Thanks a lot for youre help i reallly appreciate it!

Since my Unit is just 6 weeks old i will try to send it back to the seller via Ebay. Lets see what happens. I have payed whit Paypal.

If it was a Unit out of waranty i would try youre hardware mod.

Btw where are you from?

I try evry thing from phone from radio , change the type of Bluetooth from factory setting but no response

I notice there is no name or password in Bluetooth setting and when I write it and restart the radio the name and password disappear again.

So I go back to Android 6.0 1 malask version 7.2. It work good :good:
[MTCD Software Development] aliakin:
in the beginning everything works fine until you navigate to an address you see a line how you have to drive but the map disappeared. It works well with android 6.0.
[MTCD Software Development] Malaysk:
I have the same problems as you !! I have a device with 6 android and 2 GB Ram. It has a slot for SD cards.

The problem is that it does not accept bootable SD cards. This SD card slot is connected to the display board by a wire, rather than to the motherboard.

I have an old device with android 5.1 Joying MTCD with 1gb ram.

I removed the motherboard with the processor Som 2gb 6 android and moved it to an old 5.1 Android device and installed a new firmware with 8 android. There it accepts bootable SD cards.

I was offered this by a seller of device from Russia. He trades only in Russia. I do not know the real of cost Som 4gb 8 android.

Anyone knows how to show the CPU temperature in Cool Tool?

/sys/rockchip_thermal/temp Does not exist on my HU after the upgrade to Android 8. That's what I used on the Android 6 ROM. There is a /sys/rk 3386/temp or something file. I can read it with a text viewer, but cool tool shows some 110! value or something all the time (can't really read what it is exactly, but no actual temp. Any idea what's wrong? Theres also a replace and other settings, not sure what to enter there.
[MTCD Software Development] xdamember2:
I think px5 android 8 supports conventional means of monitoring the cpu temp. I use Simple System Monitor.
[MTCD Software Development] attilalovesfun:
All i want to do is the same as you Archie_Slap. Did you find a way to do this? Really just want to root and keep the stock rom
[MTCD Software Development] xdamember2:
I don't know a reliable way to root other than Malaysk but I've got a couple of questions for you. Does the stock rom allow adb over wifi? If not, maybe after the appropriate setprop? My other question is, sorry for my ignorance, how can one modify the stock mtcmanager, which is odexed? Or is there another way to whitelist? I'm ok with what I have, just curious.
[MTCD Software Development] CelticWebSolutions:
Did you ever get a reply to this? I don't appear to be able to setup my 4g USB stick to use this rom on my head unit :( Seems odd to have removed such functionality...
[MTCD Software Development] twist:
I have 3 diff sticks and none of them have worked on any of the px3 or px5 android 7 or 8, stock or not systems I have used. There is always something screwy. I had 1 that would connect, but only as an ethernet device and when it was plugged in, it would disable the wifi until it was unplugged lol. I have never been able to get a stick to work right on ANY of these.
[MTCD Software Development] bommelkopp:
So: How to do??

Better: How to get root without flashing custom rom?

And after that: How to get a rom backup??
[MTCD Software Development] droidmanuser:
Yes, I've already found a solution. It's a little bit tricky, but the menu I searched for is still in ROM :)

But I'm not sure if this works for you... I've used a 4G dongle too and this one was not working. If it seems so, try PPP widget...

Here you are: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76412180&postcount=937
[MTCD Software Development] twist:
Yah PPP widget only worked on the one that gave me an ethernet connection, which disabled wifi. The other one it wouldnt put into the proper mode.
[MTCD Software Development] erdloch:
Hello droidmanuser,

so you found a way to use a 4G dongle without wifi? Can you tell me which one you are using and how you did the setup/connection? Do you use PPP Widget 3?

Thank you!
[MTCD Software Development] FaySmash:
how did you swap from superSU to magisk?
[MTCD Software Development] CelticWebSolutions:
Yes. Everything still works
[MTCD Software Development] skezza:
So what do you gain, other than root?
[MTCD Software Development] CelticWebSolutions:
Thanks for the reply. I found the settings for APN purely by accident a couple of days ago. Strangely though if I ever weed the apn details, when I selected to save, nothing was saved! I’ve tried lots of times but it just won’t work :(

PPP Widget doesn’t appear to want to work properly either.

Any suggestions on how to get the apn settings to save?
[MTCD Software Development] Archie_Slap:
I haven't yet.

I've tried a few different options but nothing has been successful.

We'll just have to wait until someone a lot smarter than me finds a solution or someone like [MENTION=7621504]f1x[/MENTION] develops something similar to mtcd tools for whitelisting.

The best option I've explored is to use mtcd tools (if you look at f1x's profile there is a link there). His program let's you bind a steering wheel key to launch an app.

I then used taskers app factory to make an app that starts tasker and torque, waits 0.25 seconds and then shows home. I bound this to a long press of my mode button.

This way when I get in my car I long press mode, mtcd tools launches the app which refreshes the tasker monitor and opens and closes torque. It works pretty seemlessly.
[MTCD Software Development] bettuccio:
On Oreo Px5 I recommend using 2 applications like Tasker that will never be killed when the screen is suspended. I tried them all and these are the only ones that always work and do not ask to activate "accessibility settings" every time . I'm talking about "Automagic premium and Droid automation Pro". I assure you that they work better than Tasker who is killed. Resolve your automation problems by launching all the applications you want when you wake up. Not having the root yet I can not create a White list and this is the only way to work.
[MTCD Software Development] droidmanuser:
I've used the Vodafone K5150 (Huawei).

This dongle only worked with PPP widget for me. But you have to change some settings in the widget before to get this dongle working. Don't search for mobile signal bars and operator name, these icons are missing and not supported maybe. I also can't tell you which settings I had changed, I'm using a Huawei E303 atm.
[MTCD Software Development] Archie_Slap:
Thanks for the lead. I'll look into these. Do you need to use them both?
[MTCD Software Development] tw39515:
really screwed the pooch on this one, updated the wrong mcu and the screen size is to big for the radio and half the stuff doesnt show up. i tried hooking up external monitor with no luck. any way to change the display size back. thanks tw
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
Enter into recovery by using reset button (press and keep pressed until you see the button lights blinking...release and press again just one second and release....recovery will appear) there you have an option for upgrading mcu. This time use the correct mcu

how long is the cold boot time
[MTCD Software Development] Riphans:
Hi.

I tried several times w/o any luck installing sd_update from page 1. i had tried different sd cards due to install error, when installing the firmware, I allmost gave up, but then i decided to install the sd_update inside the sd tool folder, that did the work for me. it installed satis to Android 6, and from that i could install the malaysk sd_update, and the ROM.. everything seems to work.

But still having trouble with Autoguard (no video).

Thanks to Malaysk for great work :)
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
Aprox 15sec

[MTCD Software Development] Silverhwak763:
really that would be then as with the original rom. I just read that took some of the cold start 50 sec
[MTCD Software Development] bettuccio:
No, one is enough for you. The most complete is Auto Magic premium . Instead If you want the simplest things you have to use Droid automation pro. Personally I use both and there are no conflicts.

Watch this video I shot. You do not need any white list and no root. After switching on the screen after sleep, everything will work.

[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
I didn't try on malaysk...15secs is from stock.

But what's the matter of cold boot time...when during normal operation your unit must wake up from sleep which is instantaneous

Just a quick note, i was having a hell of a time getting this ROM onto my new Hizpo 4Gb, PX5 unit.

I was using 2x SD cards and following the instructions but kept getting the signature invalid message when trying to apply to update.zip OS 8.0 part.

I ended up using the same SD card that i was using to create\boot the recovery and that resolved the issue.

Its strange, both cards are fully functional but for some reason, the Trancend (i think it was) card was giving me signature errors, but my samsung SD card that i was using for SD Recovery booting ended up working once i put the update.zip on it. No more signature errors, and was able to install the OS.

FYI, the recovery keypresses i used was..

Power (click + hold)

Click Reset (while holding power)

Release power

Press Power once

Not sure if this is correct, i tried a LOT of other combinations but this seemed to get me in.

I also had no flashing lights ever on my unit, except for when it is plugged into the car and the illumination \ headlights are on.

Does anyone know how to use a root-cloak type app on OS 8.0 or with this Malaysk Rom? I need to hide roof from an AFL streaming app.
[MTCD Software Development] Archie_Slap:
Thanks to the incredibly helpful tasker developer taking his time with me there's a way to get tasker to refresh when the device wakes up.

1. Dwnloaded mtcd TOOLS (created by f1x)

2. On Google play sign up for tasker beta and update the app.

3. In mtcd tools click create a new action

4. Click create a new start intent action

5.Select the service check box and enter these details

Class name:" com.joaomgcd.taskerm.plugin.ServiceRequestQuery"

Intent package:"net.dinglisch.android.taskerm"

Name: this is whatever you want, I called mine tasker refresh.

6. Click save

7. Go back to mtcd tools main menu

8. Select manage autorun

9. From the drop down select whatever you named your intent (tasker refresh)

10. Select add object

11. Exit mtcd tools.

When the head unit wakes from sleep mtcd tools starts and runs whatever is listed in the auto run section. So adding this intent to it refreshes the tasker monitor in the background as soon as the head unit wakes up. It works flawlessly for me over a dozen times.

Big shout out to the tasker developer joaomgcd for this. I sent him an email and he responded really quickly and was very helpful.

Now all I need to find out is what the intent to start the Torque app in the background is and I can do the same for that. Has anyone found this intent?

Torque has a setting to launch it in the background when the head unit is powered up which works, so the intent must exist, but it doesn't run when the head unit is just woken up.
[MTCD Software Development] pauloroxa:
Hi Archie

Can you point me to the initial thread of this matter, so i do understand the benefits of this Tasker rolling...
[MTCD Software Development] attilalovesfun:
Thanks Archie, so this will work without root then?
[MTCD Software Development] Archie_Slap:
Yeah it will work without root.

Once you have it set up like this it's extremely easy to use mtcd tools to send intents to tasker.

I use this for a ton of different functions. You create a broadcast intent in mtcd tools with the action as anything you want (for example I have one that I call pocketcasts).

You then bind this action to a steering wheel key in mtcd tools. I have this one bound to a double click of my mode key.

You then create a profile that runs on intent received with a task to launch Pocketcasts, wait 1s second, press play and then open the now playing window.

Using mtcd tools to send intents and tasker to listen for them and do whatever you want opens up a world of opportunities.

I also have another one that binds google assistant to a steering wheel key so I press it and google assistant starts listening without me saying okay google, saves time and sounds less douche like when there are other people in my car.
[MTCD Software Development] attilalovesfun:
Ah thats awesome, definitely be setting this up. What Tasker profile trigger do you use for when MTCD tools kicks off Tasker? Also does this MTCD Tool trigger kick start Tasker from a full head unit startup not just coming out of sleep?
[MTCD Software Development] Archie_Slap:
I don't think there is an initial thread just for this, but a lot of people are installing malaysk just so they can whitelist certain apps, particularly tasker as it's commonly used to automate a lot of tasks.

The problem is that when the stock PX5 enters sleep (when you turn the key off) it kills all apps that aren't in a stock settings file which isn't configurable, including tasker. When the unit is then powered back on it only wakes the apps that are in this file. So taskers monitor (which listens for intents or other actions) would stay asleep unless you manually opened and closed the app or manually ran a task.

This is why I downloaded malaysk, however I preferred the look and feel of stock so I rolled back.

With this tasker work around I can now achieve most of the things I wanted to do with my head unit (configurable mode lists that also automatically play certain play lists and adjust volumes and other things) on stock.

Does this answer your question?

---------- Post added at 01:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 AM ----------

On a full head unit start up tasker started fine for me. Just make sure you have it set so it's not battery optimised and I think there are a few other settings to keep tasker in the foreground etc.

As for the tasker profile, when mtcd tools sends that intent it restarts tasker automatically so I haven't got a profile that listens for that intent, it's like a behind the scenes thing.

You'll see it work if you have the tasker notification icon turned on. Without sending this intent when the head unit wakes up the icon won't appear until you restart tasker manually. With this intent you'll see the icon appear about a second after the unit wakes up and tasker then starts successfully listening for intents or profile actions etc.

You can add more stuff to this start up script like process by adding a broadcast intent in mtcd tools called "startup" with an action of "startup", adding it to the aurorun feature.

Then create a tasker profile that listens for the broadcast intent "startup" and then runs whatever tasks you want when this is received, maybe set a volume level and open your most used app or send a google assistant keyword or something.

If you're not sure how to do this there are a few explanations around this forum. I'm more of a hardware guy and didn't even know what an intent was until this weekend, so if I can work it out anyone can haha

screen saver speedometer

I have looked everywhere and cannot find a way to change the screen saver from KPH to MPH. Can someone point me in the right direction here, please?
[MTCD Software Development] attilalovesfun:
Hey Archie, should the intent action be set as a 'service'? Default is 'activity' which ends up throwing an error. Setting 'service' doesn't throw any errors on wake but tasker still doesn't launch. Anything I'm missing? Copied and pasted the class and package paths direct from your post so they should be correct.
[MTCD Software Development] CelticWebSolutions:
I believe the instructions for this are part of the install in the very first post. There’s files for kph and different files for mph.
[MTCD Software Development] Shadow128:
It is possible to use Google Contacts with this Rom?

I installed the contacts app via Play Store and after start it checks the google data.

After checking I got a display for logging into google account (but from system settings I configured my google account) :confused:

Then I type in my google email-adress and it tells me, that this adress is used on the head unit :confused:
[MTCD Software Development] ADB100:
I think I had the same issue to start with and after some playing around discovered it was a permissions issue with the app. Check the permissions on the Contacts (and Contacts Storage?) app in settings. My car is in the garage at the moment so I can't look until later.

Cheers

Andy
[MTCD Software Development] Shadow128:
Good to know, that it works with the rom :)

So I'll wipe my head unit tomorrow and test it again.

In my mind during last installation I tried to install the contacts parallel to an update of the google services. Maybe this happens in a crash :confused:

I also tried to re-install contacts, check permissions, cleared data of contacts and contact storage, but it doesn't work.

I'm also confused about the google sync options in the system settings. My calendar appears for sync, but no contacts
[MTCD Software Development] Archie_Slap:
It needs to be a service, not activity. I'll edit my post to clear that up and double check I spelled the intents right.
[MTCD Software Development] Malaysk:
A small gift for my birthday :D :D .

Firmware No.2.0

Who installed version 1.1 can be installed simply by updating. Who did not install version 1.1 then install everything that is written on the main page.

+ The firmware is made on the basis of the factory firmware from 05/26/2018.

+ The new PCRadio mod from Duk (transparent, with a power button)

+ Updated the module for Xposed from MVG-V70 xposed-mtce-utils (thanks to the eu for adapting it for my firmware)

+ Multiple fixes and additions to the firmware

+ Added a new version of the screensaver with the choice of a graphic equalizer (Right bottom button)

Change screen from analog clock to digital - click on the screensaver for 3-4 seconds.

+ Added to Music application button for selecting graphic equalizer - VIS button

+ New version of EasyConnected (located in the OEM application in the app folder)

+ Two screensavers MTCScreenClock_No_Transparent and MTCScreenClock_Transparent (found in the OEM application) are redone - a graphic equalizer is added (choice is the upper right button) and a temperature display is added from the canbas (need to check)

+ Corrected sound controller

+ New converted widgets.

All application modes are in the OEM application

If you lose the clock in the status bar, then you need to go to Settings - User Settings - Clock settings in the status bar and there to specify any color of the clock.

Do not forget to copy the folder mtce-utils (is in the archive together with the firmware) after installing the firmware on the internal memory card (sdcard) and activate all modules in Xposed.

If you show in the screensaver - NULL NULL - go to Settings - and set Weather

To add Home, Back and others icons to the status bar - go to Settings - Display - Advanced settings - Hide - Show icons in Status Bar

Before I jump in and try to upgrade my 6.0 head unit to 8.0 - can someone explain what will happen if I somehow miss the stage where I need to enter the recovery right after the 1st SD Card had finished flashing?

Specifically:

* Will my unit be bricked (if I fail to enter recovery on 1st try, that is) and will need to do some complicated recovery? (see below for context)

* Will I be able to try again? (short press the reset button, long press again after lights blink - and the unit will let me use recovery and finish the flashing process?)

* If I try again - do I need to start with the 1st SD Card? Can I just pop in the 2nd card and reboot until I manage to boot into recovery?

Also - thanks malaysk@, really enjoying the 6.0 so far :)
