Hi I have a px6 with mcu 3.40 and since today's update Google minimap only loads after I start the car and the launcher loads if I extra restart the launcher. I have removed the home screen with the minimap and configured a new one and even removed all satellite widgets and placed them again on all screens. Still problem prevails

Am I the only one with minimap issues? No one else has the issue that when you start the car and the launcher loads you have to extra restart it to get minimap working?
[Android Head-Units] swyner:
Works for me on px6. Launcher loads on car start (from either sleep mode or fresh) and mini map loads with it.
[Android Head-Units] matrixx1:
Interesting for me 2 of 10 times it doesn't load without lain her restart. Also f the launcher dosent load automatically at startup. You have to press home button to get the launcher to load. So I set up a macrodroid task to do that, when screen turns on it launches homescreen. This is the only way for me to start the launcher automatically, otherwise headunit loads some app form the recent menu not the home screen.
[Android Head-Units] ChiefWilNel:
this might be dumb question but does fcc launcer add more bluetooth functionality, as in I can only connect to phones using the bt phone app there is no "connected devices" section to manually search for bt devices
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
No questions about BT are Dumb -- It's only BT that is itself "DUMB".

Trouble with BT is that mostly it just "works" so few actually need to figure out HOW.

When it does not work, then the problems start, and it is difficult to get to the bottom of any perceived BT issue.

To "try" to answer your question,( I am still trying to figure out the details of BT) I do not believe that FCC adds any additional BT Functionality, but it does provide some way to access the already present functionality.

ie You can have a FCC BT widget that shows the BT connection state, and even optionally control it, but only be calling up an already intalled BT control APP.

There should be an area in SETTING on your Device, that allows you to see BT paired devices, and add/delete paired devices, scan for available new BT devices, and control in what way they connect .. ( ie Phone, Media, Contacts etc- not all Devices connect in all Modes. - but your phone should ideally connect in all those 3 modes at the same time)
[Android Head-Units] ChiefWilNel:
my unit has andriod 8.1 , 8.1 has section "connected devices" you can turn on/off bluetooth nfc and things like that or go deeper into bt settings. the "connected devices" setting is missing.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
My Eonon is also 8.1

AT the moment, I am not fully up to speed with BT - I have about 3-4 Apps that do various thing, some came with the HU, some I got from Google Play Store.

And then there is the head units "Settings".

BT in the car for me is Hit-and Miss, and since I don;t use it that much, I have not yet taken the time to sort it all out.

My 1st Goal is to get the Phone to Connect to the HU when I get into the car, but so far, I have not been that successful.

the FCC BT widget does help, in telling me if I have any BT connection, but it is not 100% reliable, and currently does not indicate what modes BT is connected in .. (Phone, Media or Contacts etc)

It only seem to indicate Connected if PHONE Mode BT is ON, and its connection status does not seem to car about the status of Media or Contacts.

I brought this up a few months ago, but there were far more urgent and important things that needed fixing at that time, so I have no idea if there will be any enhancement planned for the BT widget.

Personally, the Google Drive not working for backup/restore issue is far more important to me, that enhancing the Status display of the BT widget ;)

Made things WAY worse. Now the touch screen no longer responds. Went and bought s usb mouse to maneuver around. And figure out how to get it working again. :(

Also now it finds wifi and connects. But wont load any pages.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Sounds like your head unit might be dying.

Have you tried backing up your FCC setting, and then uninstalling FCC, so see if your Unit returns to full operation with it's oem Launcher. ?

The Touch screen no longer responding sounds like a Hardware issue, not FCC. Removing FCC would determine 100% if FCC is really causing all your issues.

You can always re-install it and if needed, restore the settings backup you did before uninstalling FCC
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
Sweet! Restore from google drive worked first try for me! That hasn't been the case for quite some time now... It usually took around 3 to 4 attempts and reboots before it would work.

I uninstalled the previous version, deleted any left over FCC folders (except the one with the offline MBT tiles), rebooted the unit, and then installed FCC as normal ( I do go through and give all permissions to FCC immediately after install is complete and before any wizards run), and then restore from Google drive and it went PERFECT! Thank you!!! [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] :good:

Maybe it could be done so as to be able to choose which player to start at startup, not the last used ... I know you can choose it in the autostart settings, but sometimes it goes crazy and fires the user selected and then automatically switches to another ... I don't know why is this happening...
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
+1

I still find the FCC will restart playing one player, and then magically switch to another after the 1st one starts playing .. and may even switch again a few seconds later.

This happens even when NEUTRON is not installed.

NEUTRON player seems to be an odd one.!!

It always want to start when the Unit Re-boots or come out of standby, overriding anything that FCC is doing.

The only way I have found to stop it, is to completely UN-install it .. which is a shame, as it is quite a well featured player.

So far, I have not found any Option settings in NEUTRON to stop it from taking over and loading (even if I KILL all apps before I re-boot)

ANYONE else experienced this with NEUTRON, or have any suggestions to stop it taking over ...

I use FM Radio and the Radio Droid application ... Sometimes everything is OK, and sometimes when the FM radio is turned on then it automatically switches to Radio Droid ... Annoying a bit, because if you don't manage to connect the usb modem to the internet it's nothing. ...
[Android Head-Units] matrixx1:
Hi I have experienced the same with Spotify and Poweramp. Disable Autostart for the music player app and enable music on boot. Like this it will start the last used player and without Autostart enabled it won't jump to the next player after it was auto started. That's how I solved the problem. As I mentioned here before for me fcc launcher doesn't start automatically itself at all so I use macrodroid to launch the launcher when I start the car. After macrodroid runs script and fcc launches it does all the auto task then. Not without macrodroid as without it it won't start only if you press home button
[Android Head-Units] bajoseph04:
I had the same issue with the Xplayer app.. I use it to play videos stored on my USB drive connected to the headunit. Everytime I turn ON the headunit, the app jumps in the foreground even when it is not the last used player and I haven't enabled "autostart other apps"... I tried uninstalling xplayer couple of times but with the same result a week back. I then thought I had uninstalled the app so it wasn't popping up but when I saw you mention a similar issue, checked whether xplayer is still there, I could see that xplayer was installed and it didn't jump in during the boot... I guess I would have changed few settings.. possibly I enabled "Clear last app before sleep" under settings -> system -> Autostart. I know this setting is meant for Rockchip units but looks like it would have fixed my issue despite mine being a mediatek unit.
[Android Head-Units] ShadoVeX:
He understands that. But I often listen to FM radio, but sometimes I turn on internet radio. But after starting, I would like to always play FM radio ...
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Yes, I also had the unwanted starting issue with POWERAMP (as well as some more minor artwork issues). I ended up uninstalling Poweramp (when its developer seemed unwilling to fix the issues), and went with BlackPlayer, what works very well with FCC, and (for the basic way I use the player), has very similar features to Poweramp.

( SD card 16 GB, loaded with a selection from my home Mp3 collection, set to random shuffle play - set it and forget it - every next track is a pleasant surprise )

[MENTION=4916555]okij[/MENTION] or anyone running Hal9k_ (or even Malaysk 9) Android 9 ROM, How are you liking the [MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION] ROM and it working with FCC? I'm strongly thinking about switching up to android Hal9k 9, from Malaysk 8 (that I liked the best for an android 8 ROM). I know you're active here and on the Hal9k android 9 thread, and it seems like its working well for you for the most part... Though I can't remember what head unit you have (mine is in my sig).

In the past, I thought I had read about some limitations with Android 9 that are still available on android 8, so I decided to stick with 8. But I'm not sure if they still exist with 9. Most importantly, it needs to work well with FCC. Any input, from anyone?
[Android Head-Units] oddvarr:
I am using Hal9K mod 4, aka Android 9 and FCC. Running it on px5 from Autopumpkin.

I have had no issues. If anything, I would say it is running smoother on 9 than on stock 8.

My experience would indicate YES, although there does seem to be a limited amount of caching going on.

ie If I do a short outward 5 mile trip with the Hoptspot on, and it is showing street names, if I then tune Hotspot off for the return trip, it does typically show the street name on the return trip. ( and Speed Limits)

Joying 8.8” with intel SC9853i and 8.1.0 Android.

Hi! I’m having an issue with the volume widget and the GPS speed based volume control.

When the volume adjusts based on speed, it’s getting reset back about 3-5 seconds. This happens when going faster or slower.

As for the widget, it’s a similar issue. I change the volume, but shortly after it gets reset.

It appears to be fighting with the master volume.

Am I missing or overlooking something to change this behavior to allow FCC’s volume to work correctly?

Thanks!

I can't compare to Android 8, since my PX5 4/64GB head unit from Witson (current MCU version: MTCE MX v3.41_1) was shipped with Android 9 and now is running on Hal9k mod 4.0.1.

But I can confirm that FCC Launcher is running well on it. Thanks to [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]'s efforts some weeks ago, FCC now can be whitelisted in the ROM's settings, so it stays in RAM during standby and doesn't have to be restarted, which is great.

dear Speedfire what you see in the picture is my home screen. Next to the multimedia controls there are two buttons which are always the music widget reduced to a single button. however, I would like it to launch the player when I press it. this does not happen.View attachment 4973821

Really? FCC can be whitelisted? I read somewhere here that it's better no to. But that was with older version. Where does it say you can whitelist itM changelog?
[Android Head-Units] okij:
It might be that the official recommendation still is to not whitelist FCC, so it's not in the changelog, but for me it's perfectly working on my PX5 MTCE device.

[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] fixed the audio playback resume and the mini map resume after standby some weeks ago, just search the thread for my posts with the according bug reports and his posts with test versions.

After all, if you don't believe me. just try for yourself if it works on your device. It won't explode if it doesn't work. ;)
[Android Head-Units] matrixx1:
You got me wrong i belive you i was just surprised. Thank you for confirmation. Minimap resumes only if that screen is default where minimap is. otherwise it wont load until you do launcher restart.

Audioplayback works for me indeed

Thank you guys for your input! I went ahead made the jump and I'm now running Hal9k Mod v4 (thanks for the correction) And donated for updates. Everything is noticeably smoother for sure. I still have a lot of tweaks to make and things to figure out. I've been running FCC with Malaysk 8 ROM for a couple years now and so far the 2 things I'm missing from it are Xposed and MTCE-Utils as I had quite a few very useful tweaks done through them. But I'm hoping I'll find a workaround.

And within FCC, I'm trying to get the music Autoplay after sleep and Calls via phone, to work properly. I use to be able to use v6 - alternative interface Bluetooth for calls via phone, but it's not working with FCC and Hal9k now. And I've tried all the other BT versions too, and no luck... But it will work with v6 - alternative if I use MTCDialer instead of FCC.

Since the Hal9k Android 9 ROM uses Magisk for root (the Malaysk ROM doesn't), you could try to install the most recent version of EdXposed, which supports Android 9. I'm successfully using it on my phone along with several Xposed modules, and the most recent versions all worked very well for me.

For this you need to install the EdXposed Magisk module, the Riru Magisk module, as well as the EdXposedManager app for installing and controlling the modules.

Many Xposed modules which worked on the original Xposed by rovo89 also work on EdXposed, in this thread you can find a list of supported modules, but there are even more modules that work which are not listed there.

Please report back if you try it and if it works.
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
Your timing for this post was perfect! I was right in the middle of downloading the Xposed module for Magisk, and decided to come check here while I was waiting for it to download, and canceled the download after reading your post. So thank you for this! I saw the EdXposed but I didn't really know what it was. Do I want the SandHook or YAHFA version of EdXposed?

The 2 main things I want from Xposed are MTCE-Utils and AdBlock, do you know if those are available? I will go read that thread shortly.
[Android Head-Units] okij:
YAHFA generally is more compatible, so you should try this first.

About the particular modules I can't tell you, you should look for them in the modules thread that I linked you or just try it.

The simplest way to block Internet ads is to use a setting available in every ROM (and generally on android):

set Private DNS in network settings to this address:

dns.adguard.com

In my case it works in every context, not only for the browser, it's free and it doesn't require root.

The only limitation might be not to browse with Chrome which apparently uses its own DNS and not the one set in device settings (Google needs ads...;))

Two request, that I made some time ago, but may have got lost... please can I bring them up again for consideration:-

(1) Please could "Background Styles" be added to "Page Widget" in particular, and maybe also to any other FCC Widget that could benefit from having "Background Styles"

(2) Please add the option for a "User Defined MASK" for the Player Artwork (one that will be recognized for both the Circular and the Square Artwork).

I love the new compass widget...

How can I edit the template (image)? I want to make it darker

Also, here are some suggestion:

The needle does not moves smoothly, it jumps from one spot to another when you change direction.

The speed limit widget on the top left, sometimes does not give you the speed limit even when connected to the internet
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
You can edit the .png graphics is almost any Photo_Shop type graphics program.

It helps to start with one of the original FCC .png files as a template.

On my head Unit, the Needle movement is VERY smooth. Unfortunatly, you might have a slow unit which may be causing the rotation to be jerky. ?

I have attached a few of the Images I have made, maybe one is what you want, or you can take them and edit them yourself to exactly what you want

So did you install EdXposed? Are MTCE-Utils and AdBlock working?
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
Thank you for this! I had seen that option before but never tried it. I will give a go. :good:

Yes, thank you very much for telling me about EdXposed! I was able to install EdXposed with no problems. I got MTCE-Utils working along with AdAway (AdBlock has depreciated in favor of AdAway)! Sorry for the delayed update, I had some issues with (I think) a different app and had to make sure it wan't because of EdXposed before I reported back. But so far, they seem to be doing what I want :good::cool:

All I had to do was install the 3 EdXposed files, reboot for each file, then install the MTCE-Utils APK and make a MTCE-Utils folder in the "0" directory and drop my backup settings.ini into that folder, reboot, and all was working! My Steering Wheel Controls (SWC), and the buttons on the head unit, are now reprogrammed and working the same way I had set them up before! Super cool!

I also tried out Malaysk's android 9 Full ROM (donated) to see if it still has MTCE-Utils and sadly it does not (does have adblock though)... as far as I could tell, it doesn't even have Xposed or at the very least, Magisk to install EdXposed, so I put Mod 4 back on.

I have put in a request with Hal9k and Malaysk to possibly have this as part of the ROM.

Malaysk was surprised that my SWC's didn't work in the WheelKey Study app, but they have never worked in that app, on any ROM. And I told him that I think the WheelKey Study is for add on type SWC's (?) and not for factory SWC's that run on "CanBus" or in my case, "I-Bus". Same thing for the "Wheel Buttons" option within FCC, it has never been able to detect my SWC's, though I haven't tried FCC's in a while. I wish I could use FCC's because it has some good options.

MTCD-Tools has always been able to read my keycodes from my SWC's, so I never really understood why it's so hard to for the WheelKey Study to work. But I'm kind of glad because it forced me to discover what you can do with MTCE-Utils and it's much more customizable as you can assign any function, activity or app to any key, or remap any key to another key. Though one thing I couldn't figure out was how to have different options for single press vs press and hold for my SWC's, like you can somewhat do in the factory settings, for the head units buttons.

My head unit is running much better now on Android 9 and for the most part, I'm glad I made the switch. There are a couple things I'll miss from Android 8, like the ability to modify system files that allowed you to have custom boot animations. Although rare to even see a boot screen, still nice to have. Also, I can't turn off the file system check for instant SD card access after wake, since you can't modify system files anymore... Perhaps it could be done through ADB or something. But they are both rather minor things and the pros outweigh the cons.
