Dear Hal9k! Thank you for the gret new features in your fantastic rom. I have one question for experienced users. If I have Hal9K rom 2.0 installed with viper on my HU, do I have to make a clean install, or just have to delete viper and make a dirty install or just should i make a dirty install?I know it is recommended to make a clean install but unfortunately it takes to much time :( So what are the experiences? is it worth to make a clean install. will it be very slowly after a dirty install?
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
I think you can remove Viper's driver, than remove Viper's app and make install without wipe.

I'm always make install without wipe on my HU, installed in the car.
[MTCD Software Development] matrixx1:
Thank you for your answer. I decided to make an install with full wipe. Everything is super. Only one question. How can I give root for the mod app? Only way if I whitelist some apps then it asks me to reboot. When I press reboot then supers asks me to grant root for mod. But then it is impossible to press grant because it is wirteing over it that HU is restarting. But it isn't bc I cannot give root. How to solve this? How to trigger mod app for asking for root permission?

Btw Rom feels snappier :)
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
Hmm, really.

You can choose any screensaver in the corresponding menu item. This will call root rights request.
[MTCD Software Development] matrixx1:
I will try it out soon, thank you!
[MTCD Software Development] Scotsman828:
How do I change the launcher style?
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
[MENTION=1776198]Scotsman828[/MENTION], install any of the 5 launchers from oem using the Apk installer app and select the new launcher using the Home button menu.

Do not forget to read the note in the list of changes!
[MTCD Software Development] Scotsman828:
not quite understanding you, the Version 2.1 file that I downloaded did not have an OEM folder.
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Look in the "Apk installer" app.
[MTCD Software Development] Scotsman828:
Thank you, just found it! I'm already loving this FW.
[MTCD Software Development] PaivaX:
Is possible install on my device?

MTCD_KGL_v2. 47v5

Thanks
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
I think, yes.

but I advise you to update the MCU.
[MTCD Software Development] matrixx1:
Dear Hal9k, i really want to thank you for your great work, this rom makes the headunit 10x better and usable than with original rom. Theese latest changes are fantastic (for exampe beeing able to program swc buttons for android buttons as well that was a great idea) i am really thankfull, without you the headunit wouldnt be as good as it is now. Please keep up the good work, I really really am gratefull, which I will show you by sending you my gratitude in form of donation. Have a great day, cheers
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
[MENTION=3583906]matrixx1[/MENTION], thank you.

To 2.54?

Thanks a lot
[MTCD Software Development] LuNaTum:
Installed your fw today, thx for it! Will I see any benefits using microG? I have 2gb ram. Will it boot faster?
[MTCD Software Development] Epikarus:
Hi. I have a question. I purchased a head unit for my Mercedes C230. I haven't attempted to install any ROMs on it yet but I am considering doing so due to one big issue. The wheelkey study app that came installed shows a blank page instead a list of customizable buttons. Although the wheelkey app is blank, all my steering wheel controls, including the knob and buttons in between the driver and passenger seats work and perform mostly appropriate actions when pressed. Volume buttons work to change the volume, call answer and end buttons do what they are supposed to do. But I would really would like to customize some of the buttons, but since the wheelkey app isn't working it seems impossible.

I'm wondering would it be likely that this issue would likely be fixed if I install this or any custom rom? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
To the newest version you can find.

2.54 this is not enough new.

I was used it on Andriod 5 with 1 Gb RAM, but on Andriod 7 with 2 Gb RAM i am do not use it.

It's not a bug. This is a feature. :)

That's because you have a CANBUS adapter.
[MTCD Software Development] Epikarus:
Oh! Is it possible for me to not use the canbus adapter? Would just uninstalling the canbus be good enough to start utilizing customizable key setup?
[MTCD Software Development] assured:
First i installed v2.0 everything was working fine. I now installed the v2.1, and now i cannot het in Google play store. After signing in the app stops working. Any tips or fix to make this work, thank you
[MTCD Software Development] cupi1234:
Yess !!! Thank you !!!
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
This should be asked from a Mercedes specialist.

If you have resistive buttons, maybe you can connect them directly to KEY1 / KEY2 wires.

Have you used microG? If yes, you need to switch again.
[MTCD Software Development] assured:
I did used it, But when i checked after the update it was still on microG, do i have to turn of and on microG?
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
Yes, you need to select microG once again, although this is not obvious.
[MTCD Software Development] assured:
Can i do a wipe after i did the update? If yes ill do the wipe and start over with it. How do i do the wipe after i did the update?
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
Then just reflash with wipe from recovery. It will be easier.
[MTCD Software Development] yellowbox:
Will this rom work with my px3 unit and not affect functionality of my unit's buttons?
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
Should work properly.
[MTCD Software Development] Hoppengeist:
Do you see any chance Hal9k to modify the vehicle.apk also? The data inside could maybe be used to have nice features also in the ROM (Just thinking of maybe a global message to fasten your seatbelt or release your handbrake when driving).
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
What do you mean "vehicle.apk" ? There is no such file in the firmware.

To implement such a task, it is necessary that the relevant information come from the car.

And a can-bus decoder must be able to read it and transmit it to the HU.

So it will be highly dependent on the can-bus decoder and car type.
[MTCD Software Development] Hoppengeist:
This app: „““htt(removethis)ps://goo.gl/images/ytGSZv““““

Name might also be Canbus.apk, sorry for the confusion

I thought it was part from the ROM because I did not install it, where does this come from? I also found a thread regarding this app here on xda and no one really understands this app
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
It is possible to remap SWC on cars with CAN Bus, use Grasser app or MTCD tools, or ask [MENTION=744370]ikerg[/MENTION] as I cant remember exactly how to do it.

All ROMs have a variety of apps which appear or disappear depending on what CAN Bus is set to in factory settings (or if it is set at all). The app varies depending on what vehicle it is set to and so does its functionality and GUI. Sometimes its called "vehicle apk" other times its called "control settings" there are other names too. These apps speak to the car via the CAN Bus decoder and get and/or send info to from the car.

Some cars, like VWs are well supported by HCT (the manufacturer of the SoM/software) others are not supported at all and no app appears when the vehicle type is selected in CAN Bus/factory settings. [MENTION=472138]hal9k[/MENTION] would have to have an example of every single car in the CAN Bus list to be able to do what youre asking [MENTION=9003681]Hoppengeist[/MENTION] which clearly is not possible. Some people have tried to mod a particular version of one of these apps with varying degrees of success, you will have to search the forum to find examples.

My unit can't see the update file although I had recently updated the Mtcd_mx_v2.59_1 to the v1.2 using the same method settings system update etc

. How can I go to the recovery mode?
[MTCD Software Development] nosidefcp:
[MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION]can we roll back to your 5.1 ROM?
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
Yes. In the same way, as was installed 7.

But why ? ;)

requests for the Music app

I've installed version 2.0 today and I am very happy with this release. It is a very good improvement over the factory software my PX3 radio came with. So far it seems all functions are working for me, although I haven't tested making a phone call via bluetooth yet. I have some requests for improvements to the Music app:

can you add a third view mode which will hide the lyrics/FFT widget and simply expand the ID3 tags all the way to the right side of the screen. My MP3 files don't have any lyrics embedded and I wouldn't want to read those while driving anyway. And I also don't want to look at the FFT display. It woud be nice if the toggle buttom would become a 3-way switch to toggle between these 3 modes.

In the selection window for directories/albums/artists/favorites, can you sort the lists alphabetically. Currently they don't seem sorted, and my 8GB music collection with many directories or albums/artists will show several dozen entries. Without having them sorted it is difficult to find something.

It seems the software wants to start up with the last used app, often the music app, when powered on. Can we make this configurable and provide a setting to not restore any previously opened/running apps, but simply show the start screen? When I start driving in the morning I don't want the radio to automatically start playing MP3 and radio, but have my manually start either one.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
[MENTION=8887469]dojcubic[/MENTION], good propositions.

I'll think about their implementation.
[MTCD Software Development] Hazard15301:
Im loving the rom so far. I have one issue though. When I have my phone connected via Bluetooth, I can make a call, and my px3 picks it up fine, displays the dialer on the screen correctly. Everything is fine when initiating from the phone. If I try to start the call from the px3, either by using Contacts or ok Google/assistant, nothing happens. Any ideas?
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
[MENTION=7047926]Hazard15301[/MENTION], For this there is a wonderful utility from [MENTION=7621504]f1x[/MENTION], [Release][PX3|PX5] MtcDialer :: Make hands-free calls
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Yes I agree with this - years ago people modded the MTCB/C music app to make the track list wider.

The music app sorts albums alphabetically by artist, so it looks like its random, but its actually not - you get all the albums from artists beginning with "A" then all albums from artists beginning with "B", etc. Its stupid (its HCT's fault, [MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION], not yours). I sort all my music into an artist folder and inside a folder for each album. I d like the music app to just display them as I have sorted them - ie display all folders alphabetically.

Also, the box with the cross in it to turn the screen off is very useful, but I d rather the screen did not come on again if "volume + ", "volume - ", "mute", "next track" or "previous track" are pressed - if youre driving with the screen off and you just want to turn the volume up or down, or change if track the screen comes back on so you have to turn it off again, its very annoying. Again not your fault [MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION], its Klyde's, but it would be good not to have to turn the screen off again every time you turn the volume up or down !

Installing True Contacts should make voice dialling using Google work, at least it does on MTCB/C units, so worth trying on MTCD/E.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
True contacts are not needed on my ROM. It have original Contacts app.

Also, it have a dark screen saver that does not respond to the steering wheel and volume buttons.
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Oh, ok I havent tried it in the car yet only on the bench.
[MTCD Software Development] Hazard15301:
I did try MtcDialer before I posted the question. It force closes immediately. As far as the other app, I didn't see one called True Contacts. I'm assuming you meant Truecaller? It has a dialer built in.

The stock contacts app doesn't work for me for making calls.

Also, one more thing. Is there any way to make Daydream/screen saver work outside of the stock launcher? If I change to Nova launcher, it stops working.
[MTCD Software Development] sousa_2005:
strange things...

first time I installed this rom, was superfast.

Then, by mistake i selected microg and bumm, blazing fast... but then reverted to Gapps and erros and error...

had fo format and reeinstall.

The problem now is the speed. The system is sllw now...

don´t know why...
[MTCD Software Development] Hazard15301:
I had the same issue. Seems the flashing back and forth aspect can be a little buggy. Sometimes the recovery doesn't initialize, sometimes GApps doesn't come all the way back after reverting from MicroG. It's a nice feature though.

On my previous issue, I used Truecaller in conjunction with MTCDialer to get voice dialing working. The stock contacts by itself doesn't seem to do anything when pressing the phone icon to call.
[MTCD Software Development] dojcubic:
songs not ordered alphabetically in music app

I have the impression the music app doesn't sort at all. Not only doesn't it sort the directories or albums lists, as I've described in an earlier post, but it also doesn't seem to sort the songs. Look at my picture, all my songs start with a 2 digit number that would be the correct order of the songs on the album. But the order on the song list seems completely random. They are not ordered by filename and they would also not be in order according to the song title.

I can't post my photo of the music app here, as I'm a new user.
[MTCD Software Development] s.rahus:
Hi Hal9k_,

I was waiting for this ROM and within hours of you uploading it, I flashed it on my unit. As expected, its super snappy and smooth, the app launch time has noticeably reduced- fantastic. Nice too see that you fixed the common bug of music player not getting paused when muted and during calls.

(1) I use PowerAmp full version and I am sure many others are as well. When we press mute, the song is not getting paused (it's just getting muted and the playback continues), same during the phone call as well. Can you fix this for PowerAmp as well?

(2) Can you by any chance try to fix this microphone issue- https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/...sue-microphone-outside-bluetooth-app-t3694314

[MTCD Software Development] LuNaTum:
Hi!

With the 2.1 rom the screen is dimmer than it was when I used stock or malaysk rom. Do you know a way to get the screen brighter?
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
You mean to increase RAM size?

It will not help. I think the reason is that the 7.1 core is builded for a different video output chip.

In what mode? Day or night ?

I set the minimum brightness in the night mode by default. But you can to change it in the settings.

Nothing more changed in brightness relative to the stock.
[MTCD Software Development] LuNaTum:
I will need to check if nightmode is somehow active, I did not know there was one. The problem is that at daytime it is dimmer than it used to be

And thank you for fast replies and for the rom! Other stuff is working better than it worked with other roms atleast so far!
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
The night mode is activated when you turn on the parking lights.

At the same time, the button illumination is turned on. At daytime the buttons are not illuminated.

The night mode brightness regulator is in Display settings.

Also check the daytime brightness regulator.

Thanks for the feedback.
[MTCD Software Development] Epikarus:
I tried to install this ROM. I get the prompt to install it, but when I select install I get "Error!". ( See attached image) I read in this thread to use the GPS slot with an SD card. I'm unsure what this means. I remember that one of the slots was labeled GPS on my unit but how do I use an SD card with a USB slot? With an SD card reader? I also don't remember which cable is connected to GPS slot and which is connected to the USB1, but I hoping I can just trial and error it. What is the purpose of having a USB slot for GPS?

I tried the MTCD tools app but the original mapped keys actions are still triggering. Additionally some buttons do the same task/action which I would like to differentiate. I was hoping that I would be able to map different actions to these buttons, but it seems that the canbus is essentially sending the same code to the unit when either of the buttons are pressed meaning, I'm assuming, it would be impossible to assign different actions to them.

I've never heard of the grasser app. I'll give it a try though.
[MTCD Software Development] LuNaTum:
Your unit does not have sd card slots? Most units have two sd card slots and also a couple of usb ports.

it's on an opel astra j car. i would really like to try the rom.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
I think yes.

You have px3 CPU, for which this ROM is intended.

And the MCU is also quite actual.
[MTCD Software Development] s.rahus:
I can confirm that you can dirty flash the ROM (install without wipe) and Viper4Android would still work without issues. No need to remove driver or the app.

The tweaks you made to the music player is just perfect, I no longer miss PowerAmp.

The screenlock, the screensavers all well implemented. Snappier smoother and no xposed, this is getting better.

Working on MTCD_WWW "Eonon" HU

Your 2.1 ROM is working great on my vehicle-specific PX3 MTCD_WWW head unit. My device is for fitment in 2004-2009 Mazda 3 models and is "Eonon" branded . I put the image file on an SD card and put that in the GPS slot. The stock Android was also 7.1.2, but I can see now there was something wrong with it. It was laggy and slow. I thought the hardware was lousy since performance was a fraction of what I'm used to on my Nexus 7 (2013) tablet. Flashing this ROM makes it work properly! The screensaver/Daydream functions, the sleep whitelist and resume apps features are great. Keep up the good work!
[MTCD Software Development] dojcubic:
I've installed version 2.1 and it works well for me. I like the sorted lists in the music player, and the option to not start (recent) applications after boot. Thanks to Hal9k_ for the update.
