Very interesting:

J1 (Black) :

Constant power

GND

Lin-bus

J2 (Blue)

Audio out(L, R , GND)

Audio in (microphone, GND)

Touch frame plug :

Usb D+, D-, +5v, GND - you can try to connect something else to this to rescue the locked SCT

GPS antenna:

Signal, GND - Signal wire is also used to power the GPS amplifier inside antenna(5V).

So now the situation is as following:

Can bus wires are not shown? or

during SCT software installation the Volvo CEM is reprogrammed and routes limited CAN data (VIN,Parking brake, steering wheel and center panel buttons) to LIN bus.

At least one chip inside SCT is a micro controller with multiple can bus inputs...

Can you check from wiring diagrams where the Lin-bus is connected?

What do you think?

Btw... Found diagnostic code SCT. Dial #342400#. Unverified. Info from VIDA.
[Connected Car] jaanusj:
I have no idea what is the function of this unit...maybe they first designed the SCT with additional Lin gateway for can bus signal. Or the unit can be for SCT diagnostics.

Most simple to understand how it really gets data would be to make picture of the existing SCT wiring loom to see the connections between SCT, ICM and IAM...
[Connected Car] AAT:
So it is. The manual is written -

to diagnose SCT(ACU)

[Connected Car] Gray1:
Tried Yours rewhitelist.apk. I'm not sure if it is stand along appliction or it needs any library or tasker... but as for me - doesn't work.

Installed, opened, asked for SU permission... but nothing added to whitelist. It should add all installed applications to whitelist?
[Connected Car] noten093:
Should work as

$ su
# rewhitelist.sh

with Terminal

Then reboot:

$ su
# reboot

You should do that everytime you install a new APK. With the whitelist.apk there is no need to use terminal.
[Connected Car] RichieB:
These apks simply start the scripts in /system/xbin so you need rewhitelist.sh and remount.sh there. If you rooted using the menu script they should be there already. Also, rewritelist needs a reboot before the new whitelist becomes active.
[Connected Car] Gray1:
I'm old SCT user ;), so I made root from first solution, without scripts ;). As I understand I should put script to /system/xbin, than whitelist.apk will be able to work.

Of course I rebooted system to aplly changes.

thx
[Connected Car] noten093:
Hello AAT. I installed Vida on Windows 8.1 with Windows 7 compatibility mode. But I don't get any shortcuts. http://localhost/Vida/login.do is not working either. I saw on rutracker.org that you tried the same route? The translation is quite bad.

Do I need a patch?
[Connected Car] donaldta:
I'm pretty sure his APKs were created by Tasker App Factory. In which case, it is calling up my script, "rewhitelist.sh", from the /system/xbin directory. So, you'll need to have had manually copied it there or have installed using the latest menu.bat file.

Camview for USB cameras

I got the CAMVIEW app for Asteroid. I installed it and it seems to be functioning. I do not have a UVC compatible webcam yet. It should work with these compatible cams. It should work with up to 4 cams.

UPDATE: It doesn't seem to work with the Parrot Smart. So it will unlikely work with SCT.
[Connected Car] AAT:
In the folder \VIDA have files? See screenshot. If not - installation failed. Use this installation MANUAL, there in the picture is clear. Do not forget to apply the "medicine" ;). Do not reboot PC ! Pass admin.

Today I went for it and did almost everything there is to. Update, root, lots of adb and then some. Ok, not before I went through about 80 pages of trail and error and finding that desired missing apk or text. But you guys made it so much easier for me! So thanks to all who contributed! Especially Getiem, donaldta for all there efforts, but of course all others.

This why we love Android en what made my choice for SCT obvious.., eventually... ;)

Thanks again.
[Connected Car] santu001:
After a long Sunday of all things SCT, I'd like to share a first attempt of a SCT GUI. I must admit, it's probably a bit to crowded and a bit to much information, but like a said, it's a first attempt. A concession, because most of my beloved widgets weren't compatible (HD Widgets, Beautiful Widgets, Yahoo Weather and so on - anybody know of a ideal SCT weather widget?- ). I like to have all most used features on the first screen, since all that unnecessary swiping isn't the safest way while doing some intense driving... :laugh:

So yes, crowded!!! Then again, we're just beginning to explore and a cleaner GUI will surely follow, still I just had to share...
[Connected Car] noten093:
Looks nice Claudio. Are you still in 240dpi?

This is the best Weather widget for me. You can make a 100% transparant background.
[Connected Car] donaldta:
Heh, heh. I thought that the APK that you attached was the one by Andrei Mandychev for the Asteroid Smart and Tablet not the one by Jeffrey Fredric Queißer. The latter will only work with the Asteroid Classic and has not been updated to work with the second generation Asteroid devices. The APKs for Classic firmware 1.0 and 2.0 updates has been available for a long time within the description of the CamView app: Parrot Asteroid using a webcam as rear view camera video as well as the Parrot Developer's Forum.

I tried already tried it with Asteroid Smart using two different UVC compatible cameras and the response never changed. I'll be amazed if it will actually do more for the SCT.
[Connected Car] santu001:
I used density for lcd to set 200dpi. didn't get the pro version as of yet. About beautiful weather app. I used it on other devices, but I couldn't get it on SCT as it stated it was not compatible. I'll will have another look since it's clearly possible and maybe I get this massage due to the screen resolution limitation. I have HD widgets on my Galaxy Tab 10.0 now and I think that's the best one ever. You can image how disappointed I was that I couldn't use it on SCT. The one I use now has a fixed location. I may look somewhat nice, but it's pretty useless in that matter.

By the way, have you tried to enhance screen resolution even further..?

Another thing I thought of. I remember - in the old days - using the app SetCPU a lot, Nobody tried to use it on SCT the get rid of some of (audio) hickups and get a little more juice out of SCT?
[Connected Car] noten093:
Sorry I waisted your time. Anyway now we know it doesn't work. I will edit my post.

Did you see my logcat about the SMM and shutdown command?
[Connected Car] donaldta:
You might want to give One More Clock Widget Free a try. It has the option to use a fixed location or follow the device for weather updates. I'm quite fond of the clean look of their "Chrome Rings" which resembles the Motorola's CircleWidget3D that comes with the Razr M Launcher.
[Connected Car] fmpin:
Yes I can confirm that I'm using the Google play version of Spotify ! That is definitely better

But I was thinking to keep also the old one as "emergency" and now I understand that this "preload" is essential for using it:

"Start proc com.parrot.spotify for service com.parrot.spotify/.mediaengine.SPMediaProvider"

So I'll not remove anything

I've also another question..

I saw different images with different launcher, I'd like to implement something, but I think that the best thing will be modify the Volvo original one that is quick and nice.

There is any way to do it ?

I saw something in first page, but also if I understand well there is an opportunity to "change the target" of some exit icons (es. Tune in ecc.)

Thanks for your help
[Connected Car] donaldta:
No worries. I have no problem testing things out. Just wanted to point out which apk it was just in case anyone else had the same expectations. Besides, we don't know for sure it doesn't work on the SCT. All I can do is confirm it doesn't work for the Asteroid Smart.

This one?

The only thing that stands out to me is related to the /system/xbin/smm messages. If I would guess, SMM is something similar to System Management Mode for Intel processors. However, I am not sure about it since neither this file nor these messages are applicable to the Asteroid Smart. My headunit goes into Airplane mode and turns off the display when the key is removed for the ignition. Jaanusj was actually the one asking about it. All I did was help you understand how to get the logcat messages which lead up to a shutdown.

Perhaps you can provide more insight to [MENTION=1307020]noten093[/MENTION]'s logcat post.

I haven't had a chance to do much with the ACU home launcher. With jannusj's help, I was finally able to get it installed on the Asteroid Smart. But for some reason, I cannot get it working in an Android Virtual Device, so I haven't been able to fiddle with it much. Perhaps [MENTION=2123836]jaanusj[/MENTION] can provide you with better assistance.
[Connected Car] noten093:
Yes I tried 120dpi. Very nice but maybe the screen is too small then for good operation. Although ADW can enlarge your icons. You can also change the build.prop and set in manually to 200 by changing the value 240 to 200. But don't make any typing mistakes. E.G. 202 will probably brick your system in a boot loop.

Anybody willing to experiment on the hardware by replacing everything with a Galaxy S4? :D I can lend you my soldering iron...
[Connected Car] donaldta:
I'm just going to repost my original message regarding changing density.
[Connected Car] noten093:
I will copy the SMM file to my computer to examine it. With my unexperienced mind I hope to find understandable lines in the file like Transition_Exec. Maybe I can flip the expression from shutdown to alive or just block this line. How high is the chance of bricking the SCT if I just rename the SMM file to test it out?
[Connected Car] fmpin:
Thanks a lot !
[Connected Car] noten093:
Yes..Most of the SCT upgrades are initially given by Donaldta. Last Saturday I was explaining to my fellow SCT rooters that at first I had not read his post well enough and instantly tried resolutions with the dangerous LCD Density Modder pro. So stupid. I was lucky to pick the compatible resolutions. Everybody laughed about my trigger happines. Now it seems like playing Russian roulette.
[Connected Car] santu001:
In "the old days - not that long ago" I crashed my HD2 quit a lot. Luckely you could always use the boatloader en revert back to stock or the previous rom. But now, with this overexpensive piece of equipment only execable through ABD, you need to be carefull, very carefull. :eek: :D

Still love to see your eagerness... :laugh:

One question though, how did you get beautiful widget to work. Not through Playstore I suppose?
[Connected Car] bluesbroeder:
I use Android Weatherwidget. Works also very good. From google I receive the message that the app is not compatible with SCT, but no problem at all.

The music player is that from google Spotify?
[Connected Car] santu001:
Thanks I will try all suggestions. Only thing, the not compatible text replaces the download option, otherwise I would have already tried.

The player you see is from Player Pro. A player I use on my One Max, because it allowes gapless play. And I like some of the widgets features and the ability to change cover and artist art very easely. Also it has the ability to organize tags like artist meta-tags etc.
[Connected Car] noten093:
Yes on a Windows Chrome browser and then select ACU Home for the remote install.

Unfortunately, it cannot be determined from the given information. However, making changes in the xbin directory can affect system wide changes. Remember the warning that I posted earlier about BusyBox? That resides in /system/xbin as well. So, be careful and good luck!
[Connected Car] noten093:
Donaldta & Jaanusj, I attached the SMM file for you. Just remove the .zip extension. In my simple logic I need to remove the "SMM_STATE_ACU_ACTIVE" line in this file. My guess is that the script looks if "SMM_STATE_ACU_ACTIVE" is in the list. If yes--> shutdown

I found this Lock Screen Protector . It wil prevent powering down a phone with a non removable battery when in lockscreen. You could set that to be able to track the car when being stolen. But if you don't set the SCT in lockscreen, the SCT will still power down I guess.
[Connected Car] noten093:
Yes I figured this myself. SMM has a lot of system functions
[Connected Car] donaldta:
You'd be surprised just how many headunits use the Parrot CK5050 Bluetooth module. The list includes; Alpine, Advent, Audiovox, Kenwood, and JVC. So, it may not be as uncommon as you might think. However, I am fairly surprised that it is involved with playing music from the SCT as a source. One would hope that it would that there would be third-party players out there that would take advantage of the libOMX.TI.MP3.decode.so library in order for it to use the built-in hardware decoder of the Ti OMAP 3630 processor. Although, I guess it is not surprising since MX Player is one of the few players that takes full advantage of the hardware acceleration for video decoding.

Btw, did you ever figure out the problem with ID3Tags?
[Connected Car] Gray1:
As for me, MXPlayer can't use hardware acceleration when playing any video file - only software acceleration. Or You are speaking about sound hardware decoding? :confused:
[Connected Car] donaldta:
I think you're confusing hardware decoding with hardware accelerated software decoding. If you want to see pure software decoding (without hardware acceleration) then use one of the other video players, like Rockplayer or Moboplayer. Without hardware acceleration to assist software decoding, you'll see a stuttering progression in video frames because the processor is not able handle the frames smoothly.

Btw, in order to use pure hardware decoding on Asteroid Smart, I had to convert my video files to conform to 800x600 resolution. This provides the option to use any video player. Honestly, I think this is because Parrot seems to have left out some library files which allow variable resolutions. Anyways, converting some people's libraries could be very tedious and time consuming. That's why I recommend MX Player for anyone with an OMAP processor.
[Connected Car] santu001:
Did some more work on the project. I used some of the weatherapps you guys mentioned (thanks again) I think I can live with it for now. Love the GPS speed and Odometers on the main screen. I also used Yahoo Weather (older version I found on Internet 1.3 or something), although it's not compatible and actually not functional. It does manage to show weather updates and flickr foto's, but nothing else works. So it doesn't let you scroll or access any settings. When I installing it, the program did mention it needed to download some Google services for it to work Off course I denied that, because it would probably mess everything up. But maybe I should, but was afraid...

Apps I used:

ADWLauncher EX

Android Weather (to bad that you can't get rid of the ads)

Home Switcher /Manager

Analoge Klok Collection HD or Crystal Clock

Drivers Widgets PRO (Pro for transparity)

Android Terminal Emulator

PlayerPro + PlayerPro DSP pack (For gapless play of mp3)

GPS Status

Ultimate Rotation Control - (one week trial-version)

Google Maps (older apk version found in this topic)

Nos Teletekst

Advanced Task killer (For killing aps manually)

My Movies Pro (Just for fun)

Flitsmeister (apk version found in this topic)

Facebook (version in this topic)

YouTube (older apk version in this topic)

Dolphin Browser

Update: Dolphin browser doesn't do a really good job. I'm now using Opera Classic - Don't use Opera Mini because it crashes. Opera classic gives you a really nice and smooth browsing experience. Much better then the stock version.

Voetbal International (Dutch Soccer app - needs Ultimate Rotation Control - Works better online in a browser, especially Opera Classic)

Yahoo Weather (Not fully functional - in landscape mode - and not compatible through Google Play, but widget, weather update, location and photo's work. Apk found online.

Update: This is actually a known Yahoo Weather landscape issue. Force the app into portrait (using an rotation app) and you can enter setup and other features. Used this to setup the app/widget (add more locations and personal menu options and the turn back rotation to landscape.

After trying the safe app LCD screen density to set to 200 I used LCD Screen Modder Pro to set it permanent.

Be very careful. Don't use any other resolution then the original 240 or 200[/B

] for an better resolution. Setting it to other resolutions may brick your unit with no way to recover it.

And some apps I probably forgot to mention... :rolleyes:

The appdrawer button is just something that ADWLauncher offers. I'm not sure if this is also an option in the free version, since I have the paid EX version. If so, look in ADW menu, then add shortcut. then system shortcuts. It should be there along some other options. Since you mentioned you could resize icons - which is also an EX feature -, you must have that option.

How to modify APN settings (port/proxy)?

Trying to make Google Play Music work with USG 4G dongle. I found a hint that it should work if you modify mobile APN configuration removing port and proxy setting.

However, APN configuration in SCT seems to be too restricted, and there is neither port nor proxy entry at all. Do you guys know if there is any way to get access to these "hidden" settings using a third-party app or configuration files?

And has someone had success with running Google music streaming on SCT?
[Connected Car] santu001:
So what happens if you use Wi-Fi tethering through your phone. You can temporary change these settings in your phone's APN, allthough I doubt that your 3G/4G connection will work if you change your port and proxy, but that will be the same if you change it within SCT. You could also try to change these settings in your wireless home Network - if you are within proximity - and check what happens.

Greetings Claudio.

So whatever happend to your guitar avatar? This bassplayer wants to know! :good: :laugh:
