app designed for android 4.4 gets stuck on android 6 - General Questions and Answers

Hi, basically i run a taxifirm and use android devices as our taxi system. i recently bought 100 new wileyfox and kazam devices. The wileyfox spark are running android 6.0.1 and the kazam 555 are running 5.1.
The app which i use for the cars was origionally designed for devices running 4.4 or below it does work as in the fuctions work when its on the higher devices but the gps doesnt seem to pick up the location of the driver. If you go on google maps the location is correct yet on the app i use it picks up sattelites but doesnt seem to know where the drivers are. Im hoping there is someone who could help with this as the devices are non returnable so i really need to be able to use them. Im not sure if the app just needs some extra file or some kind of tweak. Hope someone can help

First of all, did yo make the app? Do you have contact with who made it? What more have you tried to fix this? Have you tried to enable high precision location for the specific app?

I didn't make the app but I have tried high accuracy, the app just doesn't pick up the active sat. Snr it just has zeroes under each active satellite. I thought it wasn't reading the map to start with but then realised it's not reading the GPS data correctly

Have you tried to change the build.prop to 4.4?

I have found a higher version which works on higher android versions, unfortunately I can't use this version as it doesn't match my system and would cost thousands to upgrade. Would anyone be able to compare the two apks and see if there is a fix. Thanks

How and where would I change the build .Prop? ?
Had a quick look at build prop, I tried changing the device build prop to 4.4 but made no difference

Just found that the new apk has a file reading libmonosgen-2.0.so that the old apk doesn't have. Tried putting it in the old apk but wouldn't install with that file in it

OK so found what I need to get, the ndrive version 11 cracked apk. Hope someone has a link to it I can't find it anywhere

[Q] Collaboration to Port android to wm8650

Good Day Everyone,
I have been searching the forums for a few days and installed a number of apk's all of which don't seem to work.
There seems to be so many posts on Chinese tablets and getting Android Market to work. And a number of work arounds that I have tried have so far been unsuccessful. Many of us have bought the WM8650 models (VIA8650,High-performance 800MHZ CPU+300MHZ).
So my question is can't we collaborate as a group who own these tablets to donate an amount (say $10 or $20 each) to the developer that ports an Android version which runs all the Google apps and Market?
That way we won't have to look for workarounds, and those who purchase after us will have a much easier upgrade path.

I have the wm8650 and can't access to the android market, even though there is an icon for it. I get an error that says, "Authentication error. Please check your account/password". Have you figured out the problem yet?
Not yet
Hi guytimes.
The Android Market apk that I loaded won't open, however it seems the pre-loaded Market app on the device only shows applications from China(did not return any results when I searched for Angry Birds). The icons look similar but I'm not sure if the pre-loaded app goes to the Official Android Market place.(If someone knows, please could you correct me?).
In the interim, to at least to get some apps loaded, I managed to get the application from Slideme ( an Android application website) which works well. It does not have all the apps on the official Market but it will let you download and install. I am still trying to find a way to get the Google apps and Market place working or to Port a different ROM to this type of device.

Wow, that stinks. I had no idea the marketplace was blocked on these devices. Please let me know if you find a real work around and I'll do the same.
Hi everyone,
I too opt-in for a possible collaboration.
I'm still waiting my baby to arrive.
Thanks
Thank you boshkop,
Let's hope we can get enough people to agree. And then a technical person to port Android for us.
By the way I found another nice app market at Androidpit
What do you mean by "porting the Android"?! The device already runs Android 2.2!! Am I missing something here?

As far as I understood, he meant that Android market doesn't work and no apps can be installed even via .APK files, am I correct?
I just found a possible solution for the AndroidMarket (using the application Applanet).
Check here (the last post):
androidpit.com/en/android/forum/thread/420722/Table-7-wm8650-VIA-926-REVIEW
I have this tablet and I can tell you, it run 90% of the apk aplications
No need to have an android market. You can install the applanet market and get all free without registration and any complicated steps.
Now the only thing I'm searching is to know how to root the tablet.
I can access all the system files directly and edit any archive but need some special permisions.
Hopefully soon we can find soemthing for this awesome tablet.
rom
Hi everyone, I will have a ROM posted for the Eken m009s with the via 8650 cpu within the next few days, so far I removed the chinese apk's, a different lockscreen (froyo default), and launcher pro as the default home screen, also, Slide Me marketplace works perfectly on this, and Applanet does as well, the market I tried also fails to open.

Did you ever post this rom?
There are lots of ROMs some of them still under development here:

I really dont know how to tell which one mine is though? It is a MID tablet running android 2.2 froyo 7" display I can post my model number and other specs if you need them to be able to tell which one it is.

Unfortunately there are at least 3-4 models with same tech specs.
The only difference is their LED color or if they vibrate on startup or not...
So far, the only way with the custom ROMs for these tablets is trial-and-error.
I tried on last night and it is stuck on a loading screen tried the install again and nothing... mine has green led and does vibrate on startup

Just keep trying with different ROMs made for the Green LED tablets.
Thats the problem the only roms I found that will actually load on my tablet dont work the other green led roms wont even load???

[CAR AUDIO] XTRONS TD620A - 6.2” Android HD w/ Multi-touch

Just bought and installed this 2-DIN headunit! So awesome to finally have Android in the dash. So far it seems great.
LIKES:
Multi-touch is a nice touch
Able to install my own apks without connecting to the Play Store
Finally get to use Live Wallpapers without worrying about battery drain
Customizability
Built in fan
DISLIKES:
Start up time kinda sucks
Wifi seems to trip out when downloading via phone tether
Ipod icon in the dock (how clueless is that?? Android and Apple aren't friends)
*Actually to be honest, I kinda understand it. A lot of people use their ipods/iphones to listen to their music. My major gripe about this though is that- I CAN'T GET RID OF IT! I don't want an Ipod app on my Android. I would like to figure out how to get rid of it. I'd much rather put my bluetooth icon in the doc.
So far I've installed Skype, Space Colony Live Wallpaper, Maps With Me, and RecForge Lite. I haven't tried TB or Root Explorer yet, as I don't have root access (yet!). It comes preinstalled with Gmail, Email, Angry Birds Rio, Radio (the FM Radio app), EZ File Explorer and several other apps. It runs really smooth for the most part.
Anyone else have this unit yet? Anyone tried rooting it yet? Please share your experience in this thread.
Just for reference, the stock system versions are as follows:
CPU Information
Freescale i.MX53
RAM Information
512M DDR3 800
Android Version
2.3.7
MCU Version
2.10.9-1-10-1
System Version
2.20.21
DVD Version
2.13.11-1200wb
What is interesting is I was able to access my root directory and files without rooting my device. However, when I checked with Root Checker Basic, it said my device was not rooted. And I'm unable to mount R/W. I was able to copy the system/app folder with no problem though. Is this typical of non-rooted devices?

So far I'm pretty happy with it. The start-up time is a little slow, but other than that, it does pretty much everything I want it to do. I was able to install a different launcher that's more customizable and more to my taste. I've been able to connect to internet and Gmail and the playstore without any problem. I haven't had any problem installing apps (except for when I was intentionally trying to install apps that I knew wouldn't work... ie. Samsung apps). No major complaints. Overall a great purchase!

When you say start up time, do you need to shut the device off when u leave the car, or can you put it in stand by mode?

Yup, it shuts down everytime you take the key out of the ignition. There is no standby or hibernate mode.
I just purchased this unit off Newegg and I'm really looking forward to seeing what it can do. I was curious if you ever got root access worked out? I would love to see this get some more attention from devs and really show what android in-dash is capable of!

Got mine installed few days ago. So far so good. Boot time is around 45sec, not a really big problem for me as i do drive more then one min every trip. The default audio player sucks. The unit always runs the default player automatically at the beginning. Every time you have to stop the music b4 you switch to other player. Kinda annoying.
question
I bought the same model XTRONS. I have a question I have downloaded the launcher? Is there any other Bluetooth dial? Because the original is dramatic.

Hi! I am used XTRONS model TDA-610A. The characteristics of 620 similar to 610. Then you can refer to the section "OUKU - Unbranded 6.2" 2 DIN Android Car Stereo Radio Head UNIT "These receivers are the same.
Hi
anyone manage to update firmware or root this unit? thinking of getting one.

[Q] Could someone rip the GRID beta APK?

I'm in Canada, and it won't show up on the store unless I (presumably) spoof my location. I know people have had it working from other countries already - could someone upload this? Much appreciated!

I live in Canada and it installed and works great, so you should have no problems.
Yes, I'm a retard. There's a link to the app from the Shield store (when you press the home button), but this goes no where in the google play store - turns out the GRID beta was already installed on my shield automatically with update 65. Found under all apps.
Could someone rip it for me?
It ism't working for me in Indonesia, it is not installed in the update, I don't want to wait to get back to the UK, I'm here for a couple of months
Agree, grid beta apk is needed. Someone please upload apk.
please upload apk
thanks
Grid working in uk!
Hi,Grid is working in northern Ireland In the UK On the shield!
here you go
Here you go! http://icloudserv.com/gridapp.apk
But it will only work on Shield (I tried on my HTC one and it says "this device is not supported") I also tried to open file and change something, but everything is encrypted , and other files dont have needed information on how to change the file to work with Every Android device, as far as I understand Cloud Gaming has nothing to do with NVIDIA TEGRA GPU. Is it possible to decrypt it and make see Remote Desktop with all graphic Features such as D3d or OpenGL? Kelper GPU supports passthrough.

Nether Tegra Note 7 support it.
From nvidia forum:
"The TegraNote 7 doesnt have integrated 5Ghz wifi in it, which we know can result in some stuttering. "
Só maybe you device should have integrated 5GHz wifi to work.
Hi,
Maybe changing the build.prop might help?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1948558
As for the 5Ghz routers, that's only a recommendation. I live in Portugal (170+- latency), and I can play Grid just fine with my 2,5Ghz routers (RT-N16 with Tomato).
Obviously they should be fined tuned to offer the best possible performance to wireless clients.

try a logcat while launching the app to see why it's unhappy. On one device I had, Tasker installed but would not run without one of the framework files supplied by Maps. Just copying in the framework file was enough to get Tasker running, didn't need the app itself.
Anyone tried a nodded build prop? It would be cool to get this working on a nexus 10

[Q] Adam apk: a security feature? Malware? Something else?

Dear all,
I was just going through my apps list to see what I could disable and came across an app (only visible in the "ALL" tab in app manager) called Adam, it's 52 kb, cannot be disabled and has permissions to do just about whatever it wants.
Its version is 4.4.2-31. I recently updated to 4.4.2 (by manually installing the OTA), so I'm thinking it's something built in, but I cannot find anything explaining it. The closest "hit" on Google search was a paper on: "ADAM: An Automatic and Extensible Platform to Stress Test Android Anti-Virus Systems" but this sounds more like an analysis tool than built-in virus protection. I also searched this forum directly and didn't find anything.
Can anyone verify what this is? I doubt it's malicious but I'm curious about how Android is handling security these days.
BTW this is on a Moto X GSM DE version (XT1053), oddly enough I haven't felt the need to root it...
Cheers!
[Edit] I was able to display a little more info in Avast!'s app manager and its name is com.motorola.adamsvc, so it's something from motorola. Still not sure what it is though...

Same story! Had a Moto G though. Still unable to find out what it is. But since bootloader is locked tampering the ota is impossible as that would change the signature too! So rest assured it shouldn't be a malware.
hi guys.. i also have adam app in my moto g.. its system app cannot remove.. is it a virus/malware ??? cant find anything on internet related to it.. how to get rid of it ???

[Completed] [Q] Problem with play market - your device isn't compatible with this version

I have a m8c eny tv android box with kitkat.
When i tried to search some apps I got
" your device isn't compatible with this version".
I tried to edit build.prop, but it didn't help.
What I can do?
Thanks in advance.
If your device truly isn't compatible there isn't really a great deal you can do other than to accept it. Be very careful about edging your build.prop too, editing incorrectly can cause the device to stop working completely so a lot of care must be taken.
Its very similar to other device em8 that works good with play market, so should be any way to do this.
Similar doesn't really mean anything, a petrol BMW and a diesel BMW are similar but that doesn't mean you can swap the fuels between the two vehicles. The same can be said for Android devices, being similar certainly doesn't mean they can run the same apps.
