Problem with access to analog radio and phone with a new car launcher. - Android Head-Units

Hello,
I have this unit: YUNTX Android 10 Autoradio - [4G+64G] - [Integrado CarPlay/Android Auto/DSP/GPS] - Octa Core (https://www.amazon.es/dp/B08XM7C5BR?tag=nextauto-21&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1 ). In BT it appears as AWC5847
I have installed a new launcher (Agama) in the car radio unit, because it is a more powerful and configurable launcher that the original that comes with the unit.
And i have 2 problems (in fact, one problem in 2 applications).
I have installed the Agama app and I cannot use neather the analog radio FM nor the Phone whit Agama. If i assign Radio FM application to the Agama radio button, when i push the button nothing happens and the FM radio of my stereo car device is not started. The same with Phone application.
It seems like if Agama cannot manage the built in applications of my DIN2 stereo device, only the Android aplications.
I have a shortcut for radio and another shortcut for phone in applications wardrobe, but if i assign it to one of the launcher button, it does not do nothing, the radio or Phone is not openned.
If i push my steering wheel radio or Phone button, it works; if i push the button of the original launcher that comes with the unit, it works, but it does not work with the launcher. It is like the original launcher block the radio and the Phone, unless i have put the new launcher as the default launcher.
If i download an alternative application (like Navradio+ or True Dialer), it is a partial solution, because the application starts with the launcher button, but i cannot manage it with the steering wheel buttons, like if the steering wheel buttons for radio and Phone were Block by the system launcher application.
1. Is it a normal problem? How can i solve it?
2. How can i manage the car stereo unit sytem builtin applications (basically, analog radio and phone) with Agama launcher, like i manage the others applications?
3. I dont know if i have root access to the unit. But if not, please could you tell me how can I have root access to the car unit?
Thank you.
Best regards.

To help you in any way... you need to give some useful information about your new unit.
We need to know :
MCU version of the unit
CPU installed.
Additionally: There are already tons of threads for this particular Launcher,

Thank you for your answer.
I attach a protocolo with my car unit details

Hardware: AC8257 8 core 4 GB 64 GB ROM LPDDR4 1024x600

Well Agama lacks of the ability to start system-apps as FM and player as they are started internally in the system app.
You can´t do a lot...
FM can most problably started with Tasker, but you need to find the correct app call in Tasker. Then you may be able to add a button in Agama for FM.
The phone is most probably the same, but not that easy.
There could be a chance in future that you are able to get another ROM installed: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-px6-mcu-stm32-rk3399-with-android-9.4111653/ but Malaysk just has one for Android 9, not for Android 10.... but there are rumors that he is working on it.... You may ask him?!?

Thanks a lot.
I have seen that for other devices there are apks for radio, phone, ... (For_Launchers.zip with radio.apk, phone.apk, navigator.apk, ...) that are installed like any apk on the device and allow the use of the native built-in radio, telephone, ... of the device in third-party launchers. For example here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/car-launcher-ag.3672779/page-15#post-86494267
Am I right?
Is it possible for my device?

You could try Fcc Car launcher first in the free version.
It could be possible that Fcc can help out there... at least a try would shed some light, right?
AGAMA would not fix that.

I am trying with FCC too, but the problem is the same.
I think that the solution is to have Radio.apk and Phone.apk for my unit, as those that i put in my previous message but for my radio car unit

You don´t get an apk for both... They are part of the system.apk and you can not get any other apk to connect to the radio or phone.
Don´t even think about any similarities to a phone or tablet.... Android car radios are completely different.

I have tried it a few days ago and it doesn´t work, because these apks are for another device, not for my device.
For this reason, I was trying to get the right apks for my device.

As I wrote already... FM and Phone are not separate apps on most of the units. They are implemented in the system.apk (or however it is called on your device) itself and just called internally by internal requests. May be you can use Tasker to find the correct requests, but I would not bet on that. I even don´t know if it is possible to call Tasker tasks in your preferred launcher. I know that it is possible in Fcc.

Yes, I am trying with Tasker, but, until now, I am not able to identify the Applications that opens Radio, and Phone, to put them in a Tasker task.
Thanks

Xtrons - How do I assign Apps to the Mode list (steering wheel control)?

I've just installed an Xtrons TE706PL, and got the steering wheel controls to work in my Subaru
But I can't figure out how to change the list of Apps it uses for the Mode button.
It currently cycles though a list of Apps, including the Radio, its stock (rather useless) music app, the AV input and a few other things.
But I'd like to change it, so that it cycles through, the Radio, the Navigation app I choose, and a music app of my choice.
I've looked though all the settings, including the Factory Settings (using the password 126), but I can't find a list of Apps which it cycles though for the "Mode"
Does anyone know a way to change this list.
PS. I'm running the stock Xtrons ROM but I've setup the ADB root access, so can change config files etc with root permissions and can remount the partitions as r/w etc
I've been trying to figure this out too .. There were some threads on here that detailed something so complicated it scared me lol

not sure about xtronos, but in Joying (Intel SoFIA or RockChip PX5 based, the most important thing is that SoM module from FYT is used ) these items are hardcoded in SofiaServer app, which doing all the internal stuff (controlling radio, voulme, steering wheel controls, hardware/touch buttons on HU, etc.)
So the only way for us to change it is to:
1. root the unit
2. install Xposed (or install custom ROM with Xposed embedded, like GTX ROM)
3. Install XSofiaTweaker Xposed module, which can replace internal functions with custom configured actions.
As i said - i don't know how it is in Xtrons, but at least you can check this direction.
Thanks for the tip, worth researching!

I'm not sure if its worth spending too much time on that solution, because AFIK the SoFIA chipset is a lot different from the PX5 in the Xtrons unit.
Also the Joying MCU is potentially a lot different from the Xtrons MCU.
I think it may be easier just to figure out how the stock app communicates with the MCU, and write a replacement app, and get it to run on startup, in the background.
I came across this (albeit old) app that seemed to do something like this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3246398
Looking at the backup I made of system/app, there is an app called MTCWheelStudy, decompiled through APK Easy,
I can see the assets from the UI of the Steering wheel control in the Car settings.
But I can't see anything in any of the xml or smali files which seems to list the Apps which it switches to for the Mode, so potentially its just the UI, and there is a separate "service" which handles the requests, e.g. this UI may just be changing a config file somewhere (but I'm not sure what to look for in order to find that file, if thats the case)
I looking at the names of the apps in system/apps, I don't see anything that is obviously a "service" app.
Update.
Looking in the decompiled smali code, (using APK Easy Tool), I'm getting a lot of errors like this
#disallowed odex opcode
#iget-object-quick v2, p0, [email protected]
and
#disallowed odex opcode
#return-void-no-barrier
and
#disallowed odex opcode
#invoke-virtual-quick {p1, v5}, [email protected]
I think I'm going to need to decompile the odex files using something else, perhaps dec2jar, but I get the feeling by reading various threads that dec2jar does not eventually produce Java code (after decompilation) which would be re-compilable.
But since I don't think the MTCWheelStudy is necessarily the service which actually reads the steering wheel keys and dispatches the appropriate events, I'll probably need to batch decompile the all the system/ app odex files and see if I can find anything which looks like it has references to KEYCODE_VOLUME_DOWN and KEYCODE_MUTE etc, as this should only show audio related apps, which should narrow down the search for what is sending these events.
I'd be very interested to see if you can work this out!
This might help?
I found some info on 4pda(ru) that explains how to edit the com.tw.service_a5a4.apk file so you can modify the order of the list and remove things from it. It is a little old though (Android 6.0)
I guess, as long as it's not too old, there might be a way of changing the apps in there too.
Unfortunately, being a newbie I can't post the link just yet.
Anyone had any success with this?

Eonon GA2168K Radio app and Nova launcher issue

Hello all, I just purchased and installed an Eonon GA2168K 10.1" LCD Android head unit. The stock launcher on this unit is terrible. I've installed Nova launcher and everything looks much better now. The issue I'm having is that the stock radio app is nowhere to be found however when I go back back to stock launcher, it is there. Not sure why it's not available in Nova. Has anybody else experienced this problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Yes it is because it is a custom function for the head unit, so standard launchers can't see it.
Give FCC Car Launcher a try - it's great and should hopefully work for you
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried FCC and still no radio. My old Eonon Android unit on 4.4 didn't do this. I have also noticed that this is a very limited version of Android e.g., missing all the settings in the top drop down menu. Hopefully someone is working on a custom ROM for this unit. I really don't want to use the stock launcher.

Yeah your old one would have been a MTCB with Rockchip manufactured by Klyde - this one is basically a completely different software developer and manufacturer.
What is the MCU version out of interest?
Mcu: Ts907.180712
I've also purchased this same unit. I'v tried a bunch of different launchers and all are no go for the radio app. Really driving me crazy that I can't use other launchers without losing the stock radio functionality.

Good to hear I'm not the only one but sucks at the same time. Though I was starting to worry because I bought this unit refurbished and the software was all screwed up when I got it. It had Apex launcher installed along with a bunch of other non stock apps. These were presumably installed by the the original purchaser and Eonon didn't even bother to reset to factory settings which is something I still have not figured out how to do.
Is your drop down menu bare like mine? Mine only shows the WiFi connection.
Bluetooth is very disappointing too, can't connect anything like bluetooth headphones or a keyboard as it does not show an option to search for devices.
This is not the true android experience I was hoping for.
Ya, mine only has wifi listed in drop-down. I can connect to Bluetooth with my phone just have to go into settings menu. I like the unit, but the custom firmware and launcher that it comes with is kinda garbage. I did get in contact with the seller for the newest update, but it still has issues. Mine has the same radio app issue you described with custom launchers and will not keep a radio preset name. I can set a preset, but as soon as I select another staion whatever is displayed gets saved as that preset name on the channel I was switching from. I did update to the newest 2/21/2019 update, but my unit still has the same bugs. I bought mine through Amazon and I'm pretty sure I'm going to return it as it was not describes as published. This unit could be awesome if it had a better firmware installed on it. I can dump the firmware if anyone wants to take a look at it and possibly fix it's shortcomings.

I just installed a GA2168K yesterday in my 2006 GTO.
A couple things I noteced... I noticed in the included harness adapter is they have constant battery power and accessory power swapped.
Installed it with their R0008 dash cam that came with it. No DVR app. Finally found the main config menu (hidden by password 8888) and enabled DVR.
It does not detect the camera. it works fine with my GA2170. Went to their website and was looking to see if they had a different camera available, and that is the only one. However, on the R0008 camera product page it gives a list of HU's it isn't compatible with, and the GA2168K is one of those. Sent support an email, hopefully will have an answer Monday on that. The other frustration is that half the settings they show in the user manual and online, aren't showing up in the actual menu's. Hoping they can send me a newer Firmware/OS that enables those... And finally, there is no seperate control for subwoofer like there was in the GA2170 Looks like I need to buy the remote amp level control and run a new cable to the trunk
I also need to add that it is advertised as having 18 FM radio presets and 12 AM presets.
Mine is only storing 6 of each and just goes back to the beginning...
Mine has the 18 fm presets and 12 am. Just have to hit the Fm or am button to go to the next set. As for the DVR cam, I remember reading that it wasn't compatible with DVR cams in the Amazon description where I purchased mine. Specifically list the r0008.
So problems I've noticed so far. I've updated to the latest firmware provided by Eonon support.
The addition of a screen off button is nice, but the brightness settings for auto brightness are still to bright at night. I really wish they would include a brightness slider. Maybe a lower setting on the nite slider.
My wifi does not automatically connect to my phone when i turn on my hot spot. I have to manually go into wifi settings for it to start searching for a signal.
My radio presets will not save properly. They only save what is listed when I change the station. Becomes really annoying since it save whatever song data is displayed. I really would like a way to add a custom name to stations so that it doesn't just save the radio data displayed.
I also really wish I could use the radio app with another launcher like Nova. The radio app contains all the speaker adjustment controls and equaliser settings.
Edit: this is the response I got from Eonon after sending them a similar email for their developer to hopefully look into and correct some of the quirks of the firmware on this head unit for a future update.
Hi,
1, regarding the brightness, currently can not be set lower.
2. Because the WIFI hotspot of the mobile phone will automatically enter the hibernation state after being connected for a long time, when the machine is started again, the WIFI hotspot of the mobile phone is not detected. At this time, it is necessary to manually activate the WIFI hotspot to connect, we cannot change this..
3, currently does not support the storage method you said, thank you for your advice!
4. This is a problem with APP compatibility. There is no way to solve it.
Thank u so much!
Vera
Hmmmm......?
If someone wanted to work on a ROM for this headunit I'm sure I could figure out how to dump it. This head unit has some great potential but has some flaws that I wish the companies devs would fix.

I have the GA9163K (the Mazda version) of this head unit. Apparently the K versions of this model, which generally come with Android 8.1.0, do not support front camera/dvr function. That's what the EONON rep told me anyway.
On my unit, in the advanced menu (code 8888) it had options to change the number of presets on each band and could be selected between 6, 12 or 18 presets on FM and 6 or 12 on AM. It also had the option to enable OT frequency, but not sure what that is as we do not use that here.
Dears,
anybody tried Eonon GA2178 - 10" Android 9 Head Unit?
I'm actually on Eonon GA2168K - 10" Android 8 Head Unit, it's a good device with minor problems.
Anytime developers fix a problem they introduce an other problem and there's no community support for MTK chipsets.
Because of this I'm evaluating the new Eonon GA2178, that is quite similar but based on Rockchip chipset.
Tks!
I found a solution to eonon with no radio,
I installed the GA2180A eonon unit last week and changed the launcher to the paid version of Car launcher by apps lab studio and found the same issue, no radio.
I was able edit the theme and create a widget with 'KWGT Kustom Widget Maker' that basically displayed a picture, I used an radio clipart png file i found with google image search and set the action when clicking the widget to run the Radio activity inside the app installed called com.ts.MainUI8. Your app and activity may be slightly different to mine. I do own the pro key for KWGT, but I don't think that matters.
This is my first post so the system won't allow me to post the google drive link to my custom widget. Feel free to message me for it. It would need modification too.
Depending on the rom installed in yours you may be able to use something like 'Activity Launcher' by Adam Szalkowski to create a shortcut directly to the activity. This is a much easier than the first option, but some roms have the ability to create shortcuts turned off. Mine did so I found widget work around.
The above could easily be adapted to launch other internal activities beside the radio.
Happy to provide more info if I'm not clear. Good luck!

I have an UGAR 9 in (model 8227L). It's running Android 9. And has a clunky stock user interface. I used Nova Launcher and "quickshortcutmaker" to create shortcuts to the stock apps that did not show up in my app drawer. Namely the AV-IN and radio apps. So I got that all working pretty well. However, I have not been able to figure out how to get the upper status bar to remain visible. It hides itself after one or two seconds. If you have figured out how to keep the status bar from hiding please let me know. Thank you much

I found a solution to eonon with no radio,
I installed the GA2180A eonon unit last week and changed the launcher to the paid version of Car launcher by apps lab studio and found the same issue, no radio.
I was able edit the theme and create a widget with 'KWGT Kustom Widget Maker' that basically displayed a picture, I used an radio clipart png file i found with google image search and set the action when clicking the widget to run the Radio activity inside the app installed called com.ts.MainUI8. Your app and activity may be slightly different to mine. I do own the pro key for KWGT, but I don't think that matters.
This is my first post so the system won't allow me to post the google drive link to my custom widget. Feel free to message me for it. It would need modification too.
Depending on the rom installed in yours you may be able to use something like 'Activity Launcher' by Adam Szalkowski to create a shortcut directly to the activity. This is a much easier than the first option, but some roms have the ability to create shortcuts turned off. Mine did so I found widget work around.
The above could easily be adapted to launch other internal activities beside the radio.
Happy to provide more info if I'm not clear. Good luck!

I have the same setup... Same head unit, programs, I can't get it to work. Could I get detailed directions or something? It would be greatly appreciated.

PX5 S32F0 Head Unit Known Bugs: Inputs for Custom ROM deployment.

In this thread we collected enough money to help our friend @Malaysk to buy a device that will be used for a ROM development.
Now I am asking all the owners of a PX5 with S32F0 MCU to help @Malaysk work, reporting here the known bugs of their units. This will help him don't wasting time searching them and it will speed up the ROM development.
Add a post below, reporting the following information (following is mine.):
Model (Vendor): Erisin ES8176J PX5 64 Gb ROM 4Gb RAM Android 10 (Jeep Grand Cherokee)
ANDROID : 175134
MCU: S32F0_LEIMA-W_20200703-16:29_HD1_7708_D_FF_C8
APP: PX5C_C55_HA4_LeiMa_LeiMaUI2-0000-10-JS_2020-07-16-1734
Found Bugs:
1) Bluetooth Settings missed from Main Menu -->Connections (Pairing of devices like OBD, performed inside Telephony app)
2) Bluetooth AD2P App missing (BT Music supported inside the Telephony app)
3) FM Radio AF=On setting lost every time the app is closed
4) FM Radio "power Off" button missing
5) Bluetooth Ring and Call Volume too high at every reboot (settings are lost)
6) Stock launcher has only 2 desktop spaces for the Apps and is not possible to add more.
7) Steering Wheel commands are "pre-defined" in factory (Can Bus) and cannot be changed (The App is working only with resistive one)
8) "Ok Google" not working. It is impossible to enable the voice recognition learn process (button greyed)
Suggested Improvements (Ideas for @Malaysk):
1) Root
2) Rework of the apps GUI (Radio, BT, Music, etc.)
3) Customizable list of the Apps that are running instead of the stock
4) Complete Power Off button
5) Battery Voltage in status bar
6) Status Bar customizable in terms of items, size, etc.
7) Customizable Steering Wheel codes
8) Screen light intensity auto dimmed by Time of the Day
9) New launcher with media info on the home page

For number 2) Bluetooth is a big mess, like you say, we don't even have the option in Settings. I would just like to be able to connect to a bluetooth device using the head unit.
For number 7), it would be indeed nice if we could program Steering Wheel buttons that are sent over CANbus.
additional:
10) Zlink app only supports Carplay, I would like it to work with Android Auto instead. I've seen different versions of Zlink passing by that support Android Auto...
Looks like all the same bugs which exist in MTCX units. Probably a port of the bugs, a copy as the Chinese are so well known for.
Check out the joying thread for the new units with a super cheap and cheerful processor and different MCU; same bugs.

My pre installed version of Zlink is supporting very well Android Auto on my Samsung Note 10.
Perhaps Malaysk could integrate it in the ROM.

Probably the porting is only on the Android part, with the necessary adaptations for the different MCU.

Yes! I'd like that
Bugs:
- unable to update Zlink (its included in the rom once deleted can´t be installed again, only by whole reset, not even the same APK i extracted before)
- ZLink crashing after 2-20 Minutes, can´t update Zlink
- Can SWC is increasing or decreasing Volume by 2 steps instead of one

USB hub is supported, I have mine connected to a DAB+ receiver and USB stick through a powered USB hub
---------- Post added at 03:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 PM ----------
one more bug, I'd like to see addressed:
- when I put the car in reverse gear, it automatically starts the reverse camera app. I've seen 'fixes' that say to remove the app, but I would like to keep the app (I still want to use it when I start the app myself), but not start the app when I put the car in reverse gear. Make this an option that can be selected.
thx!

MCU-firmware is anders; er is een radiomodule 6686 en 7708., controleer, anders wordt de radio niet wakker met geluid..... this i have from the Russian site.!!
I would like to have the option DSP updated to the latest.... i have this radiomodule >> (7708) ... and maybe a new DAB+ app .. that just works better .. instead of the one preinstalled ..

Just use DAB-Z for DAB+. Works perfect for me!
I think you would have to physically upgrade the DSP-processor for real 16ch DSP. From what i read the DSP in our units is a fake. It has just 8 channels.
It would be nice if a balloon with the selected station was displayed on the screen for a moment when changing the radio station. When the radio works in the background and you switch stations using the button, we would know what the current station is.

for the reverse... put the following code in the factory setting screen 0000121, a page should open with additional settings (Boot Config). I remember that I saw something there about "Back Camera". I am not sure about what changing this setting does, but a try could not arm... I hope! :laugh:

Nope... DAB Z should work even if you have the stock app installed. Is one of the first app I installed on my hu and I am using it regularly. Do you have a normal DAB usb dongle ?

1) I wish I could change favorite stations from the steering wheel
2) have the AF function work well and remain set after switching off

Hi .. i really had to uninstall the standard app first for DAB-Z to work .. never the less .. it works .. i don`t know what i have normal or regulair dongle .. i have a window antenna and i think the dongle is in the back of the unit .. however ..DAB-Z is working better than the DAB+ app .. is it normal that at first boot it crashes ?? Or am i missing something ??
Hello everyone. Guys, I just want to write you a few points so that everyone understands this.
1. The device has not even been sent to me yet, the status is awaiting dispatch (it is written that within 15 days, but the seller promised to send it as soon as possible).
2. The choice of sending the device was only regular Aliexpress mail (I do not know how long it will be delivered).
3. Working on the mod firmware will take a long time, as soon as I receive the device, I hope you understand that this is not done quickly. And this is a completely new device for me, although I suspect that it is similar from the forum thread for MCU MTCE.
4. Not everything that you have written here is possible to do.
5. I will try to make a ready-made firmware with ROOT access very quickly and post it here.
Thank you for understanding. I read this forum, but very rarely answer and do not use private messages (there is only one spam)

Does somebody has the stock Launcher in .apk file ? If so can you give it to me .. i have no idea how to extract it from my unit .. !
I want to delete it and then go on with only the AGAMA Launcher .. and in time reinstall the stock one .. its not in OEM applications. That`s why i ask !
Or maybe all the stock apk`s.

Klyde KD-1280 android tesla style head unit.

Hi,
I have bought one of these, installed it ok with the limited instructions that came with it.
Does anyone know if there is a Klyne website with a download feature to download a user manual please.
I am particularly interested in the built in pre loaded radio tuner app, and how to save a radio station to favourites. I have tried all sorts, cant figure out how to store a channel / station into memory.
Thanks.
Anthony.

or advice on what android tuner app is better to use, from an in car arial.
Many thanks.
unfortunately you can't change the standard radio app (so you can start it via the "radio" button).
I prefer DAB+ and use an app called dab-z

Carwebguru question please

Hi there I have just installed an XTRONS Android head into my Audi A4 B7. It's all working nicely but the stock launcher home page is a bit naff, but it had all the functions and apps easily accessible including the normal off line AM FM radio. So I decided to download carwebguru yesterday (latest version) but I have no way to see or use the radio function. I have installed DAB and it's working fine but no way to open the normal radio which was built in. I have programmed all the buttons on home screen but nothing opens up for AM FM radio. I don't want to download an app because of stupid advertising. Could any one enlighten me how to open the AM FM built in radio application please? Cheers.
same problem on my erisin car stereo android 10 .....Any help please
I also have an Erisin in my Crafter van, Exactly the same problem with any Launcher I download, no way to allocate the radio button to the Native FM radio. Yet the Native Launcher opens the FM radio just fine...
15) Why are not all programs from the radio firmware visible?
Some programs are not separate programs. For example, it could be a shortcut or link to a specific part in another APK, or a link to a system library. Because of this, they are not visible. For example, most of the programs in the radio are made in this way and are not visible (camera, recorder, built-in player, conductor, bluetooth, etc.). There are several solutions.
Method-1. Go to the CWG application, and find the application from the radio and click on it with a long click. There will appear a menu with the item "Explore \ Explore" click and see a list of what can be launched inside this APK. If that didn't help, then your "applications" could be hidden or systemic. Then only creating separate APK launchers for each hidden application will help. You need to look for such mini APKs in the branch of your radio, they can discuss this there.
