I have a problem with minimap, both in beta and stable .. I tried to delete and reinstall data and apps several times but it does not resolve. In any screen remains active minimap on the screen .. Even if you disable or set a style without minimap. If active minimap is very slow and the sign of the position marks the wrong direction

Hi,

I'm trying to change the icon for Fcc launcher, install the icon pack and change it through setting. But the icon won't change. Any thoughts?

Is there any way how to change the opacity of the skin? So that make the background less visible?

Thank you

Real happy with how FCC Launcher is working for me.

Recently added support for Google Assistant work great, except one issue.

Each time the HU is power up, the automatic pausing of player, and the independent volume control for assistant, does not work, because the system has lost the required permissions for FCC.

So one has to go into FCC each time and re-enable the permissions.

Since this can be done within FCC, is there any way you can add an option in FCC to remember that setting, and if set, check it on a regular basis, and turn it back on if that option is selected.

(or maybe, that setting just is not being saved by FCC , and FCC is setting back to the default OFF, when it is re-started) ???

I am not understanding why the permission gets lost on a BOOT, or after the HU comes out of standby, but at least on my Eonon it does.

I think someone else mention this, as well as you in a reply to his post.

Since this appear not to be a one user, isolated issue, please can you see if you can address it in FCC

Thanks

If you mean Accessibility Services - this permission cannot be set programmatically. Only user can set it (otherwise Google will ban the app). As I said - on some devices this permission can be lost on each restart (I don't know why - maybe it depends on firmware).

Maybe some of these answers can help to make Accessibility Service enabled for longer periods: https://android.stackexchange.com/q...sibility-services-gets-disabled-automatically
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Good to know .. so it's a GOOGLE Play app limitation .. so in theory, a non Google Play app could set it, and that app be called by FCC when FCC starts.

---------- Post added at 01:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 AM ----------

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. :)

After some reading, I have found that at least on my Eonon p5x unit, that if I turn off Application Optimization under the Battery settings for the FCC App, then FCC does NOT loose it's Accessibility Services permissions, when the HU is either put into Standby, or when it is forced to do a full Re-boot !!

(Kind of make sense)

There is a warning when you do this about increased battery drain, but that is hardly an issue when the battery is a CAR Battery !!

Thanks yet again for your excellent support ..
[Android Head-Units] Ben.suffolk:
I have noticed that if the head unit went to sleep with the screen auto dimmed (eg it was night time when I last drove) and now it's morning, it takes about 30 seconds or so when I start the car in the morning before the screen comes back to full brightness.

I assume that's because FCC is still going through its general boot up stuff, but if there is a way to make the screen brightness come a little earlier in the process that would be pretty handy as its hard to see it on a sunny day until it's bright again.
[Android Head-Units] Xorit:
My screen brightness is controlled by headlights, which is a setting in the factory settings. Not on your end?

Bet FCC is using the clock to adjust and this is updated on wakeup ?

I Guess this have to do with getting gps data for sunset/rise. If the launcher could save the values from last boot i think it would work faster. And then correct it, if needed, when new gps data is gathered. Dunno if its an easy fix though

[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Since when the unit restarts, it does not yet know what time it is for a short period of time .. does it not make more sense to ALWAYS default to Full Brightness, so that the screen is readable at startup, for both day & night situations, and then to dim, once it detects that it is Night (if that option is set).

A remembered brightness setting from shutdown is of little use until the unit can determine the startup time of day, so if it is going to be at any potentially incorrect level, Full Brightness would seem to be the best startup option ?

Currently, I have been the opposite day-night startup mode, and find it quite acceptable,

ie Been driving during the day ,, screen is at full brightness when I shut down.

Then start the car at night .. screen starts in full brightness, and then once it realizes it is night, it dims. Seems perfectly acceptable in practice, and this is the way it would appear to work, it it always started in Full Brightness, day or night. :cool:
[Android Head-Units] WarSpaz:
Well, My clock is allways dead on event after a full reboot and lets say 48h after. I didnt mean it to remember the brightness, i meant it should remember the sunset/rise times, since it dont change all too much, even for a couple of days.

Skickat från min ONEPLUS A6003 via Tapatalk
[Android Head-Units] Ben.suffolk:
Yes I think that would be a much bette default than starting dim and getting brighter. I guess ints not FCC thats remembering the brightness level but the head unit itself, and so its not until FCC decided to update it to the correct level that it changes. So I guess whats actually required is early on in FCC init sequence it should set the brightness to full.

I guess we need [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] to say how it works, but if it is because its waiting on GPS data, then yes I agree its very unlikely the location will have changed since shutdown, and you could certainly cache that bit of data until GPS gets a signal again.

Hi, guys.

I've spent last three days (I mean free time during my vacation :) ) trying to optimize album arts. Please check the latest beta 3.098 and give feedback:

I realy have one wish in fcc. I know mabe i.m the only one and i mention this alot.

I have problems with almost evry radio stream app. And realy i test alot.

Or there dont use albumart .

Or there are no controls that make integration unpossible .

Or de app is realy good but you can make any shortcut of a Favorites.

Or the app is so havy that buffering takes 1 min.

I hope that fcc launcher can Integrat this. Mabe in small steps. It drives me crazy. Loading off all thos apps and buffering is realy not nessery.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Which Radio Stream Apps are you talking about ?

Do "ANY" use Artwork ? Difficult to imagine that they do...

They are Radio Stations - Audio only -- do any even send any Data ?

I could imagine if the app is trying to recognize the Music, and then search for artwork, and download it, there would have to be some significant buffering, if you didn't want the artwork to pop up towards the END of the particular song.
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
There are alot of players that have that. And also shortcut of you Favorites stations in home screen.

The album art is download in background of the song what plays on the radio. It grabs by title.

But all thos apps have It Perks. Also i have payd apps . I payd 10 now and all are slow . And mis things what a other player have. It drives me crazy.

I have fast unlimeted inyernet now so bitrate and al that must be no problem.

*I could imagine if the app is trying to recognize the Music, and then search for artwork, and download it, there would have to be some significant buffering, if you didn't want the artwork to pop up towards the END of the particular song.[/QUOTE]

Yes you are right. It taks time olympische the first start.

Fcc must first load the app out of sleep and send a play singnal. That's 30 sec then buffering 20 sec. Than i have music . When you have It internel in the player you dont have all that . I hope you u der stand

To be honest -- I don't understand...

You will still have that delay somewhere, either internal or external to FCC.

It just seems that all you will be achieving is adding additional complexity to FCC, and not really gaining anything.

But then, I don't need to Understand .. as long as SpeedBird does :)

I have mention a few times about the issue of the Player Widget not updating, if the Widget is being use to display, and a Player is started from Outside of the widget.

Maybe the simplest solution might be to allow the widget to be able to have more than the 3 current players assigned to it... could you possibly increase the number to 8.

Users do not have to necessarily use all 8, but for those that have more than 3 players, a selection of 8 would help.

Example of need for 8 might be.

(1) Radio

(2) Poweramp

(3) Google Music

(4) Amazon Music

(5) Pandora

(6) Sirius XM

(7) Internet FM radio

(8) ( any other one you want)

8 would be good, especially if its only an easy programming task to add the extra additional selections.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Do you really use all those players simultaneously?? Why? I always thought 3 is enough for most users / tasks.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
simultaneously at (one and) the same time, at the same instant/moment, at once, concurrently, concomitantly;

Not at the same time

.. but those are the most used ones I have on my HU, and I use them all, almost evenly .

Having them display in the same Player Widget is an obvious advantage.

The problem I experience, is that if I independently select any player that is NOT in the 3 defined in the widget, the widget does not know that it is that player playing, and therefore does not update its Artwork or title information.

I had suggested earlier that the player widget monitored the current player, and if it was not one of the 3 that can be selected by the widget, that it synced to the current player, but then it occurred to me that a simpler solution might be to have the Widget itself be able to select, and thus know about the other players... so this is why I suggested increasing the number to 8.

Those users who are happy with just 3, can continue to just define 3, those that want 4, could define 4 etc and it seemed that 8 was a reasonable high number that would satisfy everyone, without being overly excessive.

I Did not have the time to edit the dutch translation. Today i Will edit dutch .
[Android Head-Units] Xorit:
Your post is a bit lost in translation there, but I think I got your point:

When you wake the unit from sleep FCC is on screen and you don't see anything behind the scenes anymore.

I do have a similar thing, but recently discovered, that it's more an Android thing.

I use Neutron to play all my music and since it also can play radio streams, this is my fav player.

->

Now, every single time the HU wakes up, it takes about 10secs until Wifi is connected and while this waiting time the player already tries to connect to the stream and locks itself while trying.

This trying is often much longer than it takes the Wifi to connect, so I ended up with a dash button doing (play/pause) to manually start the playback.

Equipment used: 4G Wifi mobile router -> Car Ignition lets it wakeup, Wifi is visible in a blink

See, your problem is not FCC or the heavy weight and buffering radio apps, it's the fact that after wakeup, Android needs some time to startup the Wifi interface and connect.

While doing that the player already tries to auto-play and therefore locks itself up..

Try Tasker:

check state: Wifi connected

wait 1sec

start player

send media button play
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
Fcc launcher have also that option. Wait sec then start. And the option automatic. Mabe its a good one to add when wifi conect then wait "sec" then play . Or when wifi conect then "sec" forse play even when player is pauze.

I also like still the option to add a stream URL to player to not be independent for secondery player.

Very powerfull app that comunicate with your phone. Like *send sms from HU* *share files* *locations* reply to Whatsapp* enz .

*Shortcut creator.

Makes shortcuts of almost evry thing.

*Overlays.

This one you can put any widgets of FCC where you want. Also on top of a other widget. Or statusbar . There a some more thing you can do.

Give us back our buttons please!

I got to try today the new system for binding buttons to actions. I found that the system works reasonably well, though very few buttons are detected (I believe that the SWC buttons work but the front panel ones do not). In any event, in order to test the whole thing I assigned a button under FCC for testing purposes. I did my tests, and then I wanted to go back to my tried and tested way (mtce-utils). Problem is, I don't know how. I found no means to tell FCC to forget about that button and not intercept it any longer.

To summarize once I bind a button to some action in FCC, it appears impossible to remove the binding. I can change the button, I can change the action, but I found no way to remove the binding altogether (so that all the buttons revert to being available outside FCC).

If I am missing something, please advise on how to remove a button assignment from FCC. If I am not missing anything and unbinding buttons is not possible, please fix this hijacking asap. Many thanks!

I think I have a better solution.

3.101 beta:

- Player widget: if currently playing player is not within 3 quickplayers it will be shown as a 4th player

You can add several player widgets for your 8 players.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Thanks .. that sounds ideal..

Let me make sure I understand :0

(a) So 3 defined players, and the 4th player is automatically assigned to whatever (none of the 3 ) player is currently playing, and the widget updates with that 4th Players info (assuming that FCC knows how to read from that player)

(b) And that 4th player will automatically change if another player NOT on the List of 3 is selected directly (ie Not by the widget).

So, we end up with a Player widget that can itself select 1 of 3 Players as defined in the widget, but that can also work with any other player that COULD have been defined, ie That FCC knows how to work with.

That is so IDEAL ... Thanks -and better than having to define a selected 8.

I assume in the extreme, you not not select any players for the 3, and the widget will still work with the current playing player (if it know how to).

You just won't be able to select the 3 players from the widget, which , if you have more than 3 players, makes it less complicated in any case, so a Win-Win solution.

I'll check it out and report back.

BTW: Thank you for adding Amazon Music... Song and title work, but not Artwork. (will check again with the latest Beta)

I don't know if you have Amazon, or Amazon Prime, that gives you included access to Amazon Music -- if not, you can get a 1 month FREE trial of Amazon Prime to test with. If you have any problems in doing that from Russia, let me know, and I will "make it happen for you" :)

Hi speedfire,

FCC is a really good piece of software where I ended up after trying out many launchers on my PX5 - 4GB - MTCE. Thanks for your work.

Yes, that is how it is designed now. There could be problems with some stock players (like FM radio, A2DP etc) because I could not test this now, but normal third party android players should be recognized.

So I determined that youtube does show album art oddly but has pandora highlighted. When I press pandora it opens pandora and switches to just a grey circle. Same thing occurs w/ jet audio. I have enabled FCC Media Listener notification access, is there something else I must enable? Perhaps I need a specific version of pandora? I am using an older version for unlimited skips (v 8.71).

I wasn't sure the best way to parse the log to make it easier for you so I just included the entire thing perhaps to see if something is amiss or not. I've had this issue since the original version of FCC last year.

One image shows pandora highlighted but while playing youtube. That is what that album art is from.

The other one is actually pandora playing and no album art. Same thing appears for jet audio.
