I've installed Malaysk V4 for PX5, and I see that the "Delay of execution action" doesn't work - it just immediately selects. It worked fine with the previous stock image I had installed. Any chance of fixing this, or maybe know what's going on?
[MTCD Software Development] marchnz:
"Unfortunately.....closed" app crash when entering autoruns menu on PX5 HA 26/09/2017.
[MTCD Software Development] SkyBeam2048:
Did you create any action before?

I found MTCD-Tools to crash when there is no action created so there is nothing to be selected in autoruns menu. So try creating an action (e.g. to launch an application) first and then enter the autoruns menu to add this action to the autoruns list.

Personally I am more missing a possibility to bind actions to unmapped steering wheel buttons. On my HU (MTCD KLD, MCU 2.61) I can only map actions to key combinations for buttons previously mapped using the steering wheel button map application. So there is no way for me to map buttons only to MTCD tools actions.

As a work-around I have mapped some "useless" functions to the buttons and then mapped additional functionality to them using MTCD tools.

I would prefer the "Source" button on my steering wheel just to launch the DAB+ app. It works fine but also the function mapped by the HU ROM is executed first.

Also my initial ROM had a button in the status bar to blank the screen. I haven't figured out yet how to launch this with MTCD tools and map it to a button. I will likely have to find the intent and correct parameters. On my current ROM the same button is still there but just changing screen brightness (not blanking the screen and turning off backlight). If anyone knows the correct intent configuration. Please let me know :)

[MTCD Software Development] dussy81:
Hi!

I have a problem. When an incoming call is made, the music player (PowerAmp) is not muted. Works with the factory player perfectly.

How can I set the PowerAmp to be the default music player application?

Thanks!

I'm sorry my weak English ...
[MTCD Software Development] Bose321:
Good question. I have the same when my navigation app is giving directions. It does seem to work, but only for a split second...
[MTCD Software Development] dussy81:
Navigation is adjustable, it works perfectly.

Go to the settings / navigation settings and set the first option in the desired application.

Or ... I have a "Navigation" icon in the applications. Hold down the icon and you will get this option.
[MTCD Software Development] Bose321:
You're understanding me wrong. I have the same issue as you.

It works fine with the default apps like you say with calling and navigation. But with PowerAmp the sound is not muted, or way too short.
[MTCD Software Development] Petesky:
I had that problem , theres a setting in poweramp that fixes it , I'll check in a bit and let you know

Here Its

Poweramp settings-->audio-->advanced tweaks-> uncheck direct volume control
[MTCD Software Development] dussy81:
*Edited

Thanks, it works!

Another question:

the factory media player resumes playback when I turn on the HU again.

The poweramp does not resume music playback. If I restart, I will jump back to the beginning of the song.

thanks
[MTCD Software Development] me.how:
Same problem.

Up.
[MTCD Software Development] dussy81:
What kind of launcher do you use?
[MTCD Software Development] me.how:
Car Launcher AG - it looks awesome and sit have a built-in widget supporting poweramp or other player which supports android notifications. MTC Music app would be also fine if it would support notifications. I know there is additional app which provides notifications in mtc radio. If there was similar for mtc music ...

sry for bad english

Help to turn radio on like the radio widget uses (with a shortcut). I just want to turn the radio on, it is already on the correct station.

Attached is the logcat that occurs when the widget on button is pushed. Can anyone help me with the intent code to do this function. OR find the proper information to accomplished this?
[MTCD Software Development] homer.ali:
Thanks so much for this app-- I can honestly see that it is a labor of love and it's much appreciated!

I was wondering if there's any way you can implement more keys into the keycode feature? For example would be great if I could map my steering wheel keys to any key that is available in the android keyevent page especially ones like KEYCODE_ASSIST or KEYCODE_APP_SWITCH.

I thought it would be simple enough to do it myself by modifying the keycodesArrayadapter file to include those keys in your array but alas, it seems it's a bit more complicated than that! :P

Back on 5.1 I used to just use an intent to toggle the recents apps and assistance request but as of 7.1.2 the recent apps activity no longer seems to listen for an intent to toggle recents (wtf google?!?)
[MTCD Software Development] bilaliz:
Hi all, i need some help with the latest release, I had it (i think release 1.2) working fine, but with the new more complex release i can no longer figure it out. a picture guide may be needed.

1- I want one button to start/launch my music player (stellio) and start playing, and when i press the same button again to pause the music play (this was workig before exactly like that )

2- I followed the picture guide step by step to setup forward and backward to separate buttons, but nothing happens, is something

changed in the latest release? is a new guide warranted?

Hi, I have a problem with binding on my MTCD HA PX5 unit.

I'm trying to bind the "mute" button on my steering wheel (mazda3 2012 - code of the button seems to be 299), but no matter what action I bind it does not change (currently it works as "previous" not sure why, that's why I'm trying to rebind it).

Hey, i only want to autostart an app on my xtrons PB96MTVPL with v2.58 but when I press "add new object" mtcdtools crashes and close.
[MTCD Software Development] Queta256:
i have ja Problem and i hope you can give me advise. I bought a XTRONS TE706PL.

I did add an app (blitzer.de plus) to autostart but the app doesn`t start even though it is listed in the autostart section. The app only autostarts when the car is shout off for a couple of secons.
[MTCD Software Development] Queta256:
Okay autostart works. But not in the auto sleep modus only when the radio is completely switched off :'(

but in this modus the radio needs 40 sec to start every time.

or did I do something wrong?
[MTCD Software Development] bettuccio:
So you confirm that the cause is MTCE? In fact I tried to assign a button and it did not work on Android 8. I need something like that without the root or hope that the developer updates his application.

How to enable next and previous also for radio streaming (e.g. being able to change among favourites channels in TuneIn or similar). I already set it up succesfully with KEYCODE_MEDIA_NEXT(PREVIOUS) with spotify but it doesn't work with radio apps.

Sorry if it's already been said but i didn't find the information.
[MTCD Software Development] Samoawbc:
I had this "problem" also with your Spotify only Version. The Service did not start if the unit is in spleep. I thought it was normal because viper4android have the same behaviour.

I Installed "pcv startupbuilder" (works only with root) all selected apps start right even the unit is just in sleep.
[MTCD Software Development] j2gifted:
Finally installed this.

It works with:

Spotify

Pandora

I Heart Radio

Stitcher

Im impressed

Thanks!
[MTCD Software Development] Fr4gGie:
Very nice, just tried it out.

It binds the key, but by default my button is bound to switch between factory apps.

How do i remove this binding from the unit?

After that i want to bind it to launch spotify.
[MTCD Software Development] f1x:
Try to change the behavior in factory settings.
[MTCD Software Development] Fr4gGie:
Should i try to remove the binding in factory settings or?
[MTCD Software Development] f1x:
Our devices have Factory Settings (password to enter 126) where you can define behaviors for hard keys. Try to enter it, go to key study tab, press your button and change the action to any dumy action (e.g. 1,2 - phone buttons). For a long press you can set mode to not lost this functionality at all.
[MTCD Software Development] Rexbron!:
It would be awesome if we can extend MTCD tools to output song information over CANBUS, like the factory apps do.
[MTCD Software Development] Fr4gGie:
Hmm, my unit is really weird and buggy in the key settings part..

Trying to change a bind, i loose all my touch functionality and have to reset my device.
[MTCD Software Development] f1x:
It works this way unfortunately. When you study at least one key, you lose "predefined" functionality and have to define all keys in factory settings by yourself.
[MTCD Software Development] f1x:
Hello.

MtcdTools 1.1 has been released. I fixed issue with persistence of the application after device sleep/wake.
[MTCD Software Development] CadillacMike:
Just tried it, works great but the download notification keeps coming back over and over again

Just to clarify that was before you just released this new version
[MTCD Software Development] dir3ctor:
Works nice for me! At last I can rebind dvd or eject buttons to some apps :)

It would be nice if app can check for updates or even autoupdate.
[MTCD Software Development] CadillacMike:
So I tried 1.1 and it still works great, but this seems to be persistent

Doesn't swipe away
[MTCD Software Development] f1x:
Since 1.1 service has been moved to foreground (according to android specification services like MtcdTools should work as foreground service). It gives higher priority to the service - it means android would not try to kill it until it would not be really necessary. Unfortunately, according to android spec, user should be aware about foreground service so this is the reason why you see this notification.

[MENTION=7621504]f1x[/MENTION] do you have any other suggestions on what I can try to get your application to work with doubleTwist? I installed your latest version yet it still does not respond to my steering wheel controls. Also there are no settings for the steering wheel control buttons in the factory service menu the only place you can edit them is in the wheel key study and even if I remove the binding from there it still doesn't work. I am using the 10-inch joying unit with the Malaysk ROM, so I'm wondering what is different about your setup as you are able to go to the next and previous MP3 tracks in doubleTwist and I cannot
[MTCD Software Development] hashtowent:
It works with amazon music and "3 aka cubed" - the ancestor of "double twist". hidden on google play.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.abrantix.rockon.rockonnggl

Very good to use with splitted design (left selection, right controls)
[MTCD Software Development] f1x:
Hmm, did you try other music players (e.g. Poweramp)? Are they working for you? Also it would be really helpful if you could provide some movie how you configure the MtcdTools (can be via private message) - it would be easier for me to find some clue then.
[MTCD Software Development] sterod:
I don't use any other music players, I only use doubleTwist. The configuration in your app is pretty simple I binded the previous command to the down arrow on my steering wheel control and obtain key input assigned number 299 to that command and the next command which is the up arrow on my steering wheel control was assigned 300, aside from that there isn't really anything in addition that I can tell you about how I configured the application. I can tell you that it is running as I see it in the foreground and it obviously it responds to the steering wheel controls during the configuration it just seems that doubleTwist is ignoring them
[MTCD Software Development] f1x:
It seems that you configured it correctly. For me, in case of doubleTwist, I can control at least mp3 playback. Could you please try to install and test Poweramp? Then we should know if problem is in MtcdTools or in other stuff.
[MTCD Software Development] sterod:
It works perfectly in Poweramp so I guess in the meantime I can use power amp as it does list and use the playlist that doubleTwist creates when I sync from iTunes however I would prefer to use doubleTwist if we could figure out why it isn't responding to the Keys on my head unit

Hello,

I own an Opel Astra J with an android HU, most of the physical buttons work from my entertainment system, i can map them , i can give them a function with MtcdTools but my issue is that it still picks up the command it had previously assigned.

So let's say i wanna press the NAVI button but instead of getting WAZE to pop up i get the Radio app and Waze. Is there any way to block the Radio app from starting ?

Or my Phone button starts Waze and Bluetooth ....i would like to to just start bluetooth.

Are you using stock android 8? I am using this without problems on Malaysk Android 8 ROM with MCU on mtce.
[MTCD Software Development] bettuccio:
yes I have Android 8 stock so without root. You are using MTCDtools and it works well did you say?
[MTCD Software Development] movieifx:
Yes. I'm using it on Malaysk px5 android 8 ROM which comes as rooted. I'm not using all features, basically to remap buttons to specific apps e.g. radio button to dab+ radio app. My unit was originally on an mtcd MCU version but I have upgraded MCU to mtce 2.8
[MTCD Software Development] bettuccio:
I had tried it and it worked well on Android 6 Malaysk. But now in Oreo MTCE he no longer reads the keys on the steering wheel. I have to check for an update of the MCU or need the root but I do not remember this.
[MTCD Software Development] bettuccio:
I updated the MCU and magically the button assignment is read now. But not all just some. Now I have to remember how to assign a long action or double click if it is possible to start another application besides the default one.
[MTCD Software Development] movieifx:
Have you checked the key assignments in factory settings. If they do not have a key assigned there, then mtcd tools won't have an underlying key code to map to. I changed the mappings in factory settings e.g. to change radio button to a number 1. Then in mtcd tools this can be bound to dab+ app instead of radio. So make sure the buttons are all set in factory settings first. Updating MCU might have meant you lost some of the base definitions for buttons.
[MTCD Software Development] bettuccio:
Apparently the physical buttons in the factory settings can not be changed on my unit. The only thing I can do is change car model and as a result only the functionality changes but you can not take action to set a new key because the panel does not detect any pressure. In reality it never worked, I had already tried a long time ago! At the moment I sacrificed the button on the steering wheel "phone / phonebook" to start Avin apk. Before I used xposed Edge pro with double click without losing the default function but now I no longer have the root. Despite this, I can force the phone / bluetooth to open if I repeatedly exit the new Avin key. So it can be fine too

---------- Post added at 02:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 AM ----------

Just to inform you: on the Play Store there are several applications like "button mapper button remapper" that perform some of the simpler functions of MTCDtools as a double click and hold to start any apk but the problem is that they do not keep the service in memory accessibility. Every time the car radio goes out of sleep, the accessibility service must be reset to "activate". As also happens with Tasker apk. MTCDtools is also fundamental for this reason because it is always active.
[MTCD Software Development] macandnews:
Hello,

I have an Erisin car stereo (KGL) that works with Android 6.0.1 and mcu MTCE and I can not get MTCDTools 1.9 running with PowerAmp.

I set MTCDTools, the previous and next steering wheel buttons are well recognized by the application, but if I run PowerAmp and I press previous or next, I just have a "Beep", but it is not pass nothing!

Before updating the firmware, I had the mcu MTCD and I used the version 1.6 of MTCDTools and it worked very well.

Can someone help me? Thank you.
[MTCD Software Development] danielloe:
my mtcdtools works fine with malaysk 8.0 but after sleep the STW-Buttons wont work.

only a complete device reboot fixes the issue... it seems there is a SIGTERM for mtcdtools while going sleep
[MTCD Software Development] skezza:
Did you ever fix this? I find that the steering controls work, but they simply override the MTCDTools on my Px5 running 8.0. It will register the button press and you can even assign an action, but what ultimately end up happening is both. So if I choice voice search for the button, the voice search will run, but the original function will also occur. So in effect, it is useless. Any ideas?
[MTCD Software Development] bettuccio:
in fact you're right but it only happens when you try to force the button. It can be a benefit if you do not want to lose the standard function. You can also use the pressure time to maintain 2 applications. I still could not do this.
