Is there a way to add the default stock player (which is in malaysk rom) and call it Music' to the music/media widget?

So it will display the media info which is currently played into the widget.

That'd be nice. Perhaps that'd also give you an idea how he is getting 4..4.4 album art to work.

Did some more testing, while driving.

The symptoms I experience with the Overspeed Alarm sound is :-

(1) All is working fine till the 1st time I over-speed.

(2) Then I hear the playing audio muisic drop in volume, but I hear no alarm.

The Music NEVER returns to its previous level (even if Continuous Alarm is turned off), until I RESTART FCC.

(3) As soon as FCC closes, before re-starting, the original music volume returns.

This would tend to indicate to me that the playing of the Alarm Sound in FCC is "Locking up" or "Crashing", and FCC only recovers from this with a re-start.

If needed, I would be more than happy to run a temporary Alpha, with some debugging included, if it helps to pinpoint where things are going wrong .. Unfortunately, I am not rooted, and I don't think I can root this particular Head Unit.

BTW: Still hoping to hear from any FCC users who have the Alarm sound working, or who are also experiencing the same non-playing issues I have.

Is it really only me ? :(
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
For me it sounds like:

FCC is requesting the audio focus

FCC is mocking all other audio output

Not finding the sound to play, or trying to play with the wrong codec

Not releasing the audio focus.

This seems not to be a freeze, otherwise FCC would freeze completely.

Should may be some quick fix possible to release the channel to release latest after 1 sec if FCC runs into this issue.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Agreed -- I had assumed the Alarm sound was running in it's own process, and the process locked up / froze.

Would be nice if it could be fixed, rather that just covered up.

If FCC can detect when it runs into this issue, it should be able to tell why.

I am not rooted, but some simple temporary debug code in there temporarily, should be able to pinpoint there the issue is.

It is disappointing that nobody else has commented if it works, or does not work for them, - does not seem to be the activity and user input that was so great to see earlier this year.
[Android Head-Units] LinkseD:
I have to say I dont even know if this is enabled or not when you freshly install FCC. But im glad it doesnt beep or anything (would be annoying as hell) but I also dont encounter any volume drops or something in this direction.

Im using blitzer.de PRO for radar detection here in Germany and it silences the playing music as it should, so no problem using this app with FCC eather.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Yes, I´m on Blitzer.de plus too, running perfectly in the background.

I just tried it yesterday evening on my commute and found the same behavior Scopesys wrote about.

This functionality in FCC is not used for warning about radar traps or traffic congestion, it´s just used to warn if you override the allowed speed on the road you are driving on... and yes you need to actively switch it on in settings.

So you can´t compare Blitzer.de with this FCC-own built in functionality.
[Android Head-Units] LinkseD:
I just compared these because the functionality is the same. The currently playing sound needs to be turned down and a warning be played, after back to the previous volume.

So FCC should work like the blitzer app.

Ill enable it on the way home from work and see if anything happens on the latest alpha.
[Android Head-Units] Shadow128:
Hi everyone

Some time ago I'd already tested FCC Launcher, but on my PX5 with Hal9k Rom I'd some problems that PowerAmp didn't keep the position when ignition was off or didn't start after ignition.

Meanwhile I configured Tasker to automatically synchronize the MP3 content to the internal storage after ignition on and mounted SD card. At least PowerAmp only plays from the internal storage. Without FCC it is running for 99% stable, so now I want to test FCC again.

Therefore I would like to ask a few questions:

- Does FCC Launcher use parts of Tasker internally or can I use Tasker in parallel without problems?

- Does Poweramp v2 or v3 work better with FCC?

- DAB-Z is supported without problems?

- Is it possible to integrate the CD or DVD app into the FCC?

- During the last test, the possible players were listed below the cover image, but the active player was shown a second time. Is it possible to configure FCC so that only two (or three) entries are displayed and only the active one is highlighted in blue?

That should have been all the questions.

Many thanks in advance :)
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Thanks Rigattoni -- so it's not just me :)

Wonder why it does not work for us, but works for SpeedFire

---------- Post added at 10:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 AM ----------

Two things I am still looking for to add to my FCC launcher in the car.

(1) A WIdget (GPS based) COMPASS (analogue or digital - simple graphics - I just want to know what (general) direction I am traveling in, without having to have the whole screen filled with a GPS Map)

(2) A Battery Voltage Widget (The FCC one knows it may not work, and guess what, it does not work in my Eonon Px5 Head unit.)

I have lost count of how many times I have been sitting in the car, playing with FCC, with engine off, and the battery has died on me. A decent Digital battery Voltage Widget, with a low voltage alarm, would be a great addition.

Maybe someone knows of suitable Widgets that already exist, before asking SpeedFire- to consider creating them especially for FCC.
[Android Head-Units] ab1702:
Can you not get the battery voltage in the notification bar at the top of the unit?

If you have a px5 and the mcu is up to date you should be able to get it I think. I have a GS mcu and I think its in car settings or extra settings on the actual unit and then when activated it shows in the top bar.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Thanks ... No, I cannot even get it at the Top Notification bar..

FCC has a Battery Voltage widget, but it does not work with the my P5X. I suspect it may have been developer earlier, prior to FCC supporting the P5X.

More to the point, I am looking for a battery Voltage Widget that will alarm if the voltage drops below a user adjustable level. ie before the Battery gets so low, it cannot start the car !!

Hi -- did a little investigating into the mp3 files used by FCC for the Speed alerts.

5 of the mp3 files are corrupt.

This may not be why the others are not playing, but those 5 are corrupt, according to VLC player.

Also, some of the other mp3 are very very low level.

Did some more test with two Mp3 verifiers...

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

I'm reporting a bug about the default screen.page.

I have 3 pages. The default page is the 2°.

In the settings i've deselected the checkbox "return always to the default page".

If I receive (or make) a call when the current page is the 3, when the call ends --> Fcc launcher goes to the default page (the 2°).

This behavior happens also :

- after a rear camera activation

- Radio/AD2B switch on/off by a icon button

Can you fix ?

[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

If you would like to post good versions of those 5 corrupted Mp3 files, maybe I can save you a little time by cleaning all the Mp3s up to the same bitrate etc, normalize them, clean up their Meta data etc...and then post them back to you.

It's a small thing that I am able to do, and if it saves you some time for other bug fixing, I would be pleased to do so to help.
[Android Head-Units] tonimontoia:
this launcher has become unusable, it opens and closes a thousand times before it starts up, it is no longer possible to use, but it is not better to remove all these rubbish and make it work without so much crap
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
May be it´s better you just delete FCC and stop posting your crap in here.

You are not forced to use the Alpha versions. Just stop now. Your postings are completely without any useful content.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
[MOD EDIT: quoted post removed]

As rigattoni syas : If you want Stability -- use "Released" version.

If you want to take part in Testing and help in the future development of FCC, try the Alpha & Beta versions, and report back any "Bugs" in a "POSITIVE" way so the developer can fix any newly created issues.

In the meanwhile, I am excited to see what the next Alpha/beta brings us .... always a great adventure when they appear :)

When i use Radio Station Logos they are to big. How can I center that?
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
I use a standard size Jpg, that has the resolution that closely matches that of its final image size on the display. ie 600 x 600

I also set the display NOT to be the circle, so it is Square, and therefore does not cut off any of the text in the corners of the Logo Image.
[Android Head-Units] tonimontoia:
where did you get logos with this 600x600 resolution?
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
I just resized mine with an online image resizer. I used THIS site and it worked well. Go to Resize and there is a place you can manually enter the resolution.

[Android Head-Units] Junde:
Is it possibly get feature that radio station logo depends on RDS info (station name)? Now logo is pointed to exact Mhz and that works if you stay small area. Longer travers that Mhz not stay same for all time so logo doesnt work.

Or does anybody know what intent radio app send RDS info? I can try to catch it Tasker and make my own widget with logos (or even try :) ).

Please could you give us a brief update and timescale, on where thing stand with fixing the bugs in the latest Alpha. (ie High crashing rate & Overspeed speed alarm audio issues)

I am currently running the latest Alpha, and can (for a while) live with the Crashes, and the occasional stuttering of the Mp3 player.

If its going to be some time before a fix ( and I appreciate that a Fix might take quite some time and a lot of work ), then I might consider going back to a more stable version for a while ( although I hate to loose the very well working Street names and speed limit detection that is in the latest Alpha :))

[Android Head-Units] bossman4:
I have been holding back on any alpha updates since I was out of pocket and wanted to wait to see what the internal map inclusion did. So I have no experience on the latest versions.

I did want to mention something though that I think is significant.

Amazon has released the HD and UltraHD version of their music player. Since you can download tracks to your android radio (when there is lack of wifi) you can accumulate the days' listening on the internal memory.

The paid catalog is very large and it is free to try for 90 days with a reasonable charge after that. There is a utility to copy playlists and album data from Spotify or Title (6.99 for a month subscription. Just need to do it once.

This makes it a more than comparable offering to Spotify. I am planning on switching. One problem Though...….

FCC does not seem to list Amazon Music on the Quicklist of players...….at least when I was looking at the options to trade it for Spotify. I did not turn the power off to see if FCC would recognize the new App after startup.

Am I missing something. I know I added FM Player (Podcast App) to the FCC Quicklist and it had no problem, so maybe the radio just needs a reset.

By the way, my EONON has the DSP chip in it and it sounds really good with the Ultra HD cuts.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Sorry for a delay. I am back from vacation and recently had less time for the Launcher because of my main work.

Here is a new alpha in which speed warnings should respect audio focus. Please try:

FCC Launcher Alpha 3.276
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Welcome back from vacation.

Unfortunately, Alpha 3.276 has not correct the problem.

FCC starts, and mp3 music is playing at a given volume.

On selection of any of the Overspeed sounds, the volume drops to about 50% (GOOD)

But no Alarm plays, and from there forward, the only thing that will restore the Mp3 music to its original volume is re-starting FCC.

As soon as FCC closes, volume is restored.

--------- Further testing ----

This happens for Blackplayer, Poweamp and Spotify.

However, if the Radio is playing, the sound does NOT go to 50% when an Alarm sound is selected - stays at 100%.

If Mp3 player is playing and sound goes to 50%, then selecting radio will restore the sound to 100% !!! (same as a re-start)

Hopes this helps and give you some clues as to what might be going wrong (I suspect those that had this same issue with the previous Alpha, will also find that the issue is not fixed) :(

Hopefully someone else who also experiences this, is Rooted, and can get you a log. (Hint Hint)

[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Please send me your TPMS app which plays sound on your device.

I assume the problem could be with a custom sound selection.

Here is the version to test in which sound is hard coded (beep1 is always selected for overspeed warning).

[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

THANK YOU :)

That's it --- with this version, the sound plays perfectly when driving :)

( But messes up when trying to make a selection, as expected)

While you are working on this, could I make two requests, based on using this in practice on the road.

(1)

Please add an option in the Alarm Sound menu to switch from Speed Delta to % Delta ( Can keep same Delta range 0 - 40)

In may case % over-speed is more useful.

ie a 10 mph overspeed at 70mph is small, but a 10mph overspeed at 20mph is very significant as you are then going 50% faster.

So, can you add a selector. Absolute Speed / % Speed

Example: Here in the USA, there is an accepted 10% overspeed acceptance, before a speeding ticket is normally issues

(2) Add "Continuous Alarm" slider, in seconds (maybe 0 - 60 seconds)

This is the delay between repeats of the sound, when Continuous is selected.

Reason: The REPEATED REMINDER is good to keep you are aware you are still exceeding speed limit, but maybe not quite so Continuously !!

This will also make setting the Delta "lower", less objectionable when stuck in fast (overspeeding traffic).

Fixed the Mp3 files that were not zero length (ie That were fixable)

Also made them all same Samplerate (44100 Hz) & Bitrate (128K)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Thank you! In this alpha:

- I inserted your sounds.

- Tried to make sound selection dialog work

- Selected sounds will hopefully work now.

I had no time to implement your other suggestions yet

FCC Launcher Alpha 3.278
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Progress :)

They are now selectable, BUT when they get selected, the sound plays and the volume goes to 50% and stays there.

It is then necessary to restart FCC to get sound back to the original volume, and the correct sound has been selected.

When 1st selecting, the current name is %s ;)

Thereafter, it displays the Mp3 name after 1st selection

There is still one mp3 that is zero length.

I assume you just overwrote your Mp3 with mine , and since I had deleted that zero length one in my set, your zero length one did not get overwritten ??

As it stands at the moment, it is Usable, provided one Restarts FCC after making any sound selection.

Unfortunately, I suspect there is still some issues in this bit of the code, and FCC re-stars VERY Often when in this sound selection menu.

=======================

So I made a new Mp3 to replace the zero length one, and also went through them all, and did some Sound Editing on every one, which I think has improved them. ( I know Improvement is very "subjective !!)

None of them are the same as the original now, so I change the Meta Tags on them all to be "FCC Sound Effects" ;)

I just have a Pumpkin 10.1" unit with Android 9 for testing and review purposes.

They once again opened the door for new apk regarding radio, BT and so on.

We are talking about units with a new mainboard and MCU-Version starting with CSN2_*******

FCC itself is working great with it, just the Player widgets don´t recognize the radio app.

If I open it by tasker it´s called:

com.my.radio.RadioActivity

and is part of the com.car.ui

Would you please be so kind and add the app to the list of available player, or do you need some more information?
[Android Head-Units] liamstears:
Is this different to radio on current units? What firmware versions you have installed? Screenshot of app? Thanks

Hi speedfire

When you were away I think you missed my message

I love FCC by the way and thank you for all your hard work

Would it be possible to change background colour of speed limit widget? In the UK we have white signs with black writing and red border so I would like to have this instead?

Also TPMS seems very unstable for me, it seems only to work if I have storebao tpms app installed and also it only works when it feels like it, most times it does not work and even unplugging and replugging it still does not work but storebao app seems to reinitialise it. Works on full reboot buy not after turning car off and on

[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

Overspeed Alarms are Working very well now in Alpha 3.279-- great job

Selection works, and plays , without keeping current audio reduced in volume after playing, or crashing FCC

Both added features work as expected. :)

Only remaining issue is that currently perc.mp3 is still the original zero-length file, so it crashes FCC if selected.

Attached is a new mp3 zip, with all the Mp3 valid, and about 6 extra ones, that I think some my like ( I do).

They also all have Ver3 in Meta, and a date set to 12:03 (ie Rev 3) (so they are easily identifiable and tracked)

Next time you are doing changes, you might like to delete all the current Mp3s, and just add the ones from this new zip ... if they meet with your approval.

ATTACHED mp3-ver3.zip

------------------

At some time later, maybe it will be possible for users to add their own Mp3 alarm sound ?? (maybe put them in a specified FCC-Alarm directory ?)

Thank you for getting the Speed Alarm system to work so well, and for making it such a high priority. Very much appreciated as this is a feature I have been looking forward to seeing implemented for some time.

=====================

I know that I, and many other keep bombarding you with request to ADD new features, but as someone that used FCC every day, could I suggest that currently a high priority should be placed on stopping all the FCC Re-starts, that seem to have developed in FCC since about the time major Updates to the Map were done.

While they well may not be related, a few moths ago, FCC was reasonably stable, and seldom crashed -- now it seems to want to re-start almost every time anything is changed or selected :(
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Good point. But let's just be clear with terminology (for me to better understand the cause of issue):

- Crash - is when a window pops up with a message that FCC Launcher stopped working and needs to be restarted. This is a real crash.

- Launcher Restart - no windows pop up but you see an FCC Logo on a black screen and reset of a launcher. This mostly happens when Launcher identifies two instances of itself and removes both with the following restart.

Probably you mostly see restarts. If so I will still try to investigate this and try to reduce them.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:

Thanks -- Installed, but something is very ODD

perc.mp3 and whoop1.mp3 are both ZERO Bytes in the "raw" directory

All other files are fine.

In the ZIP file I last sent, that you obviously used, as the meta says ver3 in ALL the mp3, in that zip, and in the zip, those two files are NOT zero bytes !!

It would seem that somehow, when the files are transferred in Android studio (or somewhere else), they are getting corrupted and set to zero byte length.

VERY STRANGE -- Very Unexpected -- but whatever is causing this, may well be why there have always been some zero byte mp3 files in the raw directory, from the first introduction of the Alarm sounds.

Now they are in Android Studio, do you currently see them there as ZERO Byte files ?? ( I seem them as zero in the apk )

BTW: Both perc.mp3 and whoop1.mp3 are particularly nice new sounds :crying:
