I have installed malasky rom. How can i return stock rom? Help pls.
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
The same way you installed Malaysk's ROM. Factory ROMs are on the fileserver in my signature.

Hi dsa8310,

do you have some plans for your 4.4 or 5.1 Roms ?

I mean a update or something like that :)

Your Roms are still the best at the moment....

Best regards
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
Thank you, but no, thank you! :)

The only improvement I made recently is in a few posts above. Only because I had to support both wireless and wired (via a 4G/LTE modem) networking. I could include it in a next firmware release, but replacing that /system/framework/services.jar file could be done easily by interested parties with a root explorer.

Does anyone know how to install google maps (Maps.apk from lollipop version not google play one) on my DSA's lollipop latest rom?

I tried:

copying maps folder to system app

installing this apk

but at the end I always get that there has been a mistake and that I have to reinstall.

Why I want this version? Because it's less ram friendly and also quicker and smaller app.

Thank you in advance.

[MENTION=6041319]dsa8310[/MENTION] I have a quick query if you'd be so kind.

I'm using what I think is the latest 4.4.4 ROM you released for the MTCB RK3188. I'm using the firmware tools to try to remove as much bloat as possible from the original unit (including all Google Play Services). However, it seems to break a few things and I wonder if you could answer one or two questions I have.

If I strip out all of the Google Play services (gmscore.apk etc) I seem to lose the auto-brightness functionality via install_recovery.sh. Does this script depend on the Google Location service or simply GPS data?

Once I've finished stripping apps out, I seem to lose root access (despite superuser.apk being present).

I've attached screenshots of what I've stripped out. Anything here I should definitely be keeping to maintain core functionality? I have resigned apk's of the Google Play apps that I use so I have no need for the Play store or any other Google apps.

Many thanks!

Nick
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
I am reading directly a certain /dev/ttyS3 for my GPS feed.

Make sure that script install-recovery.sh is not altered by your changes (it remains executable, mode 0755, owned by root).

---------- Post added at 06:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

Maps.zip is the maps folder you'd need. You don't have to install anything, after placing it in /system/app/. Whether I had erased something else related to it, I can no longer recall (I don't think so).
[MTCB Software Development] Johny DJ:
I tried this before but was changing permissions so I probably messed up something, now I just copied and reboot and it worked, thank you!
[MTCB Software Development] dontpannic:
Oh my God.

Thank you so much for pointing out the obvious! The RK3188 firmware tools I was using was resetting the permissions to 0644 on everything in /system. Manually changed the permissions on the unit itself via Root Browser and the script executed perfectly - brightness worked as did the early start of the mtcservice.

Thank you for the reply and the fix - you're a star.

Nice to see you still on here dsa8310
[MTCB Software Development] Alex57460:
Thank you very much but it does not work. Let me explain . A few months ago I installed a version that was not 100% adapted, you can see in the photo resolution :

http://hpics.li/4b40c49

I think I had installed in 1024 .. That's why I wanted to download a firmware in 800 .

But I have tried everything, put the UPDATE image in the micro SD card GPS, MTC Music + Update, but it does not work.

I tried all possible possibilities. but Image not found and failure , you can see

http://hpics.li/7240444

I really need help because I can not operate my car stereo at the maximum, I would like to remove all and installed a firmware adapted, original I had the Jelly bean 4.2.2 it was very good but I can not find it ..

I thank you in advance
[MTCB Software Development] Oldpapa49:
I can try to help, What make is the unit and if you recall, what version or date. GS, JY, KGL, KLD, RM. etc

You have a dual core unit.
[MTCB Software Development] Alex57460:
Thanks for the help friend . It's autoradio brands RUPSE Which I bought almost 3 years ago , Jelly Bean 4.2.2 i think .

It is the most recent product but it is more https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B00P2FMA7Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
[MTCB Software Development] Oldpapa49:
by those images it can be a JY.
[MTCB Software Development] Alex57460:
Ok i download and i test ( JY_4.4.4_800x480_150415_root ) .. But is my step correct? You have to paste the image in the micro SD, and insert the GPS location , Then in the menu as in the picture choose Update ??

Good?
[MTCB Software Development] Oldpapa49:
Yes, the filename is update.ing and it goes into the root directory of the microSD card. Not in any folders.

Also I think you might have a RK3066 device and not a RK3188 device.. Dual Core vs Quad Core.

I wish you went into the "about device" and recorded all the info and into Factory Setup and recorded that info.

That the very 1st steps before you do anything...
[MTCB Software Development] Alex57460:
Thank you very much, it has been months since I was blocked, I succeed and everything works, the resolution is well suited is top. Just a little problem, it asks me to update but it does not work, there is loading with the icon of the character ANDROID with Chinese writing, but it is not done .. And I send you the data Of the device ..

[MTCB Software Development] Oldpapa49:
Is this your original info?
[MTCB Software Development] Alex57460:
To better explain, a few minutes later I receive this type of message :

https://www.noelshack.com/2017-13-1490836821-img-4963.jpg

I choose Intall, and this gives me this :

https://www.noelshack.com/2017-13-1490836821-img-4961.jpg

But after a few seconds, there are errors and nothing changes ..

Should I download a more recent file?

Thanks
[MTCB Software Development] Oldpapa49:
Alex, You have a RK3066 not a RK3188 I do not think [MENTION=6041319]dsa8310[/MENTION] will work with 3066's. You need to find this out from him.

Since its a 3066, you need 3066 image at 800x480 and either 4.2.2 or maybe 4.4.4 will work.
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
Yes, 4.4.4 will work, [MENTION=6041319]dsa8310[/MENTION]'s earlier images are all on the fileserver.

[MTCB Software Development] llaugerm:
Can you please point me in the direction of that ROM? You don't like Malaysk's ROM, Why?
[MTCB Software Development] tariqkhan.co.uk:
Lucky for you, I had only just updated my system to the latest DSA's Rom so know its here at post #219.

I like Malaysk's Rom and was using it before I found DSA.

I prefer a minimalistic system and DSA's is just that. It's not as flashy as Malaysks, but it is far more lightweight and so when I add all the apps I need to it; I don't have to worry about resources.
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
Yes, [MENTION=6041319]dsa8310[/MENTION]'s is the factory ROM plus some useful mods, its not full on custom like [MENTION=3590033]Malaysk[/MENTION]'s.

Theres are numerous guides on here. Put unzipped update on sdcard, put in gps slot, go to settings update and it will update.
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
It's the usual procedure: unrar the 1024x600 files (starting with first part, both being in same folder), obtain file update.img, put it onto the GPS (first) SD card, and get into recovery menu (quickest by keeping the volume button, if available, depressed). Or wait until the firmware file (update.img) presence is automatically detected. Finally, immediately, if possible, after first boot is starting (don't wait for the full sequence), get again into recovery and select that menu entry which formats the storage partitions thoroughly since the new image is differently partitioned. Then reboot and get ready to reinstall all your apps, etc.
[MTCB Software Development] llaugerm:

Screen Saver and Buttons Not lighting up

My Screen Saver comes on, but it's completely blank. I only get the date and nothing else. The same thing with the home screen I don't get the MPH right next to the weather that reads 000. I have been searching settings and anything I can find it. The same time with my buttons on the radio they're off all the time. The used to be on with the original ROM. I haven't change the wiring or anything. I'm trying to figure all these out. I can use some help from any of you guys here. Lol
[MTCB Software Development] llaugerm:
I'm trying to find when I can turn on the lights for the buttons on the head unit. I have been looking everywhere including factory settings. When I did the Malaysk update I updated everything including the MCU. Something is probably not right when I flashed it.
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
You can have them permanently on or off in factory settings or you can have them come with the lights, but you have to have a CAN Bus box for that.
[MTCB Software Development] llaugerm:
They were working fine before the update to the ROM. With the Factory ROM I get the "Element Menu" in settings to change color and things like that.
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
Yes, you have to enable it in factory settings.
[MTCB Software Development] llaugerm:
I have enabled them in factory settings. No Luck. I'm loving the latest ROM from Malaysk I don't want to change it because of that. Also the BT in Calls really bad. I'm think about replacing my head unit for this one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/112295521579?ul_noapp=true

Because of the BT issue. I don't want to open my head unit to do the hardware mod.
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
You have to reboot about 5 times before the Element app will appear.

If youre gonna get a new unit it would be better to get an octacore MTCD one.
[MTCB Software Development] llaugerm:
I'm think to change it. I'm considering something better than what I have now. The MCTD Octacore. I would need to do a search for one of this unit.

Pretty much any octacore unit on ebay will be an MTCD one.
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
Here is an additional trick: since TomTom GO cannot use, for map downloading, Ethernet - only WiFi, and support for type mobile seems not implemented through, I have added another Xposed module/method in a new mtcservice, version 2.37 (ain't no 2.36 version), that tells to all that the Ethernet network is of TYPE_WIFI.

Consequently TT GO, and maybe other "exacting" apps, would be able to use both Ethernet and real WiFi seamlessly.

Just upgrade to this mtcservice-2.38.apk.

(xposed description updated)

Perhaps any other type of network, different from WiFi (not only Ethernet), should be advertised as WiFi as well, but for now, this modification suits me well.

(because I have an unlimited data plan?! :) )

BTW, the new mtcservice could also be used with a local wired network and just an USB Ethernet adapter. To speed up downloading of a (TT) continental map when WiFi is slower (and known to be unstable - at least on my unit?).
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
MicroG Enabled Images

Links have been moved to post #354, because another upgrade.

For convenience, the microG enabled, 800x480 image:

mxupdateKLD800x480LP5.1.1.rk3188.MTCB-C.December.part2.rar

mxupdateKLD800x480LP5.1.1.rk3188.MTCB-C.December.part1.rar

I had to decrease the DPI value (in file /system/build.prop, line ro.sf.lcd_density=210) to barely make room for the Market app authentication dialog (the button is accessible at the very bottom of the screen). The YalpStore needs further decreasing to show the OK/Cancel buttons, but selecting the Yalp generated credentials instead is sufficient.

It's a differently partitioned image (less for system.img, more for oem.img, in order to accommodate the microG stuff).

And the 1024x600 image:

mxupdateKLD1024x600LP5.1.1.rk3188.MTCB-C.December.part2.rar

mxupdateKLD1024x600LP5.1.1.rk3188.MTCB-C.December.part1.rar

I kept same DPI (210) though it might not be required for screens with more real estate.

===

I find these images acceptable, albeit retries (for authentication?) are sometimes necessary for BlankStore and YalpStore (also included), to work fully.

I had to copy the Poweramp unlocking app from my phone to the HU, it was my only Google Play Store paid app. Anyway, all microG apps could be removed/replaced because they are not in the system partition (they are installed from oem).

BTW, Hangouts, as detailed elsewhere, will work if its NetworkConnectionCheckingService is disabled.

(# pm disable com.google.android.talk/com.google.android.apps.hangouts.service.NetworkCo nnectionCheckingService)

How to configure microG is explained in its thread: https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-microg-gmscore-floss-play-services-t3217616 .

Getting the BlankStore required AndroidID is detailed here: https://github.com/nviennot/android-checkin

(a less secure apps configuration is also necessary for the java command to work)

TomTom GO also works provided that Phonesky.apk - the original Google Play Store, included in oem - is used to temporarily replace the Market (BlankStore) app, at least while initial start-up, and during map & voice downloading/upgrades. It might be required for TT Traffic, too, if you put up with a few repeated error messages...

I m getting this weird problem with one of my units, anyone got any suggestions ?

I flashed new firmware and it wont boot, it stays on the boot logo (with the animation going), I ve tried 10 times (wiping dalvik/cache multiple times after flashing), I ve tried putting it n both my units and lots of different ROMs but it just will not boot.

It will go into recovery and I can flash stuff "successfully" but it wont boot.

Once I left it for 2 hours and it was still on the animated Android boot logo, another time after leaving it for an hour it had turned off.

On the 7th time it did eventually get to the "optimising apps" screen, but as soon as it got there it said "shutting down".

Its on the bench, powered by a car battery (also connected to a charger), the only time I ve ever seen a unit shut down straight after it boots is when the car battery is very low, so I thought it might be low voltage on the battery, I changed the battery but no difference.

Never had this before, very strange.
