[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
I cant remember where to be honest, there were quite a lot of new MCU versions between November and January, think I got it from a post on here, but I dont think it matters now, see below :)

EDIT : I ve remembered, from here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BxmzvLRI7-eNeVA2SWkwM1pLZ28&usp=sharing#listv but I was wrong about the version, it is/was V2.20 not 2.30.

Its not on Klyde's Mega site, but I ve just got a KLD MCU from another source, its in Chinese and I ve literally just downloaded it, about to upload it to the HuiFei filesserver (NOT the one above the other one), not even tried it myself yet, so someone let me know if its new ?

EDIT: I downloaded it from folder dated beginning of February, but in "properties" in my computer it says its dated 26/12/14, so it may be an old one :(

I dont like Next launcher either but I dont understand how that stops you installing it - just install another launcher, its not hard - whats the point in having Android if you you arent going to install appps and set it up the way you like it ? !! Its not that hard to change the colour scheme either, or install Themer.

Which Firmware is the best

Hi Guys,

i have an MTCB-KLD-V2.12

I updated with this Software from the seller

mega.co.nz/#!jxFm0L4K!7tI9U33KB0xU5xaXsr6jNQjLM9_TSPZYW2opNdxMT-k[/url]

and this is the Device i bought

ebay.de/itm/301347176012

After updating to the 4.4 Version from the Seller the Wifi seems to work not really good...

Also Torque is not running on my system with an ELM 327 Adapter...

I read a lot in this thread but with all this numbers firmwares and kernels and whatever i am a bit overwhelmed...

So maybe someone could lead me to a good and fine Firmware that works for my Radio Unit :)

Thanks in Advance!!!!!!!!

If you got it from China then theyll be on holiday til March.

It works great as long as you have a hard home button. A short press on the power button turns off the screen, a long press brings up the power menu, if you dont have a hard home button and you short press the screen stays off.

Hi,

So today I reinstalled the whole system and try your modified ppp script again - now it works with Internet connection!!!

On Thursday I will take a new long drive, I'm sure it will work!

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] deedeebulldog:
Well I think I figured out a part of my problem. I can receive calls and I can make calls as long as I dial in the number using the Bluetooth app. If I select a contact to call nothing will happen. I also don't like how the contacts are listed by the last name, but one problem at a time. The problem seems to be that the area code in my contacts have parenthesizes. When I try the few contacts without they work just fine.

I guess my first step is to edit my contacts on my HU and see what happens. I'm going to try a contact editor on the play store.

Hello, and thank you both for your help with this tomtom issue.

Today, I went to post 5336 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56991862&postcount=5336

Top of the page, 4th word in is a link to install-recovery.sh.

I followed that link to zippy share http://www27.zippyshare.com/v/9LgjQUN7/file.html

I got the file there Uploaded: 12-02-2015 13:38, so it is about 5 days old.

I copied this file to my SD card, root directory.

I have a folder on my SD card root called com.tomtom.usa2gb that contains the maps.

I flashed a new rom KLD_4.4.4_800x480_150113_rooted_light_reparted_init.d_v4.2

After new flash was done, I reset up my wifi, and my google account.

went to the play store, installed root browser and tomtom

I am using the super user that comes pre installed on this rom.

I opened root browser, gave it SU permission.

navigated to the externalSD card, copied the install-recovery.sh file

navigated to the system/etc folder, and pasted the install-recovery.sh file there.

when prompted, I chose to over write the original install-recovery.sh file with the new one.

root browser reported it was successful.

I checked for permission 755 and ownership root root, all good. then I rebooted the HU.

Once the HU re-started, I opened up tomtom. it still asked me to re-re-re-re-download the stupid map!

********************************************************************

So i removed my GPS SD card, and went back to the computer.

I open the install-recovery.sh file with NOTEPAD++ on my win7 machine.

I replace the line that you suggested.

lsd "/mnt/internal_sd/tomtom" "/mnt/external_sd*/* /mnt/usb_storage*/*"

by

lsd "/mnt/internal_sd/Android/data/" "/mnt/external_sd/* "

Exited NOTEPAD++, saved the edited file, re-installed it back into the HU.

Back into root explorer, copied the new install-recovery.sh file.

pasted it on top the old file in system/etc like I did before.

checked for 755/root/root, it was good. rebooted HU again.

After it re-started, I opened up tomtom again, and again it is insisting I re-download the map.

Hopefully you can see a step I am missing?

The learning curve on this one is amazing...

Files help? KGL-7006A

Looking for a combination of MCU.img and Kernel.img files for this unit. According to the info I have it is a KGL-7006A (1024x600)

Currently, the GPS doesn't communicate with the clock to update the time and Bluetooth crashes whenever I try to enter a name or PIN.

Any help would be appreciated. So far the only MCU that has managed to work is MTCB-LZM3-V2.08

The best thing to do is what dsa8310 has suggested, check what folder is created by tomtom, then just copy this created folder to the external sd card.

I could only add that com.tomtom.usa2gb is not a " proper " name Tomtom can understand. Just change it to com.tomtom.usa

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] TooBusy:
If you install TomTom 1.4 on Android 4.4.4, it will be installed in mnt/internal_sd/Android/data/com.tomtom.YourCountry.

This folder will contain a folder called "files". The "files" folder will contain .metadata.xml file and another "files" folder. This second "files" folder will contain all other subfolders: art, content, itn, licences, logging, Profiles, raster, resources, etc.

The funny thing is that .metadata.xml file will contain: url location="file://mnt/sdcard/tomtom/com.tomtom.YourCountry".
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] TooBusy:
The same licence allows installation on 9 devices (I think), so I installed it on my phone also (Android 4.0.4). In this case, the location is really mnt/sdcard/tomtom/com.tomtom.YourCountry, but this folder contains only one "files" folder (with all other subfolders) and the same .metadata.xml file.

I know this is irrelevant, but considering that the .metadata.xml file is exactly the same, with the same url location, even though the actual location is quite different, seems like TT doesn't really care about .metadata.xml file when looking for maps.

Sure [MENTION=6041319]dsa8310[/MENTION] deserves thanks for amazing work, but I thought that the modified script only enables logging and allows entering provider's settings, which are either not needed or can be entered easier with Mobile Network Settings. I don't see how this has anything to do with reliability of Internet connection. Anyway, let's see what happens on your long drive.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] pakidermo5000:
I can also confirm that my tomtom does not care about the path on metada.xml.

Replying to dsa8310 i would expect as good programming practice tomtom to actually look for a systematic folder name like com.tomtom."country" and not for whatever folder name. That's why i would just use com.tomtom.usa

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] DRidilla:
Hmm so most of the startup services looked important, except for youtube. I disabled it and boot time dramatically decreased, by like a minute. Not sure if that was the actual cause in decrease or if my unit needed a reboot or two after install to weed things out. Interesting.

However I'm suprised in the behavior of the whole system at dpi of 180. I thought more icons would fill the screen and things would auto fit, but not the case at all. Took some pictures, guess it's just better to just stick to specific dpis for certain apps? really wanted system-wide 180dpi:

http://imgur.com/a/PXuCr

Also for those modifying the radio app, take a look at that last image. In the station text information that is shown statically, everything is correct. But whatever text information is shown in the scrolling marquee is always filled with typos and odd spaces. Not sure if that's an app error or error on the stations in Philadelphia, but I don't think they would all be sending incorrect data.

( Also how do I disable the volume changes with speed? Volume bounces around a little on its own too but I guess that could be my antenna jack being loose but never had that problem before. Sorry for posting stuff that was probably covered but with a thread so large it's hard to hunt down information. )

SWC wiring help

Hi, I´m trying to wire my Pajero SWC (no canbus) to my JY HU but need some advice.

First, from some reading I understand I need to connect key1, key2 and gnd but from my SWC wiring diagram I can only find 2 cables that go to the HU plug (d-209), in the photo cables 32 and 22 (or 3 and 1 before the clock spring). Am I ok or I´m missing something?

[IMG="Pajero 2009 SWC WD"]http://fotos.subefotos.com/f54955129eda57f24e6c684cf8373ee3o.jpg[/IMG]

I connected 32 and 22 to the key1 and key2 cables on the JY HU but obviously nothing happened, read somewhere from someone connecting a Eonon HU to a Pajero that he connected 32 to key1 and 22 to gnd and that way he had SWC working, strange but I will give it a try.

Last, what is the gnd I need to connect to, is it a gnd cable going to the HU (don´t recall having and extra gnd coming from the HU but will check tonight) or just to chassis gnd in the car?

thanks for your advice!
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
I would say based on the diagram you posted, that key1 should go to 22, and the SWC-specific ground (usually found with/near the key1/key2 wires) should go to 5 (which in theory would also be the same as vehicle ground).

Ok, checked last night, my JY HU does not have a gnd cable for SWC :eek:

[IMG="JY"]http://fotos.subefotos.com/7395f68aae93674462b6fab08478b90co.jpg[/IMG]

It seams its similar to the AN-21U layout without gnd cable so I´m reading there, there is a lot of info on different SWC configurations arround pages 65-70 of that thread. Apparently my Pajero has a 2 cable resistive loop so I need to connect only one cable to the HU and the other has to provide common ground with the HU to close the circuit (diagram on http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58940096&postcount=8938)

Tried last night just connecting the second cable to the chassis but nothing happened, maybe I´m not doing the configuration procces ok, can someone point the steps for the SWC configuration in the HU so I´m sure im doing it correctly before I try more possibilities?

SWC configuration I´m doing:

1- reset

2- press desired soft button on touchscreen, it turns orange and a red record light lights up on the screen.

3- press corresponding hard button on swc (nothing happens on the HU screen at this point)

4- press save (button on touchscreen turnes gray again)

5- repeat for other buttons.

What I did was set the DPI back to 240. This will fix the parking sensors display but will mess with the Radio app and Music app. Use xposed app called 'App Settings'. This can change DPI on a per-app basis. You can set the Radio and Music apps back to 180 DPI. Also you can reduce the font size so all of the RDS text fits on the screen.

Yep, looks like your HU doesn't have a separate ground for SWC, so it probably shares with the main GND. You should only need to use either key1 or key2, not both.

Test the SWC for resistance and see if it changes when you press buttons. If it does, then it should just work.

Correct solution to TOMTOM issue - Abandon TOMTOM

Hi all,

First off, thanks to all the members who took the time to help me recently with my TOMTOM issues. This community has always shared a ton of knowledge, and that makes it great!

As for the stupidity of the TOMTOM developers. (I know your here reading this stuff!) It clearly is pointless to have to download 2.6G worth of map data over and over every time you need to reinstall the program. Originally, when I first purchased it, the program was installed on the external SD card, but now seems to be installed on the internal SD card. Kind of rubs me the wrong way, very similar to the good old "bait and switch" type of scams!

Thanks to that brilliant decision from the TOMTOM developers, we are forced to think up new and interesting ways to make their TOMTOM software work. The install-recovery.sh file trick seems to work for a lot of people, but absolutely will not work for my JY head unit. I am glad many people who have purchased the TOMTOM app, have found a workable solution, to a problem that should never have happened in the first place.

EVEN if I was able to get the install-recovery.sh file trick to work, (which I didn't) it would only solve 1 of the problems with TOMTOM. The other issue is the need to have an internet connection to randomly double check the software license on their servers? This Navigation software needs to be stand alone, there needs to be a different way for them to validate the install one time, maybe with a serial# or something while online during the initial install, then leave it alone. What is the point of a paid for map software solution that has to have an internet connection? Google maps has that perfected, and it's free.

Bottom line is if you haven't bought TOMTOM, then DON'T! It is not worth the hassle, and extremely annoying when you get back in the car from a trip to the store, only to have your navigation software suddenly refuse to work because the play store license cannot be verified, because you don't have internet connection. Truly useless.

So for me, going forward, I have decided that my personal time is worth more than the cost of the TOMTOM investment that I purchased. I will get my money back, many times over, by constantly NOT RECOMMENDING TOMTOM to anyone else I know or anyone who may ask.

There are many other Navigation software programs, I recommend finding an alternate solution.

Swanie

END OF RANT!
