[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Tha_Stig:
Hi all,

Anyone have a similar problem with downloaded music not being recognized by Spotify on these units. I am sure my SD Cards are good, have not done a PVCStartup build in a week, and have had no SD Card slot read errors. I know the downloaded music is on the SD Card because it is the only thing I have on there and it shows that I have 5GB of space used up; additionally, when I redownload the music after it disappears it downloads really quickly on extreme quality. Also, I have isolated and synced the downloads to both the GPS slot and the regular slot.

Any thoughts as to why this is happening? My new theory is that Spotify occasionally starts before the SD Card is mounted and this cause confusion in the app.

Any help would be appreciated and if anyone with the know how to look into this needs any info I will gladly do whatever is needed.

RK3188 1024*600, KLD2 v2.67 MCU, 32GB SD Card

Thank you so much!!! Do you have any suggestions on firmwares and or firmware mods that work well with the Roadmaster?

How do you set DPI per app? I recall seeing something like that
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
I found that the bluetooth contact sync doesn't always work right. I avoid using the built-in bluetooth address book.

For some reason, they decided to hide the stock People (Contacts) app from the launcher, which works much better for making calls. I added my Google account to the headunit, and added True Contacts from the play store, which is pretty much the AOSP People app.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
Yes, I did suggest that to pakidermo and he did add the other manufacturers to the title, we also did work on a spreadsheet listing all the differences and all the versions.

I also saw that it was Rhythm electronics, I m sure I ve heard of them before, dont know why theyve go Klyde homescreens on it though..
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] saifbarry:
Yeah but can you actually make a call using the contacts app?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
I'm pretty sure I tested this, but it could have been via Tablet Talk. I'll go confirm here in a bit.

You'll probably want to try the 1.77 kernel.

That's half the fun of an android headunit :D
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kwalsh24:
I now too suffer from the wifi dropout, I did a factory reset and thats when the issue came up. Going to try to reflash and see if it goes away, as I. Ant download a file now without a connection drop :(
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
Likewise. That's what prompted me to get the 1.77 kernel on there. No more drops and no superfluous wifi errors in dmesg now.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kvantum:
Has anyone been able to pair a bluetooth keyboard with their unit?

It's not working for me, wondering if there's a simple fix for this
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kwalsh24:
Hmm okay, may have to try that next of a reflash didn't work. How did you go about the kernel mix? Stable?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
I ve got a tv box with a RockChip RK3188 quad core processor and an app that you put on your (Android) phone to control it via wifi.

Pretty sure it works with the RK3066 processor as well, you can get it from here :

http://minixforums.com/threads/official-android-phone-tablet-remote-control-app.53/

It has a keyboard, a mousepad, a media remote and a game controller.

Cant see as many uses for it with a car headunit as there are with a tv box (cant really drive and use your phone) but some people may find it useful.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kvantum:
Oh I see. Yea, that's a neat app, but I don't think it's going to be as useful for me. The idea was that I would have a keyboard that's always paired sitting in glove compartment or velcroed somewhere close, so that if there's lots of interactions to do - whether it's e-mail, complex gps coordinates etc - it would be 2 seconds to get it out and start using. Obviously I wouldn't use it while driving.

Having to connect a phone to it and using a screen to type would pretty much eliminate the efficiency of it.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
I see what you mean, but wouldnt the battery run out pretty quickly if its paired all the time ?

Anyway, I did think of posting it here the other day just in case some people found it useful, so I have now !
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
You could just plug in a small usb keyboard to one of the back ports. No need to worry about batteries or pairing then.

I find the BT stack on the Huifei lacking. Doesn't appear to support many profiles, or initiate any pairing from the hu side.

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 PM ----------

See my earlier post here. As for stability, it seems as solid as 1.77 did. I haven't encountered any issues so far.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kvantum:
The keyboard uses the same connector as a phone. I have power outlets set up for multiple simultaneous phones charging at once(and also for dashcam and harddrive with music). The idea would be that keyboard would always be plugged in, except for when the passenger needs to charge their phone (which is not often), and even then standby rating on that keyboard's battery is around 30 days.

But thanks for the link, I'm considering a new media centre box so it may come in useful then.

---------- Post added at 04:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------

That's actually a pretty good idea. Now the challenge is to find a USB keyboard small enough to fit in hands without having to place it on something to use....
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
No probs.

I should save your money and just buy a normal keyboard if its always going to be plugged in, may as well plug it directly into the HU as agentdr8 says, no point bothering with bluetooth, especially as its supposedly not very good.

Has anyone actually tried a BT dongle on this ? I m sure I ve heard people ask before, but cant remember any replies.

I saw a BT dongle Poundland the other day !Lol (UK store where everything costs a Pound)
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
Something like this? -- Guess Brando discontinued it. It's a shame; was thinking about getting one myself.

Found this one which is 8"x4" and wired. That should be small enough to stuff in the glove box.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] peppuzzo78:
how can i lock my screen? pls help!!
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
I could be wrong, but I can't find the keyguard classes in the framework, so it's possible they were removed. Maybe try a 3rd-party lockscreen from the play store?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] thongy:
Anyone have a solution to this? My headunit will not power off unless I manually do it, I already tried a restart widget and also the reset button.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
I was mistaken. Calls can't be made from the People app. I had installed it to sync contact photos so that they show up correctly in Tablet Talk, which does let me make calls from the headunit.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] sprfly:
FYI supplier on aliexpress Winlink sells HuiFei units. I had them send me a picture of the system info screen and the MCU version is KGL-1.77. They were on sale for I think 269$ US for 7610 but the sale is now over; hopefully they will be on sale again.

Ah I see. Yes, that is landscape in Nova, but what you would normally see on a phone that's been rotated. I believe Nova determines how (and where) to display the dock based on DPI or screen resolution. On my Transformer tablets, the dock is on the bottom by default.

Try altering the DPI and/or the resolution that Nova sees via App Settings.

If you're referring to the modified apks that Malaysk posted, you can't just install them like a normal apk. You have to use a root file explorer and copy them to /system/priv-app (or /system/app, depending on where the original file is located).

Help enabling USB-over-ADB Pumpkin Duo Core Kitkat 4.4.4 infotainment system

Has anyone tried and succeeded in enabling USB-over-ADB on an in-car infotainment system? I just rooted my Pumpkin Kitkat 4.4.4 infotainment platform to enable USB debugging but when I connect it to my laptop, nothing prompts and the device doesn't even appear in "Device Manager" under "Unknown Devices"... I also set the infotainment system as "Mass Storage Device" when having a PC connect to it through USB. I though rooting it would solve the issue. I'm doing this for a research project involving Forensics programs but they can't extract anything if they can't find my device.

Please someone help if this is possible as I hit a wall with this...

You have to enable USB debugging. Go to factory settings but for the password type in "adbon" instead of the normal "126"

It should work after that

Just trying to root this so I can get BT to work with Torque.

I tried the root process on the first post using the app on the first post. It seemed to work(?). However the restart device button didn't work. So i manually restarted the device. No i can no longer connect to any of my wifi networks. Also the android version is a lie. It is on 4.2.2

Why 3G on only some apps ?

EDIT : this was due to the wrong APN being used. Use This Mobile Settings app to check your APN

i'm using a recent quadcore klyde unit with Malasyks excellent 4.4.4 (August 2015)

this problem happens with all firmwares - even the factory shipped software

why would 3g data (via USB Huawei E3131) only work with some apps ie. default browser but not pandora or play store ?

it's not a power issue as the browser can consistently use the 3G anytime

however other apps crash or do not connect of course i looked in the app settings ie. pandora to check mobile data usage is enabled

any thoughts ? thx

I've also had this problem. I have tried to adjust the levels to factory settings, but I have come to the conclusion that the best is to not use GPS Audio Mixing.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Tumke32:
Yea Nova depends on the resolution if its in landscape (tablet modus) or in portrait modus . You have to set the resolution higher than 1280 and it will show in landscape modus. This "issue" is discussed earlier in this topic.

i found the topic http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=57486488&highlight=nova+landscape#post57486488

you can force it using Xposed App Settings. Set Screen (dp) to 800x1280 and DPI to 180 this will fool Nova into running in tablet mode.

where is it recommended to get one of these, I have checked amazon, ebay, ali, but I have been unable to find any that have all the newest things, and fit my car.

I have a 2015 lancer GT, it has a rockford fosgate amp, some of the listings specify it will not work with this some say they will but then don't have something else.

what I want is android 4.4.4 or one that can support this costom rom by Malaysk, 1024x600 7"+ screen, quad core, ODB2, and Canbus decoder(With rockford amp.), 7" + screen

like for instance this listings on ebay (not allowed to post links so just have to mention) which would be good except with 1024x600 screen and quad core, any place suggested?

sometimes I find listings with all I would want except they say lancer 2006-2012 so then won't work either

All the listings for universal 2din don't mention if they have rockford support, so I don't know is the issue, or I could try to get universal and dash kit

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am new to these, but familiar with android and using custom roms and whatnot.

The lancers have pretty much been unchanged since they first came onto the market, so I don't see why any of the models wouldn't work for your 2015. Just one of those things you need to google and research just to double check.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] tlieaxu:
I was looking at that one, and the one thing I noticed is most pages like aliexpress that have that one explicitly say

Note: 1,There are no analog TV function, no remote control and no manual book

(user manual is built in the Android unit).

2,This device Not support the Lancer with Rockford amplifier !

I would post a link but I am unable yet.

so I don't think it will support rockford fosgate, and most likely won't support an aftermarket amp at all as there is nothing really specific about rockford. But I could be mistaken.

Spotify issues

Hi guys,

After recent updates from Spotify (about a month or so) I'm having troubles with the app. When I tap the icon to open there's a black screen for about 3 seconds then it crashes to desktop. I reinstalled Condu's ROM and at first it solved the problem. However after installing some other apps and services (CarService, MTC...) it started crashing again. I couldn't narrow down which installation caused the problem to reappear. Spotify is showing on RAM.

I browsed this post and saw that "early booting" spotify might help. Can anyone help me do it? I saw the command "while ! am start com.spotify.music/com.spotify.music.MainActivity; do sleep 1; done" but I don't know where to add it, or if this is the correct command.

Anyone could solve this issue?

Tks.
