I do follow this project, great work
[Android Apps and Games] elkin205:
Dude good concept, but give it the option to control music apps like Spotify or Pandora no only your default music app. Also a little of the music info wouldn't be bad at all. And to make it awesome add Bluetooth OBDII compatible to get the speed right from the car computer instead of relying on the GPS. Sorry I asked for much. Keep up the good work
[Android Apps and Games] RobboW:
Installed app and subscribed to thread, this is of interest. I often drive with music playing and a speedometer app running on my phone, so one neat app GUI running for both is nice. Will there be any audio enhancement functionality, or perhaps ability to integrate the audio engine of an app like poweramp, so that the Digital Car app just controls it?
[Android Apps and Games] hack14u:
How are y'all doing this, are you connecting to your in-dash via BT, aux cable, or do most folks have a tablet installed in the dash? To me this is the most exciting turn in Androids history. I am so looking forward to more of these types of capabilities. I just don't really see it unless there is a full powered Android head unit. Not sure if a tablet would work so well with 3 amps and 12 speakers, and BT or aux won't cut it since it's another screen that I have to play with while driving unless I am missing something here.
[Android Apps and Games] RobboW:
I just want to use it as a combined speedomter and music app whilst driving, but it could progress into a much bigger and better thing later.

It would also be nice to have just a png of the halo used in the stock logos. So we could incorporate it in custom logos.

So far an amazing app. Just a few questions. How do I use or change the center picture? The GPS and the settings for mph? I'm still playing around with this and really like it so far!! Can't wait to put it in my car.
[Android Apps and Games] palmbeach05:
Well if you're playing around with it, you'll find the settings menu in the app :P
[Android Apps and Games] morgan.smario:
It only allows me to change the background wallpaper. Nothing more. Talking about the gear in the top left corner center?
[Android Apps and Games] palmbeach05:
Yes, you should be able to do more than just that

Just installed this on my Cube-7X Octo Core. Seems to work really well - excellent app.

Figured out the answer to the earlier question about removing saved shortcuts, do this :-

Connect tablet to PC, Mac, etc.

Enable USB Storage

Edit "userdata.xml" in the DigitalCar Settings Folder

Save & restart DC.

To all the peeps asking about detecting Power On/Off for Car Install, try this http://automateitapp.com

Mine is configured so when power goes off (ignition off), the app sets Airplane Mode, Blanks screen, Plus GPS, WiFi & BT off. This saves battery while car is parked. When power comes back on with Ignition, the app re-enables everything.

I'm trying this with a HDMI Android stick(MK809iii) on Kitkat 4.4.2 rooted and getting the error others were wetting too, I've mock locations turned on in Developer options

"unfortunately, Digital Car has stopped" as soon as I open it, any ideas anyone?:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Vansibel:
Also had this problem on my stick, this is how I resolved it

1. Allow mock location and make sure you are getting gps data. For me I'm using a bluethooth gps receiver with Bluethooth gps app.

2. Open google maps --> Setting --> Google location setting, this will open the hidden Location menu. Set it to High accuracy

3. Open Digital car

Good luck
[Android Apps and Games] CathalDub:
Cool I'll try this later and see how I get on

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Vansibel:
Great app, Android was in great need of an good car front end.

Possible improvements:

-I'm guessing many peoples will use this with an android stick, so it should not crash if gps data is not present out of the box

-Some people use hacked factory screen that don't support multi-touch/swipe, so it would be great if you could keep this in mind when developing the UI. For example, up/down arrow should be added when browsing the music

-Video thumbnails should be generated when browsing video trough the music player (maybe use a different view for bigger icon for videos)

-Possibility to play music full screen with some nice visualization would be great (maybe with something like a milkdrop plugin ?)

-Adding some features to the music player, like shuffle

-When choosing a background, please make the left and right arrow touch sensitive for people with screen without swipe capabilities

-Add an option to disable persistent Digital Car shortcut in other app and replace it with an invisible corner click (let the user choose the corner because some aftermarket unit already have a task assigned to a specific corner - just a click, no swipe please)

-Some unit like iVic-5D / iVic-5DR pair the touch feature of Toyota factory screen via Bluetooth as an input device. In most other music app (Ex: Google music player and even Youtube playlist) the steering wheel next/previous control work, but for some reason in does not with song played with the built in music player in Digital car (I'm guessing it emulate a keyboard key combination that skip track in most of the media player which is not implemented in digital car). Would be great is that could be fixed.

Great work overall, will be looking forward to the finished product
[Android Apps and Games] fred_spitfire:
Great review! I wouldn't get my hopes up for the upgrades if I were you though, because I think the dev abandonned the project, haven't seen him in months either here or on his G+ page.

Hey guys, check out the following head unit.

[Android Apps and Games] noctrin:
Building a custom car stereo using an odroid c1, gonna get it in a week and start playing with it. This looks awesome, but i would like to use the gpio on the odroid to interact with the car. Any chance of gpio support or an api to interact with the app externally? Guessing you have no plans to share the source ;)

I need the gpio to detect when the car is on and maybe interact with alarm/switches since i'll power the board from the battery and use the ignition with gpio. So ideally an external method of telling it the power is off/on since it will be always plugged in and maybe add buttons that can be hooked.

I do c++ dev and only did some minor work on android, i'm pretty sure i could just run a bg service for the gpio that issues play/pause requests, but it would ideally be cleaner if i could just hook into your power detection.
[Android Apps and Games] REDOXON:
Hi, I have a Ca-Fi Dashlinq4 car head unit and wonder if someone with a ca-fi or another android stereo is running the DigitalCar app? Play market shows the app as non compatible? Any idea? Is there direct download available? I would love to try this.

Tablet talk or mighty text are two that we have used for text and calls. You cannot control the tablet with your voice, however, as far as I have seen.

I've been experimenting with my android tablet as a permanent car accessory for the better part of the year now. I have tried ACUI, Big Launcher, Car Home Ultra, CarMusic, Car Dock Home, and Aa Linq as well as supporting aps and I must say, well done sir, very impressive. I've been wondering when someone would come up with a traditional front end for car use and you've done it!

[Android Apps and Games] daniel_loft:
Interesting application that I've been waiting for for quite a while! I'm looking forward to further development.

Integration with Tasker (or at least the possibility to run shortcuts) and with PowerAmp would be great!
[Android Apps and Games] snakerl:
Great work :) Sure, there's a lot to do, but it's already a very nice app.

What to do in my opinion:

- more car logos or maybe the possibility to implement your own logo over internal storage/sd card

- bluetooth integration for cars with bluetooth and using the integrated functionalities

- (a choice for) bigger icons/buttons (there are smaller displays and smaller resolution, for me the most important function of this app has to be an easy way to reach my apps without tapping on the wrong icon, especially on a phone instead of a tablet)

- a possibilty to let android read aloud new mails, whats app, sms etc. with the android integrated voice.

- orientation automation (don't force people for a landscape orientation, there are also smartphone holder in portrait mode ...).

- not very important but nice for new users: automatic choose the right pace format (km/h or mph) depanding on the systemlanguage and/or current location. This should be pretty easy cause there are only three countries not using the metric system ( see this pic on Wiki ), congratulation USA btw for this bull**** ;)

You're doing a great work, stay tuned :)
[Android Apps and Games] Varming:
This is a REALLY interesting project! My thoughts and wishes are already described by others in this thread so I would just like to express my support.

I second the Bluetooth speed sensing feature. I use my Note 10.1 2014 Edition for all of my in car needs. But, this app should integrate with Play Music. That is my go to music app. Sometimes I use other apps to play YouTube music with screen off.

Any way, this app has massive amounts of potential. Look forward to seeing it mature. Thank you.

Another idea would be to allow for the end user to be able to pick and chose where all button activation spots are placed and the look of them. Basically make it totally modular. That way it can suit the different needs of different people's. Again, thank you.

Yep, It's on my list to do. :)

You can already add your own logos.. go to external storage / Digital Car / Logo .. and put it in there then restart DC, same with the backgrounds.

Try the new Alpha version on the play store.. details below

Thanks boss. After my post I re-read the title for your thread. Am I an idiot, is this just for tablets, not for phones? Maybe that's my problem...
[Android Apps and Games] BostonDan:
Figured it out with the system log. It seems that it is due to an out of memory (OOM) error for the bitmapfactory (which I saw was supposedly fixed earlier). I have my phone quite loaded with apps that are constantly running and only have, on average, a few hundred MB free.

Not sure what causes the OOM error, as I have not seen an OOM error with other apps.

I also got the app running on my Galaxy note 2, and it looks good. Like others have said, it would be nice to have larger buttons/images (or at least, adjustable).

All in all, looks like a cool app.

Cheers,
