I´m facing the same issue from time to time. Seems that there is an issue with the registration of the Split-version. Yes, I checked the setting in the system settings a couple of times now, but the box comes up some times when Fcc is started again when switching back to the home screen.
[Android Head-Units] Ericang:
Yes i did.

that is what i had been doing all along
[Android Head-Units] wifi7501:
hello, why I can't upload backup configuration on drive?

on my gdrive there are no fcc folders, and the trash folder is already empty.

I have full version!
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
If someone wants to test a new widget settings here is an alpha - 3.442-test3

Only one widget is currently done - it is called "Clock NEW TEST" (you can find it near the old Clock widget in the widgets list).

Please test and report if there are any issues.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
I have the same issue when savig to SD card or GDrive, both operations failed, can't save settings !
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
N

Nice, @SpeedFire-!

These backgrounds are really good. Would it be able to add a custom one too, as for the apps?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Nice idea!

Please test this version with custom background: fcclauncher-3.442_test5.apk
[Android Head-Units] Ericang:
Is this the split screen version?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Yes. This version is with a selector Normal / Split-screen
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Yes works so far with a custom background, but there is an issue when you change the size of the widget.

As soon as you resize the widget, the font size changes too.

[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
This is an Autofit option which is enabled by me for this widget.

It looks like autofit doesn't work very well in your case. I will try to reproduce this.

I will also probably make Autofit option to be enabled/disabled by user.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Please try this alpha with Autofit fixed and Autofit option added to widget's settings: fcclauncher-3.442_test6.apk
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
And what about the GDrive and SD backups not working ?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I will look at this after all widgets are transferred to the new type.

Google probably changed its API once again. This is usually not an easy fix.
[Android Head-Units] nhas81:
Good afternoon friends, a long time ago I asked about the compatibility of my radio with this magnificent Launcher, here I leave the specifications of my radio so that you can tell me which processor to choose. Thanks

@nhas81 It's an UIS7862 unit. I have one too and I am running Fcc Car Launcher full verision (selected PX5 device).

For me everything works fine.

View attachment 5269297
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Ok I understand that, no worries, in the meantime can you please tell me what folders do I have to backup to keep the config safe ?

UIS7862 HeadUnit
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Hi @SpeedFire-

with unswitched Autofit option it works perfect now. (y)

Edit:

By the way: Backup and restore are working fine on G-Drive and local on my units.

For local backups you should once create a folder in Download, named "Fcc_Launcher".

In this folder create a new folder named "Backups".

In Google there is a folder named "FCCLauncherBackup" in root of my google drive.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
The issue is probably on Android 10+ devices due to additional restrictions introduced in Android 10.

I don't think you can do this manually. Better to use something like Titanium Backup in this case.

If you still want to try the manual way - the folder you need is \data\data\ru.speedfire.flycontrolcenter\
[Android Head-Units] RealZac:
For me only G-Drive backup work. Local backup doesn't. Got an UIS7862 HeadUnit, too.

:unsure:
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
@SpeedFire-

I´m just on an Android 9 unit. The Android 10 is not connected, so I am not able now to prove.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Ok, I'll use Alpha Backup Pro or Swift Backup for that instead
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Ok I tried with both Alpha Backup Pro and Swift Backup (in my UIS7862 rooted unit) and both worked flawlessly, I mean I backed up / delete and then restore app with settings, by the moment it is great, but I wonder if you can (in a near future of course) repair your app native backup/restore system and also add a kind of scheduler to do automatic backups ?
[Android Head-Units] gottahavit:
Did you even get this running? I tried but had same issue. I have the UIS7862 version that has several nice launcher built in so for now I'm just living with them.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Why should you need a scheduler?

If you are ready with setting up, just save it. If you change some settings... just save it.

I don´t see a reason for saving it automatically with any kind of scheduler, at least as long nothing changed in the meantime.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Sounds logic, but a scheduler will be nice (one that detects changes in backup checksum and if different, redo backup)
[Android Head-Units] Anufre:
Hello, in the screen options in FCC Settings it does not allow me to access the brightness section, and on the main screen, pressing the brightness icon does not alternate between the different modes. What I can do? Thanks.

How can I make the android system boot faster? Is there a way to access sleep mode or something similar? Thanks a lot.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
If you would give us some details of your head unit (MCU and Android version) someone could give you some answer about brightness.

The other questions should be handled in the related threads for your unit. This thread is not the right one. This thread is only for the FCC car launcher.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I'm working on a new Icon Widget.

Good news: it will support dynamic change of icon packs.

Here is a video:
[Android Head-Units] Anufre:
Okay. A photo with the characteristics. Thanks a lot. It's supposedly Android 10, although I suspect it works with Android 8.View attachment 5273919

[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Can you try to record a LogCat log?
[Android Head-Units] Ericang:
hi @SpeedFire-

the issue of showing up FCC logo when i go back to the main menu still exist.

Same issue.
[Android Head-Units] pug304_:
since v1.01/end of march there is a huge improvement! It is necessary to click on compass widget only, close dialog with OK to get widget run! No more banner "Premium" came up.

one idea: if car speed is zero may be you are able to freeze the pointer/triangle? Otherwise it's jumping crazy arround
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Would be a good idea, but there is as always a but...

Even if you don´t move your car, it is possible that the GPS signal shows movement, just some 1-4 km/h movement. That is the reason that the compass is moving around. I doubt that there is a possibility to get rid of the movement...
[Android Head-Units] pug304_:
not at all, since there is a simple trick, for sure as well used by most navigation systems. If spped is less the a (defined) threshold heading is unchanged. quite easy. And at low speed you never will turn that fast!
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Agreed
[Android Head-Units] melonjuice:
Trying out the split screen launcher, I'm getting asked every time I reboot which launcher I want to set as default even though I set split screen as alwats.

Edit: Found my issue. Not related to FCC. Works great now now
[Android Head-Units] jmckeejr:
I've got an Xtrons px5 unit MTCE Android 10. Brightness does not change for me through fcc but does change through other apps (edge gesture app). Would love the auto brightness to work. Fcc recognize device as new px5 (I've tried some other settings also). Please let me know anything I can try
[Android Head-Units] gottahavit:
in case you never figured this out..

I figured out the trick today to replace the launcher with a custom one on the IDoing. Apparently they don't show the "pick default launcher" setting, but if you install Nova and then any launcher you want you can use Nova settings to set any launcher as default(probably well known trick here, but never found it searching).
[Android Head-Units] NitroNokia:
Hi, little help or guide need here.

Im trying to use my old samsung A70 as car headunit in a older bmw. Listening music with aux and using maps works fine. i can't seem to get that bluetooth calling working. First of all, i can't normally connect to my phone with bluetooth normally, my phone does not recognize that a70 as a headset/audio device. Do i have to flash a different rom or what would help me use this setting.

I do not care about the maps and music very much as i can use my phone with dongle for music but calling is a must.

Right now using stock rom with latest update.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I almost completed the new IconWidget.

I've also added press animation for all widgets:

Do you like it?

I still think if this animation should be applied to clickable widgets only or to all of them (like now)?

Here is the latest alpha: fcclauncher-3.442_test7.apk
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Yes, looks good! (y)

For a good UI design, it should only be applied to clickable widgets, so the user gets an optical feedback when he clicks on them. Giving an optical feedback when clicking on non-clickable objects would be just confusing.
[Android Head-Units] feili1986:
Hello everyone, when trying to configure the launcher album cover, artist, title and navi notifications I get the message this function is not available on this device, something can be done there. Thank-you
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Amazing

Are you ready to push to play store ?
[Android Head-Units] jmckeejr:
I find that when I apply icon pack even when select or unselected checkbox for apply style to unknown apps they are always a very tiny icon inside of circle (using round icon pack). Can't see original icon at all it's so small. It won't allow me to change individual icons either, long press go to options and pick icon but after save and restart it's exactly same as before. Really wish this feature work as well as any brightness change (previous post about it not change at all). This is on xtrons px5 unit specific for Chevrolet vehicle
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
I'm wondering if you can put an option like: If at least 1 FCC TPMS widget is active, then launch the FCC TPMS app in background (and of course open it fullscreen if the widget is touched)
[Android Head-Units] burjuvareis:
obd2 widget has an error.

Data freezes when I close the setting window.

also the commands I selected are deleted.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Hi, can you please give a link to the Icon Pack you used and an app which have wrong icon?

I will try to reproduce.

Btw, can you please clarify, you have this issue on a release version or on the latest Alpha version and a new Icon Widget?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Yes, this exact thing is already done.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
OBD2 is not the most reliable widget at the moment. It requires some extensive rebuilding. I agree.
[Android Head-Units] burjuvareis:
I'm sorry. 😔

I'll try again.

Pixel DARK Icon Pack - Apps on Google Play

Dark Pixel Style Icon Pack Inspired by Pixel Amoled Material color

play.google.com

It's on many apps and I'll get screenshot when I am in vehicle next. Any app without corresponding icon is put into shape of icon pack (circle) but very very small in middle. It should either be fit to shape or cropped to shape. One such app is automagic but also most factory apps (and any not included in icon pack)

Edit: I'm on release version now but will likely try alpha soon
[Android Head-Units] headroid:
Hello there,

Please let me know how to use navigation in the skin map as I am unable to do it. It just shows where I am moving but can't let me open navigating facilities to reach a destination.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I reproduced the issue. However this depends on the Icon Pack itself as far as I know.

The author of icon pack should create procedure for unsupported icons. In this case it wasn't done properly.

You can check this by trying other icon packs from different author.
[Android Head-Units] Tom Brenner:
I have the problem that every time I start the headunit, the last player opens first. Only when I press the home button the FCC launcher starts. Often I am also asked which default launcher I want to have, although I have already answered this many times and have set the FCC Launcher as default.

On the stock launcher I have an FCC widget put as it was described.

I have the latest beta installed; have a CSN2 headunit; the autostart options in the FCC-launcher settings are actually all set correctly.
[Android Head-Units] jmckeejr:
Just wanted to confirm this is correct. I tried another pack and is good but I haven't tried change just one icon with long press and options yet.

Are there any added functions if we have root? Would there be way to make brightness change? I found I can set swc button to change brightness and wonder if there any way to make widget/shortcut to this intent
[Android Head-Units] buffaloquinn:
Going to the last player might be your head unit's setting. I know mine has it and I had to disable it in the unit's system settings.
[Android Head-Units] Ericang:
i am also having this issue

everytime i press the main menu button, FCC launcher will show a splash screen of the launcher as well as asking me to choose FCC or other launcher as the default launcher
[Android Head-Units] Tom Brenner:
OK this option was disabled but enabling and then disabling it did the trick! Thank you for that!
[Android Head-Units] Tom Brenner:
One last annoying thing is that the FCC TPMS plugin asks for permission to access the USB2.0 serial on every reboot.
[Android Head-Units] sbruda:
Where do you have that setting exactly? I found an option to automatically play tracks on external storage, but for me the radio is the one that pops up instead of the home app to I believe that this option is not what I am looking for. Directions on what to look for would be much appreciated.
[Android Head-Units] buffaloquinn:
That might be your unit too. If it's on actual reboot of the system, not just turning on the car, it could be the unit resets some of the permissions. I have that problem with the computer connection on mine. I can set it to allow connection for ADB debugging, but it resets it on reboot. Sucks, because I can get ADB to reboot into FASTBOOT mode, but then I can't access FASTBOOT from the computer anymore.
[Android Head-Units] Tom Brenner:
FCC Settings -> Sound -> Music player on boot -> Automatically Launch Player on start up

I am using a different language setting, but the menu items should be called something like this
[Android Head-Units] sbruda:
Oh, I see, I was actually looking for a system setting. Unfortunately the Fcc setting has no chance of working since upon resuming Fcc does not even launch. I get the radio in front and that is it until I press the home button (when Fcc launches and then everything works as advertised). If anybody has any idea what goes wrong I would be ecstatic to hear it. In the meantime thank your for the suggestion and help.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
There is nothing wrong, because the FM radio is a system app and is not killed when going to sleep. That´s the reason that the radio starts playing on wake up.

You can try to activate:

Fcc settings --> System --> Autostart -->Clear last app before sleep
[Android Head-Units] sbruda:
True, but I was expecting that the home app (Fcc in this case) to also start up, which does not happen.

Good suggestion, thank you. Unfortunately it did not work. I am beginning to guess that the issue is at the OS level (which does not bother to launch Fcc at all).
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
What you should try: Close the FM app before you shut down the system. You need to get it out of the last apps. If it then works it is on system side.

By the way, about which unit with which MCU are we talking?
[Android Head-Units] sbruda:
Thank you, will try. Sorry for forgetting to mention it, this is all happening on a CSN2 unit (PX6 SOC).
[Android Head-Units] holm94:
Is there any step by step guide to get the routing in minimap to work? I've tried to start a Google dev. account to get the API key bit the laucher dont accept the key.
[Android Head-Units] buffaloquinn:
Speaking of the mini map, had anyone been able to change the car pointer at all? No matter what I try in settings, nothing changes.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Hi fellows, I did a search in the thread but without success, wish to know if the software will be compatible with Topway TS10 platform ? (as it is compatible wil AllWinner T3 and so on.....) ???

Thanks in advance
[Android Head-Units] sbruda:
I can systematically reproduce the expected behaviour (FCC launching on resume) if I quit the radio app before suspending the system. I am going to try next to quit the radio upon shut down, possibly using Tasker. If anybody knows an intent or something I can hook into for the purpose it would be much appreciated.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
There is no possibility to use any intent for shutting down the radio... I have searched long time for it. As I don´t use FM radio (I use DAB+ or Radionator for online radio)

Even if you are rooted, there is no chance to get in between the shut down (sleep mode) to use Tasker for it.

The only chance you have is:

You need to activate Tasker by using this little tool: https://xdaforums.com/t/solution-start-tasker-after-head-unit-sleep.4102439/ after deep sleep, (this is a known issue in Tasker since Android 9, but unfortunately will not be fixed there)

Use a Tasker profile like "Display On" and a task to switch back to the launcher like:

waiting some seconds

Show homescreen

In this case the radio might come up, but will automatically send to the background and Fcc would come up.
[Android Head-Units] pepiho:
I'm happy with this launcher.

Please help my with this problem:

[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Which MCU?
[Android Head-Units] pepiho:
MTCE_HA_V3.71_1
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
So that should work.

Fcc settings menue:

System

advanced settings

Select your device type: Rockchip

Rockchip device series: MTCD /MTCE /PX3 /PX5

May be you need to set the version of BT interface to v6

Display

Activate Auto brightness

choose your preferred settings in Auto brightness settings.

About the FM radio on startup:

Please read my comments above your posting. There is nothing you really can do, just follow the workaround I mentioned, or switch to NavRadio
[Android Head-Units] pepiho:
I set the brightness, but it's still not work. I've tried NavRadio, but sometimes the app doesn't sound (tuned, RDS function, but doesn't play). But there is no conflict with the FCC.

The whole problem is really with the original radio app, it kills with the FCC at startup. The unit switches 3 times between launcher and radio.

Thank you for your help.
[Android Head-Units] holm94:
Does the routing work for somebody?
[Android Head-Units] dummptyhummpty:
[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] Thanks for all of your hard work on this! It really makes these units usable. One question, is the player (Spotify in this case) supposed to pause when the unit turns off? I can't seem to find a setting for this.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
By default your head unit automatically closes all apps when it is turned off. Do you mean that you have added Spotify to the white list and it continues to play when HU is turned off?

P.S. player autostart options (do you want to continue playing on boot or not) are located in Autostart settings
[Android Head-Units] dummptyhummpty:
I have the head unit set to sleep (I guess?) for 30 minutes when the car turns off. It seems during this time, Spotify is still playing as when I get back in the car it's on a different song. I'm sure I just don't have something set correctly.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Hi, all!

Here is a new beta:

- Some major bugs are fixed

- Smoother opening / closing animation for All Apps page

- [New] IconWidget with several different layouts
[Android Head-Units] jun81:
Happy new year everyone!

[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION],

Last beta was great!

Using it for the longest time!

Stable n seldom with issues!

However some mention problems still exist and you are probably still working on them.

2.492 rockchip 5.1.1

- speed adjust volume does not follow rules. Volume get louder at every stop.

- restore last volume at startup does not work.

- i may have forgot this. Player widget does not display spotify song name only album art. Is it suppose to be like that?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I need LogCat log for the first issue.

You need to enable Device Broadcast Status in Spotify settings. (Spotify -> Settings -> Device Broadcast Status -> Enable)

[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Guys, this is an important step for the FCC Launcher in the New Year :o

SKINS!

You can imagine skin as a layer between wallpaper and a workspace with widgets and icons. It makes the whole experience more beautiful and car-like.

This means that you can use Skins AND Wallpapers together (even live-wallpapers) !

And.. you can create your own images for skins and assign them starting from this beta (different skins can be assigned to the different screens). One skin is already built-in (it should be used with 6 rows per 7 columns grid).

Currently, you will need to do some work yourself to set it up properly (e.g. put several IconWidgets and play with their margins parameters). But it is possible to make your FCC Launcher look like this:

You can even set entirely black image as a Skin for your second screen and use it as a screensaver:

http://gph.is/2Airya9

I hope you will like this feature :o
[Android Head-Units] HarryBk:
Amazing! Thank you so much for the continued support, by far the best money I have ever spent on an app!!
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Thanks. In your case speed variable resets to 0 from time to time (while it shouldn't). Please check a new beta for a possible fix.
[Android Head-Units] jun81:
[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

Little problem in album art. (Mtcb) it don't load on my device when use of the round player. And pc radio. Maybe it's only for mtcD devices?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Please check that you have enabled in PCRadio's settings option "Show album on lockscreen" so FCC Launcher can intercept it.
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
Yes that did the trick. Sorry forgot it.

Btw . Really nice that extra layer. That creates alot of possibility for developments.

I set my car logo now as my default picture for the round player looks really nice :good:
