Going to repost my question because not being able to see actions on notification is very annoying:

Does anyone know if there's a way to get notifications to have a dark background in [MENTION=3590033]Malaysk[/MENTION]'s rom?

For reference: http://i.imgur.com/y2Nruvb.png

Yes, extract the relevant apk, decompile it, edit the xml then recompile it and put it back, or ask Malaysk to change it.

bootloop/crash with usb drive

If anyone is having problems with bootloops/android crashing when you have a large USB drive attached (in my case 256GB), I changed the default music player to be PowerAmp which fixed the issue.

Anyone else experiencing these issues:

1) Audio is skipping (both from MP3 and Bluetooth)

2) Services aren't starting - I tried to start viper4android as a service (edited install-recovery.sh appending "am startservice com.vipercn.viper4android_v2/.service.ViPER4AndroidService"), but the effects don't change until I manually start it. Also - enabling Loud works half the time (I tried MTCAutoLoud.apk)

Also - anyone know if its possible to apply multiple mappings to SWC's (perhaps through another app)? For example, long pressing a key adds a different function.

Nice work, been meaning to do that myself for ages.

No point testing it on 800x480 as the right side and bottom of the screen will be cut off, thats what happens when you put a 1024x600 ROM on an 800x480 unit . . .

. . . actually maybe it will work as I dont think the apps are different for the different resolutions, I ll try it.

I ve also been meaning to change the folder structure - all my music is in artist folders and then album folders inside the artist folders but the music app shows each album folder seemingly randomly. I d want it to show each artist folder and then let me go into each folder and see the albums inside.

Rear Camera Random 'No Signal'

Hi Folks, I get sometimes black screen with 'no signal' message when I set reverse...I have a rear camera installed that was working fine but since today sometimes works fine and sometimes I get black screen with 'no signal' message.

Would you think it is firmware/software related?

Any clue on how to troubleshoot it?

I´m runing coudus 4.4.4 MCU4.2

Thanks!
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
It's not entirely impossible if you use Xposed. While the hard buttons don't generate standard key events like say an android keyboard or usb keyboard, you could potentially modify the behavior of the functions that are pre-defined when certain buttons are pressed. Long-presses are accounted for in certain circumstances, of which I haven't fully mapped out.

It's still something I'm working on in my spare time for XMTC.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] clearchris:
Sounds like a loose connection to me. Id verify that before looking into software.

Just decompiled the apk and theres an icon for 1060x600 and a layout for it also, guess shouldnt be too hard to decompile the stadard music apk and swap the 1024x600 bits for 800x480 ones it your app doesnt work on 800x480 units.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] uncleg:
I don't think so. Probably it's a camera or MCU problem.

Check the signal from camera while android system is booting.

Check the camera working properly with other monitor

Check the connectors and cables integrity.

Try another video source to HU camera in

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
I believe even with Canbus SWC it calls the same methods in MicrontekServer, which could then be overridden via Xposed. Only certain buttons have a "long-press"; the MCU will send a different keyCode int. That's how I plan on implementing the button remapping.

You can't reset it. You may reflash it with new version.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] cpframe:
Are you putting the update img. on an sd card then moving it to the gps sd card via the unit? Or are you putting it directly onto the gps card? I've had a similar problem and noticed when moving the file from one card to another the card seems to get wiped clean. For example...if i put the update img. on an sd card it might show 600 mbs of data then when i try to copy it to the gps cars via the unit it will show 0 mbs and fail. I've tried different updates until i found one that worked. I've also had a couple of updates that even showed data on the card that failed to load. Keep trying. Hope this helps you.

KGL overide ACC pin

Hello to all I have a KGL7000 in a Fiat Bravo. As my car do not have an ACC position in its ignition switch I can only turn the unit on when the engine is running or the ignition key is at the ON possition.

I know that there is an ACC signal that tels the unit to turn ON and OFF. Does anybody know if there is a way to overide this?

The stock unit had an option called 20 minutes mode that allowed me to turn the unit on without turning the key to the ON position and then the unit was automatically powered off after 20 minutes.

Is something like that possible in the KGL unit?

thank you

Use canbus decoder instead direct ACC wire from vehicle

With canbus decoder, as I tell above, the HU will turned ON while sleep signal not comes from vehicle, in differrent car models it approximately comes in 10-20 mins after ignition is OFF or immediattely when key is out of the lock.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] uncleg:
Ok, and what ?

ignition ON -> HU is going to boot->ignition OFF->you have approx 10-20 min to play music etc.

If you connect BAT and ACC wires together, you'll got never powered off HU, sleep mode only by manually pwr button press. But in this case you'll got big battery drain, also.

Hi,

I have the same problem with HERE Maps. Is anyone know how to get settings visible with the last Malaysk's rom ?

++
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
Could you set the 20 mins option on your original head unit along with other things like auto locking etc ?

If so you may need to be able to do this from your KGL to enable it. I ve tried the Fiat CAN Bus settings on my head unit and there is no app that communicates with/shows info from the car, like there is for other car manufacturers (VW for instance), this may mean you wont be able to enable it.

You are not alone, some people cannot set their clock because it was done on their original head unit and the developers have not made sure the same functions are available in the MCU apps/CarSettings app

---------- Post added at 04:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------

Play about with the DPI settings, Malaysk's ROM has an app that does it.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] uncleg:
B-cos the external canbus decoder is dumb thing, and has universality oriented hardware and software design, which ignores more vehicle platform-depended features.

In case of the HU onboard canbus processing we'll have more flexible configuration of canbus features, i think.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
Yes, the decoder is dumb, but the head unit is not, it is the head unit that has all the apps and stuff to communicate with the car, but the developers have not allowed this with some cars, so if you have a VW group or BMW car for instance, you are ok, if you do not, then you may loose some functionality, at least until the devs add in features for your car.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] uncleg:
Yes, I have VAG, but

1. annoying thing thats depends from can-bus decoder - sleep signal and key out of the lock decodes as the same and HU going to OFF. I want to ignore the sleep signal by canbus decoder, and listen music as long as i want, while key in the lock. ( In previous WinCE HU i got this feature, builtin canbus)

2. my car production date is end of 2006, but the vehicle applet can't read the telemetry from can bus, but I strongly know - this information exist and know from whether block and channel num. need to read it.

3. simple feature - outside temp, very universal and standart for more canbus vehicles, but not displayed at the HU tray (In previous WinCE HU i got this feature, builtin canbus)

4. some of my VAG colleagues, reports about no OSD from climate, parking system etc.

Very very depends on year of roduction and base platform.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
So its patchy even for VWs, but they do better than the cars that dont have any functions at all !

Sounds like something we need to do ourselves - write an app with ALL functions, but we d have to do one for each car, a lot of work.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] uncleg:
Exactly, and thats why I love their standarts for building VAG car ecosystem. It's very simple to understanding and peripheral block coding for retrofitting and enabling the features.

You have to block the call in PowerOffAction() that writes your foreground app package name to the system Settings provider. Or block the call on boot up to read those settings. Neither of which can be done natively at the moment.

Disconnect DVD flex cable

Put power 12V (Yellow "+"; Black "-")

- measure the voltage on leg N31 of MCU ( must be 3.3V)

- via 1kOhm resistor short leg N31 to mass

- after this on MCU's leg N24 must be appeared 3.3V, if not - MCU is died

Anyway, I made a makeshift powered usb hub by cutting the earth and power leads on the usb hub and plugging in a usb lead with a 5v 500ma power source and my usb drive plugged into the hub. Tried it on my JY unit (2 rear ports only), after boot the LED was constant, then it started to flash, then got an unmounted error, then it would not mount again, even after a reboot. I tried the other usb port, wouldnt mount at all, tried changing which usb sockets on the hub things were plugged into, made no difference.
