This is the further development of my Mod v1.x based on Android 5.
Thanks graviton.no for the equipment provided for development.
Nougat for ALL RK3188/PX3.
You can install this firmware on your radio, if in Settings > About machine >
The model starts with px3
The Android version starts with 7.1.
The chip version starts with MTCD or MTCE. Then there can be any letters, two, three, four - it does not matter.
Machine status example:

The MCU version starts with MTCD or MTCE. Then there can be any letters, two, three, four - it does not matter.
The Android version starts with 5.1.
The Build number starts with rk3188.
Version info example:
Also, to restore the radio, if something goes wrong, you should be able enter the recovery.
The main advantages and trends of development of this mod:
New features.
Correction of existing errors and imperfections of the stock.
Best responsiveness in comparison of the stock + the ability for the user to improve this indicator.
The customizability. All critical changes made on my taste, you can customize for yourself or do as it was in the stock.
All changes made directly in application code without the use of Xposed framework for best perfomance.
Stability.
The stock design.
The first boot takes less than one minute.
When switching from any other firmware or from version 1.x, user data is cleared automatically!
If you are upgrading from a previous version of 2.x, you do not need to wipe. But it is recommended if any problems arise. Especially if you used microG in the previous version.
If you install without wiping the data on top of the previous version, the first boot may take several minutes. Depends on the number of third-party applications.
But be sure to go to "Mod settings" to apply the default settings.
After installing or updating the firmware, the HU will reboot one more time to complete the installation of Magisk.
How to install the firmware ?
Extract the nupdate.img file from the archive to the root of the USB flash drive or SD card. It must be formatted in FAT32.
Take out all the other flash drives, SD cards, modems and other devices from the radio jacks.
Insert the USB flash drive into the USB connector of the radio. It is desirable to use the connector in which it is defined as USB1 (can be seen, for example, in the player).
Or SD-card - in the GPS slot.
The radio will prompt "Firmware Updating".
Click "Install".
In addition, you can install the firmware through the System update in Settings.
Or through the recovery.
If you have an old version of the MCU, I highly recommend upgrading to the current version.
MTCE MCU can be installed instead of MTCD. (make sure the letters of the current MCU matches the one you flash!)

Improved screensaver:
Made displaying covers for most third-party players and radio station icons for PCRADIO app.
For correct work, I recommend adding your players to the "List of applications that should not work simultaneously".
Made displaying recommendations when driving along a route for Yandex.Navigator, Yandex.Maps, Google Maps, Sygic GPS Navigation & Maps.
Made displaying temperature from Yandex.Weather, if the data on the temperature does not come from the CAN-adapter.
Now the screensaver is correctly displayed in 800x480.
While the screensaver is running, the stock volume control is no longer shown.
Added pop-up messages from BT Music and third-party media players. Third-party media players must be added to the appropriate list.
Added a list of applications that will work in immersive mode (full screen).
Made a separate list of navigation using TTS
Added the ability to assign the last launched navigation to the Navi button (to switch between navigation and player, for example).
By popular demand added custom parking lines. Thanks for Incognito+
Magisk updated to v18.1, Viper4Android updated to v2.7
Added new button codes to replace
OEM launchers with widgets can now be installed just all at once.
Much work has been done to ensure support for new basic firmware, although this is not visible from the outside.
Old versions
Version 2.4
Moved to the new base firmware from October 2018.
In exchange for SuperSU, another root (Magisk) is preinstalled. Do not update.
You can install additional modules to extend the functionality.
Added ability to edit the list of applications in the carousel that are switched with the Mode button.
Added the ability to replace applications that run instead of stock. You can have your radio button launch PCRadio etc.
Added speed dependant volume control.
Added color selection in the HCT screensaver.
Fixed bug with ringtone selection.
A new screensaver has been added that displays the time and date, information from most third-party players (not just regular ones), the volume level, the speed, and the temperature if this data is available.
To display the temperature you need a CAN adapter.
It is possible to customize the appearance of the screensaver: colors, background image, the maximum value for the speed indicator.
Added the ability to replace the codes of buttons located on the steering wheel and the front panel.
You can configure the actions that are performed when you press the buttons on the steering wheel, even if they are connected via a CAN adapter.
Added the ability to select a group of radio stations.
If you are traveling to another locality where other radio stations operate, you can select a different group and tune in the stations again.
And having come home, choose the default group again and your settings will be restored.
Added a list of applications that have access to USB-devices. It allows you to get rid of the annoying request for access.
For fans of Taskers, the ability to assign numbers 1-9, 0, and the characters * and # to the steering buttons is added.
Intent = "com.microntek.report.event"
Extra "type" = "key"
Extra "value" = button code.
The name of the artist was added to the pop-up message from Music, and the frequency from the message from Radio.
Added an equalizer call for a long tap to the on-screen button of presets in Music.
The checkbox "Switching folders in Music with buttons on the steering wheel" is removed, since now the buttons on the steering wheel can be customized.
Replaced sysinit system - scripts in init.d are now executed in parallel.
Updated microG to latest version.
A short press on the on-screen power button now turns on the selected screensaver.
Added MTCDialer application for calls from third-party applications.
The Google app now calls via MTCDialer without additional settings.
You can muffle music by navigation application that play voice prompts through a speech synthesizer.
To use, you need to add the application to the "List of navigational applications that muffle other sounds" and select "Text-to-speech engine that muffle other sounds"
Replaced icons in the regular launcher and in the status bar.
Added the ability to call System UI Tuner from Mod Settings.
Added the ability to replace new button codes for a joystick in a Mazda car.
Other minor changes aimed at improving stability and usability.
Version 2.3
Moved to the new base firmware from April 2018.
Made a list of applications that allow the screen saver to be started.
You can add a third-party launcher or player to it, for example.
Added the ability to switch tracks in third-party players using the steering wheel buttons for owners of CAN-adapters for Mercedes cars, etc.
Made a list of applications that are restarted after sleep.
I included the PCRadio application in it. Now it always starts playback correctly after exiting sleep, if it was started when HU go to sleep.
In PCRadio's settings, you must enable the "Resume playback when application starts" switch. Also it is necessary to remove it from the whitelist if it was added to it.
Editing the whitelist now does not require a restart of the HU.
Added a volume control in the style typical for AV equipment from the 7floor module
Added the ability to display the volume control at the top, middle or bottom of the screen.
Added the ability to adjust the time during which the volume control remains on the screen after changing the volume value.
Has been made a list of applications that should not work simultaneously.
This list is an extension of the corresponding system list.
If one of the applications included in this list is launched, then the rest are closed.
That is, for example, if you include the same PCRadio, then it will close when you start the stock Music or Radio. And vice versa.
Added the ability to move the statusbar to the bottom of the screen. (Experimental option.)
Changed the logic of the name request for the button of the stored radio station.
If the name for the stored frequency is not specified earlier, text from the RDS is suggested.
Other changes aimed at improving stability.
Version 2.2.1 OTA-package
Added the ability to disable switching folders in the Music by the buttons on the steering wheel.
Fixed interface display for 800x480 resolution.
Version 2.2
In audioplayer added a jump to the previous / next folder on the seekdown / seekup steering wheel buttons and a on the long tap to the prev / next screen buttons.
Added folder name display to the pop-up message when switching between folders.
Made a list of navigational apps that muffle other sounds when playing voice prompts.
The list should include all navigation applications, including the one that is set by default to the Navi button.
Added application F-Droid for automatic update microG.
Added the ability to hide storage icons in the statusbar.
Updated the time zones to version 2018d.
After updating without a wipe, make sure that the time zone is set correctly.
Other changes, to improve stability.
Version 2.1
Moved to the new base firmware from February 2018.
The possibility of OTA-updates is added.
Added the ability to lock device as a regular Android device.
The lock is turned on after rebooting or exiting from sleep.
You can also turn on the lock after the Android screensaver has triggered or manually from the shutdown menu.
Sorting in alphabetical order of all lists in players is done.
Added pop-up messages showing information about the current radio station and music file. It is possible to set the font size and the duration of the messages.
The audio player goes to the next folder in the list after the playing the last file in the current folder in the sequential play mode.
Added a request for a name for the button of the stored radio station.
Added the ability to choose from eight screensavers. Pictures here.
Added the ability to turn off the full-screen keyboard.
Added the ability to turn off the restarting applications that worked before going to sleep.
In the application "Wheelkey Study" added actions "turn off the screen backlight", "recent applications" and "F-Cam application".
In third-party applications preinstalled "sound improver" ViPER4Android.
In the OEM added 5 launchers and their widgets (AY, HCT2, HCT3, KGL, ZH). Selection of the launcher after installation is made as usual, by pressing the Home button, as in the phone.
Unfortunately, Android 7 does not allow third-party applications to automatically create widgets.
Therefore we do this:
Install widgets and launcher APKs. Add any widget and give permission (see Screenshot).
Then remove the launcher and install it again. Or clear the launcher's data.
In the folder with the launcher HCT2 added weather from vitarkananda. Works only with this launcher.
Other changes, to improve stability.
Ideas of some improvements are taken from the module xposed-mtce-utils and other modules with the permission of the author, MVG-V70. For which I thank him very much.
But they are implemented without using the Xposed framework.
Version 2.0
All interface changes are also made for screen resolution 800x480.
The firmware is completely re-odexed with optimization for the px3 processor.
The Mod settings are made in a separate application, also available from the "Extra settings" in the Settings app.

Synchronization of Contacts and Calendar is added.
Time Zones updated to the latest version.
The built-in Contacts application is enabled.
Allowed to install applications not from the Play Market.

So I apologize if this is a stupid question, but I'm still learning these units. Will this absolutely not work on an rk3066? I know it specifically states rk3188, but I've read that the two CPUs can be swapped internally without issue, so in my mind it seems that any ROMs for one are compatible with the other. I'm sure it's more complicated than that, but I figured I'd ask.
I'm using Malaysk's rom at the moment, but I'd like to have working Daydream. Thanks.

I do not have a rk3066, so I can not check.
If you are sure, then you can check it yourself.

No, it will not - the RK3066 is MTCB/C only, this thread is in the MTCD forum, for your unit you need to read the MTCB forum.
The latest Android version RK3066 units can run is KitKat.

@Hal9k_ - I ve installed your test Nougat ROM on several 1Gb RK3188/PX3 devices and the only way it will work is if the bootable SD card is removed AS SOON as "Nougat" appears on the screen, then it will boot into Nougat recovery. If this is not done then it will say "error" on screen and will not install the update, it took me hours to figure this out !
Or have you made a change so the card does not have to be ejected straight away ?

Yes I did, I only ever use that option, pretty sure one other user had the problem as well, we both couldnt get it to work for days, then I managed to by ejecting the sd card as soon as "Nougat" appeared on screen.
I thought the whole point of using sd firmware tools was to make a Lollipop unit boot into Nougat recovery ?
I have an RK3368/PX5 now, but I will be installing this on a friend's Lollipop unit later, I ll make a new bootable sd card with your new ROM, maybe it wont happen with the new version ?
I ll let you know how I get on.
You only have a 2Gb RK3188/PX3 SoM now ?
Youve sold your 1Gb RK3188/PX3 SoM ?
(Starts to think of ways to get Hal9k_ to make a version of his amazing ROM for the RK3368/PX5 . . . . )

2 2Gb SoMs !! ?? You should sell one and get an RK3368/PX5 SoM too, so you have one of each !
Yes, there can be no mistake that its a ROM thread now.
You could put "Nougat for ALL RK3188/PX3" units somewhere in the title too ? It would attract more users - no one can tell from the title at the moment that it is Nougat for all PX3 devices at the moment.
Sorry to keep criticising your thread title, I just want as many people to use your ROM as possible.

There is one indisputable advantage: I can finally use what I have done.
And I can think of something new in the process of everyday use.

Has anyone looked at TWEAKSTER for TREO. Seems quite nice but as I dont know anything about a TREO, maybe someone can port it to Der Kaiser?
http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=139811
"MortScript: Tweakster, BETA available
I know NOTHING about MortScript (have just started reading) so I hope that some of the The Mort Kings are here in Der Kaiser World and will give it a shot..
I cannot get the plugins to work, but main script seems fine..
"The Mort Virgin" =
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cool new app available for you Treo power-users!!
Tweakster has three major functions:
1) Scheduling : create profiles & schedule events (33 plugins included)
2) Tweaks : applying tweaks (97 tweaks included)
3) Probes : retrieve system info (44 probes included)
Here are some examples of what you can do...
- Set up profiles for your favorite settings
- Change ringtones at 9:00 Mon-Fri to one set of ringtones, and
evenings and weekends to a different set of ringtones
- Soft Reset at 3:00 AM every day
- Turn Bluetooth & Wifi on at 8:00 AM, Mon - Fri
- Clear you IE cache every night at 2:00 AM
- Turn Brightness up, but keyboard lights off at 7:00 AM
- Check an eBay auction every 15 minutes, display current bid on Today Screen
- Set a storage alert when your builtin flash storage drops below 1MB
- Leave yourself a Voice reminder for lunch at 11:45
- NEW: Use your Treo as a SpyCam, schedule a video recording in "stealth" mode"

That DOES sound pretty cool. I would imagine one of the skilled artisans here in the Kaiser world could take that and make it work.

Screenshot's?

The link is broken in the first post. You copied and pasted the abbreviated hyperlink
It would help your cause if you gave the working link

For those that are interested, here is ALOT more detail on Tweakster.
1.0 PLUGIN DETAILS
The plugins included are fairly simple in nature and intended to showcase what you
"can" do with Tweakster. Some of them are very useful, others are sorta lame, all of
them could be improved upon. By all means, I hope others will either improve upon this
or add to this collection to make it more useful.
Audio Play - Plays an audio file, currently scans the "\Windows" directory looking for
sound files. This can be changed by modifying AudioPlay.input.
Backup Folder - Will periodically zip up a folder and save the zip file in the specified
target directory. Currently these are specified via BackupFolder.ini
under [settings]. You can also configure how many backups to keep in the
target directory, in order to limit the number of backups, at which point
it will remove the oldest backup as it creates a new one. Note this is
not intended as a full-backup solution, please use one of the fine products
available for that. This is intended for periodic backup of notes, saved
text messages, etc.
Auto Dialer - Will call a number at the specified time. It cannot do much else because
I can't control sound while the call is connected, so it's only useful
as a wakeup call. Although one clever user added that this could be for
for voting on Americal Idol. Please use responsibly This requires
VJDialer from VJPhoneTools.
Battery Alert - Will alert you if battery drops below a certain percentage. Allows you to
set a higher threshold than the default of 10%, if you want to know sooner
rather than later.
Bluetooth Off - Does what it says, requires VJVolubilis.
Bluetooth On - Does what it says, requires VJVolubilis.
Brightness - Allows you to alter the brightness level. Note, even though the control
panel lets you set the brightness level to 0, this plugin will NOT allow
that setting because once it exits the control panel you would have no way
of figuring out how to put it back!!
Cleanup - Allows you to selectively clear the IECache, \Temp directory, or
\My Documents\temp directories.
Clear Call History - Does what it says, wipes out your call history.
Clock Radio - Sorty cheesy plugin, but cool at the same time. If you don't like the
techy alarms and prefer something more traditional, this may be for you.
It allows you to select a radio station (I preloaded a few, which you can
change by modifying ClockRadio.ini), and it wakes you up at the specified
time displaying a full-screen analog clock. The clock has an "exit" button,
and if you tap on the clockface, it will snooze for 10 minutes. This requires
an internet connection to work, so don't even bother if you don't have a
reliable connection.
Ebay Auction - Specify an ebay listing number, and it will display the current bid and
time remaining at the chosen interval in a message box.
Flash - Will flash the keyboard lights multiple times to get your attention. May be
useful if you want a visual alert, rather than an audible alert.
Keylight Off - Does what it says.
Keylight On - Does what it says.
Launcher - Launches an application or file is there is an associated handler with that
file type. You can type in file path and the arguments at the time of
configuration, or if configure Launcher.ini, it will take the file and
arguments from there. Note, there is a bug in MortScript that if you
bring up the "Alt" keys to select a "\", once you quit that it will send
a return key to Mortscript and you will never be able to type in the path!
Use the on-screen keyboard instead.
Memory Alert - Allows you to set a free memory threshold and once free memory dips below
that, it will bring up an alert notifying you. Note, this is not a real-time
memory monitor, it only checks when the plugin is scheduled. i.e.) every
15 minutes or whatever interval you choose.
Message Box - Type in some text, and a message box with that text will show up as a reminder
at the specified time.
NoDoze - Will keep the phone awake at the specified time, for the specified amount of
time, battery be damned. Use sparingly.
Note Reminder - Will bring up notepad and let you type in a note, or if you prefer you can
scribble your note, and it will bring it up at the scheduled time.
PhoneRadio Off- Does what it says, requires VJVolubilis.
PhoneRadio On - Does what it says, requires VJVolubilis.
Ringer Volume - Does what it says, speaker volume is set independently.
Ring Tones - Allows you to set the "known caller" ringtone, and the "unknown caller"
ringtones at the specified time. It will check the following directories:
\Windows, \Windows\Rings, and \My Documents\Rings. It has a limit of 96
files and it can be slow to bring up the selection dialog depending on how
many files there are, please be patient.
Soft Reset - Schedule a reboot at the specified time. There is a "cancel" message, that
will allow you up to 60 seconds to cancel before it reboots.
Speaker Volume- Does what it says, ringer volume is set independently.
Note, there is no "Call Volume" plugin yet.
Spy Cam - Schedule a video recording. You specify the number of minutes to record
and you Treo will automatically create a video recording. If you specify
"stealth" mode, the Treo screen will remain blank and appear to be off
when the recording takes place. If you have LEDup installed (another 3rd
party app), it will give you the option of blinking the green LED while
it is recording. Please make sure you have specified the "Storage Card"
as your save location in the camera app, otherwise you will run out of
storage very quickly. You will also need to disable Keyguard for this
plugin. And finally, another caveat is that there is no recorded audio
while in stealth mode, this is a bug that will hopefully be fixed soon.
As with the Autodialer plugin, please use responsibly
Stock Quote - Allows you to specify a space-separated list of stock symbols and will bring
up a message box with stock quotes at the scheduled interval. Currently
these must be specified at the time you configure the plugin, not from the
.ini file.
Storage Alert - Allows you to set a free storage threshold and once free storage dips below
that, it will bring up an alert notifying you. Note, this is not a real-time
storage monitor, it only checks when the plugin is scheduled. i.e.) every
15 minutes or whatever interval you choose. You can set thresholds for
builtin flash or a storage card.
Today Line - Display a short message on the Today screen by hijacking the Operator/Carrier
Name. You can choose from the following:
News Headline
Stock Quote
Weather Forecast
Battery Status
Storage Status
Memory Status
eBay Auction
Note, because of the limited amount of space, the amount of information that
can be displayed is minimal. Once again, this is not real-time, it is updated
as often at the plugin is scheduled. There is a lot of room for improvement
here, such as cycling through the various options.
Vibrate - Does what it says, nothing else.
Voice Reminder- Starts up notepad in recording mode and will let you record a voice note.
It will play the message at the specified time.
Wifi Off - Does what it says, requires VJVolubilis.
Wifi On - Does what it says, requires VJVolubilis.

Hi Martindhk and others,
Tweakster works fine on the Kaiser, just tested many of the tweaks.
Personally I don't like the Mortscript interface, but the tweaks and features of Tweakster might make it better than for instance KaiserTweak or Schaps AdvancedConfig, which both contain similar, other or the same tweaks as Tweakster...I guess someone is going to have to work through all applications and make one
Regards,
Nika.

I agree on your point. Have tried some of the plugins and they seem to work. Could be cool with a nice interface towards the plugin part and the possibility to address them to buttons instead of a schedule

maybe you could post how to actually use the application? thanks

From the "readme"
INSTALLING TWEAKSTER:
Unfortunately, there is no CAB installer yet, you will have to manually
install Tweakster. The following steps should get you up and running:
1) Install MortScript 4.0
http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=download&action=view&entry=65
Note, please make sure you install 4.0 and not 4.01 since there are still
compatibility issues in 4.01 that Mort is working on.
2) Install Tweakster
- Unzip the Tweakster_v1.0_BETArXX.zip file on your PC. Copy the entire
"Tweakster" folder to your Treo under "\Program Files".
(Note: It can be installed anywhere if you prefer elsewhere, but please
install it on built-in flash memory rather than the storage card to
minimize any issues.)
- If you want Tweakster to show up under "Programs" from the Start Menu,
you will need to create a shortcut to "\Program Files\Tweakster\Tweakster.mscr"
and place the shortcut under "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"
3) Install VJ utilities.
These utilities allow you to set bluetooth, wifi and phone state,
as well as use the Autodialer plugin. They aren't strictly required but
are recommended, especially if you intend on using Tweakster profiles.
VJVolubilis: http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJVolubilis
VJPhoneTools: http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJPhoneTools
For now, they must be installed in the default location.
Both MortScript and the VJ utilities are lightweight, stable and very well
tested. These applications are donation-ware, but if you feel these apps are
useful, you can visit the author's site and make a contribution.
4) To start up Tweakster, select "\Program Files\Tweakster\Tweakster.mscr" with
the file browser of your choice, or if you made a shortcut in the Programs
Folder, select the shortcut you place there..
PLUGINS:
For more information on the scheduling plugins and what they do, please see
"PLUGIN DETAILS" in the Details.txt attachment. If you want to know how to create
your own plugins, you can take a look at the example plugin scripts in the Templates
folder of Tweakster.
TWEAKS:
In general, you should use precautions when applying tweaks. This goes for
ANY tweaking program, you should make sure you have a full backup of your Treo
and have a backup of your registry before you start trying out tweaks. Some of
the tweaks require a soft-reset, so if the tweak is not immediately effective,
you may need to reboot. If you are not completely sure what the tweak does,
please do some research on the internet. Most of these tweaks are widely known
and you can find information on them at the following locations:

also, i dont see a "readme" file or details.txt file in the attachment or post.

SRY - was not part of first post..
Here it is..
The thing is that I cannot get the plugins to work. Tried to SPYCAM - ooohhh - but nope, it needs to be tweaked to fit our device, I guess...

Hi. I was able to get the plugins to work to a certain extent. However I have into two problems in using this script and wonder if anyone might be able to directed me to the solution.
1) When I run a profile of my settings, the program tells me - Error: Script file not found: ". (Quotation mark is the script file not found) It proceeds to run the script I selected from Vjay555 folder anyway after I acknowledge the error message. I tried to look for an extra quotation mark in the Tweakster script (I don't think it is the plugin script that is causing the problem), but I can't make heads or tails of it.
2) When I run the -radioon script, it will turn on my phone radio, but it will not connect to my wireless provider. I'm not sure what that would be the case. If I use the Comm Manager or if I use Battery Status taskbar to turn off the phone and turn it back on again, I will get the phone to connect to my wireless provider.
Can someone help me figure out how to work out these problems? Thanks.
UPDATE: I tried the scripts that were in the plug in folder and found that the scripts were causing the first error reading. The more troubling finding was that VJVolubilis may not work for my phone (8125) as described on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=255911&highlight=VJVolubilis.
What a bummer. Any suggestions on a fix? Thanks.

Hi C
Did you find any solutions?

No solutions, but I have a hint to one of the problems. I installed PPC Profiles Pro from Modaco.com and PocketZenPhone and got the same problem with the lack of network connection when the phone radio is toggled back on. This may suggest that the problem is with the Wizard or with WM5. I don't know how to solve that problem.

Did you get any succes with the other plugins??

Haven't wanted to pay for one if one was available for free. If I can get help in fixing the radio toggle problem, then I'll be happy with PPC Profiles Pro. I'm tempted to try Phone Alarm or PocketZenPhone 6.0 (the version I tried was version 4.5.1), but I had read some bad stuff that happened to other users phones with this program (while others liked it).

help me
any way to reset all my tweaks?

PocketZenPhone 6.02 works on my 8125. I don't know what is different between the two versions that allows it to work. If I can't get an answer within the next few weeks, I'll probably purchase the program.

Hello,
Sorry for my english, try to be kind with a french geek
I thought it would be great to give to the community a tutorial step by step with pistures and screenshoots
Here is the method i used to open the tablet and flash the ROM when i "bricked" it while trying to activate Google accounts
This ROM is not really an update, i prefer asking it rescue ROM for bricked tablets.
"HOW TO FASH THE TABLET" - TUTORIAL in english :
docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=false&embedded=true &srcid=0B96pdh3MCBWgNDVjMjdiNTMtY2E2YS00ZWYzLThmYj ItN2U0ZmY3N2E0NDFh&authkey=COyCmKsH&hl=en

(copy link in your browser adress bar)
Unfortunately, the Android Market has been disabled due to too many issues. But alternativ markets have been installed to make your life easier ;-)
IMAGE FLASHING TOOL - it is still the same, but if you need it :
apad-france.fr/components/com_agora/img/members/268/usbit.zip
(copy link in your browser adress bar)
CHANGES
:
• Remove unneeded or Chinese apps (AppStore + HANDONAPP + Agpsstatus) which unnecessarily polluted the tablet memory.
• Enabling Google accounts
• GMAIL
• GOOGLE TALK
• MAPS: LATITUDE option functional (visibility of your Google contacts on the card)
• Alternative MARKETS: SlideME + APKTOR (very interesting market because of the possibility to add sites apps url to enhance the catalog of applications - for that Google search is my friend)
• Video Player: MPlayer (nicer than the original video app)
:
This is a "beta" version so are not fully functional:
• HARD RESET or restore to the factory datas. I did not yet managed to change the restore file, so if you HARD RESET tablet, you will restore all the craps from original firmware ... sorry ☹ So the only way to restore this custom ROM is to flash the tablet.
• Android Market: i can not keep system stability (I unfortunately am not computer) and the tablet "Brick" systematically. I decided not to install Google Market in this version. This will be the subject of the next version i hope☺
• Reccuring error message "closing framework ..." just click on" force quit ". No impact on the operating system running.
ON THE FIRST BOOT (Google account activation) :
• You see the the welcome message with ANDROID logo and the clicking hand (take the opportunity to change the language if necessary)
• Click the screen 4 corners in the direction of clockwise starting at the top left corner and going to the right
• Select "SetupWizard ..." in the selection list that appears
• You will be able to set up Google accounts - If you do not automatiicly enter Google accounts set up, go back to the desktop and select GMAIL.
• You can now enter your Google Account login (gmail address without extension "gmail.com") + password gmail
(If the wifi is off - back to the office with the small house at the top right of the screen. Go to Settings / WiFi / and select your WiFi network and enter the WEP key if your network it is protected. Once connected, return to the office and launch GMAIL)
Your Google account is activated
• SORFT RESET (paperclip in the small hole beside the plug in iPod) - the tablet reboots by itself
You often closing the message framework, but it's not important, go further by clicking on "force quit"
You can change synchronization settings (menu button) and also in the google accounts settings (phone settings: Account and synchonisation)
Have fun with this ROM !!!
If somebody wants to find the way of xternal miniSD or USB flashing it would be great !!

Thanks for the guide, very useful.
What type of problems are you having getting Market working? Does logcat show anything?
I have also had some issues to get it to run properly, as well as getting the Contact/Calendar sync running. Will try flashing your ROM.

http://www.shenit.com/utopia-apad-imx515-8-inch-android-2-2-tablet-freescale-arm-cortex-a8.html
Is that this device that you are operate with ?
I find that, the internal storage of /data really small, event Froyo 2.2 has Apps2SD, still not enough to me to install more apps, but given large 4G SD internal are there, just not making use if it.
Any easy script to relink them so can expand /data ?
thanks
James

Hello
Yes this is the tablet i'm working on
You can change memory allocation puting your system SD card in a miniSD card reader and changing partitions allocations with windows XP system tool (the one you use to change your HDD partitions allocations)
But now you can find a flashing external tool on a sd card sold by "androidtouchpc" website - You don't need my ROM anymore
Best regards

I notice that, during the boot of apad 2.2;
I push middle button + right side of button + power on.
I am getting a text mode selection menu, it has 5~6 selection.
-. reboot system now
-. update update.zip
-. update /system
-. update nandroid
-. update boot.img
-. wipe data
-. wipe cache partition
something like that.... since I am in the office, I need check it again from home to confirm.
In this case, will it be easlier doing update in this way ?
thanks
James

hello, as i said on my lats message, i will try to buy the restore tool on androidtouchpc and use it to make a custom ROM with auto restore on a SD card. So we will be able to flash the tablet automaticly using the EXTERNAL sd cadr reader

I am curious...
What's the point of opening the Ipad? you did'nt include in your instructions how to flash the ROM

The flashing tool from Androidtouchpc is already available on Slatedroid in the Cortex A8 forum.
It will not work with your download ROM as yours is a disc image and the flashing tool works via an update image.
If you would like PM me and I will try and help you.

To : Jefflyonfr,
you USB tool not able to resize from image to a larger SD card, 8 or 16GB. Do you know any tool can resize Android partition ?

Shaking problem solution is available here , on slatedroid forum in english :
slatedroid.com/index.php?topic=12192.msg99436;topicseen#msg99436
The post explaines something like that :
"The problem (for me anyway) is a that touchscreen plate is being squashed or deformed by cheap ass top cover. It is causing lots of junk touches be generated when you press it because of the warps in the plastic. That is why it works so much better when the cover is off. Its a noisy touchscreen but you can get it back down to "acceptable" levels for the touch driver's sample averaging algorithm to handle.
This is nothing to do with EMI or any fancy electrical stuff.. just crap design and workmanship quality.
This is a (and I mean relatively.. ) easy fix by adding a shim under the edges of touchscreen so there is little or no pressure on the screen itself and/or shaving off some plastic off the stand where the LCD screen sits. You need to make sure that the touch screen is not warped or twisted in any way. If you have ever tried to mod an EEEPC netbook with a third party touch screen, then you would know what I mean. mmm.. I'm guess not many of you guys here have. "
or here, on Apad-France forum in french :

Good luck !

Enhanced app2EXT】 【
Firmware 2.2 is to support a major character app2sd, that is, we say that the 2.2 native app2fat, this app2sd do not need to partition SD card, software is directly installed in the sd card fat32 partition, over a period of time, that means a lot of problems this app2sd such as with a small plug-in SD card after uninstalling the software will appear lost and some on the phone with the installation of too many problems. Meanwhile, the app2 sd is not enabled by default, so you need open, pm setInstallLocation 2 is the command. 2.2 native app2sd open after the 2.2 firmware for the support of the software comes with app2sd way, in the phone settings - applications - go to SD card operations; do not support 2.2 native app2sd set in the option is gray, because you have installed the software does not support the 2.2 firmware native app2sd!
So now this ROM uses the app2EXT enhanced way, that is, we say that the enhanced app2sd and the like, this approach is to partition on the SD card, it is the need for EXT partitions, partition recovery is now basically on the conditions inside. Software is directly installed in the EXT partition SD card, so after unloading a small plug-in SD card will not go away, install the software automatically installed in most of the EXT partition SD card, of course, there are very few parts to be installed in the phone The. At the same time, this process is automatic, you do not have manual!
For EXT partition, open the app2EXT friends can set in CM - Application Location - Install location - choose internal storage, so apk SD card directly installed in the EXT partition! The SD card does not directly maintain the district's friends in the automatic installation location!
SD card partition method:
1 SD card data backup!
2, mobile phones have root access to recovery, select the Partition Sdcard
3, recognized the district, then in this step, not the words of a direct jump-step direct partition: Select repair SD: ext, and then select Partition SD, swap = 0 EXT = 0 remains at by the optical lever confirmed by dividing the area after the , restart the phone to
recovery mode, the PC again as FAT32 formatted SD card format, and check the capacity of SD card (make sure to delete partition), this step is to remove the card in fact, the process has been partitioned
4, reboot again into the recovery, select the Partition SdcardSD card normal partition, swap = 96 ~ 128, EXT2 = 256 ~ 1024 (preferably not more than 1G, 3 84, sufficient), EXT2 to EXT3 (Do not upgrade to EXT4., Now The ROM support is not
Good) This step is the process of partition SD card, the new card can perform this step.
5, if you want to experience date2ext, can be partitioned swap = 0, ext = 1024, fat = remaining, into the system to store into phone memory. (Do not intend to do so date2ext the partition)

Apparently the CM 6.2 was released for HTC glacier /Mytouch 4G only.
It was present on cyanogen forum but has been taken off from there as well.
The CM 6.2 for DS ..so far no reliable source mentions its existence.

It does not exist, Cyanogen hasn't even completed 2.3 for dream/sapphire yet. But then again his Gingerbread source isnt even up yet.

6.2 would not be 2.3, it would be 2.2 7.0 would be 2.3

Hello to all
Too many people don't have enough posts to post on my rom's thread.
So i decided to created a new thread in general!
Here you can post your problems or ask something you dont understand for the flashing process etc.
Will be posted flashing info and known flashing problems here soon.
So feel free to post your question, or report a bug!
1. How to flash Kyrillos' rom?
- Instructions: Here
2. I just flashed Kyrillos' rom and after flashing the phone bootloops (it plays the same boot sound again and again).
- You havent done a Wipe data/factory reset in Recovery mode. Remove the battery & re-insert it, go into recovery mode (Vol up + Vol down + home + power), and select the Wipe data/factory reset option. Click yes, and reboot.
3. The phone booted but my sd partition isnt working. What should i do?
- Firstly you have to ensure that you put the Hybrid Data2SD files in your sdcard. They are contained in v8.0 rom you downloaded. You can also download them from here. You must put the four files (data2sd.dirs, fs.data2sd, multiosdata, multiosdata.cache) in /sdcard/Android/data/G3mod/*. Then reboot your phone and your partition should work.
4. I partitioned my sdcard but i dont see the free sdcard (a2sd) space in Titanium Backup.
- Hybrid Data2SD doesnt show up in Titanium Backup. Its normal Fixed
5. After restoring my backup with Titanium Backup, i dont see all my apps in Android Market.
- Go in Titanium Backup, find Android Market and wipe Android Market's data. Reboot your phone, and it should be ok.
6. I have too much lag!
- Make sure that you dont have more than 50 User Apps installed in your phone.
- Go in titanium and do a batch operation: Move all apps to internal memory
- If you have a linux-swap partition in your sdcard, delete it.
- Go in Settings/Sound and disable all Feedback sounds (leave the haptic feedback checked if you want )
7. I have battery drain issue.
- Let the battery calibrate itself and after 3-4 days recheck if the problem remains.
- If your problem isn't fixed and you have installed the Overclocked version, install Setcpu and change the governor to OnDemand or Conservative. You can try to Undervolt/Underclock the cpu too. You should make a screen off profile (83min - 400max) too.
- If SetCPU is not used, in OC version, CPU frequency is at stable 800MHz, on performance, so there MUST be a battery draining^^
So, SetCPU is absolute nesassary to be installed and set up. Best working governour is ondemand, if it laggs, drop up threshold in advanced to lower level.
8. What are the best settings for setcpu? [Updated 25/10/11]
- Main tab: Min 83Mhz, Max 800-1200MHz, Scaling: Ondemand (or Conservative), Set on boot: Tick
- Profiles tab: Set on boot: tick
- Profile (1): In call: 83min, 400max, Scaling: Ondemand, Priority:100
- Profile (2): Time profile: 1AM - 7AM (here put the time you sleep), min/max 83MHz, Scaling: Powersave, Priority: 99
- Profile (3): Screen off: 83min, 400max, Scaling: Ondemand, Priority:98
- Voltages: Try -100mV in all frequencies from 500-1200. If it hangs, try -75mV/-50mV, apply, set on boot: tick
9. How to enable v6 supercharger?
- Go in Terminal Emulator, type "su" hit [enter] (you may see a superuser popup, press "Allow", then type "v6_supercharger" hit [enter]
- Choose scrolling speed "2".
- It will ask you if you want intergration with init.rc, choose yes (press Y).
- It will ask you if the home is locked in memory, choose no (Press whatever you want except Y)
- When you see this: Please enter option 1-30, enter 2
- Let the rest of the text scroll through. When script finishes, press the home button, then press the power button and reboot the phone.
- For best results, go in recovery and wipe dalvik-cache and cache.
Note: You must re-enabled v6_supercharger after kyrillos' rom updates!
10. I have a partition in my sdcard and each time i try to install an app from market, the phone just reboots!
- This could be a corrupted filesystem problem. Make a backup d repartition your sd.
- Wipe data/factory reset.
11. I really miss some removed apps. Where can i find them & how to install them?
- You can find any app you want in this thread [By Dharam]
- To install an app, you must put it in /system/app/. There are many ways to do that.
- a) Copy the app you want to install in your sdcard. Use an app, which called root explorer. Open it, find the app you want, copy it, navigate to /system/app/, press the Mount R/W button on the top-right of your screen once, the click paste. Reboot your phone.
- b) You must know how to use adb. adb push appname.apk /system/app/
12. Kies isn't working.
- I highly recommend you to stop using Kies and start using Titanium Backup!
- Anyway, to get it working you must download this and this app and put it in /system/app/
13. How much left data space is normal to have after i install Kyrillos' rom?
- If you dont have partition in your sdcard: ~112MB
- If you have partition in your sdcard: ~150+MB
14. Gps isn't working.
- The gps in our phone isnt the best. I did try to make it better and for many users i did succeed.
15. I have partition in my sdcard but internal storage is still 200MB instead of eg. 1200MB (if partition => 1GB)
- Its normal. Your partition works as it should, but its not full data2sd, and thats the reason that it doesnt show 1200MB.
16. One of my apps cant start because it detects that i have adblock on my phone.
- Download Adfree Android from Android Market, open it and click "Revert"
17. When i sent messages in Arabic it displays ??? ? ? ???? ??? ???
- Go in messaging settings => Input Mode: and change it to Automatic or Unicode
18. I want to set an mp3 file as ringtone or notification sound. What should i do?
- Make a "media" folder in your sdcard. Inside it make an "audio" folder and then make a "ringtones" or "notifications" folder and place the mp3. Reboot and select it from settings
19. The order of the messages is fu**ed up. How to fix it?
- Go to Settings => Date and Time. Untick "Automatic" and et the correct Time Zone!
20. Sometimes i see squares instead of letters.
- It happens because the Ubuntu font. Download android fonts from v9.0_extras if you cant live with it
21. What about themes? How can i know if a theme is compatible with kyrillos rom?
- Firstly, you have to check it it supports nine lockscreen. (If it doesnt, contact the developer of the theme and ask him to enable his theme 9 lockscreen support)
- You can replace any if the theme files EXCEPT: Settings.apk, android.policy.jar, framework.jar, services.jar. If you do replace any if those, your phone will bootloop.
- Enjoy the theme
22. What is Chainfire3D? How to configure it? (Use version v2.8)
- Info: Chainfire3D is an intermediary OpenGL driver. What does that mean? It means that Chainfire3D sits between your apps and the graphics drivers, and can intercept and/or change commands between the two. It has some built-in functions, and can be further extended with plugins to provide extra functionality. (More info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087427)
- With Kyrillos' rom v9 + Chainfire3D you can play some 3d games, or play some games better than before & without white textures.
- Chainfire3D installation: Ensure that you have Kyrillos' rom v9 OC. Download Chainfire3D Free or Chainfire3D Pro, run it, accept the su permissions. Press "CF3D driver", and then press "Install". The phone will reboot in a few seconds/minutes.
- Plugin installation: When it boots up, download the plugins (search for Chainfire3D plugins on google. Plugins: libGLEMU_NVIDIA.so, libGLEMU_POWERVR.so, libGLEMU_QUALCOMM.so), put the in your sdcard and open the app. Press "Install Plugins and Shaders". The app will search your phone to see if there is any plugin available in your sd. Install all the three plugins. Go back to the main app menu.
- Configure Chainfire3D: In the main app menu, press "Default OpelGL settings". Select the option "Reduce texture quality", and then choose plugin by pressing "Use plugin". There are 3 choices: Powervr, Qualcomm & Nvidia.
- Test the plugins: Select the "Powervr" plugin and run the game you want. Run it for a minute. Then close the game and change the plugin to "Qualcomm" and run the game for a minute. Compare which plugin worked best (if it worked) and enjoy the game. Note: Nvidia games require Nvidia plugin.
23. Most of the apps are being installed in sdcard instead of internal/partition. How can i change the default app install location to internal?
- Open terminal amulator
- Type:
su (enter)
pm setInstallLocation 1 (enter)
- Done [Info: 0 (Auto), 1 (Internal), 2 (External). You can see the current state by typing "pm getInstallLocation".]
24. How to convert my sdext partition from ext3 to ext4?
- Download KMapp from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301697
- Install it and run it. Accept the superuser permissions and press the menu button. Select "Filesystem Conversion". Scroll down and select Sdext => ext4 and click "Convert".
25. What is Mobile Tracker and how to set it up? (Highly recommended // Enabled it in case you lose your phone) (for Kyrillos rom v9.4+)
- The Samsung Galaxy 3 comes with a mobile tracker software by default which is not activated, as you need to register your phone and account with the Samsung online website. Only then the option works and your phone goes more safer, as the Mobile tracker is one of the best options to use when your phone is stolen or lost.
The Samsung Dive mobile tracker is something that helps you remotely work on your phone when it is stolen. The online website of its helps you in remotely swiping the phone and delete delete your private data. Though this service is not available in India, a few features of its work, like prompt SMS sending when the phone is used with any new SIM than that which was used to register with the mobile tracker. The app also helps in getting the location information of the phone.
- How to set it up (source):
α. Go to Applications => Settings section in the phone. Select Location and Security tab in it.
β. Scroll down in the menu in Location and Security, and you will see a section for Mobile tracker. Here you need to hit the “Set Mobile Tracker” option which will set the mobile tracker recipient and control the remote phone that is activated. It will take you through the process of registration and set-up of the mobile tracker.
γ. The first thing you need to set is the mobile tracker password which would be asked to you or anyone who changes the SIM in the phone. It has to be of 8 digits and all numeric characters in it. You need to remember this password for always, as it can get your phone locked if you forget it and type the wrong password multiple times.
δ. After you set the password, you need to add recipients to whom the phone sends an SMS from the new SIM to notify/alert them about the changes made in the phone.
ε. Set the information of the sender, i.e. the Sender name and the message to be sent to the recipient. And then agree to the terms.
στ. Login through your Samsung account, and if you have not registered to it, you can do that for free online by registering the product. And then you would be directed to the mobile tracker settings where you can change any recipient or make changes in the samsung account.
ζ. After everything is setup, go back to the Settings section, and into the Location and Security section. There you have to check the “Mobile Tracker” option, so that it is activated.
Note: If at all you have reset your phone through the factory reset option, all the information in the Mobile tracker is lost. You need to set it all over again.
- Now if you lose your phone or somebody stole it, you can track it and/or lock it and/or wipe all your private data in SamsungDive.

I flashed your version of ROM directly from DDJP2 with the hope that camera bug would go,and the facebook touchsite would open. But even your rom has the same thing. So i changed to the european version new release XWJPF. And its pretty stable an i can bet its boots alot faster than any of the custom rom or even offcial ROM.
Anyway is there any solution.
1)The camera bug. YOu cant click a photo unless you get a fix on location or disable the location settings.
2)Facebook touchsite wont open like it use to open in eclair. DDJP6. And when you open facebook it shows GT-I5510.
Please fix this.

Does swap makes a diffrence in perfomance?How about sd'd life is it decreased from the constant read-write?

Linux-Swap
What is SWAP?
Swap space is an auxiliary storage, such as a portion of a hard-disk, which can be used as memory by the operating system when system RAM is insufficient. This is especially useful on systems with very little system RAM, such as most DD-WRT compatible routers, as it helps prevent the system from running out of memory when multiple background processes are installed.
Swap is rarely used, and if you have a high class sd you may see more responsive phone.

So in a class 2 SD swap should not be used.

But a class 4 is OK, isn't it?

thx for this thread. Reading for a long time, but i never made a post, because its not possible on the other thread.
Using the non OC 4.1, b/c i had freezes with the OC version. But the normal version is ok for me.
@kyrillos
I tried every rom available here and yours by far the best. thx for the great work

The "gt 5510" issue is Facebook's problem, not Kyrillos's or Samsungs problem. This does not affect anything, other phones are detected falsely, too. Facebook divided phones to groups and the most ubiquotous phone is shown. This only serves for offering you the correct version of Facebook app. This is a non issue.
I never saw "the camera bug", is this present only in India?

i mean when ever i open facebook touch site the mobile site opens. And is there any solution for the camera bug???
Every time i click a photo i have to wait for a lock or have to disable the location.

My camera was working perfect on Stock eclair DDJG6. But after upgraing i am having this prblm. My camera is working perfect but if the location is enabled and if i dont have lock on my position my camera would force close if a click a photo. But if its turned off it works flawlessly. And in FROYO their isnt any option for turning off Geo-tagging.
And when i flashed kyrillos 4.1 i ddnt do any partition or anything i directly flashed it over DDJP2 by wiping cache. And i ddnt understand the procedure of the partitioning properly. I liked the ROM though.
Do you have any solution for this prblem..or a most stable ROM that doesnt have any prblm.
DDJG6>DDJP2>Kyrillos 4.1>XWJPF

tnx for thread.
I have v4.1 and i had some probs. 1st when using CoPilot and GPS. Phone was just turn off, and that happend 4 times :S. 2nd: Day before yesterday, phone just turned it self off, and i couldnt turn it on.
Everything else is OK, I have OC version and its great!
Also, can you put battery change by 1% in new version?

GPS problem flashing from Lestat 1.8 >> Kyrillos 4.1 fixed
Kryrillos,
Thanks for all these roms
Curruntly using 4.1 ultimate non OC.
4.1 OC just sometimes freezes even at 667 mhz.
Tried Lestat 1.8 alpha 14 is was very slow with reading sd card and also the phone reacts slow.
So decide to flash back to Kyrillos 4.1 non oc.
Everything works only GPS fix was not working.
After wipe cache / factory reset.
It is oke, gps fix in 30 sec or less.

can you do something about flash and 3d driver for next version ?

Facebook mobile site is supposed to open if you access Facebook trough browser. Facebook redirects you to the most appropriate version of the site for your device/browser. If you want the Facebook Touch experience, download the Facebook app - called Facebook Touch.

No flash, 2D and 3D graphics increased in v5.0

Currently there are 4 Xposed modules available for the FYT based Intel (Joying) Sofia 3GR Intel and (Joying) Rockchip PX5-A53 units.
GPSSpeedFix V1.12 (by lbdroid, not by me) (Changelog in post #3)
[*]XSofiaTweaker V1.26 (Global Xposed repository) DISCONTINUED
XFytTweaker V1.2.0 (Global Xposed repository)
SofiaServerNoKill V1.01 (Global Xposed repository)
SofiaServerCustomKeyMod V1.01 (Global Xposed repository) (Changelog in post #3)
All modules function on the Joying 6.0.1 stock ROMs (when rooted and with Xposed installed) or on the GTX custom ROMs (pre-rooted and pre-installed with Xposed)
Only the first module can *currently* be installed from my apk, as it is not my module. The other 3 my modules are avalaible on http://repo.xposed.info. The Xposed Installer on the unit can be used to install them.
GPSPeedFix: (stable)
This Xposed module is written by lbdroid. (lbdroids repository)
Since the Joying July 2017 ROMs, there is an error in the GPS Speed on the Sofia 3GR units. The GPS HAL in the Joying Sofia 3GR units uses integers instead of floats to calculate the meters/second. This give speed steps of 3.6 km/hr, or actually rounded to 3 or 4 km/hr steps. This Xposed module calculates the right GPS speed and feeds it back to the "system", so that all dependent apps like navigation apps or GPS trackers can use the correct speed. (require full reboot on installation/activation)
XFytTweaker: (Stable).
This is the successor module of the XSofiaServerTweaker, which on its turn was the successor of the SofiaServerCustommod (See Gustdens post).
The reason for the XFytTweaker was that actually any FYT based unit is running the same FYT/SYU software no matter whether it is an Intel Sofia or a Rockchip PX5. So after making the module suitable for Android 8.0.0, I changed the name.
captures the hardware keys from the Joying unit and allows you to reprogram them. This must/can be configured from the Settings (sub)screen.
allows you to switch on/off the nokill.
allows you to unmute channel 4, which is used for Google voice feedback.
can act on the ACC_ON, ACC_OFF and Resume events.
option to prevent the Bluetooth app from staying full screen on top (thanks to @gtxaspec)
option to prevent the CANbus overlays popping up on heat/airco change or door(s) opening
Option to run system calls as root (Know what you do!)
Option to display the CPU temperature in the status bar next to the time
option to disable the yellow MCU errors overlay (in case this happens to you) (thanks to @RoNeReR)
option to disable the overlay display of the volume bar on volume changes (the volume is always numerically displayed in the status bar)(thanks to @IG_Vasilich for pointing me to the right hook)
supports a usb dac where volume control will be rerouted to stock android volume control (thanks to @RoNeReR)
eliminates feedback during the call if you have OK Google anywhere enabled (thanks to @gtxaspec)
Translated into Spanish (tOz-666), German (mitchum67), Russian (gorlexx @ 4pda), Dutch. Help translate in your own language.
Big thanks to @gustden who analyzed which functions to hook (or directly mod in his case). Note that this module is extended with the EQ and Eject key (when applicable).
Below this post are some images attached from the XSofiaTweaker.
Changelog in post #3.
SofiaServerNoKill: (Stable)
This Xposed module skips the SofiaServer "kill all apps" when going to sleep. This should replace the old nokill mod from Gustden.
Note: Some apps prevent the unit from going into deep-sleep by setting a "wakelock". The old SofiaServer simply killed these apps. This module doesn't do that. The MCU detects the apps using the wakelock to keep the CPU awake and the MCU will completely switch off the unit, resulting in a cold-boot upon switching on the contact. That is not the fault of this module. It is the fault of these bad behaving apps.
Big thanks to @gustden who analyzed which functions to hook (or directly mod in his case)
SofiaServerCustomKeyMod: (Stable)
This is a direct "functionality" copy of Gustdens CustomKeymod, but then as an Xposed module.
This Xposed module captures the hardware keys from the Joying unit and allows you to reprogram them. This should replace the custom key mod from Gustden. It mimics the same behavior and therefore also needs a launcher.sh. In contradiction to the mods of Gustden, these Xposed modules do not touch the original SofiaServer binary and are therefore firmware version independent.
Big thanks to @gustden who analyzed which functions to hook (or directly mod in his case) and how to apply them in the launcher.sh script

XFytTweaker HowTo
(previously XSofiaTweaker)
Every button or event (acc_on/off) has a "Call method" and a "String to be used".
Currently there are 3 options to "start something" with the "Call method"
by package name
by intent (package name / intent)
by system call (terminal command(s) or script)
by package name: This is NOT the name of the apk but the internal package name. How do you get this "package name"?
Use the "List all Installed apps" option in the main screen of the settings. It shows the app icon, the app name and the package name. This package name is what you need. You can select it and copy & paste it into the field.
use the "Display my installed apps (with package name)" option from the JET apk from the top-left menu.
Search in play.google.com for the app you want to start. Say you want to start the navigation app "Magic Earth" and you have selected that one in the play store (in a browser, not the android app). In the address bar you will then see "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.generalmagic.magicearth". The bold part behind the "id=" is your package name.
by intent: Every app has a "launch" intent to start the app. Some apps can also be started with other intents to immediately start a specific function. Google Search can be started with the launch intent, but you can also start it with the Google Voice search option intent. The Google (Search) package name is "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox", the specific intent for google voice search is "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.VoiceSearchActivity". The combined "String to be used" is therefore "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.VoiceSearchActivity".
Another example is the Joying Bluetooth apk having intents for the dialer (default launch), the call receiver, the bluetooth streaming, the pairing and a few more.
by system call: A system call can be a direct (linux) command or a shell script or a binary (to do something).
= Commands can be a single command as in:
"ls -l > /sdcard/some_file.txt" to capture a directory listing to a file
"input keyevent 3" => Go to the Home screen (of the default launcher)
"am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -c android.intent.category.HOME" => Go to the Home screen (of the default launcher)
"input keyevent 127" => pause active media player (any media player)
"input key event 126" => (re)start last used media player.
"am start com.syu.radio/com.syu.radio.Launch" => Start the radio app with the default launch intent (or better use "by package name": com.syu.radio; Or use "by intent": com.syu.radio/com.syu.radio.Launch)
As you can see from the 2nd and 3rd example, there are multiple ways to do something.
From the 6th example you can see that you can start an app (the radio) from the command line with "am start <full intent>", or by package name, or by intent directly.
= A system call can also be a number of commands separated by a ";".
Say you want to pause the media player and switch of the leds, when switching of the contact (ACC_OFF event), you can use as "String to use"
Code:
input keyevent 127; echo -n "h" > /sys/fytver/colorled
Upon switching on your car, you might want to continue your media player and switch on your leds to green
Code:
input keyevent 126; echo -n "b" > /sys/fytver/colorled
Note that you need to separate the commands with a ";" (a semi-colon without the quotes). I have currently no idea how long the entire command can be but I assume some system standard like 255, or 1024 or 2048 or 32767 or 65535, but I advise to use a script anyway when it gets that long (see next point)
= A system call can also be a call to a shell script
Say you want to pause the active media player and switch off the leds (like the example above), you can also put these commands (and 2-200? more) in a script like:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
input keyevent 127
echo -n "h" > /sys/fytver/colorled
You copy that script to a location where you can give it the execute bit (necessary on linux), which means not the internal or any external sdcard, but for example /data. You need adb, a rooted terminal or a rooted file manager to do that. Give it the execute rights like "chmod 755 my_great_script.sh"
Multi-tap options (preferred method)
The XFytTweaker and previously the XSofiaTweaker (since v1.22) directly supports double-tap and triple-tap options for hardware and steering wheel buttons, thanks to @gtxaspec.
Simply assign a call option and call entry to the double-tap and triple-tap option. The default delay is 300 ms, but this is user configurable via the "tap delay" setting.
Using NoKill and experiencing cold boots
The NoKill module/option in XFytTweaker is NOT the cause of the cold boots! Bad behaving apps keeping the CPU awake by setting a "wake lock", thereby preventing the unit to go into deep-sleep, are the cause. They make the MCU shutdown the unit completely after about 20 minutes.
The original sofiaServer app simply kills everything, so no problem there.
Especially some GPS, tasker and media player apps are bad behaving apps holding a "wake lock".
You can completely, safely use the NoKill option, but you should find those bad behaving apps and get rid of them, or kill them on going into deep-sleep using the ACC_OFF event and start them again using the ACC_ON event.
To kill an app on going into deep-sleep and start it when coming out of deep-sleep, AND to pause any mediaplayer on going into deep sleep, you can for example use the ACC_OFF option with a "system call".
Code:
am force-stop com.waze; input keyevent 127
And in the ACC_ON command to restart waze (in this case) and restart any media player on coming out of deep sleep:
Code:
am start com.waze/.MainActivity; input keyevent 126
Multi-tap options (deprecated method)
The customkeymod from Gustden and my sofiaservercustomkeymod xposed module both use the launcher script that enables multi-tap options.
The XFytTweaker (previously XSofiaTweaker) does support that as well using a script approach by using a "by system call". But it is advised to use above mentioned method.
So lets say we want to capture the src/mode button and assign 3 apps to that by consecutive key-presses, and lets say we call our script "src_mode.sh"
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# Goto Home screen
home="input keyevent 3"
# my apps
app_no1="blah"
app_no2="blahblah"
app_no3="blahblahblah"
last=`cat /data/src_mode.cnt`
last=$((last+1))
case $last in
1)
echo $last > /data/src_mode.cnt
(sleep .7 && [ `cat /data/src_mode.cnt` = $last ] && echo 0 > /data/src_mode.cnt && ${app_no1} ) &
;;
2)
echo $last > /data/src_mode.cnt
(sleep .5 && [ `cat /data/src_mode.cnt` = $last ] && echo 0 > /data/src_mode.cnt && ${app_no2} ) &
;;
3)
echo 0 > /data/src_mode.cnt
${app_no3}
;;
*)
echo 0 > /data/src_mode.cnt
$home
;;
esac
;;
Save that script to /data as "src_mode.sh" (for example) and make it executable "chmod 755 src_mod.sh". Make the call method in the XFytTweaker "system call" and the string "/data/src_mod.sh"
Assign full launch intent calls to the ${app_no1} for your apps.
In case of google maps like
Code:
app_no1="am start com.google.android.apps.maps/com.google.android.maps.MapsActivity"
And use something more logical that "app_no1"
- Use an editor that can handle unix line ends/line feeds, so not notepad.
- Some of the "complaints" about the previous mods from gustden was the "delay". This was also caused by the multitap, as the scripts waits 0.7 seconds for the second tap, and 0.3 seconds for the 3rd tap. If you are a "fast tapper", you could reduce this to 0.5 and 0.3 (or 0.2) seconds.
(Will be further expanded)

For the customkeymod with launcher.sh "am start com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.VoiceSearchActivity"
For the XSofiaTweaker:
Use the "by intent (package name / intent)" with string "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.VoiceSearchActivity"
Alternative 1, but some milliseconds slower: "by broadcast" with string "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.VoiceSearchActivity"
Alternative 2, but some more miliseconds slower: "system call" with "am start com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.VoiceSearchActivity".
Somehow the "update on change" in the XSofiaTweaker does not work correctly (yet). It requires a soft boot from the Xposed installer (main page, "triple dot menu", soft boot")

No, it does not. You can currently install it from my apk, or use the Xposed Installer on the ROM (preferred) as the NoKill and Customkeymod are already there.
Note: you mention the "Sofia no kill fix". The GPSSpeedFix is fixed, not the NoKill.
That fixed GPSSpeedFix is not in the V5, and due to the fact that it is installed as a system app, you currently need to install it via adb or a rooted file manager.
You can temporarily download the "fixed" GPSSpeedFix from here.
It contains the fix and uses 3 samples instead of 5. This should reduce the lag somewhat.
Edit: My new apk will support the system/app install from the gpsspeedfix.

I found why it does not get updated. I use a broadcast to update (from the example), but I do not have a broadcast receiver. So now find a new example to implement that broadcast receiver

I tried installing Xposed on my rooted Joying Sofia JY-VL130N2 and ended up with a brick (stuck in Android boot logo).
My steps were:
1) Downloaded and installed XposedInstaller_3.1.5.apk from the official XDA page https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
2) Installed some "v89" thing (sorry, I am a newbie to Xposed)
3) Accepted the dialog which warns about soft-bricks and the app restarted the unit
4) Not starting up anymore. Stuck in Android's boot logo after its animations had played.
What was wrong?
EDIT by myself: I did not use the Superuser apk for Sofia as documented by you. Sorry for the noise.

Please be a bit more concrete.
Any package or "my" modules?
Did you already had the NoKill and/or CustomKeymod installed via my apk?
If so , first uninstall them as they are signed differently by the repo.
If it is a "fresh" install, then it is weird.

Fresh install I even tried clearing Xposed app data/cache and same issue. Downloads like 71kb and then errors out that package name is incorrect and that a different name was expected.
EDIT: I was also driving when I posted that, so I had to be short :silly:

manually via adb or a rooted file manager.
You can also install the latest nokill and customkeymod from my apk.
Probably this evening I will release my new JET apk also allowing you to overwrite/install the current, as system app installed, GPSSpeedFix in the gtx ROM.
And I will add my XSofiaTweaker to the apk. I need to do some final tests this afternoon.
I had done it wrong with my modules on the xposed repo, but I corrected that and they still give errors. Customkeymod still gives a package error.
The Nokill gives a 404 error and can't be downloaded. I really don't understand it.

if I install the Xposed modules with the version 40, I find you in Xposed not. with version 39 this worked. I use the GTX Rom.
