[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Blaze Falconburger:
Hi chaps - is this unit for an E46 a Huifei? I find it hard to distinguish between the different types and reading the wiki it is not clear:

http://www.erisin.com/es9746a-7-and...gps-obd-bmw-3-e46-m3-rover-75-mg-zt_p494.html

Has anyone used this seller/store?

Also how does the unit handle or player a large mp3 collection? In particular it lists a 32gb limit but I have had an android tablet read much larger over USB.

Does the player just allow to browse the directory structure natively rather than build a library (I don't want this feature)?

Thanks
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] R4D3N:
I think it is not a HuiFei unit because it has an A7 Processor and HuiFei units have A9.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] defetzer:
ES9746A 7" - 7" not A7

i have the ES9781A from there, its a huifei with A9 processor

Did make sense, but now i get this :

root@android:/sdcard # /dev/flash_image recovery /dev/twrp.img
Segmentation fault

This segmentation fault also comes when i only do /dev/flash_image .

will try to figure out whats wrong.

From the Picture are you using 1.86 firmware ? if so is your gps button working right? mine is set to back when i update to 1.86
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
I upgraded to 1.86 and my gps button launches whatever I set to the gps app under the settings->gps. My menu button still works as a home button if I hold it. The powerl/vol knob is the back button, and the tune knob launches settings.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] blankers:
Mine also...the 'gps' button is now the 'back' button.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kwalsh24:
Hmm weird, I can verifybthat my GPS button works right, my power button is my back button, as I don't have dials on my radio
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] alsolh:
I too don't have a front USB and my seller seems to be either not knowing what he sold or he just wants to ignore my questions (for every question i ask he asks me to send him a video!!!)

Did anyone know how to get to bootloader mode when you dont have a front USB? do i have to open the unit and connect wires manually for USB?

I need to know how to get to bootloader mode as a backup plan just in case any problem happens to my unit :(
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] parazit26:
I have finally got my unit today. Looks really good, update and root were really easy. had to do some wiring to get power but its working now.

Still trying to figure it out how to get SWC working. The unit barely detects the signals. I tried all of the can bus protocols but none of them worked.

My car is a Fiat and its not listed so i guess its the reason.

Did anyone get SWC to work with an Fiat or italian car?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] zorantoma:
See post 1575. If this is your unit on the picture please send me the direct link to download the software. Maybe i hade a difrent link for download.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kwalsh24:
Hmm no mine looks different. Slightly. My buttons are flush to the bezzel where yours are more bubbled out.

Spirit1 or Spirit2 supported ?

Has anyone an idea if Spirit1 or Spirit2 made by mikereidis ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1059296 ) is working in this unit? Be warned, possibility to brick your BT routines (for as far as I read that thread), so it's best that someone who is used to flash/reflash his unit will test this? Not that I don't like the radio app as is now, but if it works, we have a radio app with eq. etc, and we can support Mike by buying his app.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] pants001:
Dont worry ill be sure to share.

The new one i ordered might be the same issue ..........as per this statement i just found on another forum

"K4606 is not a ppp modem, it is a direct ethernet adapter."

I think this is why it came up ok on previous rom but was available as "Ethernet" and not 3G

we'll see.....trial and error :)

Ill stick with Malaysk's rom for now as there are heaps of new features......now would be too hard to downgrade and lose them.

Edit: Im currently using my sim in one of these until i sort out the dongle issue

http://shop.vodafone.com.au/broadband-details/wifi-3g-black

I have it sitting in my centre console......Its ok solution, i just need to push a button to wake it up as it goes to sleep when nothing is connected.

Hi friend

Just purchased a new HU and looking to upgrade the rom. Can someone point me to the right direction please. The reason i want to update my rom is because i want to be rooted amd also increase the partition so i can install more apps.

My HU spec are:

1.6 x4 cores rk3188

1gb ram

1024x600

Thanks in advance guys
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] xrapidx:
Is there no application which lets you see what's happening when you plug in a USB device on the headunit?

I've already installed a powered USB hub, which the 3g modem is plugged into - it doesn't load on my side. I'm not going to bother doing the above as the modem is working fine with other roms - I only did the powered USB hub as I was told it'd solve the problem - which it didn't. (without the USB cable to the headunit, I can see the USB hub is powering the modem, and it registers on the cellular network, plug it into the headunit does absolutely nothing....). I'd imagine if it was a power issue it would at least sometimes work... considering it works with other roms without issue?

Most ROMS work fine with the 3G modem - I only have problems with one or two - malaysk's being one, which is unfortunate, as it seems to be the most up-to-date.

---------- Post added at 08:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 AM ----------

I might also have to go the wifi 3g route - I've tried two different 3G modems - abnd neither pick up with this rom - I installed another rom and it worked at startup :(

Hi [MENTION=434511]agentdr8[/MENTION]

Where do we have to set the time zone? in Android settings or somewhere in XMTC configuration?

I'm having a problem and can't get auto dimming working. I set start time at 6:30PM, end time at 7:30AM, enable auto dimming option, set dimming period brigthness half way and no-dimming brigthnes to 100%, but nothing happens. :(

Also tried enabling and disabling sunrise/sunset service with no positive results.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] 1-2-Hak:
What i did (and I think it works - will test tomorrow) is remove the XposedMTC apps from the system apps using the options in settings, then re-install XposedMTC.

I found that it would not detect the sunrise or sunset times until I did this.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] eastberkshirecustoms:
Yes, same problem with KGL '4' and upgraded SOM, There has been no fix yet, sorry...Increasing the screen resolution to 260 DPI does help some.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] jperezch:
Thanks 1-2-Hak

I'm not using Malaysk rom but an original JY pre-rooted, so XMTC was not installed as system app from the begining.

In my rom there is not an 'Intelligent brightness' option like the one in Malaysk's, just 'light' and 'dark' options. I don't know if XMTC dimming control depends on this intelligent option.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] xrapidx:
It is not visible, but I disagree - how is it only a power issue on one or two roms (so far, all Malaysk's roms) ?

If I install, for example, coudu's rom - it immediately works, if I install stock roms, it immediately works, and never drops - the icon is always visible. I've been using the modem with other roms for almost a year without isssue with this unit, its only when I try some roms that it never loads.

It is also powered through a 5A USB hub. I currently have a 64GB flasg drive, and the 3G modem plugged into the hub, and everything is working - with just the modem plugged in with Malaysk's rom - no icon/not working

Does your USB dongle work perfectly with DAB+ station?

How can you install the USB dongle to HU?

Can you upload screenshot from working of the DAB+ receiving. How looks like?

---------- Post added at 03:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ----------

If the phone number hasn't "space" character, the HU shows the name of caller.

00 36 00 xxx xxx - This is wrong syntax.

003600xxxxxx - This is good syntax.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] jperezch:
Does your solution work with any rom? o does it need 'intelligent' brightness option present in Malaysk's?

---------- Post added at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 PM ----------

In my case phone numbers don't have any blank space, phonebook is synchronized and numbers are witten with the same format the operator uses in the caller id. But iven that way I don't see caller name from phonebook, just phone number.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] ktibor69:
Check once more the blank space of the phone number on the phone. The blank spaces are adding by the phone automatically.

Hello.

Did you read my previous msg? Probably no.

Guys, who can find which pins on CPU board comes to USB-OTG port?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
Android settings, Date & Time. The default is set to auto-set timezone, but seeing as these headunits have no cellular modem, I'm not quite sure how it would accomplish that. It's possible the auto setting works over GPS and wifi, but I just manually set mine.

It does not. It uses a well-defined algorithm to determine when sunset/sunrise is, and then adjusts the backlight brightness accordingly, using the same setBrightness method call that the OEM uses. Also, if you're not statically setting the sunset/sunrise times, then it takes at least a 5 mile or 10 minute change in location before the service will update the times. It will also not update the times if it's currently inside of the dimming period (between sunset and sunrise).
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] War-Rasta:
Hi,

I have a Klyde unit and the MCU is listed as MTCB-KLD2-V2.51. I want to upgrade it but I'm wondering if KLD2 and KLD MCU images are interchangeable. I see that KLD images are on version 2.64 but KLD2 is only on 2.55.

Thanks in advance.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] shadowfoxmi:
I verified with a multimeter that indeed I have constant 12v battery connection. I was hoping that was it but unfortunately that's not it.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
That's because you define pi to only 5 decimal places :laugh:

I see that you're inspecting the GPS serial stream directly. What does it calculate if you don't have a lock? Maybe that's the deviation?

Also, maybe Tomtom is using a different algorithm to determine when to switch skins? I notice that using Waze and XMTC (which uses the same algorithm as you're using), the backlight dimming happens and then the skin switches. Usually within 60 seconds of one another, so it's likely Waze at least is using the same algorithm.

Hello again everyone, i'm planning to get a new unit from Eonon and get the updated version of the GA5163 which is the GA5163F.

GA5163F is on 4.4.4 RK3188.

I'm not sure if it comes rooted already., but in case it's not, what do I do in order to root it? Can I use any of [MENTION=3590033]Malaysk[/MENTION] firmwares?

Thank you in advance!
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] pants001:
It wont come rooted from manufacturer. It will have a stock rom....If you want root, yes go to first page to see instructions and list of roms.

Malaysk's latest rom is a good choice, it has all of the mods and fixes which have been discussed in this thread. :svetius:

Edit: Nice looking unit. Its using the KLD launcher which is my preference also....If you install Malaysk's rom he is now using the JY launcher. Do a quick thread search for KLD launcher. Easy enough to swap if thats your preference.

Drop APK into folder and reboot.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] albus123:
Are there differences in sound quality between the manufacturers like KLD, Kgl, JY etc.? Do they share the same amp and sound chips?

I wasn't satisfied with the sound of a RK3188 Joying unit.

Are there other HuiFei units with 1024*x px and RK3188 and maybe even 2GB ram?

Where can I get them?

[MENTION=6481864]pants001[/MENTION], will try to look for that rooted rom. But normally I just use the stock launcher and not the NEXT launcher.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] pants001:
Not talking about the Next Launcher.....each of the manufacturer distributions seems to use their own style launcher ("standard launcher").

Have a google or search this thread for JY launcher and KLD launcher.....they are slightly different, KLD has 1 row of icons on main desktop and a large weather/ time widgets

JY has 2 rows and weather and time off to one side. Its all a matter of preference but as stated....easily changeable
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] EuRomer:
Gotcha. Well i think i prefer the KLD still based on your description.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] tango22203:
I have the same unit like you. Did you find out if we can use these rom on our unit. Thanks
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] xrapidx:
I'm using the stock launcher, and whenever I change the DPI - the launcer doesn't size correctly, this happens on various roms - is there a fix for it?

---------- Post added at 06:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 AM ----------

Thanks - I'll try that on the weekend again - it'll be great if this can be resolved, as it seems to affect a few users, and I'm not convinced its entirely a power issue.

I've done a quick readup on dmesg - and I'm assuming if I plug in the 3g Modem while the unit is on, it should fire some sort of event which will write to the dmesg log. I'll do it on a working rom before trying malaysk's again for comparison.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] matekhr:
I also have the same unit, it came with KLD2 v2.55 MCU version.

I tried to flash KLD2 v2.55 MCU modded by Darkleo, everything was working OK, except the radio, which doesn't work at all.

I think Darkleo made his version on the KLD MCU basis, so I guess they aren't fully interchangeable.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Tumke30:
FM reception is pretty good. Dab+ reception with my dongle R820t and wavesink is not good. If i put my dongel in a laptop with a different DAB+ player the reception is pretty good in the car. I think you have to use the recommended FC0013 tuner by wavesink, because mine sucks with wavesink.

I am using your latest firmware and I think it is great. The problem is that there are so many different car types and these things can be configured so many ways. Most people who post on here don't understand what you go through to put these ROM's together. Please don't let a few complainers get you down. I think it is just a lack of understanding. Because of you and a couple of other folks in this forum my headunit is now operating and running and functions almost PERFECT!!

I ALWAYS look forward to your next release!!! Keep up the good work...PLEASE!!!

The main problem with Wavesink is that it's not at all car friendly. (It does work, had it running on my AN21-U unit).

There's no easy way to access presets (acutally there are no presets, just scanned stations). There's no AF. On the AN21 at least, there's no using the SWC. There's no Eon/TA either.

Wavesink is very much a work in progress. And the "radio dial" system is only available in the paid version by the way.

Look here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=60933749&highlight=wavesink#post60933749 for a rundown of it on my AN21, inclusive screenshot.

That's the payed version. The free version only shows a text-based UI with the found stations in VERY small letters. Trying to choose a station using that UI is sure to cause missery. (danger of parking your car against a tree :D )

I've written the developer with the question to develop the "radio UI" somewhat more, incoperate android-typical "next/prev" search buttons at least, but so far no further development in that direction is taking place, which is a shame really.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kaween:
I've not followed the forum for some time, but I can imagine Malaysk is fed up with people complaining about stuff like "ugly colours" and "this or that function does not work" when in reality, it's up to the (probably Indian - many of these units have their software developed in India, not China) programmers to debug these units. And some even have started to take his work for granted.

I don't use his firmware, yet I did donate for his work in the past. I wonder how many people asking him for -what ever favour- and even have the nerve to "remind him they asked for this or that", without ever having even considered to press that "donate" button under his name.

I hope/guess he just has a bad day, but I do understand his reasoning. He's not in it to make money, but he also isn't in it to deal with "the crap of the world".
