Still no reason to not get in contact with WINCA. WINCA is marked on the front of the screen, so they know what they have to send to you. Why are you so shy? Tell them that your unit is not running correctly and you expect to get an update for your unit. You have all information they need.

Firmware version and MCU version. You can post them your last 2 screenshots you added here. You have nothing to lose, but everything to win.

New alpha version fcclauncher-3.511_v5.apk

- Workaround for a NavRadio strange behaviour (a bug probably) which interrupted switching to another player.
[Android Head-Units] kill_one:
Guys it also happens to you that when you listen to the radio via a pre-installed application or Navradio the volume does not stop or lower when a message or notification arrives as it happens with other apps such as POWERAMP or SPOTIFY, it happens especially with the voice in google maps or when he says something via tts with tasker, the end result is that what he says is not heard because it is covered by the music of the radio. Thanks in advance for the help.. :)

is there a solution or a workaround? Is it possible to set the mute volume with tasker?

Hi I've the paid version of FCC app, installed the app on my car's android unit, followed through all the instructions (including allowing all access requirements) but when I went through a cold start of my car, I could not access the widgets anymore. Seems like there's something restricting the usage of widgets on FCC. Is there anything I can do to open up the access?
[Android Head-Units] ric69:
With new great google maps widget , its time to change FCC home without FCC maps
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
hmmm... I don´t think that the new widget will be available soon for our head units. It´s even not available for most of the phones.

On the other side: This widget only shows the surrounding traffic and is not able to route. The other possible future features are even not yet available at all.

So if someone uses the Fcc maps, there is no way to use the same functionality with the Google widget...
[Android Head-Units] ric69:
You are right yes ... even if I have 11.36.2 on unit and 11.35.1 version on my phone

There's no such widget on unit for moment, hope they will include one day ^^
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Yes, in my case when FCC speaks (say i.e. hour) the volume of the background player does not goes lower, and as I use PowerAmp Equalizer, this one stops processing audio after FCC speaks (the background player does not send audio to PowerAmp Equalizer anymore)

It sounds like FCC dirturbs PowerAmp Equalizer when it comes to say anything
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Poweramp is well known for having issues with muxing. That was the reason I removed PowerAmp and don´t have this issue with all other player, navigation or anything else.... but I don´t use Fcc to tell the time. ;)
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
@rigattoni yes I'll disable all that options, I use PowerAmp Equalizes because I don't like the default equalizer, nor in FYT or Topway style formwares, too basic.

Thanks fort that tip @rigattoni
[Android Head-Units] KeithW205:
After purchasing Car Launcher Pro & CarWebGuru, I have purchased FCC Car Launcher and have found FCC to be the one! Definitely has everything I was looking for. My primary main screen use is a moving map display and a streaming music player. Both look great but...

I'm having an issue with the map working (Google/minimap). As soon as FCC boots, it will "most times" briefly update my position then be stuck there. The behavior is erratic, most times the embedded map will not update or move or even show the pointer, but sometimes it does for a moment. ONE TIME, it worked exactly as it is supposed to on a 5-minute drive, which was wonderful! Until I turned the car off and it hasn't been back since.

At the same time the map is not "live", I also get an error message overlay on the FC Compass widget (which is also not updating) "No GPS Permission".

I have location always enabled for both FCC Car Launcher and FCC Compass. During all of these times I have great GPS satellite reception and other stand-alone apps that use location services work just fine (i.e.; Google Maps app).

I also removed any battery usage restrictions from FCC Launcher and Compass.

Has anyone else experienced troubles with the map not moving/updating and the compass? This is about to drive me insane. I was initially on the most recent Play Store version. I updated to the latest Play Store Beta version today, which has some great changes, but my same issue persists. It's almost like FCC gets the location for a second(s) after boot-up then loses it.

I have installed on an aftermarket 12.3" Android screen (Android 11, Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 8-core, 6GB RAM) and the unit has a live internet connection through a 4G SIM card if that means anything. :)

Thank you for any help with this before I start lighting things on fire. :p
[Android Head-Units] nihonjin:
@KeithW205 I found I had to setup a tasker task to turn location off and on again when my HU boots up into FCC launcher. If you manually turn off and on again and ensure you have internet connection does that make it work for you? It's what I have to do and have same Android 11 spandragon unit myself.
[Android Head-Units] ric69:
On last update, pictures of album are no more animated in widget. Its fix but I'm not sure if it's problem with spotify
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Have you tried the latest Beta version of the FCC Car Launcher? If not, please try.

Yes, he wrote: "I updated to the latest Play Store Beta version today, which has some great changes, but my same issue persists."
[Android Head-Units] KeithW205:
Thank you so very much for your reply! This "fixes" it! After FCC boot, cycling location off then back on eliminates the issue and all works as expected for me. Thanks again! This is another example of how valuable these public forums are. :)

Tasker is new to me, I just downloaded it and it's not very intuitive. Looks like I have some work to do figuring it out. In the meantime, I added a shortcut icon to my home screen that opens location settings and I'll do it manually like this until I can figure out Tasker properly and get this "fix" automated.

Cheers!
[Android Head-Units] KeithW205:
Yes, thank you. I think I have the latest Beta version. I upgraded from the Play Store Beta channel yesterday (2022-07-07). Reporting as Version 3.512 within my installed instance (which did not eliminate my location services/GPS issue).

Since @nihonjin experienced the same issues as me and is also running Android 11, this may be an Android 11-specific issue? I now wonder if anyone else here is running Android 11 and has not had location services issues?

On a side note, I thank you, any other developers/coders, and anyone who has helped test/QA this awesome application. The more time I spend with FCC, the more I appreciate all the deep-level settings, configurations, and styling control options. Massive thumbs-up and kudos!

Some additional info about my system as an FYI:

Android 11 - Kernel version: 4.19.157

Device: Snapdragon662

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] kikookub:
Hello,

first of all - after years of using Nova Launcher I overlooked this hidden gem, thank you for all the hard work you put in FCC Launcher, the customization possibilites are endless and far deeper than I initially thought. I was finally able to create my perfect dashboard aka. the CarPlay android offline bootleg as I call it (I will post the pic of the setup). I only should have bought the premium version sooner, wish I knew.

I have couple of minor issues:

- My CSN2 PX5 head unit does not have a compass and pretty spotty GPS (mainly on cold boot) as far as I know, this causes strange behaviour in the MapBox offline map widget. When the car is standing still / stationary, the compass rotates erratically around in all directions, I was looking through this thread and noticed some users in 2019 reported this issue and your explaination was that you are using your own customized implementation on Google Maps widget that helps with this strange compass behavior and some other minor issues. Would it be possible to just lock the widget to stay on the last compass orientation under 5 km/h for example? I thought I can partially bypass this with compass locked to north but it seems to reset after couple of seconds have passed.

- Is it possible to hide the white/blue arrow location marker from the MapBox map widget? Custom blank .png image does not seem to work on MapBox (latest alpha build), I would like to hide it because sometimes if shoots off away from the road, so it would be cleaner looking without it (In my use case, I just need the widget to see map around my location, not my exact location).

- Sometimes the last street name gets stuck on the widget (I live near smaller towns, maybe no data or street name for the "new" street I am passing through?) , is it possible to create / set some timer so the last shown street name just fades away if it has not been updated for 30 seconds?

I know that just using Google Maps API would probably fix many of the issues but I am using the head unit without 4g modem and fully offline, so thats off the table at the moment.

hey guys, does the google maps voice to you turn down the volume while listening to the radio (navradio or original app) when talking?

No
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
So I guess the man is busy or something big is coming up.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
At least no one knows... I just have minor issues, not to mention, because it seems to be firmware related.
[Android Head-Units] aeturnus77:
Hey all, I'm new to this launcher - was using Car Launcher - and just getting things setup. Apologies if I've missed something in the app or in this forum thread, but are there historical widgets similar to the trip widgets, such as trip time, trip avg speed. I'm looking for these values specifically:

Max Speed Historically

Max Speed of Trip (i may have seen this in the widgets already, i forget)

Avg Speed Historically

Thanks!

@SpeedFire- released a new version 3.515 on his beta channel on Play Store. It has updated libraries and crashes fixed. :)(y)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Hi all,

I have plans to release current beta-version (3.515) as a release version if everything is OK.

Is there someone who prefers the current release version over the beta-version? Why?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Here is a new alpha. fcclauncher-3.515_v2.apk:

1) There was eliminated an excessive update of widgets during program start. The launcher can start a little bit faster now.

2) SDK version was upgraded from 32 to 33 (new Android version)

Please test
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
fcclauncher-3.515_v3.apk

- Some more bug and crash fixes based on online reports
[Android Head-Units] dejdo:
Hi,

first I would like to thank this great software bundle (it's far more than just a launcher) to the developer.

Second, I managed to have TPMS mounted and hoped I can use the plugin to read them. The sensors from Erisin work fine with the bundled software, but I have absolutely no idea, how to pair them with the plugin. I found an option in the menu, but then there is a countdown from 120 sec and I have no idea what I should do (just waiting doesn't work).
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Can you please upload Erisin's original tpms apk?

[Android Head-Units] Robotino:
Hi there,

I am using the current Beta 3.515, paid version, and I want to change the 1st line of value/text displayed by the OBD widget when showing the speedo value. It should look the same as in the GPS speedo widget. With the GPS speedo widget only a number is displayed, for example with 123 km/h it is just "123". If I want, I can write "km/h" or what ever I want in the 2. line.

Instead, the OBD widget shows "123km/h" in the 1st line, all in the same size and without a space. Can someone tell me if and how I can change this myself? Otherwise I would like to ask @SpeedFire- to make a corresponding change in the next Beta version, that would be great.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Why are you using the OBD widget to show the GPS speed?

We have a really nice own widget in Fcc to show the GPS speed... and surely with 2 lines. First line shows the number and the second one the unit (km/h or mph whatever is set in the settings.)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
You have some different type of TPMS hardware. I'm not sure it can be easily added.

Can you give a link to the TPMS device itself (AliExpress would be perfect)?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Version 3.520 is live in the release channel of Play Store.

I hope it will be fine.
[Android Head-Units] dejdo:
I bought it on eBay: https://www.ebay.de/itm/203686463525

But I think this the same on Ali: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002254275992.html

Thanks for looking into this!
[Android Head-Units] Robotino:
Thanks for the hint, but, may be it got lost in translation, I know the GPS widget, that's why I want the OBD widget to look the same. I also don't want to discuss why I want to use the OBD and not the GPS widget. Please, just concede that I want it that way.

My question is if I can suppress the last four characters ("km/h") myself by settings. In the settings of the FCC OBD widget there is an item called "Reader Config Commands", where two values are preset by default ("atsp0" and "atz"). Is it perhaps possible to achieve the changes I want there? Otherwise it would be great if SpeedFire- could make a change.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Well, do whatever you want to do, it just does not interest me at all.

I even did not want to discuss with you.
[Android Head-Units] meisanerd:
Depending on how it reads from the ODB device, this might not be possible in FCC at all, as it might just be dumping the value that it gets straight from the library.
[Android Head-Units] Nmc1988:

Does anyone know how to add this icon pack to FCC Launcher?

Domka icon pack – Apps on Google Play

Stunning glass icons with multicolored gradient backlighting

play.google.com

I've tried and selected them under the display settings but it doesn't work.

Is it a case of the icon developer needs to add FCC Launcher to it's options or FCC Launcher needs to make compatibility for that icon pack?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
fcclauncher-3.520_v2.apk

- New option added - "reset trip data - every boot / every day / never" (it can be found in trip widgets' settings and in Fcc Settings - System - Autostart).
[Android Head-Units] bsavoir22:
Been using this app since 2017 and never had this issue at all, not until this new update. I'm glad it's got a sleek upgraded look.

The icons only widget style doesn't seem to align the way they used to. I have played around with the settings for the Margins and widget padding and nothing seemed to get them to align.

Guys, many of you suggested your help with translation of the app to your native languages.

I have setup a translation project on OneSky site.

Here is the link: HELP TRANSLATE FCC CAR LAUNCHER "
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:

SpeedFire_ has to push new phrases to OneSky first.

Then we are able to provide the translation. As far as I can see, these phrases are not available yet.

[Android Head-Units] Nmc1988:
Thank you so much!

I have one more request in the Trip data: i would like to have “total driving time “. It is total time from the device starts until current time. It is useful information that i would like to know total driving time since I start driving. Now in the trip data only has driving time (gps speed is greater than 0) and total parking time ( gps speed is 0); and I have to plus them manually to get “total driving time”.

I hope you understand what I mean!
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Regularly all UI is written in English to provide a "fallback solution" in case the system language is not fully implemented for a software.

So this should not be an issue, just the translation files are not complete.

As this is just the second step, he will provide at some time the strings/phrases to OneSky.... just be a bit patient. Just that the developer is Russian himself does not mean that he already is ready with it´s own language. ;)

It´s even better to bring a test version first and the translation afterwards in the final version... or in a beta something.

@hanichl In the player widget settings, disable the cover animation
[Android Head-Units] hanichl:
@SpeedFire- : Enabling Cover Animation works fine, button turns on, IS animated :)

Then, immediate afterwards, when disabling this function, the button gets off, but the animation is still circling on.

After rebooting, it is really disabled. Only a hint to have a look upon somwhere in the future ;) this is really no show stopper.

Congrats to the great work youd did and do !!

P.S. i am using latest BETA version from play store ( paid ).

I downloaded the latest version yesterday, I have a TOPWAY TS18 (SC9863a-UIS8581A) android 10 and detected as SPRD, everything works fine, except that after headunit restart, FCC launcher starts normally but after 5 seconds the prompt for choosing the default launcher appears and i choose always but the issue is repeated again after restart.

I had uninstalled all other launchers and tried changing the settings to phone/tablet but no success. Any suggestions?

Hi, a new user here. I'm trying to get it working on the Joying universal headunit (MSM8953 based). The public version starts well, but has some annoying bugs I hoped to see fixed in the beta. Beta version lets me trough the initial setup, but after that just shuts down (also after restart, it crashes). Is it supposed to work with the mentioned headunit and can I help somehow to troubleshoot the problem?

Update: apparently it's caused by the map widget: if after clean install I select a theme without map, it works.
[Android Head-Units] Medo2018:
If you mean android/Apps/default apps, it is already selected and still same, it starts normally , and after 5 seconds something triggers the launcher choose window.

I got same problem with Car Launcher, then I found that the first Home Launcher (that came with the head unit as standard launcher) has an update version and waiting for update. After update first launcher and choose default launcher again, that trouble has gone.

May you try to check your standard launcher or even uninstall/turn off it.

[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
I must confess to using Car Web GURU recently as FCC for me was too temperamental Anyway after reading about 3.520v2 I cleared out CWG and ran FCC. Reinstated my backup. No sooner did my lights come on, giant text and the player widget switches from album art to sat logo. At the time MEM usage was 31% and CPU temp was 31c.

I am going to have the HU back out of the car for yet another refresh as I am beginning to wonder if GS 3.79 MCU is an issue. Going back to 3.62 for testing. Also PlayStore is constantly crashing. Wrong thread, but is there now a simplified mechanism to adopt A11 on PX6? Link please if there is. Thanks. New Log when I do the format.

[Android Head-Units] Tronuk:
Hello.

Using the Pro version on a Teyes SPRO+ device

I use the auto volume feature. But there is a small problem with this function on all versions of the program.

The auto volume feature works well only with the volume widget of the program itself.

If you use the radio volume buttons to adjust the volume, the program (launcher) does not fix this volume. And when the speed changes, when the volume should change by one step, the volume will change, but one step away from the widget. And it will not take into account if changes have been made through the device buttons up to this point.

Can this be fixed?
[Android Head-Units] Qubidk:
Hi everyone.

I started using FCC launcher 2 days ago. Today I had a phone call, more than 30 minutes, the launcher became unresponsive, black screen and could not press on any buttons. The box was responsive, I could close and open apps othervise. I have a QCM6125 Hi-box.

Today was the same, just music playing and navigation. After 30 min the whole launcher was frozen, I could switch between 2 screen (skinz) but that's about it.
