Dear all,
finally, I got them...
I was able to install play store on mine.
First, needs root. The only one I found that worked was Baidu Root here.
http://root.baidu.com/
Once it's rooted, I installed Super SU
http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu
After Super SU, install Root Browser
http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree
After Root Browser is installed, download CM9 Gapps to your pc.
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
Unzip the zip file, and copy GoogleServicesFramework.apk and Phonesky.apk to the device.
edit: also copy GoogleLoginService.apk
Open Root Browser, and copy GoogleServicesFramework.apk and Phonesky.apk from wherever you copied it to /system/app. You cannot just install the play store APK's normally, they must be copied to /system/app. Change permissions to match other apps. Shut down device and restart. Play store should be in app drawer now. After running, it should auto update to latest play store version.
Overall, pretty good. Still some apps show as incompatible (such as chrome, sadly), but light years ahead of the BT100's play store compatibility. Plus I can always backup and side-load apps from my phone for any that show as incompatible on BT200. Quickpic works fine, diceplayer works fine. Great for some SMB movie streaming from my file server. Touchpad input is annoying as hell to use. If you stroke the very very edge of the touch-pad, it works as single line scroll. May be able to remap these later to back or home buttons, but then again if I use an external BT keyboard I'm afraid it might remap the cursor keys too. The visor lens is a little tricky to remove, you don't unscrew it, you pull it outward (if you were wearing the device, pull away from your eyes) by 2mm until it clicks then pull downward.
I don't know if you noticed, I don't see it in your pics, I have a clear visor lens included in the pocket here.
Also, the moverio camera quality absolutely blows.
alcuin,
first of all thenks for your suggests, I will add them in the main post. Yes... on my package I missed the clear visor lens you speak about. Could I have a picture of that accessory? I would contact Epson to get it back.
For the Software Development Kit, developers can work with the Wikitude SDK, a stand-alone (really priced sincerely, €2,499) package optimized for the BT-200.
It is possible to download a trial version of the Wikitude SDK (last update 3.2.2 - (24.02.2014)) after the registration from here: http://www.wikitude.com/download
It's a maintenance release as reported by the log: http://www.wikitude.com/developer/news/-/blogs/maintenance-update-wikitude-sdk-3-2-1
and I have some dubts if it is the same version of the commercial one as really outdated.
The Epson Moverio Documentation: http://www.wikitude.com/developer/documentation/epson
The Developers Forum, but without a specific area for our wearable glasses: http://www.wikitude.com/developer/developer-forum
Will post the lens pic, I keep forgetting when I go home from work, sorry about that

alcuin, don't worry. I should get my glass within that week as my dad sent it before to snap the pictures (I am working outside my hometown).
Here it is finally. I was wrong though, it's not a clear lens that's included; it's a darker lens, and one insert for using prescription lenses. If you want clear, just take off all the lenses.

Dear babyfish0226,
I did a review but it is en Italian language... now I rooted the glass and I have installed the Google Play and some apps just for testing. Sincerely I am not happy for that and I guess the Google Glass will outshine it quickly as the target is not the casual user than the professional. It isn't wearable for the "brick" you have to pick with you and the result of the projection is far from my old Sony HUD (HMZ-T2).
I have to play it more, I have to look into the core apps for more details but as Prelaunch product is really premature.
installing apk
Dear seniormember,
I purchased the Moverio BT200, but do not manage to install any apk files. For example, i tried tot install de astro filemager apk
Do you have any suggestions?

Dear Barend,
for the installation of extenal files, you have to enable the option for the untrusted sources. You are able to install APK without the root rights.

usb debugging
Hello Sev7en,
thanks for the help. I manged to install App-installer.
Yet I have an other question.
Normally in Settings, options fo developers, one can enable Usb-debugging. But in the Moverio there is no such option.
Do I miss something?

Has anyone tethered to an iPhone successfully?
I just unpacked my BT200 this weekend and ran through the forums and managed to get the google play store and root access.
I am trying to tether my BT200 to my iPhone 5's personal hotspot. When I try via bluetooth, it reboots. If I try it again, it will show connected and the "use this device for internet" will be checked -- but I don't seem to have any connectivity. I don't see any network stats and none of my apps see a network connection.
If I try to use the iPhone's wifi, it will detect it at excellent strength, but once I try to connect, it reports the strength and poor and cycled connecting, disconnecting, and connecting over and over again until I forget the network or use another wifi.
Otherwise, I am able to connect to wifi. And I have tested the iPhone hotspot (bluetooth and wifi) with another android device. So I know that it works.
Has anyone else been able to tether to an iPhone?

Hi Sev7en,
Thanks for your help again, but unfortunately it did not work.
The buildnr on the Moverio is R1.0.0 and when i tap ten times on it, no Usb debugging appears.
Do You have any other suggestions?
greetings
Barend
Google Playstore
To get google play, I followed mostly the directions from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52652576&postcount=3
First: install the amazon app store and get winzip
http://www.amazon.com/mobile-apps/b?node=2350149011
You can install the amazon app store and get apps from there immediately without anything special. From there I installed winzip, which you will need later.
Second: root your phone.
Google for Baidu 2001 apk
(http://www13.zippyshare.com/v/62451397/file.html)
This program will unlock your ability to use root access on the phone. It is in Chinese, so just press the obvious blue button. If it turns green, you are good.
Third: Install and run SuperSU
Goodle supersu apk
(http://www.appsapk.com/supersu/)
This program allows programs to request root access (which you unlocked with Baidu) and to use it. So you will need this to access your system files.
Fourth: Install a Root File Browser
Google jrummy browserfree.apk
(http://storage.evozi.com/apk/dl/14/05/12/com.jrummy.root.browserfree.apk?vc=223)
This is a file browser that knows how to use SuperSU, so when you try to copy files into your /system/apps folder, it can get root permissions and do this.
Fifth: Download the google play package and unzip
Download: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
This is the proprietary google android stuff that Moverio didn't include. (see more details at http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps)
Use the winzip to unzip this file into your downloads folder.
Now use the JRummy Browser free to copy the following files from:
your_download/system/app/GoogleLoginService.apk
your_download/system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk
your_download/system/app/Phonesky.apk
to /system/app/
Sixth: reboot
When you go to the shop link, you should now see the google play store.
Thanks Lacodemonkey,
I will try it.

I have no USB Debugging Mode, too. And I can't activate it with the tapping trick.
Is there another possiblity to activate the USB Debugging option?
PS: I already contacted Epson but i didn't receive any answer yet.
This thread is dedicated to discussion, research and mods for the JAX SLX7786 Head Unit range.
What is it?
The JAX SLX7786 is a series of touchscreen Android 4.4 head unit. The most common size reported is 10.1", although 9" models have been seen in the wild.
The common characteristics of these head units are:
Specifications
OS Android 4.4.4
CPU RK3188 series (PX3)
Cores 4 cores
MHz 1.6GHz
RAM series DDR3
RAM capacity 1G
ROM series iNand Flash
ROM capacity 16G
Double SD card/MuIti-Media Maximum capacity: 64G
Screen Size Different Car DVD model different size (Edit: this particular one is 10.2")
Screen Resolution 1024*600
Screen Panel CTP (Capacity Touch Panel)
GPS module GPS/Beidou
WIFI Built-in(IEEE 802.1 lb/g/n)
3G Unicom/Telecom/Moblie(Adapter)
USB(Port) 3 pieces USB2.0(Extensible)
SD card slot 2 pieces
Moblie HD Support FAT/NTFS
Who makes them?
Good question. As far as I can gather it's a similar arrangement to the MTCB units; a number of manufacturers sell the unit based off of a central reference design. Who makes the reference design, and therefore who holds the kernel source, I do not know.
How can I get one?
The main place I have seen these for sale has been Aliexpress; most of the 10.1" units on the market seem to be this particular unit/ROM. The only other 10.1" units on the market (as far as I'm aware) are Joying units and pretty clearly marked as such.
The only surefire way to make sure it is a SLX7786 unit is to get the seller to send you a photo or screenshot of the build number under the System -> About page and check whether it matches the build mentioned below.
I think I already have one. How can I tell?
The easiest way to tell is looking at the System -> About page on the unit. If your build number contains the following then you have a SLX7786 unit:
{
"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"
}
JAX or 885 as first three characters, and
Contains WQ-16EN
The full details of the build number are as follows:
[VENDOR]-[YY][MM][DD][HH][MM][0G]-WQ-16EN-[CARMAKE]
Where:
[VENDOR] = JAX or 885. Unsure why this changes from unit to unit, assuming different vendors.
[YY] = Build year, [MM] = build month and so on.
[0G] = String may or may not appear depending on model
[WQ] = Assuming this is OEM, like KLD and JY is for MTCB units
[16] = Not sure
[EN] = English ROM
[CARMAKE] = M6 for Mazda 6, ACCORD8 for Honda Accord, etc
How can I help XDA development?
Ask the seller for the most recent update, citing the bugs listed below. Share link with me via PM, or upload to Google Drive and PM me the link.
Do a full backup with Partitions Backup (excluding /user and /userdata), upload to Google Drive and PM me the link.

Dear kylemd,
Is it possible to change the existing default music player with new music player and default Home screen with new Home screen ?
Because, Music Player looks very old and the home screen looks laggy.

Music player: Yes, although you can't use steering wheel controls to skip tracks. I'm using Poweramp.
Home screen: yes, just install another launcher and it will ask you if you want to change launchers the first time you press home. Select the one you downloaded and click "always". Personally I'm using Car Launcher Pro and it works fantastic (and has on screen music controls) although it's a paid app. See the picture of my setup for a preview.
Hey i would like to add some technical issues i have with this rom.
1.)I like to confirm that you can not use the back and forward track buttons on other apps than the stock app provided.
2.) Under the car settings jax menu, entering the password 1234 grants you access to additional features. My gain controls in these menu do nothing. Bluetooth source isn't any louder, aux etc when adjusted.
3.)Was not able to change the default music app with a skin version or anything. (tried to remove via root, the installed a musicskin.apk in the system folder.
4.) Steering wheel controls is buggy, had to fiddle with it on different days until all the buttons are map, then no problem
5.)Viper4Android does not work with the stock apps (radio,bt, music, video). Works on some apps when i first installed it, reinstall doesn't work on some. Buggy
1.) Was able to root with KingRoot.

Hi bro,
I have solution for Audio output issue...
Today I found the solution, so no need to root anything.
While Mapping the steering controls., don't map -Vol.
Now my Audio output is same as my Original Car stereo.

This Launcher looks cool, I will try it today. If you know more launchers then let me know.
Also if you know any app which shows both Audio & Video playlist in same app.

Your build seems a lot newer than the ones I have. Would you be able to back them up using Partitions Backup and send them to me? Google Drive links are probably the best.
EDIT - Don't worry about /user and /userdata partitions as this is your own data and not part of the ROM. Sorry, should have mentioned this before :cyclops:

Just a small update...
I've managed to extract my stock ROM from my unit using the Partition Backup tool by Wanam listed in the OP. I plan on uploading the dump, as well as the two other firmwares collected to date, to AndroidFileHost as soon as I get developer status approved there.
Also I have added some tools to extract the firmware to post #2. The Rockchip drivers are fairly useless at the moment as we don't know how to connect to ADB, Fastboot or U-Boot (the bootloader), but the RK3xxx tools are what I'm using to work these ROMs. Again, as you need to be a member at 4PDA to download these (which is a pain to obtain) I will upload them to AndroidFileHost at the same time.
At some point this weekend I'll be doing a 3-way diff on the firmware we have so far to assess whether they are homogenous, i.e. can be flashed to any unit. I have a feeling they are, other than the apks in /system/app.
If it is indeed the case I'll release a modded ROM with SuperSU and (hopefully) Xposed and Viper4Android preinstalled to kick us off with custom ROMs. My endgame here is to have a source built kernel and have the device booting CM13, but as I know 9/10 of sweet f*** all about programming in Java or building from source I'm hoping somebody with dev knowledge will be able to assist.
If not, I'd be willing to kick off a bounty to get a unit for a dev who knows what they are doing so we can get some up-to-date firmware on here.
Also I've noticed that @AbduL_PT may be able to port TWRP to the device; he has already ported it to a number of other RK3188 devices so he may be able to do this one. @AbduL_PT if you're still around give us a yell
Let me know what you guys think.
For those of you that are considering purchasing one of these units, they are now AU$363 (15%) off on Aliexpress from this particular seller for 11/11 day. If you're in Australia you can also use CashRewards for another 11.11% off.
Just bought another one for my partners' Mazda 6. Yes, our family has two Mazda 6s :laugh: mine is the Mazdaspeed6/Mazda 6 MPS though.

Kyle you are the man! Keep up the good work! :good::good::good::good::good:
I gotta read into backup the rom but then i can do it no problem.
I would like to note that i bought my unit a few weeks ago.
Also, i can listen to music while the gps app is open. Sygic, and iGo maps is what i used.
For those of you playing at home, I didn't realise that Xposed pre-Lollipop didn't require a flashable zip to install, as I only got into it with Marshmallow. Xposed installs fine on the unit with the installer from rovo's page.
I did play around with GravityBox [KK] shortly today, doesn't look like I can make the soft keys appear as I'd like though :crying: (as mine is installed in a RHD car the buttons are on the wrong side). Quite a lot of things actually do work though so it is running OK.

Thanks mate
I also bought my unit not that long ago - 23/10/2016 actually. Given my car is a little bit older maybe mine is old stock as they're not moving them as quick.
Updated third OP post with information on system.img.
The findings on this mean I can cook a custom ROM and anybody can flash it, provided they back up their /system/app folder before installing and restore it afterwards.
Hi,
Small update..!!
I tried to access seller's files.
But I'm not sure the file which are uploaded in the month November belongs to JAX SLX7786 or not.

Now I'm downloading "4.4 885 B版 20161110.rar" firmware from the above highlighted link, I will update you guys about this firmware after installation.
UPDATE : The above firmware "4.4 885 B版 20161110.rar" has same GUI as I posted the below image, but this firmware is just a crap for my Honda Accord. Because I can see only Home Screen, nothing is responsive, it looks like Hang. I have tried to restart the Unit, but still nothing is working
This Firmware has different launcher, it includes Music player within the Home Screen. Also the music player is different.

Please look closely at the Home Screen

You are a legend thanks!
I can see at least three packages there that are for the SLX7786 - 安卓4.4老马六专用软件.rar (which is for the Mazda "Horse" 6, my car), and all the ones for the Accords, which are for yours. The others I'm not sure of, I'll have to crack them open and have a look.
In case anybody else is planning on downloading these, you can download from Baidu without having an account by using this Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey script. I haven't been able to get our device added to AndroidFileHost yet, so I'll be uploading the files as soon as I do.
EDIT - After some poking around I think I've stumbled across a repository for these units. Most of the units are designatured 7706, not 7786. Even more interestingly, there seems to be some files marked with a "STM8" designation, as well as a project file. Looking it up, the STM8 is a microcontroller that can be programmed for MCU use. We might have MCU source here, but I'm not sure. Somebody better versed in microcontrollers would be able to tell.
I also found a file with an update for the ix35 which might help the Russians I linked in the previous thread.

Hi Kylemd,
Any update for the firmware which you have downloaded ?
Does it works with you ?
Hi All,
I got a used head unit which is I think an FF-5000 (maybe Xonrich brand?).
* Which is the newest firmware/MCU for this unit?
* Is there any option to replace the factory apps (radio, music player, dsp controller app) to better looking ones?
* I cannot customize the home screen widgtes. Is there any trick for this? I would like to replace the apps shortcuts on the home screen.
* Screen is too bright in night mode however I have already changed it to the minimum.
* This device is able to show canbus info on the screen for example, door status, outdoor temp etc... Is that possible to edit canbus config to show AC status as well?

Hi, just use FCC launcher instead of regular one, it has many settings and nice interface. In hidden menu (code 8888) you can change what icons to appear, including AC climate if that option is available, and has other options tweeks for anything, just combine. It won't do any harm to device.
Here is a pic of mine tweeked with FCC launcher :
I have another question regarding ALPS FF5000 - 8227L demo software
If any of you are having problems with radio antenna , I mean the radio signal is to low and sometimes when rainy some radio stations are out of range or with noise or losing signal (AF retunes non stop). What to do to fix that or to amplify signal, now is rather somewhat at low level. Tried with bought radio amplifier but signal is improved by a little. Also tried in advanced settings with RADIO / FM sense bar is up to 40 and no changes in signal. RADIO SETTINGS :
ICC 5
RADIO AREA: EUROPE
FM SENSE 40
AF tune ON
OSC : 4M-12M
I have an infotainment 8227L (FF-5000) based on Android 9 (the number on the start screen).
Screen About Device:
But (maybe after installing an app) the APKs can no longer be installed.
Error: "Error when analyzing the package"
I tried with configurations, I tried with factory reset, I tried with an update from the 8227l-8.bin and 8227l-8.upd files in a usb stick.
But nothing, I can't solve.
Can you help me?
Thank you
For bhudcser:
Hello.
I've encountered the same problem:
Even adjusting the brightness to a minimum is annoying and dangerous for night driving.
There is no possibility to adjust it software.
The brightness depends on the voltage to which the monitor is subjected, which is higher than that of the battery. A good adjustment is achieved with a range of 14 - 19V. Unfortunately their voltage booster (regulated by a square wave that comes microcontroller) is gross.
I tried to change a resistance of the booster regulation, but the results were very unsatisfactory.
Therefore I made an external electronic card and designed a buster. Now I adjust the brightness with the knob optimally. In addition, I have provided a photoresistance placed inside the passenger compartment, which varies the brightness also according to the lighting conditions automatically (for example when I enter or leave a gallery).
Knob Photo resistance
I also intervened on the backlight of the side keys (excessive too...)
I'm sorry to give you this bad news,
but unfortunately nothing can be done by acting on the original configurations.

Hi.
II searched for the solution on the Internet for hours, but nothing.
Since the device does not have an option entry to enable unknown apps, I installed the "Hidden settings" app from the play store and looked for the option.
Finally I found it, but unfortunately it is fixed on "disabled" and does not allow you to change it.
Maybe there is a block created by some previously launched app that has performed operations allowed in root,
maybe I should root the device,
maybe there is a need for some sort of reformatting that only the manufacturer can do....
Unfortunately I can not even resign myself to install only from the play store, because some applications I have only as APK (example that of my dashcam).
I find myself an unusable infotainment!
I don't know what to do anymore...
did you try this?
click on the gear where it says HMI: and put in 8888 as the password,
go to OTHER
find INSTALL and set it to enable
find PROTECTION and set it to DISABLE
Hello.
Thank you for the information.
I did as you indicated, in fact the INSTALL option is disabled.
Unfortunately when I try to activate it, it requires a password!
Is this a known password? Does anyone know it?
Thank you

Hi, you have google voice commands just like in any android, just install search bar with microphone icon and try it
In my FF-5000 8227L device google voice command requires an online link.
I would need to give commands even where there is no telephone network coverage

If your device has wifi connection just connect to internet or just make your mobile phone as main network by creating a hotspot and connect headunit thru it.
My ff-5000 8227L owns 16Gb ROM (... flash) and 2Gb of RAM is mounted in a Jeep.
I often travel into narrow valleys and gorges where there is no internet signal coverage. So I need an app that allows OFFLINE voice commands.

Maybe sattelite connections ? It works with tv tuner usb card bought from ali express, In general this is not tested with headunits yet but it involves a small radio dish antenna and usb port in device (sattelite connections also uses radio frequencies similar to broadband routers/wifi), but I must say it is expensive and complicated.
Following this story you can download a program : https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/saiy-ltd/saiy-assistant/ and use this SAIY app or just use GOOGLE ASSISTANT !
I appreciate every idea ,
but I would avoid complicated and expensive solutions.
When I bought the car there was inserted as standard a navigator + mp3 player that accepted voice commands in different languages, all OFFLINE.
The management of the navigator maps was difficult, rudimentary and with paid updates, with a closed operating system.
I replaced it with the FF-5000 getting an Android system and the ability to load and update apps and maps at will, surf the net and more...
Unfortunately I thought I could use voice commands by simply loading an app, but it seems not so!
It seems almost impossible to me that there is no app for basic, simple,
TOTALLY OFFLINE
voice commands such as:
"Browse to location X",
"Call Mary",
or "Play the music track Y"...

Hi Guys!
My new android head unit has a very ugly and poor designed software for using while driving, so I'm already thinking about trying a custom firmware or return it and be back to my stereo + cellphone + BT.
Maybe if I list my issues if you can tell me if a custom rom can solve my problems.
If I can't solve it, maybe it can be useful for developers.
1- Sound switching: Some apps like the FM radio do not pause when another app try to use the audio output, so if a want to run, for example, the Deezer, I have to stop the radio first and only after that I can play the music. (could not find another good radio app)
It is not only annoying, but it is kinda dangerous to look soo much to the screen while driving. In the ideal scenario, when I choose the source using the steering wheel control, the chosen app will play in it last state (the music play keep playing the last song, the radio play the last station etc).
2- Automation: For example, in my original stereo, if I remove the USB stick while playing it will go back to the radio or bluetooth and keep playing music. And if I insert it again, it will detect that is the same USB stick and start to play from the same music again.
3- Steering wheel button mapping: Some apps (mostly the radio again) do not respond to the same logic as the others softwares, so, if I press the pause button, mostly apps will stop/pause playing, but the radio will try to find the next station.
Another problem is that the unit wheel software do not map long pressing the keys, so the numbers of commands are very limited.
4- Fast and accurate volume control: That problem is addressed by the Agama launcher using a gesture on the central ring on the main screen and it works very well, almost like a physical button. But again I could not use the Agama as my solution cause I cannot use the steering wheel control to change the source. In the Agama, If I press the source button to go the bluetooth receiver or the radio, it will stay on the app screen and I have to press the home button to have the main screen again.
If you made it until here, LOL, I think it may work something like this:
- You could choose the main apps to be selected by the source button (kinda like it is now, but you can choose how many sources you have).
- In the SWC (steering wheel control) some buttons would be global and others could be send to the application on the source "slot". Long pressing mapping too.
- Some commands of the SWC could change depending on the chosen source, so it can be more useful in different apps.
- Automation: if you are stopped, you can use the apps and the screen as a normal tablet, but if you reach a chosen speed, the unit will go to the home screen and the apps will run in second plane, unless it is in the list of apps that can stay on the main screen while moving (custom).
- Widgets to control radio and music apps could share the same area on main screen and will be show depending on the source choose.
- When moving, the main screen could priorize gestures to control main functions like volume and screen brightness or turn screen off. The gesture priority could stay on until the first single touch gesture. If you are stopped, the first single touch will enable the "tablet mode" again to permit full use of the unit. The gesture priority would be back as soon you reach the set speed again.
Hope it can be useful. =)
Better you return it. ;-)

Sorry, I did read the rules, but when I was trying other launchers, the unit stopped to show the screen after the google logo.
At the time I started to write that giant message I was waiting to the seller to send me the recovery files/procedures, so I would be able look at the MCU model and put it in the specific forum. Happen that he did not sent it yet and I could do it. =)
If I can use your patience for one last question before the weekend, can I run those ROMs in virtual machines to see how they work? I do not have much time to decide to return it, so I'm trying to make the best use of this time.
It is 2-din 9 inches generic capacitive buttons unit with automatic Android Auto and Carplay. (2g+32g 4 cores uis8141 CPU). It has a very good screen, it is very fluida and looks amazing in the car. My main problem it is not drive friendly.
I'm not that laze guy. I did watch and read tons of reviews in forums before decide to buy and honestly, I was not expecting to looking for a custom rom so soon, cause nobody tells how it is not drive friendly. To me, I would only change the launcher for a better looking one.
Another option would be keeping it as a learn lesson and join the development group to try yo make my own mods.
Thank you for any extra help!

There is unfortunately no single custom ROM for these UIS8141.
There are 2-3 other threads talking about these units, but that´s it. Just search in this forum for UIS8141.
By the way... Even if you find any other firmware for these units, I would not recommend to use it. You need to give the Chinese guys at least some time to answer. They start working at least 6hrs earlier (for Europe) and leave work 4-6 hrs earlier than we do.
Wait until Monday and send a reminder early in the morning, that your unit has stopped working.

Thank you! They send me file to reload the firmware using an USB stick and it is working again.
I was think all those Chinese tablet style units had similar software, like the cellphones works, but the Android is very modified. Next time I will try to buy one with a more popular CPU and firmware.
I do realize if I use the original launcher and apps and change only the standard navigation app it works fine, with a very limited interface in terms of customization and information, but works.
The most interesting part (in a bad way) is the system does not allow android widgets to work, so any launcher like Vivid that uses widgets to do custom screens are useless.
I also kinda make it work using the Agama launcher and the NavRadio to control the radio but still a not so fluid experience. The original is "better".
Thank you anyway, you did help a lot.

It is a good tip. I'm not having problem to talk to the Chineses on AliExpress. They just answer only on question per day. LOL
Since this seller in specific sells a lot of these units, I was expecting a better custom service, but it is very crude. No site, no online detailed user manuals... they did send me a very poor quality video on youtube to show how to force the USB upgrade. The seller store is LEHX.
Thank you for the help!

Same problem with other sellers. The Chinese support is very weak and they don't know much about the devices they are selling. Especially if the question is not standard you often get no valuable answer.

You may try Fcc Car Launcher. This is a widget based launcher and works with a lot of different CPU combination.
By the way:
Exactly this is the reason I buy from Klyde.
I can get in contact with Klyde via WeChat and if I have something special, I have a direct connection to the developer and get information or new firmware within 1-2 days.
I don´t buy this kind of things on AliExpress. I never did that and I won´t do that at all. Cheap small things for some bucks... okay, but nothing over $100.

Me too. I think was the first time I bough something over $50 on Aliexpress. Here in Brazil, if you buy anything under $50 for personal use you do not need to pay import fees.
About the Fcc Car Launcher, I did realize the unit are not allowing widgets from any source to be installed, so none of those nice Launchers work as intended.
But it is getting better. The radio integration is better using the NavRadio app from here and now I'm trying to work around the widget problem.
Found some users here that are unlocking the widgets installation on the Amazon Fire Tablet using the ADB and the config files looks identical to mine. If I can find a USB drive that works, maybe I can make the widigets work and make it look a little better.
After the initial frustration, I'm kinda enjoying tinkering with it. Still not sure if I will install it cause I'm very serious about security while driving.
Thank you again. Regards!
By the way, the only reason I'm insisting on it is cause I think it fits very well on my car (a mk2 Ford Focus) and since it has native Carplay, maybe it will be not so bad to use. We will see...

So I got this thing from Amazon there's like 300 bucks on sale so it's worth a little bit more than that which from my experience with previous PX3 px5 systems usually if you spend a little bit more you get a better quality product. But this one doesn't seem to be an mtcb or an MTC I can't really figure out which head unit it is. It says it came with Android 12 and a octa core processor. Also says it has 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. It looks very similar to my old dasaita hu. It says the processor is a b200 and I've never even heard of that although it said it came within AC8*** processor here's a screenshot of the setting screen if you guys could help me identify so I can find a custom rom and get some information on what I can do with this thing that would be cool. Thank you.

Hence providing the search terms in addition to answering your question which was so graciously gratified. I could have remarked without remiss for a post in the wrong forum, including a software development forum for what might be considered a request for others to do leg work
You really don't want a custom rom and they do not exist. Even the MTCD hacks are just modded factory ROMS which largely fix problems.
Suggest relegating the STM32 to experience and replacing with an UIS7862 FYT based unit. Don't take it personally, the forum is littered with posts from those that buy first and then read the forums second to resolve issues or determine what would have been better. Could also be an opportunity to start a new thread in the correct (Android head-units) forum and start (limited) development for this odd ball.
Not (MTCD) requested moderator move to (Android head-units) forum
Yeah you make a really good point. I didn't think it was going to be that hard to find information on this thing. It'd be cool to have a modded ROM for this particular device as it's not necessarily slow. It just needs some love a little fine-tuning and probably a smack across the face. Haha. Yeah I may look into just selling it and getting another one. Thanks for your input I appreciate it

It looks like I just fell into the same hole! Very similar firmware - STM32 - 20220607-11-BD3-57 but mine also says it's a B100 4 core 32gb/2gb and is running android 12 (supposedly - can't be sure based on others comments of the os/cpu, etc. being faked!) - Only just fitted a few days ago and it's working ok with the navigation software included / plexamp / reversing camera. I'm not too worried about customising the rom in this case but the issues I've had so far:
Google apps all run VERY slow - google maps virtually unuseable, play store is terribly slow to download anything.
Bluetooth to ODB2 adapter won't connect no matter how I try
Can't change the start logo as with other models
Under the Factory settings menu you can log on with code 8888 OR 6666 - using 6666 there is an extra menu item of 'Settings Item Hiding' - I'm guessing that maybe further options for setting up ODB2 might be hidden in there but I can't figure out what the code might be!!

Yeah I've been using Aurora store instead of the Google Play store and I found it more than adequate. I stopped using the play store whenever I could. Plus because it's a stereo other people can get into your car or borrow it I don't like being signed into a Gmail account or any sort of personal data being left on there so what I did is kind of a hybrid method. I use Aurora store for all my Google Play needs I just don't sign into Google Play or Gmail or anything and then I use an account that I made just for my car to like get notifications or at the very least be able to sign into things with Google like Spotify and still be able to have like a playlist personalized and all that but not leave any of my personal account data at risk.
But yeah Google Play store Google maps all of its completely unreliable and unusual so I just went in and disabled Google Play store and I'm probably just going to disable Google Play services as well because it's ****ing useless. Unless one of the other frameworks like a minified open source version or implementation of GSF you know just me better success I'm not really sure what else to do. Switching to another browser will help for your browsing needs so instead of chrome I haven't checked to see if chromium is available for Android but I know Firefox works great so I may switch to that. I'm still in the process of setting mine up. I think when I get some down time later on tonight I'm going to actually try and pull apart the wrong and see what kind of fixes or tweaks I can apply to it. Who knows maybe I can at least get the ball rolling on some sort of development for it and then some of the old hands can come in here then show us how it's done. Maybe if somebody show some actual effort into making these particular units worth modifying as far as their software goes other people will start doing it cuz the processor itself shows promise and it's definitely not slow. I mean in any benchmark that I've seen the AC8257 is ranked in like the top three I guess a lot of the rockchips soc.
And yeah I just actually got into that menu earlier and it doesn't open up much it does give you some engineering tools to modify the camera and the radio a bit. I mean other than it being slow for Google services and not being able to change the default launcher very well or customize how it looks I mean it's doing its job it's just in some aspects it's lacking. I'm hoping I can change that so I don't have to go just flat out by another head unit.
