Global feedback on DUDU OS, for new people still hesitating

Ryske

With
5 Android TV,
4 android phones,
2 car head unit android,
3 Iot android.
I will not list pcs and their number cause not android/linux based.

The worst system i have ever seen in DUDU OS, bugs,feature unable but still pushed in production. Mandatory functions that break. Rom flashing painful and not working, save and restore system completely broken, app store download/install fully broken, connection issue to wifi, bluetooth, internet, obd, tpms, camera. Bqd translation, chaotique menus, no recovery,no root, no admin tools, file system corrupted for local and usb drives, gms badly set and broke in 2 minute, Even the damn log file generator is buggy and do not work on all screens.

But the best part, they are thrilled to announce new version, full of new bugs and no past fix. Nice job.

Its a car : mandatory features are priority : gps, music, ac and camera if you dont fix these. No need to push any new update.

Ryske I'm not sure what happened in the 3.6, as the 3.5 was fine (almost), the current one is like Vista in Windows Family, shouldn't have been even released. I side with you on chaotic menus, bugs and complete in flexibility. I looked at Mekede M400 home screen and fine, maybe doesn't have so many widgets but... I can press buttons when driving, they are big! 😂
I'm dreaded to think what and how many bugs the 3.7 brings. What annoys me, instead of releasing version without bugs, they decided to abandon 3.6 and work on different visuals and "more, more of everything, more!" approach to 3.7. There is no bug tracker with solutions. Every time a bug is fixed, it appears somewhere in telegram or here and it's lost. I've patched maybe 5x since July the system and... I won't be able to find again these patches when I have to factory restore. It's just chaos. And idea of having the patches separate here and telegram (which in Europe we aren't keen on using because of many issues regarding privacy etc) is bad. Fragmented support, try to find a post or answer on telegram in hundreds of thousands messages, mostly in Russian. Telegram isn't for support, it's a chat service...
I suggested here many times, make a sticky post with bug tracker. No response. And we, users, do the job instead of Dudu by hunting and reporting bugs. I don't know why people bother and very excited buying the product? After over 2 years the device doesn't have a stable bug free (or minimal bugs) software. If it was any other company, they would have gone busted.
And just because, they decided to support DuduOS installation on generic headunits. They hardly can cope with own devices bugs support, so why not, let's now provide support for countless other units we don't know the hardware, what could go wrong?

Ryske I understand your frustration. After updating to DUDU6 version 3.6, your GPS functionality is unavailable. This issue has been logged in the ylog, but neither FYT nor Unisoc has been able to pinpoint the cause.
I've sent you the latest system update in response to your previous post. Please try installing it to see if it resolves the problem. If the issue persists, capture the ylog again with the new system. If analysis still fails to identify the root cause, consider mailing your device back to China to ensure we can determine the cause.

This is your previous screenshot. You can verify whether this parameter has changed before and after the update.
FYT hardware engineers say the screen driver interferes with GPS.

I only found these two. The difference from yours is that they have HSD added at the end.
You can try upgrading.

DUDU-Meng

Ryske Update both screen drivers separately to see if it resolves the GPS interference issue.
