I'm trying setup a cheap GPS for a family member & bought a Junsun 7" Android GPS running Android 4.4.2 off Ali Express: I can't post the link as I'm a new user.
Here's the specs from Ali Express:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
First off Google Play says Android Auto isn't compatible with the device. Is that because the Junsun GPS doesn't have 3G capability (Wifi/ Bluetooth only) or is it the Android version?
So I decided to use Google Maps with Offline Areas instead. Google Maps installed fine but the internal memory is split into two partitions - 500MB & 8GB - and Google Maps won't recognise the 8GB partition or a 16GB SD card. This means it tries to save the offline maps to the 500MB partition - which doesn't have the storage.
I've had two thoughts:
1. Is it possible to re-partition the internal storage into a single partition so I can at least use Google Maps offline?
2. Are there any custom ROMs out there that would either let me run Android Auto as the launcher, or re-partition the internal storage?
I've had a Google search for custom ROMs but it went down the rabbit hole and I got lost really quickly. I normally run Ubuntu but do an Windows 10 laptop I can use - if that makes a difference.
Any help/ suggestions are appreciated.
Please move this thread to another forum if I've posted this in the wrong place.

When I first got my Galaxy S I was so impressed with the google maps as a sat nav I stopped using my TomTom.
Now after trying various different firmwares (currently JPM) my google maps only works when I am connected to a wi-fi connection.
When I am out in my car I get a GPS lock and can see 11 satellites and lock onto between 8-10 satellites but when on the move my google maps looks like the image below.

}
If I do a search for some ware I get the screen below and it just keeps on searching and never finds a location I put in where as it did before I updated my firmware.
Below is a screen shot of GPS Status showing how many satellites I am seeing and locked onto.
Is there a way to get this working correctly again? I also have CoPilot installed and that works as it should but I still prefer google maps.
Thanks in advance.

I see that u dont have data turn on. no data, no google map as it need to download the map.
Where does it show this and how do I turn it on?
Paul.
Am I the only one with this problem then! I have never had a 3G connection as I am on a pay as you go sim and it's never been enabled yet before updating my firmware google maps worked flawlessly.
Paul.
google maps does not store maps locally, it retrieves them as required. Hence, a data connection (either 3G or WIFI) is required. This has always been the case.
The app does store some map tiles in cache, thats why some of the tiles are still visible.
I installed the latest Google Maps app from the market. when I go to Menu->More "catch settings" is missing. Is Hero capable of caching maps for off-line use?
"Rather than having a static set of maps when installed, Maps will automatically start caching the areas you visit the most when your device is plugged in and connected to WiFi (e.g., the nightly charge)." You can't manually control caching, but it's an important first step toward an offline Google Maps.

I have seen it on youtube(couldn't find the video now) that Maps 5.0 has a menu for "Catche Settings". Go to this link you will see it.
Do you guys have this menu on your Hero's?

Offline map caching
The caching is not going to be done while you are using maps. Rather, it will wait until you have your device plugged in and on Wi-Fi to download your personalized map data. If you go to Menu > More > Cache Settings, you can see the current cache size, along with the option to clear it. Also, you can toggle Prefetch on Mobile to let the phone use cellular data to pull maps if Wi-Fi is not available. Google has committed to constantly improving the algorithm that generates your most used areas. We're going to be interested to see how this works out.

It doesn't support the vector rendering and therefore I don't think it supports the offline caching.
Has anyone seen these before:

It looks like a neat solution for anyone who's been wondering when the Apple TV 2G will be able to boot Linux, seem to have everything that you'd need to a silent, low power media streamer without the trouble of building something using beagleboard or similar...
I have no idea how this works properly without a touchscreen but clearly it does. It should be possible to connect an external mouse or larger touchscreen display to make it easier to control. I'm thinking of getting one and a cheap IR-based 24" touchscreen display for a nice living room media controller.
Wanted to know if anyone has one and if it's possible to root this?
Bump! Anybody get one of these things yet. I'm a Google TV owner and wondering how this thing compares.
i have received it one it comes with android 2.1, upgraded to 2.2 through following forum http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1679431&p=5 and nice people working on it for rooting and all, it is just another android mobile without gsm / gps in a black box, u can attache bluetooth keyboard mouse which i m using.
So I have fitted my new unit which is a eonon D5156ZE. Pretty impressed with it so far. Came loaded with kudos navi, v7.5.2, with map NTR14Q2BV2. Eonon sent me a file upgrade which consisted of a few files which while i was upgrading the software i could see it booted into win ce 6 but after fully installed it booted straight into the manufacturer interface. My next question is, what is the file called i can download and point my navi path to the file to boot into ce win mode as opposed to the eonon software?

SERVO:9B.15.0.60.0
IAP:36
LD:0 MDI 0
MEM:71MB/129MB
I would also like to know if i can install a OSLoader in this system to run the standard win / and android?
I was able to find a ResInfo exe along with CECMD.exe which loaded these. Went i went into the control panel it opened up but suddently closes itself down and reopen the factory UI. While i was in there I was able to succesfully grab hold of what files I could for anyone attention.
You shall find 2 zip below: 1 marked eonon is from internal mem from unit, while the 2 marked MTK3360 win8 is what they sent me to upgrade my headunit.

Galaxy S21 Ultra5G, latest Ketan ROM, OneUI 5.0, android 13, had this issue on previous versions as well though.
Hey everyone, here are the symptoms
1) Can't place any files in any folders when phone open on windows, I'm able only to place files in the root here, everything else is not accessible
2) Some installs from the play store work (VLC as an example) but others fail every time
3) All downloads in Chrome (on phone) fail
4) Theres a suggestion of being able to change downloads location but I can't actually do anything

Im rooted, running the newest ROM from Ketan. I have TWRP recovery, everything works fine except somehow I can't access downloads.
This persisted through ROM upgrade or maybe even got worse, I'm not sure, I think in the past I was able to place files in folders but not anymore.
Once I get apks in the root directory I can then find and install them with the Samsung file manager finding new .apks
So this is really frustrating, not being able to place any data on the phone. I've got not idea why either, does anyone have any idea why these symptoms would be presenting themselves?
As for 2, clean play store and play services data

This didn't help unfortunately.
Another thing to note is that when trying to create a new folder on my PC in any of the folders on the internal storage I get an error "The new folder could not be created in this location. The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected". The device seems to be working fine and it has not been disconnected.
