A few posts back there is an explanation that Google has temporarily suspended the app. The author has filed an appeal to see why they have done it. Hopefully it won't take long.

---------- Post added at 10:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 PM ----------

Is there anything I can do, or is it just one of those things I'll have to live with?

I assume it's not just me, but will affect all PX5 Oreo units?

Ref: Steering Wheel Buttons not being/ recognized / intercepted by FCC.

Same for my Eonon GA2170B P5X unit - Android 8.0

Upsetting -- I really want to press a non-oem steering wheel button to wake up Google Voice, rather than trying to tap on a small Microphone symbol on the Head Unit's screen.

Hopefully a solution can be found...

So sorry to hear about that. Hope they review it and get it back up!

meanwhile possible to post here the latest beta so we can continue to test the app?

thank you for the great work!

This was the latest version (on both beta and release channels):

[Android Head-Units] Bugscze:
Hello [MENTION=1633144]speedfire[/MENTION]. I have suggestion/bug report. When I use widget from Torque (

Widgets for Torque - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.prowl.torquewidget ), widgets cannot be moved or deleted. When you press on widget, FCC just show add new app/widget screen. Can you please take a look at this issue?

How to reproduce issue:

1) Add widget from Torque at any screen

2) Try to move widget

There isn't any problem with those widgets at any other launcher. Just FCC.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Ref: 3 Definable Screen Buttons on Right side of screen.

( ie Default top one is Google Voice)

When trying to edit these 3 buttons, only the default Buttons show an Icon.

This means that when you select a non-default function for any of these buttons, no Icon shows up on screen, so you have no idea there is a button there, or what its function is.

(even after restarting FCC or re-booting Unit)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Ok.

Here is the response from Google.

Now I need to figure out how to replace them with my internal shortcuts....
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
Can you dont Just delete Them? All the icon dont work on my device?
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
So, they object to your APP enabling the user of your app downloading & Installing apps, without informing the user that if the select those icons, it will install the selected APP.

So, if your app checked to see if the APP was already installed, and if so, I assume it could run it without "getting additional consent" --- or if it was NOT installed, it could present a CONFIRM Screen you want to download and install the app, and require an acknowledgement from the user, before it goes to get it.

Hell, make it force the user to type YES ... that way there can be no issue that they hit an OK button my mistake. ( One would only have to do it ONCE for each app if one wanted the app installed)

This way, if the app is not installed, you have told the user that they need to confirm that they want it installed, and if it is already installed, it just runs it.

Or am I just missing understanding the Stupidity of Google's "RULES".

A FAR BETTER RULE would be to force apps which trigger POP-UPP ads to download and install things a user did not ask for, to announce which app is causing the POP UP ad... I have Adds randomly pop up on my system, and there is no obvious way to tell what app is triggering them - (and give me the info I need to decide if I want to dump the Offending over-pushy advertising app)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
It seems I have fixed the issue Google is warning about.

All those FCC's extra shortcuts won't be added to other 3rd party launchers and will only be visible in my launcher. I think this is what they want.

This fix works on Emulator and on my test device but I don't know how it will work on other devices (with no issues hopefully).

The most brave of you can download and try it: 2.063-alpha

How to check:

- Check that all shortcuts like FCC Settings, Apps, Restart etc. work as before.

- Go to your standard launcher (the easiest way FCC Settings - Autostart - Set as default launcher - select once your standard launcher) and check that no other FCC specific shortcuts are visible in it (only FCC Launcher itself).
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
I think you need to ask the user if he wants to install these apps.

How useful it would be to install FCC without extra toolage is nothing Google cares about.

If the user negates the Installation of the tools you just cancel the setup. The user needs to accept the additional tools.

I don´t know if the user needs to accept each single tool, or may be it would be sufficient to write all tools on a one pager which needs to be acceptet by the user.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
The app is now returned to the Play Store :)
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
Welkom back on Playstore.

Found a bug .

When a shortcut that is not from fcc and you drag It to the settings icon fcc response with .

Fcc is stop working.

And restart

Nice Will be that you can change the icon and texst from that shortcut.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Played with this a bit more. Seems you can add your own Icon, (if you have one), but when a selection is make for the button area, it does not by default get and use the default for that app/widget .. (whereas, Resetting any of the 3 to Default, does both resets the Button action and gets the appropriate default Icon).

BTW: Are Icons used is FCC available to select, or are they all hidden in the apps resources. ? If available, where are they placed ?

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 PM ----------

Still trying to figure out what I Cannot get a addon Steering wheel button to trigger Google Voice, rather than having to say "hello Google" each time.

Search the Internet, it seems I am not the only one struggling with this.

The only people I see able to do this seem to have it already installed to do so as a factory standard option.

Note: FCC does not recognize the buttons when trying to set an Intercept, but the buttons work fine to control android apps.. ie Volume Up, Mode, Mute, run Default Player, run Nav etc.

But there is not option in the HU's supplied Switch allocation program, to select Google Voice.

Not understanding how any of this works, is making it very hard to find a solution.

Once again - I am hoping that FCC can find a way to add this functionality...\

------------------------

(Note: My HU is NOT rooted -- the last HU (Honda) I did root, crashed, would not start, and coat me over $1000 to get replaced !!! (at least my wife is speaking to me again now) -- I now realize that it was a waste of time to try to Hack a Honda HU.. they can barely struggle to do what they do Un-rooted -- adding anything else, will causes them to stutter & lock up !!)

Hi.

Is it possible to have sygic added as the nav app launched when long pressing the minimap?

Thanks.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I've focused on app optimization in recent days.

This is an Alpha version (available only via direct download): 3.069 release

Update: based on internal tests this version seems to be working fine so it is sent to a Release channel (available also for beta testers). You can update via Play Store.
[Android Head-Units] jun81:
Maybe more options for long press.

Can you help me?

Many thanks
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Thanks -- good to hear ... I was finding that the more recent Betas were making it take increasingly longer to finally display the main menu, after a boot.

Really do appreciate all the time and effort you put into FCC -- its a massive App and I suspect you have literally 1000's of hours invested in it so far ( Not 100's)

When users download App, and then have concerns about spending under $10 for that App, I am sure they do not appreciate just how much work the developer has put into creating the App, and how much they are getting for under $10 !!

Truly a labor of love, and we are so lucky that there are such dedicated developers like you . :)

Google search suggests this video. Please try:

P.S. This is definitely not the Launcher's issue but something related to Play Store / Google Services
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
Ok I think i know what you're saying. The player widget you designed does not start or stop FM radio. It also does not display the preset buttons. It WILL switch between each preset however. I will include a picture of the stock ROM widget which does show the station and the preset buttons but like yours it will not start/stop the FM radio. So I then need to go into the FM radio app and back out of it to turn off radio. I have included a pic of the joying rom radio widget (It also does not start/stop FM radio)

Another quick question. I have an app set to autostart on boot which it does. However it appears that when the unit goes into standby mode that it kills apps. Is there any way to define or call up apps that it kills on this short term standby? The unit is a joying JY-UL135 running 4.4.4.
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
First of all . This is not my app. Design and development is from speedfire. ,:silly: I wish that I can create that.

Now I see what you mean. Depending about Radio.

I have not seen the option for preset in widget for radio channels maby it will come I future.

About Radio don't close when you open a other music player. it seems a bug maby [MENTION=1633144]speedfire[/MENTION] can tell us more about it?

I hope so it's a issue that I have for 3 years now I.ts sometimes very irritating me. I know when the radio is not closed proper that the music players volume is very very low.

[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
Hopefully the dev can answer my other questions as well when he/she has time.

[MENTION=2944194]TT_Vert[/MENTION]

There is a download from different radio widgets some where in the MTC forum section. Maybe you can use that one for now?

Maybe not the solution but it can help for now?

Danny
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
I'll certainly try them. I'll search but if you find what you saw please link it up. I think this is more an issue w/ the way these widgets communicate and I don't think it's directly to the MCU.

Dave
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
Search at user goose. He has modified one. Along time ago.
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
Referring to this? It's funny as that is what I was using. I just had an older version it seems. This one works on occasion. Still a bit buggy, won't power on/off sometimes.

Updated- so I remove the radio.apk and reinstalled the malay included radio.apk that was in the OEM folder then re added the Goose modified widget and it is working as designed.

So hilariously I;ve reduced the height of the map overlay to the point where I cannot see, and therefor cannot touch the settings icon to change it back to correct height. Pressing the earth icon just removes it and puts it back to the same size. Any input ?

Dave
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
And when you change to pcradio or MP3 now ? Is radio stop playing? Or the issue as always?

Danny
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
I'll try it but I doubt it as the radio apk is probably very similar to the one I used before.

--update-- Nope, does not stop the FM radio when jet audio opens and plays.

[Android Head-Units] juice91:
Hey guys i recently just downloaded fcc.

Now im no good with these apps as im only new to android all together and recently purchased a joying headunit running 6.0.1

Now first when i started up it told me to select phone/tablet and these other things which i just selected tablet.

When i get into the app half of the apps dont run and i cant get radio to work. I guess im having to just play around or has it got something to do with what i selected on startup?

Ive noticed there are widgets for radio but not for DAB which would be nice as i only use dab in australia.

Overall app seems nice. I like how there is so many features available. But first i would like the issues i mentioned im having to be fixed and i will be much more happier.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Hi, guys!

Sorry for being silent for some time. I'm currently on vacation and probably will have less time to answer questions / improve app (partially because of not a very good internet access here). Anyway thank you for all your posts! I will take care of all of your suggestions as soon as I can.
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
Have a nice vacation see you soon!!
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
Looks like I spoke too soon. Getting the volume knob issue again :(

Another thing I notice, which may be as designed is auto brightness will not go below 10. I have night set to 0 and it is 2 hours past sunset yet the software still defines brightness at 10. I have confirmed sunset at 7:19 PM today and GPS location appears correct on my head unit also. Just unsure why it does not go to the predefined 0 of night.

D/FCC_Service( 939): Rockchip autobrightness is enabled. savedAutobrightness = 10
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Hi, Dave!

This is fixed in the latest beta (hopefully). Please check.

There was also a request from someone for Safe volume on autostart. Do you want a specific volume level to be set on start or just want to restore the last volume level?
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
That's your call but I think a safe default volume on startup is always good. For instance, you are driving w/ windows open and top down and come home at 2pm w/ radio blaring. You then start the car at 10 PM in garage and it's still blaring. Es no bueno!

I'll check latest beta. Any idea on my other suggestions/questions re: radio widget?

Also a few other questions/suggestions I posted before but I'll just condense for ease of reading:

1. I have an app set to autostart on boot which it does. However it appears that when the unit goes into standby mode that it kills apps. Is there any way to define or call up apps that it kills on this short term standby? The unit is a joying JY-UL135 running 4.4.4.

2. Maybe a user selectable media next/back gesture using intent of KEYCODE_MEDIA_NEXT, etc? This would work for most any media player then.

3. Is there any way to have be able to select to have screens scroll Left to Right rather that up/down? Reason I ask is that I have a scrolling calendar widget (Digical) in which I scroll down and it is wreaking havoc obviously.

4. Another thing I notice, which may be as designed is auto brightness will not go below 10. I have night set to 0 and it is 2 hours past sunset yet the software still defines brightness at 10. I have confirmed sunset at 7:19 PM today and GPS location appears correct on my head unit also. Just unsure why it does not go to the predefined 0 of night.

Nice work BTW.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Have you tried "Player Info" widget? (better for me to rename it to Player+Radio widget).

This is a universal widget which can control all suppoted third party players as well as FM Radio,

If you can't control FM Radio with it please check that you've selected the correct device type (e.g. MTCB). This can be checked in Other settings. If it still doesn't work please send me a LogCat log of switching on/off your fm radio and changing stations with next/previous buttons.
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
I will try it. I did try the radio widgets , i'll paste my experience. I do have an MTCB and it is set as such in your launcher. I really would like it to display the station frequency at a minimum so I know what station I'm on.

Dave
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
Sounds interesting, I ll have to check it out . . .

Oh this is built into FCC ? I was thinking it was an app in its own right.
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
Ok that new update fixed the map resizing issue. That widget does not work much at all. It will not start/stop the FM radio. It will switch channels. I have logged the event of pushing play which did nothing and then opening the radio via the radio apk and then trying to pause/stop the radio.

Pressing play/pause initially (I'm not sure what all is where here)

While pressing play/pause while radio started w/ radio apk

Back to the brightness I still have it set to 0 at night and I'm seeing this:

D/FCC_Service( 5761): Rockchip autobrightness is enabled. savedAutobrightness = -1

D/FCC_Utils_MTC( 5761): УСТАНАВЛИВАЕМ ЯРКОСТЬ newAutoBrightness = 10

These may be due to me manually playing w/ brightness?

D/FCC_Utils_MTC( 5761): УСТАНАВЛИВАЕМ ЯРКОСТЬ newAutoBrightness255 = 25

D/FCC_Utils_MTC( 5761): setMtcBrightness = 25

I am seeing a new Bug (to me) in latest ALpha.

In composing a screen, when an APP is dragged to the screen and released, it does not show. It takes about 30 seconds, and then it pops up.

Thanks .. got 3.068 and that is working.

When you get a chance, can you look at the Icon issue with the 3 Quick launch items in the left menu. Non default apps do not pick up their App Icons.

Also, does FCC support Sirius XM. I have the streaming app running and select-able by FCC, but it does not show the Sirius Logo, or the current Sirius Channel graphic in he Center window on the FCC skin. It reverts back to the last PowerAmp music graphic, even if PowerAmp is not running/loaded.

Hi..

I'm new to FCC Car Launcher...

First of all, i like the amount of customizability! I can spend hours tweaking the layout :D I Like!

It might be a novice question, but where do I find/download icon packs? And can you recommend any?

/Tjaller
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
You can download Icon Packs from Play Store or any other site. FCC Launcher supports all (or at least most) standards of icon packs.

Hi there. I bought the FCC app and Poweramp. I cannot find out how to get the player to be round - in the "round spot" of the app, as shown at the Android Playapp-page. (like the one with Taylor Swift).

Don't know what you did, but the widgets aint freezing anymore!! Amazing work man!
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Wow! That is good to hear! :)

How is overall performance? Better than before?
[Android Head-Units] Xorit:
For me the performance was never bad - reaction times are super quick.

Though I noticed that specially the temp widget doesn't change the size anymore after wake up.

Before it was so that when the device came up, for like 10-15secs the formatting of said widget was kinda off, but this seems to be fixed.

Will monitor the behaviour over the days, but if nothing changes, you got the launcher "non-kill" & "sleep" stable. Cheers!

Is it possible to have navigation on the "MAP"? i like that i can have the map open all the time, but when i need navigation i need to switch to google maps and i cant have the route on my home screen (Only the small google maps overlay thingy)

I am trying FCC since yesterday and it has potential but AGAMA interface was far better - would it be possible to achieve the same level in FCC?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
It depends what particular do you mean by this :)
[Android Head-Units] oscyp:
Hmm lets say - agama style skin and functionality:

- to create shortcut to any app with custom icon and custom text on home screen

- to have these shortcuts perfectly fitted with the skin graphics

- to have ability to add some important status icons to the skin (3g status / wifi / BT / GPS)

- to have ability to change the center part not only to music cover but also speed / time / compass / car logo etc. as well

- to have ability to add more shortcuts "under" the ones on the home screen (in agama we can add 4 more under every on the top)

- to have some nice and intuitive interface like: shortpress of settings button = launcher settings / longpress = android settings etc.

just have a look on their screens - it looks and works really nice and tight but some basic functions are missing (autodimming, autovolume by speed, info toasts etc) - so that I am trying your FCC

In FCC for example - I see it is very customizable but:

- some widgets are too small, some too big and when I try to resize them - they start to look ugly (cut in half or not fitting the skin graphic)

- I am missing some status icons (gps, 3G, weather)

- center of the screen is used only for music covers

etc etc

To sum up: I am looking something perfect for PX5 unit and every launcher I try is... almost perfect but unfortunately missing functions cannot be combined from each of them. Also AGAMA support seems not to exist and on the other hand you are very responsive so... why not to make a perfect launcher with common efforts?

I hope you got my point.
[Android Head-Units] oscyp:
For now - I wouldn't pay for something not really corresponding to my needs... but if all work good - why not :)
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
The pro version is far far beter . And the beta even furter. You dont regred buying when you have this one you dont even need root/ and exposde programma's. You can make the launcher and settings to your need. Even without a template. You evne create your own.

The money the dev ask is for the Google API key license. Most launchers even use the API key.

But that's always your desision.
