Action Screen Tab!

Wow... Look what I managed to to!! :D

'Maybe someone already done this..??'

The TouchPro Action Screen In it's own tab...

If I only could figure out how to rotate it and change the tab icon...!

Just add this to 26948339_manila

<Page Order="11" Name="LandscapeMenu.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="Action" >
<ComponentReference Name="page" Mode9Path="HTC\LandscapeMenu.mode9" Component="LandscapePageComponent" SmartComponent="true" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_normal" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Programs_Off" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Programs_On" />

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Elvelynn:
Wow that's really great :eek:

Altough I Don't know how we could edit the icon for this tab, I've seen that there is a tab-icon for the CommManager (42d367fd_manila).

Could it be that there is also a hidden tab for the CommManager?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Rotkaeqpchen:
Does not work for me, ...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NisseDILLIGAF:
Here's the commmanager... but I dont think it looks that nice... :rolleyes:

<Page Order="12" Name="communications.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="[[IDS_COMMUNICATIONS]]" >

<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Programs_Preview" />
</Page>

I think we have to figure out the name mode9 name of the icon...

so instead of Component="Programs_Off" It would be Component="CommManager_Off" or Component="Action_Off"

@Rotkaeqpchen

What happens?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Elvelynn:
Yes, it really look's not so nice ;)

But if we change the color font in the CommManager from black to white, than it's not so bad.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] D-MAN666:
Action Screen is the Landscape Mode menu indeed. And for Comm Manager - nice finding, will dig it up for new API functions! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Elvelynn:
That would be very cool ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] D-MAN666:
Update:

I think i know why font color is wrong. It's not separate tab, but a modal dialog, which was lately replaced with standalone Comm Manager application. Same for Music Settings (which can be normally accessed from Music tab).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Dpakrawal:
Hay.. Is it possible to have a tab of this sort, for tasks !!!???

Not able to copy updated manilla file to Dimaond Windows folder

Hi I updated 26948339_manila file for adding new tabs now when I try to copy it to my Diamond's Windows folder I'm unable to. gives me a error "Access is Denied". It seems the file on Diamond is read only as I cannot delete or rename it either. Please help advice.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] pen6uin:
try copying it with anything other than the wm file explorer..

Great Help! used Total Commander and it worked.

Well, make this happen for all your themes, when I am on my Touch Pro and I slide out my keyboard... that's what I want to see :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] _Nomad_:
one of bepe's ROM's have that functionality activated, when rotating the device while in TF3D the action screen appeared.

can change the direct push for 3g option in commanager tab?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ericsson68:
I think from the other thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=432528&page=8 that it's hard-coded. I've tried changing the order of comm manager with Advanced Config but this doesn't translate through to this tab.

I would also like 3G button - being able to switch off direct push is no use to me as I need it on all the time - that's sort of the point of having an exchange server!

If anyone knows how to change this please let us know.

I don't have any "\Windows\26948339_manila" on my HTC Touch Diamond. Can you tell me why? I'm running the SwiftBL 7.5 Rom.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NisseDILLIGAF:
It's hidden.. u have to use a nice filemanager like Total Commander...

Can't use standard file manager...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Mar'Cel:
Works great with german T-Mobile ROM.

You can use Gyrator2 (or GSen) to turn Manila to Landscape.

I just use following orientation: Portrait & Reverse Landscape

(or Landscape... what u like more)

with Event: Rotate Screen.

So you don't have a flipping screen on every action but you can fully use the new implemented LANDSCAPE tab :-)

I know... the rest of Manila can flip to landscape too but that is a necessary bad^^

Great finding Nisse :-)

[B00nage] I hate to ask the ignorant, redundant question, but does anyone have a link to a full (or edited with extra tabs) package of the raphael manila? Every thread I get to in a search seems to lead one way or another. I like some of hte mods and have many of them done in my manila package such as the calendar, comm manager and sounds tabs. So, I can re-add these if necessary. Anyway, if someone has a good link I would appreciate it. [/b00nage]
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dennismdk:
Well, now I found the file. But when I click it I got the message that I cannot open it. How can I edit this file?

When I connect my mobile with Mobie Device Center in Vista and go to the file explorer on my device, I cannot see the Windows-folder. Are there any way to see this on my laptop? It would be easier to edit the filer from my computer.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Blazeitup123:
you need to show hidden files and folders in your pc settings. you are supposed to edit the manila from your pc. copy file to pc, edit, save, trasfer to device and replace with total commander or resco explorer, yes to system notification, restart manila, done. :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dennismdk:
My explorer are showing hidden files. I've done this in Vista by <ALT> -> Tools -> Folder Options -> View -> Show hidden files and folder.

But when I connect my phone with ActiveSync and open the phone from "my computer" under "Portable devices" the windows-folder are not represented on the disk :(

For users with MD725 Blue wanting to upgrade to Android 10, a potential BT module swap may now be possible. A supplier found here:

https://a.aliexpress.com/_msfMaoV

update 11/21 - can be installed in any unit. Only the RX, TX and supply are connected.
[MTCD Hardware Development] Giorgio-cc:
this would work with every px5?
[MTCD Hardware Development] marchnz:
If your unit is an MTCD, and wanting to "upgrade" to Android 10, either PX5 or PX6 HCT SOM is applicable.
[MTCD Hardware Development] SkyBeam2048:
I am not fully sure if this will always fit. I got a KLD unit and it uses MD725. The MD725 modules are integrated Bluetooth/WiFi module. The module actually is sitting on a soldered-on board which got 4 pins on one and 3 pins on the other side. Similar to this one. The one in the link seems to have only 1 RF out while my MD725 seems to have 2 antenna connectors. Might weell be that one is for BT and one for Wifi and the one on Ali is WiFi only.

Picture of my board here.

However I had a look at pictures I took from the KLD board. On the edge of the board where the ST MCU sits (behind the FM can) I see a pinheader with 11 solder points which is unequipped. Also the surrounding passive components seem to be all equipped. The module you refer to seem to have a 10-Pin interface.

I do have another unit with WQ_BC5 bluetooth (which also works on Android 10) where a very similar pinheader is equipped with a Bluetooth module. The module however does not look identical to the one you linked but it might work. Also on this board the 11-Pin header is used while the first pin (which is "crossed" by silkscreen) is not used.

A couple of things are not fully clear to me:

I guess nobody will know if the pinheader is actually connected to the MCU unless it's equipped.

Any clue what type the module is? The chip looks like Realtek RTL8761___ which might be an RTL8761ATV. As I see it's got an UART interface it might be pretty standard.

Will the module eventually conflict with the built-in BT module in MD725? Likely not as I guess the USB-connected bluetooth part of MD725 will simply not be used if another BT module is selected in factory settings.

I might end up just ordering one and solder it to my board and then having to try all BT modules in factory settings in order to find the matching one.
[MTCD Hardware Development] marchnz:
Yes, the header is correct, unless the header is for DTV like my unit.

In my case, I dont have the BT header, what I would do is wire according to the schematic. Probably easier said than done, but doable.
[MTCD Hardware Development] SkyBeam2048:
I have no clue how this would look like.

Well, I guess there is no schematic included in the ali offering. Neither for my unit. So I will likely have to follow some traces. Or just solder it and watch out for some magic smoke.

However I believe the pinout is likely always the same on those units. Same as for those USB daughterboard modules (see my other link). However here at least the boards are usually labelling the pins.

I actually ordered one of these modules and will have a look. Perhaps soldering it into my bench unit first (replacing the WQ_BC5 module). If no magic smoke escapes I can search for the correct module type in factory settings and then solder it to my car unit.

Well, to be honest I am quite OK currently with HAL Android 9 on my car unit so I will see when I got time to try this.
[MTCD Hardware Development] Psychotonikum:
Could it really be that easy?

View attachment 5202851

Anybody with an similar board? Pins are located between radio module and MD725.

The scematics provided by marchnz do point me more to DAB and TV instead of Bluetooth.
[MTCD Hardware Development] marchnz:
Can you take a hires pic of at least half the board in that section. I can check against the schematic.
[MTCD Hardware Development] Psychotonikum:
Attached Files to Post #7. If it's not good enought I will make a full dissasembly and also have a look on the backside.
[MTCD Hardware Development] Hancock88:
Hello guys! In my case can i do something to upgrade the Bluetooth and wifi module MD725 (RTL8723BU) ?

My unit is a dasaita px5 HA 4gb ram.

ThanksView attachment 5228329
[MTCD Hardware Development] marchnz:
Are you sure your RTL is providing BT? The board, bottom of pic, right hand, vertically mounted looks to be your BT module. Can you try get some detailed pics of that board?

Also, what is the BT type set to in factory settings?
[MTCD Hardware Development] Hancock88:
I don’t see nothing else except top vertically mounted what i guess is radio module..
[MTCD Hardware Development] Hancock88:
This is the bottom right side what you ask and photo from my unitView attachment 5228941View attachment 5228943View attachment 5228943
[MTCD Hardware Development] marchnz:
Looks to the the tuner. You could look into adapting from the schematic, not impossible but difficult.
[MTCD Hardware Development] Hancock88:
I think i will forget this mod and stay with what i have because my motherboard is older and I don't have a separate bluetooth tracing or slot, I saw that down in the corner I have 10 pins to connect something but I don't have any schematic to know if I can stick a newer bluetooth card there. My motherboard is a Intel HA-SOFIA 2016-11-01
[MTCD Hardware Development] janusz12561@gmail.com:
Hello Can I install this module on this board?

cześć

Czy mogę zainstalować ten moduł na tej płycie?
[MTCD Hardware Development] marchnz:
Very difficult to know from that image. Try checking against the witson MTCD schematic (in my sig) which has the BT schematics.
[MTCD Hardware Development] marchnz:
Yes, that looks to be the BT connector - that's lucky.

Check the witson schematic in my signature.

Moje radio jest typu GS
[MTCD Hardware Development] SkyBeam2048:
I did receive the module today. Unfortunately the pin descriptions do not fully match to what I can see on my bench unit. My Car unit does not have any pin descriptions on the silkscreen at all.

Bench Unit Bluetooth Module pin descriptions:

x -BLED
---RST
---SDA
---SCL
---GND
---VDD
---MIC-
---MIC+
---SGND
---LOUT
---ROUT
x--PIO10

The first and last pin do not seem to be connected.

And here the pin descriptions on Aliexpress module.

Aliexpress module pin descriptions:

---RST
---RX
---TX
---GND
---5V
---AGND
---NC
---GND
---CTS
---RTS

Basically the first pins (RST, SDA/SCL/GND/5V) might match but the second part of my bench unit WQ_BC5 seems to be some audio interface (MIC-, MIC+, SGND, LOUT, ROUT) while the Aliexpress module provides some potential serial interface (GNC, CTS, RTS).

I guess I will have to check some schmatics before. Perhaps my car unit is wired differently too.

Thanks LiviuE, I appreaciate your help.

I understand I have to weld the RF210 to J11 connector and then the 3 wires you mentioned from the diagram.

For welding RF210 in the J11 there is any specific position required?

Thanks again
[MTCD Hardware Development] LiviuE:
Yes
[MTCD Hardware Development] delnaval1:
Sorry but I can install RF module in two possible positions, which one is correct?. Thx
[MTCD Hardware Development] LiviuE:
I mounted it with the writing inside
[MTCD Hardware Development] delnaval1:
Ok, I will do the same. Thanks
[MTCD Hardware Development] delnaval1:
Just finished installation of RF210 BT module by following the instructions of LiviuE ( thanks so much!)

I am attaching some photos of how installation looks, wires are:

+5V => red (pin 1)

TX => green (pin 26)

RX => blue (pin 27)

Bluetooth is working now !!!
[MTCD Hardware Development] delnaval1:
I am using Android 10 version HA_px5_ota(220401).zip but have found several problems with it:

- Sometimes after switching off the car, radio is not working and need to restart

- Wifi is detecting many available networks but after selecting one and introducing password it never connects

- Phone works via Bluetooth but cannot get the Contacts

I would like to use a different A10 version that works fine in my radio, any suggestion?

Thanks
[MTCD Hardware Development] LiviuE:
I don't know what to say... try to reinstall the ROM.

With the contacts I think you need to enter in phone settings at Bluetooth and then at CAR-KIT settings and approve all permissions... at some phone you need to approve permission to share contacts or something like that
[MTCD Hardware Development] delnaval1:
I am using the same ROM as you, but not using Android 10 by Hal9K instead I am using Android 10 version HA3_px5_10.0.

Is it Hal9k Android 10 working fine for you?
[MTCD Hardware Development] LiviuE:
Hal9k it's have some bugs but I don't have your problems
[MTCD Hardware Development] delnaval1:
Do you have the standard (free) Hal9k mod? Are you satisfied with it?
[MTCD Hardware Development] LiviuE:
I have paid version and it's working good but that bugs that I have it's kinda annoying sometimes
[MTCD Hardware Development] delnaval1:
Finally I installed Android 10 version HC7 10.0, and everything is working perfect now!!!

Wifi is working and bluetooth too, and system seems to work much faster!!!

I am very happy, thanks a lot for your help
[MTCD Hardware Development] Egeli:
I think it is impossible to install the RF210 BT module :(
[MTCD Hardware Development] Jevago:
this diagram applies to PX6 ?
[MTCD Hardware Development] LiviuE:
I don't know.
[MTCD Hardware Development] marchnz:
Is it mtcd type
[MTCD Hardware Development] Jevago:
mtce
[MTCD Hardware Development] marchnz:
So yes

I also have MTCE_XRC_V3.01. I'm trying to upgrade to MTCE_HA_V3.78. In step 2 I inserted the flash drive with dmcu.img and dmcu.cfg . I click update MCU, the system says that there will be a reboot for the update and after it turns off and I see a black screen with no signs of life. I waited about 10 minutes, then forcibly rebooted. MCU has not been updated. I tried to do the same by throwing only dmcu.img on the USB flash drive. The result is the same. Have you encountered such a problem?
[MTCD Hardware Development] LiviuE:
No. I didn't have any problem when I changed the MCU
[MTCD Hardware Development] kasall7:
Today i updated mcu from xrc 3.01 to ha 3.78.i have px5 android 8 HU, BW124 module is on the way to me. Had 2 problems wheel buttons and buttons on the HU stopped working.flashing of dmcu.cfg did not help.wheel buttons started working after changing in factory sttings canbus 3-4 times to different canbus type(i have toyota).HU buttons can be set in hardware key study. Now all ok,waiting for bt module delivery.

Hi community,

I updated my head unit from A7 to A9. My bluetooth module works fine. The only problem is the inbuilt microphone and I have not an extern microphone.

Friends always tell me that they hear me from a distance and audio noise while using the inbuilt microphone of my head unit.

Do you think an upgrade of my bluetooth module MD725 to RF210 could fix this issue? Or is there a possibilty to hook up an external microphone / replace the inbuilt microphone to my mainboard?
[MTCD Hardware Development] typos1:
Just plug an external mic into the back and see if it improves.
[MTCD Hardware Development] IzentAlp:
Thx for the quick reply. Where exactly?
[MTCD Hardware Development] typos1:
The is a loom that plugs into one of the rectangular white sockets to the right of the antenna sockets, the mic in plug is on there.
[MTCD Hardware Development] phazei:
Interesting. The first person was able to connect the RF210 board directly without extra wires, but the other case it was necessary to connect to the SOC pins in addition to everything else? Are these two different boards, they look similar. I'm already on A10, and I just got my RF210 in the mail, waiting on my soldering kit to arrive in a couple days. Sure hope I can get BT working again. I have a picture of my board from long ago, I didn't take a great picture though, but I think it matches those ones.
[MTCD Hardware Development] phazei:
Success! So, my RF210 was slightly different than the other one I saw soldered on here. It had one missing pin, RST, so I just ignored that put it on, switched BT to RF210, rebooted, and my phone connected in A10, YAY!

Here's some pics.

I'm not great at soldering, was worried it might not work and redid a few pins a bunch of times, but all good first try :D
[MTCD Hardware Development] dudds123:
I removed my md725 and installed the rf210 board but the Bluetooth connection is very inconsistent. I'm always able to pair but over half the time I won't be able to connect? When I can connect it works amazing including Bluetooth tethering, calling, and music. Rebooting does not resolve the issue, I tried changing to not allow the unit to sleep and it now performs a full reboot after 30 seconds of shutting down my vehicle. Rebooting from recovery doesn't help nor does shutting down the vehicle and forcing a restart that way. Even changing the board selection in the factory settings then setting it back doesn't seem to help. Think it might be cold weather related but even if I do a full reboot after the vehicle is warm it doesn't fix it.

I have an XRC MCU that I changed to HA?...I think, I've done alot to this thing... to resolve the Bluetooth quality issues I was having. While using XRC I still had these issues and hoped the HA MCU would help. I have also performed the fix for wifi/Bluetooth cold weather issues using the tasker usb reboot procedure. I'm running the latest hal9k on android 10.

Update: I was able to get it working consistently by clearing the storage in the Bluetooth app. Would probably have worked if I had just cleared cache but I started with storage so lost my contacts but it seems to be working.
[MTCD Hardware Development] dudds123:
-i had issues where the radio wouldn't work if I had it start on boot. If you're running hal9k check your settings.
