I'm really sorry. I also wrote that the factory player and launcher did not do it.
[Android Head-Units] therick3:
Same artwork issue with Google Music as well that just started with latest release. Still the most versatile launcher so hopefully it is an easy fix for the next release.
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
What do you mean with "double up" and "factory player and launcher did not do it"? Do you mean that they do not continue where they were left when switching off the contact?
[Android Head-Units] DaAntipop:
I really like this Launcher. Looks very good and very customizable.

Any plans on making a paid version without the Ad-Tracking?

Or, if the project is abandoned, any chance to open source it? - It would be a really good base for integrating more MTCB/MTCD specific stuff.
[Android Head-Units] carwebguru:
Hi all! I have big plans for this project. Today I make new version with many new functions I hope your like it! Some new changes: new apps window (with sorting and favorites), many new options, some changes in skins, one new skin, optimization of stability and performance and more!

Please support me! Make short review on youtube, make post on Facebook or Instagram. My project is free and I hope for good reviews and support. :)
[Android Head-Units] segu45:
Ok now I have the latest version, today I will take a look and I will share it in several Chinese double din forums where I am. I was expecting a new version because I thought this project was stopped. Continue with this good work and I will post my impressions and suggestions.

Amazing!I tried lots of launcher nova, cardroid, dashdroid car launcher and yours today by chance. I must say that CWG combines all the qualities of these launchers.

Simply it lacks way to save a customized screen, ability to rename shortcut to app, to change backcolor of a theme. Not very easy to use but performant, good looking and awesome options to do the job (skins, shortcuts, Widgets, dashboard, meteo).

Very good job it will become the launcher i will use! The day when we can see waze in a widget it would be fantastic
[Android Head-Units] DragonFlye:
Thanx for your effort. :good:

Have certain (instability) issues been addressed or looked at? It would be nice to see something of a change-log and version change numbers.

Keep up the good work. CWB is certainly one of the most promising front-ends.

Edit: just downloaded CWB on my phone and noticed some positive changes! Any chance to export CWB's settings (in the next version) so it can be imported on my Android Head-unit?
[Android Head-Units] carwebguru:
Thank you!
[Android Head-Units] carwebguru:
Yes, I plan to make export of the current config, but not in the next version.

[Android Head-Units] Fuze2009:
I just installed this Launcher from the play store yesterday - I really love it and it's probably the best attempt at a car launcher I've seen so far. My unit it a TW AllWinner Quad-Core device.

I'm having one major issue - none of my factory apps like steering wheel control, radio app, video app etc. work. They just crash immediately. I have tried restoring the factory launcher and even uninstalling CWG launch and clearing cache etc. and now I still have the problem even after going back. I really don't want to have to do a factory reset.

Can you please help?
[Android Head-Units] alaintxo:
Hello. I would like to ask you for more car logos. I need the Alfa Romeo logo (the new one without gold).

If it is possible to include it, it will be perfect for me. Other option is that you can select the logo from your own galery.

And in my opinion, be able to change the background in the main screen in case of the Range skin would be a good idea, seleccting one of your own galery.

Thank you very much and sorry for my poor english.

Got an update today.

First thing that was visible as bugfix is that all Google icons are now visible again in the App drawer. They were not visible anymore on Android 8.0. Now they are again visible.

Thanks.
[Android Head-Units] RyanJones1980:
This looks amazing. Once I am ready for my install I will be downloading it. I do have one question/suggestion. I am planning on installing this on my Honda Goldwing. I think all the functions it has currently will be useful. I was wondering if this had any ability to be an alarm as well. Say, use the tilt sensor or g-force sensor to set of an alarm is the bike is being move or sat on. If not, I think this would be a great feature if it's possible to add.

Thank you for putting out such an awesome piece of software.
[Android Head-Units] OneMisterios:

Translate

I ask you on facebook if you need help to translate spanish or romanian but you never answer :)) lol
[Android Head-Units] RyanJones1980:
From the way I understand this sofware is it's on all the time anyway. It just puts the tablet into an idle/sleep state which is woken when a sensor (button, touch, etc.) is tripped. The alarm could run in the background when the tablet is idle.

I could design this software myself, but it would be nice if it was all bundled up into one nice dashboard.
[Android Head-Units] OneMisterios:
Well my radio its not all the time. If i dont push the key he dont have AC . He cant stay on all the time cuz you kill the battery.

hi,

after reboots cwg crashes often while initially loading. do someone have a solution for it?

My steering wheel buttons work as dpad left and right. Is there a way to use them as scroll/ tab / tab+shift in cwq?

---------- Post added at 09:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 AM ----------

have this problem too. Is there a fix now?
[Android Head-Units] Croak:
CWG doesn't do anything with media controls, that's entirely a function of your head unit and your SWC adapter/CANBUS box.

As for the Spotify issue, the author lives in a country without Spotify, so he can't easily troubleshoot those kinds of issues.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Very much like this launcher -- looks like a keeper..

Unless I am missing something, in the Statistics section, if MPH is selected, then the Distance and Best Acceleration parameters still stay in KM :(

If a user is in a country using MPH, then distances are more typically in MILES, and not KM.

So would be nice if those Distance & Acceleration parameters switched between Km & Miles, according to the select SPEED setting (KM/h & MPH)

Maybe in next update please :)

Ehm.. not really. An app can react to keyevents. It can be build in both, of course.

The spotify bug is not only in spotify, in google music too.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Yes, if only the USA would do that !!! You don't have to convince me .. the problem is finding the BILLIONS of dollars that it would now cost for America to convert everything (especially Transports, Road signs, Cars etc) to the metric system.

The App already has a KM/h MPH selection option, so all it needs is that selection to work across its Statistics area, and convert a few other parameters between Miles & KM, ( That should not cost BILLIONS of $$s :silly:)

Wish for help please

Very impressed with CWG, but I have some questions. I see folk making their own themes, so what i want to do is possible but I don't know where to start. I can follow complex instructions without issue. I wish to move the widgets/buttons around to locations I want. I wish to change the size of the widget/button. I have a home screen more or less exactly how I want it, but how do I get rid of the little green boxes (widget placeholders) and make a new one of a size I choose. I would like to have the whole of the bottom showing the address of where I am, for example. I have zero interest in music backgrounds and buttons on the home screen to control the player. When listening to Music I stay on that screen, same for radio and dab. I have a clock widget that I really like but it takes ages to load when I power the unit on. Can I make it a fixed part of the theme? Many Thanks for any help.

Has anyone recently managed to get a Google map API key from google to activate the Google Map within WebCarGuru. ? -- or we stuck with the map being grayed out, and with a watermark of "DEVELOPER" on it ?

It seems that Google changed things with the "Free" Key in mid July 2018, and looking at the Google website, you need to be a "Rocket Scientist" to navigate through the Technical BS, just to get a key Individual, non commercial Key, for a Mobile Android app.

play / pause button

Why when I first press the play button it plays my player but if I press again to pause it never changes the icon again. It always shows the pause icon. The music will play or pause but the icon will never change past the first time.
[Android Head-Units] Stevenlim:
Yes. I just managed to get a Google Map API to use with CarWebGuru.

You need to enable the following 2 APIs

Geocoding API

Maps JavaScript API

It works well to get the location name and load the Google map from the Calendar :)

Good job CarWebGuru, your Launcher is just awesome.:good:
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
+1 :) -- would be a GREAT addition

Would also be nice to be able to CLOSE ALL from a button on the Launcher.

(obviously not closing CarwebGuru , but instead, returning it to it's default set Home Screen)
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Good to know ... now if only I could figure out how to get the Key :(

I am sure I am not the only one who is totally lost in Navigating the Google developer's website to get a key for their own very limited personal use with CarWebGuru.

Any chance you could post a step-by-step instructions on how you managed to do this. -- Please :):):)
[Android Head-Units] Stevenlim:
Sure :)

1. Goto https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/dashboard

Note: If you haven't created a google project, it will prompt you to create a new google project.

2. Click at the Library from the left menu and enter "Geocoding API" to search for the Geocoding API at Search API page.

3. Click at the "Geocoding API" from the search result and click "Enable" button to enable the API in your Google project.

4. Repeat the same step (2-3) for "Maps JavaScript API" API.

5. After these 2 APIs have been enabled, click at the "Credentials" from the left menu.

6. At the first "Credentials" page tab, click the "Create Credentials" drop down button and select "API Key".

7. A long String API Key will be generated, copy the API Key and put it into a file called googlemap.txt, and put the file at the path /CarWebGuru/keys/googlemap.txt.

8. Restart CarWebGuru and done, enjoy :)

Words cannot express my THANKS to you. You have made my day.

(simple-- when you know how ) -- all up and working -- which is almost a rare event for my Android head unit !

I spent over 10 hours trying to figure out why I lost hearing Phone calls over Bluetooth from my phone to the head unit. Caller could hear me, but I could not hear them... despite being able to hear Music from the phone over Bluetooth. It was working, and then one day it stopped !!!

Turned out to be a FEATURE of my HU (Eonon GA2170B)

Blue Tooth phone audio will only play to the FRONT speakers (which can make sense, as it is those in the front that have access to the HU).

At some time in my "Playing" I had moved the Speaker front/back fader most of the way to the back, and that cause no Phone audio on the front speakers.

Now I have to go back and re-install all the apps I removed, trying to figure out what was causing the loss of BlueTooth Phone Audio. :crying:

Sometimes it's the simple things in life that are the most frustrating !!

---------- Post added at 05:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 AM ----------

Now if only I could figure out how to make Google Assistant "wake up" by a LONG Press on my Steering Wheels MIC button.

Defeats the whole purpose of "Hand Free - safe driving" when you have to go find and press on a small Microphone icon on the HU.

Eonon GA2170B with added Steering wheel control.

It works great on my wife's new Honda, which has Android Auto (and everything heavily locked down so that little can be added without rooting).

Is the LONG Press on the Mic steering wheel button a unique feature of AA, or can any added HU be made to operate in this way without AA. ?

---------- Post added at 05:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 AM ----------

Well, not only does it not switch consistently to Miles for distances, when you select MPH, but there are at least 2 dialogue texts that indicate that their values will be in Miles/Second :confused:

I guess I need a an additional 5000 HP to achieve any meaningful reading on that scale !!
[Android Head-Units] Stevenlim:
I was having problem with my android player where it was slow to install any apk, also there were some weird behavior. After I did a factory reset of the HU, the slow installing apk and other issue are all been solved. Maybe you can try that.

My HU also having problem to custom learning steering button to launch certain app, as was told by seller that those HU connected via a canbus box cannot support custom button training, hence we have to leave with this unless to root the device to remap the button to trigger app such as Google assistant.

However, you can still wake up the Google assistant by using bluetooth hand free or using "Ok Google" voice control.

After spending more hours that I want to admit to, messing with CWG, I have put it aside, and am now using FCC.

I realize that CWG is just a "Hobby Development" by it's author, and it is a very neat design -- However it has a number of major Bugs/design error, that make it less than desirable, and after numerous times that it lost configurations, and it's lacking of a LOCK to stop accidental changes, it appears to me that currently, FCC is a better choice.

I am also a little disappointed, that even after making a sizable donation to to CWG (4 times what FCC charges for it's PRO version), the author has ignored all my communications to him, about the bugs.

Fair enough, maybe it's a dying App, and the author has lost interest --- that would be a shame as it has great potential, but that's his choice.

My choice is to switch to FCC that has active support.
[Android Head-Units] Stevenlim:
CWG has build in auto volume, auto brightness. And it also support system widget, as long as FCC has a system widget for Mini Map, it can be incorporated in CWG. With the latest beta version (You need to join as a beta tester in playstore in order to use it), you can even resize and custom placement of the widget. I did try FCC, but I prefer CWG due to its highly flexible of configuration, nice theme and easy to use.

The Google map tracking and statistic make it very unique and easy to use.

Maybe you can share your FCC screen design here and see whether it has problem to configure it in CWG with the same feature.

Just sharing, no hard feeling.

Sorry for my english

i´m very happy with this interface but i´m trying to use a system widget, a weather widget.

But when i restart the unit all the system widgets(weather widget or waze or other system widget) are all blacks and i have to reinstall again

Any idea?

thanks
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Yes, I admit that CWG has some "cool" and "unique" features , but so does FCC.

Maybe when and if CWG has evolved to include the functionality that I personally feel it needs (like the ability to LOCK ones widget setup so it cannot be changed my mistake), then I will re-evaluate the choice.

I am still very new to FCC, and am reading through their 100+ pages of Forum messages, which are mainly between users and the developer.

It is very impressive just how much the developer listens to, and quick implements suggestions from users, to continually improve this App, to meet that the users are looking for.

I agree, there are no hard feelings, (these only an Android Apps, and nothing to get upset about -

I reserve my upsets for all the unsolicited telemarketing and scam phone call I get from "Card Services, Home Improvements and "IRS" telling me I am going to Jail unless I go to Walmart and send them $1000's in "Itune Cards" !!)

---------- Post added at 11:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 AM ----------

One of the Functionalities I am looking for with my newly installed Aftermarket Android head unit, is what my wife's new Honda has. A LONG PRESS on the "MIC" steering wheel button wakes up Google Voice input, (and reduces any audio volume) so one can make Google Voice requests, as opposed to what I seem to be stuck with, which is SHOUTING over the radio "Hello Google" every time I want to do a Hands Free Voice action.

Maybe I am missing something and this is already something one can easily do (without Android Auto" pre-installed in the HU -- My Eonon GA2170B did not come with AA installed, and the Eonon tech support tells me that the unit "does not support AA" -- so I am still trying to figure out if the end user can install AA onto their HU that did not come with AA.

( I am still very new and GREEN on all this HU stuff as I have only just fitted a HU to my "Historic" 30+ year old vehicle, so am looking for all the help I can get )

I don't have such problem. Maybe you can download the latest beta version of CWG from playstore and see whether the problem been solved. However, you need to enroll yourself as the beta tester for CWG first.
