New issues for me, but read about them here. Home button doesn't make the app reload but it does cut sound from NaviRadio. Randomly now the HU which is MTCE running 4.2.1 and t21 will boot either to I-Bus or the stock music app. Note, Hal9k mod manager is set to replace Music with PowerAmp etc. Another issue I seem to be getting now more frequently than ever is the map. When I click hide, it says hidden but remains visible always. Minor issues as I can set the HU of on radio for example and leave it alone.
[Android Head-Units] sarruma:
This is an amazing launcher! As everyone states, it's getting better and better! Well done to the developer, your efforts are greatly appreciated!

A small request: would it be possible to publish your desktop icon pack? No matter how hard I try to find something similar, I cannot find icons that fit among the lines of your recently introduced skin. Any suggestion about this?

Also, could we get the skin lines in different colors, eg, orange in my case?

Thank you so much in advanve and happy new year!

Hey [MENTION=1633144]speedfire[/MENTION]

Some notice :silly:

The widget list (when pressing button add widget )

*Some icons are big some are small.

*some widgets are almost the same. Like MODE and ICON maybe make this the same .

I prefer to make ONE or TWO multi widgets where al icon / navlink / contact/ shortcut comes together. And one media widget.

I noticed this because I.m a long term user now. And found some new things today. So I think it's not really clear how powerful this launcher is . When creating one or two multi widgets and scrolling to the list it's more clear :)

Btw it's not an attack on you .
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
This is not 'just' a wallpaper. This is a SKIN.

Here is a quick demo how to use it:

http://gph.is/2AD4J13

As you can see Skin (blue lines) and Wallpaper work together. You can separately change them and you can use your own skin (select Custom skin).
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
This is not the problem of icons sizes. You need to change your grid to something like 6 (rows) x 7 (columns) or 6 x 9:

Regarding colors: I will try to introduce this setting later.
[Android Head-Units] sanangel:
Yes I know. I have been working for a while now and I really like a skin like yours, the only thing is that I wanted a wallpaper similar to the one you used, but changing the colors in red.

The truth is that this launcher is getting better and better, thanks for his hard work.

EDIT:

I apologize, I've seen that the skin is one thing and the wallpaper is another ... I'm sorry, I apologize.

I do not know how to get a skin like yours but red ...
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Here is a new beta.

In today's version: Navigation on Minimap (kind of)

- [New] Navigation on MiniMap! You need to add NaviWidget and select in navigator's list MiniMap as a navigator.

A short demo:

Very thanks to you!!!!
[Android Head-Units] voltage2342:
Love it!

First of all: Read of FCC, tried it for 5 mins, immediatly bought it.

Finally this launcher makes my Pumpkin 7.1 behave like a head unit should behave! Really great work!

Some small suggestions for issues i've noticed when building my favorite home screen:

- Speedometer: Uppercases the secondary text - i think it should be displayed as written in settings.

- Speedometer: When there is no speed limit the speed is still colored - should be in standard color when there is no speed limit known.

- Speedometer: Would be nice to switch it to analog mode (like analog/digital clock).

- Speed limit widget: Would be nice to configure some margin of the inner content. If you have another widget nearby it looks squeezed.

- Autostart: When FCC launcher restarts and there is autostart app already running FCC seems to start it again.

- Music widget: Would be nice to have RDS text displayed if FM Radio is playing.

Also a weather widget would be really nice. I like the simple look of the FCC widgets and did not find any weather widget which fits into FCC widgets design.

Thanks!

Keep up the good work!
[Android Head-Units] Petesky:
Why all the Gifs, can you not just do a video of your app in action and post it on youtube or something
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Good point. I will do, once most of the planned features are done and we release beta. Gifs are for quicker explanations to beta testers.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I will comment here:

- Speedometer: Uppercases the secondary text - i think it should be displayed as written in settings.

FIXED

- Speedometer: When there is no speed limit the speed is still colored - should be in standard color when there is no speed limit known.

FIXED

- Speedometer: Would be nice to switch it to analog mode (like analog/digital clock).

Hard to do, because widgets could not be updated too frequently and 1 update per second will look as a lag. But I'm thinking about it.

- Speed limit widget: Would be nice to configure some margin of the inner content. If you have another widget nearby it looks squeezed.

FIXED. Not adjustable by user but I have added some small padding.

- Autostart: When FCC launcher restarts and there is autostart app already running FCC seems to start it again.

FIXED. But needs testing.

- Music widget: Would be nice to have RDS text displayed if FM Radio is playing.

I haven't found a quick way to get RDS data from MCU. If you know any third party app or module which gets/shows RDS data - please send me.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
New beta:

- Skin color can be changed to your color (e.g. blue stripes can become red stripes).

- You can change color of Icons in IconWidget (apply color filter)

- Various fixes from the post above
[Android Head-Units] voltage2342:
I will try changes tonight ...

Thanks ! I will try changes tonight ...

My idea would be to do smooth animation from one gauge needle position to another. This way the needle would not flip around :)

As far as i know RemoteView widgets support (limited) animations. Dont know if it's possible i'm .NET developer .. not Android :)

If you want i can try to decompile my stock FM radio player which shows RDS :) Maybe this will help.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
1) Not this kind of animations as far as I know. If you have such info - please send me.

2) Would be nice. But probably it gets data by some direct native command from MCU. I haven't seen any broadcasts or something similar with RDS data.
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
I have problems with the image I can get it good
[Android Head-Units] sanangel:
I don't have that problem, in my case it looks very good.

In the settings of the widget check that you do not have darken cover or something similar (I do not remember now, I'm not in my car to see how it is written exactly)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Nice. First attempt to make custom skin!

In your case you need to:

- Modify the image so it corresponds to the grid

- Modify launcher's grid (choose more columns) in settings
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
Yes made it good.

The center ring is outstanding for the crappie images from PC Radio . See images I have the empty template for the one who whant to use it.

Maybe stupid but I gonna try. Is it possible to have a widget above a other widget ? Maybe with a exstra layer? So I can put a weather/ Speedo meter into the silver circle?
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Test22

Player widget still shows the previous albumart
[Android Head-Units] okij:
I installed test22 today and it's working quite well, but it shows FCC in recent apps which is a real deal breaker. :( The poll was clear about this: 70.2 % of the users voted for a normal launcher which is not visible in recent apps. So please fix this issue or - if you cannot fix it - at least release a non-splitscreen version in parallel.

One question about test22: I could add the new Compass widget and edit its settings, but it's not visible. Is it possible that the new Compass widget isn't fully implemented yet?

For now I reverted to the release version 3.442 without split-screen support until the recent apps issue will be fixed.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Compass widget is in the works. Will be similar to the FG Compass Widget

What is your Android OS version?
[Android Head-Units] okij:
OK, thanks.

I'm using Android 9 (Hal9k Mod 4.2.1).
[Android Head-Units] alexandro975:
good evening, i bought the premium version, congratulations for the work done fcc car launcher is the best. just a kindness is it possible to have a widget that shows a car where it interfaces with the parking sensors? for me it would be the best. thank you
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Sorry for this post as it is OUT OF CONTEXT TOTALLY comment but:

I'm looking for someone who can develop an apk that reads incoming usb to RS32 data from! WITMOTION sensor and spread it among all the apps, I need to integrate accelerometer, gyro and other thing to this chinese cheap headunits
[Android Head-Units] firstbob:
Just curious, what use do you have for accel, gyro, etc in the car?
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Headunit doesn't know where is pointing when car isn't on movement, as there are no gyro, HU only recognizes his directionw when car in movement and GPS data is incoming

And I'd like to use the compass widget with accuracy !
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Guys,

I really hope that I've found the ideal solution for all

Here is a test23 version.

Split screen mode is enabled/disabled via a checkbox in Fcc Settings - System - Run in split screen mode (the top line).

If you disable split screen you may need to remove the launcher from recent apps overview once. Then it should not appear.

This should also work on Android 10+

Please test!

fcclauncher-3.442_test23.apk
[Android Head-Units] firstbob:
Did you see their github? https://github.com/WITMOTION

EDIT: probably could be combined with: https://github.com/Frazew/VirtualSensor
[Android Head-Units] 2ndjobmoney:
I also Compass widget not visible in test 22 and 23 version.

I am using Android 8.1
[Android Head-Units] pepiho:
I tried the test22 version. Backup works both to SD and Google drive :-) The backup is created in the folder ..\download\Fcc_Launcher_Backup , but the restore is from the folder ...\download\Fcc_Launcher\Backups .

I always must copy the backup files for the restore to work.

The restore from Drive goes fine.

Thank you for fixing the backup.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Are you sure? Restore should search for all fccbackup files in the \download\ folder (including all subfolders)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Yes. Compass is not yet ready
[Android Head-Units] pepiho:
Yes, I'm sure. The restore only works after the backup files have been copied.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
ALso did the test, same behaviour for me with V test23
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Thanks a lot, this is much better. (y)

I can confirm that it's generally working (tested on Android 9 Hal9k v4.2.1), but it's not perfect yet: The problem is that the launcher has not only to be removed once from recets apps, but each time that FCC Launcher is started, e.g. after a reboot.

Could you please also fix this last issue? Then it would be perfect for users who don't use split screen (which should be the mayority of users).

One other thing I noticed is that the Mode widget is currently not working, so when choosing it and trying to set it up, FCC reboots and the widget isn't placed. Is the Mode widget not fully implemented in test23?

On the positive side, I have noticed that the scrolling in the Player widget now is working in a loop without interruptions (as long as the progress bar isn't activated.)

Keep up the good work. :)
[Android Head-Units] okij:
@SpeedFire-: Actually it's not too bad for me because I have configured Hak9k Mod4 to keep FCC Launcher in memory during standby (car ignition off), so it's not reloaded and not put into recent apps again.

But on stock roms there is no option to keep FCC Launcher in memory during standby, therefore it will be put into recent apps each time when starting the car.

I can live with the current solution in test23 (congratulations for it!), but if possible it would be great if you could further improve it. 🤞

I will stay on test23 for now. I also like the new GPS Satellite Count widget where it's now possible to change the layout. :cool: Thanks a lot!
[Android Head-Units] carisma2001:
I cant find a Download link.

Where Can i find IT?
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Here
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Here is a new alpha: fcclauncher-3.442_test24.apk

1) For Android 9 and lower normal / split-screen selection will be as before (two different home apps in selector). For Android 10+ the new option (split-screen is selected via check box in settings).

2) I've completed most the most part of the work on a Compass widget. You can check it now! Please report about any issues.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Hey @SpeedFire- hope you're doing well

Tell me did you have time to check the albumart problem ? (sowing previous listened song ?)
[Android Head-Units] buffaloquinn:
I just installed the v23 update and it went mostly well. Unfortunately all of my contact widgets lost their links, so I had to redo them which was a bit of a pain. Would this problem be avoided with a backup and restore or do the widget links just not survive updates?
[Android Head-Units] lordsolrac2:
Question; are there any plans to add support for OSMAnd(+/~) or Magic Earth for Navigation?
[Android Head-Units] Jenson_P:
Maybe another small feature request: Would support for RadioDroid 2 and Transistor be possible? Currently it seems FCC doesn't recognize them as audio players. Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Thanks a lot, with test24 for me the normal vs split screen issues seem to be fixed now! :cool:(y)

I tested it on my Android 9 (Hal9k Mod 4.2.1) head unit and chose normal (non-split screen) FCC Launcher on 1st start.

I never had FCC Launcher in recent apps and I only had to re-select normal FCC Launcher after FCC force closed (see below). After rebooting the head unit or after manually restarting FCC launcher the launcher selection dialogue is not shown, which is good. I hope that it stays like this in every day usage, today I tested it only for 15 minutes.

Bug: When trying to add the mode widget, FCC Launcher force closes, which is reproducable (as it did in test23 before). Please tell us what's wrong with the mode widget. Is it work in progress, so currently not working?

Many thanks for adding the new Compass widget! It seems to be the same as your separate Compass widget from Play Store now, however I could not really test it today since I didn't have to drive my car.

But there's still an issue with the new Compass widget which I had already reported for your separate Compass widget: The directions on the compass rose are wrong for German language: Currently it's displayed as N-E-S-O, but correctly it has to be N-O-S-W (German abbrevations for "Norden - Osten - Süden - Westen"). Please fix this in next test release.

FCC Launcher is making good progress now, thanks for your hard work!
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Here is a quick fix for both of these issues: fcclauncher-3.442_test25.apk

(you may need to reapply widget style for German correct translation to apply)
[Android Head-Units] jeff leggett:
Thanks for your work. This is still my fave launcher. One problem on test 24 is when I select mapbox in settings FCC force closes. Only way to fix is reinstall stable version. I didn't have time to fully investigate but everything else seems good. Malaysk rom. Android 10.
[Android Head-Units] okij:
I can confirm that both bugs are fixed in test25 - thanks a lot! (y)

One question about the "push down" effect when pressing widgets: Is it possible to deactivate this effect so that it looks like before (like in the stable version)?

While this effect basically looks quite good, I don't like it for two reasons: 1. It is even shown when just swiping pages and hitting a widget without activating it (which looks strange) and 2. when touching the Player widget, the whole widget is moving (which is just too much) instead e.g. just the Play button or the texts for the different players. Could you apply this effect to only part of a widget, like for the Player widget? If not, could you make this effect optional?

Besides this small issue, I'm really happy with the test25 version. :giggle:
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Hm, this will be a difficult one to fix..

Mapbox has removed one of the old versions of their API which is currently integrated into the launcher. Switching to newer API will require some work (I hope that most features will be accessible in the new API).
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
@SpeedFire- and what about the albumart fix (still showing the previous listened music ambumart)
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
Ran t25 yesterday. Total failure. Installed fine, but would not run. Kept crashing the second I would select the launcher as home. Uninstalled 25 and 23. reloaded 23, fine, loaded 24 fine, loaded 25 crash. PX6 running Hal 4.2.1.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I don't see crashes in online reports for t25. Can you please record a LogCat log if you have a root?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Can you show it on video? Would be perfect if the LogCat log is also recorded. I need to reproduce the issue.

Player widget will be rewritten soon, but this issue is unusual.
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
Hi When I say crash, I refer to a total lockup, so I cant do anything. I have to switch off the headunit from the ignition and start up and then use Agama or stock launcher. Everytime I try to run FCC the Not responding warning appears and says wait or close. If I close, the stock launcher appears, if I say wait, nothing. Forgive me but i dont know how to get the logfile. If you tell me I will happily post it.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Oh, no as the widget will be revamped, so don't waste time on this, I can wait for the new widget !
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
I will reload t25 shortly and film it.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
New alpha: fcclauncher-3.442_test26.apk

New widget! Analog clock.

In this version both Compass widget and the new Analog Clock widget are switched to a hardware accelerated animations. This should make the animations smoother and consume less CPU resources.

Please test these widgets and report on their performance (especially if you have a slow old device).
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
I started filming the installation of t24 so i could get a backup. That installation went fine but 24 failed to run. I went back to 22 and that was fine. Went to 24 and that was fine, then went to 25 and that failed as soon as I selected FCC Launcher (no interest in split screen). I went back to 24 which crashed as soon as I ran i-Bus. I installed HAL v4.2.1 again and then t25 and now it is working fine. Will test t26 shortly. I stopped filming as it is working.
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
Ok just installed t26. It lasted all of 2mins then crashed. Message is Launcher has stopped, wait or App info. Went back to t24. Then t26 again. Now it wont get past the what launcher choice window. Have no more time to play now. Point me in the direction of "how to" send log files and I will do so. Back to Agama for now!
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Will try it tonight when return to home

Tell me @SpeedFire- is there a way to integrate WITMOTION sensors with your launcher, or in the future, allow access via an API to send external values to Gyro / compass widget ?, as when people like me use cheap chinese headunits without sensors we can't in fact enjoy really that widgets (at least in my case)
[Android Head-Units] yuri76:
I have a carplay aibox and the back button is not there despite having popped up
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
What is WITMOTION?

Fcc Launcher's compass widget uses GPS to show your direction. So it doesn't need a magnetometer or gyroscope. I think your unit has a GPS built-in
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Yes I've also noticed that Launcher is not added to the Home apps after clean install. This is probably a consequences of a recent change for normal / split-screen version on Android 10+. I will investigate the issue.

For now you can manually show this selector - when Fcc Launcher is launched quickly press Back button 3 times.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
WITMOTION = Manufacturer of external sensors (gyro, compass, pressure, etc....) that can be connected to any OS via Bluetooth or USB to UART interfaces

The compass points to north when the car is no moving (normal, no magnetic sensor in the chinese radios)

[Android Head-Units] yuri76:
So I uploaded the video to you tube. The wi fi password is not saved and takes a lifetime to connect. The back button is not selected and I have to disconnect the box or activate the original launcher first
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Seems to be fixed here: fcclauncher-3.442_test27.apk
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Sorry I can't understand what's the problem with the Fcc Launcher from this video.

You don't press a back button on this video and there is no any wifi password in the Launcher.
[Android Head-Units] yuri76:
The back button is not there despite having the tick. Password or wi/wi fi menu is not stored after you turn off the machine

[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I think you mixes something (the Fcc Launcher with your head unit's native programs). Please try to read forums for your head unit first.
[Android Head-Units] yuri76:

Thanks a lot for switching to hardware accelerated animations! (y) I tested this today with test28 and the responsiveness of FCC on my head unit is much better than before. I have a PX6, so it's not even a slow device. ;) Most noticably the opening and editing of widget settings is more responsive now, which was quite a pain in test25.

But I also noticed a bug in the new version: The font sizes of my widgets have partially changed after updating from test25 to test28, so I had to edit them again. And even worse, I also noticed that the texts of the compass widget (I use "xxx km/h" in the middle of it) are displayed much bigger than the texts of the other widgets when using the same font size, so I have to manually choose a lower size in the compass widget (by try and error) when I want to have the same look.

Also I didn't get an answer to my question from three days ago yet, so I'd like to ask you again:
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I will try to solve this when Player widget will be rewritten (soon).

Regarding the font sizes - thanks I will check.
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
Observations for today. Still have zero clue as to Logfile collection.

In brief. My 1039 HU will not run at all with t22,23,24,25,26,27. Every every single successful installation, the choice of Launcher appears, then on selection of split or standard, the popup for close app or wait appears. This happens regardless of the version. I tried Car Guru, Agama and Penguin as well as some of Magisk launchers to check and all run without issue. So can I ask someone to advise me how to get the logs off the HU and posted please.

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Please see the first post in this thread with instructions how to record a LogCat log.

Can you please also record a video?
