I'm not sure if this is in the right sub-forum, so if it's not, please move the thread, mods.
I'm looking into buying one of the new Archos 70 tablets, running Froyo, and I was bummed that it doesn't have a built in GPS. So I was wondering if it was possible to use and external GPS, say through bluetooth, for the Navigation program to use.
Thanks!
look here Bluetooth GPS Receiver

Saw this sorry-lookin' thread over at the "unofficial official" MyGig site- http://mofv.com/mygig/BBS/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2022
So, does anyone own one of these and have the skills to attempt such a port? Looks like the thing runs QNX stock.
I wish someone could, that would be amazing to have an android based touchscreen interface in my jeep.
Android?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I would second this and definitely help beta test any ports...
Damn - this would be nice.
I have one of the radios w/o GPS, would be sweet to get android running and be able to use the GPS and data off my phone.
Has there been any news on this? Or has anyone found an Android based system that would be able to do everything MyGig can - GPS, Sirius radio, etc.?
so sad I would really like this too. I am stuck at stopping point on MYGIG because it won't read from the music directory or can I add any mp3s to , everything else is working tho. hard drive is tested fine....i even copied to a new drive and it still doesn't work
Specifically for the HTC One S, i'm curious how our phones work with it. If you have, please let me know if you are using stock, CM, or any other ROMs. I'm looking to get maybe the pebble (not out yet) or fitbit. Thanks!
I'd like to know this too. Are there any ROMs out yet that enable Bluetooth 4.0 one the HTC One S?
It works from 4.0.3 version with open broadcom ble api which was here recently http_s://code.google.com/p/broadcom-ble but now it's deleted.
It needs a little patch to the library (does not work without). I have done some little tests last year but then put it out.
New rewritten api is here http_s://code.google.com/r/naranjomanuel-opensource-broadcom-ble/ but not tested.
Now I'm making an app to test things. I can connect to TI Keyfob with Keyfob demo firmware and read battery level and tx level and even get notifications when level changes. Have to add some quirks to make it work
And there is a proprietary HTC BLE SDK which you get after NDA. Not sure if it support this phone, but it's based on broadcom api.
As of 4.1.1 version phone can "see" discoverable ble devices in bluetooth settings, but can't do anything from there.
I'm actually looking for other phones with ble supported, chinese maybe. But I guess we should wait for 4.3 to spread around.
MaximusHD. But i dunno really if this works, since i can barely see any difference at all when i was on sense 4+/4.1.1 when it comes to speed on sharing files via bluetooth..
i am on Magio ROM 1.0.4. i want to pair my Heart Rate Monitor. I can see the device, but when i want to pair it, the message is, that the PIN is wrong. Shame...
Does Bluetooth 4.0 depend on the Android version (4.3 or higher) or on the kernel version? From Linux I know that drivers can be included in ther kernel or as separate modules.
Is there any custom ROM with 4.3+ AND Sense?
Edit: My co-worker has CM 11 installed and his Runtastic BT 4.0 HRM belt works fine.
anyone know that fitbit work and sync with one s (maximus hd rom)?
Hi,
It might be a stupid question, but I was wondering if it is possible to build a ROM with a very minimum features. No phone possibilities, no bluetooth, no gps, no sync with anything.... Turn it to a Ipod Touch like in someways...
I could use any ROM without using all these feature, but by removing all the unnecessary, could it be lighter and faster ?
I am asking that, because I have a aging I9000 and I would like to turn it up to a remote control only. I am currently using it for Spotify, my AV Receiver, XBMC, my NAS. So, actually, I just need WIFI, and maybe access to Google Play to install the apps needed, but it could be done by installing the APK directly.
That's it !
Thanks
Hi there. I own an old Gtab 7.7 (P6800) that I use as Satnav/OBD/... tool in my car.
I lived fine with stock 4.0.x until I bought a dashcam that has an app that needs at least Android 4.2
I tried a few ROMS (CM etc. ) in the past but they all had issues - and according to the descriptions they still have.
I need a ROM that has the following working properly: Bluetooth, GPS, WiFi, Mobile Data
Is there ANY rom with 4.2 or above out there that has no issues with any of these? I really would love to keep that device as it is still nice and old enough that it isn't worth stealing so I can keep it in my car no matter where I park
I don't care much about features as I only need to run 4-5 Apps and nothing else
Thx
Hi guys, i'm a little confused and between 2 minds on my joying headunit. I've been running the android 10 unit for quite some time now (https://www.joyingauto.com/joying-9...-android-10-0-car-autoradio-ips-1280x720.html) and generally really like the spec, features and responsiveness. However there seems to be a lot of different ways of using it. And i can't quite decide what would be the 'best' way.
1. I can use the unit natively, by installing the apps like waze, spotify, etc directly to the headunits storage and either fitting a 4G data sim
2. I can use the unit natively, by installing the apps like waze, spotify, etc directly to the headunits storage and using my phone as a wifi hotspot and tethering the internet to it to keep everything running natively.
3. I can use Android Auto and mirror my phones apps to the headunit and use it that way.
Just looking for opinions and discussion around how peope are using there's and why? I use mine in configuration 2 above.
As a side note, i'd love to install a custom rom onto the unit rather than use joying's image but can imaging a 100 things would break and that i'd potentially brick the unit by just attempting it. Even their update process seems to be a blog post that says "Here's some links, if you not sure what to use, email us and we'll advise." But i don't trust that i'd get much support with a bricked or dodgy update. Thouhts?
I do 1 and 3 on mine, but with CarPplay.
Reason being: CarPlay nav is more "on the road friendly" in that the UI is designed to be used while moving.
Native functionality is good when I want the unit to do the stuff while I just BlueTooth sound from a different device.
My one issue is that if I have data turned on and enable CarPlay, my phone uses the head unit as a hotspot which isn't ideal.

I believe you mean FYT UIS7862 based unit. Joying is a made up brand.
3. Pseudo Android Auto- reality is it is a hack that will eventually frustrate as google and phone manufacturer release updates. These units are NOT Android Auto.
Re. Custom ROMs. None exist and are not needed.
