Rear dashcam 0.15.7 for Gen5W head units (Android 4.4), as a NEMESIS package: the recorder service and the Dashcam playback app in one install.

Changes in this version:

Requires the Video Codec Fix package

  • Install gen5-codec-patch (media.codecs 2.0 or newer) first. It's required for on-device video playback: without it, the Dashcam app can't play recordings on the car's screen. The installer now checks for it and refuses with a message if it's missing.

Install gen5-codec-patch (media.codecs 2.0+) first. It's required for on-device video playback, and this package won't install without it.

Install over ADB with nemesis install --update dashcam-0.15.7.zip, or by USB: extract dashcam-0.15.7-usb.zip onto the root of a FAT32/exFAT drive and plug it in. Reboot the head unit after installing or updating to activate the camera overlay fix. Recordings and the recording on/off setting carry over when you update. Check downloads against SHA256SUMS. DashcamPlayer.apk is the app on its own; the package already contains it.

If the reverse camera ever fails to come up, stop and report it, and uninstall the package until it's fixed. Details in the README.
