Thank you [MENTION=7838245]realzoulou[/MENTION] for a fantastic app. I have an Xtrons Opel (Vauxhall) Head Unit and I deleted the 'stock' DAB app and used yours. Works brilliantly. The only issue I have and its not dedicated to your app, but if I open and listen to DAB, then use Navigation with the DAB in background, after about 5 minutes it automatically closes the DAB app. Is there a way to keep it running in the background without eventually closing itself?

Is it normal that latest app version doesn’t work on Android oreo? (Installation fail)
[Android Head-Units] Oberbergler:
On my HU it works with Android 8 but I had to check on installation from unknown sources (how in every newer Android version). In Android 8 you have to check on this for every installation source. There is no more general option. That means that you have to allow the installation for apkinstaller if you install it with it or for e.g. Es File Explorer if you install the apk with it.

Other installed Dab apps you have to uninstall.
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
Yes it was. The newer UI is nicer and more modern, so I was simply suggesting maybe you could use it, either using the newer app as a base if it is an improvement or simply using the UI from it if it is not. I m assuming youve seen the newer UI ?

Your unit is not an Xtrons - they are just a seller, your MCU will tell you what unit you have.

---------- Post added at 07:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------

Really ? What unit (MCU type) have you got ?
[Android Head-Units] maframan:
KLD PX5 with 8 core and 2 GB of RAM.

I’ve 2.78 as mcu version
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
Damn, thats not good, did it say why it wouldnt install, parse error or something ?
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
Sure. And I neither like the UI nor the app itself. So, I have no plan to use the H2.xx versions for anything.
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
Shame.

Have you tried the version with the different UI on Oreo [MENTION=315268]maframan[/MENTION] ?
[Android Head-Units] maframan:
No, my problem is that fails the installation.
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
Yes I understood. I was asking what error you got when it failed (parse error for instance) and I was suggesting that you try the one with the newer UI, it maybe that this version is for Ireo units.
[Android Head-Units] maframan:
Thanks for your answer. Tomorrow I try first to uninstall other DAB app and install it, second I try to install it with other UI

How about someone creates a database with all dab+ apks somewhere. Just nice and clean and for everyone to use (not to make money or anything just to have an overview of all the Versions (one could even make it so that people can add comments on which version runs perfectly on which system)...

I would gladly host this - but have little to no idea how to make such a database

This is the realzoulou thread.
[Android Head-Units] Terje_N:
Sory, I just reply to his question.

I have all of the realzoulou versions there also.
[Android Head-Units] Oberbergler:
I also would like to have the UI from the Witson app in combination with your great modifications. I've already tried to port the player.xml from Witson to your app but it crashed everytime. A clean Witson UI with your modifications would be great.
[Android Head-Units] Zeze21:
I didn't necessearily mean that it has to be in this thread - i just mean it would be helpful for all those of us who have not yet found a fully working apk

but Terje_N thank you so much I will have a look and try the ones I haven't already tried yet

deleting stations & adding station logos

I'm unable to delete unwanted stations by swiping right, does anyone have any suggestions.

Just a suggestion so wondered what other users thought, but what about we post Station Logo packages country by country. I've done the download via the app but it misses quite a lot of stations in the UK so I'm manually adding the missing ones. I'm guessing others are doing the same for whatever country they are in. So we would be doing the same task over & over when we could share. I dont know how we would upload them as I've never uploaded a file to a thread on a forum but I just thought I'd ask.
[Android Head-Units] maframan:
With the other DAB app removal, this app work fine.
[Android Head-Units] binar1:
I'd be interested in having the missing uk station logos. If you zip them up you can upload files to the forum, alternatively if you let me know where I can get them I'll have a go myself.
[Android Head-Units] ozzybon:
Missing logos

I basically just googled the missing ones then saved the images as a .png file
[Android Head-Units] Terje_N:
You can upload files to GoogleDrive or DropBox and chare from there.
[Android Head-Units] pwood999:
I had to do exactly this for quite a few UK Logos. Unfortunately some of them are a bit small. Also many of the images on google need modifying to work well in the DAB UI, but at least you can pick your favourite look for each one.

Hi

Can anyone advise please offer some advice on what is should do I have tried several apps and all stutter all the time, if they are in focus or not :( including 2018-02-10:ZOU-DAB+180210

I have a ezonetronics DAB usb and an ezonetronics android player

hoping someone can help

Stef
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
Which head unit exactly do you have? Maybe a link to it?

Is the CPU in it an Allwinner? These are known to stutter with any DAB app.
[Android Head-Units] sjpage10:
Hi

thanks for replying

its a ezonetronics ct0012

https://www.gearbest.com/car-dvd-player/pp_1084547.html

yes it says Allwinner T3L quad-core 1.2GHz CPU and Android 6.0 operation system

signal wise its on full signal, it’s as if there’s not the processing power as on just voice its not to bad but with music terrible

is there no fix then :(

do any of the older apps work with the allwinner, theres me thinking a ezonetronics usb dongle would work with my ezonetronics android player :rolleyes:

thanks

Thanks Terje_N that did the trick :)

now if I could only find a way to prevent the built in radio from being the default one, or find a way to prevent the last built in app be it the radio, music or dvd player from opening every time the device powers back on

as it is I have disabled the built in music player by changing the config files to poweramp then whenever I reset the device I must open the built in music player that then crashes to prevent the built in radio from opening up every time I turn the ignition on, as it then tries to default to the music player but does not manage to open it allowing poweramp to start

I’m guessing there must be an app running on the dam thing that remembers if the music,dvd or radio was open last before the ignition goes of that tries to activate them again when the ignition is turned back on, but I have looked at the programs that run on start-up and I can’t find it

manual logo update.

hi all

i have downloaded the logo pack for switzerland through the app and run a sync. some logos got associated with stations that way, but many aren't.

i then downloaded logos from the net and saved them in the user folder as .png and reran the sync ... no change ..

therefore i have a few questions:

- how to manually associate a .png (e.g. from the user folder) with a station? i tried swiping left on the spot where the logo should be, but it just alternates with the station info - no matter if i swipe left or right..

- is there a naming convention for the .png's for auto association in a sync run?

- any other necessary conventions for the logos for they work (e.g. size, file size, a.o.)?

thanks in advance guys for your hints!

martin
[Android Head-Units] jacko5:
I bought this item from Ebay.

Uses your car roof antenna as a dab antenna.

Works very well :D
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
There is no option in the app to manually associate a log file with a station. It's all based on filenames. See below.

Yes. Internally, the DAB+ app first "normalizes" the station name and also the filenames:

Only letters/digits in [A-Z, a-z, 0-9] are considered. No spaces, no punctuation, no special characters.

Then this normalized station name is used and all filenames are searched for an exact or substring match.

Examples:

A station name like "Smørrebrød_96.3" will be normalized to "smrrebrd963".

A filename like "Smørrebrød-96,3.png" will result in the same normalized filename "smrrebrd963" and therefore will result in an exact match.

A station name "ENERGY" would match for a file like "Radio Energy 93.3.jpg" because of the substring search match.

Only files with .png or .jpg extension are considered.

Hi i just got all the bits together and have the app loaded my usb connected but when i run a scan it finishes with "scan failed attempt an app full reset to recover"

I have tried to reset and reboot with no luck. Any thoughts what might be going wrong?

Could it just be the rubbish antenna that came with it or something more serious?

Thanks for any help!
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
[MENTION=225723]opentoideas[/MENTION] De-install the app, re-install it and try again. Hope that this was a "once" issue only.
[Android Head-Units] opentoideas:
I tried uninstall restart install and same....

I had one scan complete and find a small number of the BBC national stations though they would not play saying there was interferance so I guess there is little reception even bench testing guess a better antenna is a must.

Hopefully the problem is just bad reception where I am in the UK or a faulty antenna

---------- Post added at 07:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 PM ----------

Any opinions on ebay item 162912386605 ?

Looks like the same antenna as the superbat one recomended earlier in the thread.

I didnt really want to buy more bits without knowing all was good but the few stations gives me hope and I always suspected I would have to upgrade the antenna.
[Android Head-Units] opentoideas:
Hi realzoulou, are you able to confirm if the message I see is consistant with a lack of signal?

I have again been able to get about 20 stations found in the search but ony at the limit of the antenna lead and not reliably but I think this suggests a dodgy antenna. However I am sure if anyone knows what this error can relate to its likely to be you.

Thank you for your help

DAB Aerial

Have you thought about a magnetic mount aerial?

I have one of these and get great reception (North East, UK)

http://www.dabonwheels.co.uk/Kinetic_MagnetwiG__DMA-1004_DAB_car_aerial.html

or

http://www.dabonwheels.co.uk/Kinetic_MagnetwiG_DMA-1006_DAB_car_aerial.html

Just check the connector type on the end of the cable is correct (I needed an adapter which cost a couple of £)

MUCH faster to fit

[Android Head-Units] omniajet13:

[Android Head-Units] syk02jcb@hotmail.com:
Looks good! What have you done with the original aerial? Isn’t there a oem roof antenna in that place?
[Android Head-Units] omniajet13:
No the car had the antenna integrated into the back windscreen. So I disconnected it and connected the aerial to the wiring already there. Now I have dab+ and FM/AM working perfectly
[Android Head-Units] Zeze21:
I have tried pretty much every apk I could find either here or on the Internet via Google. And so far only 1-2 Versions work without stutter and only if it runs in full screen aka foreground.

As soon as I put the app in the background aka I start/switch to another app the stutter begins.

It can't be the reception as I have full reception indicated by the various apps (I use an antenna two way splitter as shown here https://adapter-universe.de/45/dab-...tennen-antennenverstaerker-und-frequenzweiche

With a smb sma Adapter)

I have a joying jy-um128p2 with a px5 rockchip 2gb Ram and 32 Rom - I thought this would be well enough for the dab+ dongle to run smoothly in the background.

Does anybody have an idea how to get this up and running? I would even be willing to spend quite a few bucks of someone would come up with a working and practical solution for this.

Any help is greatly appreciated

[MENTION=2803017]Zeze21[/MENTION] So far I thought only Allwinner T3 based devices would be affected. Quite a lot of users have PX5 units and are quite happy with the DAB+ app behavior there.

Maybe it helps to convert the DAB+ app to a system app. Android gives all requested CPU resources to a system app that it needs at any time, while "normal" user apps get restricted when running in background.

Procedure would be:

1) ROOT ist required!

2) Install the app "System application manager" from PlayStore. Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flaki.systemappmanager

3) Convert the DAB+ app to a system app (i.e. move it to /system/priv-app)

4) Reboot the device.

No guarantee that this helps, but I guess it's worth a try. If it doesn't help, you can easily convert the DAB+ app back to be a normal app again.
[Android Head-Units] Zeze21:
Thank you [MENTION=7838245]realzoulou[/MENTION]

I will try rooting the device (have no idea how as the last device I rooted was a Samsung S3 a few years back)

The really weird thing is

Your modded version runs with stuttering in fore and background BUT in both cases it stutters less than the app which stutters only in the background - to put it simpler the app with runs smooth in the foreground stutters a lot more in the background than your app in the background or foreground. I find that a bit weird.

Theres more than one type of RK3368/PX5 unit though, most are MTCD/E but [MENTION=2803017]Zeze21[/MENTION]'s is a JY RK3368/PX5 which uses a different platform than MTCD/E units, so I guess the stuttering is not just processor dependent but also platform dependent, unless its a JY MTCD unit that has had its SoM upgraded to an RK3368/PX5 SoM.

On my HU of Pumpking model CN10-03201B the latest version of the app ZOU-DAB + 180210 never starts up when the radio starts. After tapping the app, it normally starts up and also plays in back ground with no stuttering. The used DAB + receiver is the Y0251 from Pumpking. It makes no difference which version of Realzoulou is used.

Right, ok, you dont have an MTCD/E unit so it maybe as I said earlier, that the stuttering is not a processor specific thing, but a platform specific thing as MTCD/E RK3368/PX5 units dont have stuttering, yet your non MTCD/E RK3368/PX5 unit does.

The app works wonderful for me, but I have one annoying issue with it:

When the devices comes out of it's standby mode and the app wasn't the foreground application on shutdown, the USB connection fails. When I leave it as the foreground application it works on resuming. Is this a known issue?

It's kind of annoying. Otherwise it's perfect for me.

I'm running Android 4.4.2 on a Joying JY-UN138 (Witson A430) and the modded DAB+ app is running great.. no issues with stutter in forground or background.

Have a active roof mounted antenna.. and in my experience that's a must have if you want to enjoy dab+, most stutter and dropout are because of bad reception.

Great job on modifying/patching this app.

This app is a great improvement over the stock app that came with my unit. Great job and I am eternally grateful. I do have this same issue though. Original app started back up and went to station that was being listened to when system standby. This mod app says it cannot get usb permissions every time out of standby. I've tinkered with the settings but no joy. Head unit is xtrons Sofia chip 1gb ram. TL702P (I think). Again top app just this one little issue solved would make it near perfect.

Hi,

I'm going to buy a headunit with android, but I couldn't find one with build-in dab+. So I ordered a dab stick from aliexpress and test it out with this app on my smartphone. Everything seems to work great! Good job! But I don't understand, how recording works: I checked "Enable audio recording" in settings. Is it permanent on memory card or just a buffer in memory? I find no way to jump back directly in played audio (if I want to her a song again or got a phone call or just don't understand the news speaker, because my wife talked rubbish again)? I thought this timeshift-functions are the purpose of digital audio broadcasting?
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
This is not time shifting.

When Audio recording is enabled, a pale red round button appears next to the signal bars. When pressed, audio is recorded and stored in DAB/rec/ folder.

Your Music player on the device should offer you to play back this after you stopped recording and after you open the Music Player app.

Hi all, newbie here. Been reading this thread with interest over the last few days, following the installation of my Pumpkin head unit in the last week. Ironically I was in my car trying to download the app when real zoulou released the latest version (thanks For all the work by the way). However, after deleting the inbuilt DAB app and clicking the link to download, I wasn’t successful in getting anywhere. I can’t remember reading any instructions. Can anyone help or point me in the direction of a step by step for dipsticks like me? Many thanks, Jay

This sounds like you haven't unzipped the downloaded zip-file. Install by using the one of the apk-files inside the zip-file.
[Android Head-Units] hans.vinkers:
Mostly the download is a zip file, not just 1apk file so to start you need something to open a zip file (file explorer) then you need to unzip it. You could also do that on a computer and put the data on a usb stick
[Android Head-Units] dom001:
Thank you for the explanation! Do you see any chance for an in-app usable implementation of a (permanent) timeshift buffer in future?
[Android Head-Units] realzoulou:
Actually an interesting idea! My very first DAB receiver in the car had such a feature. It was a Alpine EZi DAB like in this https://www.ebay.de/i/122982269624

With a key press it went back 15sec in the temporarily buffered audio. I was using this feature quite often the other days, but was barely missing it nowadays.

Let me think about it...

I tried the latest version, but there is still a problem with "b) another player (e.g. Spotify) comes into foreground (on some devices)".

If i start my car for the first time and spotify is not active everything work s, i can use the steeringwheel controls to go back and forward. But if i start spotify and go back to the radio the problem occurs. When i go back or forward the app closest and spotify starts to sing. If i completely close spotify and start the radio app again, and i start to use my steeringwheel controls the same issue apears.
