chinese Headunit Android 9.1 - Android Head-Units

I bought a Chinese HU off of Amazon. I tried contacting the seller and haven't heard back.
Model #DS01P102S01C26
ZYC-9in DaZhong 8227L-A9.1
I'm trying to find firmware for this. It was made for a VW Jetta/Golf/Passat.
I cant find the wiki some others have mentioned in other posts related to the factory settings. I am able to get into factory setting using the 8888 code. I would like to know what each setting does before I start messing with them. Such as the power option, "On" and "Remember last". The radio clock keeps the last time the car was on, not the current time (edit: Fixed clock). I also need to find some information about changing the interface buttons to what I want or using a launcher that can still use the FM Radio.

I installed a couple of launchers to try out. Carwebguru so far is my favorite, but it has its limitations. I can't link native "phone", "radio", or "videos" apks.
I installed Nova Launcher Prime to try and build my own themed launcher but the same thing has happened. Can't find the native apps. I tried creating a widget with the menu and selecting the Nova actions, apps actions, and shortcut actions. I found the phone and etc. apps but when I would tap the icons nothing would happen.
I have tried to install other phone and contact apps ie. Phone by Google and an app called Contacts. The apps opens and my contacts are there, but when I tap on a contact I get an error at the bottoms that says something like "app isn't installed" or "No app to open contact". I am able to make calls using "Hey Google" and telling it to call a contact. Why does carwebguru give the options to use these shortcuts to things it can't use?
I can live without FM radio since I can save a collection of music and stream some.

Try this radio.apk. I used it in FCC launcher and it works on my Pumpkin Single DIN. Speedfire is still working on integrating into his quickplayer in FCC.
Go to this link and look for the posting by Darkow on that page for the APK

I'm going to give it a try when I get off work. I was trying to get Nova launcher to open the radio app, but that didn't happen. I did find the Bluetooth for calls and music though.

How did you get the Bluetooth to work in a launcher. I am missing that functionality.

I used Nova launcher to find the system apk for the Bluetooth. My head unit has Bluetooth music, phone calls, and contacts all in one. I will have to see what it was called. Once I found it in Nova launcher, I was able to locate it in carwebguru in order to add it to the home screen.
Edit: the name of the app was: com.ts.MainU

I bounced back to the standard launcher to get a base idea of what it will do. It has a dialer and phone connection, but it does not seem to be able to use Google contacts as the phone book and launcher. What are you using for a contact list?

Launcher Pro's default Phone App shortcut on the dock issue

Just to share some finding (if it is not yet been widely been a known issue) about the Phone App of Galaxy S when using with Launcher Pro.
I was very frustrated by the Phone App comes with the Galaxy S, when I get my Galaxy S, I use Launcher Pro right the way, there is a Phone shortcut on the dock, which I didn't alter it and use it from the beginning.
I eventually discovered that when I launch the Phone App every time, it will goes to the dial pad screen, instead of the call log screen which I left the Phone App last time, I was thinking of this is a bug of the Phone App since there is no setting on the Phone App for choosing which screen to startup, so I was searching if there is any alternative but there is none in the market better than the stock one.
My friend just show me he his Galaxy S using ADW Launcher, and when I open the Phone App on his phone, it goes back to the call lock screen, woo! That is what I'm looking for, but how did he do that? He said he did nothing, so I go to download ADW Launcher right the way and I got the same result, probblem solved!
However, I personally prefer Launcher Pro more, and seem that is not the problem of the Phone App itself but between the Phone App and Launcher Pro, so I launch back Launcher Pro again and try. The same problem appear again, so I launch the Phone App from the drawer when using Launcher Pro, the problem gone too!
So, I try to hold on the Phone shortcut on the dock, re-assign the shortcut to launch the Phone App, it launch properly now.
So the original phone shortcut seems to be having some problem, maybe calling something else which is equivalent to the Phone on the original shortcut?
Anyway, re-assign the Phone App to the dock will solve this.
Thanks!
I also had to do the same for contacts icon (was not assigned to the contacts app).
guess the shortcut was not calling the phone app but was calling the default calling applications
like when you launch the app normally , it asks the phone to launch the app
when you use that shortcut , it tells the phone you want to call
With the swipe function in the dock, u can have the best of both worlds.
The default press brings me to the dialer, while swiping up bring me to the call log provided it was last closed in that position.
i have a USB connection problem with Kies when is Launcher pro can be connected when using Kies no problem is there any fix for this ?
Samsung Kies will not work with any other launcher other than the default TWLauncher. You will need to switch back the default launcher to the TWLauncher before you can connect under Kies mode. You can download an application called "Home Switcher" to change the default launcher. To play safe, reboot after change the default launcher.

Thanks very much Copo!
The best way to do this to alwas get the call log is this:
Use the default Launchpro icon to get to the dialer, which i find is great. Then change the swipe gesture to launch an activity and the activity is part of the phone app and choose the log option tab...i think it is the first or second choice.
That way you have the best of both worlds
Swipe up for sure. I use it for launching contacts. Such a handy feature, really improves productivity.

Anyone know what activity uses Launcher Pro to open dialpad directly?
I want to use that shortcut with ADW, but i can't find it in activities. I managed to open dialpad from a shortcut with the activity: Contacts -> Contacts(.TwelveKeyDialer), but dialpad is opened without tabs at the top (Phone, Call log, Contacts, Favorites).
How can i find what shortcut command Launcher Pro uses for opening dialer?

[Q] Phone & Contacts Icons Disappeared HELP ?

OK so i didn't much like the stock Dialer and contacts to slow and look horrible so i set about trying to find a suitable alternative, now upon finding a couple of good ones Dialer One & TouchPal Go i followed various guides on how to set up installed dialers as your default dialer, applications manager-all then clear default on stock phone app launch new dialer and it should come up with an option to choose which dialer to use, ive come to the conclusion that most of the dialer apps ive tried this option never comes up thus not allowing you to use as a stock dialer, now i read that if you disable the contacts under application manager - all then go into your dialer you want to use it will come up with the new default option upon doing this i noticed that the Stock contacts & phone icon have disappeared from the homescreen and app-drawer, i can only find the phone listed in application manager - all but not contacts , what do i do to get them back ? thx
the same thing u did to disable them those 2 apps are related

are they backed up if yes try restoring them
Not sure on your question per se but once you do get em back ignore those guides because you don't have to do anything to make it work. Just lose the shortcuts on the desktop and replace them with the ones you want and press that icon instead. When an app wants to hook a dialer and you have more than one installed a window will pop up asking which one you want to use, select dialer one and always and you are good to go. This will happen each time a new app that hasn't tried to use the dialer before wants to do so but it wont be long before you have them all covered and you never see them again. The good thing about this is you simply need to clear defaults to go back should you choose and also if you want to use them on a case by case basis you can. In other words dont select always and the option will come up every time that app tries to hook the dialer. The same holds true with the contacts and replacement contact apps.

'When an app wants to hook a dialer and you have more than one installed a window will pop up asking which one you want to use, select dialer one and always and you are good to go' EXACTLY and after many wasted hours i concluded that many of the dialer/contacts apps dont allow for such an option to appear the new app just launches without said popup box. However i still dont know how to get back the stock phone/contacts icon.

[ solved ] Nova Launcher prime - double tap to sleep - how to?

as the title says - how to enable double tap to sleep (screen off) using gestures in Nova Launcher prime?
i know it has something to do with assigning an activity via Nova Launcher gestures, but i can't find any activity that relates to screen off or sleep...
any help is appreciated...
note:
i know how to do this using an extra app "Screen Off and Lock", but i just wanted to know is there a posibility to avoid any extra apps to achieve the same thing...
Download Turn Off Screen from play store and assign it to Double Tap on Nova launcher in Gesture Settings.

i think you posted this in the same time i was writing the "note" part in my post
I think not. If i remember, it worked well without 3rd party app, but now it is "disabled". Anyway, here is another guide:
"The Nova Launcher option
Another app that functions very similarly to the way you’d use Apex Launcher is*Nova Launcher. The same as you did for the first method, you will only be able to use this one if you also installed Greenify on the device. Therefore, you should go to the Google Play store and look for these two tools and install them.
Whenever you’re ready, check the steps below:
Open Nova Launcher and go to its Settings.Click on Gestures and Buttons and scroll down to Gestures.Select Double Tap and wait for the Choose Action menu to load.Go to Shortcuts, and then click on Hibernate and Lock Screen.
You may have noticed before that selecting the right settings in the first application is going to automatically send you to the second app you need to use. In this case,*Greenify will open*a new discussion and ask you to authorize Nova to use your screen.
You should go under the Automator and click on Allow Greenfy, and then confirm this option by pressing Activate. You’re now good to go and can test if the display is working properly by double tapping to send it to sleep."

thanks, but i don't use greenify and this guide is more complicated than "nova + screen off&lock" option which i already use...
Easy, you don't need to use a 3rd party app. Just doubletap the status bar to sleep
You can do this in every app, whenever you want to sleep just double tap status bar

i know that but it's not confortable enough...
i even had double tap navbar to sleep (g3twb) which worked well until i started using 5 buttons navbar making it harder to hit the blank area...
It looks like you may need first of all nova launcher prime, after that , you may need greenify as well.Here is what i did and it works.
1 . Go to Nova settings>gestures and input>double tap
2 . swipe right to the shortcuts tab and then go down you may find "hibernate + lockscreen"
3 . Assign it and it works!
double tap to sleep is working for me.
hope this helps.

thanks, but please read all the posts again before posting what i (we) already know and wrote
1. i already have nova prime (else - i won't be asking because gestures don't work with free version anyway)
2. i've said that i got it working with "screen off & lock" app
cheers
Screen turns off if knocked on or close to status bar when I do it.
But what is the problem with having another app installed? Its size is ridiculous and it solves your problem, and always you can hide if u dont want to see it.

From the apps that I have Tasker and GravityBox can do screen off/sleep. And if you are using them already that doesn't count as an extra app, right?
Just realized this myself, one less app in my phone. I think I will go with tasker since I already run a lot of stuff with it.

Oh man, you should try tasker. It's what puts SMART in smartphone. Was messing around today with it. I found an old buss ticket that can work as nfc tag and put it on my phone holder on bicycle. I have set it to trigger launching Strava app, turning on GPS, setting brightness to max and forcing landscape mode for that app. And when I exit app, BAM, it reverts everything back the way it was. It's like slide and click instead of multiple actions. Might be overly excited about it right now, and definitely off topic here, but had to mention it hehe. I hope you will find a way to use that gesture the way you want, everything is possible on android

if you knew how i use my device you'd be asking "why don't i use nokia 3310 instead?"
no gps, no bluetooth, no location of any kind, no gaming, half of google services blocked etc...
no vibers, no hangouts, no skypes, no syncs - some calls, few sms messages... (i mostly communicate through google chat and emails while on pc since most of my work depends on beeing on pc anyway)
i read articles, browse and listen to music 90% of the time...
call me old fashioned - but i still love to have some "human manual control" over things on my device

New to Android Wear and autovoice/wear. Help me, please.. Going absolutely mental!

Hi guys.
[PROBLEM SOLVED]
Im really in over my head here. Day 3 with my smartwatch and it is VERY much trial and error..
But so far I have made a cool Watchface in Watchmaker, and tampered a bit with autovoice, autowear and tasker.
Here is my problem, and it is making me go absolutely crazy:
As far as I understood I can make a command that acts like a "bogus app" (called "Hal", "Jarvis" etc) through Autowear. Those "apps" shows up in the applist and can be assigned to different commands. (Am I totally off here?)
I now made a "Hal" "app" that is supposed to launch the Autowear voice search. And a "Jarvis" "app" that is supposed to launch the OK Google voice search.
When I swipe from the right and get the App list the two "Apps" DO show up and clicking those acts as expected: Launching the Google Voice search and the Autovoice Search respectively. So far so good.
BUT:
When I assign the VERY SAME commands to a button/image/icon/whatsitcalled in Watchmaker, both the Jarvis and Hal command/app/whatsitcalled sends me to the Autovoice settings screen.
Why? Why doesn't it just launch the voice searches? Just like it does when clicking the "Jarvis" and "Hal" "apps" in the app list? It makes no sense, please, please, please help me out.
Found out it was a bug in watchmaker. Found a workaround by letting the icon launch a Tasker task that launches the proper app.

Reminder is gone?

Hello, I cant find reminder in phone. Install apk dont work and galaxy apps and google apps dont find anything. Does somebody have working app? Sorry for english
You sure?
The app is there but you think to "need" to use it first. i.e. reject a call with a text etc and that will prompt the phone to launch the app for the first time. After that it will ask you if you wish to create a shortcut. I did this using a Nova Launcher activity widget to start the app and now I have the icon showing under the apps list as usual.

I have the same issue too. I see the reminder app in the apps installed list but nowhere as an icon or app in Samsung Experiece.
I tried the above method also but no prompt of reminder.

I don't have the guts to activate Bixby haha
If you don't want to try Bixby, try "Nova Launcher" and create an Activity widget. Use the widget to launch the Reminder MainUI applet
In settings, under apps, go into the reminder app and in the top right corner you will see the settings icon. Select that, toggle on the online storage and finish configuring. (Add places, etc.) After you do this you will see the app icon in your app drawer.
