Hi folks,

first, awsome firmware, hail to HAL9000!

But couple of nags. Firstly I get no visible notifications even though they ARE there. Looks something hides them.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1x7WdFhHVaykcDnBKRRaimtr0m240mVAN/view

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jkzWjps_WxgbvEYO2XcrO8ixsWw-RTC3/view

But when the headunit goes to sleep, one can see the notification-symbols right before the screen shuts off (top left corner).

https://drive.google.com/file/d/19e69NlyX7qgItmrXNv-CJrXe2XAgmjFs/view

Ideas?

Another thing, the day-night-mode, nice but flawed imho. It literally blinds me when I shut down the lights at night before shutting down the car. Couple of ideas: Don't switch back to day-mode when it's actually night, switch completely to a time-based switching. Wanna be fancy, include sunrise and sunset times. To bad our headunits don't have a light-sensor.

Testing the new version of ModInstaller Pro for PX5, PX6 and PX30 processors

I installed Android 10 on my device using ModInstaller Pro - it worked just fine without any problems. Then reverted back to Android 8 using the same app and different SD card. Then back to Android 10. The whole operation took about 20-25 minutes. When I reverted back to Android 8 I had to choose manually update.zip from the SD card, because when rebooted it showed me the recovery interface.

I installed all the applications I use: Waze and iGo for navigation, FooBar for Music, Torque for diagnostics, etc. Then tested for about an hour, including driving my car with everything enabled.

For now everything works perfectly. What I tested:

- Bluetooth connection - connected both with my phone as a BT Hands Free and with the BT OBDII device for Torque

- GPS - working perfectly, positioning well. Working with Waze, iGo and Google Maps

- Radio - ok

- The sound is ok - the device is connected to my car's amplifier (Harman Cardon) and provides perfect sound

- The video-player - working perfectly, the sound is ok

- The front camera - working and recording

- The rear-camera - switching automatically, showing the rulers and the steering wheel direction when moving

- The steering wheel buttons - working perfectly.

My car is a Mercedes E280 4matic, W211, 2009. I connected the XTrons PX5 device to the Canbus, so it gets some information from there like the steering wheel position, the wheel keys, etc.

I tested all the apps included in the ROM and they work just fine. The overall feeling is very good - the system is fast and responsive. The interface is clean and pleasant. It seems better than the previous Android versions. The boot time seems a little faster than the previous version.

One small comment: the EasyConnection app that is included in the ROM is not working, but the problem is that the app is not compatible with Android 10. Here is what is written in Play Store:

Thank you very much, Hal9k for the great MOD you created!

Thanks. I am aware of this, but there are multiple ones listed. Am I able to switch to a different one? i.e. BC5/6 ?

Also, I am having issues with my OBDLink MX being able to connect to my ECU. It will pair in Bluetooth Settings, but won't work when I start Torque. Any suggestions?

ModInstaller Pro for PX30 processors

Android 10 works faster and better, but this GPS is a serious problem ...

What I tested:

- Bluetooth connection - OK

- GPS - not working

- Radio - OK

- Sound - OK

- The video-player - working, the sound is OK

- The front camera - working

- The rear-camera - switching automatically, does not show reversing lines and sensors. but I still need to check the settings.

- The steering wheel buttons - working.

- Accessibility - they do not remember the settings as it was in Android 9 before repair by Hal9k. But they display information about what permissions it asks what wasn't on Android 9.

Hi I installed Android 10 on my device using ModInstaller Pro too, my device is px30 rk3326 MTCE-LM-V3.49 and I'm coming from mod4.0.2 (without any problem)

I agree with [MENTION=2073531]prascho[/MENTION] : Very nice design, it's fast and smooth but I have problem with GPS (no fix) - I already reported via email to hal9k - I tested December and June's roms but no way to get GPS fix even with GPS test and "delete and reset AGPS". I hope to find solution. Luckily , when I switch back to mod4.0.2 then GPS works fine (15sat)

By the way, I found only a problem with "sharing Screenshot" function witch is not working, no other problem. it's a good base, thank you again Hal9k :good:
[MTCD Software Development] acvaristul:
Theoretically, the Android system recognizes himself the BT module and displays it.

So, what you see there, in that panel, is exactly what you have on your HeadUnit (HU).

If you make some hardware changes (that is, if you "mount" another BT module on your mainboard) then you can "choose" from that list.

Regarding OBD, you need to be sure that it is "compatible" with HU.

There are many manufacturers of ELM327 chip (the OBD's heart) and it all depends on their specific implementation.

The ELM327Identifier software (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.applagapp.elm327identifier&hl=en) allows you to see what generation of chip is in your device.

Not all these OBD devices work properly with these HUs.

Hi what is different between HCT and OLS? Launcher?
[MTCD Software Development] Timpuli:
First of all, thank's to Hal9k to accepting me to testing of new ModInstaller Pro for A10.

My HU: PX30, MTCE_MX_3.45

Installed A10 version was HCT7_PX30_10.0_ota, dated to 20191224.

This is what I found:

1. BT WQ_BC6 works ok, no issues what so ever. Connection to phone is fast, BT streaming works fine, etc...

2. Video and audio seems to be as good as it was with A9, no changes..

3. GPS is not working at all, no fix... Tested with Sygic and Google Maps. :(

4. WiFi works as with A9, no issues.

5. All menus are way better in A10, specially keyboard is great improvement compared to A9.

6. Somehow this version of A10 looks little bit better than A9. On the other hand, home screen is "fixed" and I haven' t found any way to modified it. This is not good.

7. Overall, responsiveness is in good level and most of the time my HU works as good as it works with A9. However, time to time and after booting up the HU, there is some lagging. But my A9 version was "tuned" by Hal9k (ver 4.0.2) and it is pretty snappy compared to stock A9 version.

I will looking forward to a new version of HCT7 version with Android 10, I hope that GPS issue can be solved.
[MTCD Software Development] djdavid:
I don't know, you? ?

So we have no chance to make it works?
[MTCD Software Development] marchnz:
Perhaps detail your findings, apart from reporting GPS isn't working, this reads vague and from emotion.

3. Gps is no-go. This results in general unusability in the intended use in a vehicle.

5. Menus are way better. What does way better mean, perhaps detail why.

6. Somehow looks better. What does somehow look better mean, what do you see. This reads like confirmation bias.

What does homescreen being fixed mean? Are you able to use another launcher?

7. Overall responsiveness is good, but it lags from time to time. Reading like a contradiction, perhaps detail when, what happens, for how long and steps to reproduce.

Also the level of 'tuning" comment is an interesting one. I haven't read any posts from hal on what has actually been modified to tune the ROM, but his general usability mods are make a good improvement at both resolving bugs and functionality improvements.

I would have though HAL address the governor issue that results in general lag due to very high processor thresholds. Using additional tuning apps such as kernel audiutor enables tuning to resolve this. At first thought, I'd say your A10 lag is because the chinese have simply compiled their rubbish source for a10, simply carrying the bugs across.
[MTCD Software Development] ShadoVeX:
After another attempt to install the Android 10 stset on the PX30. Everything works, it is much faster and better than Android 9. The only thing that does not work is Accessibility does not remember settings as it was before the patch in Android 9, and worse problem does not work GPS ...

Settings MOD, "Benachrichtigungs Symbole" = "Notification symbols" enabled, same for removable storage media.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pCr-B3PR9GDIvjghO7G__R--2z7uLS05/view?usp=sharing

Android settings, App notifications, basically shows apps do send notifications, they are just not shown.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c8BFKJDvTFQag24bHAqE_7kU4E2R7nn4/view

Android settings, App notifications, "Benachrichtigungen: Für alle Apps aktiviert" = "Notifications enabled for all apps".

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1b8K1mgUSOLVFvJrqHzMVrfi0VZGBK1IL/view

Still, no notifications shown. What else is there to set?

And remember, when going to sleep, the notification symbols ARE shown for a second, as shown in the small video I linked before. Looks to me something is misbehaving here.

I would wipe and see if that changes things, but first... backup needed. tarball of /storage/emulated/0/* and /data/* is enough?

EDIT: Oops, I just realised, /data/media/0/ is /storage/emulated/0/ so just backing up /data/* should be enough? And I did peek inside

Hal9k_Mod_4.0_MTCD_MTCE_PX5_eng.rar/backup8/update.zip/script and Hal9k_Mod_4.0_MTCD_MTCE_PX5_eng.rar/restore9/update.zip/script, could it be cobbled together to built (kinda) the backup-thing we talked about (hi, Fritz here btw.)? Not what I had in mind, but one needs an external storage device to back-up to anyway. And whether the backup is triggered via a system-settings-thingy or via "installing" a specially crafted update.zip in recovery is just cosmetics in my book. And as backing up and restoring /data it would be a great plus if one could do that while the android system itself isn't booted up. Only save way to go anyway, especially when it comes to the restore part.

Again, all is intended as a backup-solution, not a tool to ease the transition to a newer android version. Many users have spent hours even days in setting up their headunits. Defects happen (RMAed in wiped, getting system back, install HAL9k, restore /data), mishaps happen ("I wonder what rm -rf does...", getting laughed at, restore from backup, feel ashamed but happy you had a backup).

+1 anyone? :D

[MTCD Software Development] Stefan McSleaze:
Just thinking...

everybody who feels the HU has lags...

You have to know the chinese didnt do anything to cool down the mainboard or the cpu!! Temperatures with +80°C while using GPS and hearing music are normal and causes a lot of these lags.

For my HU i added a passive cooler above the CPU and an active 80mm fan too.

Now with around 35-45°C no lags cause any failures of my HU...

...only a point to think of?

I'm using v4.0.2 since beginning and I don't remember how to switch day/night theme with launcher? (I was using FCC before) I already checked automatic switch in developer option but when I turn on ignition it goes in day theme for 2 seconds and immediately in dark theme. Is it related to canbus with car lights or elsewhere?

Yes, same here! when light are switched on it goes into night mode. But you can choose both modes permanently or automatic switched by your Canbus/lights

android 10 test

I have tried the mod-installer for android 10 and it works fine without any problem. I have installed it on a Dasaita PX5 4Gb Ram and 32Gb of storage, originally it came with android 8.

I have tried 3 different ROMs and here are my impressions:

View attachment 5047341 View attachment 5047343

General on all ROMS:

.-Installed without problems everything works, from my point of view more fluid.

.-The bluetooth works in calls, shared music and obd connection. In the obd connection, it works somewhat better because although you need to connect a couple of times, the connection is stable.

.-The gps works as in android 8 without the problems of 9. It connects fast, it is stable and it positions well. Tested in MAPS, IGO and WAZE.

.-Radio is ok.

-The sound is ok.

- The rear-camera, switching automatically, showing the rulers and the steering wheel direction when moving.

.-The steering wheel buttons work fine without problems and you can change the functions on them.

HCT4_PX5_10.0_ota (20200603):

It has in the launcher the day / night function and changes with the lighting of the vehicle lights. The launcher is the traditional one and everything works well.

View attachment 5047345 View attachment 5047347 View attachment 5047349 View attachment 5047351

HA3_PX5_10.0_ota (20200610):

This version brings the launcher of px30 and px6 with which they have unified it. It has no day/night function. Just as fluid as the others, they all have the same base.

View attachment 5047353 View attachment 5047355 View attachment 5047357 View attachment 5047359

HLA_PX5_10.0_ota (20200617):

This version is totally new for me, this one does not bring the day/night function. What I like least is how little configurable the launcher is, although it gives a different view comparing them with htc and ha.

Many thanks to all participants of testing the new version of Mod Installer Pro and Android 10.

The test was successful on the fifty devices.

But I still ask the few test participants who have not yet told me about their results to do so.

It turned out that Bluetooth type MD725 does not work on current versions of Android 10 for all three types of processors PX5, PX6, PX30.
[MTCD Software Development] UnsettledSoul:
I even talked to one seller / manufacturer of those devices about the heat issue and suggested to add a better cooling solution. They acknowledged the issue and thought about it but are confident the newer PX6 design they use (the one with a very shallow heat-sink-style cover on the SOM) would be good enough and discarded the idea to add additional cooling. As I used a PX5 before and realized how hot the CPU can get, especially in the summer, especially in a cabrio, especially with all black interior, especially with a rather cramped dashboard-situation, I ordered matching coolers and fans for both devices. I somewhat get the feeling most other china-RNS-users must be living in the north and south polar circle, and that's for whom the devices are designed for.

PX6 with pimped cooling now in the car, never got over 55°C even when the sun is hitting the dash full-on and the CPU is on a stresstest... and it never throttled.. But I'd be interested in how other PX6-users fare with the stock shallow heatsink-cover. Please share!

@Hal9k_

I guess I am a little bit late to the modinstaller-test-party, but what you asked for is exactly what I need to do to eliminate possible hardware faults causing some issues with my device. So I am on your A9 right now and need to get back to stock A10 test some stuff and get back to your A9 again. Pretty please, BACKUP? :D

[MTCD Software Development] UnsettledSoul:
[MENTION=391832]ric69[/MENTION]

Do you run a device from MIC? Or why do you have the impression that random firmware of a random seller works on your device flawlessly? True, most MTCE firmwares might not brick a foreign system but smaller issues are to be expected. But if you own such a device, if a full-wipe doesn't fix GNSS (where GPS is a subset of) for you, contact the seller?

I have PX30 MTCE LM RK3326 natively android 9 and I'm not the only one in this thread with failed GPS on PX30. I tried to update MCU from 3.10 to 3.49 nothing better.

We already know PX30 has a different GPS module compared to PX5 or 6. BUT with stock rom android 9 (or Hal9k mod 4.0.2) GPS is working correctly on PX30 :good:

I also noticed that when I flash back mod 4.0.0 (from and10 to and9), GPS is not working either. I must wait for 4.0.1 OTA and then after reboot I have 12sat. So I imagine there is a "miracle" in 4.0.1 OTA but where ???
