Date format

Hi,

In the images, where you show the initial screen (radio frequency with date and time etc) the date format is YYYY/MM/DD. Is there a way to change that to DD/MM/YYYY? Only happens on this screen, the date format is set correctly with Time and Date settings within Android settings.

Thanks!

[MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION] First of all, great rom! I'm very happy with it. I got a Xtrons with 1gb Ram in my car. I used MicroG in the previous versions and your rom runs like a charm. But i had problems with GPS for navigation and some APPs. Do i get a bad Gps-Signal because i use microG or ist it a bad gps-modul in my xtron device? any idea how to fix it? Sometimes it takes 15mins till i get the navigation in google maps. Right now, with the new version of your rom, im testing it without microG. But i cant say if i got a better gps-signal right now.

Is it possible to Change the "homescreen" and get rid of the Radio Widget and the clock? I wanna change the radio widget to the spotify widget.

Do you have any idea why i cant resize the spotify widget ? I try to get it on the "homescreen".

By the way, really nice screensaver with volume and mph (km/h). how can i get the speedscale to work? Only with active obd2 dongle?

thanks!

Bluetooth after sleep

I had try to set Bluetooth apps to not be in sleep mode, it's not working, someone had try to select an apps to not be in sleep mode ???

Is this will make that my Bluetooth will be working because after sleep it's not working, if I reboot my Radio, bluetooth is working !!

Thank's
[MTCD Software Development] korekore1:
you should place the gps antenna somewhere that it sees the sky.Not in the glovebox or anywhere hidden.

Gps should lock in 5 seconds max or there is a problem.Its not a rom problem or a microG problem

Hello. Where to set colorful button backlighting. Thank you.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
Type it in the terminal:

settings put system date_format dd-MM-yyyy

I think this is a hardware problem.

Check the antenna, cable, connector and cable inside the HU and its connection to the CPU board.

Use any other launcher.

It will work when you solve a problem with GPS

It depends on the application. Torque successfully restores the connection with Bluetooth OBD2 adapter after getting out of sleep, if you add it to the whitelist.

Hi, I have an 1GB PX3 device with stock Android 7.1.1

I tried your custom rom and was very happy that I can define new options for my steering wheel buttons over CAN.

Sadly the music often stuck and my navigation app crashes when starting the navigation (Here WeGo).

I was wondering if it is possible to downgrade my headunit to Android 5 for better performance?

I tried it the way how the devices can be upgraded to Android 7, but I only get an black screen when the recovery should appear and after restarting my Android doesn't boot. Can be fixed with an Android 7 recovery SD.

Hope you can help me :)

[MTCD Software Development] dojcubic:
I've just installed version 2.4 and it works generally well for me. I have one issue with the music application, which was also present on version 2.3: when set to random the app seems to generate new random number every time for a song change and then play that random song. However this has 2 problems:

- when pressing the back button, it does not play the previous song, but another random song

- it does not cycle through all songs (in random order), but can play a single song repeatedly and it can take a long time to play all songs.

What the app should do, if random song order is selected:

- internally randomize the order of the playlist, then play the list in that randomized order. This will ensure that every song is played once, and forward and back buttons work as expected.

Hal9000: can you fix the music app?

what do you need to do in order for the music app (or replacement, because the music app is very poor) can resume automatically from where it was before - when you power on the unit from sleep?

also, what is people using replacing the stock one that is so bad? Ive tried Poweramp, but it has bad interaction with bluetooth calling.

also: same thing happens with the bluetooth music app, which crashes a lot btw - it doesnt autoresume if I played music from the phone before.

[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
You must make the same boot card from the Android 5 firmware.

But, if you had Android 7 out of the box, there is no guarantee that Android 5 will work.

Added to my list.

Sygic uses TTS. Select the TTS application in the Mod settings.

Do you have Poweramp installed?

It would be interesting to know why the value of this option has changed.

Still, I advise to update the MCU and firmware at different times.

Yes, there is such an error in this version of the stock firmware.

Hopefully it will be possible to fix it in the next version of Mod.

The upgrade from 2.3 to 2.4 was getting stuck for me I think because I was on MCU 2.64. So what I did:

1) Updated with MCU 2.96 from HERE

2) Put dmcu.img from above mcu and Hal9k 2.6 nupdate.img into gps sd card

3) Created a file dmcu.ext and put a line in there "screen:1" (Optional for those with 1gb RAM 800x480 resolution version)

4) Updated MCU in recovery first

5) Go back into recovery and update ROM

Struggling with this one with OBD2 adapter.

Device is plugged in and communicating with unit OK, but with OBD fusion, and previously Torque Pro, I'm getting the popup about "Open OBD fusion when this USB device is connected?" I've chosen all the options one by one (OK with or without 'use by default', and also Cancel with or without 'use by default') but the popup just keep on appearing whichever I choose.

I don't want OBD fusion opening, unless I choose to open it myself, but I'll be stuck with this one!!

Same was happening with Torque Pro (and that also returned to opening screen every 40 seconds!)
[MTCD Software Development] LordAnpu:
Gapps are Google software framework and apps, and MicroG is lightweight implementation of that framework.

In car for me MicroG are better. Apps I use in car (like Fuelio) work well with MicroG, and those apps require Google framework. Google drive for backups, work too. And of course thanks to MicroG lightness my device start faster.

It have one downside, with every ROM update I must factory reset, or my Google account will not work.

MCU are separate from ROM so this topic is for different thread, but MCU update is important, and important is to always use your manufacturer MCU. There is thread about updating MCUs from different compatible manufacturer but I recommend to stick to your LM MCUs.

I update my device from this uploads, and for your LM latest is 3.01.

1. Install a terminal app from play store and use it for that command.

2. You can't simply overwrite a system app. Have you read that topic btw? It needs a patched mcu, but I don't suggest beacuse it is not for beginners (if you don't know how to use a terminal app then you are). If you're doing something wrong with mcu then HU could be bricked.
[MTCD Software Development] bdomi40:

Hi Typos1,

thanks for your post.

I just have this problem with our second HU, 1Gb RAM, RK3188, MTCE-LM-2.94sp_by_cs-x, Android 5.1.1

Before I keep on trying your trick some requests; to avoid other mistakes:

The usb stick should be prepared with the same firmware. What does it means? nupdate.img or sdupdate.img?

And should the stick be prepared with the sd-tool too?

Which formating need the usb-stick exactly? format FAT32 and units ???

When exactly do you remove the SD card, if the Nougat Recovery appears or if the hal9k screen appears, just before it goes to the "Nougat" reboot screen?

thanks for any help
[MTCD Software Development] rabenkind:
Thanks again to typos1. After one sleeples nigt. Today a tried it with this trick typos1 explained succesfull.

I prepared the stick with the 2.4 nupdate.img and used the sd-tool to prepare the sd-card with the 2.4

Short after reboot in the recovery I removed the card and followed hal9k's instructions from post #2 deals about tipp when coming from Android 5.1.1

Then I changed from gaags to microG like discribed but without activating the "GSM Part"

What does GSM-Modul means? Is it the surfstick?
