nilsandClaude Opus 5.5 fde963533d Head unit is 1920x720, not 1920x1080
FIRMWARE.md, the mise emulator profile and SPECS.md said 1920x1080.
The MG4's display is 1920x720 at 160 dpi (an app window has been seen
at 1778x720, the car's sidebar taking the rest). The floating button's
geometry test now uses 1920x720.

The app itself assumed no height: checked on an Android 9 emulator at
1920x720, all tabs render (longer ones scroll), the sidebar holds all
seven tabs, and the floating button starts at 1840,312.

# Supported firmware notes
This document records project compatibility constraints and behaviour confirmed during
development. It must not be treated as a vendor specification.
## Identity
| | |
|---|---|
| Tested generation | `SWI68-29958-1300R69` |
| Android | 9 (Pie) — **API 28** |
| Chipset | MediaTek **MT2712** |
| Device | `mt2712_saic_eh32` (eh32 = MG4) |
| Display | **1920×720 @ 160 dpi** (the car's sidebar takes part of the width; an app window has been reported at 1778×720) |
| Emulator display profile | **1920×720 @ 160 dpi** |
## Signing caveat
Certificate equality alone does not prove an APK came from this project. The nightly OTA
therefore also requires https and an exact-host GitHub allowlist. The same caveat applies
to EVProfile's OTA.
## Vendor property IDs
The vendor VHAL is `vendor/bin/hw/android.hardware.automotive.vehicle@2.0-service`
(ARM aarch64), backed by `vendor/lib64/android.hardware.automotive.YFvehicle@2.0.so`
("YF" supplier implementation). The property IDs (`0x2160F404` SOC,
`0x2140F41C` range, …) are **compiled into that binary**, not stored in a
readable config. The project therefore treats these IDs as implementation details with
firmware-specific compatibility limits.
These IDs are therefore confirmed for **SWI68 (R69) only**. MG4 ships other
generations (SWI69/131/132/133/165) and the VHAL binary lists many SAIC
platforms (`eh32`, `as33`, `ec32`, `ip42`, …); the IDs may differ there.
Only SOC and range still ride these vendor IDs. Speed, outside temperature and
park state are read through `EVHardware`, which branches per generation
internally and so covers all six firmwares — `CarPropertyAdapter` carries just
the SWI68 EV cluster plus the standard-AAOS charge / cabin-temp reads. EVHardware
has no EV-battery abstraction for any generation, which is why SOC/range cannot yet
follow the same path. See `AGENTS.md` for the full per-signal split.
## Emulator fidelity
The `mise` emulator tasks use an API 33 automotive AVD for the car service and an API 28
AVD at **1920×720 @ 160 dpi** for the screen. Neither exposes the SAIC vendor properties,
so vehicle-specific behaviour still requires on-vehicle validation.
