Hi, just installed the xtrons PB78DLRPL Android 8.0 Octa Core 4GB RAM + 32GB ROM unit is working great so far, reverse camera wired up and working and DVR plugged in and working.
Few little gripes and wondered if anyone has any answers.
1) The app icons are really ugly and take up loads of screen space, but I can't find a way to change them. I'd rather not root the device.
2) The reverse lines on the reverse camera are fixed at an odd size, don't know if there is anything that can be changed about this to set it up or its just tough?
3) the front camera and Ucam app, works, but I need a larger sd card, I'll come back to this one later!
Any ideas on 1) and 2)?
Thanks
Steven

Through a long boring series of accidents, I am now pretty much stuck on the ROM that's installed on my tablet. It's a pretty good ROM, but it has a bug in the camera software that prevents me from recording video from the front-facing camera. With the rear facing camera it records just fine. I guess I can live with it if I have to, but everything worked perfectly on the stock rom that came with my tablet. So I'm wondering how deep into the guts of the tablet the software for the camera has to go, and if there's any hope that I can replace the faulty bits of software on my current OS with the working bits from the stock OS. Both are based on Gingerbread 2.3.5 so I'm hoping it's possible.
I've tested a few replacement camera applications from the google play store, but they are all unable to record off the front camera, so I think this suggests that it's an underlying driver or other library thing. Does anyone know what files are associated with interfacing the camera to the camer app? Are they independent of the kernel, or is the kernel part of this mess? I can still flash a kernel, but I haven't tried for fear it will mess up the current ROM.
Let me be more specific about the problem:
1. front camera works fine for taking pictures or streaming over wifi/3g with those types of apps
2. If I'm using the rear camera I can switch to video mode, but if I then swap to the front camera the app force closes. Conversely, if I'm using the front camera and I switch to video mode, the app also force closes.
Bumping for help
I've searched here and on other forums but can't find an answer to some camera related problems.
I'm using 15.1 Osprey June, 1st build on my Moto G3 2Gb Ram (XT1543).
PROBLEM 1: front camera not working.
This is happening for a long time, since I was using stock ROM (my phone came with 6.0, but that time both camera worked fine).
Don't know when this starts, cause i didn't use front camera very often, but when on 6.1 this already happened, the change camera icon simply disappeared.
I've tried all tricks, format the phone, boot on safe mode, clear chaces, etc.
I've used Lineage 14 for a while and now I've made a clean install of 15.1 and same thing.
Back camera works fine for photo and video using Footej Camera — the first time I opened this app, there was the change camera icon; I clicked and get that camera error message, and now the icon disappeared again. Installed MotoCamera_Mod_6.2.5.16 and same thing: back camera fully functional, front camera no icon or options.
Didn't drop my phone, but i'm considering some hardware problem.
Anyone has a link to a DIY fix (or at least try)?
Here in my country, the cost of the repair probably does not pay...
PROBLEM 2: Instagram stories not working
photos works fine, a click the button and can add to my story, but when I record video, after it's finished the buttons doesn't appear and the app freezes.
on "hands free" the image freezes during record, when try to make a boomerang "an error occurs" message appears and the **** goes like this...
I've removed and install back the app, have the last update, etc.
Is someone else having this problem?
thanks!
problem solved!
if someone else is having similar problems, here's the (obvious) solution:
just do a clean flash!
I did it and everything is working now (instagram stories, other camera apps functions and GPS).
except the front camera, probably due to some hardware stuff.
So I just decided to unblock bootloader, recovery and all that stuff to get on the custom rom.
Have been tried 2 rom: Evolution X and Pixel Exp
The rom seems to be working perfectly fine and the camera app as well but when I switch to the front camera, it just crashes all the time for any camera applications, I can use the camera and toggle the front camera then slide the phone down a bit and actually seeing the camera works through the small light gap appear on the screen but as soon as the slider full slides down, the app just stops right away without any warning.
How do I troubleshoot this ? Does anyone here encounter the same thing ?
I facetime my mother a lot so this really sucks for these recent couple of days already. Should I switch back to og software ?
If your on EvoX and use this camera: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog590/
When you slide down your front camera should work immediately.

Just swap back the rom and tried the app. Well it still doesn't work. Its go black screen for a sec and close the application.
None of the application with front camera works as well.
Is this a common thing ?
No, it seems like you are the only one with this problem. If it above does not solve it, I don't know.
This is a known issue. Start the camera, switch to portrait mode, then switch to FFC. It works fine with the latest Google camera port than with the Xiaomi camera. Once the app has crashed, to recover it, dismiss the app from Recents.
I had it too i switched back to stock then i formated from twrp then if you don't know what to do when you dont have an os don't freak out just connect it to the pc and drag and drop the files/rom into the phone install and you should be good to go
Hi. I have PX3 unit and want to connect rear and front camera ( Front only for parking), and i have problems....
So rear camera connected to : CCD AV in and to "back" and working fine when im switch to rear gear its opens automaticly in AVIN app.
But problem is front camera. I enable "front camera" in factory settings. Also enable DVR as CVBS., and switch to front camera after reverse.
And here problems starts.
I have 2 yellow RCA connectors in my unit: Video IN and DR-V
If i put it on Video IN i can open AVIN app and i can see front camera view , and black screen in DVR app
If i put it on DRV connector, i see front camera in DRV app and black screen in AVIN
But when i switch to reverse gear and then put front gear ( enabled switch to front camera after reverse) i see only yellow sign.
Its annoying to swich always to AVIN app cuz its mute radio and i neet to turn it on again after close AVIN
I have app "F-cam" but there is only black screen with yellow sign. Is there some option to usee only this app for rear and front camera? As there is button to switch cameras and it would be nice....
Pls help me guys to solve that problem... Many thx !
EDIT: hmmm i cant add images ;/ i've made album : https://ibb.co/album/fhm4wF

Hello just joined for tech support.
[Mod Moved to MTCD], your unit is probably an MTCD. Use CAM In on Connector K, and if that doesnt work, contact your reseller.

Only front camera or both? And for front camera use Video in or DR-v ?
EDIT: CAM in - is used by rear cam
Connector K - 3V output no matter what so i think its not correct cable to connect...
And i dont have free cables more... So F-cam app dont work at all... Rear cam induct AVIN screen, and nothing working for F-cam app i lost my hope...
I will ask my question, because eventually it may have a solution by changing the rom (as shown here).
So it's like this: I have an Isudar, in my car Mercedes w203 (2002), with android 7.1.2. It's working ... well.
Of course, I was left without the radio station ID, the dashboard instead shows a dash, and pressing the non-nude station switch button for the next preset station starts the search for another station. Apart from that it satisfies.
As I knew I could have other kind of elements added, I started installing a sim card to have Internet (although 3G), but it satisfies and I already put a reversing camera, no problem and it is working. But when trying to attach a front camera the question arose.
One of the cameras I bought, via USB, is not recognized by the system, but recognizes the application built into the camera which once installed continues to say that "there is a problem plugging in the USB plug" and / or the SD built into the camera. I searched the net and saw some that gave, but with radios of other brands, or with cameras of other brands, but more expensive, which I do not risk buying, because of the uncertainty of its operation.
If i connect the camera to my phone, no problem, install the app and show the image, record and that's fine. The difference is that on the mobile phone the connection is made by OTG (USB to micro USB) and the image is very good. In the car, with the connection made and the application open, the SD will record - with a non-current date (maybe the date of manufacture) - and show the movies with some quality.
With this camera was not for me I ordered another to connect in the rear of the radio via RCA plugs. And, only an application that comes on the radio (DVR) allows image if it is connected to RCA CVBS, but does not allow any recording. I will add photos to know if the reported problem can be solved without touching the software installed at the factory or if it will only be solved by installing a new ROM and, if so, if the radio has the proper specifications.
In advance, I am very grateful.
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.
