If you mean some panel which will stay in the FCC Launcher and third party apps - this is only possible on a custom firmware level. I also had this idea and investigated the issue. It seems impossible to do.

The only theoretical option is to make a floating overlay panel (like floating buttons in some apps), but I don't really think it will be useful since it will be covering part of the third party interface.

The minimap problem has been resolved. thank you so much. You are perfect. good work.?

Just few ideas/suggestions:

1. Speed limit widget red circle should be little thinner. As it is now, it is hard to read speeds of 100+ in it as the numbers are too close/overlap with red circle. Making it just 20% thinker will make widget much more readable, and allow font size increase helping better visibility (not all users are young with good eyesight - some of us need bigger fonts)

2. In Massive Settings (or something like that, I suggest changing labels and descriptions of existing items. For instance, both color settings are the same labels. I believe one is for primary text and second for secondary, but that should be written so. Also, I would like to have other common settings there also, like font sizes, transparency/opacity, background colour etc. which applies to all widgets.

3. Widget icons: in selecting widget there are now new icons on every widget (in lower right corner). But these icons are not available in list of icons selectable in widget settings. For example, street name widget has nice 'highway-like' icon (on widget selection screen) but such icon is not visible in selectable icon in widget settings.

BTW widget icons appear only on left. Would be nice to have option to move it to right. Or on top (like in new multi-trip data widget) and even to bottom....

4. Street name as well as most other widgets should have other alignment options (left, right) beside centered. Also vertical alignment would be nice to have (top, middle, bottom).

These are just some suggestions for your consideration. Nothing is really 'big thing's but if it is not hard for implementing, I think it could be nice to have these options so we can better organize and use space on screen.

Once again thank you for all great (and hard, I know) work you are doing!

Hello, I think I found a bug on my PX5 system, where the left bar widgets constantly don't render.

Even if there's only one screen, changing apps, or swiping up/down hides all the widget/icons.

Have to long-hold the screen to get settings, and then exit to make them render again.
[Android Head-Units] sezerbaris:
Unfortunately, it does not work again.

I worked that day. Now it stopped working again. The thing that I noticed was that ffc was not selected as the starting star on the day it worked. But now what I do is not working. This may help solve your problem.

Thank you.

Hey [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] I was wondering if you have received my email for further development of FCC car launcher for the Allwinner platform?

Crashes with ROM

Hi

I just installed this ROM(2.1): Hal9k ROM 2.1

But this ROM dont support calls via google voice. So I also bought and installed full version og FCC. But it seems I can only choose the "boring" last skin in FCC, it chrashes when I try to use one of the other skins, and then I have to reinstall it. Is there a solution to this?

Kind regards MIchael
[Android Head-Units] Sim08u:
[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] not a problem, I've seen how many updates you have published over the past few weeks haha, you're doing a lot! We can hopefully speak when you have more time!

Now, a question for others... I am trying to create contact widgets however when clicking the widget and pressing "Pick a contact" nothing happens? Do I need to have autocontacts installed or am I not doing something properly?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Probably you didn't grant permission to access contacts. Check it manually in Android settings.
[Android Head-Units] drizzor:
Finally i found the launcher of my dreams! thanks for that.

I installed hal9k Rom 2.1 based on Nougat and switched to MicroG cause my Headunit only got 1gb Ram and i cant take it when it's slow and freezes sometimes. MicroG means a small Version of Google Services and no Google Playstore am i right? So i dont have Access to Playstore from my headunit i downloaded your launcher from another source on a usb stick and installed it on my head unit. Now i get an Error "unable to purchase item no billing" or something like that. I guess it is because i dont installed it directly from playstore. Is there a way to get this awesome launcher on my headunit?
[Android Head-Units] pa.ko:
You can activate PlayStore on microG. Look around for instructions, or ask at your ROM forum.

After HU sleep, widgets are not responding to touch ('click'). For example, I turned off car key, HU goes to sleep, I turn on key / engine again and after waking from sleep HU is fully functional. All widgets are redrawing and showing correct information, even if I change e.g. radio station by steering wheel button, media widget shows the changed station. But any press / click on any widget is not working (touch sound is audible, so it is not issue with touch screen). But, interesting, long press on home background works - the FCC menu is shown. After restarting FCC from all aps (there is FCC restart icon there), everything gets to normal and widgets again start to respond to touch.

Please look at this when you get time.

Attached is log.
[Android Head-Units] rossieer:
I have the same question. My phone is connected to the HU via bluetooth, and stock dialer app sees all the contacts. Should FCC widget also see them? The permission to access contacts is granted to FCC.
[Android Head-Units] pa.ko:
Don't confuse stock BT app ("dialer") phone book with Android contacts. These are two totally different things.

BT app pulls contacts from phone and keeps just name-phone pairs in app-internal storage. And that phonebook is not related to Google account. You have to manually synch that phonebook with your phone.

FCC as well all other apps are referring to phone numbers in native Android contacts repository, which is tied to Google accout.

That said, you cannot use FCC nor any other app beside stock BT to call numbers from BT phonebook (as far as I know). Eve Google Now is not aware of that property phone book.

All apps which enable calling (FCC and Google Now for instance) are using Android contacts and just 'route' call via BT. Yes you will see call in BT app list of calls, but it is just as if you just dial contact number via phone directly (you will see that call in BT list)

So, if you want to use FCC for calling, you have to synch your Google account contacts on HU and then perform calling (from True Contacts, FCC, Google Now or any other app capable initiating the call).

Few issues:

1. Speed Volume - it works (after you switched back to old code) but if player/radio is MUTED (I have Mute button on HU) it restores sound on first speed threshold. Looks like you have to check (if you can - I don't know if it is possible or not) Mute state prior to adjust sound level.

2. Speedometer widget always goes yellow over 60km/h and red over 80km/h no matter what I set in Seepometer settings (main app settings not the widget set). (currently I have speed limit 80 and still it is white up to 60).

These are not showstoppers but please take a look when you find time.

Kind regards and thank you for great work!
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Hi, Pavle!

Thank you for noticing those bugs. Both of them are fixed (I hope!) in today's beta.

For #2 please note that your default speed limit will be overriden by the actual speedlimit if Speedlimit or Streetname widgets are added to homescreen and return actual speedlimits for your current road.
[Android Head-Units] pa.ko:
Thank you.

I updated but was not able to test. FCC Launcher crashes / freezes constantly after just few minutes. HU freezes and it is not possible to either close/restart launcher nor to do anything much else.

Hope you will fix it soon. I just got used on FCC I don't have any other launcher installed anymore :)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Yes. It seems that switching to another provider of street names was not a good decision.

Just uploaded a new version (it needs some time to be accepted by the play market). Hope it will fix freezes.
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
My system did not freeze after the update with the other Street name server.

Did you found the app Radiofm ?

Thanks In advanced.
[Android Head-Units] jun81:
Have u try disabling mymtcservice? It seems to stop the freeze. Still monitoring. Coz the latest version freezes as well for me
[Android Head-Units] pa.ko:
I don't use mymtcservice. I use only mtcradio (for saving stations). No need for any other closed module as FCC covers all my needs.

Latest version resolved freezes for me. All fine whole day.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Yes. I've spent several hours trying to integrate it. Unfortunately this is impossible. Its author made everything (I think intentionally) in order to this app not to be integrated / controlled outside of the app itself.
[Android Head-Units] jun81:
Am still using mymtcservice/headunit for speed volume adjustment.

If speedfire can add

1.safe start volume

2.more speed adjustment levels

That will be great!

Fcc launcher definitely my choice of launcher now!
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
Thanks for your efforts.:good:
[Android Head-Units] pa.ko:
I think both of them are already there. In premium at least. speed volume control has much levels, much more than anything else I saw. Did you check in settings?
[Android Head-Units] jun81:
Oh yes the speed levels settings are good! Jus check them out. So am looking forward to safe start volume.
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
It's better to set my mtc service out. On your device I has no Juse when you have FCC launcher. And slows down you device. It also can freeze your device when running it the Same time with FCC launcher.

Hi,

I have installed fcc launcher on a flyaudio headunit. and there is bug with the widgets.

when I add a widget and place it on screen once i finished configuring it, it disappears.

if I long touch on the place where I put the widget i can resize it but when I finish i disappears again...

also when I long touch to add a widget I get an overlay box divided to sections which shows a download buttons.

Are those bugs or am i doing something wrong?

i will try to upload images and a video later.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
It seems that these are misconfigured default widgets (yes, this problem makes me crazy too). Hold your finger on it and when you see overlay box move it over 'delete' icon ('X') in the top right corner. Then you can place your own widgets (hopefully)
[Android Head-Units] pa.ko:
I think there is a safe start volume. Im not sure but I think I saw it somewhere I settings. Could be boot volume or something like that.

---------- Post added at 09:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 PM ----------

@SpeedFire-

One suggestion: could you make a bar-style volume up/down display (on volume change)? I like it much more than round one, as round one is not so easy to spot while driving. I'm currently using mtc-volume closed module just for that. If you could provide more volume control styles (even customisable) then I could drop that last xposed module and have all needed things covered by FCC Launcher alone.

OBD2 widget

[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

I tested OBD2 widget and it works very nicely.

But I have issue: any other OBD2 app (Torque for example) cannot work if widget is setup in FCC! Looks like FCC is keeping connection to OBD2 device and any other app cannot access it in same time.

Feature request: Napster player support

As others have said, great work. Very comprehensive.

Just installed for my friend too. Only issue, she uses Napster as a music player and we can't get the unknown player to work without starting Napster and pressing play outside of FCC, then FCC usually reads the current track, artist, and album art successfully. If Napster isn't started separately within its own app, however, the unknown player option doesn't initialize and control it within FCC.

If possible, could you add native Napster player support to FCC?

Windgets do not get binding permission?

Hi,

1st of all, Kudos for this program, really been looking launcher that could control the built in FM radio (on my 4.4.4 no brand China Head Set unit) and now this close, I'm hitting my head again to brick wall :)

When installing the latest version via Play Store, It installs nicely, asking permission in start ( I allow all). Once installed it self it continues to ask the permissions to look for album cover (again I grant it). Then I get notification that "Permission to bind widgets is NOT granted!", not sure should this come always ( it did not come on my Tablet 6.0 which I tried). Then it asks "Please grant it by putting any widget on your home screen!".

When trying to do this I select by long press the Widget, I get check box to validate to allow access to widget " after you create the widget....) I select the check box and hit CREATE (but unlike on my tablet where it works) I do not get any additional selection for the widget, but I returned to the select widget screen an no Widget is added to the screen.

So definitely this has something to do with permission. I verified with moboclean that the system has allowed all possible access grants to the FCC launcher. I can istall apps (like Minimap and Google maps short cuts, but none of the widgets.

Here you can find screen shots & Video of my issue.

All help much appreciated.

Additional info. So the unit in Rockchip PX3 variant. As I thought the problem lies on permissions I've have now rooted (kingroot succesfully) the device also , but same results.. or actually little bit worse as after installation and trying to put any widget on the screen the FCC launcer will go to newer ending loop relaunching the home screen on and on again. Only by removing the program Do I get it to stop this loop.

Here's link to the LogCat file
[Android Head-Units] pa.ko:
In general settings you have option to turn on and configure auto brightness.

But in order it to work, you have to set built-in brightness settings on HU display settings to something other than 'Auto' (which sets brightness to HU default levels when headlights are turned on and off, which overrides FCC settings)

I set my to Bright or something in HU settings and enabled FCC autobrightness on and everything works perfectly.

Two more notes:

Be sure to disable all other autobrightness functions of otherapps or xposed modules. Look thoroughly if you are using custom ROMs as much of them include such additional modules or built-in features. They all are interfering with FCC.

Also be sure you have correct time and time zone set. Without it brightness cannot work properly.

Hi, guys!

I had some time to fix various small bugs. New release is uploaded.

I've also added a simple weather widget (which is based on OpenWeatherMap.org data). They have a very limited free option - up to 60 updates per minute. Therefore, currently the weather is updated every 60 minutes. I will add an ability your personal API number (you can get it for free on OpenWeatherMap.org site), which will allow you to update weather data more frequently.

into this launcher. I really want to love it. But the bugs are driving me insane. Does anyone else have any of these issues?

System: PX5 octa core 4 gig ram/32 gig hd

Bugs:

1. Artist and track not displaying correct data. Constantly having to restart fcc. Now even restarts don't work and it is stuck on one song title. No options in widgets to re-add the widget so sticking having to reinstall everything. Wallpaper works

2. When trying to use Bluetooth after Spotify crashes(most days) using the steering wheel controls keeps trying to use Spotify. No matter how I kill the app it relaunches it and won't let me change songs via steering wheel.

3. Whole system crashing once every couple days. Everything locks up. Can't get into apps to reboot. Have to wait it out or turn off car.

4. After recent update all icons and font on left side of screen have enlarged quite a bit. When I go to manually adjust and match other icons it says it should match but doesn't.

5. Trip stats rarely reset on their own.

6. Icons are random in terms of icon pack. Tried to use an icon pack but some worked some not. Wasn't worth the time going through it all.

There are other small minor things I can't think of but it has gotten me to the point of just trying something else. I've unistalled and reset it up 3 times now with constant bugs.

Any tips? Thanks for all the hard work. Just doesn't seem to work well on my system
