Yes it's always been activated.

So I've tried 4 different themes and all have the same issue.

-the radio closes when reverting to the home screen, even if I use the home button.

-the music player does not remember where the song left of. The one theme has the progress bar so I can use that to skip through the song luckily.

I would like to get the radio working when I go back to the home screen though if at all possible. Does anyone have a radio app which has RDS?
[Android Head-Units] Wandsbek:
Moin,

Same question - same problem.

I do not find the setting for the autostart in menu option "Option". :rolleyes:

Where exactly do I find the setting for "autostart"?

I use the version 2.7.2

I have some issues.

My radio is a px5 mtcd type under android 9

[Android Head-Units] edit4ever:
I have the same issue with any music from a non-carwebguru app (bluetooth stream, radio, etc) stopping when returning to the home screen. This is on a HW8227L type head unit.

-- as an FYI, I'm using the Range (lite) theme- same issue on other themes as well....but I notice that the background audio continues initially when entering the home screen but stops about the time the "ring" graphics are loading in the Range theme. It's as though carwebguru asks for the audio focus at the end of loading the home screen which is killing any other audio process that is running.

I've tried all the program settings, but nothing seems to make a difference.

----

one more update - I tested another launcher and did not have this issue, so it is definitely a bug in returning to the home screen with carwebguru. Hopefully it can be fixed!
[Android Head-Units] douw:
Has anyone found any sort of resolution to this issue. I have the same sort of head unit, and the same symptoms, ie. Radio stops when hitting home; either hard key on the side of the unit or any soft key on screen. Changing directly into another app via recently used apps keeps radio playing, except when changing back to CarWebGuru.

Best, Douw.
[Android Head-Units] Guillermo h:
My Dasaita PX5 MTCE unit, to say that I am very happy with CarWebGuru, if I have the radio application running and I turn off the car and time later I turn it on again, it launches Auto Play because I have it configured but the radio works from the beginning, the app that has running are not interrupted if I return to the home screen are still running. I definitely love CarWebGuru, thanks to [MENTION=744370]ikerg[/MENTION] for having recommended it to me, to clarify that I bought Theme-Curve that makes this Premium application. I recommend using the dongle to have android car and car play, they will have at your disposal navigation, phone, music and many other applications without any conflict.

regards
[Android Head-Units] douw:
[MENTION=9514050]Guillermo h[/MENTION], are you replying to the previous two posts. If so please elaborate; are you saying that the Curve theme fixes our problems? It is also unclear what you mean with Auto Play and the configurations thereof.
[Android Head-Units] voffer:
Hi guys this must be a problem with our HW I also have this headunit and am getting the same problem with the main screen when I press home button the music stops playing.
[Android Head-Units] Guillermo h:
What I'm saying is that with Theme-Curve I have CarWebGuru Premium, but I do not know if it solves their problems; I use AutoPlay (CarPlay because I am IOS) that allows me to have Spotify, call, Car Sigyc, without experiencing problems or worrying about bluetooth.

regards
[Android Head-Units] douw:
Thanks for clarifying [MENTION=9514050]Guillermo h[/MENTION], but driving around the backwoods of Southern Africa, I really need offline radio, or bluetooth, to work.

Current workaround:

Start your map app.

Press home button.

Start Radio, and tune station.

Use Android 'recent tasks' to switch back to nav app.

Leave alone.

This also works with BT music.

BTW, here is the head unit specs for reference:

MCU: HW8227L-3.3-SW0-2.3

CPU: A7 1.3GHz x 4

Adroid: YT9217B_00002_V003_20181219

It seems to be an issue with some specific mcu based headunit.

For the case of mtcd/mtce units there is no problem on going home keeping the media working (radio or other media)

[Android Head-Units] coffer:
update I've bought and installed the curve theme, doesn't make any difference in music app when you press home the sounds cuts off after a few nano secs. I've uninstalled and am using another launcher now, bit of a waste of money.
[Android Head-Units] Guillermo h:
We talked about CarWebGuru as an excellent launcher, but not as a solution to the problem it has; check the comment of [MENTION=744370]ikerg[/MENTION] where he mentions that this problem is experienced in certain units, but in my case with MTCE everything works as expected. If I expected from the CarWebGuru app a solution to their problems I agree that this money was lost.

I've installed CWG today and I absolutely love the ability to change widgets and the possibilities that come with it.

Unfortunately, it won't save the changes I made to themes, especially after I deleted widget. As soon as I restart or wake up from sleep, the theme is the same as before. Anyone else with this problem?

Thank you for the work!

Problem with FM radio widget

Please tell me how to put a shortcut of FM radio applications on the widget?
[Android Head-Units] fani:
Thanks for the awesome launcher. I am currently using it, (customised to my taste) and loving it.

Only issue I'm facing right now is that I can't use external music players, like poweramp, jetaudio etc. they all stop playing once I hit home button. ie. background music playback only works with the native carwebguru music player.
[Android Head-Units] carwebguru:

Wow, looking great man! Can't wait to get my sdcard plugged into my joying unit! Keep up the great great work!

Cheers man!!

[Android Head-Units] carwebguru:
Hi! You need any installed gallery application for backgroung functions.

[Android Head-Units] makes2068@gmail.com:
Updated to 2.54 without problems, but...

Had to start Radio app 3 times. The first 2 times, radio closes.

Stock media player closes, not possible to use. Use poweramp so it´s not a huge issue to me.

Media-browser did not show the sd card or usb port.

Empty layout without car logo would be great so its really empty ;)

Still not possible to backup the settings

Still not possible to rearange screens
[Android Head-Units] Shnalla:
Installed just an hour ago.

It's working great. I just needed a little time to be familiar with the app.

Currently, available colors are a bit too bright for my car (BMW e38).

[Android Head-Units] Shnalla:
In my case, radio app start from the first time.

I use Spotify to listen to my music, and I don't know if the problem is related to CWG, but the app dies after 2 or 3 tracks...

Also I did not manage to display the album cover on the launcher.

Great App.

I have one request if possible.

A widget for ethernet connectivity, same way as Wifi connectivity widget.

I use a USB Huawei E303 3G Hi-Link HDSPA Modem connected to my head unit.

Android detects an ethernet connection when i plug the modem but sometimes usb fails and a i need to unplug and plug the modem.

A widget that detects an ethernet connection will be very useful.

Thank you.

Hi there,

Since the volume up/ down buttons not work can you add an option to replace them with brightness up/ down?
[Android Head-Units] nobelnabil:
great app. the only thing I am missing is the ability to add shortcuts to a widget. in particular, i am using google maps and if i go to navigation options, I can create what is called 'driving shortcut' which is meant to be placed in the home screen and when clicking it, google maps launches in driving mode which is faster and neater for driving. I am not able to see that shortcut or assign it

When ignition is off, pull the key device power off better goes to sleep.

Everytime it re starts I got a message like Launcher has Stopped restart application or stay till reboot.

If I was at the time when I power off in an application like musikplayer, by wake up came back to the musicplayer. Now pressing Home button the screen for the Launcher choose appear. There I can choose CarWebGuru or standard Launcher. I take the CARWebGuru with the tack on always.

But every restart the Same procedure...

I tried so far:

wipe app data and cache,

delete app reinstall app,

wipe cache dalvik of the ROM

But no luck

So before I reinstall the complete ROM has anyone an idea how to fix?
[Android Head-Units] Minoba82:
I searched this thread and didnt find an answer. I use poweramp. Album art shows up within the poweramp app.

However on my main screen, album art doesn't show up. I use the default theme. When I click on the circle in the middle to cycle through the options (mph, logo, compass, etc.), they all work except album art. It shows the title and artist, but no image. Sometimes it shows a generic image.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

[Android Head-Units] Minoba82:
Thanks for your reply and suggestion. I did that and my album art still doesn't show up.

Just as a test, I tried another launcher. The album art worked perfectly fine with the other launcher. However, I like this launcher much better, but can't seem to get album art to show up on the main screen.

I've attached a pic to show you what I see on the main screen.
[Android Head-Units] Klatus:
Also You have to activate " enable músic visualizer" and "visualizer global Mode" and sometimes " emulation of the visualizer"

Try this
[Android Head-Units] rcenik:
This launcher looks good, sorry I did not read through the whole thread, but does anyone know if the album art works over blue tooth?
[Android Head-Units] Minoba82:
Thanks for the tip. I tried it and unfortunately, it still doesn't show my album art. I tried force stopping cwg after I activated those settings and it still doesn't work. Oh, well.

Also, does anyone know how to get Google maps to show directions on the main screen, within that same clickable widget?

Hello

I'm testing the app and I'm having a problem.

I want to use POI Warner and TomTom Blitzer.

Speed limit and radar should be displayed.

No matter which app I use, they only work for 5 - 10 seconds, then the display freezes.

When I go into the app, the data is loaded immediately and everything works.

I am on CarWebGureus, the information is displayed, but the display only works 5 - 10 seconds.

Could it be that CarWebGurus pauses or stops the apps in the background after a few seconds ?

Does anyone know the problem and can help ?

I use Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 with Andriod 9

Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator
[Android Head-Units] Marc NL:
I also use TomTom for speed information and speed radars. To get the overlay working i had to put TomTom application into the whitelist in the settings of the head unit. I also have put CarWebGuru in this list.

I have no idea what this whitelist is actually for but it works.

[Android Head-Units] ProjektC:
I found the mistake.

The Xiamio OS has a feature that closes apps in the background.

I've now fixed that for the app and now everything works.

I have three questions.

1: Could also the Audio Player : Rocket Player supported when changing app ?

Currently only Poweramp, Amazon Music and JetAudio.

With this app I can make a change but the Rocket Player is unfortunately not shown.

2: Could Lancia also insert a logo, I drive a Lancia Musa.

3: Does CarWebGuru also close the app in the background, like Amazon Music or Poweramp or only when my Xiamio does that after the energy optimization ?

Firstly I would like to say - I have tried most of the launchers for my Android headunit of my car. But this launcher hits hard on them. What a fantastic product. Thank you so much Sir for creating it and wish you luck for future. I have a couple of questions :

1. Can you please tell me, How to make poweramp with the music functions as well as default music app? As when I used a widget to poweramp, it just closed in background.

2. How to make volume up and down button work.
[Android Head-Units] BluntP6:
Hey,

Thanks for the great app,but are there any updates coming? almost 6 months since last update. I have some problem;

- App drawer is rather ugly, please update looks if possible :)

- Completely custom #hex theme color, should be easy to implement

Yeah, I've enabled visualization in the settings. I've tried force closing and restarting the app. Album art just doesn't seem to work in this launcher. It works perfectly fine with CarLauncher. So, not sure why there is an issue with this launcher. I've tried other music apps as well (album art doesn't show up for those either). I prefer Poweramp anyway.

Also, I can't get Google Maps directions to show up in that multi-widget either.

How do I fix it?

Also, is there an option for this launcher to auto-open an app?

Too bad :(

I was all excited when I found this launcher. It seemed very promising. I have run into quite a few bugs, and some things that just do not work right.

I was in the hopes that carwebguru was actively working on this, but it turns out he abandoned it a year and a half ago :( It is a shame, as with just a little polishing and a few fixes this would be the best and most customizable launcher out there.

You could be right, but that XDA time stamp doesn't mean anything. We have multiple developers on this forum that announce their program, push it a little further and then leave the topic as such for the end users to help each other. The last Play Store release was on 19 March 2019.

There are quite some "big" programs actively maintained that have older release dates.

So again: you could be right, but the XDA activity date doesn't say anything about a program maintained via the Play store.
