[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] coworker23:
Dashcam applications (DailyRoads and AutoGuard so far) immediately crash when run.

I have an autopumpkin RK3188 with 800*480. I have installed the latest Malaysk update for RK3188 800x480 (June 30 2015, Kernel 3.0.36+) Android 4.4.4_30062015 build number rk3188-eng4.4.4 30062015.19:58:59. I am not sure whether there is an update to the MCU, and have not updated it. It's current MTCB-KLD2-V2.51 - Apr 22 2015.

DailyRoads installs, but when selecting it, I see DailyRoads flash at the top of the screen (system tray for a lack of a better word) and it seems like it's going to try to load it, but it refreshes back to the home screen. I originally thought it may be related to the NEXT Malaysk, so I did a fresh install of the non-NEXT image and I experience the same issue. I thought it might have to do with the USB camera I have plugged in, so I disconnected it. This did not fix the issue. I ended up trying another DashCam app, AutoGuard, and it goes through the first time setup fine, but as soon as it tries to load at the end it stops just like DailyRoads.

Only caveat is the head unit is currently connected to a 12v power supply, as I want to setup everything before taking the time to put it in the car. ACC/Positive is connected to the positive of the power supply, and ground is connected to ground. I am not sure if this is relevant, but I know when I try to view any sort of video on the unit, it thinks I am "driving" so it states video has been disabled. I doubt this has anything to do with it, since, obviously, I want to record video when driving, but thought I would mention it.

Any ideas? :confused:

Hi

Ive searched before but didnot get the post

Can u tag me the post no plz

Also should i root my hu ??
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] xrapidx:
So I've leart the following over the past week of struggling

1.) 3G is not stable for me on Malaysks rom - it works if you plug it in after boot - but the internet connection drops, even though the HU and 3G dongle report connected. (various MCU's)

2.) KDL's latest rom works from startup with official MCU - it has only dropped the internet connection once.

3.) Installing either of the darkleo_kumarai mcu.img files breaks 3G again - and its not available at startup - if I plug the device in after startup it works. I tried this about three or four times for starting it with the device plugged in, and plugging it after the HU is up. Same result

4.) After the above, I rolled back to the latest official KGL mcu .img and everything seems good again on KDL rom.

I can only hope KGL release a mcu update that supports sleep :(

My gps connection issue seems to be receiption based, it used to work perfectky under the dash - but now can't keep a lock - if I put it on the dash it works 100% (so far) - I think our weather might also be playing a part.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] mkau:
Hi!

I have exactly the same problem on my Erisin 9405a. It does not flash the MCU. Do you meanwhile have a solution for this problem? My problem is that the buttons (radio, phone, navi home etc.) on the radio do not work anymore. Therefore I wanted to update the MCU.

Here is a screenshot of the error message:

I'd like to install Malaysk rom. I have an eonon g2110zv stock, with android 4.4.4. What is your best sugggestion? Latest rom? And what about the mcu (now I have MTCB-KLD-v2.41)

And if i'd like to turn back to original firmware and mcu? What shall I do? Where I can find them? Thank you!
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] pants001:
Take a screenshot or photo of your current android version (not just 4.4.4 but the full name, it includes the date of the firmware) and also your MCU version.

You can always find the official firmwares and MCU here if your not happy with a new one

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BxmzvLRI7-eNeVA2SWkwM1pLZ28&usp=sharing#listv

Edit: but yes Malaysk latest rom and also 2.64 KLD MCU

(2.67 is KLD2, ignore that one for your system)
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] xrapidx:
I didn't investigate it much - just tried a couple of times and always had the same result - no idea why.

The KLD rom is ok - no real problems yet, but only been running it for a day and a half... I downloaded an internet status app to let me know if it does drop.... want to see if its time related somehow as it only seemed to happen on long drives.

Want to figure out how to set DPI properly so the screen displays a bit better, got used to Malaysks rom .
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] xrapidx:

HI guys,

maybe I will write something that is resolved, but I searched the thread and didn´t find the conlcousion.

So I have MCU MTCB KYD ver. 2.43 with Android KitKat 4.4.4 from 05/2015 in Ford Focus II.

And I would like to ask if is there any MCU i can switch on? Is there any improvements with audio production or is there any possibility to improve audio reproduction in my car?

And next can I just update.img my radio with android 1024*600 custom ROM with root?

That still won't solve my problem. The problem is the GPS app (Nokia Here) makes you crap your pants when it chimes in, even when muxing set to 1... I have used MX and Rock Player for years on other devices, and like both.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] mike.s:
The problem is that these units have a single setting for "system" in the MCU audio controls, and only a single System volume level on the Android side. That's different than traditional Android devices, which might also have separate levels for Media, Ringtones, Alarms, Notifications, etc. I'm not sure if support for different volume levels could be added or not. Perhaps someone with a better understanding of Android internals could say. I've tried some volume control apps from the Play store, and they don't do anything.

3G reconnect problem

I copy this script to the /etc/ppp folder. Before copying I made copy from original file.

Before this process the 3G worked fine, only after long drive the modem can't reconnect to the 3G network. I connected the modem to the Powered USB Hub.

After the replacing the file, the HU can't connect the 3G network. I didn't modify the file, I left the script empty (apn, usr, pwd).

After I replaced the original script to the folder, unfortunetly the HU can't connect the 3G network too.

I use Malays latest firmware.

What can I do wrong?

Thanks MrBean. I will investigate that further. I can reproduce the issue with no camera connected as well. I also determine, after some additional investigation, perhaps the USB camera I have isn't compatible so I was hoping to make certain DailyRoads loads before I purchase one off the list I found.

Sweet, these images come out quick! Thank you for pointing that out, I will give it a shot. I will look into upgrading the MCU as well. I was hesitant on upgrading it since I haven't investigated what type of MCU I had and wanted to play it safe.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] coworker23:
No Luck. Updated to 2.67 and updateKLD800x480KK4.4.4.rk3188.150713.fake and still have the same issue unfortunately.

I noticed the boot logo was now Conquer, and it's not very pretty since it's all Chinese, so I attempted to change the boot logo based off suggestions in the thread via Factory Settings. (Although this only changed the secondary boot logo, I noticed "front camera" was disabled, also, in factory settings, so I enabled it). This still did not fix the issue.

I am beginning to think I need to have a Camera connected to a specific USB cable based off the below response?

I will have to check when I get home. I didn't bring the back wires to the unit with me to work and I am only testing without a camera at the moment (or with a camera, but via the front port with OTG).

Hello

I have a unit and it hold power for 10 min when i turn the car off. is there way to get maybe 1 houer or something and i have look into the

build.pro is this the settings

ro.screenoff.timout=60000

How do you count this to minuten.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] jrgalang:
In

Same dilemma here. What I did to resolve is uninstall XposedMTC and leave Headunit as is and running on boot. Next is install CarService from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53678587&postcount=1179

In CarService, configure such that pressing next on your steering wheel control or HU does NOT play paused music (press the option to ignore state if it does not work). You'd also want to make sure to turn on the setting to pause music when Microntek app is loaded (stock Music/Video apps). This works for me but some caveat:

1) You have to wait for both CarService and Headunit apps to load on boot prior to running your custom app, otherwise you're back to your original problem until you reboot the device and wait the 2nd time

2) The music will pause (at least on MusixMatch and Play Music for me) when you open the default apps, even bluetooth, but you'll notice that when you press next, it still goes to the next track on both the stock app + custom app, it's just that your custom music app's playbavk is paused, but you'll notice in the taskbar that the song changes regardless. Not much of an issue but thought I'd note it anyway

3) If you want to play from your custom app, make sure that the stock app is closed (i.e. you click back button to really close it, you'll know it's closed as playback stops AND widgets reset to weather for KLD launcher); lastly

4) Temporarily turn off the headunit service as needed (this one's a big drag)

Let me know how it goes. Actually thinking of trying other ROMs to issue if it persists there as well (using Malaysk bte), but still need to format my GPS SD card before all else.

In very generic terms, some of the key features you might consider are:

OS: Available in Windows platform or Android. Windows is typically cheaper, maybe better with bluetooth, iPod integration. Android is more configurable and more widely supported. If you go android, they are mostly shipping with 4.2 and 4.4

Processor, currently available as dualcore RK3066 and Quadcore RK3188

Internal Storage: Most commonly available in 8GB or 16GB internal RAM (AKA: NAND)

Display: currently available in standard 800x480 or HD 1028x600

Many of us buy these units direct from Chinese Suppliers. I got the latest KGL with quadcore, 16gb and HD display for about $440 including 4 day express shipping to USA.

com.android.systemui has stopped

Yeah, I just investigated how to get into recovery via the first page and reinstalled. I originally installed Malaysk's July 7, 2015 and I liked the DPI on that, but like the main page of updateKLD800x480KK4.4.4.rk3188.150713.fake more (weather and clock are larger). I am not a big fan of the larger DPI though. I was hoping to prevent the need to manually set the DPI for each application via xposed. Is there any way to do this or am I gonna have to just deal with changing each application manually?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] shadowfoxmi:
Malaysk's rom comes with xposed but you have to activate it first by going into the app and install framework and reboot and then it also comes with a module called "Malaysk Statusbar Mod" (if not you can get it from XPosed app under modules or from here http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.dr8.malayskstatusbar). Make sure the module is also enabled (make sure it is checked in the installed modules list). This module has the option you are looking for ("Simple module to toggle visibility of the Power/Reboot button...")

Hope that helps
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] swanie2000:
You say the unit will hold power for 10 minutes.

1 minute = 60 seconds

I believe the RAM is integrated with the processor on the SOM which is replacable.

An easy solution to system memory expansion is the use of lsd() in the intsall-recovery.sh shell script which has been well covered in this thread. This will bind a directory on your external SD card to any directory you choose on your internal memory. I have done this and I have a Sansdisk 64GB external SD that only cost $20 on amazon.

Hi,

So I flashed a prerooted update.img to my new unit. I have not touched my original mcu. All seemed well, until the unit froze. Screen and buttons do not react. So I powered off, and it rebooted fine. However, it sporadically freezes when I'm clicking around. I thought it was because of my flashing, but my wife said the radio froze on her too the day before (before I even flashed). That meant even when it was still factory stock it sporadically froze.

Now I noticed I don't have wifi (even though I see the unit connected in the settings sceen and the wifi icon in the top corner). The browser opens but never gets to any website. I'm looking at the adb fix post on thw first page, but if I don't have wifi, I can't do the adb kernal update (I don't have a laptop either, to connect via usb). I was thinking adb from my android tablet to the head unit via usb - is this possible?

Anyways..., Is there a known good firmware / mcu / kernal combination? I have the following unit...

Before flashing:

Model - Eonon G2110ZV (rk3066 chip)

Android - KitKat 4.4.4_02022015

MCU - MTCB-KLD-V2.41 (Jan 29 2015 18:57:41)

Kernal - 3.0.36+ / root@ubuntu #649 (Wed Jan 28 14:57:03 cst 2015)

Build - rk3066-eng4.4.4 02022015 10:35:24

After flashing:

Android - KitKat 4.4.4_22052015

MCU - still the same

Kernal - 3.0.36+ / root@ubuntu #102 (Fri May 22 10:11:12 cst 2015)

Build rk3066-eng4.4.4 22052015 17:06:24

I got rid of my old WinCE unit a long time ago because of freezing and instability (it looked exactly the same as my unit in appearance). I hoped these Android versions were better, especially with the support of the community. I just want a stable unit with root and a little bit of bells-n-whistles (but nothing super fancy/advanced).

Any help would be much appreciated. I attached a sceen shot of my unit when it was still in it's original factory state.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] fbauto1:
Not sure how lsd is related to RAM
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] markcm:
I was suggesting in place of buying a new SOM module with additional RAM, you might consider using the lsd() function with in the install-recovery.sh shell script to bind/mount memory of your external SD card to your internal system memory. This mount takes place during boot up so it is pretty much seamless and you have the ability to mount a much larger amount of memory AT a much lower cost with this method as compared to what you could gain be replacing your SOM to gain 8GB.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] matt1981m:
If I am correct that isn't for quick boot, but for the screen timeout to prevent burn-in...

---------- Post added at 08:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 PM ----------

Would increase storage not RAM... Since there are some apps that you can't switch storage methods with (Nokia Here, for example... But I can't see how that would help with that unless you can specify .Android to be on the memory card...)
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] fbauto1:
Exactly. I asked RAM upgrade and u replied lsd.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] markcm:
Im not trying to be difficult here.... nor can I tell if you are open to suggestions...

lsd() is the most common way to "expand" an "internal system" directory on your system memory partition by bind/mounting the external SD to the internal system partition. It tricks the system into thinking there is more internal storage than there really is and utilizes the external SD for the actual storage.

This is how we are getting apps such as navigation or music apps which will only install to the internal system partition to work. I just did this specifically for Slacker radio which will only install and cache offline music (which is several gig's) to the internal system partition. The app would not download offline music because there wasn't enough storage space. I bind mounted my SD and now have many gigs of offline music.

If you want to put the large maps on the gps card you will have to use a pre-rooted image. Just search at the top of this thread for (here maps) read all of them (first page). starting from 7/15. There is too many for me to post.

Edit: The most helpful post was DSA's 16156. I use the gps card and my final lsd edit was to replace the tomtom line with:

lsd "/mnt/internal_sd/android/data" "com.here.app.maps" /mnt/external_sd*/*/
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] gmanor77:
I use this but it is less comfortable then using a dialer just like in a regular phone.

In True Contacts you need to search for the contact, then get into their contact card then locate the phone number and then it dailes.

In a dedicated phone app you can find a contact and a number using t9, or daieling with one key press.
