I ve discovered that the 7floor sound mod has been made to work on an RK3188 MTCD unit by @kumarai.
I ve searched all threads in this forum and it doesnt seem to be known amongst you MTCD guys (or even to have been mentioned), whereas over in the MTCB forums (the mod was developed for MTCB units) quite a few people have done it.
I thought it would be worth mentioning here.
What it does, basically is remove control of the sound processor from the MCU and give it to Android for a very worth while improvement in sound quality and more features.
It does require some soldering and there is a small difference in what has to be done to the software (see first pic) to get it to work on MTCD units. Cant say it will work on Sofia or PX5 units, but theres no reason to think it wouldnt or couldnt be made to work on them.
Here are some links :

thats very cool,
however does it get rid of the constant hiss sounds, and the noise generated when mcu is processing.

I ve got an MTCB/C unit and I never had those issues even with the MCU controlling the sound processor, so I dont know, if the sounds are caused by the MCU processing sound then maybe.
Software part?
Hello,
I'm very interested to perform this mod but I'm having couple of questions. The unit is now on my kitchen table and I have all the parts I need.
How does the software part go with MTCD unit, because we cannot install xposed framework?
For me This is the correct route(different from 7floor):
BD37 -26 SDA - R70(100ohm) - SDIN
BD37 - 25 SCL - R71(100ohm) - SCLK
I've read that older models have 1kohm resistance but I have 100ohm which should lower the interference "hiss/fuzz" sound. Sound is pretty good now but only bluetooth A2DP quality suck with iPhone and I'd hope this mod would improve it.

There are 4 different versions of MTCD units, you need to state which one you have
edit : I can see from your other post that you ahve 5.1.1, you CAN install Xposed (but you need to be rooted).
Installed xposed framework
Oh yes, my unit is running 5.1.1 Hal9k android with KSP MCU, RK3188 and 1 GB of RAM.
I managed to install the xposed framework successfully! :victory: Now I'm installing MTC sound app and after I have checked it out I will solder the wires. :fingers-crossed:
Any tips how to get those little Rs out safely, because my tweezers won't get a good hold of those?
I have Dasaita V600 model with PX5 system. I was wondering does anybody know is it possible to do a 7floor mod on this unit?

C'mon man.
Anyway I was able to perform the mod successfully, at least it seems that way. But I have not had the change to install the unit in a my car yet so I really don't know if any sound is actually coming out...
My tip for soldering. Add little extra solder to the old components before removing. That way you have little more time to warm up both ends.
Had to install the MTC sound 2.0.5. app to avoid UI error.

Does anyone have issues with Bluetooth? I tried to find more info from the original thread but didn’t find anything useful.
I have sound from radio and Spotify but Bluetooth calls won’t work. I can’t hear anything from the Bluetooth app and A2DP goes directly to calling screen.
How can I get the A2DP to work so I can stream from my phone?
Edit: No problems after all. Had to toggle gsm via android from the EQ and then calls work just fine. Then A2DP works only when using stock launcher. I find that weird.

Strange, you could try BT app that includes the A2DP function (as opposed to one that has a separate app for it) and see if that makes a difference . . . although youd have to go through all the ROMs to try and find one. What processor have you got ?

Hi altogether,
I want to buy a bluetooth GPS Mouse to use with my Wizard.
Actually I ogle with the CMJ-1000.
Has someone experiences with this one or can recommend me another one?
Should be not that expensive.
I want to use it in the car, while biking and walking/hiking.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, but I read this thread before I posted this one ;-). First, the thread is quite old and did not contain the information I am looking for.
Perhaps I didn't specify my question good enough. "This device xy works fine for me" doesn't help me, because I don't know the needs of the user who is posting.
Perhaps someone who knows, could give some information, which Specs are needed/recommended/needless to different usages.

Well... just about any BT GPS receiver will work, so look for the form factor that suits your needs. Buy a receiver that has at least a SiRF III chip. Here is a site that has a bunch of receivers http://www.usglobalsat.com/ I use the BT359, I drive, I walk, I use it biking but not while I am riding (electronics, biking, death...all too related ) Someone else suggested the iBlue 737 as seen here http://www.gpspassion.com/fr/articles.asp?id=175&page=5
Something you'll have to decide is whether you want data logging. That is useful if you are using the receiver without a live BT-phone connection.
Mostly you need to think about what mode you are going to use it in most frequently. For me, its the car (where I have power so I can overclock the phone), but I do use it elsewhere but it just "depends".

Does anybody know if a mini usb to tv out cable will work on g1? I don't know much about these cables and would like to know if the cable will work by just simply plugging it in. Or if additional software would be required.
Any info would be a great help as I hope to use 1 of these cables for a tv streaming app.

Sorry, about duplicated Thread about the G1 TV out that was already post before, but this website below fuel my curiosity and probably was misleading about the ability to broadcast video. Thought maybe HTC created a cable that enable many HTC device that don't have the TV-out to a capable function and I know it more in the hardware, but the software/drivers support too. It also seem it more supported in a Winmo OS device then Andriod OS.

To make it clear once more, there's no TVout on G1 (a.k.a HTC Dream).
The physical connection to the signals of the chipset is missing and additionally there's not software to support this part of hardware.
HTC devices with TVout feature, deliver the dedicated signals on some of the pins at the extUSB connector.
The adaptor you pointed at, is a simple cable with some passive elements inside (e.g. filter) to attach to extUSB connector and match it to the input of the TV set.

@SquareBare yes i'm also aware of that.. i'll just have to wait... i'm liking the multi touch control... which works perfectly so i don't mind waiting til froyo to see what happends ...
i guess i was looking to see if this will mean video streaming or something... i think i saw an article like that b4.. but can't remember
anyways Thank you both for ur fast replies ...!!
The SGS family is the only smartphones in the world (if i'm not mistaken) to have BT 3.0. Okay, the Samsung Wave had it first.

Well, more of the blame lies on samsung than Mr. Frawley.
I read somewhere on these forums that Samsung implemented the bluetooth standard in a somewhat bizarre way. Kind of like how you have to swap wires around when you are connecting the video cable to your TV.
From what I see though, Samsung has acknowledged the issue and will correct it with the upcoming froyo update.

Samsung gets the blame for using the latest technology? How does that work?
I read in a press release from January of last year that the two main features of 3.0 is faster transfer and better battery life. In addition there is suppose to be some security enhancements.
It uses 802.11 to transfer the files like wifi does to transfer files to and from you phone.

a day late.(or actually 3 days from when the fix was uploaded)..
its already been posted on both nightly threads on rootzwiki and here
anyways like i mentioned before (when i posted the link here) its pretty unstable and using the mic can/will mess with audio playback, but it works well when it works

i know that this phone has a FM receiver built in. The wifi chip is also supposed to just be for receiving, but we can do wifi tether. this makes me think it *may* be possible to transmit fm from the chip in the phone (from what i understand its built into the wifi chip). i know i can buy a fm transmitter, and i actually already have three of them, but it would be nice to not have any extra hardware if its not needed. i also know you can do bluetooth streaming and stuff, but it would be nice to stream through fm to devices that do not have bluetooth. so please dont tell me to go buy a real fm transmitter or do something else. if it is possible, please let me know. if not, just tell me that. thanks!

It is possible. But no one has done it because no devs think it worth the effort. Personally I would love it, but not enough to learn to develope the necessary drivers.

Hell it a receiver app, not a transmitter app. Sorry guys. But maybe he has the knowledge to do a transmitter app.
Do a play store app search for,"quick fm transmitter". It installs but doesnt work. It says the system is not supported. It does list the supported "sharp" systems. The good part is, the app is there; although it needs to be ported.
I also found that there are at least 6 HTC phones with the correct chip set. Those other phone users would also like an app for this.
