Hi [MENTION=472138]hal9k[/MENTION] !

I installed your rom on my PX3 1gb rom and it's running perfectly, smooth and stable.

I only have a problem regarding bluetooth connection: when i get in my car, phone is taking some time to connect to the unit (sometimes i need to connect it manually) whereas it connected quicker with 5.1 roms (stock and malaysk).

Moreover i'm using tasker to turn on wifi tethering on my phone as soon as it's connected to the unit via bluetooth and sometimes i need to go to wifi settings (on the unit) so that it's able to scan networks and connect.

Is there something i might have set wrong ? Am i the only one with this situation?

Thank you all and thank you [MENTION=472138]hal9k[/MENTION] for your work ! :)
[MTCD Software Development] Gianpaice:
I've dowloaded your rom but i don't know where is the folder of White list.
[MTCD Software Development] panteryx_26:
I am running the 2.1 and I have none of those issues. Everything connects seconds after I enter the car.
[MTCD Software Development] al3xpoa:
Hi,

How i can choose the launchers?

I press the home button but nothing appears, maybe i have to reinstall the rom?

thanks
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
I also do not have any of these problems on two HUs. Try another phone.

You can find whitelist in MOD Settings app.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
Did you install any launcher from the oem folder in the installer app?
[MTCD Software Development] al3xpoa:

i wil try this..

thanks

What the heck I am doing wrong. I prepare sd card with the SD firmware tool, I did format fat32 the usb I put them as I have been told I the unit I turned off and on several times but nothing happens. I tried to update via settings but I always get the message no update file. So what the hell I am doing wrong?
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
Post a link to your radio.
[MTCD Software Development] dav_ix:
Well it is strange because 9 times out of 10 it connects automatically (but still not as fast as before)...

I will try with another phone yes. Anyway removing device and reconnect it doesn't seem to have any effect.

I have a last question : I have a notification for SD card at every startup, is this normal and is there a way to deactivate it?

Thank you for your feedback, keep up the good work [MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION] ??
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
You mean the small icons in the status bar ?

This is a system icons and this is normal.
[MTCD Software Development] dav_ix:
Ok thank you, I thought I could hide it or something, but it's not really disturbing!
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Are you using the sdcard that you prepared with sdfirmware tool to boot into Nougat recovery, ejecting it AS SOON as "Nougat" appears on screen, then, once youre in Nougat recovery, using the other sdcard with the normal update file (ie NOT prepared using sdfirmware tool, just the update.image as downloaded) to flash the ROM either via the sd slot (the GPS one if you have 2) or USB (it doesnt matter which method) ?
[MTCD Software Development] LordAnpu:
I have a problem with Viper4Android. When I use a music app, viper works, but when I change to a radio app, the sound changes and the viper status is processing: no.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
It's not a problem. Viper only affects the sound sources from the Android system.
[MTCD Software Development] Pngkrt:
I use them both at the same time. I never managed to get to the nougat recovery at all. Do I have to put first the SD card and if nougat appears to the screen eject it and then attach the usb?
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
I dont really know what you mean by you use them both "at the same time".

You have to do what I told you in the message above !

I ve also said it several times in this thread.

I suggest you follow the instructions I wrote above and also read the beginning of this thread.
[MTCD Software Development] LordAnpu:
Thanks for quick answer. It's a shame it will not work for radio app, I mainly use it. But at least my music sound more juicy with viper.
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
You could always to the 7floor sound mod, no need for Viper then.

I m pretty sure Viper worked on the radio as well with MTCB/C units.
[MTCD Software Development] demetry14:
[MENTION=472138]hal9k[/MENTION]

The Music app doesn't like viper in v2.1 on my px3 unit. The only time it enhances the sound from the music app is when I start music "MP3" in music app and then go back to my launcher home while it is playing... Is that normal or should I try a reflash?
[MTCD Software Development] Pngkrt:
I am pretty sure I am doing what it is written above. I put the SD prepared with the SD firmware tool in GPS slot and the same time I put the USB fat32 formated where I have just pasted the nupdate img in the usb slot. Sorry but I am starting to believe that I am a little bit fool....
[MTCD Software Development] panteryx_26:
Format your SD card Fat32. Put the nupdate.img on the root.. Literally just copy the file on the card. Stick the card in your unit while it's on. You should have a pop-up asking you to update. It's that easy. You don't need to use a USB.

Sorry, I am a little bit confused. currently I have android 5.1.1 on my MTCD unit. can I install this ROM by the method explained in first post ? or should I go the route which is explained in second post ?
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
Yes, given the known bug with the video. Use the bootable SD card
[MTCD Software Development] fifthelement:
Thank you. I used the bootable SD card method and successfully installed the ROM but later when I returned to my car and started it, the headunit didnt come up immediately ! the screen was completely black for a good 1 minute and then the boot logo showed up, do you think it is mcu related ? is there a recommended MCU for your ROM ? I am on 2.40 KD MCU right now.
[MTCD Software Development] iliap669:
please help

Hi, I have tryed to upgrade my head unit today from 5.1.1, but after the install its just stuck on the "SEAT" (seat ibiza) logo.. I did exactly what is written on the first page.

what can i do? can i downgrade some how?

head unit details before the upgrade:

MCU version: MTCD_KGL_V1.87_2

android version:5.1.1

kernel version:+3.0.101

chun@hctr930 #90

Build number: rk3188-userdebug 13092016

please please help me.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
Try to go to recovery and reflash again. 2.40 is quite old version. You can to flash latest version from HA. But you will need to reprogram front panel buttons.

[MENTION=9053532]iliap669[/MENTION] Try to reflash again and update the MCU.
[MTCD Software Development] iliap669:
thank you. I will try that.

edit: I have updated the mcu to 2.54( the latest I've found) and reflashed ,and it turned on just fine.

Thank you so much [MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION]
[MTCD Software Development] fifthelement:
Sorry I know it is not related to your ROM, but are you sure HA 2.80 is cross compatible with KD ? do I need to backup and restore dmcu.cfg as well ?

I've seen MTCE_KGL_V2.70 somewhere here.

I've not tested it. But there is a corresponding topic: https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/.../mtcd-verified-cross-compatible-mcus-t3624724

[MTCD Software Development] Krmnnghia:
Ah yes but I am trying to figure out if its possible with the factory flip down screen. Only seems to turn on video out when the DVD player is activated on the head unit.
[MTCD Software Development] klain13:
Hi Hal9k, thank you for the good work you have been doing and especially thanks to answering our users' questions to try and improve your work. I would like to try your rom, currently on my unit MTCE_HA_V2.71_1 PX3 (1024X600 0) from 2 GB of RAM mounts above the Rom Malaysk latest version; I'm not comfortable with this rom because some things do not fit me, as for example the hour on the status bar that after a few seconds from turning on the radio, disappears and then I see unfortunately that the owner no longer answers the questions on the 3d and this is a disappointment for me.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
Only the DVD signal is output to the analog video output. You can use some converter from hdmi to analog.
[MTCD Software Development] panteryx_26:
I found a bug I think. Sometimes... Randomly I get a toast like I am searching for radio stations. I get the frequency shown at the bottom. It doesn't interrupt anything. When this happened I was listening to music and in GPS... It's not a big issue but I was wondering if anyone experienced this

Once you see Nougat on the screen eject the bootable sd card then replace with the sdcard with then normal copy of the ROM, or put that in the usb slot, it doesnt matter which way you use.

He is still on 5.1.1. so he cant use that method, its only for units that are on Nougat already.

Yes.
[MTCD Software Development] gunmoule:
Hello, fantastic work on this ROM, it runs super smooth with MicroG on my PX3 1Gb. However I noticed a strange thing while fiddling with CPu governor settings. While max speed is set to 1.6Ghz the CPU will never go above 1.4Ghz. I tried to set it to performance governor this way it should run at max speed regardless of CPU load, however it stays @ 1.4Ghz. Someone else experiencing this?
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Maybe its an RK3188T - this version is clocked to 1.4Ghz not 1.6, still you can overclock if you want.
[MTCD Software Development] gunmoule:
No it's Rk3188 and on other roms it scaled fine to 1.6Ghz with interactive governor. Now regardless of my settings it will never go to 1.6Ghz. With a fresh install it defaults to interactive governor with highspeed set to 1.6Ghz [MENTION=5720362]99%[/MENTION] load, I change it to be like 60% load however it will still be locked to max 1.4Ghz. What do you use to overclock? I use Kernel adiutor to tune governor settings.

Hal thanks for the great rom. I've been using your v1.2 for my px3 1 gb LM unit and now just updated to 2.1 (not sure why people are having problems with the install method, it worked the first time for me). anyway, i'm able to get into recovery after installing 2.1. The only way i was able to get recovery to update my mcu is to insert the sdcard i made for the installation. is this the way it will be now, no recovery without that sd card in the gps slot at boot? thanks again

Try to get recovery through the shutdown menu. Long tap on the power button in the status bar to get the shutdown menu. And write, it turned out or not.
[MTCD Software Development] Gianpaice:
I see that White list works but i use sleep mode (my car doesn't take the long reboot). When i restart the radio, my music player doesn't remember the position of the track and doesn't auto start. Maybe i try MacroDroid but the waken from sleep isn't the same as the normal boot so i don't know what kind of event i have to do.
[MTCD Software Development] thecos77:
First i tried using the mcu update option in settings. It said restarting and the screen went black but radio was still on. Then i tried long press on power button, recovery and the same thing happened, screen went blank but it never restarted into recovery.

Basic question

Dear all

Firstly, thanks to Hal9k for his/her nicely attempts:good:

My unit is rk3188 with MTCD_KD_V2.41_1 MCU and Android 5.1.1 with 1GB ram.

I wanna ask if 1GB ram is appropriate for my device or it is better to use mod V1.x?

And also I want your points to use either Gapps or MicroG? Since I'm not familiar with MicroG but I understand its Pros for low-speed devices like mine.

Best regards:svetius:

[MTCD Software Development] bladehu2:
hi,

First of all thanks Hal9K for this great rom. Works fine so far.

I only have a small issue with lock function.

When I set pin or pattern lock the HU shows

"swpie to unlock" screen after I lock it with power button.

I think it would show only the pin pad as my phone do. But OK.

The problem is, that I can't unlock because I have to swipe from down to up but

there is not enough space on screen to success. Fortunately the voice

search button is works and it asks pin code so I could unlock HU.

I have 1024x600w screen, but it seems to swipe would have more than 600 pixel.

Do I forget something to set/calibrate? Is this working on same

size screen for anybody? Thanks.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
[MENTION=4780466]bladehu2[/MENTION], just swipe more quickly.
[MTCD Software Development] bladehu2:
LOL, indeed I wasn't enough quick :) Thanks again!

And finally my konnwei obd works with carista and dashcommand. Amazing.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
I noticed this.

But if I quickly swipe in the upper half of the screen, and not from the bottom to the top, it works.

[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
What is this function?

I have a Dasaita unit with a Bluetooth SD-968 chip, and the microphone works in Google apps. Because of this, I think this is a hardware problem in XRC units.

The oem folder contains 5 sub-folders, each containing a launcher and associated APKs.
[MTCD Software Development] s.rahus:
When we are on a call and and a second person calls us, there is no pop up or alert on the screen. We will not even know that someone tried to call us. There should be a way to interact with the second call when the first call is already in progress.

Okay. Thanks!

[MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION] What a great ROM! Thank you so much for your efforts!

It works well for me so far, nonetheless I have a few ideas or questions:

1. Android Security Patches

The ROM comes with Security Patches from May 2017. Is it possible to upgrade them to March 2018 or at least a newer state?

2. TWRP

Is it possible to flash TWRP? I would love to be able to do backup and recovery via TWRP.

3. Replace SuperSU with Magisk

Is it possible to use Magisk instead of SuperSU? Maybe as an option similar to replacing GApps with microG?

4. Accelerate boot up times

My device needs 35-40 seconds to fully boot. That is a little faster than the Stock ROM but still much longer than the usual car entertainment devices or radios. Is it possible to decrease the boot up time significantly?

5. Xposed

Hal9k_ said several times that integrating Xposed would "trash" the ROM and that he implemented several features without it. Nonetheless, is it possible to flash Xposed? Has anyone even tried? I would for instance like to use XPrivacyLua with it.

6. GPS & Bluetooth

I don't know whether or not this is intentional, but whenever I start the device GPS and Bluetooth will be started automatically, regardless of their last status. So even if they have been turned off, I would always have to deactivate them after each boot (when I do not need them). Is there a way to change this behaviour?
[MTCD Software Development] mac73:
How do I see if I have an old version of MCU?
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
I know you didnt, cant you tell from my post ?? Put the bootable sdcard in the unit, tuirn the unit on, eject sdcard as soon as "Nougat" appears on screen, then you will be in Nougat recovery.

Have you tried making a version with the video drivers form Lollipop ROMs, [MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION] ?

2) No, it was done on MTCB/C units but no one used it because TWRP is unable to flash MCUs, I dont even think anyone has bothred trying it on MTCD/E units. I use TWRP on my phones but, trust me for headunits its best to stick top the stock recovery.

4) What unit do you have ? - a 1Gb that originally came with L ?

5) Yes you can install Xposed.

6) Its standard for GPS and BT to be turned on at startup as both are normally required for driving and the car has a massive battery compared with smartphones where you may want them off for power saving reasons.

Thx to Hal9k i found my SD-slots :) And installtion worked like a charm. 2.1 Works really smooth and i am finally able to skip tracks via my steering wheel buttons. Thx a lot!

Unfortunately i feel like my sound isnt that good compare to the previous version. I found the often mentioned Viper but i dont know what to do with it. It seems like it's used for smartphones and headsets but not car radios. any instructions?

[MTCD Software Development] mac73:
This is the MCU version of my car radio. is it compatible with the ROM? Thank you
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
No, due to the fact that patches must be applied to sources that we do not have.

What is the profit of it ? What is it better than SuperSU, which copes with its tasks?

This is the minimum possible time. Use sleep mode.

Bluetootn in the radio is made not standard and does not turn off from Android.

Why turn off GPS in the Car Navigation System?

Unfortunately, they are built into the kernel.

If you turn on the general switch in the Viper, then, for example, turn on the equalizer switch and raise the high or low frequency controls, then you will hear a change of sound from the music player that should work in the background.

I installed Viper at your requests, but I do not use it myself. I do not have a ear for music. :)

[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
No. When switching from any other firmware, user data is automatically cleared.

This is necessary to avoid the negative impact of data from other firmware.

You can save the Data partition using third-party software, and then restore it.
