Very nice ..

What I hope may be a simple and easy to do request. ?

Could the FM station "User supplied Station Artwork & User entered Station Name & Description that works for FM station, be extended to work for AM Stations.

While not so many listen to AM, some still do, and if it was not to much work to extend those FM features to AM, that would be appreciated.

Hi,

I have the problem that the home button does not work for me. It works only if I am on another side of the launcher (if I have several skins installed) then it praises to the standard skin. But I would like that when I press the home button he jumps to the home skin from all apps, also my settings app (link) is lost in the apps, I'm only in the Android settings via detours in the settings of the FCC launcher , In addition, I find it a bit confusing that I have to press Bluetooth to make phone calls because there is no Phone App. At the moment I have to say that the 7.49 € wrong money is spent.
[Android Head-Units] mihaimilea2005:
Hi,

I thought I have the same problem a while ago, but then I realized this was not caused by a bug, but a setting in FCC which tells the launcher to return to a certain skin when pressing the home button. I am not in my car and I don't remember where you can find that setting, but I can look for that later in the day and send you the path.

Hope this helps solving your issue.

I don´t know what you are doing over there, but your added pic shows your home screen... :confused:

Which screen should be shown?

If you want to get back to a special screen, please use the settings. There you can choose what page has to be called as your "Home Screen".

That you have to press the BT button is related to the fact that no Android radio has a phone app as standalone. It´s always included in the BT app.

If you think that would be wrong, please talk with your radio vendor... This has nothing to do with FCC Car Launcher.

On the other side: You are able to change the icon and the name to see a phone and the name Telefon... so what are you claiming???
[Android Head-Units] wanze2001:
I just want to go back to the homepage of the FCC launcher when I press the home button on the top left of the picture and that from every position / page of the HU. The homepage I have defined before, but this works only if I am in another side of the desktop ...
[Android Head-Units] ka724ka:
Did you try to set FCC as the default launcher? If so, when you press the home button on the upper-left, it should bring you back to the FCC home screen.

As for the system setting, you could access thru FCC setting or from App button on desktop.

After long weekends I finally got the files uploaded. SpeedFire as I have already mentioned, due to some reason, FCC Car launcher was not able to get radio identified as a player. You can access the file at http://bit.ly/2SW370e

Here is the Alpha (now it is 3.205new, not 3.206) with playlists:

Alpha 3.205new

But install with care and make a backup before installing it. For some reason package size is less than the previous one (maybe some Android Studio update made it more effective in compressing the apk).

And here is a backup (current) 3.205 version to roll back to if needed: Release 3.205

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

I´m runnung into an issue with setting calls via FCC.

My unit:

Pumpkin PX5

Board rk30sdk

BT Interface: v5

OEM ROM

With Hal9K I am running into the same issue.

I can choose FCC to link phone calls to FCC, but after choosing a contact nothing happens.

So I am not able to use OK Google to start phone calls.

I attached a logcat... Hopefully you find a way to get those units supported.

[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

The HOME issues seems to be resolved for p5x, but it is a major issue on Allwinner...

50% of the time it does not work, or is very lagged, and typically causes FCC to restart, making FCC almost unusable as it stands.

I'm having issues with Spotify being controlled by player widget in the last couple of betas....

I really wanted to use and like this launcher, but I just couldn't get it to work properly on my head unit. Has anyone managed to get it to completely work on a new Joying px5 HU? My model is a JY-TO151N4PX5S.

I couldn't get the phone calls to work as I kept receiving the error "BT not connected, try to change BT interface version". I feel like I've tried all available options and couldn't seem to find an answer in this forum. The biggest drawback to the stock launcher that came on the unit is that the BT Phone app kinda sucks (I needed something a lot simpler so I don't have to take my eyes off the road too long while navigating the phonebook). Google Assistant won't seem to interact with the stock BT phone app either so I can't use voice activated calling, and was really hoping FCC would fill that hole. Any ideas or helpful suggestions?

Is AM Radio artwork going to be a possibility ? (Same features as currently FCC has with FM radio) :)

[Android Head-Units] R4m80:
You need to install "GVC Call Handler 4 Joying" from the PlayStore to get voice activated calling to work. Follow the instruction and it should work. Works for me.
[Android Head-Units] stevie_po:
Thanks for the suggestion; I tried GVC Call Handler a while back and had no success, but thought I'd give it another go. Just been trying again for the last hour and still no cigar. After installing and setting up, when trying to dial, GVC force closes. Really at a loss why nothing works. BT is definitely connected, as the stock phone app will make calls (but like I said, the interface is horribly unusable whilst driving).
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
You can )

Please check the next beta. I hope it will work.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Beta 3.207:

- Logos and names for AM stations

- "Ok Google" phone calls for AllWinner and Joying (beta)?

- RouteWidget on KitKat

- Fixed custom icons in IconWidget were reset to default when resized
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

- Logos and names for AM stations - works and display fine on px5 system (Eonon)

But --

Setting the Frequency is almost unusable-- there are so many in the scroll list, that it takes many minutes to reach the one you want.

Rather than just one scroll window, could it be split into two

ie

{10} {90} .0

{ 5} {40] .0

That would greatly reduce the time taken to select a given frequency.

An option to directly input the Freq (with limit checking) would be even better, especially if that could also be included on the FM selection.

Try setting up 1900 and you will see what I mean :)

I set up one to test that it worked, but could not face another 5 minutes of scrolling to do a second.

Hopefully you can improve this, and in the meanwhile, I'll continue to create my local AM station Artworks.

Proof of concept works, it's just the Interface that need a little help :)

Also, when they list, it would better if the AM stations were not mixed up with the FM stations... probably a NUMERIC sort is needed, instead of an Alphabetic sort. (would also help with the current FM stations)

Numeric 88.1, 99.7, 100.2 109.7" instead of Alphabetic "100.2 109.7 88.1 99.7"

so we have automatically all the FM before the AM

ie

88.1 - 90.1 - 100.3 - 109.7 550 - 890 - 1090

and not

100.3 1090 109.7 550 88.1, 890 90.1

Hello [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

Are you working on the problem?

Best regards

[Android Head-Units] Th0m4s88:
There are still problems with some players like Poweramp. The restart player after reboot function in the FCC launcher seems to start the player and then immediately stop it again after the headunit exits the sleep mode.

After a cold boot it's a bit different. The player starts, plays for about 15 seconds and then gets a signal to stop and immediately after that a signal to play again.

That's a bit annoying. That bug doesn't show up with all players. VLC for example starts as it should but that player has its own bugs... or maybe it's a feature. It always starts at the beginning of the folder instead of the song where the headunit was shut down which is even more annoying:eek:

As long as the start/stop bug isn't fixed, does anybody know an other good working player with a folder search function?

If it were easy to do, it would probably have been fixed a long time ago.

Obviously it is not that simple, and I am confident that [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] is doing all he can to resolve these complex problems.

He must put in so many hours a week, working on FCC, and for him, it's a Hobby, not his "Work".

As an experienced Programmer, I can only imagine the difficulties he is having, with such a complex application, interfacing to so many other developer's apps, that themselves many have significant issues, and are always in a state of change. I am greatly Impressed.

I have seen so much improved and fixed in FCC over the past 6 months .. FCC as it stands today is hardly recognizable as the product was a year ago.. so much has been added and improved.

Now my POINT :-

Sometimes it is difficult to put into word, what one perceives as a Bug in FCC, when trying to report it to [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] , especially if English is not your native language. (and often even when it is !!)

A VIDEO "showing" what you are seeing as a Bug is worth a 1000 words.

So I would encourage you to submit a Video of your issue... I find when I do that, [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] is far more likely to understand the issue I am having, and often will speedily fix that issue, once he can actually SEE it.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Thanks . - very nice :)

More convenient enter of AM stations frequencies in radio settings

also, stations sorted by Numerical Freq, ( not Logical) .. much nicer.

Thanks for the quick response :)

Not tried to enter my developer's key yet in FCC, (got to find it !! ) but assume that will now work.

Still a few FCC resets when initially re-starting from cold ... will do some further testing, and if still happening make a Video ..

You need to restart your head unit after uninstalling the app, or force stop FCC Service in android application settings.

Another thing I noticed w/ the AM radio widget. If I use the arrows or my finger to switch the preset radio stations it isn't updating properly. When I press the widget to go into radio it'll then update the widget but next time I switch channels same deal. So for example (And what I did for this log). I'm on 780AM I swipe right and it shows 780AM still on widget but when I press the widget and go into radio its actually at my next preset which is 890AM. Now if I go back to home screen widget shows correct 890AM.

BTW volume seeme to be cooperating now. I've not been able to drive it yet today but I'll let you know on that tomorrow.

Had installed the latest beta from playstore.

1. Brightness does not return to original level after returning from rear cam view. Can we add option to disable this feature? Coz in daylight u have to manually set brightness to max to make screen viewable

2. Player widget- after selection of fmradio, selection still goes back to the default reflecting poweramp does not maintain selection at fm although the fm is playing.
[Android Head-Units] pa.ko:
Yes, I confirm both issues. While we can play with widget, I would ask [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] to put priority onto reverse cam (auto)brightness as that issue is very inconvenient and influence driving safety (my cam gets very dark for unknown reason after several engagements and I almost hit a pole in parking lot as I have not seen it in shade).

[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] with the latest beta 3.209, I keep getting FCC has stopped error messages... mostly after wake or restart but random ones after some time too.

Also the album art and track info update is much worse for me (was pretty bad before too but worked better before).

And when you fixed the home button in beta 3.205, all seemed to work well for me, then I installed the following release of alpha 3.206 and started having home button issues again... I even tried to go back to 3.205 but the issues persisted. I tried clearing data then reinstalling but still same issues (though still restoring from a backup) And any of the following releases, it seemed to get a little better but do still have the issue sometimes... and sometimes it works great. Not sure why it got weird on me after the 3.206 alpha

I've also still had some weird issues with the auto screen brightness kind of bouncing around between brightness's and eventually will settle down after a bit of time.

[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
I am also seeing the above,

I realize these Widget Player issues are very frustrating, and difficult to track down and fix, but currently, I think many will agree, that the biggest failing of FCC is in it's Player Widget stability - Players being one of the most important functions of a launcher.

Your time is limited, but maybe you could concentrate 100% on the Player Widget issue, and get this fixed "once and for all" before getting into adding more feature (which I appreciate are a lot more fun to develop, than fixing Player issues :)
[Android Head-Units] millab:
I must agree, this is the one thing that is letting the launcher down at the moment. Playing music is the main use case for the android headunit.

Maybe we can start a list of what players we use and what our problems with each player are? We would need to start with a more stable version (not the latest beta which introduced new issues). What makes it harder of course is that other apps are changing too (Eg. Spotify newer versions don't work the same, I have to run an old version to be able to resume music)

[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] do you have a bug tracker we can utilise?

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

In my brief testing this version has fixed my player widget completely! For Spotify the titles update correctly and the album art is updating properly too. I tried switching between many tracks, apps and sources and no problems at all.

My only problem is that DAB-Z continues to make FCC force-close. Apparently Realzoulou is working on a change (dab-z will no longer pause when focus shifts, but will close instead) and I think that will fix this issue. It seems that while paused FCC believes DAB-Z still has focus.

Great work Speedfire- !! The hold to configure is much easier to use too :)
