∆This∆...there are also some of the very car specific settings in the hidden menus. What kind of car is it?

My climate controls are buggy as anything..

If I adjust fan the temperature, or turn on 'auto' fan speed, most of the time the climate controls won't even appear on the stereo. Even if I adjust the fan speed controls, it usually won't trigger the climate control UI, unless I turn the fan speed up/down a large amount (say, 4-5 speeds up/down).. very annoying.. is there is no 'bottom' climate control section.. Also, when the climate control do show on the screen, you can't adjust any of them on the touchscreen at all..

This is on a 2003 Mazda 6 'Luxury Sports'

What is needed to have this units supported by some of the well known launchers like Carwebguru and FCC Car launcher? I'm talking about features like volume, brightness change etc.
[Android Head-Units] wishie197:
Hey guys, I'm currently modding the TPMS app to make it better match the rest of the UI, bit when trying to install my modded APK it starts to install but finishes with "App not installed".. any ideas how I can figure out why?
[Android Head-Units] wishie197:
For now, all I am trying to do is swap out the default img_launcher.png (complete wrong aspect -- it gets stretched, looks even worse) for a new one that suits my car.. I'll attach both
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
From 4PDA ...

"Make a PNG image of 740 * 313 pixels and name it as ZXWLOGO.png .

Usually it should be a photograph of the vehicle that you want to put on the screen with a transparent background.

Place the image in the internal SD card (/ sdcard in the file manager), and the image will be displayed on the screen upon reboot. "

I use this online image resizer to get it right.

As far as I know it already is. I've used both and Car Launcher Pro. All are good but I'm currently using FCC Launcher (paid).

Just pick the one you want and install it from the Play Store. When your comfortable with it let it become your default home screen by selecting "always" when prompted.
[Android Head-Units] hapaman:
Both launchers have extended support for Rockchip units to control volume, brightness and so on. But the tesla ones are not suppported. Yes you can use FCC, like I already do but without the extended features.
[Android Head-Units] wishie197:
I'm wanting to change the splash screen of an app, not the unit itself :)
[Android Head-Units] wishie197:
For completeness, I'll show you the images ive changed on my unit, and list the mods done so far.

1) Changed the stereos 'boot screen' to the attached BootScreen.jpg

2) Changed the stereos 'home screen logo' to the attached ZXWLOGO.png

3) Modified EventCenter.apk to fix multiple typos and spelling/grammar mistakes

4) Modified MusicPlayer.apk to remove 'Lyrics', make a single colour, fix some spelling/grammar mistakes, enlarge font sizes, change font colours, change player control buttons and their positions

5) Currently trying to work on editing the TPMS app, but having issues when trying to install/update it after the mods.

PS: If you want to have a go at the modded MusicPlayer, you can checkout the git repo I setup, and build it using apktool

[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
I see. The developer of FCC Launcher seems pretty responsive in that thread. Have you asked the question there?

Edit:. I see you have and the OP responded. I too am interested in the extended support for these via FCC Launcher. Do you know what files he needs? I figure if he gets one from a 4.4 unit and one from a 7.1 unit he may be able to say yes or no on supporting T-Style radios...

[Android Head-Units] jmckeejr:
Is zxwlogo.png working on 7.1 units to change vehicle image? I did this and it only changed the boot image for some reason. I've copied the logos from logo folder and want to overwrite but without root I don't know what to do. Has anyone gotten root on 7.1?
[Android Head-Units] wishie197:
From memory, the Boot Logo needed a program to be installed to be able to change.. ZXWLOGO should be changing the image on the home screen
[Android Head-Units] scuzzie2k:
Speaking to this supplier who supplied your unit l33boy who I had already placed a order for

(cant post the link new user)

the 2GX32G is a 7.1 model but the 2GX64G is not although badged as one........ (this is the one I ordered)

l33boy does your climate work ok in your mk4.5 as I have the same model car as you with the MCA unit at present. How fast is the fastboot?
[Android Head-Units] jmckeejr:
The 7.1 units have an option in settings to select boot logo, it's the bottom option when press settings. There's also an option where you choose vehicles in mcu settings where you can pick logo but I think images need be stored in a certain folder because when I select "load..." It says no image found. When I put the renamed logo on sdcard and reboot the image is used for boot logo instead of vehicle. If I had root it would be as easy as overwriting a file.
[Android Head-Units] l33boy:
Hi buddy, yes I ordered the 2Gx32G as I specifically wanted 7.1 to ensure that I could update for a few years to come.

My climate works perfectly BUT it can be a bit 'glitchy' and sometimes doesn't come on automatically at ignition.

Sometimes I have to manually press the 'on' button but it always remembers my settings so it's no big deal, probably does it 1 in 5 starts.
[Android Head-Units] scuzzie2k:
OK Cool, will get them to send me the 2Gx32G model then :good: how quickly is it up and working when you swtich on ignition? does it display and sound the parking sensors? also what did you do ref ford GPS Antenna and Microphone?
[Android Head-Units] l33boy:
I think my 7.1 unit is actually rooted, well that's what it displayed when I ran CPU-Z

I can see the system files/folders from explorer
[Android Head-Units] Hammerhand.17:
Didn't you try any app that needs root? For example, Titanium backup?
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
You can see them but can you overwrite/replace them? I'll try CPU-Z on mine too which I know is unrooted.
[Android Head-Units] l33boy:
It can be playing music by the time I've started the engine, it's very fast to boot.

Parking sensors work better! There is a radar display on the screen that shows each sensors proximity.

The sounds are not affected at all as they come from a speaker behind the dash and a speaker in the roof lining

The car's GPS simply plugs into the unit so you don't have to use the one that comes with it.

The unit has a microphone on the trim panel but I have wired in the cars mic by soldering a connector to the back of the unit and extending the microphone wires that go into the old bluetooth module above the glove box.

I removed the BT/VC unit and sold it on ebay.
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
Can you post a picture where you soldered the microphone?
[Android Head-Units] l33boy:
Good question, I've only ever copied the files never tried to overwrite.

I would like to change the boot logo and the car picture but haven't got around to it yet. Currently shows a MK4 rather than a MK4.5 facelift Mondeo.

I want to find where the current images are and alter them rather than making new one's
[Android Head-Units] scuzzie2k:
Ah cool i have the colour converse+ so i get the radar on there too. I have ordered a convertor as I thought the GPS was a Fakra connector? Do you have any information ref the microphone where abouts is the BT/VC unit? is it easy to get too and is it easy enought to identify the microphone input? appreciate your help :)
[Android Head-Units] l33boy:
Don't have any pics but it's really simple to do, the mic is in the bottom corner and soldered to a tiny PCB.

Un-solder the current mic, cut a 3.5mm stereo cable and solder it on... I then covered it in epoxy putty so I couldn't accidentally rip it off :)
[Android Head-Units] l33boy:
Yeah mate, it has a Blue FAKRA connector already on it... plug & play :)

You need to drop the glovebox out and the black BT/VC unit is up inside the dash.

There is a lot of info on talk Ford about the connections, like here
[Android Head-Units] scuzzie2k:
Brill Thanks :)
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
Ok, that's what I did. I know some folks are doing it at different locations so I just wanted to see what you did.

I'm having a strange problem now though. I replaced the microphone with a different one. Originally it worked just fine but now it only works if audio is playing on the radio.

In other words, if I play a song I can start up my voice recording app and it will record my voice AND the song playing in the background but if I'm not already playing audio the microphone will not record my voice...

Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem could possibly be?
[Android Head-Units] mrkricfalusi:
Just had to update to the 7.1 from Phoenix.

Well my unit was running great on 4.4 on my 16 f150. I was car type f150 lo.

Tossed the new board in and soldered everything up but now it thinks it's a nissan rogue, screen was orientated upside down with the touchscreen sensor flipped 180 degrees vrs the display.

Fixed the screen already, displays correctly "that was a pain!" But i cannot set the car profile. I can change it to other vehicles but the f150 lo profile acts like it doesn't exist. I have changed the car type to multiple different cars, focus, explorer. It changes the boot, car picture on the home screen but i i try to select f150 lo or even high it complains there is no boot image & just reboots back to what ever the last car type is.

So is there any way to get an update file or rom that has the car type & profile for the f150 lo because it seems like they did not add that to the feature. Would love for my ac to work lol. Have bugged Phoenix but their tech support hasn't been helpful.
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
Yeah, go to their Facebook page and scroll through their posts. There will be a link for your correct firmware with or without additional themes.

---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

It's possible though that they sent you a unit with the wrong MCU version. If firmware doesn't work they'll need to replace it or provide you with the correct MCU update.

From experience with Dylan, it would be easier to have them replace it than try to trouble shoot with them.
[Android Head-Units] scuzzie2k:
One last thing sorry lol what does your converse dash display when you use things on the radio?
[Android Head-Units] l33boy:
Don't have a Convers cluster, I have the one with the smaller red lcd display. The unit doesn't display/talk back to the cluster like the MCA2 did but then it doesn't matter when the screen is so big :)

Apparently I can simply change out the cluster and it will work but because there is no satnav or music info displayed now, I don't think I'll bother.
[Android Head-Units] jmckeejr:
I wish this were the case, I can see the files and copy them but won't let me overwrite. Tried King root without success. I was wrong on previous post, ZXWLOGO.png does actually change the vehicle and you can select boot logo via settings easily. I just didn't reboot, I thought it would reboot when I started truck again.

Has anyone found a root solution?
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
So I checked root on my 7.1.1 unit and two separate programs report root is available...thoughts?
[Android Head-Units] jmckeejr:
Maybe try to install superuser app (SuperSU) so you can allow access to apps? That would be great. I wish King root would work but it says network error
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
I'm gonna give that a go tomorrow (although I'm not hopeful)...I am curious why these apps would think the radio is rooted though.

BTW'm SitKneelBend on the Ram Forum. Have fun on your trip!
[Android Head-Units] jmckeejr:
I figured as much. Lol. I use the same username across the web so I'm easy to find and keep track of. Check out any apps that need accessibility service and let me know if they are staying enabled also. I need Velociraptor for Google maps but it won't work without that setting (plus Automagic)
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
I own the same username on this site too but I cannot for the life of me get access to it...I got impatient and logged in with Google.
[Android Head-Units] l33boy:
Yeah, tried mine last night and no joy. Changed the boot image through the settings menu though.

I'll try the SU idea tonight.

I also tested my drive speeds and the internal memory is pretty good at an average of 40MB/s Read & write.
[Android Head-Units] scuzzie2k:
Do you have the USB Dab adapter mate? if so which one did you go for and is it any good?
[Android Head-Units] l33boy:
I do have one but never got around to trying it as i never listen to radio.

Sorry mate

Ah ok, which one did you get? I have autodab at the moment with my MCA and the reception is shocking.... Just working out if its worth getting as I do like DAB.

[Android Head-Units] klain13:
Hi guys, I finally found the right forum, I know XDA would not betray me. I recently bought this car radio for my mitshubishi outlander of 2008. I state that before this I had another 2 Chinese car radios, one with lollypo 5.1 and the second (which I had been replaced) with Android 7.1. Both the previous ones just bought and mounted, they worked without any problem, I had also mounted on the Malaysk roms and they were exceptional.

With this I'm having problems, first the steering wheel commands do not work, I do not set them;

When I turn on the car I hear a rustle at the speakers that lasts even a minute and then if I turn on the radio or the music, the sound from the speakers can not be heard. Obviously not working the speakers, the speakerphone does not work, but this problem is not always, the speakers work sometimes and sometimes not. Today I contacted the dealer who told me to check the wiring of the wires, but the wiring as well as in the previous radios, are obligatory and is also present the canbus box. He gave me the code to enter the advanced settings and tomorrow I'll try to see if maybe something from there is disabled.

Here below the pictures of the characteristics of the radio.

Any advice or help?

hey

i have a buick lacrosse 2010 with this phoneix tesla unit and the unit started to cause a problem (as shown in the next video):

https://youtu.be/aLPrIUaed1Y

(it doesnt shiw in the video but the screen goes black after that)

it happens very often. it happen in the other way around too -

sometimes when i start the car the screen is black but after a while (up to an hour) the screen starts to work)

the manufacture tried to help abd sent me an update which didnt help - same problem.

in order to send this unit to the warrnty it will cost a lot becuase ill need to change to the old unit and back and that will cost money

do you guys know what can be the problem? only you guys can help.

Hi all, only my second post. I bought one of these units and had several issues with it so returned it and purchased one from a different seller.

The issues I had were:

Car launcher or any launcher looked good but didn't really work ie music would play through launcher and radio at the same time

The dials showing speed with the car picture kept disappearing for a second then it would re-appear, very annoying

The usb with music on would sometimes not work

To make a call you had to have the volume so high that if you forgot to immediately turn it down after the call it would hurt

Anyway The one I have just received from a different seller is pretty much identical with the same faults lol

Its a 7.1 fast boot (when it feels like it) both units always booted to file manager with the prompt to upgrade to premium which really annoys me, no matter what screen I'm on when I turn the car off.

If I could get rid of them silly dials and car picture it would be great but I think they are there to stay. I have seen people with pictures of digital version which look much better through nova launcher but I have nova launcher and can't find how they did it.

I know I can change the picture of the car and have the png file, however it is meant to go in sd card file but mine does not have one. Only usb and general, does anyone know if it can go anywhere else?

Cheers
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
The local storage on your radio is the SD card storage. Place the file in the root of the storage and leave it there.

As far as I know, all sellers are selling identical radios and might have different firmware but the firmware from one seller will work on another's radio.

My fastboot radio does something similar at startup. It always opens to the language selection screen. For you, try unplugging your USB drive (if you have one plugged in). That may be why ES File Explorer is opening at startup.

I get around most of the a annoying things on the stock launcher for now by setting Black Player EX as my Navigation App, then setting the radio setting to launch NAV on startup. That way I don't see all of the annoyances as much.

In addition, you may have better luck with 3rd party launchers if you go in and remove the "draw over other apps" permission from the stock launcher (Index.apk). It will still run in the background, but won't draw over the 3rd party launcher.
