I am back to Wince S100! NEW SKINPACK!! Radio stations stored by RDS name!!

Yes, you read it right! After one year of android fun I decided to switch back to wince and probably I'll on it. Here are my reasons for that:

1. Running android 4.03 some people, including me, are experiencing hardware faults caused by the overheating of the cpu that loose contact from the mainboard.
One of the simptoms of this is the loss of audio from the android software like audio or video player, navi sw, etc.. while the audio from radio, tv and dvd is still there.
Sometimes is enought to restart the unit and the audio come back but in other critical cases it is necessary to apply an hardware fix ,tipically a reflow. On xda forum some people have already done it successfully and their unit went back working normally but it's hard to tell how long it will last.
I'm experiencing this issue too  and i don't want to risk to replace another cpu board.
2. Wince is faster in booting, recognizing usb sticks and mostly all other things but more than anything else... it never crash!
3. In newest wince firmware Winca have added the function to store the radio stations by RDS name instead of frequency numbers.
4. A russian guy have reworked the audio player "Nitrogen" making it perfectly integrated with the unit where now even the steering wheel controls work.


5. All the android apps are nice but most of them are unusefull on a car unit, most are just phone centrated.


So summing all these points i decided to switch back to wince, I restarted working on my skins, adapting and fixing the Skinpack for the new firmwares:




and i also made a skin for Nitrogen that fit my skin4:


Here is the link to latest Skinpack:

S100 Skinpack 26.10.2014.rar

it include Nitrogen and its skin4, it can be installed as an extra app, as the default music player or even both.

Extract the skinpack on the root of SD card and put it in GPS slot, on the unit set Navi path to "\Skinmanager\Skinmanager.exe", press the Navi button

This is the Skinpack most recent changelog:

26.10.2014
- Fixed Nitrogen launch as extra app
- Moved audio player and nitrogen playlist button to match radio list position
- Better radio keyboard
- Some skinmanager fixes
- Added names to Skinmanager and Nitrogen icons in extra app
19.10.2014
- Updated Skin 2, 3 and 4 to new firmware version 1.6.9
- Updated Nitrogen to 14/10/2014 version with SWC and more integration into S100 platform
- Added Nitrogen Skin4

UPDATE: All the skinpack aren't free anymore, to download the skinpack you have togo to this post and buy it:

Once the payment is confirmed you will be redirected to the Skinpacks folder where you can find older versions, the curent one  and even the new ones when they will be available.

These are the packs included in the folder now:
- Skinpack 12.01.15 for fw 1.7.9
- Skinpack for fw 1.6.9
- SkinPack for fw 1.0.9.0 to 1.6.9

    1. I will make a new post with detailed instructions to switch back to wince, for now here is the last wince Fw:

      And here is wince-sdboot to go back to wince:
      https://www.dropbox.com/s/ncr3vioawoslmnx/SDBOOT_wince.zip?dl=0
      Instructions are inside the zip.
      This tool is to convert the Fw for your model:
      https://www.dropbox.com/s/ubp2gsnfxgrrhel/SetUpdateXML_EN_2.exe?dl=0
      Portugues should be there, skins work on any language. To install skins you use skinmanager after flash.

    2. Will there be any problem if I install this version because my unit is model 239. Tks.

      Delete
    3. It depend if your unit use a standard mcu or a specific one for your unit.
      Will be better if you find an original wince fw for your unit, take the mcu.bin from there and replace it in the new fw.
      Otherwise take the risk and flash the mcu that come with this fw.

      Delete
    4. Hi,
      I used this firmware on my unit (239) and it worked.
      Only have a few observations:
      - My TV only works with the last channel tuned. I can't change channels. I believe that is the TV mode (DTV, Analog, etc). How can I change?
      - The RDS radio is shuffling the letters of the words, ie for the name of radios and other information.
      - For videos, there is a delay of about 3 to 4 seconds to start a video, either for the first time or to move from one to the other.
      - The date on the Radio is in american format (month, day, week). Is there possible to change?
      - About SDCARD, since I used it to install the firmware, I can't reuse it for the GPS? I formatted it and put iGO, but when I turn on the unit, the display goes blank. I have to turn on it without the SDCARD.
      - When I put PiP and with radio is working, the numbers of the radio station name is shuffled. If I undo and redo PiP, it back to normal.

      Tks

    1. First you need to prepare your sd card with this:
      https://www.dropbox.com/s/ncr3vioawoslmnx/SDBOOT_wince.zip?dl=0
      Instructions are inside.
      then you can copy the fw on it and start the unit from gps slot

  3. Hello KoTIK, thanks for your work,
    I want to know if the new audio player supports now Playlists, because that was the fact that make me change to Android, Wince audio player was very simple with no options. Thank you in Advance.

    3. WINCE, VERSIONE ATTUALE FW 20130829

      Delete
    4. Mi dici quale mcu hai adesso? guarda nelle info.

      Delete
    5. Ok quindi... come mcu non c'è problema, il rsto lo devi impostare mnualmente visto che il setupdatexml.exe non lo puoi usare:
      Ti serve sapere che tipo di lcd monti (pollici e tipo)in modo da specificarlo nel file update.xml
      Puoi usare il mio skintool o cecmd per farti un backup dei files che ci sono nella cartella S100Program\
      in modo da usarli per crearti il tuo firmware, in particolare ti servono: ADSet.xml e MachineMapCanBus.xml ma se copi anche tutti gli altri è meglio (non la cartella s100UI).
      Poi vediamo se riesci ad andare avanti da lì....
      Ciauz :)

      Delete
    6. Nel file update.xml trovo solo l'impostazione dei pollici e non del modello (il mio 7" HannStar)
      Ho il bck, (S100Program-Backup) copio il tutto e sovrascrivo i file nel tuo nuovo fw? Corretto?
      Ciao

      Delete
    7. NO, non sovrascrivere tutto, solo il file adset.xml ed il MachineMapcanbus.xml
      Nel file update.xml metti LCD id="1"

      Delete
    8. Poi metti il tutto su una sd,
      Accendi la radio ed inserisci la sd da radio accesa
      Imposti il GPS path: \patch\UpgradePatch.exe
      Premi il pulsante navi e dovrebbe uscire patch ok.
      Riavvii la radio con la sd dentro e dovrebbe partire l'upgrade del fw.
      Non toccare nulla fino a che non tichiede ti togliere la sd.

      Delete
    9. Prima di fare l'aggiornamento ho voluto rimuove il tuo skin e dopo il ripristino non compaiono più le scritte.
      Ho provato anche a reinstallare lo skin3 ma sempre senza scritte.
      Posso comunque fare l'aggiornamento al nuovo fw ho mi devo preoccupare?
      Grazie

    10. Può dipendere dalla modifica del file "string_Italian.xml" ?!?

      Delete

    1. Did you set correctly the fw for your unit using SetUpdateXml.exe before flashing?

    2. Have you the origianl fw for your unit?

    3. Hi Kotix. No, i don´t change nothing before flashing, because i used a sofware for my unit (C 019) OPEL ASTRA H . The sofware it was of NAVISSON,( only chage de skin, i suposed). And now beguin my problems.

      I have the original fw send by chinesse seler. I put the fw in the sd, turn on, and the same yellow screeen.
      I thing that the sd gps unit, don`t recognize nothing.

      Delete

    4. So i guess you have flashed the c149 fw on your c019?? That's bad....
      Ok, in your original fw, edit the file update.xml and change from "true" to "false" the touchscreen calibration:
      TouchExe run="false"

      Then put the sd in gps slot, turn on the unit and wait 20 minutes. Remove the sd card and reboot. Even if you don't see nothing it will flash the unit.
      If it still don't wotk, you have to use the wince-sdboot procedure.

      Delete
    5. Hi Kotix, thank you for your answers.I tried the two metods you said me, whith diferent sd cards.
      -Wait 20 minutes
      -The wince-sdboot procedure

      And the same result. turn on, and ever the same sreen white whit colour lines verticals in the right side.

      something else: If i press source button and the same time press reset buttom, the unit reboot and only appears a full white screen.

      If you want, i whould like send you by email all the proces that i did, version sofware before the problem, the version who send the chinesse seler to me, and some photos of the escreens.

    1. Quella funzione la ottieni con l'aggiornamento del firmware, non con le mie skin.
      E' una funzione contenuta nel fw 1.6.9.

    4. Scusa, ma non ho capito.
      La mia situazione attuale è questa: ho una S100 con ancora WinCE installato, non Android, con firmware C018 V 1.2.9.
      Dispondo del FW C018 V 1.2.9 trovato su roadnav.
      Per avere la Lista con i nomi delle radio mi basta usare SetUpdateXML_EN_2.exe selezionando la C018?
      Grazie ancora.

    5. Dispongo anche del FW 1.6.9.18 però per la versione C149.
      Posso usare quello sulla versione C018?

      Delete
    6. Lo puoi usare ma prima lo devi convertire pe ril c018 usando il SetUpdateXml.exe
      Però controlla anche che il tuo c018 usi una mcu simile a quella del c149, cioè vai su roadnav.com e controlla che nei firmw abbiano le stesse mcu.

    4. Più che altro non confido molto sul fatto che rilascino aggiornamento per il c219 visto che quando chiedo news non mi rispondono mai in nessun post e la versione Android i219 infatti è l'unica che non hanno aggiornato. A quel punto mi affiderò a te commissionandoti un custom work dietro pagamento ovviamente se possibile.

  24. Hi KoTiX,

    First I'd like to thank you for your struggling, testing and sharing info & updates on these gadgets ;)

    Secondly, I'd like to ask you about the HW issues that you are atlking about on using 4.0.3. Is this applied only to S100 models or it's valid as well for S150 models which originally came equiped with 2.3.4 ?

    I have i019 (Opel Astra H....) model which I've upgraded to 4.0.3 for some months on my supplier (I assume it's an original version upgrade for it).

    I'm having some bothering issues with it:

    1. cannot connect to any WiFi networks anymore....it's in a continuous loop of connecting, obtaining IP, and so on
    2. bluetooth / phone app has more issues:
    a. hardly could download completely phonebook & call log, waskeeping gettin' stuck at some point, and had to start over;
    b. it contains some 4.0.3 bug (ofcourse) regarding recognizing incoming caller IDs (something about international code & phonebook), so I never know who is calling me
    c. the call logs are not gettin' updated automatically with calls placed trough the system (like the old one did)
    d. searching trough contacts, it's a pain in the ass: cannot see full name per each line until you place the call & starting to type a phone number doesn't filter my contacts to choose one....
    3. music app, all of a sudden, has no sound at all (playing from SD card), which was working ok some time after update

    I have received today a newer version from my supplier, which I'll give it a try myself (I hope I'll manage to install it succesfully & work better).

    In case not, I will revert back to 2.3.4, although I don't have an original, tested, stable FW kit, do you have one ?

    Finall question, is about MCU. What does it mean, and does it need to be the same between Android version ?
    I see that on my original 2.3.4 this was A003, now I have M004 and the new update has O005.

    Thank you !

  25. The overheating issue has happened to me on s100 and on s150(2.34) boards, both of them were running android 4.03 but s100 died the lcd controller i guess, the s150 was having no sound on android ones in a while.
    I converted my s150 to S100 (wince) and i have no sound issues anymore.
    So in your 3° point you have definetively lost audio from the cpu board and you need to try to resolder it or reflow it.
    To be sure it's not a hardware failure you should flash android 2.34 and wince too.
    All the 2.34 firmwares are the same, just replace the config folder with your original one and the mcu you had.
    Good luck ;)

      Use an mcu file that you know is ok for you, here some old mcu files: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ousyh4yv3kl030k/AAD8bNINHrjfpiX79qWIfiBAa?dl=0

    4. I'll give them a try.

      I had on mine A003 as MCU version, but on the only complete kit I have there's E003 which I've found on your Dropbox link as well. Maybe it's the latest version for 2.3.4

      I'd be happy to have it working fully on 2.3.4 like it was before.
      I'll keep you posted.

      Thx !

  27. Today I've flashed the latest 4.0.3 that I've received yesterday, but didn't had enough time to test it.

    Music player has sound, for now....rebooted once, still ok
    I could connect to WiFi once

    I'll give it some more time to test (but not that much) and maybe go back to 2.3.4.

    It's really interested to test (or even maybe stick on) the WinCE version, but I see there were some guys with some issues that need to replace their boards (not so pleasant).
    This happened only because they've flashed a wrong version or nobody knows why this can happen ?

    Yesterday I could download my v1.7.9 for C019 (I have S150 I019), but it's strange that now I cannot access at all roadnavs' website....glad that I got it though....

    I'll keep you posted if I'll have the courage to try WinCE ;)

    Thx,

  28. Ahhhh, for 2.3.4 do I need to fuse another uboot file ?
    Just tried with the one used for 4.0.3 but with 2.3.4 fw and the screen is still black after 10 minutes....

    :(

    1. Yes you need another dootloader for 2.34.
      Some guys who flashaed back wince have flashed a wrong version, some other don't know what was wrong.
      I beleive you are safe enought if you flash the original c019 fw but , you know, shit can always happen...

  29. Ok, I already found it on the internet, and already flashed with the 2.3.4 version that I got from carnavy.
    But again, NO SOUND on Music player :(

    Everything else works great, including WiFi or Phone app.

    Could this be due to MCU version ?

    Originally when I bought the device, it came with A003 version.
    On this latest 2.34 kit there's E003 installed on it.

    On latest 4.03 I got O005 where as well, sound was working (since last night when I flashed it)

    Is there a connection between MCU versions and major Android versions ?
    Thinking to re-flash 2.34 using MCU version from latest 4.03 for my player, is it a good idea ?

    I don't see A003 on your MCU list....

    This is also connected with Wireless functionality ?

    I would have preferred to stick on a stable / fully working v2.34, but it seems I'm not lucky, thus being forced to try WinCE....

  30. ciao kotix
    ho installato le tue skin ma i pulsanti non corrispondono piu': nello specifico il tasto media e' diventato navigatore, il bluetooh e' diventato il tasto media etc... Questo anche dopo il ripristino della skin originale. Mi puoi aiutare?

  31. ok Kotix, ma prima di aggiornare il FW devo disinstallare le skin?

    1. Quando aggiorni il Fw le skin si cancellano. Le dovrai rimettere.

  32. Hello again Kotix,

    I finally convinced myself to give a try to Windows CE before sending the unit for RMA, as with Android I have lots of issues....
    I've prepared the card using your steps above (SDBOOT), and gave it a try (actually more tries) this afternoon.

    Pulled out all the cards, CD and disconnected BT devices.
    When I boot with the card in the GPS slot, the screen is blank (black) and think nothing happens.
    I've waited 20 minutes and nothing. I've pulled out the card, nothing.

    I've rebooted (using ACC turning off the ignition), and it didn't boot on Android as well.
    Fortunatelly, reinstalling Android 4.0.3 made it alive again.

    What have I done wrong ?

    I've used the SDBOOT loader from the zip arhive as indicated and seen in the screenshots, but I see I have a boot.nb0 file in the image folder of the firmware, which is actually same size as the one in SDBOOT archive. I will give it a try.

    Now, reading the comments (again), I remembered that might need to put Android 2.3.4 first, and give it a try again.
    Is this the case ? Any other thoughts ?

    Thanks !

    1. another thing. I couldn't fuse SDBOOT loader on Windows 8.1 or 7 (both x64).
      I get: Can't read MBR sector from Drive !

      Is the 64-bit OS the issue ? Do you know something ?
      Here, at home I don't have (anymore) any x86 OS (Windows), so I'll wait for next week @work or install a virtual machine

      Thx,

    2. Use nb0 from sdboot package only, run sdboot as administrator

  33. That's rockin. It's great you are keeping this platform viable... I'm gonna paypal ya a little something next paycheck. My S100 has been pretty flaky - just running on WinCE. Now I have gotten in the habit of shutting it down before turning the car off. Seems when I let it power on when the car was first started it would hang a lot. Maybe voltage regulation issue, i dunno.

    Would be awesome to be able to reliably run Android 4.0 though - for just this reason: https://www.automatic.com/ Bluetooth OBDC interface - wooo!

  35. I am using an S100 CAR DVD system in my Opel Astra model C019. It plays FM, DVD, bluetooth and VCDC well, but when I play music from USB, MICROSD CARD and HARDDRIVE, I hear only hissing sound like an FM station out of tune. I have resetted and upgraded the system thinking it will solve the problem, but the problem is still there, Is there a way you can assist me with this?

    1. Se hai una mia ROM fino alla 2.6 puoi usare sdboot tranquillamente. Se hai la 2.7 devi prima tornare alla 2.6.
