[Q]Which Car Radio Android Head Unit platform RK3066 o RK3188? - General Questions and Answers

Thanks to the talk about Huafei and RK3066, I discover about the Car Radio OEM based on "pure" android... And now Im finilly find a brand and model seem fit on me, I find that a lot of OEM units are launch with he RK3188... But when I start looking info about these SOC, Just find not so much good info in how the SOC RK3188 works on Tablets... even some one had N90II Yuandao (RK3066), and must change to Vido N90FHD (97rq) (RK3188) and say its very bad 2d experience... say only good is see films... It's said Mali can't support big resolution....
Then... How it is going on Car Radio unit? What I saw, have the same resolution 1024 x 600... then... Must I deduce then the "agility" with apps will be the same of car units with RK3066?
Please Help!

Welcome Back... We'll need a user section on these over at Slatedroid like we setup for the ZT-180... I believe that this is a 'Malata SMB-A1002' tablet based at least on what comparison we can see from FC pictures... It' seems to match up with similar specs as the 'Advent Vega' tablet so based on some vodeo reviews of that similar tablet this should be a screamer!

I wanted to start one but it doesn't have a section yet so I made one under the Non Listed Thread
i ordered one as well so here is hopeing they live up to thier specs
Looks like they haven't gotten them in yet. : http://www.flatcomputing.com/forum/showthread.php?16-A10T-release-date&p=110&viewfull=1#post110
Found an Android 2.2 User guide online - http://www.droid-life.com/2010/08/03/download-official-android-2-2-user-guide/
(Hmmm - ok, so this seems like double posting to me now, since it's in the Flat Computing Forum already. Ok last time I'll put the same info in both forums.)
well, let's hope this one or a clone will be available for around 299.
That would be a ipad killer.
considering the price of 199 for the A10, the A10T might be available elsewhere for at least 350.
let's wait and see .
Maybe the first post can contain the hardware compatible models?

Well, the ZT-180 was also known as ePad, Apad (A10?) en probably other names.
It would be interesting to have all the variations here, so we spot the most affordable one .

I saw that before. I wonder if it is capacitive.
The commenter says it runs 2.1 and it looks a bit inresponsive sometimes, so I wonder if it is the same hardware.
Anyone get one of these yet?

Flat Computing A10T review
A10t Review
I have been using the A10t (engineering model) for over 1 week. Following are my thoughts:
1. This unit is extremely fast. I played a DVD quality movie (full screen), and rotated the tablet, while the vid was playing. It didn't miss a beat.
2. Zooming in/out is extremely smooth and fast.
3. Wifi works great.
4. The display is unreal, (GREAT), beats the ipad
I ran this next to an Ipad, there is no comparison, This IS an Ipad KILLER!!!
It has no drawbacks, that I can find, except posibly the weight, but this is a 10" screen.
This review is short and sweet
I will write a full review in the very near future.
This is NOT vaporware. Those of you that are thinking about cancelling your order, should thing not once, twice, but thrice, before cancelling.
Remember, I am testing an engineering version of this tablet, ROMs are still being worked on. If it works this well in the engineering model, I can't wait to get the
production unit that I ordered.
hi,
So you can confirm it runs Android 2.2 and has flash 10.x running?
I bought the iPad which has blown away my zt-180.
I would not call it an iPad killer untill I see a similar great app stack is developped for Android that uses the screen size properly.
Sounds great, I will definitely check it out.
Please keep us informed!
This page shows the current models :
http://www.androidpads.com/2010/09/...-interpad-hanspree-snappiness-for-around-400/
Did anyone test one yet?
I wonder if battery life is correct, if external gps can be used, 3G dongle and if it is flashable?
Good value for money imho.
I am missing a front camera only.

Herotab C8 Information & Development

So I got one of the variations of this rather generic Chinese tablet and am very interested to get development on it going. Some folks over at Slatedroid (currently down for upgrades) started messing around with this tablet.
So far we have root via the normal su/superuser.apk method. There seems to be no NAND lock of any kind or no bootloader mischief going on, Either. The CPU is the same used in the Galaxy S and Tab from what I understand.
Some brave soul (username Asure on Slatedroid) also found an older kernel source for it, as well as source for some of the drivers. We've seen a couple of firmware updates going so far in the last two months or so.
These are the general tech specs for this device, and its similarly named and equipped friends (Dropad A8, Haipad M7, etc):
Dimensions: 196.5*125*14.5mm
Weight: 0.510g
LCD: Capacitive Multi-touch 2-point 7" @ 800x480
CPU: Samsung S5PV210 (ARM v7 Cortex A8) @ 1.0GHz
RAM: 512MB DDR2 RAM
Wifi: 802.11 b/g/n support
NAND: 2/4GB NAND Flash (On most models, some have no NAND or as little as 256MB)
Camera: Front Camera, 1.3MP
Battery: Dual 2250mAh batteries (also seems to change per device 'brand')
Others: USB2.0 support both normal and host mode, HDMI 1.3 output
Runs a rather generic Froyo on it. Ask me for any more info, I hope we can get more support for this going. I'd probably be willing to donate a bit to get interested (and experienced) developers going.
Is there a different thread going on about this device? Search didn't show anything.
Haven't found anything similar in XDA about it or the variants.
I'm thinking of getting it, too. Was hoping I can find more support for this device in here. Gingerbread, plausible?
This device is pretty good, but no xda support yet.
This device is basically a Galaxy Tab Wifi 4GB, as the hardware is the same.
I did a CM7 port for it. See SD for more details, XDA topic is dead
Can't believe there are no more people on XDA who have a Dropad / Haipad / Herotab. Good hardware en cheap! I hope there is a dev who can make a custom recovery for this tablet, that would make it next to perfect!
better buy a branded tablet
That herotab c8 is my second tablet that I bought it from aliexpress, yeah i know it is a lousy place but the price was much cheaper than merimobiles.
I sold back the first cheap tablet which is bloody slow and specs are very low which is under $100.
The second tablet that i bought was C8/herotab/whatever they call it. (yeah I made a mistake twice.)
Before I bought this, I read a bunch of reviews by c8 owners on youtube, including some videos posted on merimobiles. And I convinced myself that 1GHz cpu powered tablet would be great. yeah I was partially right.
Running applications + watching videos are simply awesome. avi, mkv, 1080 play flawlessly, I watch only 720p because of the file size, so watching movie on it was awesome.
cons
Unresponsive compare to Galaxy tab(i think you are going to talk about the price tag)
Compare to the crowd working on branded phone/tablet, Very few people are working on the customised rom.
And bloody heavy, yeah as a tablet half a Kg is pretty heavy.
What else.
I even planned to sell it back but now my daughter plays angry bird, watches nursery rhymes videos on it. So I leave it with her.
The worst thing is no developers at xda are interested to work on it
yes. very good machine. I just know it is generic one with many other name like Haipad M7, Dropad a8, Apad 7009. all of them have an issue in common:
either skype or fring does work on them. I am keen to know if someone has video call working on it. thanks for your input
i managed to initiate a qik videocall via wifi but it took me many calls to get a connection that didnt broke after a vew seconds.
i have installed asure's cm7 beta 0.4 + launcher pro plus with honeycomb theme and layout. works great in everyday use. after deleting the unnecessary phone related apk's the battery lasts for at least a whole at heavy use and up to 2.5 days with much standby time. im loving it. it's not perfect but it's more than you'd expect from such a lowprice device.
Hey if you want ROMS and firmware updates for this device, I think this is THE page you need

2Din, 10+inch, PX5, 4GB devices

I'm currently looking for a new Android headunit with these specs:
2Din,
10inch,
PX5,
4GB
I've found 3 'different' devices. They all look the same for me, that's why I wanted to ask the community, if you've got experience with those specific devices and/or any other recommendations. I know there is joying, but they are a bit more expensive.
Xtrons:
XTRONS 2 Din Universal Radio Audio 10.1" Android 8.0 Octa Core Car DVD Stereo Player Steering Wheel GPS Canbus Navigation OBD

Do you think those devices are all the same and I should just pick the cheapest?
Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!
nice finds.. i would say go with Dasaita.. just because of hotaudio's updates here on xda.. that seems tempting for me to move from their generic 7" din to that 10" monster..

I will install malaysk rom anyways, so I'm not depend on their updates. I have a dasaita in my other car and it is really good, I was just looking for a cheaper alternative.
But other than the quality of dasaitas software updates, do you think theres a difference in hardware as well?
probably would suggest xtrons if you want the cheaper price.. looks like sd card is behind display.. which is good if you want easy updates in the future

Need help updating Android head Unit !

Hello All,
I have an android head unit with this specifications and I am looking for an update for this unit. It has Android 5.1 on it and I wonder if I can upgrade to Android 6 because it is working extremely slow.
I also need to change the touchscreen and if anyone can help me to pick the right touch screen I would be very happy.
A Media Auto (1024 x 600 S
SN: 3501221603001a0607e0fa5133504b52
Processor : ARM Cortex-a9 @1,6ghz(x4)

Thanx in advance
Android 5.1 runs with a PX3 core board.
To run Android 6 you need to upgrade your core board to a PX5.
It is extremely easy to do and the new core board comes with Android 6.0 preloaded.
You can search the internet for suitable suppliers, and also for fitting instructions. Cost will be about 80 GBP.

if you upgrading your core board from PX3 to PX5, might as well get one with Android 8.0 pre-installed.
you can get it Aliexpress and amazon?
unscrew 2 screw and remove the SOM board (PX3).
Install the new SOM board (PX5) and tighten the 2 screws
Absolutely correct, if you want Android 8 this is the way to go.
But, it brings with it a whole new story. For a start it is not as easy as previously to update your ROM and boards that have this upgrade to original PX3 machines can have problems with wi-fi and bluetooth connections. Read through the Android 8 forum to aquaint yourself.
On a side note, i upgraded from a PX3/5.1 machine and had no problems.

They are exactly the same. Cooling doesn't matter in this case. Just ask Joying which will fit your car better.
If I had the choice I would always go for the single-din unit if your car is not so big, as that means that the space behind your dashboard will not be too big either. With a few accessories it is really difficult to put everything in the dashboard.
Note that both units are 1024x600. For a 7" that is sufficient, but if you also have the choice for 1280x720 and you can afoord it, I would select that one.
