Would you please allow to add third party music player widget in your app.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
They are allowed. This launcher supports all third party android widgets.

Moreover it has a built in music widget which supports: fm radio (with ability to give names to radio stations), Spotify, Google Music, PowerAmp, PC Radio, Neutron and Stellio players.
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
I suggest to make a YouTube video on a how to/overview of the launcher. The price is a bit high . I will rate this launcher now at a max of 3.99 dollars. For the premium version. Now it looks like you what to make fast money . I see this before with a lot of new apps. At the and it all goes wrong. Sorry to say this. Thanks for the nice developments at this stage

Maybe a stupid question, but how do I delete a widget?

Hold a finger on it for a second and move the widget to the cross:

Been using this launcher for the past couple of days. Works really well (px5 head unit). Gonna try to make a video of it soon. Keep updating and adding features, before this I was using Car Launcher Pro, but that seems abandoned. Basically what I'm always looking for is an attractive and functional launcher where buttons and text are large. Could we get a screensaver with time, current song, speed, and weather info on a black background (like in Car Launcher pro, only there it only showed time)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I think I can, but first I need to understand better why don't you just setup a separate screen with large widgets (this is all possible with FCC Launcher). Many users told me that the launcher helped them to get rid of screensavers since all the info can be made large enough and is available.

So, what do you really want from screensaver what is not available now via home screen? Thanks.
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
It seems that HCTWidget works for me also although the widget frequency display always reverts back to FM1 each reboot (Even though it is playing the station I left it on) rather than the station I was on. It does seem if i start the radio and wait a while it does update to correct frequency (1-2 minutes) So the on/off commands combined w/ the ability to select presets (something like a button 1+6 like most widgets would be nice.

I'll included pics to make it easier to understand. let me know if you also experience this?

Dave
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
Also I can report that it work ok .

At@ TT_vert and po.ka

Can you test also this find a bug maby.

When I have a shortcut on first page I get it on page two and three but not on a page up like 3 2 1

Maybe you can confirm?

Hope you understand my bad English :silly:
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
I'm not sure what you are asking.

Can someone using this HCTwidget let me know if they reboot does it sit on FM1 for a period of time? I'm ok with it if its the way it is but if I turn on the radio via widget it shows FM1 regardless of what station I am on for One minute and 30 seconds then switches the display to the proper station. Just curious. The radio still stays on and other media plays over it sadly.

Dave
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:

[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Can't find it in your post. Can you pls check?

Btw, I see in your logs frequencies like 780 or 560. What do they mean? Is it FM or AM? How this values are visible in radio?

For example 10500 is 105.00 MHz FM
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
Make sure you have space available for what you are dragging. I can drag from screen 3 to screen 1.
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
780 is AM And it displays as follow: See pic

FM would display like 105.00, 92.70, etc.

Have included radio and widget again.
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
I don't know much about customizing apps but I may play around with it. I'd like to remove the right pane w/ the media option as I won't use it and perhaps put something else in there like speed. I like malays JY 511 launcher mailnpage w/ weather/speed/radio to be honest but this launcher has so much more going for it right now.
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
Its on the fileserver in my signature.

It wont be in the Playstiore - its an MTC launcher - Roximo is a seller of MTCB/C/D units and they seem to have commissioned MTC/HTC to make them theyre own launcher which always come on their units, there are versions for MTCB/C KK and L and MTCD both RK3188/PX3 and RK3368/PX5. The MTCB/C KK and L nes are on the fileserver, not sure they will work on MTCD if thats what you have. Try if not I ll get the MTCD version uploaded.
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
Typos must I decompile the roximo launcher or first install it copy .widget.apk remove roximo install FCC and install widget ?
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
Just install the launcher and the widget should show up even if youre not using the Roximo launcher as your main launcher, just having it installed should be enough for it to show up.

But if you can get the widget out of the launcher for installing on its own that would be really good - I ve searched about how to do it but I didnt think it would be possible without knowing what all the code means, from your reply it seems I m wrong, which is cool.
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
Downloaded the Launcher5carandroid.apk and tried to install via CLI and got Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES], Pushed to sd to install but also failed. Any idea why this is? Launcher3 worked? Redownloaded launcer5, same deal. What is the difference in the two,a ny idea? Launcher 3 adds no additional widgets to FCC widget list when trying ot add.

Dave
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
Launcher 3 is just an MTC launcher, with the non real widget. Did you download the KK one or the L one ? What unit do you have MTCB/ or C ?

Whilst they do install (in my experience) normally, I usually add them to system/priv-app and change permissions to the same as the existing launcher.
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
im MTCB and KK. It doesn't specify MTCB or D on the page. This is what I got it from. I've tried both Roximo links, one is 3 and one is 5.

http://huifei.fs-fileserver.de/content/apps/MTC Launchers/
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
Strange, I ve installed both the KK and L version on KK units. I m having trouble with the password on the server at the mo, pm me and I can email you both versions.
[Android Head-Units] pa.ko:
Yes it does the same for me. But check if it does that in some other Android launcher. I noticed that FCC itself has some strange behaviour and widgets refreshing and taking focus from apps in first 30 sec after start. So it may be up to FCC itself not the widget.

---------- Post added at 07:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 AM ----------

As this discussion on Radio widgetgot confusing to me, I decided to compile some short summary for [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] so he has not to go through several pages, install several launchers and finally loose interested in this topic :)

Current FCC built-in Radio widget has an issue with turning radio on/off pressing the play button. HCT Widget I posted has no such issues, so it may be good source of MCU control code/logic to decompile and extract.

Still, it is noted that HCT widget is not restoring the last radio frequency for 20-30 sec after startup. But it is also noted that FCC launcher takes focus and is refreshing widgets in same timeframe so these may be related. (BTW I would like that focus stealing and widgets flashing/refreshing be resolved in FCC anyhow)

Finally, I would like to have separate Radio widget (with on/off button, station buttons etc) 2x1 in size at most, separate from media player widget. That separation is important in order to be able to have both widgets on home page and to be able with single click to switch among radio and player as well to turn off any of them in case of need (and simplicity and one-click is important in driving the car, and I must say that many discussions on MTCB threads here are neglecting that very important aspect and are considering many functionalities as they are intended to mobile phone and not for car HU which you have to use in safe and easy way while driving!)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Thank you, Pavle for summary! This is helpful.

I've just uploaded a new beta with modifications to radio switching actions. Please check.

I've also added some experimental feature to Player widget:

I can see where you are coming from ... Mr ISTQB

If anyone can get the Android Player developers to "Toe the Line", it should be you. :)

There are some Players that are Android STANDARDS, from large Organizations like GOOGLE & AMAZON ( and to a lesser extent Power-amp, Pandora, Spotify and SirusXM).

The only one I personally asked Speedfire to add was AMAZON, because, at least here in the USA, it is one of the Biggest and lowest Subscription Cost Music Streaming services, (especially if you already have Amazon Prime.)

In other countries, other Players may be just as Popular -- I don't know...
[Android Head-Units] acmegr:
Dear all hello,

The app looks great and I bought the premium because of that and because the developer seems to work a lot on it.

The problem is that I can't figure out how to use radio. I am talking about local FM radio, without DAB+, no online application, just old fashioned FM radio that doesn't need network data.

With original launcher it works fine. The issue is that the app of the original launcher is somewhere hidden and I can't link it with FCC Launcher.

From what I searched, it was asked before but I couldn't find the answer. My apologies if it's somewhere in the thread and I didn't find it!

So, any suggestions?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
This depends on device. Probably yours is not supported. Which processor does it have?
[Android Head-Units] acmegr:
At the moment I have the below info (which for most of them I have no idea what they stand for). Please let me know if one of them is what you need.

HMI, MCU, MEDIA, BTV, Model number, Kernel Version, Build number, Custom Build version.

If you need something other than those, please give me some instruction where to find it and I will post it asap.

Thank you for your prompt reply!!!

Guys,

I am either missing something or ran into a bug. When i add a new page it somehow does not show the background image as depicted in the skin selection page. Also, after a add a new page i cannot delete it anymore? How do i do that? I click it, drag it to the right and click the delete page text but it doesn't do that...
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
1. No background means that this page is selected as a Screensaver. See general settings to change that

2. Deletion of page doesn't work now. I will fix this
[Android Head-Units] aalmans:
Hi SpeedFire,

Thanks for the response. I will wait for a new version in that case.

With regards to the background picture. I did not set it as screensaver page. It seems that it always shows the normal android home screen wallpaper as FCC background?

[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

could you please implement an option to disble the button interception?

Since all my buttons are controlled via MCU/Canbus you new function prevents the buttons from work out of FCC.

Example:

In FCC with Neutron player active the media controlls work fine, but switching to the player directly no buttons work anymore :(

--

Very sad but I'm going to investigate MTCManager more indepth to maybe find out a way.

Logcat only show FCC_Service recoqnizing the button codes, but I cannot map anything as in your wheelkey study no button codes appear.

(Mentioned earlier, that MTCD Tools sees the button codes aswell and can assign action, but not deactivate the preconfigured assignments)

[Android Head-Units] sbruda:
+1 to that. I tried it (and might use it in the future in a limited scope), but it is still in its infancy and does not work very well. For example in my case if I bind a code to a SWC button then that button is seen, but if I bind the same code to a front panel button then crickets. mtce-utils does it much better and in a complete fashion.

In any event, allowing one to bind a button but not allowing the destruction of that binding is akin to highjacking and should be fixed.

BUMP

Still does not seem to be working.

Please could you take a few minutes to re-test the Music Player Widget on your setup, to make sure it is still working correctly on the Latest beta ( as above).

With just the 4th Player (ie other 3 blank), on my system it still wants to display info from other non-playing (non loaded) Players, and takes a lot of fiddling with to get it to sync back onto the current player (eg Poweramp).

I believe there will always be the possibility that it can get out of sync (player crashes etc), and when it does, it takes a lot to get it manually re-synced.

It really needs to be actively checking it's sync (say once a second), and taking the appropriate re-syncing action if it detects it is out-of-sync.

I think you will see this if you try it on your setup.

Thanks

THANK YOU :)

I assume that you did some fixes to the Music Player Widget, as all my problems that I was having with it, and reported to you seem to have been fixed in this latest Beta !!

The Google progress bar is even working correctly now, and initializes correct at the start of a new song ... NICE :)

The only thing that is not working is the Progress bar when the recently added "Amazon Play" is the player.

(I recall when you added it you said it was just a basic GENERIC Player implementation...)

It shows no progress bar at all .. Really NOT A BIG DEAL -- just letting you know.

(No bar is better than an incorrect bar)

I have to say this again... This FCC Launcher is FANTASTIC.. I really now cannot imagine using any other Launcher .. there is far too much Functionality in FCC that I would so miss.

So once again .. THANK YOU .. for everything you do ..

Got most of what I want setup on FCC. The options to configure it are limitless.

This is what I have so far:

Main Music selection Page

Today I switched from Circle to Square for Artwork.

The Circle was a nice design, but often cut off important parts of the artwork.

Note: Title and Artist are displayed in a 2nd Player Widget, on a Dark Background.

Too often , when displayed on top of the Artwork, it became lost & unreadable.

Artwork has Current Player name on top of it.

Also had the Circular Progress bar (when working :) )

Driving Page - also shows GPS determined Road I am on (deleted from Picture)

Shows Current speed and speed limit.

Note: Speed limit is currently not very reliable :(

[IMG="Utils Page"]http://www.fs-mp.com/Utils.jpg[/IMG]

Utility page -- Easy access to often used Apps

No doubt, other users of FCC have better setups -- I've only been using it for about 8 weeks now.

Always open to idea as to better layouts :)
[Android Head-Units] Ben.suffolk:
It stopped working again :(

When it was working I also found a bug. As standard it had the details at the top and the radio station name below (I w using text only display for the player widget), in this mode it scrolled the details nicely if the text was too long. However if you swapped the artist and track details over (so the station name was at the top) it would not scroll the detail text, it was just static.

Also the details text would not follow the colour you set for it in settings. It would always be a grey colour.

Now the colour bug is fixed, but the text randomly disappears again.
[Android Head-Units] Smess1210:
I'm also experiencing the same issues with dab text services going blank and updating randomly, all text services run flawlessly within the hacked dab+ app in standalone mode...

I'm also having strange play/pause, skip track behaviour whilst using the media widget to control A2DP Bluetooth in that play/pause doesn't work at all & trying to skip back & forth initiates play/pause of playing track rather than skipping to previous/next, again this works perfect in standalone A2DP app.

As a side note, A2DP shows album art of last app used eg dab+ or Spotify etc rather than showing nothing, don't know if that's fixable....

Thanks, S.
[Android Head-Units] aalmans:
I did some more testing. I found out that ONLY the screensaver has a background. All the other screens have none. I guess this is an easy fix? Just wondering why others did not report this. I is very obvious when you do a new install

Hi guys.

I'm back home. Beta 3.104 is uploaded:

- "Delete screen" function works again

- MiniMap is migrated (hopefully you won't need to fix anything manually) so it stays on correct screen when some other screens are deleted
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Still seeing an issue with the Radio.

(a) If another player is selected and playing music, and the Radio is selected, it changes to the radio for a seconds, and then return to the Player, and now the Player is paused.

Select Radio again, and this time it goes and stays in radio.

(Note: Player widget now has radio Artwork, but still players former Players name, ie It does not say RADIO).

(b) If another player is selected and NOT playing music (ie Paused) , and the Radio is selected, it changes to the radio and stays in radio.

(Note: AS above, Player widget now has radio Artwork, but still players former Players name, ie It does not say RADIO).

Temporary (I hope) work-around is to either Pause any current playing Player before selecting Radio, or be prepared to selected radio Twice, to get it to stay in Radio.

This effect is limited to the Radio, ie switching between other players does not cause the current player to pause, until the new player starts playing.

Cannot see a work-around for : once Radio is selected and running, the Player WIdget, while displaying the Radio or Station Artwork, still displays the former Players name, (ie does not update to "Radio", or even BLANK)

So maybe not quite there yet, but great Progress on what it was a few beta versions earlier :)
