I just tested it and can confirm this bug: The auto brightness option is disabled after every FCC restart.

Obviously it was introduced with this change in test66, as test65 is working properly (I just tested it).

@SpeedFire- Please have a look at this issue too. Thanks in advance.

Just wanted to say I've gotten the hang of this launcher now and with the padding options you give for widgets and the split screen support you implemented, this launcher is 🔥🔥🔥

Just paid for Premium.

Thanks for the awesome work and efficient responses @SpeedFire-

New test version: fcclauncher-3.442_test67.apk

- SpeedLimit on minimap is returned

- Auto brightness should be fixed (this looked like a simple fix but it wasn't)
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Thanks a lot for these fixes, much appreciated! 🙂

One question (which I've asked before, but you didn't answer yet): Why does the apk size change so much between test releases? I'm just curious - e.g. test65 was 61 MB, test66 was 58 MB and test67 now is 65 MB in size.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Honestly, I don't know! This depends on Android Studio probably. There were cases when I released a test version which had 65 Mb size, made minor changes (like changing a version number of this build) and the new release was built with a 60 Mb size. I can't say why.
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Today I could test the new test67 beta.

I can confirm that SpeedLimit is working again. (y)

However, auto brightness still has a bug. This does not affect the functionality of auto brightness, but the icon in the Brightness widget, which is often shown in a wrong state after restarting FCC Launcher. Please see attached video:

At 0:22, 0:44 and 1:20 in the video, the icon shows "low brightness", whereas it should have been "auto + high brightness", like before restarting FCC Launcher. Actually I can see that after restarting FCC Launcher the screen brightness is low for a second and then properly restores to high, but the icon still shows "low brightness".

At 1:40 in the video, you can see that this doesn't always happen. Here the icon shows "auto + high brightness", as expected.

I also tried if this bug happens when the brightness is not at "auto", but at a fixed level, but then the icon is always in the correct state after restarting FCC Launcher. You can see this only at 1:04 in the video, but I tried this quite often with different levels and this always worked.

I also tried restarting the whole head unit (PX6 MTCE on Hal9k 4.2.1) instead just FCC, with the same results.

In summary, the problem only exists the "auto" setting of the Brightness widget, does not affect the functionality but only the graphical display and does not always happen.

I hope that these infos help you to fix this issue. 🤞 Please tell me if you need any more infos or testing.
[Android Head-Units] spearoid:
I'm sorry, this is not critical, but I've searched and tried to catch up on this thread but couldn't find a few answers I was seeking

1) is there a way to change the "blank" image / default image in the music player widget when no media is being played? For instance, I'd love to make a Subaru logo that is the default image when FCC loads up

2) is there a way to map the play button (when nothing IS playing) to a particular app? But still have the play button function generically for whatever media app is actively playing?

3) my tablet is a crappy $150 one I just got off eBay... And the FM radio app is full screen or nothing... I tried NextRadio and it doesn't see my tuner.... Are there any tricks out there to get FCC to be able to control radio playing for me?

I always have the same problem I can't create app links, as soon as I try to get an app the window scrolls quickly upwards ... an old problem I would say, already demonstrated several days ago with a video

Just keep it pressed and move it down. That would bring you back to the main page.
[Android Head-Units] jeff leggett:
FCC is becoming very polished and fast. Just about everything works well with android 10 and px6. Every once in a while I get a random hiccup but I can't pin it down. I am also intrigued by the possibility of a super functional side bar. Thanks again.
[Android Head-Units] wifi7501:
as soon as I try to grab an icon, the window quickly scrolls up. no icon can be captured ...
[Android Head-Units] okij:
@speedfire: I can confirm that FCC is becoming really polished with the latest test releases, but I also still get random hiccups once or twice per week.

I just had one of these situations again, i.e. FCC became unresponsive for about one or two minutes and then force closed. I took a LogCat log just after this happened and attached it to this post, so you can have a look what went wrong and hopefully fix it. 🤞

Thank you and good luck for finishing the current rework of FCC Launcher. 🙂
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Thanks. Please check this: fcclauncher-3.442_test68.apk
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Can you please show this on video and describe what is your device / Android OS version?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
This log unfortunately doesn't show anything. I hope you will find something similar in all these cases so I can try to reproduce this.

[Android Head-Units] okij:
Thanks a lot! I tested it and the Brightness widget is fully working now. :)

Hm, that's a pity. Did the log at least contain the force-closing of FCC? After the crash I had to select FCC as default launcher again, so IMHO it must be in the log.

Out of interest: Do you get Firebase Crashlytics reports about such force closes and do they help you to fix the remaining instabilities?

I will keep an eye on the random instabilities and crashed, but so far I haven't seen a similarity (like a preceding event) that could have caused it, it was more like "out of the blue". Of course I will report back if I get some new insights.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Yes, I regularly receive

Yes I receive Firebase Crashlytics reports and regularly fix crashes in almost every new test version. ANR (activity not responding) reports are different and significantly harder to investigate and fix based on online reports.
[Android Head-Units] skeppley:
Well, a few weeks of running this launcher and customizing it, got it just like I want, it is fabulous! Does all that I want. Will purchase the premium today to support the developer, but it does all i need at the moment, will the premium unlock anything new that is really outstanding? Dont care either way, just purchasing to support such great work. My screen attached :)

Thanks SpeedFire!

Someone asked. Here is a test version with the ability to change default album art for player widget: fcclauncher-3.442_test69.apk
[Android Head-Units] wallacerp:
With all these test versions if I'm signed up to the beta channel via Google play does the test versions you post on here get pushed through the beta channel too or do I need to install this manually? Also can I add a video wallpaper to the launcher? Thanks for the great work BTW already paid for premium 👍

Hello, firstly - great work!

But, I have a problem with NavRadio+. What is the best setting for FCC Launcher + NavRadio + Hal9k mod v5.0.1?

My problem is: when I launch NavRadio (from music widget or app) music plays for few seconds and then it stops playing. Then I need to close app from recent apps list and NavRadio launch once again.

It started to behaviour like this after I installed your launcher.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Have you tried the latest test version of the launcher?
[Android Head-Units] pablosso:
No, but I'll try it and will test it.
[Android Head-Units] sker6502:
I'm running FCC launcher (paid) on my px5 head unit in a Peugeot car. So far I'm very impressed by the app, nice work.

is there a chance to display current fuel consumption l/100km and remaining range in km? I know the device can read this info as there is a "car app" that displays exactly that, when I press one of the steering wheel buttons. thx steve
[Android Head-Units] Physen:
@SpeedFire-

Hi, I like your application, but I have a problem with the player widget, I am using Poweramp, when I wake up the device after sleep, I start Poweramp, but the player widget does not display anything, then I restart the launcher and the widget starts working. Please tell me how to fix it. Tried many test versions (now test67) but this problem is everywhere. YT9216 device based on AC8227L processor.

Here's a video of how it goes.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
It looks like FCC Service and Media Notification Listener are killed after sleep, These are background services which do all the background processing including processing of media data from player's notifications. Normally they shouldn't be killed by the system.
[Android Head-Units] ggipublic:
Hi all

I am using stable (premium) FCC on my tesla like android device . Unfortunately I changed minimap style to "custom" and now FCC keeps restarting without any chance to use it. How can I revert the minimap option ?

Thanks a lot for your help.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Please try to install the latest test version from here.

If you'll still have a crash please record a LogCat log (see instructions in the first post).
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Would it be possible to add them to the whitelist e.g. in Hal9k roms, so they don't get killed during sleep? On the other hand, these are only services and not apps, so it wouldn't be possible to whitelist them, is this correct?
[Android Head-Units] ggipublic:
Problem solved by installing your test69 app version. Great , thank you. Ciao
[Android Head-Units] kill_one:
Hi Speedfire, congratulations first of all for the launcher you created, as soon as I tried it I immediately bought the premium version understanding its potential, I later found the various bugs of the playstore version that were later corrected in the test versions available here :)

I wanted to ask you something, having the version with the backup failed problem if I update to the latest test version the settings and themes set are kept or do I have to start all over again?

I also wanted to know if the problem of the accessibility service disabled when waking up the standby (when the car is turned on) has been solved or is there a workaround to solve it? Currently I have to reactivate it every time to increase the volume of google assistant (i have PX5 ANDROID 10 no root)

Also I don't know if it has been reported to you and it has already been corrected but with the playstore version I found that when you try to configure the reset of the buttons on the steering wheel, the recent window always opens or crashes instead of having to choose the buttons to remap .

Then if possible I would have a request, namely the possibility of adding an option to reset travel data automatically every day or week and maybe the possibility of saving them in a file for a report or statistics.

Thank you very much for the support and availability you have towards us :)
[Android Head-Units] wifi7501:
@SpeedFire- hello did you look at the problem i have?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Hi!

You can easily upgrade to the latest test version. Most (hopefully all) settings should be saved. I've completely rewritten most of the widgets in the test version but I expect more or less good migration. This is a very important part, so please describe your experience after upgrade to the test version. Please save screenshots of your current setup and then show what is changed unexpectedly in the test version (this will help a lot!).

This is an android limitation. You need to have a root to do this. As far as I remember I've try to include this re-activation for rooted devices but I'm not sure. Tasker can do this (but for rooted devices as well).

Haven't heard about this issue. Please try the test version and report if it still exists.

Trip data should be reset every day in the test version.

I always have no time to implement statistics for trips :) Please remind me later

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Thank you for your video. I had no time yet to check this issue. I will try to reproduce it on my device.
[Android Head-Units] pablosso:
I've tried the latest test version and still NavRadio+ stops playing after few seconds.

Problem looks like this:

I'm listening to Spotify or no music at all (whatever). I click the physical BAND button on HU, NavRadio+ turns on, there is a sound for 2-3 seconds and it's over, not playing.

But it's working only if I go to the desktop, on the music widget I have to select NavRadio+, run the application by pressing BAND and only then is it okay.
[Android Head-Units] tonimontoia:
to me it keeps crashing fcc i would not want there to be some kill app on the hal9k rom
[Android Head-Units] okij:
I don't quite understand what you mean. Please use at least a few punctuation marks in your posts.

If FCC is crashing on your device, please take a log of it (e.g. with Logcat Extreme) for @SpeedFire- to find the cause and fix it. Thanks.
[Android Head-Units] daemondee:
I noticed that in the latest test version (test69), the map does not show the speed limit. Also, the street name does not work correctly as it shows the same street name all the time.

Is there an easy way to root my device (EUNAVI PX5 4 / 64GB A10)? And how are developer options activated? Why are other accessibility services like tasker or autoinput still active?

i updated to the latest test, it kept the settings but something changed in the widget view, the backup works locally and gdrive :)

below are the screens before and after the update

as you can see the text size and some icons were only del, also on the icons now there is the name but i think there is an option somewhere to remove it right? in the widget player there were no longer the names of the three applications, they came out after a few restart of the launcher but the text is much smaller than before, the compass skin was gone and I had to reset it in its options, the page selectors did not it works, maybe I have to delete and recreate them? also, when I change one of the 3 applications in the player widget, the text and the cover of the previous application remain

The key mapping crash is still there I made you some videos before and after, and I don't know if it's wanted but if you press the back button three times the launcher closes and asks me which app to choose as the new home launcher if you want to want enter as to close it or keep it always active? Thanks and nice the time bar in the new widget :) can you customize the color?

also i dont know if it can be done but run the possibility in the player of that when youtube comes in the background it keeps playing the video instead of pausing it and it would be nice if you could keep watching the video instead of the image in the contraption.

Update:

I fixed everything, fixed the dimensions and eliminated the text on the icons, rearranged the compass and the page selectors (in practice updating to test69 did not keep the settings for these widgets), I noticed that now you can customize almost everything for each widget! Great!!! As for the fourth player in the widget, can't you add an option to keep it always visible?

Same here. Just not in my car for very long right now. I do have occasional fcc freeze ups when head unit wakes from sleep. Usually no warning message. I have to reboot and choose FCC as home launcher again and all is well. Doesn't happen too often. Thank you to the developer and all the testers.
[Android Head-Units] taesden:
Hi, sorry if this are beginner questions. I have purchased fcc for my M.I.C. device with PX6 but I´m very unhappy with the hardware, so I´m locking for a new device to run fcc on it. My questions are focused to the compatibility:

I´m lokking for a

Joying newly 11.6 inch Single Din Autoradio 4G LTE Android 10.0 Car Stereo with 1920*1080​

running with ARM Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A55 CPUs.

Is fcc compatible with this device?

Does fcc autoplay last player after sleep is working with my preferred players: Stelio Music Player, Retro-Player, Muzio Player. I´m verry focused to mp3 players, that´s the main reason why I want to use a Android device.

Does anyone nows a real FM radio app with individual thumbnails for each radio station?

Thanx for each help and advice!

@SpeedFire- This morning at 07:37 FCC Launcher was unresponsive again after starting the car. When I parked the car yesterday evening at 19:05, FCC was working without problems, so this issue always happens after waking FCC from deep sleep.

This time there were no issues with Tasker, so the issues I reported last time don't seem to be related with FCC freezing.

On the 2nd prompt "FCC Launcher not responding, do you want to close it Y/N" I pressed "Y", set FCC as home launcher again and took the attached Logcat for you.

The ANR (Application not responding) is recorded in this snippet of the Logcat:

That's all I can do for now to help you in tracking down this issue. Please let me know if I you need some more infos and good luck in fixing it. :)🤞

[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
It's not part of the ROM or Launcher. It's a separate app you can install from the PlayStore called Audio Glow Live Wallpaper and can be found HERE. I bought the paid version I linked to, but there is a free version too.

@SpeedFire- I also encountered problems with the player widget, in particular the cover and the text does not always update, also sometimes when I change player the cover and info of the previous player remain, it would also be possible to implement support for gif images to be put as a default cover ? Thanks and good job :)

In today's beta two new players are integrated:

- Subsonic player (full integration)

- TuneIn (very difficult to integrate, launch it from FCC's 'TuneIn background play' icon).

Actually, TuneIn is the most difficult integration for a long time. It is as closed as possible (sends and receives almost nothing).

When you have Waze running and the voice is speaking. The sound in pcradio goes down. When I have the FM radio running it doesn't do the volume down.

Also when waze running after start the car . It goes two or three times back to home screen
[Android Head-Units] HarryBk:
Used my HU for about 3hrs today, longest I have ever done after isntallation of FCC. Everything went smoothly and I must say I love the gestures, especially the next/previous track. Works seamlessly with Stellio, the music player I am using. Noted some small bugs I would like to hare though:

a) When receiving a phone call, music mutes but there's no ringing or any sort of pop up on the screen to pick up. Had to search for the app, launch it manually and then reply, which is distracting

b) When hanging up from a phonecall, the launcher resumes the radio, not Stellio, regardless of which one was previously playing, which can be annoying. Same happens on sleep, always launches on radio

c) When using the volume knob, the system status line at the top of the screen appears and stays till I press "home" again. Not an issue per se, just do not like it that much!

Hope my comments did not came out in a negative way, just posting because I really like the launcher and believe it can be made even better!

Thanks again for the amazing effort!
[Android Head-Units] pa.ko:
It happens with every app that is autostarted. It goes back to home screen several times. Like FCC Launcher takes focus from any other app. (I think at that moment also FCC widgets get intitialized )

Just uploaded a new beta:

- Custom logos for radio stations!

Now you can assign your own logos to each FM radio station (please use square logos, as they will be cropped to square). I hope that they will be backed up and restored.

- Circle album art option (if anyone wants).

- Attempt to fight that 'go home' bug
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Actually this is a pure bug. I've tried to fight it in last beta though.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
This seems to be an issue with Head unit / MCU itself as this process does not involve launcher. I don't know why such an easy thing is still not resolved. I've already fixed some of similar issues with MTCB/MTCD devices. Maybe I will find a way to fix this as well.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
This is very strange. Because it works ok on most devices. Can you please send me a LogCat log (at most deep level - Verbose) of switching between music sources and then making a call?

I don't think that FCC is somehow involved. But you can check - stop FCC and try the same.
