Ended up not liking the generic 8" screen radio (kind of knew I would but really wanted the factory fit and look).
I did some thinking and realized the 8" screen size opening must be very close to a ISO standard double din 7" name brand aftermarket deck.
I took a gamble, removed the face from my generic radio and put it over a pioneer DA210 with ar unchained and old galaxy s2.
I am VERY happy with the results, the screen can fully open and close without touching or rubbing the generic radio face and hopefully to the casual car radio theif a quick look through the window will look boring and move on to the next car with the obvious aftermarket dash install kit.
Now I can run the torque app plus the if I need or want to change apps I don't have to sit in the damm car all I have to do is pull the phone out of its hiding place and bring it indoors to add or change something plus upgrading to a more powerful android phone is easy...just find a cracked screen phone on ebay or CL, plug in MHL connector and done!.
