[Completed] Unsure where to ask...chinese car headunit with custom software

Hey guys, I am really unsure where to ask or even if this is the forum to go to, but I've came across a few of these Chinese headunits online and they seem to be priced so well that I'd like to play around with it.
Example,
http://m.tomtop.com/7-inch-universa...-with-rear-view-camera-k3839.html?aid=CRM0223
This is a 7" double din unit that I'd like to see if it's possible to install some other kind of operating system other then what's preloaded on this.
A fellow forum member has purchased it and it looks like a decent unit that will match our older (2003) volkswagens interior.

Does anybody know if it's possible to load up a different OS/Android onto these units? This one specifically is sold as Model 7018B
Thanks

Hi
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
Check out the > Android Auto > Android Head Units forum.
That should be the best place to discuss this sort of thing.

[Completed] [help] How to customize the 2 icons on notification bar?

Hi guys,
I'm using an Android 4.4 tablet (rooted), and I want to customize these 2 icons that shows on notification bar: WiFi with question mark, and downloading icon (actually it's a short animation to show the downloading status)

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I know the icons should be in an apk file, but I don't know the file path. I try to extract “systemui.apk” ,"framework-res.apk" and "settings.apk", but nothing found. Could somebody tell me any possible path please? Thanks a lot.

MTCD Intel Sofia ROM query

Are there any custom ROMs for the Intel Sofia (sofia3gr) head units around? I saw the stock rom collection thread/repository but those are all just stock, nobody else building/cooking ROMs for these units?
Thanks in advance!

I'm interested too but seems that our choice to buy a Sofia unit is not the best! Seems that now PX3 and mainly PX5 units are invading the universe of Android Car Units. The only discussion I found about our SOM is here (https://forum.carjoying.com/thread-1377-current-state-of-hackishness-.html) but is too early to have something running...
The strange thing is that our SOM Sofia3GR has quite the same capability as PX5, probably the people did not trust it was so powerful ...

I'm also interested, even in finding stock ROM's, I've only found 2 older ones so far.

Thanks, yes I found that too. Perhaps I should dust off my android kitchen and get back up to speed with it! (Only been about 5yrs since I've looked!)
I've currently got the 'latest' downloading from my supplier, this is sofia_6.0_20170915.zip so I'll get that downloaded (818Mb and from a Chinese download server running terribly slow...14hrs remaining) and then take a look at the contents of the rom image, see what version that presents to us.

As promised, this is a download from my head unit supplier (Hizpo) and this is for 6.0_sofia_6.0_wifi(20170915).zip
https://we.tl/kfJTMonive
This was supplied for MTCD_XRC sofia3gr_car_64

Give a any news for Root on Intel Sofia?

I'm trying to find a download for the broken link above, the HIZPO Sofia 6.0. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Not an MTC / MTCD/E so unlikely your question be answered in this forum.

Help me choose - PX6 or SC9853 based HU

I'm in the process of getting an Android head unit and I've come across Ownice K series. Specs are similar, but the K3 has PX6 CPU and Android 10 and K6 has a SC9853 CPU but only Android 8.1. The latter also has a 4G slot, but I guess I could do without (I'll just buy a 4G hotspot dongle and use the wireless on the head unit).
However, I am more interested in a more recent Android and the possibility of future upgrades, root and custom ROMs.

The SC9853 is bug ridden, more so than MTCD/E, where the developers ostensibly ported MTC code to it.

The SC9853 is big ridden

Do you want an obscure unit with more bugs or a well known, much develop/posted MTCx .
Perhaps you're not aware that the sc is NOT an MTCx?

I'm new to head units, only read a few threads here so I'm not that familiar with which is which.

Perhaps request the thread moved to the Android Head Units thread, which is open to all variants.
