[MTCB Software Development] Oldpapa49:
Ok, I decided that we need to collect the different ROMs made by the DEVs and sort them into 1 place.

What I like to do here is to try to explain the different ROMs Kit Kat and Lollipop by Malaysk, ###8310 and Booroondook.

And while we now know that MCU's need to stay via KLD, KLD2, KLD6 etc, you can upgrade within those parameters with only changing factory settings (KLD6-V2.83 to KLD6-V2.97 is ok)

I have played with these roms and follow an certain rule.. Before you go from Factory to a custom rom, take pictures of settings and factory settings.

Don't update unless you are sure you know how to revert back. Know what buttons to push. Know what screen resolution your unit is! All those minor points.

All the roms we are talking about look like a filename as "update.img". 4.4.4 and 5.1.1 all for MTCB and MTCC are called out this way. I do believe MTCD is something different (dupdate.img ???)

MCU for MTCB and MTCC are "mcu.img".. and are found on the file servers as KLD?-V2.?? .. sub your version (others are available)

The fileserver can be found under typos1 name on most posts. I will link it soon.

I would suggest you read his very informative wiki as well.

Malaysk (MTCB 4.4.4 and 5.1.1) is probably the most popular ROM here. He and like the other DEVs make the ROMs to their liking's. They will on occasion add suggestions to the ROM image if they think it is beneficial.

Malaysk and ###8310 (MTCB to MTCC fake out via xPosed does a reboot once to complete loading) will have 2 files to chose from which are for resolutions. 800x480 and 1024x600. Choosing the wrong one will make the your display look awkward. (reason to know how to get back into recovery if you make this mistake)

Booroondook has a setup that creates the resolution size, thus 1 file to get and run and answer questions.

Bloatware may be added to customize roms. The reason they are customized.. Right Even factory roms have it, don't like it.. well...

So little memory, so many apps.. 1g, 2g.. well Malaysk does the FUSE trick which opens up the full memory. Booroondook, I don't recall, maybe maybe not. ###8310 has it set to 3g right now I think, but I think there might be choice of default.

Malaysk has customized Launchers. JY5.1.1 typically (one other too)has a speed display on his 4.4.4 and 5.1.1 roms

Booroondook has a few and DSA8310 is mostly clean and factory based (Klyde)

###8310 uses what factory firmware uses. The Windows like and some other with the old time flip card time piece.

You may install the rom image via MicroSD card (plugs normally into the GPS slot) or the USB port 0 (Normally the Mini port front plug thingy behind the door)

If you have update.img with mcu.img, both will get programmed to the device.

If you are going from factory to any rom, you should do the wipe data/factory cache option after the rom is flashed. You can do this anytime after the reboot. And the 1st reboot takes a long time.

If you go from and DEVs rom to another, do the data/factory cache wipe option as well, in fact you can do this anytime you update.

Stopping here since at work and will edit and add later. This is the start.

##8310, Typos1 and others, I like input..

If you had a problem and fixed it, let me know

Hands Free Messaging

If you want to hear and reply to messages on your radio from your cell, get the app from Google Playstore readitotme and install on your phone

Under Profiles: Make sure you link it as "CAR KIT" and enable it

And set to BT Mono

If you want voice reply, enable that (you get 2 weeks free) and you'll need to download addition app

It will automatically use your Messages app on the phone for the app. So under the Apps, do not enable it.

But you can select additional apps and how you like to hear them Header, message etc

Under Contacts, you can also what to hear.. One area has ALL, so selecting anything under that will enable ALL contacts with that feature.

Other features and more stuff are listed, but this should work fine.
