Just wanted to leave a quick thank you, Hal9k. I've had my android HU since March this year and between your rom and the Tasker workaround to fix the wifi connecting after sleep issue, it finally feels like its properly functional. Now if only I could be faffed with pulling it out again and connecting the steering wheel circuit so I could map one of the buttons to function as mode... Maybe next year.

Thank you!

Hey Hal,

So I just recently acquired a Pumpkin 8.0 headunit which according to the system info it is Android 8.0 and has MCU version MTCE_KLD. I'm aware that these are pretty much the basics of knowing whether I can install your rom or not.

I do have a few questions:

Regarding the bluetooth module and how to check, I'm not sure what you mean by "first page ofthe factory settings". How do I actually get there?

Also, after installing your mod, could I then install the Wadzio's soundpatch (https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/mtcd-software-development/mod-bd375xx-sound-processor-t3834657) on top? Would this have any bad effect?

Hello,

has everyone flashed this rom on a Erisin ES 7829D?!?!
[MTCD Software Development] shtirlitz111:
I just installed the Hal9k (was running Android 6 Malaysk before) on my 1024x600 Dasaita.

It is running good so far :) Thanks [MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION] !

The only thing I can't find yet is if there are any screen density settings. Went twice through the options screens but I didn't see any.

I was running Malaysk at 180dpi and everything was sized perfect, but now everything is so big I can't fit many things on the screen.

Anyone figured out how to change the dpi?

---------- Post added at 07:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 PM ----------

The factory settings are in the settings screen, but even if you have that BT, it doesn't list if you have type 1 (which works with this ROM) or type 2 (which doesn't)

Just use the command in the terminal windows and see what it returns. If you get back 2, you're out of luck
[MTCD Software Development] mr.bena:
Thanks! I tried to re-flash the ROM as per your advise, still was not able to tick that box, BUT finally I was without the pop-up message, that my device is not rooted:highfive:, so I finished all remained tasks and BT and WIFI were working (for that moment).

Let's see in the morning , because it usually stopped work on very next day.

If they will be functional , that will be a big win of my 2 weeks challenge, followed by huge frustration :fingers-crossed:

Thanks buddy
[MTCD Software Development] chkenwing:
Consider me a newbie, how does one get to the terminal window? :confused:
[MTCD Software Development] shtirlitz111:
If your current rom doesn't have such app preinstalled - just get one from the Play Store. Should be lots of free ones there

Hal9k android 6.0.1 rom

Hi all,

Is there a Hal9k android 6.0.1 rom ?? or is the Mod setting app from Hal9k available as APK ??

Thanks in advance
[MTCD Software Development] chkenwing:
I have a really odd problem. Ran the command through terminal but it doesn’t return anything. Do I need to be rooted?

I did just try “getprops” and it returned a lot of values but non were “bt.md725.type” :/
[MTCD Software Development] meazz1:
Very sad.

I bought the pumpkin 8.0.0 double din.

First issue, the MCU version is CSN2_1122018_153527.

It's defiantly does not start with MTCD/MTCE.

Anyway, I tried to install Hal9k 8.0.0 on it but it stay stuck on "Android Starting" after "modinstaller.apk" reboot.

If I power cycle, I get back to my stock firmware. At least it's not bricked.

Any suggestion?
[MTCD Software Development] sean19661:
I'm having the same issue as you and I and many others any luck to get tasker working with the script? I'm trying to do this on MAYLAYS rom ask him if he could include this in his next update also.
[MTCD Software Development] mr.bena:
Yes its working for me now, lets do dirty flash of ROM..just re-instal existing ROM via recovery mode and without wipe data.

My steps are described here in the threads

Just wondering why the eye candy (spectrum analyzer) is removed from the music player? I really liked that, just as the rotating cover.....

[MTCD Software Development] Blueone:
Can it be that is something wrong with the downloadfile of this rom? I downloaded it a couple of times with different interconnection en used several sd cards and usb sticks. I always get the error "failed to verify whole-file signature"

I also tried it with the bootable usb stick but also no luck with that unfortunatelly. I can install the malysk mod so it doesn't seem there is something wrong with the radio.
[MTCD Software Development] shtirlitz111:
I guess you do not have a MD725 bluetooth then but something else
[MTCD Software Development] Marecki86:
You should enter "getprop bt.md725.type" then the command will work.

If the response to the command is "1" then bluetooth will work?

P.S. Sorry for my English, I use the Google translator.
[MTCD Software Development] shtirlitz111:
Has anyone managed to get Smart Lock in this rom working?

I want to have the unit locked (and need a pin entered) unless connected via bluetooth to my phone.

When setting the Smart Lock it properly shows my phone to select, but then I get an error message when I pick it.

Anyone who got it working?
[MTCD Software Development] faiz5200:
Great rom [MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION]

Would be nice if radio app can be play/pause using steering wheel button. I already assign play/pause button on my steering wheel but only work with music player and others except radio.

Overall, a lot better than stock.
[MTCD Software Development] marchnz:
press the mode button!
[MTCD Software Development] faiz5200:
Yeah, pressing mode button will turn off the radio but also open another app. Just want to simply turn on/off the radio when in need instead of open another app and cycle all the way through app in the mode list to turn on the radio again.

PX5 ROM on PX3 Board

Hi Guys, I don't find a clear answer about this case. :confused:

So please forgive me my "stupid" question.

Q: Is it possible to install this PX5 ROM on a PX3 device (EONON GA8198, RK3188 2GB RAM, Mazda 6 2012)?

Thank you in advance.
[MTCD Software Development] JonnyG1980:
It's says in the first post you can only install this rom on a PX5 device, so I guess you can't.

[MTCD Software Development] Clandaries:
Maybe you can install a PX5 board. But it is around 90-100 Euro...
[MTCD Software Development] dgcruzing:
Just a shout out the the two in the attached picture..

Thanks is for posting those workarounds..

Also HAL..

Since a lot of these new units are coming through with out buttons it might be a good idea to pop the

"Use RST" button to the install..

USB keyboard did not work for me..

Mind you I tried to plug it in after I was stuck in recovery.. kinda freaking me out..

Look Mum I can do this..

Ooops..I can't move it..

HAL..any chance of a touch recovery..?

Also as a note for first time flasher 's..

Understand that it is always a bit scary and as you can see via the photos there are a few errors popping up on the recovery boot..ignore these..

Will play and report back..

Cheers

HAL for the work..a little sent your way

[MTCD Software Development] TheWebby:
Can you fix that in your next Update ?
[MTCD Software Development] swarog:
You didn't read anything in the thread, didn't you? Android 8.0 doesn't have drive support for type 2 hardware.
[MTCD Software Development] TheWebby:
Oh ok than i have to make a Downgrade
[MTCD Software Development] jtrosky:
Exactly. I mean, I get it - there is a TON of information in this thread for new folks to get through - and I completely understand why they sometimes ask questions that have been asked before - but at the very least, new folks should read the OP - and read it carefully - maybe even twice.

That alone would answer a LOT of questions that get asked by new folks - without them even having to search and try to find the info for themselves - it's all written there in great detail in the OP already (and referring to the OP for this type of info is a common forum thing, so people should know to check the OP without even being told to).

Ok, so getprop bt.md725.type returns nothing. What does that mean? Will hal9k rom work with my hardware?
[MTCD Software Development] flaviote:
Upgraded my Eonon GA8172 two weeks ago, very simple process if you have electronics knowlege.
[MTCD Software Development] SkyBeam2048:
Be careful about such statements here. [MENTION=4664756]rage302[/MENTION] was asking to install the ROM on PX3 device which is certainly impossible. The ROM works only on PX5 SOM boards.

It is however possible to replace a PX3 SOM (System On Module) with a PX5 SOM but you need to buy a hardware replacement and replace the board inside your MTCx unit. Then you can install this ROM on PX5 board. This does at no means mean you are installing this ROM on the PX3 SOM.

Luckily it's very likely attempting to install this ROM on a PX3 board will fail early as the PX3 SOM will likely not boot from the SD card prepared for PX5 initial boot to replace the recovery. So likely no damage will result. But in worst case you might brick your PX3 board attempting it.
[MTCD Software Development] flaviote:
Sorry, i was not clear enough, i was talking about a hardware update, changing a px3 board with a px5 board. After that he can install Hal9k PX5 ROM there.

I do have a KLD unit and it is indeed equipped with MD725 (but fortunetly it's type 1, so it works for me on Android 8).

This can now be solved by replacing the BT Module as a supplier of the compatible type 1 module has been found.

Head over to the MTCD hardware 'type 2 module swap' thread for details.

anybody tried this ROM with Dasaita PX5 units?

Hello,

This ROM looks very impressive! I am having trouble with stock ROM on my Dasaita PX5 device, looking for a new ROM:

1) I can't set APN access and all Mobile / cellular settings are missing entirely, I can't use my cellular USB modem at all

2) It takes some 30-35 seconds to boot

3) It ignores CAR / extra settings / delay before poweroff setting entirely, each time I turn off ACC key, it shuts down to cold reboot

:crying:

Is here anybody with experience of running Hal9K ROM on Dasaita units? Do you have access to Mobile / APN settings? How fast does it boot?

Thanks in advance for any response!

And kudos for your work, Hal9k!
[MTCD Software Development] tsavman:
Same for me on my (not Dasaita) PX5 unit.

I can access my LTE dongle only through wifi, although I get signal strength icon on the status bar.
[MTCD Software Development] n2outlaw:
I was trying to install Malaysk ROM but can not without doing a OTG Cable Mod.

Is this firmware "ONLY" for HA or can I use this on a MTCE_XRC unit? See image...
[MTCD Software Development] bettuccio:
I was always in your same situation and I had abandoned the idea of ​​being able to install a custom rom. I can tell you from experience that this ROM is fine for any unit that is PX5 MTCD / E. I just have to understand for sure if the installation is as smooth as Hal9k says because if there is a minimum of recovery uncertainty, I will be in trouble as my unit can not access it. This problem I have from the beginning that I acquired unity.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
The ModInstaller.apk replace your current recovery with the one that contain the personal Hal9k signature keys, just like flashing the recovery using the sdupdate.img on sdcard but more "easily".

You will not be able to flash malaysk ROM after flashing this one because of different signature keys and you are forced to flash again the malaysk recovery.

The same happen if you want to flash Booroondook ROM or svarom one too.

Would be convenient if everybody have used the standard google test keys so the recovery update would not be necessary.

But here are other surely other ways... ;)
[MTCD Software Development] xupamki:
I don't have buttons and sd card on my unit. Therefore i cannot enter recovery. I installed this rom following instructions without any problem. My only issue was I had to use the reset button, becaus it is the only one that is not touch buttons.
[MTCD Software Development] bettuccio:
here, seeing the great dimensions of 'apk I imagined that it was a custom recovery. Initially I thought it was only temporary but instead replaces it permanently. Thanks for taking away the doubt.

---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 PM ----------

My situation is even more complex than yours. My reset button does not let me select anything because as soon as I touch it, it gives the selection input on the first available item that is "Restart". Then the system reboots. I'll have to check if with the USB keyboard I solve this problem as happened with the previous unit that I used the keyboard to navigate through the options. Does the apk tool remain in the system after flashing or canceling? I want to try a test just to get into recovery without rom.
[MTCD Software Development] Shadow128:
As I see, this rom is working with android 8?

Is EasyConnect and Torque working? With Malaysk it's bit working on my HU.

And anyone tried, if it is possible to pause poweramp during switch off the HU and autostart after switch on?
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
Yes. If you reboot the HU to recovery using the ModInstaller application, and then just reboot the HU from the recovery, your firmware will boot again.

The whitelist is only for third-party applications. Do not include the system radio or music.

In addition, the applications included in the "List of applications that restart after sleep" should not be in the whitelist.

Third-party applications included in the "List of applications that restart after sleep" are launched through the main activity, as if you are clicking on the application icon. Therefore, they are launched on the screen.

In general, this mechanism is designed for media applications. The last running application restarts.

I use sleep mode, so I did not encounter this. I will check it.

Did you set "Default power status" to "Memory the state of last" in the factory settings ?

Is it possible to select Notification audio channel in iGO ?

[MENTION=587225]n2outlaw[/MENTION] I think you can install my mod.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
Both my and the stock firmware automatically restore their recovery after the boot up.

You can use my application like this, although it is not intended for this. [emoji1]
[MTCD Software Development] Ringracer:
Hello, I have the problem with stock rom and with Hal9K.

Love this ROM so far. OBD finally works and my wifi on my iPhone does not hang. Anybody know where to find the launcherKGL.apk? I'm coming over from Malaysk's Rom but I can't find that built-in launcher anywhere. Everything works great but I want to use that old launcher. Thanks for any help.
[MTCD Software Development] n2outlaw:
Well, I was able to install this in less then 15min. The only problem I run into was that I didnt have a keyboard plugged in before going into recovery and had to unplug from power to get it to reboot.

Awesome ROM, Thanks!!!
[MTCD Software Development] n2outlaw:
I'm looking for one of the launchers too. I was able to unpack the Malaysk's Rom and got all of the launchers out of it but only two installed and they were not the one I wanted. If you want, I can upload them tomorrow.

I'm looking for the one in this image.
[MTCD Software Development] mitnits:
Absolutely amazing rom so far.

Maybe Hal2k will be able to figure this problem though (not specific to his rom) - android auto works well on our units, but refuses to call phones. Instead a message “network not available” pops up on screen. Could be related to some telephony api (e.g. network selection) that was left out of the original roms.

Any ideas for workaround? As a side note, mtcdialler works great, just not from android auto (I think it does not even get to the stage where it makes the call)
[MTCD Software Development] KAOS313:
Please do. I'm getting used to the Launcher2mtc2 that I found somewhere else on XDA but it would be great to at least have. I just wish we could get that screensaver with the speed but I know he had that built-in instead of as an app.
[MTCD Software Development] dankec2000:
Hal9k, one question before migrating from Malaysk:

Are you for shure that we will not be needed to wipe user data when a new Hal9k rom version appear? I just don't want to configure evetything with every new version...
[MTCD Software Development] Ranma12:
I had them only in whitelist, i will try them to remove from it.

UPDATE: removed and it works ok still.

UPDATE: found this option and change it to Memory the state of last and now its ok, so fixed.

No, maybe only via config file, but I will try to check vocalizer app notification settings.

[MENTION=9350973]All[/MENTION] Did someone have issue with notification bar and when it was unroll, it closes automatically? Where could be issue? It started a month ago in Malaysk ROM and its same also in this ROM.
[MTCD Software Development] Nasty_z:
[MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION] First off, many thanks for your ROM. Really appreciate it.

I have a request. I was wondering if you could replace the viper4android with the older version by Viper520?

The new viper4android has issues with sound processing. For example, if I'm running a live wallpaper that changes with music and there's music playing in background, then viper4android does not process it. This does not happen with the older version of viper4android.

Furthermore, I tried to manually revert to older version through magisk module but I cannot install modules. It simply says installation failed.
[MTCD Software Development] michael08071984:
My Device shows a very weird behavior. When i go to the Recovery and try to factory reset it always take "hours" to format cache, than it shuts down and restarts in recovery with flickering text. Only way to repair this is to flash the recovery from malaysk for the Android8 Rom. After that i have to reinstall the Malaysk rom.

I tried to install Hal9's Rom but when i try to factory reset from his recovery, the same behavior happens. So had to reinstall malaysk recovery and install malaysk again. Then i tried to install Hal9's Rom without wiping, but the System Starts with System-Ui force closes this the devices shuts down completly. At the Moment i stuck on malaysk's Android 8 v2 Rom, cause its the only one that works without fc's. Is there any way to get Hal9s Rom on my Device? I where 5 Hours in the last 24 Hours in my Car to fix this. The formating takes forever, so does the update verifying.

My Device is a Witson:

- PX5

- 2GB Ram

- 32 GB Rom

- 1024x600

so the generic components.

[MTCD Software Development] Nasty_z:
Maybe you can try placing the update.zip on your sdcard and then going into settings app and then updating like you would normally update malaysk? Make sure to check the wipe data checkbox. Try that, it might work.
[MTCD Software Development] Iggass:
Yes, exactly what happens to me.

So, you are running Hal9K ROM 3 and there are no APN settings, right?
[MTCD Software Development] jtrosky:
Have you guys tried searching for "Mobile" in settings? I think you can find some setting that don't show up on the menus that way (such as Developer Settings). Might work for Mobile Networks as well...
[MTCD Software Development] Iggass:
I didn't (will try your advice), but I managed to get to APN settings by installing an app (called APN Settings), and there I am hitting a wall:
