Usually different MFG's support different vehicles. I found the best place to find out which unit is best for your specific vehicle is to start in your car's forum community and see what those people have bought and then come here once you've made the purchase.

I am having spotify issues on my head unit. I download spotify from the app store and log in to my account and download all my music. Spotify works great for one day then the next it never wants to start again. It crashes over and over. When I check the processes it only shows 1 service in use and it says Restarting.. all the time. Is it because another app was updated and is conflicting with the app? Could anyone help? Thanks
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Tha_Stig:
Can you post some details of what unit you have, MCU version, ROM version, do you have xposed or startup builder installed?

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] SilverViper2k:
Wow that's extremely horrible... There's no way to see running services or something? Probably not, because Google wasn't giving much answers...

Thanks for the help though :)

I've got a pretty long commute so if I manage to squeeze some taps on the screen tomorrow, I'll give the factory settings root method another go, AND I'll try to find which of the two services really blocks the other services from starting.

Any idea why it doesn't recognize viper4Android? Do we have a special version for our head units perhaps? Which perhaps recognizes our speakers as proper speakers and a phone's built-in one? :p
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] koimr:
I've used this app before to get service names:

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] RichyE:
I'm not sure about that when I look at the specs.

I don't see Android supported mentioned.

Huawei E1750 has support for it as my dealer is selling this one himself

Huawei E173 is also mentioned post 9240

Hi all

I have been looking at these head units for a while, im keen to get one, but the 30 second bootup time concerns me. Can someone tell me what happens when you turn the key to the ACC position then quickly turn it back, does the device keep booting or does it stop booting?

Also can anyone reccomend which manufacturer to buy from, was looking at Joying and Eonon. Is there an advantage to certain vendors/manufacturers.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] RichyE:
I have a Eonon but i think Joying would have been a better choice as the freqently release image and firmware updates.

Luckily we have this place.

- I have a problem with myvideos on the latest (August 19, 2015 for for 800X480) Firmware for RK3188 from Malaysk.

When I click it the unit goes into bootloop, anyone else having this problem?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] mitsucats:
I have a question, is it possible to fake you unit to think it is a HTC M9 or something like that because sygic says not compatible with my unit I have try market helper but that didn't work and it goes away after reboot.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Tutti-frutti:
I had the same problem. I think it started after I installed car service. But after uninstalling it and reinstalling spotify, the problem was still there. That was with stock KGL 4.4. Yesterday I flashed Malaysk, all works fine (finally skip track in spotify using SWC, which I couldn't get to work in stock rom). But overall, the rom feels MUCH better than stock. If all keeps working fine, the added value is worth some donation to [MENTION=3590033]Malaysk[/MENTION] :good: (just done that)

Not sure if the spotify close issue will come back at some time, but adding spotify to early boot should fix the problem I read.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] wwwollo:
Maybe it is because of th IMEI number of your unit.

You need the app IMEI changer form play store and give the unit the IMEI number of your phone.

In order to run the app your system has to be rooted and XPOSED Framework to be installed.

Activate in xposed framework the IMEI changer than change the IMEI in the app and reboot. Then you can install sygic.

At least that worked on my unit. This is also explained earlier in this thread by somebody.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] TieNN89:
Tried out the bluetooth in my Joyous unit tonight and the receiver was saying he could hear a lot of road noise and it got worse and worse the faster I went

It's apparently crystal clear when I'm stationary and up to 40km/h but above that there is a lot of road noise.

It doesn't help that my car has a lot of road noise to begin with but the GROM Audio Bluetooth Kit is what I had in my car previously the receiver could still hear me.

So I thought okay lets swap the mic around until I found this

The top plug is the one that came with my unit and the bottom one is from GROM Audio

I had a search back in this thread and found someone mentioning the mic is crap that came with there is crap so they replace it with a Parrot one

I just had a Google on a Parrot mic to find it doesn't have a matching plug

Has anyone got a different mic with their unit?

Does anyone know what the best mic to get is that works with this unit?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] henv:
Do you mean, power off the car and power on again? If so. There is a setting (30 sec, 5 min, 10 min) how long the radio is in a sort of stand-by. Let say you choose the setting 5 min, then if you power on again the car within 5 min the radio is straight back on and not booting the 30 sec.

Which Malaysk rom would I use if I have a JY head unit? 800x480
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] SilverViper2k:
This actually worked well! Had to add an additional slash to the name, but other than that I have all my apps I need at boot available now!

[MENTION=3744488]devilsoft[/MENTION] I found an error in your PVC.xml file, which is why Spotify is not correctly recognized. The app name is wrong (you have a different player there instead of com.spotify.music. Also, I figured out why Viper4Android doesn't work. It appears that the Play store version has a different name; with _fx appended to its name. I'm still in the progress of figuring out which service is failing and I'll try to revert back to the "stock" root on my way home today.

It stops booting unless it's fully booted, at that point (depending on your settings) you can have the unit "powered off" from 5 seconds to 2 hours (fixed increments unfortunately). And "powered off" means that the unit is not shutdown or in standby but in between. It turns on instantly, but all the apps needs to be restarted except for the last running one.

To work around that issue, I'm planning to implement an timer in the ACC wire that triggers as soon as the doors unlock with my remote key fob. It will remain on for one minute to fully boot the head unit while I get in. If I don't start the car, the ACC line will be cut again and the system will remain in "Powered off" state until that timer runs out or I start the car.

The 40 seconds boot time will mostly be completed before I'm fully seated and ready to drive of.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] chewielewis:
Yep thats pretty much what im thinking of doing myself, using a relay switching the 12v constant line to the ACC input on the head unit, will need a timer though. There are a few on amazon.

Im very surprised that no one here has talked about it, seems like an obvious solution.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] SilverViper2k:
Yeah only problem is that you need to hack into the wiring of your car. Not something everybody would feel happy about doing.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] devilsoft:
For viper4Android, use this one: http://vipersaudio.com/blog/?page_id=31. (the one you use, is not official. May be fake, so be carefull using that one)

Radio and power questions

First off I must say these forums are a god sent. :) What a wonderful information melting pot.

That being said i have read so much that i am starting to get confused. :o

After researching for many days i ended up purchasing a Klyde head unit for my 2016 Hyundai Elantra GT from Kanor Elect Co in China. Picked up including shipping for $400. The HU hardware is RK3188, 16GB NAND, 1024x600 running MTCB-KLD2-V2.55 05192015 Android 4.4.4_13072015. A couple days later I installed Malaysk July JY ROM and loving it. :)

First of my questions, In the Settings -> Advanced Settings - power delay options no matter what delay time i select the system powers off immediately when I turn off the car. Am I doing something incorrectly?

Secondly, when the HU powers off is completely powers off. Is there a way to have it sleep or hibernate to speed up reboot times.

Third, Since day 1 my radio has the static issue that I troubleshoot to find my OEM powered antenna puts the radio module into a safe mode so all I here is static after 2-3 minutes. Does anyone know if there is a config change that i can make to the radio to stop this very annoying issue?

Forth, since day one the radio saved channels reset

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] SilverViper2k:

How is the performance for you with the Huawei on t-mobile's 3g network? I imagine the 3g coverage being as good or better than the 4g LTE coverage.

Also, which plan did you go with? The $10/mo Phone Match up to 5GB seems like the best deal. Its details are a little funky, though:

I have 2 smartphones on tmobile both with unlimited data. So I guess $10/mo will get me 5GB of data on the 3G card with the speed throttled afterwards. That should be plenty.

I would really like to find a card that works on the car head unit with 3G but that I can also plug into my laptop and use on 4G. Not sure if this will be possible.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Reptile-X:
I was using Huawei E1750 too till a week ago, last couple months I had a lot problems, the mobile connection didn’t build up when the HU booted and had to reboot couple times to get it working, especially after installing the USB Hub, but the problem was there before. 3 weeks ago I even renewed the plan of my cars Vodafone card but last week I was done with it, the dongle is not the problem but the HU itself, probably a newer FW can fix this but I went for another solution.

I think it might be interesting for you too since you have large plan, I purchased Tasker from play store.

I added a task, which enables Mobile Hotspot on my Note 4 when it connects my HU through Bluetooth and my HU connects to Wifi on my phone, and the task also disables tethering after I turn off the HU. Using it for a week like this and I love it, no more crap problems with HU not connecting internet through dongle and it connects every time without doing anything on my Note 4, it is totally automated…

Now I have another plan which I don’t need for a year… But still happy with this solution, I wish I could came up with this couple weeks ago :rolleyes:
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] AboveTheLogic:
That is exactly what I need. My phone has unlimited data and I think around 7GB of tethering before it starts to throttle. I paid the $3 for Tasker and installed it and spent a few minutes and couldn't figure out how to get it to turn on my wifi hotspot when connected to bluetooth. I installed the HU a week ago and have been frustrated with turning on the hotspot manually and making sure the HU connects to it before loading up Pandora and Waze. I've had some funky technical issues with getting it connected initially but once it is connected it works fine. It might be an interoperability issue between the HU and my Galaxy S6.

Could you share your settings within Tasker that you used to get the mobile hotspot to turn on when the phone recognizes the HU's bluetooth connection? That would save me a bunch of time trying to figure it out.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
Create a new Profile -> State -> Net -> BT Connected

For Name, click magnifying glass to show list of paired BT devices. Select the headunit. You can do the same for Address if you like.

Create New Task (something like TetherOn), Add Action -> Net -> Wifi Tether -> Set On.

Create New Task (something like TetherOff), Add Action -> Net -> Wifi Tether -> Set Off.

Assign the TetherOff task as the Exit Task for your Profile
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] mike.s:
I set Tasker to turn on tether only when Bluetooth connects AND it's plugged in. Tether drains battery, so it keeps it from starting unless it can charge. So, Profile "Power AC, BT Connected (to car)" runs task "Enter Car," which among other things, does "WiFi Tether On."

In reverse, I only turn it off when BOTH unplugged and Bluetooth connection gone. So, if I stop for gas, tether doesn't needlessly toggle. Profile "Not BT connected (to car) + Not Power AC" -> task "Exit Car," which does a "WiFi Tether Off."
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] AboveTheLogic:
Got it! Thanks. I'll see how it works later today :good:

:edit: mike.s, I like your idea. I have a mophie so battery life isn't a big deal for me, and I still always plug it in whenever I can, but I'll play around with the AC settings as well. My concern is whether or not the phone will fire up the hotspot quick enough for the HU to connect successfully, I've had some funky issues with that. We'll see...

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] obioan:
Unfortunately this doesn't solved my problem...
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
Then it's likely related to either of these settings:

SystemService.start("console");
android.provider.Settings.Secure.putInt(getContentResolver(), "adb_enabled", 1);

The first should be able to be reversed by running "setprop ctl.stop=console" in a root adb shell.

The second would require an sqlite editor IIRC. You'd have to find the adb_enabled item in the Secure Settings database and set it to 0.

There is no predefined password to undo the changes made by the *#hct#root# password.

agentdr8 is fast as always :good::o I did it exactly how he explained it, but I added another task with exit, after turning off the tether it turns on Wifi on my note 4, I have always Wifi on so wanted to be sure Wifi was going on when I exit my car.

If you still have problems with setting it up let me know, I can try to explain with screen shots.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] zorantoma:

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] SilverViper2k:
Whatever you do, don't use SuperSU's unroot option. It completely removes root and *#hct#root# will no longer root your device any longer. I just discovered this the hard way, just an hour ago :(

[MENTION=3744488]devilsoft[/MENTION] So as you can read I don't have root any longer :p That means I can no longer test your app. Before I messed things up, I could confirm that, as soon as I enable petrows, nothing gets started anymore. I couldn't find anything in catlog. I did notice that enabling petrow an extra piece of script is added. Perhaps it's related to that?

I would love to test it further for you, but I'm waiting to install Malaysk's rom until I have fixed some other items.

Hello

Adding spotify to #Kill inconvenient apps/processes didnt work.

But I flashed rom again (3xtime) installed latest PVC startup bulder successfully added 3 apps to recovery file. After boot everything forks, all 3 app starts, spotify works.

Ging from sleep and all aps are gone (killed when the unite went sleep?). manually executing install-recovery.sh starts all 3 apps, spotify wont crash.

Why scrip isn't starting after sleep? I have root - checked with root checker. Never used password to get root. Don`t use any su app - supersu, superuser etc.

So why install recovery.sh isint executed after sleep?

Hi all, lately I've noticed my radio to have frequent static as compared to my old HU. So I went and reviewed the links to address from the first post and as is with the pictures shared, I saw the copper wire soldered into ground in my unit. I didn't see a break in it, but decided to place electric tape on it as well as add another ground line that connects to the ground line of my car's stock electronic wirings. I noticed that the sound did improve, and stations are now picked up better, but I still hear static every once in a while and now, whereas leaving the radio to mono somehow eliminated it, it appears to be more obvious now regardless if I tick stereo on or off. The sound still weakens when I start to run the vehicle, and become loud again when I go stationary (note that I've turned off attenuation in the settings). I just want to know: is this now just a case of ugly radio hardware? Any chance I can replace it with a better one without replacing the entire unit? Thanks.
