I spent the whole weekend working on this mod. I am very happy that I managed :)

On top of that, .9.png files s*uck.
And only right now I read the post by MMouse where says that the actual resolution is 864x555. It drove me crazy, as the version of Android studio did not match reality when installed in the HeadUnit...

Hope you like.

It was a big effort for me... as it was the first real mod.

Sooo here it is.

I upload two files for each skin, the regular one and one with prefix OEM.

Regular file --> You can install it as any regular app (it is for you to try whether you like it
OEM --> This one has to replace MTCRadio.apk in /system/app

List of skins:
MTCRadio_RallySkin.apk --> Rally app you can see in the thumbnails.
MTCRadio_RallySkin-Red.apk --> Rally skin with red background
MTCRadio_RallySkin_NameCounter.apk --> Rally skin with name of stations on the counter instead of frequency
MTCRadio_RallySkin_NameCounter-Red.apk --> Same as above but red background​


How to replace original MTCRadio
You will need adb wifi

1- copy MTCRadio_OEM_RallySkin.apk to /sdcard/
Code:
adb push MTCRadio_OEM_RallySkin.apk /sdcard/MTCRadio_OEM_RallySkin.apk
2- mount /system as rw
Code:
adb shell
mount -ro remount,rw /system
3- Force stop Radio app
Code:
Go to Setup--> apps, All apps,   tap Radio and Force Stop
4- copy MTCRadio_OEM_RallySkin.apk to /system/app
Code:
cp /sdcard/MTCRadio_OEM_RallySkin.apk /system/app/MTCRadio.apk  [COLOR="Blue"]Note the name is MTCRadio.apk[/COLOR]
5- remount /system as ro
Code:
mount -ro remount,ro /system
6- reboot the unit

Hope it helped.

I have warned you!

I am ready with my slightly modding :)
I got two Variants for you.

An Original Style with expanded space for title names
and a List-Style with LRC-View replaced by integrated playlist :)


Furthermore both Variants include corrected german translations btw :)

See Attachments!
Hint for devs: I used the one_click_tools to sign the apk instead of my own vertificate to allow modding with easy reinstalling for everyone here


To install:
take a root explorer and delete /system/app/MTCMusic.apk - BACK IT UP TO A SAFE PLACE!
Reboot device (Music App will be gone)
install my version as usual (e.g. with ApkInstaller)
Enjoy :)

MTCRadio 4.2.2 Modding

I have modded MTCRadio 4.2.2.

Bolding and coloring the RDS station name.
Smaller frequency number.
Appear radiotext information.

In root mod delete mtcradio.apk. Klikk to MTCRadio_MODKT_1.apk and after start installing process.

The Radio hard button of the HU works.

I don't try this app on the 4.4.4. Please test it!

....Is there some theme (skin) for radio / DVD / Music in addition to the one published in the first post?
TY
I made some modification on the MTCradio3 app from Coudu's 4.4.4 Rooted firmware.
I made the screen full transparency.
I like it.

How easy would it be to put a normal visual spectrum in the radio app? Maybe even with a RGB option to colorize the interface instead of being locked into red / blue etc? Awhile back I designed what I would love for the radio app to look like and this is what I came up with:

Would be willing to work with anyone on any graphics.
Let's try. Can you send me your work (it is possible in private messages)?
