What size is good? I couldn't find any measurements. Shall i remove the factory installed heatspread and add the heatsinks direct onto the CPU or add it on top?
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
You have missed something, the RAM upgrade threads, for one thing and the fact that RAM can be unsoldered and replaced with different chips.

Thats not a RAM upgrade, its a SoM upgrade.

There are threads on heat sinks and its a good idea to install one, whatever temperature the cpu gets to.

Glue isnt a good idea as these units are installed in cars, physical fixings are best, along with some thermal paste.

KGL rom

Hello Malasky,

Please could you tell me if that is the update for the KGL (ERISINS PX5) launcher and where will i find the download.

Hello everyone, how do i get into the MTC manager interface? I installed the module but there is no interface. Xposed MTC are 2 different modules? I installed both but only xposed MTC has the interface for the changes. It's my first unit with MTCD I still have difficulty understanding.

[MTCD Software Development] ArtfulCodger:
Which as discussed previously is your opinion. And as stated previously not only by me, the thermal arctic silver glue is an epoxy and will not allow the heatsink to come adrift....end of story...mine is on a HU that goes off road over very rough terrain and it is as solid as a rock...mind you I know I will not be able to remove it and I'm happy with that...
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Others have also agreed with me - physical fixings and proper thermal paste is the best way to go.
[MTCD Software Development] Bose321:
Duh. But a while back some people said it's not easy to do. Sure it's possible.

And using glue is fine. It's as physical as it gets. ;)

---------- Post added at 07:57 ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 ----------

Nonsense. There is no best way. Using adhesive paste means it will never come off. You'll ripp the som of the board before it will let go. I'll bet it's better than a physical fixing.

I've installed a sidebar app from the Play store. Works fine but everytime the HU comes out of sleep mode (when car key is inserted), the app has to be manually launched again. i have white-listed it on Graser's Dasaita Tool but that isn't doing anything. Any ideas?

Also, where can i get the default GS bluetooth apk from?
[MTCD Software Development] Bose321:
Anything from Arctic Silver or something like Thermaltake should be fine.

There is no need to 'update' MCU if on MTCE version. MTCE is already an updated version of MTCD and they are cross compatible. I installed malaysk fw 6.2 into MTCE unit (MTCE_HA_V2.71_1) without updating or downgrading my mcu.

I have recently have many issues with crashes. The screen does not react anymore. Also the Volume keys do not work. The radio keeps playing though.

I am on v6.2. What could be the reason/what can I do?

Greetings,

[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Lol, no, cos its a C500, not MTCD/E.

No one is suggesting a heatsink will cure any bugs, but it will help the processor run cooler which is better for performance.
[MTCD Software Development] stinger4321:
What antennas sockets did you use? Any improvements in reception?
[MTCD Software Development] iwl:
Where that performance is lacking?

Stop that bull**** and put energy in the real problem.

Complain Complain Complain.
[MTCD Software Development] SkyBeam2048:
The cables are soldered to the board and attached to standard SMA plugs I mounted to the unused DTV on my unit.

Its not the sockets which make a difference. Its the antennas and their location. I initially directly attached 2 old 2.4GHz antennas saövaged from an old USR router. This worked pretty well but later I bought some +9dBi antennas and placed them right under the center scoop of my Subaru. So they are now directly underneath the windshield.

And yes, the difference is huge. With the stock wire I had issues connecting to my wifi even if the car was literally parked underneath the access point. Now my AP is in a room 20m away with another garage and 3 cars in between. I could not even see the access point in this location fom the unit before.
[MTCD Software Development] Bose321:
Uhm......... lol?

When a HU is running hot it will throttle back and it can even freeze/reboot or whatever. So yeah, if you're having overheating issues, a heatsink and/or a fan will help that.

Who said a heatsink would fix bugs? ;)

I've read that android 8 (oreo) is available now for px5 units. Are you already working on a new malaysk rom?

I think I'm not going to upgrade at this time until your next release is coming out.

Please be careful with upgrading to oreo. It seems not to work at the moment on px5 units. I'm not responsible for any mistakes or bricked devices!

1 Din retractable

Hi, I'm looking for a retractable 1 din device which supports Malaysk Rom

I've found this on Ebay : link

Will I be able to flash this device with malaysk 6.0.1 rom ?

If not, do you have links where I can buy retractable 1 din devices which support it ?

Thank you very much
[MTCD Software Development] SkyBeam2048:
No you won't. Unfortunately the device you link is an Allwinner CPU based solution. So it's neither PX5 nor PX3. You can't install Malaysk ROM (which is made for PX5/PX3 Rockchip CPU) on it.

I googled a bit for PX5 retractable single-DIN head units but the only options I came up with are some Joying units which are not retractable but only detachable. I didn't find any retractable unit with PX5 or PX5 SoM yet unfortunately. However the 1-DIN Joying units might actually be an option if your dash allows a detachable screen setup.
[MTCD Software Development] soekhainas123:
Great ROM. Is it possible to tune The screen off? Like in standard rom? I tried several things but No result. Handy when driving at night... maybe you guys can help me out.

[MTCD Software Development] maximedu33:
Thank you very much for your answer !

1 Din Joying units fit in my dash so I think that I will buy one of these.

I've found this

Is that correct for Malaysk Rom ?

Thank you !
[MTCD Software Development] SkyBeam2048:
Yes I think according to the description it's PX5/2GB/32GB based. So yes, Malaysk should be just fine for this unit.

However the Joying units don't seem to use an MTCD MCU based design. Does anybody know or confirm that those Joying units can be used with Malaysk? The ROM will for sure run on PX5 board, but do all the audio/USB and other functions work properly? Perhaps someone can confirm.

Edit: The more I read about it the more I think those devices are not MTCD and likely Malysk will not work on them either, even though the SoM (PX5) is the same.

I also found this one which is a KLD Single-DIN unit with retractable screen and from the description it seems to be PX5/2GB based and likely MTCD too (however you might ask the vendor to send screenshots from the system settings screen to confirm it's MTCD).

[MTCD Software Development] ArgonautPollux:
Is there going to be compatibility in the future (or is there now) for the new units with 4GB of RAM and shipping with Android 8? They claim they use PX5.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/7-O...r-Stereo-With-4G-RAM-32G-ROM/32846366287.html
[MTCD Software Development] SkyBeam2048:
There are new PX5 boards with 4GB RAM marketed now which can be used to upgrade existing MTCD units. Those PX5 boards are usually still sold with Android 6 as of now. It's been reported that those PX5 boards have a new hardware revision but this might be mainly related to different memory chips. On those boards it should be possible to install the current Malaysk ROM.

In addition to this we are seeing PX5/4GB based MTCD units appearing on the market which are pre-loaded with Android 8. Like the unit you referred to.

We currently cannot upgrade (neither from PX5/2GB/Android-6 nor from PX5/4GB/Android-6) to Android 8 as we do not have an installable image. It's also not clear if upgrading without further hardware modification will be possible. Stay tuned, developers will investigate and try to come up with a solution as soon as images are available. I personally guess that we will be able to install Android 8 on any PX5 board in the future (both, 2GB and 4GB).

At the moment also Buyers of PX5/4GB/Android-8 units cannot install Malaysk (at least we believe so at the moment) and they cannot get root on their devices yet. So If you go for Android 8 you will have to keep it stock for a while. We expect custom ROMs based on Android 8 to appear as soon as the first firmware images appear.

At the moment you have to decide when you buy the unit whether you go for Android 8 or Android 6 with no possibilities to up/downgrade at the moment. As said this is hopefully subject to change soon.
[MTCD Software Development] ArgonautPollux:
Thanks for your response. I'm putting the unit I linked to in my car because I figured if I am going to make the plunged I want the 4GB of RAM, might as well. I figured since Android 8 is much newer there likely won't be root figured out for a while. If there's anything I can do to provide information from the unit that's needed for your ROM that I get please let me know.

Can I ask how you powered your fan? I added a few heat-sinks to my system and although now it runs much smoother, temperatures do go up to 110-115 degrees Celsius after a hour or so.

As soon as I get the dongle I will try out.

I've got some problems with different ones, e.g. the Huawei E303 if it falls back from 3g to 2g networks. Then sometimes my unit freezes so I have to reboot :(
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
No, that unit is NOT compatible with Malaysk's ROM, it not an MTCD/E unit, you can tell by the interface. DO NOT attempt to flash Malaysk's ROM on it if you have it !!

If its not an MTCD/E unit then the SoM will not "be the same" - the processor used on it may indeed be the same, but the SoM will be totally different and its unlikely that any MTC ROM will run on a non MTC SoM even if they do use the same processor. For instance, there are many Android head units using the RK3188 processor other than MTCB/C and MTCD/E units, such as Ownice, Newsmy Carpad. None use the same SoM and none have ROMs that will work on any MTC unit, nor will any of the ROMs from them run on MTC units. These units use the same processor, but mounted on a different SoM.

If its a Klyde it will be MTCD/E - the only Android head units Klyde make are MTC units.

BTW [MENTION=3556393]SkyBeam2048[/MENTION] - [MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION]'s excellent Lollipop ROM (easily the best if you haven MTCD/E RK3188/PX3 unit) uses the Klyde screen control icon we spoke about a few days back, it works on all units regardless of whether they are Klydes or not, so theres clearly somethng that can be made to work. fortunately you may have to ask him how he did it because he only makes ROMs for the RK3188/PX3 SoMs as he doesnt have an RK3368/PX5 unit - shame, hie ROM is so good.

---------- Post added at 09:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------

There are RK3368/PX5, there are lots of devices using this chipset, not just MTCD/E head units.

Thats not photoshopped from Xtrons, those images are images provided to Xtrons and other sellers by the manufacturer.
[MTCD Software Development] SkyBeam2048:
Sorry to bother you again then. Do you think then that this unit is an MTCB/C/D/E unit which can run Malaysk?

The reason I am asking is that I am also confused by the connectors. However 1-DIN units will have to have different connector pinouts than 2-DIN units just by physical dimensions.

You said Klyde only does MTC devices. So this one is a Klyde and therefore should be compatible. It's by the way the only Klyde 1-DIN unit with retractable screen I could find. So either this is an exception to Klyde MTC platform or it's compatible.

What do you think?
[MTCD Software Development] TheKeymeister:
Just updated from version 4 to version 6.2...I changed cars a while back and only just fitted the MTCD HU to the new car.

For some reason I can't install any apk's, I have enabled unknown sources, but when I open the apk, and it comes up with the permissions, the 'Install' button does not work, only the 'Cancel' button. I've tried going through ApkInstaller and same happens.

Any ideas on how to solve this? It may just be me being stupid but I can't figure it out.
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
I said that "the only Android head units Klyde make" are MTC, I didnt say that "Klyde only make HTC hed units", they also make non Android units.

I dont know what makes you think that the connector need to be different or have different pinouts for double and single DIN, they do not have to be and they are not. Unless something is lost in translation and by "connector" you mean something else ?

The unit in the picture is a Klyde MTC head unit

---------- Post added at 10:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 PM ----------

Sounds like a screen problem, maybe it needs configuring (in factory settings) ? A short term fix would be to use a usb mouse.
[MTCD Software Development] TheKeymeister:
That was my first thought too, but that area of the screen works in the launcher and other apps....I will try configuring the screen anyway just in case and also try a usb mouse.
