I hope you are saying that if the Head Unit is running Android Less than 9 , that the access to Google drive will still continue to work in FCC.

ie

(1) If I am running Android 8 on my head unit, I will continue to be able to use Google Drive for my FCC settings backups.

(2) Fcc will only do the above FCC backup location Migration, if it detect that it is being run in Android 9 and above .

No. These changes are applicable to all versions. Google Drive should also continue to work on all devices

Thanks :)

So I tried it on by Android 8 unit.

(1) It seems to take about *3-4 times longer to copy files to the backup FCC directory

(2) backup and restore to/from Google Drive functions, and when restoring, it only shows the backups (with images), with the latest at the top (GOOD - as before)

(3) Restore from SD card shows a whole multitude of files (not just the imaged backup files), and they are in reveres order (oldest at the top), which means you have to scroll all the down to get to the latest backup (unlike the listing on Google drive, that is latest at the top = better)

Long time since I saved to SD card, so I cannot remember what order it use to be in, but I would suggest it is far better in the same order as it is on the Google drive (newest at the top), and the non-backup files filtered out of the selection list

In both case though, the initial part of the backup takes so much longer that it use to do, that I thought it had stopped-- tried 3 times, and then decided to make a video, so show it freezing. It was not till I was making the video, and it had appeared to freeze, and I was explaining what was wrong (took some time), that it finally started copying the backup to the FCC Backup folder.

No a major problem that it now takes so much longer (now one knows), but begs the question why in this version, it is taking so much longer to do, what it did so much faster in previous version, even when only going to save to the SD-Card (ie Nothing to do with Google Drive)

Maybe SOMEONE ELSE can comment if they see a significant slowing down of the backup process (or not)

2 blocker issues popped up!

1. Backup from Google and SD

Preconditions:

CSN2 unit

Android API28*

Fcc 3.420v2 installed

Action:

Backup to SD card successfully noted

Backup to Google successful noted.

Restored from Google and same behavior from SD

Observed behavior:

After restoring from Google and from SD, Fcc is not able to restore my screens.

I always get a message: Oops something went wrong. Let´s try it again.

I tried it a couple of times now and always the same issue. See attached screenshot.

Expected behavior:

To be restored to the previous stored restore, independent from the stored location.

Attachments:

Screenshot

Logfile

Backup

__________________________________________________________

2. Resetup:

Action:

Followed the "setup process"

Observed behavior:

Fcc went through the regular process to create a page

Fcc asks for permission for notification listener.

Notification listener is activated

Went back and this question for the notification listener comes as long as you don´t deactivate the setting and activate it again.

Then the same procedure runs again with choosing color, favorite player, Skin, Enable Album art...

...and once again the Notification listener permission.

Sorry, but this version is really not usable at least for me.

Reinstalled 3.400 v3 and restored completely correct!

Let´s cross our fingers that attachments in here are working now...

Pictures still failing... :rolleyes:

This issue with the attachments is driving me crazy...

Trying to fully understand the FCC folder changes in this last update

Prior to this update, we had

sd-card/FCC_Launcher

sd-card/FCC_Launcher/GoogleMapStyles

sd-card/FCC_Launcher_Backup

sd-card/FCC_Launcher_Backup_Temp

Now I understand we have

sd-card/Download/FCC_Launcher/Backups

sd-card/Downloads/FCC_Launcher/GoogleMapStyles

sd-card/Download/FCC_Launcher/Backups_Temp (which gets deleted after a backup ? Files ? or both Files & Folder should get deleted automatically ??

any

sd-card//FCC_Launcher* folders are no longer used

Looks like some migration took place, but my MiniMap json file never got migrated over automatically, so I had to do that manually.

So, can we remove all the old sd-card/FccLauncher folders going forward, unless we want to run previous versions, in which case, previous version will use the old folder structure, so maybe it should not be deleted (yet)!

BTW: While In have tried backups with this latest version, and looked to see where files are placed, I have not yet dared try a Restore, past looking at the restore files available to select.

I was having this issue a few days ago when I included attachments in my post. Could not see them.

The next day, when I posted attachments, those newly posted attachments that were posted that next day, worked.

The older ones that were not viewable the previous day, still could not be viewed.

Confirmed-- restore working in V3

Thanks for adding the Notification about Migration, (and Migration failed)

It was the migration that was taking the time when backing up, and the migration was failing each time (even in V3)

I had masses of SD backups, which I didn't need, so I deleted them all, and then the migration did not fail, and never appeared again. (Good)

Both backup & restore to both SD & Google drive working well.

Only issue I have is with the SD restore.

It is still sorted by date, with earliest at the TOP. (BAD)

Google Drive restore is sorted with Latest at TOP (Good)

Also, SD Restore has an extra file.." Latest_Google_map backup" OK Cool -- but would be nice if it at least had date & time in it's filename.

Also, would be even better if SD restore file list was sorted latest at the Top (same as Google list) ;)

and of course, that odd "latest_Google_Drive_Backup" was placed in the list by date as well.

Was a little, alarmed to see that "latest Google backup file" appear in the SD list, but after some though, its a nice feature, as long as it appears in it's right order !!! (date/time sorted)

Now, what is the NEXT "testicle" Google is is going throw at FCC ??? !!!! (

( Obsticle) Got to love Spell checkers - I'm sticking with the Firefox recommendation !!

Unfortunately last update was rejected by Google since it thinks that my app is similar to this one:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gps.navigation

This is first time I have heard of this app, but icons are similar indeed (however my icon is used since early 2016 and I created it by myself).

I tried to change color but Google still rejects it. So I will probably have to redraw the icon from scratch :(

Hello,

Someone has experience with loading time can suggest me a solution ?

Thanks.
[Android Head-Units] okij:
No, two minutes loading time is unusual and most likely not FCCs fault. On my PX5 it takes maybe 30 seconds.

You should check if there are other apps (or maybe 3rd party widgets) responsible.

If there's a custom ROM (Hal9k or Malaysk) for your device, you can put FCC on the whitelist for apps to be not closed during standby, FCC is then up and running instantly.
[Android Head-Units] herobkse:
I don't have a custom ROM. Is there other way to put FCC in whitelist with a 3rd application (as Tasker or something esle) ?

Dear [MENTION=4916555]okij[/MENTION] can I ask you for tipps as how to set-up fcc mode APK for a steering wheel button? I have Hal9k and fcc launcher. Where do I configure the app to be assigned to a button on steering wheel? In wheel study app? Or under Hal9k mode settings? Or fcc steering wheel settings?

Thank you
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Not to my knowledge, since the behaviour of the stock ROM to close all 3rd party apps when entering standby is buried deep inside the system and has to be modded for this.

You should try if deleting some of the widgets or uninstalling other auto-starting apps improves FCC startup time. Make a FCC backup before, in case you want to restore your setup later.
[Android Head-Units] herobkse:
When you said your PX5 has ~30s for FCC loading, do you have minimap shown on ? I notice in my case that minimap is very slow loading (I'm using Yandex minimap).

Hal9k Mod Settings -> App Manager -> Apps which are changed with MODE button (could be named slightly different, I translated from German menus).

Yes, I use minimap with Google as maps provider.

[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
My Unit takes a long time to load Fcc (or more precisely, till the screen becomes responsive, and music starts to play)

Sometimes, up to 45-90 seconds

I am working on finding out why.

I do have about 7 screens of Fcc widgets, some pages with up to 25+ widgets. Most are only Buttons to launch apps.

(2 years of owning Fcc and "adding" to it has made the setup GROW !!!)

One app I did find that was defiantly causing a delay was a 3rd party weather widget, that was almost a full screen, and provide current weather in details.

I was able to monitor this screen as Fcc was loading, and one could see the delay being caused by the APP having to connect to the Internet, to get weather data, which seemed to delay Fcc from fully loading the rest of the remaining widgets.

So currently, I am on "PURGE" of any Widget/app that needs to connect to the Internet, to see if that significantly reduces my startup time.

or .. I just live with the delay -- some things (like Fcc running) are worth waiting for. ;)

Given the choice of an extended Automatic load time, or a load where I HAVE to interact with the unit,to get it up and running, I will take the fully automatic, slower start every time.
[Android Head-Units] herobkse:
It seems to be the same problem as mine. But I have only one page and 5 widgets (3 FCC & 2 KWGT widgets).

I remark that FCC loads each widget (one after another) and loading is done not only for content of widget (as weather in your case) but also for resize/styling (for example I resized the wifi widget to match my screen).
[Android Head-Units] davemazo:
I only have 2 pages running on my installation. One is one of the main skins with icons added to run apps when needed the other page has icons of my favourite contacts which I use to dial out seeing as voice dialing doesn't work. Is it possible to change the amount of rows and columns for my contacts page without changing my home screen. I've tried but it just messes up my home screen.
[Android Head-Units] tonimontoia:
the fcc restart and restart button disappeared again
[Android Head-Units] okij:
This depends on how well the player reacts to the commands that FCC sends. For some players FCC needs some tricks to make it act like being controlled in background, e.g. when starting the player the app is launched normally and then FCC quickly switches to the homescreen again (so you see the player for a fraction of a second).

The results that I get with my favourite players are as follows:

DAB-Z can be fully controlled (and switched to again) in background when it is already running in background. Only on the first start (i.e. when switching to it from a different player) it is shown for a fraction of a second and then the homescreen is shown.

NavRadio+ cannot be controlled so well yet ( [MENTION=2734955]KoTiX2[/MENTION] said he will work on this), so currently the NavRadio+ screen is always shown shortly and then FCC switches to the homescreen.

GoneMad Music Player is working as well as DAB-Z and reacts like I described for DAB-Z.

Issue with widgeta

Hi, i have a problem with last update 3.420, widgets for torque doesnt work for me, can you solve this?
[Android Head-Units] Th0m4s88:
Tried your suggestion. Unfortunately this will interfere with the autostart procedure for players sometimes. Also the a2dp app will be controlable by the steering wheel keys after the headunit finished booting up but as soon as I change between the other different players and back to a2dp only a single time it will again stop reacting to the steering wheel keys.

I guess the only possible solution would be to change the way the fcc player widget starts a2dp. It would have to be started in the foreground and brought to the background immediately after that.

I don't know how much work that would be but it would definitely fix the steering wheel key problem.

This is an important update for backup/restore function - FCC 3.430:

- I think now backup / restore is fully compatible with Android 10 and 11. If the app does not show you the list of backups (even if they were put into the right folder) now you can manually select any backup file on SD card (in any folder) to start a restore process. There were lots of new restrictions introduced by Google and manual selection is the best way to overcome them (this is also a preferred way as per Google).

- I noticed that old backups became incompatible with the app at some point of time. Now old backups will also work.
[Android Head-Units] okij:
I didn't install this version yet, but today's version 3.425 from Play Store.

What I noticed is that there was no preview picture (FCC screenshot) generated along with the backup, as it used to be in previous versions. Please have a look in case this hasn't already been fixed in version 3.430. Thanks. :)

[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Can you please give a link to this app?

I want to reproduce this.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Its the "Weather and Clock WIdget"

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devexpert.weather&hl=en

I cannot be 100% sure that this is causing FCC to load slowly, but when I last checked FCC loading, most of the pages had finished loading their correct widgets and updating to those widget setting, up to the screen that had this Weather Widget on it (almost full screen), and it was waiting to get info from the internet.

Pages after this one were only partially loaded, and did not load until this Weather widget finished getting the weather data, and was displaying it.

Another symptom of FCC loading widgets, is that I recently updated the Google Voice widget on the Home screen, and with a different (not default) Icon

When FCC load, the Google Voice Icon initially display with it's default Icon, and it is not till almost all other screens have finished loading, that this Google Voice Icon changes to the one I selected.

It almost acts as the "Fcc is loading " / "Fcc has finished loading" Notification that I suggested some time ago

;)

It actually acts as a good indication that FCC has finished loading, but does lead to the assumption that when FCC widgets load, they load and update in the order they were created, and if one was created early in the FCC setup, and then much later it's parameters changed, then the loading and the later changing remain in the order they were created, with no optimization.

ie Widgets may be loading/updating the same parameter many times, as FCC loads, rather than just the latest value for that parameter.

I see this with some Widget Text size as well, as their text size changes as FCC is loading

Would there be any benefit in a SORTING of widgets, and the removal of parameters that are later going to be overwritten. ?

I have the same observation for "Clock" and "Icon & Text size" widgets. They take time for loading and don't update immediately:

+) "Clock" widget shows at beginning an "incorrect" default hour then updates with the correct one of android system

+) "Icon & Text size" widgets stuck at initial size (for 20-30 seconds) before getting the the tuned size (e.g Wifi and GPS widgets).

How the widgets are loading ? They are loaded one after one or all simultaneous ? Can we integrate the widget loading into FCC loading process (such that once FCC is boot up, all widgets are available) ?
