Valentine YaV1 a success!! Some said it wasn't possible but it is!! - MTCB Android Head Units General

Pretty easy actually.
1. Set you pairing pin on HU to 1234 and connect to your bluetooth dongle. (Reboot after changing pin)
2. Install ExposedMTC and enable. (This and # 3 may NOT be necesarry) VERIFIED this is not necesarry
3. In ExposedMTC under BTOBD Device string type in the name of your device. VERIFIED this is not necesarry
4. reboot your device
5. Install and set mac address in YaV1
6. Profit!
Note, if you use an OBDII adapter for Torque there is some weirdness that I've not looked into yet but as of right now it appears you use either torque adapter or V1. For most that's not an issue but i'm just letting you know.
You're welcome

HELP ME!! For the life of me I can't get mine to show up as an OBD like yours. I'm not sure if you'll ever see this but HOPEFULLY you will...

What device are you using?

I'm running Malaysk 4.4. I've also got an alternate bluetooth app. However, my XposedMTC doesn't seem to be working, as I tried the BT override to no avail. Here's a link to the unit I bought: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Android-5-1-1-Quad-Core-1024-600-Fit-Subaru-WRX-2014-2015-2016-Car-DVD/32756059889.html?ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_1_116_10065_117_10068_114_115_113_10000007_10084_10083_10080_10082_10081_10060_10061_10062_10056_10055_10037_10054_10059_10032_10099_10078_10079_10077_10073_10097_10100_10096_10070_10052_10050_424_10051,searchweb201603_8&btsid=3895a7cf-4949-4962-8cc6-4129db37fb47

WiFi printing using PrinterShare

So, I figured that I would post a confirmation that states that while using my NC and PrinterShare from the market I can print documents over my WiFi connection at home!
I was not sure if this would work, and it took the NC a bit to see the WiFi printer, but it works. I am going to purchase the full version now that I know that it works.
This NC gets cooler and cooler, day after day!
I am wondering if something can develop a way to auto-print documents that have been waiting in a queue. For example if I am at work, select 4 documents that need printing, and then the NC would send them to the printer once I connect to my home WiFi?
There is a hack that can send documents from any device to any online printer.
It's not too complicated - as long as both are linked to the same Dropbox account. You would just need to install a script in your Dropbox, then any documents you want to print would be uploaded to that folder.
I don't have the link (sorry) but I'll look for it... I'll post it when I find it .-)
Ok - found it... I think it might be windows only.
(These are just links that I've found... All credit goes to the original author)
First, you need a dropbox account. You would need to have it linked to your Nook and your computer with a printer.
If you don't already have one, feel free to use my link: http://db.tt/1lAXHf7
(There's all sorts of other things you can do with Dropbox, but this is one of the better ones for the Nook... as far as I can tell)
Here's the link to show you how to install the script:
http://www.labnol.org/internet/print-from-mobile-phones/17827/
I attached the zip file with the script, hope it helps!
This works (dropbox option). Just printed a document. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, the application works for me, I opted for the wrz version.
The dropbox version works for mac and linux too, you just need the script. I can not find the link now but I Googled dropbox printing and found a page that links to the mac and linux scripts. I tried the linux one.
thanks for the dropbox method it worked.
u can find the mac script here http://www.labnol.org/tech/print-files-on-remote-mac/17838/. and the linux script here http://www.labnol.org/software/print-files-on-linux/17841/

I was wondering if you or anyone could help me troubleshoot my setup. I have a brother mfc-j270w that is listed as a supported device on the printershare home page. I also have a rooted nc with no overclock and only modified location service files. It will see the printer and even show that the printing has been spooled and completed. The printer shows receiving the job, feeds the paper, but prints nothing.
I would assume that the printer firmware isn't compatible with the printershare drivers, but I've ran the same test from my Droid 2 and it works like a charm.
Any ideas?

Ok, so I think I've figured it out. It had to have been an IP address conflict. I set the printer to a static IP address and it seems to be working fine now. Also, the setup I'm striving for involves networking through wireless tether on my Droid 2. I have to make sure that I connect the nc immediately after starting the wireless tether app so that su is still active. For some reason, the su permissions seem to time out after a bit, but it never causes any interruption in wifi service. I can also get it to refresh the su permission and allow the nc to connect just by turning the screen back on. Is this normal?

The fact that the su privilege seems to come back when the screen is turned back on makes me think it may have something to do with the Superuser app being cached/inactive by Android (after some inactivity)?
You could check the Superuser Log and see if it shows another "allowed" entry after waking the screen?
Just throwing out ideas.

[GUIDE] Reverse Tethering Wildfire --> Internet Pass Through

My First Guide. Hope it Helps..
HOW TO REVERSE TETHER YOUR PHONE / INTERNET PASS THROUGH​
Reverse Tethering / Internet Pass through is the method in which you can make your android phone use the internet connection of your computer without a WIFI and by using a usb cable. It is helpful for those people who don’t have a WIFI at their place and for those who don’t have a good internet plan for their mobile.
BASIC REQUIREMENTS​
Rooted Phone With S-OFF
SuperUser [QR Code]
BusyBox [QR Code]
Terminal Emulator [QR Code]
Windows O.S. [I am using Win-7]
USB Cable for your phone
THE PROCESS​
Connect Your Android Phone to your PC. Make sure you are rooted and have terminal emulator installed. Turn on USB Tethering from
SETTINGS -> WIRELESS AND NETWOKRS -> TETHERING AND PORTABLE HOTSPOT -> USB TETHERING.
Screen
Next you will get a new connection in your PC. Open Networking and Sharing Center from
CONTROL PANEL -> NETWORK AND SHARING CENTER
You get a scene in a similar manner.
Screen
Now There will be one connection which will be your Main Net Connection and the Other one will be your Android Phone’s Created Connection for tethering. Click on your main net connection i.e. the one you use for Connecting to net Local Area Connection(in my case).
You will get the following screen.
Screen
Now click on Properties.After this click on sharing and tick on Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s internet connection and click ok for any dialog box shown and click ok to come back to the main networking screen.
Screen
Now click on the new connection made by the android phone Local Area Connection 2 (in my case)
You will get the following screen
Screen
Click on properties. Then go to Internet Protocol version 4(TCP/IPv4) and click on properties.
Screen
Now You need to enter 192.168.2.1 in IP address and enter 255.255.255.0 in Subnet mask and keep remaining things empty.
Screen
PART ON THE PHONE​
NOTE:- ALL CODES HAVE TO BE WRITTEN WITHOUT QUOTES
Open Android Terminal on the Phone and type "su". Provide it superuser permissions.
Screen
Now type “ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.0”
Screen
“busybox route delete default”
Screen
You may get an error here but it does not matter.
Now type “iptables –F –t nat”(* -F in caps is must)
Then type “busybox route add default gw 192.168.2.1”
Screen
“setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8”
Next (setprop “net.gprs.http-proxy” “” ) [*Note :- here the code is written in bracket to avoid confusion.. The quotes(“”) are required.
Screen
CONGRATS.... YOU ARE DONE!!
RESULTS​
Works on Android Browser.(FOR ME)
Works on Opera & Opera Mini.
Works on XDA Premium App.
DOES NOT Work on Android Market.(Finding a Solution... if anyone gets it working please tell)
You may need to repeat this process each time you connect the phone to PC.
Works even without a SIM inserted.
Nice guide
To enable the market click settings under the sharing tab and add a new service called market with the port number 5228.
how use other app for internet
No resolution
currently m using a wildfire and cannot switch on USB tethering until mobile network is connected followed all the steps but no luck
I am also a wildfire user. I did so many searching for reverse usb tethering, what I searched for were similar to the script of this thread. I follow all the steps but also not success.
I did do some searching, I just GUESS the main problem is the router at my home. My computer access the modem via router, maybe the router cannot give my WF a IP so my WF cannot access the internet? I dunno.
I didn't try access the internet with my computer connecting directly via modem without router since my home wire connection is so so so so complicated, but I believe that it will success. Would somebody try it and share your experience?
I think you can write a batch file for this. Using netsh and adb it would be easily done just from PC
thanks for the guide worked for me.
Problem though is that after i turned off the tethering and disconnected my phone from the pc then reconnect it again just to check if it works the 2nd time, if found that usb tethering is having an error and does not turn on.
question is how to disable this or how i disconnect my phone from pc the right way? well after restarting, tethering is again ok and
I did it on linux!
The configuration on the PC is next:
Code:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -s 192.168.2.1/24 -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADE
On the phone same az you did, but I had to edit
Code:
setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8
to match my DNS server i.e.
Code:
setprop net.dns1 87.120.131.2
worked !!!!!!!!!!!!!
After about two months of searching I finally found this guide which makes it work. Thanks a lot! Surfing everything is fine but downloads just don't start (market or browser) I'm using G2x by the way so I guess this should work for most people.

[APP] Send directions to OnStar

Not sure who this will or will not be of use to but I wrote a little script to import directions from Google Maps on my N4 to my truck.
This is an automation macro that runs on your computer to process the location info sent from your phone and imports it into OnStar.
Here's how to set it up:
1. Install and log in to Dropbox on your computer and your phone.
2. Install Firefox and the iMacros Firefox add-on on your computer.
3. Login to OnStar.com with Firefox on your computer and check the "Remember Me" box.
4. Run the attached program which will install a background monitor app and handle your imports.
When you're ready to send a location to your vehicle go to your phone and do this:
1. Click Share.
2. Share to Dropbox.
3. Make sure you're in the top folder in your Dropbox and click Upload.
4. Leave the file name as the default "myfile.txt" and click OK.
5. Wait about 1 minute for processing to complete.
6. In your vehicle press the OnStar hands-free calling button and say "Virtual Advisor"
7. OnSar will inform you that you have one saved destination named "Android Destination" and ask if you'd like directions there. Say yes.
Done. Your vehicle is now routing you to your destination.
Here's a video of the computer side scripts running if you want to see it run.
Let me know what you think and if anyone actually find this useful.

Linux Bluetooth Connect to Google Home Speaker?

I have had no problem doing a bluetooth connect of my Android phone to my Google Home Mini, but had not luck with my Linux laptop. The laptop sees the mini's device name, but setup from the bluetooth GUI fails.
If I run bluetoothclt on Linux, the info command can read the minis device characteristic, but when I tell it to pair it ultimately times out with an authentication error. Sometimes Linux will ask for a PIN which I'm supposed to verify on the device, sometimes it doesn't. When it does the standard PINS (0000, 1234, 1111) don't work.
Has anyone got this to work on Linux?
Hi,
Did you check the Google Home app. There's a pin mentioned in Menu -> Devices, maybe you could try that? While I did not have any issues pairing, but I wasn't able to connect to the speaker. The following link helped. Maybe you could follow the steps in the link below and then try connecting? Link:

I can't see any reference to PIN. Maybe you are using the iphone app (I don't have one).

It's under the "Guest Mode" option. When you turn "Guest Mode" on, it will create a pin and display it in the Google Home app for that speaker.

Have you gotten this to work with Linux? "Hey Google turn on Bluetooth" will only work after the workstation has already paired. "Hey Google Start Bluetooth Pairing" has to be done first, and that almost never succeeds (at least from Ubuntu).

I thought you had it working on Linux and gave you some detailed internal version info for comparison.. As far as the Bluetooth Spec itself, the Bluez version number is whats relevant. Bluez implements Bluetooth 5.0 and is explicitly compatible with Bluetooth 4.2

Question bluetooth metadata and controls not available

I have a 2012 Toyota Highlander, coming from a Galaxy S10+ where the metadata and controls came through to the stereo. I recently upgraded to the Pixel 7 and had a hard enough time just getting bluetooth to connect to the car. Now I can play through the stereo just fine, but can't control the music nor see metadata. This was working perfectly on the S10+. My screen doesn't even populate with the areas where Title/Artist/Album etc should be, it just shows a play and pause button (which actually work). I've tried multiple apps (spotify, Youtube, podcast app), no metadata. I've tried all versions of AVRCP and MAP on the phone, rebooted and reconnected, still no metadata. I have Bluetooth Volume Manager installed, though I don't see how that would affect anything.
I know many people are having this issue, but is there no resolution other than "it works for me"?
Have you tried to use Android Auto for your connection to your car. It certainly works using a USB cable connection between my car and my Pixel 7. I play all of my music from my phone and also from the radio while driving using the app.

I can't even get Android Auto to run. It's updated in the Play Store, but no way to run it!
Have you done the setup process to link your car with the Android Auto app? I don't have a Toyota; so things may be different on you vehicle. However, when I was setting up my Android Auto; I had to go into the car's menu to set the proper access. You might check your car's Manuel regarding WiFi, Bluetooth, etc. connection authorizations. See if that helps.

I don't know what setup process there is, but my Toyota is almost 11 years old, from before AA was released. The manual isn't terribly helpful much like the stereo settings. I had A Galaxy S5, LG V30, and a Galaxy S10+, all worked no issues with the stereo. I feel like the NVRCP isn't working properly.
Any more suggestions? Is there an app that can send the correct NVRCP stream to the car? Or something where I can test to see if it's working?

Can you, Have you opened Android Auto on you cellphone? If yes, you must sync you phone with the car's Bluetooth or by USB cable. If you car is visible, set the sync to you car. If no, I've got nothing else.

Again, I can't open Auto directly on my phone, it doesn't have an icon. I can find it in the apps list and the Play Store, but can't run it alone.
One last shot.
On you phone; go to the play store.
Click on you image in the upper right of the screen. That should take you to your Google Apps management screen.
Click on Manage apps & device. At the top of the screen you should have two choices "Overview" and "Manage". Click on "Manage".
Click on "installed". That should bring up a full list of all the apps that are installed on your phone; including Android Auto.
Click on Android Auto. That will open your Android Auto app.
Click on "What's New". Will give you a lot to read about both what's new but a lot of links including one to a list of compatible cars.
Follow the instructions and you should be able to find your car if it is compatible.
During this search you will also come across a page with "how to use android auto.
You might want to do some more searching on your own thru those pages as well.

One last shot.
On you phone; go to the play store.
Click on you image in the upper right of the screen. That should take you to your Google Apps management screen.
Click on Manage apps & device. At the top of the screen you should have two choices "Overview" and "Manage". Click on "Manage".
Click on "installed". That should bring up a full list of all the apps that are installed on your phone; including Android Auto.
Click on Android Auto. That will open your Android Auto app.
Click on "What's New". Will give you a lot to read about both what's new but a lot of links including one to a list of compatible cars.

So the problem with trying this is it doesn't open. It is installed, but when I click on AA in step 4 above, it just takes me to the page in the store where I can uninstall/install updates to the app. I can't actually run it. I'm not in the beta either. WTF
Have you tried clearing Android Auto's data? Pixel Settings, Apps, See all apps, Android Auto, Storage & cache, Clear Storage.

Again, I can't open Auto directly on my phone, it doesn't have an icon. I can find it in the apps list and the Play Store, but can't run it alone.

You can open Android Auto if you head to the Settings menu and search Android Auto. It will pop as the first result. From there you can connect with your car using a USB cable, or if you want the Wireless, you have to head all the way down to the About section and click on Version like 7 or 9 times until the developer menu pops (accessible through the 3 dots menu on the right top corner)

I can get into the Android Auto settings, but can't actually launch it. WTF?! Should I uninstall it completely though something like Titanium Backup then install from the store?
