The cassette theme I love, I get nostalgia and good memories ...

This is the best launcher for my Joying. But I would like to know if there is any way to choose PowerAmp as my default music player and if it can be started in the boot from the launcher to avoid having to install third-party applications.

And, to ask (not to demand, that would never do), I would like to know if it is possible to add a window with Sygic (or the gps navigator) in the launcher itself. I have not seen anyone who has it that way, it's still complicated, it's just a question or suggestion ...
[Android Head-Units] carwebguru:
1) Try to long click on a PLAY button and select POWERAMP player. It can be used after restart\reboot. But some headunits may destroy poweramp service (after sleep or reboot) and it can not be started automatically.

2) Navigation - in the future :)

Hi. With the last Christmas Version I've problems when boot the phone. Screen remains in black and your app crash in seconds

It's seems that this issue is related with a new screen I was created last day... With the old screen there are no problems

I just created another new one and I haven't the same error when reboot the phone. The screen I have problems is a grid theme number 6. The big square is for clock analog. I don't know if this helps you where the problem is...

There might be a "premium" version.

How to get these?

EDIT: seen in play store: cassette theme costs 1,99 Euro.

So, app isn´t free anymore. Please correct the description ;)
[Android Head-Units] carwebguru:
I do not full understand your problem. Why you set auto-boot CWG on phone? When you see black screen? Android version?
[Android Head-Units] pepetops:
Well, I try to explain better. The phone I use with your app is only for a car or motorcycle. I use your app as home menu and this is the reason that when I open the phone or reboot it the first app is yours and when I use the screen I said before the app crashed and only see black screen.

And yes, is android version

What API did you use for Street Name? I would like to add it to my head unit? Or How did you do it?

[Android Head-Units] carwebguru:
I use Google Maps API. You need to place address CWG widget in wide place in the theme.

I can not reproduce such problem. Try to test on system widget - android digital clock...
[Android Head-Units] pepetops:
I checked with digital clock widget and it's works... The app for time and weather I have doesn't do it... [emoji25]

Someone who use weather widget that works could help me?

Another screen with grid number 4 has the same effect... Black screen when start or reboot the phone...

It seems that make screens with grids have problems

I changed the smartphone and installed your app and the same problems with grids screen appear again

Do I need to use the Google API to get this to work on my head unit or the only thing that I need to do is to add the widget to one of the screen? I get the message that I have reached the maximum of something I forgot the exact words.

Thanks, i try it now!

All ok in android 4 and 6. Progress bar shows correct track time but interaction doesn't work. Shuffle button has no effect.

Some ideas:

1) Custom screensaver. It's also important to have current speed .

2) Custom widget space.

Thanks for your outstanding work.
[Android Head-Units] cehes:
Hi carwebguru.

First of all, really thanks for your great job. I use your app on my joying head unit everyday and this is a real pleasure !

Some thoughts :

- when you display app list (either to add it to widget, either via your app list) you only display apps that are in remove/add list in android configuration not the list that android displays when tapping the "3x3 points icon" that show you all the android app. I hope i'm clear. As a consequence, for me i can not add two things that are invisible using your app : "voice search" from Google and "Bluetooth sound" from joying that is not shown as well. (i do not know why this app is not in android add/remove list)

- i'm using the skin with central circle and 2x3 lines on each sides, great. To make looking better i changed original apps icons, using yours (the black and white, really good). But they are to near from the central circle. They should be a little bit shifted away. Here also i hope i'm clear :)

And also i agree with previous post : speed on screen saver would be a great plus

By the way this apps is wonderful and i'll do a donation, and everyone using it often should do the same !
[Android Head-Units] mrkambo:
I've just tried this and it works a treat with Spotify, didn't notice any immediate problems, other than when the headunit starts up first time, im presented with a black screen, but pressing the 'Home' button brings the launcher back up, i couldnt figure out why it was doing this

But ill try it thoroughly over this weekend and see how it works
[Android Head-Units] fadytabar:
I've been using your launcher for couple of months now and it is definitely the best car head unit launcher by far.

I have an important request please.

It would be highly appreciated if you can please add a lock screen on startup to prevent service people or Vallet Parking guys from messing up with the unit...

I've tried so many AppLock apps but couldn't reach the result i want.

It would be nice to have the option to unlock the screen automatically whenever a specific Bluetooth device is connected and lock it back as soon as that device is disconnected.

Also, and because the head unit Bluetooth is not that reliable (some applications cannot access the Bluetooth module and always sees it as "Bluetooth is turned off"), can it be done with a wifi connection?

For example: When the device is connected to a specific SSID wifi it will unlock automatically, because I have my phone Hotspot ON and always giving wifi connection to the head unit.

many thanks

FT
[Android Head-Units] pepetops:
It's a shame, but between the problem of not being able to put screen with the grids and the weather widget that I use, does not work, I have to stop using your application. Thank you very much for the experience I have had using it.

Is it possible to add for location tab the altitude to be shown on main screen please. It's useful when you go in the mountain.

Many thanks

Spotify

I am testing it in Sider Theme and there are a couple of minor bugs which I will write up for you shortly. No progress bar for example (but no big deal!). Spotify keeps playing if you switch over to TuneIN radio for example. If you switch over to TuneIn Radio the album art stays from Spotify (it doesnt change to TuneIn's Station Art or the TuneIn logo) but the correct TuneIn station and program name appears. If you can correct those it would be awesome.

Anyway I promised to donate if you got Spotify working so I intend to keep my promise and do that!

Can you provide a link or a paypal?

Thanks for this mate. God job so far. :)
[Android Head-Units] software_samurai:
I've just purchased a new ATOTO A6 Android car stereo unit, and I really like CarWebGuru. However, I've run into a few problem.

FYI: I'm using the latested PowerAmp (2.0.10-build-588-play) as the music player. The ATOTO A6 comes with Android 6 (a stripped down version it seems). And I'm using the latest CWG 2.62-A2.

1) The Album Art widget (or area, as in the Sider theme) is hit or miss. By that I mean it sometimes displays correctly. sometimes displays the wrong art, and sometimes goes completely blank.

Q) How does CWG decide what Album Art to display?

2) The widgets for Artist and Title appear to be swapped.

3) The widgets for Artist, Title, and Track Info start to "lag" as I use the Next button to go to the next track. It would either not update, or show "untitled", or show the previous track's info.

4) After setting up a few different windows (checking out the themes), I discovered the background on some of them suddenly went completely black, and I can't set it anymore. (Choosing a new background image didn't change the background.)

Past that, I'm very impressed with CWG so far. Keep up the good work!
[Android Head-Units] ShelbyRacer78:
I absolutely love the launcher. But for some reason, Poweramp keeps stopping after a few seconds after going back to the launcher home screen. It won't keep poweramp running in the background. Has anyone found a solution to this yet or not?
[Android Head-Units] software_samurai:
PowerAmp seems to play just fine after starting it and going back to the home screen for me. My unit has OS version "ATOTO AICE OS 9.1 2017-11-02 23:01:29". (As seen from Settings->About->System Update)

Do you have any other audio-generating app that's running? Since only 1 audio stream is supported, it will automatically stop the previous app when a new one starts. (e.g. Start PowerAmp, then go back and start the FM app. PowerAmp stops.)
[Android Head-Units] Shnalla:
Hi,

I'm using CWG launcher since September and I absolutely love it.

The only thing I would like to tweak is icons. Is it possible to load my own icon set? Thank you.
[Android Head-Units] carwebguru:
You can use you icons. Just place PNG files in folder: /CarWebGuru/icons/your-folder/your-png-icons.png

Then use function: Edit widgets
[Android Head-Units] Shnalla:
Thanks you :cool:
[Android Head-Units] cehes:
Hi Carwebguru,

just wanted to know if you had time to review what i said some pages ago. First point seems the most important as some apps are missing into the CWG app list.

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] ptolomeo:
Hello, I bought the paid version but with the latest update I seem to not be able to change the MUSIC app (from the system default to Poweramp)

If I keep pressing the MUSIC widget... nothing happens. The rest of the widgets I can change them for whatever app I want, but the music one, I can't.

Cheers!
[Android Head-Units] Croak:
To change the music player, don't hold the widget, hold the PLAY/PAUSE button.
[Android Head-Units] smithkt:
I just received my first head unit and am not a fan of the default launcher, so I have been checking out the alternatives. I am very impressed with this one. The amount of customization is amazing. I have a few questions though.

1) While checking out the various themes I see that there are four premium themes. Two of these have "lite" versions. What are the differences between the lite and premium versions. From the screen shots, they appear identical.

2) In several of the themes there is a full width visualization. For example the Spyder theme. I really like this theme, but would like to turn of the full width visualization. It obscures the controls and is a little too distracting. Is there an option to remove this I am not seeing? Or perhaps a version of the theme could be provided without this?

Otherwise, I have found it to be excellent.
[Android Head-Units] Spaceone:
Please restore current speed in screen saver. Thanks.

[Android Head-Units] tony0903:
any update regarding creating shortcuts to activitys? i use your launcher on my joying head unit, and i think its an amazing launcher. the only issue i have is that i cannot open the BLUETOOTH MUSIC app that originally came with the head unit. when i looked into it, i found that is because its not an actual app, just an activity within the standard Bluetooth app. any other options you can suggest while we wait would be greatly appreciated
[Android Head-Units] Jaihoidundso:
The bluetooth Music App doesn't exist on the original launcher, too! It's only a integrated app from the normal Bluetooth app (where you can pair phones, call someone, ...). You can only make a new screen maybe and insert the widget withe the option "system widget" and there is the bluetooth player. if <ou click on the cover you get into this app.
[Android Head-Units] tony0903:
thanks, i will give that a try for now. would be really nice to be able to create shortcuts like available on other launchers though!
[Android Head-Units] tony0903:
unfortunately, this option doesnt work. bluetooth or bluetooth music is not available in the System Widget section...
[Android Head-Units] Jaihoidundso:
Sure. I added the system widget, too. I have a Sofia Joying Device. Maybe it's different from other systems like MTCB, MTCD, ...
[Android Head-Units] rasnicop:

Animation not working whit spotify

Hello Friend! I purchased "range theme skin", the dynamic animation does not work with Spotify, can I solve it? Thank you
[Android Head-Units] Croak:
FYI, Spotify album art works every now and then after a restart of the launcher, but for the most part, it's just text. I know the author can't get Spotify in his country, so it's probably going to be a ***** to debug.
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
I'm now using your launcher for a couple of days and I have the exact same issue. I want to add apps to widgets, but tapping the 3x3 apps selector only shows a subset of the apps. The 2 apps I want to add are not in this list, and these 2 I definitely want on my home screen.

I also tried your app a couple of months ago and then I expected this to be a bug, but it has not changed.

Is there a work-around to this? Or Better: Is this "all apps", instead of "some apps", going to be implemented?

Thanks.
[Android Head-Units] cbx572:
Spotify

But dynamic animation, does it work?
[Android Head-Units] smithkt:
When I was testing out this launcher, I was using the dynamic visualizer with Spotify and it worked. In the Options for carwebguru, select Program from the left menu. Scroll down near the end under Multimedia. Make sure you have the Enable Music Visualizer and Visualizer Global mode both turned on.
[Android Head-Units] cbx572:
Spotify

All already activated, dynamic animation works only with bluethooth audio connection .... Discovered today

Anyone knows which music player works fine?

PowerAMP works but the music auto resume while put gear to R.

Currently I use VLC but the music always start from same song while starting the machine.
[Android Head-Units] Spaceone:
Use Jet Audio
[Android Head-Units] rasnicop:
Anyone knows how can I put the Google maps widget?
[Android Head-Units] tingyutony:
Thanks. I have tested it before, and test it today again.

JetAudio cannot start by CWG automatically during booting and CWG cannot get music info to display.

Any other suggestion?
[Android Head-Units] VMPhil:
If you have selected that theme and there is something else there (Like a clock)

just touch whatever is in that spot at the moment on the screen and it will change to the next option. I believe it will cycle through Speedometer, Album cover art, the carwebguru logo or a clock.
[Android Head-Units] agamemnonn:
Thanks for great launcher. I exactly have same problem. I can't see "google voice" on app list in launcher. It can be seen on stock launcher. Is it possible to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Issue with the CarWebGuru widgets

Hi,

I´ve got the problem that some of my widgets / apps (e.g. Sygic Car Nav, iGO, Clever Tanken) don´t appear, when I start my car.

Instead of these missing widgets I can see only the text "Unknown". But if I click on these "unseen" widgets, the original apps will start anyway.

Switching my car off and starting it again after a short time will show all my widgets at once.

How can I solve this problem? :confused:

Hi,

I have a problem with this launcher. Its the only one that does not go to standby. When CWG is the default launcher the unit always power off and restart with ignition. This is not happening with launcher AG,.... Does any one have a solution to this problem?
[Android Head-Units] Villimies:
Nobody else seems to have this problem, than me.

But meanwhile I noticed, that if you move apps to the SD-card, these ones will not be visible as a widget after the first start of CWG.

I moved them back to the radio and - voilà! - they are visible right from the beginning.

Nevertheless I´d be interested in a workaround, that I could move these apps to the SD-card to save the valuable memory space of my radio, but without getting the same problem as mentined before.

Has anybody got an idea?

Great launcher! Best I have tried!! I am registered as a 'Tester' ...

Thank you [MENTION=8396872]carwebguru[/MENTION] for this launcher, its transformed my head unit into a thing of beauty. Ive got a lot of design ideas. Is there a way to add custom grid layouts so I can create my own designs?
[Android Head-Units] agamemnonn:
I have same problem. It has started after installing default TPMS sensor apk. other launchers dont do this. I am also very curious about solution of this, this is the only thing which make me away from this great launcher. Thanks in advance.
[Android Head-Units] TeamADW:
I just tried this out on an Atoto A6 unit. It worked at first, until re-boot. Then I got no sound at all, nor backup camera or hard buttons. remote also stopped working. If I keep the factory launcher as default, it works, but then its a game of opening CWG each time.

I really like CWG, and wouldnt mind designing my own skins for it (I do custom dash accents and gauges for a living)
[Android Head-Units] chucktaylur:
I gave up. Its a great up minus that one hiccup. Its just annoying have it crash every time you start up. My guess is that its clashing with the stock launcher which I dont want to uninstall. I switched to car launcher ag paid edition. Less customization but at least there arent any bugs Ive found yet.
[Android Head-Units] VMPhil:
I paid for Pro on that too. the new update looks promising. Also check out FCC Launcher. The devs are super responsive.
[Android Head-Units] agamemnonn:
Same here, i continue with carlauncher ag paid here because of this hiccup. But, i miss carwebguru's widgets.
[Android Head-Units] smithkt:
Yep, I saw the same thing. The radio or aux app have to be started or it doesn't initialize the MCU.
[Android Head-Units] TeamADW:
Is there a way (I didnt see one) to have CWG run needed programs in the background on startup, or every time it comes out of suspension? The A6 uses the accessory wire to suspend to RAM (at least I think that is how it works) and even if it hasnt re-started, it can screw with the sound. I also noticed it messed with the clock, which causes Amazon to complain about security keys.
