Hello there,
I am using a head unit MOCO, which is 1 GB running on Android 6.0. It is very very slow even when I use very minimal apps. Esp. when I open Google maps, I get irritated with the slowness.
I want to speed up the unit and I have plans to run it for a couple of years. Some people say if I root, it should work fine. Some ask me to update new firmware.
I am not techy and I am not sure what to do. Please help me with some self-explanatory links, so I can speed up the unit.
Also, it says it has Bluetooth 4 but when I connect my phone to the unit for songs, it stammers and it cant play continuously. Please help on this as well.

Hi XDA guys!
A couple days ago I bought the maylong FD-220 "gps for dummies" gps at CVS pharmacy. The unit was deeply discounted ad I got it for $19.99 I knew it was a junk piece of hardware but I tried to go to the MFR website anyways to look for any map updates. No luck- the maps in the unit are from 2009 and they are NOT updating it- EVER. I guess the whole project completely tanked for them.
Anyways, I wanted new maps, and to eliminate using the ugly "for dummies" interface, so I figured I'd use MioPocket to hack my way in to a proper home screen, and install some windows CE 5.0 compatible gps software with newer maps etc.
I used MioPocket Mini 4.0 R2 and created a bootable sd card using the YFgo2CE.bld file trick to boot and complete the install. I was careful to use the Mini version because I ONLY wanted to do this to get more current maps and I don't care about using the device to do any other tricks whatsoever. Plus, I wanted to use whichever method was least likely to brick the device. I was successful and now I have a bootable sd card that loads MioPocket and the unit boots stock without sd card inserted.
Anyway, my question is this:
I know the unit was a el-cheapo Chinese piece of garbage, that's why it's discontinued now. I don't expect much but maps from 2009 with no updates is unacceptable. Does anyone know of any freeware, or even pay gps navigation programs that will run on windows ce 5.0 from an sd card? I just want newer maps- even if I use another discontinued program that at least had its last release in late 2010 or better etc.
I have done some web searching and have not been able to find a single tutorial or hack video etc which is written specifically for this model number. Just a few comments here and there.
Thanks to anyone who can help
Same problem..
I grabbed one at my CVS as well..
Looking for the same thing!
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.
So I picked on of these things up, I thought it seemed nifty. Once you get rid of all the extra crap MS puts on it, it actually runs pretty good also, its just windows 10.
I can't post an external link, but its easy to find the product page with google. Iview 1700AIO is the make & model number
Been trying to find an Android version to put on it though. Remix, Phoenix, plain X86 all have issues though. Older and new versions. There is no sound and wifi is spotty at best. The play store crashes alot. Also, there is no battery monitoring, its stuck around 7%.
Has anyone had any success with getting Android working properly? I'm sure the problems are driver related.
Hardware wise it has :
CPU- Intel Atom Z8350
WIFI - RTL8723BS
Sound - INTEL SST
I can post anything else someone might need if they have some ideas on getting this thing working.
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.
Hi
I have a Moto G3 from 2015 bought in the UK.
I have Android 6 on it, since that's the latest one I can update to. Some of my apps stopped working with this version though and require 8.0 or newer. I also noticed that when having things like Firefox, VLC, etc. open at the same time, apps are extremely slow and sometimes crash. I need to go into settings>apps and force close stuff to make the phone usable.
I know this is a terrible phone by 2023 standards, but I only use it for calling, texting, videos, and the occasional app. If it's possible to keep it alive for a while longer instead of buying a new one, I say why not.
I know nothing about Android, ROMs, rooting, or anything like that. All I know is I need a newer version, and some of the apps I use require Google Play to be active (eg. Sleep) and access to Location and some other permissions.
I saw some ROMs on this forum, like several versions of LineageOS, but I don't know if that's what I should get or not. I just want the lightest possible OS that can do everything that my current stock Android 6 can do (or, was able to a few months ago).
Any helpful pointers as to where to start?
Thanks
