This thread is dedicated to Mod 1.x Android 5.

You can find information about Mod 2.x Android 7 in corresponding thread.
[MTCD Software Development] melvinfox:
I absolutely agree but I have problems with 1.3 as this one succeeded with the update but then it failed to boot.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
I did not understand this from your message. Then make a bootable SD card, the same as for installing the 2.x. But use the firmware from this topic.
[MTCD Software Development] RChaloner:
Fix worked for Xtrons MTCD GS and Bluetooth and also TomTom

Thanks Hal9k,

Installed your ROM yesterday, no errors and the Bluetooth is saving it's name and PIN without any work from me and connected first time which is great.

The TomTom serial number workaround appears to be working too as I am now downloading a map.

One question regarding Bluetooth and wifi;

It looks like the BT-connected icon only displays when I also have Wifi connected, as both show, but if I then disconnect the Wifi, the BT logo also disappears, although the BT is still connected and working, so I think it is only the control of the icon that may be wrong?

I will test again today and confirm.

Thanks,

Richard.
[MTCD Software Development] melvinfox:
[MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION] just to clarify Rockchip Create Upgrade Disk Tool is the tool to make bootable SD, is that right?
[MTCD Software Development] Dukenukemx:
Which MCU should I upgrade for my stereo? BTW, thanks for the rom it works great so far.
[MTCD Software Development] RChaloner:
Follow up ...

Hmm, unfortunately today when I test, I get no Bluetooth connection at all.

This is the same as the original ROM, which gives one good connection after full reset, but nothing on 2nd attempt.

Any thoughts on this issue?
[MTCD Software Development] dude-nl:
How can we change settings of the new update? There are no new options in Mod settings. Of are they forced?

2nd question.

Somebody now how to disconnect bleutooth when going in sleep mode. When I'm home and the unit is in sleep, my BT keeps connected and my phone makes calls over the carkit :)

Kind of annoying :)

Do I need to use tasker or automate it?

Last time I tried one of those, they didn't work in the Rom.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
It looks like it's a bug. I'll check.

Yes
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
Latest, 2.80

Have you tried another phones ?

Default settings for the new options are automatically set
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
[MENTION=6785396]RChaloner[/MENTION], Most of all, it looks like a hardware failure.

HERE WeGo distorted sound

Hi, is anyone using HERE WeGo in OREO? I'm getting distorted sound when using the regular voices (not TTS). I only wanted to know if this issue is due to the firmware or specific to my HU. Thanks!
[MTCD Software Development] melvinfox:
Hal9k_ I used this sd firmware tool and prepared both an microsd and usb stick drives. None of them worked. In both cases the radio simply booted and got stuck at boot logo.

--- edit---

I managed to probably make the sd card bootable for Android but apart from black screen (so even no Lollipop logo) nothing happens. When I take out the card from the slot it immediately boots up to Lollipop and then boot logo.

Please help :(

--- edit ---

I used SD FW Tool by Sonualok which had SDBoot 1.02 which probably was the reason why it did not boot. I downloaded version with SDBoot 2.13 and it worked. I finally have recovery mode! Only concern is the error "Can not found firmware image or invalid image" even though I am positve about the fact of having the img file on the sd. I tried both on USB stick and sd cards in all possible slots.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
[MENTION=9264485]melvinfox[/MENTION] The SD card and USB drive must be formatted in fat32. The dupdate.img file must be in the root directory.
[MTCD Software Development] melvinfox:
Ok I finally managed to make this freaking update! Thanks Hal9k_ for your support here!!!

Last question of mine. Is it worth upgrading to 7.1.2 (I have 1GB Ram version). I've read about video codecs problem but I mainly use Spotify and Radio so it doesn't matter much. I aim more at stability and performance?
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
[MENTION=9264485]melvinfox[/MENTION] You can try. At your own risk.

Android 5 is more stable, because it is designed for your HU.
[MTCD Software Development] Musicman1973:
Where can i download Version 1.3.2 OTA-package ?

I dont have Internet on my Radio !
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
I did not envisage such an option.

Maybe you can temporarily share the Internet from your phone?
[MTCD Software Development] RChaloner:
Download to your PC from the link in this thread, then transfer to your HU via SD card slot or USB memory stick, or;

Download via data on your GSM phone and again transfer as above, or;

Download to HU via wifi connection to your house network or any other you are permitted to connect to.

These files are large, so PC & SD card or wifi to PC are favourable.
[MTCD Software Development] dude-nl:
Any chance that song info overlay for Deezer will be included so an overlay (like radio channel) will show up when song switches. I like that to see which song is starting when using Tomtom or something.

You told me to look in to it a few months ago but I guess you're to busy :)

Still looking for a way to disconnect my BT connection when HU is in sleep so my phone will disconnect from the HU.
[MTCD Software Development] Pngkrt:
Added ability to adjust navigation volume in phone mode.

Please can anyone tell me how can i adjust (increase) the navigator volume?

After the update the barasoft igo crasses all the time. Any advise? Or where can i download cracked tom tom for this rom?
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
In settings/gps, for TT you need the TT workaround.
[MTCD Software Development] GoNzCiD:
Hi, what's the TT workaround. I have tried to modify a lot of parameters of volume settings but I would like to make it louder

Thanks

[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
It involves the serial number, I dont use TT so dont know much about it, but its been mentioned in this thread, so use the search function also look in mod settings app.
[MTCD Software Development] mac73:
I installed the ROM, but I can not view the internal memory and therefore the navigation apps do not work. How can I solve? Thank you
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Go into recovery and wipe data/cache.
[MTCD Software Development] GoNzCiD:
I know about how to install it. But I was thinking about a mod/workaround to get tomtom voices louder, and I don't find it.
[MTCD Software Development] mac73:
I have the recovery version without wipe data / cache. :crying:
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
You cant have installed the ROM then as it comes with a recovery with a wipe option. Try updating to the latest MCU..
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
It can not be :eek:

Show a photo of this strange recovery.
[MTCD Software Development] Pjotrowski:
google maps navigation does not move.

Today i wipe data / cache and start without microG - navigation mode in google maps works.

When i switched to microG again the position does not move.

In older version 1.1 everything works fine.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
Try to use older version of the microG.
[MTCD Software Development] mariuscov:
The HU had to be rooted before flashing new ROM?
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
No, this is not required.
[MTCD Software Development] mariuscov:
I installed this rom but the resolution is 1024x800 and my device are 480x600. how I can change it?
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Read the Cross Compatible MCU thread, there is info on how to change the screen res, its not related to the ROM on MTCD/E units, its related to the MCU.
[MTCD Software Development] khorh:
Is it possible to minimize phone menu during phonecall (like in Hal9k mod with android 7)? It is helpful during navigation.
[MTCD Software Development] Vasconia:
Hy Hal9k, does this ROM has the spanish language?thank you my friend!
[MTCD Software Development] teddyking:
Latest Google maps shows it need playstore to update. I tried to update but it failed. I'm with microG now. I'm very satisfied with the speed of Hal9k 5.1.1. Is there anything to do with playstore?

or should i go back to previous version of google map?
[MTCD Software Development] slumpz:
Yes, as microG is now obsoleted
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Is it ? Since when ?
[MTCD Software Development] teddyking:
I rolled back to old version of google maps.

Google maps 9.26.1 is quite light and fast.

I just keep away from updating.

That's ok for 1GB head units.

[MENTION=2841326]emarcin[/MENTION] This is very "strange" application.

It immediately tries to find the bluetooth devices through the Bluetooth LE, without even checking that it is not in the device.

In addition, it does not attempt to connect to already paired devices.

I think you need to contact the developer of this application. Say that many well-known applications already work on our HU except yours.

A list of programs that I posted are just programs that I checked. This does not mean that they only work.
[MTCD Software Development] emarcin:
Ok I will the mail to the programmer giving your remarks.

I thank for the deboted time.

[MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION] System is running great with MicroG services, no lag at all. I liked all the modifications and Screen lock (i was in desperate need of it as car service center guys always play with My Car radio, every time i gave m car for service)

Only problem is:

Google Maps is continuously showing error "Google Maps not responding " on MicroG service.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
[MENTION=6273325]prmah[/MENTION] Have you updated the Maps for the latest version ?

In the microG self-check all the check boxes are on?

Does this mod do auto brightness, night/day? I am using KD factory ROM and have to turn down brightness at night every time.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
This is stock built-in function, that already present in rom. It's controlled by head lamps. You can set day/night brightness separately.
[MTCD Software Development] stefcio007:
Oh ok, the head lamp function doesn't work for me. Wanted something that changes brightness based on time of day and location.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
I saw a program with such a function in Google Play. In the evening I'll take a look. [MENTION=2238164]stefcio007[/MENTION] you can try this app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.lux
[MTCD Software Development] Alhaddad:
This app only applies filter on the screen to make it look dimmer, but the brightness will still be high.

i'm also looking for a way to actually lower the brightness before the tearing starts.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
You can turn off the filter but turn on the backlight control
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Over on 4pda.ru someone has made modifications to the hardware to enable the screen to get brighter and dimmer.
[MTCD Software Development] makes2068:

Just finished installing it from the USB drive, the process went smoothly and I was shocked how fast the system is working now! Great job!!! And thanks also for the instructions about microG, got it configured the first time.

Yes, sellf-check all check boxes are on in the upper half. I have also configured UnifiedNlp Settings and turn on Mozilla Location Service in "Configure location backends" and Nominatim in "Configure address lookup backends". Now all the check boxes are on in self-check.

The frequency of error in Google maps reduced but it came two time in 2 hours of map usage.

Lets wait and see if anyone else sees the same issue or else i'll do a clear data and retry the setup again.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
[MENTION=6273325]prmah[/MENTION] You must remember that microG has the status of a beta version. Therefore, I installed Gapps by default.

Perhaps you will find a solution in the microG thread https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-microg-gmscore-floss-play-services-t3217616 and tell us about it.

Here wego maps

Hi, [MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION] your ROM is great.

My Joying head unit 1gb ram is still vital and alive thanks to this rom.

I have one question, maybe someone else had such a problem. I wanted to install Here WeGo maps, so I have downloaded it, installed and run it, but then it posts android message (something like) " please check if the sd card is placed in your device, then restart".

That is quite interesting since install should be done on the root folder. Any ideas how to run it ?

I have few special car setting relate to my car like car language.. door open etc...

Can I backup this original rom just in case something not working and I can roll back to original software?

Many thanks.
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Theres no such thing as a "Witson" unit - Witson are a seller only, to find out what nit you have go to settings/about device, your MCU will tell you what unit you have, its probably an MX unit I woudl guess.

The communication between car and stereo is done via the CAN Bus decoder so this ROM will not affect it.

If you have an MTCD or MTCE MCU and an RK3188/PX3 processor you can use this ROM, no need to backup as there are many copies of original ROMs about.
[MTCD Software Development] chrno522:

you can download 1.3.2 only from your device with 1.3 version already installed on it.

after version 1.3 (there's still a link in the first page of this thread for download), it's possible update your device only by the device itself.

Great mod! After one year of experimental for many MTCD firmware mod's now I have what I need.

My unit works smooth and fast now, no lag when hotspot is activated (often Google Play), no unnecessary super-hiper-unuselles app. My MTCD_KD_2.40 Lollipop 5.1.1 (1 GB RAM) unit has new live. Will see for how long :)

Thank you [MENTION=472138]hal9k[/MENTION]! Good job!

BTW: OTA work's perfect! After flash to 1.3 version few second later system upgrade automatically to 1.3.2 :good:
[MTCD Software Development] chrno522:
Thanks everyone...

Will try to find a sdcard and install asap...
[MTCD Software Development] chrno522:
Managed to find the OTA update. It is all good now.

Can someone please upload the car setting app to set the car in dash language?

Apart from the in car dash language, this rom is great it revive my head unit now it work super fast. I am using micro g framework.

Another question is when I install mx player it wont show up on the car launcher.

How to add app to the car launcher? Thanks.
[MTCD Software Development] :::Tomy::::
Few days use of this mod and I have 2 issue:

1. I use microG for fast and better work of my unit.

I make clear process from first page of this topic to enable microG.

I successfully redefine my existing google acount, enabled Mozilla services and localization.

I can download and install app from Google Play but Google Play Services do not want to update (successfully download by can't update).

2. After I install Google Maps my system inform me about to needed update of Google Play Service to better work of Google Maps app.

I ignore this info and 100% Google Maps can work. But I have only small issue with microstuttering animation of my route (position of my car and maps grid it does not move smoothly).

Same situation with Yanosik (very popular antiradar and navi app in Poland). Same issue in animation map .. microsttutering.

Other navi app's like Offline Maps and Waze work's fine.

Any idea? This is problem od Google Play Services?

Despite these minor problems mod is OK.

After one year's small and big issue for use my unit this is awesome mod in my opinion.

After microG setting is very, very fast, great task responsive.

Now I can use few app's in one time without any lag's and hanging info.
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
MicroG doesnt use google play services, thats why you cant update it.
[MTCD Software Development] :::Tomy::::
I know that from 24h when yesterday I upgrade my unit again from beginning.

What about microsttutering Google Maps animation?

I know the best way is not uses Google Maps :)
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
I m sorry I dont know how to stop that.
[MTCD Software Development] :::Tomy::::
No problem. I stop use Google Maps.

For navi I use Waze and Offline Maps - they are awesome.

xposed framework

Does anyone know if the hardware mode by 7floor can work with this ROM.

I tried installing xposed, sins it is required but no luck.

can someone confirm that xposed CAN be installed and used with this ROM....?

I have no sound so i need xposed in order to use my HU.

I downloaded the xposed framework installer from XDA and installed it. The HU rebooted after the installation and then the problems began. A window wit "Updating apps" appeared with 103 apps to optimize and i waited for a good 10 min, after which HU restarted by it self and same window appeared but wit only 5 app to optimize so i waited.....5 min.

Then an error showed up with something about ....phone....has stopped working.

I pressed OK and it reappeared again, and so on for 4-5 times. Then the error window disappeared but all i can see is empty desktop with nothing else, not a notification bar no nothing. I can only put it to sleep, but after that it is the same-nothing on the desktop.

Should i start from scratch and install the ROM again, and then xposed, or the ROM does not work with it?

Thanks in advance,
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Xposed and 7floor's mod are compatible with ALL ROMs, including this one.

Try enabling all Xposed modules. to get the status bar back.
