Simple needs for a simple-man (simple-ton?) - Android Head-Units

I don't know if I'm Arthur or Martha I'm so overwhelmed with information. Three weeks of research and all I have to show for it is daily morning head-aches and a recycle bin full of empty wine bottles...
Surely there is an Android double din head unit close to $300AU/$225US for my 2003 Corolla which can play music/AM/FM radio while I'm navigating in Waze? I'm at the point where I don't even care if I can't take calls, but it would be nice...
I would be eternally grateful for any help at all..
Cheers,

Looks to me like you need this:
https://m.ebay.com/itm/Toyota-Corol...7010?fits=Year:2003|Make:Toyota|Model:Corolla
And whatever 2 din universal model you want.

Can some one build an app for me? $$GOOD REWARD$$

Hello.
I have a week to present my homework, an app for WM5/WM6.
Description:
Two screens.
Screen one: a Calendar showing one month and arrows to move to other months. And a button to take you to screen two.
Scrren two: a list of whatever (let say, accesories for X7501 currently on stock) that feeds of a DB. And a button to go back to screen one.
So basically is creating a DB (item, stock) and a calendar.
I would need you to give me:
1. The code with commentaries (*/this is the button to change month*/ etc).
2. Your paypal account
Who can do it? For how much?
Thanks!
dude that is so cheating. why you gonna pick building an app for wm if you dont even know how to build one.
Hello.
1. The teacher was not supposed to ask that of us.
2. I know how to make an app, but not that one. I can make basic stuff, like coin toss, dice roll, among other stuff. I could learn to program that, but I do not have time, I sleep like 4 hours a day... learning to do that would mean 10 hours.... I don't have 10 hours.
3. I'm not going to live by making apps for WM.
4. Somebody could use some extra dollars. And some might even enjoy building that.
I don't think it's such a bad Idea.
Well.... once again, any one can help me with that simple app?
Regards.
Maybe you should've started this a lot longer before the deadline? I can't really poke holes given that I had to do a 3 minute composition (for my music GCSE) in one night...
1. The teacher was not supposed to ask that of us.

I would do it, but it goes against the principal of exams/qualifications, and I couldn't anyway...
l3v5y:
It was set on wednesday 16.
And I have until monday 28th...
There's no "lot longer before deadline". If there is, it is now, we have time.
I'm not going to argue the other 4 points.
------------------------
All:
I'm asking for help, and expecting replies about "I can help" or "here's this links that will help" or a Private Message with something along those lines.
I know you can reply with "that's wrong", but could you please not obstaculize?
And could you please not reply with "it's better for you to learn" because it's not and you do not particularly care about me learning to build a DB or a calendar.
And it's not like I'm a greedy student who offers $5 or $10 USD. It's a job and it's better paid.
Once again.... anyone that might be kind enough to help?
Regards.
I'm curious as to how much you're willing to pay. A low-level code monkey can probably get $20/hr. You're better off looking at how tene implemented PCM calendar (or similar).
huh? http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/obstaculize
Sorry, English is not my first language.... I meant something like "not-help", not as much as deter, restrain, discourage... just like being an obstacale...
I'll prefer to let the programmer set the price for the job done, not by the hour of course... and then we'll talk about it.
But probably it will be way more than $20 per hour of real efficient work.
Go download eMbedded Visual Basic from the MS Website:
Not that I want to discourage developers getting money, but the fact is, the two things you are discussing (Forms and calendar) are already available as code samples in eMbedded Visual Basic. Most, if not all developers know this...
So basically, if your teacher doesn't understand that making this project is as simple as writing your own name, than it won't matter whether you cheat or not. Besides, you will still have to make the program yourself, even with the two code samples.
The calendar is called DateTimePicker
And from memory, the page sample is just called Form
Hope This Helps
This is just a Test to show you what i have made..if this is the kinda stuff you want..send me the details for the About page
NOTE : This requires Internet Connection to be activated before Starting the application
See attached
Jadel:
Well now there's some help. It actually got me started with the calendar and the app itself.
You can watch progress here http://www.tech-medellin.com/TempUploads/advance.wmv
Ather90:
And that's even better. More like I was hoping for, unfortunately I lost hope with first replies and started myself.
Any way, perhaps you could help me with accesories. I've watched what you did and it's great, but not what I'm looking for... although I could add it...
The teacher asked for a database stored in the app (not updatable nor modificable by user). A list must be created based on the DB. I would fill it with data (I actually sell devices and accesories)
Can you help with that? For how much?
Thanks!
im sorry but i dnt know a thing abt Databases
I will give you the source code..its coded in VS 2008 Pro
You can get some info abt Db here http://www.codeproject.com/KB/database/
Thanks a lot!
I have almost finished my app.
Actually two of them I had forgotten there was a second one.
(sorry for not replaying until today)
Happy to hear it's alsmost done
Sorry I dnt know anythng about programming PPC.

I have a Pumpkin unit. They have a distributer in the UK and Germany (I assume you're European with your Megane). I'm quite pleased with them. I bought a unit specifically for Toyota (I think only the connector was different) and it all fitted without problems. They have a reverse camera option which I didn't get, beeping sensors is enough for me. Internet reception wasn't great but I fixed that by installing a Teltonika RUT104 router with a special antenna and connected that over ethernet -> USB. Everything is fine now.

Hello. How did your project go. I also have a Renault Megane and would like to install an Android head unit. Any advice?

Joying Intel Sofia Head Unit, please help a noob with a few questions.

Hi all,
Firstly would like to say thanks to all the joying users here. There are some great things you guys are doing, excited to own one of these units and learning/fiddling more everyday. Sick of buying high end expensive head units with boring features. Android all the way!
I have four questions I am struggling with.
1. I need a simple guide to root my device, I honestly have no idea what I am doing.
2. I want to know how to change read only system permissions to read/write permissions so I can add the red white radio apk and the no kill server apk as I tried to copy themover yesterday and they wouldnt copy due to read only permissions.
3. I noticed a user here has managed to change the SRC (source) order of applications to add pandora, spotify etc. My go to player has been VLC on the Joying due to my music library being close to 2tb, its the only app that doesent **** itself when scanning my hdd for folders/files.
I want to make my own list of SRC (source) apps I can scroll through. Is this possible for a noob?
4. Tom Tom App. Why doesent it work? I cant really find a nav app that runs well wothout internet connection. Tried a fair few. CoPilot I enjoyed the most but you need data at the start of your trip to calculate the trip.
Thanks in advance, look forward to finding the info I need.

I have had this unit for a couple of months now and all of a sudden the lcd just goes blank after a few minutes. If I swipe the screen it still goes to the next song so I know the touch functionality works…. I have a feeling the hardware is faulty. What is my next step
Fyi obviously I have checked the screen always on settings etc… they are set to on always.

No, sorry. I meant that it always was a hardware issue, but maybe yours is not. I do not have a solution. You can also look at the official forum.carjoying.com as your issue has been mentioned there as well by others, with the same outcome: hardware related.

Your sympthoms are like LCD hardware issue. I had same issue with my Rk3188 MTCD and i finlly had to take it back to china for replacement (mine was not joying).
Contact Joying and record video to send it to them to speed up the decision of sending it back
You are covered by warranty....but you will have to pay for the shipping to china

yes - i am already in talks with them.
they told me i have to get someone to solder the board. i told them that after 2 months I should not have to be soldering anything.
At the end of the day they should have a contact here in the UK who they can ask me to send it to who will solder the board.
if it is under warranty i shouldnt have to pay a damn thing. I dont care that their warranty says i am responsible for returning the item. i am pretty sure the law states that after 2 months for it to go faulty that is not a reasonable amount of tim and why should the buyer have to incur any fees or costs. Not to mention being without a damn stereo for a few weeks while its in bumblef**k.
Speaking of screens why not just attempt to acquire a better Touch screen using the same ribbon cable and upgrade it. I have been seriously considering it. Next time I'm in Shenzhen I will hunt one down. ?

Some advice on new launcher for my headunit

So i got this head unit cheap its 10inch its got 4 cores and 4gbs of ram etc dont know the details..
anyone thing came from China so it has some software Android launcher that is chinese..i did manage to install my navigation and some other stuff

Hi thanks for your reply. but i dont know what you are talking about..im not that into android. so maybe use more words...like you are talking to a 9year old...

+1 for FCC Car Launcher, it's available on the play store, and it's very customisable. There is a very active thread on this launcher in this sub-forum, it's worth checking out (click the link in my signature and it will take you directly to the thread)

You are not talking about a 40-bucks-unit right?
You won´t get any new system anywhere.
You are not able to remove the current launcher.
If this freaking unit has no play store you should search in Google for any alternative. There are a lot.
FCC Car Launcher is available here on XDA. Just some threads below. This is a form to help yourself, nothing else. You need to read and study yourself.
Open the settings in your unit and give the needed information by screenshots.
MCU
Android version
Firmware version
Link to the unit.
Anything else is just lost time.

No offense. Throw this rubbish, this is a very lousy device that will not work properly.
While you are saving money for a normal Android radio, you can learn how to create launchers for yourself. So, as it will be convenient and to your taste. A very famous program that can do a lot in building interfaces for Android devices - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.launcher2&hl=en There are already ready-made solutions for this program, there are additional applications with which you can realize your most secret fantasies. Not advertising, but from personal experience. Once I was carried away very cool it turned out. :good:

Sorry to say, but these 80 bucks are wrong invested money. Try to get rid of it.
There are a lot or MTK8227 units on the market which are able to get a bit tuned, but I think as this MCU version is completely unknown to me, it´s lost time for you to keep on trying anything.
There is nothing anyone can do with it, just keep it as is, or use it as radio in your garage.
Nevertheless: Just search yourself here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/search/forum/4267?query=CVD1810#posts
It´s not that much other than bricked ones...
Guys thank you so much for your help.
This thing was from Ali express on black friday from 80usd down to 55 i think...well i have this car that i drive around and i wanted an option for usb and bluetooth music and navi..all at once...my original car radio was with navi but only aux...
so 55usd was a risk i was willing to take...its a shame i cant install something else on it. instead of this chinese ok looking program that has this voice commands,and it comes on random like once in every few hours and says something on chinese and thats it...i translated it to be like "i didnt hear that,say it louder"
so i just want to remove that stupid app and have a normal radio with usb ports and navi ...
But thanks anyway bros... and its not an offense its a ****ty radio for 55usd that works fine..it wasnt supposed to be NASA Super computer... it does what it needs and it does it good
