Hi guys, I have an old TV Box Himedia H8 Plus, running on RK3368 and wifi AP6210, I am finding ATV9 for it. Thank you
bro Himedia boxes were really good quality boxes at the time when they were around, now they're all old, your box comes with Android 5.1 not Android 9.0, you'll never find it with Android 9.0, Unless I understood your request incorrectly...!!

Hi, last novermber I bought this unit for my mazda 3 2008 http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Quad-Core-An...system-for-Mazda-3-Rear-Camera-/222315503470? and it was with Android 5.1. Now it comes with Android 7.1. So do you know a way to update my unit to android 7.1?
thanks!!
I took these pictures, maybe they can help. They are attached
Sorry can't help you answer your question ... but I was wondering how you like your unit thus far? I am looking at buying an Android 7.1 version today but only if the reviews are positive
Hi guys. I want to upgrade my Ford Galaxy (2011) to an android head unit. I've noticed that a lot of new octa core, 4gb RAM units running Android 8 are now out. Please could I have some personal opinions on the best of the bunch. I've looked at Pumpkin, Xtrons, Eonon etc.
Secondly, does anyone know if Ford Voice Control would still work? I'm assuming not for music etc but I'm hoping that it would at least for dialing phone numbers handsfree.
Thanks in advance

First off, anything you see that says "8.0".... take that with a grain of salt. The chinese way is to mislabel older things to pretend to be something newer. In fact, I would be seriously shocked if you see something with GENUINE 8.0 from china in less than a couple of years. They are *always* 2 years behind.
Secondly, and the dead giveaway on this, is that Android 8.0+ includes some very car-centric features. The UI on it looks very similar to Android Auto. If you don't see that, then its NOT Android 8.0.
THIRD, there really wasn't much changed in 8.1 over 8.0. Nothing that would make building it any more complicated than running a repo sync followed immediately by a make. There is nobody in the entire world who is going to be using 8.0.
Want to try something really fun?

REAL Android 8.1-ish (actually from the master branch, which is somewhere between 8.1 and "P") in your car.
look around on youtube to see what others have done. i have installed a new 8.0 4gb/32gb in my ford kuga (escape) and also installed mtcd dialler for voice dialing and it works fine. the steering wheel controls works too. all good
Can u tell me brand and model?
Thanks
Hello,
I saw that in Chinese online markets are available car auto heads with Android 10.
The hardware specs are the usual (cpu PX5, 4 gb ram etc), is safe to buy them or we should wait or choose an android 9 radio in order to have stability?
Any way to root them in near future?
I searched online but there are no reviews in youtube for these android 10 units.
Thank you!!
Axl
they must be the coronavirus special edition
you want stability? choose android 8

Once installed in the new car, I would like to keep it for the next 10 years approximately.
I guess that Android 8 will be prehistory in 2030
Before to buy an Android 10 unit, I will wait for the first reviews and (fingers cross!) first root/mod experiments here in xda.

i bet you won't keep the whole car for 10 years, forget the android unit
we will have android automotive by then, hope more OEMs jump on that bandwagon. For now only Volvo will use it this year on the XC40 electric / Polestar 2. Later on, Audi and Fiat/Chrysler will join.

I Purchased the same radio from xtrons but the only issue I'm having so far is trying to hide the system status bar been trying to find a fix but most of them require root which the head unit is not or adb and I have no clue on how to adb into this head unit.
hello guys.
I've ordered a long time ago this android head unit: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/329..._list.0.0.2bc4586aWLTEcq&gatewayAdapt=glo2isr
I have the 2GB + 32GB.
of course, the fake 8.1, and all that crap.
anyway, I've already installed some other firmwares over time .
for now. I have some firmware i've installed from here, 10 android version without HIFI.
my main question is: can I make this device support apple car play? in any way? that works great (really not fine but great, without any lags ).
after many times that I used apple car play in other cars, I just feel that is a very big gadget that I must have!
I've tried to download some "Car play" apps online, but my iphone don't recognize anything..
if someone have some firmware / update or something that works with it ,with any other cool stuffs like DSP/split screen, that will be amazing!
thank you very much!!
Not Android Auto, requested moderator moves to (Android head-units) forum
Hello everybody,
I'm looking for some suggestions on hardware for a little project of mine.
I recently got my hands on a few Dynalink TV Boxes after discovering the great support of LineageOS on them here in the forum. Sadly, after some testing with the hardware I got, they seem to be off the market - out of stock everywhere since new year...
So, I'm looking for an alternative. Preferably in the same price range (30-40 bucks) and form factor and able to be flashed with Lineage or another clean ROM.
FireTV Stick Lite seemed promising, same price and decent performance out of the box. Sadly Amazon locked those very hard lately so there is currently no use for them.
I got a "Q96 Stick" of AliExpress but that thing is shady, lacks of performance and there seems to be no custom roms available soon.
So is there anything you could suggest?
Small, price around 30-40, Custom Rom available (Android 10+) or has clean stock OS, no need to be Android TV. No need for Netflix and other DRM stuff.
The project is a small digital signage, I just need to figure the hardware since the Dynalink boxes seems decommissioned.
PS: Idk if I got the right section of the forum, please be gentle.
Well I can't recommend one in that price range BUT be very careful, there's a huge thread on here about cheap android boxes that have built-in bot nets so be wary. They might even live in the system after flashing idk just be careful getting cheap android boxes

Yea I've heard that and that's why I'm very suspicious about this q96 Stick, stock OS is rooted, adb is active and don't ask for permission on new connections, it lies about it's specs and so on, so there is definitely something baked in deep.
On the Dynalink Box I don't sense a thread and idk I such would survive the flashing?
FireTV would be the best option, but not with the lockdown...

The tv box devices for which there are lineage builds are listed in the lineage thread. Most of those devices are dated, eol, or discontinued.
Why is lineage support important for your digital signage project? There are other similar S905Y2 and S905Y4 certified tv box devices that can be bootloader unlocked and rooted, but there are not lineage builds for these devices. Is root not enough? Your digital signage project also requires lineage?

No, Lineage is not required, a clean OS is. It has not to be Lineage. It would be a "nice to have".
If the stock one is clean or can be cleaned I'll be happy.
Clean is maybe the wrong term, more like trustable and somewhat up to date.
Root is also not required but would be nice.
What boxes are you talking about?

The way to get a clean build is to stay away from the generic boxes that have hobbled together mobile builds, and instead choose a certified device. In the tv box world, this means a device for which the ultimate oem is one of a few chinese manufacturers; sei, askey, or sdmc.
The nebula 4k streaming dongle (amazon B098BFDB41) has the same specs as the dynalink, but it is 49.99 US. It also uses the s905y2, which is on its way out. The nebula device runs android 10 and is made by sdmc.
The homatics lite 4k (amazon B0BNL1YS7V) has a s905y4 and 16gb storage, but it is 59.99 US. This device runs android 11 and is made by sei. In some ways the s905y4 is not quite as powerful as the s905y2 that it replaces, but the y4 does support av1.
The hako mini (amazon B0BFW3MMKJ) is the sdmc version of the homatics device. It is also 59.99 US.
The above devices often go on sale on amazon.
Okay that's a guideline.
If the SoC are on their way out that could mean there might be a successor for it and therefore for the Dynalink box (wich is made by Askey)
So I'll be patient and look at upcoming devices and also wait for an update on the locked FireTVs.
I still wonder, and don't meant to be rude or offensive, the marked is flooded with those cheap Allwinner based boxes and sticks but there is rarely an interest in this community on them? Why is that? Sure they're probably spiced with malware and what not but the hardware is cheap and available.
I don't know. I think the allwinner 616 is a junky cpu. Some of the others might be better. They aren't all that cheap.
Someone got most of the malware out of the 616 based t95. https://github.com/DesktopECHO/T95-H616-Malware

Yea I looked into that and was already monitoring the stick I got - nothing weird so far, at least on the network.
But still weird behavior with ADB and the fact it came rooted. Also spoofed specs like ram and storage.
