Experience with 10.25" android 7.1 HU's

### topic renamed for central collection of info ###

This topic is intended for sharing information, tips, tricks, software questions etc. for the Ugode 10.25" headunit (http://ugode.com/index.php/products_v_34_273.html).
These units were part of the group-buy here:
http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1481613
All tips and tricks are welcome, just keep it on-topic please...

To kickstart it a bit: I have an app on my mobile called Auto Wifi Tethering (android) and as soon as my bluetooth is connected, it activates the hotspot of my phone so a headunit can connect.
Works pretty good

Issues list:
#1 (SOLVED) (DRuw) "No signal" screen on android boot up (reported by DRuw) all software versions
#2 (SOLVED) (All) Wifi auto connect to hotspot does not work. solved in latest software release
#3 (Wacky007) During navigation screen suddenly turns to blank screen (reported by wacky007, MrChang, orup)
#4 (All) Poor performance for Google Maps; lags and app crash.
#5 (Mike87) Automatic front camera enable
When you connect front camera in DVR CVBS IN (rca connection cable), the system should change the screen to front camera view when switching to 1st gear right after reverse gear. Also, there should be an idrive button for switching to cameras.
#6 (Mike78) iphone mirroring
scrolling and camera roll video slow performance. I have also tested other high resolution wifi airplay adapter and they had near iphone performance in videos.
#7. (CHP10) the screen behind the cover seems to be bigger which means not the whole screen in visible
#8. (CHP10) when i go to the settings (Android side) the unit always switch to my iphone music (last source e.g. iTunes, TuneIn). Means if i listen to radio (BMW side) and i enter into the setting it is switching to iPhone Music (also BMW side).
#9 (SOLVED) (DRuw) since new software rev. GPS signal freezes about a minute after starting the system.Solved, probably installation error.

Wishlist:
#1 would be great if i can select the icon's which should be displayed. As i don't use DVR and Bluetooth those icon's are useless for em

With rev 20180828, the whitelist of the appkiller has been extended to include more apps to run on the background.

How to remove task killer completely
SPECIAL CREDITS cederron
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!

You need a PC connected to the same WIFI as the Head Unit

-Install Terminal Emulator in Head Unit (https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...roidterm&hl=es)

-Open Terminal Emulator and write following commands:
#setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555
#ifconfig wlan0
This last command will show you the hu ip, remember it

-Enable USB debugging in developer options in HU, if its enabled, disable and enable again.


-Now in the pc you need ADB, and run following commands
#adb connect 1.2.3.4:5555 (substitute 1.2.3.4 by the ip you found out earlier in terminal)
#adb shell
#su
#mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/emmc/by-name/system /system
#mv /system/app/EventCenter.apk /sdcard/

Now in the HU, with a file explorer go to /sdcard and install EventCenter.apk, like you would do with a normal app

Now the task killer is disabled.

If any doubt with the above steps, you can check here https://google.com
