Hi all.
I have an RSNav in my car running Android 9, I also have modded headlights that can be controlled via the bluetooth app on my phone. I thought that I'd be able to install the app on my RSNav and control it that way instead of being phone dependant, however the app doesn't work properly on the head unit.
The app is 'Morimoto XBT RGB' and while their hardware is top quality the app is really poor, and it hasn't been updated for about 4 years. When trying to run this on the unit, it does load up, but it's clear that it isn't designed for landscape devices as the title displays all stretched and pixelated. On the main screen it has a color wheel, but this doesn't work properly; it gets cut off and the dot on the wheel glitches all over the place, as does the tone selector. The icons at the bottom also get cut off and you cannot scroll down on the RSNav. I've not even bothered to try and connect via bluetooth.
Picture of the main screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've not got a huge understanding of all this. The RSNav has Android 9, but it's kind of a cut down version and doesn't have all features/options, say, a phone would have. It has nothing to do with screen orientation in the settings, for example. And I've had issues with other apps such as "Poweramp" - it threw an error when I tried to set music folder locations (but I managed to get around it) and people seemed to point out that "something" was missing it depended on.
Anyway I did try some screen orientation apps to try and force it to run in some kind of portrait mode but nothing worked.
So my question is: is there any way to get this working or is it a lost cause?
I wish Morimoto would update the app since a lot of people have had many issues with it, it's outdated, and it has a low rating because of this. But at the moment it stands neglected.

Hi all... Here's a free program which is a Today replacement, it's still in early beta, but it seems promising. I don't know if it has been posted in this forum, so i'm sorry about it if so.
I've tested it on my Trinity, it runs quite fast. it's still too early to be used regularly, but it's a nice concept.

woooooow!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's very coool where do you find it????
Is it a total replacement or does it run on top of the normal ui so you can toggle between the normal today screen and this app?
Nice idea, doesnt work very well, heavy on processor & lots of features not supported yet, like sound mute on/off & wifi

Click to collapse
you can toggle between the normal today screen and this one. try it, nothing is gonna happen
I already said it's early beta, many things still don't work, but it's still a nice concept
Yep, another largely positive review
I didn't know it had an FM-radio??

thanks for posting the link!
hmm not bad..
"Unlike the default Android home screens, the Samsung home screens always start from the leftmost side (like an iPhone), making you swipe through 6 screens just to get to an app or widget on the 7th page."
he can click on the circles to access the 7th page immediately, which is faster than having to "multi-touch" to get an overview of all screens and then selecting..
"The Samsung unlock screen is in our opinion more confusing than the default Android 2.1 unlock screen"
lol......... he can swipe it any direction he wants to access the phone.. how is that confusing..
"To post something on Facebook or Twitter, you have to use the confusingly-named and designed Write and Go app, which looks more like a notepad."
design looks fine and simple to me of write and go..
"There are almost no delays throughout the system (except when installing apps, as on other Android phones); programs open and close almost instantly,"
yay, phew.. many were complaining about slow and laggy browsing so that's good to hear.
nice battery life test and that's with 100% brightness which I will never use, so that's cool =D
strange that sony x10 performs so bad... I would not have expected that..
"At very, very few times - fewer than any other Android phone in the gigahertz speed class - did we notice slowdowns or jerky scrolling in the Android UI itself."
awesome
I just got this tablet recently, not too much surprise since i am already user android 2.2 rom on x10
But i notice there is time where this tablet fail to respond to touch command say after a long timeout. As in i can't move the bubble to unlock the screen at all
I tried to turn it off and the pop up wasn't even responsive at all to touch.
Is this a failure on my tab alone or anyone else have the same problem ?
Also it is common for the tablet to have a slow respond to screen switch and rotate a lot ? I found my tablet go portrait mode even lie down (i want it to be landscape).
please indicate what version you are running and what kernel.
i have no such problems running 3.1 upgraded tu .38
Wrongfeifong from The Order of the Silver Hand? If so Korgana here cool that you got this same tablet lol.
I've not had any problems like that yet.
No, I havn't had any issues and if you want to be landscape use the rotation lock switch, it's beside the volume butons.

Sorry, had to.... anyway, if you are running 3.0 and not 3.1 it could be the "Removal from Charger" issue and causes it to lock up? I dunno, like the others said, what is your current version?
I just got it right out of the box and never update
3.0.1 android version
2.6.36-0001 kernel
and hey small world isn't it? yea i am the same person from silver hand.
Please does anyone have the type to change the home sreny launcher what's in the video? Android 10, Launcher unknown.
At night, the display is very bright, it is no longer possible to reduce the brightness.
So I would like something like: after clicking on the time winget , a black page with the clock opens to keep it going even when I use the physical buttons to switch the radio or music.
And after another click, the homepage returns again.
No screensaver in settings.
Thank you so much for the tips

Hi all,i have a hu android 10 , i installed 3 or 4 launcher , but for ex after i use radio or aux and after close them, next time that i start the car or on hu last app is on screen and start automaticlly, i must change firmware or somthing like this? I attach pic of system info maybe some one can help
Hi,
I have just had an Xtrons Android head unit fitted to my car. I chose it because they make an exact fit for my car so it looks less after-market (ironically compared to better branded units).
My intention was always to customise the interface so it looked more OEM, so I downloaded Nova Launcher and Flight icons.
After some messing around I am starting to get the look that I want.
I have a problem with the Navigation app though. When I used it with factory settings, the navigation app opened a version of Google maps without needing to be online. I suppose that is built in so it works offline. With the new launcher, when you open the navigation map it defaults to the standard version of Google maps that needs Internet access to work.
Even when I launch navigation from the settings menu it does the same thing.
Am I missing something obvious or does anyone have a fix for this please?
I guess I could attach my iPhone as wi fi hotspot so that it would work but it would be a pain to set up every time and would be pretty slow.
Any help much appreciated!

Load google maps Click on your initial next to the mic icon You'll get a settings menu
You'll see an option for offline maps. You'll need to download maps for areas you need.
That said google maps works best online. I suggest installing an additional navigation app
Igo if you want to pay, herewego if you want an advertiser sponsored map
