After a lot of searching here and elsewhere I was not able to find a unit that matches these parameters. The unit was branded as Premier AN-740 which is obviously just a sticker label. Any help with identifying this unit will be greatly appreciated.

Update: The stock ROM for this unit accepts 8888+OK as "secret code" to get to the opening logo customization screen. Maybe this provides a clue?

Update #3: ROOT!
I was able to root my device using the procedure outlined here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/android-head-units/ownice-c500-root-t3558760
Using the longer password and with some minor command line alterations (see screenshot here https://ibb.co/njSw5q). Hope this helps someone.
My next goal is to get to the factory settings. If anyone gets the code for that please post it here.
head unit info
Hello, it seems that I have the same head unit. Mine is unbranded and it's shaped to fit a 2008 suzuki swift, however all the codes seems the same.
What I got until now is that 8888 is the boot logo code selection and I can access to the engineering mode menu by dialing *#*#3646633#*#*
I'm trying to perform a factory reset because I accidentally delete the "su" executable and I cannot access it anymore even with the password, howevere there is a factory reset password that I can't find on the net. The next step will be trying to access the "RST" button and check what it does.
Hi Mr. Purple,
Thanks for your code

I can confirm that it works for me as well. I was not however able to locate the FM Radio settings I was looking for (let me know if you find those).
Good luck with the factory reset, and let us know how it turned out.
Updates
I have some news:
The actual model seems to be the witson w2-k7xxx (in which xxx is the code of the shape of the front panel, mine is w2-K7658).

I managed to access the system menu with the code 3711 and here there are the FM settings!
Here follows what I discovered by trying and trying again and searching on the net:
CODES (to be inserted in Settings > software version > small gear icon near HMI):
3711 -> factory settings
8888 -> boot logo settings
6666 -> a chinese text that reports "no update files where found" appears (probably the update code)
7777 -> a chinese text that reports "no update files where found" appears (probably the update code)
0 -> MCU update page
How to access the engineering mode:
dial *#*#3646633#*#*
How to access the firmware update page:
Click the RST button
touch the screen (and move your finger) until a writing appear on the top left
if a binary file is present in the root of the SD card, then the update begins
How to perform a factory reset: (/system partition is left unchanged, only user data is wiped)
Click the RST button
touch the screen with five fingers (and move them) until a writing appears on the top left
The factory reset procedure will begin. It lasts for 10 minutes
I mailed witson for a firmware update (in order to override the /system partition and restore the su executable) but they ask me for a serial number that is written on the unit. I will disassemble it in a couple of days and if I manage to get this update, I will post it there. However it seems that each model has its own custom firmware that supports only one button layout. If I flash a firmware of the same family (w2-k7xxx) but from a different model, the buttons may not work.
Maybe you can find your own model on witson website

Wow man, you've really been busy! I'm definitely going to try out those codes and knowing who the manufacturer is will help as well. The user interface here definitely looks familiar, though I'm a bit confused as to how you were able to discover the XXX code in the W2-K7XXX part number of your unit. In any case thanks again for all the info and keep us updated, especially if you manage the much needed firmware update...

Well, my HU has the panel that fits only in the 2008 suzuki swift, so I used the search engine on their site to look for "Suzuki Swift" and there I got the part number!
However if you have a standard panel maybe you can go in product page, then on the left column select "+ For Universal All-in-one" and see if one of the model is the one you own. In that page I see only 4 Android 6.0 headunit: W2-K7900G, W2-K7927G, W2-K7902 and W2-K7924 (I can't send link because I'm new on XDA, but you can easily find them)
From the photos you posted, it seems that your HU is the W2-K7927G

Yes, I think so too ( Link for anyone interested). It would be nice to be able to confirm that this is indeed the exact model before we attempt a firmware update as flashing the wrong firmware is almost guaranteed to brick the unit (i'll try to search for th exact P/N in the "hidden" menus). Besides, now that I have all these secret menus to play with, maybe I can fix the problems I experience without a firmware update. The biggest two issues are speaker noise while idling (even when radio and music player are off) and waaay too jerky FM reception (unit is constantly trying to find a better frequency for the current station - I was told that I need to lower the FM sensitivity in the technician menu to fix that). If I can fix these two issues, I can definitely live without a F/W update. Did you experience any of these issues or is it just my particular model / unit?

yes, the idle background noise is too loud too on mine. The reception seems fine, just a little worse than the suzuki stock radio definitely usable. However if you find a solution for both, I think I will try it too! At the moment I'm stuck to solve the "su" problem!
sorry to hear that.
i assumed the factory reset took care of the SU problem.

Unfortunately the factory reset only reset the user partition, but the /system partition is left unchanged.
However after two weeks of mails, I finally got a firmware update binary from Witson.
I don't know if it's compatible to your radio, however i mailed to [email protected], they asked me for a product code placed on top of my Head unit and then sent me the update after I provided the code.
Here a picture of the location of the product code on my unit (it's the top side of the box):

}
Maybe you can ask for a firmware too with your serial and then we can check if it's the same file.
Now I'm trying to fixing a network bug that made my cellular network connect to a roaming operator (TIM) instead of my operator (three) due to a wrong priority assignment.
As always nothing but helpful information from MrDeepPurple (seen them in concert not too long ago hehe). I feel kind of ashamed for not contributing anything.

I plan to take apart the center console in my car during this weekend so I'll be sure to check for that code - in addition to a few other things I've been saving for this event such as debugging that horrible background noise we talked about. I plan to disconnect the HU from all peripherals one by one until I find the culprit. If the HU itself is generating that noise I'll need to rethink my strategy. As for the radio reception, I did find the radio sensitivity setting thanks to your help and lowering it did help a little, but it turns out I've been kind'a stupid not noticing how short the antenna the previous owner put on the car was. With that size it was physically impossible to get good reception, so I just ordered an OEM antenna from the car manufacturer and hope to be done with this problem. The moral of this, I think, is that even though this HU is pretty sh**ty, we shouldn't be so quick to blame everything on it as there are other components in the system. One thing to note to anyone fiddling with the system settings from the codes MrDeepPurple provided, be aware that saving the settings will RESET YOUR HOME SCREEN TO STOCK so if you want to try out different settings do it all in one go, otherwise you'll end up having to replace all your widgets and things to the way you like them about a zillion times.

It seems that the problems never end with this HU - is this bug due to the firmware update?
At this pace by the time we get them to perform adequately they will be outdated.
Anyways good luck and keep updating.

yes, this happens on a random OTA update I received a month ago. I didn't even know that this HU can have OTAs. However I'm not able to select network type (2G, 3G, 4G) anymore because the menu is greyed and instead it appeared a menù with PLMN editing. I didn't even know what a PLMN was before that.
However this menù is totally useless, the selection and the editing of PLMNs is resetted when you exit this menu. The PLMN which has the highest priority is TIM, then comes three UK (why uk? iI'm in italy!!). I read that there is a sqlite db accessible only with root permission that contains those informations so I need root to access it.

You contributed to find the correct way to root this HU that is the most useful information to me by now!! Thank you!
well, it seems that the root procedure doesn't work on mine.
After all the steps on Ownice C500 post (even with the short password on forfan executable and the long one with the su executable) it seems that the root doesn't work. When I try to run the su command on a terminal emulator it returns 1. It's a generic error code, so there should be something missing. However I'm not scared to test it now that I have the firmware update files.
Did you use the su executable in the Ownice C500 post?
Are the other file useless (libsupol.so, sukernel and supolicy) ?

so with the firmware update they also patched the system against rooting?

Having performed the root two months ago I'm sorry to say I don't really remember much. However two things are clear from the screenshot (third post in this thread):
1. I used the longer password.
2. Only the actual su file is copied and given execution permissions.
Not sure what's the source of that 'su' executable but it's probably from the link given as I can't recall doing otherwise.
Today I received a new update binary, I will try to upload it soon and check if it solves my problem

I've never tried waze on it, only google maps and sygic and they both works fine! Well, sygic is a bit slow and laggy but still usable.

The main reason I've put Android in the car is be able too use Waze properly (i.e. no weird phone holding gadgets) so yes, I can confirm that Waze works fine on this HU. Otherwise I'd have replaced it long time ago.
As for the idle noise, I currently tend to think it's a hardware rather than software issue. I'm going to take apart the center console and see what's what as soon as I receive some parts I'm waiting for (for which I also need to take apart the center console - no sense in doing it twice). Will report my findings.

Audio offset by 250 ms to fix audio lag.
SuperRepo Included.
All addons brought up to date.
Install Instructions
Just install it like any other APK now with whatever build.prop you like.
If 720P does not work for you then this is not meant for your hardware. It was tested on RockChip Devices but appears to work on a lot of others.
Launcher version is only for roms that don't have a system bar. Auto hide function in any rom hides everything except anything classed as a launcher so it will show system bar if used on a normal rom. You could always rename SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.old and it will remove the bar completely but I don't advise it unless you know what you are doing.
It takes a long time on first run (about 2 minutes) while it sets everything up. The screen will go black and then it will go thru a few backgrounds, Just wait it out. It will launch normally after the first time.
If you find that the Interface it too slow on your device then go to Skin Settings and under "General" click on "Enable Minimum Specifications Settings".

I have to say though Freaktab has a bit more freedom and tolerance level, you can get smashed up here in XDA for giving an opinion .
The sticks are going to be very Mainstream pretty soon, the Chinese manufacturers need standardize a bit and be more consistent and open. They fear being copied and yet all they do is copy around.
The overall "Android Stick Computers" may need a Freaktab moderator, that way no rights would be disturbed and a proper list of roms for devices would make it even in a single thread.

I've never been afraid to give my opinion
As for the copying going on I don't even take much notice of it. You have companies like Minix who are purposely going against GPL 2 and releasing custom versions of XBMC locked to their devices and wont supply the source code. They wouldn't get away with that on XDA for a second. The only thing I can do is inform people of their tactics and advise them against supporting them.
Problem on EVOLVEO Smart TV box Q4
Hi!
Yesterday evening i installed on my box the Beyond XBMC Beta 3.3.
On first run it seems all normaly. But if the startup process was finished and the menu appearing if i choose something the app goes black and nothing..
I waited 5 min and after i go back to home screen. try start again but only black screen.
After reboot i click on app icon it comes a black screen and immadietly close.
I can't start. Only after if i delete the user data and cache for application is possible to start again.
I try'd to "Enable Minimum Specifications Settings". One time i turned successfully this option, but after go back to menu frozen again...
Any idea?
Thankseter

I have absolutely no idea why it would do this for you. I have installed this on over 10 different bits of hardware and it worked on every one for me (except the amlogic playback but I knew that wouldn't work). There are loads of posts over on freaktab also and no one has brought up anything similar. The first install does take a long time and you have to wait it out but after that it should launch quick.
Lets try and find out what is different for you. What machine is it? What OS is it running? What chipset is it?

Hi!
Thank You for reply.
My device based on RK3188 chip.
The official XBMC nightly is running without any problem, but i watch'd your demo video and i find your version more comfortable And i want to try because your is directly optimized for rk chipset. ;

Now that should work for you perfect. It is basically the same device as most of mine.
Which beta did you download, the normal one or the launcher version?
Hi!
The normal version.
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
Hi people, I discovered this version a short time ago, and I've to say it's the best I had trying ever. I strongly recommend to all of you to try it.
But only have a doubt, I can't do the "extrafanart thing" work, I mean, while I am selecting a chapter in a TV show, show a slideshow of different fanarts... I look for in all the settings and not find how it works. Can anybody help me? I hope you can understand me... My English level is awful . Thank you all, and specially for the developer for such a great job!

Reply to myself...
I connected the ZERO Devices Z4C Quattro to the computer as Massive Storage, copied the APK directly by USB and installed successfully from there.
Nice version of xbmc and lets hope this fixes my py errors in some addons.
I don't know why the official gotham version isn't up to scratch, but mate, you saved the day! The entire purpose of my buying the MK908 was to get XBMC on it. When the videos started lagging with the official version, I thought my money and efforts were wasted. But YOU SAVED THE DAY!
Any ideo how to get the media center remote working with MK908.

I also got this new version, mine is the dvd-less 7" model with 6 buttons at the bottom. One other difference that wasn't mentioned: usb keyboard and mouse are not working. Still experimenting with it.
I'm trying to get the source files from my seller lets see how this goes.

I installed it and have been on the road, haven't had time to really do much other than install some apps,
I got update files from my seller but didn't test them yet... The file naming suggests they are encrypted like the. An-21u's if I remember right the encryption got figured out at some point, I'll have to research it when I get some time
Other things I found out so far:
- USB keyboard/mousd doesn't seem to work
- sub out only works with radio, nor poweramp Pandora Bluetooth or even built in music app. I ended up connecting my subwoofer amp to the rear channel
- hard drive works, I use a 128gb solid state hd.
Some apps are not compatible according to play store but can be side loaded (eg. Tablet talk and if I remember right poweramp), some are compatible according to play store but force close (eg gmail and weatherbug)
that's all I got so far, I thought I was buying another an-21 identical to the one I already have because I knew what to do and don't have too much time lately and here I am with the latest...

I also got this unit but my seller was not able to share the update files with me. Would it be possible to get them from you? I would like to investigate the differences to the dual core firmware version. Many thanks in advance.

Somebody (you?) posted the same file "4.4syestem.zip" in the AN-21U dual core thread a couple of days ago, and I got it already investigated by a real expert for this. It turned out (in the emulator) that it's the dual core firmware. You could double check - maybe something went wrong.

Did you check whether the system update files were somewhere on the unit? I couldn't find them on mine...
One more comment: My seller always told me that the firmware in the quad core would be the same as in the dual core. When comparing Sciallo's quad core files to my dual core files then there is only 1 significant difference: libandroid_runtime.so (of course the stock app apks are also different but this is not important here).
I'm no Android expert but I could imagine that only some native libraries would have to be modified for the new quad core hardware.
Would i.e. a new libandroid_runtime.so be sufficient?
I will try to contact my seller. I wonder if there could be differences between units. Since they all have the same hardware I doubt it but multiple sources might be helpful.
Got Root rights program: KingRoot , it is permanent.
nice, this is the unit I was looking at on ali express. What I don't understand is looking at the R16 on google, it looks to be a quad core A7, not quad core A9. Can someone link me to the specs of the R16?
The seller is smart rover, here is the item I am looking at:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/8-An...For-Mazda-6-Atenza-2013-2014/32369470348.html
I am curious how it performs against the RK3188-based HUs.

how is BT audio quality? How is mic quality?
Have been playing more. I haven't come across any incompatible apps. However I have noticed Easy Connect doesn't work most of the time and Bluetooth connect is glitchy.

Wrong unit. I have seen that unit before, but its not any of these, however it is another Hybrid unit of the AN-21U
Quadcore Unit (Tontek)
Here's some more info/video from me regarding the quad core unit. I also own a dual core unit from the same manufacturer (Tontek), and I have to confess that the quad core is just superior in any way. My main expectation was that the unit performs faster and that apps like Poweramp and Sygic are running reasonably now - this I just can confirm now. Basically, Tontek seems just to have adjusted the firmware to make it run with the new hardware but all apps look / behave the same as on the dual core. Unfortunately, the seller did not provide the system update files to have a closer look into the firmware (i.e. to check if Red Mod could be adjusted to run on the quad core).

I have noticed that these units vary in the AN-21U updates,
For example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Tonghai_Create_AN-21_U#Versions
My Unit runs the update "System Version 2.6.40". Now of course these numbers will not match up with the quad core unit's numbers since all these updates have been modified, however they all vary in which update they carry. Now what does this mean? I don't know. Yet...
I can confirm that kingroot works, @imableeblob you might want to update the first post
---------- Post added at 12:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ----------
I've been getting the usual Chinese stalling techniques from my seller. Still on it and they're still promising to provide the update files.... we'll see.
Hello XDA. No real question or in-depth review in this thread, I just like to share an observation over a Chinese Android Head Unit I just bought last Saturday.

Features
Disc slot for DVD Audio, Video CD, and Audio CD.
Analog TV and its extendable antenna.
Front AUX input.
Two front Micro SD slot.
Reverse camera input.
A single bluetooth module dedicated to phone calls (Along with a dialer app). Inaccessible from Android system.
Since it's still at Android version 4.1.1, some application that requires API beyond level 16 cannot be installed.
Installed apps
Code:
Google Maps 6.14.1 Google Play Store
Google Play Music Google Play Store
Nova Launcher Google Play Store
AutoMate - Car Dashboard Sideload (Google Play Store says it's incompatible with the device)
Quirks
Hardware
Only 4 hardware buttons; Eject disc, Mute/Power, Volume Up, and Volume Down.
Hardware buttons are hard to press and made a loud clicky noise.
The external storage cover fell easily.
The bezel surrounding the screen protrudes too far which made navigation around the screen's edge difficult.
Too slow to even load Google Play Music's cover art properly (Blank grey boxes).
Software
Lags, even when doing simple activities e.g. volume change and notification bar swipe.
Applications that requested immersive mode can't go back since the Home-Menu-Back buttons are presented as softkey only. Swiping from the top does nothing.
Radio app opens automatically at every boot (Cold and standby). Undesirable as I have Automate running at startup.
Brightness level reset itself to max level at every boot (Cold and standby).
Google Maps Navigation still uses the old 2D UI due to the API limitation.
The unit's rootable using KingRoot with a bit of a glitch. The app states that the process failed; but at the next reboot, root is present.
The home screen are slow, unintuitive, and full of system-crawling animations. Fortunately, there's Nova Launcher.
I'll fix the post's formatting and write more information as I go, but so far I'm not yet impressed and considering getting another unit. But for now I would very much appreciate any input however trivial from XDA.
Thank you and sorry for any spelling/grammar mistakes.
Update : For future references :
Android version 4.3 (Jelly Bean MR2, API 18) is the bare minimum for a head unit as Google Maps Navigation with the latest UI requires it.
Knob volume buttons are so much easier and safer to use on a car head unit.
I'd hate to get off topic; including on my own thread, but I don't want to clutter the subforum so here goes.
Can anyone tell me the differences between Joying unit model number JY-UL124 and JY-UL135? Spec wise I can see no difference. Are both of them MTCD? Both has :
Code:
CPU RK3188
RAM DDR 3
RAM Capacity 1 GB
Internal storage 16 GB
Version Android 5.1.1
Screen size 7"
Thank you.
all I can see about those Joying, is the knob is in a different place

Yeah that's the most I can surmise too.
Recovery and rom
Hi and thanks for your correct observations and info about this device.
Me too I found the same limitations, but before to change it I would try to change the rom. My questions are:
1) what is the exact botton sequence to enter into recovery mode? (I found it long time ago, but I don't remember anymore).
2) Do someone know a rom that I could add to the device to try to remove the limitation indicated below? "Malaysak" rom or CM rom?
Thanks to anyone that could help me..
Bye

Lags, even when doing simple activities e.g. volume change and notification bar swipe.
Applications that requested immersive mode can't go back since the Home-Menu-Back buttons are presented as softkey only. Swiping from the top does nothing.
Radio app opens automatically at every boot (Cold and standby). Undesirable as I have Automate running at startup.
Brightness level reset itself to max level at every boot (Cold and standby).
Google Maps Navigation still uses the old 2D UI due to the API limitation.
The unit's rootable using KingRoot with a bit of a glitch. The app states that the process failed; but at the next reboot, root is present.
The home screen are slow, unintuitive, and full of system-crawling animations. Fortunately, there's Nova Launcher.
I'll fix the post's formatting and write more information as I go, but so far I'm not yet impressed and considering getting another unit. But for now I would very much appreciate any input however trivial from XDA.
Thank you and sorry for any spelling/grammar mistakes.
Update : For future references :
Android version 4.3 (Jelly Bean MR2, API 18) is the bare minimum for a head unit as Google Maps Navigation with the latest UI requires it.
Knob volume buttons are so much easier and safer to use on a car head unit.

I'm opening this thread just to gather all that we know about those watches that have exactly the same SOC. What we have now are different threads were people seldom post and contribute, so I'm going to post what I have. Please contribute what you can even just to post the daily behaviour of your watch.
There is another thread where people have been posting about the Ourtime X01s but it has passed long time since we saw the OP so the first post isn't updated at all. https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm...ourtime-x01s-3g-smartwatch-phone-1gb-t3469741

- ROMs
Nowadays we know that there are 2 versions of the watch. The one with 3 sensors and the one with only one sensor. It seems that the maker wants to use the 3 sensors as the TenFifteen and the one sensor as the Ourtime X01s, but made a mistake and mixed them. So late in 2016 if you bought a Ourtime X01s you could get one of these:
- Watch with 3 sensors, metal back cover.
- Watch with 1 sensor, plastic back cover.
The back is to be confirmed but I don't have enought reports just to state that. At first, the maker put the same ROM in all of them so if your warch is a 1 sensor one and has the 3 sensor ROM you have a watch with a terrible use of battery, the CPU never deepsleep and it gets very hot. If your watch is a 3 sensor one with the one sensor ROM it works fine but has 2 sensors locked.
Unfortunately I got a watch with one sensor that the stupid chinese put the 3 sensor ROM so it doesn't work as you can expect. Don't know the other people, but in my case I'm totally sure that simply loading the correct ROM the watch will work as expected. Update 04/06/2017: Now I'm totally sure that I was right, because I got a 1 sensor ROM and my watch works like a charm. Continue reading....
I know at least 4 ROMs released:
- Aug 29 2016 <- 3 sensors one and came loaded in all the TenFifteen units (not rooted) (Thanks to @VaderMaul) https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4oAJ0VFTbAFajd3X0U4UGpKcG8
- Oct 22 2016 <- 3 sensors one and came loaded in some Ourtime X01s (already rooted) https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4oAJ0VFTbAFSjZXZmtyYXFZV0E
- Dec 16 2016 <- 1 sensor came loaded in Ourtime X01s (Not rooted, chinese version, no play store) (Thanks to @bigkay) https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4oAJ0VFTbAFYWJBcDJOWGJ0VkU
- Dec 16 2016 <- 1 sensor. I managed to clean the chinese app's from the ROM and install google services (already rooted, google services working, no chinese app's) https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4oAJ0VFTbAFQkV1SVBBYjYxeGM
- Jan 12 2017 <- 1 sensor (to be confirmed)
Searching for the other releases especialy the 1 sensors ones. If you have one of these please try to help because having the 2 versions all the people could fix the issues that are having with his watches.
Read this advice carefully....
At this point it could happend the following:
- Your watch is a 3 sensors one with the ROM of one sensor. If this is the case, simply loading my ROM your watch will unlock the other 2 sensors and all will work perfect. Lucky you....
- Your watch is a 1 sensor one with the correct ROM. If you load my ROM the other 2 sensors won't work (because they doens't exist) and it will start working bad, having a terrible use of the battery and never sleeping the processor. In this case, you need to download the 1 sensor ROM to turn it back.... if you have a watch with this behaviour from factory, be sure that it came with a wrong ROM. Download the 1 sensor one and give a life to your watch....
You can see the sensors that reports your watch with some apps like cpu-z or sensors test.
- How to make a backup of your watch's ROM:
Make a copy of the ROM doesn't take more than 30 minutes and the watch is not in danger of break or stop working. If you do a copy, please be careful of not share the nvram.bin file or send me the ROM for clean it up and don't share your personal data.
Whatever are you going to do with you watch, you will need the MTK drivers. Download them here https://androidmtk.com/download-mtk-usb-all-drivers (last version at the end of the page)
If your device is not rooted:
You would find a complete step by step guide here: https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-526.html You don't need to do the first part of the guide "build the scatter file" . Download it here instead https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4oAJ0VFTbAFbmtiaEJoMmJtMWc and go to the "launch SP Flash Tools" part. It works in W10
If your device is already rooted:
You could follow the guide above or you would find a complete guide here with another method: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730031 On youtube you will find lots of videos also. It works in W10. In fact all my backups are made under W10.
If MTK Droid Tools is not able to see your watch, you need to edit just a file. Do step by step this guide and your watch would be recognized straight. Sorry the guide is in Spanish but may be you can use google to translate all the entire page https://www.hell-desk.com/android-debug-bridge-y-dispositivos-usb-no-encontrados/ .
When you got the copy of the ROM please share here and I'll post in the first post in order to complete the ROM's set.
If you loaded a new ROM with the "format" method, you will face the problems below:

- Custom recovery:
I have been unable to make the CWM recovery with MTK Droid tools. It gives an error and I can't continue. In other hand, I have been able to make a TWRP Recovery. Unfortunately it is bigger in bytes than the original one so to load it to the watch is necesary to modify the scatter file and I haven't enought knoledge to do this. I left the file in my drive if someone whants to try. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4oAJ0VFTbAFeXozaThHNDR2c00

Where did you get the twrprecovery.img file?
To install twrp.img use flashify.apk (Google Play)
My watch also runs at 1 GHz and it deep sleeps no problems, it even wakes once you tap the screen in deep sleep, battery lasts for seven to eight days in flight mode used as a watch only. The rom has a build date Dec 13 2016.
'My watch also runs at 1 GHz and it deep sleeps no problems, it even wakes once you tap the screen in deep sleep' that's true. I use the clock with wifi, gps, bluetooth, facebook, messenger, twitter, dolphin, link2sd, l-call, maps, navigator, runtastic, shaketolock, snap camera hdr, etc ... less than 1 day of battery usage (like any cell phone). My build number x01s_v1.1.
any news about custom recovery?
Same here.My watch is most of the time in deep sleep.

Finally i have the x01s! Already had a zgpax s8 and the new s99 round smartwatch , but always prefer the square ones! Need to learn more about this watch...does it have an air gesture for watching time without touching botton from the black screen? Cannot find anything on the setting app... where i can find screen protector for this smartwach? Thanks

I tried to make the custom recovery on my computer with the watch connected directly and running this program https://twrp.me/ Follow this guide http://www.androroot.com/2015/02/how-to-make-custom-recovery-for-any.html The program was able to build the recovery.img but it was bigger that the original. Try if you want because I see now that there is a new version of the program.

Which brand is your watch? Ourtime or Tenfifreen? In some time nobody has reported this build. Known is the 29 August build and 22 October. The first one is from a TenFifteen and the other one is from a Ourtime. In fact this build is the one that is in the ROM in the first post. If you make a copy please share it. :good:

I think that we have exactly the same ROM but this doens'r work for me. Did you something special to make the deep sleep works? Just install the program and that's it? In my case I have tried changing lots of setting but no chance.

The watch doesn't has gesture itself. May be you can search for an app that use the accelerometer to do that. I don't like this feature because is a battery drainer but try it yourself....
I'd like to start this thread hoping that as many of you as possible will chip in with useful info. I personally researched a lot before buying a HU, especially interested in how the default UI looks like, launcher, radio app, music app, EQ app, settings, etc... Got some useful info from different sellers, re-sellers, Chinese support staff, etc, but nothing compares to a real community, and i wished this info would have been available in a single thread...
My reasons were various: noticed some HU have subwoofer controls in EQ app, some not. Waze looks different (text scaling) on identical sized displays...Some radio apps displayed RDS text, some not... Some launchers and apps look simply horrible, some almost OEM-like...you get the idea Until we can claim that all HUs can be rooted and custom FWs can be installed, many of us will be stuck with whatever you get out of the box.
So i'll start.
To keep things somewhat organised, please post following info besides UI screenshots:
- Make/model
- Source of purchase (which online store)
- HW specs (RAM, ROM, display size, CPU info, etc.)
- SW specs (Android version, MCU, etc.)
- UI images (DEFAULT radio app, media app, eq app, bluetooth app, settings menu, about screen, launcher, etc..)
One more thing: there's many versions of the same thing running around under different store names, etc. If you have a HU that's similar to whatever's been posted here, just link to an existing post. Create new reply only if there's different UI elements or FW features, etc. Thx!

@zerozoneice - I see you have prints for two devices. What would be the main differences between them? How is the audio quality? I am thinking of buying the second one(cheaper) for my MK5 Golf to replace the standard stereo.

some differences are:
- screen size (advantage 9")
- settings customizations (advantage 8")
- possibility to set standby time when ACC is OFF (10min, 20, 30, 1h, 2h) - advantage 8"
- proper voice-over-navi implementation in the 8" (music volume fades but doesn't stop, navi notifications play, music volume goes back up) - advantage 8"
- audio quality is the same
- big advantage of 9" is that it has subwoofer control (volume/gain, frequency cutoff), whereas the 8" has only a "bass" slider and you need to globally adjust the woofer volume (gain) from the amp itself in the trunk
- working display brightness better in 8" than in the 9"
- better looking radio APK in the 8", but both display RDS info.
as you can see the 8" has more advantages, but somehow i'm running the 9" one now they're both good....
the perfect unit would be the FW of the 8" combined with the screen and UI of the 9"...go figure..

A couple of questions:
1. Can you run Android Auto as a standalone apk/launcher on this unit?
2. Did you try connecting a front dashcam to the Composite video input?
I wonder if the 6.0.1 FW will work with other T3 units. I spoke to my seller’s tech support, he claims that the factory hasn’t deemed Android 6 stable and ready for public use yet.

3. dupdate.img might work across T3 devices, but don't touch MCU update, it has to be exclusively from your vendor

I tried @velvetpig's instruction but fails for my 'Topway?' unit. Neither the System Update menu under the MCU Update in Settings work.
