Hal9k Mod 4 (Android 9)

[MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION]

Like to give some infos and suggestions about the newest Mod 4. My headunit is a PX5 from Dasaita with 4GB/32GB. Originally bought with Android 8. Installed in a Honda HRV 2016.

Until now I've found only small issues in this rom. It's working really well.

on homescreen the radio widget doesn't show the correct frequency playing in background. When pushing the on/off button in widget the correct frequency will be shown. But every day/night mode change resets the frequency to 87,5. [EDIT: seems to be fixed with OTA update]

radio app: the field for the RDS text is imho too small. No chance to get any info from this tiny scrolling text while driving. Better redesign the app and place the RDS text below the frequency band with full width (see screenshot).

radio app: in night mode the additional settings (stereo, local, FMx..) in the right circle, where the frequeny or channel name is visible, cannot be seen because the fontcolor doesn't change with day/night mode. It's the same darkgrey like in day mode (see screenshot).

screen saver: the font for speed and volume looks very digitally ugly and is hard to read. Better use the same font like for the time.

sleep mode. Not sure if this is a problem in the rom. I used the auto sleep mode to get the fast boot up. But now I had to replace a 10 month old battery of the car. Seems the rom takes to much energy while sleeping? Can you check this to be sure it's no problem in the rom? In the moment I'm using the complete shutdown to avoid problems.

4.0.1 OTA package (01/09/2020)

Advanced configuration of the GPS receiver chip, which includes:

Use of Galileo and IMES satellite navigation systems in addition to existing ones. The number of visible satellites increased by about a third

The frequency of geo-position measurements has been increased 10 times. Navigation apps respond faster to changes in course or speed

The lag of the marker from the real position is reduced to the minimum, which means that navigation applications used to inform about the upcoming maneuver

Enabled AssistNow Autonomous positioning acceleration. A GPS cold start takes about one minute.

A dynamic navigation model is set - for cars, not for phones, as set by default

Any differential correction satellites are used.

Unfortunately, not all of this works for PX30 devices, as they have a less functional GPS receiver chip.

Updated GPS Test Plus app (see screenshot). The satellites marked in circles are GPS on the left of the screen and Galileo on the right

Ability to configure the speed of the USB OTG port (USB 2.0 or USB 1.1). This allows you to remove clicks that interfere with listening to music via USB DAC.

Ability to set default TTL in the range of 63 to 65

The ability to disable the Ethernet interface for using Wi-Fi without physically disconnecting the USB modem. Ability to configure Ethernet interface parameters

The ability to mirror images from the front view camera by default. Useful for those who put a rear view camera on the front of the car.

Color selection for dynamic parking lines

The ability not to turn off the sound from other applications after launching the applications AV input and DVR

Gesture and background playback enabled for the Video app

The option "Mute button pauses Music" is made disabled

Added a black list of applications that do not allow the inclusion of a splash screen. Now you can make the screen saver always start, except when the applications on the list are on the screen

Z-link application should work

Bugs fixed in the default launcher:

Now you can create widgets "Quick call" and "Quick SMS." Both widgets will launch a phone call to the selected number

The radio frequency on the widget is not reset after changing the theme

Updated b-max script to reconnect freezing USB hubs

Hi,

Guys I'm always alerted by a information "file mcu not found".

Like when you click to update mcu and don't have any file.

So this alert appears random, anyone has this?
[MTCD Software Development] cgentil:
Update done.

GPS Test Plus appears as name com.chartcr instead normal name.
[MTCD Software Development] Tommy.Z:
New Installation of GPS Test Plus in OEM fixes this.

Is this OTA update for PX5 or PX6 devices?

I have a code for PX6 but do not get the update.

Certainly for PX5 as I received it as well. Not sure if that excludes PX6, maybe just wait a few days...

Outside temperature in statsbar - how to?

Hi there. Using this Rom for six months now and I'm still happy with it. But how can I display the outside temperature from the can bus in the status Bar? I know there's a checkbox for this in the settings but it doesn't work. (VW Golf MK6) Thanks in advance.
[MTCD Software Development] r33a:
Me too. The temperature is displayed in the vehicle information app. Not in the status bar. The checkbox is also activated. (VW Golf MK5)

Thanks

Can I flash xposed framework with booting to recovery and choosing the optionto apply update?

My guess is that I have to rename the framework zip to update.zip right ?

Or its better (safer) to just connect to the internet and let xposed app download and install it?
[MTCD Software Development] Shadow128:
Currently most questions are regarding Hal9k Android 9.0 but I've a question for Hal9k with Android 8.0 and the GPS signal.

Are there any software possibilities to improve the receiving GPS signal?

Sometimes on my working way I get very fast the signal and sometimes it takes minutes to get the signal.

OK, my GPS receiver is behind the headunit and I want to put it directly at the front window but maybe there are other possibilities :)
[MTCD Software Development] leenq:
I had the GPS antenna that came with the unit inside the dash close to the windshield and had similar issues. Generally workable but not quite perfect. I recently put a Calearo shark fin triple FM/GPS/DAB antenna on the roof and it made a huge improvement in the GPS. GPS monitor finds 3-5 more satellites, signals are all bars are green instead of half of them yellow before, and time to fix (warm start) is much shorter now. It's a bit of work to run the GPS and DAB cables through the roof from the back, but in the end I am very happy with the results.

What is the idea about Mode 4, do we install any Android 9 rom and then Mod 4, or we need specific Android 9 rom ? Or we wait for complete Android 9 + Mod 4 from [MENTION=472138]hal9k[/MENTION]?

Hi everyone. @ Halk9 my device is in 3.1.2. I know that Magisk cannot be updated, but will it be possible to do it later? Thanks.
[MTCD Software Development] leenq:
Hal9k's Mod4 package Hal9k_Mod_4.0_MTCD_MTCE_PX5_eng.rar (~1.1GB) supports both upgrade to Android 9 with mod from Android 6 or 8, and also the just mod if you already have Android 9.
[MTCD Software Development] kirildaskalov:
Hal9k_Mod_4.0_MTCD_MTCE_PX5_eng.rar - is this just the Mod?

I'm on Android 8 Mod 3.. how can I update to android 9 + Mod 4?
[MTCD Software Development] leenq:
Hal9k_Mod_4.0_MTCD_MTCE_PX5_eng.rar contains both the upgrade to android 9 + mod4.

[MTCD Software Development] naira1:
So I've PX5 running Hal9k Android 9 full version. I think (not 100% sure though) the Rom has destroyed 2 of my micro SD cards meant for maps (also known as GPS card by the unit). After my 16gb card completely died and is no longer recognised in less than a week after installing the rom by the Hu or my PC, i inserted a 8gb card which worked for a few days and last week same thing happened.

Anyone else having this? I don't want to buy another card only for same thing to happen again.

Another issue i noticed is that the default music player doesn't automatically start up after waking from sleep despite being the last app working better the restart.

Hello

I just upgrade the android from 6 to 8 and when i remove de sd card from de GPS slot it reboot and came out with :

Recovery V8.0.6

E: failed to mount /metadata: Invalid argument

I can’t get into recovery mode or something because is turning on just when the HU want and then this Chinese thing came up ibb.co/W52nMcM.I don’t know what to do NexT...
[MTCD Software Development] oddvarr:
I have a question regarding what version to install on my HU.

I purchased my unit from Autopumpkin, January 2019.

This model link

I have done some reading about upgrading it to cusom ROM 8/9 and found I would try Hal9K.

But then I got confused.

Autopumpkin describes my unit as "RK3188 Octa Core" RK3188 has a maximum of 4 cores as I have found. I also found RK3188 is PX3

When I check info screen on my headunit I find it is "px5(1024x600)" and "MTCE" See attached photos.

So I wonder if it is a typo on autopumpkins website and my HU is NOT RK3188, but higher? Have emailed autopumpkin, but no response so far.

Or if it is some software trickery saying it is px5 when it is in fact a px3? Is this possible?

I have the original software from autopumpkin if someone knows a way I can check to be SURE.

I would like to know excact what I have prior to start reading up on what version Hal9K to use, how to do it, what NOT to do and so on.

Hopefully someone here can help me clarify this.

Thanks

Edit:

I did some more searching and found that RK3188 can be px3 or px5. Maybe I jost got confused from what I previously have found.
[MTCD Software Development] Ati_gangster:
Your device is a PX5 RK3368 and yes, it is compatible with this mod.
[MTCD Software Development] oddvarr:
Thanks Alex.

Found your youtube channel. Enjoy the coffe or hefe. :)

I also saw the possibility to use mod4 Android 9. But I see there are some issues with some BT-modules.

From your YT-channel

"The SD-968 Bluetooth module with firmware made in March 2017 or earlier works in Android 8, but does not work in Android 9.

How to find out that you have such a module: on the first page of the Factory settings, in the BT item, SD-968 is selected. The command logcat -d | grep wind_log, executed in the terminal immediately after rebooting the device, answers “verison: Mar 31 2017“.

A module with firmware made in August 2017 or later will work in Android 9."

I am not quite sure how to check this. I do need root access I presume?

Or is it as simple and try flashing mod4 and see if my BT works. If it dont, then flash with mod3?

Oddvar
[MTCD Software Development] Ati_gangster:
Thanks ?

Go into factory settings. On the first page you can see your BT module. Which Module does your device have? MD725? SD968? WQ BC6? WQ BC8? SD8350?
[MTCD Software Development] oddvarr:
I have BT WQ_BC5 And it is paired to my phone and a VGATE OBDII-reader
[MTCD Software Development] Ati_gangster:
Everything should work fine ?
[MTCD Software Development] oddvarr:
Thanks. Really appreciate your response. :)

But I seem to be missing a file shown here link Found on your YT-video link The missing file is hosted on yadi.sk Filename is: Y Series_PX5_9.0_ota(20190322).zip.

Seems like I have to register on a russian site to get access. I kinda would NOT like to do so. :) Also, cannot understand sh*t from what that site says.

I know I can go the easier route using Mod Installer Pro. But since it is possible to do it manually on PX5-units, I would like to do so.

Do you have the file I am unable to download?
[MTCD Software Development] Ati_gangster:
Instead of Y Series_PX5_9.0_ota(20190322).zip. you can directly install Hal9k Mod 4.0

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jqZjj8fEpJRW-cfCYchxCt-I-9X6aeQZ/view

So first follow my video and install Recovery 9.0.5 via MicroSD and in the second steps take the update.zip from Hal9k Mod v4.0
[MTCD Software Development] oddvarr:
Thanks.

If I can go directly from factory Android 8.0 to Hal9K Mod 4.0 I must have gotten this wrong.

From what I found on your video and here, I had to go via Android 9.0 before I could install Hal9K Mod 4.0.

Well well, back to more reading. :D

Edit:

Your update in your last post explained how I got it wrong.

But then I am on the right track.
[MTCD Software Development] paulstar82:
Yes mod 4 is good only down side I've found is the radio not showing the RDS an battery drain is a big problem so now had to put unit to completely shut down as I leave reads 12vs after a few hours being in sleep mode an already had to jump start car twice

Launcher with Minimap widget included

Hi everybody,

I use the Hal9k V4.01 on Erisin ES7909FS with rear camera..

Everything ok with default laucher.

If i use Fcc Car laucher i have issues with rear camera and Mtcdealer doesnt work, if i try Agama Car Laucher i have troubles with wheel control...

Anyway It would be very nice if developer builds a widget in the Default Laucher with minimaps api included like one of skins of Fcc Caur Laucher....it would be very useful....

Thank you Hal9k anyway.
