[Android Head-Units] bossman4:
Congratulations on the progress of FCC Launcher. The integration of various versions of Android radios, various apps and FCC customization features presents a real challenge to those that try.

I recently have had a little bit of focused time to play with my PX5 Eonon radio and the .22 version (not alpha). Some of these issues are self induced, others induced by complexity. So here are some of the hints that I think would help the less experienced.

Be sure the time zone on your radio is set correctly. Set it manually and then turn on auto. This makes a big difference in the timing of screen brightness in a convertible with the top down.

Once you can see better, then it is easier to change things on the screen.

There is multiple page capability (using up and down swipes). Due to my setup I have 3 pages. Large clock on Page 1, standard FCC fancy menu on Page 2 and an upsized player widget player on page 3. As I am driving and listening to music, the large buttons and icons on page 3 let your fingers find the right place in a convertible on a 7" screen.

The three audio programs that I have on page 3 are Poweramp, Spotify and FM (a podcast service). Poweramp is playing on a usb stick and the other two programs allow downloaded content.

I have put a delay of about 10 seconds for the startup of the audio programs (FCC option) because.....When I start up the car in the garage, I am in range of my wifi router. It takes awhile for the radio to get a wifi signal and various other items to get sorted out in the radio. So far this seems to be very important for Spotify and FM Podcast to link up to the internet even though the podcasts and the albums are already downloaded on the radio. I am almost thinking that the applications (Spotify, FM podcast) have to be cycled initially to satisfy the internet gods. Once they are cycled, the car is good to move out. The button switching on page 3 works smoothly once I am out of wifi range and using the downloaded material. Mind you I am not now running a hotspot with my phone at this time. The 10 second delay stops the Poweramp from starting up (1 second of music)and then going silent as other Android wheels are turning.

I had problems with syncing google contacts on this Eonon radio. I identified an APK that helped that situation, but it took a lot of fumbling to push the right buttons after the APK installation to get the contacts to sync.

On to Bluetooth, phones and hotspot to see if that helps the integration.

Waiting anxiously for the next Beta. I think I am getting the self induced bugs of my implementation out of the way...…..

YouTube was a problem when I was stopped or driving. Could not get the video to show. Found the switch in FCC (I think) to allow viewing all the time. Now it works while I am sitting in the garage.

So now I can see the three screens and I know what is on them. If I start up slow in the morning, it looks like all the music programs should get fired up correctly. There is some hesitation in switching between the programs if things don't start up right top begin with, but I attribute that to the fire up sequence of Spotify and FM podcast.

I am now on to repeatability tests to prove out if I have got the sequence worked out.
