Version 2.3.6 based on Android 11 for KSW devices running on M600 (SD662/SM6115) and M606 (SD460/SM4250) platform, built on Wednesday, September 21, 2022.

Changes since Ksw-R-M600_OS_v2.3.1-ota, built 34 days earlier.

Summary

• New Wi-Fi chip firmware, installed by CenterService at the first boot after the update
• Car-brand badges removed from the launcher’s car pictures and logos
• New full-screen music player for BMW_ID8_UI
• Zlink updated to 5.2.72

Changes

• CenterService (com.wits.pms) app updated from 1.0_220726 to 1.0_220915
  • At the first boot after the update it replaces the Wi-Fi firmware on the modem partition with WLAN.HL.3.2.4-01022 and offers a reboot (“Wifi Firmware UPDATE”)
  • The modem partition is now mounted read-write, apparently to make that copy possible
• KswPLauncher (com.wits.ksw) app updated from 1.20_220818 to 1.20_220913
  • Car pictures and brand logos redrawn without the manufacturer badge (for example the Audi rings and the “Audi” / “Alfa Romeo” logos)
  • Mercedes MBUX themes: the “me” icon becomes a person and the Android Auto robot an arrow
  • With e_car at 0, the eCar assistant is also hidden from the app list
• KswPMedia (com.wits.ksw.media) app updated from 1.2_220816 to 1.2_220913
  • BMW_ID8_UI: new full-screen music player with a favourite button, opened by itself after 10 seconds without input while music plays
  • BMW_ID8_UI: the music and video lists appear to keep focus for the rotary controller while scrolling
  • The music player layout now also covers 634dp-wide windows
• KswBt (com.wits.ksw.bt) app updated from 1.0.22_220815_feasy_1 to 1.0.22_220915_feasy
  • Waking Siri on an iPhone no longer opens the in-call screen
  • Deleting a paired phone in the ID7-style list also disconnects it
• CarplayZlink (com.zjinnova.zlink) app updated from 5.2.68 to 5.2.72
  • New “CarPlay”, “Android Auto” and “Mirroring” launcher icons, disabled by default
  • New “Connection Error” and “Resolution change detected, need to reload” dialogs
  • Plain HTTP is allowed to any server
  • Targets API 23, so Android should ask for its permissions at runtime
• Android Wi-Fi service: Zlink may change Wi-Fi configurations even when it is not the app on screen
• Android Settings: Melon, Naver Map, TomVPN, KimGiSa, Amazon Music and Spotify are added to the battery-optimisation allow list
• Wi-Fi hotspot (hostapd): the Zjinnova hook that appears to have added an Apple vendor element is gone
