[MENTION=1307020]noten093[/MENTION]: Downgrade your SCT to an older firmware version will definitely work. I'm not sure if there is an easier solution.

The voice options for RTI and SCT are totally independent. They have nothing to do with each other. So don't accept that as an excuse why it is not working.
[Connected Car] noten093:
Mmm.. I had a temporary car with RTI yesterday. I tried the voice on RTI. That was working very nice on navigation and phone calls. Why don't you use it on your RTI? I was even considering getting the RTI as a second device. :confused:

Display Reverts to Large Clock

I rooted the SCT (thanks!) and everything works fine, except that after a few seconds of idle display, the display switches from regular home screen to a large digital clock display on white background. Any selection returns the display to the home screen, but then reverts back again after a few seconds to the large clock display. Has anyone experienced this?
[Connected Car] RichieB:
That sound like some sort of screensaver. I've never seen it on the SCT though.
[Connected Car] RazrHDuser:
It does behave like a screensaver, but there is no setting for that.

Well, before all this I used to have a - believe it or not - Parrot color car-kit. You just push one button and call out any given name and it dials. Most effective. With Sensus it takes several voice commands and confirmations to achieve the same. It's faster to use your callers history, numpad for quick numbers or the phonebook then do the voice command routine. The same goes for RTI. Although I must admit that I do use it sometimes.

Only thing is. I don't use both anymore. I do consider them as the most stable, so they are there as a backup. When all systems fail! ;)

I think the voice thing is a gimmick in general, and I don't find it essential. Still, I do think the best way to utilize it, is in a car environment, so I would like to have it work. But I don't want them mess with the software of SCT. They can only hurt things!

Hi everyone!

Thank you for everything you did ; I followed you since the beginning and it is awesome!

I do have a question, and I couldn't find an answer with the "Search" tool:

I know I have to type a bunch of commands in order to install apk >7M, and it works fine, but I would like to make it automatic.

I tried to make a script (with Script Manager) but I don't know why, it doesn't do anything.

Can you help me to make the installation of Apk >7M automatic? I would like to mount the /cache partition on the SD card automatically at boot in order to install everything I want..

Thank you all! :fingers-crossed:

Waze and Media player

Hi all, first of all a big thank you for the guys who made this all possible, great!

I installed a few apps now, and thy work fine. But I keep having problems installing the 2 apps I want to have most. Waze and a media player.

I got the waze apk from this thread and used menu-3 to install, no error, but I cannot see it in the application screen. Any idea?

I like to have a media player for playing movies from the usb stick or later disk. Richie advised me to use MX Player but when installing via the Store I get an 4.4. error. Any ideas on what version to pick, or does someone have a package?

Thanks!
[Connected Car] noten093:
Hello. You can use the XDA market helper to fool the Google Market so you can have all apps available. Waze from the market is working. As is the package on this forum. I boot Waze with Tasker but when shutting down the car it looses the session and config. At restarting the car I have to login with Facebook again to get the settings back. If you close down Waze before shutting down the car, no problems . Would be nice to get this problem fixed.
[Connected Car] santu001:
Well since my car went to the dealer today for maintenance, I also asked them to check my voice issue again. It just doesn't work on SCT. I told them not to update things, because that isn't going to help. Well I just got a call, and what i was afraid of just happened. The want to replace the unit. Meaning I have to start from scratch again and automatically get the most recent update.

I could just say no, but then this will bother me at the end. I should just work. And since I know I can downgrade or just root with the current firmware, I think I just might give it an effort. "Shall we keep your car and fix it tomorrow?" Well no, let me just backup some stuff first like my ADW and other settings, my packages.xml and so on. So i'm picking up my car and will bring it in later. Gives me some time to think it over... I know what I have now, but the minor voice issue could get a bigger annoyance over time. And it's not that much work... I guess...
[Connected Car] noten093:
Let them replace it. Voice with G Maps and Waze is fantastic. Click-talk-navigate.

---------- Post added at 05:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------

Got this from a forum where they use an intent from Waze with Tasker:

Action: Eliran_Close_Intent

Cat: Default

Target: Broadcast Receiver

What should I use? Will SCT disable the lan adapter before shutting down so this can be used as a trigger and will Waze have time to close down? Maybe somebody can help me to find the right way to clean exit Waze before shutting down SCT when shutting down the car.

Also: the hardware dial key "9" on the dashboard brings up a dialog: exit Waze? yes/no
[Connected Car] RichieB:
Just do a backup with Titanium Backup Root. Go to the schedule tab and run both jobs. The restore takes only a few minutes and you will have everything back! Just don't let them swap the sdcard. The paid version of Titanium Backup is much faster, I highly recommend it.
[Connected Car] chapeau_melon:
Hi Noten, I'm very interested in finding a solution for Waze too.

Same for the audio with Waze that keeps on shutting down the audio of the fm radio ?

Do you also have that dl audio/voice package that doesn't succeed after every potential "reset" of the application ?
[Connected Car] Gray1:
it's interesting thing about buttons.

I saw somerewhere that we can type #reboot# on dashboard and it will work.

Does anyone tried to apply any action on pressing buttons? As for me - it would be greate to have last loaded (working) application while long press "OK" button (as other android devices has).
[Connected Car] noten093:
I only know some for Waze:

- 2 for day/night modus

- 5 for 3d/2d

- 9 for exit

- steer scroll for forward backward on map

I updated to the latest version of SCT via the update menu.bat. At first all looked fine, however, some apps start and fail quickly after (Flitsmeister fails after the initial setup screens) and other apps do not persist their settings (like flitsnav)

I was not able to do a logcat yet, but does anyone already have a clue where to look? I suspect I miss write access on a certain directory.
[Connected Car] RichieB:
I think you mean that you upgraded to the latest SCT firmware, and then used the latest menu.bat to root it again? I'm not sure what could be causing the issues you describe. Logcat might be useful.
[Connected Car] twcoolen:
Indeed you are correct. Rooted via the script.

I suspect it is just an rights issue, since every time I start an app I installed, it launches in virgin mode. All settings which were previously set are discarded.

I think that same rights issue is also preventing Flitsmeister to properly work, since it starts but once it starts to persist configs, it crashes.

Will try to make a logcat when I have my laptop in the car at hand again. Was hoping someone already had a clue where to look.
[Connected Car] RichieB:
Check your free diskspace, both in /data and /sdcard
[Connected Car] santu001:
Hi Richie,

About Titanium Back-up Pro (Bought it already). Did you backup everything or just what you downloaded. I don't think it makes sense to back up IGO and ACUHome and stuff. I have a disk space issue, so I have to make a choice. Or use a different sdcard, backup to dropbox or Google drive - which takes a lot longer. Or be very selective in what to include in the backup.

Especially if I stay on the most recent firmware, even if that's still the question. Nevertheless, I guess I shouldn't backup 'older' data from SCT, just the apps I downloaded and some settings. Or not?

Edit: I managed to free up some space - old apps leave a lot behind -, so the backup went successfully. Still, I can imagine I don't want to back up and restore some stuff!?
[Connected Car] RichieB:
I agree it makes little sense, but since it is the default, I didn't touch it. For restore, I selected "Restore all missing apps + system data". But before you restore make sure you set the DPI to 200 (or lower). Otherwise not all the dialogs fit on the screen. The restore would hang at some point for me, but after a #reboot# I would just select "Restore all missing apps + system data" again and it would finish.

Btw: get a larger SD card. They are so cheap..

Solved: clean exit Waze with Tasker

Yes! Got it working.

Clean exit with a Waze intent started at system shutdown. I attached the Tasker file. Just remove the .zip extension.
[Connected Car] Gray1:
As i understand - it's possible to make such solution for any requed to be shut down app?

Does Tasker highly load system? (without Tasker - Google PlayMusic has some freezes while playing :rolleyes:)
[Connected Car] noten093:
I don't quite understand you. Do you mean that you want to set priority of apps in system?
[Connected Car] Gray1:
sorry, there were 2 questions:

1) is it possible to make such action for any application?

2) Tasker is heavy for our system? (system has old hardware and not fast for common use).
[Connected Car] giglesis:
I'm thanking me because I finally find a way to do it:

I installed SManager (Script Manager) which allows me to start scripts when SCT starts.

And I just created a script thanks to donaldta's post:

#!/bin/bash

umount /cache

mount -t vfat /dev/block/vold/179:1 /cache

df /cache

I just had to specify to SManager to run it at boot and with root privileges.
[Connected Car] noten093:
1) if it has intents . Use an app like quick shortcut maker for example to find out.

2 )not heavy in my opinion

First of all, a huge thanks for all the work you guys have done!

I rooted my SCT a few days back and things seems to be working as intended.

After reading through this thread I was wondering what is the best way of changing DPI on the display.

Android 4.0+

Hello!

Do you have any idea or information about updating to a newer version of Android?

I modified my launcher and everything is really nice, but some apps requires Android 4.x...

Since Android 4.4 is designed to work on old devices, without experiencing any lack of performance, do you think there is something possible to upgrade to Android 4.4?

Thank you everyone :laugh:

[Connected Car] RichieB:
This is the way I do it (from a root shell):

sed -ie 's/^\(ro.sf.lcd_density=\).*$/\1200/' /system/build.prop
[Connected Car] Rankin:
So you set your DPI to 1200? Or what is the recommended value?
[Connected Car] RichieB:
No. \1 means "copy everything between the first parentheses in the regular expression". In this case that would be ro.sf.lcd_density= so the result is:

ro.sf.lcd_density=200

For some strange reason the density is expressed as the inverse of DPI: smaller numbers mean smaller text.

SCT FAQ ? Installation Issue's

Hello,

I have also recently updated my SCT ( V60 ) with the perfect BAT file that has been uploaded to this forum by [MENTION=2984707]gekkekoe123[/MENTION] & [MENTION=5389783]donaldta[/MENTION]. Many thanks!

But I have some issues.

Specs :

V60 PIH SCT 1.49.34

Windows laptop

One click script 4 as provided in the startpost of this topic.

Wifi with an Iphone5 and tethering laptop and SCT on the tmobile 3G network here in holland.

Actions taken :

Downloaded the ZIP file and extracted it to the hard drive of the laptop.

Run the MENU.BAT with administrator rights.

Everything goes perfect from step 1 to 6.

Output from the first steps is here.

Step2 :

Pushing remount.sh script to /data/local/tmp directory.

148 KB/s (1678 bytes in 0.011s)

Changing permissions to script

Remounting /system directory.

mount -o rw,remount -t ubifs ubi0:system /system

ubi0:system /system ubifs rw,relatime 0 0

Copying script to /system/xbin directory.

-rwxr-xr-x root root 1678 2014-04-22 17:22 remount.sh

Removing /data/local/tmp/remount.sh

Press any key to continue . . .

Step 3:

Making backups of /system/build.prop

241 KB/s (4196 bytes in 0.017s)

Changing ro.parrot.install.allow-all from false to true

Press any key to continue . . .

Other steps are normal steps as the rest.

Then the system rebooted and i went to the Google Play store, logged in, searched for Flitsmeister/Waze/Aptiode etc.

But when I click for download it ask me about the rights the app can have, i accept, and then it downloads the full app, and then it says installing, and then i get the error : " Pakketbestand is ongeldig " translation : "package file is invalid"

Then i started option 7 on the menu.bat and typed in the comments below to see the rights for ro.parrot-install-all as was recommended in this forum. But the result you can see below.

$ getpro ro.parrot.install-all

getpro ro.parrot.install-all

getpro: permission denied

How can I install apps from the Play store??

As you can see above I have followed all the steps mentioned in the forum. Also I can acces the Play store now, can also watch youtube movies while driving ( movies that are mentioned for example with Flitsmeister in the Play store ) and have acces via the MENU.bat.

I have an bugreport.txt, but is to big for this forum ? ( Your file of 1.33 MB bytes exceeds the forum's limit of 512.0 KB for this filetype. )

Could someone here help me please with this problem?

Soft Boot Loop Issue

Dear all,

first great thank you for the hard and dedicated programming work done. I think this enhances the SCT greatly and adds value every day!

I am one of the first to have the Asian Version of the SCT installed just two days ago (Software Version 1.49.22 - no newer update available) and rooted my SCT like described in post 1 (the cmd-frama-menu-4.zip way). All worked fine and I also installed additional apps from this post (like old google maps, Power Amp) and also other apps like Baidu Maps, Baidu Music, Ultimate Rotation Control and also Android Terminal Emulator and ES File Explorer.

It all worked and when I do the reboots through my laptop it works fine. But when I park the car over night and start on a new morning, then the car goes in a soft boot loop for around 10 minutes until it is ready.

So I did a factory reset, did all over again because I thought I did a mistake. Also reboots again triggered by my laptop worked fine. Then I used terminal emulator to trigger the rewritewhitelist and that also worked. Now comes the interesting part: when I used $ su and # reboot from the Terminal Emulator then the device rebooted again but went straight into the same strange soft boot loop for around 10 minutes.

As this happens now either way regardless if I install new or not - I don't know what this could be. I didn't change anything else (e.g. like DPI)!! So what is triggering this soft boot loop? Any ideas would be appreciated.

I will try to replace the launcher to ADW today later and will let you know in case this solves the problem, but basically I liked the orginal one.

Thank you for any help!

The "Signatures files not found" probably means the ro.parrot.install.allow-all property is still set to false. It should be set to true in /etc/init.parrot.capabilities.sh during step 5 of menu.bat. You can check the contents of /etc/init.parrot.capabilities.sh using "cat /etc/init.parrot.capabilities.sh" It should have this code as the second line:

If it does, make sure /system/xbin/setpropex exists using "ls -l /system/xbin/setpropex"
