Thank you for raising this issue! I couldn't even think that this may happen.

Files were completely fine in my raw folder. However it turns out that ProGuard (Android Studio obfuscation tool) may corrupt some files during releasing the signed apk as described here.

I solved this issue by adding keep.xml file. Now it looks fine.

Please test: FCC Launcher Alpha 3.281

FANTASTIC -- Good find.

Now works PERFECTLY ...

Thank you so much -- 3 alpha updates in 12 hours is very impressive

I can't get a custom skin to work. I just modded one of the existing skins so it's the correct resolution at 1024x600 and file format is .PNG. I go to custom skin, select my file, it looks like FCC is doing it's thing and it restarts FCC but nothing ever shows up... Is there something I'm missing??

Does anyone have some good custom skins they want to share?

Has anyone (apart from SpeedFire- ) tried running FCC in Android Studio ?

I spent more than a few hours this weekend, installing and playing with Android Studio and ended up getting the latest FC Alpha running in the Android Studio Emulator, really, just to see if I could.

AMAZING ... runs very much in the same in my "novice" Android Studio setup, as it does on my Head unit .. with a few obvious hardware items missing.

Its very complex !!! (understatement )

What I found interesting is that many of the Player issues I see when it is running normally on my Head Unit, seem to be exactly the same as when run in the emulator. This give me great hope that these issues will eventually all be resolved.

Not yet attempted to connect my actual Hardware Head Unit to Android Studio, but I assume that is possible, and then get a Log from the setup, even if my Head Unit is not rooted ??

I don't want to fill this forum with Android Studio stuff, but if anyone else is messing with Android Studio & FCC, and would like to correspond in PM, please feel free to PM me.

Potential new user

Hi, Great to see a very active forum. I came here by recommendation. My head unit is an XTRONS TB706PL. It is working fine but I would like to streamline it a bit. The worst thing is the built in Bluetooth dialer. It works but functions are basic. According to your description on the Play Store this launcher offers an opportunity to use a different contact app and dial from it. But this feature is only available in the premium version so I cant test it. Do may other users use this feature? Is it reliable?

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
You CAN test this feature in a free version - 10 attempts to call are available until premium is required.

Most likely, I do not have a clue of what I am talking about, but I noticed when I was having issues with the Players Artwork not updating from previous player, that I kept seeing the following Exception error in LogCat

A BUG in Android 6.0 allowed you to keep data in "secure settings" but it was fixed in later versions, where you cannot..

So while you could get away with this up to Android 6, now you cannot in later versions.

Nevermind, I figured it out. You can't do it on a blank page. Would still love it people would share their skins!!

Oh! Thats good. I just saw it in the list of premium features and thought I would not be able to use it. Thanks - I will test it tomorrow.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
A short announcement. Users reported to me that it is not possible to make a Premium purchase on the latest alphas. I don't know the exact reason but it seems that Google has released a new version of in-app billing library. Maybe something stopped working now for the previous realizations of in-app billing (like ours).

Anyway this will be my top priority now (obviously) to migrate to the new billing library. I hope new library will also make it possible not to request access to the user's contacts to process in-app purchase (like I had to do previously, this access was required just to get user's google account name and then check purchase of Premium)

This is really good that you reproduced the issue. Now I need to reproduce it? Can you show me what is your emulator setup and show me the issue itself on video? Maybe you will also need to send me your mp3s. Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
You can use PX5.

There are only some minor restrictions as far as I could see.

Radio app is not supported yet

BT-Chip is not supported, but you are able to call by voice using Google.

Additional steering wheel buttons are not supported. You need to live with the ones provided by Joying

That´s it so far.

At least no real blocking issues.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
I don't think the issues are anything to do with my specific Mp3s.

The same failure to update the artwork occurs when switching between Google Music & Amazon Music.

In the Emulator, looking at the LogCat, I see a large number of Exceptions happening and items failing. But then it APPEARS to works in a very similar way in the Emulator to how it works on the Hardware, so I don't think that all the issue I am seeing in the Emulator, are Emulator specific, due to poor emulation.

The exception that particularly got my attention was the one listed in the LogCat I posted earlier today.

Need help

Hi! I recently installed the FCC Premium version (from Google Play) and I'm impressed with the options and customising it. However, I fail to understand how to set it to initiate voice calls through Google Assistent. Can someone help me with a step-by-step tutorial, which includes everything I need to set in the launcher and possibly indicate to me what other apps do I need to install? I specify that my unit is mounted on a Renault Fluence and has the following features:

Witson, Rockchip PX5, Device RK 3368, Board Rk30sdk, 4 GB RAM, 32 GB Flash, Android 9, kernel 4.4.167, MCU version MTCE_MX_v3. 06_1 Jan 24 2019.

P. S. Thank you in advance and please excuse my English.
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
First make sure your phone and head unit you are connected via Bluetooth. Then you need to go into FCC settings -> Connections -> Calls via phone -> Set up this app as default for calls -> (Here it should pop up prompts with instructions) Select the phone icon next to the 3 dots and make sure FCC is selected -> Select a contact from your contacts list -> Then press the blue phone icon on the lower right (If you can't press the blue phone icon, you need to go re-select FCC again) and it should make a call and your all set.

IF it doesn't, you need to go back and select a different Bluetooth version, I use V6 with mine, although I'm not sure the playstore version has V6 (head unit in my specs).
[Android Head-Units] Reuseu:
Still problems

I followed exactly the steps you indicate. I tried all versions of Bluetooth, but it does not work. Google Assistent says it calls the contact but exits the main screen without calling the person. Maybe you need other settings... I noticed through the FCC settings that there is something related to ActionVoice. Does this option have to be checked or not? Or has it nothing to do with it? The Play Store version has the V6 option. I know, I ask too many questions, but voice dialing is even useful when you drive. Thanks!

Hello to all

i want to purchase the app....

i am with Intel processor so i have some questions

1 - i am on trial version and having a lot difficulties setting up --- are there any already made interfaces i can use?

2 - can i change the name of the App?

3 - can i auto-start an app - in this case HTTP injector

4 - can the map on the right be Waze?

5 - is it foreseen the full support of intel units?

thanks a lot and sorry for the questions
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
You just need some time to get into it. Choose a nearly prepared one.

For what reason?

Yes

I don´t know, because I don´t use this widget.

There is no blocker to use Intel units.

Just that the player widget just now does not support FM radio (can be started with a button, but the widget does not give any information)

The dialer needs to be chosen in Google, because a brand new BT chip has been used in these units.

I think that [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] will check it sometimes and provide an update with the needed Implementation, but as far as I can say, there is no further restriction.... at least no important one.

I use FCC since a couple of time now on different Units and one of these units is a Joying with Intel chipset.

3. Brightness adjust screen doesnt work.

4. Pressing the arrow to buy premium gives me an async error.

5. So i know Google been ****ting on everyone with their app permissions, but is it still able to get the navigation route displayed on the minimap?

Thx in advance.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
About the app name, I don´t think that it would be possible.

There is Autostart in the settings menu.

No, I think nothing to help, just some remarks that it is not fully adapted. There is nothing missing so far, because you have workarounds for now.

...and Yes I have an Intel unit just now in my car without any problems (I just don´t use the test version in car. I use them on the bench)

You don´t need to change any settings in PX5. The used BT-stack is not available.

You can connect 1 phone and 1 OBD, but not 2 phones at the same time.

Been Driving around the past few days, checking out the Speed Alarms.

The actual alarm sounds, and when they play etc , seems to be working 100% correctly now. :)

The remaining issue is, that sometimes FCC does know the correct speed limit, so either does not update the speed limits, or sometime times just display a dash, even though the road still has a speed limit.

So, is FCC getting incorrect data, or is FCC not getting any data at all, or is FCC not even asking for new data. ?? :confused:

Maybe a small STATUS color light (or status text) could be added to the Speed Limit widget, below or above the speed, to indicate state of the Speed Limit data.

Suggestion:-

Green - Got data when last requested

Yellow - Requesting Data - waiting on reply

Red - Requested Data but did not get anything. (Timeout)

Flashing Red: Data not updated for ?? seconds, or ?? meters (?? whatever is reasonable)

and some distinction between (Received Data saying NO speed Limit) & (Unable to update speed limit) .

BTW: Driving around with this working, and hearing the Audible alarm when I overspeed by too much, has been an eye opener as to how much I tend to overspeed. :rolleyes:

Should encourage me to be a safer driver .. or at last not be so vulnerable to getting speeding tickets

So "Thank You"

I get masses of Exception errors, and warnings, some look pretty serious with things not working as expected when switching between players.

Often Artwork, and or Artist/Song stops updating, does not update when switching players.

Players I used were Spotify, Google Music, and Radio FM (streaming), but it does not seem to make any difference what players are used, FCC still does not update correctly, and seems to get "CONFUSED".

If on a given player, and the other two are CLOSED, then FCC seems to be able to handle just one player OK, and updates correctly.

Note: Clean Install of FCC, and apart from adding the Player apps from Google Store, everything else is a simple as possible, with very few changes to the default FCC configuration.

Problems present with even a very basic/default setup, so no need to Restore my Multipage FCC Backed-up settings,, to see these issues.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Please read what I wrote...

Until the BT-Stack is supported there is nothing to be set.

Wait until [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] has implemented the stack support. If this has been done in a while you can choose the correct one.

You won´t have any restrictions, because your unit is able to start a call by voice using Google.

Hi, I just installed a PX5, and have tried a couple of launchers, and so far FCC Launcher looks like what I am looking for! Looks really awesome. Thanks Speedfire for building this! It can't be easy!

I have been slowly wading through the 427 Pages of post on this thread, but I was wondering if there is a FAQ posted anywhere on how to set FCC up? Most of it seems straight forward, but I'm really interested in getting the calling and texting working. Any suggestions on where to start?

FCC Launcher 3.287
[Android Head-Units] y2imm:
Folks, new to this launcher, I love it, but that clock screen is really aggravating. I just want the skin I selected, no switching back to the clock screen. How do I do that?
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
3.287 is looking good.

Switching between Quickplayer is improved (but still need a number of selections between players after a restart, before everything sync up, and the artwork & Text changes correctly .. but once it has settled down, it works correctly. :)

FCC seems to run "smoother" in this version -- one way I judge that is by looking at scrolling text in the Player widget for Artist or song.

In this version, once FCC "settles down" after restarting, the text Scrolling is a lot smoother, which, to me, indicates that things are working better within FCC. :good:

One new symptom with this version, since the Playstore Purchase code was updated, is that the yellow UP Arrow in the bottom right had corner (which I seem to recall was the icon to puchase the PRO), now flashes on/off a number of times before FCC settles down, ( no matter if Head Unit has Internet connection or not). Not a big deal, it eventually stops displaying if Pro version, but it did not use to do that before the update.

(It did not do that prior to the Playstore purchase code update)

Also, in FCC settings, some Items are marked as PRO, and some as PREMIUM.

I am assuming that really they are the same thing, so maybe the text should be updated to be consistent (one or the other)

In some widgets, the sliders got updated some time ago, to also have UP/Down controls. (This made adjustments far easier).

There are still some widgets with slider that have not been updated to have UP/Down controls. Having ALL slider have UP/Down controls make setting these a lot easier, and be consistent.

For me, this version is the BEST so far .. Thanks for all the hard work.

What I am searching for is the option to get the outside temperature not via a weather service but via the CAN-bus. My headunit shows this already in the task bar but each launcher uses the temperature from a weather service.

1. Routing in minimap works very well with google maps (with API key), unfortunately the numerical route summary does not display anything. This only works with yandex maps. Unfortunately, in Poland these maps are only for use in large cities. Is there a chance it will work with google maps?

2. The speed limit indications are very inaccurate. They often do not display anything and also show false data. On my street for two years the speed limit is 60 km / h, and the widget shows stubbornly 50 km / h. I am aware that this is data downloaded from OSM, but maybe there are other, better methods to download this data? (e.g., waze).

Maybe it could be set so that the widget displays the last restriction data all the time, even when there is no such data after driving into, for example, the next street? Or maybe in the absence of such data and driving still the same street displayed the last restriction received from the server, until receiving a new one?

3. There is a small problem with the album cover after exiting the system screensaver. The radio station icon appears instead of the active player

ps

Thank you for a great job, I do not regret a penny spent on the application :)
