Android platform

Since many time I dream about creating applications for Android platform, some things that could be maybe useful for Android users !

Android software is Referenced and described below !

 

Mazda MPS / Mazdaspeed Fuel Mixer Lite

Mazda MPS / Mazdaspeed Fuel Mixer Lite

Platform: ANDROID
Domain: CARS

This app allows you to calculate the amount of fuel to be added in tank, based in a selected mix value between petro and ethanol. Only for pleople owning Mazdaspeeds / MPS Gen1 and Gen2, can be suitable for Mazda CX-7 also.

Mazda MPS / Mazdaspeed Fuel Mixer Pro

Mazda MPS / Mazdaspeed Fuel Mixer Pro

Platform: ANDROID
Domain: CARS

As for the Lite version, this app allows you to calculate the amount of fuel to be added in tank, based in a selected mix value between petrol and ethanol. Unless the LITE version, this one allows you to save the fuel filled data in cloud, export your fuel logs, select app theme, get warnings to service up your HPFP (High Pressure Fuel Pump) internals (Ethanol slowly damages the internal O-Rings), and more, this app can adjust automatically the selected mix if you don't fill exactly the amounts of fuel commanded by the application, allowing you to fix the gap that you've got while filling up your tank.

Android Shortcut Settings

Android Shortcut Settings

Platform: ANDROID
Domain: CARS HEADUNITS

This application has been created to fill a hole in the Android chinese headunits, I mean that these units don't have shortcuts to access Android settings (or at least the shortcut has been hidden), in most cases users need to acces Engineering parameters because of bad GPS settings, and the shortcut does not exist. Well, with this app you can acces these hidden menus easy.

Headunit Warning Start Message

Headunit Warning Start Message

Platform: ANDROID
Domain: CARS HEADUNITS

This application has been created to fill a hole in the Android chinese headunits, I mean that these units don't have a Safety Warning Message when unit boots up, like these embeeded in new cars, to prevnt the driver about the danger of look at screen while driving. It starts automatically after system boot and fade in a safety message for 5 seconds, then fade out the message and close. Nothing complicated but maybe effective ?, anyway a safety warning message could not be bad at all !

Track Me:: Car Tracker Solution

Track Me:: Car Tracker Solution

Platform: ANDROID
Domain: CARS HEADUNITS

This application has been created to fit my needs in terms of car security, this one starts automatically when Android boot is completed, it starts in hidden mode as a background service, reading GPS data cantinuously and transmitting that data as soon as possible to a cloud database, then I can get that data and export to google earth and see my car's roadtrip, I anyone tries to stole my car, at least, I can ope to find where it is, in realtime.
The version available here to download, is a DEMO one, this version DOES NOT send GPS data anywhere, you can only see how the application works and its behaviour.

The above applications have, at least, English and French versions



Linux platform

I work with this platform since 2010, and I learned in the meantime some languages, Shell (sh / bash), Python and others. I used my knowledge to develop some bunch of scripts useful in many situations

Linux scripts are Referenced and described below !

 

TS10 Firmware Workbench

TS10 Firmware Workbench

Platform: LINUX
Domain: TOPWAY ANDROID 10 FIRMWARE

People buying chinese Android car headunits are concerned about security as these units may include in the firmware some bloatware capable os send information to chinese servers, these firmware are very well encrypted, so I created a bunch of tools (Workbench) to unpack these firmwares and unbloat them, also inject "superuser" capabilities and tweak some performance issues, my tools are onmy for the Topway based Android 10 firmwares

FYT Backup

FYT Backup

Platform: LINUX
Domain: FYT ANDROID 10 FIRMWARE

This script allow owners of Android 10 car Headunits based on the FYT platform, to take a deep backup of the original apks installed, just before attempt to modify, it allow you to restore that original files if anything goes wrong.

FYT Factory

Platform: WEB
Domain: CARS HEADUNITS

This is a web application that has been created to make the life easy for chinese car headunits with FYT firmware and UIS7862 Processor owners.
This web application can (by the moment) create Launchers Installers as the process is not a stright one, the app can compile into a ZIP file the contents to allow update / install Launchers into these headunits.
Behind the web, a php powered script handles the whole process of create the files and package the final ZIP file and then allow the user to download and install it in the car headunit.
