-Sure, how do I do a LogCat log? What's the best way for a video?

-I've tried a complete reboot several times. Also removed the power completely and still the same.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
1. Please see the first post in this thread for LogCat tutorial. You can upload video to any cloud as a file and send me the link.

2. (deleted) I see the OS version in your post now.. That is really strange. You can send a LogCat + Video of songs changing as well.
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
Here are a couple LogCat Log's that should have captured the problem. I had another but it was too large. I'll get a video uploaded in a few.

I see that in a later Post, [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] has release a new version, that may have sided a lot of these issues, but not yet tried it.

However, getting back to the idea of keeping track of what issues, what players have, and at what version of those player.

I tried to do that a few months ago, and it turns out to be a MASSIVE, Time Intensive thing to do, and to maintain, so I gave up. :(

As a user/beta tester it was a daunting task, and I expect it would be the same for the developer, and take up the majority of his development time, having to check that any changes made to FCC, had not messed up ANY of the many supported Players..

So i believe how it is being addressed at the moment, might actually be the best way.. - relying on user feedback to fix specific issues.

I get the feeling that most of the issues might now be addressed... the main one being what appeared to be a basic confusion by FCC about what player was playing, and if FCC had updated the Artwork & Text correctly, especially when the player was changed, mid song.

---------- Post added at 04:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 AM ----------

Its under SOUND in the FCC menus.

Sound because it is to do with Radios, which are SOUND, and not in DISPLAY.

When you know this, it makes sense... even though you are talking about a Display Image !!!

I use it, and now AM stations are also supported !!! Really NICE !!
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Second log is useful. Thank you! The error is caught and will be fixed tonight (when I get home from work).

This log also explains why the songs are not updated in your case. This is because the crash happens in Notification Listener. And as you know it is required to reboot device after every such crash (no need to do this now until I fix the error).
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
Awesome! Glad you where able to catch it. Thank you! :good:

Did you still want the videos? I made 2 of them; one shows what happens when restarting the unit, and the other shows what happens when the unit is waking up from sleep (although both are kind of similar). I'm uploading them to my cloud now but is taking awhile due to my slow internet.

They will help. The LogCat was, however, the most important part.

FCC beta 3.210 - seems for me to be a major improvement.

Switching between players, and artwork & text refresh working a lot better.

"Seemed" to work even better after running a few "Clean up" programs, KillApps, clear cache, and a full reboot or two ??? MAy be my imagination -- difficult top tell.

Now even on Boot, it runs fine and almost without any strange or undesirable things happening.

Still get (as I have done in recent versions), a lot of FCC popping up a warning about FCC having stopped... but it has not, and if the warning is dismissed, all continues well. It is NOT restarting FCC like it did in previous versions !!! :)

There is still an issue, (not necessarily FCC), that when I boot, and it is going to start a Mp3 Player using USB, that the player loads, but either USB has not yet mounted fully by the OS, or the Player is still reading the UBS for the 2st time, and displays "Track not found". Hitting play after a few seconds wait, and the player plays.

Time delay while USB (and SD) mounts ( and checks media) during BOOT has always been an issue, especially with large USB drives ( > 32GB).

The OS seems to want to do some sort of media check. and the device is not READY in time for a loading Player to be able to access it.

Tried the Load player with delay .. FCC delay options may not be long enough for large USB drives ??

HONDA HACK (Rooting system for Honda Car head units) has an option for "USB Fast load" which I suspect might be a way to bypass the "Check media" delay, but that is within Honda hack, and probably relies on the system being ROOTED to be able to achieve the bypass. ?

In any case, if there was some way for FCC to deal with USB (or SD) mount delays when booting, then that would make starting the HU a loot smoother, without the need for manual intervention to get player to start palying after it has "stalled" because it cannot yet find the media.

But as far as PLAYER WIDGET operation is concerned, LOOKING the BEST it has ever been., but a little more time using this version of FCC is needed to fully evaluate the improvement.

Having a issue with notifications..someone else mentioned they had the same issue but couldn't find any reply/solution.

Basically notifications are only popping up for a split second / flashing.

Can't find any where on how to fix it.

Device is Allwinner T8
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
That means that animations are disabled on your device.

- Go to the device's Developer settings: FCC settings - System - Advanced - Developer settings (if it asks code - for AllWinner T8 it is 7890).

- Scroll down and change 3 parameters "Window animation scale", "Transition animation scale" and "Animation duration scale" from "Animation off" to "Animation scale 1x".

[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
Working MUCH better now! I would have to agree that this (Beta 3.211 in my case) is the best one yet.

Thank you very much!

*I forgot to mention that I too am having problems trying to make a call via voice. It use to work just fine. Not sure what version the problem started on, but I think it wasn't that far back. Everything is setup properly too. If I tell the assistant to call a contact in phone book, it will just want to show you a web search result.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Thanks for suggestion.

I assume that Tasker is checking, and then once Mounted & checked, loading the player ?

I would really like to be able to turn off the "media Check" that the OS does, when it Mounts external storage,

On a BIG drive (128Gig / 256 Gig) it takes for ever to check.

Maybe NTFS checks faster than Fat32, and installing a NTFS enabling APP might be a solution ??

A quick notice: version 3.212 (the latest beta) is sent to the Release channel.
[Android Head-Units] millab:
Thanks [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

In this and possibly the previous version I had a strange thing appear. I was listening to Spotify and then I opened Waze (there is a connection between these two apps) and the album art then updated to say 'Waze is Connecting' with a large spotify logo.

I think maybe the new process to get player data is including extra notifications that it shouldn't?

See attached
[Android Head-Units] millab:
-duplicated-
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
This is what I see as well happening in latest version.

Suddenly instead of Artist and Song title, I randomly see % Loading information, and other strange thing.

With a setup of quick Players :.

FM Radio --- PlackPlayer --- Spotify ---(4th Amazon Music)

At start up, (and selecting 4th player), switching between players, the artwork very often does not update.

If I clear cache & Kill all apps, then thing settle down a little.

After a few selections, mostly the Players then select their correct artwork, when selected.

If they don;t, switching to FM Radio ALWAYS selects the FM Radio Artwork, and the mostly selecting another player, will select it's correct artwork.

The FM Radio seems to act as a Reset/Force Sync function.

However -- and this may be a significant key to the problem --

Very often, when switching between players, another player's Artwork will flash up on the screen for a second, before the correct artwork shows, and sometimes the flashing up Incorrect artwork, just stays there, and it never updates to the correct one.

This is still happening in the Latest version, with the additions of sometimes, random Text, and even strange Random artwork, like a BIG "0" or other very blown up graphics.. ie scaled up so high, what displays is only a very small part, and is very fuzzy.

So latest version has not fixed the issue with Incorrect artwork showing, but has added the issue with other items showing up, for both Artwork and Text (Artist Title).

Still the issue that some 30-90 seconds are starting, FCC seems to play back a whole lot of buffered Player Changes, even if the unit is started from a boot, and no selections are made.

It it is changing by itself, - probably from some buffered / save previous commands ??

I've got FCC installed on my Allwinner T3. Is there any way to stop FCC from launching the Radio app when it boots up? I can't find anything that's checked or enabled for it to allow that to happen. Outside of this, amazing launcher!

[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

Beta 3.213

Unwanted notifications seem to have stopped.

But there is still, and has always been, an issue then switching between Quickplayers. Very often, FCC display the incorrect Players Artwork, or displays the correct one for a split seconds, and then updates again to an incorrect one.

There is a work around, always select FM Radio, before selecting a different player, but there is still inherent bug in the selection.

================

CLUE: Even if all players are closed, and notifications are cleared, and FCC is restarted, then selecting a QUickplayer for the 1st time, sometimes shows the artwork of a player that was run before the restart, and when there is not notifications for that player.

Something is getting BUFFERED in FCC ?

Also, as far as buffering there is the issue when suddenly, soon after re-start, FCC will go crazy, and start processing ghost keystrokes to select different Quick-player .-- once again , looks like it has decided to run some Historic buffered keystroke, that probably were already processed some time ago, but were never cleared out as being processed ??

This has been an issue for Months, so maybe it's time to really address this and get this sorted out. Fixing whatever is going wrong may also help fix some other related issues.

Are you not able to reproduce this on your Px5 unit, selecting quick-players. ??

At least if you can reproduce it at your end, you may be able to debug it, and find what is wrong.

If you cannot reproduce it on the Emulator, hopefully you can on your physical px5 unit, and figure out what is causing this ...

If it is unclear what I am referring to, I will make & send you a video, but you should be able to easily see it happening yourself on your Px5 unit ??

While I realize that re-selecting a new Quick-player is not something one is doing all the time, but it does show there is an underlining issue, that should be corrected, as it may well be a symptom of a more serious underlying issues.

And finally, Thank you yet again for FCC, and all the hard work you put into it.

I really cannot thank you enough .. it is really appreciated - and has totally spoiled me for even trying any other Launcher !!

I am 100% committed to FCC

On beta 3.213, I found an issue with side panel customization. I use the left side panel for app shortcuts. I did rename buttons and restart FCC to take change individually when the pop up message asks for. However, i found it does not change after restating. It was even worse that all buttons changed back to default and display as icon and default panel size when I turn off and restart my car. If need, my HU is Android 7.1 on Allwinner T3.

@SpeedFire

The launcher is great, very functional, has add-ons that can not be found in other such applications in vain. Unfortunately, something always works as it should. The most common error is the unchanging album cover, the artist's title in radio / spotify applications. generally, it irritates me more and more often and instead of focusing on driving a car, I try to restart it, to bury it in settings to work properly.

It seems to me that the reason is that the author pays too much attention to meeting all user requests. Yes, thank him for it, but it's probably a way to nowhere and it is impossible to introduce the correct operation of the "million" application.

Therefore, I suggest that the author focus on a few more important applications and the rest did not support.

Certainly should be supported: Car radio, Spotify, Tidal, some music player and that's it. And users should understand this and use an application that is supported.

PS

From what three beta versions after clicking on the cover of the album, the launcher instead of launching a specific player burns the play store with the message that something is not installed
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
I am sure that SpeedFire- is working hard on fixing the Player issues, that have haunted FCC for almost all it's existence.

If it were easy, it would have been completed a long time ago.

The more feedback as to what is not working correctly you can post the more chance there is that the matter will be corrected.

Yes, the way it does not update gets VERY Annoying, but I am sure it will be fixed, and FCC is still the BEST Launcher out there,. despite a few development issues.

According to the Log the number is successfully transferred to the FCC Launcher. The Launcher then tries to make a native call using the selected profile (v5). The rest depends on your Head Unit. Did calls ever work for you? Have you tried other profiles? Please share your BT app.
[Android Head-Units] mihaimilea2005:
This might be a stupid question, so I apologize in advance if that's the case.

Does your joycon joystick get recognized by your head unit as a second set of steering wheel buttons if you connect its receiver module to the headunit (let's say... use "key 1" wire for the real steering wheel buttons and "key 2" for the joystick) ?

I mean, without using the handmade USB interface.

Thank you!
[Android Head-Units] oskrsfl:
I do not want to answer with much text, I will try to summarize. The resistive joystick, if I connect it in key 1 key 2, the unit receives the commands through the MCU and you can only use some predefined commands that are very difficult to change. I researched, and with joycon translates the resistive commands to HID, so you can simulate for example, enter, dpad up, dpad down, back, etc, and thus really use it in Android, not only with basic commands such as vol up, vol down next track etc. That's why I thank speedfire for adding this new feature so that I can control the launcher and Android without touching the screen.

I do not know if it is possible to use two steering wheel controls at the same time, I imagine that if you have a bus in an original way and connect it to your unit by bus, leave the key 1 and key 2 cables free and you can use them with a joystick, my In this case, the steering wheel goes to a pioneer unit, I only use the Android unit for navigation, obd and traffic radars.

Compass widget

[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]: I was wondering whether you could consider a GPS-based compass widget. The compass in Torque is presented in an awkward manner (North up, resets on stopping) and the others I tried from the Play Store rely on the magnetic compass (and so are not useful for these head units). Ideally the widget will display the (approximate) heading using letters (N, NW, W, etc.) and will freeze when the car stops (so that it keeps showing the last heading). Since you already process GPS data in widgets this should not be horribly hard.

I would appreciate such a widget but realistically speaking this would be a "wash your dog first" priority...
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
I figured out the problem! I've always had FCC whitelisted and it always worked well... But, something must have changed in that area within the last few betas. I removed FCC from the whitelist and it works perfect again! What tipped me off was when you mentioned the restart FCC icon, if I used that, it would still work properly. The problem was only when coming out of sleep.

But the other main problem is the phone calls via voice control. Sometimes it will even pop up a toast that says my bluetooth is not connected, even though it is. It's always been V3 bluetooth that worked for me but I tried others just to make sure. Nothing else has changed with the unit since the last time when it worked just fine, other than FCC itself.

Here is a LogCat that hopefully captures the phone issues.

Thank you for all your help :)
