I am seriously tired of these units. It seems to be on WinsoZ sys where each weeks you need to format and reinstall all. I am willing move towards iconic producers like Kenwood or Pioneer and their mirroring options. It means that I will use dashcommand or torque on S7 Edge.

It's impossible with these units hearing a good radio section and having an acceptable navi. If you think about loosing time you'd have bought a Pioneer twice.......

Very tired.

Let me say : Chinese **** you, you are producing ****s!
[MTCD Software Development] ptclabs:
Thats going to be a problem with the new units not coming with sd card or gps card slots. My new one did not either.

Just 2 usb plugs.

People are complaining a lot about the mtcd, but when mtcb came out it was a complete mess also. It took a couple years to sort it all out. It will get there. Maybe they will make 3288 cards for these things. It would make netflix work.

I can't find anything in that thread related to brightness.. It talks about music player control?
[MTCD Software Development] -=Jeff=-:
Try it again, without SuperSU. but after signing into Google Play, Reboot.. See if it continues to happen..
[MTCD Software Development] sterod:
I tried that Jeff, it didn't boot loop doing it that way but I don't think its SuperSU. It has boot looped on me before when I never updated SuperSU. Its proving to be a real pain in the ass to isolate. It hasn't boot looped since I installed 4 over top 4. We will see how today goes. I wonder if it could be corrupted / bad NAND / Flash.
[MTCD Software Development] -=Jeff=-:
anything is possible.. I have not seen a boot loop issue yet.. I am on v4 due to not being able to switch OEM apps on v6 or v6.5
[MTCD Software Development] sterod:
Malaysk has maintained the same, he has not gotten a boot loop. I wonder if there is a tool to check the integrity of the NAND, sort of like a CHKDSK to see if there are any bad blocks.
[MTCD Software Development] lordxenu:
I get bootloop with latest ROM when activating any module in Xposed.

I've tried Device ID Changer, Serial number changer and Xprivacy.

Enabling any of these in Xposed results in boot loop.

Can anyone help? I need to change my serial number so I can get tomtom working.

Using dupdate_5_1_1_FUSE_1024X600_800X480_RK3188_6.5_MAL _16_09_2016_MTCD.

yes now is very nice ?????

thank you very much
[MTCD Software Development] sterod:
... and good morning boot loop on version 4 again. Started up as normal listening to the radio, went to Google Play Store to load the Chrome browser, Rebooted just for testing purposes, it wasn't needed and voila boot loop.

I'm starting to wonder now if it's not the ROM but something else, perhaps the MCU. I'm running the Joying 10" with 1.74_2 latest MCU. For anyone else with boot loops, what MCU and make/model unit are you running?
[MTCD Software Development] lordxenu:
Version MTCD_JY_V1.74_2

Joying RK3188 8 inch 1024x600

Also found another bug just now while driving, some songs in the music player just stop and it skips on to the next track.
[MTCD Software Development] sterod:
Same MCU as me.. Let's see who else replies.
[MTCD Software Development] doctorman:
Recovery > Flash the whole unit 3 times > install original Joying ROM 2 times > after reboot do factory reset

if no boot loop your hardware is fine.

many times a 2nd install of the same ROM will fixes issues for me.

I agree with you guys that development on the Chinese companies on mtcD has been slow but the bugs here and there are part of new product experience and will be ironed out.

I have the mtcB in my own car with Malaysk ROM and has been stable for months now without any updates.

Some people update the ROM just to have the latest, I say if it ain't broken do not fix it.

Thank you to [MENTION=3590033]Malaysk[/MENTION] for working so hard on these and support of [MENTION=4816338]sterod[/MENTION]

Do not forget to email the manufacturers directly and on a biweekly case to ask for updates to fix the problems you are having. I push with Joying on my end.

also USA/Canada Customers if you want a great Radio push for HDRadio. Joying tried a HD radio chip that were not successful getting it to work but they will look into fixing it.
[MTCD Software Development] gunmoule:
MTCD KD V1.82_2 never experienced bootloops with Malaysk firmware tested on v4 v5 and v6, but had tons of "boot to black screen" or "boot to blank wallpaper.

I recently rolled back to factory firmware and it's running fine, no major bug or bootloops.

Btw, I never messed with Xposed stuff maybe that's why I never had bootloops.
[MTCD Software Development] dongali:
My MCU is in my signature. No boot loops when I was on v4 Malaysk.

Currently on the latest stock joying rom and it is much faster with less lag. Cold booting only takes 10 seconds. I do miss the features of Malaysk, especially FUSE, but speed and stability are more important to me. Hopefully v7 will be faster and stable.
[MTCD Software Development] sterod:
Ok, I'm really starting to think that the MCU could be the cause of the boot loops. A few minutes ago, I downgraded my MCU from 1.74_2 to 1.63_2. After it was completed, the unit booted, then boot looped, then on the 2nd boot, it booted normally, but I had no steering wheel controls or left side button controls (10" unit). I then proceeded to downgrade to V1.63 and the result was the same. First boot was a boot loop as soon as the launcher was displayed, then on 2nd boot, no steering wheel controls or side button controls. Finally, I had to upgrade back to 1.74_2 which did not boot loop on the first boot, and regained my steering wheel controls and side buttons. I have a feeling that this happened because the downloads for 1.63 and 1.63_2 do not include the dmcu.cfg files. Only the 1.74_2 package contains the dmcu.cfg file. There is where I'm leaving it for now, I'm wondering if the steering wheel and side button keys stopped working because they didn't come with a cfg file, or, because its not possible to downgrade the MCU after it has been upgraded. Also, I did try the touch panel study and key study commands in the factory 126 menu, they didn't help to restore the buttons.
[MTCD Software Development] morgish:
Sorry mate, that's correct. I meant to find MTC-Volume. See attached pics. Hope this is what you're after.

Installed by default on V6.5
[MTCD Software Development] Malaysk:
I'm not sure 100 percent, but I must find a way to fix persistent across reboots and rectification work physical buttons! Installing firmware who have already installed my firmware:

Go to Settings - About - Update. Put a check mark on the Wipe Date and install the firmware. All. Please check the installation method!
[MTCD Software Development] Malaysk:
Today, I update the firmware! All launchers back. The sound of the firmware will be awesome !!! On 4PDA and XDA made sound improvement (Kumarai and guys with XDA)
[MTCD Software Development] dedafmonteur:
Exciting!! I went back to stock because 6.5 was too buggy. Really curious if this wil be better.
[MTCD Software Development] trap63:
[MENTION=3590033]Malaysk[/MENTION] for future deploy.

If you surf over Xtrons Site with reference to model PF75HGTA (mine) and PF65 (non dvd unit) among the "Extra" you can see that unit is enabled to install and manage "AMK003 -2.4GHz Wireless Mini Keyboard Mouse Touchpad for PC Pad Laptop XBOX, 360 PS3 TV Box" http://xtrons.com/amk003-2-4g-wirel...bo-for-pc-pad-laptop-xbox-360-ps3-tv-box.html .

This extra fits on USB plug with a dongle to receive/transmit signal without connecting/pairing to internal WiFi module. Therefore on 5.1 is there the chance to manage dongles outside internal board ones. Can you investigate about injection of adding drivers in firmware? I tried i.g. to install Wavesink Plus DAB+ FM-RDS to verify if operating might be better than USBDA01 of Xtrons and DAB2 apk.

This MTCD Unit both with stock FW and FW_Malaysk accepts the install of RTL2832U driver (Martinov).
[MTCD Software Development] Malaysk:
Updated firmware №6.5 HERE

Installation: Loading the device. Insert the SD card with the firmware. Go to Settings - About - Update and put a tick in the Wipe Data. The first boot is long (10-12 minutes) all the additional programs and launchers. will be installed after downloading in the background

Display brightness

Hi,

is there any way to lower the lowest display brightness?

Because lowest setting is still to bright for me at night.

[MENTION=3590033]Malaysk[/MENTION] which one of these 3 is the correct placement of the folders that go on the GPS Card? The paths in the zip file make it unclear.

Also can someone verify that you can change the MTCRadio app with what looks like another newer version of v6.5 ..
[MTCD Software Development] Malaysk:
Someone requested to add Settings - Airplane Mode, Mobile Data, Configure APN. Made. In the next update.
[MTCD Software Development] pitu120:
Wow, nice! Im waiting :)
[MTCD Software Development] aarick:
Just installed. Thanks for the rom!

Seems smoother than stock Rom, but haven't reinstalled all my apps.

How come apple music is not compatible with device, but was working before I install this rom? Youtube music is also missing?

Sound quality seems better. Bass is stronger which is great.

Thanks.
[MTCD Software Development] sterod:
Malaysk, is it possible to add a setting which allows height adjustment of the top status bar? I find that the left "Home" and right "Back" icons are quite large, taking up too much space when everything else in the status bar is smaller.
[MTCD Software Development] Malaysk:
Yes. I also think that they are big. I will make them smaller.
[MTCD Software Development] pitu120:
Is possible to add custom apps to application which we can change with mode button on devices or wheel? Now when we click this button change between radio, music, dvd, (in my devive also avin). Maybe is possible to add custom apps like a spotify etc. :)
[MTCD Software Development] hadeone:
Don't forget to donate to Malaysk, especially if you're making requests. He isn't getting paid to do this.
[MTCD Software Development] sterod:
I don't think so, because the steering wheel controls are handled by the MCU which I don't believe Malaysk (or anyone else) has the source code for.
[MTCD Software Development] whitetigerlgt:
Hey Malaysk, have you had any luck pinpointing the BT issue? Is there a way to have the OS flag BT as on all the time to 3rd party apps.?

Thanks
[MTCD Software Development] sterod:
As per Doctorman, Malaysk said that in order to fix it he needs source code which he does not have access to, or, "MVG70s" modules which I have no idea what those are. In short, I think he is waiting for a manufacturer to fix it (KD,JY or other) and than incorporate the fix into his custom ROM.

I have a problem with the Music app. I changed it with one from the OEM App and now my steering wheel controls (for changing track) does not work and neither the one from the headunit buttons.

And when I press the EQ button from the Music app it does nothing.

[MENTION=3590033]Malaysk[/MENTION]

Another thing.

On MTCB units, you modified the 5.1.1 launcher to show the speed on the mainscreen. Can you please add this for MTCD devices in the next update?
[MTCD Software Development] sterod:
I had the same problem, restore the OEM apk versionof the app from the OEM application and it will work again. It looks like some of these modified oem apps are for different MCU's, they dont appear to all be interchangeable. When I changed mine, the radio tuner stopped working too. Had to revert to OEM app apk.

[MENTION=4816338]sterod[/MENTION]

Thank you for your suggestion.

We hope now that [MENTION=3590033]Malaysk[/MENTION] will modify the apps from this MTCD units so that we can have a bigger song list :D

[MTCD Software Development] yonn1981:
Hello,

I have mtcd with 5.1.1 KGL, so this ROM should work with mine... I know how to go to recovery..

But I'm not a fan with theme.. Stock apps theme look better to me..

So what option available? Will I be able to replace apps with stock Apps to restore the theme?

The other features looks interesting... But will wait for next version ...

Thanks and great work you're doing...
[MTCD Software Development] sterod:
Malaysk already mentioned that he included an app named "OEM" in Version 3.0 which gives you the ability to choose themes, and also restore the OEM theme (music, radio eq) apps.
[MTCD Software Development] chuckeay:
Hello everybody :)

I'm a newcomer in the Android's HU world. I'm starting to learn this specific vocabulary. This forum is a great school:)

I have a noob question:

I bought an HU for my prius. The MCU says the manufacturer is KD. I would like to know what KD means: is it Klyde or an other (cuz i often see Klyde = KLD)?

Thanks, and please, excuse my English...im french

Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant Tapatalk
[MTCD Software Development] sterod:
Yes KD is Klydle and JY is Joying, I think there some other variants as well.

---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

[MENTION=3590033]Malaysk[/MENTION] did you make a change in version 3 that would have corrected the external SD card storage problem? I opened link2sd on my device today running version 3 and the link 2 SD card option (not to be confused with move to SD card option) was now shown which allowed me to link the data storage of the Plex application to the GPS external SD card. This is sufficient to resolve my problem I do not need the move to SD card (app) ability. I only need to be able to link the data Folder. So I'm wondering if this is something I didn't see in version 2 or something that you fixed and didn't mention it in the change log. As long as this stays working in future versions of your ROM we don't need a separate version that does not include FUSE. See photo.

The third one
[MTCD Software Development] Dreamer2014:
I am new here with head units

I have Joying 135 and with the last official firmware

I want to have one partition instead of 2 this is my interest in this firmware

I want to install this firmware but I do not want unstable firmware because this is a car head unit that I use it in my every day driving

so how can I start and with what firmware version

Can I start directly with 6.5 with no problems or start with a previous one and upgrade it later

Thank you for your help
[MTCD Software Development] Malaysk:
this way - (GPS ROOT)\mtc-launcher
[MTCD Software Development] sterod:
[MENTION=3590033]Malaysk[/MENTION] so if I went back to Joying Stock ROM and I want to go straight to the 6.5 ROM you released today, do I still use the about / software updates screen and check the wipe box? Before I would always go to factory recovery boot menu after a reset and installed the ROM using the Power button to select "Update from SD Card and clear all" from the factory recovery menu.
[MTCD Software Development] Dreamer2014:
[MENTION=3590033]Malaysk[/MENTION]

Thank you for your great work and your appreciated efforts

I want to tell you what I think after reading the most of this thread

I think that this firmware is for a car head unit not for a phone or a tablet so the most important things is:

* stability

* performance

* good working head units must to have apps

so I think if you can make it simple with no a lot of apps and mods that will be great

just try to make the firmware stable with good performance and focus in the main car units apps ( navigation, radio, Bluetooth, music and video apps quick start with no lags .. etc )

I think we do not need additional complicated apps and mods

just fast, clean and simple

If you try to add more complicated apps and mods more problems will appear and will take a lot of your efforts to fix it

so some of users will prefer official firmware for its stability even with its faults and limitation comparing with yours

This is my opinion and I hope it can help you

Reset Problem

Hello, i have a Problem.

My Hu: Joying DE-JY-UL135DAB+ Android 5.1

I installed the Rom without any problem but after a view days it starts with the message: "Android is starting optimizing apps" it loads until 70/100 then ist restarts again but this time is loads just 31/31 and now i have a freshly resetet Rom. This happens the second time to me.
[MTCD Software Development] aarick:
Was the button working in touch panel study?

If it is, try disabling xposed, make sure the button has some custom config, reset button. Reboot. Then, go in and set up the buttons again.
[MTCD Software Development] sterod:
Yes, pressing the left side menu buttons caused a "reaction" in the touch panel study, but following the instructions did not work. It said in the middle of the screen (please click the +) however no matter what you did, nothing would advance the process. Reverting back to 1.74_2 restored full left side button and steering wheel controls with nothing more than a reflash. I did not have to do any of the touch / panel or swc studies to restore it.
[MTCD Software Development] aarick:
I edited my post above. Added sone extra steps to try. That seems to work for me.
[MTCD Software Development] sterod:
There was no Xposed to disable. This happened on V4 of Malask's ROM which did not have Xposed. I've moved on from this one for now, running Stock for a while until stuff gets sorted out. I've been the guinea pig for a few weeks now and I'm a little tired of testing. I need it to be reliable for a while before I revisit this.
[MTCD Software Development] mpalastea:
no problem, found it cracked.
[MTCD Software Development] hadeone:
Agreed. I installed the Stock Joying Aug25 rom yesterday because Malasyk V5 was so slow to start up (laggy after boot) and I would be driving for 5 mins before I could use Waze. On the stock rom it's usable almost as soon as the screen shows up.

These units already require a lot of time to get running the way you want. If every version of this custom rom keeps changing things around it turns into a major time sink for a car radio... IMO simple, clean and fast is better than being able to tweak every single thing.

The main reason I installed the Malaysk ROM is because the first versions were optimized compared the Stock ROM but it seems that stock is now faster/ more stable than recent versions.

Thanks for reading.
[MTCD Software Development] sterod:
I can also confirm what has been said above about the speed. I am running the stock ROM now and I can tell you it boots much faster and applications are also much more responsive. On the custom ROM boot up took over 40 seconds and it's about 20 seconds on stock. Also opening Google Maps on the custom ROM took nearly a full minute before it was ready for use and it is about 15 seconds on the stock ROM. It's nice having all these extra features to tweak everything but this unit is just too slow to handle all of these add-ons

For me personally the only reason I needed the custom ROM was in the hope that the Bluetooth issues could be resolved. But it appears that will be impossible without the kernel source code to inject USB Bluetooth drivers. That being said I am now thinking about what to do next. Seeing how the new Joying unit coming Oct 10th with 2GB RAM and the Intel CPU is also MTCD based, I have little hope that they have fixed the Bluetooth problem where the internal BT adapter only talks to the MCU and not Android. It appears that my only other option is to revert back to my NewsMy CarPad 2S unit which had dual Bluetooth adapters, however this will come at the price of losing the 10-inch screen and RDS.
[MTCD Software Development] whitetigerlgt:
^im in the same boat as you .

I've been considering lately to use the chassis and screen mounts from my 10" joying unit and put together a tablet system instead. the 2din box can hold the DAC and SWC and power attachments and the systme would look like the joying but function properly.
[MTCD Software Development] Malaysk:
Okay guys, I'm tired of 4 months to do the firmware. At the moment I stop firmware development. If that will do it interesting, I'll post here. Good luck everyone. Thank you for your patience.
[MTCD Software Development] Rausiman:
That's too bad. I find the development very exciting and as a beginner very helpful for me . Do not be discouraged . Your work is really great . I would be very happy about an evolution . Please continue.

[MENTION=3590033]Malaysk[/MENTION] - Don't be discouraged, just because it doesn't suit my needs doesn't mean other people can't benefit from your work. I really appreciate the time you put in trying to improve this unit.
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
People here demands as if they had rights to do it.

You guys bought a product with the support of your manufacturer.

If you don't have the unit you expected ... send it back to your seller.

Any additional support that Malaysk is giving us is out of any manufacturer guideline.

Malaysk does this using his free time in an altruistic way.

Please Malaysk don't give up.

Most of people here respect your work done...and I have envy for not having your skills to do this by myself.

I know this firmware is not easy.

Rk3188 1gb is very limited for all the things we want.

Consider that you have a car headunit not an Android phone/tv nor a entertainment system. Anything that could be added will be welcome, but consider you bought the unit for hearing music/phonecalls and gps driving....

[MTCD Software Development] sterod:
[MENTION=744370]ikerg[/MENTION] I think you are exaggerating here. I pretty much paid over half the cost to buy and send Malaysk a test MTCD unit to develop this ROM. Malaysk even offered to refund me my contribution because he could not fix the bluetooth problem. I said "No, keep it", because I understand time isn't free and his work has benefited many people. I'm not demanding anything, and I haven't seen anyone post a demand in this forum either. Its not Malaysk's fault, this platform (RK3188 on 5.1.1) is a bad combination that should never have been released. The chip is simply too slow to support it and the 1GB RAM makes it nearly impossible to get a decent running unit. Why do you think Joying has already planned to release a 2GB unit running on an Intel CPU next month? In my opinion, it is because they now know these units were a mistake and they are quickly working to replace them an upgraded model, after only 5 months of this unit being on the market. I'm fairly certain we will see Joying and the other OEM's abandon software development on these RK3188 1GB 5.1.1 units very soon. They tried, it didn't meet expectations, we move on. This happens in life.
