Hello folks,

I have been running this rom almost two years now, on a PX5 MX2 device.

I want to try the Android 9 version (v.4.0 of Hal9k mod), but I do not want to commit to buying the ModInstaller yet, just in case I run into issues, and need to revert to Android 8.

I have updated to latest MCU (3.56) available for MX2, without any problems.

Here comes the tricky part:

To my understanding, first I need to install recovery for 9 (currently have recovery for android 8), and then flash a "stock" rom?

And after that flash the Hal9K mod on top?

I have followed the thread here, but it seems focused on the ModInstaller method mostly.

Can someone confirm the process and point me to the correct files?

Anyone have any issues to obtain root? I tried to install an app that requires root and it says denied but I never get a prompt. I then tried to run su in adb but never get prompted. I ensured that prompt is the option and i have toast as the method to display. I am leaving it up for 60 seconds but it never pops up. At one point it worked as I do have apps that are listed to have root acccess in the Superuser field in Magisk (titanium backup, wireless adb, etc.). I am on an older version (18.1) and i don't think i can update as i get an error.

Anyone have any suggestions here?

Thanks

Dave

Hello! Does anyone know what the radio, music player and navigation widgets are called and where they are located? (Android 8, Hal9k mod 3.1.2) TY. I would try to change their look, to make them look the same as HA, Android 10.
[MTCD Software Development] Ujua:
hello, first I thank the firmware versions to hal9k, I have version 4.2.0 with Android 9 on my dasaita px5 equipment and the latest MCU 3.62, so far it has always been fine, but recently it is happening to me that sometimes the equipment It does not finish booting, the logo keeps spinning, and I have to reboot from the reset hole so that it boots completely, lately it is happening to me quite often, does anyone know what it could be?

Thanks

i had the same situation the other day and i had to reinstall the ROM again. Its been 2 or 3 days since , everything is fine so far, but now i am prepared for a compete wipe and reinstall if it happens again,. You must install Titanium backup and make regular USB backups of all your applications just in case
[MTCD Software Development] Silver_:
There are some updates for my MCU that are ready for Android 8 but I don't know if I should install them. At the moment this Rom is going well with an update of my MCU for Android 6.1 (the version of my original firmware) (KSP 3.07) but I don't know if it would work better with an MCU for Android 8. Thanks I hope someone clarifies this for me.
[MTCD Software Development] MAhtc:
Stuck on this
[MTCD Software Development] MAhtc:
I'll keep trying
[MTCD Software Development] Clandaries:
So you are trying to install Android 8 with Android 6 recovery?

Find the mistake ;)
[MTCD Software Development] MAhtc:
Nope but thanks for non useful comment
[MTCD Software Development] Ati_gangster:
No, the comment from [MENTION=5257301]Clandaries[/MENTION] was not meaningless, you just do not understand it.

If you come from Android 6 and want to install Android 8 firmware, you have to install Recovery for Android 8 first.

You cannot simply install Android 8 firmware with Android 6 Recovery.

Same with 9 and 10.

[MTCD Software Development] MAhtc:
I know I read the instructions and followed the video and have all I need to do the task, and followed the video to a t and it kept doing that, wasn't trying to install 6 over 6 to get to 8 .... I have 8 firmware and update on sd card...

Thank for non helpful comments

Enjoy your day
[MTCD Software Development] Clandaries:
Really?

On your pictures we all can see recovery is version 6

But you need 8 to install this mod if you try to update to A8.
[MTCD Software Development] MAhtc:
[emoji106]

Cheers I'll keep following the video with Android 8 files I have on sd card to install .... (mod edit: Content removed for disrespect)
[MTCD Software Development] Clandaries:
I think you dont get it...

Even if you have A10 files on your SD card it does not work.

You have to update the recovery first.

If you want to instal Android 8 you need Android 8 recovery.

On both pictures you posted we can see recovery version is 6

This is the last time i try to help. and i guess no other here will help you after your behavior...

Nice weekend.

Hello

I would like to play the Hal9k version on my Xtrons Radio with Android 8.1

Unfortunately, the information on the radio does not make me know for sure whether this really works.

Here's the data from the radio, maybe someone can help me in this?

Do you know a custom Rom that I can use for this radio?
[MTCD Software Development] gochapka:
Hello,

I annoy them for a consultation; mi unit is...

Android 6.0.1

Core 3.10.0 rocky @ hctr930 # 1214 Wed Sep 20 14:50:40 CST 2017

Compile num px5-userdebug 6.0.1 MXC89L user.hct.20170926.172649 test-keys

MCU Version MTCE_HA_V2.65f_1 Sep 26 2017 17:50:15

Serial num H223TKC0D00250013

CPU 8 core 64-bit CPU Coretex-A53 @ 1.5G

Memory 1999MB

For some time now, the touch screen has been failing randomly, there are days that it never responds and others that sometimes it responds and sometimes it does not. Using a mouse the unit works perfect. The same happens with the steering wheel controls, the response of each other is random.

Is there any way to fix it?

Thanks!

Any advice how to install this version over hal9k 4.0 version? I tried with the mod installer method, but give me error, doesnt restart.
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Make a bootable sdcard using the instructions in the first post.
[MTCD Software Development] jateed:
Hello everyone,

I am on the 4.0 build of the rom on my PX5 head unit from Xtrons (bought the OTA code and are awaiting it), The rom itself is running fine for the most part, but I am moving it to a new car with Steering wheel controls (SWC). To facilitate the communication, I have bought and attached the AXXESS ASWC-1 and gotten it hooked up from a car perspective. However, i cannot get the head unit to recognize any of the commands.

My head unit (The TE706PL) has a Key1 (brown), Key2(brown/white), and a ground (brown/black). As per the adapter's instructions, I connected brown to brown and left the ground off entirely, but nothing is happening. I did get the device to recongize something from the wiring at some point, but i think that was during a reboot or something, and I can reproduce it.

I dont know if this is a rom issue or a head unit issue or a rom issue, but I figured this was the best intersection of people in the know.

Anyone have success getting this to work with an ASWC-1 or get it working with a 2 SWC wire setup?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

UPDATE: Ignore this post (and delete it if you like.

Turns out that I needed to change the radio type, even for analog signals like this. For me, type 4 allowed me to map all 6 buttons in the OS. If anyone else finds this message and is stuck in the same spot, match the key wires (brown to brown and brown/white to brown/white) leave the ground (brown/black) free, and set to radio type to 4 (or whatever one works) and you should be good. Note though, that when you change the radio type, if you need to change it again, you will need to power cycle the device each time.
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
"TE706PL" is a model number made up by your reseller, Xtrons, your MCU will identify what unit you have.

Does your car have CAN Bus or resistive SWC ?
[MTCD Software Development] HippoDan:
Hi,

Just installed on a KSP PX5 unit. Something is wrong with the display. It thinks my screen is 1280 x 480 and everything is in the wrong place. It's system wide now, and this way during the boot screen too. Is there a simple way to change it? Resolution should be 1024x600
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
You have to flash a dmcu.ext file, check out the Cross compatible MCU thread for details.
[MTCD Software Development] HippoDan:
That did the trick. Thanks!

(I had to use a mouse since the display and the touchscreen didn't line up.)

Hello, I have the Xtrons PQS7039B with Halk9k with Android 10. I don't have an SD card running in the SD card slot, it runs in the map slot. In the case of the right slot, the error message SD card is damaged and must be formatted and the memory is displayed as USB C. Is the problem known ?
[MTCD Software Development] Shadow128:
Hi there

I want to update my Erisin PX5 Head Unit with the current version of the Hal9K Mod, but before I've to replace the bluetooth module.

I opened the head unit and it should be the red marked inside? And anyone knows what the blue marked pins are normally used for?
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
The Red marked área is the radio module
[MTCD Software Development] Shadow128:
Ah ok, that makes sense with the connector on the back side.

But it seems that blueooth is onboard (attached a picture from the mainboard).

Can the new bluetooth board still be used? It fits to the blue marked pins on the picture before.
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
Afaik the bt module is the small blue board from realtek attached. I think is a wifi+bluetooth module. As different manufacturer boards are completely different you have to search for a compatible module to your board based on the current working bt/wifi module on other compatible mtcd/mtce boards
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
The best and reliable way to achieve a BT/Wifi replacement is by means of buying a compatible USB device as described here:

https://xdaforums.com/t/android-10-upgrade-md725-to-rf210-bt-module-swap.4221421/post-85583775

It seems to be compatible with Android 10 and not needed any desoldering...just plug & play (and change the BT type in factory settings)
[MTCD Software Development] Shadow128:
Thanks for that link. I'll try and ask in that thread. :-)

Maybe there's also another option than the usb dongle
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
There are also other options that imply soldering into the mother board but they are more risky. Additionally you have to check if that blue marked area is for the Bluetooth and if so check if added bluetooth will work. So I would go directly with the easiest way...the usb
[MTCD Software Development] Shadow128:
Soldering should be no problem :D

But good to know what could be the best option

The blue Chip is a Realtek RTL8723BU, so a combined WiFi/BT Module. In my mind it is the best option, if I could replace it as it should be easy to remove.

Also the free port could be an option if it can be used as an extension slot?

USB is the last option what I want to try as I need both usb ports for my equipment
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
You have more chances to fry your motherboard by means of soldering but upto you. With a 5usd USB hub you are not compromising your available USB ports.

@hal9k Any ideia on overclocking?

I tried a few kernel tweekers so I can change the cpu and gpu to always run at full speed.

But after a few sleep cycles it just goes back to how it was...

That would be a GREAT and valuable feature, mainly for the people that does not have a PX6

Hi!

My head unit switches off randomly. Then you have to stop the car , taking out the key, and then after ignition on the head unit works again till next random switching off. I can't find the reason, I don't know what produces the switching off.

I tried reinstalling from zero, wiping cache. Already checked and isolated each head unit cable. Even tried to detect the problem with a log cat but I think when it switches off doesn't save the log and can't be later readed.

Any idea about how could I solve the problem?any help is welcome 😊Many thx in advance
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Loose connection ?
[MTCD Software Development] marchnz:
Find a local reputable installer to troubleshoot
[MTCD Software Development] blue_racer:
Which unit in detail?

Does radio send a message "shutting down" or just black screen?

Newer units get "ignition" from CAN BUS Box which may be defect but often there is an option to plug ignition to radio plug.

e.g. Xtrons PQS- and IQ-series.

Check my video:
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
The IQ series is outdated already, the new VR series is far better :
[MTCD Software Development] jhony benitez:
Model : Kanor px5 octacore 64gb running hal9k android 8 rom.

Yes, it does. It shows "shutting down" before switching off in addition sometimes (not always) some kind of white cloud frames appear and radio shows again shutting down. I checked canbus in factory menu and it wasn't specifically configured for my car. I have selected my model car and cross fingers in order to see if it solves the issue. Thanks for your help and your video

I installed myself 3 years ago, and It has been working perfect except for last 8 months. Besides, for the price of this radios may be cheaper buying a new one than going to a installer, so I'm trying to solve it by myself
[MTCD Software Development] blue_racer:
Nice April fool joke :-P

Did you check wiring(!) not settings of the box? When radio message was "shut down" the ignition signal was gone.
[MTCD Software Development] g1modfan:
Folks, please help me, I don't know which thread to go. My head unit lost its keyboard and home button a few weeks ago., most onscreen buttons are not responsive, and reset key does not open a keyboard. Please direct to threads for files and instructions on Android 9 fresh install (someone told me that this unit can only go up to Android 9), and how to reboot to recovery without a virtual keyboard. Thanks everyone for your help.
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Plug in a keyboard and mouse.
[MTCD Software Development] jhony benitez:
Solved issue. I could never have imagined the solution was so easy. As you suggested I changed canbus configuration, and after a 1400 kilometers road trip, and many time using the car the problem is solved. Appreciated a lot your help, many many thanks😊

OMG. Really worked. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

By the chance may I upgrade to upper version of android? like 9 or 10?

and which rom is the best. the backlight keys stop working in new rom.
[MTCD Software Development] Pavel-71:
You can update. Which android is better I do not know, everyone has a different opinion. Mainly look what kind of bluetooth module you have, you will find it in the factory settings. Bluetooth MD725 does not work on Android 10. The SD-968 Bluetooth module with firmware manufactured in March 2017 or earlier works in Android 8, but does not work in Android 9 and 10. The solution is to replace the module driver or replace the module. Try changing the backlight control of the buttons: Factory setting / Other / Panel LED control.
[MTCD Software Development] pacopoor:
I tried to change panel LED control setting to Power, headlights, power and headlights. There is just these 3 options. None of them works for me. Even tried to change the colour. Still not working. By away thank you again. You are So professional and helpful.
[MTCD Software Development] pacopoor:
even when I try to go to recovery mode the lights are not blinking or turning on. is it maybe from hardware?
[MTCD Software Development] Pavel-71:
It is possible. When you did various experiments in the factory settings, did you not change the Customer version? This setting must not be changed, it causes hardware errors.
[MTCD Software Development] pacopoor:
yes I did actually. I thought it is for screen resolution. Its in version 1 now. should I change it?
[MTCD Software Development] Pavel-71:
If you remember the original version, give it back, but maybe you damaged it permanently with this change. It's not good to change something headless. If you saved the original settings to the dmcu.cfg file before making changes to the factory settings, you will use it to restore the original settings. This is done with the Export button. And then the MCU is updated with dmcu.cfg.
[MTCD Software Development] pacopoor:
No I dont know the original version. i didnt save original setting
[MTCD Software Development] Jambrina4:
Hello, I know there are newer versions but I stick on this because my headunit came with android 6 and the old MD725 BT driver and right now is not in my plans spending money on buying a BT driver, plus this version works like a charm for me, the only thing I wanna know, how can I replace the launcher?

I would love to install Launcher3HCT5, it looks so clean for me, but I dont know how to make it work, or how to have multiple launchers and swap between them whenever I want

I tried creating a new folder with the name of the launcher, dropping in the original folder 3 new launchers, but the system just doesn't recognise them

Can anyone please help me?

Regards in advance

Hi @Hal9k_

Thanks for this nice update!

A few questions: Some Apps still keep crashing upon start. Is there any way to check why?

Regarding the launcher: I want to change the custom radio widget on the start screen. is it possible to edit the launcher start page completely?

I have changed the apps at the bottom but can't change the radio widget to e.g. spotify widget...

Thanks you a lot and keep up the good work!

I am looking for help! I have an older Dasatia Px5 2/64. It has the stock Android 6 on it. This unit was a gift to me as it had a blown amp chip I have successfully replaced, and it now works, but I can't do some things due to Android 6. I have tried making the SD card and putting in the GPS slot on the unit, but it will not boot, and I tried the APK, but I get unable to parse data or bad APK (I know this is an older rom but I need to start someplace and this seems to be a good option)

if someone can help me, please, I also think the MCU needs to be updated not even sure where to find that.

Hello Hal9k fans.

I'm getting ready to install this ROM above all to have the Lock Screen, for when I leave the car in the workshop, the whole package of this ROM is appreciated anyway.

Is there anything I need to watch out for other than what's described in the guide?

My device:

PX5(800x480)

Android 8.0.0

MTCE_XRC_V3.01

I'm quite satisfied with it, except for the very poor screen in full sunlight (I own a convertible) and the USB transfer rate which doesn't go beyond 1.7 MBs.

Thank you all

Edit:

Installed without problems and everything went well. There is an OTA update that I accepted as well and I don't know if I was right to accept it, please let me know.

Or is there another way to get it working on this rom?

Is the internal memory divided into 2 parts in this ROM? This is what I had in RK3188, all navigation programs saved maps to the internal memory. The memory quickly ran out and the SD card remained unusable. Is it possible to combine them into one partition so that applications can write data to the SD card?

Is there actually a theme / design for a launcher based on a light background? I have difficulties with my Dasaita read the display when it is in the dark design.
[MTCD Software Development] TT_Vert:
Did you read this thread? Did you check your MCU? if you did both then you know the answer. Heck it's even in the topic.

[MENTION=2648747]LJ1981[/MENTION] do you have any idea of any repercussions as far as current draw while sleeping when whitelisting apps? Did they do this just to prevent any type of app restart issues by not fulling killing the app rather than any power usage concerns?

Dave
[MTCD Software Development] Lum_UK:
No. I bodged it by running Tasker on my phone and setting a trigger so when the BT connects to my car, it then turns the wifi tethering on. It's a little slower to connect, but it works automatically.

---------- Post added at 01:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 AM ----------

Also this rom seems lovely so far. Though a word of warning. The wipe data / factory reset also killed my userdata, so I lost all my music and Titanium Backup folder, so now I have to set the entire thing up from scratch again :(

[MTCD Software Development] Aran:
Hey guys,

Question about a problem that is not really new in this rom. With every reset I make, the radio-presets are gone. I read somewhere this can be MCU-related, but I tried several MCU's. I have a GS-unit with 2 gb ram.

At this moment I use the sound-modded MCU of CS-x.

Anyone else had this problem and solved it?
[MTCD Software Development] LJ1981:
Can't really say. But for that reason, not knowing about power usage during sleep, I have only couple of apps whitelisted. I then use tasker to automate everything when display gets on.

I think only apps I have whitelisted are Tasker and Backlight autolevel. I have to check if I have others than those.
[MTCD Software Development] tsavman:
Hello again.

Don't know if it is rom or HU related, but on my 800x480 HU sometimes I cannot scroll down to enter some app login section, or to select any pop-down items for a list.

For example, Amazon app login section is off-screen, and this also happens with other apps too, eg TuneIn Radio etc.

Supposedly and according to the seller, my HU is a 1200x600 unit, but in settings menu it appears as as px5 (800x480) resolution. Any safe ways to change the screen resolution?
