Hi [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

I've noticed that when the volume is low at speed, the volume will turn down to 0 (or mute) when slowing or stopping. This also mutes navigation announcements as well as music. It's mostly a problem in urban/town driving and because the quietest possible volume on my head unit is not that quiet!

Is there any possibility of configuring SDVC so that it won't drop below volume '1' (i.e. completely muting)? Would this interfere with the mute/unmute issue that you previously fixed??

kind regards

[/COLOR [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] I've also noticed that if playing from a mass storage source (i.e. SD card) using the stock Music app, when the system comes out of sleep for a short period it will not automatically resume playing. It appears as though the SD is not mounted properly on wake, but if I switch source (e.g. to radio) and back to SD music, it is mounted and the app resumes playing from where it left off. Do you think this is a function of the system not mounting the card properly on wake, or is it something you can fix within FCC? Many thanks :)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Thank you for this suggestion. Will be added in the next beta.

Should current versions of FCC be able to, after coming out of Sleep, or after a full boot-- be able to continue playing the last mp3 file that was playing at car turn off. :confused:

At the moment, it seems to select the correct player, but then opens that player in foreground, and requires the user to instruct the player to PLAY, from withing the app.

Is there a way to get FCC to start that last running quickplayer in background, in the PLAY state, with FCC's controls synced correctly to the fact that it is playing.

Typically still, especially after a start up boot, I have to Re-start FCC a number of times, to get it to sync and run correctly, updating songs and Artwork. Then it is OK, but it does need quite a lot of RESET Help to get it "sorted out" to run correctly.

ALso, Home button still takes a number of seconds to actually return Home, been like this for about 3-4 weeks of updates. Back is instantaneous like it should be, and always has been. ;)

What are the changes in GPS procedures?

Is it only showing the name of Street on wich we are going?

Hello,

I installed and bought the app today. Unfortunately, I'm not at peace. I can not play music in the App PC radio, every time I start a station and the app starts to play something then the music always stops. With another launcher it works flawlessly. What also bothers me if I activated the skin with the Navi I would like to insert a Scrollbar App Bar, currently I can only max. 6 Apps etc. store. Can this also be set somewhere?

Wrong Date in clock/date widget

When I use the clock widget and switch date/time (date above time) the date is wrong.

Swicth back (time above date) the date is oke.

This was oke but after upgrade to 3.202 this bug was there.

I use AllWinner T8
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
I've been having similar issue with it not wanting to resume after wake but with most streaming players (Deezer opens the app but never auto plays, Pandora takes it's sweet time and most of the time I have to open it to make it go and Spotify works most of the time but sometimes has an issue).

I use PowerAmp (I think your problem is with blackplayer?) for my audio files and there is an option in the settings to have it resume playing and works perfect. You might check and see if your player has a similar option. And see if PowerAmp works for you or not.

Also make sure that in FCC settings under "Sound" and then "music player on boot" and make sure the options "autostart last player" and "play even if music was on pause" is ticked.

Oh, and I too have been having a slow response with the home button.

Oh good, I was thinking it was just me in some weird setting I have but I've been having this problem too.
[Android Head-Units] mouragio:
Today installed the app on my tablet, mounted into my car. I have set the tablet to go to sleep after 15mins of no activity (and not on power).

Maybe I missed a setting, but when the tablet is on the fcc screen, it does not go to sleep. When I go to anothwr page (even settings page/widgets/whatever) the tablet will go to sleep. Is there something on those pages what keeps him awake?

What have you Done? About this Problem with pcradio
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
Nothing... Can't find a solution. Hopefully it's something [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] can fix for us.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Fix for PCRadio will be available in the next version (already fixed it). Thank you for reporting the issue.

Did you happen to read this? Can you please help with this too?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
In the version 3.203 "fm_next" and "fm_prev" actions will be added to the FCC custom actions list.

To launch these actions outside FCC Launcher you can use this broadcasts.

Action: "ru.speedfire.flycontrolcenter.PARSE_AND_LAUNCH"

Extra: "pkg", "fm_next"

And

Action: "ru.speedfire.flycontrolcenter.PARSE_AND_LAUNCH"

Extra: "pkg", "fm_prev"

In Java it looks like this:

Intent actionIntent = new Intent("ru.speedfire.flycontrolcenter.PARSE_AND_LAUNCH");

actionIntent.putExtra("pkg", "fm_next");

sendBroadcast(actionIntent);
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Release 3.203. Some quick fixes:

- PCRadio fix

- Player autostart on boot fix

- Date in TimeWidget is fixed

- FM next / previous actions added

Release 3.203
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] Perfect! YOU ROCK! Thank you very much for all your hard work! :highfive:

I'll test it out and report any bugs I find.
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
Sorry for the noob questions but how exactly would write this for the mtce-utilis, settings.ini?

Do you know if it's possible to have some kind of code for a buttons press and hold for a different action?

Most of the code in there is is something like:

[com.microtek.radio#keys]

activity_300=ru.speedfire.flycontrolcenter.PARSE_AND_LAUNCH

Or something similar. The would be control only for the radio app, with 300 being the steering wheel button.

My settings.ini is attached if that would help. Thank you.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Thanks ... - Player auto-start on boot fix ..

Definitely starts playing now, but I think I have to run off some options in FCC or the Blackplayer that were trying to make it auto-start before r, as the player "seems" to load twice now.

Also, I maxed out the start delay.. I think the USB drive was still being tested by the OS, and was not ready when the payer had loaded . ?

Need to do some further testing but it looks like it is going in the right direction .. so thanks again for the fix.

The "FM next / previous actions added" will be nice as well :)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
It looks like this app can only launch Activities and is not able to send Broadcasts. So it cannot be used.
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
According to this, I should be able to. I'm just not sure the format everything needs to be written in.
[Android Head-Units] Joecool92:

[Android Head-Units] Ben.suffolk:
Still getting random crashes where the dialogue pops up asking if I want to restart FCC. I updated yesterday to the latest beta (Not sure which version that was) but its been doing this for a couple of months now. It seems to happen more the further I travel. Today was in new area and it happened a lot more. So I don't know if its related to retrieving data for speed limits etc from OSM. That could just be a red herring of course :(

I'm on a p5 running Android 8.

EDIT: P.S. I have tried of few full reboots as well whilst its been happening and that made no difference.

Beta 3.204

Restarting issue much improved.. did not restart during 15 minutes of testing.

However

(1) Brightness widget has stopped working correctly.

Does not cycle through all selected options, and does not alter brightness at all.

I think it was working in 3.203

(2) After a Restart, when music is starts playing, and Player Widget Controls to select next tracks are ignored( Buffered) for about 3 minutes, and then suddenly they are all processed in quick succession.

(3) Home button still very unresponsive (can take up to 3-4 seconds to respond)
[Android Head-Units] millab:
I had the same thing occur in 3.203 - I removed the widget and created a new one and it has been fine ever since.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
I tried that TWICE .. made no difference... Maybe in a final attempt I will remove it -- full -reboot, and then re-install it.. if that does not work .. it's a recently introduced bug...

(maybe the px5 code got mixed up with the Allwinner code for the brightness ???)
[Android Head-Units] millab:
Actually I think I applied a new skin page and that is what fixed it
[Android Head-Units] sambhasanbiswas:
Been using FCC car launcher for a week now and am surprised to see the presence of the forum and support for the launcher. To help the developer I have also opted for the premium version knowing certain bugs/problems.

For your reference am using a headunit with PX5, CSN2 MCU with Android Oreo. FCC launcher is set for MCU MTCE.

Can anyone suggest solutions to these:

1. The launcher cannot detect my FM radio player

2. Openweather custom API is not getting set

3. Contact widget cannot find contacts from the Bluetooth app

4. Speed based volume control is not working
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Issues 1 and 4 suggest that your head unit may not support standard PX5 integration. Please send a photo of your device details -> FCC Settings -> About -> Bottom of the page.

If you have a root you can copy (using Root Explorer) /system/priv-apps/ and /data/apps/ folders and send them to me.
[Android Head-Units] Ben.suffolk:
Brilliant, will upgrade to that next time I'm in the car.
[Android Head-Units] wanze2001:
Is there any way to prevent certain apps from running together? Such as pcradio and fm radio or dab in the background

continue.

What possibilities do I have to create completely white skins during the day?

Background is with me the display is bad to unreadable when the sun is shining, for PC radio I already have a white blue mod.

By a white background and dark writing I can read it well, at night would have to switch to the dark mode. I think that would be a real added value for many
[Android Head-Units] ZeroZorro:
So far so good, no FC's yet....updated to 3.204 this morning and also GS MCU to 3.00

Need some thorough testing off course but looks promising!

What steps do I need to do to integrate googlemaps into the widget?

When I click Work it goes to GoogleMaps to calculate route, but back to FCC screen the GoogleMap is on top of it (windowed) but the widget doesn't show directions. Is that how it's supposed to be?

Also when trying to use Google Voice in FCC to enter Home address it works as in it 'listens' but when I stop talking it starts to search (coloured dots circling) forever

Both seems issued by incorrect integration? Even Agama launcher can't pick up GoogleMaps directions like for instance Sygic which works great.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

I would ask for a separated color scheme for day and night mode, incl. background and font colors.

The reason from my perspective is, that these units don´t allow to reduce the brightness to 0 or at least not dark enough to not irritate in a dark night drive.

Yes one could use a screen saver, but this is not usable for driving with navigation.
[Android Head-Units] ZeroZorro:
Another thing I noticed in the last couple of Bèta's

I have setup Bluetooth and WiFi connection widget. Set them up exactly the same...

Only thing is that when Bluetooth is connected the Icon is changed like it should, but there is no name of the connection underneath. When not connected it shows "not connected"

The name of the connection I have is shorter than "not connected" so that doesn't seem to be the issue

WiFi has it and works like it should (icon change and showing connection)
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] with the latest 3.204 beta here are some issues I've had (although most have been present for some time):

-With PowerAmp as my 4th player (not sure if it's the same on main player), the album art has been buggy and not showing up some of the time... It displays numbers instead, even though I have the default graphic set for songs without album art.

-Also with PowerAmp, when coming out of sleep and tries to do the auto-play, most of the time it will do a double press of the play button so that it will play for a second then pause again. And sometimes it will do a triple play button press so that it plays, pauses, then plays again.

-Also if I switch from PowerAmp, being my 4th player, to one of the main 3 players, the 4th player icon show up as whichever of the main 3 players I choose. For example; If I go from PowerAmp (4th player) to Pandora (1st player), both the 1st player and 4th player Icons show up as Pandora Icons. Maybe make it an option to have a permanent 4th player?

-I've also been having issues when I use the quickplayer icons to try and switch from the 4th player to any one of the main 3 players, both of them go away and the other player never starts.... with the exception of Spotify (my 2nd player). But switching between the main 3, all work fine. My players are Pandora (#1), Spotify (#2), Deezer (#3), PowerAmp (#4).

-For the QuickPlayer widget, I use icons instead of text and sometimes when coming out of sleep, it's quite slow bringing up the icons (just empty space is all that is show), sometimes just a little slow, and sometimes, it's pretty instant. For the most part, they will show up if I change the track.

-Also with the QuickPlayer widget, when switching through the different players, sometimes it will not register the player selection change and colorize the correct icon to indicate the correct player is active.

- I too still have issues with the home button. It seems it takes more time to work when first coming out of sleep/boot-up, then starts to work more like it should with time (or more use?).

-I'd like to have it to when it wakes up, it will load whatever players, apps and tasks that need to do their thing, then when they are all done, go back to my home screen. Would it be possible to add a separate auto-run to return back to home or certain screen after xx seconds of wake up? I've tried doing it with the autostart already but I can't get the desired effect.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Had the same issue when I said "Navigate to nearest gas station"..

Then i tried leaving off the "navigate to",, and it worked .

Only tried this once last night... will need to confirm, but it looks like in FCC, with the MiniMap, it may not like the "Navigate to" ???

I think it is very clever to have programmed in the MinMap, and it can be scaled to fit anywhere on the screen (unlike Google map), but I must be missing something.

Why would one want to use Mini-Map over the actual Google Map app. What does FCC MiniMap give you that Google Map does not ?

EXACTLY what whitewolf8111 says .. 100% . every point he makes, I also experience have been experiencing for many months.

Did you ever get the Artwork notification issue sorted out with the PowerAmp developer.. or is your work around good enough to make it work correctly in FCC ?
[Android Head-Units] ab1702:
I see exactly the same thing with the Bluetooth and WiFi widget. No Bluetooth name unless it is saying not connected.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
I believe SpeedFire- said, when he added the ability for the Bluetooth to display the connected device name, that there was an inherent issue with the Android OS, and that results in the Widget only being able to detect the name, at the time that the connection is first established.

IF you wait until FCC is fully up and running, before allowing the Bluetooth connection (or turn OFF Bluetooth on phone, and then back on again, when FCC is running), it should then display the connected device's name.

At least that how it was when it was 1st Introduced and beta tested.

[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
It's hard to say without any additional information. Try to restore the launcher's last state from a backup (if you've created a backup).
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Is it still good?

Yes I confirm. If you see logo that means that the launcher was restarted (after crash for example).

I confirm this bug. Need to investigate it.

I have reproduced it as well. As I thought this is because of a Broadcast system (a part of Android system) slow start. I see that broadcasts are sent by the FCC Launcher instantly when one presses the button, but these broadcasts are not received by third party players (actually they are delayed by android system) until Android system is fully loaded. The only workaround is to start players via Service launch not Broadcasts. The problem here is that there is no any universal way to do so and most players do not allow to launch their Services by third party apps (like Launchers).

The reason for this is not clear enough. I already tried to fix this. Actually this 3-4 seconds delay IS a workaround implemented. Before it Home button was ignored completely. UPDATE: Maybe I've found the reason. Please check if it's fixed in the next version.
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
Great news! :cool:
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Do you know which popular players allow Service Launch. ?

Could FCC launch those via Service, and the remainder by Broadcast - or some such mechanism that took advantage of the ones that accept Service Start.

I would strongly favor one that started quickly, as my default FCC player.

BTW: Did the PowerAmp guy ever get back to you about fixing the Artwork issue, and since you have contact with him, would he consider making his app Service Startable (if not already).

Release 3.205:

- New navigation apps are added to Destinations (to open and build routes in): Sygic, OSM, CoPilot, HERE Maps, Scout, Navigon, MapsMe

- Brightness widget fix

- Home button not responding fix (hopefully)

- Optimizations
[Android Head-Units] ab1702:
I use Apple Music and dab-z and Apple Music starts almost straight away after sleep if I were using that last
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
3.205 looking REALLY GOOD :)

(a) Brightness widget working again.

(b) Home button back to working when it is pressed without delay

(c) Looks like startup has been optimized .. no longer the buffering of Touches for 3 minutes at startup, and then they all came at once !!

Still some "random ?" jumping between Quickplayers at restart, but once it settles down, then Qucikplayer selection is fine, and eventually, it seems to get fully sorted, and the correct artwork starts to appear for the currently selected Quickplayer.

Players (Blackplayer) seems to start up a lot faster after HU startup now

Just has to wait for USB drive.

(Wish there was a way to stop the OS from having to do a media check when it mounts the USB or SD card, With a big one 128G / 256G it takes MINUTES !!)

I think enjoying the HU in the car has just taken a big step forwards :) Thanks

Alpha 3.206:

- New feature! Support for track / playlist lists in some players.

You can set this action in player widget's options (on touch on Album Art or on Track/Artist labels).

Some players do not support this feature, some (like Spotify) do support but do not give access to any app except for Android Auto.

This feature seems to be supported by PowerAmp, Black Player, PCRadio.

Download alpha: removed. will be uploaded later
