Hey, you speak some German? :)

I just sent you my email address via PM.

Since the current theme numbers mismatched the default ones in the dump, I tried to set the default light and dark theme. This at least brought back the bluetooth, brightness, rotation and immersive mode symbols, but the rest of the bugs still remained. I reverted back to version 2.8.43 for now.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
I just moved to Germany, Im learning :P

ABout this:

The bluetooth, brightness, rotation and immersive mode symbols are missing.

->I know what is, Im working on a fix (mismatched id after support library update ,quick workaround go to themes in settings and it will reset the themes)

The four bottom tiles are misaligned (they are broader than the two top tiles and also the horizontal gap is too big now).

(I will take a look)

The four bottom tiles have been shifted around and also partly replaced by other functions.

->what other functions?

Also the tile picture cannot be changed anymore or been set to the default picture. For example, I use the Google Dialer app as my phone app, but prefer to use your (default picture, to keep the nice and consistent look of Car Dashdroid. Same with the navigation in the first screensapp, I use Navigon, but prefer to use your default picture.

-->(I need to think what I will do or disable drag and drop
[Android Apps and Games] okij:
Nice. :) That's a long way from Mexico! Are you studying in Germany?

Yes, that's what I already found out.

You can see this on the screenshots that I posted yesterday, from left to right:

The first tile, which I set to Google Dialer, became Contacts.

The built-in music became Navigon and lost the built-in navigation icon which I assigned to that tile.

Navigon became Google Dialer and lost the built-in contacts icon which I assigned to that tile.

Only voice command hasn't been changed.

At least for me, drag and drop isn't an important feature. But anyway, if you decide to keep drag and drop, it would be fine if the user could not only restore the default tile icon, but choose from all built-in icons for each tile. This way you could even improve your app by adding more built-in icons which match the design style of Car Dashdroid.

E.g. (instead of the Contacts tile, which I currently use) it would be nice to have a Google-like icon for the dialer tile, like the two variants which I quickly made up and attached to this post.

Car Dashdroid 2.9.3 is still buggy

Hi [MENTION=2310262]zen kun[/MENTION],

since you released a small update to version 2.9.3, I want to give you some feedback (please also see attached screenshots):

The bluetooth, brightness, rotation and immersive mode symbols are now visible again, so this bug is fixed.

In comparison to version 2.8.43, the tile are still misaligned. The horizontal gap in the middle is still too big and the distance between the top tiles and the status bar is too small.

The four bottom tiles still are shifted around and also partly replaced by other functions.

Also the problem with the tile icons (they cannot be changed anymore) still exists.

I reverted to 2.8.43 again, but just as a temporal solution.

What's the current state of development, are the bugs being worked on? I would like to see a fully working version soon again. :) The 2.9 versions until now are really worse than the 2.8 versions. :(

For the tile icons I would suggest that you implement it the way it works in Nova Launcher. There you can freely assign an icon from the built-in ones or choose any icon from an icon pack that is installed on the system.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Hello, mainly I fixed a lot of issues and crash , the problem or atleast main problem was my bad very bad knowledge of Android ? , the database is a mess so migrating is a pain in the ass to not affect more users, I'm trying to make a way to have the previous menu, maybe make not drag and drop... But my idea of this was for the future, have a way to drag and drop widgets...

I'm thinking maybe not drag and drop and previos like version...

[MENTION=2310262]zen kun[/MENTION]: Now it's already been a month that you released version 2.9.x. It introduced some quite annoying bugs which still haven't been fixed again.

Honestly, I'm really disappointed by this. Maybe it would be OK if this app was freeware, but I paid for it and for commercial software I'm expecting some proper, timely support.

When can we expect a new version which fixes the bugs that I listed?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
I'm sorry, i did a lot of chances and I can't just do a rollback without affect all the users, that's why I'm doing slowly, are you beta tester? Usually I push this fix there first.

This bugs already solved on beta, i started the rollout but slowly to see if there is crash or any issue. I'm sorry for the delay.
[Android Apps and Games] okij:
Thanks for the quick reply!

How can I become beta tester? I would like to try the fixed version.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Is already at 60% rollout

You can go to play store, in the bottom of the app description should say something about, join to beta
[Android Apps and Games] okij:
Hm, I successfully joined beta group on https://plus.google.com/communities/110030480996836432786, but becoming a tester for Car Dashdroid on https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.nezdroid.cardashdroid doesn't work - it just reloads the same page and shows the button "Tester werden" ("become a tester") again. So Play Store still only offers me official version 2.9.3. Do you first have to confirm me as a tester or am I doing something wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
It can take up to 2 hours, that's because Google play. Try force close, that might work
[Android Apps and Games] okij:
Thanks, I've now installed beta version 2.9.5 and can confirm that the bugs that I've reported for 2.9.2 and 2.9.3 are fixed! :good::victory:

The only problem that I encountered was that all custom tile settings got lost during the update, so I had to set them again. This could have been due to the fact that I updated from 2.8.43 (the last version that worked well for me) and not from 2.9.3 (the current official version on Play Store). However, it was not a big deal for me to set the tiles again, because I had screenshots from 2.8.43.
[Android Apps and Games] bonisoul:
This problem ocurred to me too. You can try NoxApp, that can run multiple accounts of the game. Maybe you can added to the menu. Problem solved. Good luck.

Just got Car Dashboard and so far I like it enough to go premium to remove the ads. I am having a problem getting the Spotify music controls to work. Reading through this thread and doing some a search or two I'm not sure if it works. Can someone give me some insight on whether it works? If so, how do I set it up? I may be missing something. Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Hello, going for premium is always appreciated :)

you need go to settings->widget and in Speedometer(or music controls) select Generic Music controls (accept notification permission) and you should be able to see spotify music now.
[Android Apps and Games] Bill9994:
WOW. Fast reply. That worked. Great app. Happy Holiday!!

I'm having issues with the voice interface. When a text comes in, it tries to open voice command to "read or cancel", but errors out that the network isn't available. All other network services work as expected.

Error message says "your audio will be sent to Google to provide speech recognition service." This is new...
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
That's weird, what device you have and android version?
[Android Apps and Games] Tres3:

[Android Apps and Games] Totoix:
Dear zen kun.

I've sent private mail to you. Then I discovered the discussion here. If you answer my questions here, you can ignore the mail.

I just purchased CarDashdroid from google play. I use latest version in the store (2.9.17). I really thank you for the best dashboard app.

I use a head unit (newsmy carpad) Android 4.4.2. I want to use car dashdroid permanently and as a primary launcher.

1-After I set the boot option and I soft reboot the device everything goes as expected. It starts with the car dashdroid launcher.

However, when the car is shut down (ignition is off, meaning the head unit is cut from power), and then powered on, it asks for the launcher. In the list no car dashdroid. So I have to start with Launcher3 in this case.

Whatever I do (including cleaning the defaults of the apps) I could not solve this problem. I always want that the headunit to start with car dashdroid.

2-Street names are not shown even I set the option for showing. It always shows "---". Don't know what to do about this.

3-Compass does not show the right direction. It stays as showing the top edge of the screen as north.

4-Automatic daytime/nightime theme change option was set. But it always shows light theme even in the nighttime.

Requests:

1-A standalone cardashdroid launceher that starts the app (regardless of the option in the settings)

2-A fix in the street name showing problem.

3-If compass uses built in gyroscope, an option to select the source of this information which allows to use GPS for direction information.

4-Two intents one for swithcing theme from light to dark and another for switching theme from dark to light. So I can use tasker to switch theme based on timing.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Hello I saw your email but I prefer using a computer to answer this, so here you go:

1) I will check this , I was not aware this was happening after shutdown. I will check this.

2) The street name is working so far, Do you have GPS permission enabled and Internet connection?

3) compass is kind of faulty, some sensors are wrong sometimes and some edge cases but I will work to improve the compas (need gps too)

4) This should be fixed by now, try the beta version (soon to production) v2.10.4
[Android Apps and Games] Totoix:
For 1) Thank you so much. Waiting for this to fix. I always need to click on Car dashdroid through the default launcher.

For 2) I checked the apps that request GPS in settings. It shows car dashdroid in the list. It shows the speed. I have internet, and I am in a road that has a name according to google maps.

For 3) I am asure the gps is granted. Waiting for this to fix then.

For 4) I just downloaded the latest version in the betatester mode. I will inform if it still does not work as expected.
[Android Apps and Games] malebolge:
Is possible answer or refuse call with voice?

Thx Francesco

[Android Apps and Games] Totoix:
For the item 4,

I tested the latest beta version (2.10.4). It does not automatically switch to dark theme in nighttime even it is in automatic mode. But it dims brightness. I need both in nighttime: Dimming the brightness and the dark theme.
[Android Apps and Games] Tres3:
It's Google

It does seem to be a Google issue. Detecting poor network, when it isn't.
[Android Apps and Games] Totoix:
I discovered that, dimming is because of the tasker rules. So, the problem still exists, I need both dimming and nightmode automatically after sunset. I can do it automatically if intents is provided. I can setup tasker rules to sitimulate car dashdroid based on time. For example, after 7 pm, it sends use dark theme intent to car dashdroid.

So the main two problems: 1-startup as default launcher after power cut, and 2-automatic theming according to day/night times.

I thought I can use these features If I purchase, but still I can't. I really require these features to efficiently utilize my head unit.

Again thank you very much for the best dashboard application.
[Android Apps and Games] CrTF92:
Hi, I want your help please, I want to know if I can change the icons and their names pls; I love your app I purchased premium and thank you, I use it everyday as launcher on my car
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Hello you can use custom launcher icons packs, any icon pack for launcher like nova and so on will work, the name of the app you can't change it yet
[Android Apps and Games] Lizard:
I'm an happy user of Car Dashdroid (Premium), on my OP3 running Android 8.0.

I have 2 small suggestions:

- Option to disable the startup beep notification.

- I have Dashdroid setup to autostart when it's connected to my BT carkit and is charging.

When I restart my car after I needed to refuel, Dashdroid pops to front over Waze, even though it's already running in the background.

It would be nice to have an option to disable the pop to front.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Hello the option i suppose to disable... kinda annoying .... new android API :s

mmm maybe I can add the option if is running do not popup

Hey [MENTION=2310262]zen kun[/MENTION], I just installed 2.3.12 and the tiles are still misaligned in landscape mode, there is an ugly wide gap between the top tiles, please see attached screenshot. :(

Why did you break the layout and are not able to fix it again in four weeks of time?? :mad:

Hello, I have another bugs and important things to fix, the UI glitch was not that much, however I just fixed, will be in the next version.

[Android Apps and Games] okij:

Will you push a new version soon?

About other bugs: In version 2.3.9 I had the problem hat the weather widget didn't update. I'm not sure if it was just because I set Yahoo as weather provider, only today I switched to Forecast IO and haven't checked it in my car yet.

Is this a known bug?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Apparently Yahoo stopped working, seems they shutdown the server, I'm sorry for the inconveniences, for now you can use openweather or forecastio,

I will push soon, you can join to the beta, I push there faster,
[Android Apps and Games] okij:
No, apparently they just changed something API-wise. I'm using the Chronus weather widget app and its dev also had some problems with the Yahoo API some time ago which he managed to fix.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Thanks, I will take a look and try fix this too :)

Hello since android 10 my device no longer recognizes Car Dashdroid as home launcher. So I can't set Dashdroid as launcher. In Settings, Apps, Default browser, Dashdroid no longer visible as one of the launchers. I removed the app and reinstalled, no success.

Anyone with a possible solution? Thnx.

I'm on the Samsung Note 10+ device. My son also, he had the same problem.
[Android Apps and Games] rabarkar:
Same happens here, but in S10+, and it's not only with Car Dashdroid, it happens with other car apps like Automate. It seems Android 10 gets pretty agresive with permissions on what applications do to autolaunch and launchers.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
will be awesome if you share the link maybe i can look into, i read time ago of that but only works on pre HC builds (because was a bug)

my "idea" (and i did the half ) was save package name of the actual launcher, set my launcher as default (all went ok untill this moment) the problem its "return" back to previous launcher,there was a problem since seems sets default launcher can only set by the same app running. the last option and not like the best its after my app "exit" i will clear the home launcher settings so the user need to choose the default launcher (instead of my app) as launcher and select "always" this behavior will happen every time my apps runs (not the best IMO) but can be a "workaround"
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
lol yeah "i inspired" because i liked htc car, however htc missed some features and custom apps, thats why i made sometghing like that :P but i will re design more like kit kat :P

[Android Apps and Games] ulao2:
ok, I have exhausted all resources on a feature I need. I tried every free/lite app on the market and I can not find anything to do this. I never really though about car dashboard doing it but it is fitting so here goes.

back in the car stereo days, yeah I know its a long time ago, kenwood had this safe era feature. When the unit came on, volume when to %10 and started to gradually climb. Once it hit last know level it stops. So if you have %90 volume and you turn off the car, its not BAM! when you get back in and turn it on. So I was wondering if on car dashboard start, you could replicate this?

Two things have to be true to pull it off.

1) however I start car dashboard up, it has to be done before the music player starts.

2) I forget what I was thinking here, ill fill it in if I remember.

As per functionality, when climbing back up, any volume key should stop the climb. So if it is at %10, 15,20,25 [ and I hit volume up ] it stops at 25 and does a volume up once.

Hope I explained that well. Do you think that feature could be added?

[Android Apps and Games] ulao2:
Wow I sure hope you would consider :laugh: Though will the head set check for use DAC users? Or maybe just a simple check box option.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Not sure about what its DAC :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] ulao2:
Its sound out via USB instead of the crapy 4 bit head phone jack.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
yeah, i was refering all the out sound, but the behavior like when you connect headset
[Android Apps and Games] ulao2:
Oh, I thought you meant physically using the head set jack because you dont do that with DAC.
[Android Apps and Games] ulao2:
How is progress? Any thing new ready or in the works, my new set up is begging for features. Not sure if this was mentioned yet but swiping up and down from the main screen for use to more runnable apps would also be a great to have. This is still my favorite car app!

Request: Bigger Delete Button in Portrait view

Hi,

About UI ergonomics I would like to ask you if you can make much bigger the delete button in the dialing page. I use Car Dashdroid mainly in portrait view and when I try to dial a phone number usually I can not easily tap the delete button because it is really tiny in comparison to the other numbers and dial buttons.

Here's an screenshot to point the issue with red circle over the delete button.

Bug: Network indicator not working and Landscape mode

Hi,

I want to notify two bugs.

First, the network indicator icon is not working. I do have network signal and it does not appears in Dashdroid icon as shown in the screenshot Below with the red circles. My phone is a samsung galaxy S Advance i9070 with JB 4.1.2 (Stock ROM with Touchwiz) and rooted.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/qAjhcqeFhroum0zPcr_6jNjQHllwR0x77_RH7GsztN5qKWHh-w2yCA=s600

Second the landscape view may not work sometimes as shown in next screenshots, then it would be better to allow auto-rotation for Car Dashdroid and fix the UI layout for both views.

[Android Apps and Games] luisblop:
Not bad. It's a cleaner UI and Landscape works better.

However I have a question concerning the [HOME] function. Does this premium feature allows Car Dashdroid to start in Car Mode?

Also in Portrait view the weather broadcast it's not full visible. Here's an screenshot.

I'm on JB 4.1.2
