[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
Since these headunits were never designed to be used with different media players, they never considered how to handle overlapping audio from different sources. The radio is controlled by the MCU, and outputs sound via the "fm" source. All Android audio is handled by the "sys" source. There is only logic within MTCManager to prevent overlapping audio between MTC apps (Radio, BT, DVD, MTC Music, MTC Video, iPod, Aux, ATV, DTV). I tried to handle this with XposedMTC, as part of the source/mode switching, although it's not perfect, and is still under rewrite. If you aren't using steering wheel controls to switch between audio sources, you can use the wrapper activities also included with XposedMTC called MyMusic, MyVideos, and MyRadio, which does a decent job of shutting off one audio source before starting the next.

As for PowerampToast, the page is linked in my sig, as well as on the OP. I haven't heard of any issues with it crashing at startup though. If you can, grab a logcat when it crashes and post it here and I'll take a look at it.

[MENTION=3590033]Malaysk[/MENTION] The module is complete and has been tested against the most recent SystemUImtc.apk you posted earlier. It can be found on the Xposed Repo, or attached to this post.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
While I was poking around in the Settings.apk, I found some additional "passwords" for the Factory Settings prompt:

m123456 - opens Factory Settings in "super" mode -- makes another option visible; Launcher type (not sure what they mean though)

adbon - seems to enable adb on the usb port. Might enable it for all usb ports (haven't tested it yet)

*#hct#root# - enables persistent root adb on usb port(s) (might be an easy way to root roms, will have to do some testing)

adboff - disables adb on usb port(s)

keject - simulates the eject button for the DVD drive

kpower - simulates the power button

hcttouch - displays information about the touchscreen/calibration?

hctbtup - some sort of bluetooth update mechanism?

hctbtte0-9,0-9,0-9 - some sort of bluetooth testing code -- after the hctbtte there should be 3 digits, ranging from 0-9. Haven't looked into their meaning

Thought I'd share with the group. Don't go messing stuff up! And if you do, I won't accept any of the blame :silly:

There is any way to backup the current firmware without rooting it? Can I backup the MCU too?

I want to start trying to flash my device (RK3188, 1024), but I would like to save it first, without touching it too much. It just came last week with the following configuration:

MCU version: MTCB-KGL4-V2.47

Android version: 4.4.4_01062015

I have seen that the MCU (KGL V2.47 ) is already there in the server. But the Android version is not there. There is anyone that can post this Android version untouched to the server?

Can anyone help me?

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] :
Not the chip is not visibly damaged. Its located on the backplate for cooling between the black and white connectors on the backplane and is easy to locate as its the only IC thats standing and screwed to the back side.

You could test the Cinch-cables. Either with an external amp and a speaker connected to it or route the Cinch to a 3,5mm audio jack and the into a PC / laptop line-in / mic-in. If with the PC audio recorder software you hear sound its 100% this IC thats damaged.

Could you please explain us, exactly what is happening? What is doing wrong right now? What do you wanna get?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kruuth:
Right now, I'll start the car, the unit will start. Once the unit starts, poweramp will start and immediately begin playing, regardless of whether or not it was playing before. A second or so later I'll get this warning "unfortunately poweramp has crashed" or something like that. The same warning will pop up 2-3 more times, then everything will seem to work.

Poweramp will play regardless of the source going. It will play over the radio, ipod, etc. If poweramp would just not play on start things would be fine.

Ultimately I'd like poweramp to not immediately start playing until I tell it, and I'd like toast to not crash.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] markcm:

MalaySK Latest ROM Error

Hi,

First I wanted to thank MalaySK for these excellent roms, they really rock and I appreciate all the time and effort put into building them.

There is one issue with the latest MalaySK ROM (June 30, 2015 for 1024X600 - with Next Launcher), when you use the new Startup Builder included with the ROM, it un-roots the device. I disabled Poweramp and enabled Dailyvoyager to work in startup but when the new install-recovery.sh file is made it removes root. Does anyone have a solution to this?

FYI: radio problem

Just for your info:

I was messing around with my unit today moving the wifi antenna outside of the unit (drilled a whole and routed it trough it, this worked. Finally I could get stable connection to my network).

Anyway the radio "died" when I plugged it back in again. I was not able to tune into a station anymore (tried swapping around in factory settings, checked cables,checking fuses, rebooting, unplugging it from car etc... but no luck).

Angry on myself for destroying my unit. I tested my old radio (thus unplugging the Android unit completely for approx 20 minutes), the radio worked fine with the old unit.

Knowing that I didn't destroy my amp and antenna, I plugged my Android unit back in again and now the radio suddenly worked again.

So it looks like completely unplugging the unit and let it rest for some time, could be worth a try for those of you having issues with radio tuning after doing some work on the unit.

I know this does indeed sound strange, but could it be some power related stuff or did my old radio "jump start" my amp and antenna?

Anyway just wanted to give those of you having trouble with the radio stuff something to try.

Cheers

Updated my kld to the latest malaysk rom 800x480 3066 std launcher from previous and at same time at 2.55 musik from 2.55 .

iGO resolution

Hi, I've spent 2 weeks trying to figure out this thing with iGO resolution.

iGO internally uses three groups of resolutions, 480x272, 800x480 and 1024x768,

if I use regular data.zip, aka multiresolution data.zip, it would choose the 1024x768 graphics because that's how's it internally setup,

which is ok, but the whole interface was too big for me, especially after using the huifei igo, where it was smaller, and generally using that larger resolution, and larger icons and interface, you would lose screen real estate.

But then I modified multimode.ini file, where I force use of 800x480, and I've properly setup sys.txt to use auto resolution (which then looks in multimode.ini for resolution setup), and then I've modified some of the .bmp files to properly match 1024x600 resolution of our screen, and I've got properly working high resolution iGO interface.

Be aware that the loading screen has black bars on left and right, which is ok because that wasn't modified, everything other is matched.

here is the archive with data.zip and sys.txt, just copy them to the root of iGO folder: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80859583/iGO_1024x600.zip

first and last picture show the difference between map interface, and two in the middle show difference between menu interface

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
I had a chance to play with the additional Factory Settings passwords and this is what I found...

adbon only enables adb on the front usb port. Not good news for those with units that don't have a front usb port, but maybe on those it enables it for the back port(s)? I believe *#hct#root# launches a root adbd daemon on the front usb port, and is non-persistent. I have no way of testing this at the moment though, as I'm already running a pre-rooted rom, and would rather not have to go through the flashing process if it doesn't pan out once I unroot it. So for anyone out there running a stock rom (or maybe someone who's lost root recently, possibly due to the Startup builder issue), try entering *#hct#root# for the Factory Settings password, connect a mini usb cable to the front and see if you can get a root adb shell. I found the most recent adb.exe that's bundled with the Android SDK tools doesn't recognize the rk3066, so I had to use a different one I found on XDA. The standard Google Composite ADB usb driver seems to work fine, so no special rk driver was needed. I've attached the zip file that has a working adb.exe though.

Also, when I put in hcttouch, it shows a toast showing 1024 x 600 (0x55 0x00), even though my unit is an 800x480. Not sure what to think of that. If I find some time, I'll dig through the code to see what exactly it's reporting. keject and kpower do as expected. hctbtup shows a toast of BC6 updata!, which I think is just a BT refresh (not really sure, as I don't use the built-in BT). Didn't play with hctbtte, but I'm pretty sure it's just for sending AT testing commands to the BT adapter.

Using KLD (RK3066) with Malayks rom.

I've got Huawei E261 dongle that I turned to Modem Only mode.
