[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
I am seriously missing the FCC updates ... I even use to get up extra early each morning to see what was new, and get it loaded and tried out before work.

FCC certainly advanced in leaps and bounds during that past year, and now it really does just about everything one could want.

I look forward to [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] having more time in the future to get back into some new FCC features, whatever they may be ... certainly something to look forward to ..
[Android Head-Units] ab1702:
Overall FCC is working pretty solid for me probably the best it has been since I’ve had it although I still have a couple of little niggles with the player widget.

1. I only use the dab-z and Apple Music apps in player widget and I have the setting in fcc sound settings to restart the last player used. When fcc is restarted when I start the car then it will not restart either of these two apps so the unit stays silent unless I manually start them.

2. When using the unit if I change from dab-z to Apple Music then Apple Music will start playing and dab-z stops and the artwork will change, then after a few seconds the artwork and artist goes back to dab-z but with Apple Music still playing the music. The only way to rectify this is to kill the dab-z app and then the artwork and artist goes back to Apple Music.

If these 2 little nibbles were ironed out in future then for me it would be perfect. (The Bluetooth widget never shows the name of my connected device either but I can live with that)
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
I seem to recall Speedfire saying that that was a issue with the Android OS and the way widgets work.

It cannot determine the name of an already connected device, but it can detect the name of a device if the widget is running when the device connects.

So if you disconnect & then re-connect the Bluetooth device, when FCC is fully started & running, it should stat to display the Bluetooth name correctly.
[Android Head-Units] Kozakewycz86:
Hi Speedfire, thank you for putting together a fantastic launcher for us, the mini map is just awesome! :D

I have a quick question regarding locking the screen once the setup is complete. We can do this by a long press to bring up the window setup and then clicking the lock symbol in the bottom right corner, however once this has been done there doesn't appear to be a way to unlock it again, as you can't get back to that screen!

How do you unlock the workspace again? Having the option to lock and unlock in the main FCC settings would be handy! (If it's not already there and I've missed it.) :good:
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
You need to do a long click on the screen again and the locker symbol comes up again in the corner down right. Then immediately press this locker symbol and the setting is unlocked again.
[Android Head-Units] Kozakewycz86:
Doh, I obviously didn't see that the first time round as I had a widget in that corner! :eek:

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] ElMery:
Good morning to you all, I just wanna ask a thing:

I have an Eonon GA9163k head unit with mtk arm A7 CPU and I read mtk CPUs are not supported by this launcher.

This means it cannot run on these head units or it is just less optimized?

And so if I can use it what model should I select on the configuration? (tablet I guess)

Thank you!
[Android Head-Units] Peaudepailles:
Hello sososami. Can you explain me how you installed it please? I saw it was not possible to install launcher on Hyundai tablet (risk of bricking it).

Widget problem

Hi, i have some problems with these widget:

- Bluetooth/wifi: I want to show only the wifi and i disable the bluetooth one in settings but on every boot (start launcher on wakeup from standby) it shows both until i enter again in settings also don't touching nothing

-Streetname: The problem is similar to upper one, on some boot it shows the street name with very small size and doesn't work the press function. It start working when i enter setting.

My device is an Atoto A6 Standard but i don't think it depends on MCU. Someone else has these or similar problems?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Hi, guys!

The busy season at work was crazy enough. Now it's easier and I'm back to the FCC Launcher development.

Let's start with a new alpha 3.221:

1) [New] Built-in USB TPMS support!

You need a supported USB TPMS device (most Chinese TPMS devices should work just fine but this is not guaranteed obviously). I've ordered this (no ad - just the most cheap at that moment) and tested it with FCC Launcher. One of my beta-testers had issues with another similar device (I ordered it as well and I hope to fix those).

Features:

- You can place a widget for each tire anywhere on your home screen and show pressure / temperature or both

- If something goes wrong (low pressure etc. you will see a warning pop-up):

- You can tap on this warning to delay this warning by 30 minutes

- A fully functional built in app for TPMS is built in into the launcher (you need to delete your previous TPMS app):

2) [New] Routing on MiniMap with Yandex Navigator

This is probably mostly useful for Russia, Turkey, Ukraine and other countries where Yandex's positions are strong. But maybe it will work in other regions as well. Now routing on MiniMap can be done using Yandex route calculation. I've also added a pop-ups for turns. No key is required for now.

3) Other

- Neutron pause fix

- Found and fixed a bug lead to a double calculation of location. Performance should slightly increase. Marker may move / rotate smoother.

Downloads:

This version is not uploaded to the beta channel. It is only available here.

Alpha with TPMS enabled: FCC Launcher 3.221 alpha (if the launcher crashes with your tpms device use this version as a backup)
[Android Head-Units] tebukan:
the program is getting great. If you can adapt the radio program in the link I would be very happy. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dubaidroid.radio
[Android Head-Units] VBA_Dev:
Speedfire, I uploaded a logcat a few weeks ago on here for my Sofia unit where the speedo, sound volume and gps do not seem to function correctly. Are you able to look at this please?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Unfortunately, some (newer) Sofia devices cannot be integrated with the Launcher. The producer of these devices excluded any possibility for third party apps to control these devices.

This relates to the volume control, brightness control etc. Speedometer however should work fine. Log doesn't show anything interesting - widgets are updated, according to the log. Please send me a video with the speedometer issues.

I will get one of these Joying Android 8.1 Intel Airmont eight-core 1.8GHz SC9853i (4GB RAM, 32GB flash) within this week.

I will try to get FCC working on it... May I use the settings for PX5?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
You can try, but Joying is another problematic device which has compatibility issues with FCC Launcher. Intel likes to change the standard Microntek / PX5 software so it becomes non-compatible.
[Android Head-Units] sambhasanbiswas:
SpeedFire, am really glad to see you back here. Missed those daily updates for over a month.

As mentioned earlier, am using headunit with MCU CSN2 with PX5 processor. I would be glad if you can help with the 'Speed dependent volume control' and integration of FM radio with the launcher

Apart from that in the latest stable built I found that 'Airtel Wynk' music player is not supported. (i.e. it is not even available in the musicplayer drop-down list). But I remember that earlier it was listed as a supported music player.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
As they are getting popular, I would appreciate if we could get it compatible... ;)

The unit will first be used on the bench (I got a really good working PX% in the car) as long as it would be needed. I will root the unit directly and would be able to provide all necessary traces and files.
[Android Head-Units] tonimontoia:
[MENTION=1633144]speedfire[/MENTION] and it is possible to write the texts in the music widget that are not fixed but that turn so you can read the whole title of the song thanks

STOP posing the same crap over and over. He heard you the first time, we don't need this thread cluttered w/ you pasting the exact same thing 3 times!!
[Android Head-Units] oddvarr:
This is a GREAT!!!!! launcher.

I am quite new to Android head units. Just got my HU on friday and accidentally stumbled uppon FCC. But WOW! Really amazing stuff [MENTION=1633144]speedfire[/MENTION]

I have quite a few things I dont get as I would right now. But I think a bit more fiddling around would be good before asking questions on simple things.

Not new to tweaking and fiddling though. Had a carputer with Streetdeck from MP3Car.com back on 2006 or so.

Will try out a bit more and return with some questions after a bit I guess.
[Android Head-Units] Ben.suffolk:
I have been thinking about getting a TPMS setup for a while, but never bothered as I was not sure what the software would be like, but now you adding support I think it might be a worth while hardware purchase!
[Android Head-Units] PhusioN02:
I'm not able to get the TPMS widget or program to see my sensors, I've tried disabling TPMS in factory setting as you cant delete the original TPMS app, I'm running a xtrons te706pl MCU 3.07SP hal9 8.0View attachment 4754708View attachment 4754709View attachment 4754710
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
You need to put TPMS widget on your home screen and Enable TPMS (!) in the widget settings (alternitively go to FCC Settings -> System -> Advanced -> Enable TPMS). Then you may need to restart launcher or even reboot your device.

P.S. If it will not work after that, then your device may not be supported.
[Android Head-Units] PhusioN02:
It is enabled in FCC, I have the widget on my home screen, if you need me to test or provide anything just ask, btw the voltage widget does not work for me, could it be connected
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
No it is not connected (voltage widget works on FlyAudio devices only).

If you have a root you can record LogCat log (see the 1st post in this thread) - start recording - restart the launcher - stop recording after a minute or so. But please try to reboot your head unit first.
[Android Head-Units] PhusioN02:
I will get back to you with the logcat, I've rebooted the hu numerous times when I enabled and disabled the original TPMS
[Android Head-Units] tonimontoia:
but to make the tpms work the standard one of the machine or a separate module thanks
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Launcher supports separate USB TPMS devices. There was a link in my post to my device.
[Android Head-Units] tebukan:
hello speedfire. I have dasaita px3 device and tpms. can i use? Do you also integrate the program on the link? this is radio program in turkey. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dubaidroid.radio
[Android Head-Units] PhusioN02:
Here's my logcat, one is FCC restart and the other is the original TPMS starting, if I've done these wrong let me know, thanks
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Logs are fine.

It looks like you try to use a built-in TPMS device.

My integration currently works with external USB devices (dongles) like this one:

link

What is your device?

P.S. Can you also send me your TPMS apk? I need to check how hard it is to integrate it.
[Android Head-Units] tonimontoia:
but also the sensors need to be installed or are the serial ones okay?
[Android Head-Units] PhusioN02:
It's an xtrons tpms05 https://xtrons.co.uk/tyre-pressure-monitoring-system-tpms05,

It looks like a generic USB TPMS with an adaptor

I've tried backing up the TPMS apk, it does not show in the list, is there an app that you can recommend to backup the apk
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
Titanium backup.

I'll say it again as you've now asked four times in 3 pages. STOP ASKING, ALL YOU ARE IS ANNOYING AND ANNOYING PEOPLE GET NOTHING.

STOP posing the same crap over and over. He heard you the first time, we don't need this thread cluttered w/ you pasting the exact same thing 3 times!!

Some Questions

First off; Great App, I upgraded to the pro/paid version pretty quickly.

First - I was doing some customizations and all of a sudden started having issues with the player widget updating. It started being delayed from my steering wheel buttons and then it pretty much froze and even though songs would change the display showed the same thing. This was consistent across players. For instance if I started on FM radio it displayed a radi station, if I changed stations it still displayed the original station I was on when it booted up. If I went to spotify it still showed the radio station, if I went to poweramp, same thing. I figured I screwed something up... so I reapplied the page template, that didnt seem to fix anything. Then I decided to uninstall/reinstall the app. Is there something I am missing? Did I screw up some permissions or something?

Second - since I reinstalled, I didn't see the upgrade arrow in the corner, did it automatically reinstall the full version? How can I tell? Album art wasn't working in the 3 minutes I had in my commute to test, but the text was changing correctly again.

Third - The Wifi/Bluetooth widget - So can there be a color change to the icon in addition to the icon changing depending on status. While the icon changing is nice, the Bluetooth dots are not as easy to spot as it would be if both the icon and the color changed depending on status.

Fourth - Minimap widget - I got my own API, and was getting directions to work in the minimap, but noticed some strange behavior. For instance I hit the mic button, and told it McDonalds. It found a McDonalds, but one about 15 miles from me, when I know there is one about 4 miles from me. I tried the same thing with Walmart, and the same thing happened, it found one, but not the closest. I try verbally telling it an address, and the wheel spins a while, then pops up with the address in text at the bottom of the window, but then goes back to thinking and after 5+ minutes it is still thinking. If I setup a location in the buttons, once I get it setup, Directions work fine in the minimap for that location. I tried phrases like Closest McDonalds, or Closest walmart, and that either spun and spun and never figured it out, or simply failed.

Update Edit: Went out at lunch and tested, the player is working correctly again, and the album art all shows up like it should from the players, so whatever was going on seems to have been fixed with the reinstall.

GS 3.07sp

Here's the backup from titanium, if I have copied it wrong please let me know
[Android Head-Units] Th0m4s88:
I found a small problem with the player widget. If the FM radio app is running in the background but not having audio focus it still tries to find other frequencies when the set frequency for the set radio programm isn't available anymore. If that the app finds a new frequency in the background the player widget information changes back to the radio app instead of showing the information of the app having audio focus at that moment.

There's one other thing I'd like to ask: Is it possible somehow to get the last player used before standby (when the unit is started from cold boot it works) to start playing after starting the head unit? I'm using Blackplayer at the moment and I allways have to press play manually when the device wasn't completely shut down and used fast boot.

By the way when the device was cold booted the last player starts playing again but there's a really long break between the device being completely booted up and the player getting the play command from FCC. I've set the delay for that action to 1 sec (0 is not avaliable by the way but there's still a message in the settings that 0 means FCC manages the delay automatically) but it still takes about 30 seconds from boot up finished to play command sent.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I've prepared a version which can try to read (into the LogCat log only for now) data from your generic TPMS adapter.

Please record 2 logs:

1) Open your native TPMS app and record into LogCat log a 1 minute of readings.

2) Close your TPMS app and just record some time on your home screen (I need to understand if this data is sent by TPMS app in background or when the app is opened only).

The version: FCC 3.121 tpms test

Hello!

This topic has many pages, and I could not find anything related to my simple question:

I bought from china a multimedia from Ownice, a K3 Low (Android 9 - PX30 - 4 Core - 2g + 16g).

https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/Ownice-C500-2G-RAM-1024-600-android-6-0-support-wifi-4G-SIM-LTE-Network-DAB/32752740132.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.7f27b90a97aiXY

Is it too problematic to work with this launcher? I would like to use this launcher because the current one does not have many customizations for the user.
[Android Head-Units] le_mi:
Try and test it. If it doesn't work you can switch back easily.
[Android Head-Units] Welton311:
My concern is not being able to get back to the original, but if it's that easy, I'll try!
[Android Head-Units] le_mi:
You can uninstall it like every other app. I've do it too and I am back on original. ;)

Feature Request

It would be great to have a widget that displays battery on your connected cellphone. (I use my cellphone as a hotspot to give the headunit internet, so knowing how it's battery is doing would be nice)

The trip widget: I can't tell when it resets itself. It seems in the morning when I go to work it starts fresh, when I came home at lunch time today it was fresh again, but when I ran an errand about 2.3 hours later it still had much lunch trip so it just kept going from there. Is there a time period between when it resets? can we get an option on the widget to specify a reset time from inactivity?
[Android Head-Units] PhusioN02:
Tried this version and it doesn't pickup the sensors, I'll get the logcat later today

If it's any help I think the app is probing the USB that is a custom plug on the unit, maybe it might call it up with a different name specific to the tpms, thank for looking into this
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
As I said this TPMS data (if anything is captured) can only be seen in LogCat for now. So I need these logs.
[Android Head-Units] PhusioN02:
Here is the logcat, did 1 min in original tpms and exited then 1 min on home screen, the tpms program should send a warning for low/high tyre pressure and temp but never tried this
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Thank you! Unfortunately the Launcher didn't catch anything related to TPMS data :(

No easy way for this integration.
[Android Head-Units] PhusioN02:
Thanks for trying, if you need me to test anything just quote me
[Android Head-Units] n.manzari:
Fantastic launcher... The best. I've to solve to issues:

- updating of widget with names of song and artist

- api to use mini map as navi

Can anyone help me?

I have this problem
[Android Head-Units] VBA_Dev:
Hi Speedfire, I’ve noticed that the speedo works after a reboot, but then stops working after the head unit has been to sleep.. a similar issue was reported a while back and you asked for a logcat but the user was not rooted.
[Android Head-Units] Xorit:
[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

could you maybe have a look at the album art function?

Recently its picking up app icons, if the song has no artwork to it.

Meaning the standard artwork of the widget is shown (the preset ones) until something happens in the background which somehow triggers the widget to catch an icon.

in my case it's usually the blue Google icon

[Android Head-Units] Dbrdmkr:
Hello,

First of all many thanks to the dev for his wonderful Launcher and the support that you provide on it.

I paid the full version, like many here becouse you really disserve it.

Before yours, I used agama Launcher, but I really like all options of yours and most of it the live map!!

I've stared to read the all thread but it is huge. Also I do not know if what I want request is already a option nor already discuss.

I would like the possibility to add lot of apps in the apps widget but it allow only few and it is fix. Can you add some kind of scrolling so we can add more.

Thank again
[Android Head-Units] Dbrdmkr:
... I realize that whatI ask is not possible as it is. So I would like reformulated.

Is it possible for you to create a multiraw widget where, we can place several applications we can then select on demande. This widget may have setting where we can choose scrolling and adjusting label and icon size of apps in the widget.

This will allow us to have access to many apps without fill-up all the screen with icon.

Also, got another question. We the unit wake from sleep all apps start as it should. Only live map stay black.i have to tilt the screen so the map appear.

Any idea?
[Android Head-Units] sambhasanbiswas:
Hi,

I see that for there are certain problems with the mini-map road name section. SpeedFire can you look into this?

• Road name auto sizing does not work on-the-go. The size remains constant based on the current road name i.e text size is selected based on the current road name displayed while checking the auto size check box.

• Road name is not fetched properly. I tried this on Mobile phone, the problem occurs rarely

• If no road name is found, it shows the last road name fetched instead of blank which is little miss leading.

Am attaching few images, see if they help by any chance.

View attachment 4758893

As you can see the road name should be ‘Salt lake Bypass’ but it is showing ‘Ring Road’ which I crossed hours ago.

View attachment 4758895

Screen I - from car headunit

View attachment 4758896

Screen II - from mobile

As you can see both cases (Screen I and Screen II) the location are exactly same, but only the phone shows correct road name.
[Android Head-Units] r_james_s:
Hi Speedfire,

I've noticed a few small issues lately. I'm running the latest release 3.220, but they existed in previous releases.

The unit will switch from CD/DVD to radio after a voice call or message on the voice call stream, everytime. This behaviour may also occur when navigating with Waze, I can't recall.

The unit will switch from CD/DVD to radio at random

If DAB was the last used source before shutdown, it takes a random time start after a reboot. Sometimes never, sometimes multiple times.

When changing DAB stations with MFSW (steering wheel) buttons, FCC will crash, particularly when DAB-Z is playing in the background behind navigation, say Waze.

I haven't tested extensively, this is just what I can remember. Let me know if you want me to test a specific scenario and report back findings, also if you need any more info.

Many thanks! :)

How can i find more skins for FCC launcher?

Can I use the BMW iDrive controller and the steering wheel buttons to control/select or only the touchscreen?

And is it possible to set "Deezer" as default music app?
