I have no idea how I bought one of theirs which consequently did not work on my ATT network here in the US. And even without the network working the unit never recognized the dongle. They claim they work but I am really starting to doubt that, I have been talking to Xtrons support back and forth for over a month.
[MTCD Software Development] SomebodySysop:
Thanks for feedback. I did not realize that's how it worked. I guess we need software which will support bluetooth dongle with pan on Android.
[MTCD Software Development] OrionBG:
The link that you gave is Not for WiFi USB dongles but for 3G/4G USB Modems. Those are very different that a USB WiFi card or a Bluetooth USB dongle.

In theory, if you somehow completely disable the integrated WiFi and Bluetooth controllers, you may be able to use USB ones, and only if the ROM has drivers for the specific USB cards/dongles.

Malaysk should be able to shed some light on what is supported and what not.

I have an issue where the front rear fader control on my speaker setup within the amplifier all keeps reverting back to centre..or at least bias leaned towards the rear speaker. Once I go into the smilies app and move the fader forward and back...it sets it back to the position I set it to earlier. Anyone have similar issues and know how to fix?
[MTCD Software Development] Splashsoftware:
I have experienced the same problem with my Xtrons unit. It seems to forget the fader settings and in my case puts the sound in the front left. Just moving the fader slightly resets it to the correct value. It looks like the location of the fader is being set correctly (since entering the fader screen shows the correct location) but the amplifier is not being given the correct values.
[MTCD Software Development] sirleeofroy:
I also experience this "drifting" of fader settings, it is mildly annoying but far from the worst thing that could happen.

Don't suppose anyone has any ideas what could be causing this and more importantly, how to fix?

nice rom but i it misses some good laucher as in the PX3 rom for android 4 and 5

I tried co create my own theme using APEX pro laucher but this launchers misses some widgets specially for car use such as:

- radio widget

- music (player) widget

(or better media player widget which display and control all multimedia info of car radio)

Also the rom misses the following function/options:

- build in autostarter, an autorun app what actually works, so an option to start apps on boot and/or resume after acc off/on. I tried several 3th party apps such as: autorun, tasker, autostart and pvc startup builder but none of them work with this rom or PX5 board. None of these apps start apps on boot (using this rom which is rooted and has xposed)

- better/nicer launchers with full multimedia info/control and also dispaly car info such as speed etc.

Did you get these widgets?

I also am looking for them, i use the APEX (pro) launcher and it does not have radio, music and BT widgets.

So i am also looking for these widgets.apk if someone has them.
[MTCD Software Development] Bose321:
I've made an app which might help you: https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/...-development/app-fm-radio-controller-t3625038

This will make controlling the radio easier.

As far as widgets go; install a random media widget from the store. Good media apps (like poweramp or google play music) can then be controlled by these widgets ans media buttons from Android because that's built in the OS. With my app the radio info is pass to the OS which means those same widgets then show the radio info. So you don't need the default radio widget. ;) "Ubiquity Music Widget" or "Media Utilities" should do the trick.
[MTCD Software Development] croatia1:
I wonder if it's anyhow possible to mod the FM radio app so, that the stations are shown as in BMW, Audi or VW radio?

Like you have a list which is keeping updating every let's say 5-10 seconds, and where every channel + RDS is shown, so you can quickly switch between channels.

Example in BMW

Example in Audi

Would be grateful if anyone knows, if this is possible.
[MTCD Software Development] B3rt:
Thx, tried all suggestions but none of them worked for me

The 2 widgets apps only show 1 source, this is mostly the radio app, not the music or dab app

note: i want to use the default media apps, not 3th party apps.

So still looking for the original widgets so i can use them within the apex launcher.
[MTCD Software Development] stinger4321:
thats how mine looks with rds on. but annoying because station isnt shown very often.. and most rds are just ads.. so they are super long

Radio Frequencies and Bluetooth

I purchased a px5 unit from xtrons, had some problems with sd reader backed up apps with Titanium and sent it back. Received a new one, flashed with Malaysk's rom and restored my apps and data (not system) using Titanium backup.

I have two new problems:

1. Radio frequencies are off (I've only checked AM). A station that is at 600 shows up at 603 on radio. Station at 870 shows up at 872. Can someone tell me if this is a software or hardware problem, and if software, how I can fix?

2. My bluetooth contact first and last names are smudged together (see attachment). Same question: Software or hardware problem, and how do I fix.

Other than that, unit appears to be working fabulously with Malaysk's rom.
[MTCD Software Development] Nomader0:
About names.. I have this issue often.

What solves the issue:

Unpair

Sync contacts

Sometimes you have to repeat. It is a hit or miss.

Hello everyone, I just wanted to make a query I bought a PX5 machine and I installed this rom it is normal that in the menu of the control of the steering wheel this is empty icon. Thank you very much Malaysk for your great work and Sorry for English.
[MTCD Software Development] Nomader0:
If your unit uses canbus it is normal. The steering wheel controls are hard coded and can not be changed.

Your only bet is to use f1x's mtcdtools which works fine on PX3 and PX5
[MTCD Software Development] Roli06:
Hi thanks for your answer, then it does not matter if you have a can decoder bus? The radio comes with the connects2 ctsrn003 specific for my car
[MTCD Software Development] semaj4712:
There is a custom mtcmanager.apk somehwere in here that you can use to keep apps like tasker running on powerdown and then use tasker to open or resume apps on boot. Thats what I do

Also just find another launcher you like and use that, I use nova launcher and it works great.

Issue With Radio App

I have a problem with the radio app where the frequencies on the dial do not match the actual station frequency. A station I know is at 600 appears at 603 in app. A station I know is at 870 appears at 872 in app.

Is this a hardware or software issue. Can I fix it? Is this app modified at all in Malaysk's ROM. Can I uninstall and re-install the app? Any guidance would be appreciated!
[MTCD Software Development] semaj4712:
In the settings somewhere, I think under factory settings (password 126 I think) you can change the settings for radio frequencies, I would just check to make sure this setting is correct, might have changed at some point thus giving you this problem
[MTCD Software Development] SomebodySysop:
Well, that was easy. I'm in California and my settings were for Europe. THANK YOU!

Bluetooth OBD and Phone

I cant delete the devices i have paired with the px5. And also when i click on the obd device it does not open the pin code.

Someone knows help?
[MTCD Software Development] SomebodySysop:
I have the same exact problem. Tech support at Xtrons says their px5 unit can't be BT connected to phone and obd device at same time. What the hey!!??

The bluetooth sees the obd2 device, asks to connect, but doesn't pair because (I assume) it can't see/send pin code.

There also doesn't seem to be a way to unpair a device in these bluetooth settings. I unpaired my phone, even turned it off, and it still shows as paired in px5 bluetooth settings.

I hope Malaysk could possibly address these bluetooth issues in upcoming ROM?
[MTCD Software Development] Nomader0:
Same problem here.. unpairing is impossible.. and using OBD and phone at the same time is impossible.. it can't handle it. PX3 handled it OK. Obd can be paired OK as long as the phone is disconnected. I will try more tomorrow..
[MTCD Software Development] HopeSlayer:
Try the Bluetooth app instead of settings. I have the Volsmart px5 and can pair/connect to OBD and phone at the same time.
[MTCD Software Development] wobbletop:
The bluetooth app doesn't help with my KGL. The settings page gets further and asks if you want to pair, but that's as far as it goes.
[MTCD Software Development] Nomader0:
I only use the Bluetooth app. The Android settings don't work 99% of the time anyway.

I will try tomorrow more, as I only tried to connect the obd today. In PX3 it use to work OK.
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
On the bottom.button for the bluetooth app you have the settings of the bluetooth connection. There appears which code is predefined. Change it to the one needed for your obd device prior to connect it.

Then do the search and you could pair

To delete a paired device use the bin trash icon that illuminates once a paired and connected device is selected. If not connected you can't delete it

Appreciate the response. Not clear about where you're talking about. Bluetooth settings? Bluetooth dialer app? BT option in factory settings? And also, are we talking about changing the bt pin code if px5 unit to match that of the bt obd device? Could you pls send a screenshot of the screen you are talking about?

Sorry to be so dense, but I've not found anywhere this process is explained, and it is far more complicated than with a normal phone or tablet.

Thanks so much!

You should be able to set default apps if you got settings >apps then click on the music app then click clear default. Then click on a mp3 file. It should ask which app you want to open and set as new default

Hey Guys, I can't believe I've not noticed this since I've installed Malaysk's ROM v2 but my FM radio does not pick up any radio stations...... At all.

v1 ROM the Radio scans and picks up many stations as you would expect but v2..... nothing at all.

I've checked and double checked the connections because I have an antenna amplifier for the DAB+ but that works fine and everything worked fine before installing v2. Would there be something in the ROM that would stop the radio working/picking up stations?

ES File Explorer

ES File explorer is installed by default in Malaysk's ROM. I wanted to put all my music on usb flash drive. However, when I connect drive to my px5 unit, and consequently every time it boots, I get message to allow use es file explorer as default app for the drive. I can either allow it or cancel out.

Consequently, this screws up some tasker tasks I have running as well as it does not allow the system os to mount the usb drive -- so es file explorer can read it perfectly but not my music player!

I have uninstalled es file explorer to resolve the problem for now. I was wondering if there was some setting where I could prevent this prompt from popping up every time I insert a usb flash drive, or every time I boot up with a flash drive inserted.

How do you handle the pin code? I keep reading posts about it can be set somewhere, but I don't see it for the life of me. I have obdlink lx that just won't pair because it's asking for a pin code I can't match.

Which obd device do you have? Maybe I can change the classification of mines to match it: http://www.ampedrftech.com/cod.htm

My Bluetooth OBD dongle uses the pin 0000. However, when I paired it using the Bluetooth app on the PX5 (this is the dialer app, not the android system Bluetooth settings), it paired without prompting for a pin at all.

Are you getting an "enter pin" prompt in the Bluetooth app?
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
On the Bluetooth app like this image.

The button from the bottom left allows you to change the pin code for pairing with different devices

Is your MCU updated to the most current version?

In the Bluetooth app, I click the magnifying glass then under available apps I click on OBDII, then on the right I click the connect icon and it pairs and remains paired without asking for a pin.

I think all these OBDII readers are the same. I would order a newer one just because they are smaller than the one I have. I don't think it will fix your problem though. If it doesn't you can return it if you order from Amazon.
[MTCD Software Development] SomebodySysop:
I just received this unit about a week ago, so I'm assuming it's the latest mcu. The manufacturer, Xtrons, says you can't have 2 BT devices paired a the same time. Maybe they aren't lying.

Anyway, again, thanks for your responses. I may just have to wait until they issue an mcu that does allow multiple devices (and entry of pin codes).
[MTCD Software Development] HopeSlayer:
I would update the MCU. They have fixed bluetooth problems with the update. Follow this guide https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/.../comprehensive-updated-mcu-list-mtcd-t3476880

With nothing paired to your head unit, in the Bluetooth app when you click on the OBDII and click the connect icon does it stay in available devices or does it move up to paired? I think you should not have anything else connected via bluetooth to the head unit when you are pairing devices. When the OBDII and my phone are both paired it only shows the phone as being connected. But when I goto Torque it connects to the OBDII even while I'm listening to music from my phone with the A2DP app. Hope this makes sense.
[MTCD Software Development] dodec:
Thank you. now i can pair my obd device with the px5. But i does not communicate with torque. i see a "OBD" logo in the statusbar but torque says there is no obd device connected. i delete my phone and obd. then i connect the obd via bluetooth app.

you know help again?

is there a way to use obd and phone at same time?
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
In order apps could detect your paired obd2 [MENTION=1431586]Graser[/MENTION] created an app based on xposed (you need root ans install xposed) to remove the limitation that developer imposed in order to only allow obd2 connections on those obd devices that their Bluetooth name started with "OBD". In my case (vgate icar3) it is named as "V-LINK".

If you have the last 12/Jun Dasaita Rom publiahed, I did check the class and method in which the obd limitation is imposed and I feed the graser's xposed module with that data to work.

I know it seems simple when you know what you're doing, but it's the most complicated thing when you don't.

For example, you say:

OK, but where, exactly? The attached screen below is the only place I see to put a code in the bt app, and that code is specifically for the hu unit. And, I can't actually change it here (if I change it and come back, it is what it was originally). I can only change it in BT settings. And so, what I am doing is changing the bt pin of my hu to match that of my obd device?

Second,

First off, what obd settings, where?

So, as the person above says, if you made a step by step tutorial, it might be helpful if you could share the link to it.

Hello [MENTION=3590033]Malaysk[/MENTION],

i am extremly impressed by this awesome ROM, it works Flawless on my Dasaita 8core and solved alot of problems i had with the device.

Never the less, there is one issue i still have, and i was wondering if you can help on this.

I bought an RJ45 to USB Adapter, to connect my Car Head Unit via USB with my Router. This works out of the box, but sadly many apps, ignore the Ethernet communication or recognize it as a LTE/3G Connection and refuse to download big data content.

Would it be possible for you to implement a function into your ROM, that we can "Mask" the Ethernet connection as a Wifi Connection so that the Apps do not complain anymore? Similar to what the Emulators on the PC are doing?

Kind regards and keep up the amazing work!
