oops I was just adding one more.

4) Consider widgets. Either as on the 8 menus or on the main screen. Like if I wanted to add a compass or something. Or maybe even another screen for widgets tools.

Oh, I read on stack over flow how to remap the home button.

" i hope i can update soon with new UI and finally drop support for GB" I'd just freeze a build and call it the last update for GB. make a google play for it and note that.

thx for begin so understanding!

It looks very similar to the one cones with HTC Sense (HTC Car mode)....
[Android Apps and Games] J. C. Maxwell:
Thanks. I also figured out why it wasn't working for me.

The "my car dashboard" part of the intent "com.nezdroid.mycardashboard.STOP" must have been misspelled by the dev. (The "h" and "s" have been swapped in the word "dashboard" )

I instead used "com.nezdroid.mycardahsboard.STOP", and it works great!
[Android Apps and Games] quasihellfish:
Supposedly, he said he fixed that so both spellings should work:

Can we get music auto playing when app launch? one less step for me to do when i start the car then :)
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
yes i had a typoe however i using the typo and the "good" one

public static final String STOP_APP_RECEIVER = "com.nezdroid.mycardahsboard.STOP";

public static final String STOP_APP_RECEIVER2 = "com.nezdroid.mycardashboard.STOP";

as you can see you can use

"com.nezdroid.mycardahsboard.STOP"

or

"com.nezdroid.mycardashboard.STOP"

Hello, why the icons are so poor quality, I tried PNG icons of different sizes such as 300x300 pixels other. Music are ok.
[Android Apps and Games] cocafelix:
first. - great app - awesome work - clean and useful

so i buy the premium and use this app with an china rns. Everything works great, but when i restart the car (device) the app crashed. So the launcher doesn`t work for me. Any ideas? Os is Android 4.4 - fast boot is off - other launchers works fine. thanks for reply :good:
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
so can you explain the steps to reproduce and what launcher you have? you restart the app when the app is not runing and crash?
[Android Apps and Games] cocafelix:
Thank you for the quick reply. So i use the stock launcher from android 4.4 - i only used different launcher to check if it`s an system or app problem. Maybe it`s a mix of both. - so i did an factory reset from the hole system - download the app from the playstore - activite premium and set up the app as the launcher in the setting - works great till there - when i restart my car - system goes off and restart - a little window blobs on application was terminated - the i have to tap the home button an can choose between the normal launcher and the dashdroid launcher - thats`s all. Cleaning the cache doesn`t help. Sorry for my simple words - i´m totally new in this area :(

Hi Zen Kun. As previously mentioned, I would love to be able to disable the voice prompt for call/reply/cancel after receiving a text. Since it hasn't been implemented, I have had to disable the text reading function of car dashdroid and use another application to perform that function instead.

Would it be possible to add a way to disable the automatic voice prompt?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
yes i guess it will be in the next release, im working on another texting apps (whatsapp,facebook,telegram and so on)
[Android Apps and Games] onthehole:
Hello

Love this app. Just curious if this is normal behavior. On the galaxy s7 edge, when I enable the home button to take me back car dashdroid home, it opens two instances of the app. By this I mean, when I close out the app, I have to do it twice. Is this normal? Thank you!

Any Plan to allow make Car Dashdriod the main launcher

Hello, I bought the prenium version of Car DasDroid for my MTCB android car head unit. I'm very happy with it the big problem is that I want to make it the default launcher of my car head unit and not wait until the device boot and have to launch the app my self (has it all about safety)

Do you have any plan for this feature in near future?

And again thank you for this great app
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
no, is not normal :s let me check, what android version you have? and device? rom?

it should "work" however somehow is difficult some users want the default launcher instead my app but i remember i had this before, but if not i will add an option to "be a launcher" on reboot
[Android Apps and Games] onthehole:
Hello. It's the new Verizon Galaxy S7 Edge. Android 6.0.1
[Android Apps and Games] coyote320:
That will great to have it as default launcher. I understand that most of your users use it with theres phones, but for people like me that use it to have a convinient car interface on theres android car headunit it will be a big plus to have it as default launcher (May be with option that it fill all apps automatically in the free spaces available)

Have any idea on how much time this can be available on the play store? (feature to have as default launcher?)
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
i dont have access to s7 yet but i will try on my n6p

its always like that? or there is any way to reproduce the bug?

PS. Guys whatsapp, facebook messenger and telegram incoming messages (read out loud) and reply are coming!!! still in beta stage tho :p
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
yes you are right, i put it on my todo list and this will be available, should be soon since is not difficult ;)

one question, so you cant never exit?? i mean the back button or exit will not work never??? or how you will go to your main launcher? my idea is "it will remain" even after boot, the only way to close the app is using back button or close button what do you think?

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION] any ideas suggestion i have a bug tracker (or ideas) here

https://github.com/zenyagami/car-dashdroid/issues
[Android Apps and Games] coyote320:
Thanks for your quick response:

Never exit is not an issue (if it's used as default launcher) We just need a button that display all available installed apps (and not to add all installed apps manually as shorcut or every time a new apps is installed add it's shorcut). A button that show a full screen menu with all the installed apps on 3 level to make scroll easy will replace definitely the original launcher. People that wants to return to original launcher will have to set it back in the setting

---------- Post added at 11:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 AM ----------

Other idea you can nadd two button one for all apps and another one for favorites apps (most used, can be also filled automatically according to system statistics)
[Android Apps and Games] coyote320:
Still with new idea: I would love to be enable to choose any icon (image) I want for any app. like the option keep stock image but with more freedom :)
[Android Apps and Games] onthehole:
It's always like that. Not a big deal. I just have to manually close the app and choose 'are you sure', twice. Only had the app for a week or two.

Edit. The behavior doesn't happen until I push the home button to return to the home screen. After doing this, I hit the back button which givea me the prompt to close the app. After closing, another instance of car dashdroid is open as the launcher still.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
favorites app maybe could be nice most used apps

yeah i want this but was easier the icon pack so i can work in other things however i will do it

thanks i will try, when you press home buttom you in car dash screen or another app?
[Android Apps and Games] onthehole:
Car dash screen
[Android Apps and Games] coyote320:
Please consider the idea of the button that show all available apps. I think it's a good feature especially if car dasdroid is used as main launcher :)
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
yeah like a launcher could be and press all apps, i may add this, is not that difficult i think
[Android Apps and Games] init debugger:
Great App.

1) Will you add buttons to use musicplayers? This would improve comfort and safety a lot.

2) Another nice feature would be a notification for some seconds whenever a new song / title is played (just like the navigation notifications).

3) Would it be possible that all apps - except for navigation - that have been launched from within dashdroid will be closed automatically when dashdroid is closed?

4) the App drivemode has some nice features badly put together... Maybe some inspiration with respect to menu structure and depth / adding semit-transparent screens
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:

In settings you can select in widgets music player (built in or generic)

2) Another nice feature would be a notification for some seconds whenever a new song / title is played (just like the navigation notifications).

mmm yeah i guess i can do something like this.

3) Would it be possible that all apps - except for navigation - that have been launched from within dashdroid will be closed automatically when dashdroid is closed?

mmm maybe but i guess this is beyond the app so i will consider but is not critical and im not sure how many people actually will use this.

4) the App drivemode has some nice features badly put together... Maybe some inspiration with respect to menu structure and depth / adding semit-transparent screens

Maybe, is an overlay and a little laggy imo but i can make this possible and some others
[Android Apps and Games] init debugger:
Thank you for answering. Actually I am having a hard time trying to find those buttons mentioned at 1)

I really don't have an option to add a player or widget whithin the app.

Maybe it's just me beeing stupid :)
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
maybe is me i guess i need to make this clear :(

im attaching a screenshot click on "speedometer" and should appear Media player
[Android Apps and Games] init debugger:
THX. Got it.
[Android Apps and Games] Trinbagoman:
I like this app. My main issue is that it does not exit easily. Even when you exit it runs in the background and drains your battery. I am thus considering uninstalling it.

Any help to overcome this is appreciated
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
how do you close the app? and what do you mean does not exit?

this does not run on the background the only moment when runs, is when you select the notification permission, and this can't be avoided , all notification permission apps will run, however if you see the memory usage is like 5mb (so few)
[Android Apps and Games] onthehole:
It seems like it may be the same issue I reported above? I always have to close the app twice. Hit back choose ok, then the app is still there so I have to repeat. I'm still using the app and have just learned to live with it but it still occurs.
[Android Apps and Games] coyote320:
DasDroid as main launcher

hello, Any news about the feature to use this app as main launcher ?? (with a button that show all installed apps with big icons?)

[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
sorry i have been busy but this will be the first thing i will do soon!!
[Android Apps and Games] coyote320:
Thanksss!!!
[Android Apps and Games] onthehole:
I kind of figured my issue out with the app popping back up after closing it. It only ever happens when I use the back button to close the app. Disabled that option, added the built in close app X to the dashdroid page and using that works fine. The back button thing must have something to do with how android M keeps the app in memory as I'm closing other apps that were launched while using car dashdroid. I'm speculating.. of courae. The built in X style close button works great.
[Android Apps and Games] k500zm:
wrong thread
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
i cant reproduce this, is weird, i got android M in nexus 6p but no luck, and in theory the X in the shortcuts should work as the back button! maybe is a setting option can you send me a screenshot of your settings screen to n3zdroid@gmail.com??? maybe i can reproduce the error!
[Android Apps and Games] wu42:
Hi there,

I bought the app and I am nearly happy with it. Just one thing I would like to change.

On the main page I can not find a way to get rid of the "Contacts" shortcut.

I use a CyanogenMod Tablet in my car and there are no Contacts at all on it. I would like to change the Contacts shortcut to something else, more useful in my situation.

Perhaps I missed something on how to change the Contact shortcut on the main screen?

Thanks for a hint in advance,

wu42
[Android Apps and Games] Jaaxx:
I need a little clarification on the intent "com.nezdroid.mycardashboard.STOPPED" event. Does this still work? Or has it ever?

What I want to do is when I exit Car Dashdroid have Tasker either kill TuneIn Radio or simply return me to my Home launcher without having to hit the home button. It seems like the STOPPED intent is never broadcast when exiting. Is it because the Dashdroid listener process is still running?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
this broadcast is launched when my app is closed or stopped, but i guess i need update the main page the broadcast is now

com.nezdroid.cardashdroid.STOPPED
[Android Apps and Games] Jaaxx:
Actually, this is exactly what I am using Tasker for. Apps like Tunein Radio and iHeartRadio like to keep playing after exit under certain conditions (like manually exiting cardashdroid.) Also, TuneIn radio has a Car Mode which pairs really nicely with your app, but if it isn't killed on exit then it comes to the foreground and you have to manually exit.

I have found that sending a Media Control Stop command to each of my music apps on exit handles the situation. It's a little slow and clunky, but it works. I also send a Go Home command to make sure that I end up back on my phone launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
that's nice add on so you can have the setup easy !!!
[Android Apps and Games] DragonFlye:
Set and stay as Launcher

On my NU3001 (car head unit, running 4.4.2) I us Car Dashdroid (premium) as the default launcher which works very well.

The device is set to standby up to 24hrs. If I restart the car within that period Dashdroid is still the main launcher (because nothing actually happened). Even if I reboot the device, it starts with Dashdroid overruling the default launcher.

However, beyond the 24 hour period, the device shuts down and initiates a cold boot when the car has been started. Somehow the launcher parameter is then lost because the default launcher is started and not Car Dashdroid.

Has this something to do with Dashdroid or with the underlying OS? Tried both stock firmware (proprietary launcher) and modded firmware (google launcher).
[Android Apps and Games] Jaaxx:
That sounds like the OS is re-initializing the defaults on boot.

Since Car Dashdroid acts as a launcher while running, why not just add it to your Autostart list so that it gets run on boot?
[Android Apps and Games] DragonFlye:
Sadly, that's not the problem. It does just that after I set the "Set on Boot" parameter. I'd like to have Car Dashdroid available as soon is the device has booted and not wait while the default launcher has started (and moments later Car Dashdroid) . I don't really need the default launcher (and its dependencies), Car Dashdroid suits me fine.

But if, as you said, launcher setting are set to default, there's little to be done. Still, it seems strange is does work across reboots.

P.S. Can you tell me where the parameter for home launcher is stored (xml, /data/data)?
[Android Apps and Games] Jaaxx:
Off the top of my head I cannot recall, but I'm sure you will need root.

The problem is I don't believe Car Dashdroid registers itself as a launcher, otherwise you could just freeze any other launchers on your system leaving CD as the only option for the OS.
[Android Apps and Games] 515635:
I tried all car dashboard app, so far this app is the best.

Only small issue with icon quality, it's blurry and jagged even I use other icon pack. I use 7" Lenovo tablet. Any workaround to solve this issue?

Tried desktop visualizer trick but icon still blurry and jagged
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
im trying to fix this, but seems i cant get high resolutions icons :s however im working on this, an icon pack should work maybe
[Android Apps and Games] pettergulbrandsen:
Love the app, but there is one lack of posibility.

It would be nice if it had worked as an normal launcher. So shortcuts that is added shows up in the menu, og could be added to the menu/launcher

Ex: I use parallel space to open two different account of an app, if I use the option to add an shortcut to "desktop" this is not possible to add to Car Dashdroid. Don't find it anywhere.

It is there, on the main screen of my original launcher. But can't find it in the Dashdroid in the "add" opportunity.

And, don't know if it is possible at all, but make the media buttons work with Spotify, and an button for playlists inside Spotify.

could you help me?

ive installed this app at my car multimedia device, its suppose to work as default launcher on it, but it isnt.

ive checked all checkbuttons connected with autorun, but it still doesnt work. how should i fix it?

sry for my bad english.

The multimedia is Android?

the home button is not working? or the app is not working?

Thanks

yes, android 5.1.

home button works well, but it returns me to stock launcher homescreen.

app isnt working as a launcher. I've download "launcher manager" it has all installed launchers at its list, except car dashdroid.

[Android Apps and Games] Jonzay:
Hi,

I've just gotten a Galaxy S8, and installed Car Dashdroid onto it. However, I can't find the AMOLED Black theme anymore. You have several different themes, but the only black theme available isn't pitch black, it's more of a grey.

My old phone still has the pitch black theme from before you added multiple themes. How do you select the pitch black theme on a new install?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Hi, in the settings in the screen tab, there is an option called themes you can select black theme from there
[Android Apps and Games] Jonzay:
It might be a product of the screen on a Galaxy S8 then, because that seems to be more of a light grey than a pitch black.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Do you mind share a screenshot just to check please?
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Hi and kudos on the great app!

I've just installed it on my android headunit and it works almost perfectly.

The only thing i was not able to do is to show in the dialer the phone number set as default in google contacts.

When a contact has multiple numbers it looks like the last one is always used, am i missing something?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
well in theory I use the Android default number for the contact, maybe something changed in new Android version, what android version you have?
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
the headunit is a 6.0 (very forced by the manufacturer because the kernel is actually a 4.4), but the behavior is the same also on tablets with real android 5 or 6
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
do you mind share a screenshot of the contact "default" number and the one in my app please?

Car Dashdroid 2.9.2_2 is really buggy

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

first of all, thank you for your marvelous Car Dashdroid app! :) I am a happy user for almost 2 1/2 years now - just until the recent update.

Sorry to point this out, but the 2.9.2_2 update is full of bugs and messes everything up. :( Please compare the attached screenshots from before the update (version 2.8.43) and after the update (version 2.9.2_2):

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

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

The four bottom tiles have been shifted around and also partly replaced by 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 app, I use Navigon, but prefer to use your default picture.

Generally it's great that you keep on improving the app, but the latest update really is two steps back instead of any improvement. Well, I can drag and drop the tiles now, but actually I didn't need this. ;)

For now, I re-installed a TitaniumBackup of version 2.8.43, which I luckily had, and stopped Play Store from auto-updating your app. But this can only be a temporal solution, since I don't like to hinder apps drom auto-updating.

Please fix the bugs as soon as possible (or even revert on Play Store to the well working 2.8.43 version) to make me a happy user again. :)

TIA
