First of all, this app is awesome, been using the free version and totally gonna buy the premium

I have a few suggestions and reports:

-The generic music control works great on all players I have, except for Deezer

-The builtin player is awesome, way better and faster than Google Play Music

-When the generic control are enabled and no player is started, tapping on them do nothing. They could start the player in the shortcut or the builtin

-When using immersive mode, there is no way to tell if BT is on or off when using the switch (next to brightness)

-Most of the time, I use your app together with AudioBT Plus (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2123493), but AudioBT don't let me use any music player when it's on. You could integrate AudioBT with Dashdroid because your app knows when music is playing (trough the builtin player or notification). It would work like this:

On audio focus change:

-If playing music, do nothing (will be sent trough A2DP with the music)

-If not playing music, send trough BT SCO as would AudioBT

I have raved about this app for some time, after installing the premium from Google Play, I have to say... This is the most incredible launcher for Nexus 7'13 permanent install. You have done an amazing job! If you guys have not tried the premium you have to it. Its even more beautiful. If you guys have not tried the premium you have to it even more beautiful and more functional.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Well the sco I tried but the lack of documentation make difficult in some times, about music if there is no music and you are using generic maybe it will do nothing because the music could be killed by android and you need start explicitly, that's because it's android behavior, in other hand my built in controls should work always (if you set up music slot my app)

Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked, I'm working hard to make it even more awesome with every update
[Android Apps and Games] tulio150:
It's actually pretty simple, I can send you some code samples via PM if you want
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Yeah that would be great
[Android Apps and Games] cyberhern:
Any chance on a future update you could add option for custom icons, sorta like the option on the home page would be great
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Yeah it's on my to-do list, actually I was doing that before folders, you can use nova launcher, apex and other icon packs, but I need so some hackish stuff so,I need think well how read the icon name from the package icons but a simple try works well
[Android Apps and Games] Coolcalmcollected:
Nice App

I just discovered this app today and so far it is looking/working great except for one thing. I use Google Play Music and have the media controls visible, it shows the track playing and album art but when I click the next track button it takes sometimes up to 20 seconds to actually change the track. Can you provide any suggestion as to why it is not working correctly?

I have a HTC One M8 running 4.4.4

Thanks in Advance :)
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
that's weird the "way" media control works (generic) its like make my app works like lockscreen so when you click next its the same as if you had the lockscreen and click next, do you have the same behavior? in google play music i have a delay too, but its for google music like 2 secons 20 its a lot , can you try if the lockscreen do the same?
[Android Apps and Games] Coolcalmcollected:
Features/Questions

Thanks for the quick response I played around and I changed a few settings in other apps and tasker etc. I think it may have been Media Utilities that slowed it down. I ended up buying the full version of your app and have been using it yesterday afternoon and this morning. It works great but I have some suggestions/quesitons?

The compass quite often is not pointing in the right direction, is this a bug or is it due to the update frequency?

Is there an option to have notifications read aloud?

It would be awesome if you could set a speed warning, i.e when speedometer reaches 110kmph beep and display warning for 5 secs

I read in previous posts that you are looking at allowing re-sizing or customization of clock/display widgets, that would be awesome but the only suggestion I have is maybe if the speedometer and music controls are showing, to not have album art, thus when the speedometer reaches 3 digits it does not cut the next/back buttons.

Once again thanks for a great app and being available on these forums.
[Android Apps and Games] c.todd.nc:
hi, i'm using and enjoying the free app, where is the paid one?:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Coolcalmcollected:
If you click the settings button on the far right, then go down the bottom there is a Remove Ads option. Click on that and you will be able to upgrade to paid. You need to restart the app after the upgrade to have the ads disabled.
[Android Apps and Games] c.todd.nc:
Thanks, I am now upgraded! :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] Mrdeli100:
Hello, I have paid for the app and think its pretty good.

The main problem I have is that I can not get the app to shut down automatically when charging stops (i.e. as I turn off the car)

Tasker does not seem to be able to kill / close the app.

Can we not have an option to close the app when power is disconnected (perhaps with a user defined delay)?

Also, but less urgent could we have the app start music from where it left off when starting up?

Keep up the good work Mark
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
well you can stop the app using intent filter, send this:

"com.nezdroid.mycardahsboard.STOP" (without quotes) this will stop my app
[Android Apps and Games] Mrdeli100:
Thanks - I have tried SEND INTENT from tasker, inserting your code into the Action tab, but this has no effect.

Is there something I am doing wrong?

Many thanks for your help Mark
[Android Apps and Games] nailgg:
I can help you translate this application into Turkish. Thanks for the app.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
hi i tried and works did you copy paste?

com.nezdroid.mycardahsboard.STOP

because i have a typo in cardashboard and you need send using the typo :P

yeah that would be awesome

i just created a turkish language

can you go to this site and (sign up, take 2 minutes) and you can translate Thanks you so MUCH!!!

[Android Apps and Games] nailgg:
Just finished it. However, there are some words/sentences that I must see in the application. Is this possible?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
which sentences?
[Android Apps and Games] nailgg:
"Im using Car Dashdroid for #Android an amazing Car dashboard with an amazing Material Design %s" Need to see what replaces %s here (to keep it grammatically correct)

Phrases that include <tags> like this: <xliff:g id="alarm_time" example="Wed 8:00am">%s</xliff:g>, I didn't translate anything between <> but not sure if I should have

The ones that start with \n (see #2854756)

I'll also check capitalization/typos, etc.

I can check it when you publish the new version on play store.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
ah ok, : <xliff:g id="alarm_time" example="Wed 8:00am">%s</xliff:g> you onl,y should modify between > and </ and for %s its a place holder so keep in the same way

anothe example (let's say spanish)

Im using Car Dashdroid for #Android an amazing Car dashboard with an amazing Material Design %s

would be

estoy usando car dashdroid para #android un excelente tablero con sorprendente material design %s

leave the %s and between <> as you did :D
[Android Apps and Games] nailgg:
Thanks, no need to change anything then.
[Android Apps and Games] briangig:
I wanted the same feature, replace the phone dialog screen with Tablet Talk. The way I did this was to create a scene in tasker, along the left edge of the screen that detects any swipes/strokes. When I swipe in from the left, when CarDashdroid is open, it opens the phone app for Tablet Talk. I have another scene to swipe in from the right when Tablet talk is open to open CarDashdroid.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
well i tried (a lot of times) contact tablet talk developers and even a guy who want this email them and copy me in the mail and i talked maybe with intent or something ,but seems they don't even care, so im guessing i will add a bundle app that will called tablet-link xD and will be the same but material design :D but it will take some time since its almost a new app so my idea its make the BT connection. route the sound, and if possible share internet by BT but its in my "todo" list
[Android Apps and Games] Mrdeli100:
Thank you. I was not using the action with broadcast set. Works great now.

For your next release could I request an option for having the black background all the time - I prefer the look of it like this. Many thanks Mark.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
In theory if you set in settings use black theme should be always black, where is not black background
[Android Apps and Games] madd0g:
Hello, I wrote you already an email about this. Could you implement this via launching an extra Activity ? Users who use Trigger to launch/automate tasks can only launch applications/activities, so having Tasker just for this use-case would be a bit overkill.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
i used to have an activity but i can add an activity just to kill the app?
[Android Apps and Games] madd0g:
Yes , this would be great. Here's a screenshot out of Trigger what options it has for running. So ideally running an Activity inside of Car dashdroid that would do the same thing as broadcasting the stop Intent would be excellent.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
I can do that :)
[Android Apps and Games] madd0g:
Awesome, thank you!

Closing the app with tasker

The tasker intent com.nezdroid.mycardahsboard.STOP does work for me and closes the app, however I´ve set dashdroid as a launcher in the options and after tasker closes the app it remains the default launcher that means tasker brings me back to the usual (google launcher) but pressing the homebutton makes me go right back to dashdroid.

Any ideas how to solve this problem?

Great app, thanks
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Well I guess you are right I guess I forgot set default launcher I will test and I fix, sorry for this
[Android Apps and Games] flowlae:
Nice thanks your looking into that one, huge compliment from my side for your fast and helpful support
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
do you have latest version? i tried and works well i set as launcher and then i use adb to send a broadcast

"./adb shell am broadcast -a com.nezdroid.mycardahsboard.STOP" (because i dont have tasker) and seems its working well, this happens always?
[Android Apps and Games] flowlae:
I have the latest version and tried tasker as well as trigger. Both ways dashdroid goes into the background and I'm on the standard launcher again, however at this moment dashdroid remains the standard launcher and every press on the home button brings me back to it until I manually exit out.

Nevertheless your bluetooth auto close option works fine and dashdroid completly shuts down even as a launcher just as intended
[Android Apps and Games] Volis:
Exactly what I needed

So after 2 days of trying I gonna buy :)

wish is just Spottily support would be great to have..

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
In android 4.4+ you can use generic music controls in settings and should work fine
[Android Apps and Games] DragonFlye:
I've bought your app not for use on a phone but for a device it could really shine on: The NewsMy NU3001 Car HiFi system. This is an Android ONLY 2-Din Car system. At this moment your app is the

best

solution to replace the stock launcher. I've got some questions though:

On my Phone icons render sharp. On the NU3001 (1024x600), icons render blurry. (see attachments) Can this be fixed? Given the different resolutions and dpi, the screenshots do not represent the real view, but believe me, icons are quite blurry on the NU3001

As probably mentioned before, some settings icons are not needed to be visible when used once, especially the screen rotate one (on a landscape only device). Can these icons be optional?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
they are suppose High resolution -.-; i will double check or make another icon :( and about the buttons i want make it 3 dot menu but not sure how to make it (in UX)
[Android Apps and Games] 6-speed:
I cant get the dark screen for AMOLED screens to work. I have to manually hit the night mode for it to be come dark, and I cant do that if I have the auto day/night mode on. I am using a Nexus 6
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
for black theme go to settings-> and enable "use black theme" to change between themes you need click in the "moon icon" and should work, the auto day/night will disable the moon icon.
[Android Apps and Games] 6-speed:
Thank you! I couldn't tell a difference between the regular mode and black mode at first. I had my screen brightness down in a fairly bright area. Sorry, my bad!
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
it's ok i need make this clear :/ im adding a theme section with custom icon packs too :)
[Android Apps and Games] ratbags:
Really like this app. Would you consider allowing initiating and sending text messages? A bit like smart voice assistant. I guess it would need a service running and listening.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Yes it's on my plan, and actually it's the next thing to do
[Android Apps and Games] mtucker:
I see the same thing. Icons are very blurry/low res looking on my Avin Avant 2 7" Android radio. Some are worse than others. The Copilot Navigation icon looks very blury when made large on the 7" screen. I e-mailed zen kun last night asking about the possibility to select images that could be used as icons (can download a nice big Copilot picture and use that as the icon). You e-mailed back lightning quick zen kun and let me know that might be a bit complicated, but an update is rolling out to support icon packs so perhaps I can use that to do what I want (not sure if I can make my own icon packs or exactly how that works).

One more request. The Poweramp controls are nice along with the album art, but It would be great if a screen press of the album art opened up Poweramp (full screen) Poweramp does something similar. If you pull down to get notification, you see album art and title while power amp is playing. If you press on the album art, poweramp opens full screen.

Thanks,

Matt
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
the icons i need test, but in my tablet looks sharp (nexus 7) the blurry icons seems its because the app itself, seems when i "get" the icons (android API) i get that icons so im not sure if its my app itself, i found a way to get high res icons from the app, however its based if the app has that image for that resolution and sometimes don't, or they are so high when i tried to resize can throw some memory issues, yes the icon pack its at 50% right now so maybe you can get the update, you can update downloading the same app as play store from here:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13378085/BetaApps/myCarDashboard-release.apk

i support icon pack (i like moonshine icon pack) can you try and tell me if you see difference please? Thanks

Edit: i forgot, about the album art its a "common" request i will add the option to load a custom app or something
[Android Apps and Games] mtucker:
Thanks for the info. I installed Dashdroid 2.6.5 from the dropbox link (on my phone to start with). I saw the theme section under settings, I downloaded the moonshine icon pack from Google Play. I read (maybe in the info when I installed 2.6.5) that I didn't need an aftermarket launcher. I can open the moonshine icon app. I can choose the moonshine icon pack in the theme section of Dashdroid. I restarted Dashdroid after I told it to use moonshine icon pack. I can't figure out how to select what icons I want to use. I was thinking I might need an aftermarket launcher for that, but then I saw that note that one was not needed. You said the icon pack is at 50%..... did that mean it is 50% finished which is why I can select icons to use in Dashdroid? I can of course view the icons in the moonshine app, but until the icons are made large in Dashdroid, it will be hard for me to comment if they look better than the stock icons. When I can select the icons, I will try it on my car radio and see if they look better.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Atm you can't select which icon pick, when you select any of the supported apps it will show the icon pack icon instead stock, for example if you use maps as shortcut the icon will be the moonshine (in this case) icon, and so on
[Android Apps and Games] mtucker:
On my phone, I see the Moonshine icon pack working. If I pick an app to put on Dashdroid that is supported by Moonshine, then I get the custom icon. Nice. My car radio gave me the dreaded insufficient memory error when I tried to download the Moonshine icon pack to it. I did find a work around to get better looking icons in Dashdroid. First let me say the icons only look bad on my car radio (7"). My phone (Nexus 6, 6" display) shows the icons in Dashboard very well (don't look pixelated). Maybe there is some weird screen ratio / resizing thing going on with my radio. DragonFlye (who also said his icons looked bad) said his android car stereo is 1024x600 and so is my Avin Avant 2.

My work around was to use Desktop VisualizeR and download some nice 300x300 or 500x500 png icons from the web. From Dashdroid, I pick a new shortcut, choose Desktop VisualizeR, image, file browse to the png/icon file, and then pick what app to launch for that icon. It takes all of ten seconds per icon. I still have some jaggedness on rounded edges, but the higher res icons do look a lot better. I'm happy.

Higher res left, stock Torque icon right. The text below the icon doesn't look jagged, but non horizontal/vertical lines in the icon images have some jaggedness even though they are high res.

I saw the new version on the play store this morning...... and it really shows Fahrenheit for weather now. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] DragonFlye:
intuitive controls

It seems there are more users that are running Car Dashdroid on a Car device.

These are somewhat different from phones and tablets. They have a touch-screen but can also be controlled by an (IR) remote or SWC (Steering Wheel Controls).

That's when I ran into some issues. Using the cursor keys from a remote (mimic this by using an attached (BT)keyboard), the cursor position on the home screen starts in the upper left quadrant at the settings icons. I can move left and right from there and having reached the end it will move to the

next

available screen. I can not

move down

to reach the Contact, Music, etc icons . Can you please fix that?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Not sure how, but maybe I can do something, how I can emulate this? I will research
[Android Apps and Games] DragonFlye:
Any attached Bluetooth keyboard will let you use cursor keys

As an Access programmer, I know that every control (buttons, textboxes, forms, subforms etc) has a default sequence when looped, which can be manipulated. When started, something has focus (number 0) and the next number (control) will gain focus if focus is lost on 0.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
i have a keyboard i will test, sometimes does not work well with pager but still i will see this. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] machNex:
Just downloaded your app on my Nexus 6. Looks great on paper. The trigger on bluetooth connect is what got me. Fantastic.

I'm using Nokia Here maps for nav. Anyone know how I would get it to go directly to the nav map instead of the overhead map when I trigger it in dashdroid?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
im sorry i did not get it, what do you mean overhead map? its possible sending an screenshot ? here or n3zdroid@gmail.com
[Android Apps and Games] caiohenriques:
Hello! Great app.

What about I help you translate for portuguese(BR)?

Happy to help.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
well if you want help me that would be awesome send me an email to n3zdroid@gmail.com so we can discuss this :D i would love have BR
[Android Apps and Games] machNex:
The nav (navigation) map is what you see on a car GPS. The overhead map is what you see when you search on google maps or something... like you're looking down on it.

Here maps has the options for overhead, nav (where it is telling you directions), and for tracking (where it is showing you a nav map without any set destination. I want it to start on tracking, but I haven't figured out how yet.

App Crash

Hi,

I am using AutomateIt to connect GPS and launch dashdroid after bluetooth pairing with the Car system.

And I use a similar action killing the app after disconnecting the car audio.

2 questions:

1. Every now and then I get a message saying the app crashed. Is there any way to avoid the crashes? I have the paid version.

2. I use Nova Launcher and when dashdroid crashes and I restart it I have to tell it again to be used as default launcher and then when I exit I have to do the same for Nova. Any way to avoid redefining that every time?

Thanks,

Ehud
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
1) when crash? can you tell me step by step? what android device and android version? could be possible send me a logcat? that would help me

2) it's a hack what i do , since you have nova launcher its because you already have another launcher right? (touchwiz, htc, google..) its possible to "deactivate" or freeze the launcher you are not using? if you can this will solve that issue.
[Android Apps and Games] patil.ketan:
Great looking app!!

Thanks a lot, I have been looking for something like this. And it looks really great! Super work!

Just one question, is there a option to turn on loudspeaker for all calls when the app is up? I think it will be very useful if all calls turn on loudspeaker, since phone would be on a dock while driving.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
yes, in settings there is an option (i guess almost in bottom) set call in speaker or something like that :)
[Android Apps and Games] patil.ketan:
Super! Thanks a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] gunbladerq:
Hey zen kun, I just found out about your app. I really like it. The design is simple and beautiful. I have not used it while driving yet, so I will post feedback after I've done that. Thanks, man!

Great app but premium button doesn't work

I'm on a rooted note 3. Love this app and want to support you buy buying premium but the in app button does nothing whe I press it.

How can I buy premium?

Claudio
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
I found this issue with someone else U.u not sure why, but what worked was rebooting the phone, can you try please? And please let me know
[Android Apps and Games] cgaggia:
Thank you - but I've already tried that. Also cleared app data and cache - when that didn't work I cleared dalvik cache & cache - but still nothing.

It would be great if you could put the premium on the market - then I can simply buy from Play Store. I'm sure that would help many folk.

Vioce Control?

Hey zen kun

Thanks for the amazing app. I am sure you left no room for further imprvements and the app looks complete. I have a quation though, is there a voice control available already for volume? I mean can I control the volume through voice commands?, If yes, can you help me with the know-how.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
yes, i guess i will add the premium because seems some others has this issue or maybe a " patch" like license app just to verify the purchase :/

Well voice commands will be available later for my "own" commands so atm no, there is no for volume yet, however i guess you can use google now to set up volume right?
