Software Development [Dev] New "NavRadio+" ported to UIS7862 and sc9853i FYT devices.

[surfer63]

I know this is a crazy ask. Since you managed to make a script to remove the original radio app. Would it be possible to make something similar to the apk responsible for handling the AF? And make a modified version worth corrected AF?

That is inside external libkaola libraries. That will be very difficult.

That is inside external libkaola libraries. That will be very difficult.

It's ironic how these guys release a piece of hardware which has playing radio as one of the main features, Ms that feature is completely crippled.

 

[KoTiX2]

That should do it, but the last 3 lines should also be doubled.

chmod 0755 /oem/app/190043001_com.syu.radio
chown -R 0.0 /oem/app/190043001_com.syu.radio/190043001_com.syu.radio.apk
chmod 0644 /oem/app/190043001_com.syu.radio/190043001_com.syu.radio.apk

I do not understand the "chown -R 0.0 /oem/app/190000008_com.syu.radio/190000008_com.syu.radio.apk".
The chown -R 0:0 is to make root as owner:group recursively to a folder including contents.
Do you actually mean "chown -R 0.0 /oem/app/190000008_com.syu.radio" ?

Which would then lead to:

chown -R 0.0 /oem/app/190000008_com.syu.radio
chown -R 0.0 /oem/app/190043001_com.syu.radio

Final code for Restorer script is then:

mv /oem/app/190000008_com.syu.radio/190000008_com.syu.radio.bak /oem/app/190000008_com.syu.radio/190000008_com.syu.radio.apk
mv /oem/app/190043001_com.syu.radio/190043001_com.syu.radio.bak /oem/app/190043001_com.syu.radio/190043001_com.syu.radio.apk
cp -rf  /storage/sdcard1/BACKUP_RADIO_APK/190000008_com.syu.radio.apk  /oem/app/190000008_com.syu.radio/190000008_com.syu.radio.apk
cp -rf  /storage/sdcard1/BACKUP_RADIO_APK/190043001_com.syu.radio.apk /oem/app/190043001_com.syu.radio/190043001_com.syu.radio.apk
chmod 0644 /oem/app/190000008_com.syu.radio/190000008_com.syu.radio.apk
chmod 0644 /oem/app/190043001_com.syu.radio/190043001_com.syu.radio.apk

Do you think i should make these scripts for all platform including all the files:

lsec6315update => uis7862 (ums512) => 7862lsec.sh
lsec6316update => sc9863a (uis8581a) => 8581lsec.sh
lsec6521update => sc9853i => lsec.sh
lsec6523update => sc7731 (uis8141e) => lsec.sh

or just the first 2?

Hi guys!

I created a small script to remove and restore the original Radio app.
WILL COMWE SOON

TO REMOVE:
All you have to do is to extract the zip file on the root of a FAT32 USB disk so you have:
a folder "lsec_updatesh"
and a file "lsec6315update"

With unit powered up and android running, insert the USB and when prompted press "START".
This will reboot the unit and run some shell commands to rename the original radio app from "190000008_com.syu.radio.apk" into "190000008_com.syu.radio.bak" so it will not be found by android.
You will see some linux commands and some text in CAPITAL letters scrolling..., at the end you'll see a green text "update success!Pls remove device". Do it and the unit will reboot to android with radio disabled.
The script will also create on USB a folder "BACKUP_RADIO_APK" that contain a copy of the original radio app.

TO RESTORE:
To restore to original state, simply insert again the USB disk with same files and folders that you extracted before and with the "BACKUP_RADIO_APK" folder with original file in it.
This time you'll see some red text during scrolling text phase, don't worry about it work in this way.

TO REMOVE ONCE AGAIN:
delete from USB disk the folder "BACKUP_RADIO_APK" and all can start over



ATTENTION: before to delete the "BACKUP_RADIO_APK" or the file in it, be sure you have the original radio app working correctly on your unit

Tomorrow i'll probably make other scripts to "Remove only" and "Restore only" the app that will help people to avoid mistakes.

Let's see what you guys think

EDIT: Nevermind I'll make new independent scripts to remove and to restore the radio app.

This seemed to work on my unit to prevent auto-start, but the radio still shows up when pressing the "source" on my steering wheel. Maybe I should re-run it to put it back

Should I try the new script also?

Better if you use the new scripts.

 

[j-5]

@KoTiX2 ...
Note though that not all radio apks are called "190000008_com.syu.radio.apk". The Joying is called "190043001_com.syu.radio.apk".
...

Point.
On my unit I have 2 files that could be the radio:
190000000_com.syu.carradio
and
190000009_2000_com.syu.radio

I can modify the script to do the fix, but not sure which one of those is it.

lsec6521update => sc9853i => lsec.sh
lsec6523update => sc7731 (uis8141e) => lsec.sh

Code seems to be correct.
script 1 and 2 should work.
script 3 is unnecessary as your radio app doesn't work on the sc9853i
I have no idea about the 7731. Never read something about it, but it uses the exact same structures and Allapp.pkg as the sc9853i. Soe maybe your radio app doesn't work either on the 7731.

Like Kotix2 already mentioned: The second one. Do not remove the carradio if you also have a CANbus.
Please mention what kind of brand of FYT uis7862 you have.

I did both, assuming the unit was similar to the others, but since I don't have canbus, I guess I'm ok? Script ran and worked a treat! thanks so much for the hard work.

There was mention earlier on renaming the navradio+ to the same name as the oem radio apk, is that an option also?

my unit: MCU PSTAR_53_L6315_G23P4864_V:1.0

No, renaming does nothing in android because apps are identified by their internal package name not the file name.
Infact all the different names of the radio app like yours 190000009_2000_com.syu.radio
Or 190000008_com.syu.radio or the one from joying are essentially the same app made with package "com.syu.radio".
FYT use different names for the different customers but the app is almost the same except some graphics and some code.

We should collect all the different names that we can find so I can add them to the script...

 

[j-5]

here's something unexpected. I just went out to restore my carradio.apk and the unit came up with radio playing, but no app running, so that was fun. I started NavRadio+ and it switched stations to the last one I was on with it, so something in the unit is turning on the radio circuits even without an app. I haven't been able to repeat the issue, but will monitor it and see if it happens again (i.e. from full power down vs reboot)

(I like silence when I start, so nothing is set to start when the unit starts)

edit: It didn't do it again after cold bot.

 

[mastrv]

I was planning on testing this on my sc9853i unit, a TEyes SPro/CC2, at some point.

@surfer63 Why won't it work on the sc9853i units?

Look at my Q&A https://xdaforums.com/t/q-a-tips-info-roll-up-joying-fyt-sc9853i.3979377/ bullet #22

"I like silence.......": I have explained this before: builtin car radios mostly start the last playing audo app, but you can switch that off. FYT mimics that behaviour by either starting the radio or the last used media player. There is a property to switch that off via a script.

That was explained by @KoTiX2 : sc9853i and older work differently. For the time being he can't adapt his app to also replace this older functionality.

 

[Zvonimir_G.]

Absolutely.
Same for music, BT, video and a few other apks. Also because they are slightly different, although they are all 100% compatible. The Joying music player for example has more functionality than all the other FYT music players.
Just unpack the AllAppUpdate.bin for Joying and you will see.

And you are right about the if-then-else not being possible.
My own scripts also contain double entries (how could I have forgotten )

Is it possible to use Joying music player on Navifly fyt unit?

Yes! That's where I saw that. . I'm good for now, but a link to that script might be helpful in the referenced thread?

First time caller, long time listener:
I think it would be great if you could update the OP to include the scripts and how to use them.

Good work, by the way!

 

[surfer63]

Is it possible to use Joying music player on Navifly fyt unit?

Yes, I already wrote a script for it. Soon to be released.
The extra functionality of the Joying player is that it is also a "folder based" media player. I don't use playlists (these Android units with removable storage are simply not "cache storage safe" enough). I have my collections in folders, for me that is enough. I modded the player a little to have a better layout in split-screen mode (well, I think it is better) and also made a "dark mode" version of the player (not switchable) because in evenings I find the screen way too bright. I tested and modded the uis7862 player and it works just as fine on my current sc9853i.

I perfectly agree with you but i have a real life and a real job too
As soon as I can i'll add all the new stuff to first 2 posts of this thread including some tips that are already in the other XDA sections/threads

EDIT: added new and updated scripts in 2 post.
