WARNING! (this has to be said) - there are settings in the registry that can lower the priority of very important Sync services, which probably shouldn't be changed, but I did anyway since this unit is not in my car and it doesn't matter what happens - this may not be the case for everyone - so "don't do this at home people!"..

HKLM\Software\Ford\DataManager\cfg...

HKLM\Software\Ford\DataManager\gns...

Changing the 3 priority settings to 255 (the lowest priority) and running my latest VNC which changes its priority to the highest allowed for a "normal" app does produce much smoother full-screen playback on the Sync 2 unit which is not interrupted by regular spikes of CPU usage.

BUT YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Edit: For an example of the config .txt file for VNCCE, see this post: https://xdaforums.com/t/myford-touc...on-rear-view-camera-etc.3321397/post-86898515
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tigerpro357:
That is interesting, why would Ford make something that, if I had to guess, no body uses have such a high priority? I could see if it were like BT or a button listener for button actions, but the speech doesn't make sense to me. On your bench unit, is it possible to run something besides WinCE or does that require ripping the unit apart and fancy connections to pins? I'm wondering if getting AGL (Automotive Grade Linux) running would be something worth trying.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JasonACT:
Who can say :) But one of these priorities also feeds the watch dog - but the dog isn't that hungry really, if it were, then the unit would reboot within minutes of starting a video on the VNC server - which it doesn't. In other testing, it does reboot when the dog isn't fed at all. That might explain the high priority on one or more tasks.

If I could load up QNX from my car's unit and have the very specialised CAN messages flow through, it would be good - but I know that's a bridge too far. I.E. If you put linux on this unit, you will then need to implement everything the original unit does, otherwise miss out on functions.

For the Aussie Ford FG/2/X Falcon - there are Chinese headunits that do that. And they mostly flattened the battery, if you didn't drive the car every day. All brute force, and no finesse.

But hey, I can play cards now - and watch videos - on the bench... So I think I'm done here.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tigerpro357:
Lol. Fair enough, but I still feel like we're just getting to the top of the ice burg, granted I could be horribly wrong and the ship has sunk, who knows. I have been having issues with my sync 2 unit rebooting randomly, and if I don't turn BT on my phone off, it just boot loops, so I have a feeling I may end up looking to replace my unit before long anyways

SYNC 2 SV: 3.10

Serial: YUBP01WB

SYNC system reset ->

For me, the first step doesn't start

"

Now open the “Settings -> Display -> Edit wallpaper” menu. Find the “Installer.jpg” file on the USB disk and just click

on it. Do not try to set this file as a wallpaper it can cause the infinite reboot loop. After some time (usually less

than a minute) the MyTouch will be rebooted."

select “Installer.jpg”and error message not supported format error

The mirrorlink installation will not start.

I tried several pendrives.

The language of the sync system was changed to Hungarian about two years ago.

"It is not officially supported.

Is it possible that this is causing the problem?

I attach at usb files.

SyncExtPack.rar

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JasonACT:
@STL1te I've made some changes to your SyncAppRunner:

1/ Catches application crashes, so doesn't reboot the Sync (unless you're running a program from TotalCommander or something else, I.E. only the one launched from SyncAppRunner is caught)

2/ Generates a mouse click when exiting an app to give focus back to Sync HMI

3/ Allows the priority of the main, or all, threads in an app to be changed (on an optional start delay)

4/ Allows the quantum of those threads to be increased

5/ Experimental option to find the desktop.exe thread and reduce its quantum right down

6/ Allows you to dump the apps threads & priorities to a .txt file for review (helps getting the delay right)

7/ Allows different configurations for the different .exe names you want to run

Navitel locked up when searching for (GPS) COM ports with the aggressive values used here, but worked OK when I temporarily turned it off for the initial setup and then back on for actual usage.

Modified source code included...

Hi, guys.

I am not a native English speaker. After I read all the pages, I believe I had already jumped into a rabbit hole.

Can you guys tell me what I need to do? Which files do I need to download?

I want to be able to install Apps: MirrorLink and others. I do not need to activate the navigation.

I try to download the "SyncExtPack.rar" files from belys #1,727. It does not work,

"Find the “Installer.jpg” file on the USB disk and just click on it."

Anything happened.

Please help me, thanks a lot!

Assorted (Macromedia) "Flash Player" games attached.

I created a new .exe (it's the same .exe for all the games, just renamed) which will run "swFlash32.exe" from the same directory, with a generated parameter of the game-name in the swf directory. I.E. you simply rename one of the game .exes to X.exe and when you run it, it will run:

"/path/FlashGames/swFlash32.exe /path/FlashGames/swf/X.swf"

You can also set up the .png SyncAppsRunner stuff for access - or just use TotalCommander, though I find it's best to close the virtual keyboard I set up. My Flash game .exe will protect the system from a crashed Flash app (Sync should not reboot, if that happens) and it also increases the priority of all threads to real-time. Games should run smoothly.

Oh, and I did hack SpiderSolitaire (original and hack are both there) to increase the hard-coded time from 10 minutes to 20 minutes per game. Not that I struggled to complete it in 10 minutes (that's a total lie) but I'm just thinking of the kiddies.

Enjoy! And post any other good+working games up, if you find them - there must be hundreds out there.

Good evening to all...

I finally decided to upgrade my Sync from 3.08 to 3.10.

I will follow these steps.

1) Update.

2) nav reactivation (if lost - but how? - NaviPatch.png?).

3) mirrorlink installation via decrypt.

it's ok or i have to use other files/procedure?

Thank you.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sensorial:
Don't install this package, it doesn't work. The tiles do not respond to touch
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JasonACT:
Not only that, but the original developer has now provided all the source files. And there are more recent ones here too now. No-one should be trying to use the encrypted and time-limited installer software anymore. At least not without removing those 2 points of fact... Which I'm not interested in, in any case, as all this software runs off USB or SD just as well - which is way more serviceable as time moves forward.

I'm sorry for the people who have been bitten by ALZYOUD though, that crew really went beyond what I call reasonable. Extract my "Restore" archive to a blank USB stick and the skeleton keys (in the right extracted directories) should allow you to fix it, by doing a full re-install of the Sync2 firmware, which I won't help with since it's prone to failure. While it should work, you're on your own!

Good luck people! (I've found swFlashLite for QNX 6.x & ARMv6 and that's where I'm now spending my time, since that's what my Aussie 8" i.MX31 screen is running... With any luck, I'll get some cool flash games running on it over the coming weekend. My Sync2 unit is now "off the bench".)

Read post 1741, and use that package of software, it's far better than the encrypt/decrypt method and requires almost no effort. I will admit, I wish there was a launcher or something that I could use if the vehicle is in motion but that's for a different post

From what I understand, there is the possibility to run the various programs from SD or USB (personally I prefer SD) but I didn't understand how to do it.

in post 1741 there are no files to install.

I certainly missed some steps.

I look in the previous posts and see if I can figure it out...

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Distrojer:
Hi,

Do you know where and in what format are the messages in the navigation? Unfortunately, SYNC 2 does not support navigation commands in Polish. Thought it was possible to change a few sound files. I mean for e.g "Turn left" commands.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jelcyn77:
What do You mean by that.

I have extract archive to USB, its look like this right now.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JasonACT:
You can fix your serial number by editing the registry (I posted a registry editor earlier) or you can use the png/swf files in this post (they must be renamed, edited, renamed back first):

https://xdaforums.com/t/myford-touc...on-rear-view-camera-etc.3321397/post-86825211

You can also re-enable the navi software using the original NaviPatch.png file.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JasonACT:
Sometimes I amaze myself... Having played with the QNX O/S for a couple of years now, I can pretty well follow what's going on in the images from my Ford screen. Searching the Internet though, I had seen the QNX web-site talk about FlashLite for my version (6.4.1 - which is very old) and someone else had found download files for a Logitech Harmony Remote 900 which, you guessed it, runs a slightly earlier version of QNX but on a i.MX21 instead of my i.MX31. Meh, they are basically the same. The download also happens to contain the FlashLite files - and I now have it running on my original Ford screen:

Bloody touch-screen interface isn't working though :(

Looks like I'm going to be busy for the foreseeable future working on this (as you can see, Sync 2 is off the bench).

But... It's been fun.

Hi JasonACT,

Good morning guys.

Sytem upgraded to 3.10, all seems to work well.

i still don't understand how to proceed.

what vnc server did u use? i tried droid vnc but i cant force exact resolution. did u use vncce provided by @JasonACT ?

And question for someone who maybe knows. I managed to run Installer.jpg but after replugging usb instalation isnt starting. Im on version 3.10. Any advice?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] haylazzz:
I used droid VNC, but you cannot change the screen resolution to 800x480 through the program. For this, you need to connect the phone to the computer and replace it with adb. This is not a useful operation. I just made it to test.

Now I ordered myself a raspberry. I'll try it with Linux when it arrives. But the only problem is that when I try with android, the screen hangs. I hope I don't experience this on Linux. Or does anyone have a solution for this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wolfiehv:
ye i tried adb but i have

android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JasonACT:
Are you using the latest SyncAppsRunner which adjusts the thread priorities?

Are you configuring the Sync 2 as an access point for the mobile device to connect to directly?

I did have stuttering when configured through my home WiFi router, but it went away and became smooth when it was using a direct connection and all the priorities were adjusted. But I still only get about 5 full frames per second, but it becomes reasonable for video when you shrink the player's window a bit.

(Oh, not that anyone here cares, but I got my original car's touch-screen working with Flash-lite. Seems Ford cut corners on the touch screen driver. QNX input drivers are meant to send events to the graphics layer, but this one only makes a serial port available, which can serve many clients. Everything that needs input from the screen opens the device - instead of how QNX is designed to work, as an event model. But all fixed now... Just have to find some killer SWF programs to run on it now.)
