BMW e92 Android Idrive replacement... help needed - MTCB Android Head Units Q&A

Hi All,
I recently fitted an android head unit to my 2007 bmw 3 series, I was just wondering if anyone here had experience these units (pics below)?
There are few issues I am having,
1) The idrive controller is only part functional, i.e. I can use up and down to move between the main menu and push down to select but the scroll doesn't work. Is there a way I can set this up?
2) How can I change which app runs when I press the 'Media' menu option? It currently opens a simple music app but I want it to open poweramp.
3) When I hold down the menu button it should display my oem car interface, the oem interface appears for a split second and only on half of the screen before disappearing - does anyone have this function working that can share their display settings as I suspect the issue is there.
Thanks all for any help.
James

New software?

Reading around in the net I found the review of a new phone: E-TEN M600, follow the link: http://www.mobiletechreview.com/E-TEN_M600.htm. They talk about a new software called INDEX DIAL. I am curious about it; it seems a cool tool. Any information about it? Does anybody know where it can be found? Thank you for your help. Paul.
Since you still haven't received any answers let me at least try to point you in the right direction.
ETEN M600 is not a new phone. It's been around for over a year and despite looking good on paper it had a ton of problems and needed constant ROM updates. I considered buying it my self when it first came out, but now I am glad I didn't.
The app you are talking about is a feature unique to this phone (ETEN bought / wrote the app and stuck it in ROM) and is not available for other phones. (At leas I haven't heard of a 3rd party app that does this)
Hoeven, programs have been extracted from the eten ROM. You should look in the ETEN specific forum (this board is mainly about HTC manufactured devices) maybe someone extracted the index dial.
Good luck.
I ripped this one ages ago. Don't know if it's the same thing.

how to create a link to this program?
YES!! I love this program: I installed it on my MDA (T-Mobile USA) and it works fine. My problem is how to create a link so that I can activate it fast. It doesn't show in the Programs, it doesn't show in the Items setting, nor in the Menus setting, nor can it be associated to any button. Any suggestion?
Thank you, Paul.

ShowTabTip
Some users used to have problems with text forms (with touchscreen too), the touch keyboard didn't appear and it's very annoying to open osk or the touch panel manually
This tool is very tiny (<900KB) and run in background, only an icon in notification area will be show
This tool check a clicked/tapped textbox and opens the touch keyboard
This is the first version, so sometimes it might not function, biu I've tested with a lot of user, so iThink that it functions correctly
Sorry for bad english
Waiting for feedback!

Does not work on Acer W700, Windows 8 x64. Additional components are required?
As I writed before, this is the first version and sometimes the keyboard did't appear, butI don't know why and I'm trying to find a solution
This app don't require anything other as far I know...
Is this based on an autohotkey script?
Yes, and the script is based on a script that i found on ahk forum here: http://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/89058-help-converting-autoit-script-to-ahk/ with some edits to make it smarter
This does not work... have tested on Dell Latitude 10 x86... icon appears in taskbar, but I click the address pane in internet explorer and nothing happens, still have to open keyboard manually.. Its a shame because that is something that really pisses me off about Windows 8 and I hate using metro mode all the time because apps only run full screen..

[MTCE][PX5] MCU-Update fail (fix'd) | Wanted: "better" apps

Hey folks,
today I updated my MCU on my Pumpkin heandunit (see relevant specs picture)
Used MCU-File: v2.88 [source: https://xtrons.ibus-app.de/index.ph...BCr_Android_6_.26_8_.2F_MTCD.2BMTCE_.2F_PX5:]
Everything works fine after figuring out which BluetoothModule was used etc - however 2 issues remain:
- annoying error-message "Version Unmatch -01" (see picture)
- every few seconds a pitched tone (similar or identical to the sound when pressing the touch panel)
So, what did happen - wrong MCU file? Anything I could've possibly done wrong while updating? (Malaysk was installed 3 months ago)
I'm open for ideas - or even better: solutions.

Also, there are 2 things I really need to "fix" regarding apps:
- A better app to stream bluetooth music (at least a widget should be aviable - stock malaysk one is quite spartan). A music app which offers "bluetooth" as source would also be fine instead of switching between 2 apps.
- an App to use MirrorLink/CarPlay/whatever with my Galaxy S7 (G930F) - so far only "MTCD Mirror" worked, however the display isn't resized, so uses only 2/3 of the headunit and rests in the upper left corner... (EasyConnect won't recognize my phone)
Any help is appreciated, although the MCU related stuff is more important.
Best regards
btw, old MCU-Version ist:
Hi, This should get you started. You had a manufacturer of KLD and then applied a GS MCU.

Thanks, helped a lot!
Only to sort out apps now

Hello, sorry for delay my answer.
The system is based on MTCE KSP V. 3.07. The android system is 7.1.2.
This problem was happens previously, when the system was MTCD (i don´t remember the version) and android 6. The configuration of buttoms and other options of android system is the same as when the device had android 6.
