-Skins?
What would you suggest to do with this device?
They are quite expensive.

It`s more a question of what features do you miss at the moment, newer units also miss some features older units have.
There are two large Posts at the F30 forum, one primary for Android 7.1/8.1 and one for Android 9.0.
Note that Android 9 is available for PX6 and Snapdragon, anyways it`s not possible to upgrade a 8.1 Unit to 9.0 at the moment.

I found a page called xtrons
there are two links with update files:
