I'm currently on XRC-2.89 stock. The only direction is downgrade. I was thinking of trying 2.84 but I doubt it'll fix anything.

I also saw some XRC2 firmware variants but I don't want to flash it to my XRC.

IMO, best thing I can try is to try to manually run the init script that takes care of enabling wifi when Andrdoid Start. I just need to start searching around on the fs to find it.

---------- Post added at 10:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 AM ----------

Tried the same thing a couple weeks ago (turning Wifi OFF before powering down) and results were the same as you. I also found out simply going through recovery in a reboot fix the Wifi&BT issue 100% of the time.
[MTCD Software Development] erkme73:
I concur. My unit is completely stock, XRC_2.80_1 from Seicane. Right out the gate, after a full factory reset (both from OS and from recovery) and overnight, it shuts down WIFI/BT. I have to power-cycle and/or press reset button - sometimes more than once. If this hasn't been fixed by 2.89, I'm guessing 2.84 won't buy you anything either.

What is incredibly frustrating is the seemingly randomness of those that have the issue. Some, with the same model I have, swear they've never had any wifi/bt issues at all. I'm guessing they don't use it consistently enough to notice.
[MTCD Software Development] semcoinc:
Sadly, I have discovered that I have MD725 BT in my PX5/Android 6.0 HU and there is no functionality for that BT module in Android 8.0.

Hi!

Anyone knows if it is possible to uninstall the MTC Dialer and install it again? Maybe that solves the dialer problem. And where can I get the apk?

Thank you very much!
[MTCD Software Development] albtross:
And I thought I was just going crazy. I could have sworn that I had disabled Automatic Updates, only to see the download notification a few days later.

What do you mean by "open radio app without playing Poweramp"? Are you using PowerAmp v2 or v3?
[MTCD Software Development] Hazard15301:
I downgraded from xrc2 2.92 to 2.84, but it didn't fix anything.

I had an identical radio that did not have this issue. The LCD went bad on it and the seller exchanged the whole unit for the same model. So it seems to just be random units affected by this issue. It may not even be an mcu issue, possibly a physical issue, manufacturing defect, bad batch of chips, etc.

It did not start doing this until after it had been installed in my truck for about a week, however.

We should consider starting a new thread to consolidate this info so we're not cluttering up Hal9ks thread with something that's not necessary related to his rom.
[MTCD Software Development] erkme73:

Hello,

ist amazing ROM. Thanks for this :)

But i have a Problem.. I can´tinstalling the Sound Mod from Wadzio. Why don´t?

It´s installed easy on Malaysk ROm.

Can who help me please?
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
I disabled Magisk Hide by default.

So, in order to enable it, install the terminal app and enter the following command:

setprop persist.magisk.hide 1

Go to the Magisk menu and select your app.

Thank you

Can you give a link to this Sound Mod ?

Coolio. Again thanks a lot for this. I will surely send some for beer once i test this out. Any chances for 8.1 ?

If we have stock 8.1...

Ufortunately, there are no source codes. A kernel has significant changes to work as a car HU.

another question. Xtrons decided to remove the "Split Screen" functionality from the HU with display less than 7". Has your ROM this functionality enabled instead ?

I searched the link.. :)

But, why can´t installed the ROOT. apk? I will recplace the originale Sound apk :(

Or do I have a thinking mistake when replacing?

[MTCD Software Development] Jonika21:
Thank you for your reply! I mean, in the first boot I press radio button, radio app opens, immediately go off and Poweramp starts to play and it stops. Then I can press radio again and it works fine. I use V2 I think, it's the one on PlayStore and I've bought the full unlocker too. Should I upgrade to V3? How can I update it since it's updated on PlayStore? Thank you

[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
Hi. If this is MTCD (E) and your about screens look like in the first post, then yes.

There are two types. Do you really have type 2?

Try to remove your ExDialer, restart and reinstall it.

Or try disabling MTC Dialer (pm disable com.f1x.mtcdialer) without deleting. Then enable it (pm enable com.f1x.mtcdialer)
[MTCD Software Development] albtross:
Oh, that problem. I have that issue as well, but I also had it with Malaysk. Sometimes I have to hit radio 2 or 3 times. Did you change the Hal9k setting to replace the built in Music Player with PowerAmp? If so, I think that it is MTCManager restarting PowerAmp. I believe that it is MTCManager that attempts to restart the last media app (radio, music, video, etc) upon restart. It seems to get confused if PowerAmp is in the background when you shutdown. If you undo the setting where you replace the Music Player with PowerAmp the issue will probably go away, but PowerAmp won't automatically restart when you turn the ignition on.

I would not recommend using PowerAmp v3 if you have steering wheel controls, since when listening to the radio and you press the up/down arrow to change stations, PowerAmp will be brought to the foreground and will start playing the next song.
[MTCD Software Development] semcoinc:
Hi Hal9k_

After a closer review of your instructions I see:

"The command getprop bt.md725.type, executed in the terminal, answers "2" "

however, I do not know how to get into the "terminal" to execute this command.

If someone can advise me on how to enter this section, I will check it out.

Thanks,

Mike
[MTCD Software Development] Toto1365:
Hi Mike,

you need the Android Terminal Emulator from the PlayStore.

This will allow you to enter the command and find out which BT type you have.

It works best with a USB keyboard.
[MTCD Software Development] semcoinc:
Thanks Toto1365 :good:

I will look for that item in the PlayStore.

As for the USB keyboard, will I just need to plug the USB keyboard into the available USB input cable?

Or is there something else that must be done.

I have never used a USB keyboard with my head unit, therefore my lack of knowledge about this.

Mike
[MTCD Software Development] DreckSoft:
First of all, thanks for your great work! I just updated from Malaysk Oreo 2.0 and I prefer your version in almost every aspect. Unfortunately there are a few drawbacks.

I used to have my car logo as boot screen, even before Android is starting and displaying the logo selected in the factory settings (I patched Malaysks recovery for this). Now I have the hal9k logo. Replacing the logo in resources.img is not difficult but I can't update as with the replaced file the signature of the update.zip is wrong.

A similar request was made here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77934106&postcount=488

I cannot use the LM launcher for some reason. I donwloaded it from the Google Drive you provided and added it to the OEM folder but after installing it with APK Installer it just crashes after a reboot. I also tried replacing the launcher APK in system/priv-app but then the device hangs at "Android is starting..."

The Radio application forgets all saved stations on every reboot.

Same issue as here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77899149&postcount=446

I remeber having this issue with Android 6 based Malaysk ROMs but can't remeber for sure with Android 8 based.

DVB-T2 only works in slow motion (PadTV or Arial TV). This happended with ALL ROMs I've tried but maybe someone in this thread has a solution. PX5 is supposed to have x265 HW acceleration, so it should work.

In Malaysk I could display the Clock (with Date) in the middle of the status bar. In a previous post you said date is not possible. Will it return in a feature version? How about centered clock and the possibility to select the font size as in Malaysk?
[MTCD Software Development] Toto1365:
Hi Mike,

all you have to do is connect the USB keyboard to a USB port and then you can work with it in the emulator. You do not need to make any settings.

Has anybody else problems with choosing a navigation app?

After pressing the "navi" button on my head unit or entering the navi options in the settings menu, settings is always crashing, so that I am not able to choose an app.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
The signature is needed to protect against changes. My logo is displayed for only 10 seconds. Is my efforts in vain?

This is the correct method for launchers from Yandex Disk.

Perhaps you did not delete the Launcher3_HA folder or incorrectly set permissions (755 for folders, 644 for files).

It's a strange GS MCU. Set "Default power status" to "Memory the state of last" in the factory settings.

I do not have DVB-T2.

I think it's terribly ugly.

I think this question is better to ask the author of the application.

I can tell you how to call from the Google application.

Click the Google icon in the launcher.

Click the microphone icon.

Say "Call" and the name of the contact that exists in the phone book synchronized with Google.

There will be a inscription "Make a call". There are three points on the right. Click and select MTCDialer. (see pic in the 1st post)

Click on the handset in the blue circle in the bottom.

Will be a call.

Also you can create Quick SMS widget for call by the icon.

set ro.product.backgroundvideo to true in the build.prop if you really need it.

I don't want to flash my unit just yet, since I have no troubles with it and I don't want to void my warrenty (yet). I would like to use the 'fixed' audio app though. Is there a way I can get it seperately?
[MTCD Software Development] ab1702:
I’m quite enjoying the use of this rom but I have one little problem with the screensaver that i can’t solve.

In mod settings I’m wanting to use one of the screensavers from the rom and not the android screensaver but no matter which one I choose it’s always staying as the android clock for the screensaver.

Also sometimes the screensaver just doesn’t work properly no matter how many apps I allow the screensaver to work with, it will flash up for a split second but then disappear straight away and the same thing can happen when i try changing screensavers.

Any idea where I’m going wrong?
[MTCD Software Development] Jonika21:
Disable the android screensaver, it will use the ROM one

Sent new ROM from Dasaita this morning

Hi, I was sent a new (official) ROM version this morning from Dasaita, along with a link for the latest MCU file. This is because of the "MPH" bug where the car resets back to Km/h every time the unit restarts. They have implied in the text that it fixes this.

As I currently have the Hal9k ROM installed, I don't really want to go to the trouble of wiping and reinstalling if it is the same version as what I already have, and the problem persists.

Any ideas on how I can check?

Thanks
[MTCD Software Development] Clandaries:
Yes me, and more.

Maybe it is an app or maybe something else.

Radio depends on other applications. You can install stock firmware at any time if you need to use a warranty and no one will know. Try it, do not be afraid. :D

I'm thinking about it, flashing your rom seems easy enough. How do I flash the stock firmware back? (still need to get it somewhere though). I meant the music player by the way, not the radio. The only thing I miss is the fact that you can't skip folders, and the folder doesn't play automatically.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:

[MTCD Software Development] jtrosky:
Stupid question.... If I have all of my music stored on SD card, is there any way to have the unit automatically start playing the music after it returns from sleep? RIght now, the unit has to check the SD cards before they are usable, which causes music players like JetAudio to crash, even if they were whitelisted...

The SD card checks take a good 5-10 seconds before they are ready for use after sleep and by that time, the music players seem to "give up".

Or is there a way to stop the SD card checks from occuring every time after returning from sleep?

Thank you!

Hello, I would synchronize the files with an app like Foldersync to the internal memory. Then you can also add new music automatically when you update your Micro SD card with new music.
[MTCD Software Development] Juke2010:
I tried the rom but it does not work. When I install the first file for recovery it gives an error. I got android 8.1
[MTCD Software Development] rtoussaint:
Thanks. I have plenty of experience flashing mobile phones and tablets, but somehow this feels different. I contacted Xtrons and got link to their most recent rom for my PB78MTVP (september 2018), so I'll give it a shot.

One question/remark though, your rom is about 30% bigger than the original. Yours had a few extras, like launchers, but 30% seems like a lot. Where does this big difference come from?
[MTCD Software Development] jtrosky:
Thanks for reply. The problem is that intermal memory is too small to hold my music collection....

Is there any way to "disable" the SD card check proces? Or somehow whitelist something so that it doesn't need to do that SD card scan every time the unit wakes up from sleep mode? For me, this is pretty major issue. If I have to shut off the car very briefly (to run into a gas station, for example), I lose my place in the song and it can take a significant time to rescan the SD card, which kind of eliminates the benefit of quick "turn-on" time that these units offer before of their sleep mode (which is almost instant). Obviously, this is not an issue specific to this ROM - it would apply to any ROM I guess.

So do others not use SD or USB devices for their music? Or do you just have to wait until the devices becomes available and restart your music app every time?

I supposed I could convert the SD card to "internal" storage, but then I have no easy way to add music to it.

Hmm.... Any input is appreciated!

Thank you!
[MTCD Software Development] iRcKenny:
You cannot install on 8.1 units! This rom is for Android 6.0 or 8.0 units. That's writed on 1st post.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
This makes the stock script /system/bin/vendingpatch.sh

You can disable it by setting it rights 000.

A similar function will be, but without Xposed modules.

Share the link, please.

The size has increased due to complete re-odexing, adding software, re-assembling images of partitions.
[MTCD Software Development] pogueoi:
No real solution for the main problem but:

The App "Poweramp" has a Autostart function. Every time the App is running (app window must be opened) when you turn off the car, it autostarts after return from sleep.
[MTCD Software Development] rtoussaint:
Sure:

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AjrY0uqbW_kBklRpld7xEiS8BqW-

Is this newer than the v3 build? If so, I'll wait a bit longer :D
[MTCD Software Development] albtross:
Here is what works for me:

I use PowerAmp v2

Configure Hal9k to replace the default music app with PowerAmp

Doing so will allow mtcmanager to automatically restart PowerAmp, if it was playing when the ignition was turned off.

Do not put PowerAmp in the whitelist.

If you do, PowerAmp will try to resume before the sd card is mounted and you will get an error. Instead let the OS kill PowerAmp when the ignition is turned off. PowerAmp will then have to be restarted by the mtcmanager when turned on. At least on my head unit, the sd card is mounted by the time PowerAmp is loaded.

There is still one issue. Since PowerAmp is not whitelisted, it is killed when the ignition is turned off, so it does not remember the track position and goes back to the beginning of the track when you restart. This issue can be fixed by using Tasker to pause PowerAmp before PowerAmp is killed. If you pause PowerAmp it will remember it's track position and restart at the correct location in the track.
[MTCD Software Development] Downerhouse:
ROM Suggestions

Awesome ROM thank you.

I have a couple of "asks" please for the next version:

i) Could you please add full customisation of steering wheel controls, or provide options to remove the standard ones? Whilst the current "mode" button is customisable, I have other controls in my car that have some annoying defaults I'd like to change. The MTCEUTILS solution works, but it works as well as the default options, so 2 things happen rather than one. So ideally would like to have options to either completely disable standard controls and use other utilities to provide the functionality, or instead, to offer the customisation within the ROM?

ii) The "safe unlock" feature does not seem to work via a Bluetooth connection. I'm trying to set it up to automatically unlock the android unit when my phone is connected by Bluetooth, and when I select it in the menus, I get as far as choosing my phone, then it says that the phone is not present or connected (which it is). The other options like location seem to work so assume it is a bug somewhere.

For info, I am in communication with Dasaita about some of the bugs in the current firmware (like it keep resetting my MPH display to km/h etc each time the unit wakes up or reboots. The support so far is pretty good and am hopeful that they will eventually provide a new version of the firmware or MCU or whatever to fix it. Will post back here if this results in new FW version released to me.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
Thanks. Not very. :D
[MTCD Software Development] N_Wolve:
Hi Hal9k,

Do you have the stock tuner and music app ( of the mtce? ) and can i replace them with the ones in your rom?

Because everything is working great in your rom beside these 2 apps. The stock ones were working great with my vauxhall.
