Interesting. I will look, thanks. (Navigon or Garmin dont work like that and thats what I own)
[MTCB Software Development] OneCheekyDevil:
Navigon and Gamin "units" don't update this way, but if you have the android version on a mobile or tablet (or even on a HU), updating maps is the same process - just copy the updated maps over the old. How do I know? I've tried every navigation app on my mobile to try and choose the best one for me. I think iGO is the most flexible one as it allows maps from other navigation apps to be used (like Tomtom maps in iGO).
[MTCB Software Development] TT_Vert:
For those who were also experiencing the issue w/ the rear speakers going quiet when you click the bluetooth button I now have confirmed it's a hardware issue. I have a joying HU and it does NOT do it but the Pumpkin I do does mute the rears when bluetooth button is pressed (Prior to even making a call, just entering the app). Tried the exact same firmware (ROM) on both devices. Both units will only play phone call audio on the front speakers which I assume is normal. For those pulling your hair out, it is not the Bluetooth apk that is the issue.

Yeah 1 and 2 are my big ones also. I find the second time I use google voice search it works but usually around the 3rd or 4th voice search it crashes again. I've tried numerous versions of google apps and velvet.apk and they all seem to crash. When you've got mismatched versions they will prompt you to update and we're back to square one.
[MTCB Software Development] TT_Vert:
I've got the MTCBlueTooth4.apk decomplied, now I wish I knew more than I do about programming, I know if I can find the coding that specifies this is always on top I could change it and recompile. I'm also going to look for the firstname/lastname display. Anyone more up on this care to help?
[MTCB Software Development] BullGawd:
How about being able to pair keyboards and game controllers? Is this even possible in these units via bluetooth?

Can someone tell me if you have the steering wheel setting at the settings menu and the version of the Malaysk's firmware because mine has disappeared!
[MTCB Software Development] dj.martzian:
Hello,

Yes, my Google app has the same version (5.10.32.19.arm). I have tried different versions from my previous link but with no luck. Still searching for a solution...

For now, I have another big problem. Two day ago, I have installed Sygic Navigation apk (version 16) and now the Weather app is displaying only "--" (please find the attached pictures).

When I saw the problem, I have removed Sygic, clear cache, clear Dalvik, factory reset, reinstall the ROM, Wipe All, install again the Wheater app but without luck.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.
[MTCB Software Development] orik13:
Firstly, a lot of thanks to Malaysk for the great firmware.

Secondly, it seems I have to join to the club of those who are fighting with MTCWeather. After upgrading to the latest ROM (Mar-17) for RK3066 @ 1024X600, I found that the weather service does not want to start as for many others here.

I tried different versions and found that the latest one which is not crashes is v1.3.6b; all newer versions do not work.

However, the 1.3.6b and its older mates seem to be using outdated Yahoo API, and so they can not retrieve the data and thus the app starts but can't display the weather.

Anyway, it's much better than seeing multiple errors when the unit starts, but it would be great to find a working version. Probably there is some incompatibility between newer apps and the latest ROM libraries.
[MTCB Software Development] fxslin:
Hi

I've updated to the latest Malaysk ROM (March 16, 2016, RK3066 800x480). Everything works fine, however after some random time (ie. 2-15 minutes). The screen suddenly locks up and displays only a yellow diamond with an exclamation mark in middle (see attached picture).

When the screen is "locked" no buttons or touch the screen is responsive at all. However if the radio (or any other audio app) is playing then it is still playing the sound, but the volume goes down a little bit.

Only way to get out of this locked "screen" is to change gear or just wait (after some random time it will unlock it self).

Anybody encountered this issue before? Any tips to what I should look into to resolve this issue?

(I've looked into the android log files, however I could not identify any clear reason to this issue.)

I'll try downgrade the Malaysk ROM today to the version I had before to see if the error is still there.

Thx!

On my first update from Feb to March firmware, the MTC Weather it works perfectly. BUT, after I installed Sygic the app starts and displays only "--".
[MTCB Software Development] Zorro12345654321:
Hi I just got this when I'm in the rear gear. This is because I and I think you also don't own a rear camera. To get rid of this you have to cut a wire. See on your radio which one. Should be mentioned something like rear.. If you've got this also in a normal gear you can also try to cut this wire.

Hi,

Thx for prompt answer.

However I realize I have given you folks to little information.

I have a backup cam which is working perfectly and I've runned my setup for almost a year with various Malaysk ROM with out any problems.

This issue started when I upgraded to the latest Malaysk ROM. However this could be a coincidence of course.

I actually belive it could be a HW issue, that did not manifest before now. However I have not done any changed to the system HW wise lately only upgraded the ROM.

The locked screen looks similar to when I start the Avin APP (front cam?).

Could it be a grounding issue or similar?

Thx!
[MTCB Software Development] orik13:
I think it's just timing. Yahoo API was changed recently on Mar-15.

I'm not sure this is the cause, It's just my guess.

https://developer.yahoo.com/weather/
[MTCB Software Development] dj.martzian:
I have read that topic. It make sense. So, the MTCWheater apk should be updated accordingly?

Maybe we should inform the developers guys:

The easiest solution for me was to install the app Bluetooth phonebook on my phone. That let's you set name order
[MTCB Software Development] TT_Vert:
I did try that. Did it change the name display in the actual bluetooth dialer program or do you use this new bluetooth phonebook to dial? Does it still show last name, first when you are on a call?

Dave
[MTCB Software Development] gk66:
It changed the order of the name on the standard Bluetooth contacts field of the head unit and displays calls received in the correct order. Is not used to dial, merely to send contact data to the head unit
[MTCB Software Development] TT_Vert:
Odd, I set it to Swap first/last name w/o luck. trying a reboot now. No dice, still won't switch them for me.

Can you do me a favor and go into the app and tell me what the state says?

Thanks

[MTCB Software Development] Mr Bigglesworth:
Good work on trying these. I have the same problem with frequent crashes. Frustrating as if it worked this would be such an awesome device. I'm on v 5.4.28.19 BTW. I also use phones hotspot for WiFi.

I don't really know anything about programming, but is it possible to run something to see what is causing the crash, is it some kind of conflict?
[MTCB Software Development] gk66:

[MTCB Software Development] TT_Vert:

Xposed MTC and Filter Integration No Longer Works

In the latest 3-9 release Xposed MTC no longer automically runs the service to launch filters darkner at sunrise and sunset. I ensured that xposed framework was installed and running which I believe it is. Interesting to note that when I upgraded without wipe data Xposed MTC was no longer installed. I needed to reinstall it. I know that if I reflash and wipe data it should work again but trying to avoid wiping data. Any tips?
[MTCB Software Development] thewesman:
XposedMTC does not work on the March release. The author of XposedMTC has received many requests already, but has not found the time to fix it yet. You'll have to sit tight, or flash back to the February release... your choice.
[MTCB Software Development] Cuba_Steve:
Great follow up! I'll have to stay on March's release. I am digging the improved INVERSE colored notification bar. Another item. I just incorporated SWAPPS and I am really happy. Turned it into a button like feature rather then a slide out kind of feature by adjusting width and height of the active spot. I finally have better app switcher support now since I can't get the one on the status bar to appear on any other screen outside of the home screen. Do you know if I am missing something to get that on other screens. Otherwise SWAPPS will work.
[MTCB Software Development] retarded1:
Quick question. Can I use a USB Bluetooth adapter for phone calls and to use tablet talk.
[MTCB Software Development] TT_Vert:
This can't be the case if it was updated on the 15th as the 3/9 ROM is doing the same thing for me. Strangely any ROM I put on now exhibits the same behavior. I'm doing a wipe in factory reset in recovery, is there something else I should be doing? Even flashed a stock ROM and I have the same issue. I find it odd that even after a factory reset I still have the same background//

From 5.7xxx to 5.11xxx Beta w/ no change, still crashes. Anyone care to help me w/ this freaking weather issue ?

It WAS working at some point, no idea why even after a flash i'm having issues.

Hello everyone, I'm buying this unit with Rk3188 processor and I'm going to install a custom ROM that is here. I saw that the file is "update.img" .I would know if you can install directly from Settings / extra / sistem update or you have to take a different strategy? If you want to make a backup Nand I need to install a custom recovery or system it is already equipped with an advanced recovery? I apologize but this step I have not figured it out yet.

you can do a system restore from units turned off? As you do with Android smartphones that have a TWRP or Clockworkmod recovery?
[MTCB Software Development] hans109h:
Typically you can use a combination of the physical reset and power buttons to boot into recovery. Each head unit is slightly different in how to accomplish that, but the instructions are in this post for most units if you search. Good luck.
[MTCB Software Development] bettuccio:
my units will have no physical buttons. I read that you just press the "Reset and" button and hold for a few seconds, so you can get into recovery mode. I hope you understand it. Now I just know this, then I'll do more research on the forum. Thank you very much.

Hallo everyone. I Just bought this unit: http://www.ebay.it/itm/271949418229?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

At the moment I have an S150 I802, but I am not satisfied due to radio reception, low audio quality, resistive screen etc.

I decidet fo this new unti principally beacuse I need the sleep feature, that should put in standby the unit when the ignition is turned off and avoid long boot times each time. I would like to know which is the best ROM and MCU that I should install, in order to have also the sleep function. Thank you for the moment, but I will surely come back with other questions as soon I will receive theunit (4-5 days).

Dear [MENTION=3590033]Malaysk[/MENTION],

Thank you for your great job, but I've just installed your update "800X480_RK3188_14_MAL_17_03_2016" and MTCWeather v_1.3.9 doen't update temperature and weather's icons only update location and date/time.

Can anyone help me? I really want solving the issue of weather app, because I don't like to see default values in the main window as well.

My device is EONON GA5165F and I've tried installing several times the rom.

Thanks in advance!!
[MTCB Software Development] TT_Vert:
Please read and search. A bit above you we've discussed this EXACT thing. It's a known issue, not resolved.
[MTCB Software Development] Breach:
It might be awhile if Malaysk doesn't change his mind. We may have to wait for another dev with an interest in these units to come along. :(

What a shame... us that benefit and donated paid the price for these SOB's cry f*cking babies.

What I find odd is that people are saying prior to the March firmware this wasn't an issue but I've tried older versions and still have the same issue.

Dave
[MTCB Software Development] Breach:
I think what was needed is a bug moderator. Malaysk could do what he was doing. People could post bugs and issues and the person or people who chose to be a bug moderator could update a specific post with known bugs/issues and their current status.

It would probably have been helpful to make a post that had a list of head units these roms are known to work on, and specifics for that unit, such as how to get into recovery, etc.

The more effort put into organizing all of the information, the less questions and PMs the Dev will get slammed with.

any luck with a better bluetooth apk to use for us? or maybe there is someone out here who can modify the bluetooth apk for us?

the google app issue seems one that we have to live with. i cant figure out what it is that is causing the app to crash. its driving me crazy trying to figure it out so i think im just gonna live with it to make things a little less stressfull for myself :P
[MTCB Software Development] gk66:
You have read everything haven't you? All the effort is already being done. The problem is some don't do the research first then blame the developer when something goes wrong usually because they didn't follow instructions or understand risks. And we are all beta testers. It's just that some of us know it and some don't.
[MTCB Software Development] Breach:
I have, indeed, read every single post in this thread. I did not see a list of each bug/issue/question written up as a simple FAQ with the issue/bug, what the status of that bug was. I have also not seen a list of head units, each with specific info on how to get into recovery, etc. I have seen some general info, which works for most. The more simplified the layout for people to get the info they need, the easier it will be for the dev to just do what devs do.

Most people get a few pages in, skip to the last couple pages and just ask a question. If you get all of the info in a nice neat format at the front of the thread there may be a few less questions. I know some people will still just ask the same questions, that is to be expected, but it will lessen the load.

But hell, that's just my opinion.

CPU-Z tells that it has an RK3066 with 1,42 GHz coreclock. Can you tell me what firmware fits.
[MTCB Software Development] OneCheekyDevil:
You'll need to find out the resolution of your screen. It's either 800x480 or 1024x600. Then select the 3066 ROM to suit your resolution.

Might also be wise to find out which manufacturer makes your HU in case you need to return back to stock. (kgl, kyd, etc)

Ok, I've now gotten the same audio problem on two different units, two differnt processors, two different manufacturers:

One Eonon dual core and one Joying quad core:

Audio will run fine until I turn off the car, when I turn it back on, it'll be silent. At some point it will just magically start up as if nothing was wrong. I've tried resoldering the wiring harness, so I don't think that it' a hardware issue. I tried uninstalling the XPosed stuff, but that did not help. I think I reverted the startup back to normal via the builder but that didn't work either. I was only using it for dimming.

Any help would really be appreciated. I'm using the latest MalaySK rom. Somebody else has to be having this issue.
