///M3Evolution R1.221 Dynavin Android Rom

Ok cheers, that's useful to know.
Guess its just a case of patience then!

Probably a stupid question, but I'm assuming the drivers to support more dongles or just better Bluetooth support cannot just be 'retrofitted' after flashing somehow?

Nice work.. Can't wait getting my new D99 within a couple of days.

Is it build on the newest rom from Dynavin or the old one?

Thanks its based off the latest release20111209 downloaded from Dynavin

Thanks for your release and for your job!
UI is really improved over stock Dynavin's and Froyo.
I notice some thing, I would like to share, if you don't mind:
1. Your release booting time is increased almost twice.
2. I didn't notice any improvement in WiFI sudden disconntecing bug, it's disconnects and then doesn't connect till I turn WiFi of and then on.
3. GPS TIme zone fixed now, it's really great.
4. Compatibility Mode is seems to be on, not off, because I work in some software navigation company and our software for android seems run on reduced, screen size with frame around.

I'll keep testing in a few days more, I really like it. Thanks again!

OK, so I did the install, the dynavin works like a charm and looks very neat, great job!!!

I had 2 issues though: one with the GPS fix - took 10 minutes for a lock; I solved it with root explorer by changing the country code in the relevant file. It now locks instantly.

The remaining issue is that I cannot connect to a wireless network, i.e. my iphone 4. I made some changes in RT2870STA.dat to reflect my country (Romania):

country region changed from 0 to 1
country code changed from US to RO

Before doing the above I was able to see the available networks but got disconnected after each connection attempt; now it's worse: says it's unable to search for wireless networks.

m3evolution, can you please tell me what you've changed in this file except the above 2 parameters?

Just wanted to bounce in here and say thanks for releasing this. Having ROM's like this make the unit so much more diverse and powerful.

I followed the link for the Sabrent one on Amazon that someone else posted up a while back and bought one. The postage to the UK cost more than the bloody dongle itself, but what they sent me was a cheap generic Chinese one that doesn't work in the Dynavin (no surprise there as it's not the known working one).
I'm livid about it after they advertised Sabrent ones and I paid for that but got a worthless piece of crud instead. They've had a complaint but I don't expect anything to come of it.

I'll try to order one again but need to find somewhere that won't take the mickey on the postage to uk (not found them actually for sale here), and will actually send me what I've paid for instead of defrauding me.

Sorry if that's a bit ranty - it's not aimed at anyone here of course, am just venting.

I don't think this will be much use to you but I have gotten a bluetooth dongle to work so I can use the Torque app. I bought it at BestBuy and the brand is their own so I am not sure if it is available outside the US but it might be worth researching.

One thing to note is that while the BT dongle will talk to my OBD adapter it will not connect to my iPhone for whatever reason.

One thing I am running in to is the following

I have tried to change

persist.sys.timezone=America/Los_Angeles

to the following

persist.sys.timezone=America/Chicago

The file saves without error but when I restart the system I get a boot loop. Is there a way to modify that file before flashing so it is installed with the time zone specified?

Just installed the new ROM, top work man. Mines a D99 unit.

Ive tested x4 BT devices all of them work fine.

They originally were not working. I had updated to latest firmware on Dynavin website. They all worked subsequently.

I then put M3 Rev's former ROM version onto the unit they all still work.

And now updated to M3's latest ROM and they work still.

These are the devices that i tested (along with the Sabrent unit that i bought from Amazon in the US)

I had x2 lying around in work and x1 bought from EbayUK.

For those wishing to know which one on ebay it is this exact one. I have transferred images from a HTC Desire to the Android side using it.

Bluetooth Adaptor Ebay

Thanks for the details mate - that should make it easier for me to get one of the ones that you've had working. Just ordered one of the ones you linked to on ebay. Have also found that logilink one easily enough and a trust one that has the same item number but looks like a newer version maybe.

When you say you copied pics to the "Dynavin side" do you mean not to Android, but into the actual radio/dvd side of the unit? What procedure did you use for that?
And if that's the case, isn't it possible it's not actually using the dongle you plugged in and is just using the parrot bluetooth module that's built in to the Dynavin Side?

It's the bluetooth Android connectivity that really is what I'm after so I can stream from phone to Android and so on.

Bump for the above. I've been busting my brains the entire weekend to make the wifi work. Any help would be appreciated- i need to make it work for Europe-Romania. Otherwise I'll just have to go back to the crappy stock rom - the android side is 90% useless without an internet connection

crristic

I don't think this parameter is the reason why you experiencing such difficulties trying to connect to your iPhone.
I have my iPhone 4S connected to Dynavin and it's suddenly disconnects same way it does on stock ROM. I have only set up country in Settings. Try to set country region changed from 1 to 0
country code changed from RO to US
Check if it's working.

By the way. Maybe the problems with WiFi is WiFI adapter. Mine was from Dynavin. Maybe we can use other brand WiFI.

Also a question, Dynavin D99 has 3 USB ports, one GPS (it's porbabaly for WiFi) one for iPod and 3rd I can't remember for....

Witch port should i use for Bluetooth dongle? Should I purchase USB hub and insert WiFi and Bluetooth into it and plug it to USB-GPS in Dynavin?

Shall Dynavin D99 operate with other brand's WiFi, 3G USB modules?

Here are all the settings options. Lots of people have problems connecting to iPhone for their wifi connection. I dont have an iPhone so I cant trouble shoot but you might want to try changing settings from infrastructure to adhoc to see if that makes a difference.

Hmmm, I was just about to do the same. Any input on this evo?

crristic. I imagine you're attempting to tether your iPhone4 to your Dynavin via WiFi. I'm not sure if those 2 parameters are going to change anything, but tethering probably won't work because most Phones use ad-hoc networking rather than infrastructure. The dynavin will only be able to see an infrastructure network.

probably the quickest way is to set up that file the way you like and then save it to sdcard. Then after reflashing you could just copy and past the file over from the sdcard to the system folder then reboot

Iphone 4 uses infrastructure as far as I know, there were a lot of folks mentioning problems with their droids because it uses ad-hoc.

thanks for the file, I'll give it a shot these days. I think I've been tinkering too much with the settings - so worst case scenario I will do a rom reinstall.
I never had issues maintaining a good connection between the unit and my iphone 4; sometimes it did not connect instantly, but that was only if I wasn't activating the tethering option before entering the car - not really a deal breaker for me.

Would like to try tethering to my iphone (4s) but I foolishly upgraded to ios 5.1 and the jailbreak isn't out yet I don't think to enable me to run a personal hotspot via mywi (or whatever it is I used before).
