Joying JY-UO135N4PX5S questions/feedback - Android Head-Units

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.

Not MTCD/E but CSN2?

I tried to replace my faulty Pumpkin android 8.0 4gb ram unit (KLD MTCD) for another exactly the same, however the unit I received has CSN2 instead of MTCD/E.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for more info on these? Mine is soft bricked right now, as i tried to flash Hal9k thinking it was MTCD.
I need to flash a new recovery as the Hal9k Modinstaller.apk flashed an incompatible one. It wont boot into recovery or android right now. I'm a bit stuck.
nvm. I sent it back and ordered a replacement.
I really hope we see some development on this in the future. I'm pretty sure I could get temp root and dump some partitions but i'm a bit hesitant as its only been in 5 minutes!
find some infos of csn2 devices in this thread: csn2-headunit
The thread related to these units is there. Please close this very thread.
MOD EDIT:
Thread closed as per OP's request.

Update JOYING PX5 android 8.1 to android 9

Hello everyone
I have since yesterday a Joying JY-UO135N4-OBD, MCU number: TP6735D 0.43 under android 8.1 that I want to upgrade to android 9 because my OnePlus 6 is under 9 and can not connect USB on the Joying.
Is there an update?
Thank you for your answers.

No there is no update and I'm for 99,5% sure there will not come an update anymore now that the new Intels are coming in and the PX5s are slowly phased out.
Eunavi claims they will have a 9.0 firmware for their PX5 units this month. Maybe others will update as well.

I'm a little disgusted to learn that, I should have better information before.
Is it possible to make my Joying 8.1 compatible with my OP6 Pie in another way?
In bluetooth everything works very well but in usb (for android auto and mirror function) my OP6 sees the joying but the joying does not connect to the OP6.
Thank you for your skills
OP6 Android 9.0 with Z-Link is working on the new intel joying units....

I believe you can attempt using the trial version of Headunit Reloaded Android Auto and if this works out. You can try out using the full version.

I can confirm this to work with Pixel 2 running Android 9.0 using both wired and wireless.
It's not installing Android 9.0 directly onto the head unit but it will mirror any source android phone as long as it's 4.1+.

The OP asks whether he can upgrade his PX5 to Android 9. Not whether he can use an Android 9 phone/device with his unit.
That's a big difference and mirroring your phone to your head unit might be enough, but it is always a big functionality limitation when comparing it with the full head unit functionality.
For me the only concern with older Android versions it the lack of support when it comes to security patches by those Chinese suppliers. Joying (and all the others) simply stop supplying security updates even though the Android 8.0 version on the PX5 is still fully supported.
Using Android auto or headunit reloaded does not change that. It might even make it worse (and especially with z-link)

But seeing that the OP may be staying with his current PX5 I took the liberty of suggesting an alternative to Z-link. Seeing as I have hit the same snag as him with my PX5 and Pixel 2 running Android 9.0. So as a reiteration to the previously mentioned:

You are completely right. I had overseen his second question. sorry.
Headunit reloaded should/might work.
Z-link only works with phone versions up to 8.1 with the PX-5.
The new 9853i (8.1) does work with Android 9 phones. It might be worth trying to install that z-link version onto the PX5 to see whether that works.

I thank you all for your answers.
I made a cross on a hypothetical update of the PX5 but if an application can replace Z-link to run my OP6 pie it would be great.
Or a custum ROM ....

I have an OnePlus 6T and I have the 10.1" octacore 4/64 GB px5 8.1 joying unit and I contacted them about it. They say they are working on an update to fix it. So... We shall see, not holding my breath. I plugged in my backup Moto E4 and the works with z link.
What I'm trying to figure out is what update my unit needs since they have their Intel altimont update on their site and I'm not sure if that's compatible.
Edit: ok so I see that I have a QD unit, I reached out to joying to see if there's any recent updates
Hi, is it possible to update a firmware/ROM from android 8.0 to 8.1 using Joying web updates? My HU is Xtrons MCU KEQ, but is essentially a Joying hardware with px5 4/32g.
Thanks in advance

No.
The PX5 8.0 firmware is an ARM64 android. The intel airmont 8.1 firmware is an x86_64 android.
They are completely incompatible. And then there is the differences in other hardware requiring other drivers.

Im lookin to replace my com.syu.amp from my actual 8.0 system. How can I get a new/different one? I saw that Joying is showing a new parametric EQ in the 8.1 set. And the HU dont have a DPS hardware. So.. Is there a way to take some Archives from android 8.1 to use it on 8.0?
Thanks in advance Surfer!

I don't think so.
And the com.syu.eq is the "visual" equalizer. I'm afraid the difference in hardware is too big to make it work. And I also think that other libraries and drivers are required.

My problem is that EQ is not doing that would be at all. 7 bands and and every one of this acts as HPF. Its imposible get a good spot.
On system/priv-app/ there are 2 folders related to audio, one is the 180000000_com.syu.amp that inside has an .apk called AMP.
And de second folder is com.syu.eq that has the Eq executable.
Maybe trying with the last Joying web firmware to px5 from november 2018? What do you think?
Thanks again for your help.

Sorry. I really don't know. I already mentioned my doubts and have no further experiene with it, and know nobody who has.
Would it be possible to see if the Z-Link apk (from new Intel Joying) can work on the 8.0 (PX5). If someone can extract the apk and share it from the device itself? I've tried downloading the firmware, and extract the system.img but I can't go any further than that for now. I need to figure out how to extract ext4 images on a mac.

Help identifying head unit FUNROVER

Dear all,
i have this Funrover head unit, please your help if it possible yo update firmware, actually i have android 8.0 but its very slow and the mirrorlink or Easyconnect wont work on usb type C...
i attached details of my head unit
thank you all, any help please
just need to know what firmware can install, since the one that came with the HU doesnt work easyconnect (android 8.0.)

You have a Sofia unit. That unit is running Android 6.0.1. That does not support phones with Android 8.x. There is no firmware that will help you.
You should better take a look at HUR: Head Unit Reloaded. It is made by an XDA developer.

What info? From the supplier or the website or on your unit?
I don't see that from your images.
Also: A Sofia running on android 8.0? That would be the first that I know of (but I don't know everything , not by far )
Your 2nd image shows a Bluetooth version of 6.0.1.-23. That version is not correct, but is shows Android 6.0.1 with some kernel version.
Anyway: Even if your Sofia is running Android 8, there is no (custom) firmware available that will allow it to pair with an android phone on 8.x or newer.
Thank you for the explanation surfer.
That means i cannot install any of the firmware on this forum?

Probably not. Maybe you can install the gtxaspec custom rom, but only if your funrover is 100% identical with a Joying Sofia (which is possible).
Normally there is a fyt.prop where the company is defined. For Joying that id is 43. So even if you use that custom rom, you first need to change the id in the custom ROM to the Funrover id, otherwise your MCU will give problems.
And even in that case: your android phone 8 will still not be supported in Android auto/Easyconnected.
So my advice: Don't even try that route as you will not have any support.
Go for HUR like I advised in my first post.

[Need Help] How to update a Android PX6 Android HU

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.
https://www.sendspace.com/file/pfbgl1
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.

Updating to yet another stock firmware will not do any improvements on your head unit. There might be custom firmware for your head unit but you need to post a screenshot of your System Info. It will contain your MCU.

Hi @ExtremeMOD I'll would like your help and knowledge, I bought a year ago a Chinese android head unit, specifically a yt9216b in Aliexpress
(https://aliexpress.ru/item/10000205...4W7zQi_w9naFPgRWKuFXS_Vu6YMEwP6xoCxIgQAvD_BwE)
months ago I changed the default launcher to Car Launcher Free by Apps Lab Studio
(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.autolauncher.motorcar.free&hl=es)
and a month ago suddenly the touchscreen has no response and I cant do anything at all
I haven't upgraded or modified any of the firmware or anything like that cause I don´t know how to do it, as I wrote I only change launcher cause it was an easy thing to do and for esthetical reasons.
I´ve watched some of your videos and the only thing I can share to you about de head unit is the next image and the video of the failure or malfunction, cause the touchscreen isn´t working I can´t go to see the kernel version.
thanks for reading and hopefully you can advice of what and how to do it
happy holidays!!

Check the flat cable in the middle, inside the unit. Sounds like it's loose. Or insert it the other way.
