Now that Joying seems to be pretty close to the release of their RK3188 version of Android 5.1.1 lollipop, do you think we could start some kind of petition to them to upgrade to RK3288? maybe it wont be so hard after all the development done to bring 5.1.1 over RK3188, since RK3188 dont have official support for lollipop they are using an old kernel and more than likely RK3288 code that has official lollipop support from Rockchip, like other custom lollipop roms for the RK3188 out there.
May be if we show them that there is a real demand, they will go for it, after all, the demand for lollipop made them create this hybrid rom for backward compatibility with their existent hardware, wich could be a lot harder that work on an already officialy supported SoM with and SDK.
I know that SoM swaps have been done before from Rk3066 to RK3188 and the gains where huge... so why change the whole Head Unit when we just need a new SoM, also I've heard of providers that actually sell the replacement SoM from RK3066 to RK3188... so why not try between many of us to ask for this next step from Joying, with faster Boot times(this is a must), more CPU processing power, more RAM and better GPU?
What do you think?
I'm very curious about this as well

Excellent idea. I just sent away a Facebook message to Joying asking them about this.
RK3288 would indeed be a major upgrade. Cortex A9->Cortex A17, Mali 400 -> 700 series, dual channel DDR3, eMMC4.5 and most likely Bluetooth 4.x support etc.
If you want a real upgrade, get them to move away from Rockchip all together.

Joying doesn't make the SoM's, it's Rockchip that places them on the market . basically no head unit manufacturer can make more than a carrier board, they do not have the knowledge for more.
They sell RK3288 SoM upgrades: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Firefly-RK3288-Reload-CoreBoard-Quad-core-A17-1-8GHz-Support-Ubuntu-Android-HDMI2-0-4K/32626693047.html?ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_1_10000560_10000606_10000561_10000073_10130_10000074_10000608_10000709_10000660_10000704_10000703_10000175_10000509_10000507_10000505_10000558_10136_10000068_10000552_10000369_10000063_10000365_10000367_10099_10000663_10000665_10096_10000669_10000569_10000097_10000094_10000337_10000723_10000090_10000147_10000091_10000726_10000144_10000339_10000729_10000150_10000679_10084_10000678_10083_10000676_10080_10000153_10000673_10082_10081_10110_10111_10112_10113_10000535_10114_10000534_10000089_10000086_10000710_10000083_10000349_10000690_10000135_10000716_10000693_10000080_10078_10000717_10079_10077_10000688_10073_10000684_10000140_10070_10122_10123_10126_10124_10000546_10065_10068_10000746_10000782_10000743_10000132_10000033_10000786_10000030_10000026_10000126_10000023_10000129_433_10000123_10000696_10060_10062_10000699_10056_10055_10054_10000632_302_10059_10000738_10000120_10000774_10000734_10000020_10000778_10000013_10000117_10103_10102_10000016_10000114_10000111_10052_10053_10107_10050_10106_10051_10000621_10000384_10000763_10000629_10000766_10000101_10000100_10000576_10000770_10000579_10000104_10000045_10000578_10000375_10000108_10000377_10000758_10000612_10000390_10000613_10000042_10000750_10000592_10000754_10000594_10000039_10000587_10000036_10000389_10000187,searchweb201603_9,afswitch_1,ppcSwitch_5,single_sort_0_price_desc&btsid=ef5e601f-b560-425f-a799-d4145b3ca2f9&algo_expid=54085468-96d0-47dd-9e78-ef975803d812-1&algo_pvid=54085468-96d0-47dd-9e78-ef975803d812 Couldn't you just swap them without any trouble?
Would that fit a Rk3066 800x480 MTCB unit?
InDashNet released a video on its youtube channel showing the booting time of the new Octa Core Head Units with Android 5.1 (mybe 5.1.1 but in its Google Plus the version its not specific beyond "5.1")

yes, looking for info I saw that Indiegogo campaign for dualcore units, and they created a second campaign to manufacture the new Octa Core Units:
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/indashnet-world-s-first-open-source-infotainment#/
They even released the 4.4.4 android code on git:
https://github.com/indashnet/InDashNet.Open.UN2000
I hope they will release the lollipop source too
The units seems to be using a Allwinner A83T Octa Core CPU with a PowerVR SGX 544MP GPU and GB of RAM
Im tryin to find someone who actually have a unit or seen one working to have some reference beyond 15secs boot video, an opensource unit (the android part, not the MCU as far as I can see) would be great (ctually since I cant find anyone with this units, I dont know anything about its MCU, o what does it uses for that purpose)
If anyone knows something,
please comment
Thanks in advance
I have a unit you can contact me.
Great Sound, Great Mic and Great Speed.

Thanks for the input caNo03!
.-wich version you have? dual core or octa core? (Im guessing octa, since you said it has great speed)
.-you said the mic is also great (other units are usually bad at this) you refer to the embedded mic, or it has a secondary mic that you can place somewhere else? or both? (usually android units have a lot of noise with a secondary mic overlaping with the embedded one)
.-how about Buetooth? the contacts are shared from the phone like a regular radio with BT? or it can use the contacts from your android account? good sound incall?
.-can you use voice commands o call? or steering wheels controls to call, see contacts to call, answers calls?
(as part of the previous question, do you have a CAN BUS working model?, if you do, what vehicle you have?, what features of the CAN BUS have you tested?, steering wheel controls for music and radio?, reverse camera? parking sensors?)
.-what about A2DP? when you stream music from your mobile using bluetooth, the tracks have its info and artwork(AVRCP 1.6)? or just the track info in text(AVRCP 1.5)?, can you play FLAC music files over A2DP?
.-can you change the boot animation from a manu?, select a car brand symbol or something?
.-can you set how long the unit stay in sleep mode when you turn off the car?
sorry, I know its a lot of questions, but there is so few info on the web
Thanks in advance
Best regards
There's basically 0 info on the web. Have you tried emailing Thomas (the owner of the company) these questions? I would love to see a little more information about them on the forum, perhaps some resources and tips.
I have an octa-core unit in the box still, hopefully installing it this week.

Im trying to get more info from thomas, I think that with the lollipop source a great community can grow, as soon as I get more info from them, I will be posting it.
If you can check some of the doubts I posted when you install it, please share it
little by little we can create a good amount of info and resources
Thanks again
I have seen new Android 6.0 units with 4G built in. Both from Ownice. But none with Intel SoC. One witch MT3562 Octa Core, ARM Cortex-A53, 1.5-1.8GHz (which Brand? Mediatek, Autochips or other ? ) http://www.ownice.com/Pro_Auto DVD GPS Navigation for 2din Universal_405.html
And on AliExpress the Android 6.0 only have a Quadcore Cortex-A53, 1.3-1.6GHz.
https://de.aliexpress.com/item/Owni..._1&btsid=a03fbe69-3548-4524-a414-3181e4069883
Have a Octacore A53 more Performance like the Intel ???
Knows anyone anything about the Processor manufactor ???
best regards
Stephan
MT = MediaTek
A53 is a pretty weak core. Better than those crappy rockchip, but won't be anything close to the intel.
Yes i think A53 is a good choice. Its a 64 bit CPU.
But MediaTek has no MT3562 CPU !!!
anyone order this? i have not seen anyone with a 6.0 device yet
I will wait for the Octa core from Ownice. Andi1203 http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=601422 has the new Pumpkin with 6.0 and is happy with this.
Is there any benchmarks on the A53 vs Intel vs the T3 Quad core? I'm so lost at all these HU's is there a WIKI readers digest of all the **** going on with these HU's
I think the new 2GB intel joying with 5.1.1 makes 21000 points at antutu. In the Joying Thread has anywhere make this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69640816&postcount=48
But another one had 24000 with Joying RK3188 1GB
I Think that the intel Atom wasent a good idea. i have it in my dual OS tablet and it is slow at 3GB RAM.

Ownice threads are in the Android Auto General section.
MTC is the developer of all MTC units and Ownice is a manufacturer, no MTC devices have MTK processors, and if your unit is branded as "Ownice" its deffo not an MTC unit (MTCD is a type of MTC unit).

System Settings --> About.
But more generally, ALL current MTC devices will either have a Rockchip RK3188 SoC, or an Intel SoFia x3-C3230RK.
No MediaTek. So this Ownice is definitely NOT an MTC.
MTC is the not so much the manufacturer (although I think that they do manufacture some), but mainly the designer of the MTC devices (i.e., schematics and firmware). About a dozen different manufacturers build their designs.

Sorry, youre right, as I said somewhere else today, MTC is the developer not the manufacturer - post edited.

Theyre deffo NOT MTC, so no MTC ROMs will work on it as Ownice is in the title they are Ownice units.
Ask the seller for a pic of the settings/about device screen, or Ownice if they make any MTK devices.
Both links you gave say the devices are MT processors, one would assume they mean "MTK" ie Mediatek.

Perhaps as a manufacturer, but their SoC's ***part numbers*** follow the MTxxxx pattern;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaTek#Hexa-core.2C_octa-core_and_deca-core
This is a bit of a necro post, but I'm researching this stuff right now. From what I read, the clock speeds listed on the Ownice site make it seem more like an MT6752. Either way, the benchmarks seem to be a lot faster than the Sofia.

Ownice (Ow!Nice!) is a manufacturer's (WinLink Technology Limited.) brand. Ownice c200 has Rockchip SoC. C300 has AC 83xx (MediaTek - AutoChips) SoC. etc.
Ownice c300 and Maisun MT 9932 has same SoC and firmware. The only big difference is MainUI. You can flash both firmware to each other.

What's in the C500?
Hi everyone,
I'm looking to buy my first HU and after reading the forums for a while I'm undecided what to pick.
It looks like the Intel Sofia platform is the current recommendation - it comes with 2gb, the CPU is powerful enough and it has some support for fastboot. However from what I can tell there's no custom ROM for it (Malaysk is only for RK3x88 series) which is kinda of a big minus for me (since one is at the mercy of the seller).
Am I missing something? From what I can tell the RK3188 and Sofia CPUs are more or less identical in terms of performance, the RAM being the big difference.
I'm looking for stability (not going to play games or videos on the HU - I just want waze and probably the radio) first so a slower, older CPU with a solid community and ROM behind it fits my list.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Theres no "current recommendation", its all down to personal opinion. The Sofia units are ok (both MTCD and "009" versions), so are the Rockchip RK3188 MTCB/C/D ones which bring the benefit of custom ROMs. The Rockchip ones dont come with 2GB as standard and (in Lollipop guise at least) they need it, but that can be added relatively easily. However, the latest MTCD versions and Klyde's versions (probably MTCC but no ones sure at the mo) use the octacore Rockchip PX5 (RK3368) so should offer better performance than the Sofia or RK3188 units.
Your only option for custom ROMs at least at the moment are the RK3188 units. Another benefit of the MTCB/C type is that theres a particularly good audio mod that gives control of the audio chip to Android, although youd have to be able to solder to do it.

Thanks for the reply. Soldering extra RAM is not something I can do easy - I lack expertise and getting hardware in EU tends to be expensive and slow; I'd much rather pay extra (and wait) to have it built in the factory.
I'll keep an eye on the RK3368 boards.
Any idea whether these would be ROM friendly ?

I m in the EU and I got my RAM for about $30 in the group buy, theres a thread open at the mo, they took 3 days to arrive. It would just be a case of finding somewhere to do the soldering for you, thats what most people have done.
If the Klyde PX5 units are MTCC it should mean that anyone with an MTCB or MTCC unit currently could simply change their SoM for a PX5 one, we just dont know yet (the original MTCB units were dual core RK3066 and a lot of people just upgraded their SoMs to the quadcore RK3188). Well, we dont know until someone buys one - theyve been on sale since November, but if they are MTCC an upgrade to a PX5 would be possible if you bought an MTCB or C RK3188 and upgraded the RAM, then youd be able to sell your RK3188 SoM with 2GB RAM as it would be quite sort after due to the extra RAM . . IF theyre MTCC that is.
All that may be a bit long winded for you but at least youd have access to a custom ROM as you wanted with the possibility of upgrading in the future to a version that is more likely to have support from current MTCB custom ROM makers (I m assuming theyd eventually upgrade to PX5 units themselves and start making ROMs for them).
Or you could just buy a Klyde PX5 unit now and have the most up to date unit, but with no custom ROMs support yet :

If I sound MTCB/C biased, well I have 2 so I am. But from what I ve read the Sofia MTCD and 009 units are good too and at least theoretically easier to make a custom ROM for because Intel release their source code, unlike Rockchip. But no custom ROMs exist as yet.
Thanks again!

Klyde's unit indicates support for Android 6.0.1 while Intel's on 5.x and most MTCB on 4.x. Reading the forums I thought a MTCD board is required for android 5.x but it looks like that might not be the case - I guess in the end it depends on the manufacturer.
Btw, I read that one nice thing about Sofia is the fastboot feature which is not present on RK31xx/30xx units - not sure whether this is SoM or MCU specific. Do you have this feature on your units?
I like your idea about using an existing, tried-out platform (RK3188) with upgraded ram and custom ROM - it was my initial plan but the whole prospect was off putting.
I'll ask around to see how complicated/expensive would be to do the soldering.
Cheers,

Lollipop has been out for MTCB/C for about a year, this applies to ALL manufacturers and all RK3188 units, Klyde are the only ones who do Lollipop ROMs but the ROM can be used on ANY MTCB/C RK3188 device because they all use the same SoM. Some people find it laggy (I dont) but the 2GB RAM sorts that. Boot time is 20 - 30 seconds depending on what ROM you use, but there is no specific fast boot feature.
I did a group buy as ordering just 2 modules is expensive, but read the second RAM group buy thread in the MTCB hardware mod section and pm the guy who did it I think there may be some left.
Hi there guys and girls. I'm pretty much new to this forum, and it felt like this is the right place to ask a question (forgive me if i sound dopey, I'm here dying during my nightshift).
Here is the issue. 2 years ago I bought a non branded head unit form ebay (not stocked anymore). I thought to myself that since its an android - it would be pretty easy to update them if needed. I was wrong. I have seen many threads about other head units (something to do with the MCU being MTCD or something similar), however mine is a bit different - I'm going to try and provide as much details as I have at the moment:
System:
Android version 4.4.4
build: rkpx3-eng 4.4.4 KTU84Q eng.w.20160731.114755 test-keys
Hardware:
4-core RK30board
Device:
model: rkpx3
On the unit itself the things are as follows
CPU: Cortex-A9 QuadCore
GPU3D: Mali-400 MP4
MCU Version: FY_60_C6R_7706_5008_CAN(NULL)
DVD Version: R-86C-096I-NC-NP-1.0-PI2
BT Version: GOCBC8 V1.0
It has no brand names or model numbers on the box, manual, on the unit itself nor even on the mainboard (I took it apart only hoping to find anything on the board itself as there's nothing else).
My questions is - can I possibly install any updated software on this piece of chinese art? I'm happy to provide any other details if needed and I can find them of course, and I would really really appreciate any help.

Suggest simply replacing this old unit with a recent and probably not much better unit, just to get updates which don't usually address any significant bugs.
Yep, it's not a Samsung. The mfg is the one who needs to provide updates and most never ever do. Think of it like a phone, how often do you get a new one of those? Of course most of them do provide updates unlike these units.
