@SpeedFire- Woohoo, that's great! :cool: Congratulations for the approval! 🥂

I really like the more modern and pro style of the FG Compass Widget settings, so if you could do this for FCC Launcher too, this would be great. But only if it's not too much of a hassle to implement.

Feature-wise I currently only have one small wish (which is important for me): Could you please add an option to the FCC Player widget to disable the scrolling of the artist and title text fields?

Problem with the scrolling is that it stutters (= resets) each time when the progress bar is updated, but also when the album artwork is updated by DAB-Z, so even disabling the progress bar is not enough as a workaround.

The stuttering is very disturbing and I would prefer instead to have the text just being cut off on the right side. I know that - the way widgets work - you cannot fix the scrolling itself.

Keep up (respectively pick up again) the good work. It's great that you are here again! :)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Please also test the latest beta on a beta-channel. Do you see any major bugs?

I plan to push it to the release channel if it is OK.
[Android Head-Units] okij:
@SpeedFire-: I have been using Fcc Launcher 3.440_test16 for the last couple of months and it has been working very well for me.

Is there a newer version on beta channel? I'm not subscribed to it because I prefer downloading the latest versions here on this thread and installing them via USB stick (because mobile data reception is very bad in my underground parking place).

Could you please post a Google Drive link of the latest beta here in case it's newer than 3.440_test16?
[Android Head-Units] bajoseph04:
Yes, I have the FCC on my phone just to look for any new updates and I see one today. I'm on the play store beta channel. Will install it on the headunit and report back today.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Here is the latest beta (available in beta channel of Play Store): fcclauncher-3.442
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Thanks! What are the changes after last stable release or after 3.440_test16?
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
In Google Play nothing is remarked, only "Bug fixes". It´s the 3.442 now.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Nothing significant:

- Fix of a bug when the trip data was not reset every day

- A screen with explanations for location data collection was added to the initial setup wizard. This was required to pass the Google Play review.

- "Settings" and "Apps" labels should be localised now after the initial setup.

- Privacy policy link was added to the About menu
[Android Head-Units] okij:
In this case - from my point of view - you can safely release 3.442 to the public. :)

Yesterday I installed 3.442 and tested it for only 5-10 minutes, without problems.

But as I already wrote, I have been using Fcc Launcher 3.440_test16 for the last couple of months and it has been working very well for me (PX5 MTCE head unit). Since there are no big changes which could have introduced new bugs, 3.442 should be fine too! (y)
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Same result on my side testing the 3.442.

I did not find any regressions to the previous 3.440 (16) in an overnight test after micro-soldering of a defect PX6 I buyed some days ago for 20 bucks.

This morning the unit was still working fine on some test scripts.

Hi friends,

I read the thread, but didn't find an answer (or I missed it):

Which device type should I use for my new Joying headunit? It's an octacore UIS7862 unit (JY-UQ135N4G): https://www.joyingauto.eu/joying-android-10-double-din-head-unit-replacement-7-inch-dsp-radio.html
[Android Head-Units] Ericang:
Hello @SpeedFire-

Thank you for your contribution in making this wonderful launcher. I am a proud owner of the paid version of your launcher and i am loving it.

I know that you have abandon split screen, but i really enjoy the split screen function.

Can i ask if you could help me do some little modification on the split screen version that allow the left panel to add widgets eg. Clock, distance etc etc so when i scroll to other page, i m still able to read the details from the widget.

This is what i have done so far
[Android Head-Units] dape16:
I have been running the latest beta from Play Store since it was released last week, and I have not experienced any obvious bugs. It seems as stable as the 3.440 (16) version. I am really excited to see @SpeedFire- back here.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Joying devices are difficult to deeply integrate.

The launcher suggests the best device type for your head unit. If it suggested Android Phone/Tablet then this device is not integrated.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Good suggested. I already tried to do this once but faced some issues. I will try again later.
[Android Head-Units] RealZac:
Thank you! I'll try Rockchip. ;)

Btw.: I'm a proud owner of the paid version, too. Good job! Sexy launcher. :)
[Android Head-Units] sbruda:
I too found no regression from the previous versions.

However, I would like to note that backups to the local SD card do not work (and have not worked in awhile). Is there any trick I am missing? Backups produced by third-party tools (such as TitaniumBackup or MyBackup) work but not perfectly so I would really love the possibility to back up setting from within the app itself. What s frustrating is that local backups used to work, in fact my recovery strategy right now is to restore a rather old backup and then change the layout to my current one. This is all time consuming and frustrating.

Other than this, I am very happy to see development being restarted on this launcher, it is hands down the best one for this kind of devices. Great Job! :) I do look forward to any deeper CSN2 integration you happen to implement in the future, right now many integration things do not work (most interesting to me would be hiding the app name and button binding), still a decent integration but could definitely be better. ;)
[Android Head-Units] seppen:
On my Pumpkin PX6 AA0584B-B01 it's not possible to save the settings.

Neither on SD nor on google drive.

I have tried it with 3.440 and 3.442

What should I do to save settings?
[Android Head-Units] RealZac:
For me local backup / to sd card doesn't work, but no matter. Backup to Google Drive works here - that's fine for me. Oh, I'm on the beta.
[Android Head-Units] d33mon533d:
Anyone else have issues with the native OBD widgets in FCC? They used to work flawlessly for me; was able to monitor everything from RPM to short term and long term fuel trims, vacuum/boost, throttle position, timing, MAF, temps... etc.. Not sure which version of the app I had, but I hadn't connected my HU to internet for a while, when I did, FCC was updated and now none of the widgets work.

They all just display "- - -" for each one. If I go into the widget settings (any one I have) and tick off all the boxes for "live data", the widgets will work and all update for about 5 seconds and then just stop. reloading just returns the widgets to the "- - -" state. MY OBD adapter is working , as it works with all apps I try, Bluetooth is fine, and adapter is found and paired no problem. not a hardware issue on my end, and I've tried just about everything, including a full reset and return to stock rom on HU. whatever version I had before that was working perfect is obviously gone from play store and I'm stuck with latest version...

Paid for PREMIUM for this app for THIS specific reason and now it's dead. Any fix for this? (unless one has already been listed; thread is long and I haven't read through it all)

thanks...

*EDIT* Nevermind... I found a workaround myself, although an update to the app is needed; to address the OBD WIDGET values being able to be SAVED when you check off the "Live data" boxes. They don't stick when backing out of the menu and there is NO SAVE option, and if you add an additional widget, they get reset to all off again... leaving you with no live display on ANY of the prior widgets you already had set up and working. They should all be DEFAULTED to "ON", but no... instead, all defaulted to "OFF"...
[Android Head-Units] buffaloquinn:
Did you accomplish this within FCC itself or are you running Android's split screen with Maps running on the right and FCC on the left?
[Android Head-Units] Ericang:
i am running on split screen

map on the right, fcc on the left
[Android Head-Units] buffaloquinn:
What is the benefit of doing it split screen as opposed to using the FCC Home screen with the map built in?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Guys!

It seems that I've found the best solution for Normal / Split-Screen modes. Take a look:

Here is a short demo of two modes in the alpha version:

1) Normal mode - launcher does not support split screen (bad) but behaves as a normal launcher and is not visible in the list of recent apps (good).

2) Split screen mode - launcher supports 50/50 multi window mode (good) but is visible in the list of recent apps (bad).

Every user can select the preferred mode!
[Android Head-Units] Ericang:
Nice !
[Android Head-Units] Ericang:
I use waze instead of google map.

The built in map has no navigation. where else the split screen can provide turn by turn navigation

also i can watch video together with the map running side by side
[Android Head-Units] Ericang:
hope to hear from you soon
[Android Head-Units] Zer7:
Hello Speedfire. I have a TS9 based on Android 8 (modded to show that it is Android 10) with an Octa core based on SP9853i.

Seems that most of the things works well with FCC Launcher if I select "AllWinner", but by default it select tablet/phone. It is right?

Steering wheel controls works well and others things seems to work fine too.
[Android Head-Units] buffaloquinn:
I have an ATOTO S8 which uses that same chipset and it chooses tablet by default also. I ran into issues when I switched FCC to another headunit I thought was a good fit. If there isn't a specific hardware issue in FCC that makes you think it's not a good choice, you should probably leave it as is, IMHO.
[Android Head-Units] Zer7:
As far as I remember, if I select phone/tablet the steering wheel controls don't work with third party apps like Poweramp and others...

Hope Speedfire can add better support for our chip.
[Android Head-Units] herobkse:
Hi SpeedFire-,

Did you release the v3.442 on playstore? I find the current version is still v3.440 but the last update were 09 Mars 2021.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Yes it is released (to a Release channel).

But something is odd. I see that the 3.442 is successfully released in my Control Panel. However Google Play Store page says that it is still 3.440 (I think here is some bug on this page). Could some check what version do they have? (in the About menu of Fcc Settings).

Update: OK. It turned out that it was rolled out to 20% of all users. Now I've changed it to 100%.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Here is a test version. If someone wants to test switching between Normal and Split screen mode:

fcclauncher-3.442_test1.apk

Please give feedback
[Android Head-Units] ric69:
Hi,

Someone has an idea to make Fcc dialer working with last Google version ? (MTCDialer is not working either)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
What exactly happens? Do you have a LogCat log?
[Android Head-Units] ric69:
It's not really a bug , Google don't purpose anymore a dialer app.

Look this thread page 138 : https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-px5-px6...mtcd-e-head-units-with-android-9-8-6.4046361/

[Android Head-Units] okij:
This morning I tested the non-split behaviour and can confirm that it's working as in v3.442 before. (y)

Since I don't use split screen function, I leave the testing for this to other users.

However, there's one thing about the test version which I don't like: The built-in compass widget is missing. :oops: I hope that you don't plan to take it out of FCC Launcher in favour of FG Compass Widget. As you know, I even bought the full version of FG Compass Widget to support you, but nonetheless I prefer the built-in compass widget for two reasons: 1. It doesn't need a notification to work and 2. it doesn't use extra resources, since it's not a separate app.

So if you removed the built-in compass widget on purpose, please put it back for your long-time users! If you want to, you can add a check if the full version of FG Compass Widget is installed and only then allow the built-in compass widget to be used (so you still can earn money with the compass functionality), but in any case, please put it back. :)

Besides this, in FG Compass Widget there is an error in the German labeling of the compass rose: Currently it's showing N-E-S-O, but it must be N-O-S-W, as the German directions are named "Norden", "Osten", "Süden" and "Westen". Please fix.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
This type of bugs is really important.

1) Do you have a root? Can you record a LogCat log as described in the first post?

2) Can you please try to re-assign the Home app?

Go to Fcc Settings -> System -> Home App and select Fcc Launcher once again.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Yes, I plan to integrate FG Compass Widget in Fcc Launcher. Currently I am switching to the new widgets settings menu which is a lot of work but this is important in long term. When this is done this advanced compass widget will be available for premium users of Fcc Launcher.
[Android Head-Units] Ericang:
Sorry, i do not have a root

I did the setting as your described , its still the same.

ps. if you are free, maybe you can PM me how do you actually root the system.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Root is individual for every device. It is required to read a specific forum for your device. So don't worry.

Maybe someone else with a root will face the same issue.
[Android Head-Units] okij:
OK, very cool! :cool:

Did you have a look at this small feature request which I posted two weeks ago?

Is this possible (I think it should be) and will you implement it?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Currently this is not possible. But when I'll switch to the new widgets / settings approach it should be possible. Remind me.
[Android Head-Units] Ericang:
i am unable to roll back to the previous working version.

Does it mean i have to uninstall and reinstall again ?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
You can install release version on top of alpha

Release: 3.442-release

Alpha: 3.442-alpha
[Android Head-Units] Ericang:
is this the split screen version ?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Release - is not split-screen (Normal only)

Alpha - is Normal / Split-screen compatible
[Android Head-Units] buffaloquinn:
I have been having into an issue when I use navigation. If I ask Google maps to go to a destination, it sets up the route and starts navigation in a full screen map. Unfortunately this seems to wipe out the mini map in the home screen. Any idea what is causing this behaviour?
[Android Head-Units] Ericang:
The left panel app icon.

Is there anyway to make them bigger??

I tried to add text N change icon pic, but then it will just revert back to default.
[Android Head-Units] RealZac:
Hi, I am not able to download Mapbox offline maps. After selecting the desired country FCC tells me "Unable to create file" (analogously).

Where does FCC (or Mapbox) want to store zhe maps? Maybe I should create a specific folder before. Or is it maybe a general permission problem?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
It looks like there was an error in the path.

In your current version you may download the map to /sdcard/Download/Download/Fcc_Launcher/MBTiles/ (so yes double Download in the path).

Or you can try this fixed version (I don't know if it will work for you instantly or not). The fixed path here (and in the next versions) is

/sdcard/Download/Fcc_Launcher/MBTiles/

fcclauncher-3.442_test2.apk
[Android Head-Units] RealZac:
Thanks, I installed it, first try looked good - it created some folders. But because of insufficient 4 G connection I have to test the download later. (y)

One thing I noticed: Somehow the test2 version isn't able to correctly register as home app. I set is as home app, but pressing the home button brings the old launcher to foreground/focus.
[Android Head-Units] RealZac:
I tested - download doesn't work with the test2. So I am back to Beta and home app behaviour is ok again. I think I will download the map(s) on my Mac.
[Android Head-Units] RealZac:
Hmm, MBTiles is now maptiler.com. Maybe that's why the download from fcc fails?

Which is the correct one for German? The OpenStreetMap vector tiles?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
OpenStreetMap vector tiles is the preferred option. But you can download any, even raster map.
[Android Head-Units] sousa_2005:
hi @SpeedFire-

I love your launcher but...

very strange thing happening to me:

Fcc radio frequencies, doesn't not match the original from FM radio app...

for example, FM radio says: 91.20 and FCC shows 256.82...

do you know what could it be?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
What device do you have?

Can you record a Log Cat log (see first post)?
[Android Head-Units] sousa_2005:
ok, I will try.

I have a yt9217b..

Hi,

I put the file into /sdcard/Download/Download/Fcc_Launcher/MBTiles/ - doesn't work. I tried:

/sdcard/Download/Download/FccLauncher/MBTiles/

/sdcard/Download/Fcc_Launcher/MBTiles/

/sdcard/Download/FccLauncher/MBTiles/

None of the worked. :( I tried this on the internal storage and on the sdcard (sdcard0).

What did I miss? Do I have to rename the file?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
How do you understand that it's not working?

I just checked on my test device (and release 3.442 version) all works fine with downloading and opening the map.

What Android OS version do you have? On 10+ there could be potentially some issues, but as far as I tested it worked well too.
[Android Head-Units] RealZac:
When I go to the screen with the Mapbox map it says "Please download offline map". And when I open the map prefs under "installed map" there is none.

When I click download -> download later it tells me to download it on the PC and put it into the folder Download/Fcc_Launcher/MBTiles/

So I thougt it doesn't realize the downloaded and copied map.

Yes, it's an Android 10 unit. Maybe that's the problem.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
@SpeedFire-

here´s some bug report from me.

Precondition:

Head unit running on Android 10

CSN2

Unit is rooted

Fcc Version: 3.442_test1

Fcc set to be used in split screen

Tasker button with script used to toggle split screen, show page 3 of Fcc and open TomTom on right side of the split screen and show page 2 on toggling to full screen mode.

Action:

Start unit

Wait until Fcc is up and running in foreground

Use Tasker button to split screen

Observed behavior:

Fcc is crashing and restarted before the split screen is up

Page 3 is not visible, instead page 2 is shown

Same behavior when switching back to full screen mode.

As I found out, it seems to be related to switching Fcc pages with Tasker.

Expected behavior:

As I use a special page for the split screen, I would like to use a not crashing page switch.

Healing:

Removing any page switches in Tasker. Seems that the page switch is buggy in Fcc.

After removing the page switches, the split is working great... just with the wrong page.

Log file attached. PW to unzip the file will be sent by PM.

How can I make any of the players appear in the center circle? I can only control in the Spotify center, when I choose the native player or the radio I cannot control them in the circular central widget, neither the title nor the radio station appear. I have paid for the premium version but it has things to improve. Thanks for the help.

View attachment 5254481
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Yes there are things to improve, but afaik not the things you are talking about.

The internal radio and mostly the internal player do not provide the information to be used outside of their own applications.

Only if you see any information in the notification bar (title, radio station) it would be possible to get it working.

By the way... you can add radio station and station logo in Fcc settings.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
It depends on your device. To get this data device should be "deeply integrated" as I call it because this data is not easily available. Not all devices are deeply integrated. You can find the approximate list in the app description in Play Store.

That happened to me one time, most likely after a period of poor GPS signal (though that might have been a correlation rather than causation). One way or another what worked for me was to force stop Fcc followed by clearing the cache.
