[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Malaysk:
I did the firmware for JY!!!! ???

Just be patient, soon everything will be fine))) I spent two weeks will update all its firmware to all devices. Maybe sooner.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] JPS11:
Yes, that is it. Gives a lot of info. Check the DPI. Seems like yours might be low.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Alphas:
You guys ought to be patient and have courtesy, it goes a long way and let get back to the topic.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Marius B:
I thing we need to make a post for all problem for all model and Malaysk when have time make all changes for all models and make put for download.

Now we post a lot problem and Malaysk can read all time all messages and make changes.

I thing is right for Malaysk to release firmware only one time for month.

He need time and for him .

ThanK for all support.

Sorry for my english.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] solmer:
Hi Malysk ! I flashed the 1024x600 into my JY unit and works fine ! (only a few bugs like lost of wallpaper.....) I thought your firmware was developed for JY units :D:D:D

Anyway thanks for your GREAT work, I'll stand by waiting for the JY firmware ;)
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Malaysk:
A lot of the problems are not related to rom that I do. They belong to the Chinese programmers. I'm tired of repeating it. On the Russian forum a lot of people use my flash, but they know that a lot of the problems is dependent on the Chinese programmers and not from me, I'm trying to fix them.

Help

Could anyone help me I have a ga5180 its a rk3066 I updated it to 4.4.4 I had good radio reception now I have zero I set my settings to America and it worked befor now nothing.i have a newer Silverado and the unit is about a week old just don't know if I'm missing a setting.any help appreciated.i can't find the original 4.2 to put it back to original
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
You never know. I didn't think they would ever implement a sleep setting in the MCU, but here we are. Depending on how they implemented it from the Android-side, it's possible a different value can be sent to the MCU, something that isn't present in the list of options. I'd have to look at the Settings.apk to know for sure.

EDIT: Doesn't look like it. Based on what I can see in the decompiled Settings.apk, the values are pulled from a string array, and don't correspond to actual time measurements.

The chosen value (between 0-5) gets sent to the AudioManager instance as a parameter: am.setParameters("cfg_powerdelay=" + accoff_value)

This tells me that the MCU has those values (0-5) hardcoded as specific timer intervals. I could be wrong though (wouldn't be the first time!).

<string-array name="accoff_delayshutdown_entries">
<item>30 seconds</item>
<item>5 minutes</item>
<item>10 minutes</item>
<item>30 minutes</item>
<item>1 hour</item>
<item>2 hours</item>
</string-array>
<string-array name="accoff_delayshutdown_vaulues">
<item>0</item>
<item>1</item>
<item>2</item>
<item>3</item>
<item>4</item>
<item>5</item>
</string-array>

Maybe your tuner type has reverted? Try going into factory settings and change the tuner to different chip types until one of them works.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Brak710:
Why don't we create a wiki page with all this information, warnings, and ROM links? At this point you have to read 265 pages of 50 posts each to catch up with the current state of this unit.

Let's be honest, forum threads are a miserable way to post informational stuff. Short of announcing a new release, things should be on a wiki page. Would keep known-issues and release notes much more visible, too.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
There already is a Wiki page, linked to on the first page. There are links to (mainly rooted) ROMs on the first page, links to Malaysk's are in his signature.

Pakidermo5000, the op, who probably never envisaged the thread would ever get this big, doesnt check the thread much nowadays so doesn’t update the first page often, but he did add some stuff a few weeks back when I asked him to. The wiki hasnt been updated for a long time now, it would be a lot of work to update it.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] 81greg:
I think I tried that and hit apply do u think I need to reset device each time I switch it.thanks for the tip I appreciate it.im so frustrated got 4 days into this thing.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
This is because they aren't saving the preference to the System preference file like they are other values. Not sure why. But it's being pulled from the existing value of am.getParameters("cfg_powerdelay=") when that preference window is opened (onCreate). And when it's set, they're only setting the am parameter, and not commiting the value to persistent storage.

I know that some changes in Factory Settings require a reboot to take effect, so it probably wouldn't hurt to try.

I recentry installed Rom Malasyk May 14, 2015 for 1024X600 Only for RK3066 with MCU KLD 2.55

The problem is that i dont have in setting the shutdown delay options, could you say me why please??

Thank a lot!!
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] DJCannonball:
I'm a bit confused, is this a legit Kld rom or a fake one?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] vaughany2:
Can't seem to get Viper4Android to work. Anyone have this working for the radio on a Malaysk Rom?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
Does it matter ? DSA only uses the term "fake" when he uses files from another 1024x600 ROMs to make say a 1024x600 image out of an 800x480 update, for instance. In all likelihood the developers use the exact same files to make their 1024x600 version, DSA just wanted it to be known which versions were which. So I hope his use of the word "fake" is not putting you off trying them ?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] JPS11:
Scroll down in the application to "Screen Density"

What does it say there?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
loads of people, whats the problem with it ? Have you looked at the instructions on the Viper site ?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] DJCannonball:
I understand that. It would matter to me, because that might solve my screen issue. I saw dsa talking about Jacky uploading a legit Kld rk3188. 1024 x 600 image. That would be the very first one. I have not tried them all, but If I know the rom is "fake" before flashing it, I don't have much faith it will solve my screen issue.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
Right, I get you and you said earlier you tried pretty much all the 1024x600 ROMs, so that would include the "fakes" and none worked. I spoke to Klyde today and they said they would upload me the fimware, as soon as I get it, I ll let you know.

(Just to be sure you DID try the ROMs marked with an asterix ? Cos, theyre the "official" ones)
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] koimr:
Couple questions:

Are you asking for help installing V4A?

Do you have it installed and you're asking if it works for the stock radio on a Malaysk ROM?

For #1, see this post.

For #2, I don't believe it'll have any affect for the stock radio on ANY of the available ROMs. From what I understand, it'll affect the stock music (not radio) player if you turn off visualizations within the music app - I am going from memory as I don't use that.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] DJCannonball:
i'm not sure to be honnest, i will check that. i put all the firmwares on a usb-stick, each in it's own folder. i copy the update.img files one by one to the root of the gps-sd card in the gps card-slot and flashed it. i should keep track of a list and mark them as failed if it doesn't solve the screenissue.

eastberkshirecustoms has the exact same issue, that doesn't give me much faith as you and dsa already told that Klyde hasn't released a KLD firmware to support both RK3188 and 1024 x 600 yet. but i'll keep on trying.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
Yes thats right, you have to turn off the visualisation and you can hear the sound change . . . provided youve changed some stuff in Viper, if youve left it the same then you wont hear much difference.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] DJCannonball:
i've checked my usb-stick, these firmwares are on it:

Malaysk-DPI-1024X600_2_RK3188_18_05_2015

updateJY1024x600KK4.4.4.rk3188.150513

updateKGL1024x600KK4.4.4.rk3188.150424

updateKGL1024x600KK4.4.4.rk3188.150507

updateKLD1024x600KK4.4.4.rk3188.150424

none of them solved the screenissue on KLD units.

there's one left to try: KLD_rk3188_h(150522)

i will try that tomorrow
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] echudoba:
I am trying the exact same setup as you now. It reverts back to 30 sec and never sets the timer in the mcu (always 30 sec). Also when I set my sound to (on) for the rear camera, it works ok until I turn off hu and on after 30 sec. So the mcu is not keeping the change. This might be a clue we need a official rom for the rk3188's. Or help you figure it out.

If you remember I was fighting the 1 in 15 boot animation hang ups. My seller (pumpkin_cool on ebay) asked me to reset the soc. Since I had reset it, I asked for a new board. I got the board today but still have the hangs. I did pay for it and the seller will refund me when I return the old one. By the way the new board came with a March 1024 x 600 4.4.4 rom so I used your May 27 800 x 480 one.

I have asked my seller for the latest firmware so we can do an official version and If I can keep the board. My signiture shows what I was using which worked great with two hour delay.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] eastberkshirecustoms:
On my unit, the 'actual density' is listed as 320.31 with this app
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
If you feel like it, you could go back on the fileserver and specifically pick a couple of 1024x600 images with asterix by them as we know for certain that theyre official, then try them, just in case, as theyre more likely to work. One the official KLD versions could work properly, or if not a KGL official.

but thats not much help if we dont know what it supposed to be ! :) I m no expert, but the .31 doesnt seem right, maybe that is part of the problem or a result of it ? Also its listed as 600x1024 when Id expect it to say 1024x600, although its clearly showing the screen the right way up, so maybe that isnt relevant. You and [MENTION=442657]DJCannonball[/MENTION] could also try one of the screen density and screen res apps on Google Play (Nomone is one and theres Resolution changer as well if I recall correctly) and see if you can adjust things to get a better picture - at the moment it seems like the resolution is set slightly too large which is then having a knock on effect on the quality as well as the picture not fitting the screen. Also you could check your build.prop and see what that says.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Brendo:
Perhaps it is artifacting like a graphics card. Have you tried reseating and checking it's not getting too hot? Could it be that you actually have other hardware fault somewhere else?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] 81greg:
A little confused on what the chip types are that your talking about changing.i have tried America 1 and 2 and no dice.also anyone know how to screen mirror on 4.4 thanks
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
On one of the Factory Settings tabs you can pick the tuner chip, BT chip, etc. I don't recall what that tab is titled, but I know it's not the one with the boot animation :)

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] KeiserSozeyFr:
What do you mean by "Couldn't set the buttons" ? you could not type the values ? values are not saved ? or simply, SWC does not work after setting it ?

Don't forget you have to reboot the unit or kill / restart the service after modifying the parameters.

No need to install it, if V1.1 does not work, V1.0 will not.

I found a big problem.

It is impossible to listen a music and to record video by "Car Record" simultaneously because I regularly hear very loud clicks and pauses while playing music. It is very strange because "Car Record" and music player use the different drives: "Car Record" uses GPS-card but music player uses SD-card.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] cat2115:
How is everyone on bluetooth calling? Mine seem to not working. The person who call me can hear me loud and clear but for me i can't hear them. Vol is very low eventho i rise vol knob to max. In Factory setting I saw BT and a number 15. What does that mean? is BT mean bluetooth and 15 mean vol?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] R4D3N:

You have to uncheck then check again the GPS Monitoring function. After that, it will work. :good:

Here is a couple links to show the issue I have with the Igo GPS muxing with the Radio, this issue only happens when the radio program is running, it doesnt occure when in the music program playing files of the micro SD. Ive tried everything to fix the issue, so I think a software fix might need to be made to fix the matter, Anyone else have this issue at all?

The first link shows how quiet the GPS voice is on max volume in Igo

http://www.xup.in/dl,13165184/20140701_191806.mp4/

This second shows you how the mixing doesnt amplify the Igo at all to make it legible to even hear the Igo GPS voice guidance.

Been using it for about 2 days now.

NOTE: This is for for this head unit: http://www.roadmaster1.com/product1.asp?nid=670

As far as I can tell this no different than the other HuiFei or similar head units. But use on your own responsibility. I won't be held responsible if this firmware breaks anything. If you still go ahead an try it, please post back here and let us know how it went.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] xrapidx:
I've asked them for details on the protection offered. I wanted to see what protection is offered through alibaba, so was going to go

Alibaba -> Paypal -> Credit Card

But it looks like the seller somehow bypassed Alibaba.

I strongly believe my unit was a refurbished/repaired unit that was not tested properly. This is the quality I have when I opened the unit to take pictures for the seller. (Seller claims otherwise)

If I go the refund route via my credit card, I'll probably not by another Android unit - and rather go for local support, which unfortunately, is only WinCE.

I have put a proposal to the seller, that they provide a new unit at half price including the shipping, they then carry half the cost, and I carry half - if its not acceptable, I'm going ahead with the claim, and will source WinCE units for my business.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] lucky-jon:
does 'video out' work?

I posted a while ago on this thread and recall one previous similar question but can't find any further comments.

Has anyone managed to connect an external composite video monitor to the RCA video out connector? I can't get a decent image. Neither can I get a satisfactory response from the reseller or the factory.

I suspect that the video output may not be standard PAL or NTSC. I am getting either no color or distorted color. On one external monitor I get a stable black and white image.

Anyone care to test this and let me know the result on their HU?

Thanks.

That earth strap is hard to solder. Needs a lot of heat because there is so much metal. I agree that's not an elegant join, but need not be indicative of overall bad quality. I agree about importance of good support, but sadly, often the case that in the end, all roads lead to Rome.... or rather China, and the only way to get better support is to accept a lower spec, older unit that a third party has decided to offer support for.

IMO, this thread offers better support than you are likely to get for any generic non main brand unit.

I was using 2.55 mcu and rom from post 13137. Just wanted to point out possible related issue of rear camera sound (on/off) also stopped being remembered by the mcu. Not just the sleep times. In case it meant something. I will go back to your hybrid for now. Also trying to get a later firmware for you.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] eastberkshirecustoms:
I did try a couple screen alignment apps, to no avail. I will look into the resolution apps. I am using Malaysk's latest RK3188 rom. The type is incredibly small!!! I believe that display info app said my font size was at '1.3'. I tried adjusting it in settings to 'huge'- no effect. Also the display is very dim during daylight, to the point that I have to place my hand over the top as a hood. I had none of these issues prior to the SOM upgrade. I know the board is seated properly, the retaining clips and screw holes will not line-up if it is not. I'm not ready to give up yet, but close. It would be easier for me (with my schedule) to just buy the quad core version of my HU and sell this card.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
Unlikely, unless the other 2 people reporting the same picture problems also have the same other fault.

Yes, "hybrid" sounds much better than "fake" !

You want it uploaded it to the fileserver ? If so what name ?

I have so far tried the hybrid KGL firmware from May that you made earlier and I didnt notice what youre saying about the bars, I havent tried Malaysk's or the latest KLD yet.

Youve taken the settings.apk from the latest KLD to get the shutdown timer in the hybrid ?

---------- Post added at 02:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 AM ----------

Ah, either youve misunderstood and didnt realise that the problem only affects RK3188 1024x600 res units, or I misunderstood you and you realised that, but was just offering your stats as reference to help with the RK3188/1024x600 problem.

We re all bloody trying but theres no bloody response !! I emailed them again 10 mins ago.

Are you saying that the brightness control does not work ? On Malaysk's ROM you can adjust the DPI, have you tried that ? Its like there a disconnect between Android and the display.

Yeah, dont give up yet, its only been like a day and bugs are common with computers. If you needed it working you could just pop the RK3066 SoM back in until the problem is sorted.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] eastberkshirecustoms:
The brightness does work. It's an odd condition, hard to explain. I'll have to take some screen shots. Almost like the contrast or crispness is not there. I'm not one to just pop the board out and let other's have all the fun ;) I would like to participate in getting this sorted :)
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:

Thanks for taking a look, I didn't really expect anyone to be able to do this. Hopefully the MCU programmers will throw us another bone. For me a 15 hour sleep timer would not bother my battery in the least, and that would give me insta boot in the morning and when I leave work. At this point that is about all that I could ask for. Mal's software is working almost perfectly for me.

Also if anyone is using Google play music and having a hard time getting it to store on the Sd card I found this little gem yesterday called Music2sd. It's the only thing that I could find, and it works perfectly.
