Awesome rom

Hello,

I have one head unit lying on my kitchen table and I have been tinkering with it these past couple of days. Goal is to perform the 7floor's audio mod. I tried to install the xposed framework before I knew it cannot be done, so I ended up having a boot loop. I had to find new firmware to install and I'm very, very glad that I found yours Hal9k. Thank you. Install was easy and no problems occurred.

1. But I have a strange problem with the A2DP app. I can find the app when using stock launcher but when using carwebguru launcher the A2DP app is not anywhere to be found! Could this have something to do with the rom or is it the different launcher to blame?

2. And there is no app to use AUX input(only sound) if I'm correct? Could you add that to the next release or point a direction where it could be found. If the A2DP audio quality is better than it was in my stock version, I probably won't need AUX though..

3. I have a tuning knob for radio and in stock rom EQ app was launched when pressing it. Now it cycles through preset EQ mode. Do you know how I could get it back to launching EQ app?

I would prefer if you could modify or use some other launcher than the one you have now. It's annoying to have all the blank pages in the home screen.
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
AD2P is available in the BT phone app - on some ROMs its a separate app on some its integrated with the BT app.

You can change the functions of the knobs and buttons in factory settings.

You can use any MTCD/E launcher you like, you have to put it in system/priv-app using root explorer or similar and set permissions

I have a Witson unit. I can enter recovery fine, but everytime i try to update, it fails. Same issue if i update from Settings menu.

It says wrong image or image not found.

I tried to put the dupdate.img in 2 pen drives, and on an SD card, with same results.

any ideas what could be wrong?

thanks
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Have you tried downloading the firmware again ?

[MTCD Software Development] _javi_:
thanks for the tip.

the CRC32 for the dupdate.img on the pendrive is: D9EB6106

the file unzips direct from a rar downloaded in first post. (Version 1.2 from Google Drive,

Hal9k_Mod_1.2_MTCD_RK3188_1024x600_800х480_eng.rar)

i will try again, redownloading..
[MTCD Software Development] drizzor:
Great Rom! Thanks. Is it possible to run Netflix with this Rom?
[MTCD Software Development] _javi_:
This is my unit...

but as i stated before.. any form of update fails... (from SD or various pen drives, all FAT32 formatted)

i can enter recovery mode, same issue.

if i update from settings menu.. the dupdate is found, unit restart.. and then fails again.

[YOUTUBE]HVYnI4aThWM[/YOUTUBE]

the dupdate.img CRC32 from rar file is the same as the one calculated from file in pen drive, so its not corrupted.

Is there any special option that enable updating in WITSON HUs??

thanks for your help!!
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Not sure why that is happening, but you dont have a Witson head unit, they are only a seller, you have an MX head unit I have successfully updated my MX unit before. Have you downloaded the ROM again ? Have you tried naming the update nupdate and dupdate ?
[MTCD Software Development] _javi_:
well.. i had another SD left in the other slot and that was causing troubles.

with only the SD card with dupdate.img the flashing started... i saw some mounting errors but it continued.

after a while it rebooted and its stuck in car logo..

i reflashed and after a soft reset it´s starting ok!

thanks for the help!
[MTCD Software Development] _javi_:
is there anything to fix or change in WIFI settings?

although i can connect to the router, and it has a strong signal.. i can hardly navigate. It seems its not connected, although the icon is on in the status bar.

Sometimes it connects and sometimes it just say "saved" in the list of available networks.

everything was working fine before the Hal9k install.
[MTCD Software Development] Kheissi:
microG

How did you update your google play services? I got it to update once but I had to reflash the firmware and now the stupid service won't install the update. It gives error 505. I changed to microG. With Gapps all good.

Tried rebooting, stopping all google apps but nothing works anymore.

I got the xposed framework install as well.
[MTCD Software Development] ngmatrix:
Thank you. This build works sweet !!

I was able to successfully flash the firmware and its up and running smooth. And thanks a ton for getting this build and the unit is responding much better. :good: Was almost looking for option to make upgrade to PX5 if that was possible. But I think I can continue with current hardware.

Although with Google maps, I still feel some lags even with microG enabled. Anything recommended to check ?
[MTCD Software Development] _javi_:
Is there any way to enable inmersive mode without installing an app (like Power Toggles) ?

thanks for the rom!
[MTCD Software Development] j2gifted:
I just installed the rom..

I only have 1 issue. My browser [stock and chrome] doesn't detect my SD card anymore. When I try to download an app, I get an error message saying I don't have one.

Before, my downloads used to save to the internal memory.

What changed? How do I fix it?
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Did you wipe cache/data after installing ? If not thats your problem.
[MTCD Software Development] Phycopat:

Why not ?

By the way, this is written in the installation instructions.

Yes.

Hi [MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION] I was advised that your ROM should work on my original PX3 chip 1Gb Android 5.1.1 its a MTCD_MX_v1.73_1 Witson was the brand, long story short the software is buggy and I get random freezes on my Radio App and time to time using Bluetooth, [MENTION=456516]typos1[/MENTION] said your new ROM should work on my HU but I cant seem to find it, Apoligies I totally new to the forum and it like a minefield, Thanks for any advice and help.

I'm running on the PX3 1Gb model, I have ordered the PX5 system from witson so I can get 6.1 installed and hopefull date that to the latest version as the ROMs seem to be easier to identify if they work or not.

Ok, you can flash this ROM on your RK3188/PX3 unit.
[MTCD Software Development] justice4eire:
cool, when I get home from work tonight ill install this rom and see how it goes, thanks lads
[MTCD Software Development] DudeInMyrtleBeach:
So I was about to order a PX5 head unit to replace the HA 10.1" RK3188 based head unit I have in my 2015 Mazda CX-5. I stumbled over this thread over the Thanksgiving Holiday, and decided to give this ROM a shot. I'm glad I did! First thing I did was to find the latest MCU code for the unit. It ended up being the one listed for the PX5 unit and listed as for MTCE units. Based on evertyhing I had read, MTCD and MTCE head units pretty much have the same MCU so I gave it a shot. It worked fine. Then I installed this ROM, following the instructions in the first few posts in this thread. No Bluetooth devices (phone, obd2) found. I had forgot to clear the cache. Did that, and it worked flawlessly. I also installed the JY steering wheel control app/driver and that gave me the ability to control PowerAmp with the steering wheel keys.

With MicroG enabled, this is like a brand new head unit. Even in Google Maps navigation, the response is vastly improved!

Couple of notes -- make sure you go into settings and backup your mcu settings. If you put them on the same USB drive as the mcu update, it will install them. All my CANBus settings were retained including Bose amplifier controls, wiper settings, Auto headlight power, etc.

Nice! Thanks to [MENTION=472138]hal9k[/MENTION] -- and [MENTION=456516]typos1[/MENTION] as I've followed some of his recommendations as well!
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Great, glad youre happy.

Just a couple of things though - MTCD and MTCE units are exactly the same, MTCE is simply a software update and there are no "PX5" MCUs - all MTCD/E units use the same MCU, whether RK3188/PX3 1Gb L, RK3188/PX3 2Gb N, RK3368/PX5 MM or Intel Sofia.
[MTCD Software Development] justice4eire:
Thank you so much lads [MENTION=472138]hal9k[/MENTION] and [MENTION=456516]typos1[/MENTION] - Installed the update last night the HU is working 10x better than it was before, The Radio App now gives me info about the station "presenter etc" but its been fault free and what is more impressive is that the HU is responsive now, Thanks lads

Lightning Fast Rk3188 1GB Head Unit!

Hello everyone,

I finally got around to installing this ROM onto my Eonon GA2154 Headunit, RK3188 with 1GB RAM and 16GB Flash Memory, MTCD.

My Reason for installing this ROM was the stock one provided by the manufacturer was often slow and laggy to respond, launching of some applications took in excess of 30 secs (e.g. Spotify would take up to 2 minutes to fully load sometimes, compared with Google Music which took 30-40seconds). My 2x main music apps are Google Music and Spotify, and I found they would lock up, become unresponsive and crash too often. I generally stream my music, by using the HeadUnits WiFi and connecting to 4G portable hotspot I have in the car.

Initial ROM installation was a breeze, no hassles, I couldn't find USB port 1, so just used port 2 which is on the front of the unit.

Very responsive and my launch time for applications like spotify was less than 10 seconds (Huge improvement!)

I love that the Volume indicator colour is now white and a slightly larger font, makes it easier to see.

I can definitely notice a difference in the sound, like it has been tweaked in software, but it is really good and i like where the levels are set (might have to check my gains on my aftermarket amplifiers!)

MicroG takes the Headunit to a new level, spotify launches in less than 2 seconds with MicroG enabled and is Very responsive.

I'm still testing out some other features but so far it is excellent, really appreciate the effort that has been put into this ROM, and love the fact my headunit is more useable now compared to stock!
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
The ROM comes with some sound mods, you can adjust them further, if I remember correctly theres an entry in settings/sound.
[MTCD Software Development] munio.pl:
Hi folks, it seems that this is the perfect thread for users who are looking for performance rather than fireworks. I am using this rom for a few months and this is the best one I ever had. I see that some users are fully satisfied with performance of their HUs and others who still have some complains (just like I have). Maybe the problem is that we are all using different builds/versions of Gmaps, spotify etc. - I assume that it would be good to try to find the best build for our HU - one which will need as low resources as possible (I do not need any new functionalities in maps or spotify, I am satisfied with the current set). I am not an android fan/specialist, so I am asking you. Is it worth to try?
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
To get the best performance you should use microG.
[MTCD Software Development] munio.pl:
I am already using microG, but still - spotify and google maps running at the same time is the max of my device (switching between these two apps takes about 4-5 sec and responsiveness of google maps is really poor). Any additional app is too much.
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
You have 4 options then : wait for [MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION]'s Nougat version which is being developed as we speak, or upgrade to an RK3188/PX3 2Gb Nougat SoM, an RK3368/PX5 2Gb MM SoM or an RK3368/PX5 4Gb MM SoM.
[MTCD Software Development] munio.pl:
Thank you for advice. Which one will be compatible with Hal's rom from this thread?

Hi. My HU sometimes displaying wallpaper after boot up. I can use buttons, but wallpaper is stuck on display. Also how to change the radio stations frequency to not lost it after reset HU?

[MTCD Software Development] 7ok1ns:
Hi Hal9k_ I've installed your Rom and I can't find the app to watch TV.

You could add it in future versions.

And you would know where I can get the stock rom app.
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
You need to enable TV in factory settings, then it should appear. There are several TV options in factory settings so if you dont know which tuner you have you will have to try them all.
[MTCD Software Development] moneyvirus:
Hopefully someone could help me.

I'm really loving this rom really well build an rock solid.

I really would like to use TomTom go.

I managed to change the device number to 3189 and I can install the appf from the Playstore

But when I add the line with the serial number there is still my orignal long serial after reboot, not the shorter one as hoped.

Does any of you know an other way to change the s/n?

[MENTION=6041319]dsa8310[/MENTION] is the guy to go to when it comes to using TT on these head units. He has an MTCB unit so doesnt post here, I am sure his solution would work on MTCD/E units. I would pm him or ask in one of his threads about it.

Hi all. I am very delighted to have found this mod after being pretty annoyed by my Xtrons Head Unit which is very slow even with some freeze Google Apps tweaks.

I am with my family over the holidays but I don’t have the tools to take the head unit out of the car and in front I only have SD slots. Is it reasonably save to upgrade via SD card or is it likely to brick the unit?
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
You only really need to do it via usb if it doesnt work via sd card and mostly in my experience it works fine via sd.
[MTCD Software Development] scurra86:
Hi, I just sat in the car for an hour and can’t see how amazed I am. 1000 times thanks to hal9x. This is how the unit should have arrived. I switched to microG and now everything is super smooth. Also, google maps works like a charm and even with Voice Recognition which did never work due to the unit being too slow.

In case someone wonders, you can also switch the language to German and also text to speech without a problem (extra download).

Some follow up questions: Since everything works so great I am a bit shy to sign into my account and the play store. Can I do this and use the regular play store to download eg. Spotify or Navigon or should I avoid signing in at all and install a secondary store such as Aptitute? What do you think? Edit: Signed in, Play Store restored my purchases without a problem. Downloaded Spotify as well. All excellent. Disabled auto update just to be sure. Everything still fast.

One small thing: when I tried to download mtcd tools I could not with the Browser app as it said I had no SD card. Other apps eg. Spotify seem to recognize it. Also remounting did not work.

Another remark: I also do get the problem that NAVIGON is stuck on load (black screen as mentioned in this thread). I am not sure if I should re-flash or live with using Google Maps. What option should I choose for re-flash? Or is there a less invasive solution to the Problem?
[MTCD Software Development] karolp1993:
Hello everyone. I've still got problem with Google Maps. When I try to navigate, arrow just stay in one place and not move. Maybe someone got an idea what is wrong?

I installed 9.46.2 version and connect GPS antenna :D works fine.

Thank You for this mod!

Hi there!

I register to this forum to say how grateful I am for this mod.

My Android unit was so slow that i considered to throw it away and buy new one. Earlier it was tragedy, for example it tooks about 40 seconds to complete boot. Google Maps needed about 5 minuutes (!) to run as well as YouTube or the other Internet app. Unit lagged so offten that I stopped counting. So basically it was totaly useless.

I found this topic with Hal9k mod and I decide to try Install it.

Install process was really easy even for someone who has never done such things. And i really can't believe my eyes after first boot with this mod. It was so quick and efficient like never before. So the fun has begun :)

- Time for complete boot - max 4 seconds

- Google Maps boot - 5 seconds

- YouTube boot - 5 seconds

- Audio quality - thanks to audio codec it is amazing upgrade to my stock speakers. You cn really hear the difference

- Just 1 lag after over a mounth of use

- Double space of internal memory

- Basically it is much faster. I can smoothly change app within seconds

If your unit is slow or lag very offten don't think twice, just install this mod. It's easy and completly save. For me and my android unit it was perfect sollution. Now i don't think of change it anymore becouse it works like a charm. Just start my car engine and 5 second later I can ufe of all profit that radio should give me.

Many many thanks and Happy New Year to all! :)
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
[MENTION=8817687]slavvun[/MENTION], Thank you for such a flattering review.
[MTCD Software Development] scurra86:
No, I chose the flashing option that said delete. And did nothing else. What should I have done and can I still do it?
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Generally after flashing ROMs its best to wipe data/cache even if you ticked the option for it to be done by the flashing process.

You can do it now but you will loose all your data.
[MTCD Software Development] scurra86:
So just go to the recovery mode and select the wipe option without flashing? Maybe hal9x should add that step to the manual.

Thanks, scurra
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Yes, do it from recovery.

I'm having this problem now.

I spent quite a while trying to figure out, but it is still a mystery. My unit was on Hal9k mods for many months and all was working well including GPS sound mixing. Then I decided to try Malaysk's rom and had it on for 2 days. Not satisfied I am coming back to Hal9k rom. Suddenly found out GPS sound is not working anymore. I flashed with a new version of mcu, but the problem persists. Tried many different navigation software and the issue remains. Flashed back to the original vendor''s rom, and there is no improvement. It seems to be no solution for the problem so we have to live with it. Potential root causes are:

1. The unit suddenly becomes defective after more than a year use.

2. Firmware affected after using Malaysk's rom.

Hope it is #2 and someone can find a solution.
