@SpeedFire-

Here is my video. It shows, that brightness widget icon is not shown after boot. You can see this on the top left side at the end of the video. Icon shows up, when I click the button. Also, when I click the button, auto brightness function start working. Before click, brightness is always on high level.
[Android Head-Units] sbruda:
Long time no see but I got back on the bleeding edge (test 85 from the beta version in the Play store) in the hope of some support for button binding and other goodies on the CSN2 platform. Alas that turns out not to be the case, but overall the test version seems to be a bit snappier and I have not noticed any regression bugs from the Play store version with the exception of the following:

In the test 85 version when I hide the mini-map and then I display it again it stops tracking. Tracking resumes after interacting with the map in any way (for example, enabling the "north always up" option and then reverting to "direction of movement up").
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Yes it helped. Now it should be fixed: fcclauncher-3.442_test87.apk

I've also noticed the Time widget bug mentioned above. However I can't tell if it finally fixed in this version or not. Please test.
[Android Head-Units] shdwkeeper:
Ok deleting this skin and reinstalling it fixed the app widget disappearing. The auto brightness bug is still there though.
[Android Head-Units] daemondee:
I tried test87 today and the brightness widget is now properly displayed after fcc start.

I didn't noticed bug with clock widget. :)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Hi, thanks for your feedback.

This bug should be fixed in this version: fcclauncher-3.442_test88.apk

I've also made additional changes to ensure proper Time widget updates
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Thanks, the initial App widget settings bug is fixed in test87. :)

As I already mentioned yesterday, there's now a bug with the text alignment of App widgets, which doesn't stick and changes erratically when restarting FCC, please see attached video.

On my main FCC screen that you see in the video, I have the widget text "Wetter" right aligned and "Radar" left aligned to have them next to each other but look like one text field. The same applies to "Mod" which I have right aligned and "Einst." which I have left aligned.

At the start of the video, you see that they are properly displayed. At 00:14, 00:26 and 00:40 in the video you see different variations of these texts not being properly aligned, thus showing gapps between the texts.

In the settings of these widgets, the text alignment doesn't change when this happens. Only the actual display on the screen is buggy.

Please have a look after this bug. To reproduce it, you can use the backup which I sent you yesterday. The only difference in the video is that I placed an extra FCC Restart icon on the main screen.

Edit: For some reason, I couldn't add the MP4 to the post, so I had to zip it.
[Android Head-Units] Physen:
I tested it within an hour, the clock widget worked fine
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Can you please check this version: fcclauncher-3.442_test89.apk
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Thanks, this fixes the erratically changing text alignment issue. :)

However, both test89 and test88 (which I just checked) force close every 2-3 minutes, please see attached logcat. :( (The FCs have been at about 8:03, 8:06 and 8:08 o'clock.)

I hope that you can soon fix this, because besides these FCs test89 seems to have fixed the remaining functional issues that I had observed.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Thanks. Please try this: fcclauncher-3.442_test90.apk
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Thanks a lot for the quick reply and fix! :)

I can confirm that the recent force closes are fixed in test90 and (judging from a 30 minutes drive) everything now works as intended for me. If it stays like this, this is the most complete, bug free and smootly working version since you started reworking FCC and its widgets. :cool:(y)

I hope that other users can confirm this for test90 too.

If I should still observe some issues, of course I will report them.

There's one small cosmetic issue in the text alignment section of the widget settings perhaps: I see four buttons, but they don't have a symbol or text in them, so the user has to try them. I know that 2nd button is "left aligned", 3rd is "centered" and 4th is "right aligned", but what's the 1st button for? Edit: Added a photo to explain what I mean.

Thanks again and keep up the good work!

Edit: Also on my way home this evening I didn't see any bugs on test90.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Album art rotation? What do you think?

I have concerns that this may crash some slower devices. I probably need to implement some Test button to make sure it works on a particular device.
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Looks nice, but I personally don't need it.

If it's just optional and doesn't consume ressources when it's deactivated, of course I can live with it.

But generally it would be quite distracting when driving and probably is not a good idea on a head unit.

Just my 2 ct.
[Android Head-Units] kill_one:
As an optional choice it is a good idea, personally I think that even a graphic equalizer can be a distraction when driving, however if you also put the possibility to add gif images as default covers it would be the best :)
[Android Head-Units] kill_one:
@SpeedFire- with the Test90 I always have the problem of the wifi widget icon which on reactivation initially shows the bluetooth disabled icon and then switches to the icon of the active wifi connection, instead the interruption when switching to navradio+ in the widget player seems not there is more, I also always have the problem of closing fcc when I try to remap (first item) the keys of the steering wheel controls
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
Just installed t90. Full crash and stuck in a loop after about ten minutes use. Also whilst it was working the map constantly flashes on and off.
[Android Head-Units] tonimontoia:
it is not possible to insert the old bluetooth and wifi widget, at least I cannot find a suitable alignment
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Hi @SpeedFire-

I now had some time to test the last 3 builds.

No crashes so far and no real visible hick-ups beside one which is in there since some time:

My homescreen lookes like this: (12,8" screen size by the way)

Please compare time, font size and icon sizes in buttons and on screen.

The only way to get the correct sizes back is to restart Fcc.

View attachment 5456957

If I use the button right bottom, my screen switches to split screen and I changed the sizes for icons, pictures and icons to match the reduced visibility, so this is quite fine in the following picture.

View attachment 5456959

When I now switch back to full screen mode in Fcc, I have different sizes of my icons, fonts and pictures...

I would expect that the original full screen mode would switch the sizes back to normal, but that doesn´t happen. I need to restart Fcc to get the full screen sizes back.

View attachment 5456961

If you need anything like logs, please give me a hint. I would be able to collect whatever is needed and I am able to.

- Fixed crash for MapBox users

- Initial support for rotated animated album arts (but can be buggy)
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
Faults are one thing but the constant efforts to fix them is first class. Thanks @SpeedFire-
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
t91 installed. Map is still flashing, Google or Mapbox. Crashed and wouldn't restart. Blank screen. Had to power cycle ignition to reboot, then FCC would always report App not working. Back on t83 no issues.
[Android Head-Units] okij:
If your device is rooted, please install Logcat Extreme from Play Store and provide log of crash for @SpeedFire-.

[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
Will do thank you
[Android Head-Units] tonimontoia:
I tried circular album, now the problem that I can no longer remove it under which menu was who can tell me thank you very much
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Album Art section of player widget settings. You may need to restart the launcher after that.
[Android Head-Units] tonimontoia:
Thanks
[Android Head-Units] sbruda:
Hello,

Application autostart no longer works, meaning that I have been having an app to start in the setting since the current Play Store beta but with the test versions it does not start anymore (on test92 and also as far back as test 86). Do I need to redo any setting on this matter or is it a regression? This is all on a PX6 CSN2. Thank you so much.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Autostart works for me. Just checked on PX5 and Emulator. Please check your settings.
[Android Head-Units] VMPhil:
I did install a weather app and the widgets did show up. I will try Nova Launcher.
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
Please look at your permissions.

Settings/apps/FCC launcher/permissions

Give all possible permissions you see.

Reboot device. And look at you widget list

Maybe it help you.
[Android Head-Units] Mazasi:
Is there a way to control volume with gesture in this launcher? For example draw clockwise circle to increase, counter-clockwise to decrease?

Doesn't work for me, do I need premium version? How can I get it btw, pressing purchase premium does nothing on my device. I have tesla style chinese head unit, is this launcher even supported on this style of head unit?
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
Can you tell us what system you use?

Mtcb or mtcD enz

You can see it at settings/device info
[Android Head-Units] Mazasi:
Not sure what you mean, in device info it says as such

Android: SD8227_HW:1.0_SW:0.3.4_20170829

system 6.0

kernel 3.4.35

CPU: ARMv7 Processor rerv3 (v7l) X4

MCU: HW0227-0.1-SW0-6.1

Hope this gives you a clue what I have :rolleyes:
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
It looks like a intel device maby with rockchip . But the HW never heard of. What you can try because this is also a usable phone launcher. Is try settings and set android. Than go to setting/apps/ FCC launcher and check all the permissions (must all be on) than test your device.
[Android Head-Units] VMPhil:
some of these radio head unit devices do you not give you an option fyi. Mines does not. I have the Logcat. I just need to send it to you.
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
[MENTION=1633144]speedfire[/MENTION].

I have talk about the permissions set by the first time install with the settings Android/other.

This is what happens when done with the first install. see pic .

Don't know if this makes problems on some devices when choosing android-other
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
The logcat file must be send to [MENTION=1633144]speedfire[/MENTION]. Or you can post it here.
[Android Head-Units] VMPhil:
I know exactly what you mean. I know where it is on my Phone. some of these android units are ridiculous with how they are set up. Even rooted, I don't see the option to alter my app permissions. I have sent the log to the A.Kurapov email addy from VMPhil.

Playing with Skins...

1. Backup / Restore is not working correctly - Action Widgets (where you select app to be launched) are not restored after Restore from GDrive. They just show as 'generic' FCC icon + Setting cog.

2. Color customization of skin - it only accepts "basic" color choice (top matrix of basic colors) but lower row of brighter/darker color choices is not applied (whatever darkness choosen, the skin is rendered in same way of basic color brigntenss)

Some suggestions:

Action Widget:

- Provide more built-in icons beside possibility to select own image file (line drawn icons like in other widgets like Trip stats - where you can choose from library of built-in icons instead of file). Some basic set of built-in icons like radio, music, video player, navigation/map, browser, OBD2 etc. should be provided.

- Enable to colorize these icons (they are now just white, but it would be much better if also the color can be choose - to better fit with Skin!). BTW, this icon coloring should also be available in "Massive styling" so all icons could be easily recolored to match Skin...

"Massive styling":

- change labels (English I'm using, don't know for other languages) to be more precise of what option is what. For instance, all colors are labeled as "Color". Should be "Default background color" or "Default primary text color" etc.

- add more options to customize default settings for widgets by types. Text sizes, positioning, margins and very important Icon size (I noticed that default is 72px which is too large for 800x480 units and renders icons too big or resizes them in unpredictable way based on text length so layout is not uniform and is very bad looking without going into each and every widget and manualy fine tune icon size) etc.

- add option to either define default "massive" styling by widget type (e.g. Action Widgets could have different defaults than other widgets like Trip Stats or OBD2 etc.)

- or/and: add option to group widgets (add property "Group name" into widgets) and then to apply "massive" styling to group

(It is important to provide some better support for massive styling as interface gets more and more complex and it is realy big waste of time to go through all widgets and set everything)

Skins:

- Provide possibility to have not only background image as "Skin" but to somehow save/export package of images, icons and widget layouts (including all widget settings) so we can export / import Skins! That would be great way to enable community to start developing skins (and establish Skin Library)!

I know lot of these suggestions are big work, but I'm sharing them hopping you may find some/all of them interesting and implement them in accordance to you priorities.

Thank you for great work!

New beta is out:

- New Skin designed for MiniMap

- Top panel of MiniMap is redesigned (gradient background in map's colors)

- Some bugfixes

New skin:
[Android Head-Units] sanangel:
This skin is awesome !!!!!

Would it be possible to make a mini map with another application that was not Google Maps ?, with Sygic, for example ...
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Unfortunately not. Apps cannot be integrated into other apps. Starting from Android 8.0 it is possible to run a "windowed" mode when two apps work together simultaneously, but I doubt this will look good.
[Android Head-Units] sanangel:
Ok, thank you very much for your reply.

It's still an awesome skin that I'll try soon.
[Android Head-Units] pa.ko:
:D I'm here all the time. Enjoying.

Allowed some time to see what and where things are going. Most of the things I would suggest - already reported by others - so no reason to bloat very productive and vibrant discussion here.

I hope you are doing well and you found so much enjoyment in developing this great app as I found using it!

Small fixes in album art rotation - fcclauncher-3.442_test93.apk
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
I have installed t92. Only a small journey today and no time. Map is still flashing black to bright white back to map very quickly every 10 seconds or so. LogCAT coming tomorrow.
[Android Head-Units] okij:
If possible please record a video too. Is the Minimap quickly switching between day and night theme? Which maps provider and what type of head unit do you use?
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
@okij I shall indeed do that. I have the map set to Google. It is on Hybrid. The map is visible the flashes white then its back. Also the map is often reluctant to find my location unless I press Restart (FCC)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Can you send me your backup or at least show your map settings? I can't reproduce the issue.
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
@SpeedFire- Of course. FCC Backup
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I reproduced the issue. Kind of. Thank you!

I will rewrite this part of map initialization. It should become more efficient.

Please test
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
Wilco. Thanks
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Guys, please write if you have any significant bug on the latest test version.

I hope that it's almost ready for the Beta channel in Play Store.

What do you think?
[Android Head-Units] okij:
The last couple of test versions ran very smooth and stable on my head unit. Also test94 runs well so far, but I didn't have problems with day/night mode flickering of the Minimap before, so you have to wait for some feedback of the other users too.

Did you check if the different widgets get transfered well to the reworked widgets, so they keep their layout, text sizes and so on?

I'm asking because sometimes after installing a new test version I had to do some manual adjustments of widget settings to get the previous look again. IMHO this should be minimized as far as possible when you go on beta (and later release) channel on Play Store, so the users have a good update experience.

FCC has made a big leap forwards thanks to your rework of the widgets and all your efforts in the last couple of months! I'm looking forward to the release. :)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Can you please send me one of your old (pre-test) backups?
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Of course, please see attachment.
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
The only little bug I have is one that goes back to when you split the bluetooth and WiFi widgets. My WiFi widget doesn't work properly, the SSID doesn't stay. It just has a dash "-" instead of the SSID. If I change any of the settings for the WiFi widget, the SSID will flash for half a second and then go back to the dash.

I was even able to cause an ANR; My WiFi widget is at the top of the screen and when I press and hold to get into the settings, sometimes if my finger is up far enough, it will scroll a couple pages up, as if I wanted to move the widget. Then it will just hang for awhile and the ANR message pops up, then shortly after, you can see the settings window finally appear in the background.

Even when it does pull up the settings normally, it takes quite a while (4 to 5 seconds) for the settings window to appear.

Also, the color of the icon or text for the WiFi widget can't be changed. Doesn't matter what colors I try, it's stuck on my global color.

The only other thing I could think of is the application drawer is rather laggy and not smooth for me. But this problem has been around for a long time.

A little feature request: On the Beta/test versions of the app, it would be pretty cool to have a button somewhere in the settings that would be a direct download to the latest test version. Maybe even with a little (optional) indicator bubble somewhere saying that there is a new test version.

But overall, the app is running great and much smoother than it has in the past! I would say very close to a Beta release.

Thank you @SpeedFire- for all the hard work and constant updates you do for this great launcher!! :love:
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Yes, I second this. Also the app drawer looks a bit old fashioned and could get an optical update, e.g. I would like it to use the background image too. Besides this it would be fine if it only showed the app icons and names, plus a scrolling bar to navigate.

But this is not high priority, since we can put the most used apps on the home screen or a 2nd screen and don't often need to use the app drawer (at least that's what I do).

Another feature I would like to see is support of the app context menu by long-pressing on an App widget, e.g. for directly going to "my apps" when long-pressing on Play Store. In this context menu then also could be a button to open the widget settings.
[Android Head-Units] everpresentnoob:
Im really hoping this is the right place to ask this... Recently installed the official verson of FCC Launcher on my Eonon GA9450b. Love the launcher but some of the resident apps on the headunit either are not able to be found and placed on the launchers screns, or if I can place them, they do not open. Such as the DSP/Equalizer app. I can place it on my main screen in FCC Launcher, but when I tap it to open it, the screen flickers but the app wil not open. The only way I can open it is to go through the settings menu and reopen the stock launcher and then tap the DSP/EQ app.

Does any one have any advise?
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Hello, this is present in test94 for me 'the dash (-) instead of SSID
[Android Head-Units] okij:
@SpeedFire- There's one small graphical issue of the Player widget that I would like you to fix: If you take a look at the attached screenshot, you can see that the widget does not fully go to the bottom of the screen, but that there is a 2 pixel wide gap in which the wallpaper picture can be seen. This is not a big issue (and has been existent as long as I use FCC Launcher), but it doesn't look perfect either. I have set the background of the Player widget to dim the wallpaper to some extent and this would look perfect without the gap, since also the Minimap is fully going to the bottom of my home screen, as intended. Please have a look after this, thanks. :)

P.S. You should be able to reproduce this with my backup that I attached to post #8,149.

Hi I've got a question about the custom map settings if anyone can help me?

I'm running FCC Launcher on one of these https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001950129516.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4d4pX4iB

It's all working fine and I'm pleased with the app but I can't figure out how to use the custom map styles. I've created my own JSON file and have put it on my system. I did see a post about halfway through this tread about putting the files in an SD card folder but my unit doesn't have an SD card option. Where do I put the files? Also when I click the custom map option nothing happens eg opening a box to locate where I've put my JSON file or the app crashed and I have to clear the data and start setup from scratch.

If anyone can help that will be appreciated.

Failing that I've attached them if anyone likes them and they could be added to the program?

Thanks Tim.

[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
This requires change of global parameter "widget padding" from 5 to 0 px.

Here it is -> fcclauncher-3.442_test96.apk

However this will probably slightly change how all the widgets placed.
