Thanks, perhaps it is better to install UI17/20 on 3 split screen package.

There is a problem of UI17/20 with normal package when 360 camera system installed, i.e, When reversing, the rear view screen of the 360 system occasionally does not display.

I will try to install the 3 split screen package next time, to observe if the problem still exists.
I installed latest version of UI20 in xyauto site(June 1). After 2 day of testing, It seems the problem of 360 was solved.
So I need not to test the 3 split screen base package.

Home, return and volume buttons on the left side under mic and reset, don't respond. How to assign?

These buttons are assigned automatically in the booting progress.
Reboot the HU may help.

Yes, I also encountered various UI issues after format+flash and took a few reboots and resolve.

I recall there is a menu to set actions to the icon touch actions.

Also touch zones for these icons shifted in my case requiring calibration

I am on 1.73.8 and sometimes the volume buttons don't work. The a/c controls don't work. as if the canbus is not correct. few minutes (10-20) later it would go back to normal and everything is ok. anyone else have a similar experience?

My volume button on HU felt intermittent after 1.73.8 flashing upgrade. Turns out the touch zone changed and required recalibration. Try touching above and below to see if can get more deterministic behavior.

Sorry I was not very clear on my post. I was referring to the volume keys on the steering wheel. Pressing volume up or down normally would bring a graphical slider on screen that moves up or down. This does not show up during these early minutes of starting the HU. I can change the volume on the touch screen alright.
Trying to control the A/C by touching the screen has no effect. If I go to settings and reload the canbus for my car again everything works fine. Until the next time I start the car!

ah ok, xyauto seems to be changing CANBUS software often in last 1/2 year of releases. Maybe to add more CANBUS decoder modules?

I guess can flash back to older 1.73.7 to check if new bug. Flash is a bit of work of course :)

file date shows this is 2023/05/11. The one I gave you to install in post #1844 is 2023/06/01 so its newer.

Directory name says the newer one is "three-split-screen" I don't know the meaning. UI17/UI20 works with both firmware. Maybe three-split-screen is related to HU's split screen feature (I tried 2 split screen before but don't use it)

2023/05/11 file also don't have computer flash file so the ota file can only be used to USB upgrade an HU with 1.73.8 already installed.

You need a usb in fat32 with the display driver and the auto update file, connect it, turn on the head unit , when you see light press the reset button, when black screen let 1-3 seconds and press and hold reset button again for 30 seconds (must have black screen while holding), let the screen turn on and show light again and wait till autorestart (2-5 minutes) with the usb connected, when the screen restart alone again disconnect the usb and voilá, your head unit is working again!

if you want to flash it say to me in private message and i will help you by teamviewer or telegram vídeocall, don’t worry about.. your head unit will work again without problem, that’s because we are here!

PS: this driver is specific for 1024x768 and there are 3 more for this resolution, if you need another one for this resolution or for another resolution.. i’m here!
I have the same problem. can you give me for attached screen. please please

What do you mean you have same problem? Did you install UI with wrong resolution and bricked display? If so @mantecon1 explained to me this is how to recover from brick with wrong display driver


If you have other brick problem, then please explain more detail.

For 1280x720 compatible UI to use for wrong display driver recovery. You can try UI17/UI20


Also read NOTE11 here. Thats also another possible 1280x720 display driver to use

    I have a 7260B with 4/64Gb config. Honestly it is a very basic unit with not enough muscle power. I have tried various combinations to see if there are ways to speed up the system (especially google maps and playstore). However all offered similar performances. Few things i have tried (all these are flashing through laptop)

    1. Updated to the latest 1.73.8
    2. Downgraded to 1.71
    3. flashed a 64 bit firmware (6-8GB) - this seems to lag on my unit
    4. flashed 1.73.7 (by far the weakest firmware)
    5. Flashed Chinese firmware - Issues with google services
    6. Flashed 1.73.7 with the new partition from 1.73.8
    7. Even tried the Android 11 and 12 from other similar units and bricked my unit

    Over the weekend i flashed the 1.73.8 (latest) and rooted it with TWRP recovery. Additionally i did
    1. deleted several apps that were not required (Gmail, google app, contactssync, calendar sync and a few others that i dont need). I had to delete these through TWRP
    2. Used RAM expander from playstore and created an additional 8GB swap memory - marginal improvement in the connectivity and load times of google apps
    3. I also used EX Kernel manager and found that only 4 of the 8 cores are usually operational. I enabled all 8 cores, and set the max and min frequency to 2001MHz. I also set the governor to performance. All these yield a slightly better performance (although not significant).

    After all these experiments, i have resented to the fact that this one is a weak unit and cant be pushed beyond a certain limit (my personal opinion). For now it seems to meet my requirements (albeit barely), i dont intend to change this unit. At some point i would go back and install my stock unit. The music output is generally ok. The bass is too high and when you reduce it the pitch becomes too high. For now i use the Rock mode which has a decent balance of both the Bass and the highs

    Yes, this HU isn't very good performance. But it also depend on what you run. Will be fine if just run radio for example so depends on on usage scenario. 2 steps made the biggest performance difference for my usage case.

    Usage case : Navigation + radio + answer bluetooth calls + make calls via siri commands to iphone which then use HU's BT for mic+sound. Don't use CarPlay or AA or voice commands/recognition on the HU.
    • 1.73.8 generally increased performance over 1.73.7 in either 32 or 64bit mode.
    • An efficient offline navigation such as iGo and Sygic runs pretty fast. iGo is really fast but no voice/natural language destination specification. But its very fast, runs with UI17/20/23 as part of my usage case reasonably fast.
    If your usage mode is similar, might try iGO for an older navigation UI style but relatively fast overall operation.

    How did you install it? Thanks
    if you have 1.73.8 running, you can use spflashtool to flash the boot.img( it's patched with magisk, so it's rooted). Then install magisk.apk in android, run it, it will nag for a reboot, so reboot. Then install the v4a.apk (viper4android apk). Then start up magisk and install the v4a.zip(viper4android magisk module) as a module. Then reboot, then run viper4android app and turn legace mode on. Then setup viper4android.

    As extra( for me i don't know if it sounded better, maybe yes, but it had less base) you can flash another viper4android module zip file in magisk. Choose either module for the sound as you like.

    that's a lot of effort you made. Too bad it didn't change much. For the sound, you could try viper4android. On my unit it results in a better sound.

    Very similar usage as yours. I am currently running it on 32bit.

    Is iGo comparable to GMaps? In terms of realtime traffic and optimial routing? Keen to try this one

    iGO does lose a lot to latest cloud based map leaders like GMaps. Offline so no realtime traffic and not as good routing. But the map is fast. Enter destination is old style (state->city->street->number) But it does auto switch day/night color mode (GMaps version for his Android HU version is old so don't switch color unless routing) And designed as a car navigator just get turn on HU, it fires up and shows your location while driving on maps. Doesn't pause in a search window first.

    How to use that file? How to apply it? I already have 1.73.8
    Put it in a readable USB and go do an Android update (car settings, system info).

    Late Feb release of an xyauto UI is pretty good. Has maps (I use with google maps app with offline maps), radio, HU music player, a fixed app launch icon pane (left vertical) and a user changeable app launch icon pane (lower bottom) all on one screen.

    Generally quite nice. google maps has voice input search, auto dark mode at night while navigating (none navigation mode unfortunately stays in day mode) map will be always north up while driving without navigation route.

    Screenshot_20220429-113525.pngScreenshot_20220502-172333.pngScreenshot_20220502-212853.png

    patch file link Note this seems to be for 1024x600 screen only. Didn't see it in other resolution folders.

    Mode switching is a bit mysterious (I have a steering wheel button programmed to switch modes). In the old default UI, mode switch with switch between currently running apps. Seems to do nothing on this UI while being displayed.

    This launcher provide everything I use so no need to fiddle with the HU much. Just power on the car and drive. The useful features are

    - FM radio (wife listens to this and its her car)

    - Maps always displayed and track your position smoothly (Seen other launchers with map. Position only update every second or so, very jerky display). Google maps fixed to north up unless navigating. Voice input destination via mic icon on google maps search bar. Maps always in bright color mode (quite bright at night but area is not entire screen) Navigation will auto change to dark mode at night.

    - BT works if setup to auto pair. Incoming calls pops up on screen. Can voice command out going calls with iPhone easily. Just say "siri call xxx" with iPhone mic able to hear you. iPhone looks up your contact and dials while connecting to HU's BT for speaker/mic sound.

    - Music player will play all music files in the system/USB stick.

    - Color choices are nice. Colorful but background is dim for night time use. Only issue is google maps none navigation mode display stays bright. Other nav software might handle this better.

    - Google maps generally likes portrait displays like a phone. This horizontal smaller window sometimes hide the next driving intersection change behind the green direction box on top. Not too big of a problem.

    - Left column icons are not changeable. Bottom row is user changeable.

    I have recorder a video with the YT5760B system upgrade. It takes about 5 minutes to complete. In the attached ZIP file you can find the video.

    You might need to reinstall 1.73.7 to recover matching zlink version. Not sure anyone who knows how to extract apks still hang out on this thread.
    I managed to extract all the apks from 1.73.7.
    Strangely. I couldn't find zlink.apk.
    There is ZlinkActivationCode.apk, which is the only apk related to zlink.

    -------------------------------------------------------------

    Update!
    Finally found the zlink apk. it was inside the vendor.new.dat.br.
    I have uploaded zlink apk here, just in case someone needs it.
    I believe this is the zlink ver 3.9.27 comes from the 1.73.7 firmware.
    I haven't got chance to test it on my HU (now is midnight here in Australia), will do it tomorrow.

    Is it wiping user data as 1.73.3?

    Just installed 1.73.6 on 5760B 1024*600, didn't wipe user data.

    Actually, I forgot and left 1.73.3 (don't recall if it was 5/24 or 7/25 version) on the USB stick w/1.73.6 and 1.73.3 got installed which wiped my user data. But then I installed 1.73.6 over this without wiping user data.

    Biggest change I notice is just the 2x boot up pop sound is gone. So maybe xyauto have more orderly sound hardware initialization now :)
