I did check out on my own HU only the open gapps LP version which works OK.

KK open gapps should also be OK, but a wipe all (or clear all if the recovery I included in all my firmware is present already) is necessary when switching between LP/KK.

I have no idea whether the new microg LP firmware is better or at least functional. Not curious. I will know that it's OK when the old versions expire while the new ones are still downloaded.
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
Try 5.1.1 with microG, its much faster than with OpenGapps or normal Gapps.
[MTCB Software Development] Oldpapa49:
ok, the Gapps version works wirg the apps currently. If I feel ambitious I will try the MicroG one
[MTCB Software Development] west_100:
Is there any version of MTCMovie with random function that works with 5.1.1?

The ones that I have been able to install the video explorer does not work it goes blank and it does not allow to search in usb, nor micro.
[MTCB Software Development] MaStErB_1984:
MicroG-version works like a charm! :) Thanks a lot! Brings a whole new performance to my old device.
[MTCB Software Development] Labo322:
Please delete, wrong thread
[MTCB Software Development] ACSlater:
Just installed this rom and, after some frightening moments, it works great! Just make sure to go to recovery and wipe everything, before running the installer. Thanks for this rom!
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
Yes, a one time automatic reboot is necessary to have the mtcxp xposed module configured.
[MTCB Software Development] dazzer1975:
my head unit is MTCB-ZD-V2.68

Currently, everything is as it came from eonon, but after this week losing tom tom ability to upgrade or redownload, i'm hoping tomtom go works on 5.1.1?

Can anyone tell me how to get into recovery mode so as to allow me to install this firmware please?
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
TomTom would work under either KK or LP. But you'd have to install it from Play store and have a valid ro.serialno parameter, which is set by the mtcxp xposed module.

See also this thread: #1.

Fortunately all is preset under my firmware (KK & LP).

Getting into recovery is done by holding down the Volume/Power button.

The update.img file is usually detected when on (first) SD, too, under a running HU.

===

BTW, if you have a KK unit, you may just install the Xposed framework & installation app, and the mtcxp xposed module. The ttxp module would not hurt either. But given that TT specific storage support is provided by firmware, I would upgrade still.
[MTCB Software Development] dazzer1975:
beautiful stuff, due an sdcard in the post today and will get this installed... main reason i bought the hu was to use navigation (tomtom my fave nav after trying the others) so without a decent gps nav app, it's pretty useless

cant wait to get ya rom installed and have a tinker, cheers bro
[MTCB Software Development] dazzer1975:
DUDE

just installed and had a play, hu is far more responsive than even when i first bought it and tom tom is up and running, including free miles lol... goddamn i love it

thanks bro, youve proper saved me from further stress

I have installed this on my Eonon 6155F headunit in my 2009 Vauxhall Astra. Before I had this ROM I couldn't use my steering wheel controls to change song and now I can with the arrow buttons but I have a problem. The little scroll wheel that gets used to cycle through the center console screen also changes the song playing on bluetooth.

Does anyone know how to fix this so that only the arrow buttons change the song and not the scroll button?
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
Anything for a fellow TT user! :)
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
Not so sure, but there is a built-in key setup app, maybe you could associate the scroll wheel signal with something else? Or, check up the HeadUnit app settings (disable something)?
[MTCB Software Development] daten-shi:
I've tried using the Key Setup and pressing buttons do absolutely nothing when I'm in there.
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
But you could remap keys to functions.

Find a benign function to associate with that wheel?
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
He cant cos he wants it to control a function on the car.
[MTCB Software Development] daten-shi:
I'll try to make a video showing what's wrong tomorrow. I mean other than this really annoying thing it's so much better than the crap it came with. I couldn't even change song with the steering wheel at all with the stock OS and Bluetooth didn't work more often than it did work.

There's also another thing I'd like to know about. Is it possible to have my center screen say the name of song playing instead of "A2DP"?
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
I use Poweramp and keep songs locally (on SD or USB storage). It shows ample info if available.
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
I know exactly what your problem is, but not really sure how to solve it, you could try using one of the CAN Bus apps from the other ROM on this one.

You would have to de-compile the CAN Bus app and modify it o send the track name to the screen, some people have tried before, you d have to search the forum though as I cant remember what threads.
[MTCB Software Development] daten-shi:
This is the quick video i made to show what's up with my steering controls youtu. be/J7RalbMyRbE
[MTCB Software Development] daten-shi:
So I've came up with a kind of workaround to play my music for now by installing the mtcdtools apk and mapping the next and previous keys so that the Spotify app on the HU changes the song.

It's not ideal since I like to use Apple Music and Spotify when I'm driving but it'll do until it can be figured out what's up with the Bluetooth A2DP.
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
It only happens on A2DP app ?
[MTCB Software Development] daten-shi:
So far it's only the A2DP app that has this issue, yeah.
[MTCB Software Development] daten-shi:
So it turns out it actually affects CDs too which I found out when using a CD to see if the name of the track would show up on my screen.
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
Hmm, you could try the "Control settings" app from your previous ROM on this ROM. I think thats what its called on GM cars, the name is different for different manufacturers.

If that doesnt work you could also try the MTCCanbus app from your previous ROM on this ROM.
[MTCB Software Development] daten-shi:
So I haven't seen a MTCCanbus app on my headunit ever and the only .apk I could find wouldn't install and I don't have a clue how I would go about using another version of the car settings app or where I would get it.
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
All units have MTCcanbus app, its hidden.

Download the ROM you had previously and extract the apk or re-install that ROM and extract the app with RootExplorer or APKinstaller app (its in the Playstore), then re-install this ROM and install the app.

You would use it the same as you use the current one, if you dont use it it doesnt matter, its what the app does thats important - it may solve your problem.

You do have "Controlsettings" on your unit ? I m talking about the app that controls things on the car, as I said in a previous post it can be called other things depending on your car type.

What CAN Bus setting is your unit on ?
[MTCB Software Development] ~phoeny~:
This is by far the best firmware i have tried yet for my unit. Included Media Player is Trash though, Only Shows deepest folder, Ignores .nomedia I really enjoy listening to nav voice examples between the tracks :crying:
[MTCB Software Development] Karanso:
How can we change/remove the icon, backarrow, screen, home etc in Statusline?
[MTCB Software Development] rgviewer:
Thank you for this wonderful rom. It is very fast and am loving it. But I do have one problem I was wondering if anyone might be able to answer. I can no longer connect to my WiFi at home. I tried several times and it can't find the IP address. I have checked and rechecked my password. I even removed security on my router. Still will not connect. It saves the Network Name (SSID), but just times out.

Thanks for any help

I am using the Open GApps rom. Also my head unit is a Joying MTCB 1 Gig Ram. Originally 4.4 kitkat
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
I use Poweramp: the playlist is configurable - you can opt out from system, nav folders. And I provided custom support for it related to fast music restart after power on...
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
Try to use a fixed IP address.

And, have you done a "wipe all" from recovery yet? Followed by HU reconfiguration, of course.
[MTCB Software Development] rgviewer:
I did do a wipe all when I installed, I did it again just in case. It still would not obtain IP address, but after I manually set IP address inside wifi settings on stereo it connected. Kinda weird that it would not connect by DHCP but I really don't care. Either way it works now. A Big Thumbs Up to you.

Thanks again :laugh:
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
Admittedly, it has happened to me, too. Frustrating, but I got all my home/local network on fixed IP... And it was a long time ago.

However, the HU can connect to (most) other public access points, via dhcpd.

It will go away, after a while... :)
[MTCB Software Development] thachosenone:
Can someone try out Netflix on this rom? I had issues in the past with Netflix and 5.1 roms.
[MTCB Software Development] rgviewer:
Is there anyway to not auto start Poweramp. Sometimes it starts in the background. Example, I was listening to radio, shut off car. Came back and booted device, Radio started playing.. then a few seconds later Poweramp kicks in. Both radio and Poweramp play over each other. I have read Poweramp isn't supposed to auto play if something else is playing. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Also sometimes I don't want anything to play, as weird as that sounds sometimes I get out of all music while driving and just enjoy silence. But I know that next time I start car Poweramp auto kicks in, then I have to go in and shut it off. I love poweramp when I use it. But wasn't sure if there is a way to shut off auto start of poweramp.

I got to say. I am really loving the look of this firmware, and don't want to go back to stock, or another rom for that fact.

Thanks
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
Comment out (with # in front of lines), with a root editor, then reboot, the following code toward end of script /etc/install-recovery.sh:

### #always restart
### #second to last
### usbmnt
### while ! am startservice -a com.maxmpz.audioplayer.API_COMMAND --ei cmd 3; do sleep 1; done
### sleep 2

BTW, if script gets damaged (e.g. it becomes not executable), the fix is firmware installation anew, but without clear all, to preserve current configuration.

But aren't you in breach of OP rules?! :)
[MTCB Software Development] rgviewer:
Thank you for responding so quickly. I will give it a go. :D
[MTCB Software Development] baybars sultan:

[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:

Hi, just flash the micro g version, i have only one problem with the Bluetooth that not working, the parameters are empty, and when i filed them it's reset again after reboot, any idea how to solve this problem?
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
Probably in the Settings/Factory Settings (password 126) menu, select the right BT device type?

Although your picture does not seem to represent my firmware...

[MTCB Software Development] fectivi:
Thank you for your reply, I installed the firmware from the op, with your logo on startup.

I didn't change the bt settings from the factory settings.

I had before Malaysk 4.4 rom, and there was xposed module that was fixed the Bluetooth issues.

There is more pictures.

[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
That is odd. Try getting into recovery and there perform a wipe all, then reboot and reconfigure your unit from scratch.
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
For all who are installing this firmware for the first time, since it is differently partitioned, you must make a wipe all in recovery (ideally, to avoid wasting time, just before the first startup, but now is a good time as any if you did not do it yet).

I put this advice in the OP as well, hopefully it will be noticed.
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
As I said last week, there is Nougat for the RK3188/PX3 MTCD (using the same kernel as Lollipop), so it wouldnt be that hard to make an N ROM for RK3188/PX3 MTCB/C, you simply replace all the MTCD stuff with MTCB/C stuff.
[MTCB Software Development] thivamero:
Today I managed to install icoyote.

I have problems with the music player..when I stop a song to listen to the radio for example, and I restart the music player, it does not resume where it stopped, it resumes at the next song at the same moment when it was stopped.

example :

when i put the radio,the song 1 stopped at 1 min 30 sec, when i put music player, this is the song2 at 1 min 30 s who's playing

question 2:

I saw that people used poweramp, function it properly? When i put poweramp the radio does not turn off
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
No, Poweramp is 100% supported, customized early start included.

Poweramp and TomTom GO, that I use, both got customized support.

For TomTom GO, if a (new) folder called com.tomtom.gplay.navapp/foobar is created on any of the external storage (GPS, SD, USB2), before app opening, then all stuff, including big maps, will stay externally, on an appropriately sized media.

Poweramp starts and restarts early, plays in the background, and yields focus to all other audio sources.

I would also disable Music.apk, to avoid any interference, when Poweramp is used.

(I rename it to /system/app/Music/Music.apk.bak, with a root explorer, then reboot)

Another trick is to disable music play when SD card is inserted, in (extra?) Settings.
[MTCB Software Development] thivamero:
This is strange because when I use power amp, the radio does not turn off, I am obliged to turn it off before using poweramp ...

i'am novice is there something special to make for it to work or does it need a special version ?? I use the latest version of poweramp (paided version)
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
Yes, do so...

There may be other xposed modules that probably handle the issue, but I do not use them.
[MTCB Software Development] thivamero:
How did you make it work? I have the rom december
[MTCB Software Development] thivamero:
Thank you very much as I am novice it is quite difficult for me, I will try in the week ..
[MTCB Software Development] Johny DJ:
Hm... than maybe just replacing karnel with Mtcb/c one and recovery will do the trick...and use system image from nougat... probably is not so easy I think.
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
From what I ve seen done with phones I m pretty sure its relatively easy, we just dont seem to have developers in the MTCB/C/D forum with the skill levels of the devs in the phone forums (not disrespect is meant to our devs).
[MTCB Software Development] Oldpapa49:
I think it is possible or close to it. Back in the day when HP released a Tablet called "Touchpad" it had an OS from Palm called WebOS. The tablet cost was high and really never took off.

In about 6 months after release, HP did a fire sale. You could buy the 16G for around $99 and the 32G for $149. They sold like hotcakes.

But WebOS was well, not the OS people wanted. So shortly after a app came out that once installed, would make the WebOS behave like Android. It worked, but it was in Alpha stage.

Then someone or some people got tablets that had Android in em. That open the world up. Look here on XDA for touchpad. Still being played with and it was updated to all levels of Android.

So, maybe the difference is MCU on the radios. But it did not seem to care on the these units.

I will go check the forum and see if I can dig up some old guys from it and see what they say.

Maybe the approach can help.

Who knows, I might have sometime on my hands soon, depends what the heart doctor says. My regular doc was concern with my heart, some valve could be going bad. I surely hope not.

But I will try and if I find something I will post it here for [MENTION=6041319]dsa8310[/MENTION] and if I get a stay at home vacation for a bit, I can mess with it.
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
My Le Eco Le Max 2 has an N custom ROM made from using lots of source code, kernel, apps, device tree etc from the OnePlus3 which has the same SoC and some of the same hardware (and also some different hardware), I ve seen this sort of thing done many times before, the RK3188/PX3 can run L, I know of tablets that run later versions of Android that the manufacturers never released, my old Samsung Omnia that ran Windows Mobile was made to run Linux, there are 1000s of similar examples of this sort of thing. All we re talking about here is making a ROM designed to run on an RK3188/PX3 MTCD unit run on an RK3188/PX3 MTCB/C unit, I really think it IS (relatively) simple to do. I ve never made a ROM before but I m pretty certain that with the help of the internet and lots of time I could do it. Its just that I dont really have the time to spend days or weeks doing just this, I have too much on at the moment. I m really up some sort of thing where lots of us work on it together.

I mentioned it to [MENTION=6041319]dsa8310[/MENTION] ( well indirectly - someone had to quote me with the fact that it was me removed lol) but he wasnt up for it, sadly.

Incidently [MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION] has made a great ROM for MTCD units, the best ROM I ve seen so far (no disrespect to [MENTION=6041319]dsa8310[/MENTION] meant), it even has a screen lock, something no one has been able to do on MTCB/C/D units before, I d love to some how port that ROM over, although maybe I m trying to run before I can walk lol. Or maybe the screen lock itself could be ported over (his ROM is L, but hes working on N) ? (again anyone feel free to quote me with any mentions of my name removed so [MENTION=6041319]dsa8310[/MENTION] can see - who knows maybe he could port the screen lock ?).

We need to understand the differences between MTCB/C and D, I think to start with, I think (I noticed that MTCD ROMs seem to be much larger). We need to mount and look at the contents of an MTCB/C ROM and an MTCD one and I think simply try and remove all the MTCD apps etc and replace with MTCB/C apps etc and see if that boots.
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
Seeing as some apps that were written for MTCB/C also work on MTCD and that some features of MTCD tools work on MTCB/C, maybe this MTCD ROM kitchen would also work for MTCB/C ? Or at least assist in making N for MTCB/C ? :

[MTCB Software Development] elyl:
It would be nice to get N running on these units, but would there be any advantages? I know they switched from Dalvik to ART between KitKat and Lollipop, which was probably the last big architecture change affecting performance. Would Nougat run any quicker than Lollipop? I suspect it would require more memory/processor since Android has pretty much scaled version by version to match the available resources on modern phones.

I suspect it would be technically impressive, running Nougat on an RK3188, but practically useless!

Hey, I don't see these latest roms on the fileserver. I would download directly but I'm in work and the file sharing site DSA has used is blocked :(
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
MM would run faster on these units because the way it handles RAM is better, I think the same also applies to N.

Re: [MENTION=6041319]dsa8310[/MENTION]'s latest ROMs, I havent put them on yet as it was down the other day.

But I downloaded the 800x480 openG one and the update.img was exactly 800mb, I tried to put it on a unit but it went straight to a black screen, not sure if its to do with the ROM, the way it downloaded or extracted, or the unit I put it on, just saying, if anyone has successfully flashed the 800x480 openG version can they let me know ?
[MTCB Software Development] elyl:
Not sure about that. KK uses less RAM for the OS than L, M or N. Apps may use slightly less memory on Marshmallow, and MM has a more aggressive memory management, where it will kill unused apps in memory faster, but I don't think that would be a massive advantage in a head unit use-case, where you're likely only to have 3 or 4 apps running at a time.

Guess the only way to check for sure will be to get N running on one of these units, though ;)
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
L holds stuff in RAM longer and clogs it up, many people have said these units will function faster with MM than with L and many people with L complain that its slow cos all the RAM is used hence the 2Gb upgrade and the MicroG and OpenG versions.

Yeah, are you in for a group of amateurs trying to get it running ? Lol

You should perform a "wipe all" from the recovery menu, then, of course, reconfigure the unit.

The previous picture was definitely wrong.
[MTCB Software Development] fectivi:
So I figure out the problem.

I installed your 4.4 rom and the Bluetooth is back again. so i enterd into the factory settings and found out that the bt model that works in 4.4 is not presenting in the bt menu list on 5.1 rom.

Is there any way to port the bt factory settings from 4.4 to 5.1?
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
I had wanted to suggest to you the same KK detour... Now, you may stick to KK for a while, it's as nimble as it gets.

There is also a save option in the factory settings menu, look for the resulting file, somewhere (either the internal SD or /data?), preserve it externally, then try to install LP with "clear all" (separate wipe all is no longer needed since you got a good working recovery in the process), and restore the saved (KK) file, eventually with a proper name (if different - you may fake a save under LP too, to establish name and default location).

But frankly, I am no longer sure of the available options, I hadn't heard of this kind of BT issues in a long time...

Try also, under LP, other BT types, exhaustively.
[MTCB Software Development] fectivi:
Sounds complicated, Maybe I'll try what you suggested later on.

BTW Before I asked for help, I was looking for a solution in this post, and there are other users who encountered the same problem without any solution.

Thank you anyway, your rom is great and it's too bad I can't use it.
[MTCB Software Development] dsa8310:
You had mentioned something about an xposed BT module? Use it, both LP & KK support the xposed framework (under KK it has to be installed manually, under LP it is included)... Or/and, send to me the xposed module app, I will check it out, adapt it, if possible.

Dear friend hi

I have the same device as MCU MTCB-KD-V2.81 as many attempts I tried all Andoid 5.1 custom firmware and Malaysk and friend DSA did not manage to have a Bluetooth...
[MTCB Software Development] fectivi:
Will it help if i flash the original MCU kitkat image after flashing the LP rom?
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
No.

Another solution to your problem is to try [MENTION=5228031]Johny DJ[/MENTION]'s Lollipop ROM - its based on [MENTION=6041319]dsa8310[/MENTION]'s Lollipop ROM but has been optimised for 1Gb RAM units [MENTION=6041319]dsa8310[/MENTION] has 2Gb RAM installed on his unit) so it is much faster.
