Hi,
I have a RK3066 with the update Rom from Malaysk 4.4.4.
It works fine but the speed off the system can better. I also expect an improvement in the resolution.
I'am planning to buy a new radio with android 5.1 and RK3188.
What are the improvements?

Hi im an average user and i always have readed and followed instructions on xda forums.
Im looking forward to buying one P6 maybe P7 from huawei im amazed about the price specifications of the phones.
I also looked for honor 3C but i dont see it supported by xda-developer forums so i am trying to get some advices in this forum from some users / developers about their experience with huawei phones.
And also why are those phones not listed / supported other than the p6.
Have a good day and any comment is apprecieated.
[edit] Also good stables roms for P6 for everyday use =)
Both phones are excellent for the price, the build quality is very good.
Both P6 and P7 are very similar but for some reason there is no xda development for p7 so it'd that's important go for the p6
They are both beautiful phones!

I'm a quite happy everyday P6 user.
Huawei has recently released android kitkat for P6. The latest model P7 and P6 run now the same android version (kitkat 4.4.2) with the same user interface (Emotion 2.3 UI).
With previous firmware (jelly bean 4.2.2 + Emotion 1.6 UI, firmware U125 and U132) this phone was as solid as a rock. I've recently upgraded my P6 to the latest firmware (kitkat 4.4.2 + Emotion 2.3 UI) and found some minor glitches mostly IMHO related to Emotion UI: icons displayed twice, fixed by changing user interface theme; icon moved after app update. My experience is that Emotion 2.3 UI seems not yet as stable as previous version (1.6) but I could it's minor problems and the phone is definitely usable for an average use and I bet next update will fix these problems. In any case I'm satisfied and won't roll back to previous firmware.
In brief, if you have a P6:
Stock official roms U125 and U132 are excellent. Stay there if you're looking for absolute stability. I could root them easily and install anything I needed.
Latest stock official rom 510 is also very good. Go there if you're looking for latest system improvements. I couldn't root it at the moment it but I didn't try hard.
By the way P7 has a definitely better hardware. As far as I know P7 has:
a better display (higher resolution and pixel density; and this is awesome since P6 display is also excellent, I really love it);
a better main camera (13 megapixels vs 8);
a mounstrous front camera (8 megapixels vs 5);
twice the internal storage (16GB vs 8);
a better battery (2500 aAh vs 2000);
a faster processor;
maybe more sensors.
It's only a little a little larger (wider, taller, thicker and ... 4 grams heavier).
It's up to you to decide if the hardware improvements of P7 over P6 are worth the bigger price.

I feel also that the p7 is the option to go but i dont see it on the forum section and i wouldnt want some phone that will not be supported by this awesome team of xda developers. Since i dont have time to develop and test deploys for custom modifications
Have you tried cyanogenmod in the p6?
Thanks in advance for reading

P7 is better than P6 for sure. And some sort of developer space will come when there are more P7 users (and some developer like Surdu would request for it ).
I use a p6 and not really in a hurry to buy P7. Im waiting to see how Huawei's upcoming flagships Honor 6 and Ascend D3 turns out to be, and also strongly suspect Huawei will release a Kirin 920 chip version of P7.

No, I've not tried any custom ROM on p6, not yet.
As far as p7 is concerned, since it's certainly going to become one of the most sold huawei models, there's no reason why it shouldn't be supported by this forum once some developer will put his/her hands on it.
Is there a hardware reason why there aren't more recent android builds for them?
What newer features make it worth the effort to develop on newer versions? Battery life? - really? "Material design?" - meh. Multiple SIM card support? - huh? Fingerprint reader support? Android pay?
Maybe just a bigger number is better?

I agree with you.
Lollipop 5.0 is quite buggy, only 5.1.1 works decently, but it will give no practical benefits to a 1GB device.
And about Marshmallow 6.0, it has not yet been released even for many 2015 smartphone models, and its true advantages on a battery-less device would be questionable... and to enjoy the material design also the native launcher and apps will have to be redesigned.
Rockchip hasn't and probably wont release the SDK for Lollipop or above for RK3188 and RK3066 devices.
Hi,
Has anyone found videos available to see the installation for this unit? It mentioned that "Strong Radio Signal Receiver&Powerful Built-in Bluetooth Modem" , any advices? Thanks!!!

No advice really but it's a dual core processor with limited ram. Android 4.4 is pretty old as well. On the face of it there are better units out there. As a minimum is go for quad core, 16Gb, Android 4.4.4

As gk66 says, it's old stuff they are selling out. Go to their web-page and have a look at the new ones.
When they say Parrot Bluetooth, fine, but no improvement compared to the modified ones
here on XDA.
Hello everyone,
about a year ago I installed an RK3188 car radio in my Alfa Romeo 159.
From day one the performance of the radio was very bad. Especially when I just started the car.
Recently I learned there are upgrades available. Would this work on my device?
Current Radio:
From aliexpress:
Quad Core Android 5.1.1 Car DVD GPS for Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon Spider Brera with Mirror-link BT Wifi Radio
RS-6007C1
MTCD_KGL_V1.92a_5
Oct 13 2016 10:49:02
Android: 5.1.1
Upgrade:
From aliexpress:
WITSON Octa-Core +4GB RAM +32GB Flash PX5 Coreboard For Android DVD (Android 5.1 A5XXX upgrade to Android 6.0 B5XXX directly
Thanks!
Hello geertjan88,
I have upgraded last week my alfa 159 android HU (MTCDE KGL MCU firmware 2.47 and Android 5.1.1) to Witson PX5 4Gb + 32Gb Android 6.0.1.
The result is nice! New board much faster.
Attention for radio. On antenna input no phantom supply for antenna amplifier (in PX3 5.1.1. neither).
Have good project!
Hello Geertjan,
Did you already upgrade your alfa 159 HU? If so, did you experience any issues? Or was it more or less plug and play. I have the same unit (1gb android 5.1.1) which is really slow. A new unit with android 8.0 one will cost approx. 300€

Yes I have.
The screws from the px-5 board do not align correctly with the unit. So it was some fiddling to get it fit correctly. There is some tension on the px-5 board but it is working as it should.
Improvements:
Bootup time is shortened drastically
Device is immediately ready to use
Device feels really snappy and fast
Multiple apps running at the same time, no issue at all
Steering wheel buttons now work!! (didn't work before)
Problems:
WiFi does not always auto connect, have to go into settings and connect from there.
All and all, best 100 dollar i've spend in years.
Thanks (bedankt ) !
I have MX PX5, originally with Android 6 and some 2.x MTCD.
Gradually went through various ROMs and I now have Hal9k Mod v4 and MTCE MX v3.30 for about 2 years.
If I look for Firmware:
- v2.83 is what shops recommend (from the factory)
- v3.41 is what goes on the forums
I wonder does it really matters? Why are people always looking for MCU updates?

I believe the MCU is misunderstood.
Perhaps, for upgrading to a new ROM, or where you're missing a feature that others have - like device sleep - then updating the MCU makes sense.
Updating it for a higher number is pointless and likely to - as many others have proven - introduce new or previous bugs.
The factories that manufacture these units have almost no desire to fix bugs. The QA and coding is shyte.
