I am just referring to the DIS (Driver Information System) that is in the middle of the instrument cluster in my Audi. With the OEM RNS-E head unit I get much neater information displayed here - MP3 track name and current playtime, Radio RDS information, satnav turn signals and bluetooth phone contact details (or number if there is no contact stored).

With the Android unit the CanBus functionality seems very limited and you get much less on the DIS - I get MP3 track number and playtime as long as its the OEM music player (i.e. using Google Play Music you get nothing displayed), I get the radio frequency (no RDS) when the OEM radio app is running (most of the time), when you change the volume it sometimes displays this in the DIS but rarely, no satnav instructions are ever displayed and no bluetooth call details are ever displayed. It also 'sticks' and you'll get 'VOL 10' or whatever was the last CanBus command sent displayed that just stays there until you change radio frequency or start the OEM music app and play a track.

There are a couple of other threads on here regarding FIS/DIS displays and CanBus functionality so it might be worth having a read on there and hoping the CanBus apk can be backward engineered to add more functionality?

yes ok works. with the brightness how does it work? how are the settings to be made here.
[MTCD Software Development] twist:
The canbus interface is actually a physical unit (the brown looking box you plugged in) and I have never cracked one open but I doubt it can be easily modified, even if you were able to read and write to the chip in it.

I like the enthusiasm, if you figure anything out let us know!

Brightness, you have max value and min value, usually 250/10, then you set minutes before and after sunset, and every 10 minutes, app subtract a step to max value, for sunrise is opposite, set step before/after sunrise, and every 10 minutes it add step to minimum value.... for me works very well, I'm happy using my app! Hope you too!

Hello, guys! I just installed this ROM on one brand new MTCE device. It is really awesome, so thanks to Malaysk and all his helpers.

I have one little question. Is there any way to remove the POWER button from the statusbar?

Thank you!
[MTCD Software Development] ervius:
You cannot, maybe only smaling... settings.apk, or mctmanager.apk, Don't know...
[MTCD Software Development] vassandrei:
Random question, but is it possible to use speed value from an obd2 adapter via torque instead of GPS speed to control volume for your app?

https://torque-bhp.com/wiki/PluginDocumentation

Using the torque api somehow. I'm just not sure if it's really difficult or not... But that would be amazing, because sometimes GPS loses signal and volume can adjust incorrectly.
[MTCD Software Development] LinkseD:
Hello all,

is there a possibility to change the volume bar appearance?

I would love to have it at the bottom of the screen instead in the middle.

Recently I found Google Maps has rendering problems in night mode especially when rotating the map. Going back to an earlier version fixed it. I'm currently running 9.79.2. Maybe it has to do with the target Android version. Also I found Jota (text editor) would not install on Malaysk 2.0. These are minor points, it works great.

Hi everyone,

When I create the first bootable SD I simply boot into recovery mode, The upgrade does not start automatically like in this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jv-IkuMls1g

(In this video the upgrade starts,then there is an erasing message, I get none of that and boot straight into recovery mode)

I'm assuming once I am in recovery mode I insert the second SD and upgrade system (not MCU)

Can anyone help?

Thanks

The new Seicane unit does not have a SDCard slot any more. instead they added 2 USBs to the rear. (plus the original harness USB) Is it OK to install via the USB? thanks
[MTCD Software Development] ADB100:
I think its the CanBus box and the CanBus software running on the head unit that work in unison as its proprietary. I am fairly sure the OEM apps make calls to the CanBus software which in turn tells the CanBus box to write something onto the bus. Apps like Google Play Music don't make calls to the CanBus app so that's why nothing is ever displayed and its only the OEM apps that do this.

I am guessing its all 'doable', however its beyond me...

Compatibility help

Hi,

I have a HeadUnit builded by the "Idoing" manufacturer whit these specs :

Model: PX5

ANDROID 8.0 Version: px5-userdebug 8.0.0 OPR5.170623.007 eng.htc.20180122.155617 test-keys

MCU version: MTCE_HA_V2.75_1

Nov 29 2017 12.48.53

CPU: 8 core 64-bit CPU Cortex-A53 @1.5G

Memory: 4GB

It is safe to try installing these version of ROM, or is not compatible for my HU ?

Thank you
[MTCD Software Development] Lum_UK:
So almost completely happy with my build now, got a few minor niggles.

Contacts sync doesn't work. I tried the APK posted earlier in the thread, and make it a system app using TiBu but this didn't fix it. Any ideas?

I can't get MTCD-Utils xposed module to work. I've made the directory /sdcard/mtcd-utils with the 3 ini files in, and enabled the module, but it doesn't seem to work. I'm trying to remap the mode button to cycle between google maps, home and torque but it just sticks with the stock apps.

(Unrelated to ROM) My cheap fake ELM327 dongle somehow manages to randomly screw up the car's speedo and turn the ABS light on, so I need to get an actual good one. Bonus points if it can read whatever value cruise control is set to on my 2012 Toyota Auris TR. Not sure if I want to go with Bluetooth or USB.
[MTCD Software Development] KAOS313:
Install the APK posted earlier. Go into settings on the google contact app or the google account settings and turn on "sync contacts". Reboot the unit and check to see if that setting is still turned on. Once you reboot and the "sync contacts" stays turned on it should sync as it is supposed to. At least that is what I did. But I had to do a few reboots while messing with those settings and it finally worked.
[MTCD Software Development] DFS90:
Open settings, press the “magnifying glass“ button and search for “metered“ or something similar (sorry, I don't know the exact term as I use the German version).

The menu exists but isn't linked. Using search, it's still accessible.

[MTCD Software Development] Mr.R™:
Installed my headunit and then this yesterday, working perfectly. As someone else said connection via WiFi seems quite slow, sat in my car the speed isn't half that of my phone connected to the same WiFi sat in exactly the same spot.

Getting into recovery was straightforward, sd card loaded straight away and erasing came and went pretty much instantly. Upon booting to recovery I had no control of it, buttons nor touch did anything so all I could do is reboot so I rebooted back into the standard Rom with sd card 2 inserted and it found the update and let me install it without issue. Reboot took about 5 minutes at most.

All in all very happy so far. Now to spend hours if not days setting it all up and working out all the features lol.

One question, is it possible to backup the mcu from within the Rom? I want to submit it to the mcu patch thread to get it sound patched as mine isn't available in the thread as of yet but obviously my recovery isn't fully functioning :-|
[MTCD Software Development] Knight Rider78:

I had no issues when I moved over to this Rom, it flashed and erased instantly so check your sd card is set up correctly and maybe try a different card. I used a 32gb SanDisk class 10 card :)

Heey guys,

I feel a little stupid... Never really bricked a device before, always stay away of the trouble by following all the steps... Hope someone can help. I think I (soft)bricked my unit, hope i can unbrick it again. Let me explain. Note that i don't panic very fast and that i am experienced with flashing on phones. Also flashed the Malaysk software based on 6.0 several times.

First i tested how to go into recovery (hold power 10 seconds, release and press it again). Worked everytime.

So i made the 2 sd-cards. Did the first one, updated the recovery succesfull, released the SD-card and tried to go into recovery. Well, that didn't work... I only saw the Malaysk-mod screen and after that, nothing... only a dark screen (that was on/back-lighted). So rebooted by holding the power-button and tried again to enter recovery and again, etc... Didn't work, i couldn't get into recovery anymore! So no panic for me. The first card worked like a charm the first time, let's try again! After all, instructions say I should enter recovery directly, it's critical! first card into the slot and flash recovery again. Works the same as the first time. Sadly, entering recovery also was the same....

And now the worst part, while rebooting the unit, the screen stays black completeley (not 'on-black' like before, just really black! like no power is on the screen). When holding the powerbutton, the unit doesn't restart in the Malaysk-mod screen! When holding down the power-button, the speakers get power (I hear a 'bop' that says the amp is powered. I always get that sound when turning on the radio or restarting the radio/amp) so the unit is doing 'something'.

Someone knows what I can do to unbrick and how I can get into recovery again? Fingers crossed!
[MTCD Software Development] Mr.R™:
Can you get into normal recovery?

If the sd card has been created correctly rightfully it should work and is likely down to your unit. The px5 string for your device as shown in the first post may help.

To other users of this Rom, is anyone else having issues with usb devices not coming back after a sleep? Come to the car in the morning, USB dashcam works, after sleep app is still running (whitelisted in mtce settings) but the actual dashcam isn't running, same with a USB kkl cable I use for btssm (obd app), if so any solution?

Thanks for your help! Sadly no luck yet. Screen stays completely black. Not even the backlight turns on. I do hear 'the pop' in the speakers when turning on the car or when resetting the unit (10 seconds holding the power-button), so something is going on in the unit. I also hear the same 'pop' in the speakers after about 1,10 minute. The unit seems to restart itself, only I cant see anythiing, stays black...

Anyone has got any idea?
[MTCD Software Development] Aran:
So I found out something went very wrong and/or i made a big mistake (probably the last!).

I never saw the 'erase' after flashing the 1st SD card. At this time I tried rebooting so many times I don't exactly remember what went wrong but I'm afraid I tried to go in recovery too early by resetting the unit before 'Erase' was done.

Result is a real brick I am afraid. Really nothing happens on the screen when starting the car. Only the 'pop' through the speaekers that tells me the amp gets power from the unit. Same pop comes afther 1.10 minute and then again after 1.10 minute. Also the pop comes when resetting the unit by holding the powerbutton and releasing it after 10 seconds. Somewhere in the unit, something is happening ut I have no idea what...

Anyone has made the same mistake or had to deal with the same issue?

Is there any turn-off delay on Malaysk ROMs for PX5 (2-4Gb) 8.0 Android Oreo?
[MTCD Software Development] Mr.R™:
I'd try doing it blind, unplug any other USB devices or sd cards, do the same as when you got it to run the recovery update the first time and just leave it, go for a drive and hope it does its job and comes back to life.

In my experience you don't have to catch the reboot to flash the second card. After I did the first card and saw it say erasing I left it and let it boot and installed the Rom using the stock update option with full wipe, worked no issue

Yes

To both of you with issues, the px5 string that identifies your hu would help :)
[MTCD Software Development] pir8man:

[MTCD Software Development] Aran:
Heej, thanks for the response!

It does seem to have some of the same problems.

- I also have a GS-unit (though there is a big K from KLD on the back of the unit, but mayby that's just the box...)

- I can hear that the unit starts 3 times, everytime with about 1.10 minutes in between. SCreen stays black, so i can't see this. But i know for sure it's restarting. The 'pop' from the speakers only sounds when the amp gets power and that is when restarting and when starting the car.

How did you manage to try it over and over. At this time I can't see anything and i didn't manage to flash anything else since second time... So flashing a new MCU will be a challange! Wondering how you did this!

I will try to do it 'on the blind' like [MENTION=394203]mr.r[/MENTION]tm adviced.

BTW I used a MTCE-MCU for a few days! IT was a GS-MCU from the CS-X mod. But I flashed it back to the original GS-MCU (2.78 i believe before trying to flash Oreo.

Something else, are you happy with Oreo now? Was it worth all the hussle? Or was 6.0 better in some ways?

Hello,

since today I have a problem with my Xtrons PB780LOP unit, and maybe someone can help me with this :fingers-crossed:

I am running Malaysk ROM 2.0 on it for 3 weeks and everything was working fine.

But since today the device is not booting anymore. When I turn the device on it shows the boot logo, then the boot animation and then the "android is starting" message for 2 seconds, then the screen turns black.

The backlight is still on but the screen only shows black.

It happened when I rebooted the device.

This is what I tried so far: I booted into recovery, updated the MCU, then did an update from SD to flash Malaysk 2.0 again and cleard the cache. The device is still not booting though.

If someone has an Idea please let me know! :)

EDIT: I was able to resolve this with a factory reset. I wanted to avoid that because of the time it takes to reconfigure everything but oh well :D

EDIT 2: After I ran into the same problem again I figured out what was causing it. I was using "SystemUI Tuner" to force a global immersive mode (hide the status bar) which was working fine until the device reboots. Now I'm using "Immersive Mode Forcer - Xposed" to just force certain apps into immersive mode, this doesn't cause any problems so far.
