Awesome app. . It finally works now for my Note 3. Is it possible for you to add a cadillac logo. I was thinking maybe this one. [IMG="cadillac logo"]http://www.msais.net/wp-content/themes/iphonewallpapers/backgrounds/cadillac-logo.jpg[/IMG]

RE: link to the community

The link you posted gives a 500 error. Is there an updated link?
[Android Apps and Games] damngood98:
link is working fine sir....try again?:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] CdRsKuLL:
Wow.. that's what I call a reply :) Really glad you like it so far and you have some really good suggestions I'll look into adding. I've been busy coding and the next release is only a day or so away now. The main additions are the ability to change the text at the top as well as the buttons at the bottom colours. This is both for the day / night settings so you should be able to give them a nice colour for night driving with a dark background but then for day you can go white with a nice bright background. I'm also halfway through adding a graphic equalizer, got the code done, just need to sort out the graphics.

I think I'm going to feature freeze it and go bug hunting before releasing it fully on the play store. Once it's released I will be then adding more stuff but I just want to get it out properly first.

I've tried to find the DC blob disappearing bug but can't duplicate this at all. I can open a few different apps and the DC blob just stays on top all the time. Are you running a task manager maybe that's clearing apps no longer in focus maybe?

Thanks,

Steve

Hey [MENTION=225284]CdRsKuLL[/MENTION] you have a PM. Please check.
[Android Apps and Games] hawkm:
First looks

Hey there! I saw this app and decided to see how it would work in car before buying a tablet car mount.

For reference, I'm using a Nexus 7 1st Generation, and hopefully will be using a dash mount with a OTG cable for charging and adding a USB stick for music. For testing, I held it up to where it was to see the seating on the dash, as well as using an OTG cable without the charging feature.

When I first opened the app, I thought it was extremely nice. Simple, to the point, not that hard to comprehend what each button does. I liked that it also had a speedometer built in, but the compass kinda threw me off at my first glance. I also thought it would be a good place to have the time if the driver chose so. (In my car, I have a small analog clock, but the light is burnt out anyway, so I never see the time.)

So far the customization features are nice, and I did see your post about adding more options as updates come out, which I believe is probably the best way to go.

I also liked when switching in and out of apps, there was a chat head to get back into the app.

The only thing that really confused me at first was the swiping for the wallpapers and logos. Unfortunately, my car logo wasn't there (Infiniti) but I created one for it, so I'll link it onto the post in case anyone else is wanting it or if you'd like to add it into the app. I also did the newest KIA logo as well. (The KIA one is a little ****ty because there is no digital copy that I found, but I did find a high quality photo.

My main request would probably be to be able to change the speedometer to get rid of the directional compass, and to toggle a clock in there as well. Otherwise, I think you have a great app here, and I can't wait to see what other features will be implemented into it!
[Android Apps and Games] hollywoodfrodo:
LOL - Yeah, I can be a devs best friend or worst nightmare, depending on the perspective - but it's one of the things I do well - look at something as it is and come up with a dozen ways to make it better. :)

As for the disappearing floating DC icon to get back to it, still happens. The app is still active. If I back out of the opened app (just tried it using the AAA app) using the back button once I exit the app, it exits back to DC. As I mentioned it's a new tablet I bought specifically to set up for in car use so I don't have a ton of experience with it - could be a bug with this specific tablet. (The new Asus 7" Tablet with Intel processor.) Again, it doesn't happen when I open an app or even multiple apps - it only happens when I am in an app and go to a new screen within that app.

Makes sense to debug and get on the play store then work on additional features. Are you gonna put it up for free or charge or have a free app with ads and in-app purchase to get rid of ads? Hopefully you can get a return on the time and energy you've invested!

One other thing I forgot to mention before - I'd love to see DC set up as a Home Launcher. For those like me who are using it on a tablet that will be a full time car tablet, it makes sense to have it as the home launcher which would also open up more possibilities (like pressing home key from any app returns to DC). Might eventually thing of having both apps separately on play store - one as just an app and one as home launcher.

Really looking forward to all the great things to come!

Eric
[Android Apps and Games] CdRsKuLL:
Hi Eric, I'll have another play with the DC blob to see if I can get the same here, just my tablet is in the car right now and it's nearly my b/time. I do intend to put an in-app purchase on it but not sure the best way if I'm honest. I can either disable bits from the start or I was thinking of a trial period then maybe disable bits.. not made my mind up as yet. I have had it running as a launcher as it's only a couple of lines of code and it seems to work well, so this will defo be an option like you say either a separate app or if it's possible a setting. I did hope to get another release out this weekend but it's just not worked out as I've come across a few problems with the equalizer addition which I need to work out first. The main equalizer is working, but the default presets held when loaded only appear right at the bottom of my sliders so I'm going to code my own presets in + a few user ones whilst I'm at it.

Again, thanks for the feedback and ideas, it helps lots.

Steve
[Android Apps and Games] hawkm:
You probably don't need to put it as an option, but rather have it pretend like its a launcher. After the first initial start up, it will ask to set your default to whichever you choose. People who want a standalone app can choose their current launcher, while others who want it astheir main launcher can select that! I'm just throwing out a suggestion in case its easier to code.

Also for the payment, I'd suggest a specific day amount (5 to 7 days) demo and then add limitations like changing around the preferences or the app closing every 15 to 30 minutes. This gives consumers time to test and see if this app is right for them. An app like this should be paid for.
[Android Apps and Games] hollywoodfrodo:
Hey Steve -

Just a quick update. My tablet had a software update and after that the DC icon seems to be working fine. Maybe it has something to do with the update or maybe it has nothing to do with that and I just needed to restart my tablet after installing DC for that to work. Anyway, it does seem to be working as it should for now - yay!

Side note - I installed and am testing out Car Home Ultra - it's worth checking out for some ideas. DC is much better aesthetically!!! But Car Home does have some of the functionality I listed like being able to launch Shortcuts as well as apps. It somehow "acts" like a home launcher without actually replacing your home launcher - though that is less important if the DC button is working as it should I think. Also that dev figured out how to have the media controls work with any media player - there's a button that allows you to select any media player. Anyway, not that you want to "copy" Car Home Ultra - but again, your layout and look is definitely superior - he just has a jump on some of the functionality because he's been at it longer.

As for monetizing, I tend to like the "full version for X days, then limited version after that or in-app purchase for full" model. Definitely want to give people the opportunity to experience and fall in love with the full version so they'll want to buy it. I think 14-30 days is ideal. That's just my opinion. Not sure what your thinking about for price, but with some increased functionality and options, I'd say $4.99 would be a legitimate price.

Latest version direct download?

Hi,

I am really interested in this app and would like to try it out.

I currently use Car Home Ultra and it works a treat on my G2, but I like the screenshots of yours and think that once it is fully developed it could be a real contender.

My problem is, I joined the google group and clicked the link to go to the play store entry, but it will not let me download. Are you only uploading to the UK Play store?

Google Play (UK?) claims I have no devices and shows your app. My "normal" play login shows all four of my devices (2 tabs and 2 phones) but does not seem to know your app exists.

I have no problem side-loading for now, but the latest direct download showing is alpha .21.

Can you help me out? I am pretty good at giving feedback to devs!:cool:

---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ----------

Nevermind, I figured out a workaround. On the UK Play, I added the app to my wishlist, then logged into my regular Play page.

Brought up my wishlist and found it there with a working link.

Happy camper now. :laugh:

[MENTION=225284]CdRsKuLL[/MENTION]

Thank you for your latest update on the settings menu, working with the colors is fun!

What I would like very much, is an extra setting:

- Start Digital Car, when connected to a specific BT Device ( in my case, my AppRadio 3);

- Stop Digital Car, when that Device is disconnected

Maybe you can put this in the existing or a second settings screen.
[Android Apps and Games] agentdr8:
Tasker could easily handle that. I think ARlibertor and ARUnchained can also do that as well, if you're running either of them.
[Android Apps and Games] klaariskees:
You are right, Tasker can easily handle that. ARliberator is no friend of mine, so I cannot tell you if it could launch another App.

I am happy to use ARUR, combined with Digital Car. Yes, I use Tasker to launch Digital Car and that works OK.

To me, AppRadio3, ARUR and Digital Car are an unbeatable combination together.

Still, that is not a reason for me, not to want Digital Car to be able to indipendebly start on boot, or on a certain BT connection. I think it will be an asset to Digital Car, to be able to do so.

Not everyone is charmed by using Tasker.

Thank you anyway, for your data on the subject!
[Android Apps and Games] <Android-NOOB>:
Awesome :good:
[Android Apps and Games] klaariskees:
Digital Car settings disappeared

DC can be setup to your needs. I tested the app on my SGN3, on my 10.1 Android tablet and on my HDMI stick MK802IV.

The settings are -of course- saved by the app, for the next use of DC.

Up till now, I faced an unexpected loss of all the settings in all the installations of DC.

I can start DC a number of times without any trouble, but the next time, DC starts up without any of the saved settings.

This will happen on my phone, tablet and HDMI stick.

Is there any possibility to keep the settings at any time, without losing them?
[Android Apps and Games] racenrich:
GREAT, absolutely great!

Installed on my Nexus 7 and hooked up via the aux cable, no BT in car, and WOW. Played around with for about an hour, flawless so far, love the interface and overall performance. I can even use the controls on the radio for vol, mute, etc.

If there was one thing that would interest me the most is...when a song is playing, and your are in folder view listing songs...some kind of indication of the song in playing?

I agree with others, this should be some kind of pay app...a one price app, not something i have to keep paying for options and all.

Great job, kudos to you, the DEV.

I'm keeping an eye on the thread daily! :)

[Android Apps and Games] movy:
Great job. Do you know how can I disable the bottom bar to appear?
[Android Apps and Games] uberNoobZA:
Very nice looking app. Exactly what I am looking for to use with my Pioneer AppRadio

However, I was unable to get the app to launch on my Justop K10A Android Stick. From what I have read in this thread, this seems to be linked to the need of the software being able to get location details from GPS, and as the Android Stick does not have GPS, and location settings have been removed from the ROM, it silently crashes as soon as I launch Digital Car app. I thought that I would have more success if I connected the Android Stick to my Pioneer AppRadio head unit (as the head unit would provide GPS information) and then launched the app, but it still crashes (however, now it displays the DC logo and then crashes, with the standard Android crash message).

Using it on my stock, rooted Nexus 5 works like a dream and gives me no issues (as long as I am in landscape mode when launching it, as it sometimes crashes if launched in portrait mode). Though I have used other car launcher type apps (such as Car Home Ultra), this app looks better.

Things I like -

You can change the wallpaper easily

You can display your car logo in the center of the screen (tapping the compass allows you to display a logo instead)

Looks good on my 7 inch head unit, when running on my Nexus 5.

Allows you to hide the navigation keys on KitKat and later, making the whole screen available

Easy to change shortcuts

It's easy to get up and running, and looks good in it's default settings

Scroll left and right with finger on homepage of app will goto previous / next media file in the folder

If you goto another app, or the Android desktop, the app shows an overlay button you can tap to go back to Digital Car app

What I think could be improved on

Built in media player is very basic

You need to point it at a list of media files for it to play those files.

You can't make a playlist using media files from different folders

You can't set it to shuffle media files​

When you launch the app, it automatically starts playing the last song you were listening to, even if you stopped playing it before you shut down the app

Once you set a shortcut on the homepage, you can't remove it

Media buttons don't (at least not when I tried) control playback of third party media players. I understand this is experimental

You are limited to one page of shortcuts
[Android Apps and Games] uberNoobZA:
If you have Kitkat or later, in the options in Digital Car, select 'Hide navigation bar'
[Android Apps and Games] d00m1n0:
Hello,

first off, thanks for that verry nice piece of software!

I was searching something like this for a few weeks.

I think your app fits into my needs quite perfectly.

But i am still missing some features:

- I would be very happy to have only one shortcut on each shortcut field (in full size of the field), without the normal Icons, maybe just the Name of the app.. -> this is because i'm using this on the 5.5" Screen of my OPO where the single buttons are too small.

- The player buttons and volume buttons don't work for spotify, which is the only player app i am using.

- maybe a setting to increase / decrease the size of the GUI ( without nav. Bar and Status Bar) would be nice, because i could have it a bit bigger on my sceen :)

- Also i am missing to see if i get a whatsapp message ( or some other app ) in the status bar.

- For full perfectness it would be so damn great if i could connect the speed info in the center with torque or directly ODB2 to see speed and maybe RPM from my car's ECU ( maybe with some flashing animation when defined RPM is reached similar to the racing meter plugin for torque)

These would be some features i would love to see.

Bit if there's just working player buttons for spotify i would be verry happy :)

Again, great job and keep up the good work!

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] racenrich:
Not too quote a whole bunch, but i will agree with everything stated and requested here, very well said.

If i can add the following to the requests :)

Display showing the time duration of song playing; touching that area would switch between duration time and remaining time.

in folder display having the song playing highlighted...however, I do like the top indication

All and all this is my daily use for my Nexus 7 now in the car, GREAT work, keep it up!

Thanks much,

Rich K.

[Android Apps and Games] guap:
nice app, but in my humble opinion is not so useful for now. Sorry :p but this is intended to be a constructive criticism :) let me explain

I had a tablet (huawei mediapad) embedded in my cockpit for almost 2 years now, this is my final build after many trials (buttons are usb-driven keyboard disassebled and re-routed) and I think I have a bit of experience:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ma7Dr5eOC2o

imho the PRIMARY lack of your project are the missing always visible shortcut on bottom bar to rapidly switch between navi/music/whatsapp and so on, they are absolutely necessary while driving

the second problem are the icons, they are WAY too small and close

the third problem (if you plan to have a built in device in your car) is the lack of a bluetooth handsfree "server" mode for android, and even on my solution isn't fixed at all (i use a twin sim on the tablet)

Also, the music interface seems a bit "chinese" but it's a matter of personal taste, I prefer poweramp with a nice skin that also gave me equalizer and the possibility to set different volumes for navigation and/or music

good luck :laugh: I spent MANY time to have all installed and configured (tasker/torque/desktop visualizer), can't wait to see a project that includes all aspect of a car front end in few clicks :good:
[Android Apps and Games] westvandude:
Is the developer monitoring this forum?
[Android Apps and Games] fivecheebs:
