Looks better than the OEM, looking forward to the 1200x600 resolution.

I see you did the same thing with the MUsic app. would you please make it show the whole file name please?

would you please post the recovery alone for this so I can upgrade the recovery first then the whole ROM without loosing settings and apps?

Which firmware and MCU did you update?

I've been fighting this problem for months now.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Robbks:
Question.

I've been using Doubletwist as my media player for years on Galaxy tabs, etc, as it sync's directly with m iTunes library

But it appears that Poweramp is a bit more customisable.

My main question is, does Poweramp auto-pause on power-off with the 3066 Head unit.?

DT appears to not be sent a pause command when you power off the unit.

Secondly, I've been looking for a very simple widget for PA like this

just track details across teh top, and play, next, previous. underneath, large

especially with the low res of this screen and being in a moving vehicle to make life easy for passengers.

ANy help in finding a widget would be great

Hi bro, I think you flashed the wrong MCU (you flashed KGL5 instead of KGL). Try this one from Malaysk (same version as what you have now, but just KGL):

Get back to us if this resolves your issue.

---------- Post added at 03:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------

This is what I've been doing, getting update.img not found. BUT... I've finally figured it out

While replacing recovery ADB, the moment I hit adb shell - something was odd..... the shell was listing RK3066 instead of RK3188. No wonder people get scammed and the sellers continue to scam - average users couldn't tell the difference until you play around with these updates. My first unit I purchased an upgrade to 1024x600, they sent 800x480.. then this unit came and it's 1024x600 alright, but it's not RK3188. Used the RK3066 version of Malaysk' latest ROM and easy peasy we go!
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] xrapidx:
Is there a way to control the unit's lights - only to turn on when the lights are on? I see some roms do this, and others don't.

(not sure if its something an xposed module can do?)
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] OneCheekyDevil:
If i'm not mistaken, this is a role the MCU takes care of. It's not ROM dependant.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] pakidermo5000:
yes... I am afraid of that.

would you sugges replacing all capacitors ? They don't look like if they were burnt (usually when that happens they become fat and release some liquid...)

I think the chips next to the (is that a capacitor?) with the text 150 are burnt (see https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_Ddw1tZpHyYVFY4MXBmVW13a2s/view?usp=sharing), also the small resistors next to it.

update - the chips next to it are MPSD1, according to google, Integrated Interface Circuit For Position Sensing Devices, so I doubt these are burnt or have anything to do with the power failure. Most probably, they look like burnt because of the usual bad soldering of these pieces of cr@p.

I will try to fix the loose cable this weekend and see if something happens...

in the meantime I am still trying to contact KGL, so if anyone has contact with a KGL seller, please PM me.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] xrapidx:
My MCU hasn't change - I've only changed ROMs... and it doesn't do it anymore.

Although - I'm starting to think there is a big misunderstanding between the relationship between the MCU and ROM - my 3G has been a nightmare the past couple of months, I decided to try the latest available KGL rom to go with my KGL firmware, and now 3g (and GPS) - seem stable again.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] OneCheekyDevil:
I know in the past with my KGL unit, flashing different MCUs affected my lights in different ways - and that was without flashing a ROM.

Trying going into the Element settings and see if anything has been changed with the latest ROM flashing. If not, maybe try the HU's settings, and see if the lights settings have been altered.

Maybe one of the other masters on here might be able to chime in and help out.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] xrapidx:
Nope - its all the same. Just tried quickly.

KDL rom (latest I could find) - HU lights only on with vehicle headlights. Screen also dims with headlights.

KGL rom (latest I could find) - HU lights always on. Screen never dims.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] OneCheekyDevil:
Dude! Dont flash different MCUs from different manufacturers - you risk bricking your HU.

Lastest MCU isn't the greatest.

With my KGL, 1.99 seemed to be the sweet spot for me but the lights stayed on with the HU powered up. I think 1.86 was the only one where the lights worked properly but i had issues with the wifi.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] pk313:
I don't see onside of the component with 150 but I can suppose is that an inductance. ..capacitors for sure are all that up in your pic report i.e 220 16v with one side in gray/black that means that is electrolitic...all of this must be checked also for little deformation...on smd components...not so easy to identify but on print board u can see write some...

Anyway check carefully capacitors for condition and diode ...smd also...that can cause shorts like this

Again - I didn't change the MCU - only the ROM/firmware (i.e. update.img) - if I switch between KGL and KDL - I get different results.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] DRidilla:
I was going to say, the new Radio app is a step in the right direction but that visualizer doesn't seem very alive. Is it possible to get a visualizer like this in the new radio app? Even selectable visualizers would be an improvement. The only other thing I wish I could turn off on the radio is the category it shows. I'll put on a rap station and the radio is telling me it's a "Weather" channel. Rather just disable it.

Is there a guide to keeping all the apps and settings the next time I update firmwares, I'm not making the connection between what is being posted and the comments in the latest firmware release notes.

I want to throw out a technical question again. Is there potentially any way to have bluetooth phone directions from navigation cut in to the radio band instead of having to only be on the bluetooth input to hear it? Sometimes I just have my phone connected to the unit telling me where to go instead of using the unit's nav apps.

Appreciate all the work!

Setting the CAN Bus with a wrong choice, should not do anything bad during boot. It will just not recognize your wheel controls, but should boot ok.

Never tried it with my G2, but with my kid's iPhone 5s, AirPin worked fine for mirroring on my GS. If you're using one of the newer roms, it should have an option under Settings->Display for wireless display. Don't know if that's what you've been playing with.

Good evening, this afternoon I installed the latest firmware of the user malaysk , the firmware of August, and the MCU darkleo KGL4 v.2.55.

ONLY ONE WORD .. AWESOME!!!!

I'm really impressed by the maturity and functionality of this firmware , two navigation software work well and with great fluidity

1)sygic 5.34 is perfect FLUIDITY AND LOQUENDO work perfect

2)tom tom work perfect

the iGO on the contrary to my expectations it turns slowly and jerky but frankly I do not care about. SYGIC with Loquendo is the world's number one !!!.

so I am really very satisfied. thx malaysk and thanks all those who contributed to this topic.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
Yeah, I'm pretty sure AirPin only works with iOS devices. For Android, I think both devices need to be on the same wireless network; are you using the hotspot on your S5 for the headunit? Or some other shared hotspot that both devices are connected to?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] jalize:
I tried it with the hotspot on the unit, nothing...

Also tried it with a mifi (mobile wifi device) with both connected and with this I have seen some improvements and almost a paired, but the connection seemed very unstable. Maybe I must give mobile wifi another go. I have also tried wifi-direct which both paired but as soon as I want to do video streaming it disconnects the wifi-direct.

I've got a bit of a weird problem that I don't think I've seen covered anywhere else in this monster thread (I've been lurking for months, and am pretty sure I've just about read it end to end).

I've got an Eonon GA5153 (a 3066 KLD-based unit) and I'm running the latest Malaysk firmware and 2.64 modded MCU. Some time ago I seem to have lost the red channel for the button backlight. I've also always (well, almost always... I think there was one MCU where it was correct) had the blue and red levels swapped in the "Element" menu (increasing red makes the buttons turn blue, and vice-versa). But anyway, I used to be able to have the buttons backlit red (by maxing out the blue slider), but at some point it's like red stopped working altogether. If I max out the red and blue sliders, I just get blue, and if I max out green as well, I get the aqua color that you get when blue and green are mixed, but no matter what I do, I can't get red at all.

Has anyone ever seen this? Any chance it could somehow be related to the sliders being swapped? I'm thinking (and hoping) it's got to be some sort of software issue because I'm assuming it's one set of LEDs that are controlled by modified voltages (although I suppose one of those signals could be bad). Anyone have any thoughts? Was thinking of trying to go back to a different MCU, but I'm fairly sure it had worked correctly at one time on this MCU. Thanks!
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] pants001:
I think many of us have the issue of the sliders being swapped. I have set a color and never change so i have the latest MCU for the added sleep settings and can deal with swapped colors.

I cant remember if the red still works on mine since i use an almost white color for the hard buttons.

You can always go back to an MCU version that worked previously, takes 2 mins

Hi all, I recently purchased a Android HU for my 2001 Volvo. After installing it I have the following problem - the GPS finds satellites, but can not lock the location.

My guess is that would be a software problem (not with the GPS antenna), but how to solve it? Any help would be much appreciated, as I don't want to be returning it back to where it came from :) Would installing a custom ROM fix this? I found no information about MCU like mine (seems to be KSP)
