Beta 3.4
Updated librtmp.so to make more streams work (Thanks RedPenguin).
Changed default OSD button to Play/Pause instead of Subtitles.
Updated all Addons.
Hopefully Fixed Controller settings in OUYA version.
Minor Bug Fixes.
Beta 3.3
Updated Common Plugin Cache to hopefully fix the few having problems.
Updated Metadata TheMovieDB plugin.
Beta 3.2
Removed build.prop check completely (Thanks kandilak).
Fixed some remote control key bindings on non-standard remotes (Thanks alexagr).
Updated SuperRepo.
Added Fanart Slideshow option to Screensavers.
Removed Language button from OSD keyboard. It will be back in Gotham.
Brought back OpenGL Spectrum Visualization as an option.
Beta 3.1
Fixed missing dependencies.
Updated Subtitles.
Beta 3
Here is a list of some of the changes since Beta 2.9.
Fusion, Xfinity and Mashup sources are included by default. SuperRepo also included.
1Channel, Much Movies HD and Youtube are preinstalled and configured. I have included my own proxy to get around the 1Channel block in the UK, just select it from the 1Channel settings if you need it.
Lyrics, Subtitles, XBMC Backup, Missing Movie Scanner and Key Editor are installed and configured.
Main screen now has the Karaoke option and also has the Karaoke plugin installed and set up.
Option to use MX Player as the playback device in context menu (Local and Streams only, SMB does not work)
Family screen will now have main menu plus 2 sub menus (Animation and HD Family) which will auto populate as you add your Movies. The main Family menu contains only Family and Animation Genres, the Animation sub menu contains only Animation Genre and the HD Family sub menu contains only HD films of Family and Animation Genres.
Videos will only show the needed sub menus as sources are added to the Library(Movies, TVShows, etc).
Pictures now has a Slideshow sub menu and links to the backgrounds folder as an example.
The default layouts of each Window have been altered to use what looks best in my own opinion. You can set what you want afterwards.
Music Playback will now animate fanart automatically once you have some.
New cache settings which hopefully will be more compatible for everyone.
Update all addons.
Various other tweaks and changes.
Beta 2
Ok, here we go. Quite a few fixes and I have not had time to fully test all of it.
Fixed remote control movement in on screen keyboard.
Fixed context menu on long click of mouse/airmouse.
Added Fusion and Xfinity.
Changed RssFeed to BBC World News.
Changed Icons.
Changed Music Wallpaper.
Added Keymap Editor to Programs.
Added advancedsettings for cache.
Updated all addons.
Various other bug fixes.
Beta 1
Hardware Decoding
Mouse wheel support
New Graphics (Not finished yet)
A fully customizable version of Confluence skin as default. All other skins removed. (If you want it faster then enable minimum spec option in skin settings)
Audio offset by 250 ms to fix audio lag.
SuperRepo Included.
All addons brought up to date.
Install Instructions
Just install it like any other APK now with whatever build.prop you like.
If 720P does not work for you then this is not meant for your hardware. It was tested on RockChip Devices but appears to work on a lot of others.
Launcher version is only for roms that don't have a system bar. Auto hide function in any rom hides everything except anything classed as a launcher so it will show system bar if used on a normal rom. You could always rename SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.old and it will remove the bar completely but I don't advise it unless you know what you are doing.
It takes a long time on first run (about 2 minutes) while it sets everything up. The screen will go black and then it will go thru a few backgrounds, Just wait it out. It will launch normally after the first time.
If you find that the Interface it too slow on your device then go to Skin Settings and under "General" click on "Enable Minimum Specifications Settings".

Here is a test version for OUYA users only. This should enable smooth HD playback for OUYA users where the normal version doesn't but some old SD content might not work.

I've always been on xda mate and have my own roms released here. I just post on freaktab because that's where everyone is with these stick/box's. Xda is dead with these devices.
Glad you're enjoying it mate.

I have to say though Freaktab has a bit more freedom and tolerance level, you can get smashed up here in XDA for giving an opinion .
The sticks are going to be very Mainstream pretty soon, the Chinese manufacturers need standardize a bit and be more consistent and open. They fear being copied and yet all they do is copy around.
The overall "Android Stick Computers" may need a Freaktab moderator, that way no rights would be disturbed and a proper list of roms for devices would make it even in a single thread.

I've never been afraid to give my opinion
As for the copying going on I don't even take much notice of it. You have companies like Minix who are purposely going against GPL 2 and releasing custom versions of XBMC locked to their devices and wont supply the source code. They wouldn't get away with that on XDA for a second. The only thing I can do is inform people of their tactics and advise them against supporting them.

Problem on EVOLVEO Smart TV box Q4
Hi!
Yesterday evening i installed on my box the Beyond XBMC Beta 3.3.
On first run it seems all normaly. But if the startup process was finished and the menu appearing if i choose something the app goes black and nothing..
I waited 5 min and after i go back to home screen. try start again but only black screen.
After reboot i click on app icon it comes a black screen and immadietly close.
I can't start. Only after if i delete the user data and cache for application is possible to start again.
I try'd to "Enable Minimum Specifications Settings". One time i turned successfully this option, but after go back to menu frozen again...
Any idea?
Thankseter

I have absolutely no idea why it would do this for you. I have installed this on over 10 different bits of hardware and it worked on every one for me (except the amlogic playback but I knew that wouldn't work). There are loads of posts over on freaktab also and no one has brought up anything similar. The first install does take a long time and you have to wait it out but after that it should launch quick.
Lets try and find out what is different for you. What machine is it? What OS is it running? What chipset is it?

Now that should work for you perfect. It is basically the same device as most of mine.
Which beta did you download, the normal one or the launcher version?

Hi!
The normal version.
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app

Hi people, I discovered this version a short time ago, and I've to say it's the best I had trying ever. I strongly recommend to all of you to try it.
But only have a doubt, I can't do the "extrafanart thing" work, I mean, while I am selecting a chapter in a TV show, show a slideshow of different fanarts... I look for in all the settings and not find how it works. Can anybody help me? I hope you can understand me... My English level is awful . Thank you all, and specially for the developer for such a great job!

Reply to myself...
I connected the ZERO Devices Z4C Quattro to the computer as Massive Storage, copied the APK directly by USB and installed successfully from there.

Nice version of xbmc and lets hope this fixes my py errors in some addons.

I don't know why the official gotham version isn't up to scratch, but mate, you saved the day! The entire purpose of my buying the MK908 was to get XBMC on it. When the videos started lagging with the official version, I thought my money and efforts were wasted. But YOU SAVED THE DAY!
Any ideo how to get the media center remote working with MK908.

Smartwatch K2 W100/Star Kingelon K2 Android 4.2 MTK6572 Builtin Camera, Gear Clone?

Detailed "Unboxing" and my first hands on (Samsung Galaxy Gear Watch clone/replica)
(You can find more reviews on my Youtube channel, I have also tested another smartwatch called PW305)
MEGA Review 30 minutes
Model name?
The Smartwatch K2 W100 has many names in the internet. It is also known as Ansmart Swatch Universal Smart Watch, Star Kingelon K2 or Star E2602. They may differ in little bit in the software. But the one I got has weather for the whole world, full keyboard and a lot of languages.
From where did you get your version of the watch?
If your interested in this watch, check the info in the video description (in the unboxing video in the top) on Youtube.
Before I can say if this watch is good or not, I have to test it some more. But the design and materials are very close to the real Samsung Galaxy Gear. My first impression of it was "wow" because it offers really many features and options. Like full Android 4.2.2 OS, built-in camera, radio, wifi, bt, ftp, music player etc. But of course the watch is just a nice toy.
Bluetooth Keyboard
I can pair my BT keyboard with the watch, and then I can use that to type. Works perfect! also I can with no problem disable the BT keyboard again if not needed in the settings of the watch. Just like on any other normal phone.
ROOT?
It can be rooted very easy and fast with http://www.shuame.com/en/root/ (Root Genius tool).
This should be pretty safe, and even after a factory reset of the watch, it will still be rooted. But still you do this by your own risk!
Play Store?
The watch doesnt come with the Play store, but I managed to install the Play store myself on the watch and it works 100% without errors. But it requires ROOT. Also I have installed Aptoide (alternative app store). I have tried Google Music app, Temple Run 1, Antutu and Flappy Bird, all these works great. I even got Youtube and Facebook to work!
Steps how to install the Play Store
(Batterylife without any Gapps installed is really good, but as soon you install Gapps it will reduce batterylife dramatic.)
1. Root the watch using http://www.shuame.com/en/root/
2. Download the GoogleInstallerR.apk here http://www.mediafire.com/download/9lunc7lw7c34ca0/GoogleInstallerR.apk
3. Download also this one http://www.mediafire.com/download/m00z1385acthrdm/Gapps-s7yler.rar
4. Copy "GoogleInstallerR.apk" to the watch, install it on the watch, after that you need to run the app from the app drawer on the watch called "GoogleInstaller" and check or install all the Gapps. You can also install the Play Store with that one, maps, gmail, etc.
5. If the Play Store can be startet and works for you then your good! If not or if the Play Store crashes or gives error then, unpack the Gapps-s7yler.rar (from step 3) and install first the "Google Account Manager APK" file on the watch after that also install the "GooglePlay.Installer(ALL-Colors).apk" on the watch, when that one is installed you need to run "Installer cracked Google Play" from the app drawer, inside the app choose "Modded Google Play Original Style", and then press the button "Install and Reboot".
6. After a fresh reboot, try the Play Store (maybe you need to sign in) again and it should work without errors or problems!
Firmware/ROM
http://www.needrom.com/mobile/kingelon-swatch-k2/
Specifications:
- MTK6572, Cortex A7 dual core, 1.2GHz
- GPU: Mali-400
- ROM 4GB / RAM 512B (about 1.1Gb internal memory usable)
- Full colour touch screen 320 x 240 pixels
- Wallpapers can be changed
- Volume & ringtone control
- Pedometer
- Phonebook
- LED notifications
- Real Android OS 4.2.2
- Weather for the whole world
- Customizable clocks
- Customizable UI / color or simple
- Gesture shortcuts
- Built-in Camera (5 mp) / video & pics
- Bluetooth FTP transfer
- With speaker & mic
- Music player (local and remote)
- It has Developer's options and USB Debugging
- Antilost & find my device
- Works only together with an Android smartphone (has no simcard built-in).
- The original Gear only works for Samsung phones, this one works for almost all Android phones!
Some few cons:
I would wish that the screen on the K2 was a little bit bigger, the PW305 has a bigger screen but overall the same size
The viewing angle on the screen from the sides, or in horizontal mode is not that good, straight front it is good
The lens on the camera is just put on with some tape, you may glue it on better
Speaker quality is not the greatest, but it is okay
While you have a conversation, and you need to use the dialer, it can lag a little bit
The "hang on" button after a conversation can also sometimes lag a little bit
Not all Play Store games or app will work, some work other don't
The "gesture auto screen on" does not always work for me
The bluetooth range could be a lot better, seems only to be 4-5 meters max
Batterylife without any Gapps installed is really good, but as soon you install Gapps it will reduce batterylife dramatic.
Antutu score
7400 pretty nice for a watch
Antutu tells me that it has these sensors
Temperature Sensor
Pressure Sensor
Ambient Temperature Sensor
E-Compas
Acceleration Sensor
Direction Sensor
Relative Humidity Sensor

Here a Video sample/test done by the built-in camera in the watch. You can only do small clips in 15 to max 300 seconds. The video quality is not high, but it is possible to see what it is, and of course it is with sound

Push notifications
Does this watch show all push notifications on your smartphone?
Does it show complete push messages or just say "you have xxx notifications on Skype or yahoo messenger or whatever?

I saw your excellent instructions but can any one post the watch apks for the most common apps like:
1. Gmail
2. Facebook
3. Twitter
4. Instagram
Etcetera... I'd rather just manually push the apks to the watch and install them one-by-one. If there is a repository of watch apps somewhere please do let me know. BTW, I started in Android with the first Android phone (T-Mobile G1) and have rooted and worked on a dozen or more phones since then so I'm not a noobie to this, just getting lazy in my old age!
So far I have this watch, another Gear clone thats just a Bluetooth watch and both the Sony SW1 and SW2. I just ordered another from Electrofame.com so I'm pretty hooked on these little devices!
Thanks!!!!

Ok thnx I will take a look, btw. how is your batterylife? Seems mine is rather poor but only when connected via BT and WiFi. Thinking, if there is a way we can extend the batterylife a bit?
EDIT: nevermind, I found out it must be because of the Gapps I have installed. Without all the Gapps and Gps/Location on (I am now only logged into the Play Store) I suddenly get super battery life again.
Now after 10 hours! I am still on 70% battery with both WiFi and BT on.

Have you set it up correctly inside the SWatchManger app on the phone?
Settings>Notifications>Advanced>Must enable Advanced Notification
After that
Settings>Notifications>Advanced>More notification and check the apps you want notifications from.

Not receiving any push notifications either. SW manager is set up correctly.
Any ideas?

if your on the older rom clear the app data and cache, i had to do this constantly. if your on the new rom delete swatch manager and send the one on your watch to your phone.

Basic FAQ's​As this grows I will sort this into targeted groups​
How do I pair it with an iPhone?
Turn on BT, scan and pair with "X1NC" or "X1"
Why can't I get all notifications sent from my iPhone?
That's a very good question which Apple has ignored regarding any smartwatch but theirs. In short, it's an Apple thing
(something goes here)
Can I use it as a speaker/mic for my phone?
No, the firmware does not support it. This means apps won't help either
Where's the Android companion app?
Right here> Watch Helper Companion app download page
How can I select which app I get notifications for on Android?
Open the Watch Helper app on your phone. Check the "Notification for app message", then tap on "Select Notification.." to select the app you want to receive notifications for
Can I reply to texts when using it as a companion?
No, it not supported
Can I read and reply to emails when using it as a companion?
No, it's not supported. A workaround is to install an email app on the watch and use BT Tethering
Where's the remote camera feature?
Never came with one. There are a couple apps that sort of work but have display formatting issues.
How long does the battery last?
Depends on how it's used and how heavy your use is. As a companion up to four days is possible. As a standalone up to two days possible.
Does it work with my carrier?
The device supports 2G GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 and 3G 850 / 2100. Check with your carrier to see if they support those frequencies and if you have coverage in your area.
Why can't I get a working cellular connection?
Usually it's because the APN is wrong. (i'll finish this answer later)
Can I use a third party app like Google Fit for heart rate readings?
No, the device appears to not support third party apps reading the sensor.
Can I install Wear apps?
No
Can I replace the strap?
For the average person *No.
Can I replace the battery?
*No
Can I sync my steps and heart rate data with my phone like the marketing says I can?
At this time there has been no answer to this from any manufacturer and no method has been found
How come the voice input on the stock keyboard doesn't work?
The stock keyboard directly uses "SpeechKB" which uses a China based service that is unavailable to most users outside of China
Why won't the weather app update?
The weather app requires that WiFi be on. Not connected to anything, just turned on.
How come I'm not getting these OTAs folks are talking about?
The OTA service and server seems to have some serious issues. The recommendation is to wait til a full flashable version is released.
Why won't my screen turn on when I get a notification?
It's turned off by default but there is a setting in the Watch Helper app on the phone to enable this.
My watch won't vibrate when I get a message, help!
Open the Watch Helper app on the watch and make sure "vibrate" is checked
Is there some way to use a gesture to answer a call?
Yes. In Settings > Device Management > Call > Other Settings there is a "shake to answer" option.
*For those with good soldering skills, and understanding of RF and patience- check Advanced FAQs

Advanced FAQ's​
I have me some skills, can I replace the bands?
Maybe. Band replacement requires one of two things. The first thing is that you be able make bands that you can embed the antennas into. This limits the materials you can use to leather, cloth, and synthetic materials like polyurethane. The second thing is to embed the antennas in the case itself, preferably between the battery and display. It can be done but will have a noticeable effect on signal reception.
I have tools, time and skills. So what about replacing that battery?
Yes. It does require a bit of patience but it can be done. (i will update this answer with battery dimensions and possible guide at a later date)

I'm opening this thread just to gather all that we know about those watches that have exactly the same SOC. What we have now are different threads were people seldom post and contribute, so I'm going to post what I have. Please contribute what you can even just to post the daily behaviour of your watch.
There is another thread where people have been posting about the Ourtime X01s but it has passed long time since we saw the OP so the first post isn't updated at all. https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm...ourtime-x01s-3g-smartwatch-phone-1gb-t3469741

- ROMs
Nowadays we know that there are 2 versions of the watch. The one with 3 sensors and the one with only one sensor. It seems that the maker wants to use the 3 sensors as the TenFifteen and the one sensor as the Ourtime X01s, but made a mistake and mixed them. So late in 2016 if you bought a Ourtime X01s you could get one of these:
- Watch with 3 sensors, metal back cover.
- Watch with 1 sensor, plastic back cover.
The back is to be confirmed but I don't have enought reports just to state that. At first, the maker put the same ROM in all of them so if your warch is a 1 sensor one and has the 3 sensor ROM you have a watch with a terrible use of battery, the CPU never deepsleep and it gets very hot. If your watch is a 3 sensor one with the one sensor ROM it works fine but has 2 sensors locked.
Unfortunately I got a watch with one sensor that the stupid chinese put the 3 sensor ROM so it doesn't work as you can expect. Don't know the other people, but in my case I'm totally sure that simply loading the correct ROM the watch will work as expected. Update 04/06/2017: Now I'm totally sure that I was right, because I got a 1 sensor ROM and my watch works like a charm. Continue reading....
I know at least 4 ROMs released:
- Aug 29 2016 <- 3 sensors one and came loaded in all the TenFifteen units (not rooted) (Thanks to @VaderMaul) https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4oAJ0VFTbAFajd3X0U4UGpKcG8
- Oct 22 2016 <- 3 sensors one and came loaded in some Ourtime X01s (already rooted) https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4oAJ0VFTbAFSjZXZmtyYXFZV0E
- Dec 16 2016 <- 1 sensor came loaded in Ourtime X01s (Not rooted, chinese version, no play store) (Thanks to @bigkay) https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4oAJ0VFTbAFYWJBcDJOWGJ0VkU
- Dec 16 2016 <- 1 sensor. I managed to clean the chinese app's from the ROM and install google services (already rooted, google services working, no chinese app's) https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4oAJ0VFTbAFQkV1SVBBYjYxeGM
- Jan 12 2017 <- 1 sensor (to be confirmed)
Searching for the other releases especialy the 1 sensors ones. If you have one of these please try to help because having the 2 versions all the people could fix the issues that are having with his watches.
Read this advice carefully....
At this point it could happend the following:
- Your watch is a 3 sensors one with the ROM of one sensor. If this is the case, simply loading my ROM your watch will unlock the other 2 sensors and all will work perfect. Lucky you....
- Your watch is a 1 sensor one with the correct ROM. If you load my ROM the other 2 sensors won't work (because they doens't exist) and it will start working bad, having a terrible use of the battery and never sleeping the processor. In this case, you need to download the 1 sensor ROM to turn it back.... if you have a watch with this behaviour from factory, be sure that it came with a wrong ROM. Download the 1 sensor one and give a life to your watch....
You can see the sensors that reports your watch with some apps like cpu-z or sensors test.
- How to make a backup of your watch's ROM:
Make a copy of the ROM doesn't take more than 30 minutes and the watch is not in danger of break or stop working. If you do a copy, please be careful of not share the nvram.bin file or send me the ROM for clean it up and don't share your personal data.
Whatever are you going to do with you watch, you will need the MTK drivers. Download them here https://androidmtk.com/download-mtk-usb-all-drivers (last version at the end of the page)
If your device is not rooted:
You would find a complete step by step guide here: https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-526.html You don't need to do the first part of the guide "build the scatter file" . Download it here instead https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4oAJ0VFTbAFbmtiaEJoMmJtMWc and go to the "launch SP Flash Tools" part. It works in W10
If your device is already rooted:
You could follow the guide above or you would find a complete guide here with another method: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730031 On youtube you will find lots of videos also. It works in W10. In fact all my backups are made under W10.
If MTK Droid Tools is not able to see your watch, you need to edit just a file. Do step by step this guide and your watch would be recognized straight. Sorry the guide is in Spanish but may be you can use google to translate all the entire page https://www.hell-desk.com/android-debug-bridge-y-dispositivos-usb-no-encontrados/ .
When you got the copy of the ROM please share here and I'll post in the first post in order to complete the ROM's set.

- Custom recovery:
I have been unable to make the CWM recovery with MTK Droid tools. It gives an error and I can't continue. In other hand, I have been able to make a TWRP Recovery. Unfortunately it is bigger in bytes than the original one so to load it to the watch is necesary to modify the scatter file and I haven't enought knoledge to do this. I left the file in my drive if someone whants to try. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4oAJ0VFTbAFeXozaThHNDR2c00

Where did you get the twrprecovery.img file?
To install twrp.img use flashify.apk (Google Play)

My watch also runs at 1 GHz and it deep sleeps no problems, it even wakes once you tap the screen in deep sleep, battery lasts for seven to eight days in flight mode used as a watch only. The rom has a build date Dec 13 2016.

'My watch also runs at 1 GHz and it deep sleeps no problems, it even wakes once you tap the screen in deep sleep' that's true. I use the clock with wifi, gps, bluetooth, facebook, messenger, twitter, dolphin, link2sd, l-call, maps, navigator, runtastic, shaketolock, snap camera hdr, etc ... less than 1 day of battery usage (like any cell phone). My build number x01s_v1.1.
any news about custom recovery?

Which brand is your watch? Ourtime or Tenfifreen? In some time nobody has reported this build. Known is the 29 August build and 22 October. The first one is from a TenFifteen and the other one is from a Ourtime. In fact this build is the one that is in the ROM in the first post. If you make a copy please share it. :good:

I think that we have exactly the same ROM but this doens'r work for me. Did you something special to make the deep sleep works? Just install the program and that's it? In my case I have tried changing lots of setting but no chance.

The watch doesn't has gesture itself. May be you can search for an app that use the accelerometer to do that. I don't like this feature because is a battery drainer but try it yourself....

Premier AN-740 (witson w2-k7xxx) info. thread

After a lot of searching here and elsewhere I was not able to find a unit that matches these parameters. The unit was branded as Premier AN-740 which is obviously just a sticker label. Any help with identifying this unit will be greatly appreciated.

Update #3: ROOT!
I was able to root my device using the procedure outlined here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/android-head-units/ownice-c500-root-t3558760
Using the longer password and with some minor command line alterations (see screenshot here https://ibb.co/njSw5q). Hope this helps someone.
My next goal is to get to the factory settings. If anyone gets the code for that please post it here.

head unit info
Hello, it seems that I have the same head unit. Mine is unbranded and it's shaped to fit a 2008 suzuki swift, however all the codes seems the same.
What I got until now is that 8888 is the boot logo code selection and I can access to the engineering mode menu by dialing *#*#3646633#*#*
I'm trying to perform a factory reset because I accidentally delete the "su" executable and I cannot access it anymore even with the password, howevere there is a factory reset password that I can't find on the net. The next step will be trying to access the "RST" button and check what it does.

Hi Mr. Purple,
Thanks for your code

I can confirm that it works for me as well. I was not however able to locate the FM Radio settings I was looking for (let me know if you find those).
Good luck with the factory reset, and let us know how it turned out.

Updates
I have some news:
The actual model seems to be the witson w2-k7xxx (in which xxx is the code of the shape of the front panel, mine is w2-K7658).

I managed to access the system menu with the code 3711 and here there are the FM settings!
Here follows what I discovered by trying and trying again and searching on the net:
CODES (to be inserted in Settings > software version > small gear icon near HMI):
3711 -> factory settings
8888 -> boot logo settings
6666 -> a chinese text that reports "no update files where found" appears (probably the update code)
7777 -> a chinese text that reports "no update files where found" appears (probably the update code)
0 -> MCU update page
How to access the engineering mode:
dial *#*#3646633#*#*
How to access the firmware update page:
Click the RST button
touch the screen (and move your finger) until a writing appear on the top left
if a binary file is present in the root of the SD card, then the update begins
How to perform a factory reset: (/system partition is left unchanged, only user data is wiped)
Click the RST button
touch the screen with five fingers (and move them) until a writing appears on the top left
The factory reset procedure will begin. It lasts for 10 minutes
I mailed witson for a firmware update (in order to override the /system partition and restore the su executable) but they ask me for a serial number that is written on the unit. I will disassemble it in a couple of days and if I manage to get this update, I will post it there. However it seems that each model has its own custom firmware that supports only one button layout. If I flash a firmware of the same family (w2-k7xxx) but from a different model, the buttons may not work.
Maybe you can find your own model on witson website

Wow man, you've really been busy! I'm definitely going to try out those codes and knowing who the manufacturer is will help as well. The user interface here definitely looks familiar, though I'm a bit confused as to how you were able to discover the XXX code in the W2-K7XXX part number of your unit. In any case thanks again for all the info and keep us updated, especially if you manage the much needed firmware update...

Well, my HU has the panel that fits only in the 2008 suzuki swift, so I used the search engine on their site to look for "Suzuki Swift" and there I got the part number!
However if you have a standard panel maybe you can go in product page, then on the left column select "+ For Universal All-in-one" and see if one of the model is the one you own. In that page I see only 4 Android 6.0 headunit: W2-K7900G, W2-K7927G, W2-K7902 and W2-K7924 (I can't send link because I'm new on XDA, but you can easily find them)
From the photos you posted, it seems that your HU is the W2-K7927G

Yes, I think so too ( Link for anyone interested). It would be nice to be able to confirm that this is indeed the exact model before we attempt a firmware update as flashing the wrong firmware is almost guaranteed to brick the unit (i'll try to search for th exact P/N in the "hidden" menus). Besides, now that I have all these secret menus to play with, maybe I can fix the problems I experience without a firmware update. The biggest two issues are speaker noise while idling (even when radio and music player are off) and waaay too jerky FM reception (unit is constantly trying to find a better frequency for the current station - I was told that I need to lower the FM sensitivity in the technician menu to fix that). If I can fix these two issues, I can definitely live without a F/W update. Did you experience any of these issues or is it just my particular model / unit?

yes, the idle background noise is too loud too on mine. The reception seems fine, just a little worse than the suzuki stock radio definitely usable. However if you find a solution for both, I think I will try it too! At the moment I'm stuck to solve the "su" problem!

sorry to hear that.
i assumed the factory reset took care of the SU problem.

Other updates

Unfortunately the factory reset only reset the user partition, but the /system partition is left unchanged.
However after two weeks of mails, I finally got a firmware update binary from Witson.
I don't know if it's compatible to your radio, however i mailed to [email protected], they asked me for a product code placed on top of my Head unit and then sent me the update after I provided the code.
Here a picture of the location of the product code on my unit (it's the top side of the box):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Maybe you can ask for a firmware too with your serial and then we can check if it's the same file.
Now I'm trying to fixing a network bug that made my cellular network connect to a roaming operator (TIM) instead of my operator (three) due to a wrong priority assignment.

As always nothing but helpful information from MrDeepPurple (seen them in concert not too long ago hehe). I feel kind of ashamed for not contributing anything.

I plan to take apart the center console in my car during this weekend so I'll be sure to check for that code - in addition to a few other things I've been saving for this event such as debugging that horrible background noise we talked about. I plan to disconnect the HU from all peripherals one by one until I find the culprit. If the HU itself is generating that noise I'll need to rethink my strategy. As for the radio reception, I did find the radio sensitivity setting thanks to your help and lowering it did help a little, but it turns out I've been kind'a stupid not noticing how short the antenna the previous owner put on the car was. With that size it was physically impossible to get good reception, so I just ordered an OEM antenna from the car manufacturer and hope to be done with this problem. The moral of this, I think, is that even though this HU is pretty sh**ty, we shouldn't be so quick to blame everything on it as there are other components in the system. One thing to note to anyone fiddling with the system settings from the codes MrDeepPurple provided, be aware that saving the settings will RESET YOUR HOME SCREEN TO STOCK so if you want to try out different settings do it all in one go, otherwise you'll end up having to replace all your widgets and things to the way you like them about a zillion times.

It seems that the problems never end with this HU - is this bug due to the firmware update?
At this pace by the time we get them to perform adequately they will be outdated.
Anyways good luck and keep updating.

yes, this happens on a random OTA update I received a month ago. I didn't even know that this HU can have OTAs. However I'm not able to select network type (2G, 3G, 4G) anymore because the menu is greyed and instead it appeared a menù with PLMN editing. I didn't even know what a PLMN was before that.
However this menù is totally useless, the selection and the editing of PLMNs is resetted when you exit this menu. The PLMN which has the highest priority is TIM, then comes three UK (why uk? iI'm in italy!!). I read that there is a sqlite db accessible only with root permission that contains those informations so I need root to access it.

You contributed to find the correct way to root this HU that is the most useful information to me by now!! Thank you!

well, it seems that the root procedure doesn't work on mine.
After all the steps on Ownice C500 post (even with the short password on forfan executable and the long one with the su executable) it seems that the root doesn't work. When I try to run the su command on a terminal emulator it returns 1. It's a generic error code, so there should be something missing. However I'm not scared to test it now that I have the firmware update files.
Did you use the su executable in the Ownice C500 post?
Are the other file useless (libsupol.so, sukernel and supolicy) ?

so with the firmware update they also patched the system against rooting?
makes me think twice before updating...

Having performed the root two months ago I'm sorry to say I don't really remember much. However two things are clear from the screenshot (third post in this thread):
1. I used the longer password.
2. Only the actual su file is copied and given execution permissions.
Not sure what's the source of that 'su' executable but it's probably from the link given as I can't recall doing otherwise.

Today I received a new update binary, I will try to upload it soon and check if it solves my problem

I just buy and new android head Units is name DynaVin 2GB 16GB with 4gLTE .
The "Droid info" i get only 2 was difference from yours as below shown .
1)build number difference from 1510921099 mine 1511340754
2)build fingerprint difference 1510921099754 mine 1511340754
I Found 2 Bug
1) Minor Noisy Sound when in idle mode .
2) Waze Hang when using 4G Lte . Reseat 4G Card then be ok again
Anyone can provide some ideal ?

I think it's the same head unit, probably the differences are only on firmware release version

This is a common bug, schwrz was trying to solve that but it seems to affect all the radios with the MTK3561

I've never tried waze on it, only google maps and sygic and they both works fine! Well, sygic is a bit slow and laggy but still usable.

The main reason I've put Android in the car is be able too use Waze properly (i.e. no weird phone holding gadgets) so yes, I can confirm that Waze works fine on this HU. Otherwise I'd have replaced it long time ago.
As for the idle noise, I currently tend to think it's a hardware rather than software issue. I'm going to take apart the center console and see what's what as soon as I receive some parts I'm waiting for (for which I also need to take apart the center console - no sense in doing it twice). Will report my findings.
