[MTCD Android Head Units General] RolandE1204:
I'm currently owning a MTCE device. I'm a software developer (.NET). I'm a design and UX fetishist.

I see many folks of you have posted different apps, skins, mods, a.s.o. to get the best out of the headunit that is possible.

One problem I have seen is, that if I want to have a full working headunit, I will have to read thousand of forum-posts, try hundreds of software and then get stuck by a few apps that design is not fitting together.

Why isn't it possible, to join the forces to make a fully working ROM with preinstalled software that looks as if it was designed and made by the manufacturer? One design (maybe skinnable), one UX, selectable apps. So a newbie (like me) will get a fully functional headunit (including the basics like radio, DAB, mediaplayer, navigation, ...) that looks like factory-made with installing only the ROM.

Modern cars already have a well working headunit that has a seamless UI and UX between the different functions. Why shouldn't this be possible on our headunits?

I would suggest, that all of you developers, skinners, modders, should join your forces and create an experience for our headunits that will outreach the currently built-in headunits of modern cars.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] kmlnvm:
What's wrong with hal9k or malaysk mod? They are fully working and in my opinion are better than original head unit from my car. You can even use google assistant, so you can control everything by your voice.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] KoTiX2:
Maybe my mods will suit your needs?

Have a look at my channel:

https://www.youtube.com/user/KoTiX71
[MTCD Android Head Units General] rigattoni:
I exactly know what you are talking about.

Whether malaysk nor Hal9k are the greatest thing since sliced bread and do not fulfill what I and you [MENTION=2139269]RolandE1204[/MENTION] are expecting.

A common UI with same buttons and same background, coordinated in function and visibility would be awsome.

...but..... and now we have the main issue:

All firmware are made of apps from different developers and are just bundled in the firmware. This leads automatically to different UI for each single app.

You won´t get a navigation app which fits any other UI. You won´t get a player app fitting the UI of your launcher. If you would want this, each single app needs to get developed or at least adapted to a UI.... None will do that and as far as I know there is no possibility to create a common UI which adapts 3rd party applications. Each app has it´s own one.

This is one of the benefits of an OEM unit. There you have to pay a lot more and it is not configurable at all, because it is completely closed.... but with a common interface...
[MTCD Android Head Units General] RolandE1204:
That's right ... but does it have to be like that?

[MENTION=2534110]rigattoni[/MENTION] You're absolutely correct. But does it have to be this way? Here at xda-developers are all the guys (and girls) that do the best work like malaysk, hal and many others that do very great work.

With a little more work together, there could be a complete solution that would not also work but also look great.

I may think too simple but there has to be a design and UX guideline, that has to be created and every application that will be developed using this guideline, will fit nearly seamless into the bundle of all other apps.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] RolandE1204:
Also I'm sure that there are also som people like me, owning a slightly older car that hasn't built in a headunit with such functions. I like my car (Peugeot 308CC) and would buy it again but I wanted to add functionality that hasn't been in (rear drive camera, good working navigation, ...).

Just to clarify: I'm not searching for a free solution and I understand that this means a lot of work that can mainly be done by enthusiasts, but I'm also willing to pay for a solution that works and looks like a charm. So I think that even if we are talking about different applications that work together seamless, I am sure that there are people like me, who are willing to pay money for this.

I'm currently living with a mediaplayer (poweramp [blue]) that has a different behaviour and look like the radio (stock [black/white]) and a navigation app (magic earth [orange]) that also doesn't fit in. Other applications (TPMS, Bluetooth-Calling, Car-Status) are also looking very different.

I know that there are persons doing great work in modifying roms and apps but they all have their different design-language. So why not using a centralized design and UX language and creating a bundle of software that makes every owner of an android headunit as proud as he can be?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] rigattoni:
Do we get these devs together to work on one version with a common UI?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Andy Alias:
I would love everything to look similar, but I would settle for great looking apps that look different. Like that guy who posted the youtube link - nice radio app, but would look for a different music app
[MTCD Android Head Units General] marchnz:
Yes, confused, malysk and hal9k are already this way. Perhaps OP wants to define look and feel.

Perhaps too, OP might not understand that source code to the MTCD units has not been released and that to a large extent work is by reverse engineering?

---------- Post added at 09:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 AM ----------

Sure, how would you do that?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] rigattoni:
[MENTION=4974080]marchnz[/MENTION]: It was just a question. Nothing else to be interpreted into this question... ;)
[MTCD Android Head Units General] RolandE1204:
I'm aware

[MENTION=4974080]marchnz[/MENTION]: I'm aware that reverse engineering is hard work. I've already done this by myself (as I said, I'm a .NET developer).

I'm not into developing android software but I'm sure it is a lot of work too.

As long as I do have the commitment of some developers that they want to follow design guidelines, I'm able to create some. What I don't want to do is, to create guidelines that nobody is considering. Also I do not want to patronize someone. So if someone commits that he wants to use guidelines and has a definitive app in mind he wants to work on, we can work out guidelines.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] RolandE1204:
Maybe first of all invite some developers:
[MENTION=3068641]jamal2367[/MENTION]

[MTCD Android Head Units General] behnammodern:
im sorry I didnt get your meaning

whats the plan?

i'm a developer I mean what are we going to do?

can you explain more clear?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] RolandE1204:
What has to be done is to unify the UI and UX of all the major apps that are needed.

The best would even be to make them skinnable.

So there is a need to create a common UI for

- Radio

- Media-Player

- Bluetooth (Calling)

- Vehicle (Doors, Trunk, ...)

What I already can say is, that there will be a skinnable version of magic earth (navigation) in the near future.

Also it would be nice if during this process, some smaller issues of a software can be fixed. (ie. Radio looses the station-names on reboot and only shows frequencies)

Anyone who will contribute on this project, please leave a message or send me a PM.

Hey :)

If you are interested in a radio player that runs over the internet then have a look here!

GitHub: https://github.com/jamal2362/URL-Radio

Download: https://jamal2367.org/downloads/?dir=Apps/URL Radio

You could install it on your mobile phone and use the app in landscape format and see what it looks like on the MTCE.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] RolandE1204:
I've never written about a radio that works over the internet.

[Networking] zinamike:
I've spent countless hours on the phone with T-mobile customer care, days searching the net. I tried basically every single setting possible and no matter what I do I can't connect to the internet or send MMS on my Tilt at all. Does anyone have any Idea how to get wap or mms working for t-mobile on windows mobile 6.1?
[Networking] KarmaNP:
I'm hoping that you already have a data plan, if not then you might want to add it by calling the Tmobile or just add it by logging through the website. This is what I use on mine:

Go to Start>Settings>Connections>Add or Manage new connection and on Access Point Name (APN) wap.voicestream.com and hit next and just click finish.

Good Luck
[Networking] tweker:
thanks for the help
[Networking] zinamike:
I had the 5.99 t-zones package which worked fine on windows mobile 6.0. After flashing 6.1 It wouldn't work and I do have the access point set to wap.voicestream.com, I'm not one to just post a question without doing my research. I tried numerous different settings and followed numerous tutorials but nothing works. I finally resorted to ordering the $19.99 Internet package and oddly it works just fine now, instead of using the access point wap.voicestream.com I changed it to internet2.voicestream.com for the 19.99 internet plan. It sucks however that I have to pay 15 dollars a month extra to enjoy what I paid only 5.99 a month for before. The reason why I don't switch back to WM 6.0 is because I have grown accustomed to the threaded sms and it's a feature I really don't want to give up. I know there's threaded sms application but nothing can compare to having it built in. If anyone has a fix for this or can give some idea's please do. I'd much rather revert back to paying 5.99 a month as opposed to the 19.99 I began paying a month today.
[Networking] joemanb:
this is a cab file I made for the tmo $5.99 plan and arscsoft mms 4.2.8.1. It works on my wm6 rom. Maybe it'll work for you.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2237367&postcount=1
[Networking] zinamike:
I will give it a try now, I have to call T-mobile and have them switch me back to the 5.99 plan. I've got my fingers crossed.

::EDIT::

After I installed your .cab file and had t-mobile switch my plan to the 5.99 t-zones it now WORKS!! Flawlessly. Dude you don't know how many threads I came across with so many people that had the same problem and just could not get this working. Maybe you should make it's own thread for this that I can link people to with the same problem, that way you'll get the credit for you work and people from other forums can be directed to xda-developers.

Again thank you for this, I really appreciate it!

We're using a Pixel 2 XL and a Pixel 3XL.

Unfortunately, 2XL got dropped yesterday and screen is badly damaged. :crying:

Is it worthwhile getting same replacement on say Amazon, as Google Store is not selling them anymore, or would XDAers suggest a better option e.g. 3aXL?

Don't even have to replace it with Pixel 2 phone...open to other ideas/suggestions.

Thank you.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Mr. Blanco:
If my pixel 2 xl broke and i didn't have a back-up phone i would most likely get the pixel 3xl , but if i did have a back-up phone , i would use that till the pixel 4 xl came out , just my 2 cents :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] IconBoy:
Sadly, don't have the luxury of waiting for the Pixel 4.

Need to replace 2XL asap as needed for business.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Mr. Blanco:
Sorry to hear about the screen breaking :(

But you do have a couple options , unfortunately they all cost money ...lol you could have the screen replaced/fixed

or you could buy a used or new P2 xl online or if money isn't an object go for the P3 xl
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Where you're using the P2XL for business I assume you don't care about root for that device? If that is the case then getting a replacement on Amazon should work out for you, since the units on Amazon are likely to be Verizon models, regardless of what the seller says. If however root is important to you, then you want to get your replacement P2XL from Swappa. A screen replacement however might be better still, since then you wouldn't have to set up a new device.

If time is of the essence and money is no object, you could of course go with the P3XL, but then you would have to deal with that accursed notch. You may want to think about the P3AXL instead. You don't get the flagship-level processor and you get a plastic body instead of glass. which actually is a plus, but most everything else found on the P3XL is in the P3AXL.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] daniel4653:
I would recommend that you replace the screen which should be like $100-120, or get a used Pixel 2 XL for about $200.

Thanks for the replies.

We are the business so it's not the typical "IT folks will give us a new one" kinda thing.

Was thinking about the 3XL but wondered if it's worth paying all that when we have one already. Was looking in to the 3a XL as the person using the devices doesn't need ultra high tech.

Any ideas if the new OnePlus phone is worth it or would you folks stick with Pixel...?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I steered my roommate to a P3AXL after her using my Nexus 6 for two years. She doesn't need flagship-level specs so there you go.

I believe a P3AXL is a better option than the OnePlus device.

I've tried lots of Pie roms and most, if not all of them have very poor screen-on time, just about 5-6 hours. While on MIUI 9.5 - Android 7.1, I managed to get about 9 hours of SoT. Same usage: surfing the internet with Chrome, using Facebook and Messenger.

Which Pie rom has the best battery life at the momment? I use Pie because of its good compability with google camera and night sight mode, so I cannot use Android 7.1.

I'm using Havoc 2.7.

Pie ROMs I've tried: MIUI 10 EU Pie, MIUIPro 10 Pie, Havoc, RR, DotOS, DotOS Extended, crDroid, PE, PEX (PornAOSP), XenonHD, AEX, Decendants, Syberia, Oneplus 5T Port.
