[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
That was just my opinion based on not knowing much about AA. It sounds better than I d thought (though far from perfect) now I know a little more how it works.

Our headunits are nothing more than tablets mounted in double DIN cases and attached to the usual car stereo utilities (radio, DVD etc).

I not sure I m going to be his app's biggest fan, but some people may like it and I think it is relevant to all Android head unit threads, personally.

Basically it seems like a car orientated screen mirroring app and theres been quite a bit of discussion about screen mirroring on here this week so some people are gonna like it. :)

Typos1 tell me why with oem firmware 4.4.4 rooted by dsa8310 i have boot logo animated and with Malaysk firmware dont have ? I tried more combination for bootlogo settings .

Mcu used is the same . V 2.53 . I dont changes.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
I think you mis-understand me and the person who posted that, DSA - this is an app you put on your car headunit and your phone and you can mirror your phone and some apps on your headunit, it will work on this headunit like it would on a tablet, some people may like this. I m not sure I m one of them and I get that the headunit is a full computer anyway so you could argue that this app is not needed, but some people will like it and want the whole branded "Google Android Auto" thing. Its down to choice really, everyone is different, that is what is so good about Android compared to Apple. There are loads of mods and apps that I dont like in this thread, but others do, we are all different.

Not into smart watches, cant see the point until they invent holographic displays, once they have, a smartwatch will replace my smartphone. :)

Sirs,

I find something strange on https://drive.google.com/folderview...haring&tid=0BxmzvLRI7-eNeVA2SWkwM1pLZ28#listv directory..... -When I select KLD folder. There is a new MCU file V2.53. But, when I do select the folder, the system shows the file name, which is : MCU_JY_2.53.rar

This a correct KLD MCU file, or somebody upload it into a wrong directory ??? ( perhaps this is a JY MCU file, and not KLD....)

Thank you for the idea.

I just did take off the screen assembly then I disconnected and reconnected the touch screen cable but the touch screen remains unresponsive.

I am now wondering about some things you guys could help me with since I am no specialist but the power or many can't be discussed :)

Could there be some chip that controls touch screen that is fried or something? and how could i test that?

Can the firmware controlling the touch screen be updated / reinstalled? is it possible to check that?

Could there be something else interacting with the touch screen may be?

Thank you for this test mcu firmware. Works great, Bluetooth seams to have changed a little (still testing). I checked the current draw for those interested. My hu draws on the constant power lead .01 amp normally and .15 amp when in standby. I doubt this will cause battery run down issues in two hours. I really like the not having to go through a full boot-up when running a bunch of quick errands. It's a KLD6_2.54 but worked with my KLD_2.49. Hopefully the MCU manufactures will make this a select-able feature in future releases.

Hi MALAYSK !

Today I did try that MCU on my KLD HU. Radio sleep mode works, and I can set again the button colours!!!! That function works fine again! Clear (not awake from sleep mode) boot time is slower with 1-2 secs.

Using Bluetooth dial, in&out works.

Using ELM327 via Bluetooth still not works. Pairing, but still does not requesting the pairing code, and thats the problem! Without that, the OBDII device does not communicate with the car's ECU.....
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Malaysk:

more than ask just in case.

Is the microphone so that the correct motherboard.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
Sure. You have to use either java reflection or xposed to get the method that's called when those buttons are pressed, and then alter what action(s) are taken from that point on.

Or get the mfg to reconfigure which keycode integer is passed through from the MCU to MTCManager when a swc button is pressed.

Manufacturer. Whichever one makes the MCU for your headunit.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] mikereidis:
:)

Choice and competition are good, particularly when it benefits us, the "consumers", instead of the rich multi-nationals...

Yes, a headunit that can run almost ANY Android app is technically superior and much more versatile than lesser HUs, or a tablet running my HU app.

Personally I feel confident that Google will EVENTUALLY "get it right" and make AA a compelling experience that all works together and that many people will not want to leave;

But at this time, Android app running HUs are superior, especially if they have the option of running an HU app.

I'm excited to see what Android Auto (and other) news will be released at Google I/O Thursday and Friday....

[MENTION=6114030]Petrows[/MENTION]

I'm still having problems with autostart services on latest JY firmware. If I leave Radio or Music app open when switching off headunit, at next boot it opens this last used app, but Radardroid and XMTC sunrise service doesn't start until I press the HOME key on screen. It seems your app is using a different method for autostart, as it's always starting right after boot.

Maybe you could add an option on settings of your app to make it send a HOME key intent right after starting your service. This way, it will keep Radio or Music playing, but other services will start right after booting.

Sygic Please HELP!

I have problm to install Sygic on my new device.

MCU version MTCB-KGL4-V2.22

Mdel S07

Android version 4.4.4_15012015

Kernel Version 3.0.36+ root@ubuntu #512

Build rk3066-eng4.4.4 15012015

Resolution 1024x600

I have write to Sygic support, because I have paid licence, and I have received e-mail wit steps that I have to make to delete all Sygic files and to try to install .apk file that support have send to me.

I have try to do all of this steps, but it does not work for me.

When I install software I'm redirected to Sygic store. I can download all maps and voices and when i click Start i can see user menu, settings etc... but it does not show the maps. When I restart Sygic I'm stocked in Sygic store where I can see that maps are installed, but I can not use the software.

I have also write to seller, and they told me that problem is because I have maps for resolution 800x480, and not for 1024x600? :)

If anyone knows how to solve this problem please help, because it is annoying that everything works super, but paid software does not work.

Or just replace Next launcher in system/priv-app with the auncher you want, or just install another launcher the normal way.

Automobile Association, Alcoholics anonymous, Android Auto, take your pick ! Lol.

Well, maybe but as most people do carry mobiles so you can see the logic of AA, even if it does make having a headunit as powerful as ours a little redundant.

Hey, hello Saifbarry, long time no hear from you in this thread. I wondered what had happened to Raodmaster, we hardly ever hear of anyone with an RM unit now, wonder why they havent gone to KK.

NEW May 24, 2015 for 800X480

Only for RK3066 800X480

++++ Completely reworked the whole firmware "with zero" (the base - the factory firmware is dated April 24, 2015.)

++++ Root there, but now it is no control manager Root SuperSu (has been removed). Root will be provided with all the programs that need it automatically. If someone is not satisfied, then download the SuperSu Manager and install it yourself.

++++ Remove program Chrom (is a standard browser)

++++ Added to the Settings section for developers.

++++ Changed the status bar and notification blind.

++++ Removed icon screensaver (moon) in the status bar.

++++ Added a module for Xposed from MVG-V70 with Russian Forum (I thank him very much for the good job) mtc-keys, which allows action to remap the buttons radio.

++++ Reworked menu completely reboot.

++++ A number of other fixes, additions and speed optimization system boot.

After the firmware immediately go to Settings, Restore and Reset-Reset and do reset to the factory and put a tick - to delete all data from the SD card.

Who jumps at the sound of speed when driving, it is necessary to go to the settings MTC Service (Car) and turn off the sound speed compensation (GPS).

Is it possible to change the ram? I've read that there is an ddr3 ram inside and want to stock
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
The idea is that, as EVERYONE carries a mobile around with them, it would be connected to a display in the vehicle (via usb or wifi) and used via the display in the vehicle so that at all times when you are driving youre simply using your mobile via a different display/interface. As opposed to buying an entirely different car based computer, which would mean that as well as paying out for an expensive mobile phone computer you will also pay out for an expensive car based computer. This idea makes financial sense as you wont be buying 2 expensive pieces of equipment and it also means that the expensive mobile phone you are going to be carrying around with you anyway (because NO ONE will want to leave their mobile at home) will not be redundant when you are driving as it would be if you have both a mobile Android device and a car based one. This makes perfect sense to me, why have 2 pieces of equipment when one will do ? I can deffo see the point, although, obviously, I choose to also have a car based computer as well as a pocket one. :)

What do you mean "cost you the driver window" ?

I have the same MCU on KLD2 v2.51 RK3066. ( OEM)I just installed Today a Firmware 800x420 on it. I just made an update.img. My problem was that the Original firmware was not rooted and the seller from china send me a unit with 512Mb, but i ordered with 1GB RAM DDR3. I thought maybe i can do swap the RAM to SD Card. Audio, DVD , GPS IGO is working good . Until now i didnt have a problem with firmware( just a bot slowly beacouse of RAM).

Great job for the Firmware..

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
Fair enough, but for those who want it, that other poster's AA app should work. I dont want it anyway, was just playing devil's advocate. :)

2.49 latest KLD MCU apart from the KLD6 2.56 MCU which has an extended shut down time ans is experimental.

None of the original firmware is rooted, for root you need a rooted ROM.

There are no 512Mb RAM versions, if you have 512Mb RAM your unit is faulty, one of the RAM units is dead, your unit should be returned.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
Technically, the Navi button is handled by Settings (much the same way that mtc-key works). The biggest issue with remapping is sound source handling. What happens if someone wants to remap the Home button (for example) to launch Poweramp, but Radio is already playing? There is no functionality in MTCManager to know to shut down Radio and switch audio output to android, and you'll get overlapping sound. I believe that's why the functionality isn't there by default; too many possibilities if you give people those options.

Ideally the mfgs would have the rom maker(s) build an audio-monitoring service that could dynamically adapt to all situations.

Hey typos1, yeah life got busy and this thread pretty much exploded :) From what I've gathered, RM is only marketing their headunits in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Yemen, Egypt, Bahrain, Russia and Malaysia. So quite limited and predominantly non-English speaking markets. RM focuses on Arabic interfaces/UI so that might have something to do with the resistance to move to KK. Maybe they don't want to put in the effort and/or it could just be there's no consumer demand. Not many tinkerers in my area. In any case they are locally available which means local warranty so have to live with the lack of updates. And since we can use pretty much any ROM its less of a concern at least for me.
