[FYT Android Head Units] T3chX:
Bought a M7 Plus from Aliexpress recently and installed it. Work well but theres a few things I want to fix/change and was wondering if anyone knew how to.

1. Menu screen top right window - I can see with the m6 you could choose the app you wanted to display on the front. Can you do the same with the M7 cause I hate google maps and want to use waze.

2. USB Apple Carplay - Unable to get Car Link to connect via USB carplay. Wireless Carplay works but is slow and laggy. Tried multiple cables and multiple phones that I know work with USB carplay on other infotainment systems.

Other than those 2 things it's been a great head unit so far. Also wondering if there might be newer firmware to fix this as I saw someone else in the forum post firmware for the device but the download is no longer active.

TIA

Does anyone know how to hard reset the 7870 M7 unit from Mekede? Mine has touch issues where I can only touch the home, back and switch app button, the main area lost it's touch function. I've tried putting 5 fingers on the screen to reset touch but it didnt work neither it let me calibrate the touch. I'm trying to factory reset with the hardware reset button, can anyone teach me?
[FYT Android Head Units] trav_y:
Me too, installed a front camera through the cvbs in, rc cables option, but the camera shows the right side on The left and the left side on the right. This was same as back camera but in the options I found how to swap the reverce camera around, but can't find it for front camera. And would anyone know the developer options 4 digit code for mekede M7
[FYT Android Head Units] Never_Lucky:
It should be 7870. If that doesn't work try 3368.
[FYT Android Head Units] trav_y:
3368 is factory setting , but I'll try 7870 cause I keep getting restricted settings come up when I try give permissions to car launcher pro. Thanks
[FYT Android Head Units] brodzik:
Some frames sold with 9.5-inch M7 units are too small. Specifically, the frame is smaller than the screen, causing the bottom of the screen to be covered. This makes anything displayed at the bottom of the screen inaccessible and untouchable.

DUDU has acknowledged this issue and released an update to fix it: FIX

Does anyone know if a similar fix is available for M7 units?
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
I wouldn't hold my breath long waiting on Mekede developing a solution.

I had more development done on my Dudu7 in the 1st 3 days of ownership than I have in 3 years owning a Mekede.

Here's a fix you can implement yourself. Simply adjust the bottom margin by a few pixels or whatever is necessary for your particular frame.
[FYT Android Head Units] brodzik:
Wow, thanks. There are 4 values in there, would you happen to know which one is for the bottom of the screen?
[FYT Android Head Units] brodzik:
Found it! The order is as follows:

Left / Top / Right / Bottom
[FYT Android Head Units] brodzik:
Developer options is password locked on my M7 Plus. So far I tried

3368

7788

7890

126

8888

0000

1234

9999

None of the above works, it must be 4 digits, any idea what it might be? I wanted to enable debugging and have a general look
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
7870
[FYT Android Head Units] brodzik:
I have added the following to the config.txt and flashed it

sys.lsec.overscan_rect = 0 0 0 100

Unnfortunately it made no difference whatsoever, am I doing something wrong?
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
Unfortunately it seems Google removed the overscan command from Android 11 onwards.

I had no idea when I suggested this to you.

So it only works on 7862 Android 10 units.
[FYT Android Head Units] gordgelin:
try this one

sys.lsec.d_offset=0 0 0 100

but 100 looks like way to much. there probably will be some side effects even if it works
[FYT Android Head Units] brodzik:
So I tried this

sys.lsec.d_offset=45 45 45 45

Just to see if it will make any difference but unfortunatelly no change whatsoever again
[FYT Android Head Units] brodzik:
Since Dudu has a feature to reduce the screen size, I wonder if obtaining a config.txt file from an updated Dudu device would reveal a command to enable this feature on the M7.
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
It does not.

Using the Dudu7 feature to reduce the screen size makes no changes to the config.txt in use.
[FYT Android Head Units] brodzik:
I finally got command that allows screen size manipulation on the M7 units

persist.lsec.d_offset=0 0 0 0

The order has now changed it's not Left / Top / Right / Bottom, I just know that second digit is bottom.
[FYT Android Head Units] gordgelin:
yes this also was available on 7862 systems and is just persistant version of sys.lsec.d_offset=0 0 0 0

if one works other should work too. strange that they removed one but not the other
[General Questions and Answers] Cayman_1944:
I flashed TWRP on my samsung J5 2015 FN and then i flashed Lineage OS 18.1 unofficial build. After that when i tried booting into TWRP my phone boots into stock odin mode. I tried flashing TWRP again but it keeps booting into stock recovery. Is there any way to fix it? I need TWRP to root my phone.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
TWRP itself isn't strictly necessary for rooting an Android device.
[General Questions and Answers] Cayman_1944:
I know but I want flash SuperSu and use it for backups and also I want flash custom kernel as well
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
The LOS 18.1 unofficial is Android 11. Flashing SuperSU on an Android 11 device isn't recommended. Here's why:

SuperSU is Outdated: SuperSU was a popular root management tool for older versions of Android (pre-Lollipop). However, its development has ceased, and it's not compatible with the security changes introduced in Android versions like 11.

Magisk is the Preferred Option: For Android 11 and higher, Magisk is the preferred tool for managing root access. It utilizes a systemless approach that grants root privileges without modifying core system partitions, making it more secure and compatible with modern Android versions.

Here's a breakdown of the key points:

SuperSU:

Outdated and incompatible with Android 11

May cause security vulnerabilities

Magisk:

Recommended tool for root management on Android 11

More secure due to systemless approach

Actively developed and maintained
[General Questions and Answers] Cayman_1944:
thanks for explaining it was really helpfull, now i know why it didnt work but i still dont know why TWRP disappears even after flashing it again.

Hello

I never installed a UV screen protector before, but the 12 has only this solution as glass protector.

Are there different quality?

I saw some creepy videos showing how nearly impossible it's to take out the screen protector because of the glue, how was your experience?
[OnePlus 12] oddlyspaced:
I had a OnePlus 9 Pro. I used to apply glass-like plastic UV screen protectors multiplied times. Applying them was a slight hassle considering the glue almost always seeped out from some point when pressing the glass. They also got bubbles trapped in it very easily. With time corners and rounded edges would start peeling off. If you want that kind of thick plastic protection then it's probably worth the hassle, otherwise would not recommend it. I'm currently using the stock protector, on my OnePlus 12 and planning to change it with a better quality film one at some point.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Guides, News, & Discussion] mvikrant97:
ATTENTION:

This is only for advanced users.

Tools:

You can use Chimera Tool for free to put the device into Firehose mode and then do operations like factory reset or remove FRP and lot other things.

Entering EDL (Emergency Download Mode) on your Samsung S20 FE 5G allows for advanced operations on the device, but it should be done with caution as it can potentially cause further issues if not done correctly. Here are some of the things you might be able to do with EDL mode:

Flashing firmware: This could involve installing a new operating system, updating the current one, or restoring the phone to factory settings.

Repairing software issues: If your phone is experiencing boot loops, freezes, or other software problems, EDL mode might be used to flash a fresh firmware and fix the issue but you need to have the Qfil compatible firmware. This can fix dead boot repairs for device where even download mode is not accessible.

Unlocking the bootloader: This allows for installing custom ROMs or rooting the device, but it can also void your warranty and potentially expose your phone to security risks. ()

Bypass FRP (Factory Reset Protection): This can be helpful if you forgot your Google account credentials but be aware that FRP bypass is often against the terms of service and can be risky.

Important things to remember:

Entering EDL mode typically requires a specialized EDL cable and software which may not be readily available or easy to use.

If you're not comfortable with these procedures, it's best to seek help from a professional technician.

Make sure you understand the risks involved before proceeding, as entering EDL mode incorrectly could damage your phone.

Here are some resources that you might find helpful:

There are video tutorials available online that can guide you through the process of entering EDL mode on the Samsung S20 FE 5G YouTube: [search how to put samsung s20 fe 5g in edl mode on Youtube] Be sure to choose a reputable source and follow the instructions carefully.

Remember, interfering with your phone's software can be risky. If you're unsure or uncomfortable, it's always best to consult a professional.

Good morning. Let's see if someone can guide me with the problem of FM tuning on the famous Chinese radios.

I have changed the original radio of my MV W447 for a Junsun X7 Max. Everything works perfectly for me except the FM tunes which leave something to be desired. I bought the typical amplifier that they sell for €5 on Aliexpress and it improved somewhat, but it's not like before.

Reading on the internet I found out that Mercedes usually come with an amplifier and I started to look more closely.

Behind the radio I have this device:

I connected the radio antenna and these two cables "were left over"

Here I put a detailed photo of how it is assembled as standard:

And I think this white connector also has something to do with it, the outgoing cable goes to the front of the glove box, but I have no idea because I'm screwed about this.

I had read that this module, when you remove the radio that comes with the car, you have to give it "power" for it to be valid, so you would have that FM signal that you had before again.

And now the million dollar question, how can it be done? The two cables that I "left over" in the assembly that the serial radio had, what are they really for? The radio is an Alpine one that the Van brought me.

I hope you can help me

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Prawnuczek:
Hi,

on my S24 ultra despite the fact that auto brightness and adaptive colors are switched off my screen (especially when it is on for longer than 2-3 minutes) starts to regulate brightness by it selves, nothing helps then - even when I am trying to change brightness manually nothing is happening - screen is darker then I want, and wont become brighter till phone wont be swiched to AOD for 1-2 minutes. Is there any way to push maximum brightness for all the time when screen is on?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] derausgewanderte:
One possible explanation could be overheating. I have this both with the Pixel 8 Pro and the S24 Ultra. Just a few minutes outside, the screen goes to maximum brightness in the sun, but then dims within 5-10 minutes. When I touch the screen I realize that it is very warm and probably self regulates by dimming. The behavior is the same as yours, no matter what I try, it won't go brighter unless I turn the screen off for a while.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] sosimple:
It's completely ok the way it works. Screen can go very bright, but it's an oled. If it keeps this brightness for much time it will get burn in (destroy). Same happens to oled tv, tablets, anything. If a screen goes very bright, this is much more noticeable.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] GMonkey82:
Hello everyone,

About a month ago, one day I noticed that my watch stopped connecting to my phone (Pocophone F1 no rooted). When I checked at the bluetooth connections I saw how the mobile detected the watch but it was in a loop trying to reconnect without success.

I tried to find out what was causing the error, whether it was a problem with the devices, an update, etc. but I had no idea. I factory reset the watch, uninstalled Samsung Wear and the plugin and when I reinstalled everything connected fine again. The problem was that as soon as the bluetooth stopped for any reason (charging, turning off the mobile, etc.) the problem returned.

Then I remembered that a few weeks before I did an android update (on Crdroid), so I decided to change Rom in case that was the problem. I formatted the phone and put Lineage on it. The problem disappeared for a few weeks but now it's back. A few days ago I updated the phone again so I don't know if that's the problem. Still, I don't understand how one thing is related to the other. Maybe something is going on in the back that makes Samsung Wear and the plugin break no matter how much I uninstall and reinstall them.

Anybody who can figure out what's going on and how to fix it? Right now I will have to format the phone again (with all that implies) not knowing if that will be the solution and afraid to update anything.

Thanks for your help!
