yes its the 2gb and it came with android 7.

yes i will have to set up everything again on the stock rom,thats obvious,but i dont think i will have more problems with the stock rom.

i am on 2.5

2.4 was a bit better

No,there is no rule that the stock roms have more problems than the custom ones.

Quite the opposite,stock roms are always more stable and custom roms have more features but more bugs.

So please tell me,what are the settings you are talking about that could make a rom lag and slow if you set them up wrong. Obviously there are no such settings.

---------- Post added at 10:56 ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 ----------

do you have a link from the page/thread that this rom came from?

because if it is for a different device there is a chance the hardware buttons arent mapped correctly

edit,ok found it,thanks!
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
NO ! -You are thinking about Android phones, Android head units are an ENTIRELY different matter and factory ROMs are usually VERY buggy and full of problems, custom ROMs sort out the problems, in this respect they are the complete opposite of phones.

But what do I know ? I ve only been using and posting about MTC Android head units for 6 years. In this time youre the first person I ve even heard of who wants a factory ROM over a custom ROM.
[MTCD Software Development] kabelgleichung:
I can only confirm this statement. Factory ROMs of those headunits are really rubbish.

In fact, I would not compare the custom ROMs of the head units with custom ROMs as LineageOS. The ROMs posted here are "just" modifications of the factory ROMs with some additions, but not self compiled modules from the AOSP.
[MTCD Software Development] korekore1:
cool dude,whatever.

So for you,every manufacturer uses the same rom and you happen to have tested all of them and you found out that custom roms (that dont have access to source code so that they can actually fix bugs) fix bugs.

please stop sharing your knowledge.
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
I know what I m talking about, you dont know what youre talking about - look at the number of posts I ve made, look at my feedback, look at how long I ve been on here, look at the bit that says "senior member", read the previous comment by someone else, read this thread even (clearly you havent).

I ll continue sharing, at least 1600+ people are grateful even if some people with zero knowledge themselves think they know better. :)

Go into system/priv-app using root explorer or similar create a folder the same name as the launcher you want, put the app in that folder, set the permissions for the app the same as the other launcher in the folder, set the permissions for the folder the same as the folder for the other launcher, install the app, done.

i can't still install any of this launchers. i do exactly what you said but it is not installing. error extracting package. i can see files in it if i open it as zip. tried another one but same error.
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Launchers are apps so you cant install them if theyre zipped files, theyre apk files.

of course i don't do it. i meant file is not corrupt but can't install as apk.

Talking about this error. I tried the other day, all the launchers on that site is can't be installed.
[MTCD Software Development] furuko1231:
I think i fixed it. Edited the launcher apk file with apk editor. I just lowered API number from 28(android9) to 25(7.1) and apk become installable.

I'm putting edited mx3 launcher to attachments can you test it?

Hi all, need help. I install version 2.5 without any problem all works ok ( only slow boot, about 1 min, stock was faster) but i dont like stock launcher. Try to replace laucher (guide from 1st page) but cant install new one, i try all launchers, doesnt works. Is there a whole rom with new launcher or only launcher to download. Also great work Hal9k.
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
What do you mean you cant install it ? What happens ?
[MTCD Software Development] enslaved__:
Well, I also had the same problem. I opened a folder in priv-apps, named it the same with the .apk name and set the permissions. I tried Launcher3HCT5.apk.

Whenever I try to run the apk file, it gives an error.

I tried to rename the stock launcher but afterwards headunit got stuck in "Android is starting..." text.

I don't know what I am doing wrong here. I really want to replace the stock launcher 'cause I find it really useless. :)
[MTCD Software Development] furuko1231:
There is a APK ınstaller app in main menu (icon:android with spanner) . Inside the app, option called "oem" there you can find installable launchers.
[MTCD Software Development] popadic022:
Launchers from 1st page isnt compatible with rom or apk's are corupted. I download Agama laucher from internet, create folder Agamalaucher, put apk inside folder and move to priv-app folder, install apk, set as default launcher and delete Launcher3htc2 from priv-app, restart. All works like charm. And device start faster and Agama is much better than Launcher3.

I cant enter in factory settings, i dont know password, type pass wich i found on google but noone works. With viper4android is little bit louder but not so much. Is that normal or something doesnt work good? I think the sound need to be same on radio, youtube, and other apk's.

This is my model, so if someone know pass, tell

Greetings to all.

I have read this thread with great enthusiasm, but it scares the life out of me! :(

I have a Double din unit with the following current MCU version.

MTCD_MLT_V1.76_1 Aug 12 2016 17:52:02

Android version：5.1.1

Kernel version：3.0.101+ chun@hctr930 #45 Sat Aug 13 16:04:27 CST 2016

Build number：rk3188-userdebug 13082016.16:02:09

I would love to upgrade the Android version, but I'm scared of bricking the unit. (I'm an old fool)

If I understand correctly, I can use Hal9k_Mod_2.5_MTCD_MTCE_PX3_RK3188_1024x600_800х480_eng

It is also suggested that the MCU version should be upgraded, but I cannot find the appropriate files.

I would be grateful if someone could guide me through the process.

Many thanks in advance :o:fingers-crossed:

GG
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
You can install this ROM on your unit, but its pointless installing as you only have Android 5.1.1 so you dont have a enough RAM, install [MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION]s 5.1.1 ROM instead.

hi there.

now, the rom is super smooth!

I have poweramp installed, but when i start ignition, poweramp comes up but don´t play music... it´s always paused...

I have the option to auto resume activated ...
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Why, cos it was scrolling ?

Have you checked the box in settings "allowed to watch video when driving" ?
[MTCD Software Development] SkyBeam2048:
Those head units by default do play videos only when the parking brake is applied.

In order for this to work your car needs to provide a parking brake signal either by 12V signal line or CANBUS. If you don't have the parking brake signal connected and/or parking brake is not applied, then you can override the video-lockout in settings.

Open system settings, driving settings and enable "Watching video; Allowed to watch video while driving?" setting.

Caution: In some countries it's not allowed to operate a head unit which allows video playback during driving.
[MTCD Software Development] BlinkyTrojan:
Yup, even tried untick and tick again but same. It was playing fine on Malaysk 5.1.1 in the same HU before i flash Hal9k 7.1.2.

My car does not have a CANBUS and do not have handbrake detection.

I'll try to reflash again or try the modded Youtube. Anyhow, if there are other users who face the same issue and found a fix/workaround, please post it here.

Your help is much appreciated.
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Thats what I just said !

It does have handbrake detection - all cars do - you connect the "park" wire to the handbrake switch. It doesnt matter about CAN Bus or even connecting the wire to the handbrake though, ticking that box over rides everything, or it should, clearly thats not your problem though.

Could it be a resolution issue ? Try changing the resolutions in youtube.
[MTCD Software Development] SkyBeam2048:
Oh I am really sorry to have finished my response later than you.

The video playback blocker just seems to block video overlay. This is also why audio still is played correctly. I recommend to try connecting the "brake in" cable on the back of the unit, it can also be nailed up to 12V (connected to ignition) for testing purposes. Another possibility is broken video overlay in a specific ROM, so swapping ROM might help.
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
I used to want this behaviour so I could listen to some videos without the video on screen, pity the MCU doesnt do this instead of blocking everything.
[MTCD Software Development] SkyBeam2048:
Either I don't get your point or we are talking about different topics here.

Video playback blocked when handbrake signal not detected: As I can see on my PX5 unit it looks like simply the graphics output omits all overlay output. To prove this you can also use VLC or other players which allow you to render videos without overlay (disable hardware acceleration and use software rendering). In this mode videos are even played if handbrake is not applied and playback of videos while driving is disallowed.

Playing without video in background: This is independent from the "play-only-with-handbrake-applied" topic as it's related to the player application. Usually the youtube application will stop playback if you leave the application. There are (as I just learned) modded youtube applications which keep playing video in the background when the application is left. Much like audio players.

Copy the file data/data/com.microntek.radio/shared_prefs/com.microntek.radio_preferences.xml from the radio.

Add lines with radio station names according to the sample. (Marked in red).

The file must have a utf-8 encoding (code page 65001).

Disable the com.microntek.radio package.

Copy the file "com.microntek.radio_preferences.xml" back and set the rights and the owner, as it was.

Enable the com.microntek.radio package.

Start Radio and check the names.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
This is a bug that is caused by a lack of RAM.

On a radio with 2 Gb of RAM it is absent.

It is mentioned in the first post.

I do not know yet how to fix it.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
Because it ran in two places at once.

And also so that I can assign names to radio stations.

[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
I was just saying that I wished that when the "allow video when driving" box is unchecked it would play the video and blank out the screen so you could hear the audio without having the distraction of a video on the screen.

The answer is for 1Gb users to use the microG set up. :)

Ah, I see.

Same here Same model.

Tried almost everything. I Click en MicroG et Screen Turn Black , if a force reboot when i get to the main screen 5s later black screen.

[MTCD Software Development] andoy:
I already have the v1.32 on my MTCD HA 1.63c (RK3188 1GB RAM). I'm trying to install this but the recovery menu stays at android 5, wouldn't get in to the android 7 recovery. I inserted the sd card on GPS with the firmware tool (unchecked all boxes--- upgrade, pcba test and sd boot). Also plugged in the USB drive with the same firmware. How to get into recovery mode of android 7?

UPDATE: after further reading, around page 20s, i was able to get in to nougat recovery. Maybe the instructions should include to copy the img file to the sd card after using the firmware tool. Sort of a note if just using the tool does not work. Flashing on-going....

2nd UPDATE: flashing was a breeze, 5 mins. Another minute for microg. But it's been 45 mins! And i cant log in to playstore, keeps saying server error. Have tried all the force stop clear cache and readd account. Help on playstore.
[MTCD Software Development] Pavel-71:
Unfortunately, it is not possible to log in to google play for a long time with microG. Not after switching back to gabbs either. I had to reinstall it again and leave it on the gabbs.
[MTCD Software Development] andoy:
So i went back to my microg settings and turned on google cloud messaging (didn't notice last night and left that to off) and playstore connects successfully! Love this ROM, way faster than stock 5.1.1 on a 1GB HUD. Using Dasaita 10.2 inch Android 5 on a Mitsu ASX 2013.

Next question, what's a good mirroring app (better if i can control from head unit) that works with this ROM? I read from another that easy connect doesn't work (same with my 5.1.1 rom, it didn't work). Tried the reloaded head unit trial but kept getting super user permission denied.

UPDATE: tried headunit reloaded again, followed the other forum to enable sw decode and it works on wifi mode! I hope someone else can be guided by my experience. Thanks again @Hal9k_ ! And everyone else involved.
