Another odd thing w/ this accessibility issue. Tasker never asks for accessibly permission and is always enabled (see screen) so why does FCC have this issue? I'd think if this was because the google play store was demanding this, why would tasker be ok?
[Android Head-Units] Smess1210:
Could it be linked to Tasker needing root?

Sent from my ZX81
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
Perhaps. But it still is giving accessibility access which google play doesn't allow anymore right? That's why this is an issue for FCC? I wonder if I can modify the build.prop file to allow accessibility access sort of like tasker does but on a more permanent basis. The odd thing is that after SLEEP it also requests it. I'd be fine if i only had to do on a full reboot but this unit will sleep and fast boot back up most times and it requires me to allow accessibility manually again. I was hoping i could make FCC a device admin but no option to do so.

Given play Store does not allow any Apps they distribute to allow Accessibility access, a possible solution might be for FCC to include the ability to run a FCC "Addon MODULE", that if Present, would have the code to allow FCC to grant Accessibility Access, and to distribute that FFC "Addon Module" elsewhere, on a App site that does allow such code.

Kinds of like a built in Specific Tasker like addon for FCC, that integrates into FCC, and then does not require ROOT to operate ?

Are you working on MTK (8227) integration?? The current software options for those units have the bluetooth music player and phone merged into a single app - and it hides the clock. Would love to see bluetooth (AVRCP) widgets for these units. Would definitely pay for that integration!

Here my customization:

Currently i have these issues:

1) During a trip in a Hiway minimap shows all the near roads. Not correct I was in the hiway. The real current road was one (Hiway name : "Tangenziale Ovest di Catania") but during the trip the names changes 50 and more times!

2) Scrolling text not works properly : see this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uH2rNLjTfjA -> the entire name is "Tequila e San Miguel". The scroll shows only "Tequila e San M"

3) If i turn on the unit without GPS signal (in a garage for instance) I see the World (in the minimap), should be nice if it remembers the last known position.

anyone tried it on Xtrons android 9 unit? if yes would you recommended it?
[Android Head-Units] barebackjack:
Someone with an idea on how to achieve a single click button to do this ? Must be a way to send this command to the unit ? Maybe it's possible to intercept what's happening when we push the button in equalizer section of the unit, and replicate the action of this button... i don't know how, but i ask...

Thanks.

Android 9

Hello [MENTION=1633144]speedfire[/MENTION], I have installed the version of android 9 on my px5 and when restoring Fcc it is not restored well it appears with the widgets randomly. I have reinstalled version 8 and it works as it should be without any problem, you can look at it and see what the problem is, thank you.

The widgets do not seem to work with my Stock Music/Radio/BT Music apps on my new unit and I really miss using FCC Launcher.

Can we count on speed limit data and street names to be taken from Waze navigation? Speed ​​limits from the Open Street Map are often out of date and are not always displayed, and in Waze are very accurate
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Hi, guys!

This was really, REALLY hard but... OFFLINE MAP!

Here is a new alpha:

- Offline map using Mapbox map renderer. You can change map type to offline in MiniMap setting (the switch at the very top). For now you need to manually restart the launcher after switching the source.

Offline map uses vector .mbtiles files as a source. The Launcher will ask you to download this file.

You may want to download it at home.

1) Go to https://openmaptiles.com/downloads/planet/ and select your region at the right panel.

2) Then you may download for free (for evaluation purposes) or purchase an .mbtiles file (select OpenStreetMap vector tiles).

3) Put it into /sdcard/FCC_Launcher/MBTiles/ - only one file can be used for now.

- You can also try an online Mapbox map (it is also available among map sources)

Limitations:

- Please MAKE A BACKUP before installing this version

- Some / many unexpected crashes may occur (this is an early alpha)

- Only one map style is available currently (a bright one)

- App size grew from 20Mb to 30Mb (I hope this is fine for most)

Hi,

First of all I wanna say that I really like this launcher because it's simple and full of useful settings.

I need help with a problem: randomly, I'm not able to understand when and for what reason it happens, widget doesn't shows at boot.

Yesterday I set my page with torque widgets and the integrated player one, then I turned off the car and when I turned it on again, after few hours, widgets were not showed.

The weird thing is that if I keep pressed where a widget should be, i can see its frame but cannot open setting so the only thing i can see about the widget is its frame.

Last thing, if I put a new widget all works properly but the launcher ask me again to grant permissions to create widgets.
[Android Head-Units] Shadow128:
Thanks for the new update with first offline functionality :)

Yesterday I wanted to test it, but I'd to stop with configuring, cause I've some problems with stopping/starting music :(

But maybe someone can help.

I've a Erisin PX5 Android Head Unit with Android 8 (Hal9k Rom).

- I've seen, that I can choose between PX5 and PX5+? What is the excact differenct and where can I see, what type my head unit is?

But ok. I want to use PowerAmp as music player (best app which all options I need), and maybe FMRadio and DVD, nothing more.

- Has FCC the possibility to stop PowerAmp before shutdown (ignition off) for saving the track position?

I couldn't get it to work, so I tried with Tasker. Here I've a command to stop PowerAmp, but next problem is to start PowerAmp after Ignition On.

With FCC option to start last player it starts for 1-2 seconds, but then stops :confused:

With Tasker I found no solution to start it after Ignition on (but with Nova it is working).

Maybe someone has a similiar constellation with FCC and used apps and can help me? :)

[Android Head-Units] ElMery:
Good morning.

I have a sad update after many uninstall and reinstall processes:

If I install the launcher, then I make my skin with widgets and apps everything works perfectly, but after a power off when I turned it on again no widget is displayed and this happen every time I reinstall the launcher.

It seems like the launcher loses in some way the permission to create widgets.

Good night I'm interested in this launcher, especially for being able to name FM stations, but I suspect a doubt, is my device compatible?

It is a Junsun Model t41.

Is my device compatible by the FM widget? Can I name the stations?

If not, can you root or install a custom rom that offers this functionality?

[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] Thank you for all the hard work you do for this launcher! The latest Alpha worked okay other than quite a bit of jumping around after waking from sleep. Home button seems to work well. Still have some issues with it resuming the music after sleep... It seemed to work better a few versions back (can't remember what one). Then I tried to use the offline maps by following the directions, and it would just go into crash loop with the launcher constantly restarting over and over.

[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
Hmmm, strange. An "FCC launcher has crashed" pop up appeared a couple times. HERE is another log, that is quite a bit longer and the error appeared multiple times. And HERE is a video of it too. I took this video the same time the logcat was recording, toward the end of the log.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Sorry, no fatal errors in this log as well (but I will look into the constant restart behaviour)

Can you please try to catch that "FCC Launcher has stopped" event in the log??

Update: It seems that Offline file is corrupted. Please try to delete everything from /sdcard/FCC_Launcher/MBTiles/ and download the offline file again.
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
Ah, okay cool. I was wondering about that myself. Thank you. I will download the map again and update you on it soon.

I know for right now, it is only one map but can I use any of those maps? Like the contour or satellite one?

Vector maps were tested only. But you can try other types of maps (with no guarantee that they will work).

Hi,

today i installed the beta version from playstore. I tried it only 20 minutes, i get these issues :

- A crash after 10 minutes (i was only listening radio in background)

- The radio widget, on start-up, shows a wrong frequence (108.0) even if i was listening another frequence (95.60).

- Also in this version "Ok Google Call ..." doesn't work.

Thank you, i'll try today.

I tried only (v4, v5 and v6). I didn't tried the "oldest" profiles.

Regards,

Salvo
[Android Head-Units] abagos:
Do these profiles depend on the hardware or the MCU? If we have an "old" unit, does it mean we need a "small number" profile regardless if we've updated to a latest MCU?

Thank you.

[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Please don't forget to restart launcher after each change.

If none of this still work please send me your Bluetooth app apk (if you have a root).

Maybe you have some even newer profile which needs to be added.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
It's hard to say. MCU works in cooperation with the built-in apks. If both firmware and MCU are updated then theoretically you may need to switch to a different profile.
[Android Head-Units] abagos:
My unit was originally PX3 MTCD 1.x with Android 5.x. I upgraded the board to PX5 Android 6 and then to Android 8. I had to replace the WiFi/BT chip to make it functional in Android 8. In parallel I upgraded the MCU to 3.10 (HA, even that is different, was KBT originally).

Having done all that, I am able to make/receive calls in different profiles (I think I've tried 3, 4, 5, and 6); BT is functional. Is it possible that the profile affects call quality (that's what I am trying to address currently).

Thank you.
[Android Head-Units] parisisal:
I'm not root. But i have the image of the system (a zip of 2gb).

I'll try this afternoon.

Regards,

Salvo
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Profile does not affect call quality. Profile is just a set of commands (like "make a BT call" without any additional settings) which are sent to MCU. Everything else is controlled by MCU.
[Android Head-Units] parisisal:
Ok, this afternoon I tried all the profiles available. I choose a profile and then i reboot the launcher using the funcion in the app drawer.

The results was the same :

1) I say "Ok Google, call Dad"

2) In the screen appears the Google Assistant interface that writes what i said.

3) Then Google reply "Calling Dad, Mobile ... "

4) Then the Google interface disappears.

5) Return the FCC Launcher screen.

6) No call starts.

What works:

- make a call using the phone -> in the unit I see the call bar and i can manage the call -> ok

- make a call using the bt app -> in the unit I see the call bar and i can manage the call -> ok

- receive an incoming call -> in the unit I see the call bar and i can manage the call -> ok

the only thing that doesn't work is make a call from "Google App/Assistant".

The device is an XTRONS PX5 Android 8.

Maybe a configuration issue of my Google Apps in the UNIT ?

Which checks I must do ?
[Android Head-Units] SoberXDA:

You have to activate a Maps API key. Then you just long press somewhere on the maps and it initiate the route to this location

Newbie

Newbie here. I have a brand new Dasaita Rockchip PX6 and FCC Launcher paid version works great! No pressing issues. Very stable, fast, and easy to setup. Just a few questions.

1) Without rooting the device, how can I switch out the lame Chinese music default app for Spotify? I setup my steering wheel controls to launch the music app but FCC launcher cannot override the controls for some reason. No big deal. Just need know where I could switch out the music app ID for Spotify. Probably in some config file I hope.

2) What are your top 5 widgets? I am using standard apps - Spotify, Google Maps, Alexa, You Tube, Google Email, etc.\

Thanks!

P.S. I found a really good Chinese supplier if you are looking to upgrade but unsure who to trust.

ok have a few other ones...

Apps are not started when unit wakes from sleep, for example 'flitsmeister' is killed when unit wakes up.

I added it to autostart but this does not seem to work.

Backup/restore settings does not work.

I made a backup on my car unit and restore it on my tablet (same android version), it reports it is restoring but nothing is happening..

Don't know what the backup/restore should do but i expect it would make a backup and if i restore everything (including widget/layout/settings) is restore to the point of the backup, correct me if i am wrong here.

I also noticed when i start FCC on my tablet i miss the right plane, the left plane is at the bottom, so i also do not have the map symbol etc.

You will probably ask yourself why is he using a tablet?

My idea was i design/test my layout on my tablet first, create a backup and restore it on my head unit, but this seems not possible....
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:

Make sure that you use the latest BETA from the Play Market. This was fixed a couple betas ago.

Backup / restore is not as stable as I would wish but I will continue to fix it.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Yes, this is not my widget. And the crash is caused not by the FCC Launcher but by the system itself (that's why I haven't seen any crash reports for my launcher).

The system misses one of the core Alarm methods:

This is probably because of custom firmware it was excluded from.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Uploaded a new beta to Play Market with the following changes:

- Back camera brightness change is back (now it can be disabled and is disabled by default). I don't know if it will work properly when enabled. Please test.

- Bug fixes related to players.

[Android Head-Units] B3rt:
I am using the one from the store (on tablet), in my car i am using the apk you posted yesterday (fcclauncher-release-2.402.apk).

If i use the APK of you last post (fcclauncher-release-2.406.apk), is this ok also?

But can you confirm or deny the following:

- Is it possible to create your own homescreen with widgets and settings, create then a backup and restore it in the car?

So when restored the car unit has exactly the same layout/options as the tablet ...

Or what does the backup/restore actually backup?

i restored but i noticed nothing on my tablet, even the settings where not restored....

I wanted to create a mirror of my car unit on my tablet so i could finetune settings/layout etc without having to sit in my car :)

Could it be because i am using Malaysk rom as base that some functions ((re)start apps on wake/boot) not work correct?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Yes, I confirm that restore / backup should work as you described. However please note that:

1) When you first try to backup the app asks you to login. When you logged in you need to select backup option again until you see a successful notice.

2) You can check that back up files are created by looking at your Google Drive root folder (sorry for spamming there I will change it later).

3) After restore don't forget to check / change device type in other settings
[Android Head-Units] B3rt:
Ok that is weird...

I see 2 configuration files in the root of my google drive and i used restore but on my tablet nothing is restoring...

How can i enter my login details on restore?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
You need to be logged in at the same google account and select it when first time try to backup / restore. However I should say that backup / restore process is pretty unstable at the moment (mostly because of widgets' nature). I will try to improve it.
