How to go to recovery setting for my HU? - MTCD Android Head Units Q&A

Can someone help me?
I really no idea at all why my HU android is different from others?
I can’t even go to setting - ABOUT my HU info.
Attached is my HU info. Can someone tell me what android version is this?
I just want a HU like you guys having.

To me it looks like you don't have an MTCD device. This forums are for MTCD devices only.
You might want to check out the Android Head Units forum or the Android Auto General forum.
I am not sure what exactly you got there but it does not look like PX3/PX5 based nor is it MTCB/C/D/E.
It seems to have some ARMv7 (v7l) CPU which is a 32-bit architecture. A very similar request was asked here, however unanswered yet. The number 8227 might refer to the MSM8227 chipset used with Qualcom Snapdragon S4 ARM CPU which in fact is an ARM v7 architecture (32-bit, "Krait" cores) used often in mobile phones back in 2011/2012.
However this does not help really to identify your unit and I don't know if there is any support, updates or custom ROMs available for this unit. I just know it's not MTCD unit and therefore none of the custom ROMs, enhancements or modifications discussed in this forum applies to your unit. Sorry about that.

[Q] How to get cpu type

Hi all.
As a hardware designer, I've usually found that firmware updates eg update from Droid 2.1 to 2.2 would be cpu specific. EG different firmwares for different CPU.
Does this apply to tablets with cpu differences such as Telechip 8902, ZT-180, Rockchip 2808 ??
If so, can anyone advise
How to display the tablets device cpu type?
How do we know which firmware suits which cpu?
Thanks; hope the question is not inane!

[Q] Is it possible to change the processors of android phones?

Hi everyone,
i want to know if we can change the processors of android phones.
my phone is "olive pad vt 100, running android froyo with a 667 mhz qualcom m7227 processor.
i want to change it to some other more powerful processor like snapdragon 1 mhz or somthing like that.
any kinds of sugesstions(positive or negative) are welcome
thanks you.
PS:
i know this is not the rightplace to post this kind of question.but i've searched google and also other forums in this site. there is no forum related to hardware.

Hi, Bryandeep -
While it is technically feasible, if the following is true:
The new processor is from the same chipset family, and
The new processor pinout is identical. and
The support chipsets can handle the higher speeds & currents, and
You can purchase the processor (or, get a manufacturer sample), and
You have access to and the talent for using a surface mount desoldering / soldering station.
... In reality, the answer is "No". You would be much better off (and probably a ton cheaper) to go buy the fastest and most powerful Android tablet that is available on the planet in about 3 months.
That's why you aren't seeing many (any?) posts on CPU "upgrades" for smartphones.

[Q]Android and problems

Hello guys
I was reading history of Android and why applications weren't working good on all Android devices. I hear something its due to different versions of android and different API and that some applications work better on devices for which it was made for.
My question is: Why did some applications work better on some devices than the other? What does API has to do with it? I have read that ICS will fix this issue and that applications will not be optimized on specific device and will work on all devices becaus of API. Can someone explain me this pls?
Here is video where this guy talks about this but i don't understand it totally:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTRU52nIJUE&feature=relmfu
Some devices are much faster than others (single core, dual core, quad core)
Someone else pls? Cus dual core can be slower than single core if single core has application that is optimized for that hardware... Why do you think apple has only 1 phone? Cus they develop software for that particular hardware...

[Q] Combines SGS III Mali Drivers from Kernel with RK3188 Kernel

Howdy all,
I am a bit new around here but I stay pretty busy on some other forums and I run a site called rockchipfirmare.com. I don't consider myself a developer in the true sense of the word but rather I mix-n-mash roms primarily without getting into too much actual coding.
So I have a question that is slightly out of my league and I am hoping someone with a bit more knowledge can lend a hand.
I have two chipsets in front of me.
One is the Samsung Exynost 4412 (Quad-Core A9 with Mali-400 MP4 gpu)
The other is a Rockchip RK3188 (Quad-Core A9 with Mali-400 MP4 gpu)
Basically, I have noticed that Exynos pretty much runs EVERYTHING just a little bit smoother than the RK3188 does, even though the RK3188 actually does better in most synthetic benchmarks.
I think it -might- be a driver optimization issue as I am sure Samsung does a heck of a lot more with their drivers than Rockhip. I also suspect that the Mali-400 GPU in the RK3188 is running at a lower clock than Rockchip claims. Thus far I haven't found a way to figure out what the GPU specifically is clocked at.
Anyhow, here is my question....
Would it be possible to get the Samsung Mali drivers from the Siyah kernel and import them into the RK3188 kernal for a specific device?
I think I have most of the tools to do so already as I can unpack and repack boot images for the RK3188. Although I never have gotten into the extracted kernel image.
I guess I am asking if I should spend time on the above or whether it is a fools errand and if I do spend time on it what exactly am I looking to get from the SIyah kernel once I get into it?
Any thoughts our help someone would like to throw my way are most welcome.
Kind Regards,
Roman
Would be wonderful if someone can do this
Well, that is what I am try to learn, how to combine different modules drivers.
If the module is compile with the same kernel version (Linux 3.0.36), then maybe it could work.
How is going so far? I really would like to learn about that to be able to recollect all the modules for different RK3188 tablets and the be able to recompile new version of the kernel.
I am going to start playing with a PIPO M6 but any help will be much appreciated.
Note: If the GPU driver are integrated in the kernel I don't know you are going to be able to use them, as you cannot build a complete kernel for your RK8188 tablet.
For mali, the source code is open source and it can be found at http://malideveloper.arm.com/develo...source-mali-gpus-linux-kernel-device-drivers/

MTCD_GS_v2.38_3/ rk3188/ 1GB - Upgrade options

Hi,
I have a couple of years old android unit in my car (MTCD_GS_v2.38_3_3/rk3188/ 1GB RAM/ ARM Cortex-A9 @ 1.6GHz (x4)/ Android 5.1.1) which is very sluggish and constantly lagging/freezing. I can see now that the latest version of my unit comes with 4GB RAM, 8 core and Android 9.
Do I have any options to upgrade the hardware in order to make the unit faster? The latest unit costs about £250 and I was hoping I might be able to upgrade my existent unit cheaper to an acceptable performance levels..
I am mostly using the unit for Google Maps and Youtube.
Many Thanks,
Jay

Thanks for the reply Marchnz. Do you have a link to the thread - I couldn’t find anything specifically on that topic.
Thanks again
