Hey

Just a small review from me, moving from Stock ROM to Malaysk ROM(11.4) on a KGL unit

Flashing somewhat well - Error on the screen at first flash(as mentioned), and 2nd flash worked fine - got an extra long startup time of 4-5 minutes first time.

I immediately noticed the speed of the unit have increased dramatically - now the unit is actually responsive when navigating between apps! THANKS!

Next up - Getting MicroG working.............this was a hazzle for me! Started with opening Google play and setting uip my Google Account = Fail!

Found out thrugh the forums, that MicroG should be enabled first..................so did that config cloned of a post on this thread.

Opened up Google Play shop again............Error message! - Solution was to delete the google account setup before enabling MicroG and then adding it through the settings panel - Then it worked afater a reboot.

I also got some errors regarding sync of contacts(stopped working).

Now I have Google Play store working and Google Maps working with native language.

Only issue, is that i sometimes get popup from Android that Google Maps is not responding, if I try to navigate it, when unit is busy.

Issues:

-GPS speed on screensaver and Launcher not working(apparently fixed in 11.5?!)

-Weather sometimes crashes or stalls in updating/refreshing....have not found out if certain provider causes this.

-There are some scaling issues around the JY Launcher and widgets - Try adding a widget to the Launcher and hold it for expanding it - The widget frame is offset compared to the actual placement of the widget - so you cannot place it correctly. But maybe I should not use the JY launcher on KGL unit(?)

-Cannot disable Screenaver - Would be nice to have a disable option in Settings.

-No stock launcher avialable - Could be nice to have a option for just having the stock launcher.

-Google Maps cannot save map directions on Desktop(Launcher) - If you choose the option, shortcut is never created - Believe this have something to do with the launcher, because Stock launcher supports this - Workaround: Manually create a widget with the Map directions.

-Same problem with Radio app, that it keeps auto-scanning away channels which I manually have locked (regardless of the auto-scan toggle being enabled or not!) = FM Radio is useless! (not Malaysk issue, but seems to be the APP being faulty)

Generally the unit is now more usable with the "speed" increase - Especially the UI being responsive is nice improvement!

Very well done Malaysk!

Suggestions:

-Ability to disable Switching to back camera when in Reverse - I do not have a reverse camera - So just get a bad icon when reversing.

-MicroG should be easier to configure(or evenenabled by default!)

-Include an app catalog for user friendly head unit apps

-Would really like to have my Car physical buttons working better "Out-of-the-box" - Why not have a list where apps can be added/removed to the wheel function.

Switching between certain apps and adding functionality for play/pause skipping in TuneIn radio app or Tidal App - Current "Out of the box", the wheel just swtiches between default head unit app - And I generally I don't use any of them.
