Thanks heaps for the JY Quad Core 1024x600 pre-rooted KK 4.4.4 firmware image dsa8310
Flashed it on to my unit this morning, using PowerAmp, my music automatically continues playing where it left off, once it boots up.
With KK 4.4.4 firmware which came on it, it would not do this.
Great work mate ! :good:

Radio audio quallity

uncleg said:
Exactly, the sound quality of radio is awful. I have the same issuewith radio. And causer of it bad semiconductors quality and wrong audio path circuit research. My colleagues from russian 4pda thread investigate it anf find some way how to modify hardware for better radio quality. The solution with figures will be appeared soon at 4pda forum in the header of RK3066 Android 4.2.2 thread.
In short, need to change 4 smd-capacitors and replace 2 smd-resistors. And You will hear treble from radio instead of current bathroom-sound :)

I really hope you guys can help. I have upgraded my RK3066 to the 4.4.4 with the MTC of 2.52 i think it was, and now poweramp just auto plays. I have a feeling it's built into the upgrade i did to allow the autoplay on bootup. I dont want to go back to older software but this is driving me nuts that everytime i boot up the headunit poweramp starts to play. Any help? It's the KGL unit and I downloaded the April 2015 update posted on here.

This is the exact problem im having though. Even if i am not running poweramp and i shut down my car, when i turn my car on later it opens up poweramp and starts playing music. Even if i have the radio app open it plays both. But how can you turn off auto open to poweramp upon boot up so im not having the music starting every time?!!! Hopefully you can help because this is driving me nuts.

is it worth upgrading from RK3066 to RK3188?

I have a year-old RK3066 KGL model, is it worth upgrading to the later RK3188 model with the 1024 screen as opposed to the 800 ?

I noticed on my current unit when I run the dashcam and stream music, the music breaks up some of the time, thinking the CPU is a bit taxed...

I see the unixbench scores are much higher in general for the RK3188 hardware as opposed to the RK3066 hardware...

~ 1 month ago, I did upgrade my HU (RK3066) with a RK3188 SoM . Now, for me enough good. It works fine, but boot time has't been a half time. Overall speed up can be feel, when do You use multiple apps at same time. iGO navigation with nuance TTS sound engine it runs much smoother, during also using multiple widgets of torque, listening your fav. musics, etc. like with previously use RK3066 SoM.

I read through almost all of this, and with all the firmwares and roms, I want to make sure I am doing the right thing. I bought a Pumpkin KD-C0224 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VJRGA8E/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A35ICIJD64TUP8) and overall am very happy with it. It has the following:
MCU Version: MTCB-KLD2-V2.52 April 22 2015 16:19:18
Android Version: 4.4.4_14042015
Kernal version 3.0.36+ [email protected] #1140

Just to be clear,
  • I can install any Malaysk or Coudu ROM without having to install a custom recovery by placing the rom on the GPS sd card and starting the unit? If I want to go back, is there an image of the ROM I have?
  • I am not doing it for root, I only want to use a better equalizer. The stock one is, as we all know, garbage.
  • I am not plannign on updating the MCU, but when the time comes, I can use any KDL MCU, correct? I dont have to look for a KDL2 MCU update?

Thanks everyone. Shane.

Joying JY Quad Core 800x640

Hello all. Excellent thread and ROMs as always.

I purchased a JY unit, sold as Joying on eBay. Unit works well, can't complain. I like having physical buttons, so I picked this unit - only wish I could have gotten one without the disc drive. This is Item 331538935201 on eBay if anyone is interested. I loaded one of the MLD ROMs, only issue is the notification center and weather widget in there are kinda funky.

Two quick questions... What's the best way to improve wifi connectivity? I was thinking of cracking open the unit and redoing the antenna cable to have a SMA connector on the back so I can use a better external antenna... But is there any way I can use a USB wifi adapter? I do wireless and networking stuff for a living, so I've learned how important it is to have your radio directly plugged into your antenna rather than using a long extender cable.

Second question:

Where do we stand with remapping the physical keys? I have a TV button that literally does nothing, my volume knob pushes to mute (but I also have a mute button... redundant), and would like to make at least the MEDIA key go to Spotify.

Thanks for any help, or if anyone wants to know about any details from my unit, let me know.

If anyone needs hosting for ROMs, images, etc... I have plenty of servers and bandwidth available. I'd like to give back as much as I can to you guys for working hard on making all of this.
