Hi all,

Today I drove my car after two weeks of inactivity and ES File explorer installs only certified apk.

why did it happen?

Any solution?

P.S. Even SCT doesn't play not certified app.
[Connected Car] rendesp:
I really can't find the fila packages.xml... Got into my data folder and it's empty... can you help me?
[Connected Car] RichieB:
You need to be root to see the contents of /data/system. What software are you using to "get into" it?
[Connected Car] rendesp:
Im using ES FILE EXPLORER...
[Connected Car] chris.lu:
Any help? :crying:
[Connected Car] rendesp:
Managed to access the files into data/system... changed the certificates from 1 to 0... but still shared user error on installation... :(
[Connected Car] RichieB:
Are you trying to change the cert for the "com.parrot" user to be able to run the Asteroid Smart media player? You need to look up the cert number for com.parrot.ActiveSources in your packages.xml and use the same cert number for "com.parrot" as well. Also, you might have to remove the section for "com.parrot.mediaplayer" because it will not match the new apk.
[Connected Car] RichieB:
What do you mean with "certified apk"? As far as I know, all Android systems including the SCT will only accept signed APKs. Please explain exactly what you are trying to do and what errors you are seeing. Only then perhaps we can help you.
[Connected Car] rendesp:
Managed to do everything... when installing it says file already exists... I changed the stock media player name to .bak.. but still same result

What I did:

- checked the cert number for Activesource = 1

- changed the cert number for com.parrot from 0 to 1

- removed the com.parrot.mediaplayer line commands

- changed the name of com.parrot.mediaplayer.apk to bak extension

- rebooted

Result on installing: file already exists...

But my media player is still the stock from sct
[Connected Car] chris.lu:
I can't install not signed app (like modified app or downloaded from forum) as I did before..
[Connected Car] RichieB:
I am not sure what you did before, but I have never been able to install apk's without a valid signature on the SCT.
[Connected Car] hayatesan:
Well, I still can't manage to have Waze saving its settings with this...

I'm not familiar with Tasker as I use Llama on my phone. I installed Tasker on the SCT, created a profile using "on system shutdown" then using the file you provided. Is this the right way? Probably not as it doesn't work for me... :(

Anyone has been able to have Waze keeping its settings?

My tomtom 'modified' app now doesn't Work.. [emoji22]
[Connected Car] RichieB:
Just buy it in the Google Play store. The official version works fine for me.
[Connected Car] chris.lu:
We can't buy the old version of tomtom, no more. The new version is not compatible with SCT.

However, I think that I have to do the step 3 of the guide again:

3 - Alter /system/build.prop to ro.parrot.install-all=true

[Connected Car] RichieB:
I am running TomTom Europe 1.3.2 which was released in April 2013, and seems to be the latest version available. That page also says: "Required Android 2.2 and up", SCT is at 2.3.7 so this should be no problem.
[Connected Car] RichieB:
Instead of installing the new (Astroid Smart original) com.parrot.mediaplayer.apk I simply place it inside the /system/app directory:

mv /system/app/com.parrot.mediaplayer.apk /system/app/com.parrot.mediaplayer.apk.org
cp /mnt/sdcard/apk/com.parrot.mediaplayer.apk /system/app/
chmod 644 /system/app/com.parrot.mediaplayer.apk

You also want to use the ActiveSources apk:

cp /mnt/sdcard/apk/com.parrot.ActiveSources.apk /system/app
chmod 644 /system/app/com.parrot.ActiveSources.apk

Then reboot.
[Connected Car] chris.lu:
This is the last one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tomtom.gplay.navapp

I can't buy 1.3.2 version. I can buy only the last one but it's not compatible with sct.

I bought copilot for my nexus and even if it's not compatible with sct, i exported apk from phone and installed on sct and it works fine.
[Connected Car] rendesp:
I think I'm using the wrong media player file... Where can I find the original Asteroid Smart media player file?
[Connected Car] RichieB:
Here is the Asteroid Smart MediaPlayer.
[Connected Car] RichieB:
Ok, I see what you are saying now. TomTom released a new app called Go Mobile, and the old apps are no longer for sale (even though it looks that way in the Play Store). The new app requires Android 4.0.3 or newer. This was bound to happen of course. Hopefully TomTom will still support the old apps with map updates and traffic service for many years. :-/

That is just luck. When an app is compiled to a certain Android API level, it is bound to use certain functions that are simply not available or earlier Android versions.
[Connected Car] rendesp:
Did what you mentioned... Worked!1 Thanks a lot!!

The only thing that is not working is the button AudioFX... The button doesn't open the equalizer.. Any workaround for that?

Also I lost the commands to change music on the wheel.. Is there any fix?
[Connected Car] RichieB:
Good to hear you got it working. AudioFX won't be of much use for the SCT. This is explained in these 2 posts.

If you Prev and Next buttons on the wheel and dashboard no longer function, the Android Media Buttons are probably mapped to another app. I simply removed all other media apps and this fixed it for me. You can try a Media Button Router instead.
[Connected Car] rendesp:
Uninstalling the other players worked as as charm!! Thanks for the patience and help!

One more thing.. Im having an issue scrolling thru the icons after installing ADW Launcher.... I have many columns of icons, but when scrolling thru the icons with the roller button on the wheel, it's impossible to move the marker to other column. The selection marker keeps changing thru the icons at the same columns always... Any configuration for that?
[Connected Car] RichieB:
Nope. That is something only the developer of ADW Laucher can fix. If you ask him, maybe he will.
[Connected Car] rendesp:
Thanks for everything! I think I have the first hacked Volvo SCT running in Brasil!!
[Connected Car] Longkesh:
Do you know any other launcher that will work together with the wheel buttons?
[Connected Car] RichieB:
No, I don't. I use ADW and my fingers. :D

rooting and Lockfile exists

My dealer put an update of SCT, so I have root it again. When I am driving, the app stops running.

So I do:

1. Download Android Terminal Emulator from Google Play Store on Your rooted SCT.

2. Once installed, run Android Terminal Emulator under Applications

3. touch the screen - the keyboard pops up

4. Type in "su" press ENTER

5. It should ask wether You allow Superuser or not, choose the "Allow" option.

6. Type in "rewhitelist.sh" press ENTER

7. Type in "reboot" press ENTER

After step 6 is on the screen: Lockfile exists

Is there anybody how know to solve this?

When Flitsmaster is running and the car is driving, there is a text on SCT: Voor uw eigen veiligheid is deze toepassing niet beschikbaar tijdens het rijden.

Dear RichieB,

I have a problem again :o

I installed MX Player for video and it' s good. I want a music player; mp3, mp4, flac,... SCT doesn't play flac files.

PlayerPro and jetAudio Player installed but they aren't see flac files (see only mp3), I like jetAudio, it's quality app.

I installed Poweramp App with Unlocker but it didn' t work, false code "sorry! the app. poweramp (process com.maxmpz.audioplayer) has stopped unexpectedly".

is there a app. that runs all music and video files (mp3, mp4, flac,..) and compatible with SCT?

What do you suggest I do?

thanks for everythings :)

[Connected Car] RichieB:
I had the same experience with PowerAMP crashing. I found all 3rd party media players except MX Player lacking in performance because they do not use hardware acceleration.

SCT map problem.

Hello All,

I have one problem and hope you could help me.

Two weeks ago I bought an SCT system for my car and the install it in the car in the VOLVO service.

I tried the google maps but for every search I got the answer "no results". The other functions worked well only the maps has this problem.

I updated the system with the newest firmware. And it changed the google maps to Bing.

The problem is Bing not able to make route planning only searching, automaticly forward the navigation ti iGo. So I lost the function to choose maps and iGo.

Possible to downgrade the system? Or I have to root the system?
[Connected Car] chris.lu:
Yes, you can downgrade sct firmware. Put the firmware you want to install in a usb pen and manual upgrade your sct in settings.

---------- Post added at 10:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------

Today, some apps of SCT stopped working. I uninstalled and then installed them in the internal memory but I did not succeed: Application not installed (aptoide, waze and coyote). If i install apps from play store all works.

Any help?
[Connected Car] Indigen:
From where can I download it?
[Connected Car] RichieB:
Search for PLF in this tread. You will find the EU versions I posted.
[Connected Car] farukf:
Dear RichieB,

There are 3 media apps on My SCT ;

1- Original Media Player of SCT

2- Neutron Neon 1.78.4

3- MX Player Pro 1.7.28

I tested them, (2),(3) good apps and they are stable. I think; problem occuring if two app. working at same time. They are working proberly if the app works one by one (shouldn't work on backround); I stopped them with Manage App. of SCT Menu. Can we do with TASKER when running an app process to stop the other two apps ? and How?

I have Tasker_v1.6u.2, which last version tasker compatible with SCT. I'm trying to learn Tasker but not easy for me :D

iGO maps update - no free updates available

Tried to search maps update on https://www.naviextras.com. No success.

I have contacted my dealer (Riga, Latvia, EU) regarding iGO maps update. I have MAP DATA EU, 2013 Q1 by NAVTEQ (8Gb). I was told that I'm the first one who is asking this question and they need to write to Volvo main service. In Russian manual (http://www.parrot.com/uk/support/sensus-connected-touch/) it is written that free maps updates will be available within 3 years (no such information in manuals in any other languages). After a week they (guy from service) told me that there will be no free updates for maps at all and there is typo in Russian manual. If I want to have maps updated I need to pay 400 EUR for new SD card with updated maps.

At http://www.volvocars.com/uk/top/sup...ed-touch-faq.aspx?category=Applications+-+iGo is written

"You update iGO via the SD card provided by Volvo dealers. There is no load time required after installation of the SD card. Updated map data will be available once a year in conjunction to the model year shift."

I have successfully copied iGO folder to my another 16GB SD card for backup and it works on my SCT also (don't see any SD card protection). However I see that the following license files have been downloaded from Internet:

iGO/license

488 Jun 19 2013 Parrot_Volvo_ACU_ENGINE_PROD.lyc

iGO/license/downloaded_licenses

3160 Nov 21 2013 Parrot_Volvo_ACU_EU_2012_Q4.lyc

3176 Jan 1 2013 Parrot_Volvo_ACU_EU_2012_Q4_trial.lyc

1704 Nov 21 2013 Parrot_Volvo_ACU_FEUR_TMC_2013_Q1.lyc

2216 Jan 1 2013 Parrot_Volvo_ACU_FEUR_TMC_2013_Q1_trial.lyc

I tried to manually update maps and POIs (by files substitution) from different torrents (e.g. iGo Navteq Europe Maps 2014.Q1) but then the map is not shown in iGO. Restored maps work.

I guess the only way to have maps updated is to crack iGO app. Let me know if you need iGO maps. I'm ready to share them if this helps to keep them update without paying the unfair price to VOLVO.
[Connected Car] RichieB:
This is explained in detail above. If you have problems, post the errors.

Yes, changing the cert number is required for the new apk to work.

Sure, for example using the sed script I posted.

Your screenshot shows a "read-only file system" error. You need to mount /system read-write before you begin.

No, the Bluetooth part of Android is disabled on the SCT so you can connect with the Volvo Sensus system using Bluetooth.
[Connected Car] farukf:
Hi,

I didn' t change cert number (I still don't understand) and at this time I made a mistake (with terminal emulator); before "remount.sh system-rw and Code:

mv /system/app/com.parrot.mediaplayer.apk /system/app/com.parrot.mediaplayer.apk.org

cp /mnt/sdcard/apk/com.parrot.mediaplayer.apk /system/app/

chmod 644 /system/app/com.parrot.mediaplayer.apk

You also want to use the ActiveSources apk:

Code:

cp /mnt/sdcard/apk/com.parrot.ActiveSources.apk /system/app

chmod 644 /system/app/com.parrot.ActiveSources.apk

Then reboot."

now, my sct's media source don' t work, is it come back? or how is work new media player? :crying:

what should I do! I will happy if you tell me basicly

thanks

farukf
[Connected Car] RichieB:
It will come back after you fix your packages.xml.

First lookup the cert index for the com.parrot.audioservice package:

grep -i -A 2 com.parrot.audioservice /data/system/packages.xml

Then fix /data/system/packages.xml for “com.parrot” user. Replace the 9 with the index number found above.

cd /data/system
awk '/shared-user name="com.parrot" userId="10005"/ { uid=1 } uid==1 && /index=/ { uid=0; $2="index=\"9\"" } { print }' packages.xml > packages.xml.new
mv packages.xml packages.xml.bak
mv packages.xml.new packages.xml

Third remove com.parrot.mediaplayer from packages.xml:

cd /data/system
awk '/<package name=\"com.parrot.mediaplayer\"/ { p=1; q=0 } /<\/package>/ { q=1 } { if (p!=1) print; if (q==1) p=0 }' packages.xml > packages.xml.new

Steering Wheel buttons & Asteroid Mini Apps

Hello,

Is it possible to map Steering Wheels buttons ? I would like to use them to do specific actions such as go to ACU Home page when running waze. Today I have only the exit option, but when you use instead off keeping the waze in background and go back to home page it perform an action to close the app.

hi,

i recently rooted my sct following this guide. installed the adw launcher, torque, music player and an app to change the theme's of my torque app. now this all went fine and witouth any issues ( i was amazed a little tho, since i dont understand half of the stuff you guys talk abouth on here :p )

but today when i started my car, i got a message as the SCT was starting up. saying that my adw launcher had stopped working and thus blocking the whole thing with a black screen. the only thing that did work was the voice control that still worked!

i rebooted a couple times and after a 15 min drive the screen popped up again and seems to be working just fine once again! now i'm a little scared it would happen again so have any of you had a similar problem? if so what should i do to make sure this doesnt happen again?

Re-rooting problem

Hello Everyone, great topic here and it's full of great information.

I have got a 63 2013 MY13 S60 D5 R-Design lux nav with a retro-fitted SCT.

This is my first post, I have read most of this thread and cannot see anything that would look like a cure to my problem.

A couple of weeks ago I rooted my SCT and it worked first time, following the instructions at the beginning of this thread.

My car had a noise coming from behind dash, and my local Volvo booked it in to remove and re-fit dash, centre console and RE-fit SCT, so I un-rooted the SCT with the latest update file from Volvo as described in this thread. The super admin app was removed and it looked like it was un-rooted.

Since I have done this, I cannot now root my SCT, it does step 1 OK, but when it tries to do step 2, tries to change the permissions, it just stops and does not go back to the prompt to let me press 3 for next step.

If anyone has any ideas or clues, any help would be great.

SDmech
[Connected Car] RichieB:
Just reinstall the original SCT software image. This will reverse all changes you have made to the SCT. If you only want the old media player back, reverse the steps you took to replace it. Indeed this does include changing the cert index in packages.xml again.
[Connected Car] RichieB:
Is there anything shown on the SCT screen while executing step 2? Like SuperSU asking for permission?

If everything else failes, reinstall the SCT software image and reroof.

Just to let you lads know that I have fixed my SCT re-rooting problem.

It was all down to the laptop I was using.

I guess it was the laptops permissions that were causing the incorrect communication.

Once I used my pc (which is what i used first time) it worked again first time.

Strange how the communication with the SCT worked from my laptop for the first steps , but did not allow the changing of permissions.

So if anybody else gets that problem change the machine that is running the script.
