I think I found the root cause for my issue. If you set PowerAmp to the "do not run in parallel" list in the Hal9k options together with e. g. DAB-Z, it will open twice on re-start and then close. Remove all apps from this list and it works. I mean on re-start it opens and resumes playing when you switch over from DAB-Z it is in pause mode. But I can live with that.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] stressed1964:
I'm not that lucky. I had nothing in the "do not run in paralel" once I do not use stream players. Poweramp do not start the song, I have to press play and the song starts from the beginning :confused:
[MTCD Android Head Units General] f465gt:
This happens if PA was killed. I am not sure what solved this in my case.

- set battery options to "not optimised"

- set PA to the "do close in standby" list of Hal9k options

- activate the notifications for PA in PA and Android options

- all of my music is stored on the internal flash, since USB drive and SD-cards need some time to get mounted

Maybe something of this helps.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] stressed1964:
Can you please explain me where I can disable the battery optimizing function and do not close PA in standby?. My music is all storaged in SD card because the memory of the car unit is not enough. Tasker is supposed to deal with the mounting of the SD Card.

Thank you in advance.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] f465gt:
The battery optimisation is an Android option. There is a battery option where you then can select apps that will get optimised or not. In Android 9 it is called app-start. Otherwise simply search for it in the options menu.

The "do not close in standby" option is a Hal9k mod option. I think is is pretty much the first one. Select Poweramp and it won't get killed during shutdown. For the SD card there is an option in PA v3, to "wait a little bit" after re-start.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] stressed1964:
Thanks for your patience but I cannot find the battery optimization option. I'm running Android 8 and once it is a car unit it seems to have a different menu than the mobile devices (In my phone with android 9 I could find). The other 2 changes I was able to figured out.

Best Regards,
[MTCD Android Head Units General] f465gt:
Ah you're right. You have to navigate to apps & notifications, app-info, select PowerAmp, scroll down to battery, then on this menu you'll find the optimiser setting. In the actual optimiser screen you first need to switch to the optimised apps and deselect PowerAmp.

Btw. I just saw that I mixed up some settings for the Hal9k options.

PowerAmp is not set in the "do not close during standby" option.

Instead it is set to be restarted after standby. I think that did the trick in the end.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] stressed1964:
f465gt, thank you very much for trying to help me.

Yesterday for a few hours I thought that my problem was solved when poweramp keep the position of the song when I restart my car after lunch, the only think that poweramp did not make was autoplay but it was ok for me. Unfortunatelly at the end of the day it was not keeping the position of the track again, very frustrating. Between this two times I did not change nothing in the car unit :(.

One last question, are you using the jtrosky configuration file and tasker?

Once again thank you very much for your support
[MTCD Android Head Units General] f465gt:
Hi,

I added my PA v3 settings. Just to give it a try. But it may also be that your device unmounted the SD-card while it went into deeper sleep. I used logcat to track this down. It is a bit messy the first time but in the end it is just a text file.

In the Hal9k settings I realised that there is one more option to stop re-init of USB devices. This is also not set on mine.

So in Hal9k it is:

- dot not close in standby: PA is not set

- do not run in parallel: empty

- re-start after standby: PA and PA unlocker are both set

I do not use Tasker. This does not work with PA v3.

In your case you may also try to copy a few files to your internal flash drive to see if this makes any difference. Sometimes the reading speed of the device is an issue.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] stressed1964:
Thank you once again for your efforts in trying to solve my problem.

I am almost giving up :(. Today I have tried something new, when I was driving home to lunch I powered off the unit. After lunch when I powered up again I have noticed that the player continued to play and was playing another song :confused:. It is really annoying the poweramp behaviour. I have used poweramp in my phones for several years and never experienced problems.

Regarding your poweramp settings file what is supposed I do with?

Regards,
[MTCD Android Head Units General] f465gt:
The export file can be imported by PowerAmp. There is an option at the bottom of the options menu.

If another song is playing, your unit does not go into dormant mode properly. If you have set PowerAmp as your default music player app in the Hal9k options, it is very likely that the MCU file is causing this.

I have currently no idea which version I have, but I'll check this tomorrow.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Shadow128:
Since a few weeks I'm using Tasker and Poweramp v2, which works in 99% without any problems. After ignition off poweramp is paused and after ignition it starts at the last point.

For better handling I'm syncing my SD-card with the MP3 Files to the internal storage and then Poweramp is playing the files from the internal storage. Before, with playing directly from SD-Card, I'd some problemes sometimes.

If necessary I can upload my Tasker Profile.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] stressed_carioca:
Thank you for your suggestion but I'm trying to make it work with Poweramp V3. If I do not handle how to solve it I will probably downgrade to V2.

By the way how do you sync your SD card with the internal storage? In my case I have 32Gb internal and 128Gb in the SD card.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Shadow128:
I'm using FolderSync Pro, which can be triggered by Tasker after SD Card has been mounted. But ok, that makes only sense, if you don't have soooo much MP3 files ;)

[MENTION=5541294]stressed1964[/MENTION] I checked my MCU version and it is MTCE_HA 3.06. I also found that if PA is running in the background the resume does not work.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] stressed_carioca:
Hello,

My MCU version is MTCE_GS_V3.07bd_3 that is a modified MCU for improving of the sound, my unit is XTRONS.

I have tested your poweramp settings with no success.

By the way how can I prevent poweramp to run in the background?

Thank you once again.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] f465gt:
By "in the background" I meant that the music is playing, but you have another app open in front. So simply bring PA back to the front before shutting down the HU.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] stressed1964:
I have checked and PA is not working in the background .

Anyway after try your PA settings I tried to install my backup settings with no success so I decided to reset all PA settings and start from scratch. After that the behaviour is weired, sometimes it keeps the position and start playing after unit starts, sometimes only keep the position and I have to press play and sometimes PA do not keep the position of the track :confused:

I hope I find someday a fix for it, maybe next PA version or even new MCU update, anyway thank you very much for your assistance.

Best Regards,
[MTCD Android Head Units General] f465gt:
That's interesting. When I was messing around with the Hal9k and PA settings I had a similar issue. I played around with the different audio focus settings of PA and the resume settings of Hal9k. Now I have this sort of stable setup. Occasionally PA starts instead of the last active app, so I guess the Hal9k settings still have something to do with it.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Gianpaice:
Excuse me but Im not able to use tasker very well. Now im using hal9k mod with android 8 and i play music from an 128 sd. What is the best way to try resume PA from the last position using not deep sleep?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] stressed1964:
Hi,

As you can see in my previous posts I have the same problem and according another user Tasker do not work with PA V3. I have not figured out how to solve it. I have the same configuration as you (hal9k and 128 Gb SD card). Sometimes the system resume from the last position and sometimes not, is very annoying.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Gianpaice:
I've talk with hal9k and he's not interested to resolve this issue in his new rom based in Android 9.

Furthermore Max from PA told me that v2 had not compatibility trouble but v3 yes! He is not interested to resolve it too. :(
[MTCD Android Head Units General] stressed1964:
These are sad news because I love both hal9k and PA V3 :(
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Shadow128:
In my mind it's a timing problem while switching off the head unit. And I can't understand, why it's not possible to send a trigger from the system after the ignition off signal has been recognized. That would it make much easier to handle with Tasker
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Gianpaice:
I Think that the only way to solve this is talking with Malaysk. His new Android 9 is sold for 20€. Because is the first pay rom, we could ask him togheter to solve this matter
[MTCD Android Head Units General] stressed1964:
I'm not shure if the problem is the rom or PA V3. Even when I pause the music before shut down the car when I start the car PA did not keep track position.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Gianpaice:
I Think that this rom's situation is a Little bit useless. I've bought my Android radio because i drive a lot and i wanted to use waze and a good player. They upgraded from 6 to 7 to 8 and now to 9, solving something but never about music player and i think is the most important thing in a radio car.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] stressed1964:
I agree with you 100%, I only use my car to listen music in PA once I don't like music that is played in the radio so is very frustrating :(. I have a wi-fi dongle in the car but not an unlimited data plafond.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Gianpaice:
But no one try to use another player to solve this situation? For example i Think that Black player has a better layout interface. Do you Think that is possible to try it with tasker? If doesn't work in this way too, is a rom matter!
[MTCD Android Head Units General] stressed1964:
I'm done with Poweramp in my car. I still use it in my phone.

I have tested Stellio in my car and it keeps the track position if I press pause before shutdown the unit and press play after turn it on. Does anyone knows what do I have to change in Jtrosky's config file in order to replace poweramp by stellio? Thank you in advance.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] stressed1964:
Anybody know if there is a solution already for use PA V3 with Hal9k rom? Stellio also have an irregular behaivour in my unit :(
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Gianpaice:
No one knows it. I had tryed for years. I think is very strange that hal9k or Malaysk made new Roms based on new versions of android upgrading only layout but not this important thing!
[MTCD Android Head Units General] f465gt:
Hm, in my Android 8 unit with Hal9k it is working almost flawlessly. I wrote it earlier, how I achieved that.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] stressed1964:
Do you have the same setup as me (Hal9k 3.1 and music stored in a SD card) ?

I am loosing my mind with this problem.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] f465gt:
I have Hal9k 3.1.2 (the latest) and I am using the internal flash. The problem with external storage is usually that it is too slow during the mounting process. PA has an option for that but I don't know if this really helps. So you will need a lightning fast SD card and add a small waiting time before PA can access it.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Gianpaice:
Im using the same sd that i've used in android 8 with power amp v2. Now with android 9 and pa v3 doesn't work
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Shadow128:
I think it's also a problem to get the right timing for pausing poweramp (maybe also closing) and internal unmount of the sdcard.

I'm copying also my MP3s to internal flash and don't have any problems with playing them via PowerAmp v2.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] stressed1964:
Now I'm really confused. Poweramp V3 is working ok (keep the track position when returning from sleep) but I had to disable the "restart applications that worked before sleep". In this case I have always to start Poweramp manually after the reboot as well as the radio. I only could have this working after return to launcher 3.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Gianpaice:
Im using the last Malaysk update and PA seems to work! The song remembers the position but doesn't start by it self. Maybe i can resolve using tasker
[MTCD Android Head Units General] stressed1964:
So basically is the same as me ?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] roydestroy:
Anybody knows if it is possible to have PA pause when a call is received and then resume when it is ended?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] name000:
auto resume spotify

hi everyone,

i have a px5 eonon ga9151b with android 8.0

i purchased tasker and agama launcher but the pausing seems to be too late, just at a fraction of a second before shutdown, so it doesnt remember the position.

the main question would be, how can i make spotify to stay alive during sleep, because it seems to be stopped automatically (battery optimization off already-doesnt work) each time the device goes to sleep

second question: how can i make a tasker command to be faster than the shutdown, currently im using the intent checking com.microntek.bootcheck??

third question: is it possible to achieve these without rooting ? i would not risk bricking this device and/or losing warranty or ****

please help me :fingers-crossed:

thanks alot!
[MTCD Android Head Units General] djdavid:
In the option you can set it.

I have Hal9k 4.0.2 and Agama launcher, Mp3s on microSd.

If PowerAmp is on screen and i turn off car, as I restart it, song will continue, same position as before.

If I'm in the Agama screen, with PowerAmp song playing, after turn off and on the car, song is in pause. As I enter in PowerAmp it starts automaticaly from the same position (i set PowerAmp option to play as it's opened).

I have the option "Restart applications that worked before sleep" ON.

I try to disable and verify what happens.

I will let you know.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] djdavid:
I tried, nothing. It do not resume.

It resume only if the app is opened and on screen.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] kybunnies:
I would like to jailbreak this Fire and be able to add apps and use it as a dedicated device for a specific purpose. When I attempt to download the apps from the Amazon app page I see a notice that the device is not supported. I know I purchased this device in 2012 or 2013, so I know it is old.

So tell me would it be possible to jailbreak this device and put current Android OS on it and download some specific apps?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
Do you have a HD 8.9 or HDX 8.9? They are very different devices with different paths to FireOS freedom.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] kybunnies:
I have the Kindle Fire HD 8.9. If I posted in the wrong thread I apologize.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
No worries. You have a 2nd generation Fire HD 8.9 code named "jem". I have the 7 inch mode code named "tate". Both can be unlocked and accommodate a variety of custom ROMs. However, the path is not easy and will take a significant investment on your part to read up on techniques an caveats and then successfully apply them to your device. The following threads should prove helpful:

https://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hd/8-9-inch-help

https://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hd/8-9-development

Alternatively, you can purchase a package that will simplify the process. This is one example:

https://www.perfectlyandroid.com

The site may look childish but the product is the real deal. That said, it is likely the support staff has moved on as 2nd generation devices haven't been sold since 2012. You may not need them but you'd probably want to confirm availability before laying down any coin.

Keep in mind this device is 6+ years old with limited capabilities even with a custom ROM. A $40 phone from WalMart will easily run circles around this pup.

Good luck.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] kybunnies:
So it would probably be better to purchase a new/newer device for what I want. I mainly want the device to use as a dedicated bible with bible apps. I have a new Kindle Fire 7 inch with a 64 GB micro SD card. But with having 20-50 books , Calibre Companion, Moon+Reader pro and one bible app takes up all memory. This is before adding any additional purchases from the bible app. I have it where apps are suppose to be stored on the SD card but that does not help. I honestly hate getting rid of this Kindle Fire 8.9 since it is still working and holds a charge. I admit that I have side loaded most of the apps I want but I can't get one app to login so my info/notes will sync. This is why I thought about jailbreaking the device to see if I could get a new version of the app installed. Maybe I wold be better off searching for a refurbished iPad or buying a new Kindle Fire 8 or 10 inch. Something to think about.

Thanks so much for the help.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] sd_shadow:
Installing a different Android version on any of the Amazon Fire's requires a custom rom.

Installing a custom rom requires either a unlocked bootloader or root access.

None of the 5th gen or newer have any means of unlocking the bootloader, and only the 7th gen HD 10 has a root method, but no custom roms.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] kybunnies:
Please do not take my response as being smart/snarky. I honestly do not understand a word you said except I can't jailbreak any Kindle Fire that is 5th generation or newer.

Only reason I want to jail break this one is because I cannot install a couple of apps that I want.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] sd_shadow:
Jailbreak is an iPhone thing, does not apply to Android or in this case FireOS.

If is to just an apps problem, that doesn't necessarily mean you need to do any modifications like root.

The apps just do not install?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] kybunnies:
Okay I am showing how much I do not know about this stuff.

When I go to the app page at Amazon my device is not supported. The app is free so I have downloaded it and tried to sideload it. Again it will not install. I have found older versions of the app and some will install but they will not allow me to login and sync my info. I can login to the apps website via the device without any problems. The Wi-Fi signal is strong so that is not the problem. On my Kindle Fire purchased in July (used for digital books) the apps installs easily and I am able to log in.

Yes I know it would be easier to just put the app on the newer Kindle but the screen is smaller and some of the older adults at church enjoy seeing/reading all the different versions I pull up on the Bible. I just want to put the app on the larger screen Kindle and make it easier for everyone to see.

My phone has very low speaker. On full, it sounds like on half of volume level in other phones. Bluetooth sound is OK!

Do you experience this?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] NPriyo:
You can change RX Digital volume values (in /vendor/etc/mixer_paths.xml) to 87 or more. Then reboot. Don't increase too much at once.

Additionally, you can install Viper4Android. Then,

1. Extra Loud - On; Effect Strength - Extreme; Max Gain - Infinite; Max Output - 0 dB.

2. Master Gain Limiter: Output Gain - 6 dB.

If that's still not loud enough, then your loudspeaker is physically damaged.

Read my post in this thread, second post. You are fine, as you can still get into TWRP, you are just using a really old version of TWRP, and further complicating things by trying to flash treble ROMs.

Update to the latest version of Bluesparks TWRP which you can flash from your current TWRP, then reflash the full factory ROM. Note it will replace recovery if it is successful.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] crakerjac:
^^ +1. As long as you can boot into recovery, you are fine. The trick is installing a ROM that is compatible with your TWRP.

I am using codeworkx TWRP 20180822 and running the last Oreo build of Omnirom. First update your TWRP image, then find your OREO rom and install that. You may need to format data with the new TWRP first.

Anyways I'll try a factory reset and pray to God to see if there is a backup of all my data.

Is frustrating because viruses can't be the problem, I don't use the phone to explore the web or download things, just the classic, WhatsApp, maps, Facebook etc.
