That was just rhe name of app that the Atoto one recommend but since yours works with the manufacturer app there may be something missing in how FCC TPMS is communicating.

The widget is definitely worth it and one of the reasons I got hooked on FCC.

If the usb port switching doesn't work maybe a logcat when opening the FCC tpms app fresh will tell SpeedFire something?

On my FF5000 autobrightness doesn't work at all,

I think the volume by speed also ...

the KMH widget is working but sometimes when I stop at the lights it still shows the speed and it takes about 45sec before it goes to 0.

Radio FM seems fine - but only while it sees the orginal apps (hardcoded - Agama didnt handle them)

altimeter

Hey, first post here. Love the FCC launcher. One issue, the altimeter widget displays in meters and I'd like it to display in feet. Can't find any setting to change. I'm sure it's something I'm overlooking. Any help?

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Edit the FCC Altitude widget. there is a check box to tell the widget to display in Feet. make sure it is Checked ( has a tick in it)

Anyone is using Alexa to listen music in his car? Unfortunately, Alexa doens't call Amazon Music then is not usable from media player widget of FCC

do you use the Alexa App on the HU or an Echo Auto (dedicated Echo device for cars)?!?
[Android Head-Units] tigert10:
Thanks for your reply. The stand alone altitude widget has an option for feet, the one that I was using was the three icons side by side that you can select and when you select the altitude as one of the three icons there isn't an option for feet. Thanks for your help!

My issue is that when I turn the vehicle key off and then back on the HU starts very quickly but FCC doesn't load until the home button is pressed then it starts up with the splash screen logo. I am using a Pumpkin Android 9 HU with the CSN2 version of MCU. In the options FCC is set to start automatically on boot up but I think the problem is that the unit is "sleeping" and not "booting" is that right? Any workarounds? Thanks in advance for your kind help!
[Android Head-Units] kramttocs:
I wonder if this has to do with the change where FCC is now a running application vs a 'normal' launcher. I would say to try Tasker as a test but if FCC is getting killed on sleeping, it likely will also.
[Android Head-Units] tigert10:
I think you are exactly right. I think it is running as an application which I'm sure has benefits but this is a drawback for sure. It is interesting that if I press the power button on the radio to shut it off, when I turn it back on FCC is up and running with no loading required. It is just when I turn the key off that it seems to shut FCC down and it has to restart but does not do so automatically. Could this possibly be a wiring issue on my end or a setting in the radio itself for the key off behavior?
[Android Head-Units] kramttocs:
Does the whole unit have to boot up after you turn the key off and on? Do you see the Android/google loading animation or does the stock launcher show up immediately?

Hi download macrodroid and set a macro to launch Homescreen when screen turns on. It will start fcc launcher. For Autoboot has never worked although the launcher goes to sleep and also kept alive in Hal9k rom but still this am to ensures that the launcher starts properly after the headunit wakes up.

[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
It will work with all the Players that FCC supports, which includes Poweramp (not sure about Muzio, never used it)

You will need to edit the quickplayer widget, and select your desired players.

One assumes that say Poweramp, runs if you open it as an APP, and it plays ??

Now you just have to tell the Player widget, that Poweramp is one of your 3 Quickplayers.

[Android Head-Units] ab1702:
If you go in the settings of player widget there is an option and I think it says something about the amount of players you want it to control. You can have it set to one specific player only or you can choose something like all players + radio or you can blank it out and it shows the - sign. If you have It set to the - sign it does what you’re saying as I changed mine a few weeks ago and then all the album art and track info etc stopped working amongst some other things. It took me a while to figure out what I’d Done but when i changed it back to all players + radio then it all started working again.

Any chance you could update the Satellite Widget to display better.

The way it is at the moment, the Text size is very limited, because it cuts off at the bottom when it gets bigger.

Ideally, it should match the WifI & BT widget design, with the Icon at the top, and the text underneath.

Maybe its not to much work to just make it the same as the WiFi & BT widget

ie just copy their design (which works very well)

Attached are two Images, 1st is how it is at the moment, 2nd is suggested change (with Satellite icon at the top)
[Android Head-Units] bajoseph04:
Agree with you. Ever since the introduction of split screen (and no option to turn it off), the launcher was converted into an app that will close when you close every recent app but the developer is least bothered to provide any fix for the issue despite being mentioned by many users here. And few here will suggest you to install the older version that worked well for you. I removed my rating in the play store for this app but still use it and come to this forum once in a while to see if at all these a fix. But to the disappointment, I could only see the developer responding to feature requests but not to anyone reporting issues. While most developers do it the other way.

[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
You do what you feel you need to do, but it seems the only reason the posts were OFF Topic, is because the OP was asking about an issue he was having with FCC, that turned out to be because his particular head unit was not supported. Maybe I missed some later "off topic" posts ?

But by removing those posts, anyone else with the same head unit will not be able to read in the forum that their head unit is not one compatible with FCC, even though, from that Head Unit's published (incorrect ? ) specs, it would appear to have been compatible.. but was not.

That being said, nice to know that the thread is moderated, hopefully mainly at the request of the thread Host (Speedfire-)
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
To be honest, it was me who reported nearly 2 pages of really not related postings to Fcc.

The user does not accept that this unit is something like a dual unit, which is able to use the OEM radio and the complete board computer. This is the reason another launcher is prohibited. It´s just a bit more closed as ours.

By the way... one of the best (if not the best) units if you drive a MB W203 and want to keep connected to OEM amplifier, the double-receiver FM radio, OEM DAB+ with seamless streaming between DAB+ and FM... and whatever else the OEM head unit provides.

Once again, no single relation to Fcc the whole time. Just no other launcher is usable as the installed and just blaming the workshop the unit was sold and mounted.

Car manufacturer logo to speedmeter after start

Hello, few days ago i discovered this unique car launcher. I think it amazing, very customizable=i love it. But anyway i have some question. Is it possible to make some widget with car logo, and change that automatically to speedmeter (or compass, or radio station logo, or player album cover , etc) after start ( or vehicle move ) ?
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Nice idea, somehow as another car launcher in the market has.

Just now there is no way to get this done, as this launcher is working as a widget based launcher. May be this would be something to get on the list for further improvements.

Spotify opens in foreground

I have an Intel SC9853i Tesla-Style unit. The player widget works fine, but when I turn the HU on, Spotify opens in the foreground, so I have to press Home once to get to the screen I want. The other players (Blackplayer and DAB-Z) don't do this.

I don't have any of them in autostart settings in FCC.

FCC supports Volume by speed in the Pro Version. (well worth the few dollars to have the pro version, and of course to support the developer !!)

BTW: August is the normal Vacation (Holiday) Month in many parts of the world, so I suspect the developer is having a well earned rest.
[Android Head-Units] kramttocs:
It's available in the pro version but there have been numerous reports of it not working on various head units. Generally the two features go hand in hand on whether they work or not for a user. It's been reported a few times here lately so while I completely agree the pro version is worth it, that's unfortunately not the solution for a lot of units.

It's understandable that different hardware will be unique in how some of the things like this have to be coded but hopefully it's something that we can provide info for and get the launcher even more universally compatible.
[Android Head-Units] Mickey4Mouse:
with my Pumpkin it works "theoretically", in real life it is not usable, at least not with my knowlege or the default configuration.

first of all there is the big problem with the unreliable speed signal via GPS instead of using the information from the CAN bus. Any bridge or a tunnel for sure gives you headache since the speed information is wrong and the volume is increased. I have no clue why it is increased in case of a signal loss, but anyway it is anoying in any direction (up or down).

i really don't care if the volume is +/-5% "inaccurate" (for the "real" speed) as long as it is steady.

but even without such GPS interruptions the volume "jumps" up and down if "something happens". I didn't analyze it in detail, if the input changes to A2DP (e.g. the phone sends a BT "message") or any background task (alarm from a cam with driving assistant running) or anything else interrupts the music stream, it's not really predictable how loud the music "comes back".

usually i listen to music with volume setting about 18 (max is 30 at my unit). FCC often switches to 25 or even higher (i had 30 (max vol) as well) without any obvious reason at low speed (<50mph).

the changes are bigger than the whole adjustment range (as far as i understand the settings, but maybe i don't understand the settings).

the "smallest" issue is the "wanted" up/down change if you are forced to drive at one of the speed settings and rapidely cross it up/down.

so at the end of the day it much mor hassle (by far) to fix all these "volumes accidents" caused by a the unreliable speed dependent volume function instead of manually adjusting the volume. Though this function was the main reason to buy the full version, i have disabled it after a few days of testing with the disapointing experiences noted above.

my car isn't able to speed up from 0 to 60 in (much) less than 10s and just very few cars manage 60 to 120 in less than 10s. So there is no valid reason to automatically increase the volume from "value for 60mph to value for 120mph" in 1s.

an automation system which "thinks" the speed has changed by 60mph within less than one second should call an ambulance instead of increasing the volume ;)

so my wish is:

take continous note of speed and volume setting. If the average(!) speed for the last N minutes/seconds has changed by amount X in/decrease the volume by Y but DON'T change anything if min/max speed wasn't within a window +/- Z mph of the average speed. Also don't change anything if the user already did a change within the N timeframe.

and use the CAN signal instead of GPS, if possible.

that's what came into my mind as a first thought, probably there is a little bit more to take into account.

I believe you were having issues with Google Drive interface, and moved FCC files to the "Download" folder ?? !!

Do not really understand why you did this, but even after doing this, it is still not working, or has recently stopped working.

Why cant the FCC files be in in a /FCCLauncher folder ?( ie its own folder off root, like most other Apps)

[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Many head unit have a control output, to turn an external Amp on, when the head unit is turned on.

If yours does not, why not just control the Amp on/off by the IGN line, same line that turns the Head Unit ON/OFF.

Yeah, the Blue/white wire but I've never seen one that has a button to enable or disable it. Trying to identify if the request above is valid for FCC Launcher or beyond the scope of it.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
The AMP control is a hardware circuit, that I VERY MUCH DOUBT has the ability to be controlled in any way by any App running on the unit. So, there is very very very little chance that FCC can control it.

I must admit, I cannot see WHY you would want FCC to control it. or why it needs any manual control at all.

What functionality are you trying to achieve, that you think you need FCC to control turning on/off your external amp ?

Why would you just not want it to be on when the head unit is on, and Off when the head unit is off ?? - ie controlled by the head units AMP control output.

Thanks for the explanation. If the remote turn on wire is staying active even with the ignition off that sounds like a defect in the head unit or possibly the system wiring.

It still sounds defective or something is up with the wiring but if we are ignoring that, rather than relying on human interaction, I would use a standard bosch relay. Use the ign acc wire for 86 and the blue/white to be 30.

This would require the acc circuit be hot AND the head unit remote wire on before the amp is triggered.
