I missed it. Will try that one also.

So my test tomorrow will include:

Original files from SCT:

- Spotify

- Parrot maps

Original file from PAS or PAT

- Asteroid Messenger

Modded files from SCT

- Spotify masterkey

- Parrot Maps masterkey

Modded files from PAS/PAT

- Messenger masterkey
[Connected Car] xadax:
Sadly, executing:

adb install MasterKeysModded-ASTEROID_Messenger_1.100.53.apk

resulted in: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK]

I also rechecked telnetd/telnet with cydiaimpactor, but also: [INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK].
[Connected Car] donaldta:
Would you be able to try the unmodified Asteroid Messenger and the modified Parrot Maps? I sort of have a hunch that either the problem could be related to the keystore signature for the PAS apps which these are based on OR the SCT has a Package Installer that has been patched for bug# 9695860. Additionally, if you could get the respective logcat messages that would be helpful in figuring it out. It would also be helpful if you can test reinstalling a SCT app over itself to see if it is possible.

This tells me that the method they use to create the modded APKs is not compatible with the SCT's Package Installer.

The apks files where do i put those?. On the sd card?. Or in the menu.bat dir? Menu is saying cant find apk
[Connected Car] PeeJeeTee:
I put the apk files in a folder named "apks". It is a subfolder of the folder where menu.bat is located.
[Connected Car] PeeJeeTee:
I tried it in settings, but that didn't work (there was no option for delete/uninstall). After that i tried "App Manager"(by Sand Studio), but there was no menu option to uninstall (only run and detail). The same for other apps (even the ones that work).

I started menu.bat again and choose 8 (the shell) There I typed: adb uninstall com.sygic.aura

I don't remember exactly what the response was, but it was something like no access rights:rolleyes:. Can someone confirm if the command was correct and does anybody know why :confused: i can't uninstall? Thanks!:o
[Connected Car] drandy2:
didnt try the map APKs in the menu map, so it did work :good:

btw the filename of an apk should be without spaces, (the one found here for google maps, has a space)

i found out something very interessting, i did something that whitelist all apps :D

I edited the whitelist and addes Maps, i thought i will upload.edit this by using option 5 or 4 (the one with rewhitelist), got a lot of errors, but then everything was ok. And everything was whitelisted.
[Connected Car] RichieB:
You just need to run rewritelist.sh from the shell. No need to use menu.bat again. In the shell, use "su" to get root.
[Connected Car] santu001:
Well better late then never, but this problem was probably introduced in the 147.96 software, because I have it to and didn't update yet. Player Pro doesn't have this issue though!
[Connected Car] RichieB:
Thanks for confirming this bug, [MENTION=2433122]santu001[/MENTION]. I E-mailed Volvo to ask for a fix.

There is another issue that is bugging me. I think it was introduced when I upgraded from 1.47.88 to 1.49.34. Whenever I start my car, the first button press on the steering wheel (or keypad) is ignored by SCT. This can be exit, next, prev, whatever. It is just ignored. The second press works, and after that all buttons work normally. Does anyone recognize this problem?
[Connected Car] santu001:
Now that you mention it, it does sound familiar. I just thought that was due to the system still being busy booting. I will check and confirm later.

I'm still having trouble with the need to update. We don't get a higher API level, nor does it provide any of the needed or usefull fixes, puts even more restrictions, give us Bing? Doesn't ever offer you new apps in their appstore!? And the only thing that really changes - sort of - is IGO. An app where you normally get your - most recent - updates throug Google Play!

Or am I missing something crucial?

Sometimes I wonder? Why so difficult! Why can't we have what we have in our backpockets. I never feel the need to root my HTC. I pretty much have everything I want there and more. I know! Maybe that's all just because it feels so logical, Android in your car! No limits! It's not common, but it has the potential to be a hit. So I don't really understand this Apple thing! And therefore, I don't understand why they went to all the trouble of addressing the app "problem". Leaving you to their system, but didn't improve much!? Then again, that could explain the Apple thing! :)

Hello Santu,

My dealer asked what I thought about my V60 PIH. I told him lots of things about the SCT and what was possible now. He waited for me to finish and asked again: But what about the car...?

I must say that playing with the SCT at first was clouding the car experience. It was only during my trip to Austria that I started to enjoy my car fully and did not focus on my SCT all the time.

I hope they will offer a new SCT unit with upgraded possibilities and HDMI-in soon. Waiting time for IGO to boot is too long and stuttering or crashing while running multiple apps is a annoyance.
[Connected Car] santu001:
Ha ha, i can imagine your dealers reaction. Luckily I have my car for a while now, enjoying it quit enough on my many trips to Italy amoung others. SCT just gave it a boost and especially since rooting. I sort of justifies the investment. With my comment I was just realizing how quickly it feels so natural and just loving it everyday. I would be a shame if I have to give it all up, when I get a new car. It makes me wonder about future third party solutions. I would love to have the flexibility of modern devices in my car. Maybe I'll just integrate a tablet or something. I rather doubt Volvo will continue with Android technology. It's just to easy to crack and they probably don't like that. Does Google make cars? :D

Still, as much as I like Android, I like Volvo to and that the essential part of enjoying my car. ;)

[MENTION=542364]Ritchie[/MENTION]B. I could reproduce the button issue. I have the same effect. Still, I you didn't mention it, I wouldn't have noticed it or found it annoying, but it's there...

The issue with the random playlist reset bothered me so much that I downgraded to 1.47.96. Strangely enough the menu4 rooting did not work properly. It did patch init.parrot.capabilities.sh but after a reboot this did not change ro.parrot.install.allow-all to true. /system/xbin/su was installed but did not work. When using su it was waiting for a few seconds before returning to the user (not root) prompt. Almost if it was waiting for SuperSU to acknowledge the su. But I never saw the SuperSU pop-up.

Instead of troubleshooting this, I did another downgrade to 1.47.88 and used menu2 to root. No problem at all. :D

So downgrading is possible, but it does wipe out all apps and settings. Luckily I use Titanium Backup which restored everything very easily.
[Connected Car] PeeJeeTee:
Thanks for your reply. However (sorry for being a nitwit) can you tell me how to do this in "dummy" language? You say not to use menu.bat, but that is where i know there is a shell (option 8). Is there another way to use a shell? I tried it there (option 8) with:

su<ENTER>

rewritelist.sh<ENTER>

But the response is that rewritelist.sh is unknown.

Wrong commands? Not in root? I hope you can help me (again).

[Connected Car] noten093:
No shell. Use the hardware dial keys under your SCT dashboard.

Verstuurd vanaf mijn GT-I9505 met Tapatalk
[Connected Car] RichieB:
You can use a Terminal Emulator right on the SCT, or you can run an ssh server so you can connect to your SCT using PuTTY. Using menu.bat is really not needed after rooting. But yes, it will still work for getting a shell.
[Connected Car] santu001:
Thanks for confirming this. This is a very good thing to know. Did this fix the playlist issue? Good information to add to the startpost!
[Connected Car] RichieB:
Yes it did. The mediaplayer remembers the playlist now! :victory:
[Connected Car] noten093:
Guys. I am not happy by far with playing music and navigating at the same time on my SCT. It keeps stuttering. Even when using IGO and ACU player. Also mp3 tags are not my choice. I prefer folder browsing. The Sensus USB connection works better for me. Am I doing something wrong?

Verstuurd vanaf mijn GT-I9505 met Tapatalk
[Connected Car] PeeJeeTee:
I just tried the several advises i found here. First i installed the Terminal Emulator on my SCT. Started this shell and typed (the bold part):

$ su<ENTER>

# rewhitelist.sh<ENTER>

# reboot<ENTER>

no errors, no messages

after restarting there was still no way to uninstall sygic. I don't know how to unistall from the shell in the SCT.

Next i tried the shell from menu.bat again:

$ adb uninstall com.sygic.aura<ENTER>

adb uninstall com.sygic.aura

adb: permission denied

$ su<ENTER>

su

# adb uninstall com.sygic.aura<ENTER>

adb uninstall com.sygic.aura

adb: not found

# exit<ENTER>

exit

I have the latest version of SCT and there are other programs i cannot uninstall.

Maybe important: If the SCT (re)starts, there is a message that com.parrot.audiosettings failed.

I have a feeling the rooting process encountered a problem. Can someone help me out?
[Connected Car] RichieB:
The rooting went fine. If su gives a # as result, you are root. The command (from a root shell) to uninstall an app is:

pm uninstall com.sygic.aura

To see all installed apps use:

pm list packages
[Connected Car] PeeJeeTee:
Thanks for your reply. I'll try it in an hour or so. You say the rooting went fine. Can you tell me why i see sygic as an installed app in the play store, but without a button to delete as you would normally expect? Also no option to uninstall via settings in the SCT. Same goes for a few other apps.
[Connected Car] PeeJeeTee:
Just tried to execute the above. Both the shell on the SCT and menu.bat give Failure as a response to the command.

pm list packages gives the expected list. This includes com.sygic.aura.

When giving the reinstall command (install -r), the SCT responds with a message that there is not enough memory.

I also tried to uninstall com.parrot.audiosettings (because it gives an error on system startup), this was also unsuccesfull.

Does someone know what to do?
[Connected Car] santu001:
I'm thinking that maybe you have to many side apps installed. :laugh: Not sure, just guessing. :confused: I do get occasional hick ups with the Parrot media player, but they are seldom and only when I run everything I have. And then it's still very rare. Not even worth mentioning. If you experience it again, you can try using an app killer and see what causes to drain your resources.

I have found that deleting all necessary app gave me a nice and fast system. To the point that I asked myself, do I need/want this in my car... For the record, I didn't update. I'm still on 147.96. And very happy with it.

If only there was a way to turn ACUplayer into a homescreen widget. Even as little what you get in the notification bar. That would be the only reason to use a third party music player for me.
[Connected Car] noten093:
I will check it. At this time I can only think of Flitsmeister

Verstuurd vanaf mijn GT-I9505 met Tapatalk
[Connected Car] PeeJeeTee:
Thanks. I hope you can help. Flitsmeister is also installed and works fine. It seems that this app can be uninstalled (but i don't want to). Sygic however doesn't work, so i want to uninstall it.
[Connected Car] noten093:
Hey PJT

I quoted the wrong text. I was referring to the stuttering.

Verstuurd vanaf mijn GT-I9505 met Tapatalk
[Connected Car] RichieB:
Whenever you encounter a problem, look at the logs first. If you can't figure them out, post them here. In this case, run:

logcat -c
pm uninstall com.sygic.aura
logcat -d

Then see if there are are any hints in the log that indicate why the uninstall failed.

We already know com.parrot.audiosettings does not work on the SCT. How did you install it? This is a system apk that usually lives in /system/app. You cannot "pm uninstall" apks from /system/app. To verify where your com.parrot.audiosettings lives, type:

pm path com.parrot.audiosettings

iPhone USB Tethering

Hi everybody, since a week I am proud owner of a Volvo V40 with SCT :)

First of all I want to thank everybody involved in testing and collecting all data to do fun stuff with the SCT!

I got two questions...

1. is it possible to use USB Tethering on the iPhone? Using WiFi is kinda annoying since you have to wake up the iPhone, goto settings and wait for the SCT to connect (if you don't do that the iPhone does power down the WiFi to safe battery - when plugging in the lightning connector the iPhone checks automatically and you don't have to open settings etc...

2. I installed Google Market as described, it updated itself for one time to Play Market, but the 2nd update does not come - any ideas why?

Thanks!

Michael
[Connected Car] santu001:
Hi Michael.

1. I don't think this is possible, but there are handy apps which automatically switches WiFi hotspot on when your phone connects with Bluetooth on your car. Not sure if there apps like this for IPhone, but I guess there must be some.

2. Normally it should update itself after a few reboots, but if you install aptoide market from Google play on SCT you'll be able to update most apps manually, including Google play. And you can download apps which are not compatible according to Google play store. Very handy to have next to the regular Google play store.
[Connected Car] PlatCraft:
Even though when I leave WiFi and hotspot active on the iPhone it does not connect automatically. I guess the iPhone is not constantly keeping up the WiFi - I have to open hotspot in the settings app and wait for the SCT to connect...

...I experience the same when tethering on my laptop - if tethering is on I can connect anytime using the USB cable and the iPhone goes into tethering mode - for connection via WiFi or Bluetooth I have to open the settings app on the iPhone in order to connect.

...and since Apple is kinda paranoid they do not allow apps to toggle system settings such as WiFi or Tethering :(

[MENTION=237243]play[/MENTION] - thanks I will try with aptoide market

Question: have the audio problems with for example TomTom been fixed?
[Connected Car] PeeJeeTee:
Thank you RichieB (and others) :good: for your help. It is highly appreciated.:highfive:

I used the commands above. The log however was really long and did not make any sense (to me). I then decided to install an app for uninstalling:

Root Uninstaller With this app i could uninstall Sygic. After reboot Sygic seems to be uninstalled. I am still disappointed that Sygic didn't work. Is there someone who has a working Sygic version? I used the (legal :angel: ) trial version of Sygic from Google Play.

/system/app was indeed where the path to com.parrot.audiosettings. I uninstalled it with Root Uninstaller.

EDIT:

I did the rooting procedure again with menu-4. I also installed sygic and don't know why, but all works great (when parked). Tomorrow i'll try everything while driving.
[Connected Car] RichieB:
I just found some of the ACU 1.47.88 GPL source code. If I have some time I'm going to use this to compile ext3/4 kernel modules for the SCT. If anyone is interested I can make an NTFS module as well.

The parent directory shows a McLaren version as well.

Big problem

Hello! I have a big problem I updated my SCT from 1.47.96 to 1:49:34

Now would not boot up properly, it stops at the Volvo logo and after a few minutes it restarts. Does anyone have any suggestions what to do.

Been trying to connect over wifi but it is not working seems like it does not start up wifi on SCT
[Connected Car] RichieB:
The only thing you can do is contact your dealer. If you cannot connect to it using adb, there is very little you will be able to do yourself. The recovery modes that are known for the Parrot Asteroid Smart have never worked for the SCT.

It sounds like the firmware upgrade went wrong. Did you give it enough time to complete? Last time I did it, it took about 15 minutes.
[Connected Car] atTURFx:
Okej thanks for your answer, do you know if the Volvo dealer can see if i have rooting the system
[Connected Car] RichieB:
The dealer can't in this state. If they have some secret way of doing recovery and flash it with the new firmware, it will be unrooted. If they swap out your unit and do forensics on it Volvo Cars/Parrot will probably see some files that indicate rooting in the past. But why would they do that?
[Connected Car] PeeJeeTee:
Sygic also has audio problems.
[Connected Car] RudeDog99:
Which version of TomTom is advised? The Android one or the Asteroid Market one?
[Connected Car] RichieB:
To avoid audio problems, use the Asteroid market version of Tomtom. I don't think you can legally buy it from the SCT. If you have it though, send me a PM. I bought the Google Play version myself.
[Connected Car] bluesbroeder:
I just returned from a long vacation and upgraded the SCT yesterday and rooted it again. Thanks a lot guys, perfect job!

Further I installed the Google Maps from page #137 and have a question regarding this version. Is it possible to bring your search result over to IGO. The standard version which was before in the SCT it was a easy job to perform, but in this version I cannot find it. If this is not possible does someone has the Maps version from SCT SW 1.47.96?

Thanks!
[Connected Car] RichieB:
I use the blue arrow in the lower left corner. Android then asks me if I want to navigate using Google Maps or TomTom.
[Connected Car] bluesbroeder:
Do you use the same version as uplouden at page 137? I have only a blue arrow when I select a route and this one is at the top of pull down menu adn don't ask me which software I like to use to navigate.
[Connected Car] RichieB:
Dumpsys tells me I am running version 6.14.4. I will attach it here.

I've found some more evidence that the SCT music player cannot handle a lot of files. So I have partitioned my USB hard drive in 2 partitions. I've punt 21.000 mp3 files on both partitions. This works just fine! I did notice however that my USBMusic apk starts the last disk in the source list. My most recent music is on the first partition, so I have changed the apk to start the first USB music source.
[Connected Car] noten093:
Did you update and is G Maps with voice and select nav app working? After the update I did not succeed in getting voice running. Also G Maps does not give selection for navigation app after showing the destination. I am currently not so happy as someone decided to crash into the back of my 3 month old V60 PIH..... My car is for heavy fixing @ the dealer.

I have a problem with a few apps where the SCT tells me that the app is not available while driving for my own safety:confused:. Standing still there is no problem. I have this with ADW, Google Maps and Flitsmeister. Flitsservice and Sygic give no problems while driving.

Is this a known issue and is there a solution?:confused:
[Connected Car] santu001:
You need to run 'rewhitelist.sh' and reboot. You can do this in Android terminal or the menu.bat. Menu.bat should have installed the script. Then all apps should work while driving. Do this every time you install new apps.

Ouch, bad luck then...

About SCT booting..?

I am daily puzzled how SCT boots and reboots. Mainly because of the playlist issue RichieB mentioned where he did a downgrade to 147.88 for.

So why am I puzzled? Well I just can't figure out how SCT handles it's shutdowns. Most of the time I start the car in the morning and never get the Volvo startup logo's. It is so fast that I am right at the screen where widgets are loading. It takes about 30 seconds before my system is booted and widgets are active and running, - sometimes a little longer when Google synch starts. I can start playing music in about 30 seconds. I have a very short trip to work. mostly 15 minutes. Then around 5 o clock I go back home and I get the same behavior. Fast boot and playlist and settings are remembered. It just continues where I was.

Still, this is only about 75% of the time, because sometimes It seems to reboot completely and gives me the original Volvo logo and the SCT Volvo logo at start-up. When it does this, it - of course - loses the parrot media player playlist. So like the issue that was reported by RitchieB. But it does so occasionally, most of the time it remembers. If I do a manual reboot - through terminal -, it does do a full reboot and loses current playlists. (Just for the record, Player pro never loses it playlist. Not even when fully rebooting).

So what makes SCT act different? Why does it give me different boot-ups? Does it have something to do with the way you shut down SCT? Because I never close anything, just pull the key and open the door - this shuts the system down. Maybe some app I have keeps SCT alive while idle. I find it strange and I can't make any sense of it...

FTR my version is 147.96

[Connected Car] santu001:
You can easily downgrade your system back to one of the previous version like RitchieB did. It seems that te recent update brings more problems then it solves. According to RichieB you can still use the recent menu.bat on the old version. But if you want this, better check with him for the details.

Since my voice commands never worked I have no experience on the matter. My car is going to the dealer on Monday and I asked them to look again at my issues, but I don't have high hopes that they can fix this. I think it's due to fact that I also have RTI. I believe it's one or the other. Since I don't use voice on rti or phone calls, I liked to have this option on SCT instead of Sensus.
