[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

Thank you for the new updates! Listing the version number is a really helpful!

just to share what i found on the player widget.

I have player 1. FM Radio 2. Poweramp 3. Pc Radio

1. when "pc radio" is selected, app will open and minimize. will prefer the previous implementation where we don't see the app starting and minimizing.

2. issue when "fm radio" is selected on widget, "fm radio" will be displayed as selection briefly and display will be back to Poweramp.

the above also happens when I switch from "poweramp" to "pc radio".

however I have found out that by switching from "pc radio" to "fm radio" the above does not occur.

I have posted the log. hope it will help!

sorry that i forgot to attach the file.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
1) PC Radio (as well as most other online players like Google Music or Pandora) needs to be started full screen once (until next wakeup or until the momen system kill this app). Then it should start in background. If it shows up every time you switches to it - then this is a bug.

2) This particular behaviour (with PowerAmp) we were fighting with during the last betas. I hoped we fixed it.

Your log will be very helpful (unfortunately I can't see it in your post).
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Ok. you were right.

Backup / restore process was broken.

Please check new beta in Play Store or here: fcclauncher-beta-2.408.apk
[Android Head-Units] sanangel:
I have his laucher in a Joying Intel Sofia and I really like it. Its self execution of applications works very well for me with Poweramp and Sygic (I love it, it's very fast).

I do not buy the paid version because in the application drawer I get more apks than they should (at least for me). I know some of them are for other device models, but I wish they did not come out in the application drawer since I will never use them.

Two more options that would make buy the premium version would be the option of being able to choose packages of icons as well as being able to customize the size of the cuddle of the application drawer (as in New Launcher).

Regards, you are going very well with your launcher.
[Android Head-Units] jun81:
I installed 2399 beta that you uploaded earlier for me. The PCradio or poweramp works fine without doing that.

or has it becomes a general rule applicable for all the players supported by the widget?
[Android Head-Units] jun81:
You have options to hide the unused apps from the app drawer!
[Android Head-Units] B3rt:
Tried it but still not working 100%.

Backup is indeed made but when i try restore it, it restores now only settings, not 1 widget or layout issue is restored on to the home screen etc..

Maybe you could take a look at it again?

Also on my Samsung tablet i have a completely other layout as in my car unit, dunno how this is possible but it seems the app is not working OK on my tablet at all, here some important differences:

- the left plane is at the bottom of the screen, doesn't matter how i hold the tablet (landscape or portret), left plane is always at bottom

- i have NO right plane at all (is not hide in settings), because i have no right plane i also do not have the mini map function and the settings button

- less important: i have stock background of stock android launcher, not the layout of the launcher as on my car unit

Still after updating to latest beta version (from store) apps are not started after waking from sleep mode in my car...

Also auto start simply does not work on all apps, it seems my car unit simply kills them after wake up or before going to sleep (not sure how this exactly works).

Please Note: i have a so called PX5 unit, it seems these units do handle sleep/wake functions completely different as the 'old' PX3 units.

In Malaysk ROM there is a app called dasaita-xposed-V-2-11 which handle these things, but it seems this is not working anymore when i use your launcher as default (i am using Malaysk rom including xposed etc).

I still have an issue where it will NOT open pandora w/ the widget. I must manually open it the first time. No other apps do this. I had sent you a log about this I believe earlier this week. I know you are inundated w/ things like this so i'm not sure how to prevent you from getting overwhelmed.

[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
So I stand with the new update. Now it opens with the widget but does not show songs or trll artist information now. before it was the other way around.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Hold your finger on empty space -> Settings -> Allow rotation (in the bottom of the list)

Does your last player autostarts by FCC on wake up?

Please show me a screenshot of your apps autostart settings.
[Android Head-Units] peleakan:
Yes. You have to create a developer account and declare a payment card but nothing should be charged.

[MENTION=1633144]speedfire[/MENTION]

Good to see you back from your break, and making further improvements to FCC.

I have not updated to the recent Alpha because the beta version I using is working well for me, and I am hesitant to update to the Alpha for the Offline maps, that I really do not need, especially as the alpha's may be a little unstable yet.

What is not clear to me is if Offline Maps are an OPTION, and if Online Maps are still supported in the way they were before Offline maps were introduced.

Typically, I am happy to use Google maps for my GPS, so seldom if ever use the FCC Minimap.

However, the two feature that do interest me a lot are

(1) Current Street

(2) Current speed limit (and hopefully soon the re-introduction of the option for audio warnings when over the speed limit)

Unfortunately, at the current time, the Street determination is a little buggy, in that it picks up side streets and roads one are crossing over, , and therefore displays invalid information.

Also the Speed limit info is not always reliable, making any over speed warning inaccurate as well.

I know I have mentioned this in the past, as have others, so I am hoping that this is something you may consider improving soon.

For me, theses are the two main current features of FCC that are not working well enough to be relied upon, and potentially could probably be significantly improved quite easily, with a little additional validation processing and filtering of the received data.

In the meantime, I am greatly enjoying driving with FCC.. after it starts, and the Music player "settles down" and catches up with past touch screen presses, the system works very well for me, and I am most pleased with it ..
[Android Head-Units] Dr. Mario:
I want to ask a question, would this launcher work with the recent Raspberry Pi computer running Android Oreo / Pie OS? I am considering rolling my own car computer as the one already installed in my truck is kind of painful to use (Allwinner T3 SOC sucks), and the Raspberry Pi 4 have gotten my attention, so I decided I will go with it.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I don't know yet how to solve this.

The app sends GPS coordinates to OpenStreetMaps and it sends back the street name and speed limit.

We need to find out a reliable algorithm to exclude those crossing streets.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I have one beta tester with a Tesla unit.

Two platforms are awaiting for integration: MTK and Tesla units (it has apk-s like com.teslacoilsw.** and com.choiceway.** - you can compare it with yours).

Currently I am finishing other tasks (offline map, then probably music widget fix), and then I will try to integrate these platforms.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
You can try. What platform does it have? x64/x86?
[Android Head-Units] Dr. Mario:
The Raspberry Pi 4 I am interested in using in my upcoming Android car computer is based on the ARM Cortex A72 processors, so ARM64 platform. I will be using the LineageOS 16.0 Pie / 17.0 Quindim built for the Raspberry Pi 4 computer so I am thinking about using this launcher to have somewhat automotive friendly interface for that DIY car computer (I will just use generic Tablet mode if I have to).
[Android Head-Units] uk.intel:
Thank you so much for the reply and sorry for the added pressure. I appreciate you may have a lot to do and these things will take time. It's just good to know it's on the agenda.

I'm more than happy to Beta test FCC on my CSN2 as and when it's ready for testing.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
My suggestion would be this:

For Street Names:

Have 2 lines

1 Current "Confirmed" Street

2 Crossing street - or possible new current street.

Each time you get a street name update:

(1) As long as the street name is the same in line 1, continue to display it, and count up a confidence level, by 1 to say a max of 5.

(2) If it is not the same as line one, then display it in line 2, and start counting up the confidence level in line 2, to a max of 5, and decrease the confidence level in the name in line 1.

(3) If at any time the confidence level in line 2, exceeds that of line 1, then line 2 is now most likely the current street, move it to line 1, and blank out the entry on line 2.

Then one should end up with the most likely confirmed current street on line 1, and and side street temporarily displaying on line 2, until such time that the line 2 street has not been seen for 5 updates, in which case it is removed.

The above might be a good starting off point. Adding distance traveled for a given street name might also be a possibility to improve accuracy, to help sort out what happens if you are stopped at an intersection for any length of time.

It depends on how often and when you request a street name for the current coordinates. maybe only request a new name after traveling a defined distance, rather than on a regular times schedule. ?

I've started the trial and enabled all 14 APIs. Still does not work...

PS: I'm surprised that a commercial product like this launcher doesn't have any FAQ and new users need to dig into hundreds page forums to get it working...

Hi SpeedFire

I have problems with the bluetooth widget, the text displays not connected, but, as you can see in the photo, the device is connected you can resolve this malfunction

thank you
[Android Head-Units] Ben.suffolk:
This seems like a reasonable algorithm to me, and it would be good to at least try it.

I assume the offline maps do not have street name data that we can use for this purpose?
[Android Head-Units] King Mustard:
Is there a way to stop the speed showing in the center?

It's extremely blurry.
[Android Head-Units] Paul1965:
I'm not at my car to test this right now, but I think if you long press on the center it brings up a menu of options.

[Android Head-Units] King Mustard:
When I press and hold, I just get the selection box, in order to resize or remove the widget.
[Android Head-Units] Paul1965:
Yeah sorry about that. I was thinking of a different launcher. Pretty sure though you should be able to go into the main settings and uncheck "show speedometer".
[Android Head-Units] ab1702:
I’ve had that problem for a long time aswell, I’ve tried all suggestions to get it working but nothing works so in the end I just deleted the Bluetooth widget as I was sick of seeing it say ‘not connected’ when it actually was connected.
[Android Head-Units] parisisal:
Finally i unistalled the beta available from playstore.

The launcher continues to go in crash randomly without any interaction by me.

During a long trip it crashes 4 times, i was only listening the radio without changing station : zero interactions.

Now i have the stable release on the play store. It works good.
[Android Head-Units] Ben.suffolk:
This is still an issue for me as well.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
I seem to recall mention when the Bluetooth Widget was first added to FCC, that there is a Technical limitation with Android Widgets detecting EXISTING Bluetooth connections, is that it cannot detect an EXISTING Bluetooth connection., but it can detect and show the Bluetooth connection if FCC is already up and running, when Bluetooth makes the connection.

Maybe try disconnecting the Bluetooth connection when FCC is up and running and displaying the NOT Connected widget status, and then re-connect Bluetooth.

In theory, the widget should update and display that you have a Bluetooth connection.

I believe it is an Android Widget limitation, to do with the way widgets work, and not a FCC programming issue. ?????

If I remember correctly, the API key is needed only if you want to have guidance in the minimap itself.
[Android Head-Units] 007matman:
What do I need to do to get the time to appear correctly (12h format)?

I have attempted to set it up properly in the settings but it still displays in 24H format.

For some reason I cannot upload a photo.

FCC settings under "System" and "Date and time" show "use network provided time", time zone eastern, Automatic 24-hr time is on and use 24 hour format= off.

I've Also tried to turn off network provided time as well as turning automatic 24hr time off and have had no change.

Hi guys, my apologies if this has been answered but I couldn't find the answer. Can we build in the functionally to have a different wallpaper on different screens? I can't seem to find that option, it may not exist. I use the wallpaper to section off my home screen, so it doesn't lend itself well to my second and third screens. Cheers!
[Android Head-Units] SoberXDA:
Thank you! I've managed to get the navigation working on minimap using google maps as provider.

BUT...

Each time my unit wakes from sleep (ignition key on), the minimap freezes. Will not show me my current location nor navigate (voice commands are recognized but nothing happens). Speed readout and speed limit are being updated correctly.

The solution is to restart the launcher.

Any ideas?

I had to reset my FCC install as something had gone wrong somewhere. When I set it back up I noticed the attached screen again and this prompted my question a while ago about what I should be selecting for a Sofia 3GR. Can someone give me a definite answer as otherwise it’s not obvious which option I should choose - and I’m a programmer!

Hi guys, I'm not sure if the process so I think I just ask questions directly to the board? I've bought the pro version to support the developer, I think it's a great effort. However I've thing I can't work out. I have created my own widgets for my audio players and I was hoping to use the built in media player for my radio, but I can't get it to function. I have set the radio names, and the back and forward icons go through the stations, however in no place does it show the radio names or frequency on the widget. It also shows the info from my Spotify for some reason, even though it's set as only radio. See attached image, can anybody help?

My head unit is an Atoto.

[Android Head-Units] SoberXDA:
I can try, but how do I hide it?

Another thing I noticed is that there is something wrong with the zoom level. Sometimes it starts extremally zoomed out and when I try to zoom it in while driving it zooms out immediatelly (probably due to buggy implementation of autozoom option). I need to click zoomin really quick to fool it.

While I was driving today I went a different route than suggested. The minimap did not recalculate/adapt to the new route.

I'd really like to see this launcher more stable and predictible instead od new features like offline maps...

PS: is there an option to see the ETA in minimap? Its quite crucial info when navigating...
[Android Head-Units] 007matman:
Anyone experience this issue?

I paid to support the developer.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
I have created my own widgets for my audio players

Not sure what that really means -- did you really create Android Widgets yourself to support you chosen players ??

My 1st thought when reading about your problem, is that maybe FCC is confused, and thinks you have selected SPOTIFY, but in fact, you have forced your own Music Player to run, and FCC does not know this. ??

I would try setting one of the FCC quickplayers to call up your Music player, and another FCC quickplayer setting to call up Spotify.

The running FCC, switch between the two FCC Quickplayers, and see what happens... In theory, this should ensure that FCC is aware of what player it is meant to be looking at.

Also, if FCC does not have your particular Music Player selectable as a Quickplayer, this might be the root of your problem, in which case you might want to ask SpeedFire to add that Music Player to FCC known Players.

You might need to send him the Music Player program, so he can make sure that FCC can read the players Song & Artist info etc.

Out of interest, what Music Player are you trying to use ???
[Android Head-Units] peleakan:
You can hide/show the map using an icon on the right side of the screen. You have to select this right menu in the option.

Regarding your zooming issue, I have exactly the same behavior. If you don't touch anything while driving, it reacts correctly according to car speed. But if you try to change the zoom by pinching in/out, it starts to diverge and you get satellized, having the map displaying almost the whole planet...
[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
Thanks for getting back to me! I used KWGT to create a widget that solely runs my Spotify. I want to use the built in player in FCC to solely run my FM tuner. But even when I set the FCC player to just use the tuner it shows Spotify art and title but the controls cycle through my FM tuner but display no reference to it. I was using the built in FCC widget for music and radio I think it was called. I basically just want a widget the allows me to control the fm radio only.
[Android Head-Units] SoberXDA:
Tried that. No effect. Restart of the launcher is the only solution right now to get the minimap working again...
[Android Head-Units] ansan95:
I have the same problem with the same device. The problem is that FCC doesn't support the radio app of atoto OS. Infact in list of player there are 'radio' as supported player and 'Radio' as normal application. The radio player of Atoto is the second one 'Radio'. There is no way to get it working with FCC. I think SpeedFire needs the apk of the application to add the support. You also can't use an alternative radio player because it won't work on the hw of atoto unit. However i read some time ago that he is at work to support the CPU of atoto units.
[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
Thanks for the info, I'm glad so I don't have to struggle on with it anymore trying to solve it. It's a shame, hopefully a fix sooner rather than later!

I'd be happy to do that, but I don't know how I would get the APK extracted from my system. Would I just run an extractor app to retrieve it?
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Yes, very simple ( does not require ROOT etc).. extract the APK (it will be in a single file), and let [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] know you have it available in case he needs it to figure out the "fix"

[MENTION=9992725]007matman[/MENTION]

There is no special club here.

Developer is a single person and most of us paid for the app and you need patience as the app is still being developed. Most of us here are still try to help the developer to better the app.

Regarding your qn. I believe you are not looking in depth in enough on your own. If you have read or search this post, i believe you are accessing the android settings. Not the launcher setting, as developer had merge system settings into fcc settings.

To set 24hrs or 12hrs is under fcc settings>system

Try and update us. Enjoy ur stay here

Lastly there are few versions at one time. The official and the betas. Do let people know which version you are running. I never had issues with displaying time with any versions as of now.

great, i'll do that when i get back to the car using an app i found on the store, see if it works :).

I wonder if a page that is updated by the dev and a few moderators only that shows instructions on basic tasks or answers to common questions would be a good idea? 300-odd pages is a bit much to trawl for answers, and questions you ask can get lost. For example i have a few questions for future updates that i would like to ask but i fear they would get lost.

FCC Crach with TPMS integration

Hi SpeedFire,

I install the last beta from google playstore on my dasaita unit (Android 9) and try the tpms integration.

This is the USB TPMS I havehttps://fr.aliexpress.com/item/33009256344.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.3da26c37yvG5NX.

FCC crash at every start till I remove the USB TPMS unit and uncheck tpms integration.

The app included into FCC is very similar to the one I use (The working App I use is here w ww.realmediashop.de//FIRMWARE/10TPMS.apk).

This App is also working with my tpms unithttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tpms3&hl=fr

Hope you could find and solve the problem, FCC is a great launcher

N.B. : I also try with my old android 7 tablet and FCC crash in the same way

Thanks
