Been using this rom since it came out and it's been working great. However, I've been having a weird issue that i was wondering if anyone else has seen. Every now and then the data for an app seems to get reset. It's happened about 3 times so far.

The first time it happened it was with Spotify. One day I started it up and was prompted to sign in again and all of my downloaded music was gone. I thought it was my SD card so I only downloaded music to internal storage, but it happened again a few days after. Thought maybe I forgot to move my music to internal storage and just set it up again. It was fine for awhile.

Then last night the same thing happened with waze. I launched the app and it prompted me to go through the first setup process and all of my setting s where gone. Has anyone seen this happen? Never had something like this happen when stock.
[MTCD Software Development] LJ1981:
Happened to me with Spotify and Tasker.
[MTCD Software Development] DonnerPlays:
In the changelog of v3 it is written "29. The possibility of OTA-updates are added.".

Will all updates be available throuh OTA (big updates like v4 and following?) or only small updates like bugfixes?

Asking because I want to install a custom rom and it would be great if I only had to go throuh the full install once.

Thanks anyway for such a cool looking rom.

Frezzes image rearview camera

So here comes a problem:

I have installed my head unit px5 9” with firmware hal9k in an Subaru Forester 2017 with a original rear view camera. At first it works very well and the HU switch to backup camera when the reverse gear is in. But after a couple of tries the picture of the camera freezes. The HU will switch off the picture when another gear is chosen but when the reverse gear is again selected the same frozen picture is shown. After a couple of tries the HU will start to not even switch to the backup camera even if the reverse gear is selected. It only works again if the HU will be disconnected from the car power supply or restart the unit. Then the whole problem not starts again, but in the time it happens again with an unpredictable frequency.

What is here the problem? Is it a hardware issue? Or its sofware?
[MTCD Software Development] ab1702:
I was using co pilot for my sat nav and the voices built into the app wouldn’t work on Android 8 or 6 so I had to use a TTS app(google TTS) for the speech. When I changed to this Hal9k rom I had the problem that you have with it being too quiet and I never found a way to change it.

Now I am using sygic as my sat nav app and the voice built into the app works fine. Now I can go into the navigation settings on the unit and increase/decrease the mixer volume and it works perfectly.
[MTCD Software Development] Toto1365:
sorry but I do not want to use sygic.

[MTCD Software Development] ab1702:
Does your sat nav use a TTS app or a built in voice for the voice instructions? My point were that you might have to use one that uses a built in voice rather than a TTS app if that is the case as that as what sorted my problem.

Hello!

Your work is great, thank you!!

Now I have a new Witson W2-V5570 with Android 8; the radio and software are original;

few questions:

o) must I update the Andriodsystem?

o) can I safe the original (backup)? (maybe I want chance it)

thank you for the support!
[MTCD Software Development] Toto1365:
yes I use a TTS voice, I'll try it with the integrated voice, thank you

Using this rom for over a month now, my google account got logged off somehow, and cannot log in back again. Play Store seems to crash with a black screen, so I cannot enter username/password.

Thinking of downloading a play store apk from apkmirror, but I don't know which variant is compatible. Any suggestions?

Thank you for wifi fix

I moved from a px3 MTCB HA unit running Android 7.1 which connected perfectly to a MTCE LM v2.88 unit (PX5 4gb 32 gb) with Android 8.0

Terrible problems with authentication. The only fix was a cold boot

I tried all the different wifi settings across the forums.

My iphone runs ios12.1 - and every time it would just stick in an ‘authentication problem loop’ - changed name, reset phone, reset password- nothing.

The fix- I moved to this hal9k V3 ROM and it has worked perfectly for a week, no interventions- just perfect.

No idea why that worked but it is now a perfect head unit.

[MTCD Software Development] jtrosky:
Try going into Settings->Apps and clearing cache (and possibly data as well) for the Play Store to see if that allow the the Play Store to run again. Might just have corrupt data for the Play Store app.
[MTCD Software Development] tsavman:
First thing I've done. No luck.

I am thinking of uninstalling play store through titanium backup, and installing a fresh version from apk mirror. Just don't know which variant fits a PX5 SOC.

Today I installed hal9k rom v3 looks nice, problem is i can't use viper4android FX,

first when i tried the already installed viper4android FX i get an infinite "Installing driver".

So i read in this thread to uninstall viper4android FX and install it again with magisk manager.

Magisk manager wanted to update itself so i did. then the app keept crashing (after reboot Magisk Manager started normal again).

I then tried to install Viper4Android FX using Magisk Manager, but i get the error "unable to extract zip file". So now i cant install Viper4Android again.

another question how to use the bluetooth setting where you change the name for OBD2 ? do i have to put in the name of my OBD2 adapter which it would normaly have?

could somebody help me?

btw. while trying these thinks Magisk Manager had no installed Modules (not sure is this is correct)
[MTCD Software Development] jtrosky:
I do have V4A working with this ROM. But honeslty, I can't remember what I had to do to get it working... I seem to remember having to edit the audio_effects.conf manually... Personally, I hate Magisk and wish this ROM used SuperSU, but beggers can't be choosers... :) Even things like installing BusyBox doesn't seem to work with Magisk. Tons of links everywhere too. Hate it, hate it, hate it... However, he has all of the other nice mods built into this ROM already, so I'm living with it for now. May eventually go back to stock so I can get my SuperSU back - or figure out how to uninstall Magisk and install SuperSU with this ROM instead. Magisk just seems to make everything more complex if you like doing a lot of stuff with root. If you are happy with the way the ROM is as it comes, then it's fine.
[MTCD Software Development] JF450:
I had the same issue and I think that the only thing I did was close the app and restart my headunit, then tried installing again and it worked.

Also main post says not to update magisk, it apparently breaks lots of things.
[MTCD Software Development] DonnerPlays:
yeah read that, i didn't update Magisk itself (it's still v16.0) i updated the app for Magisk (Magisk Manager).

sadly restarting (completly using Magisk Manager restart menu) didn't fix it. I was able to install Busybox (as i read that it should help) without a problem but after the restart under "Modules" there was just a weird entry without a text and under Download Busybox ist still "Installable" so i guess this didn't work either.
[MTCD Software Development] jtrosky:
I have the same issue with the Magisk Busybox module. No matter how many times I try to update it, it never really updates - and the info listed for the module in Magisk Manager is just blank. Not sure if installing Busybox from the Play store would work or not (again, one of the reasons I dislike Magisk - it seems that many things need special Magisk "modules". Or maybe I just don't understand Magisk - but either way, SuperSU is so much easier and straight forward. :)

The installed busybox binary doesn't even let you do "mount -o remount,rw /system" either - gives some error about /system being unknown or something. However, the busybox binary that is installed with V4A actually works better. :) I would love to just install the "real" busybox from the Play store, but it gives some warning about being installed in /sbin (Magisk-related) and like I said, I didn't want to risk breaking anything.
[MTCD Software Development] DonnerPlays:
i guess this is a problem with the android head units and their weird mix of android and other hardware and manufacturers using closed source software, never had any problem with Magisk using my phone. Guess i'll wait for Hal9k v4 or something. But thanks for trying to help :)
[MTCD Software Development] santino405:
I had this issue too when i first installed this rom. I was able to fix it by upgrading the MCU to the latest version from here

Want to start off by saying really like this room compared to other Rooms including stick. However the only issue I am having is able to access the bottom half of a portion of am app that I need to use. Granted in the other Roms I could but for some reason I'm this rom does not have the same aspect ratio or something as the others. Is there a way to change it?
[MTCD Software Development] DonnerPlays:
I hope someone can help me with another Problem :D.

I can't get my OBD2 Adapter to connect to the head unit.

I have a "XiTECH XR7" Bluetooth OBD2 Adapter i'm able to connect the obd2 adapter to my phone and it shows up as OBDII (not sure if big "i" or "|"). So i went into the Mod settings and changed the OBD adapter names, before there were 2 entrys "Vgate" and "OBD", so i changed it to "Vgate, OBD, "OBDII" (with big "i") and "OBD||" each in another row. Rebootet the head unit but it's still not visible in the bluetooth pairing it just doesn't show up (my phone shows up and is connectable).

Maybe someone knows whats the problem

Screenshot of the adapter settings:
[MTCD Software Development] pjs_hull:
On mine I deleted everything apart from OBD, turned off ignition, let it go into sleep and then ignition back on again, found it no problem and then paired fine
[MTCD Software Development] DonnerPlays:
doesn't seem to work for me. tried only OBD, only OBDII (big i) and OBD|| but none worked. Tried complete reboot and only ignition off and on again.

not sure if it is still a radio problem or my OBD2 adapter ist not working, but as my phone has no problems with my adapter I'm not sure what to do :(

[MENTION=3630616]sean19661[/MENTION] - welcome to the world of Hizpo/XRC wifi BT hell. There is a 7-page discussion about the issue you are experiencing over here:

https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/...icane-px5-oreo-wifi-bluetooth-waking-t3852206

Both seicane and hizpo use the same XRC MCU, and both have a design flaw that makes the wifi/BT radio unreliable, especially when the unit is cold. It has nothing to do with the MCU or firmware version. It is a physical/hardware design flaw.

Head over to that thread. There have been some very recent developments on page 7 that are starting to point to a solution/work around. Welcome to the club!

Hi [MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION]

First of all, thanks for sharing your work !!!

I have been planning to install your ROM for some time already, but never had time (mainly because I do a complete wipe of user data when I change ROMs) . Seems I'll have some time this week but I was wondering if shall wait to the next release or not...

Would you recommend to wait to the next release and do a wipe then? Or waiting to the next release doesn't make too much sense as it will be delivered as a 3.0 OTA and so no wipe needed/recommended? (so I can start with 3.0, do the wipe now, and then upgrade OTA when available)

Thanks !!!

Max

The feature you added,

'36. Added the ability to turn on/off the full screen keyboard.'

is very nice, but it doesn't work with third-party keyboards like swiftkey. I specially had to install xposed (I try to avoid it as much as possible ) and this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shubhangrathore.xposed.disablefullscreenkeyboard

This one works also with swiftkey. Could you maybe implement this in your next version, so we don't need xposed for it.

Help w. dialer trouble on Hal9k rom

Hello

I have seen very similar posts in this thread but no definite solution, so here goes.

Got Hal9k ROM (3) installed, almost nothing modified (except switched to English, updated Google stuff from Play Store). Actually, reset to factory defaults and set it up again, just to see if I messed something up.

Anyway, here are the problems I have - 1st one is serious, 2nd one is just an annoyance.

Problem 1: In contacts apps - open some contact. Press on the "dial" button - nothing happens. Press on the "message (SMS)" button - the dialer (MTCDialer?) kicks in and dials the number. Similar problems in other apps (e.g. in Google Assistant, issue " call 'Home' " command, the correct Home contact is displayed, but call is not happening).

What I tried (without any luck)

- enabling/disabling MTCDialer (using Titanium backup) - did absolutely nothing

- Looking for "default" app that handles phone calls - can't find anything like it in settings. Application settings for MTCDialer allow me to stop and uninstall the app, but don't show default dialer app. "Default apps" menu in settings has default browser, but not default Dialer.

Problem 2: MTCDialer can recognize (via voice input) contact names and dial them. It actually works, BUT - the list of contacts comes from Bluetooth sync of contacts from my iPhone - and for some crazy reason it always generates names with "family name" first and "first name" second ("Smith John" instead of "John Smith") - and this is for ALL contacts, which breaks voice dialing for me (because Google has trouble recognizing family names *shrug*) - any ideas how to turn the order around?

Any help appreciated!

So for anyone interested.. i installed this mode after my disappoint with malaysk v3 that i awaited so long and it was not what expected for me. [MENTION=472138]hal9k[/MENTION] Good job !

I realised i was going to like it since i saw that beautiful start logo..

I really enjoy all the moded settings they include exactly what i wanted from my android head unit without the added stress load and complexity of xposed.

A few marks.. for future updates.

- Please root and install su. Instead of Magisk.. i am sure alot of us would love that.

- Include in the settings the autobrightness app whitelisted and to force update

if possible on wake up.

-Some backround apps doesnt start after sleep even selected on the menu.

Example.. Tom tom speed cameras are not restarted after wake up although selected.

With the above and from the smoothness i noticed on the unit i believe it will be at 100%

Thanks.

It's not related to Hall's ROM, but you can read more about the problem with WiFi/BT not starting correctly after restart on the following thread : https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/android-head-units/seicane-px5-oreo-wifi-bluetooth-waking-t3852206

Btw, it seems there's a fix using a script (look at page 7), so as long as you use a custom ROM with Root access (for example Hal9k's wonderful ROM) you can run the script and fix the issue.

Note: it seems not all the units are affected by this problem, so it's kind of a game of chance whether your unit will have this problem or not.

Btw, when the BT is not working, it's not working at all, you can't select to activate it in the settings, pressing the button doesn't do anything, you need to restart the unit a few times until it fixes itself (or use the script in the other thread).
[MTCD Software Development] erkme73:
I think it might be worth stating that, so far, the only units that have exhibited this drop out behavior (when starting from a cold temperature boot) are those with the XRC MCU. Those are units sold by Seicane and Hizpo (and possibly others). Go to about page and look at the MCU. If it's XRC, you'll probably have the issues.
