Here is a small teaser though:

Looks promising!

Hello friends,

I am looking for help to convert a boot animation + sound splash.img file already ready to the new HD screens please?

The link of the file to convert from 1280x480 to 1280x720P please:

https://1fichier.com/?fz2ir95jpi4hj9chjht3

You just have to enlarge the images of the .zip?

What about the splah.img?

Few things:
1. Boot animation with sound is not possible to my knowledge - I tested it before and it was dead silent.
2. It's 1920x720 - 1280x720 resolution doesn't exist on these units.
3. You can try to convert 1280x480 to 1920x720 images but most likely it will look bad. Create a new animation or use one of mine - all available in both 480p and 720p.
4. I don't know if you were planning to use the file that you uploaded byt there are many things wrong with it: size, compression, folder structure.
5. For splash image create an image that is 1920x720 and use splash image tool.

Thank you for your answer friend

- I don't want to put sound at startup
- Thank you for your animation files
- It's fine 1920X720P I made a mistake
- The tool for converting the first page converted to 1280x480, so I don't not know how to convert this image to 1920x720 "splash.img"

EDIT:
I put my video in a light format of 1920x720P, now if you know how to convert the file above to splash.img all that is left is "the folder structure" to reformat from what you told me.

Your bootanimation.zip is zip 2.0 format, not 1.0.
You can check this by yourself when you check the file properties.
If you use 7zip do only "store" and don`t add/delete files afterwards.
If using Winrar you also need to uncheck the Exact time box (don`t know the exact string) at the "Time" tab.

Hello friends,
How can I import the splash.img file to the device to be able to select it from the menu later ?
Thx

Thank you friend Kri,

I modified the structure of my files, I resized, and I created a custom splah.img file (this is for a friend in France)

According to this file:

https://1fichier.com/?yhhmwze0dxk1exoqy422

is it good this time please?

Create your logos, put them in mylogo.zip on the root of your USB stick, plug in to your HU, go to menu where you can select boot logos, press import and you're done. Now you can select one of your own logos.

[F20_M135i]

Thanks for your help friend!

Do the names of the files in the mylogo.zip have to be specific? The mylogo.zip must be in version 1.0 also?

Otherwise, I found help with the reconversion of my file thanks to the bootanimation.exe tool which extracts the videos (mp4) of your choice (they must be short!)

[F20_M135i]

I noticed that in our 1280x480 units we had two folders part0 and part1 and that inside the images were in .png against part0 only and .jpg images

So

The 1920x720 units in addition to having a better definition of image may have smaller, higher quality bootanimation.zip files

It doesn’t matter if these are jpg or png form playback point of view – Android will treat these the same way regardless. What matters is that the complete boot animation doesn’t exceed 20MB. The program you showed in your previous post, Lucky Boot Animator, I don’t like it – it produces low quality images and does a poor job with converting videos to images.

Hi,
I created my own logo.img
I packed it into mylogo.zip and uploaded it to the / OEM directory on the pen.
In the settings, I did "import" and then I received the message "imported successfully".
After turning on the android, I don't have this logo or any other that was on Page 2.
What am I doing wrong?

Second question...
How do I import ready-made profiles and tasks into Tasker?
Can it be done without root?

Honestly I never paid much attention to that, I just set a single splash image and I don't change that. Sorry just don't know how this should be structured exactly. Did you use 7zip and level of compression "store"?

As for Tasker, for it to properly run it needs root.

Hi Mirjam. It's Android 10 unit with the newest software. In the GUI setting, I selected 'aftermarket amplifier' or something similar. As result, I can control the volume of android GUI, and it actually works, makes the GUI volume lover on AUX output, but at the same time, it still controls the original radio volume, which I really don't mind because I'm not using it. Just for PDC sound in rear speakers, front one goes from Android -> DAC -> aftermarket processor -> amplifiers.
Would be good to cut the volume control for the original radio, but the most important for me is to get Steering Wheel Control buttons to work with Android master volume.

Thanks, I'll play around with tasker and hopefully sort it out :-)
a pity that Android unit doesn't have digital output by default, life would be so much easier.

Hi Gents :-) So I managed to install tasker, setup all permissions and get logcat to work. What I can't do is to set up the events.
I can see that there are some events responsible for volume buttons, but right now it's a matter of finding the correct one and assigning correct function to it. So far without success but I'll keep trying. If anyone can give some clues here I would be grateful :-) Cheers!

Ok, another update, I was able to map Volume keys, and move the other (master) volume slider. The problem that I have right now is that I can't extract VOL UP and VOL DOWN from those commands. Whatever I filter there it always catches both buttons at once. Any idea how to filter it?

***IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT***

Good news:
iDrive Keyboard version 1.2.1 is available to download from Play Store. It introduces scroll acceleration that reduces amount of turns you need to make in order to move from one end to another… and that’s all for good news.

Now bad news:
If you are on the KSW software version 2.5.3 - Android 10, due to new and very strict memory manager every application that is not system app or KSW app will be killed after few minutes. That also affects this keyboard. If you are being suddenly switched back to Android stock keyboard it means KSW memory manager killed my keyboard. I am working on a solution (if at all possible) but until then please revert back to previous software version that worked for you. Thank you for your understanding.

Button Volume Up:
KswMcuListener: --Mcu toString-----[ cmdType:A1 - data:17-15-01 ]

Button Volume Down:
KswMcuListener: --Mcu toString-----[ cmdType:A1 - data:17-16-01 ]

(If you're unable to get these strings in the logcat file, try switching between OEM Amplifier and Aftermarket Amplifier in Factory Settings.)

[RedErik]

Tomasz_pl let us continue here as it's theming related and not general issue. KswPLauncher.apk and KswPMedia.apk are two different apps therefore they require separate overlays. You "standard" overlay address ksw launcher, but if you want to also apply theme (or just translation) to media player you have to change target package and package name in the Manifest.xml. Then you have to use modified adb commands to enable media player overlay.

Your overlay manifest for media player should look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="ksw.overlay.media"
	android:versionCode="1" 
	android:versionName="1.0">

    <overlay
        android:priority="1"
        android:targetPackage="com.wits.ksw.media" />

    <application
	android:allowBackup="false"
        android:hasCode="false"
        android:label="KswOverlayMedia" />
</manifest>

And these should be your adb commands:

adb connect IP:port
adb root
adb disable-verity
adb reboot

adb connect IP:port
adb root
adb remount
adb shell
adb push kswoverlaymedia.apk /storage/emulated/0
adb shell mv /storage/emulated/0/kswoverlaymedia.apk /system/app/
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/kswoverlaymedia.apk
adb reboot

adb connect IP:port
adb shell cmd overlay enable ksw.overlay.media

Could you prepare a ready package for compiling the .apk media section?

Z góry dzięki...

Here it is, modified for media player, works only with SD625 units.

[Tomasz_pl]

Unfortunately it does not work.
Do I have to activate this media overlay somehow?

edit.
I checked again - no change after installation.
