The launcher is really good, nearly perfect. Two quick question :

1/ Is there anyway to move/resize the map widget ? I would love a bigger map , position correctly to my liking. If I start with a blank screen , I don't know which widget represent a map like in pre-setup themes.

2/ Can I hide the next / previous button in radio widget ? I only want a Play button nearest to me.

Many thanks

(Yandex Translator). There are a lot of settings. Tap on the map and tap on the gear. You can change the size, display of elements. At the initial setup, choose a skin with a map, then you can remove unnecessary elements and choose an empty or custom skin

The type of buttons in the player widget can be changed to other built-in or your own, sort out the settings

Well, since feb,24th 2022, fcc launcher releases are less frequently published here in xda

I have the information, that he is quite busy in the moment, no time for the Fcc now.

We all know that business and family are on first position and if time is left, he will work on this app.

Let´s give him his time. Doesn´t make sense to push. He will not leave as alone.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
I'm not pushing anyone here, I write only what I can see, of course he can take all the time he needs for the life priorities, that's normal,

Does anybody make it to add a PowerAmp Playlist Widget on a start screen of Fcc and can give me a hint how to get this done?

Everytime I add that Widget it opens the Playlists of PowerAmp so I can select one, but when it returns to the start screen, no symbol or anything is there.
[Android Head-Units] jhofm:
Does anyone know, if there is a chance to get the notification dots or notification numbers working on FCC? My head unit is based on Android 10, so it should be possible and I think I switched all neccessary settings for notifications, notification dots etc. in android general and app-specific settings, but they don't appear.

Is there a FCC-specific setting switch I missed? Do notification dots or -numbers work for one of you?

I mean those dots or numbers displayed at the upper right corner of the app icon, to show missed calls, messages or else.
[Android Head-Units] mclellan83:
If you haven't figured that out already, yes you can just add another page with another version of the map. I have it where I have the split as the home screen with a map and then a second full map style on another page.

Speaking of, I am running 2 units so was wondering if anyone would have any insight on what might be good to split them. Had originally planned on running the GPS, air ride, and headlight control on the top. Then just music on the bottom but can't do the air ride or headlight due to headunit constrictions. Just put in a new top unit so that it is bigger so will need to add FCC to it to get back to my older setup. But this is how it looks as it is

Did you resize the minimap on your last pic? I didn't know that was possible!

Is anyone here using PowerAmp? For the last few days FCC won't show album cover and title/album. When I switch to radio and back to PowerAmp, it shows the actual cover and song info, but when the next song comes on, album cover stays from the song before and title/album name just disappears.

In the last few weeks I didn't change any settings, but I had to reinstall the PowerAmp full version unlocker one or two days after this bug happened for the first time. Any ideas?
[Android Head-Units] mclellan83:
It was actually one of the buildable pages that I used, that is what I am thinking of running on the top as the main screen.

In that last pic the screen up top I have never been able to control the music through and of the iterations I have done with it and it has never shown album art even though I have seen others with it I believe

Hi all, today I would also like to write a contribution and thank you for this very successful launcher. I briefly tried the Car Launcher and CarWebGuru, but unfortunately found that these launchers don't show any song titles when I play music via smartphone and Bluetooth (that's how I mostly listen to music). In addition, the FCC has many setting options, is very well structured and translated very well. Very good work! Of course I would like to thank the numerous users who, through their contributions, made it very easy for me to understand the FCC Launcher. Rigattoni and Okji for example and of course many more. Rigattoni no longer in the German forum? What a pity! Of course I still have a few questions and I hope that you can help me. Below is a picture with my layout and my question is if there is a possibility that the button whose app is currently running can be colored? I thought I read that. Also, I see images with an equalizer displayed, but am afraid that this option is no longer available?
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
@SpeedFire- are you ok ?
[Android Head-Units] Sivabalan:
Hi There,

I bought an Android head unit. following are the details:

Brand: BlockBuster

Model: BBT-401 (K2501)

OS: Android 10 stock

Processor: Allwinner T5 quad core 1.8GHz

RAM and ROM: 4GB and 32GB

GPU: Mali-G31

Board: exdroid

Hardware: Sun50iw9p1

Screen Res: 1024x600 IPS glass capacitive

Was evaluating FCC car launcher. I like various options like the ability to use android widgets and integration with can-bus and OBD.

issue 1: when I press the "go-back" touch button on the left side of the head unit multiple times. there is a android ticker stating "Launcher is exiting" and after some loading Launcher skin comeback with all the widgets mis-aligned and the central widget is not showing the album art work of the playing music properly.

If I restart the launcher using the "Restart" option, all the problems goes away and everything back to normal. Is it expected?

Issue 2: Also the "Reset" option which id present in the drawer for restarting the head-unit is not working in FCC car launcher. I had to launch a different launcher and press the "Reset" app in the drawer just to restart the headunit. Is this issue expected?

The first issue is holding me back from buying the full version of this launcher.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Sivbal.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Why are you pressing the back-button multiple times? Sorry, but you need to explain the reason for this behavior...

At least your 4-core system get´s at some time in an unstable status due to it´s performance restrictions.

The reset-button is not usable on every single unit. This depends on the MCU. Have you set the right device type of unit on setup? If not... Fcc settings --> Advanced settings -->Select your device type. there you should choose Alwinner.
[Android Head-Units] Sivabalan:
Thanks for your reply. Yes the device is correctly set to Allwinner. I asked this question because If I use a different launcher like Nova, its working....I am able to reboot the system. But here its not working. Other than that everything works great. I really like this Launcher.

I used to Android mobiles where we frequently press the back button to get to the home phone or go back in an app. So that habit.

My system is equipped with Allwinner T5 processor. CPU-Z shows it has 8 cores(may be threads), 4GB RAM and 32GB ROM.

From Manufacturer(Allwinner)

Do you think this processor is inadequate to run Fcc Launcher?

Finally got the unit to work right after they sent me the same software my lower unit is running, some more minor tweaks to get it fully how I want. Wish there was a way to integrate Spotify with album art so it could be controlled by the center widget

In the "Minimap" settings (at least of the paid version) you can set which navigation app is addressed via the destination buttons of the minimap to open and build routes in. In a selection menu, a number of navigation apps are available, e.g. "Google Maps", "Sygic", "CoPilot", "Here Maps" etc., but unfortunately not "TomTom".

Is there anyway to call TomTom (in my case TomTom LatAm), e.g. by renaming files, so that in FCC minimap settings e.g. Sygic is set, but FCC then opens TomTom?

If so, how would this have to be done? Any suggestion (that is described in such a way that I as a non-expert can understand it) will be appreciated.

I set fcc launchef as default, but the next morning when I start the car, a notification panel appears to select launcher . is there any way to fix this problem?
[Android Head-Units] kolega16:
(Yandex Translator) Before choosing "yes", click "always" in the confirmation window. On some devices, it is necessary to disable "digital well-being".
[Android Head-Units] sieutathan98:
I have selected always but when I turn it off for a while when I turn on the device, the launcher menu appears
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Why not deactivating the system launcher in the settings? Nothing easier than that to not get into this issue...
[Android Head-Units] meisanerd:
That depends on the head unit, mine won't let me disable "critical" apps like the launcher, or the garbage music app that doesn't even support basic metadata tags on the music...
[Android Head-Units] knattert0n:
I had the same problem on my Joying HU, it wouldn't save the setting properly and OEM launcher cant be disabled (without root). What did it for me was going to Android settings - apps - fcc launcher - and set it as the standard launcher there. I also disabled Digital Wellbeing, but I think that had no effect.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
News from @SpeedFire- ????????
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Yes, yesterday he uploaded Fcc Launcher v3.900 on his beta channel on Play Store. According to the change log it contains bug fixes and according to his post #9,131 it should be almost the same as the (previous/official) version in the Play Store but with updated libraries.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
So you have now a complete different unit as before and you are trying to restore your complete design back to the new unit, or did I get you wrong?

Nevertheless... It´s always a good idea to have a separate backup on a local disk/SD/Stick.
[Android Head-Units] yves1963:
thanks for your reply.

The android radio I do have now is the same type as my previous one.

The problem is mainly that I can't get on dropbox.

But I can download a backup with my PC and put it on a stick.

Only then I don't know how to put this back in my car launcher.

Because it only gives me the option "Restore from dropbox"
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Are you sure you are talking about the Fcc Car Launcher?

Fcc Car Launcher has 2 options to backup and restore: Local and in Google Drive. There is no option to store on Dropbox.
[Android Head-Units] yves1963:
My app is car launcher pro.

But now that I'm looking further I see that this is apparently not the same as fcc car launcher. (I think so anyway)

My apologies for this mistake

And thank you very much for your help

I have also sent them a message through the app but have not received a reply

But keep looking
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
In this case... you need to go to this thread: https://xdaforums.com/t/car-launcher-pro.3295086/

[Android Head-Units] squarefw:
the mini map auto scale by speed setting seems not working, one zoom all the time, any tips?
[Android Head-Units] squarefw:
I have another question :)

Why in split window mode I don't have the google map app? Even though I have google Maps opened at the front, but when I click the back app list button it would "merge" into Fcc launcher? I would like to have Fcc launcher on screen left, and google map navigating on the right side of screen.
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
@squarefw I have exactly the same thing presently. Plus in order to go from PowerAmp to NavRadio via the Music widget I have to press either source button several times, else it just jumps back to the previous app. So for example if running PA called Music on the widget and wish to use NavRadio, called umm, Radio on the widget, I need to tap Radio at least four times. If I don't the radio will pay for about 2 seconds then PA will continue. This is not new for mew but more regular with 5.2.
[Android Head-Units] pdedinski:
I am using FCC car launcher for some time, and after lots of experimenting I managed to make it work sufficiently well with my unknown brand chinese Android 10 (fake 11) headunit. Great piece of software overall.. I still have few issues that If somebody knows some solution or advice for them I would be grateful

1. I use foobar2000 as audio-player (it is lightweight and more importantly supports Replay Gain, and also has the ability to scan files for RG). It successfully launches itself when the unit comes back from sleep (no option for complete power-off in the Factory Settings, or at least I did not find one). I opted for the option to open the player briefly in fullscreen, becouse otherwise automatically starting the playback bugs sometimes. So The player opens and playback starts automatically upon player open. However some seconds later (between 5 and 10) the playback is being paused, then played again and then paused again.. Sometimes it just plays other times it stays paused. I am not sure why is this behavior.. Is it the FCC sends something like 'toggle playback' command to the player after a certain amount of time without knowing it is already playing back. If so is there a possibility to turn this off without having to turn off 'launch last player on boot' option ?

2. The music player widget some times lose the Track/Artist information. 'Restore Widget' option work only for the Widgets on the 'Main' screen. Secondary screens remain bugged and it doesn't fix even if I delete and create the widget anew. Did anyone encounter this and has a solution for it ?

3. It would be good if the compass widget had the possibility to just compactly show current bearing with numbers and letters instead of a big compass.

4. Clock widget date/day of week text loses its font size settings after I restore a backup of the layout.

Hello.

I am a new premium user.

My drive is UIS7862 (TS10) 4+64gb.

I don't know what type of device to configure. With Rockchip it works, but fails:

volume control

A2DP control

obd2 widget

And I don't know if something else is wrong.

I can't find help.

What would be the correct configuration?

Thank you so much
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Phone or tablet !
[Android Head-Units] pdedinski:
Most of the Rockchip devices, and actually most of the Android headunits in general have a separate microcontroller unit (MCU) that acts as a bridge between the device hardware and Android and most of them have their volume control commpletely separated from the Android media volume control, so there is no way to control it with custom software, unless that software somehow is able to manage the MCU. So it won't work with FCC car launcher, nor with AGAMA or any other of the popular launchers out there.

As for the OBD2 widget I think you need an OBD2 bluetooth device on the car diagnostic port, paired with your headunit in order to get this to work. Never tried it, but that is my guess.

A2DP control is integrated with your device bluetooth app which is also outside the control of the launcher. Bluetooth apps are kind of deeply integrated into the unit and cannot be replaced unless you have some custom firmware. Most of the time they suck, but you are kind of stuck with them.

Any radio widget?
[Android Head-Units] onkel-adi:
Good morning. First at all MAX KUDOS to the developer. Great work. Supporter here (Premium & review on google play). You deserve 5 starts.

I want to get a skin as identical to android auto coolwalk (google it) as possible. I think I'm close, but failing at some points.

1) is it possible to force the widgets (not the widgets included in FCC, but the widget from other apps) to have round corners? Like I can set this up on the map?

2) as you provide different skins, can I help you to create a skin - android auto coolwalk - programmatically (developer and hobby webdesigner here) so it can be used by others too? would this be OK to you?

3) One thing that drives me crazy and you can fix it probably very fast. On your music widget with full size album cover in the background I can put overlays on the album (60% shadow) to better see the controls and texts. But on the left and the right of the album cover there remains 1-2 mm unshadowed cover and this drives me crazy (yes I know, I'm perfectionist).

[Android Head-Units] pdedinski:
So.. after a several months of usage of FCC car launcher I will recap my experience and post a few issues I have with it, one of which, quite annoying and I hope it gets fixed at some point.

First things, first.. Great job for this versatile and highly customizable launcher. Thanks for the great effort in creating it. I understand that high customization, of a software that runs on who-knows-what hardware, especially with all the china-made headunits most of us have, leads to lots of potential for issues.

So I am running some China no-name PX5 Android 10 headunit. FCC works flawlessly for the most part except for the following issues I have (in order of annoyance)

1. After device soft reboot (or normal system start for that matter, when device boots "from scratch" and not just waking from sleep), soon after everything is started and music starts playing, the Music Player widgets lose their information. Artist/Track widget displays just '-', cover art starts to randomly disappear and appear, and this cannot be fixed by 'Restore Widgets'. The only way to fix it is to restore all from a backup. I use currently Musicolet player, but the behavior is the same with using Foobar 2000 for android and PowerAmp

2.If I use the clock widget to display an analog clock, when I try to edit any of the widgets, the clock disappears, showing only its arms. The only way to fix it is to edit the widget and change the type of analog clock to some other, and then change it back.

3. Sort of related to the first issue.. When I restore settings from backup, soon after that the secondary text of the date/time widget (the date/day of week text) loses its font size settings and resets to its initial one, and I need to fix it manually

So far these are the things that spoil my otherwise great experience with the launcher. If somebody knows a fix or workaround for some of these issues, it will be highly appreciated.

Is there anyone to help me with the launcher, I tried 2 applications, I can't change the home screen, I do it as a home screen, but when I come back, it returns to its old state, what I did didn't happen, isn't there a way to delete the original home screen, I'm bored of this job

There is no solution to this, I guess no matter what I did, the device is bad

2. Playstore page opens up, don't know why ??

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] er453d:
Update: Using my player direct inside of head unit (liveone, better known as Slacker) instead of through Bluetooth solved the issue I was having.

It is unfortunate that this information cannot be drawn from Bluetooth, but I do like the functionality of it and the album art works as well.

I ended up using the Android tablet selection but I am not sure if it made a difference. Head unit selection is only available through reinstall and not install options listed under About in settings. For this reason I did not continue to test other unit selections.

If you have a Hikity try it this way.

If this Head unit could be added or aligned with current options, this would be appreciated.

All in all a great launcher. I will continue to test functionality with current set up, but will likely buy. Appreciate all the work in making this launcher. It's the best I have seen.
