FCC 3.365 v9:

- An option to launch app in split screen mode can be selected in the settings of each Icon Widget.

it always makes me a pity, I turn on applications that don't have to start, it opens it closes on its own I don't know where to go to see to solve

Hi [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] ,

2 issues found with activated setting for split screen in v9:

Running in landscape mode.

FCC is moved to the right side and in my case TomTom to the left side.

This leads to the issue that FCC is not active after switching to the split screen. You need to tap on the screen to get FCC visible.

Each app is opened new, even if the app is running in the background. (stability issues are visible).

If I deactivate the split screen setting in the button settings and move FCC to the left side, Android just puts the background app to foreground, without restarting it.

Hello, i find the FCC Car Launcher wonderfull. But i have a question. Has anyone Skins for Tesla Style Radios? My Resolution is 768x1024.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Hi [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

FCC v10 seems more stable now. :good:

To show the difference in the behavior of activated setting in the button menu and manual first split, see attached video.

Start is with activated split setting.

Until 00:30 you can see some first strange behavior....

I then killied all apps and started again with FCC as single activated app.

At 00:35 I opened TT in split screen mode and after TT is ready, FCC is not visible. I need to tap on the screen to get FCC visible.

At 00:55 I pressed TT button again and you can see, that TT is restarted, instead of refreshing the window.

At 01:07 I deactivated the start in split screen setting for TT, killed all apps and started FFC again.

Then you can see the difference to the first minute of testing.

TT is never restarted but the window has been refreshed.
[Android Head-Units] KaraSSi:
Hello. Where from did you get this skin? Or where i can find more skins for fcc?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Yes, I experience similar behavior. Sometimes auto-split mode works, sometimes not. I'll try to make it more reliable if it can be done.

Hi I would like to ask how did you do the top bar with the icons to always stay on topand to be shown no matter what app you start? I have been looking for a solution like this for some time.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
This is an app which is part of the firmware (system app) for my unit.

It´s called EventCenter, but there is nothing in the market like that...

This is my own skin.

You can do it yourself too, just ignore the integrated ones and create it yourself.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

additional finding:

FCC does not always recognize the GPS data in split screen.

It's working only with 50% on my unit too and I have only possibility to split at left.

I looked Rigattoni's video post #6108 , he has possibility to split right and left ao its probably different on different rom?
[Android Head-Units] tonimontoia:

Thanks for the answer this Eventcenter seems to be a good feature, I wonder if we can add it to other rom as well. What type of device do you own?
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
I use a new Klyde unit with rotatable screen in 12.8".

i purchased FCC Launcher and have it set up the way i like it and am pretty pleased - best launcher i've tried so far with my Tesla screen.

one minor question: in map settings, "Use custom car arrow image" .... i see no way to change it, or import your own. Is this feature working?

Can you write a point by point discription how i can activate Split screen Mode. I don't find the option...

Thanks.

How do you acitivate split screen in FCC?
[Android Head-Units] bmwflo:
Hi!

does this also address crashes on Android 10?

I recently upgraded to PX6 module, which came with preinstalled Android 10, and unfortunately FCC crashes on every start on it. Also tried the beta version on Play Store - same story.

As at the moment there does not seem to be a working solution for "downgrading" to Android 9 based Hal9k v4, so I would really appreciate a working version of FCC, as I don´t like the stock launcher on my device, all the other launchers included with Hal9k don´t work either, and last but not least, FCC is really the best launcher available for the Android head units :good::good:
[Android Head-Units] ric69:
Today I tried to drive with v10 but minimap is not working anymore in full screen ( Map is not updating with GPS position). Also in split mode 50%, I have problem with settings in player widget (impossible to slide down when there is a scrolling menu)

Widget Custom Background

I Tried to add a .png file as custom background for an icon widget, but as i save it FCC crashes, there's a specific size and resolution for the image?
[Android Head-Units] mr_shaba:
I'm having the same problem with minimap in v10. I've to admit that I updated from v3 to v10.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Yes.. what is one issue when Splitting an existing "designed" FCC screen, it will get "Squashed" and most likely not look too good.

Which is why I think it is better to design NEW "split screens" to display well in the split state, so this will result in your FCC Launcher having a number of Screens: - Full Screen screens, and some "Split Screen" designs, typically custom made to run along side a specified App that is running in the other part of the screen.

ie say you want to have a Split display, with Google map running on one side, maybe taking up either 50% or 75% of the screen, typically display quite a lot of data, so you want is reasonably big. So now you have a limited amount of room on the other side of the screen, for FCC widgets -- so you would probably only design that FCC part to have the really needed items, that you NEED to see along side the Google map.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Here are a couple to get you started :-
[Android Head-Units] Ericang:
just discover that my split screen can only do 50%

Is it just me or everyone has the same issue ?
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Before the official split screen feature was added to FCC, I could do a split, with FCC taking about 75% of the screen, but no less.

This new addition to add at least a 50% split is going to open up some great possibilities .. great job [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

Still a few bugs, but it is early days in what is probably a significant design addition.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Same on my new unit, but... it´s big enough for me... :D

I am working with tasker to launcher FCC with split screen

My flow is

Wait 5second

Start App Google Map

Wait 2 seconds

Toggle Split screen

Wait 2 seconds

Go Home Page(0)

Anyone has a better wait to do this ?

Please share

Thank you

Issue i encounter:

Tasker accessibility is auto disabled when system reboot, hence unable to start up toggle

I will have always frequently go into tasker to enable Permission for tasker to gain accessibility .
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Accessibility settings are all cancelled due to Android restrictions... but there is help. ;)

I got a small app from [MENTION=7838245]realzoulou[/MENTION] which reacts only on the availability of any USB-Stick, mounted to your device. (similar as DAB-Z is working).

You need to allow it once!!!

There is a delay included now for 10 sec. You will see a short notification and a short blank screen for a second.

realzoulou allowed me to provide this app. (see attachment), so my big thanks go to him. :good:

This activates Tasker, so that you are able to use Tasker without opening it.... but:

First Task needs to use SecureSettings (a plugin for Tasker on rooted devices) to activate the accessibility settings for Tasker and FCC, before you can split your screen as you wrote.

Regarding your task:

You should play a bit with your wait commands. 1 sec is enough between the toggle command and start it after the accessibility settings are given.
[Android Head-Units] tonimontoia:
sorry, but tasker must be installed on the right car radio, then from the controls on what do you want to play?
[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
So this starts up the tasker process if it detects a USB item? That's awesome if so, my Tasker is killed on fast boot and I need to start it up again with a button click. Haven't found any other way to do it.
[Android Head-Units] liamstears:
Any chance of an update for TPMS plugin/widget?

Noticed that if a pressure gets low I can't stop the alert once it's started, only way is to correct tyre pressure then restart FCC...
[Android Head-Units] tonimontoia:
hello kindly someone can post how to program tasker, I am not up to it if someone helps me thank you in advance
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
There are tons of help pages and videos. This thread should has nothing to do with Tasker.

Hi hi

I am not a very well verse in this tasker and android programming. I just hope that i can solve this problem.

I did this, i dun know am i doing it correctly

I install the app you sent,

plug in a thumb drive

A notice came out , and i click don't show again

Next at tasker , i add in the action. When i run

i got this

how do i change permission ?
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Is your unit rooted and did you activate secure settings?
[Android Head-Units] Ericang:
i dun think my unit is rooted.

How do you activate securesettings ?
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Sorry to say... But without root you are not able to activate accessiblilty settings externally. You need to activate it manually.
[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
i can confirm that worked, awesome, i have been struggling to start tasker on fastboot, and this does it. I have no idea how it works, think i might drop him a message to say thanks and ask how!
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Ref: Tasker, accessibility, Play Store rules & security etc etc

It seems that on several occasions, FCC cannot do certain "desirable" functions because Play Store does not allow apps to access thing that Google believe they should not.

So to get around this, one has to Root their device and run tools like Tasker etc etc.. which for most of us, is both a PITA , not practical and opens up even more potentially dangerous security issues.

I appreciate that FCC has to "Play" by Google Rules, to be able to distribute FCC on "Play Store", but maybe there is a "technical" work around.

To give FCC access to these Google Forbidden function, could FCC accept an Optional addon "FCC accessibility Module", designed especially for FCC, that integrates into FCC and gives FCC the ability to do things that are forbidden by Google Play store.

FCC, as distributed on the Play Sore would continue to abide by the "Rules", but this FCC addon module could be distributed elsewhere, (or directly downloaded from another Distribution system), so that those wanting FCC to to have these abilities to do these "accessibility" functions, can have FCC do them programmatically by FCC.

One assumes that since FCC and the FCC Module are both programmed by the same developer, that this FCC Module could be programmed, so that only this Module will work with FCC, and FCC can only integrate to this specific FCC module, thus reducing or eliminating the risk of any unwanted actions by rouge addon modules etc.

It's perfect! I bought Premium!

I am having trouble connecting to obd2 on my PX5, there is no communication, I should use CanBus but my decoder is for the Peugeot 207 European and my car is the Western 207. Can someone help me? Thank you.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Quite easy to say...

Tasker needs to get activated externally. This can be done with an intent.

I struggled around and built an own app which can be used with FCC, but I needed something which works without FCC.

So I asked zoulou if he would have an idea to do that - a trigger to send this intent when registering an USB- device.

com.joaomgcd.taskerm.plugin.ServiceRequestQuery

He was interested and found a way to get it working. At least something like a wait/sleep of 10 sec. to send the intent worked perfect.

[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

Would it be possible to get all widgets with icon and numbers set up in the same way?

Example:

The weather widget has the number beside the icon, but the GPS widget has the number on top of the icon.

That is difficult to get handled in split screen and does not look really well.

I would prefer to get numbers beside the icon... What do you think?
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Icons with numbers above or below the icon have the advantage of only taking up one square on the screen grid, whereas e.g. the weather widget needs two squares to be displayed properly with a readable font size.

So if this gets changed, I would vote for making the horizontal/vertical arrangement selectable by the user.

BTW, talking about improvements, I would like an option to start an app when clicking on the weather widget, so I can start my favourite weather app this way. Of course then the icon-view of the weather widget also has to be pre-selected by the user and can't be cycled through by clicling on it.
[Android Head-Units] giava:
Hi everyone, I have been using FCC Launcer for some time, I really enjoyed it and I activated the premium version. I wanted to create a custom skin but I realized that it doesn't make me add more than it did before, if I delete two it doesn't make me add it and only one remains, to go back to having the 3 original skins I had to resort to backup, and even after the backup it doesn't make me add them. I upgraded to FCC 3.365 v12 beta but nothing has changed. Another thing is that the satellite widget never marked the number of satellites, even if the maps are fine and the satellites are in the native app. Uninstalling everything and reinstalling would perhaps be the solution but it would mean losing the premium version. I thank you in advance.

Sorry, but posts like yours make me mad, because

your posts are badly readable beause of no usage of upper and lower case and almost no use of punctuation.

In this post you are asking other users to spoon-feed you without showing any own initiative.

[MENTION=2534110]rigattoni[/MENTION] is one of the most helpful users here on this thread, so there really is no need to defame him like you did in the cited post or to be ironic with him like you did in post #6139.

[MENTION=2534110]rigattoni[/MENTION] posted a solution to your problem in post #6133 and post #6147. If that doesn't suit you or is not enough for you, then in first instance you have to learn how to use Tasker. Here are some good places to do so:

The Ultimate Noob/Beginners Guide to Tasker on XDA

Tasker Quick Start – get started in 10min! on pocketables.com

If you need to ask questions about Tasker or want so look for answers that have been given to other user's questions, these are some good places to do so:

As [MENTION=2534110]rigattoni[/MENTION] already wrote in post #6138, this thread has nothing to do with Tasker, so it's the wrong place to ask.

[Android Head-Units] Ericang:
People People

dun fight please ... Peace.

It is actually a VERY simple solution to get tasker to work.

I use this adb to write in this command into the system.

Tasker needs to be granted permission to Write Secure Settings on your device

Use these commands:

adb shell pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

Just one line of command.

If you have issue plugging USB into the unit, adb does support WiFi usage

Simple search on Google will give you the answer.

NavRadio+ support for FCC Launcher

[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]: The dev of NavRadio+ [MENTION=2734955]KoTiX2[/MENTION] released test version 0.1.57 on his beta channel which now is being recognized by FCC Launcher and can be set as one of the players in the FCC player widget. But - as was expected and user [MENTION=9549004]AdekP[/MENTION] described here on the NavRadio+ thread - it isn't working well yet since FCC uses some direct access to the radio.

[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
YES, once they have been tested (by Beta Testers) and there is a good indication that they work correctly and will not Crash FCC.

A beta test is a type of testing period for a computer product prior to any sort of commercial or official release. Beta testing is considered the last stage of testing, and normally involves distributing the product to beta test sites and individual users ("beta testers") outside the company for real-world exposure.

Please add the Button Style parameter to the "Page Widget Button"

Most other widget buttons can have a Button Style, but the page Button Widget never got that parameter, so when you have a page with nice Style Buttons on it, the plain Square Button of the Page Widget is the odd one out.
