Hi ge-narses!

My unit is some chinesee no-name devices that is dedicated to BMW E90. I don't know the producer but it lookls like Eonon GA7165

To make it as efficient as it could be I make those steps:

Uninstall everything what is unnessesery for me - files, folders and apps, and some registry once it's rooted

Freeze or turn off some other apps so they not run at background

For expample at google maps app I disable all options that send some anonymous data to Google servers as well at the other apps

Basically i disable and uninstall things that i don't need to use and clear cache at least once at day. It works for me.

I really don't know is there anything wrong with your unit.. try to clean it, maybe this will speed up unit. :good:

Best regards!

Funny thing. Here is video what happened:

https://youtu.be/hkRVDUH0oRY

Acc voltage is present all the time on video, I realized something is wrong after switch to ignition. I checked reverse bulb and it was burned :D After replace bulb, everything is ok.
[MTCD Software Development] marganron:
is it just me, or after micro installing for Youtube. System a bit laggy and slow...
[MTCD Software Development] GoNzCiD:
Have you checked input video (rear camera) or braking signal?

Maybe you have a wrong canbus decoder or configuration
[MTCD Software Development] karolp1993:
Braking signal is connect to ground. Reverse camera works fine when I switch gear. I have not can(van) bus decoder.

Hello. Will this rom work for downgrading my Mtcd Px3 android 7.1?

Its an Eonon GA8157 with 2GB and its damn slow. I tried using malasyk, but it is still slow as hell.
[MTCD Software Development] tbmiso:
this screen is shown when AVin icon is pressed
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Probably not, I think the partitioning has to be modified for it to work.
[MTCD Software Development] Fakken:
Dammit. I have 3 friends with different android navigation systems, and mine is the slowest and the fastest "on paper".

Quad Core with 2gigs my ass :D.

One friend has Quad + 1GB, probably a chinese copy from aliexpress bought with 200$, and it works instant!

I made some research and i noticed that every navigation with android lower than 7.1 is working like a charm. All navis with 7.1 are very laggish and slow.

Its a little better now, after i switched to malasyk + microg apps, but i was expecting something better.

Another problem that i have: i installed kernel auditor, i set the min speed to 1400mhz + governor on performance + apply on boot, but after restart it doesn't stay. I lose all the settings i made.

Maybe its something with the kernel?

I mean, i'm not the only one with these kind of problems. Look at this guy, it works exactly the same as my navigation :))

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFt6nDH7lig

So, yeah, if anyone knows how to downgrade from 7.1.2 to 6.0/5.11, please, let me know.
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
There are no "copies" - all Android head units are Chinese.

If you have the latest Nougat RK3188/PX3 then it is deffo 2Gb.

You could repartition this ROM to work on Nougat units. [MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION] has released a version of the standard Nougat that works 1Gb Lollipop units, he is working on a custom ROM version for both Lollipop 1Gb and Nougat 2Gb units. So either wait for that or try removing the google play apps and installing microG instead, theres a guide in the MTCB section, pretty certain it will work on Nougat.
[MTCD Software Development] hans.vinkers:
Have you tried anything else then Google maps? I use igo and Sygic in my rk3188 and that runs a lot faster. I think I have a link for you for the igo version that came with my device. PM me of you want that
[MTCD Software Development] Fakken:
I said above that i removed all google related apps and installed microG. Everything works ok, but it wasn't that big of improvement.

I just hope [MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION] will be able to help us 7.1 users, forgotten by community :D, with a solution for downgrade.

It was a random video. I don't use google maps, but i just wanted to show you the kind of loading, lag, and choppiness i have on my navigation.
[MTCD Software Development] CadillacMike:
[MENTION=3148499]Fakken[/MENTION] I have a Seicane MTCD PX3 with 7.1.2, and I updated it with the PX3 update posted by Hot Audio.

It still is slower than my previous PX5 unit, but it made a major improvement on Google apps

[youtube]f5msX6X2avs[/youtube]
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Its not Seicane, theyre jsut a seller, the letters after "MTCD" or "MTCE" will tell you what unit it is.
[MTCD Software Development] CadillacMike:
Isn't that mindset not necessarily accurate anymore? I understand what you are saying, that gets posted on XDA all the time.

But aren't multiple MCUs cross compatible at this point?

I bought it from Seicane and it came with MTCD_KSP, but isn't there another thread on here that says I can install a MTCD_HA MCU and it will work fine.

And I have head units from Joying, Dasaita, and Seicane, and they are very different. Not just the software, but often even the physical connections are different.

Seicane appears to just sell random stuff, but it appears that Joying and Dasaita\Hot Audio sell their specific products.

I know Joying resells Joyous or however you spell it, but I don't think Pumpkin or Seicane or Ownice or whoever will sell a Joyous unit, so it is essentially a Joying unit
[MTCD Software Development] Fakken:
That is still slow for me.

Check this video out, and see how its supposed to load and move.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOwDEoKKJ08
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Most MTCD/E MCUs are cross compatible, however the letters are used to identify the original manufacturer.

You have a KSP unit, the fact that you can probably install another MTCD/E MCU on it does not change the fact that it was made by KSP. If you did install, for instance a KLD MCU then you would have a KSP unit running a KLD MCU.

All MTCB/C and MTCD/E units from whatever manufacturer will run any MTCB/C or MTCD/E ROM providing it matches the screen res and processor type - ie a KGL MTCD RK3368/PX5 unit will run ANY RK3368/PX5 ROM from any RK3368/PX5 MTCD/E unit.

Joying are also only a seller, they sell mainly sell units made by Joyous, but they also sell other units like the "009" MCU Intel units which are not MTCB/C/D/E.

Pumpkin sell mainly but not only Klyde units. Ownice are manufacturer and only sell their own units. I have bought Joyous products from sellers other than Joying -Joying are not the exclusive sellers of Joyous units.

Joying and Seicane also sell non MTCB/C/D/E units and the connections can be different between MTCB/C/D/E manufacturers, but they are still MTCB/C/D/E units if they have MTCB/C/E/E MCUs.

Hi all,

when I use Google Maps with this mod I almost always get the "Maps is not responding" popup after cold boot. However, it actually is responding and I am wondering if I can extend the period until that popup is triggered somehow. Any ideas?

- scurra
[MTCD Software Development] chandlerp:
I was just coming here to say the same thing. Usually about a minute into using Google Maps the popup comes up to say it's not responding.

Another issue I have is that bluetooth is not connecting on my phone. the phone shows up in Bluetooth app but it will not connect until I "forget" the device and have to pair it again.

Otherwise I'm loving the ROM
[MTCD Software Development] karolp1993:
I also have issue with Maps not responding. Bluetooth works fine.
[MTCD Software Development] chandlerp:
One other issue I have: I used Root DPI Changer and chose 180 as the resolution. Unit rebooted and it worked but I found everything a bit too small so I changed it back to the default of 161 but when I rebooted everything was still very small as though the DPI hasn't changed back. Root DPI Changer is showing the current DPI as 161.

Any advice?

Hello and a Happy new Year

I have intention to order a new parts for my unit

(something like this https://it.aliexpress.com/item/WITS...id=7c6ce96c-6d10-4404-8598-eaec2f3e1aa6&tpp=1)

I know there was a lot of discussion but sorry if I ask again (I don't want to make a mistake)

will this work to my unit ?

THX and sorry again
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Yes.
[MTCD Software Development] chandlerp:
I wiped my device and put this ROM back on after having issues with the DPI not resetting.

Now, I'm having issues with google play services saying it needs to be updated but refusing to update.

I started out using MicroG and when the issue arose I switch to gapps but I'm still having the problem.

I've reset it on the way to work this morning and will set it up again tonight.

So, when I first set it up should I update google play services before switching to MicroG?
[MTCD Software Development] Helgeo:
On my 7" 1024x600 unit the default DPI was 240 and not 161. Actually setting DPI to 161 will make everything smaller than setting it to 180. Try 240 and things should get back to normal size.
[MTCD Software Development] slavvun:
Thank You! :)

May I ask you a question?

Which version of Google Masps is default installed in v1.2? Today i update it to newest version but I really regret that. I need to downgrade Google Maps to its origin. I install many off apk mirrors from June 2017, but all of them wasn't default. I will be very thankfull if you let me know :)

EDIT: 9.01.2018

Hello,

Finally, I find a version that suits my expectations. I downloaded Maps in version 9.51.1 from April 29, 2017.

Perhaps someone will find this information useful in the future. First of all, I wanted to get rid of this annoying black bar (Set destination) from the map screen when it's in car mode. The older version was perfect for me, more readable than it is now.

Thank you and best regards :)
[MTCD Software Development] Helgeo:
I have a problem switching to microG, the first time I selected microG there was a dialog asking for permisson. I pressed no on this dialog as I decided to do the switch later. Now nothing happens when trying to switch - it stays on Google regardless of the setting. Is there a way to fix this without re-flashing?
[MTCD Software Development] martl1984:
Does anyone have a radio.apk, movie.apk, music.apk, bluetooth.apk in the colours RED/BLACK for me to download? For the MTCD, RK3188, 5.1.1

Thank you
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Download a ROM and extract them.
[MTCD Software Development] martl1984:
i can`t find any Rom with a Red/Black Radio App. Where can i find it?

Thank you
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
I think there a thread in the forum with some built in apps that someone has modified to be red.
[MTCD Software Development] Helgeo:
Cannot find the Font Size setting, is there a way to change it on this rom?
[MTCD Software Development] monkteo:
Helo I got the part and tools, tomorrow I will be an electrician.
[MTCD Software Development] stephanstricker:
Does this ROM support android auto?

Hello good people.

I'm experimenting with flashing my rom as the stock one was slow, crashes a lot and many times just refused to shutdown. However i think i did something stupid. Went into settings-about-update image. Chose checkbox accidentally to wipe flash. Big fingers:)

Now the radio only displays the logo but doesnt boot up. Tried tot go into recovery mode of the HU and chose install from USB and ...

Everything completed without errors, but still only the logo. Doesnt boot up. Do you guys have any tips for me or did i brick it already?

Hi Hal9k_

I have downloaded your ROM it and will give it a try on my existing RK3188/PX3/1GB MTCD system while waiting for the Witson 4GB/PX5 SoM.

I'll try anything to get some relief from this unbearable 1GB situation with the RK3188.

I have the Eonon supplied ROM backed up on my notebook just in case.

Will let you know how it goes.

Mike
[MTCD Software Development] semcoinc:
Thanks for the dmcu.img backup tip DudeInMyrtleBeach :good:

I did this before flashing to Hal9k_ ROM flash and it really helped to keep the previous settings and the update to his ROM went very smoothly.

The performance increase is very definitely noticeable.

All my BT and WiFi are functioning.

I am in the process now of reloading all my apps and maps, what a chore. But going much more smoothly with a higher performing ROM.

Somewhere along the line of reloading all my stuff, the APK Installer App has disappeared and also the Clock app and some other icons are not showing up in the screen. They were there initially. I will reboot after the iGo maps finish downloading and see if they reappear.

Hal9k_, it would be great if the "Overview" button icon in the top of the screen were available from any app screen so that one could scroll through to pick another app or shut them down without having to go first to the Home screen. Just a thought or maybe that can be done with your ROM?

I hope your ROM will work with the Witson PX5 RK3368 4GB Som upgrade that I have coming.

Also, I was able to load my google account and got access to the Play Store because it found some updates that I needed but I do not see an icon to open it later. And with the Apk Installer app icon missing I'm concerned about how to get back to it for later.

Listening and learning.

Update: I found all the app icons and Play Store. DUH, they were under another icon next to the automobile icon on the home screen.

ROM is running really well. Thanks so much.

Mike
[MTCD Software Development] masri1987:
what's this winston PCB upgrade y'all are talking about?

Also how are you guys liking this rom vs malaysks rom?
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
In settings (I think under "display") you can add stuff to the top bar.

Did you use the microG set up ?

This ROM will only work on RK3188/PX3 devices, not RK3368/PX5 ones, sadly - [MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION] doesnt have an octacore board.

The APK installer app is an unnecessary app from the factory ROM - to install apps in the "OEM" folder just go to files and navigate to "OEM" from there, click on an apk to install it.
[MTCD Software Development] semcoinc:
I don't know if I can insert links yet but this is the title of the thread on the Witson SoM board upgrade:

Available upgrade for MTCD Quad Core 1GB RK3188 to Octa Core 2GB PX5 Android 6.0

I am so blown away by Hal9K_'s ROM on my PX3 SoM that I don't think I need to look at anything else!

Mike
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Its a SoM upgrade.

The ROM is way better than Malaysk's I think, much less, garish.
[MTCD Software Development] semcoinc:
No, I did not change to the microG set up, YET! :) I wanted to stay with familiar Gapps to get my system up and loaded to back to where it was before I flashed with the Hal9k_ ROM.

I eventually found the APK installer app and with time and hanging out here and listening I'll learn more of these shortcuts that you experienced guys use.

That is sad news to hear that Hal9k_'s ROM is not compatible with the PX5 SoM. I will donate $100 to Hal9k_ to help fund the purchase of an Witson Ocacore if he will agree to develop a ROM for this PX5 board.

Hal9k_ - Please let me know if you would agree to do this and how long before you might have a production ROM available. If you agree to do this, I'll wait to install my Witson PX5 board until you have a stable PX5 ROM. You are clearly gifted in your craft and worthy of support :good: :good:

Mike
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Wow, thats generous, it will virtually buy a complete RK3368/PX5 SoM !!

He has also made Nougat work on 1Gb RK3188/PX3 units (previously it only worked on the 2Gb RK3188/PX3 units), theres a stock rooted/de-odexed version out already and he is working on a custom version currently.
[MTCD Software Development] semcoinc:
Hi typos1,

Hal9k_'s craft is impressive and I have a selfish self interest in a solution from him for the PX5 that I intend to buy.

It is so worth it to me to get this Eonon GA6166/MTCD_KBT box in my BMW E53 running swiftly and smoothly so that I do not have to tear out the whole interior and trunk area to install a new cable and head unit!

BTW, the Witson PX5 SoM is an Android 6.0 system so I hope that Hal9k_ can build for that system.

Standing by....................

Mike
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Yes, almost all are MM - so far only one person on here has the Oreo version and its not as easy to update to Oreo from MM as it has been to update other SoMs. People are working on it. If [MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION] does take you up on your offer he may well go straight to Oreo . . . if he can get it working.
[MTCD Software Development] masri1987:
Thanks y'all. Probably won't be doing the board upgrade because the head unit is tolerable with microG , as long as spotify , tunein radio, power amp and google maps run decently i can tolerate it.

Probably will be switching ROMs though.

I know typos1 is gonna flame me for this :D but anything I need to know before I go from Malaysk to this rom? (backup everything to sd card? it's a FUSE rom so...)

Thanks in advanced

---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 PM ----------

oh also, one last question, malaysk has xposed and i only use the volume bar mod, i assume the volume visuals on this ROM is stock?
[MTCD Software Development] karolp1993:
Even on this ROM maps or spotify freezes sometimes. I did upgrade few days ago and I recommend :)
[MTCD Software Development] masri1987:
Well i just installed ROM, seems just a bit snappier than malaysk.

A few questions, I chose microG ,but can't sign into Tune in radio... do i need to do google apps sign into tunein radio and then switch to micro g?

Everytime I try to sign into tune in it tells me "cannot reach tune-in" when i choose google..
[MTCD Software Development] masri1987:
Okay just to recap I got rom installed clean install. A few issues

Google play services is going nuts when using microg.

Viper4android seems like it's being over written by something else in the rom. I disabled the audio codec option in sound settings and I still have to turn it up to vol 30 level for it to even be considered loud enough.

On malaysk didn't have the viper issue and turning vol to 24-25 was too loud. Help plz
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
You can use Xposed, same as any other ROM.

I stopped using viper after doin the audio mod so no expereience of it on this, not sure you need it though - this ROM has some audio codec mods, but It hink you can turn them off, have a look through settings.

I ve got extra RAM so dont use microG, have a read through the thread. This is what [MENTION=3317979]john d[/MENTION]J says :

BEFORE YOU START:

1. With disable service app find google play store and disable the first 5 services from top including DailyHygiene.

2. Login to MicroG

3. In microG settings enable google device registration

4. Clear data on Google playstore or clear from recents

5. Enjoy fast 5.1.11. playstore (if not showing paid apps just restart HU)

dunno if any of that applies, I ve read that the microG app might need updating too.
[MTCD Software Development] masri1987:
Ill update micro G apps and go from there. I'll disable those services next.

FYI i use Viper4Android because of it's high pass filter is pretty useful. The embedded codecs in this rom is nice but doesn't filter the bass just to the subwoofer...

Would love to know how to completely write out the codecs because they are def overwriting Viper4Android's attempts -

Otherwise this rom is much smoother than malaysk , will skip on putting xposed, the volume bar mod isn't that much worth it

---------- Post added at 05:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 AM ----------

alright guys, just forget it, if i cant get Viper4android working then i can't have it in my life.

I have a harmon kardon system that came with my car, no aftermarket amp so, it's crucial to have V4a for more fine tuning.

Also, i can't figure out this microg issue , GPS isn't even working properly where before on malaysk I could at least use maps and it functioned, albeit the stupid google play svcs error.

Thanks for helping
[MTCD Software Development] semcoinc:
The Hal9k_ ROM is awesome and microG is great BUT, the loss of PlayStore functionality is a buzz kill!

I have tried all the guidance stated here:

BEFORE YOU START:

1. With disable service app find google play store and disable the first 5 services from top including DailyHygiene.

2. Login to MicroG

3. In microG settings enable google device registration

4. Clear data on Google playstore or clear from recents

5. Enjoy fast 5.1.11. playstore (if not showing paid apps just restart HU)

No Go on Apps that require Play Store. Get error to update Play Store and when you go do that, after the PLAY Store download it faults to a 505 error.

I even tried to use Yalp Store through Fdroid. Signed in to my google account in Yalp and still failure.

Who has the complete step by step recipe to accomplish this Play Store functionality?

Or is the workaround to just flip back to Gapps framework for Play Store functionality and updates then go back to microG? Even that will not allow some apps to run without “Play Store needs to be updated for this app to run.” So even that defeats some app functionality.

Mike
[MTCD Software Development] masri1987:
So I got Viper4Android working but still having massive issues with MicroG and Google play services error msgs ..

Edit: got V4A working by converting it to system app, didn't have to do this before but it's fine now
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
I suggest that you guys use google to try and sort out microG, I think it may need an update.

Theres also a thread on using microG somewhere in the forum (google "xda mtcd microG").
[MTCD Software Development] masri1987:
you're right.

I'm gonna hit up the microG thread.

But I do want to let you know, i'm back on malaysk, with microG and all my "google play services" error msgs are non existent on this ROM.

Not sure what is the difference, but there IS a difference somewhere, and i can confirm all my google apps are working as intended including maps, location and navigation with no errors. But i'm not feeling the rom as much as i did this rom :\
[MTCD Software Development] semcoinc:
Looked at google all this morning to find a solution to "Update Google Play Services" and no joy! :(

Was able to get Google Play Services update from Yalp Store and when trying to install get:

"x app not installed"

Looked in Google for that solution and found an APK Editor app solution. Deployed that download app and attempted to employ this solution according to this video:

[YOUTUBE]https://youtu.be/sW1JXPvyeuo[/YOUTUBE]

Again, No Joy!

microG is running very well and Play Store downloads are functioning and some updates have functioned as well.

Keep getting errors in menu bar to update Play Services or this app won't work and then another this app won't work. But the apps (Pandora and MyRadar) do indeed work but they keep populating the menu bar with error alerts.

Also another issue that appears in the microG self test is that the last box in the self check is not checked off : "Do Not Have Location To Test Geocoder", "Verify Location Backend"

I have both backend locations enabled.

Any solutions out there on any of these issues?

PS: this ROM is really quite good, I notice increased bass at all speakers even at low equalizer increases of the low end. I reduced my subwoofer volume to compensate for the higher bass thump.

Mike
[MTCD Software Development] masri1987:
you and I are having the same problem. I'll let you know if i come across any solution-
[MTCD Software Development] semcoinc:
Thanks masri1987!

I’m hoping this gets resolved and I’d really like to be able to use this ROM on the PX5 SoM that I have coming with 6.0

Mike
[MTCD Software Development] slumpz:
Come on, just update microg google services with the latest (non stable) version. It is mentioned at least a few times just in this very thread.
