I've got a problem with running spotify on my android head unit. When i set it as music source and press play, it will hide the app, take me back to home screen and music starts playing. If i set cwg as default launcher it will take me to the list of currently running apps. When i go back to cgw, music stops. I've installed it on my phone and everything works fine, spotify is playing music as intented. I tried playing music from usb source and there are no problems. What might be causing this issue?

Is this still the best car launcher since the developer stoped supporting? Seems it. If anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know!
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
Ask him directly.

What is this nowadays with everyone expecting updates every few weeks/months? There are thousands of apps not updated in 1-2 years (one of my own also), but that doesn't mean development or support has stopped. It means that for the time being no new features are added (or necessary), no bugs need to be fixed (and that is not true currently for CWG), no adaptations are necessary for newer Android versions, and/or many other reasons.

The developer was never very active here, as many others. Some developers, after having published their app to draw attention, even mention "I don't participate in the forum and will not reply on PMs", or likewise statements. So ask him via his facebook page or his website or so (I don't have or want facebook), and maybe you are right: he is not supporting his app anymore.

for me the launcher sucks. Cant click some spots or adjust the buttons (eonon Android 9).
[Android Head-Units] threadwear:
for me, this is close to perfect launcher, after a bit tweaking very oem looking and to my taste, best lookin launcher.

just few things with the range theme:

1. can the bar that raises when gps speed goes up, next to digital speedo, can this be swithed off, so only the digital gps speed remains?

https://i.postimg.cc/x817tZq7/Screenshot-20190427-075816-You-Tube.jpg

this huge orange bar in the middle (not my pic)

2. the auto close of the apps is not working as it should, the one that can be set 20sec minimum.

would be great if it closes to background absolutely every app, music, radio, but not navigation, a whitelist would be great, can this be done? id like the music apps to go background automatically and the launcher goes back to home page.

thanks

Hi,

Is it possible to add a recent app widget on this launcher (running application) ? I cat find the way...

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] mastrv:
RomainD2,

If you can't access the recent app list from the status bar at the top of the screen or don't want to use that you use the following...

Here's a link to an old application that brings up the recent apps list. I'm using an older version of Android, version 5.0, but I'm not sure it will work for later versions. Try it and let us know. It's less than 15kb in size. It's package name is factory.widgets.recent.apps and is no longer available / found in the Google play market. Development for it likely stopped and it stopped being displayed in the market by Google due to lack of updates or something similar.

https://aapks.com/apk/recent-apps-quick-button/version/3074195/

There may be other similar apps. I started using this on my Note 3 many years ago to reduce wear and tear on my physical home button.

Couldn't add widget error message (Android 9)

Hi all,

I used for almost three years this great app with an Android 4.4.2 Car Unit with no issues.

I've installed on an Android 9 (Daisaita MX6 PX6 with Ha92k mod) and I'm unable to add the most of system widget to home screens, on all templates. Instead of widget it is displayed "Couldn't add widget."

Just as example it happend with Beautiful Widget Weather 1x1 on Empty theme.

Anyone with the same problem here?

Thanks.
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
Did you allow CarWebGuru to add widgets to the home screen? As of Android 7 you need to do that. Otherwise you can indeed not put widgets on the home screens.
[Android Head-Units] Cavalier Condorelli:
Hi, what do you mean with allow permission to add widgets to the home screen? Where can I find this option?

I have granted all asked permissions after installation that are Storage access, geolocation, microphone.

Thanks.
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
Normally when trying to add a widget to the home screen, Android should ask at that moment whether you want the application to be able to add widgets to the home screen.

This is an "on the fly" permission and cannot be set from the Settings->App->permissions screen.

So in other words, I don't know.

I can only advise to reboot and try again and to not tap/click too fast.
[Android Head-Units] Cavalier Condorelli:
Thanks, but this is not the case, I've never been asked for such permission and the widget is added but instead of visualizing it there is a box message "Couldn't add widget". This happened only with system widget, many but not all, usually players widget like Poweramp, Spotify, Musixmatch, NavRadio+ can be added with no issues.

[Android Head-Units] UnsettledSoul:
May I shoot with waterjets instead? :D

No seriously, I just found out about CWG yesterday myself and as gorgeous as the CWG interface can look as weird and unintuitive is its configuration. I spent around 3 hours already trying to understand the concept, configuration and integration with other parts of the android system. I am getting there, albeit very slowly as it seems. :o

But if all else fails, add another screen, put a default layout there with the same look as the one you had before and reconfigure from there. When done, delete the old screen. I stumbled over the exact same problem and that's the way I "fixed" it.

Regards

I'm using CarWebGuru with the MediaBox Theme (love it) and have been able to get my speed to display in MPH in the center circle. However, the overall trip data at the bottom of that circle is still displaying in Kilometers. I can't seem to find where to change that setting.

Any help appreciated.
[Android Head-Units] hjdevries:
Hi all, I also bought this APP and purchased some themes. It's definitely the best APP out there, it has amazing looks.

However when I install it at first the integration widget with Google Maps work, but after that

it stops and never works again. I tried all the settings but nothing works. I am using Android 9 on a tablet.

IS it better to downgrade?

Second thing, the Media information doesn't seem to work with radio streaming APPS, I tried a bunch. Those APPS do send notifications in the android top of the screen but doesn't get captured by CWG.

Any ideas?

Hi Marcus, there are some issues with it, hopefully it will be fixed soon.

It's an amazing application and if you get the hang of it it's really flexible, awesome

Can we play Radio in the background? I'm unable to do so. Car android is panel 8227L on android 8.1 Go.
[Android Head-Units] Keshin88:
Have the same issue on Android 10.1 headunit

What I have found is you can open them radio app then switch to another app (not home screen) and it will continue to play.

If you remove the permission for the app to use microphone it will allow you to listen to music in the background and be able to use the home screen

However.. removing permission for use of microphone creates new issues such as not being able to open apps, open options, it kinda locks down the app .

The problem with the launcher being able to play music in background appears to be that the app wants access to your microphone and use it.

Hi frend

Friends, I greet everyone!

There was a problem, please help me solve!

There is a Chinese radio tape recorder on the "8227L_Demo" chip. A year ago I installed the CWG launcher and enjoyed it!

At some point earlier, a situation arose that third-party music players did not work in the background. In the settings I set "play in the background" and it all worked.

Recently, the same problem arose again ... But this time, no manipulations with the "play in the background" checkbox and others helped ... The launcher refuses to play music in the background from third-party applications.

Why? How to fix it? Why until this year everything worked for me, but here it stopped?

Trying to fix the problem myself, I found that if you disable CWG access to the microphone in "android settings", then music from third-party players plays perfectly in the background!

But most of the buttons on the launcher ask for permission to access the microphone before firing. If this permission is given to the launcher, then the background music stops playing. If permission is not given, then the music plays, but half of the launcher buttons stop working, namely the "application menu", "launcher settings", "music player buttons".

Guys, how to defeat this infection, return full functionality again and enjoy using the launcher?

One more thing, the 1GB radio has a suspicion that music from third-party applications does not play in the background due to resource savings ... But, damn it, everything was fine for a year, I used it, why did it start behaving this way now? And where does the resolution of the microphone have to do with it?
[Android Head-Units] hyp hyp:
yes, I confirm regarding the closing of the radio and the music app, after having started them, and if you try to return to the carwebguru Home ...

as long as i had MTCD_HH unit, build rk3188 with android 5.1 everything worked perfectly, now i changed and i have unit with 8227L chip and android 8.1. Just installed webguru and given all permissions after starting radio or music and returning to the Home, the audio went off. I have removed the microphone permissions from the app and now everything works as it should except that you cannot access the program settings, insert widgets, the android system apps.

let's say that I have reached a compromise, that is, I have properly configured all the skins I use (5-6) and then I delete the permissions to the app's microphone; if I need to reconfigure some skins I give them and then I remove them. I believe that app settings are not something you do every day

Hello

in carwebguru I would like to change the system icons, volume of sound, wifi, exct ...

do you know if this is possible and how to do

Merci
[Android Head-Units] hyp hyp:
yes it's possible ... you have to create some icons with a graphics program or download some from the internet, and import them into the "icons" folder of carwebguru ....

I actually start from an empty skin, I create the background I want with photoshop and then I place the buttons and give it the interactive functions.

These are some of my works on the basis, however, of the skin range that I mainly use (as you can see from the speedometer) which, however, I partially modified within the apk by removing some graphic elements of the skin that bothered me.

Audio problems

Hi all, I've downloaded the latest version of cwg and I have a problem playing any type of audio. I prefer jet audio but have also tried poweramp and the cwg player. What happens is about 3 seconds of playing, the launcher switches back to the active apps screen whilst playing audio. If I press the home button, then the launcher comes back but the audio stops. Then the cycle goes round again.

Can anyone help?
