Autorun apps at boot problem? - MTCD Android Head Units Q&A

How do you make an app autorun at boot?
I've tried many autorun apps, but as they won't autorun at boot themselves, it's a bit frustrating?

Did you try the mtcd tools apk ? I don't know what is different about it but it works ok on Oreo.

No I haven't. I'll give it a go, thanks.

I have the same problem!
Have you had any luck on the MTCD-Tools?
I wasn't able to set upp an action. Everytime I press the 'Add' button in the screen 'Manage Autostart' I get a Info-Message saying that the app is closed over and over again.

Same here, MyMtcservice and FCC Car Launcher not work autorun

I think you need to create a "Launch Action" first and this will show up in the "Manage Autostart" screen. Worked for me this way.

Anyone managed to get to system ui tuner?

The instructions to enable system ui tuner on the web don't appear to be working...holding down the sprocket on the toggle screen till it spins doesn't enable the menu...anyone else know how to get to it?
Also still looking for a way (non xposed) to assign long hold of back button to kill foreground app.
Should say system UI tuner added to settings after holding for about 5 seconds.

It should..I agree...thats what all the suggestions say and I can see the wheel spin....but it's not in the list. Are you saying it worked for you? If so I may need to go back to a fresh install and try this again.

For me also it worked.
I finally got the thing to appear and I'm still not certain how...I think marshmallow is much more picky about the touchscreen and the glass screen protector I have on it....taps are not being interpreted right all the time....anyway thanks for confirming. Ironically by the time I enabled the menu I had already enabled xposed and found ways to set all the things I woul d have been able to do from system ui.

Hi.
Same problem here - could you write down the steps you made so i can give it a try?
Thanks
there is a whitelist.ini file (that is of you coppied the MTC Manager files like Malaysk says to do) inside you can just write down the tasker process (net.dinglisch.android.taskerm). it will be kept alive during sleep
while you are there also add poweramp process (com.maxmpz.audioplayer) (that is if you are using poweramp)
that will make poweramp resume playing automatically when resuming from sleep.
anyone know how to do this without xposed? PX5 units doesn't have xposed support yet.
I haven't found a way. I've been through every APK in /system looking for the task killer, no luck at all

Hi,
I don't have a fix, but a short-cut. I've set a homescreen widget to launch a Tasker Task (which can just be a pop-up saying "Tasker is now running"), that way when I start up the unit it's one tap on the homescreen, Tasker loads, runs the task, and then remains in the background. This does save you opening the Tasker app and then backing out again.
This initial task can also be used to load up other items you'd rather have running all the time (I'm using Twilight and GMD Immersive) - if you do this it's worth putting in a slight delay between each (I've gone for 500 MS) and then launching the Home app as the last item to put you back where you were.
Ideally I'd want Tasker resuming after sleep, but until that's an option "one tap and it's there" will have to do.

Help "All apps associated with this action have been turned off, blocked....

Good Morning all:
I keep getting a notice that states "All apps associated with this action have been turned off, blocked or not installed" every time I go back to the home screen or when I depress the home button from the lockscreen. Another issue I have noticed is for my Microsoft OneDrive in my Playstore list. It said to Uninstall or Enable. I uninstalled it and now it only shows "Enable". I press "Enable" but it won't do anything. I went to the "Settings" then "Apps" and I changed the view to "Disabled" and nothing shows.
Any ideas on what I have done wrong.
Thanks for all your help.
Been using any Package disabler apps? Package Disabler Pro ?
Sounds like you've disabled something you shouldn't

Yep, and I can't for the life of me remember how to undo my mistake... I don't see any disabler in my apps list and this is what confuses me.
Problem solved, thanks to *Detection* jogging my memory.

What's the fix
After same problem (with diff app) with my S9, I FINALLY figured out what happened/how to fix. I had downloaded disabler AND an xml file that disabled bloatware/"unnecessary" system stuff listed therein. Turns out that the xml contained stuff that matters if you use smartwatch, some NFC, etc. Only I'd set disabler to *hide system files*, which was where I ultimately found/enabled solution. I ain't mad at the disabler (killed off those damned text stickers), just a humbler and wiser user. Good luck.
okay so I had disabled the cricket wifimanager and that cause my home button to be disabled

Question widgetupdatet and musicproxy

I can successfully run widgetupdatet and musicproxy on my uis7862 unit.
But I think i need to make it start at boot/wakeup and also make it not battery optimized
So for start at boot/wake up, i turn it on with User - application. But this make widgetupdater app show up everytime when unit boot up, which i prefer it to hidden
For battery optimized setting, I don't have battery option from my setting menu.
May I have your advice on this?
@KёniG
Thanks
Hello.
The newest firmware doesn't have battery settings. Install this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut and find "Settings suggestions". Launch it and type in the search field "Battery".

cool, thanks. Let me try this app on my unit for battery setup part
May I know how about the startup part, anyway I can make the app screen do not popup and make a more silent startup?
(for my firmware, I can make app startup automatically in settings -> user -> application settings
Thanks again
@KёniG
I've switched to paid version and turn on "silent start" seems it will just flash then go away which is good now.
However I don't find the way to open the app to change settings anymore (don't see the icon at notification menu) . need to wipe out the app data to get back to setting screen

My answer above is about silent start up.
If you have the restricted notification bar it is required to reinstall the app to enter settings. Silent mode is not appropriate way for you.

Thanks, so either I can still choose silent startup but need to reinstall app if i need to change settings
Or
I dont make it silent startup but i will see the setting screen everytime the unit starts?
and one last thing
After I use musicproxy+widgetupdater. When I use my wheel button - "mode" to change the source, it will go through radio, Phone, Bluetooth music, then my specified music player, then stopped if i press "mode" again. Originally, the next app is the map and then loop back to radio. Is it normal behaviour?
Thank you so much
Played a bit more, seems AIMP is working fine to loop the button cycle.
Your problem got solved?

silent startup still make the app no longer configurable but is ok as I don't think need to always configure that often.
For wheel button issue, I find out is my specific app (KKBox) issue. If I change to AIMP or another music app then is working fine to cycle the sources.
And i think a setting which is quite useful for me is "Multiple music app" which will show current playing app info in that widget area

auto boot delay

Hello,
I'm curious I can get some help. I have an android box that hooks up to my TV. I have an app I use called "Key Mapper" that allows me to remap my keyboard keys so I can create shortcuts. One of the issues I find with the app is that sometimes I have to exit out of it and reopen it and re-enable accessibility within the App.
In Android Settings I already have accessibility enabled so it should be good, but when I reboot the device it seems to always stop working until I close out of the process and re-open it up.
My theory is that maybe I need to delay the auto boot of the application. It starts up with Android automatically but if I can have it delayed start that may resolve the issue. Is there an app or some way I can adjust the auto boo setting to delay it say 10 seconds after Android loads up?

After your OS finishes booting and loads the full OS stack, a system-wide message called Broadcast Intent will be sent to all apps, notifying them that your device has completed booting (this intent is called BOOT_COMPLETED). Then it's up to the individual app to use that broadcasted intent to pre-load in memory whatever they want (or simply not react at all).
The thing is you want to delay auto boot for that specific application, so there are 2 options for that:
you turn off auto boot in the App itself (if it provides such an option).
you block the app from receiving the intent broadcasted.
The second option is also achieved either by using a task killer to force kill the app (which defeats your point IMO) or it manipulate the app from receiving the intent entirely. Both of these options require root access.
If you have root I suggest The App: SD maid (pro version). Under app control you can modify which system Broadcasts that Keymapper recieves (among them could be boot_completed). See attached screenshot from my device for example.
Hope I helped somehow
Thank you for your response. That was super helpful! The device I am playing around with is a Mekotronics R58x, and it had some sort of modified root that was conflicting with Magisk. I read somewhere on these forums that someone suggested renaming the su file if it exists in /system/xbin/su; which it did. I renamed it and rebooted and after that everything worked wonderfully. Keymapper was still autobooting like previously, but this time all the services loaded right up and I didn't have to restart the app it just worked.
Basically I think the issue was this custom su file that was conflicting with Magisk and causing a headache with the keymapper. I'm glad I stumbled across the fix, but either way your post was also very helpful! Thank you!
