After installing the music and radio apk's do any permissions have to be changed or do you just overwrite the old ones after copying them somewhere else?

Steve
[MTCB Software Development] doctorman:
Make sure the permissions are the same as the original or the rest of the MTC apps in the sysytem/app folder

=========

can we have a 2nd line for RDS/RDBS data on the screen and remove the scrolling so all the date shows at once please?

when you are driving you do not have time for the fancy scrolling to show the whole text slowly few words at the time.

it would be safer for all the text to show all the time.
[MTCB Software Development] comptechltd:
Thanks for the reply. One other question. I'm using [MENTION=3590033]Malaysk[/MENTION]'s latest ROM and my files are MTCradio3 and MTCmusic3 The new ones are MTCradio4 and MTCmusic4. Does that make any difference??? Can I just copy the new ones(The 4's) in place and delete the old apk's(The 3's)??

Steve
[MTCB Software Development] doctorman:
I rename the file to exact same thing as malaysk rom files to avoid issues but I do not think it is anissue
[MTCB Software Development] comptechltd:
Thank You. It worked perfectly.

New changelog :D
[MTCB Software Development] vdubskey:
Sweet. I think using the standard Android message bubble you used for the message that pops up if it can't find the last played song would be better? That way it is consistent.

But at least there is confirmation now of what's going on. Nice work.

---------- Post added at 06:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 AM ----------

Or maybe just make the message simpler by removing the large "Loading" and just have it say "Loading last played song" with the loading icon. Would look clean and symmetrical without the big empty space in the top right of the message box.

Just my opinion tho :)

Guys, is it in every ROM that the Radio app forgets the radio settings after a reset or full power down? It looses all the stations, I have to do a full scan again...
[MTCB Software Development] pk313:
If for full power down u mean a reboot...

Isn't normal

During a full reset at original factory..

Is normal

Check your power connections yellow and red if are properly connected

Inviato dal mio SM-A500FU utilizzando Tapatalk
[MTCB Software Development] vdubskey:
Ok I'll check it out. Thanks.
[MTCB Software Development] robertut:
Power connections all OK, factory plugs all pins connected properly and work as expected.

I'm not talking about a full reset at original factory. Sometimes it's enough to just exit the radio app, and start it again later (without even power off the HU), and all stations are lost.
[MTCB Software Development] :
With some models its normal that they lost settings. Unfortinately. If you use xposed framework you are able to use exposed mtc module which keeps your settings (stations) with name. I must use it too.
[MTCB Software Development] doctorman:
it is a software bug,

use MTCXpose module to remmeber and restore the radio stations, even then it might happend .

I asked the developer of the xposed MTC to create a back up restore option that could be saved a s afile and transfered but I am sure he has better thing to do. unless there are more people requesting it.
[MTCB Software Development] robertut:
How do you actually use it? I already enabled xposed framework and exposed mtc module, but sometimes stations are lost, sometimes not.

I noticed that xposed mtc service is not always running. Is that normal?
[MTCB Software Development] :
You may use pcv service to load mtc service early. You have to "learn presets" inside xposed mcu app.
[MTCB Software Development] robertut:
OK, learning presets: does radio have to be running during saving them, or should I exit radio app first and learn afterwards?
[MTCB Software Development] :
I have searched for my favorite radio stations and saved them inside radio app. I selected all once to get rds name for the stations. Then i left radio with back button go to xposed and tell them to learn. It ack this to you in a message bubble. Then i renoved the ignition key and started the radio later again. In pcv i told that xposed have to load asap.
[MTCB Software Development] pk313:
Was happened the same on my radio sometimes with an old mcu..first forget preset stations and was switching off wifi sometimes ... but i still don't know if was related to that or is a bug in the rom

Now don't happen from months and months

Just for info....kld 2.64 and malaysk end of august

But I repete I'm not sure if it's really related to the mcu that must 'fit' the system. ..

[MENTION=6916576]sabruri1[/MENTION] First of all I really like the music app!! It is so much better than the orignal one. I think I´ve found a minor bug. I have a Folder where every song has a different cover. With the first song the cover shown in your app change correct same as the second one, but from the third song it will stay the same like the second cover. So the cover wont change anymore. Also I was wondering if you could make the screen where the titles are shown (the title list) to fill the whole screen. I think that would look great. Thank you for your great work!!! :)

[MTCB Software Development] robertut:
Is there some tutorial describing how to modify APKs at this level?

I'm interested in modding a bit MTCBlueTooth a bit - the background of the popup of incoming call is transparent, which is not good, caller name is hard to read (should be 50% opaque), and the contacts list has too small fonts.
[MTCB Software Development] vdubskey:
Your probably using one of the custom roms if the background is transparent. Just replace the Bluetooth APK with one from a stock firmware image. I know my bluetooth caller screen isnt transparent and I'm running the stock apps.

For your other changes, there are quite a few guides on XDA using apktool to decompile apks.

requesting a mod on the RADIO.

I occasionally touch the search button and lose all my save radio channels, can we change the behavior of the search button to do nothing on a touch but it should work only if pressed and held for few seconds?
[MTCB Software Development] robertut:
Can you point me into the right direction please? I've found a quide describing how to mod apks using just WinRAR and renaming to zip. But I doubt that's the real way to do it.

Very strange. I use malaysk rom (6 july version) but not seems to work for me properly.

Which rom you use?

I upload a video that shows the problem

https://youtu.be/AY0Nqjcj7x8
[MTCB Software Development] sabruri1:
Wrong procedure! You should not install apk, you must rename MTCMusic47.apk into MTCMusic4.apk and copy it into system/app.

I use jy stock rom
[MTCB Software Development] doctorman:
[MENTION=6916576]sabruri1[/MENTION]

Few users have asked how to install these, please add a detailed how to install these in the first post to avoid stupid questions filling up this thread.

=========INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION=============

. -----------Modified MTC APKs--------------- .

1) These MTC apps will work on ANY RK3066 or RK3188 ROM

2) You need to have a Rooted ROM, like Malaysk ROM

3) copy the MTC_____XX.apk to System/app using ROOT EXPLORER https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&hl=en

4) Rename your Original MTC____x.apk to MTC____x.apk.original or bak this up somewhere else

5) Rename the Modified MTC____XX.apk you got from here to the same name as the original file above MTC____x.apk

6) check the permission of the modified files to match the permission of the rest of the apk files in the SYSTEM/App folder

7) Optional: Copy the shortcut of the new app to your launcher

8) Test out your new modified app and report any issues that you have with complete detail here

9) Make sure to hit the "THANKS!" button
[MTCB Software Development] hadjistyllis:
Its not wrong procedure( if it was wrong neither 4.2 will work). If you unistall a system app restart and install as user app is the same thing ( until now i never have any problem and i have change a lot of apps with modded ones with no problem). Also with this method upgrade is easier.

By the way i will try make it as system app, fix permissions and see if it fix the problem.
[MTCB Software Development] vdubskey:
This tool is pretty slick. I've been using the command line tools and this seems to wrap them all up in a nice gui. Sweet.

---------- Post added at 09:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 PM ----------

I thought it wouldn't even install if done like this?

The way I have been doing it is I first goto settings\apps and clear cache and data from the music app. Then copy and replace the original MTCMusic4.apk in the root\system\apps folder using favorite explorer app. I use FX with root add on. Works every time no issues. No need to delete or uninstall or set permissions as they are already set. 0644 I think?
[MTCB Software Development] pk313:
As I know with this method you can maintain all system exactly the same and you can prevent future problems regarding cache and mcu saved data

U must follow this standard upgrading way for mtc apps

I.e. ....if you have a KLD mtcradio and you try to upgrade with a JY mtcradio update will fail

So the standard is to replace mtc and renaming the same.

This is my experience

---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------

I also downloaded the music selection of@hadjistyllis, and I experience the same symptoms as he does.

Cleared cache, re-downloaded apk, etc. Covers are not updated when switching between songs. Malaysk's rom from September.
[MTCB Software Development] doctorman:
based on my experience the reboot has not been necessary, considering this is a car unit it will get reboot sooner or later anyways
[MTCB Software Development] mrky01:
hi. Nice work, but is it possible to turn off the slide titles in the playlist of Mtcmusic apk?
[MTCB Software Development] doctorman:
what do you mean by slide titles? do you have a screen shot of it?
[MTCB Software Development] :
I think the scrolling of the titles, if too long to display.
[MTCB Software Development] doctorman:
I agree , all the scrolling should be removed from the music and radio app,

this is an IN CAR radio, when you drive youc an not stare at the screen to see what is scrolling, you want to look and see the whole text
[MTCB Software Development] :
I agree with you.

Sabruri1, i tested the music and radio app, now with my device and its working all very well. Maybe the wait for usb time is a bit too long but the rest seems to be very nice. Radio works good too. All apps keeping their settings as well.

I suggest to replace scolling textes with normal ones. For music and radio app. For file browsing on music in video app, i suggest to make the title list more bigger. Currently its on approx. 50% (original was 25%) and you can do 75% so the need of scolling there is less than required.

For Video app, please check if you can add more ratios. I used vlc and my videos stored on card are perfect but with video app, the head looks like eggs :). Maybe there are options, if not... nevermind.

Last but not least: Damn good job, man!

To all: "Thanks" this thread!
[MTCB Software Development] vdubskey:
If all it takes a little scrolling text to distract you guys from the road maybe you shouldn't be driving lol. If your looking at that list to begin with it means your selecting a song, so your attention is already off the road. Not to mention my STOCK OEM head unit scrolls all text longer than the screen. How dare they endanger all of us like that (sarcasm warning)
[MTCB Software Development] doctorman:
The point is to see the whole text you have to keep looking at the radio screen which is uaully well below the windshield for extended time, versus if it would show you the whole text at once you could read it with one glance or at your own pace.

The questions is how long do you need to look at the screen to collect all the data that you are looking for.
[MTCB Software Development] matekhr:
Hmm, I like scrolling texsts.

My passengers have more fun :)
[MTCB Software Development] hadjistyllis:
Malaysk rom are kld based and for some reasons cannot work normally on kld roms. Although 4.2 works ok so changes he made after 4.4 seems to be the problem.

If someone has rom except jy and works please post here.
[MTCB Software Development] doctorman:
it is mostly the driver alone in the car, I agree scrolling looks better but not worth losing the function for the driver

---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 PM ----------

I have JY HU running Malaysk ROM rk3188 HD

these apps seam to work with no problem
[MTCB Software Development] hadjistyllis:
Ok 3188 works

What about 3066? Someone?
[MTCB Software Development] sabruri1:
If you don't like text scroll, you can disable it by erasing "ellipsize=marquee" in res/layout/list.xml for 800 x 480, and res/layout-1024x600/list.xml for 1024 x 600
[MTCB Software Development] :
For that i have to use a program to decompile right?
[MTCB Software Development] sabruri1:
yes
[MTCB Software Development] :
Funny i know nothing about it.
[MTCB Software Development] mrky01:
sliding of the filenames in playlist

thanks [emoji106]
[MTCB Software Development] vdubskey:
Well you have two choices. One is turn it off and you still wont see all of the text. Or make the text substantially smaller to fit all the text and will have to focus harder on the screen to even read it. I have some albums that have album and track names that are double liners. Lol.

But I do remember seeing some "marquee" function in the XML files for the track title label that may have to do with the scrolling text. Might be the same for the list view as well.
[MTCB Software Development] doctorman:
I hear you , for music I dont care much, the scroll for very long file name is the only way but for radio the RDS text can be easily split in to 2 lines without making it smaller.
[MTCB Software Development] robertut:
Dear [MENTION=6916576]sabruri1[/MENTION]!

Please find attached Hungarian Language translations for MTCMusic, MTCMovie, MTCRadio, MTCBluetooth, MTCDVD, MTCFileBrowser, MTCNavi, MTCPhoto. Tested and working.

Maybe next time when you touch any of these apps, you could add to them these translations too.

Updaded: with other MTC apps.
[MTCB Software Development] robertut:
MTCBluetooth better readability

Here's MTCBluetooth app optimized for better usage while driving. Text is bigger, text fields resized so that they fit nice without overlapping. Tested on 800x480, see attached screenshots.

Also added Hungarian language.
[MTCB Software Development] Billkaza:
Have you also got the problem to your version with names displayed other way..What i mean is if i have a phone contact named TOM GOOD in my phone then in HU it shows GOOD TOM?
[MTCB Software Development] robertut:
Yes, but that's because the app has a default way to handle family name and surname. Different nationalities handle that differently (which name is the first), and also influences on how the phone stores them.

There's no way to modify this in the app.
[MTCB Software Development] 2safe4you:
Looks good.

One Idea to make it more readable:

In the Picture for: missed Calls, incomming Calls and outcoing Calls

Why all this Information are in ONE Line like:

Mr. Peabody & Sherm... +45 12345 6789 2015/10/27
19:20:21

Better is in in TWO Lines like:

Mr. Peabody & Sherman the Dominator 2015/10/27
+45 12345 6789 19:20:21
[MTCB Software Development] robertut:
I'll see what I can do.
[MTCB Software Development] comptechltd:
I updated my HU to the latest Malaysk Rom and installed your bluetooth mod. It looks GREAT!! One small issue I noticed is when you make a call on the current call screen with the larger text it cuts off the left 4 or 5 characters of the callers name. I have a RK3066 unit with 800x480 resolution. For example if you called SMITH JOE it will show up as TH JOE when making a call.

Steve
[MTCB Software Development] robertut:
Yes I noticed that too, but unfortunately it cannot be fixed. That part of the text is not controlled by the layout.
[MTCB Software Development] robertut:
MTCBlueTooth3.apk updated

Here's an updated MTCBlueTooth3.apk. It has all the above + implemented 2safe4you's suggestion: contacts list and call history list displays each row sub-divided, instead of columns. A very good suggestion, as names and numbers will be displayed much better from now on.

[MTCB Software Development] robertut:
Look at the screenshot below. This should read "Roundcubéból Teszt" but all you see is "béból Teszt". The issue appears only when names are shown, dialing numbers are not affected.

I tried fixing by increasing the field width, but still, it does the same.

Another problem is in the popup window, if someone calls with a hidden number, it says "Unknow" instead of the correct "Unknown" English word. And this string is not in the translations list.

Perhaps it would be better if it would just read something like "[---]" which is language independent.

I looked into the smali files, but didn't find anything related to this, I could fix.
[MTCB Software Development] robertut:
Changelog for MTCBluetooth (the latest version above):

Hello Robertut,

i think the best is you start a new Thread: App Modding MTCBluetooth

Put your Screenshots and Changelog in it.

For the Future it is easyer to separate them.

Otherwise we have in 3 Months a second 1000 Pages Thread :D:D:D:D

If you do that,

bring also a small Changelog Numberingsystem with you.

Easyer to figure out what is new and on which Date...
