Wow, this Rom is amazing.

I finally managed to get the time to install it and i don't regret it.

The installation took a while, but after that everything worked, the real surprise was that i didn't loose the installed apps and configurations.

Didn't have time to test everything, but the things that interested me most are working.

Thanks for such a great rom, when i have time to play i'll test it more and tell you if i find any problems.

By the way, i managed to get a USB wifi keyboard working, for some reason on the stock firmware it didn't want to work but now it works without problems.

It's a lot easier to type using a real keyboard (even if it's a small one) than with the on screen one.

P.S. my unit is a MTCE_XRC_V2.89_1 unit installed in a Skoda Octavia 3.

Hal9K, Is your ROM update near finish?
[MTCD Software Development] nate94gt:
I already have assistant set up through my phone and google home, but when I go to use it, its like theres no microphone, it doesn't even try to register my voice at all. yet I know the microphone works because I can talk to people on the phone through it.

Hal9k Mod v3.0 could this be installed on stock rom

I have stock PX5 Mtce octa core 4gb/32gb Hipzo hu with oreo 8.0.0

Also if I wanted to go back completely stock will factory reset return back to stock also on yandex server I found mcu it's size is 1.02 Gb looking at it with winrar looks like maybe oreo os firmware any help would be most appreciated !!

hello,

im following up this thread, i just bough a joying px5 oreo and i would like to install your firmware but i have a doubt about my MCU version, 2018-01-23 10.56:39JY_(R68)_26_6026_CAN(ALL), can i flash your firmware?

Thank you
[MTCD Software Development] Toto1365:
shida,

you can not flash the Hal9k firmware.
[MTCD Software Development] shida:
Sorry if I bump again in this tread, I rooted my joying px5 oreo, all was ok until supersu update appeared, I decided to update...my bad.

Now I'm stuck to android logo....did I bricked my radio?
[MTCD Software Development] Toto1365:
I do not know which head unit you have.

You have to go into recovery mode and then a wipe.
[MTCD Software Development] iRcKenny:
Better you ask for support on Joying/FYT head units threads
[MTCD Software Development] shida:
I have joying px5 android 8.0, i tried rst button and many other combinations but im unable to go in recovery mode
[MTCD Software Development] Toto1365:
you have to post the exact name of your radio or a link where you can watch it.
[MTCD Software Development] shida:
Sorry

You need to put the "update.zip" file for your HU in the root directory of a flashdrive and then reboot.
[MTCD Software Development] sean19661:
The link shows

:JY-AM001N2

Ship From:China Warehouse

CPU:Intel SoFIA 3RG

Ram:2GB*Rom:32GB

Support Zlink,Android Auto,Bluetooth,WiFi,DVR,OBD2,Back Up Camera

7 Inch*Audi A3 Android Head Unit.

If that's your unit your in the wrong thread also it says nothing about oreo os also you board and hardware is base off of Sofia 3gr hardware you might want to contact joying on your problem.

I had a generic hu base off of the Sofia 3gr hardware witch also has a sim card slot for data

I could only root the unit and never could get into recovery to flash the stock firmware good luck try disconnecting the power completely and try the reset button. The way I solve my problem was I bought a new unit the Hipzo PX5 1024x600 Mtce octa core 4gb/32gb oreo 8.0.0
[MTCD Software Development] sean19661:
I flashed this amazing rom I'm loving all the features all went well only thing the voice volume from Google maps is so low also what is needed for mtcd dialer to work when I try to tell it to call a certain person tells me can't find that person seems like it works the way Google assistant also I do have Google contacts installed thinking it would rely on Google contacts do I have to give the mtcd dialer extra permission?

Any help would appreciated
[MTCD Software Development] erkme73:
I know most people post here to ask for (or provide) help, or to make suggestions/requests. I simply want to state a heartfelt THANK YOU to [MENTION=472138]hal9k[/MENTION] for providing such an excellent alternative to what manufacturers are putting out - and doing it in a way that even technically illiterate people can achieve it with < 5 clicks.

I only stumbled upon this rom after pulling out my hair trying to figure out why my XRC Hizpo (and Seicane) didn't show contacts or calendars under account sync settings. I went several rounds with the resellers for support. I even contacted Google (through their new phone support)... No one could seem to answer why this radio didn't have these features.

But, after installing this rom, I have 100% functionality restored. I am eternally grateful, and hope you never get tired of helping us out!

No. You have Android 8.1 and this is 8.0.
[MTCD Software Development] Lum_UK:
Do VW radios still come with a standard ISO connector, that you can just plug this unit directly into?

If so, try swapping the red and yellow wires. Every VW I've ever installed a radio into wires these two up backwards.

You can either cut & rejoin, or carefully extract the pins from the ISO connector and swap them. Personally I cut and then add crimp connectors so I can swap them back when putting the radio into a different car.

Explanation: Yellow is supposed to be a permanent 12v supply that will keep your radio in sleep mode. Red is supposed to be to tell the radio when to switch on properly (i.e. when you turn the car on). Get them backwards and it still works, but the 12V supply is disconnected whenever you turn the car off, causing a cold boot.
[MTCD Software Development] shida:
Thank you, I succeed, installed stock firmware, now root again, donno why on website the unit show different specifications, mine is px5, oreo. Anyway I did try some combination of rst and power button, the usb pen start pick and eventually flash the firmware

I already wrote you that your starter battery is too weak. That's why your radio restarts every time you start your car. I also have a Passat B7 and a PE98MTVPL. The wiring is all right. You have to read correctly. And by "in contact" you probably mean a keyless entry system, right?

What voltage is displayed in the vehicle app when your car is off?

[MTCD Software Development] santino405:
Installed this ROM yesterday and so far everything works great. Rom is really fast and very customizable. An amazing improvement from the stock rom which I was using before this. I

One small issue I did have is that for a 30 minute period the backup camera would not work or would turn on only after a large delay. The interface changed to the backup camera mode but the camera feed was just black. After turning the car off and on again camera seemed to work normally. I just updated to MCU 2.89 this morning so i'll report back if any issues.

A few feature requests that i think would make this rom absolutely perfect since your asking for feed back.

Would it be possible for you to add a auto volume adjust increment at 20? I have it set to increment 1 at every increment so it would be nice to add one more on the lower end at 20. I use MPH here in the sates.

If you could add a way to change the default volume level that would be great. I think the stock ROM always booted up to level 15.

Lastly if you could some how modify the AD2P application to also display artist information that would be amazing. I tried to look for 3rd party applications that would work with AD2P and display a bit more information about the currently playing song like artist. My stock radio could do this and could even display a playlist of what was currently playing. Seems odd that our more advance head units couldn't do the same.
[MTCD Software Development] LJ1981:
Installed today. Working great!

Could it be possible to have Spotify show currently playing song in pop-up message like radio and music player?

Hi [MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION]

Your fw is very interesting.

it's possible add screen saver like Malaysk (speed and weather) and widget radio with name of station?

I install your fw in this days

your fw is compatible with BT Parrot module?
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
Thank you for feedback.

One user wrote about a similar problem. He corrected this by changing the version of the MCU.

Do not quite understand.

If you have the current volume level, for example, 10 and increment = 20, then when the adjustment is triggered, the volume level will be set to 30. You will deaf. :)

Set the "Boot default volume" in the factory settings to 15. This works for me.

Well, I'll see what can be done.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
Thanks for feedback. I'll see what can be done too.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
The screensaver is in the plans.

Fw has a toast with the name of the station. :)

Parrot module support is present in the code, but I did not test it because I do not have such a module.
[MTCD Software Development] pakoner:
Thanks for fast reply...

also with DSP module work...

I can test with parrot module in these days
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
DSP module support stay unchanged cos I do not have such a module too.
[MTCD Software Development] santino405:
Hello, thanks for the quick response. What i meant is not the increment increase it self, but the speed at which the first increment happens. Currently it can only be set to 30, but i want the first increase to start when i'm going 20Mph instead of 30Mph.

Again thanks for the amazing work.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
I understood. You mean the first speed threshold.

Well, I will add.

At me the first speed threshold is equal 55 mph. Is your car so noisy? :D
[MTCD Software Development] santino405:
Yes, sadly it is :( . At some point i plan to purchase better quality tires.

Thanks!

[MTCD Software Development] vassandrei:
Is it possible to set up the volume change to scale by OBD2 speed value instead of GPS? Sometimes going through a tunnel (in moscow we have some long tunnels) GPS speed can change drastically and volume along with it (or just not match the actual speed of the car)
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
just need to add a GPS signal check.
[MTCD Software Development] xupamki:
Well.

Installed and configured everything. All is great, amazing work.
[MTCD Software Development] bettuccio:
I had been missing for a while and now I see a new rom developed by "Hal9k". Correct me if I'm wrong: now you can install this rom without necessarily having to change recovery from that stock 8 and without making any bootable SD is right? I have read that you need to install an apk included in the archive and start it. He will start the unit in recovery mode and from there install the rom in .zip format. If that's all right, it means that I can now install a custom rom that I could not do before because my drive does not have a bootable SD slot. I have another question: can I use the tools apk in the archive for a test just to get the unit into recovery mode? I say this because my Witson unit never managed to get into recovery.
[MTCD Software Development] Ranma12:
I have installed this ROM yesterday. It looks good, but I have some issues vs previous used Malaysk ROM:

1) When HU starts from sleep, radio or music (or other app in whitelist) starts as opened app, not sure, if it is possible to start as minimalized or as last state before sleep

2) When I setup stock music app and load music from flash card, all is ok, also ok from sleep, but when HU is rebooted, all is lost, all configuration is not saved, in malaysk it was saved (except when MCU was reflashed, then it was lost), is it bug?

3) I am using navigation iGO and TTS voice (google or vocalizer). In malaysk TTS was working ok in mixing mode (with workaround to setup as default app for navigation -> google voice or vocalizer), but now in this ROM it doesnt work, either with this workaround or with adding app in MOD section. I guess it was working after first installation, but after that, it doesnt work, all sound is in same level, radio/music and TTS voice in navigation. Reflash with wipe did not help. Any idea how to fix it?

Else I could not find any issue, sound is changed according to speed, which is great ;)

Thx for new great ROM for our HUs :)
[MTCD Software Development] HNDXCRV:
I was looking for this setting also in the stock rom. I dont know if this can be added in the future version.

Dude, please start reading correctly. I have written when the car or engine is off. What do the values tell me when the engine is on? You need the voltage when you get into the car in the morning, insert the key so that the radio starts. Without starting the engine.

Hier weer alleen voor u in uw taal.

Dude, begin alstublieft goed te lezen. Ik heb geschreven wanneer de auto of motor uit staat. Wat zijn de waarden als de motor aan staat? Je hebt de spanning nodig als je 's morgens in de auto stapt, steek de sleutel in de auto zodat de radio start. Zonder de motor te starten.

Is there any way to be able to have the unit continue a song on spotify that it was last playing when it went into sleep mode and to just pick it up where it left off when I restart the car?

Spotify is already whitlisted and set to restart after the unit wakes from sleep.

Oddly I am nearly sure this has been working before? Can anyone confirm and give me a hint/advice what to do?

---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 PM ----------

This states that android tries to download the english localizations after the 1st bootup or after you changed the systems language.
[MTCD Software Development] jtrosky:
I do this with Tasker. Basically, regardless of what player is playing, I send a media "Pause" command before the unit goes to sleep. Then, when it awakes, I either wait for wifi connectivity (for online-based players) or the SD card to be mounted (for local media) and then send a media "Play" command. This way, no matter what I was playing when the unit went the sleep, it automatically resumes from where it left off when the unit comes out of sleep (and the "media" is ready).

More details in this thread:

Hey ikkuh (or anyone else who knows), wich app are u using here? Is it canbus-related? I don't have such an app of view. I am using a canbus and for example I see it in overlay when a door is opened or closed but I don't have this screen. Looks nice!

And about you're problem, I think you're unit needs wire that always has contact with the battery (vaste plus in no). It sounds like you're unit looses electricity when starting the car.

Work seems to have stopped on Malaysk’s Oreo 8 for MTCD/MTCE so is this the new preferred version?
[MTCD Software Development] LinkseD:
Hal9k & Malaysk are both currently working on an update for there versions.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
This setting does exactly what you wrote.

I recently found out that this works not only for the MD725, so in the new version this item will be called "Ringtone (not for all Bluetooth modules)" because it is known that it does not work for SD968.

So you can just put your own file in the /system/media/audio/ringtones and select it in that setting.

For this application must be specially prepared. In my Mod, signature verification is not disabled, because I believe that this cannot be done for security reasons.

You can remove Radio apk and then try to install your own.

But you lose my changes.

I do not know, did not try.

This will be added in the next version. Now you can find it in the search.

Have you tried to use any volume control application from the Play Store?

Mixing setting in Navigation sound mode associates the navi volume with the system volume.

If you listen to music loudly, then navigation should sound louder. In my opinion, this is logical.

This works for applications on the screen.

Set ro.product.shownavbar to true in the build.prop

But it looks bad with this launcher.

GS MCU ? Use the search, Luke. :D

Just flash stock update.zip

Nearly. :o

List of ideas. I choose the most interesting from it and implement it whenever possible.

[MENTION=943895]erkme73[/MENTION], [MENTION=9520323]HNDXCRV[/MENTION], thanks for the feedback :highfive:

[MTCD Software Development] jtrosky:
Unfortunately, when I find a mix setting that works well at higher volumes, it's too quiet at lower volumes. When I find a setting that works well at lower volumes, it makes it sound like the GPS voice is "yelling" at me at higher volumes. :) Maybe I just need to experiment some more with the settings. It would just be nice to be able to adjust the navi voice volume independently while the nav voice is talking - that is how it's worked on every other head-unit I've owned (WinCE units), even though they also "mix" the navi voice and music...

For now, I'll just have to adjust the navi voice volume via the navi app as needed, depending on the radio volume - it's just more cumbersome that way, that's all. But I realze that this issue isn't specific to your ROM and there is probably nothing you can do about it anyway - it's more of an issue with these units in general.

So you are saying that notification sounds only work if the app is the active app? That kind of defeats the purpose of having notifications, doesn't it? :) Usually, notification sounds are to inform you when something happens in the background - that you *can't* see. Not faulting you or your ROM - I'm sure it's more of an "Android head-unit" limitation, but I was just surprised to see that notification sounds really don't work completely (like I said, they mute the music, but the notification sound itself never plays).

Again - I'm sure it's not specific to your ROM - just another limitation of these Android head-units. Hopefully, they continue to evolve over time for stuff like this (just as they are evolving in terms of sound quality).

Thanks for everything you've done - I know that it's extremely time consuming creating and maintaining these ROM's. It's much appreciated. These are relatively minor issues!
[MTCD Software Development] gforums:
Thanks Hal9k,

I installed the mod several times again, meaning I have definitely flashed the recovery belonging to it. I tried installation with 2 different SD cards and with putting both of them in an usb reader. I could try flashing another rom from a full usb storage device (no SD adapter). Other then this, I am running out of ideas... :confused:
