It's done :) I also included a new feature in this new version. Now the app checks if each package is installed or not, and displays a yellow text on each corresponding item.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] MayfairDROID:
Is there anyway to make it so the images on the screen are smaller with out root? I want to try king root again, but the try root option is not shown because of the resolution...this is a one te deal....no need to keep it this way...
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
You could try the xposed module for DPI change, there are also apps for it . . . hold on all those solutions require root, so dont think there is a way.

You could try touching the area at the bottom of the screen, I was able to work buttons I couldnt actually see doing this when running 1024x600 res ROMs on my 800x480 unit.

Hello devilsoft. It would be great if you can add mx player. But i dont know the command lines.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] NYCAR:
Thanks to that statement I looked through the apps and did a search for "Torque". Not sure how to actually find the folder where this is (and others probably are) located, but that did allow me to install the Torque that came with the image.

All works now, as far as I know. Thank you all for helping work through my ignorance.

What I was trying to get to is I used the same SD card to flash the MCU with no errors so didn't understand why it would give errors for the rom
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] doctorman:
MCU is few KB only while the ROM is huge at 600MB so if the SD card has few good KB on it the MCU will go through on the bad Sd card but not the ROM

JY Launcher

This is the problem I'm having with the JY Launcher from the repo. I tried wiping DATA and CACHE as suggested with no effect.

KLD launcher works fine.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
MTCManager writes the last foreground app to system settings preferences file at shutdown. I'm guessing this happens even when the HU goes to sleep. I can probably override that behavior with XMTC.

Glad you got it sorted. For future reference, the included app apks are located in the OEM app, or the /mnt/oem directory.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] devilsoft:
That's great! Waiting for a new version of XMTC then.

Hey guys I been following this thread for quite some time since I got my kld model from pumpkin I have a question I use to run malaysk latest ROM for the daydream feature working but the ROM seems to not play nice with my radio and is really laggy. I prefer coudu ROM for the cleanliness of it. Do y'all know how to get the daydream feature working on his latest ROM thanks in advance.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
OEM as agentdr8 says, but youre probably better off installing the more up to date version of Torque from the Playstore

The launcher works on all versions.

Ah, that explains it ! :)

---------- Post added at 06:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 PM ----------

March I think, coudu has stopped doing them but DSA's ROMs (anything later than March) have the same basic mods.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] NYCAR:
Possibly true. But as I have been unable to get that to work on my head unit, despite many attempts, I will not toss them my money.

MCU JY 2.59 strange messages....

Hi, I've a JY RK3066 and I've tried to flash the last MCU (2.59 modded) and I dont kknow if the "mission" was accomplished....I put the MCU file into my GPS slot card as usual and reboot the unit to enter recovery. After entering th recovery i select flash (update) MCU from sdcard and when i push the option i get sonme messages like.....aborted, not valid MCU image found....but after a few seconds the unit reboots by itself and start flashing :p The questions is that i'm not sure if it's normal....Any input? Did someone get the same messages while flashing?

Thanks for your help !
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] koimr:
Check the "About" screen in your settings, it'll confirm the MCU version there. :)

I think I remember seeing some "invalid" messages as well when flashing but it definitely does do its thing.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] MayfairDROID:

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] jeroensteinvoorte:
Ok I tried again tonight.

First I installed a resent image. (somehow wasn't able to gain root acces anymore, so fresh image, nice and clean.)

20150522 KLD 4.4.4 800x480

Downloaded TomTom Go Mobile and downloaded a small map.

[IMG="Tomtom Benelux map downloaded"]http://www.steinvoorte.nl/xda/20150615_204206.jpg[/IMG]

Installed Root browser and checked where the maps are located.

They are located in the maps /sdcard/Android/data/com.tomtom.gplay.navapp

[IMG="Location of the maps"]http://www.steinvoorte.nl/xda/20150615_205218.jpg[/IMG]

I copied the com.tomtom.gplay.navapp to /external_sd

[IMG="Copied com.tomtom.gplay.navapp to external_sd"]http://www.steinvoorte.nl/xda/20150615_205142.jpg[/IMG]

[IMG="Double check for the Benelux folder"]http://www.steinvoorte.nl/xda/20150615_205154.jpg[/IMG]

Download terminal, opened terminal and gained root access by entering "su" and then typed "reboot" to reboot the unit.

So presumably the install-recovery.sh would bind the com.tomtom.gplay.navapp to a folder located on the internal_sd at startup.

[IMG="Check, install-recovery.sh has the TomTom code."]http://www.steinvoorte.nl/xda/20150615_205638.jpg[/IMG]

After the reboot I started the tomtom app and tried to download the large map Western Europe. But not enough space. The micro SD card in the GPS slot is 8GB by the way.

[IMG="Not enough space to download Western Europe"]http://www.steinvoorte.nl/xda/20150615_205516.jpg[/IMG]

I did come across the folder /sdcard/tomtom/com.tomtom.gplay.navapp

I think this is created by the install-recovery.sh, but it is in the wrong location.

[IMG="new tomtom folder, but in strange location"]http://www.steinvoorte.nl/xda/20150615_205806.jpg[/IMG]

So what is happening, and what can I try to solve this?

My car is going for service from Tuesday till Thursday, so hopefully next weekend i will be able to test again.

I find NO WAY:

I tried flashing and reflashing over and over and over changing 4 SD cards from 4gb to 8gb to 32gb: NOTHING!

I downloaded from PC and I tried to RE DOWNLOAD again also if it was ok.

I never downloaded from the unit, also because the wifi module of this units really sux ALL: too slow!

So I'm getting the damn stuck at start and I don't know what to do? Just TRASH? WTF!?

Thank you for your try to help!!
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] :
I have no audio anymore! Just heard a cracking , first the front speakers went out and then two seconds later the rear speakers. Nothing brought the sound back. Reboot, reflash, reset back to factory settings, turning ignition off, closing off car.

Anyone can give me a hint what to look out for?

May the amp ic or circuit be damaged? And if so what may have caused it? The car has some after market speakers in the front and stock in the rear. No other amp installed. May different impedance be an issue for the head unit. Device is just two days old. :(
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] akrasky:
I'm curious to know the percentage of users that has got problems with this chinese units in the short-mid period.

Mine seems gone after about 1 week of working and seems destined to trash.

I think this: if these units works, are just fantastic but if not, are belly pains due to poor support.

I also disassembled my unit: looking how it's made I've serious doubt about a life longer than 1 year (if 2 year you are son of God!).

I think the cooling is not sufficient and the components inside are too cheap!

But I would be happy to use this for an year and then trash but... it lived for a week! WTF!
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
An impedance mismatch could definitely cause the amp to overheat and become damaged. I don't recall what load the internal amps on these headunits are supposed to handle, but it's usually safe if you have 8ohm speakers.

While I'm waiting for my rk3188 to arrive via carrier pigeon I was wondering the following: Does kylde ships these to resellers with the can bus controllers? Or do the resellers source the can bus controllers themselves?

The reason I ask is because a person on one of the Mazda forums found out that the acc and constant 12v were reversed on the Mazda can bus box causing a good power drain that will kill a car battery over a weekend.

I found that when using a discount code it was cheaper from autopumpkin direct

Thats what i did for mine. At the time i used Pumpkin12 which was 12% off
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] MayfairDROID:
I had reached out to Pumpkin, and they sent me a discount code as well. For me, after reading that these resellers were asking buyers to send units back to china on their dime for warranty work, I decided to go with Amazon where I can simply email them and they will take it back. For me the peace of mind knowing i wouldnt be out $349 was worth the extra funds :)

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] xrapidx:
I bought from them - same address - I think they're bypassing the "official" trading partner. My sale didn't come up on alibaba.com

I've actually just opened a paypal dispute because of the radio not working, and their continued insistence I buy electronic equipment to test, even after testing with loaned equipment, and paying an electronics store to test, they now want videos to prove the testing. (I did get the unit though)
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kwalsh24:
Hmm wonder if they are selling referbs at that price? As my unit was $100+ more then again I did buy from express not baba, so I could of gotten taken for more
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] xrapidx:
Its exactly what I think the problem with my unit is - it wasn't as cheap as above, think it was $370 in total.

Hanker Yu said I must check the date on the board to prove its new, but the date is 04 April - so more 3 months old, more than enough time for a refurb.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kwalsh24:
Yeah my was 460 shipped to Canada via dhl express. There was likely a little mark up between manufacture and the place I bought itit from, but they were also the only ones giving me replies & also giving me true facts in their replies, as I tested many resellers on what they were offering just to find flaws in their postings, or their inability to tell me if the unit was a huifei unit.

Update on my unit,

Wifi is good, just as good as before the flash,

Bluetooth much better, for whatever reason before the flash torque would show 4 Bluetooth devices, now it only shows one (yes I bought a 5 dollar obdII reader for my radio, don't flame me, it works for what I want lol) Bluetooth also now shows what devices are paird, and what are not.

Only issue im having right now is root access, can't seem to get su to overtake the Chinese root app, will figure it out soon enough, may have to reflash & start over.

Boot time seems the same, but slight faster once the homescreen shows, normally I leave the radio with the radio app last used, seems to load the radio app up quicker on boot.

So far I'm a happy camper, nothing else was resolved, same old sub pop & cruddy canbus lol, but that's hardware not software. Once my harness comes that im waiting on, ill ground the radio directly rather than use the ground in the harness, maybe that will help things, maybe it wont, worth a try.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kwalsh24:
I used the kgl not the kgl1. I just deleted that archive, unarchived the kgl, copied that along with the update file to a micro SD, the copied that to the internal SD, booted into recovery, then flashed it within there as my system wouldn't update via GPS, or update by copying to the internal SD and rebooting as the OP says.

Try a factory wipe first, the try a reflash the way I flashed mine.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] zorantoma:
Factory reset didnt do anything.

When i unpack the kgl archive,i still select the update image in recovery or do i have to select anithing else?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kwalsh24:
All I had to do is select update in the recovery screen (believe it was the second item listed on the screen) and the update started on its own, then it powered off the unit, i hat to turn the system back on for it to boot up after the flash.

If i recall on my unit, the power button scrolled & holding it launched the option selected.

Just be sure that both the kgl and update file are copied over to the internal sdcard, I also left the files on the GPS micro SD and left that on just in case.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] zorantoma:

How long have you had your unit? I've had mine for not even a week yet and this has happened. I have also tried a few different cards and still nothing.

I installed the brand new Malaysk firmware to my dualcore 800x480 HU yesterday.

How can I set bigger the size of the icon and character on the top line and the menu?

How can I appear the clock on the top line?

How can I change the Malaysk (KLD) launcher to JY launcher?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
I think you'd have to adjust the system DPI to make the statusbar contents larger. There should be a way to do that in Settings I think. The clock settings are also in there too.

For the launcher, you'll need to grab the JY launcher from a JY rom, and place it in /system/priv-app, and also freeze or remove the existing launcher apk.
