just want to know GPS in Hermes

The official rom for Hermes will comming soon. Is there GPS available in Hermes? This is because i have heard that there is a shipset inside Hermes which is the same as Trinity. Can anyone tell me ?

I believe the GPS development has ended since no one is willing to try or give out instructions to build an antenna becuase it might bricked or fried their phone just for the sake or GPS. Just get a mini bluetooth GPS receiver and put it into your pocket. You can then show it off to your friendshat you have a built-in GPS.

Still busy
Well, I am still busy to get an antenne in my TyTN. I'm looking for a company/repaircenter who is willing to modify my TyTN.
When I have fineshed my search I will report as soon as possible.

so instead of RTFM we now have RTFW ?
btw, it's not worth it, save the trouble and just get a stand alone bluetooth GPS for $80.

Why
Why isn't it worth it? Is it technaly not possible oris it just because of the money?
Post 268 is the thread you posted closes with: Not trivial, not easy, and IMHO not worth the cost of the phone.
I am from Holland and my English is not that good, but it read that it is possible, only with some risk. I am looking for a repaircenter. I know that they know what they are doing. I am searching for a company which has some intrest of modifying TyTNs.
Who knows it works... or not. We'll never know until someone is taking this chance.

no one know the exact pin out
no antenae
no one is willing to risk $500 device for a function that cost $80 to buy

The problem is that we do know the exact pinouts. It's in the GPS development thread. What we found out was that the GPSMix pins were deliberately grounded to follow Qualcomm's best practices for RFR6250 applications where the GPS is not used. Failure to ground the pins could fry the device or increase power consumption. Additionally, a software controlled LNA was critical to the project from a battery life perspective. Re-enabling the on board LNA that was software controlled through the [email protected] instruction set meant lifting 5 pins then building matching circuitry and constructing a seperate RF cage to hold everything.

@Sleuth
Do you have some advise when I speak to repaircenters about this modify? Can you make a list where we have to watch out for?
Do you think it is possible to make the antenna in the TyTN, technaly and physically?

@tembares: Yes, its possible but not trivial or inexpensive to do. You will have to be well versed in micro-circuitry soldering techniques and have some pretty good equipment at your disposal to lift the necessary pins w/o trashing your Hermes.
The GPS development thread contains most of the information that you will need. I don't think a repair center would take this mod on and it will for sure void your warranty.

Linage OS Support timescales

Hi,
does anyone know where there is a list of how long the project plans to support devices for??
Am looking for a new handset and the length of time that LinageOS plan on supporting a device could be a BIG factor in which bit of hardware to go for if i could only find this info.
anyone any recommendations for a budget device readily available on eBay (UK) that's likely to be supported for a while???
thanks, Paul.

Sorry, there is no list. Most devices are supported by a single person. If that person finds another hobby, support will stop.
So it depends on how much love a maintainer has for your phone. There are old flagship phones better than new budget devices. Best example: @haggertk and Samsung S5

So can I install it on my Yezz Art 2 pro?

Samsung Note 10 Demo Unit Info Request

Hi There I have scoured the XDA forums for up to date information on either the LDU S10 or Note 10 device range. Unfortunately there seems to be very little information on hand, which is unusual considering there are loads of threads about previous Galaxy S series LDUs and retail mode disabling.
If anyone has information about disabling retail mode on the current generation devices, your help is much appreciated.
Note: The password 5444 trick that used to work no longer does, which would allow factory reset and MDM removal. Now I don’t plan on taking a gamble using ODIN to try and flash stock N975F onto my N975X device for fear of bricking. I have successfully flashed S6 devices in the past but I’m a bit more reluctant with the lack of info on hand.
Any help is much appreciated, those of you who might be inclined to post ‘This is a retail device, you shouldn’t have it’ - I would politely state I bought this on ebay as a legitimate listing and would like to use it for Android Studio App development for my final year college project. I have used LDUs in the past as an access point to development on Android as my daily driver is iOS and I wanted to break away from Xcode for a different challenge. I do computer science and have a passion for smartphones so spending 1200€ to do App testing on a Note10 Plus is not an option when I paid similar for my daily driver.
To clarify when I say a ‘legitimate ebay listing’ - if I can purchase on ebay with my own money that is my business and clearly satisfies eBays user agreement. Thanks in advance, all info welcome.

Same here
Hey Stephen, Please let me know if you have any developments with this as I am in the same boat as you

Will do bud ?
Hopefully hear something soon.

2015 Genesis Ultimate Android Auto/Apple Carplay mod?

This is an ongoing project over at Genesis Forums and we seem to have come to a halt. Posting here to see if anyone can give us a hand.
Some background. Those who have purchased the Ultimate package for the Hyundai Genesis/Genesis G80 did not get the AA/CP update. 2018+ models did get the update. All other trims also got the update across all years. Hyundai claims the hardware is not compatible but that doesn't seem to be the case. So far, we have dumps of the 2015-2017 and 2018+ headunits but have made little progress. The 2018 firmware boots in the 2015 hardware but there's no audio. Installing the 2018+ headunit into a 2015 vehicle gets the same results as they've updated the amplifier in 2018.
We think we should be able to start with the 2018+ firmware and reroute the audio to the 2015-2017 amplifier, we should be good.
Here's the disk image for the 2015 https://xtremission.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Hyundai+Genesis+Radio/2015+Genesis.zip
And the image for the 2018 https://xtremission.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Genesis+G80+Radio/2018Genesis.zip
Someone also found the source code for the system. It's built on Meego

Original thread located here if you want more info.. https://genesisowners.com/genesis-forum/threads/2017-2018-radio-swap-in-2016-ultimate.27684/page-8
Another thread that may contain useful info. The user managed to get SSH access through the USB port. https://genesisowners.com/genesis-forum/threads/2015-ultimate-nav-research.16531/
We could definitely use the help as most of us over there aren't programmers... lol Some of us are but don't really have the time to put into it. I've been spending most of my time messing with Openpilot on the Genesis.

Hello.
I have been following the thread over on the Genesis forum and I wanted to share this post.
I was able to get CarPlay working in my Kia k900 using a third party kit. Maybe this is a avenue you might wish to take.

I've been looking for a way to run AA for far too long to quit now.
I have Zero knowledge when it comes to programming but would like to test and help however I can.
Is there a way to compile firmware with the old, amplifier-specific files?
Anybody tried swapping to the updated amplifier and see if it works?

Very laggy MTCD PX5

Hi all, I've got a PX5 (MX) in my Hyundai i30, unfortunately it's just very slow. Particularly swiping to type. I know my one only has 2gb of ram, but it's definitely much slower than android phones with similar specs.
Everything just takes long to load. For example Google assistant takes about 3 seconds from when I press the button to when I can talk to it.
I'm currently running a custom Magisc ROM with Android 10, but this problem has definitely also been around when I had stock ROMs installed and across android 8, 9 and 10.
I've done a search and there are some posts from a few years ago, but other than uninstalling all Google services, there weren't really any suggestions.
Given there aren't many people complaining about almost unusable slow units, I'm thinking maybe mine is slower than others.
Any suggestions?

Would love to hear others, and would love if somebody contradicts me, but my unit also became laggy with time. Most noticeable when interacting Google Maps (to the point of becoming annoying) mainly when I need to input a new address. Music works OK, and I do not really use assistant. I went back to Android 8 (Hal9K) but that did not help much.
I think is just the HW and the fact that apps (not only the OS) become more and more resource-hungry with newer versions. I'd challenge that you can find a phone with the same old specs of PX5, and I know Google has launched a web-based "Google Maps"(reduced) to solve complains in old phones.
But would love if somebody can contradict me and provide some hints for a deep-cleaning
In the meantime, praying that some china company will launch new devices on 2022 based on the latest RK with 4xA76 (yea, I know, too new...will taje some time)

Thanks for your reply, glad I'm not the only one. Do you mind telling me the specs of your one? 2Gb of RAM as well?

Have you both observed px5 temps?

Between 42°C and 67°C when I had a look, but changing very rapidly.
Ambient temperature around 28°C, car cabin temperature maybe 24°C.
I know for a PC CPU this would be considered running very cool.

I have been looking at them... but I understand they forcefully remove Google Assistant to use their own assistant, and that is a blocking point for me on two accounts: first I have most of my data on Google (for good or bad), second I am not sure I can trust a HW provider which blocks SW / wants to decide which SW I am allowed to use...
But thanks for the advice. I have heard they are good units and not everybody is aware of them. Other people looking at this thread could benefit by taking a look at them

Hi all, I'm pretty new to this scene and was hoping for some support and guidance from the community. And apologies if I'm hijacking the post but all other threads seemed dead with old replies. I have recently purchased a 2nd hand car which had a PX5 head unit. I will post the device details below, but I was hoping you could point me in the right direction to download a newer and compatible firmware/mcu for my unit. I'm used to flash custom rom/firmwares on android mobile phones so I do understand the process itself quite well, it's just the firmware/mcu compatibility with this device that I'm unsure of. Thank you in advance for the support.

I am not familiar with KGL Units, but according to this post they are compatible with Dasaita/HotAudio SW, and there is a thread on the MTCD General Questions subforum with links to the latest firmware for the Dasaita/HA MCU (although I haven't really seen any advantage of updating the firmware for several years... I think that since 2018 they have focused more on fixing bugs for MTC-E mainboards and newer ones rather than MTC-D). If you do not know if you have a MTC-D or a MTC-E, check if the board has an actual DSP-daughterboard or not (the "MTC-E" version that is reported on settings indicates that you have a MTC-D/MTC-E SW release and not that your board is really MTC-E)
As for Android itself, I wouldn't recommend to update it to Android 9. I have noticed SOME responsiveness improvement with Hal9K mod in Android 10, but you might loose the Bluetooth as Android 10 is not compatible with some old chipsets (check on the discussion about that in HW-Development, and the proposed solution)
