Hi,

The last few days I have been testing the app on my mobile phone to find out the dynamics of use and I must say that it is extremely configurable (even complex with so much adjustment).

One of the things that I can't figure out is the adjustment of the size of the widgets. I would like the space it occupies to be the size of the icon by default, but when I create a new widget the box is very large and scrolls the widgets created by the Launcher.Is there a setting to make the box fit the widget icon size every time?

Thanks for your great work.

Is there any way to get the Audacy App added as one of the Players? Or how do we add any player to the widget? Also not sure the SiriusXm app is grabbing album art like it used to. Any ideas on that?

Want to add TPMS to my current car but want it to be compatible with FCC, what TPMS is compatible with FCC?

EDIT: Currently looking at Deelife MU9F sensors...

This is app they use: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.syt.tmps&hl=en

Can anyone tell me which TPMS system with internal sensors is compatible with the widget that FCC has built in please. I have the Xtrons system and one sensor has already died. It is not compatible with TPMS FCC, so I want to change. Thank you
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
I fear you won´t find any tire-inside TPMS, which will work with your head unit.
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
@rigattoni Thanks for the heads up. That's disappointing. Internal is much more accurate. :(
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
We need to wait until @SpeedFire_ is back in business.

I really hope this will be soon.
[Android Head-Units] GnFgr:
Deelife tpms with internal sensors is compatible with fcc tpms program.

But....

The program usually hangs and either does not connect to sensors or shows low pressure.

Restarting the program dies not fix this. Only restarting the unit does and sometimes even that fails.

Dear member, with FCC launcher, I've noticed that the default 360 app starts it recordings to usb stick very late about 2 -3mins after each startup or initialization. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks

On my Teyes CC3 the launcher always gets killed.

View attachment 5902181finally my Phoenix Radio PX6 looks and works the way I want it to. Thanks to everyone responsible for this awesome launcher.
[Android Head-Units] Trayal:
T'eyes likes to force you into their software, so no matter how many times you set the default launcher they will switch it back to whatever is in their config.

I have corrected this on my CC3 by:

1. Using gordgelin's free modded CC3 firmware, which includes root access.

2. Editing the launcher line in the config.txt in the firmware package before flashing to set the default launcher to FCC. THe line will look like this:

ro.fyt.launcher = ru.speedfire.flycontrolcenter

3. Using root access and root explorer, deleting or renaming the files for the existing stock launchers, leaving FCC as the only valid launcher on the system.

It's likely that steps 1 and 2 are all that's needed to ensure that FCC launcher is what loads on boot, and loads on home command and stays as the default... but In my case i threw in step 3 just to be sure. FCC has stayed the launcher this way for several months now on my setup.

I have also used the tool, 'FytHWOneKey' to fix button bindings for navigation and music apps so that my steering wheel buttons go to my custom apps instead of stock (neutron for music and waze for navi).

Good luck.

Hi guys !

OP tks for the great work, I want to go premium, but I tried here on my phone ( Samsung Note 10+ and Fire HD 8 tablet) to learn.

But on both devices I cannot change the icons, no matter what pack I use or if I apply to all the system or on individual apps. What can I do to solve that issue?

Tks.

ps - I searched here and found a post from 2020 with the same issue.

[Android Head-Units] F_sergik83:
Извиняться. Суть проблемы заключается в том, что во время первоначальной настройки приложение запрашивает разрешение на создание и установку виджета. Таким образом, это окно не появляется на автомагнитоле, вы не можете настроить его соответствующим образом и использовать его тоже. Как решить такую проблему.

Mod translation: Apologize. The essence of the problem is that during the initial setup, the application asks for permission to create and install a widget. So this window doesn't appear on the car radio, you can't set it up properly and use it too. How to solve such a problem.

[Android Head-Units] F_sergik83:
the message says literally create a widget and allow access? When you create a widget, the FCC application gets access to all its data. and the checkbox to allow it or not
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Answering now to the Mod-translation...

You can close the window and just long press on a free field in Fcc and choose widget. Then, just choose one, hold it pressed and move it side wards. It will then be placed on the main screen. Then you should get this pop-up again and then allow Fcc to create widgets. That should fix your issue.

Hi !

The altitude widget gives an incorrect value when I connect my android head unit (a PX6 android 10) to my phone to have internet.

Does anyone know how to prevent this?
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Don´t expect a correct altitue if you try to get it via internet. The only way to get half way correct altitude is to use GPS data.... and yes the altitude is mostly incorrect. May be interessting to read: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=QPc5x3ZFUv1QyoxITW2vZ6

Edit: In the past we had a correction multiplier to gete mostly correct altitude data on the screen, but this was mostly 15 years ago with Win CE5. I don´t know if the hight is now calculated based on the georoid correction factor
[Android Head-Units] zewat:
Thanks for reply.

Indeed, the altitude is correct for me without using the internet.

The ideal would be to have in FFC Car Launcher, a parameter which leaves the choice to use or not internet for this widget.

Hi there,

I have just had a Joying JY-UQS11N4G-GT head unit fitted to my van and I would like to be able to make the most of FCC Car Launcher on it. The problem is that I have no idea what chipset I should set the systems settings.

Is anybody able to let me know how I go about finding the right chipset I should use.

Hello, this has been happening to me for a few weeks: I have the minimap and it shows the maximum speed of the road, when I exceed that maximum speed according to the GPS of the minimap, the radio volume goes down, but it does not return if I do not restart or audio application switching.

FCC Launcher : 3.900 (pro)

Manufacturer: MTK

Model: XTRONS_IA

Device: spm8667p1_64

Android: 12

I would like to use MapBox Offline for the map in the FCC Launcher, but i can't load the mbtiles files.

1) FCC Settings

2) Display (Anzeige)

3) Map (Karte)

4) Select "MapBox Offline"

5) Click on "offline maps download" (Offline-Karten herunterladen)

6) Select the option to load a mbtiles file from USB stick

7) Select mbtiles file

Nothing happens. FCC Launcher returns immediately back into the map settings and no file name is displayed.

When i try to download a map in FCC Launcher, i end on a page from MapTiler to sign in, but there is no way to sign in.

How can I motivate FCC Launcher to load the offline maps ?

I saw older posts mention a path "sdcard/download/FCC_Launcher/...". My device has not a sdcard.

copy the map file to: sdcard/Android/data/ru.speedfire.flycontrolcenter/files/Download/tiles/

restart the launcher and it should work
[Android Head-Units] manhart:
Thanks for the hint. I don't see the entry point 'sdcard' on my device. I will try to find this place and test it.
[Android Head-Units] nimslo:
Many android devices also designate the internal memory as "sdcard". If your device doesn't, just search for "Android" on the lowest level of the internal memory, click on it and then successively on "data", "ru.speedfire.flycontrolcenter", "files", "download" and "tiles". Copy the Maptiles file from your USB stick to this "tiles" folder. Then restart the launcher and that's it.
[Android Head-Units] manhart:
I found the location and FCC was able to load the map data. Thanks.
[Android Head-Units] mclellan83:
So I am having multiple issues, I would say the most intrusive is the fact the GPS won't show anything on the screen the majority of the time. I have tried to reinstall the data on it but says that its corrupted when trying to download from their site. The other issue is that as you see they are showing completely different times and dates, eventually they sync up but not sure why it does that. Then the last thing is that the bottom unit should have that bottom row to be able to change the volume and rotate the screen but for some reason it is on the top one that really doesn't need it. Any idea how to get that on the bottom unit?

Hi, I have been using fcc car launcher on a vertical headunit (Ownice PX5, Android 10) for quite a while. I have now completely reinstalled everything. Unfortunately, I can no longer access the submenus in the settings (Connections, Display, ....). I have the same problem on my smartphone. However, the submenus appear when I turn the smartphone from vertical to horizontal.

So I just installed my first android head unit so on a steep learning curve. Firstly love this launcher .. so thanks for the great work. I did purchase the launcher to get full range of widgets and functionality but having a couple of issues I am hoping you may be able to help with

- TPMS My TMPs is working via TMP software, however, I can't seem to get FCC TPMs to detect. Anything I can try or just out of luck with support?

- ODB2 I am keen to get some ODB2 metrics into the launcher, there seems to be a discussion about it but I can't find a ODB2 widget, is there any support for it?
[Android Head-Units] virtualnomad:
Just further to this (although unsure if it helps) the TPMs runs an app called anr TPMs… it has a us dongle.

Unsure if there is some logging or info I can provide to understand toubleshoot
[Android Head-Units] Vardeno:
Hi everyone.

Is there a way to add the mobile data as a widget? Like the wifi widget, but with mobile data. Or do you know any widget that works with the style of the launcher to show that info?
[Android Head-Units] GrzegorzPoland:
Hello everyone.

Is it possible to add another map?

I mean Janosik applications.

It is very popular in Poland!
[Android Head-Units] TG_:
In the player+radio widget we have forward (>>) and rewind (<<) buttons, my radio will scan when I press them, same as in the radio app itself.

The radio app has also previous (|<) and next (>|) buttons who will change to next saved station.

Is there a way to control previous/next from the widget??

I tried making að icon with action "Next fm station" but it also scans.

edit: Switched to NavRadio+ and it works perfectly.
[Android Head-Units] grzegorz.u:
Great launcher. 👍

IMHO, it's the best one.
[Android Head-Units] ElIT3ShOOT3R:

Is it safe to assume fcc launcher has been abandoned? The creator hasn't been seen in quite some time and the app hasn't had any of its many reported bugs fixed.

If so, does anyone have any sensible alternatives? Alternatively we could see if we could get the author to open source it. Let us fix them ourselves. This has so much potential.

Hi all!

There were some questions in the meantime. Sorry for not answering them.

The main answer is: Yes, the project is on hold for now, as I'm involved into other projects.

However it may be resumed in the future when I have more free time.

I hope that it is quite usable in the form it is now in Play Store and everyone can use it successfully as is. I use it myself in my car every day :)

Best regards!
[Android Head-Units] okij:
@SpeedFire- Big thanks for your post and informing us about the current state.

I'm also using the current version on a daily basis and it's running very fine here.

From your post I get that you are fine, which is great.

Take care and stay safe. :) Hopefully you'll resume the FCC development some day in the future, as it is a great launcher.
[Android Head-Units] virtualnomad:
Thanks for the warning.
[Android Head-Units] virtualnomad:
I was wondering about something similar ... other members have been helpful, but I am curious as to whether the app is still being actively supported and looking to continue to develop. That being said I haven't found anything as good yet :-)

Feel a little stupid looks like I posted my comment shortly after this asking the same question. Thanks for the update on the state of play, while i am working through a couple of issues, over all love the app. Thanks for the work on it and look forward to what may lay head down the track.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
I think this is related to the SW of the TPMS app itself.

some SW needs to keep the focus and is not working in the background as expected. May be there is a setting available in the rights management to enable the background usage.

@SpeedFire- Great to hear that this project is not dead as this is the best launcher I have tried as it can be costomised the way you like it.

One idea I have if you get back at it is to have a browser widget, just borderless browser windows which you can define the url. I have arduino webserver which shows webpage with obd, temp sensors and more data which I would love to show in a widget.

Hi..

I have only just found FCC and I think it's great. It has great features.

I would like to add Poweramp playlists on one of the screens so I can quickly switch between them. But when I try to add a playlist by going through the options the playlist icon is never added to the page.. can somone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

[Android Head-Units] highlandsun:
I'm using Musicolet app for playing my local music files (because it's one of few apps with album shuffle). When FCC is first setup, it all works fine and track info is displayed in the music player window. But after shutting off the car and coming back later, the track info stays blank even though playing is still fine. Anyone know how to workaround this and get track info back?
[Android Head-Units] pdedinski:
I have this not only with Musicolet.. I use Musicolet as well, but I get same behavior with foobar2000 (has decent shuffle and replay-gain support and scan as well, completely free) and PowerAmp..

I have this behavior after OS reboot .. When I let my headunit just to go to sleep mode, not shut-down itself it just works perfectly.. The track info actually does not stay blank for me, but text size is set to 1 .. I think this is a bug, but I don't think it will be resolved anytime soon.. Anyway .. If you have the option of setting your headunit to go to sleep, instead of power off, it should work. I get this on OS boot/reboot. Haven't find a way to workaround it, other than just setting the device to go to sleep instead of shutdown.
[Android Head-Units] highlandsun:
Thanks for the info. Usually my device just goes to sleep. I'll try to pay attention more to see if it works properly after a reboot. Otherwise I might go back to Vivid launcher, which doesn't have this problem.
