New Radio and BT Mods plus minor updates

Hi, Mark. Your radio mods are beautiful, but none of them (or @surfer63 's) has this functionality the original radio apk on my unit had. It was this icon like a notepad with a pen. Clicking on it, I could add a bunch of radio stations to a list. That is a better way to store stations, since I can store more than 5 and switch between then. Would it be possible to implement this on one of your mods?

I'm attaching a picture so you can see what I'm talking about. At first I thought the floppy disk icon would do this, but it does nothing.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

First of all: Do you really have a FYT unit? If not, the FYT mods will not work.
Secondly: all FYT radios have the exact same icon. You can swipe the bottom icon-bar from left to right.

Hi, @surfer63. Thanks for answering.

I had to go down to the garage and test it, because I couldn't believe it would not occur to me to test and dra it to the left. Alas, it's there! I feel so stupid... Now I will see if I can edit the code so thie icon is on the first screen. Thank you very much.

(Yes, it is a FYT unit. I have Joying Extra Tools installed and everything, you heven helped me back in 2019 or 18 changing some scripts due to mine being a Zhan model. )

Hi, wondering if mine is an FYT or compatible. Pretty new to this. There is an FYT folder on the unit, but it is empty. This if the file from HWGetInfo.apk

Which file is from the HWGetInfo.apk?
From the image it looks like a FYT. However, you have an outside temperature of -40 C??? I guess you have to check your CANbus settings.

Next to that: the Joying Extra Tools is not for the 7862 anymore. It is for older versions like the sc9853i/PX5/Sofia3GR.

OK, so how do I know if my joying unit is FYT etc ? And if any of the mods mentioned are useable for me? I am also very new to this and floundering.
As I have tried to say elsewhere my unit is 10.1" SKU JY-UQS10N4G-H and the pic is the MCU and android version, so given my Bluetooth problems and video sound drop-outs are there any mods that may help me? Thanks for any help for this newbie.

 

[surfer63]

No, this apk is meant for the older units like the sc9853i/PX5/Sofia-3GR

I have two canbus options, both show that temp. Maybe I'll have to research that more.
I was hoping to find a firmware/mod I could use, as I don't like the one that comes with mine, and would like to make it landscape instead of vertical. Are you saying there are no custom firmwares for 7862, or that the HWGetInfo.apk only works on the older, or that the Joying Extra Tools specifically won't work on it? I appreciate it, as I said I am fairly new to this, so please forgive me if I am asking something that is silly/obvious to someone with more experience.

The HWGetInfo.apk did not automatically zip the files, so I just put the four in my own zip here:https://www.dropbox.com/s/gwxm1g56skw7fsq/lsec6315update.zip?dl=0

You ask a lot of questions at the same time.
Why do you use dropbox? You can easily attach images and files to posts.

1. First explain what you mean with "I was hoping to find a firmware/mod I could use, as I don't like the one that comes with mine". Do you want it pink, or "super hero" styled icons? Please explain what you want.
2. Do you have a Tesla style unit or a rotable screen? If it is Tesla system, why do you want landscape? And if it is rotable, does it not rotate automatically? Next to that: On a Tesla style screen you can also use the split-screen function, to do an top-bottom split.
3. There are modded firmwares, not custom firmwares. See the "PeaceOS" thread about the modded appplication layer from @LLIyT_HuK .
4. You are posting in the Joying Extra Tools thread. That one is for older units.
5. HWGetInfo.apk is a general purpose apk, that will work on any FYT on any Android version (so far). HWGetInfo "gets info" about your unit.
5. Your packed zip ("my own zip") contains part of a firmware, namely the application layer. What is it that you want?

2a. The "ro.sf.swrotation=270" gives the rotation of the unit. This 270 value normally indicates it is a Joying unit or a Tesla unit. If you change this value to 90 or 180, your screen will rotate.

Hey there,
If you get a moment could you look at my thread and perhaps give some insight into what i can install versus what i can't.
I'd be appreciative!

Thank you for your help, I appreciate it. I am learning.
I used dropbox because when I tried to directly attach it, I got a message saying my post was too long, and it wouldn't let me post it. I hadn't written much, so I assumed it meant the attachments were too big. I deleted the attachments, and linked to the files instead and it sent then, so I assumed that was the issue.

I have a Tesla style screen, but it does not work well for me because it is tilted slightly away from me, making the top of the screen uncomfortable to interact with when driving (I have to lean forward and to the side. See pic. Also, some apps aren't optimized or that orientation. I have parking sensors and the image shows landscape so it is not intuitive when it says I'm close to something on my right side because it shows on the top left. AA is only landscape in the middle of the screen w/black bars top and bottom. I want to redesign the facia so the unit is physically portrait (and swtich application layer to match) to solve these issues, but also so I can use my pre-existing car's smaller nav screen as a dedicated 360 camera display above and behind my android unit. I can set it up to show l/r camera when I use my turn signal, which would be nice because I don't have blind spot monitoring, but also don't want it interrupting the android screen every time. I also got an ODB sensor, but am having issues connecting to it, and wonder if more configurable options might give blutooth options in the system menu (only have wifi currently).

To begin to see if it is possible to mod the firmware I wanted to see what unit I actually had, and discovered that TS10 and FYT are similiar, so I wanted to figure out which I had so I could look for the right rom so I don't brick it. Your post with your apk said it might help begin to learn what I have, so that is where I started. Also, I liked the idea of backing it up in case I mess something up.

Most landscape screens are 1280x720, the newer 2000x1200 and the older ones 1024x600.
A lot of those Tesla screen have a slightly different formfactor and are 1024x768, but newer also 200x"something".
Make sure you get a firmware that can correctly show the FYT firmware on a Tesla screen in landscape mode with a slightly different formfactor.
Normal Android apps have no problem with this, but the FYT apps are still very archaic when it comes to auto-scaling.

The orientation itself is simply done by a property which can be easily set: For most landscape screen it is 90 (ro.sf.swrotation=90), and for Joying mostly 270 (do they have it in landscape but upside down ?)

And this 90 degrees is because phones are by default in portrait mode, so to get a landscape orientation for "normal" head units we have to rotate it 90 degrees.

For that reason, Tesla screens have mostly 0 degrees or 180 degrees. Please check your system, or if you have an original firmware simply check the config.txt

dual screen: In the past I have seen users doing that. I have absolutely no knowledge about that.

Thank you. That info about resolution is helpful to be aware of. I would not have known that some firmware might have an issue with my resolution. Glad to know it's possible to do what I want. Now I just have play around with it some. I appreciate you supporting me through this phase of my journey.
