You won't find any other ROM with this ability except Malaysk A8 rom that has MTCE-utils built in. I've searched hi and low to find other methods, and as far as I know, other than stock ROM's, there's not many options out there for our head units other than Malaysk and Hal9k ROM's.

But I'm SO glad we have those 2 making ROM's for our head units :good:

I too run the I-Bus App, with the Resler USB interface. I have to run it for the factory DSP amp to turn on. I LOVE that app and it's amazing how it can integrate with the car. But I find the interface a little lacking (though it kind of resembles the stock HU) and that's why I use FCC for the most part. But one of my SWC's switches between the I-Bus app and my FCC home page. So I can get the best of both worlds :D

If you're running the I-Bus app, then try these settings:

Go to Settings; Other; And make sure BOTH the 2nd and 3rd options down are checked and enabled for "Steering wheel button control (Enable control of music and volume with steering wheel buttons.(without CAN bus box)" and the "PX6/PX5/PX3 device (steering wheel control head units with PX5/PX3 boards)".

I think some keys will work without MTCE-Utils with these options. None of my keys except volume (because the MCU controls volume) worked at all without these options enabled.

Hi,

I am a little bit lost with all te previous posts...

I am searching for this screen :

Is it this app, or another screen setup page ? :

Because I have nothing in this app :

Furthermore, I don't have any notification with this new ROM. It is anoying because I was using a tasker task which was watching If the CAMSAP plus app was running, and if not, the task was start again the application, in order to be sure that the app was always running!

Is it the same for you ?

I'm using mod ver.3.1 now. Recently OTA brings me and update for mod version 4, but only the page to pay for updates comes up.

I'm interested in testing hal9k mod version 4.

I found the "Update from Android 8 with saving data:" in first post and I downloaded all necesary files.

So there is no need to update recovery to android 9?

Or "Install mod v4.x by the method above" means that I must install recovery and install mod from recovery?

Thank you

[Bug] - Media information

I think I've found a kind of strange bug regarding the way media metadata is handled.

I use KLWP (Kustom Live Wallpaper) to create my own live wallpaper. It lets you build a variety of different features like launching apps, and displaying media album art and information direct from the wallpaper.

This works perfectly on my Galaxy S8. When I'm playing a song on Spotify my wallpaper changes to show the album art and track information. When I change to a pocketcasts podcast it immediately updates all the information.

When I use this exact same wallpaper on my Android 9 PX5 running the latest Hal9K it still functions but will only ever show Spotify information unless I force close Spotify and then start a different media player, it will then randomly switch back to Spotify information.

If Spotify is playing and I start a podcast, it just shows whatever was last playing on spotify.

Could there be something wrong with the way media sessions are handled on this ROM as KLWP pulls all media metadata from the current Android media session.

I can provide more information and testing if it helps.

Hi,

I found an issue with Waze. When I activate the "restart apps that were running before standby" option, Waze will come up at each restart. The thing is that Waze was not active before standby. This didn't happen on the v3 mod.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

No, you are wrong. This Mod is available for MTCD/MTCE devices with PX5, PX6 and PX30.

His Joying has also a PX30, but it is not a MTCE Device. So he can't install this mod.

Okay, he didn't wrote that, so I thougt he checked that before.

[MTCD Software Development] iMattmax:
at first you are absolutely right, but this is a topic for Hal9k Mod v4 for MTCD / E head units with Android 9/8/6.

In my opinion, you should assume certain things from someone who writes here:

1. the member knows what kind of HU he has and if he is not sure he leaves a few more results/information about his HU,

2. assume that the person has read the entry of this topic, because a lot has already been described there or has been saved with videos,

3. is sure what he is doing, because the installation of this mod happens on his own responsibility,

I think that this is certainly not too much when dealing with each other.
[MTCD Software Development] Frup:
Hi all,

I have a PX30 and installed 4.0.0 last week. I like the rom. But GPS lags, and slow fix.

According to the changelog 4.0.1 fixes several GPS issues. However, I read several 4.0.1 users still reporting GPS lag issues. The changelog mention that not all GPS fixes work for PX30. Are there any PX30 users who can share their GPS experience with 4.0.1? I like to know before upgrading to the paid version.
[MTCD Software Development] manikgr:
Well I have an A-Sure PX5 MTCE 4/16GB on v. 4.0.1. and I have absolutely no problem with GPS ( I had no problem with factory A8 rom neither).

So no one can tell you in reality if 4.0.1 would be OK for you unless you try it by yourself. Have you had the same problem with factory ROM? Is the antenna of the GPS well located in the car?
[MTCD Software Development] naira1:
I am having the same issue with GPS as many others. I hope Hal9k can fix this with next update. Other than that the ROM is awesome.

Simple answer, IMPROVEMENTS!!! More stability!!! And this IS the appropriate thread, as he asked about using it with THIS ROM!!!! Stop being so nasty towards someone who just asked a question. This thread isn't exactly booming with activity. So get over it...
[MTCD Software Development] Frup:
Solved without bricking!

I followed the ‘SD-firmware Tool’ method and flashed the latest manufacturer rom.

Might try again Hal9K rom (paid version) later if a new ota release is available.
[MTCD Software Development] 10thDmenxn:
You can fix this by upgrading the MCU to 3.45. At least for me, when I updated the MCU, the unit started coming on with radio instead of maps. Hope this helps...
[MTCD Software Development] f465gt:
Thanks, I will check this if the 3.45 is available for the MX series.

In the meantime I figured out that there is a setting that says "start navigation app in foreground". So I unset this and Waze was starting in the background. After I did a reboot via the system menu, not via the reset button, Waze stopped to start at reboot.

So it is sort of fixed. :confused:
[MTCD Software Development] whitewolf8111:
Hmmmmm, this is weird. The same thing happens for me when I open up the Wheelkey Study APP, it's just like yours, nothing.

But my keys under factory settings ARE there....

Not sure if it would affect it or not but did you change your CanBus settings at all? What car is this on? Have you ever changed your MCU? What version are you on?

It might be because you have a button-less head unit......
[MTCD Software Development] RomainD2:
Yes, I was using the 2.93 MCU MX version, I try with the 3.13, and now the 3.30. Same thing.

Even under Android Hal9k V3 ROM, I had the same problem.

My car is a Renault Clio IV. There are no physical buttons on my head unit. I am trying to use the steering wheel button as we can see in the video, in order to be able to use long press button.

[MENTION=4232157]BlueChris[/MENTION]

I also have a pumpkin PX5. And I am running this latest mod from Hal9K. So you do not have to upgrade your MCU.

Also, switching to another MCU than KLD I would strongly advise NOT to do. Unless you find posting saying it is safe and posted from someone you really trust.

A bricked unit is just dead weight...

Also, I would not upgrade just to uppgrade. I would upgrade if it is a reason for it.

Hal9K linked to a russian site in his first post in this thread. Here there are som older MCU`S for KLD. I seem o recall I have read something about KLD 2.88 is tweaked for better audio. But I need to do some more reading if I ever should downgrade.

Manfred.62 (Could not tag you)

I have seen that site previous. And it says what it always have said.

I have exceeded my daily limit, and I have to download to yandesk disk and download from there.

Here are the steps to install Android 9 on my PX5 running your 3.1 ROM (without data wipe):

1) Copy the update.zip package coming from the "/backup8/" folder on the root of a FAT32 USB

2) Connect the USB to the HU and install the update.zip without wiping the data. A multivolume archive with your data (userdata*) will be created on the flash drive.

3) Install the " ModInstaller Pro application" bought from http://hal9k.ru/mtcdmod/

4) Within the ModInstaller Pro application choose to install update.zip package coming from the root folder (from 4.0 ROM) and wait for the full boot of Android 9

5) Copy on the USB cretated at point 2 the update.zip package coming from the "/restore9/" folder (from 4.0 ROM)

6) Restart the HU and wait the complete boot (This may last longer than usual. The system needs time to convert the data)

As emergency solution, a Data Wipe should work.

I must be retarded as I have the same issue.

PX5 headunit (Running HAL9 3.1 now)

Updated to MTCE_KLD_3.01 (as no newer version available).

Added DSP.

I was trying to to backup first but I gave up after 20min... did a wipe. I have tried loading it via "update avialble" popup as well as mod-installer.

..unless the mode-installer is not the same as mod-installer pro?????

The same error. Is there any way to debug it?

Thanks for your reply. Can you let me know where to find "full update.img" of android 9, for PX5, I can only find OTA .zips
[MTCD Software Development] scoote2014:
I found my my issue.... I downloaded to head and tried from that don't.. you need to update recovery to andriod 9 ( I used Mod pro that way not mistake if I have to go back to 6-8 ect. Plus Don't mind supporting dev if it means longer life for hardware.)

I down loaded via pc copied to USB. Then copied update.zip to USB from PC. Switched to Android 9 in Mod pro. Then once rebooted installed via USB Done installed no issue that way. I missed that recovery has to be updated to Andriod 9 First. Good luck ? also password for zip for mod pro was 123. It will still jnzip with wrong password. Didn't notice that until I had issue.
[MTCD Software Development] Moldeb:
Backup can take longer, just wait. Restore is much faster. I don't understand the rest of your procedure - you can certainly not upgrade from Oreo to Pie simply through "update available" because that will not upgrade the recovery and the Oreo recovery cannot handle a Pie system. The easiest way to update is through Modinstaller Pro.

For me it worked well to just follow the instructions in the archive and in Modinstaller Pro. Updated my MTCE KSP 3.07 (Pumpkin) from 3.1 to 4 including backup / restore.

What make you sure it contains improvements? More often than not, these contain regression bugs.

Go ahead and update your MCU and feel good about an arbitary higher number, or learn a little and find out how you can help others with the right information.

Update MCU improved a lot in my case. I was having issue with BT calls (crackling sounds), some problem with switch off automatic unit with engine ignition off. (Delay was randomly 10s or 30s or never...)

My unit was with MTCE LM V3.10 and I tried a lot of version : original V3.42 , V3.30bd and finally V3.30sp+cs-x was the best in my opinion.

So try and test but the best improvement was awesome sound (with Wadzio or cs-x Mod), and it solved my problem with ignition or BT
[MTCD Software Development] RomainD2:
Thank you very much! It is working perfect now!

I try to do the same for the touch buttons of the android head unit, it is working well for the short press case, but it doesn't work for long press. Do you have any ideas ?

Furthermore, I have noticed that when my GPS application, or for example google assistant, is speaking, it doesn't cut the music, as in my previous hal9k V3 configuration. I don't remember if there is a thing to change to do that ?

Desperate help needed

Hi all,

So I have a px6 head unit in my focus.

I downloaded the rom and placed it on an SD card

A pop up window appeared saying "press OK to update ROM"

Next thing, the head unit has rebooted and I see a moving circle and saying "Installing system update"

Then the white progress bar got right to the end and the message changed to "Erasing"

Now the unit does nothing.

It's just a blank screen. I can see the back light working when I turn on the ignition and the glass button lights with the headlamps but that is it.

This device has no physical buttons.

Also reverse camera doesn't work whereas usually it'll work within 5 seconds of starting the car.

What do I need to do to fix it? Or is it a binned unit now?

It's only a month old.

Thanks for any help
[MTCD Software Development] wbatt1983:
Oh dear, is looking more and more like a bin job.

I'm guessing that it completely wiped all the original firmware off the device too.

The USB port still powers my mobile phone, so is there anyway I can plug a laptop into that and write firmware to it?
[MTCD Software Development] naira1:
There should be a tiny pin hole meant for accessing recovery. If you have that, then insert a blunt pin (for lack of a better word) press and hold until it's starts to blink then release to access recovery.

If you have access to recovery you can install the original firmware.
[MTCD Software Development] wbatt1983:
Is that the pin hole that says Reset? Tried that, but all it does is turn off the back screen lights and the illumination of the glass buttons.
[MTCD Software Development] naira1:
Yes that's the one. You need to press and hold it about 10 sec minimum, until it blinks 3 times then release and press it quickly again to bring up the recovery. Check
