Updated my JY unit to codu's custom firmware and the latest 2.11 MCU. Scared the crap out of me when it failed the first time, but it just rebooted to recovery, tried again and away it went.

Just came back to find a 4.1 update already...if I had just waited a few hours..haha

Guess I just have to find a offline GPS app and how to assign it to the button now!

Love how this ROM looks!
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:

Airpro is useful and so is Torque to some people, have you factored in putting those apps in system/app in your calculations ?

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
Those 2 apps are about ~29MB combined. They really should be installed in /data/app, since they aren't privileged at all. If Airpin is left in /oem/apk, then the recovery files probably wouldn't fit.

Your first post provided no useful information for anyone to attempt to help you. Please try adding some information about your headunit type (KLD,KGL,GS,etc) and the firmware it's currently on (4.2.2, 4.4.2, 4.4.4, etc).

Also, we are not here to provide you personal tech support.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Sosoalshares:
Its 4.2.2 .. I know you are not for technical support.. Im just asking your help
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
Asking for help is fine, but being impatient when no one responds is bad forum etiquette.

If your sdcard was provided by the vendor pre-loaded with iGO, there should also be an apk on there to reinstall it.

So my radio totally messed up today on 4.4.2, acted like a partial reset was done to the rom, which froze the screen at the launcher selection, froze as invthe touch screen just stopped working, so I went back to 1.99 /4.2.2 rom

Would / could someone possibly do me a big favor? Could they modify the default radio.akp to use something other than the bright grey layout? As when my screen is cold it goes haywire with the bright grey, perhaps a blue / redish orange theme, to match say the VW mk5 colour theme of the dash cluster ?

Or

Extract the 4.4.2 radio apk?

Thanks Bournemouth I ended up solving the English issue. The update I have used though now does not seem to allow me to change OS buy just sticking an image file on SD in the GPS slot ?

I have done a couple of updates in an effort to find a suitable one but this last one seems to have me locked in. I am still in the learning process when it comes to Android systems . I wanted the latest firmware and Operating system, but after the first update my wireless streaming seemed very slow. I also am not that wrapped with the Phone app, the OME one seemed mush better.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
What firmware are you using ? 4.4.2 had a different BT/phone app, 4.4.4 has the same as 4.2.2, try the latest 4.4.4, it was posted last night by coudu, a few pages agao. If your system is not auto recognising the update on the SD card then just go into recovery. If youre using Malaysk's ROM from 4oda.ru then you can press and hold the on/off button at the top right and it will give you the option of rebooting, if not use the reset switch with a pin, or install an app like "quick boot".

So here's a question.

Say I have to turn my car over for maintenance somewhere. I don't want them having access to all my stuff, Google account, etc.

Has anyone found or knows of an app that can lock the unit where it ask for a passcode before it will unlock? Don't want it to ask every time but, say, an app I can run, tell it a passcode and it will keep the unit locked until that is entered. Obviously, when enabled, it would need to persist through a reboot.

Ideas?

Then it would seem you need to either contact your reseller and ask for the sdcard contents, buy iGo (or any other nav app) from the Play Store, or try and locate a copy of iGo through other means.

Either nobody seemed to have had a similar problem or this thread moves just too damn fast. Anyway I got my issue sorted, in case someone might run into the same problem some da here's my 'solution':

In settings there is a car settings section which in German has the option Rückfahrkamera (Rearview cam) and the options an/aus (on/off). I must have played around with those settings assuming they enable the camera, which is suggested by the incorrect translation I guess. Anyway, all this option does is mirror the camera picture.

Wi Fi Seems Slow with KK 4.4 on KGL

Seems I post a lot for a new user but I am trying to gain some understanding. With the OME firmware and OPS I was getting some pretty good download speeds and could get multiple downloads from playstore happening at once. Now after upgrading the downloads no longer seem to multitask and I get connection speed error notices if I try and use a streaming app whilst downloading. I also have noticed a TV app that I could have streaming live video now no longer works. I am wondering if this is anyone else having these issues.

---------- Post added at 09:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 PM ----------

Yes it is . Quick Question to put the latest KK on I need to place OS on SD card and insert SD card into GPS slot and then get the system to re boot? Or do I reboot and then place the card in the slot? Seems that placeing the card in the slot makes the system create some files "Data" and "Android "I think and I don't want these files to interfer with the up grade.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
Put the update.img at the root level of the sdcard. Other files/folders on the card won't interfere with the process. And if you insert the card while the system is running, it should detect the update and prompt you to restart to bootloader for installation.

It could be cool to have a recovery switcher app with recoveries stored in oem part :D . Space is not an issue as I reduced it from 128MB to 64MB and I can reset it to 128 if needed (but I think twrp and std recovery fit in the 64MB). There is still some room in system to put torque and airpin if those are needed by users and we'll strip OEM apk out.

I did not have a look at Malaysk's ROM but I think it's done by modding framework and systemui like it's done on some sony or samsung roms for phones... There may be an xposed module for that if I remind well...

I don't use Spotify on my HU but I also have problems on my 4.4.4 phone and tablet, the few last versions of Spotify seems to have those problems. There is a Spotify update on Play Store, maybe it will fix our problems.

I was planning to make a KGLized version because I didn't like the first 4.4 versions of the KLD laucher/radio/BT but I quiet like the latest versions of those apps so no KGLized version for the moment. But if a true KGL version comes out I'll be happy to mod and try it :cool:

Wi Fi is Sub par with KK 4.4.4_V1

Well I have updated the latest OS and the Wi Fi is still slow. I don't know if others have the same issue but I used to be able to multitask using wi fi, ie: down load from play store and use another WEB application. I now get Internet connection Timed out, however I am still getting slow down load of an app. I connect via my Galaxy note 4 using 4g . Note speed test is 10 MBPS but speed test on KGL comes up .5MBPS so something wrong. I am wondering if the WI FI is only using one thread of the processor or something! This is much much slower than JB was.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] c0py:
To fix slow WI-FI issues go to WI-FI settings then ADVANCED and turn OFF "Wi-Fi Optimization"
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
What version have you got KGL, KLD, RM etc ? I ask because with 4.2 some people said that Wi Fi was slow on KGLs and that MCU version 1.77 cured it, although I think that has changed in 4.4.4 but worth a try because several people have said that since 4.4.4/4.4.2 two way CAN Bus works on VW group vehicles, so you may also get stuff displayed from your headunit on your MFD and stuff from the car on your headunit.

RM-MD11

Hello There,

I sent back the GS Unit with no sound, and got me a RM-MD11 in 2 days shipping for under 300.. Not bad.. BUT... I need an MCU. The MCU is 1.83 and no frills like RDS or CAM.. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Ive loooked @ 4pda, and maybe I missed it, but no find, and I have also searched XDA, and all of web(That I cana read, dont have all day to translate everything).. Thanks!!! (Its a MD, Not a RM right?? I dont know, Im confused.. When I asked the seller, he said 4.4.4 would be impossible.. HA, I got it on within 20 min of it running.. Its just another RK3066, but I need the correct MCU! ) Thanks Again!:silly:
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] jleonar:
Running the recent 4.4.4 v1 posted a couple days ago. This issue also occurred on the original 4.4.4 posted.

On the initial 4.4.4, at somepoint the unit decided that everytime it was turned on, it would launch the bluetooth app. Only way to fix it was to uninstall the bluetooth app and it would start straight to the launcher.

Installed the v1 today. Immediately installed Nova Launcher. Now every time the unit boots up, it goes straight to the Nova Launcher zoomed out screen display. I have to press the home button to get back to home.

I have no idea why the unit is trying to kept some sort of state and launching specific apps or specific views when starting. I have gone through every setting I can find and I can't get it to stop. Really annoying.

Finally, I didn't really want to install Nova launcher, I had planned to use the Google Now launcher but when it is installed, it will not show up as an option when I press the home button. Nova installed and I switched no issue.

I can live with Nova launcher but I am going to pull my hair out if the unit keeps booting up and launching into the zoomed out view of Nova Launcher (previously the bluetooth app).
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
Links to where you got it from and pics of it and the about screen would help.

From what youve said so far I would think its a RoadMaster version and MD is the model number.

I have heard of an "MD" version once on4pda.ru (I just read it in a translator, doesnt take long for the page to load, only 5 secs), but as "RM" appears first my guess is that its a RoadMaster, there are not many peopl with those and I ve not heard of anyone getting one on here for months, or anything about RM MCU updates either, if we establish its an RM then best thing to do is to contact RoadMaster and ask them, but , as I said, we need some pics.

And AFAIK RDS is enabled by the radio chip not the MCU.

Edit: I ve googled the model number and its actually a unit I was considering, but I didnt get it cos it didnt have RDS. Its a RoadMaster unit.

For those who interested in a using a USB OBDII adapter, the ODBLink SX cable works great. However, if it's connected to the head unit at bootup, it'll auto-load Torque and not allow the system to fully boot up, allowing the touchscreen driver initialize. This means you either have to reboot without the OBDII adapter plugged in, or plug in a USB mouse to back out of Torque and allow the system to fully boot up to allow the touchscreen driver. The Torque forum has a recent thread asking to add an option to disable this "feature"...

Anyone know if coudu's v4.1 runs better than the initial v4?

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Gatriel:
Hey All -

So I am running a KGL1 MCU and 4.4.2 (rooted) and I am trying to do something that I *thought* should work out of the box -- but unfortunately it doesn't and I am hoping one of you guys can point in me in the correct direction.

I want to use Waze as my default Nav software. I want to listen to music while I drive, and simultaneously use my Navi. Seems reasonable -- correct? Apparently not. I have a video of the problem I have uploaded.

When I play music -- the unit works great. As soon as I open Waze -- the music stops. As soon as I make Waze run in the background the music starts again. I have gone through all the settings in Waze -- did no good.

I also downloaded a permission helper and tried to deny waze the ability to control system wide audio settings -- this didn't work either.

If someone could point me in the correct direction as to how I can fix this -- I would be grateful.
