Hello,
today I would like to introduce application called MtcdMirroring. MtcdMirroring allows you to mirror and control your Android device by the Head Unit touchscreen.
Application is available on the Google Play Store: link
Application is an alternative to the Easyconnected app, but much more lightweigh and with support of the newest Android releases (Nougat). Right now application can mirror only Android devices.
Features:
* Realtime streaming of touch events allows you to control your Android device by a Head Unit touchscreen.
* Realtime streaming of your Android device screen.
* Forwarding of the Head Unit key presses and Steering Wheel key presses to your Android device (You can install MtcdTools on your Phone and control it like the Head Unit).
* Automatic streaming of the audio over Bluetooth A2DP.

How to use it?
1. Enable USB Debugging in developer settings on your Android device.
! Owners of Xiaomi devices must enable "USB debugging (Security Settings) as well.​2. Connect your Android device to the Head Unit via USB cable.
3. Accept "Allow USB debugging" when your Android device will prompt you
4. Click Connect to the device to start mirroring your Android device.
5. Explore Application Settings to customize your instance of the application.

great work as always!! i will certainly try it
Could you please share the apk here?
Great i was looking for an alternativ app.
Waiting for it to work with iOS devices.
Really slick and fast. Does not work properly on my Samsung s7 edge tho. If my screen is set to HD the mirrored image is a small section in top left. I have to go Quad HD, to get the screen to be mirrored and fill the screen but then the touch response is way off. I touch the screen and it presses about 2 cm's away

Could you please take a picture how does it look in case of HD? I could not test the app on all devices but maybe I will be able to fix it.
Edit: I think I know where the problem is. It looks like S7 has different aspect ratio than the HU. Tommorow or at Saturday I will try to prepare a fix.
Android 4 support?
I'm guessing head unit must be Android 5+? Shame if so as I think most head units on market are still 4+. Anything stopping support for v4 devices?

Yes, HU must be at least Android 5 (Lollipop). Lollipop introduced alot improvements for the codecs which are used in MtcdMirroring so I decided to limit it to API 21 and higher.

Attached pictures. Only WQHD (2560 x 1440) filled the entire screen but touch screen is way way off on all resolutions.
Thanks!
@Dec64, thank you very much for the pictures.
Also three short questions:
1. Could you please post here info about your HU (MTCD,MCU).
2. Resolution (1024x600,greater or smaller?) and screen size (7 inches, 10 inches)
3. In case of QHD, have you observed any touch malfunctions?
Thanks in advance.

It must be installed on the Head Unit.
I'm unable to use the software.
Head Unit: PX5 8-core A53 Cortex @ 1.5GHz, 2GB RAM, 32GB storage with KGL MCU
Phone: Nexus 6P with PureNexus ROM
I'm connecting my phone via one of the rear-mounted USB ports on the head unit (which appear to be USB host ports, rather than the OTG port on the front). When I connect and start your application, I'm able to connect briefly, getting a screen capture from my phone. However, within a fraction of a second, I get a message saying that the connection has been lost. Sometimes I am able to exit the application, but sometimes the entire system hangs. I do have Xposed installed, but the only plugin I'm running is AppSettings, and I don't have any settings configured for your application.
Is there anything you can suggest?
Great replacement for Easyconnected..
However it doesn't work on my case though. Screen cast fine, but touching is way off.
My HU has 1024x600 resolution, and my phone has 1920x1080.
Plus, if you can force the screen of the mobile to be landscape, it would be awesome
It did not work properly. Could you advise me anything?
Phone:XperiaZ4(marshmallow)
HU: Joying MTCB(RK3188-1024)
Thanks

It looks like a problem with the USB connection. Have you tried to connect the phone with different USB cable? Also maybe your phone needs more current than USB port can deliver. In developer you should be able to change USB connection type. By default it is MTP connection - try to change it to something like "charge only" and test.

Today I will post the update with some improvements of touchscreen size detection. I will let you know.

It is possible but it is quite risky . In case of any USB connection interruption MtcdMirroring would not be able to "undo" such settings and you would stay with the forced landscape orientation. I think you can try to find an application on the Play store which can force the screen orientation.
Someone Can share the apk?

@Dec64 @slumpz version 1.1.0 with improvements for detection of touchscreen resolution is now available on Google Play Store. Please check wheter the issues with touchscreen and hangup have been fixed and share the feedback. Thanks!
Hi anyone ever used android auto in Nex S? Google map cannot be shown on HU display, only a black screen. Anyone can help.?Thanks.
Hello everyone,
I'm just new to the forum and something is really bothering me.
I downloaded Android 11 on my Galaxy a51 device the other day and since then, whenever I tap on Mortal Kombat, it just blinks. It won't let me play the game.
I have tried so many things, but the only solution was to adjust the screen resolution to Full HD, but then the screen got significantly smaller since the phone isn't designed to handle this resolution, I guess.
Do you think something can be done about that?
Hi guys I'm new on here, i do apologise if i have posted on the wrong area , i have a Chinese 10.1 inch android SPRD head unit with android 10 installed. I have fallen out with the guy i bought it off as there was a lot of miss advertisements on advert which did not match when i got the unit.
However thats another story and wont get into it, what i want to know and if anyone can help me i will really appreciate it as iv tried everything and getting no where. So here are my problems :-
1, Upgrading android 10 to android 11.. there seems to be no menu that has the upgrade option, so how can i upgrade to android 11 or twelve? And How do i upgrade mcu version?
2, im having problems with GPS when car is on i loose gps signal to like half of one bar.. when car/ignition is turned off GPS comes alive and get good signal and catches satellites.. what does this happen? Whats the solution?
3, i cant change the icons on home screen, cant change/add on tool bar, no bluetooth button to turn on and off on bar on top of screen.. but blue tooth is there works fine when connecting phone and bluetooth icon shows on top bar when connected..
4, the android version seems very limited on this unit, even in developer settings there dont seem to be many adjustments options to turn on or off.. i have a meter display shows cars rom gauge and speedometer its all im KM and there is no options anywhere to change this..
5, system does not shut down when car ignition goes off, i have to manually shut it down, even tho in settings its set to shut down when acc off! Any suggestions?
I have attached pictures of GPS ignition off and one of ignition on.. also all the build software info pictures too..
Any help would be appreciated
1. There's is no upgrade to Android 11 or 12.
These FYT 7862 units only go as high as Android 10. That may change in the future (maybe not) but any that you see say Android 11 or 12 it is fake (like mine, fake Android 11).
2. Are you using a GPS receiver that you got with the head unit or are you using your cars original GPS sensor? Where is it placed? Need more info to answer this
3. I don't know what home screen launcher is installed on your unit so cannot answer. Some launchers cannot change the icons, some can. A photo of the home launcher might help.

1, thank you for clarifying
2, cars gps is connected as well as the external gps sensor. As it it dual system (can access cars original system as well as switch to android) cars gps on the car system works fine. The android gps is acting starnge, currently it is behind the dash right behind the head unit mounted on a metal plate top of antenna facing north…
3, i will up load picture shortly of my launcher screen
Thabk you

Thats my current launcher john
Update :- problem solved i moved the gps antenna and stuck it behind the head lining restarted system and voila its working now. I had it behind the dash and on top of dash but looks like too much interference for it to work there.
Good morning! new member here so please excuse if i make any misteps...
I recently got RGB lights for my 2020 Regal. I got the app installed on my phone and everything is/was great.
Then i realized the app wasn't available on android auto. Which surprised me since the product was specifically made for a car so i guess i kinda assumed i would be able to control the lights from the dash.
Does anyone know of any LED RBG light apps that work with android auto, or are their any geniouses here that could upgrade an existing app to be compatible with AA?
Thank you,
matt

Is unit an MTCD device? Post Android system information including MCU version
lights are: XK Glow Underglow + interior LED Accent Light Kits
"New Style 8x24" Tubes XKchrome Car S
KS-Car Standard"
my phone is a tmobile note 20 ultra
One UI version 5.1 & Android version 13
I assume MCU has something to do with the car. i don't know how to find that.
Thank you for your time and assistance!!
