It' s made with Allwiner R16 Quad core, I have some information for it if you need. What do you want to know about it?

If theres a way to root it, instal rom s, etc.

kingroot will root it.
This thread is the closest to it that I have found here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...nd-generation-4-4-2-android-21u-ouku-t3230587
I have not tried any of the roms, but the basic info and passwords are the same
The TW stands for topway quadcore r16. I did an image search on the device and found pics that said Topway

Android 4.4 Rom (e.g. MalaySK) for MTCC 5.1 Head Unit [KLD6] [RK3188]

Hello,
I have a Naviskauto Android Head Unit (Klyde, KLD6) with Android 5.1 running. Is it possible to install Android 4.4? I prefer the MalaySK Rom, but it could also be any other compatible Rom. Android 5.1 runs so slow and feels extreme laggy.
Head Unit specs:
MCU-Version: MTCC-KLD6-V2.91
Android Version: 5.1.1
Resolution: 1024*600
Build-Number: RK3188-userdebug 05082016
Kernel-Version: 3.0.101+ [email protected] #10
CPU: Quadcore
I can't find a 4.4 Rom for my MTCC Version, only 5.1.
My first thought was to downgrade to a MTCB-Version (I found some 4.4 Roms for MTCB), but I can't find out if flashing another MCU will brick my device.
I'm thankful for any help!
Edit: I found something at http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Hui_Fei_Type#Latest_MCU
"You should ONLY flash MCUs with the prefix ("MTCB or "MTCC") and manufacturer code (eg KLD, KGL, JY etc) that matches the version already installed, ie KLD MCUs only on KLD versions, KGL MCUs only on KGL versions etc the only exceptions are BN and HA versions which are interchangeable and some KLD MTCB units that can be upgraded to MTCC by flashing an MTCC MCU"
Is there a way to flash a MTCB MCU on my MTCC-Version?

I am currently using a 4.4 ROM on my MTCC unit (KLD6-2.97) As long as you don't touch the MCu you are safe.
There are currently 2 4.4 ROMs: Malaysk's and Booroondook's. I prefer Booroondook as it's pretty fast, you might want to try both and see which one suits you best. You can find both ROMs in the MTCB software development section.

updating head unit android

hello guys
i have asked in all the forums about updating my head unit who runs android 4.2.2 to 4.4.4
and i had no luck of gating answers. my question is: is this because it cant be done or what?
please help me

You need to show the proper about screen that shows what MTCD unit you have.
All those screenshots are pretty much useless information which is probably why nobody is answering you.

You dont have an MTCD unit, as you have an Mstar processor I would guess you ahve an AN21-U, try that thread or the Android headunits general forum.

[ROM][PX5][Oreo 8.1] Joying ROM Android 8.1 Oreo for PX5 released

Joying released an Android 8.1 update for PX5:
https://www.joyingauto.eu/blog/category/update-firmware/
Unfortunately I was unable to get it onto my (non-Joying) RNS. It currently runs Malaysk 2.0 and it's not recognized as an update. I also tried writing the sdupdate.img to a bootable SD card using the SD Firmware Tool and also tried the Malaysk for updating 6.0.1 => 8.0 by writing the 6.0.1 boot to the card and replacing the file. All methods failed. Maybe someone has more luck or at least it it interesting for the Joying users. I just wanted to try something different then the Malaysk rom for a change.

Just because joying decided to make a few updates to their 8.0 and call it 8.1 does not necessarily make it any newer than malaysk’s version.

Hi, I just bought joy

I guess the 8.1 is newer than the 8.0. Also the Joying interface for settings, ... seems nicer. Just wanted to try something different but seems I have to stick to the Malay for now.

Joying/Joyous RK3188/PX5 units are not MTCD/E units, so you cant use any of Malaysk's ROMs and this thread is in the wrong forum.

Xtrons are advertising 8.1 headunits, is there any firmware that will work with a TE103AP? To get the latest firmware for these, we have to email Xtrons for a link that changes every time an update is released so nobody can see if there is a new update available unless you email them, surely they get bored replying with everyones requests for new updates...

No idea what a "TE103AP" is - "TE103AP" is a made up name by Xtrons - they are a seller only and not a manufacturer, they sell units from several different manufacturers.
On XDA we go by the MCU number as this is the only reliable way of identifying an android headunit.
So post your MCU, that way both yourself and XDA members can identify your unit.

Interesting, but they use RK3399/PX6 chipset, so the ROM wont work on MTCD/E RK3368/PX5 devices, the only way you could upgrade to 8.1 would be to buy an RK3368/PX6 SoM, unless MTC bring out an 8.1 update for the RK3368/PX5, which they might well do.
The RK3369/PX5 is hexacore ie 2 less cores than the RK3368/PX5, but they clock faster than the RK3368/PX5 at 2Ghz (RK3368/PX5 1.5Ghz).
The units in those links are MTCD/E units.

not only clock,
at same clock an Cortex A72 is (lot) better than an Cortex A53. ( https://images.anandtech.com/doci/10347/79519.png ) https://www.anandtech.com/show/10347/arm-cortex-a73-artemis-unveiled
(The PX5 is look like an Snapdragon 425 (or 62x) whereas the PX6 look like a Snapdragon 650 (2 Cortex A72 + 4 Cortex A53)

2 less cores but better processor.
Not sure I can be bothered to upgrade again tough - I went from MTCB/C dual core to MTCB/C quad core to MTCD/E quad core to MTCD/E octa core, I ll think I ll stick with octa core for now, it ll be ages before @Hal9k_ releases a custom ROM for the hexa core units !
BTW @ds980x your unit is an MTCD/E unit and in the MTCD/E form there are 3 custom ROMs available plus many factory ROMS, you are not tied to any links Xtrons give you.

The topic on this entry is quite charming, however, (As being a newbie (or a rookie) ) I'd be very glad if you make a brief explanation for (a) which one of the files should be used as the main rom from the attached file servers, (b) basic steps of upgrading, and (c) a few sample pictures of a successful update (if there are any).
Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone. I have the attached head unit. Seems to be AllWinner T8, but everything seems different. It says in settings Android 9.0.1, but it's actually Android 8 (confirmed by multiple 3rd party apps) Can I update it to Android 9? Also, can I update it to a customROM, or do custom ROMs even exist? Thanks in advance

system version 9.2.2_20171030.180526_AKW1-FD

Does android 9 have a split screen,
how we can go back to the old at any time,

If I installing Android 9, then my Allwinner will be slowly or freez or break or brick?
So, If you have any links update for my Allwinner, but on Android 8.1, then Thanks.
