I also have the same issue where the app won't get usb permissions on restart if it wasn't left in the forground.

Also I just went to instal the maintenance release 2 but no matter how hard I try I can't unzip it on the unit. It tells me no permissions. Even though I checked the permissions I used on both astronomy and win zip. Looks like I'll have to unzip on a pc but it's a right pain in the butt.

Nope, no way.

Hi,

I have a PX5 Unit with 4GB RAM. Also Malaysk Android 8.0 is installed.

I have now tried the Masterpiece release 1 and 2. In Both releases nothing happens if i press the search button. Then I installed the masterpiece version and after pushing the search button the Window Searching appeared, but no percentage value was displayed, only "search..." and nothing happened.

The Stick I use is the Joying Stick recommended by Zoulou and it works fine with my old Unit, a PX5 2GB RAM with Android 6.0 (which I sadly connected to 36V and killed it :( ).

Does somebody had the same problem and found a solution to it?

Hello realzoulou!

Thank you first for your efforts. I have an Aycetry for the Honda Accord with Android 7.1.X. I also use a DAB + stick for Android with your DAB program 180401. However, it stutters pretty much. What can I do?

Best reguards

Thank you for this app, its the best DAB app imho. Although it does stutter quite badly on my Ezonetronics RM CT0008

i have installed and tested your last MR2 yesterday.

That so missing function with ducking works perfectly. Thanks!

You haven't commented my previous requests:

1. Is it possible to make it output audio on other audio stream, not STREAM_MUSIC? in many head units some audio streams are misused to get the possibility to equalize the volume for different sources (e.g. FM radio output level is always lower than level from music player). On my head unit there are streams called MUSIC, RADIO, TV, BLUETOOTH, AUX, NAVI. Surely these channels are just renamed STREAM_*, but for each of such stream i can set volume offset from main volume level (e.g. i set MUSIC to 0, RADIO to 7, NAVI to 10 etc.). That would be practical, as i feel that DAB+ output level is similar to FM radio level, i.e. lower that from music player. And it would be great to have possibility to select the stream where DAB+ will be streamed to.

2. I feel still little uncomfortable with channel name sort settings you have selected: "sunshine live" is the last station in the list, and comes after "WDR", "YOU FM" and "Teddy" just because first letter is small one. Would it be possible to use more or less natural sorting, with following rules: ..RrSsTtUuVvWv... so capital letter X, then small letter x, then capital letter following X, then small letter following X, etc. ?

And i tested again non-ascii symbols in station names on Intel device (I have Intel SoFIA 3G-R-based HU): now it is better than in Masterpiece version, where instead of german umlauts there were 2 unknown symbols, but not yet perfect: now "RadioRüsselsheim" was detected as "RadioRÜsselsheim" (see capital Ü instead of expected small ü). So if you or anyone else responsible for that part is interested, there is still small glitch in decoding.

Anyway, thanks for your work!
[Android Head-Units] IG_Vasilich:
I also haven't managed to get the logo for that station. Have put "RadioRÜsselsheim.png" and "RadioRsselsheim.png" to DAB\user folder without success
[Android Head-Units] masterhacka:
Suggestions

The modified app is really good :good: . But I have a few ideas to contribute. It would be cool, if thea pp could support the Multi-Windows feature. It would also be good to have a way to sort the favorite stations (that was already possible with the old DAB app on the old module) :) .

[Android Head-Units] pogit:
I have a ICE/HU/PA77FSFP-S (7.1 /HDMI) with a Cachor DAB USB stick which came with internal & external aerials.

This app is a big improvement on the default app.

The ability to add/download/customise station logos, adjust scrolling text size, choose/display favourites and it lets Waze and other apps talk over it.

The only -ve bits that don't work are the station broadcast slideshows(UK at least as mentioned in thread) and the app wont allow multi/split screen so i cannot do 50/50 with SatNav, so THANKS as its a big improvement on the original app.

Hi. I've just bought a new joying unit, octacore px5 2gb single din, and am using a Third party generic reviever.

The signal looks good but I am constantly getting sound cutting out (stuttering) even when not in background. I tried this app but am still getting the issue. Any suggestion for a solution?
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
I will consider all points for a next release...
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
Have you pressed the Sync button after renaming the file to RadioRsselsheim.png ?

If yes, can you send me a logcat, which contains when you press the Sync button ? You can send it to zoulourns (at) gmail.com
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
No, the only option to control the DAB audio is via the app.
[Android Head-Units] IG_Vasilich:
No, i just restarted the app.

Will try to sync it tomorrow, and then sent you logcat if it won't help.

---------- Post added at 23:05 ---------- Previous post was at 22:57 ----------

another thing that other users (mostly from UK) already mentioned here:

Slideshow from some stations do not get received. I have compared it with DAB+ receiver at home (SiliconFrontier-based), and have seen that the stations i have problems with in the car, do send slideshow pictures at home.

Not a show-breaker for me, and i am not sure Zoulou can do anything in this direction, because i assume this part is done in the closed-source lib....

The channels i have problems with are "you fm" and "hr3", from region Mainz-Wiesbaden in Germany. The signal strength is good, and other stations from that sender (Mainz-Kastel) have slideshows.
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
I presume that the stations, where the slideshow pictures are missing, encode the slideshow as categorized slideshow = catSLS.

This format is not supported by the libdab.so
[Android Head-Units] Betelgeusian:
The inherent problem is that there is a coding bug in lower layer code that we cannot readily access, and our workaround cannot always restore the original with 100% certainty, and we have to make some assumptions. If you have a log file, I can have a look.

Did you try DAB+ without having the FCC launcher in background?
[Android Head-Units] D3LTA:
May I ask you what rom you are running and what unit you have?

---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 PM ----------

With the Netherlands logo pack still some stations dont have logo's

Don't know if you already tried it or not but most channels send station logo in dab .. is it possible to use that logo automatically if no logo?
[Android Head-Units] Zeze21:
I have tried without the fcc launcher as well.

I have no custom Rom running - normally just the fcc launcher (not in the background but as Standard launcher) that's pretty much it.

[Android Head-Units] apollo1976:
Hi realzoulou !!!

I had the pleasure to discover your version of the app for the DAB and it is truly a masterpiece !!!

You've really done everything you could possibly want in the application: use the steering wheel controls, eliminate the problem of distorted audio in the backgroud, add icons to radio stations and much more.

Truly a beautiful job, really compliments

Perhaps the only thing missing to get to perfection is the ability to use the steering wheel controls when the application is in the background. When trying to change stations with the app in the background the steering wheel controls are not received.

In any case, I repeat that your app is a masterpiece !!
[Android Head-Units] IG_Vasilich:
that depends on how your headunit handles steering wheel controls.

In my case (Joying on SoFIA 3G-R, MCU 5.25) the MCU converts CH+/-keypresses on SWI to standard android media keys, so any app that is active as player ah the moment of pressing (app, having so called music focus), can receive it and react accordingly. So in my case this version correctly reacts on SWI keys and switches stations even if app in background (e.g. Launcher or navigation software in foreground).
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
What unit do you have ?
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
Long Press on the logo from DAB will store the current picture as station logo.
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
Thanks for the nice words [emoji6]

With the 180401 version I did my best so that steering wheel buttons also work when the app is not in foreground. Sad to read that there are still devices where it does not work. Atm I have no clue why.
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
Your video shows that you are using some original app, not my modded one. Have you ever tested mine?

Hi. tested in a w211 Mercedes. the speedometer says "AUDIO OFF" as usual. but the steering wheel still doesnt work.

[Android Head-Units] dennydenny:
Hi,

good news I could reproduce the "connecting-issue". It's just happening when the DAB+-App starts and immediately moved to background

(like at ignition on when e.g. TomTom starts too, even reverse camera seems to affect that).

If the DAB+-App is the only App that's starting and not moved to background at "connecting-state" everything is fine.

greetings, Denny
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
On my device Joying VL130N2 this scenario works fine. It never gets stuck in Connecting.

I suspect that this problem only appears on some devices.

[Android Head-Units] syk02jcb@hotmail.com:
Even not when reverse camera is enabled when "connecting".??

I have the xtrons octa as well, running malaysk v2, the problem with stuck on "connecting" only happens when the reverse is in before dab has connected. But I'm reversing out of my garage every day, so it's pretty often...
[Android Head-Units] kampfschachtel:
I can confirm that too, same behaviour.

New (replaced) Joying DE-JY-UMS02N2 straight out of the box, total clean, latest 25th may 6.01 release and no mods beside DAB+ app from you. Only your modded DAB+ App (and Spotify + Carly VAG from play store) installed and steering wheel button mapped in settings, other then that nothing else done or setting changed on the joying.

Still a perfect job, again thank you so much as this is the 2nd most used app on the joying so appreciate your work every day. All I wanted to change was changed and DAB+ is finally useable.
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:

'Backgrounded' DAB app closes

May I add my voice to chorus of thanks. to realzoulou and offer recognition for the obvious time effort realzoulou has invested so far.

Here are my experience notes, in the hope that they may prove useful:

My unit is Pumpkin CN10-01201B Android v6.0 with an external usb connected DAB+ module, model number: 13-Y0251-UK

Stock DAB apk, as for everyone here, is naff.

Annoying checkbox every start, full signal bars cause the display to shift and critically for me, with the App in the background (Waze in the foreground) the music stops after a few minutes and the app has been closed.

Found this thread and it looked like it might be better than what I have, so I removed the stock app, download this APK and via USB installed it on my head unit.

Install completes normally, app can be opened and channels scanned, but no sound. Try volume controls - nothing - fixed at zero. Other audio apps like radio and media player refuse to even start.

In the system settings, the audio level is at zero and cannot be changed. I have obviously lost a component in the audio drivers/sub-system, thinking it may have been part of the original DAB app, I uninstalled this one and searched for the original DAB .apk - found it installed it... still no audio control.

Restarted unit several times - nothing.

Then I performed a system reset using the tiny button 'hidden' in a small hole on the front panel, system starts up with all the installed apps and settings and also with audio and volume control - phew...

Now install this app again but this time there is no problem - app installs, audio control is still present, search stations... all there, and I am delighted to find that this app looks and feels MUCH better than the stock .apk

Now for the acid test. Start the DAB, select my favourite station and then launch Waze from the 'Nav' button which 'foregrounds' Waze and 'backgrounds' DAB.

DAB continues playing normally (I never did get the 'choppy' sound breaking up) for a few minutes and then suddenly silence - the icon in the message bar has gone and the app has closed.

I have picked over the 'apps' section of system settings, but I cannot find any setting for any of the installed apps that might suggest to the OS to allow (prioritise) 'this' app to run in the background without being a candidate for culling.

I have read that the cause of this may be Android 6 and its more aggressive inactive app memory 'harvesting' and reduced options to control that.

I also thought I read that this app is changed to run like a 'foreground service' and should therefore not be subject to this type of culling

Any words of wisdom are welcome.
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
I wished I would be able to explain why, but sorry I can't.

There are still a couple of users that see some strange behaviour in conjunction with my modded App and I cannot reproduce them at all on my Joying VL130N2, nor in the Android Emulator by Genymotion.

It seems that nearly every Android model behaves slightly different. This may be because all of them are full with vendor specific system apps, or maybe specific adaptions to the Linux kernel.

I will continue to read carefully any comments in this thread and try to find solutions for common problems if possible for me.

[MENTION=7838245]realzoulou[/MENTION]

As the original app is full of messy code, it would be a wonder if it would work without issues.

The app would not pass the Google shop criterias because the developers don´t even think about google design guidelines.

The credits belonging to you that the app is working quite stable right now.

If i may do a recommendation, buy a Calearo antenna.

They have a Dutch dealer.

I mounted a DAB+/FM/GPS shark antenna on my bmw E46 coupe and the Digital radio reception is great, i live some few km from the Dutch border (Putte-Kapellen) and can receive al the Dutch radio stations on my driveway, if the car don't move, i know that sounds stupid, bud the Dutch DAB+ broadcast signal is very weak, even 3 km in the Netherlands)

It ain't cheap but Calearo build quality antennas in Italy with 2 years warranty. I don't trust those Chinese electronics if you have to drill a hole in the roof.

For cars from the VW group they have FM/DAB+ amplifiers that you can switch with the original FM amplifier.

[Android Head-Units] OnkelDeffe:
I installed the latest version V170519 on my xtrons td101as with px5 board installed. It works fine but I can only switch between radio stations with steering wheel buttons when DAB+ app is in front. When starting MapFactor too or any other app and DAB+ is in background the steering wheel buttons doesn't work. Thats a bit annoying because during driving with navigation app in front it often can be that the selected radio station becomes weak and I want to change to next station in list. Maybe there's something special with my xtrons because it doesn't have any hardware keys - but in every other program I tested (music player, fm radio, dvd) in background the track up/down buttons are working.

The old (originally) DAB+ app on the px3 board (which I missed to save) did recognize the steering wheel buttons?! Any idea?

Thx

Installed my new Dasaita head unit in a Toyota 120 Prado today, The DAB was stuttering bad. I installed this app and all is wonderful. Thanks so much.
[Android Head-Units] IG_Vasilich:
ignore 1st item in this list, please.

I have written small app to check this, and no, these different channels NAVI, RADIO, MUSIC, AUX, BT, etc. are not mapped to android audio streams. The MCU comes here in game and intercept everything music related, and detects app type (or maybe these built-in apps tell to MCU somehow what channel to use....), so - it is completely messy and not an android-way-to-go, so - do not waste your time on this feature with different audio streams.

And thanks for looking onto other requests ;)

Hi

I have recently bought an a-sure unit running Android 6.1 and would really like to install this updated version of the DAB app as it look fantastic.

I have checked the A-Sure unit is not rooted. I have tried uninstalling by holding until it turns red and then moving it over to the X and it does not uninstall the DAB app. In the settings/app menu there is no option to uninstall just force stop and disable.

Is there another way other than rooting the unit?

The fact that you can only "disable" and "force stop" is a clear sign that the vendor has installed it as a system app. In order to be able to uninstall it you must root the device.
