Android Auto Headunit on Raspberry PI in BMW - Android Auto General

Hallo,
I'm using a Raspberry PI in my 2001 BMW. I can connect my phone (S7 EDGE) via Bluetooth to stream music to the PI and listen in my car.
The PI also shows content played in KODI server on the NAV screen in the dash.
I'd like to use the raspberry in the future to run the headunit app and control the S7 directly.
So far I was able to install QT5.8 on the PI and to compile the 0.94 version from this source:
github.com/gartnera/headunit/
It is designed for Mazda cars but also has an Ubuntu Folder. When I start the compiled file, it gives me some errors.
Did anybody ever try to compile this for use with a Raspberry ?

Some update:
I was able to compile the version 0.94 and also headunit-master from the source i already gave.
Errors:
With 0.94 the app starts in the X Session but i get a data stream error from gstreamer.
With headunit-master version the X Session suddenly closes with error segmentation fault.
Did anyone else try to make it run on a Pi?

Chromecast N7 2013 and mobile tethering.

My setup:
No ISP, using T-Mobile Unlimited 4G LTE as my main source for interwebs at home. Proxy for tethering = Unlimited Tether.
Chromecast goes through tethering as does my Nexus 7 2013.
My goal: Stream ANY video file from my tablet and possibly stream/mirror from the tablet using unorthodox methods. Without a laptop present.
My idea: Complete Linux Installer, Ubuntu 13.10 with Chrome Browser with java and VideoStream extension.
What I have tested so far:
1) Chromium will not support videostream, or vice versa, I do not currently know if I can force install the extension.
2) Cannot install chrome using traditional apt-get command as it will not let me load the repository. Getting a GPG error.
3) Cannot install chrome using .deb file because I can't even force architecture to allow it to run since i'm on armhf.
4) Can't install wine ppa/wine to emulate windows chrome to allow extension to be installed.
Conclusion: It probably can't be done, but I'm only so brilliant and there may be ways to do things I am unaware of.
This isn't a request for help so much as me explaining what I've done so far to escape the chromecast from being tethered to a PC for full funcionality.
Here's hoping the videostream team will make an android app and eliminate half of my battle, here's hoping we get the ability to stream/playback more file types natively one day. For now i'll stick to stream-tv and not complain for the price.
What tablet do you have?
The limiting factor isn't so much what the tablet's running rather than the horsepower needed to convert incompatible media to Chromecast-compatible format.
If you can screen mirror your N7 (currently requires development Chromecast in Spain or rooted Chromecast running latest Eureka-ROM, and compatible device to mirror - I believe N7 2013 fits that), then it might just work.

Raspbian Testing and Kodi Bugs Pi2 Raspbian

I'm used to running Debian Testing on my laptop and the stability it is quite stable; however, my Pi has a couple bugs.
1) Chromium package not found with aptitude or apt, but is referenced. I've rebooted my Pi and updated my sources, but that didn't fix the problem.
2) I'm using my Pi as a home media server and a print server. The problem right now is that my Pi won't display any video from Kodi. The screen goes black and the time for the show works, but no video is playing.
I've done research on Stackoverflow, but I haven't encountered these same problems. I'm hoping to avoid a reinstallation, and any help would be great.

#start_x Enable the camera module.
start_x=1
But after that board doesn't boot.
Is there any way or work around to enable Webcam on Raspberry Pi2 using Android OS.
Please help.

[HELP REQ] Actualize DSP/Xovering project instructions

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a Rpi 3B in order to realize this project:
Raspberry Pi Music Server With Built-in Crossover and DSP
Raspberry Pi Music Server With Built-in Crossover and DSP: Hi 'iblers I want to share this project with you: turning your raspberry pi into a powerful music server that can play high resolution audio files, separate audio signals by frequency (crossover), and provide speaker and room correcting...
www.instructables.com
Unfortunally it's based on an old Pi image (Raspian Lite Jessie 2016-02-09-raspbian-jessie-lite) so, especially after the latest update (changelog here), I believe those instructions have to be updated.
Can someone help ?
Thanks in advance.
