[Q] Porting Android to the Chrysler MyGig? - General Questions and Answers

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

[Q] Has anyone tried Android x86 for a desktop pc?

I was wondering if anyone has tried the x86 android 1.6 port on their pc. Also, can we expect to see further development for this? Like custom ROMs, themes, and an online market of some sort? It seems awesome.
I don't know anything about but I'd like to hear about this too...
I've been able to get the froyo version to boot through Virtual PC just fine. The only problem I was having is the lag from manipulating the screens with my mouse or even anything that may require hardware acceleration. Its a great step in the right direction.. but at this time its only something to play with.

I tested it a couple of times, but it's ment for subnetbooks, not PC.
But if I'd find people interested to create a PC-Distro, I'm there...
I didn't even know they made one! o: Could someone link me towards the right information
There's some YouTube videos and stuff on it, it's pretty neat!

CM7 and HP touchpad

Ok so I followed theses steps on you tube for dual booting CM7 and Webos and seems to be installed ok but when it reboots it goes straight into Webos and doesnt bring up the boot screen so you can pick whether u want Webos or CM7 has anyone else tried this with success and if so what could I be doing wrong? here's a copy of the YouTube video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHoQM3KW1sU&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Sounds like you didn't install moboot
Here is the main page for CM7 there is a lot of troubleshooting steps here, you should probably just do it over using the instructions here, they were flawless.
Rootzwiki
Yep, I've put CM7 on mine and my G/F's TP...no issues.
Put three zips in a folder (CM7, Moboot and Clockwork Recovery)
Boot into USB mode, run the nova command.
It's simple as pie...I think you just missed that file/folder for moboot as said.
I just installed the Alpha2 version of CM7, using the youtube "idiots guide to CM7 install" or something like that. Had to search around for the zip files needed but it works almost flawlessly. By that I mean, it's responsive, looks like android, sort of, and doesn't seem to crash much. I know I have alot to learn about this exact "flavor" of Android, but it should be fun. And my webos is still intact.
here is the youtube link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHoQM3KW1sU&feature=feedwll&list=WL
OK, I've had a couple of days with this now, the only complaint/problem is the wifi connection doesn't seem to be as stable as the HP Webos side. I don't know what might be the specific issue, or what the cure might be, but reconnecting seems easy enough. The keyboard w/assist is awesome.
Adobe flash player says it is incompatible with this platform, any way to fix that?
I have downloaded and installed about 20 normal apps, including some live wallpapers, and they all work well. I am impressed with CM7 as an alternative to Webos
Thank You Cyanogenmod team.

You guys should try the Xron-ified Mod of the CM7 Alpha 3.

Developers and non-developers united to get better bluetooth experience at Android

With some words:
So can anybody tell me either a) why is BT HID so 'rubbish' on Android, ie why is it so rare that anybody seems to have got it to work e.g "Look. It's a massive problem, nobody really knows how to do it. Count yourself lucky that you've got found a GB build where it does work at all. Put the problem down and walk away"; or b) what a solution might be?
I've tried rooting round in builds, until I'm blue in the face but unless the *.so file either has a BT and or an HID in the file name, then I'm in the dark.
qazzi76 ; GregórioAxiaMagno and sergiocabraljr have found various solutions for GB builds I think and I know Samsung seems to have solved the problem. (I've seen videos of the Galaxy Nexus and it worked with no problems on an SII a friend of mine has).
Could it simply be a case of isolating and extracting the magic HID file and putting it into any/all custom roms, or it's a case (for some just to make it harder reason) that the BT files have to be recompiled for each and every build; as GregórioAxiaMagno has kindly pointed out with some of his work.
The holy grail I suppose is a set of files that can be uploaded to any build by apt, that resolve the lack of BT keyboard with every/any build.

:good:
The point here is, as always I say, the bluetooth stack on Android is a issue like call recording. And with this cenario, I think we can join people to help on this thread to post information about mods, replacements, hacking, apps and more. Until we find the optimal solution for the largest number of phones what we can. :fingers-crossed:
All is valid: kernels, modules, CWM, apps, tips, :angel: pray... any way of help.
I will ask for you people to post solutions here, and along of the time I will quote it in the second post of this thread.
Also, I want discuss with you about an optimal solution.
So keep this thread clean and focused only about bluetooth.
No, I and nobody thinks what the bluetooth is the world conquest, I want only use the totally potential of this "old" tecnology.
I know we have other tecnologies like OTG, but this thread must be only about how to deal with bluetooth in our daily use and experiences.
Lets start! :highfive: I have your help?

My Desire's bluetooth allways worked like a charme untill rooting REDUX 1,2
Connecting to any previously known device, or any new once for that matter, did not work.

HID Bluetooth Device FIX for 2.3.5 and 2.3.6!!
Like many of you I was extremely excited to learn that android now supports HID devices and immediately rushed out to purchase a HID-BT Keyboard. Getting home, I fired up the phone and keyboard, entered the 6 digit code to pair them and saw the device connecting and disconnecting in an infinite loop. I was crushed and disappointed.
What went wrong? As stated above this is merely a workaround. But the problem lies somewhere between the kernel and broadcom chipset. This fix will reset your bluetooth pairings. It has been tested on my Samsung Galaxy SII I727 but it should work with any other device.

Congratz... keep going
Looking here:
/data/misc/bluetoothd/<A BLUETOOTH ADDRES>
I was thinking one of this files have a value to set for make an device manually connectable. Like disabling/enabling auto connect. So the market apps to HID devies will work better.
What do you think?
I was messing into the system and looking at this path
system\etc\bluetooth
Inside, we can found some confs, so I was editing and guessing about input.conf.
So I made some mods and I will test today, but if anyone know something more about or want to test, please a hand will be cool xP.

EDIT: yeah nothing changes... haha

[ROM] [Port] [ADT-1] Android TV - TAS5713 [EXPERIMENTAL]

This is my first port so there may be some issues but would love for any help squashing bugs once it gets going. I've built this similarly to how Android TV was ported to the OUYA in this thread.
Similarly I am using the following for this port:
His ADT-1 System dump from this post.
His Android L port to the 2012 Nexus 7 from here.
and last but not least
His CM11 Amp Build from here.
Working
Unknown

Builds
v1 Can be downloaded here
v1.1 Can be downloaded here
Changelog
v1 Initial Release
V1.1 Hopefully fixed bootloop issue, see commits
Installation
* Install CM11 first as per here
* Boot into recovery, install downloaded zip, wipe all, reboot
* Wait
* Enjoy
I haven't had a chance to install it yet, so it's very alpha right now but feel free to contribute to the repo.
As always only you are responsible for your device.
Just to let you know: you're not alone in this. I'll try to get this working in my free time as well.
Very excited for this. will install soon and give feedback. I'm not a developer but very experienced and own a nexus Q myself.
Thanks a lot for working on this.
I just saw this thread. Thanks for working on this. What's working/not working so far?
Has anyone flashed this yet? I want to try, but I won't be back home until next week. Just curious if anyone has had any success?
I've installed this just now ... unfortunately it doesn't look like its going to boot.
Followed all instructions ... bootscreen is moving but no load after 20 mins.
EDIT:
It did not boot and I am not sure why at this time.

Hopefully there will be some kind of fix. Nexus Q is the dream AndroidTV.
Still no progress past the boot animation sadly - even with the updated build. Does it matter which audio output version of CM11 you have flashed first? (edit: tried several & no joy)
Also, I tried to take a logcat to see if I could indentify where it was getting stuck during the boot proccess but sadly it would not let me as it is showing as "offline" which suggests that Android has actually booted and is therefore requiring an RSA key but has not made it as far as displaying any kind of interface.
Thanks for starting to work on this anyway. I would love to get Android TV working on this device.
I think I may know what the issue is with this. For the Ouya, using a 5.0 build for the N7 2012 made sense because they both use the Tegra 3. However the Nexus Q does not use the Tegra 3, internally it is almost exactly the same as the Galaxy Nexus and they both use the OMAP 4460, therefore using the Nexus 7 2012 base will not work.
If you use the latest Android 5.0 port for the Galaxy Nexus instead then things should (hopefully) work just fine. The CM12 port for the Gnex also includes some updated GPU drivers from Texas Instruments which give better performance and provide better compatibility with newer Android versions.
I hope this may help you create a working Android TV port. I may try and build something myself during late January if I get the time but I can't make any promises. I've only just got the Nexus Q so I'm just starting to play around with it.
I am excited to see the progress on this. If this works, the possabilities are endless. Thank you every in advance for their support. If we can get this up and going, I am definalty donating to the cause for someones hard work (i wish i knew how to do this!)
To the developer of this rom if you want help just pm me. I'm thinking of starting a hangout group for porting Android TV.
I am very interested in this project and would be interested in helping out. I have never done anything like this, and I would like to see the nexus q live on.
If the full android-tv functionality is not possible, it would still be interesting to me to turn it into a 'cast ready speaker' for cast audio. (obviously I would need to hook my own speakers to it)
It has an amp, the ability to hook up to wifi, and volume control. In my mind, it would need no other functionality other than the ability to cast to it.
If there are any suggestions or guidance, please throw them out there. I will do my best to run with it.
Really hoping to see this go somewhere.
So is development for this dead?
Is there anyway to get development spurred back up for this? I would gladly donate some $$$ for someone to put some time into it.....If I new how too, I would help in development. This would be the ULTIMATE Android TV player!!!!!

The developers need to first get android L running on the device. The port is nearly impossible if your device doesn't have a fully function 5.0 port. The graphics HAL is the main thing I think will fail.
You all are welcome to give my AOSP 5.1 ROM a try, with the understanding it is in an extreme ALPHA state (first build, no 3rd party features implemented yet), and can tolerate restoring a backup if you encounter issues. I'm not sure how many still are actively using these on XDA, but the more testers the better so development can be expedited.

Awesome thank you for your work. Hopefully with that, this can take off!

[Q] Bluetooth Music BitPool too low

Hi everybody.
I've owned A LOT of Android devices, i think this phone will be my number 22 Android phone through time
I've also tried Iphone 3G back in the days (BVADR..), and a couple of Windows Phones..
Bluetooth music streaming in both Windows Phone and Iphones, are really good. It is so good actually, that i don't even bother putting in my AUX cable, because i can't really hear a great difference.
On any Android i tried (not with CM10 back in the days), there is clearly a quality downgrade! It must be something that bother others as well??
Now i know that the Bluetooth music streaming in Android is, well the most unacceptable piece of sh..t that ever was produced , but it bothers me that the only Rom that fixes this, and keeps fixing it, is CyanogenMod. Don't get me wrong, i really like CM 10, 11, 12, but i like Sony's "skin/template" a Little bit better, and would like to keep using that.
I have however reached a point now where i will do just about anything to fix the bluetooth music streaming in my new car. So i will, if i have to install CM12 on my Z3 and Loose a lot of the great features (camera) just for the bluetooth fix.
Before i do it though, isn't there a developer in here that knows where to fix this in general for the Lollipop release? It would be really great to have a BitPool fix, where we can overwrite some system files, or install a zip in recovery, or a Little app that could set the BitPool easy for us..
I'm not a developer but do Work in the IT businness and will of course be able to be beta tester or help in any way that i can!
If a developer can even pinpoint me to which files i need to change, i can go ahead and root my Z3, and do it myself. Would even put in a nice PowerPoint guide (and i'm really not the PowerPoint guy ), so that others can do it too.
Please help a frustated Android bluetooth user
this isn't development and should be in the Q&A section, i've reported this so a mod can move it to the appropriate place
All right thank you. I hope that developers look in the q&a section then
