PX5 MTCD/E Head Unit Discussion Thread [Rockchip PX5 A53 | Android 8.0 | 2/4GB RAM]

I have the same HU of my friend. Mine is a PX5 MTCE 2GB Marshmellow, your is PX5 MTCE 4BG Oreo and the launcher are different.
I have several units actually including a 2Gb and a 4Gb one I DO NOT have an Oreo unit, both my RK3368/PX5 units are MM.
There are a variety of launchers available - you CANNOT identify a unit simply by its launcher - the MM ROMs are the same for 2Gb and 4Gb versions.
As I said the launcher depends on the manufacturer, nothing else. If you want to change the launcher and the usual methods wont work, then change the ROM.
Hey I'm hoping to get a little more explanation. I'm deciding whether this headunit will work for me but I need to be able to control it with a USB keyboard (function keys are remapped). If this is possible, which pins need to be shorted? Are the 4 pins in the otg diagram wired like a normal USB header? I can use latching switches if they ever need to be disconnected.
Thanks
Does someone have a GS Oreo headunit?
If yes, please tell me which Bluetooth-chip you have and how good the Bluetooth call audio is.
How performs the unit overall? Are there still many bugs?

Could you proof if it is a real Android 8 version?
The settings look really strange with that space on the left. In Android 5.1 for MTCB they've also tried to reconstruct the settings.apk but it was looking different overall in the "About tablet" section. In Android 6 it looks like Vanilla-Android.
BTW only HA has this awful sidebar on the left. GS has a fresher looking new launcher and all other apps like in Android 6 but I know that there is no other zip or img then the HA one ATM.

Bluetooth is BC6. The connection was good when I called my boss. He complimented the quality. However the GS is slow to finish waking from deep sleep. I did not find other problems.
You got an Oreo unit ? You kept that quiet !!
Come on show us some more pics of your UI.
BC6 ? Thats the same as a lot of MTCB/C units.

Believe me is android 8.
This software version comes with a strange sidebar (awful & very useless if you have some kind of physical buttons on headunit) that reduces significantly the effective display size.
Do you have pics of the android 8 GS interface?
I have never seen before.

I have an newer build, you may want to ask the seller if they can provide update. No issues with Google Maps, Waze, Amazon Music all works great.
The firmware on the other hand is still pretty bad.

MCU
MCU type discussed here is MTCD or MTCE (if your unit has not MTCD/MTCE type MCU this thread is not for your unit)
MTCE is a software upgrade for MTCD, so they are identical in terms of hardware
Manufacturers.
The Manufacturer is identified by the XXX when consulting the MCU information under "device information" [MTCE_XXX_Version]. Take into accout that you should always refer the MANUFACTURER name (not the seller) on the forums for help/assistance. Giving the name for the Seller does not give any information but confusion.
e.g: MTCD_HA_1.93_1 (MTCD Unit with MCU for HotAudio under 1.93_1 version)
e.g: MTCE_GS_2.75 (MTCE Unit with MCU for GESHI manufacturer under 2.75 version)

ANDROID 6.0 -> ANDROID 8 UPGRADE WARNING
Due to change in partition system and upgrade in recovery system, update can't be performed using the OTA Android 8 files over Android 6.0 as usual method (direct or Recovery) as it will result in an error (or could get a bricked device...)
The only available methods are:
1) Upgrade by using SDCARD slot:
2) Upgrade by extracting the SOM and connecting a homemade OTG USB cable:
Instructions for making the OTG cable:
https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/...px3-5-headunit-mod-recover-flash-som-t3766892
For upgrading via OTG cable it is recommended to use Rockchip Tools for the Android 6 to 8 upgrade from a PC (to put the unit into "loader Mode" and then flash the supplied firmware)
Custom Oreo Firmwares:
@Malaysk has been released a prerooted Android 8 image with several improvements and modifications:
