I found a solution for me, i never use the bluetooth stream feature as the quality is horrible, so i disabled it:

go to your phone, under bluetooth section you can click on the connection to the deck, now disable music streaming (or similar). This will fix the issue but keep calls and so on working, you just wont be able to stream music form the phone.

---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:35 PM ----------

I tried it for a while with no luck, i have a feeling the intents are not working properly or there was a security issue with sending them, it was a pain in the ass to figure it out so i gave up and used trigger.

I have a trigger on phone to create hotspot when it detects connection to car bt, and on the deck a trigger to run the service when it connetcs to my phone's wifi.

----

I could be very wrong, but i believe you need root privileges to make the call to start a service using intent. If you try it manually form console

> -am service, without elevated privileges you get an error.
[MTCB Software Development] carbonad:
Funny you say that. I just finished setting up trigger and it seems to work fine starting and stopping the service

I'm also trying to have it turn my Hotspot on but that's not working, most likely due to Verizon lock down. Can't win them all I guess.
[MTCB Software Development] noctrin:
Hmm, if you can create it manually from the phone you should be able to using trigger (i think trigger might need root privileges on some phones/roms to do this though), otherwise, if you root the phone I remember there being quite a few ways to bypass carrier lock on tethering using either xposed framework or custom roms. Never had to do it myself.
[MTCB Software Development] carbonad:
I believe Hotspot control requires root on my phone ( Verizon Note 4 ) and there is still no known way to root it as far as I know.
[MTCB Software Development] KeiserSozeyFr:
Add a new Task, give a name for it.

Add an action, select action "Send intent" (type "intent" on Filter field to find it easily)

On "Action" Field, type "com.keisersozey.carservice.swc_music_action.START_SERVICE"

Hi, this app was working absolutely fine until last week. The issue I'm having now is it somehow turned off Spotify control, and when I try to flip the switch to ON it doesn't allow me to. I tried changing the other settings as well to on and off and they all seem to be stuck now as well. Any thoughts?
[MTCB Software Development] KeiserSozeyFr:
Added in my Todo list !
[MTCB Software Development] KeiserSozeyFr:
Never eard about this bug.

Maybe try to go to Android settings in application menu and clear all datas for CarService.
[MTCB Software Development] ftsur:
Hi There. Thanks for your awesome work!! The pause on mute feature is something I can't live without. Sadly, I've upgraded my unit to Malaysk's latest ROM and I can't get it to work no matter what I try. I've disable Headunit service as well as MTCService in-case these two programs could cause a conflict. I use PowerAmp as my media player. I had no problems in the past. Anyone else having issues?
[MTCB Software Development] NYCAR:
I just purchased my new head unit and installed Malaysk's ROM.

My SWC do not do a thing with PowerAmp, despite all my efforts.

I have set up PowerAmp as the default player through Xposed and MyMusic starts it just fine.

As far as SWCs go;

1) Volume works. But that is a head unit thing, not a PowerAmp thing

2) Previous/Next song do not work (But I do get a message on the screen that I pressed previous/next)

3) Mode/Source does NOT ever go to PowerAmp.

Is there something else I need to do, or do the latest head units have some different programming and I need to hope Malaysk puts out a new ROM?

Thanks,
[MTCB Software Development] eggsterino:
You are an angle!!

Do you have an approximation for release date?
[MTCB Software Development] ftsur:
I'm getting the same behavior. I see the toast messages appear saying it's changing tracks, pausing, etc but PowerAmp doesn't do anything.
[MTCB Software Development] talalalal:
Great app. Thanks!

A few problems for me though. I'm running it on a CarJoying Headunit, RK3188 1024*600 with latest Malaysk Rom:

1. On latest versions (tried 2.12, 2.13) clearing the log crashes the app. Can't log hardware button codes as a result.

2. On old version (1.3) I am able to clear the log and check button codes. However, the Home and Back hardware buttons both register the same button code.

Any ideas on how to fix this please?

Phone calls:

- Make a call or answer from a standard dialer app (tested with ExDialer) or from vocal command with Google voice

Does this mean that i can call with the dialer in the app automate? I think they using the standard google dialer.

- If you're fed up with the bad quality of the head unit Bluetooth, use an external Bluetooth handset or built-in car Bluetooth system by connecting its audio output to the head unit audio input. CarService will manage to switch-on audio input when making or receiving call. Using this method, it will be possible to stream music from Phone by switching-on audio-input with a widget button.

Is it possible to connect a in car build Bluetooth (by bluetooth not by cable) to the Hui and use it to make calls?

When can we expect you newest piece of art?

PhoneStatus not showing reception bars

PhoneRemoteStatus is a great app and it's Just what I was looking. There are a couple of things I need to sort out though. I'm using a note 4 with an Eonon android deck with RK3188 chip. First I can't get the phone's reception bars to show ( they appeared once but never again), the battery level and 4G shows just fine. Second, is there a way to stop car service from hitting play on my music player every time after bootup or can I just run RemotePhoneStatus on its own? I don't use SWC. Thank you for the great work so far.

Phone call

Hello, I have a question. I tried to do a phone call with Google voice (on car radio), but I obtained this error message: "cellular network not available". I tried to also use ExDialer but I obtained the same error.

I have to install something or enable an option on "car service"?

Thank you in advance.

This app is great. Once your finished with your audio addons it would be great to see you take the same level of control to the modeswitch button!

Hi Guys,

I got a little problem

It works fine with Spotify. But when i play music with PowerAmp and press "NEXT" or "PREVIOUS" (on steering wheel) PowerAmp stops playing music and Spotify starts playing music. So Basically i can only use it with Spotify and not with PowerAmp.

Don't know what the problem is. I would like to fix this if possible.

Cheers !!!

[MTCB Software Development] carbonad:
So this never happened to me previously using a Note 4 but now that I have a Galaxy S7 I can't seem to get Spotify controls to work. Even with disabling Bluetooth audio on my phone. The seek SWC buttons seem be trying to use bluetooth. If I go back to the home screen I can see the weather widget temporarily change to a bluetooth widget and then back to weather.
[MTCB Software Development] KeiserSozeyFr:
This feature is not available yet, it will be implemented in the future reworked version
[MTCB Software Development] KeiserSozeyFr:

Google Music Play

Hello and thanks for your app; I have been using it with Spotify and it works very well; however, I am considering changing to Google Music as my music streaming service (because of owned mp3 files) and I can't get the player to work with SWC.

Am I missing something, or do we just have to wait for the upcoming version?

I am using a stock ROM (no root), with Xposed MTC setting Google Music as default music player, with the setting "SWC keys control spotify" disabled; because my ROM is not rooted I am not sure if the Xposed MTC is actually doing anything... do I have to root my system to be able to change the setting in Xposed, so then I can use SWC keys with Google Music?

Looking forward for the future updates, thanks.
[MTCB Software Development] josemariadiezespana:
I've tried to use with poweramp and i see the screen messages of next or previous buttons as if it's well configured but the player doesn´t anything. I cannot change songs. Please help me!!!

Thanks a lot for that great app. I want to donate if i resolved the problem
[MTCB Software Development] NelinhoMarinus:
Hey guys. quick qeustoin...

everything works fine. But it takes about a minute for SWC to activate after booting on the head unit. by then im allready listening to music and it would be nice to be able to switch tracks from the start (without waiting for SWC to boot)

so is there any way to make SWC boot up quicker ???

cheers
[MTCB Software Development] InfiniteReality:
Thanks for this, worked perfectly for my Joying RK3188. All my steering wheel controls work now plus it's autoplays on boot! Donation sent your way for your hard work!
[MTCB Software Development] staticx1:

Hi, I'm working on a music player for my headunit. I already wrote it some years ago for my UMPC with Windows. Noe I finally successfully ported it to Android. You can check the player here.

I would like to control from my steering wheel. It works fine using CarService and Poweramp. I can see the push notifications when i press the buttons. But it doesn't work with my application. I implemented catching of media buttons. Then I tried that with my phone and BT headphones and it works. I'm also logging all keys that my application catches. But it doesn't receive anything. Do you have any idea what might be the problem?

The next step then would be to catch the keys even if the player is in background. Is there a direct support from CarService needed to allow this? Thanks a lot.
[MTCB Software Development] staticx1:
I saw that I can edit them, but how do I know what to input?
[MTCB Software Development] TT_Vert:
You need to map the keys. To get key info you need to install the mtc-key xposed module and reboot. Then cat | grep mtc-keys and then press buttons/watch the ouput in terminal
[MTCB Software Development] der_marv:
The same "problem" here and also the shuting down of the service when HU goes to standby.
[MTCB Software Development] SharpSA:
Yes, it is the problem only. I did not found solution for automaticaly service runing from standby mode.
[MTCB Software Development] jakejm79:
Could you just not use tasker to run the carservice app whenever you launch 3rd party media player, you shouldn't need the the 3rd party steering wheel controls any other time.
[MTCB Software Development] SharpSA:
When will this function ready? "Restart service when leaving sleep mode"

I will pay for it because it is very missing only at this time.

I tried with Tasker but after sleep mode Tasker not working too as Carservice... :D

Make phone calls from standard dialer app is interested too. It is good idea. :)

Google Music control doesn't work

I'm trying to use the app with Google music but it doesn't work.

Google Music is the default music player in Xposed MTC, and "SWC keys control spotify" is disabled.

Thanks to Xposed MTC I can control the Google music player (next/previous songs, mute) no matter if the car service is enabled or not, however enabling the car service doesn't do anything (e.g., mute doesn't pause, double next doesn't pause, etc.).

I also rerouted (through the car service) one of the built in radio buttons to pause music instead of searching stations - and the button is still searching for stations (even though the car service detects the clicks). I have MTC keys installed and enabled.

Screenshot of my system details are enclosed (in short - rk3188, rooted masalyk 4.4.4, kld 2.79)

Thanks!

Hi KeyserSozeFr,

I was looking back at some of the thinks you were thinking of implementing and was wondering if you still had plans to do this.

The SWC/Tasker script sounds interesting.

And I was also wondering about if you could get the SWC to work inside a dialler or the default bluetooth dialler? Is that something which can be done in a similar way to the music players, or is it a very different task?

Sorry, if these questions are a but dumb - trying to learn more and also trying to learn alot more about Tasker!

[MTCB Software Development] Johny DJ:
So you just changed preferred music app in Xposed MTC settings and you can control next and previous song in Google Music app?

I also tried with MTC-Keys to map media buttons but then cannot change MTC radio etc. apps...
[MTCB Software Development] mrmrmrmr:
Hi,

I tried this today. My intention was to control Spotify.

It worked somehow but I have issues:

First, if I don't start the original music app and start controlling it through my Steering Wheel controls , Car Service does not get any key presses. (Nothing in log)

Car service only shows key presses if I run the original music app and then select AUDIO from my steering wheel menu. IF I don't run original music app Steering wheel does not show AUDIO menu.

My Car is a 2009 model VW.

Would it be possible to emulate original music app and show AUDIO menu on steering wheel controls through Car Service ? (even if I don't use original Music App)

After the initial ceremony, if I get out of original music app and run Spotify, then Car Service enables controlling Spotify through Steering Wheel (AUDIO does not display on Steering Wheel display but controls work)

Would it be also possible to send Spotify information to the steering wheel display like the original music app ?
[MTCB Software Development] jubbarelly:
How do you programme the SWC to the app?? When I press the buttons on the SWC nothing happens in the app.

The SWC works on the stereo fine.

Also pressing the buttons on the stereo doesnt do anything, so how do you get the codes so you can put them in the button key codes area in the app?

Im trying to get it so Spotify can be controlled with the SWC buttons.

Thanks

Try "RK3066 HeadUnit" app in the play store. I have the RK3188 unit and it work great. I just had to disable the stock music apps in order to use Spotify as default. Now I just need to find out how to pause Spotify on standby.

I have a Joying RK3188 stereo (KIT KAT 4.4)in a Wrangler, there are 2 apps in the play store. One is labeled "RK3188 HeadUnit" that does not work at all. Use the app labeled "RK3066 HeadUnit"

When I installed it, it played my default music player first, even after I selected Spotify to be the default. So I disabled the stock music player and now it works great. I also de-selected PowerAmp and the other that says ROOT required(inside the app options) But if I want to listen to bluetooth or cd music, Ill need to enable the stock. I haven't tried it yet but I really only listen to Spotify. I've been using it for 2 days now with no problems. Starts right up after stand by and on boot. It also starts Spotify at start.
[MTCB Software Development] jubbarelly:

Hello Men

Really good job, its works nice, but i just see one improvement to your app, im speaking about not showing a constant notification on notification bar about the service....

¿Could be possible?

Its also happen with phoneservice, it is showing %battery and network signal as a notification, occupying space...

If you recieve and email or another notification you should scroll and its annoying, i think service could run in a "silence mode" releasing space

PD: For sure i will invite you a beer ;)
