Hi, I just started to test FCC car launcher on my Joying SOFIA unit (JY-UMS04N), using the latest beta. Overall I'm really impressed, but it seems like it's not fully compatible with my unit:

The brightness adjust widget does not do anything (no effect on brightness)

When selecting the standard player in the quick player buttons, quick select does not find the player (opens play store page with "not found"). PowerAMP works great though.

When selecting FM Radio in the quick player buttons, quick select always opens the radio app instead of just activating it - play button in the controls does the same.

After radio is activated by quick select/go back, the player widget does still show the last music player album art. This is fixed after pause/play/go back with the controls.

Previous and next controls do not work for FM radio when it has been activated by opening it from the quick player- or play buttons. In this case it can be fixed by opening the radio app regularly and going back to the launcher.

When PowerAmp is active and I switch to FM radio by opening the FM radio app, the launcher widget does not detect this (shows PowerAmp in Pause mode)

Using the control buttons, often (like 1 out of 10 key presses), the widget's configuration dialog is opened instead of executing the action. Sometimes in this case the unit also does a random reboot.

The "Set as default launcher" option did not work (only set back my unit from launcher UI2 to UI4), so I had to set it manually in the car settings.

I'll be happy to assist with anything you need to resolve these - I can live with most of them anyways, but it would be great if the the radio controls and the control widget issue could be fixed.
[Android Head-Units] olivier2591:
Yes it is the same as my post #938.

Look the video

The player radio of joying unit is very special :(
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Just to clarify.

Sofia 3G was a device very similar to common Rockchip head units. It used the same broadcasts and the same apps.

Sofia 3GR - is a completely different device with the new firmware, not compatible with most Rockchip devices, and completelynew system apps. I don't really know why the still call it a Rockchip (if they call it). This new firmware is really hard to integrate to with the launcher. I've spent more than 6 hours trying to integrate it but with little results. Maybe I will make another attempt later..
[Android Head-Units] olivier2591:
I wanted to thank you again for the work. There is still a little problem but the player works. ;)
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
I need help here. I lost my play servers . When the device start it says uid pid partition must me formatted . Or the device will be unstable.

I can not go to play store to download play servers.

Also not by browser.

Now i.m planning to download the play server but of every version there are 30 versions need some help to have the good one. I have :

Rk3066 android 4.4
[Android Head-Units] segu45:
You need the 4.4 nodpi version or the version with the same dpi that your unit have. Normally they are 240dpi.

[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
Thank you I will try..

Edit : Up and running again.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
New beta is out:

- All skins are re-designed for 6x10 grid (instead of previous 6x7 grid). You need to re-apply skin if you want to switch to a new skin.

- You can choose your favourite skin during first time setup process.

- Time widget has new options to granually change Time and Date font sizes as well as to swap Time and Date positions

- Re-written code for album arts in Player widget. Hopefully this will fix most issues.

- Some other fixes.

- For built-in skins Icons are automatically setup when put on home screen or moved (based on skins' settings for particular Icon slot).
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
One little problem for me in the player.

The title artist are not refreshing. By xiialive pro
[Android Head-Units] pa.ko:
Someone already reported but it is not fixed yet: after Bluetooth (just going into and exiting the app, but also after the call), radio is not responding to next/prev station commands (not from steering wheel buttons and not from media widget). After entering into radio app, things get back to normal.

(MTCB device)

P.S. Cannot generate log at this moment but if someone can - please do and post here to help.
[Android Head-Units] pa.ko:
Another issue related to media player widget:

Sometimes, usualy after boot, player widget is not showing changes of FM radio stations done using steering wheel buttons. If stations are changed with widget buttons, radio is changing stations and stations are updated in widget.

Looks like all widget / radio thing is messed-up. For MTCB units. Which was working nicely several months ago. Looks like support for new devices and/or changes in methods used have broken functionality.

Yes, I know it is best to privide logs. But I cannot do it right now (don't have internet connection in car). But I hope just description of these issues will help in taking notice on these problems, solving them (by reverting or reusing good code from past versions) and taking care in future with new changes.

Anyhow, this is THE BEST launcher and I don't complain. Just saying...
[Android Head-Units] mrnorx:
[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] I have an issue on the latest Beta when trying to add a widget, the list is only showing numbers instead of descriptions (see attachment). Is there a settting I can change to fix this or is it a known issue?

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
It seems that you have set a very large grid - something like 20 x 20.

Is this your case?
[Android Head-Units] mrnorx:
Yes this could be the case, I was trying something new, but I can revert back to a smaller size now. I did think maybe it was a setting I had changed.

Thank you for the quick response and advice
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
This is kind of a 'bug'. I will try to make widget view independent of grid settings. For now you can revert back to some reasonable grid parameters.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Thank you! I will try to change that back, but I am not sure this will definitely help.
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
For those who whant to create some activity/station/message shortcuts and there don't have one on there device. Here a little tip from me . Use (create shortcut) from play store.

I'm not related in any way with this app.
[Android Head-Units] mrnorx:
Do you have a link, I typed create shortcut in Play but there are lots of different apps that claim to do the same thing. Would like to know which app you have tested and found to work well.
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
Sorry it is shortcut creator .

[Android Head-Units] piercedpanda:
Just installed this yesterday, because two other Launchers were giving me a major headache.

i just tried playing around with this FCC Launcher today.

I'm still a beginner, so I have a lot of questions.

But there's one thing that's bugging me.

I use JetAudio Player, which works fine.

But the album art in the middle of the screen in the FCC Launcher is blurry.

I can't figure out where to change this.

Also, the title and artist name are on the left of the player. Can this be centered?

Or does anyone have another audio player they recommend?

I also want an audio player that will resume playback when starting the headunit.

Many thanks in advance!
[Android Head-Units] piercedpanda:
Good news: it's working!

I checked all the settings and found that in JetAudioPlus the background of the player itself had the album art, but only blurred.

I've adjusted that setting and now it's working.

Album art is shown in my player!

I've also added the control buttons and the title and artist as seperate widgets.

Added some shortcuts to apps and a clock and another clock in the second screen.

Just a little question:

Is it possible to add a wifi and bluetooth icon somewhere on the screen, so that it shows if they are connected or not?

-player widget unstable, refresh intermittently

Anyone experiencing similar problems?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Not too many crashes are reported in bug tracking system. Could you record a LogCat log of those crashes?
[Android Head-Units] zafirbel:
Hello [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

I own an allwiner device, and would be very interested in using your launcher. however I saw a few pages back that you werent supporting them at the moment, and that you needed some system apps, etc... to see if you could make that work. Is it still the case? If so I can help, I have a rooted device, just tell me what you need.

Congrats on the nice work, this launcher and its principles look very nice.
[Android Head-Units] Huge Torque:
My FCC launcher is great, only problem im having is that I park in a 5 floor garage where there's no gps signal, so what i have been doing is rebooting the device when i get out of the garage which is a fairly large nuance. Is there any easier way i can go about this? I like having the current street and MPH widget working, and this seems to be the only why I've figured out. Restarting FCC launcher doen't fix it for me
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Yes. I want to see how allwiner system files work and how difficult it will be to add support for allwiner platform. Please send me all apk-s from /system/ and /data/ folders.

It you know any third party apps / widgets / xposed modules which control fm radio / Bluetooth calls etc. please send me them as well.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Hi!

You mean FCC widgets which use GPS do not work until you restart your device? What about third party apps? Do they have GPS signal at the very same time?
[Android Head-Units] Huge Torque:
FCC widgets which seem to rely on GPS signal seem not to get the GPS on boot up because i'm usually on the 4th floor of an enclosed garage.

My 3rd party GPS apps, ie Google Maps? I'll check that but I doubt it will work cause there's no GPS in the garage.

Though one difference is, once I exit the garage, my 3rd party gps apps will see that I have GPS and start working, where as FCC launcher does not unless I reboot the entire device.
[Android Head-Units] pa.ko:
Speed Volume is broken in last beta. On every edge (20, 40,...) It just shuts volume (of radio, don't know for other players). It worked before...
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
[MENTION=3266355]pa.ko[/MENTION] volume swipe did it work for you?

I have crazy volume muting also. With our without the speed volume.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Yes, this seems to be a bug, sorry.

I've tried to fix it in the uploaded beta. Please check.
[Android Head-Units] pa.ko:
No. Now it lowers volume in some strange way.... Now it is not going down to mute but after some cycles of increase/decrease it ends in very low volume. Like increase/decrease is not working properly, you are loosing the events or so.

Don't know what you changed, but try switching back to old code - it worked fine ;)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
OK, I will switch back to the previous code (at least for some time).
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
What do you think of this?

I delete it with in 1 hours because off copyright.

PS don't look at my coding it's terrible.
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
I edit it myself . It's a idea for the launcher.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Do you mean street's name?

Ok, I've added a new widget with streets' names in the last beta :)

It gathers data from OpenStreetMaps. Please try if it works.

P.S. Btw, is everything OK with the volume control?
[Android Head-Units] -=Jeff=-:
how do I get this to look like oyu example in your first post? I cannot seem to figure all of it out, sorry for being a noob just trying to figure it out before purchasing..

I assume you have one widget for all player to display ( depending which one is active) Do i need to purchase it to gain access to most of the features?
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
Looking good . Volume control work's ok now . :good: I like that

Widget test:

Widget works accurate.

Maby better in one line like 1x4 and a little settings menu to set what Info to show. Like country house number. Postal number. Enz

You forget the image in widget :)

You do a great job. Mate
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
You don't need to purchase the app to make it look like on my screenshot. I know it's a bit hard to setup it for a new user. I'm currently thinking of making some interactive tutorials on first start.

Here is a quick look on setup process. Hope it helps:
[Android Head-Units] -=Jeff=-:
Awesome that does help.. Dumb question, the radio RDS data and station, will is show in the player data display or just the radio widget?

I did upgrade and purchase as well. I knew it was a user error figuring it out
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
RDS is not currently supported by widgets. However, since you've purchased the full version, you can assign custom names to radio stations and set logos. It requires some work from you, but pays off with good looking widget :)
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
Off topic question? Is there a Internet player widget/shortcut where you can put your own Internet streams and logo in a selectbox/pulldown menu? On the home screen
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
In today's beta:

- Fixes to music autostart (waits for internet connection if needed)

- Street name widget can be made single line
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
All changes works correctly. :good:
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
In today's beta:

1) "hide statusbar" option now allows to use this space for useful content

2) added option 'brightness toggle (off <-> auto)'. It can be assigned to app launch on click or to wheelbutton.

3) Rockchips: experimental option to hide FCC Launcher's title from status bar (disabled by default and I don't know if it works)

4) Rockchips: experimental option to hide all other apps titles from status bar (the same)
[Android Head-Units] NelsonGTI:
Excellent work SpeedFire, this is just what my MTCD PX5 head unit was missing! Upgraded to full after 5 mins of playing around.

I’m a big beta guy as well, but unfortunately after the first system cold start, the launcher wouldn’t start and I’d repeatedly get a ... has stopped working message. Is there any info I can send you beyond the generic ‘send report’ to help solve this?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Did this happen after today's update?

I think I see your error reports. Launcher cannot set icon for notification for some reason (that is unusual). Anyway, I've tried to fix it and I've sent an update to the market. Please check it and respond if this error still exists. Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] NelsonGTI:
Yes, it was today (or yesterday now). I will give it a shot. Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] Petesky:
I like the look of this , can you have AlbumArt and Speedo on same screen with or without the time
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
Good news for you. You can!

You can set what you see and more on any place on the screen. Just play.
[Android Head-Units] piercedpanda:
Yes, you can just add a speedo widget to the screen.

I use Forest live wallpaper.

здравствуйте. устройство аflyaudio g8 . примерно месяц назад, после очередных изменений, перестал перехватывать кнопку на руле. лаунчер несколько раз переустанавливал, перезагружал. переустанавливал плагины. не помогает. до этого все работало исправно. сам лаунчер работает исправно, кроме этой функции. подскажите, что может быть. как исправить.
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
Please in English.
[Android Head-Units] Nikitsergey:
Hello. device aflyaudio g8. about a month ago, after the next changes, stopped intercepting the button on the steering wheel. launcher several times reinstalled, rebooted. reinstalled the plugins. Does not help. before that everything worked properly. the launcher itself works correctly, except for this function. tell me what can be. how to fix.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Make sure that you have installed FCC Plugin (it is required for FlyAudio devices to intercept Speech button). And don't forget to assign Speech function to a selected button in native FlyAudio key mapping interface.
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
[MENTION=1633144]speedfire[/MENTION] I will try and of the day to make a log file of the issue above.
[Android Head-Units] Nikitsergey:
The starter is installed, the function on the button, set different. Does not react. Previously, everything worked. This button has set the standard functions of the "radio", the button works. And the launcher does not react
[Android Head-Units] Huge Torque:
Yea the FCC MPH widget displays -- and the current street name displays the last street i was on when I entered the garage. Is there a way to nudge these widgets once I'm out of the garage without having to reboot the head unit?
[Android Head-Units] pa.ko:
Looks like I'm not the only one ;)

I already reported exactly same issues on MTCB unit. So it may help you knowing that exactly same issues are on FlyAudio and MTCB.

Could you add support for KitKat based headunits :(
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
KitKat is supported!
[Android Head-Units] Sim08u:
Hey mate, you still up for helping allwinner devices? Me and my brother in law plan on selling a lot of these android head units however having the "OK Google, CALL xxxx" function is really important to us and currently I can't get this working no matter what I try. Should it be able to work now without a root? Or do you need to do some development? In any case I now have root access on my allwinner device and I will get you whatever you need to get started. You just tell me what you need and we will go from there :)

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Hi. I can't guarantee anything, but I just wanted to look inside the Allwinner platform to figure out how difficult it is to integrate it. Yesterday I received some apk-s for Allwinner but they are somewhat difficult to investigeta (my favourite tool does not parse them very well). It would be nice if you send me your apk-s as well (most of them are in /system/priv-apps/).

[MENTION=1633144]speedfire[/MENTION]

The last beta is there a fix for refreshing title and artist?

This is what happens

When device start it shows the titel and artist.

When next song come it not refresh.

When switching to an app and go back it show the artist and title.

When the next song come again it's not refreshing.

It's on a mtcb
[Android Head-Units] pa.ko:
No, bugs with widget and both music player and FM radio are still there. (MTCB unit)

Also, all widget text is suddenly too small

---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

@SpeedFire-

Please enable adding trip altitude to new combined trip widget
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I will try to find this bug. Seems to be related to Android 4.4 mostly.

This was a one-time change. We moved to the unified text scale (scale numbers in different widgets will now lead to the same results - previousely this was not the case.

Added. Will be available in the next beta
[Android Head-Units] pa.ko:
Ok, it is really good to have unified Text scaling.

Then, please, add primary and secondary text sizes in global settings.
[Android Head-Units] Sim08u:
Hi, thats fine.

I will email you the details/apps. I also have a few questions about why Google voice works on some devices and not on others that I will address in my email. Give me 24 hours to get them to you.

[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Thank you for logs.

These are mostly OutOfMemory errors while processing album arts.

I've uploaded a new beta, let's see how it works.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Please also try to make different actions on AllWinner (like launching FM Radio, switching between stations) and writing LogCat at the same time. I want to see if anything is catched by FCC Launcher.

So, today I've updated to the latest version.

My album art has stopped working again...

Since it was working last time, and I have made no changes in my audio player, I think it's the Launcher.

Can you tell me what happened?

And is anybody else having the same problem?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Yes, we have some issues with Album Arts. Especially with PowerAmp and Android 4.4 combination (slow changes of album art). Sorry for that!

I am trying to fix this, however some investigation is still required.

I will upload current version now (the bug is not fixed, but album arts should be visible).
[Android Head-Units] piercedpanda:
I am using JetAudioPlus on Android 7.1.2, for your information.

Thanks!

Do I have to get it from the Playstore or download an apk file and install that?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
You will get an update via Play Store in an hour.
[Android Head-Units] piercedpanda:
Great!

I'll check it out later and let you know if it's working again.

And thank you for such a fast reply!
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Btw, here is a question for Rockchip users:

Do you want Brightness widget to be able to completely switch off your device's screen?

We have fixed this for FlyAudio devices (Screen Off option completely disables the screen) but for Rockchip devices Screen Off currently means just "the lowest brightness".
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
My opinion.

In settings there are enough settings to set you screen. I prefer your option.
[Android Head-Units] piercedpanda:
I have a button on my unit that can do that.

One click dims the screen, two clicks turns the screen off completely
[Android Head-Units] pa.ko:
(MTCB KitKat):

1. FM Radio controls seems to be working better but not fully. After BT (phone call) when FM radio is restarted from widget, controls are not working. After starting radio app (not from widget but from all apps) - controls resume to work.

2. PC Radio is not working with widget (when PC Radio is started, it is showing as stock music player in widget)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Maybe this will be fixed in the next beta
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
[MENTION=1633144]speedfire[/MENTION] do you need a log for title and artist not showing for android 4.4.4 mtcb i.m free tomorrow and can make log.

Hi,

I cant seem to get the speed limit in the map widget to display MPH, even though i've checked the box in the speed limit settings to display as MPH .

the issue only seems to affect the speed limit info, not the current speed, which display MPH correctly

am i missing anything obvious?

( using paid version on latest beta, but have tried full re-installation of non beta and still get the same issue?)
