I couldn't resist the temptation to install V5.

It's waaay better than pure stock.

However i tried to phone a friend and he only heard noises.

I'll try to flash the rom again or wait for V6 :)
[FYT Android Head Units] yuvalmesika:
Did you used ok Google to make the call?
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
@gtxaspec

I localized the custom.app. I created a pull request that you can import.

I created the files (untranslated!) for de, es, fr, it, ja, nl, ru, zh-rCN, zh-rHK, zh-rKR; last 3 in case Joying will join :)

and then I translated for Dutch.

I also updated the Readme to "stimulate" users to help translate the app.

(Of course this is only visible and applicable after gtxaspec has imported my changes)
[FYT Android Head Units] sosfinger:
How could I help translating (italian)? Which file should I edit?

Sorry, but I never did that :o
[FYT Android Head Units] danstah:
I think this sounds like the same issue as on the joying factory ROM. I described it a few pages back but the gist is that with ok Google anywhere enabled the person you call only seems to hear noises and nothing else. The only way I've found to fix is disable ok Google anywhere and the ok Google in Google maps. Seems to be an issue that only happens when the head unit is actively listening for the ok Google activation phrase. It's been a real pain as using ok Google is such an amazing feature.
[FYT Android Head Units] hidroela:
if that the case we need to find a way to deseable it just in Bluetooth phone calls.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
No problem. As soon as gtxaspec has applied my changes he can post a link where you can read how to translate.

If you already want to start, take a look at attached file.

You see lines like:

<string name="Verifying_bundled_recovery_file_integrity">Verifying bundled recovery file integrity...</string>

The second part "Verifying bundled recovery file integrity..." is the part to translate into Italian (or whatever language).

The "<string name="Verifying_bundled_recovery_file_integrity">" is the identifier for the program. Do not change that one.

Note: If you are on windows use an editor that can handle unix/linux linefeeds. Do NOT use notepad, but use notepad++ or similar.

Once translated add the file to a post here.

Or create an issue on github on gtx's repository, attach it to the issue and mention for which language it is. This option is preferred as it won't get lost in the pages of posts her, and you can continue that one in case of an update/expansion.

Edit: please also mention your 2 digit ISO 639-1 language code. It saves us time from looking it up.

I just installed v5. It's awesome!! Installation was smooth and I didn't have any problems.

It's more responsive now, but I would add a free music player (anyone) because when you flash the ROM, you might be without WIFI or Internet available for a while (like my case) and then I just could listen to the radio.

The headunit now feels more responsive. It doesn't take that long since you press a button till the HU does something. Thank you for the work, waiting for your translation pull request to do the job.

Also, what's going to happen when you publish new versions of this ROM? Can we do a 'dirty update' and maintain all the programs or do we have to reinstall everything from zero?
[FYT Android Head Units] sosfinger:
Thanks, you made it very clear!

I'll start ASAP and hope to be helpful ;)
[FYT Android Head Units] derschnelle:
I just installed as well and had the exact same thoughts. A free music player would be awesome :).

The rom is really great, my device feels completely different. Thanks a lot!
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
A free open source music player is the Timber Music Player and supports Xposed.
[FYT Android Head Units] sosfinger:
I just attached translated file to a new issue called Custom Recovery Maintenance Tool - ITALIAN (IT) TRANSLATION on gtx's repository. Hope i did well :D
[FYT Android Head Units] Logicsystem360:
Arrghh ! Well i didn't see this thread until now.

Good work gtx.

Anyway, probably a obivious answer but the ROM is rooted ?$

It's daily suitable ? I have seen the issues
[FYT Android Head Units] dyabolikarl:
Yes Rooted.

I have installed it today not sure if it's daily suitable yet but it's seems good to me. Although I dont do any BT calling etc. Just audio stuff and torque pro.
[FYT Android Head Units] etrefal:
The radio app is there, but the icon has changed quite a bit. I had the same reaction as you when I first booted the GTX ROM. Look for a small red icon.
[FYT Android Head Units] carter.w.jason:
So both the Home and Mute button act as this trigger? My main issue comes from the unit lacking any front buttons

---------- Post added at 04:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 PM ----------

Does the option to set safe volume level at boot still work? Or would I now need to do that via Tasker?
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Yes and No. They both act as trigger but with different result.

The long-press HOME brings the android part in sleep.

The long-press MUTE only switches off the screen.
[FYT Android Head Units] carter.w.jason:
Ah, ok, I read your post wrong. I never found it due to not having any front panel buttons.

Could anyone share if using the Mute key on steering wheel does the same as the front panel button, in regards to turning screen off?
[FYT Android Head Units] gtxaspec:
We should figure out which method systemui calls, when you swipe down and select screen off...
[FYT Android Head Units] carter.w.jason:
This is all I see with logcat. Anything beyond that is out of my scope.

Not to big of a concern. Screen Backlight OFF (root) works and does not crash the system, just not as fast as the stock method.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cygery.screenbacklightoff

I'm actually trying to replicate a bug/feature of the PX5, it would retain state of the screen after sleep or acc on.
[FYT Android Head Units] micdesa:
Hi Guy, is it possible to install it without using the custom recovery?

I wnt try to install it as per default joying update process.

Thanks
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
No that is not possible. The Joying zips are signed zips. The standard recovery only accepts signed zips with the original Joying signing. There is no way in the world gtx can put that signing in the zips in his rom. This would mean a security breach, which is exactly the reason why this signing has been "invented". Same for signed apks, so you can not alter apks as Android would not accept them anymore.

Therefore you need a recovery that also accepts unsigned zips.

(like you can't alter the Facebook apk to do something like sharing data to companies, which now, due to signing, is completely impossible as we all know :p).
[FYT Android Head Units] micdesa:
Thanks......

I want avoid the risk of brick.......
[FYT Android Head Units] etrefal:
Same here - just mutes audio.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
The events in getting the steering wheel buttons are different from the hardware keys, although some lead to the same resulting method (function).

Currently only the MUTE hardware button is captured, I'll have a look at the MUTE steering wheel button. I wanted to have a look at the other steering wheel buttons as well, but time & motivation was lacking.

(And I'm currently integrating the 2GB PX5 models in my JET apk, as the Joying apks are indentical (having different names though), and things like "adb over tcpip", change DPi, change overscan parameters are pure Android anyway and have nothing to do with hardware types. Without a PX5 it is currently only simulating and "dry swimming")

---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 PM ----------

I just checked the mute function. We are already grabbing the final, resulting "mcuKeyVolMute" method.

As fas as I can check all mute functions, be it CAN bus, hardware or whatever, use this function.

So, theoretically, your steering wheel mute should already listen to the remapping. As it doesn't, we need to seek further.
[FYT Android Head Units] carter.w.jason:
I have now learned of Xposed module, Physical Button Music Control. It is even more powerful then Xposed Additions and does not break sleep.

Keyboard is now able to be remapped to whatever. So in theory, I'm now able to turn off/on the screen from the steering wheel.

I'm still trying to replicate the behavior of the PX5, it would not turn the screen back on after acc_off/sleep.

I will test new JET as soon as its out, on my PX5.
[FYT Android Head Units] sanangel:
[MENTION=520205]gtxaspec[/MENTION],

thanks for this so light rom. Would it be possible to know exactly which applications you have removed from Joying?
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
That's in the first post.

---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ----------

This Physical Button Music Control might be able to completely replace the XSofiaTweaker with regard to key mapping.

It would mean that XSofiaTweaker would only keep the boolean On/Off functions and the ACC_ON/ACC_OFF/Resume functions.

There is a small chance I might have a PX5 in near future so I started the JET modifications. (Only) a few users requested JET for PX5 (actually they asked: does it work on..), so I was slowly building/integrating a few things into it, like a nokill sofiaserver and the standard sofiaserver, both with extended navi_app.txt and a player_app.txt (as those two still only contain asian navi apps and mediaplayers apart from iGo and Google Maps, and poweramp and jetaudio).
[FYT Android Head Units] carter.w.jason:
For clarity to others that may be reading, this only works with the use of additional hardware to interface with the SWC
[FYT Android Head Units] Beatwolf:
Thanks, but it's not there for me. It's even crossed out in the "app settings" app. Oh well, guess I can install the original apk from somewhere.
[FYT Android Head Units] etrefal:
You could install one of the variants - or even the original app from the JET utility by [MENTION=2550900]surfer63[/MENTION], it's got plenty of choices.

Or may be this could be related:

[MENTION=2550900]surfer63[/MENTION]: I wanted to try the "Mark Morton Materialish no-frequency single page" radio APK (from JET 47) but after rebooting I had no radio app available... After reinstalling another variant it was back, so I tried again with the same results. Maybe there's something wrong with either the APK or the install itself? Or maybe my Subaru is allergic to the VW logo in the background.. :p
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
No that is not related. The last one is incorrect. It misses a / in the download path. These mods are so standard by now that I did not test the last one. And it shows immediately... ;)

I will release a fix today or tomorrow.
[FYT Android Head Units] etrefal:
Thank you! (again)
[FYT Android Head Units] Beatwolf:
Exactly the one I tried to download and install was "Mark Morton Materialish no-frequency single page. Once I installed one of the older ones it worked fine. Thanks for fixing this quickly Surfer63.
[FYT Android Head Units] JakaraRuus:
I have a couple quick questions:

1. Has any one tried installing magisk on this rom?

2. Has any one successfully made a twrp backup and restored it?

I just got my unit stable and don't want to take any chances.
[FYT Android Head Units] gtxaspec:
1. Doesn't work. We can't modify the boot partition.

2. Yes. TWRP has been working since we got twrp. Backup and restore works great, a real Time saver.
[FYT Android Head Units] derekbunch:
Has this reached a stable version yet?
[FYT Android Head Units] Beatwolf:
I would say it's pretty stable, depends on what you want to do with it of course. It's been stable as my daily driver for a couple of weeks now, but I don't do anything crazy with it; Nova Launcher (preinstalled), another car launcher, waze, google music, maps, a couple of widgets.

Btw. I retardedly and accidentially hit "install joying stock settings" in the Joying Extra Tools software, after that I panicked and installed hit "install android stock settings". Did this change any vital settings of the GTX-ROM? Should I reflash?
[FYT Android Head Units] JobKlimop:
I just installed the rom, did a dirty flash over the stock rom because I didn't feel lime reinstallong all apps, but I think it didn't install a launcher. I can open recent apps and apps with the hardware buttons. But the homescreen remains black with the standard android icon in the topleft corner. Is there a simple fix for this or do i have to reinstall stock and do a clean flash?
[FYT Android Head Units] etrefal:
What version of Joying's original ROM did you flash over?
[FYT Android Head Units] JobKlimop:
The latest version (january 2018)
[FYT Android Head Units] PoppaRoxie1986:
You should be fine as the "install joying stock settings" only refers to installation of the joying settings app rather than changing any of your settings. You are just selecting a different settings application.

Totally agree regarding how stable this rom (gtx 9a2) is. I've been running it too for a couple weeks as my daily driver. I'm hoping gtx takes it live (or into beta soon) :D.
[FYT Android Head Units] Beatwolf:
Thanks for clearing that up. This ROM is definetly a huge improvement to the stock Joying, my GF even commented yesterday that now the car-radio was much faster and better to use for her. She normally never notices stuff like this. Kudos to the devs.
[FYT Android Head Units] hidroela:
hi guys can this Bluetooth devices would work in our units

[FYT Android Head Units] fabien_m2002:
Hello

deos this ROM solve the losing GPS signal issue?

Thanks
[FYT Android Head Units] gtxaspec:
That's a hardware issue. ROM fixes other problems. Check your antenna and connection. Replace antenna is usually the better fix.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
There is no reason to use that. It is a bluetooth device giving your phone bluetooth connection to a "dumb" radio via the headphone jack. Your unit has already bluetooth. And the specs of your device mention it is for phone communication. You can't use it anyway to control your radio or use it as a steering wheel replacement.

Next to that: as far as i know not one single unit has a headphone jack.
[FYT Android Head Units] hidroela:
for some reason the Bluetooth on my unit never has work reliable , as a mater of fat i hate it . no mater what i do it is crap. i am not planing to used that device and be able to control it from the head unit. what i am trying to do is connect it using the RCA input an that's it . i hope this time i express myself better.
[FYT Android Head Units] etrefal:
Are you on one of the latest Joying ROMs? The december and january releases have helped a lot solving bluetooth problems. I couldn't use BT to stream music - it was choppy as hell, but after upgrading to the december ROM and then to GTX's ROM right after, all my BT streaming problems were gone..
[FYT Android Head Units] hidroela:
i don't have problems streaming Bluetooth for playing music my problem is for phones calls which get to the point where the other part after a while can not hear me any more or some time with a lot of statics.
[FYT Android Head Units] gtxaspec:
Do you have ok Google everywhere enabled? Or any other app that monitors the microphone?
[FYT Android Head Units] hidroela:
no i don't i heard that cause problems. and i don't know if any other app is causing the problem. usually when that happens i only got a internet radio station running using tether from my phone.

"Q: I like Live Wallpapers. How do I enable them?

A: Use the built in terminal. type su and hit enter. You now have root. then type in:

Code:

cp -R /system/vendor/oem/LiveWall* /system/apphit enter again, then reboot!"

This does not seem to work (v9a2). First the path above is not correct. I then tried to install livewallpapers picker, but it is crashing permanently. Any solution for fixing Live Wallpapers?
[FYT Android Head Units] wanb1i:
That depends on what you call stable.

I think it is better then any JOYING FW, but it still has issues.

My 8" single din:

I can't get a stable connection to my phone Hotspot, so no maps, streaming or anything that requires internet access.

I've tried the Bluetooth Tether & USB tether, neither of them worked. So I run maps & anything internet on my phone and basically listen to music on the HU.

It reboots about every 3rd time I turn off the car.

The backup camera has intermittently quit working and I backed into a little old lady in the Walmart parking lot. She ended up in the hospital!

My wife's Rav4 unit seems to work fine, connects to my Hotspot, Bluetooth works great, backup camera works every time and it hasn't rebooted since I installed it.

I have installed active cooling on both systems & they run much more smoothly. I'm not sure what the difference is between the units, they were both clean installs.

As an FYI, twrp works great, I have backed up & restored on both systems with no problems. The only problem is you can't get to twrp if the unit won't boot or boot loops.
[FYT Android Head Units] hidroela:
well in my case the problems that I was having where due the a custom ROM installed on my phone. switch ROM and now Bluetooth is working fine. thanks for all the subjection.

so for those running custom ROM in our phone that could be reason for some of the problems.
[FYT Android Head Units] etrefal:
I did try the USB tethering earlier this week, since my Galaxy S7 (SM-G930W8) has Bluetooth tethering disabled. The wifi hotspot worked fine, but my battery was heating up and draining faster than acceptable.

Someone in the defunct Joying forums wrote about this (I even think it's [MENTION=520205]gtxaspec[/MENTION]!) so I tried my hand at it.

I bought a very, very cheap USB 2.0 to Ethernet adapter from China and I already had a TL-WR703N travel router with OpenWRT on it but I couldn't install the required packages - not enough space on the tiny 4MB flash. So I ordered a GL-MT300N which has 16MB of flash and 64MB of RAM - plenty of space. After checking the already installed packages I realized that all that was needed was already there. So I plugged the USB adapter to the Joying unit, along with a 4-inch network cable to the LAN port of the GL-MT300N, and powered the router from another 12v-USB adapter that's already in the car. My phone is plugged in the USB port on the router.

After enabling the USB modem on the phone, and enabling Ethernet on the head unit (spelled Ehernet in the menus), I had an IP address and had internet access on the head unit! As a bonus, I get a wifi hotspot for my passengers - which can be disabled from the head unit by logging in the router.

It's slow, definitely slower than internet access directly on the phone, and slower than what I had with the wifi hotspot. I'm waiting for warmer weather so I can get all the wiring permanent, so that when I plug-in my phone, it charges and provides network access while using the same cable. I also want to power the router directly from the car - I already have a 3A 5v power source stored behind the head unit.

All in all, I'm very happy with that setup, especially since I had absolutely nothing to configure on the router! Now I have to cleanup my glovebox which looks like a rat's nest...
[FYT Android Head Units] IG_Vasilich:
i had some problems with Ethernet cables shorter than 20 cm in the past, so you could try to check speed with some longer than your current 4' cable.
[FYT Android Head Units] etrefal:
I'll try that, but I think that the cheapo USB to Ethernet adapter is the culprit. I'll make a longer cable after work and see if it helps.

Thanks for the tip!

It shouldn't ask you that question, installation should automatically begin, no questions asked. See the video in the first post. Try downloading again, or try different installation media. Corrupted partitions, Etc will result in failed installations.

I've tried with a longer cable today (36 inches vs 4 inches - 91 cm vs 10 cm) and the results were the same within 10%. About 3.5 Mbps in both cases. My uplink is way faster than that, so it's likely it's the usb/ethernet adapter that's slowing me down. But for an internet connection in the car, used for traffic, navigation etc. it's more than enough.

Make sure you use an ASIX chipset, and don't use a usb 3 variant. Lots of issues.

[FYT Android Head Units] Need4Camaro:
Hi all.

I just replaced my Joying system board with a 6021 model.

I was thinking of installing the GTX ROM but had several questions regarding installation and current functionality.

First question is this: What ROM and also what RESOLUTION do I need to upgrade to from the JOYING website to be compatible with upgrading to this ROM? I was originally using a JY-UL128N and the new systemboard (6021) is an Android 6 unit. I BELIEVE that now makes it a JY-UM128N but am not certain and also am not sure what the resolution is on this unit or what resolution I should select.

Second question is this: Does the GTX ROM come with Google Voice commands already functioning or do I have to add that functionality? Is bluetooth and GPS fixed and stable? and lastly will sofiaserv kill the Google Voice during bluetooth phone calls? What about the default GPS issue where you could only have audio from ONE GPS app which had to be set in your settings? Is all this working in the GTX Rom?
[FYT Android Head Units] gtxaspec:
1. 6021 works with either resolution, depends on your screen. What resolution screen did your unit come with?

2. Built in. Bluetooth and gps is the same as stock rom, always worked very well for me. I don't use the radio, so maybe someone else could answer:

I use Waze and I get audio all the time with any other music app, same with Google apps. I know using with Radio is different though.
