Yep, that's pretty much what I was going to say in a PM...
I prefer the use of sudo over su as it only raises you to root for the duration of the command, rather than for the duration of the shell. You need to be root when you modify files (e.g. sudo cp ...), not just to have the right permissions, but also to make sure that the root user becomes the owner of the files. Not all files have this requirement, so there are some that you may need to chown. You also need to make sure that the attributes are set correctly for the type of file (chmod/chattr) If you're only interested in examining the system.img file system, then you can use ext2read on Windows. If you want to modify the root file system (uramdisk.img), then I have found bootutil.exe to be an easy tool to use on Windows. |

A quick google indicates that the default for density (ro.sf.lcd_density) is 96 dpi - however elsewhere it indicates that Android will assume mdpi (160) unless otherwise specified. |

So, we resorted to doing it manually. Used ES Explorer to Mount /system as R/W and put ro.sf.lcd_density=160 in the build.prop and rebooted. We were then able to change the value for density manually to get the effects we wanted. Interestingly, Co-Pilot reacted backwards to the density changes than expected. Lowering density values should have created smaller objects, thus more room on screen. Setting density to 120 did make the launcher and other items looks smaller, but it made co-pilot look bigger, and we lost even more screen real estate. Setting density to 220 made co-pilot show us the normal screen and we were able to sign in and get co-pilot working. Technically the density should be 140 (that's what we set it at for now). I get there by dividing the pixels (800) by width (5.75 ") = 140. Vertically it's a little over 150 (480 / 3.125). We may end up changing it back to 160 if it proves problematic for any apps, etc. |

I played around with a tool from the play store as well - however the radio app no longer filled the screen correctly after a reboot, so didn't look much futher.

APK files (applications) downloaded from the Play store go into /data/app. With root privs you can copy these files to somewhere that doesn't get deleted during a firmware upgrade - for example the MicroSD card. After the firmware upgrade, simply install each one again by clicking on it with ES File Manager Step-by-step
After an upgrade you can use ES File Manager to open this folder again and click on each file to install the app. |

Hold down the back button for 3 seconds to close the radio app. Thereafter the headunit will boot to the homescreen. (At least until you start the radio app again).

Has anyone had any luck getting "Trackmaster" running on one of these head units? I just picked one up.
