Both hal9 and malaysk want you to update to PAID versions of their buggy wares.
I upgraded from Android 9 stock to Android 9 Malysk Mod.
I had so much problem with the GPS on both Android 9.
I upgraded to Stock Android 10 as soon as it became available (20200624).
Wow all is good quick and GPS is working very very good.

Thanks for the answer, but unfortunately in peugot 207 it is resolved differently. There, the parameters of the settings, e.g. air conditioning, are displayed on a different display. In the Peugeot 407, everything is displayed in one display. After installing the android radio, these settings are displayed on it. Appropriate programs are installed to support these functions. That's why I asked if they will be deleted if I decide to install this rom. Maybe they are written elsewhere, come on I doubt. I would take a risk if I had the original rom from this radio, I don't know if it's possible to make a backup. Regards
I'm currently using Hal9K V5. Was thinkining about trying a Malaysk ROM.
So, which alternative do you recommend?
Yesterday i did a reset on the Hal v5. rom - so far so good with my head unit.
Hal9k rom 5.1.0 is more stable than latest malaysk 's rom.
Tested one week, so far no terrible issues
Hi Boys
I still have a problem with Android Webviewer. I uninstalled updates, uninstalled chrome but the problem persists. Unfortunately, after a few restarts this Android Webviewer poop app reactivates itself and crashes waze, maps and other apps.
How should I solve? I am desperate!

Are you sure that you posted in the right thread?
Hey, does anyone one know if i have to turn on a preamp in the software to get an amp and subs to work? I’m not getting any signal. Everything looks good to me.

Sometimes it downloads with an error, try downloading it again.
Format the sd card to fat32. Try another card or USB flash drive. Or the currently installed update is newer than the one you want to install. Downgrading via OTA android 10 is a problem. The only way back is to install older firmware using IMG and then update with OTA. Here's how to install IMG:

How do I install the firmware?
When switching from any other firmware, you need to wipe user data!
For stable operation of the device, it is recommended to update the MCU firmware to the current one, released in March 2021 or later.
If there is no such firmware for your device, use the latest available one.
MCU firmware can be obtained from your radio dealer or look here
MTCE versions can be installed instead of MTCD
If you have Android 10 installed:
The installation is similar to a regular firmware update:
- Copy the firmware file update.zip to a USB flash drive / memory card formatted in FAT32
- Connect the USB flash drive / memory card to the device
- Set the "Wipe data ..." checkbox and click the "Install" button in the window that appears.
- After installation, the device will automatically reboot one more time to complete the Magisk installation.
If you have Android 9, 8 or 6 installed:
Requires updating the recovery version to Android10
- Simple and safe way: Use the ModInstaller Pro application (link to the application in the readme.txt file, which is located in the archive with the firmware or in my signature at the bottom of this post)
- Complicated and unsafe way: look for information on this forum
Automatic backlight control for PX5-based head units
Internet speed in status bar
Q: How to get OTA updates?
A: Information is on my site. You will find the link in the archive with firmware or in my signature at the bottom of this post
Q: How to automatically install my applications after installing the firmware?
A: Create the hct folder on the flash drive with the firmware, the apk folder in it and put your apk in it. They will be automatically installed after the installing the firmware.
Q: How to connect the OBD adapter?
A: This can be done both from the Bluetooth application, and from the Bluetooth item in the settings. The main thing - before you click on the adapter found, you must wait until the scan finished. Wait until the spinning circle disappears in the Bluetooth application or until the inscription "Search..." changes to the inscription "Refresh" in Settings. Then pairing goes smoothly. If the phone is already connected, you will need to temporarily disconnect it.
Q: How to start any application from a button on the steering wheel?
A: Mod settings - Manage applications - Applications that run instead of the stock . Assign any of the six applications that you don’t use to the button, then choose a replacement for it in the form of some kind of player, for example. This button will start your player
Q: Bluetooth MD725 does not work, although everything worked before!
A: If the MD725 Bluetooth module is installed in your HU, then it will not work in Android 10. The reason is that its driver was removed from Android 10.
Q: How do I know if I have such a Bluetooth module?
A: On the first page of the factory settings, in item BT, MD725 is selected.
Q: Bluetooth SD-968 does not work, although everything worked in Android 8!
A: If the SD-968 Bluetooth module with firmware made in March 2017 or earlier is installed in your HU, then it works in Android 8, but does not work in Android 9 and 10.
Solution: replace the module driver /system/bin/sdsdk968 with the old version. Do not forget to set permissions 755 on the file.
Or replace the module with another type
Q: Unable to connect to some WiFi access points. (iOS 15)
A: Read this postBluetooth module MD725 not working in Android 10
Mod is a modified factory firmware.
I can only be responsible for the changes in the device that I made. All of them are listed in the "List of changes" section.
Everything else, both good and bad, is inherited from the factory firmware.
I try to fix bugs found in the stock, but this I can’t always do it.
If you do not agree with this, do not install this firmware.Download:
PX5: Google Drive (english version)
PX6: Google Drive (english version)
PX30: Google Drive (english version)
If you want to help translate Mod into your language, please open this folder.
When you decide to place your translation in this folder, send me a personal message with your Google email. I will give you access.
If you think we need to translate other applications, write to me about it. I will add resources to the folder.13Hi Hal9k,
Just wanted to say thanks for making this. I know that doing such things is a huge amount of work and even doing "small" things from the user's perspective can be days of effort.
I have installed the mod using your mod installer, spent the past hour reinstalling everything and setting it up just the way I like it. No drama, no issues. It just worked and now I have a newer version of Android installed which runs a little faster.
People tend to only comment here if they are having issues. I blame human nature. I just wanted to tip the balance a little in the other direction with this comment.
To anyone else reading this: just pay for the updates if you like it. It's €10 for some excellent software which clearly has a lot of effort and love spent on it, and is a fantastic deal.13
I read all the messages. And not only on this forum.
But, unfortunately, there is not always time to answer everyone.7
That's really not fair to @Hal9k_
Saying "flopped" is attacking the character, not addressing the issues. It's not OK here.
If there are issues these would need to be detailed.
List these out, include your experience.7
You can take part in the apps translation. See the first post.
I don't have your app, so write in more detail and make a video so I can see what's going on there.
@okij Thanks, added to the first post.
Note:
If you installed update 5.1.0 today and have a problem with Magisk v24:
OTA packages updated tonight.
You need to reinstall 5.0.0 and updates. Without a wipe data!
With a next install of the 5.1.0 package, Magisk data will be cleared and it will work fine.
