So you are saying you can be playing something (like Pandora) and switch to Bluetooth (which has the bluetooth streaming) and Pandora would still work on all speakers? I have Feb build and mine mutes all but 1 speaker until I switch to BT Audio where you can stream bluetooth from your phone and hear it on all speakers. It does mute any other audio source on all speakers when you select BT audio...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but that's how mine works...

I'm the one confused now...

[ROM][RK3066/RK3188][SD/HD] Malaysk ROMs for any yet known MTCB-Device

Oke let me be clear

On THE previous (I think October) build I could be playing music via Spotify on the HU itself. Then when I opened Bluetooth app music would still be playing. When I selected a Phone number on the screen music would still be playing. Then when I pressed dial the music would stop and the call would be made.

NOW on the new build ( released March 17 I think) when I play music via Spotify on the HU itself and open the Bluetooth app my music stops playing immediately. (So before actually making a call).

I rather have it like it was before so I can listen to some music a little longer before making a call.

Hope it's clear for everyone what I mean now [emoji16]

Btw: your music muting on all speaker but one is just strange[emoji85]

The speaker that bluetooth uses when making phone calls is the only one I hear (or maybe it lowers the volume and I am just used to my old BT on stock radio which only worked on the left of the car... ill post what it does when I leave from work and im in my truck.
[MTCB Software Development] TT_Vert:
OK so this is actually a function of the ROM itself it appears? I was wrong, it is both front speaker that work. So when I hit the Bluetooth app button the front two speakers stay on, the rear two go off until I back out of the Bluetooth app. When i initiate a call, everything mutes as it should. So I guess what I'd like to do is find out how to continue to use all 4 speakers in the Bluetooth app UNTIL I actually initiate a phone call. I also would like audio in the Bluetooth app up until the point i initiate a call. Perhaps we could pull the Bluetooth app out of the old version if its; an apk? I'm not too up on development so I really don't know how it works.

BTW, have you found a way to navigate around in the OS while on an incoming call? I found if I initiated the call I can pull the dropdown down, hit settings and then home to navigate the OS whlie I'm on a phone call. There have been occasions I've been on a call and had to change my destination in Waze and it seems impossible to do w/ this setup but I've not played w/ it much (Still on the bench)

Thanks

Dave

It also appears that phone calls come through ONLY on the two front speakers, that may or may not be normal in all cars, I never have paid attention.
[MTCB Software Development] NelinhoMarinus:
now you mention it, i did replace the bluetooth apk file with a themed bluetooth apk one (red theme). maybe there is a difference in behavior too but im not sure. it is possible to experiment with this but im not in the mood to do that right now. im verry pleased with how i have set everything up so im not taking the risk to have to install everyrhing all over again.
[MTCB Software Development] Brendo:
I was using mightytext (3g as it is syncs via internet), but then switched to autoremote (tasker) and just get phone to forward through messages as they are received

---------- Post added at 08:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 AM ----------

When you switch to the Bluetooth app, everything is meant to mute as it now sound switches to Bluetooth audio (ie any sound coming from phone). Mute during call is handled separately and overwrites all sound
[MTCB Software Development] NelinhoMarinus:
Like i said, on the firmware i had installed previously the sound wasnt muted when i switched to the bluetooth app. On this firmware it is. I understand the logic of it. I just liked it better when the sound only gets muted when i actually make a call. And not when i only open the bluetooth app.
[MTCB Software Development] TT_Vert:
I kinda, sorta came up with a work around but I still would like to find a way to unlock the screen while on a call. So what I did it this.

1. Installed Dialer one

2. Activated Headunit 2.15 and in advanced settings enabled calls from android

3. Instal True contacts

4. When dialing a name in dialer one press on it and it'll open the contact in true contact. Press the number and default the call action to bluetooth.

Now i can search contacts via T9 and also it will not switch to the front two speakers until the phone is dialing as it isn't initiating the Bluetooth app until the dial procedure.

I would like to find a way to press on the contact and have it just dial within dialer one but it appears true contacts is the conduit between dialer one and the bluetooth app.

Now If someone can help me unlock the head unit while on a call lunch is on me!!
[MTCB Software Development] NelinhoMarinus:
This sounds great to me. Because I think the way you have set it up right now it is possible to make phone call through voice control. Can you check for me if that works please?

Even then I have to make a choice because don't think I can activate head unit 2.15 because I have installed "car service" apk to control Spotify with steering wheel control. It's my believe these two don't work together.

So went ahead and installed "dialer one" and "true contacts" like u said. Works fine. way better interface and looks much better in my opinion. Turns out i can activate "head unit" (app) just fine and it works together with "car service" app. just have to disable media control buttons option in "head unit" app.

Now on to the next step. getting it to work to make call using voice control via google now.

that would be AWESOME!!!

[MTCB Software Development] TT_Vert:
I still have it on my bench and it's currently in pieces so I cannot. I don't see why it wouldn't though as google voice search works and if you default contacts are dialer one you should be golden.

Gonna keep pressing this one, is there some priority setting or always on top type setting in the android OSes that are keeping the bluetooth app atop everything during a call? I do have the ability to get out of it when i make the call by going to settings so I know it is possible and it does not actually effect the call connection so maybe we can work together to resolve this.

Do you recall the previous FW you had? Maybe we can extract the BT apk.

Dave
[MTCB Software Development] NelinhoMarinus:
Sorry i do not recall the previous FW i had installed :(

I dont really know what it is you want. when you are making a call via bluetooth on your HU, you are not able to go to the homescreen of you headunit? Maybe im not able to do so either. havent really been paying attention to that. But it would be nice to be able to do that.

At this moment i actually have the bluetooth app disabled. i never use bluetooth music streaming since i have an android based HU. So i can play music on my head unit instead of on my phone. the calls via bluetooth still work so thats nice. I then just see an overlay with the number i'm calling and the green en red phone buttons.
[MTCB Software Development] TT_Vert:
So you have bluetooth disabled on your HU, how do you initiate a call? I'm wondering what version of the ROM You had so I could look at that bluetooth apk to see if it would allow me to open it w/o killing the rear two speakers.

Dave
[MTCB Software Development] NelinhoMarinus:
yeah i wish i could remember the FW is had installed but i reallt dont remember.

i initiate a call just like you said. select the phone number in true contact and it wil call that number. that still works even though i disabled the bluetooth app.

Im off te sleep now (03:53 here in Amsterdam)

tommorow i want to check into that voice dailing thing. see if i can get that to work. And also check if it's possible to remap one of my steering wheel buttons to activate voice control (google now voice search).

if im able to set it up like that i am set for life :laugh::cool::D

cheers !
[MTCB Software Development] TT_Vert:
I may freeze that BT app and see what happens.

Dude, ingenious! I just froze Bluetooth 1.0 and initiated a call and I can now use the HU while on the phone. Way to unknowinly turn into a superstar! The only problem is I can not find a way to hang up a call now LOL. I suppose I could pick up the phone and hang up, oh the horror. But anyway now we know we don't "need" it, I wonder If I get a call if I can answer. Will report back.

Thanks

Dave
[MTCB Software Development] marty_s13:
Unfortunately this didn't work for me :(

EDIT: it seems other galaxy s5 users are having the same problem. Its probably something to do with the way the ROMs have been made to help with Bluetooth stuttering on those devices with CM13
[MTCB Software Development] TT_Vert:
Another question for those using Next launcher. How can I get rid of this icon in the status bar (See pic)? I've got into all the settings EVERYWHERE and I cannot seem to find it. It's getting cluttered up there and all that icon does is take you to the Next settings which i can swipe up to get to just as easily. I've removed the reboot and sleep icons up there the other ones I are fairly small and useful so they can stay.

Also, has anyone had luck getting rid of the pull down quick settings? Another area where it gets full quick and with pandora open I have no space there, i have to scroll quite a bit to see my notifications. I looked at xposed modules but didn't find one that suits my needs. I am playing w/ GravityBox but I'm trying to be careful with it as I don't know how it'll play with this ROM.

Thanks

Malaysk first of all a big thanks for all your hard work to bring us the best rom for our HU. I hope you won't give up so easily for a couple of stupids that don't care about someone's free work and time and they better blame their selves for not reading all the precautions before they do an upgrade to their headunits.

Anyway I would like to know what was the last version of your build that had the steering wheel remapping menu in the settings menu because I didn't find that at the latest build.

Again thanks a lot for everything even if you will stop supporting our Hu.

Quick question about the titanium backup. I had made a full backup of all apps and system data before I upgraded the firmware to the March build. However after a successful install, I tried to use titanium backup to restore my apps, like YouTube etc, but I could not find where to do it. Plz assist...

open titanium backup and go to backup/restore tab. Anything with a line through it is not installed. Click on it and then click restore.

I fallow that thread and I managed to successfully set Voice Dialing on my unit. But, as you said the annoying message "Mobile network not available" is displayed when the call is made. There is a fix for it?

Also, I have some problems with Google App. It crashes sometimes: "Unfortunately, Google App has stopped." I have done almost everything: Clear Data, Clear Cache, Clear Dalvik, but with no luck. Any suggestions?

Yes me too, my Google app wasnt updated so I thought maybe that would solve the problem. But no!

Having the same problem with Google app crashing 1 out of 3 times. And that annoying message is stil there. Tried to disable some mobile system apps in settings but then I was not able to make a call at all so no solution found yet by me.

Or not. There's a reason he quit development, and it's because of people complaining about issues with his freely offered work, and expecting him to fix it, as you seem to be doing here.

Unless you mean that you've found and fully tested a fix, and you're going to tell him exactly how the issue can be fixed so he can add that to the next version of firmware. Too late for that.

You just need to flash the firmware (ROM). Put the downloaded system.img from Malaysk in the root of your SD Card, boot to recovery and flash.

As will I. Is google app the file that is crashing for you? What version are you on (Check titanium backup)

It seems I'm running google apps 5.10.32.19.arm (Look in titanium backup) and it crashes, what are you guys running? You are linking to google voice which is for google voice mail. It appears that google app is what is crashing.

Just an FYI, it seems velvet.apk may be google now, I'm still playing w/ it. I uninstalled this in titanium backup (Google now) So I put on velvet 3.07 and it is a voice search but you cannot use ok google. It does not crash. When I try to install google app it updates velvet.apk as well then I start getting the crashing. I want to see if I can use this voice search and have it listed for a hotword rather than using google now which crashes

Reverting from google apps 5.1.32.19 to 4.1.21.1657903 makes no difference. Also went ahead and tried 5.7.14.19.arm which did nothing.

[MTCB Software Development] bsavoir22:
I have a note 4 (T-MOBILE) I can still be in a call and use data simultaneously just tried to make sure. I used to have Sprint and it is due to the network type CDMA which only allows one or the other a GSM (SIM card) doesn't have that issue.

I know that only one app can access the mic at a time. So if you try to use Google app right after a call or back to back for voice search or whatever It might cause it to have that issue. The Bluetooth app needs the mic to make calls and Google app (Google now) also needs it to.
[MTCB Software Development] NelinhoMarinus:

As will I. Is google app the file that is crashing for you? What version are you on (Check titanium backup)

It was the Google app that was crashing yes.

Af this moment i uninstalled the google app. I tried 2 different versions but still got the error message so right now I'm not using the voice dialing method to make calls.

Just got home from work and will check out if I can thinks of a solution.

BTW I also would like a different Bluetooth app. Like you said. Listing people's names with first name and last name would be better. (And also the issue for me that it mutes music to early in de process of calling someone)

At this moment I use true contacts to search for people and then tap on the phone number. It then makes the call via Bluetooth app.

Don't know where to search for Bluetooth app replacements (except the themed ones but they would make no difference I think)

could any on eof you help me out how to upgrade to march ROM(just upgrade so that I do not lose my apps and data of current ROM)

there are 3 things i want to do right now....

1. replace the bluetooth app with another one that allows me to leave the screen and do other stuff on my head unit when making a call.

2. fix error of google app stopped working. by replacing the google app or something with one that works better.

3. remap steering wheel keys with MTC-KEYS. (took a look at a thread on how to do that but didnt get it to work)

Updating the maps is as simple as copying the new map files over to your SD Card overwriting the old map files.

A simple google search will find you the up to date maps you desire. There are even websites that let you download alternate car icons for on screen navigation ;)
