Your rom works like a champ . But can you add these features in the next release, I really need them?

* the ability to turn the screen off by pressing power button ( short press), and it can only be turned on by pressing the power button again ( mine is a dasaita with touching buttons). The current rom offers blank screen but it will turn on by pressing any button on the steering wheels and powering off if I press the power button. I want it to stay off even when I skip to the next song so I can focus on driving, especially at night. currently it doesn't.

*the ability to add video settings in the stock video app ( contrast, brightness, gamma). My previous unit had these settings and it helped my kids in the backseat to be able to watch cartoon by increasing brightness and contrast.

Thanks for reading.

Nougat für ALLE RK3188 / PX3

Wie hast du das genau Installiert??? Mein Radio bootet nicht vom Sd-Karte und auch nicht von USB Stick

How did you install that exactly ??? My radio does not boot from the SD card and USB stick

usb same firmware sdupdate.img or microsd with SD_Firmware_Tool utility method? Which one?
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
If you have a 1Gb Lollipop unit, as well as putting the update.img on as sd card as normal, you also have to make a bootable sd card using sdfirmware tools, insert it into the GPS slot, then turn on the unit, in the past I have had to eject the bootable card AS SOON as "Nougat" appears on screen, [MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION] says this shouldnt be necessary). But if I didnt it would simply say "error" and stay there, if ejected it boots to Nougat recovery. After you have got into Nougat recovery then you can flash the ROM either via the GPS sdcard slot or via USB, its up to you. The reason you have to do this is that you cannot flash a Nougat update from a Lollipop recovery.

I put sygic in the "no kill" apps, but when i enter my car, music player is always in the "front"...

Anyone know how to resume last state when i go off the car?

thanks :)
[MTCD Software Development] Hazard15301:
It's not included, but you can download the xposed installer, install the framework from within the app, and download that module and it will work fine. Gravitybox [N] also works with this rom to some degree, and there is an option within for disabling the fullscreen keyboard.

hallo,

i am using the hal9k vers. 1.2 lolipop on a rk3188 1GB unit and it runs very well. my boot time there is nearly 30 seconds. how is the boot time with this vers.? i heard, in 7.1 vers. is something like deep sleep, is this integrated in this rom?

thank you

Compatibility

@ Hal9k_: Hello there! Great work, mate. Congrats!

I have a WITSON W2-A5753 HU on an Opel car. The thing that is that I am not shure if your ROM is compatible with my HU, since it says your ROM is 800x480 and in my HU info shows a different screen resolution of 1024x600.

I attached some images with the info screen of the HU. Can I install your ROM and have it working?
[MTCD Software Development] Hazard15301:
The rom is compatible with 1024x600 units. Mine is, and it works fine.
[MTCD Software Development] Phlom:
All right then. Thank you very much. Can't wait to install it.
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Yes, it works with both resolutions.

You have an MX unit by the way, Witson is just a seller. :)
[MTCD Software Development] masri1987:

So I used the SD utility tool in OP. 16gb card. Fat32 . Created the disk using the nupdate.zip as instructed. Rebooted it said Android upgrading (booting to recovery on its own ) then error screen

Rk3188 , 1gb head unit.

Pretty sure I'm missing something but the instructions were pretty straight forward

Edit: had to redo firmware tool and unchecked firmware update in the tool. Upgrading now...
[MTCD Software Development] masri1987:
So wait. I need my gps card and a USB flash drive? What if I don't have a USB flash drive??

I simply added the nupdate.zip on the SD card post firmwares utility tool... It's running now hopefully it install without issue

Edit: up and running. Everything is well. Microg works well.

Getting used to this launcher but I'm curious if the launcher from mod1.2 would work on mod2.0?

Okay, I updated with this package yesterday, and now my unit no longer keeps time while suspended. Prior to flashing I could shut my car off and suspend, however, now when I suspend it powers back up with the time it suspended with.

Any ideas? Not sure what would have changed.

Not sure, have you looked in extra settings for how long the unit stays powered after the ignition is off ?

Also if you set the time to be gotten from GPS then within seconds of it turning on again it should show the right time.

I just upgraded to the 2.1 ROM and all appears to be functioning as before so that's all good.

However, I don't appear to have an AUTO-SLEEP option in my power settings. There wasn't one before either but I thought it was maybe an addition with 2.1

Is there somewhere else I need to look to find it?
[MTCD Software Development] s.rahus:
Your MCU should support this option. Please update the MCU firmware to the latest version and check.

[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
It works only for MD-725 BT module.

1 - I will add to the plan.

2 - This is quite laborious. Why not use a third-party player?

You have Ownice C500, which is incompatible with our system.

In addition, this option is only for new coreboards, in which Android 7 was installed from the factory.

Hi!

I have installed your ROM in a MTCE HA, PX3 board and it is really very smooth.!!! The only "lag" I have is when using Sygic navigation software. Τhe maps and program is very laggy, if I set it to car mode. If I set it to walk mode it is ok. Is it normal? Has is to do with the PX3 board not beeing toο strong to suport this kind of software?
[MTCD Software Development] dude-nl:
sygic runs fine.... inly if you have 1gb and can be lagish...

Use microg instead of gapps then to save ram

original post:

Added the ability to replace Gapps on a microG with a lightened Play Market and back, at any time. It's extremely speed up the device, actual for 1 GB of RAM.

Located in the Mod settings.
[MTCD Software Development] Hoppengeist:
I changed it to 2D Navigation Mode - works way better! For me, it’s also easier to see the important next steps but that of course is a personal taste.
[MTCD Software Development] akispavlopoulos:
I have 2GBs. I tried to replace Gapps on a MicroG but I use MTCDialer which asks for Google Services in order to work...

yes, I tried it and you are right! It seems that the 3D mode is much more for the PX3. I have used a PX5 board and there was not any problem. But when I use iGo there is no problem in 3D with PX3 , so that's why I asked here , perhaps I have done something wrong.... I have a PX3, 2 GB ram which came with 7.1.1 android and latest MCU (MTCE HA) (original Dasaita unit)
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
You should still be able to use Google services with microG.
[MTCD Software Development] fifthelement:
For those who are short on ram and dont need Google services at all, you can completely disable all google related stuff in settings -> apps.

It will save a lot of memory and device runs much smoother.

[MTCD Software Development] jigubhai2001:
This might help some people so posting it here. I can start a different thread as well, if posting it here is not okay.

I did some trouble shooting over the weekend. I monitored the voltage on the Red wire that goes from the Can bus module to the head unit. What I noticed is that when I start the car, the voltage on the red wire was turning off momentarily.

So I measured the voltage on the yellow yellow of the canbus module that is connected to the battery. What I noticed is that when I start the car, the voltage drops to about 10 VDC. I am thinking that the 10 VDC for the canbus module is low and therefore gets reset every time I start the car which in turn is resetting the Date/time on the headunit.

The voltage drop could be because my car battery is going weak or it just could be that way because it is a diesel and therefore pulling more current on startup.

I am going to build a voltage regulator circuit using an LM 7812 voltage regulator to provide constant 12VDC to the canbus module to solve this.

But this makes me think if I also need to wire the output of the regulator to the constant 12VDC wire of the headunit as well. If that is the case I might want to use bigger voltage regulator that can handle more current.
[MTCD Software Development] jigubhai2001:
Can you please point to which process you used to downgrade to 5.1.1. I am running version 2.1 want to downgrade as well.

I like the lates 2.1 version based on 7.1.2, but I think the version 1.0 based on 5.1 worked better and was faster to boot up.

Thank you for your reply .

Erisin car radio.
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Someone did install TWRP on an MTCB/C head unit years ago but no one has bothered since or installed it on an MTCD/E AFAIK, cos you cant flash MCUs with TWRP, so best use the recovery it comes with.

Its not Erisin BTW, they are just a seller, your MCU will tell you what unit you have.

[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
If you have such a BT module, you can try creating your own audio file with the required volume and set it as a ringtone.

This fully applies to the functions of the application. So this question should be covered by the app's author.

Meanwhile, Hal9k Mod v1.3 was released.

It contains the same changes as version 2.1 (and even slightly more).

Well after much troubleshooting; I have cleared cache, and data in play services and store which did kinda fix the problem. I can finally login into the store and download apps but every so often it say play services either keeps restarting or just plain stopped. I just hit close app or restart app (whichever option they give me) and it keeps working fine. Kind of annoying but not annoying enough to flash a new rom or anything.

Hmm, strange, I dont use windows so cant help there, try another Windows tool for extracting Linux stuff ?

Or flash the2.0 ROM, use the app APKextractor to extract the radio app, then flash 2.1.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=talkupQHUIM&feature=youtu.be
[MTCD Software Development] PatrikI30:
Hello,

I have yesterday installed new version 2.2.

First of all I would like say “thank you” to the author that he does it for us. I even cannot imagine how something like this could be done, this is amazing that somebody has such knowledge! thank you very much!

Now regarding the 2.2:

Installation proceeded without any issue (I have upgraded from 2.1). I very appreciate removing boring notifications about inserted SD cards in notification list. This is great! I also appreciate ability to skip to the next directory. I will continue in testing today.

But I have few general comments regarding general functionality.

Radio:

-	The name of the station. My opinion is, that it is ok that pop up appears and allow user to enter any name. but I think it would be nice if the name is automatically prefilled with RDS station name(Option1) OR to be prefilled by the same station name as I manually entered when I was storing radio station name on the same memory program P1 (Option 2). I am traveling a lot and it is very boring to always enter the station name (not saying it is dangerous during driving) when I am storing the same station (but another frequency) on the same memory program (cos my stupid radio cannot remember alternative frequencies).

-	Then, I am not sure about RDS functionality, but I think that the radio doesn’t remember all alternative frequencies when station is stored. Example: I am in the city where I live, I stored BBC radio to P1 let say on frequency 90.5. Now I stop listening BBC, started to listen music player. After 200km away I turned on my radio, press P1 and it tune up the 90.5 frequency, but at that place it cannot find it (of course) the BBC radio at 90.5. Then it does nothing (noise). When I initiate manual/automatic searching, it finds BBC, let say on 105.6. My expectations are, that it should have remember all other alternative frequencies (AF) in the memory, and I when I press P1 and it can not find any signal it should try to find that station on all other frequencies… (I think that to be able search on AF it has to have at least some (weak) station reception).

When I would start listen BBC home and listen whole way to the same 200km far destination, then radio would works fine, it would continuously tune AF during my ride.

-	Therefore I would like ask all if somebody has extracted radio app from version 2.0, where at least one problem (from my point of view) is solved. As for some technical reason I am not able to extract is from the update. I guess that then I simple replace original radio app file with the new one (using e.g. total commander).

Music player:

-	It would be fine somehow be able to open that directory which is already playing (e.g. by pressing folder name).

I wish all nice sunny day
