Software Development Modded syu.ms.apk

[seb21]

Hi all.
This syu.ms.apk mod main function is to extend control of steering wheel controls (CAN based) plus some extra.
It is two part mod :
- factory com.syu.ms.apk must be replaced with this modded syu.ms.apk - easiest way is to use lsec mathod . If you don't know how see post #15
- Mod Config App (install like every apk ) - the configuration tool for this mod.
For more information please read user manual.txt

Change log :
- added possibility to assign intents to buttons.
- Config App : added UI for vertical screens
26.01.2023 :
- added possibility to use up to 5 different user apps lists
- added possibility to use you own order of app in the carousel.
- added external assets files. I attached a zip file with all used assets. - This is based on @mariodantas idea
01.02.2023
- added system property for @mariodantas project.
17.02.2023
Only the syu.ms.apk !!!
- added a intent receiver to inject system wide key events.

I also decide to put here a test version with ability to assign to SWC screen touch actions. Info about this is text file inside the .zip

As there is no point to maintain two different versions of syu.ms.apk files i will use the newest, for now is from the joying firmware (04-11-2022)

For now i am working on rewriting the whole settings app.
For translations thanks to :
@muzoss - German
@daviddosa - Hungarian
@mariodantas - French
@surfer63 - Dutch

Hi @seb21 nice idea to open a new thread as it is a complete project

can you please tell me what did you improve in com.syu.ms related to your previous version ? (SORRY IS IN THE CHANGELOG LOLOLOL)

Cheers !

@seb21 I think this one is still killing apps

public static void h(String str) { ActivityManager n = ae.n(); try { if (str.startsWith(":")) { str = str.substring(0, str.indexOf(":")); } if (!p.a(str)) { k(str); n.forceStopPackage(str); a.o.c.a(str); } } catch (Exception e2) { e2.printStackTrace(); } }

And i have a question. Maybe someone of you can help me.
I try to make my dashboard display to show navigational data (distance,directions, e.t.c) - so far no success. I have 2 canbus boxes : simplesoft (XP) and raise (RZC) .Do someone of you know a place where i can get the full functions list for the canboxes ???

Thank you so much for the tag, and also for the modified apk. Can't wait to try it out tomorrow.

As for your question:
Does that kind of dashboard panel support the displaying of the navigation data? Even if it looks like it should, there could be different hardware and software revisions of the display with different functionalities.
When I upgraded my display first time in my Peugeot 308, I made a mistake of not checking the actual software number on the back of the new unit. While some of the functionality was present, I wasn't able to connect the radio bluetooth (yes, the radio, which is a separate unit) because of the old software on the display.

Yes,it does. I have Leon 3 and with the original multimedia station i had the possibility to display navigational data on the dashboard. As i switched to android unit first i had simplesoft canbox and i was able to send media info but not navi nor compass. On their web site (only chinese) there is info that my canbox can send navi data to the dashboard. But there are not one piece of documentation. Now i have raise and from start the compass started working but still no navi.

It's not.
killAppWhenSleep() -> KillAllAppButSome() -> killApp(String)
Class aj n() -> o() -> h(String)
I call in n() my method that calls (or not) o()
I'm using h(String) to kill aps in the user sources (kill switch)
I see the difference on my unit. When i switch on No Kill then after evrey sleep my unit is performing boot, probably because i have low end unit UIS 8581 with only 2 gigs of RAM.

Hi all.
I decided to make separate thread with my modded ms.apk.

@surfer63 Please change the link in your first post. I will no longer clutter your thread. It is to help people with different problems.

I changed the link.

Thanks for this great contribution.
I don't consider something this useful as cluttering of "my" thread, but it is indeed better to separate it so that your app gets the attention it deserves.

I have read somewhere about a person who had an arduino connected to read all CANbus codes. I already searched frantically the last hour, but could not find it. I will continue my search.

 

[mariodantas]

New contrib, French strings translation (values-fr/strings.xml)

Thanks. Config App is updated.

But don't waste your time on this. I have searched this forum on every topic related to canboxes and i have not found nothing that could help me. Beside this can loggers is not what I'm looking for. Unfortunately canbox functions having nothing common with can bus commands - different canboxes have different command ID for the same can bus commands ID

 

[mariodantas]

Thanks. Config App is updated.

Thanks to you fellow for this amazing project !

And the Dutch translation.

I have the idea that "User Apk" is not yet a translatable string (but I suppose everyone can translate that)

And the original English <string name="Out_Of_Range">Argument of out integer range !!!</string>
should be "Argument out of integer range", but personally I would have used "Argument outside integer range"

Thanks. File updated.
And i also added whole buttons names list to strings file.
Thanks for pointing me this mistake.

Does anyone know how one would install this? And other note would this allow me to change the default action from pressing the volume button on the car. right now it turns off the screen. but leaves the sound on. If i press the power button on the radio itself on the side it turns the screen off AND mutes it. Thats what I want the volume button to do. Just like it used to do with the OEM radio.

I have packed everything into this ZIP file. All you need to do is to unpack it directly onto a FAT32 formatted USB drive, plug the drive into your headunit, and wait for it to install.

The installer will make a copy of the original file into the "backup" folder.
In case something goes wrong, and you want to restore the original file, all you need to do is to copy the files 7862lsec.sh and 8581lsec.sh from lsec_updatesh\restore_script to lsec_updatesh to replace the already existing ones.
Once done, just unplug and plug back in the USB storage and wait for it to complete.

Spoiler: Used commands

If you want to write the code for yourself, use the commands below.
Save it as 7862lsec.sh and also as 8581lsec.sh

Copy modified to system

#make backup to "backup" folder on USB storage
cp -rf /oem/app/190000000_com.syu.ms/190000000_com.syu.ms.apk  /storage/sdcard1/backup/190000000_com.syu.ms.apk

#copy modded file from USB storage to headunit
cp -rf /storage/sdcard1/190000000_com.syu.ms_modded.apk /oem/app/190000000_com.syu.ms/190000000_com.syu.ms.apk

#set ownership and permissions
chown -R 0.0 /oem/app/190000000_com.syu.ms/190000000_com.syu.ms.apk
chmod 0755 /oem/app/190000000_com.syu.ms
chmod 0644 /oem/app/190000000_com.syu.ms/190000000_com.syu.ms.apk

Restore original

#restore backup from "backup" folder
cp -rf /storage/sdcard1/backup/190000000_com.syu.ms.apk /oem/app/190000000_com.syu.ms/190000000_com.syu.ms.apk

You can't change the functions of Vol Up and Vol Down buttons, all others buttons you can change.

its the volume up volume down knob but if you press it . oem radio would turn off the oem radio. With this head unit it leaves the volume on and turns off the screen. Would like it to mute and turn off the screen the android unit power button on the top left if i touch that it turns off the screen and mutes.

When you install the app and also the modified app, you will be able to see what action is assigned to the volume button press. It's only the volume up and volume down actions which are locked, the rest should be configurable.
Do you have a CANBUS decoder, or you had to connect the Key1 Key2 wires?

It's easy to install using the method in my previous post, and also gives you a backup in case something goes wrong.

Pressing the volume knob sends signal Black Screen (or something like that), and yes you can assign to it function Power

I have a canbus decoder . Silly Dodge Journey. Without a decoder I was stuck with a OEM radio.
