Sorry, I was too excited to try it. That's how I flashed MTCB by mistake.

my unit is a Joying JY-UL135, I believe it's definitely MTCD

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/V23VblR9dMU/maxresdefault.jpg

This is not my picture, but it's the only screen I get with the SD card inserted. without all i get is a black screen.

It doesn't seem to go to recovery, If i follow the process (hold power 10 seconds till flash, press once) the unit just reboots to that same screen.
[MTCD Software Development] sterod:
Guys, Malaysk is right. It's not xposed, its the Next Launcher. The problem occurs if you enable the next launcher and then reboot immediately. If you do this then the launcher wants to run the setup wizard on boot up and that is what causes the boot loop. The solution is to run another launcher first then reboot then choose the next launcher and immediately press the home button to run the next launcher wizard. After that subsequently reboots are fine.

@Malaysk what happened to the JY SWC Service application? It looks like it is missing on 6.5. I used this application to control PowerAmp media keys with the steering wheel controls.
[MTCD Software Development] Tracker95:
this is really annoying.. i am trying to use the bluetooth with this do you think by any chance that it will work?

(can't post outsidelink please look it up in ebay "New DC12V Bluetooth RC Remote Controller For IOS Android RGB SMD LED Strip Light"

it's a bluetooth Led Strip controller that requires

bluetooth 4.0 and above
[MTCD Software Development] sterod:
Yes it is very annoying but it's not Malaysk's fault. He's tried everything. I doubt that adaptor World War II because it probably needs the native Bluetooth drivers which this ROM is missing and cannot be injected because we don't have the kernel source code
[MTCD Software Development] Malaysk:
Here he is. Some had problems with this app :)
[MTCD Software Development] nixfu:
Umm.. I got the boot loops everytime on v5 and v6 when using CarMod launcher.
[MTCD Software Development] sterod:
I should have been more clear. Xposed was not at fault on this new version 6.5. It is at fault on V6. I can't comment on V5. I've documented and explained many times in this thread how to avoid the boot loop on those versions. Search if you are interested.
[MTCD Software Development] nixfu:
Here is how my MTCD Joying gets into recovery.

1) Press the volume/power button and HOLD it for a long time

2) Eventually the screen will go black, and then the front panel lights will flash 3 times.

3) Wait 3 MORE seconds after the flashes

4) Let go

5) Give the volume/power button one more quick press

The timing has to be just right or you will miss it. It takes a bit of practice to get the feel of the timing.

It was much easier on MTCB with the reset/power press sequence, but this new scheme is how it works on the new Joyings.

[MENTION=3590033]Malaysk[/MENTION] I just tried editing the status bar ini file to turn off the screen saver Icon by changing desktopclock=true and now the unit is boot looping as soon as the launcher is displayed on the screen like it did in my YouTube video before. Can you confirm if this is a bug or not.

I used ES Note Editor to modify the file.

And of course this had to happen after I had spent almost two hours fully configuring the head unit to my liking. So forgive me if I am a little angry about this.

I have confirmed that my initial findings were correct that modifying the status bar ini file settings for the screensaver to be hidden causes the boot loop. I reproduced this after doing a factory wipe again this time with the KLD launcher and the result was the same as soon as I enabled xposed on the next reboot I have the boot loop I didn't catch it initially because after the reset I thought, wait I had already edited the ini file but then I realized I had not yet turned on xposed. As soon as I did, bam!

In addition to this, editing the ini file seems to have no effect on the status bar icons even after enabling the Xposed Module it uses. I have several tagged as true so that they will be hidden yet they all still appear, for example the home button and the back button do not get hidden.

Hello guys is this Stereo Compatible with this rom? It say mtcb jy v1.24_2
[MTCD Software Development] sterod:
That photo looks like it says MTCD not MTCB. If its MTCD, Yes, if not, No. Either way, Malaysk has a ROM for both versions but this thread is for MTCD discussion.
[MTCD Software Development] aarick:
Installed v6.5, full wipe. Resetup everything and was working well. Did a few reboot. Eventually, physical button stopped working again.

Any clues? I use MTCDtools and panel key study to tweak my buttons.

Can someone help? [MENTION=3590033]Malaysk[/MENTION], could you chime in at all please?

I can confirm that the buttons still work when I go into panel study in factory settings. However, to make it work with android again, I have to reset the panel study and reboot, but this will only work for 1 boot. Next reboot, it stops working again. So seems like communication between mcu and android system breaks somehow.

Frustrating as I just spent 2 hrs setting everything up and now it's broken again.

Does MTCkeys work with steering wheel button on an Audi?

Overall, rom been great except for this issue.

Thanks.
[MTCD Software Development] nixfu:
Had some time so I did some testing.

v6 is stable IF you install 4(wipe and clear), then 5(no clear), then 6 (no clear).... of course then I stopped playing with them and did a full wipe and install of 6.5

So for 6.5 is stable with Xposed running and using modcar launcher.
[MTCD Software Development] dongali:
Do you mean it's stable as in it doesn't boot loop or did you test it over several days for issues on v6?
[MTCD Software Development] -=Jeff=-:
I cannot seem to find something in the thread. what autostarted apps cause issue with the brightness of the screen. I saw MTCSound, but I thought it was a different app
[MTCD Software Development] Malaysk:
The firmware is updated.

Next Launcher - deleted

Carmod Launcher - Removed

Cyclics will no longer reboots.
[MTCD Software Development] dongali:
I've been using only Carmod launcher on your v4 rom for a week now and I have not encountered any notable bugs. v4 of Malaysk rom has been very stable and bug free for me. I have a hunch the bugs may be caused by Xposed since v4 is the last version before Xposed was implemented to the rom.
[MTCD Software Development] Nergo1:
Hey

I am still on v3 and unit works very well. But now want to check out the new v6.5.

Is it right that i only have to install it as an update like from v2 to v3?

Thank You!
[MTCD Software Development] aarick:
Did you update v6.5 again? Is that the only change in v6.5, removal of next launcher and carmod launcher?

If that's the case I'll just remove it from my device as I just reset and reinstall your earlier release v6.5 again to fix physical button issues.
[MTCD Software Development] sterod:
Cyclics will no longer reboots.
[MENTION=3590033]Malaysk[/MENTION] - What does this mean? I don't understand.

Did you see my post where I reported that the statusbar.ini modifications don't appear to work? I set many to =true but the icons still appear. Also, setting desktopclock=true (to hide the screensaver) caused a boot loop.

easy connect lost

Hello,

after the installation 6.5 i have lost my easyConnect for my Erisin 3060

has anyone the new version ?

Thx.

I have the radio until a week .

and now the 6.5 installed for the first time . So far everything has worked. Now it will test it, but looks much better than my old version . but i has a lot to learn .

Need now the easyConnect app for the radio to connect with my phone ( Samsung S7 ).

or is there a other better app for it.

thx.
[MTCD Software Development] detroitredwings:
That means - there won't be any bootloops. Carmod launcher and/or Next Launcher were causing them.
[MTCD Software Development] sterod:
No I don't think it's that simple. I discovered something else that causes a boot Loop if you go back a few posts

[MTCD Software Development] aarick:
How do I remove apps permanently? I use titanium backup to uninstall carmod launcher and next launcher and it comes back on next reboot? MTCkeys as well. I think this must be the culprit to my physical button issue. It's doing sth during boot that it should not do!

[MENTION=4816338]sterod[/MENTION] your boot loop must have some connection to this.

Thx for your time. ;)
[MTCD Software Development] morgish:
Same thing happened to me regarding the physical buttons. Using the hard-reset button will bring them back to life. I can replicate the issue by using quickreset from the status bar or the reboot option from inside startupbuilder.

If xposed is the reason then just take it out please.

New issue, after reboot Viper4Android doesn't initialize until I gogo into settings and click Viper4Android. Drivers installed and I don't need to reenable, it will only kick in when the app launch.

Is there a really aggressive setting somewhere stopping services from initializing until manually being called upon?
[MTCD Software Development] dongali:
[MENTION=3590033]Malaysk[/MENTION]

If it's not too much work, would it be possible to rebuild your v6 or v6.5 rom without xposed included? Or maybe release v7 with in two flavors- v7 with xposed and v7 without xposed. It would help us figure out if Xposed is causing issues.
[MTCD Software Development] nyogtha:
I'm having this issue as well. Viper4Android needs to be "enabled" after every reboot by just going into the settings screen. This happens both when the unit does a full boot and when it's just sleeping after a shorter power loss.

[MTCD Software Development] aarick:
One way to fix my physical button issue I found is to freeze xposed installer in titanium backup. So maybe that's an option for anyone wanting to disable xposed? I disable all modules first, then freeze. I know this doesn't fully uninstall xposed, but works for me. I could also defrost it after and seems to continue working, but probably until a few more reboots...we'll see as I do like xposed a lot when it works

[MTCD Software Development] hexer-schwarz:
Exactly the same problem i have.
[MTCD Software Development] doctorman:
Someone with the reboot problem needs to make a Log so Malaysk can solve the problem instead of putting band aid on it and removing or freezing xposed. getting xposed working on these opens lot of doors and features.

[MTCD Software Development] Flockrock:
You can get it in the Playstore
[MTCD Software Development] mpalastea:
after browsing play store i finally found it. it's car launcher pro/trial. pro is paid, trial is only 5 days functionality. " Attention! Starting with this 1.3.1 version, the program moves from the status FREE,

status free TRIAL, with access to all features as in PRO version,

but only for 5 DAYS, after that the program will stop working".

so, from now on, we should pay for this launcher?

EDIT: found the apk on the internet, the pro version. installed, works fine.

my unit's phisical buttons also freeze totally after some time after fresh install (v 5 and v 6.5) but after couple reboots and maybe wipe all data/factory and cache reset they begin functionig again normally. never enabled xposed. so i believe it is a software problem somewhere.

Ok, what is this??? Have our MTCD units now officially been declared obsolete already? This device says it has 2GB ram and has an Intel CPU as per the comments. Is this the one that also has Parrot bluetooth? If so we need to know if the Bluetooth works properly on these new units.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCoQ1WoQ8rA
[MTCD Software Development] HVB83:
Sounds promising, because let's face it, the RK3188 is more than qualified for a tablet, there is no reason to use this kind of low consumption cpu in a headunit. Especially when running various apps simultaniously, the added RAM is more than welcome.

Just curious if Joying will be the only one with this kind of setup, or if other manufacturers will follow shortly.
[MTCD Software Development] sterod:
From what I understand, Joying doesn't make them. They all come from a common Chinese manufacturer and then the OEM's put their face on it. So, if this is correct, I'd say Yes.
[MTCD Software Development] w0rdie:

Because they've never lied about specs before :rolleyes:

I'll believe it has an Intel CPU (and remember they do a lot more than just x86) when someone here posts a screenshot of the about screen.
[MTCD Software Development] leonkernan:
That's got as much to do with the GPU, that's the part that's really not open on the RK3188 and holds everything back.

I wanted to change the MTC Radio app to this: http://xdaforums.com/android-auto/a...-mtcflatradio-modified-mtc-radio-app-t3440139

So another bug/ issue is not being able to install the MOD or OEM MTC apps ( radio, music, video) in V6 or 6.5

Hopefully it doesn't have a Bluetooth adapter that only speaks directly through the MCU, if it does it will be just as useless as the MTCD units
[MTCD Software Development] dongali:
Go to settings - about - version

Then under section "MCU version", it should start off as MTCD, MTCB, or MTCC. This thread is only compatible with MTCD. If your unit is MTCB, Malaysk has another rom thread dedicated to that in the MTCB forum.

You may use any MTCD rom image with any MTCD unit- filename is usually "dupdate.img"

Be careful when flashing the MCU image or you risk bricking your unit- it must be specific for your unit- filename is usually "dmcu.img"

[MTCD Software Development] nixfu:
Discovered today... if you install 6.5 and activate the mtc-statusbar xposed module BEFORE you create the folder and put the status_bar.ini in that folder on the GPS SD Card, then you will get a infinite boot loop no matter what launcher you are using.

Make sure you create the folders and ini files on the GPS SD Card before you enable the modules. If you do that then it works and won't case a boot loop. Same goes for the xposed module that puts the gps speed on the malaysk(5.1 JY) launcher.
[MTCD Software Development] sterod:
Has anyone else experienced boot loops after DOWNGRADING from 5, 6 or 6.5 back to 4? I've been trying to help Malaysk isolate what is causing the boot loops but I'm having a hard time explaining why I am getting boot loops now on V4. With a full wipe / factory restore and a full re-install of 4, there should be no remnants of 5, 6 or 6.5. We've been blaming Xposed, but maybe its something else. Today I did exactly this, I was on V6.5, and I wiped everything and reloaded 4. Once I had 4 re-installed, I did ONLY these 6 steps:

1) Set radio station presets

2) Paired BT Phone

3) Connected WiFI

4) Signed into Google Play

5) Downloaded SuperSU (which updated the binaries)

6) Rebooted and BOOT LOOP

This was a real head scratcher. So, I did it ALL over again, same sequence, but this time after the total wipe it was a re-install of 4 over top 4. This time, it didn't boot loop, its still running OK.

I am at a complete loss as to what is causing these boot loops and I'm really getting tired of this. I want to help find the cause so we can move forward, but at the same time I want a reliable unit. Its been nothing but boot loops for me for over a week now and the patience is wearing thin.
