Hi

I figured out why in app purchases weren't working. In the end nothing to do with your app. I uninstalled Google Play updates and now in app billing works. I would suggest you publish a paid version on the market anyway as I'm sure this happens to other people too. Makes life easier. Thanks again for an amazing application.

I have been enjoying the app on my Android car stereo. It makes car operation so much easier than the default launcher. The option to use Poweramp cover art and controls on the main Dashdroid screen is nice. I noticed the cover art can be a little slow on the uptake. If I have been using the main Poweramp app and then hit the back button to go to Dashdroid, the cover art often isn't displayed in Dashdroid. Using the Dashdroid Power amp controls I can hit previous track and then next track and sometimes the cover art will pop up. Other times I have to do it several times. It is as though the cover art needs to be refreshed whenever Dashdroid comes to the foreground or more often.

On the Poweramp subject, it would be nice if you could touch the small Poweramp cover art while in Dashdroid and have that bring the full Poweramp app to the foreground. It seems intuitive this way and it would also keep a person from needing a dedicated Poweramp "button" in Dashdroid.

I still have some little issues with generic music, however I will work in that, and about the music tap on the album it's a nice idea, actually it's on my to-do list and I will add this

Great, thanks.

Suggestions

Awesome app. Already brought the full version even though it lacks few things I was looking for. Hope it is implemented in the future.

1. Click on the music player to open the selected music app. Useful to select Playlist etc.

2. Dedicated music screen

3. Widget support in the boxes for shortcuts (maybe double sized as well, like the weather/speed box). This will be very useful since I use torque app with obd sensor to show speed, rpm ,temperature etc.

4. Fix for Launcher crash when i click on play with no music playing using custom music player (samsung)

Oh and one more

5. in the dialer screen, can we change the list from all contacts to recent/favorites?

And another one:

6. Anyway to add title-album-artist text to the music control widget?

Let me know what you think. Again, impressed. Good job.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
1. Click on the music player to open the selected music app. Useful to select Playlist etc.

This it's a common request so it's on my todo list, maybe next 2 updates (i will update today or tomorrow so i guess after that update o hope)

2. Dedicated music screen

I have the built in music screen, i will add a "generic" music screen like built in one or what do you mean?

3. Widget support in the boxes for shortcuts (maybe double sized as well, like the weather/speed box). This will be very useful since I use torque app with obd sensor to show speed, rpm ,temperature etc.

well widgets are not possible due android limitations :( i tried contact torque developer to use the API so i can make some widget but not answer :/

4. Fix for Launcher crash when i click on play with no music playing using custom music player (samsung)

can you send me the logcat? i will research this i was not aware of this,

Oh and one more

5. in the dialer screen, can we change the list from all contacts to recent/favorites?

i may add recents button or something, i just added a quick button to favorites (it's not on play store yet)

And another one:

6. Anyway to add title-album-artist text to the music control widget?

already has this o.O in generic or built in? it should show this already, what version of my app you have?
[Android Apps and Games] CravingMender9:
2, 6 - yes correct. I use the generic one. The inbuilt one doesn't have folder play :(

3. No problem. hopefully we'll get it soon :)

4. Just happened once. Couldn't reproduce. I'll try again tomorrow and let you know. UPDATE-happened again. Sent error using Google's error reporting. Will send logcat tomorrow.

5. Thanks. Looking forward to it

BTW, I use the latest one on play store.
[Android Apps and Games] evilneoprincess:
Hey zen kun, I recently started using your app with my new FM transmitter and I am loving it, thanks! Is there a way to set the app to close on exit (I apologize if I have overlooked this setting)? Currently I have to remember to manually close the app from my notification drawer. TIA!
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
not sure what you mean but you can close the app pressing the "back" button and it will ask if you want close (you can remove this dialog in settings) you can add as "close" shortcut in any slot just go to "cardash features" and select the close option. you can close using tasker/trigger too

Hi,

I'm running Car Dashdroid on a rooted Galaxy S5.

The screen saver function turns on, dimms the screen and shows the clock, but about 30 seconds later disables itself and returns to the main screen.

Do you know why this is occurring?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Not sure let me check, do you have any song? Or something like that?
[Android Apps and Games] Jonzay:
I am not running any songs, and have the widget slot set to empty/none.

I have NFC and 3g enabled, and the app set to prevent screen locking (app only, not other apps), with the screensaver set to 1 minute.
[Android Apps and Games] Jonzay:
Let me know if you need any further information, Car Dashdroid is honestly the best car dock app on offer for Android, and a properly functioning screensaver will be all the motivation I need to make a premium purchase :)
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
I guess I fixed yesterday I was relaying in android api on user interaction but seems that can be triggered for even Bluetooth control so I made some changes I will post the apk here in couple of hours so you can try please
[Android Apps and Games] Jonzay:
No worries, I'll keep an eye out for the apk.
[Android Apps and Games] Jonzay:
Any luck resolving the issue?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
yes but im moving from my house and i did not have internet until today and i was busy at work , sorry ill be uploading the apk asap
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
can you try this link?

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13378085/BetaApps/myCarDashboard-release.apk
[Android Apps and Games] Jonzay:
The same issue is still occurring.

I have Bluetooth and GPS disabled, and the app set to prevent screen locking, with the screensaver set to 1 minute.

The screensaver kicks in and dims the screen, lasts exactly 30 seconds, then lights up the screen again and goes back to the main Car Dashdroid screen. I have my screen timeout set to 30 seconds, but that should be being disabled by the app preventing screen locking.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
what device you have? i just try again and works fine, screen time to 30 and does work, im using lollipop in my nexus 6 tho, you have any music player or something? maybe its an app that its doing something
[Android Apps and Games] Jonzay:
I have a Galaxy S5 SM-G900I running Android 5.0 Lollipop, rooted with CF-AutoRoot. Baseband version G900IZTU1BOA1, Kernel version 3.4.0-3776516 dpi@SWDD6116 #1 Mon Jan 5 21:35:07 KST 2015, Build number LRX21T.G900IZTU1BOA1.

After doing some testing, I have noticed that the screen timeout is the culprit. I have my screen timeout set to 30 seconds by default, and the screensaver is interrupted exactly at the 30 second mark, even with "Prevent auto-lock" enabled. If I change my screen timeout to 10 minutes, it no longer interrupts the screensaver at the 30 second mark. I assume it will still be interrupted at the 10 minute mark, and Samsung doesn't seem to have a 'never' setting or a setting longer than 10 minutes.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
damn you samsung i will try to get a samsung device in sony and my nexus 6 works fine :(
[Android Apps and Games] DragonFlye:
Any luck with consecutive controls? When started the cursor and a keyboard (or remote) is attached the bluetooth icon is control 0. I can move left or right but not down. In other words the main tiles can't be reached using a keyboard
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
I just forgot this let me check this, sorry
[Android Apps and Games] Jonzay:
Hi again,

Is there a way to compose a text message via voice without having received one first? If I get a text message, I am given the option to 'Reply' and compose a text via voice then, but there doesn't seem to be a way to start a text from scratch.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Not yet, but i will add in voice command :)
[Android Apps and Games] thespeed:
It's working great so i bought the premium version :)

Only the Spotify controls aren't working.

But yeah i know it's beta.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
used to work , however spotify changes the behavior :/ and does not use the new API in lollipop, actually you can't even see the media controls on Android lock screen right? (not notification, Lock screen) so im waiting for a workaround or spotify use the new lollipop API :/
[Android Apps and Games] laserman123:
Hi,

Is there any way to change the background image?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Not right now but it's on my plans
[Android Apps and Games] thespeed:
Thanks for the reaction.

I checked the lockscreen but i don't see different Spotify controls.

Only the notification one.

Just soms thoughts:

Is it possible to make a function to exit Car Dashdroid after a certain time

When there is no GPS movement?

Would be Nice :)

Also a force to front screen would be nice after a certain time after connecting with a bluetooth device.

Some other apps are also opening and these will now stay at the front screen.

I know programming takes time but it would be great.
[Android Apps and Games] Jonzay:
I would like to add to the previous poster that I would love the program to have an option to to return to the main screen after a phone call instead of returning to the contacts page. :)
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
that's sound interesting. i guess i can do that :)
[Android Apps and Games] Jonzay:
Since the latest update, the app does not respond to the |<< and >>| buttons on my stereo. They have worked flawlessly in every previous version of car dashdroid, but don't work at all in this one. Other stereo functions (such as phone calls) work fine.

I am using the built in media player on a Samsung Galaxy S5 running Lollipop.
[Android Apps and Games] DragonFlye:
Been using Car Dashdroid for a couple if month now as the main front-end on my cars' Head Unit. Daily use of Car Dashdroid in a car environment proofs somewhat different than on a phone. It's used as the main launcher and it's working fine (apart from the buttons controls). There is really no need to use the underlying android OS.

A quick video: [YOUTUBE]AT0ewLZ8mOc[/YOUTUBE]

As the whole system runs in full immersive mode, there is no navigation bar and no notification bar. That's done on purpose. Not to be distracted, controls are way to small to handle and it give more desktop space to apps.

However I do miss something. I'd like to know if I'm connected to the Internet. (through hostpot, tethered, etc). Would it be possible to show a Wifi status icon in Car Dashroid? For instance, depending on the state of the Wifi status icon, I know if i need start the offline or online nav app.

Music Player Filter

Hi!

First of all... great job on this app! It's that good, that I bought it! :)

Anyway, regarding the built-in music player... is there a way to filter out certain media folders? Currently it shows notification-, alarm-, ... sounds also in the list, but it would be better if there is a choice to exclude certain folders, or to only include certain folders.

Just to keep the built-in music player play list clean... VLC has this possibility, but I rather use your built-in music player! :)

Br, T
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
so the built in music player does not work the >> and << ?? blame samsung for that, but in this case i never hear about it, so i just want make sure its built in media player and no other player that does not work.

well i removed time ago, but i guess the user can choose now for the wifi icon :) i will add this

not at the moment however a quick workaround (what i do) its to make a file

".nomedia" (without quotes and yes its a file) with any file explorer and put in the root of the folder you dont want to be showed, for example in notification folders in ringtones put the .nomedia file and with this my app (and any app) will not read this folder as media. that should work what do you think?
[Android Apps and Games] Jonzay:
I've done some further testing and found that if I open the Generic Music Player (by pressing the 'Music' icon) then going back to the main screen, the |<< and >>| buttons on my stereo start working again. However they will stop working the next time I open Car Dashdroid until I do the same fix.

I didn't have to do this a few versions ago, it used to just work flawlessly.
[Android Apps and Games] tapufd:
Why didn't I think about that myself! :) Totally forgot about that solution... so perfect for me... no need for you to change your app. Thx for the help!

Br, T
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
what android version you have?
[Android Apps and Games] Jonzay:
Android 5.0 on a rooted Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900I
[Android Apps and Games] Jonzay:
I like having incoming SMS's read out, but the Cancel/Reply/Call prompt has been buggy lately. I have a workaround I am comfortable using, but I still need to dismiss the Cancel/Reply/Call prompt after every single incoming SMS. Is it possible for you to add an option where incoming SMS are read out without then showing the Cancel/Reply/Call prompt?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
well could be possible , but exactly what is your bug? maybe i need fix that instead looking another solution, can you tell me exactly the issue maybe i missed something.
[Android Apps and Games] Jonzay:
When the 'Cancel/Call/Reply' prompt comes up, no matter what I say, it just cancels the prompt.

I don't mind, as I use Google Now to compose text messages now, but since the prompt comes up every time a text message is read out, I have to keep dismissing it.
[Android Apps and Games] quasihellfish:
In the Google Play description for Tasker users, it states to use the intent:

"com.nezdroid.mycardahsboard.STOP"

Is this a typo, because it includes the word "dahsboard"? Should it be "com.nezdroid.mycardashboard.STOP"?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
is a typo LOL, however i did the typo on my app and some user had this, however you can use both, i need to remove that typo from play store tho!! i will do it right now before i forget again :p
[Android Apps and Games] BillyTheRatKing:
I was wondering if it'd be possible for you to make the screen saver move around. I'm worried about possible screen burn in on AMOLED screens.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
what do you mean move around?
[Android Apps and Games] BillyTheRatKing:
Similar to the Clock in Daydream mode, built into Android. Where the clock fades in and out of different locations on the screen slowly so it doesn't burn in at a static location.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
i used to have in this way, however i felt the movement could distract the driver so i made it static :o
[Android Apps and Games] BillyTheRatKing:
Ahh... I'm just worried about screen burn in on the Nexus 6P since it has an AMOLED display. I want the app open for reading out texts, but I don't want to leave the screen on because of possible burn in. Will it read texts out with the screen off?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
not at the moment, however i will add an option to wake up screen, however if has a password i cant unlock (for now)

just for curiosity i never heard about the screen being burned because there is no activity on the screen, where i can check this?
[Android Apps and Games] BillyTheRatKing:
It can occur when an image is in one position too long. It takes an extremely long time to occur on LCD, but can happen a bit quicker on AMOLED displays. If you look at AMOLED screen phones (recent Samsung phones) in stores where they have them on display on the same image at high brightness all day, you're likely to see the effect. For example, you might get a permanent "ghost" image of the battery icon since it's always there in the same spot.

Screen wake would be perfect! With smart-lock on Marshmallow, my phone is unlocked when connected to my car's bluetooth, so password entry wouldn't be an issue.
[Android Apps and Games] fma965:
Great app, can we get "here maps" by Nokia working for this?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
if i remember well in settings (maps) you can use here maps instead default google maps
[Android Apps and Games] fma965:
Hi, there is not a option for here.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
You are right I uploaded a new version with here maps support, should be available soon
[Android Apps and Games] fma965:
Will it go straight to Navigation mode rather than map view? Great work and great fast support :)
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
It will take you to the map view and one click to navigate after that, blame here maps developers
[Android Apps and Games] fma965:
O Ok, Well i don't know that i would use it then, i've been trying sygic out recently but when i use voice commands from car dashdroid it doesn't navigate to XXX on sygic it just loads sygic without a destination.
[Android Apps and Games] J. C. Maxwell:
Has anyone successfully used the "quit intent" that was posted on page 13?

I'm trying to use Tasker to exit car dashdroid for me using "com.nezdroid.mycardashboard.STOP" in the "action" area of the "send intent" function.
[Android Apps and Games] Jonzay:
Yeah, all the time. It's an integral part of my NFC setup in my car.

I used Tasker app factory to create an app that runs the following task: http://i.imgur.com/k4AlOhp.png

I then trigger this app using a third party NFC app that responds to a NFC sticker I have placed in my car.

Oreintation Unlock

Zen

Thanks for fixing this it works great. I have a few more requests for your next update.

1. Add a compass heading with degrees next to the speed

2.add the option to turn off your dial pad and add more shortcuts

3. add auto brightness for nighttime and daytime

4. add elevation on the other side of the speed
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Well yea could be done, you can have 16 shortcuts how many you want? The other I need do it after finish my music player :D thanks for feedback

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Guys if someone wants new beta its uploading, "built in" music player with gestures and BIIIIG buttons (seriously) big buttons LOL anyways i want some feedback will be available in couple of hours in play store BUT im uploading as beta so you need join my g+ community

https://plus.google.com/communities/110030480996836432786

let me know any issues :D
[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
I've added two shortcuts to car dashdroid....pandora and songza....while the songza shortcut works fine the pandora one flashes to indicate it recognized the button press but fails to launch pandora. Has anyone else encountered this and is aware of a workaround?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
let me try, but i guess pandora isnt working on my country o.O i will check,

Edited: Ok seems i cant access pandora on my country and my htc one kernel dont have support for vpn , i tried faux kernel but i had bootlops =X so if someone can try it please!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
I tried swapping locations in case shortcut #1 had an issue but seems specific to pandora. I'll try to attach a copy of the apk to this msg in the event someone wants to test. You should not even need to register with pandora to check if the shortcut will open the app. Oh and yes the pandora app runs fine when ran outside dashdroid.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
thanks ,you was right its fixed now, im uploading the apk in beta mode

in my community

https://plus.google.com/communities/110030480996836432786

will be availabe soon for non beta if everything goes right.

Thanks for feedback, and providing apk of pandora (i cnat use it lol)

Contacts on Samsung Galaxy S3

Hello!

I really like you car dash. I have only a problem with the contacts on my Samsung Galaxy S3. There are empty. Mayby a problem with Samsungs Touchwiz?

Kind regards,

Folio
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Hi they are synced with Google. Contacts from SIM? Actually should work because I'm query the android database it's not like custom but I will check this, but can you provide me where they are synced?

Enviado desde mi HTC One
[Android Apps and Games] Folio4me:
I tested a littel bit more. I can see the contacts which I added on my Nexus 7 (Tablet) with goggle contacts (after a sync). I can't see the the contacts from my sim or added on the the phone (even when I say store it on google). So its Touchwiz related.

Kind regards,

Folio
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
i will check it anyways, thats weird behavior, maybe touchwiz "block" the access from 3th party apps in contacts idk,

Very good app.

I would like to change standard icon on the home with my sense 3.6 icons, it's possible?
[Android Apps and Games] ulao2:
This app is perfect, finally an active car dock app! I'll be using this one from here out. Two things to suggest.

1) push for that previous comment, media nav buttons. ( stop, play, next, ect..)

2) when the home button is pressed, please have it go to the car dashdroid not the home screen? This is how some other car docks work, and its sort of a must have. If you are driving down the road and you hit home you then have to run car dashdroid again. Also along the same lines please consider putting an exit app in the menu and removing the back button to exit. I know you can enable the exit warning but again this is in a car, less pressing the best!

3) move settings to a menu instead of a button. Once you do the settings there is no need to have that button on the main dash page, no? Not like you will do any configure down the road :)

So far, things are running great for me, no bugs!!!

FYI: nexus 7 (2013)

Look for an app iconchanger. It lets you make short cuts to apps with custom icons. Its free and will use icon packs.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
thanks i will remove the settings LOL and well yeah i tried make as "homescreen" but its kind difficult because android to set the "home" launcher as default and then "return back" to default when exit, in my research i cant :( however i will still looking :D thanks a lot for feedback :D i hope i can update soon with new UI and finally drop support for GB
