Petal maps not working

BBishop123

DUDU-Meng are you able to include the ability to set the devices region via the android settings in the next update please? As I'm sure there are many apps that are region locked.

DUDU-Meng

I've already suggested this feature, but it seems it wasn't approved.
You can try manually setting these properties using setprop; that should allow you to change them.

BBishop123

DUDU-Meng I tried to use setprop but it didn't appear to work. Are you able to make the request again please? As it is a feature that should just be available on any android device.

DUDU-Meng

Is the property value correct when you read it again after manually setting it with setprop?
I'll also follow up with FYT on this.

BBishop123

DUDU-Meng No, the setprop command didn't do anything.

BBishop123

DUDU-Meng what is the exact command I would need to put in? As I want to make sure I did it right before I reset my device. And this will need to be done with adb debugging on correct?

BBishop123

DUDU-Meng I tried again, might have had the command wrong. The persist.sys.country is now set to GB, but the error is still persistent

@DUDU-Meng Last time you provided a script for @BBishop123 you used the duducfg.txt.
What if you use the config.txt instead of the duducfg.txt to set the properties? Could that help?

So to @BBishop123 : Simply try the same "region-united-kingdom.7z", but renaming duducfg.txt to config.txt

BBishop123

surfer63 what would that do differently?

DUDU-Meng

After upgrading the contents of duducfg.txt, they will be automatically added to the system's config.txt file.
We've also tested simulating a location in the UK, and Huaban Maps functions normally in that scenario.
Therefore, I want him to perform a factory reset once to initialize the properties in config.txt.

surfer63

I do not exactly know. Up till now always the config.txt was used, and this time it was a duducfg.txt.
That is also why I ask @DUDU-Meng about it, and why I ask "Could that help?"
I do not know, but just guess.
I might not help either, but it won't make it worse. It helps or it doesn't do anything.

I did a getprop on my system today.
I have following

[ro.product.locale]: [en-US]
[ro.product.locale.country]: [US]
[ro.product.locale.language]: [en]
[ro.product.locale.region]: [US]

Which has always been the default in FYT builds for outside China..

The values for

persist.sys.language
persist.sys.country

are empty.
But I do have [persist.sys.locale]: [nl]

DUDU-Meng so you want me to factory reset my head unit? And that will fix the issue I'm having with petal maps?

The fact that I am able to get this app installed and somewhat running on my firestick on my TV, I get past the point where the "map service is unavailable in your current region" message would pop up. My multiple year old firestick is able to it, there is absolutely no reason for the dudu7 unit to not be able to do it. No other device I have tried this app on has given me this error message, which means it is something to with the dudu7 device.

BBishop123

DUDU-Meng Also, what is huaban maps? The app I am having trouble with is called petal maps?

BBishop123

DUDU-Meng also noticed these entrys that appear to be related to region. Are these correct?

Seems to be the new fix for everything they can't fix.
They want me to factory reset my DUDU7 because after an update i can't whitelist my DAB app anymore, it keeps asking for permission to be on top of other apps.
Now they want me to sit hours in my car in winter and install everything from scratch again.

Edit: the whitelist for pip apps is working but the opposite way. If you set the app in laboratory it will not work.
So DUDUAUTO has again not done a good job...

BBishop123

JhonnyD seems ridiculous to me. Especially as I doubt they can guarantee this would actually fix my issue. I don't want to lose all my data and how I have the head unit set up.

BBishop123

DUDU-Meng could the issue be, that the dudu7 head unit is reporting as an "automotive" device, and petal maps is set to not work on automotive devices? As they have a car version (specific to cars running huaweis harmony os). As I have seen it running on other android head units, that are cheaper ones that report themselves as basically just android tablets, whereas the dudu7 device is reporting itself as an automotive screen?

DUDU-Meng

BBishop123
I'm not sure about that either. Petal Maps is a product from Huawei, a company in our country. Even in our country, very few people use it in their cars. Most people who have Huawei phones install Gaode Maps or Baidu Maps as additional apps for navigation.

BBishop123

DUDU-Meng Ok. Am I correct that the dudu7 head unit reports as an automotive device? Or is it just reporting as an android tablet?
