After some internal testing I will upload a next beta.'

New feature - is the Screensaver screen.

You can set any of your screen to be Screensaver screen. This means that it will turn black when you scroll to it.

You can set any widget / icon to it and customize them as you always (someone may want to see just clock, someone may want to add player widget / speed widget etc. etc.). You can also set a custom Skin on top of that black background, so it can be customized even better.

All swipe gestures continue to work on that Screensaver screen.

You can also set a delay after which FCC Launcher will move to Screensaver screen after your last interaction with the launcher.

I think this will become one of the most powerful, customizable and easy to use implementations of screensaver. Hope you will like it!

Here is a quick demo:

A really big step forward! Thank you. You do really nice work.

@speedfire I have a little wish list.

*To add a small Activity Visualizer.

*Bleutooth / WiFi status icon.

*Audials show station name.

No hurry :) but that would be nice.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Uploaded a beta. In the beta I have also added an option to auto-move to Screensaver screen only during dark hours.

What do you mean by this?
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
Added in the FCC player

Something like this.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
This is a bit hard as we use Widgets.

Currently you can set Live wallpapers with media visualisers - there are a lot of them in Play Market.
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
No problems Speedfire.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Guys, does anyone have any significant bug / issue?

I want to move beta to a release channel finally (we have done more than 150 betas since last release).
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
Not that I know off. Only the app crash directly in android 7.1.2

That's all at the moment for me.

Edit: android 7.1.2 works with the last beta.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Can you please check this on the latest beta?

[Android Head-Units] ric69:
I don't have no more problems of resize or icons with test52 here
[Android Head-Units] tonimontoia:
besides all the icons are gone, I can't even create a page and set widgets
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
What widget? Player widget or image widget?
[Android Head-Units] wifi7501:
player widget.

then it is impossibile to add app to the screen
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Can you record a short video?

Are you on test52?
[Android Head-Units] gippo2006:
anche il widjet di torque pro. Lo crei ma poi non si visualizza. Inoltre navradio+ molte volte non si sente.
[Android Head-Units] wifi7501:
yes on test 52
[Android Head-Units] acmegr:
As I said, when I press the app BT Call that u see in the 1st picture, it gets me to the a screen where I cant find any Bluetooth device. As you see in the 2nd pic, "Phone's Bluetooth address: null". its like it doesn't have bluetooth.

Anyone that could help?
[Android Head-Units] wifi7501:
video
[Android Head-Units] buffaloquinn:
Have you posted this question in the forum for your specific headunit? This seems like a hardware/headunit software issue. Not an FCC launcher problem. The Bluetooth apps are headunit specific, not FCC aaddons. Have you tried reseting the unit and starting all over? Maybe it just didn't pair correctly with your phone. Make sure you "forget" the headunit on your phone before you do the reset so it doesn't trust the old setup.

Test52:

Restore FCC fromGdrive backup works will now

Restore from SD does not work (missing directory....)
[Android Head-Units] shdwkeeper:
Any idea how to delete backups off Google Drive or SD card? The above didn't help
[Android Head-Units] shdwkeeper:
Just installed test version 52. When selecting player widget style, Square is actually Round. square album art only doesn't work, neither does circle album art only. They don't display the album art.
[Android Head-Units] shdwkeeper:
Looks good what settings and skin. What icon sizes and icon pack you using? Is map in dark mode?
[Android Head-Units] hostelhostel:
I have no skin selected, so just a blank "No Skin" screen. As background simply a black picture. I have the map permanently faded in. Map provider Google, Skin Black. Map size in the settings of the map extended to the whole screen. The icons are from the iconpack "Delta". Icon size is 72.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
To move forward I really need to complete rewriting all the Fcc widgets. Sometimes this is not that easy.

Brightness widget is rewritten in this test version (with some additional customisation options like custom images and icon colours): fcclauncher-3.442_test53.apk
[Android Head-Units] tonimontoia:
fcc version 53 does not work, does not make you add widgets, does not make you change colors on existing widgets type Wi-Fi does not make you add anything, px5 ROM v5, installed everything from new not copied above
[Android Head-Units] jeff leggett:
I am having some problems with Test 53 also. Have to add FCC as home launcher every cold boot. Player widget stops working. Brightness automatically dims. Bluetooth I think is acting wonky. All after cold boot. Only had time to play around for a bit. Thank you for still grinding!
[Android Head-Units] gippo2006:
Anche io ho provato fcc versione 53. I widjet crati non vengono visualizzati come torque pro, navradio+ si bloccano continuamente e non si possono ridimensionare correttamente i widjet delle skin.
[Android Head-Units] okij:
How about recording a video and taking a logcat so @SpeedFire- can have a closer look at your issues?
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Dear @SpeedFire-, today I tried test53 and have to confirm the bug reports that @tonimontoia gave for test52 and test53, please also the see attached (zipped) video and the attached (zipped) backup of my FCC configuration.

After updating from test50 to test53, all widgets on my main screen (which is the middle screen out of 3 screens) are gone and only the minimap remains.

Actually those widgets are not gone but just not displayed, because after reverting from test53 to test50 (as also shown in the video), the icons are back again.

There's one widget on the 3rd screen which already had problems in test50 and older versions (don't remember when it first occured): The mode widget is not visible and usable after installing a new version (as you can see in the video). It only gets visible after opening its settings and changing the widget style, as you can see at about 00:02:00 in the video. Unfortunately the widget looses its visibility again when restarting the head unit or FCC.

Please have a look into this and fix these issues, as they make FCC unusable and prevent us from using and testing new versions starting from test52. Thanks in advance. :)🤞

P.S.: Please tell me if you need any further infos.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Yes, in test53 I can also confirm that I saw exactly the same behaviour , the widgets / icons were there but invisible
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
I am running 52. I have no widget issues, or brightness issues. Only issue I have is when pressing album art on the new player widget it takes me to the Playstore everytime. If I force the open on click to be Poweramp, it still goes to PS.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Try a clean installation of the apk test53 or clear the app's cache
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
@SpeedFire- I also can confirm that all widgets are not visible in #53.

At least my main screen is really completely empty. Switched back to #50
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
Will do that thank you
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Thank you for your reports! Looks like some major issue with test53.

Unfortunately I don't have time today to identify / fix it but I will try soon.

Please use test52 for now.
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Thanks for your feedback!

But as @tonimontoia reported, test52 already had the same issues in terms of missing icons as test53 has.

For now I'll stay on test50.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
The widgets are there. If you long press on a position where a widget is positioned (in my case album art), you see for a short time the picture, but it switches off immediately.
[Android Head-Units] Bladeforce:
I use poweramp as my audio player. When the car has been off the player will continue playing with the last track on the cd played instead of the actual track it was stopped on. As an example ifv i switch the car off on track 4 of 10 playing it will switch on with track 10 starting. How do i make it switch on with track 4 playing?
[Android Head-Units] liamstears:
Hey bud, has anything changed between the release on play store and these tests in regards to tpms widget?

I ask because for a long time after turning my car on the tpms didn't show straight away I had to kill the process then run it again so I got tasker to kill it on startup then FCC coming up when turning on brought it back to life but since trying these tests (which I think are amazing but the way) it seems the launcher doesn't load the tpms plugin the same as it use to? So it doesn't display unless I manually open up tpms now

Cheers buddy

HI team

Could anyone provide any insight as to why a Tablet Android 11 install will not sleep after usb charge disconnect.

It tries and goes to sleep screen but immediately launcher restarts
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Here is the fix for the bug of test53 (hopefully). @okij thank you for your backup - it helped a lot! Btw, I've fixed manual selection of backup file from sd card as well (it didn't work).

In test54 there were also made some preparations for Android 12 compatibility: fcclauncher-3.442_test54.apk
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
@SpeedFire- Thanks for test 54, not all the widgets restore properly yet, though I can add them and they seem to stay now. One of the main ones that doesn't work is a widget with quick player logos only (which is also missing under the player widget style), it shows them as small vertical logos. Then I have to go and select the Control button style, un-select Use Control buttons, and then un-select and then select the Quick player and Logos instead of text again to make it a Quick player logo only.

The quick players don't recognize if I manually open a player from an icon, it doesn't grey it out the last player, or colorize the player that I selected with the icon (all of them are not very greyed out anyway, not like Playstore Beta, even though I changed inactive color).

Also the Artist and Title from the player widget, and the clock widget font size do not keep the proper size font. They are too small. I can still go into the options for the widget and adjust the font size and they come back to normal size. I don't think it is keeping the font size I set for the clock either.

Also for Album Art, I have to go reselect the action for when the Album art is pressed (my case is to open the current player)

This was all coming from Playstore Beta, and updating to Test 54.

I attached one of my backups as I think it will make it easier to see the issues. It's not the one I really wanted to give you with my most current setup, but it's mostly the same.

I created a new Google account just for my FCC backups, because that was the only way I could get it to work, but it doesn't show any of my backups when I'm looking at Google drive (completely empty) but I can see them when looking at the Google backup in FCC, it's weird. Google drive has really been annoying lately, I deleted files but they never stay deleted. The last part is Googles problem ;)
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Thanks a lot! :)

I just installed it and can confirm that it fixes the issue of missing widgets on my configuration. (y)

I don't have the text scaling issues that @whitewolf8111 reported, however, I updated from test50 to test54 and didn't start from the Playstore version. I remember that I had issues with text scaling before when updating to one of the other 3.442 test versions, so I had to manually correct the text scaling again. IIRC I also reported this here on the thread. So I can confirm @whitewolf8111's bug report about text scaling issues when updating from the official Playstore version.

Another issue which I reported in my post with video and isn't fixed yet is the disappearing Mode widget after updating or restarting FCC Launcher, see attached picture #1. Please have a look into this.

Besides this, the compass rose still disappears in test54, please see attached picture #2.

Also, there are still some wrong (Compass widget related) texts in the settings of the Player widget, please see attached picture #3.

You are welcome! :)

Thanks. I noticed that the APK increased again by some MBytes. Is this caused by the Android 12 compatibility?

Edit: Pictures and some more feedback added.
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
I also have these issues with the compass. It just dawned on me that the compass widget is now included with FCC and the other compass app from the Playstore is no longer need? I did pay for the premium version of the compass app too... guess that's just considered a donation now. My text issues in the compass setting are a little different though:
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Thanks for confirmation of the disappearing compass rose.

That's correct (when the Compass widget bug will be fixed).

Yes, I did the same. IMHO it's a well deserved donation for the development that @SpeedFire- does. :)

In my report I didn't mean the Compass widget settings but the Player widget settings, which erratically contain some compass related texts in the progress bar section.
[Android Head-Units] shdwkeeper:
So you have the height of your map size set at 100? Or more like 80? When you say map permanently faded in what does that mean? I have my day/night mode set to auto. For some reason my street name never works it just says Unknown street
[Android Head-Units] shdwkeeper:
So I'm running Test 54, Im running the 1st Skin and if I choose just square album art. It doesn't display the art.

UPDATE - figured it out.
[Android Head-Units] daemondee:
@SpeedFire-

Will it be possible to add an option in the future to choose your own logo for the play, pause, next buttons in new player widget? Just like it was in the old version of player widget.
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
Apart from a positioning issue where I cannot get the app launch buttons where I want them - uneven spacing - I have no issues currently. I have no need of the compass so not tried that.
[Android Head-Units] shdwkeeper:
Is anyone having issues using Mapbox (minimap) and downloading maps. I keep getting corrupted map file, and when I try and delete it, it says it's deleted but when I exit or switch to Google maps and go back the old map is saying it's still there and process repeats itself. Any thoughts? Using Test 54.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
1) Can't reproduce compass disappearing. Please show all steps on video.

2) Thanks for player settings bug ("compass" related) - fixed
[Android Head-Units] okij:
@SpeedFire- I will see what I can do, because I don't know yet if there's a way to force the compass rose bug. It just seems to happen after a while and then only shows the speed display in the middle.

Also I reported this bug:

Are you able to reproduce and fix it?

And how about this question:
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Sure. Here is a new test version with this feature added: fcclauncher-3.442_test55.apk
[Android Head-Units] daemondee:
Tested and works great. Thank you!
[Android Head-Units] evildead243:
Good afternoon. There are no street names in the last builds. The Internet works. The streets don't show up. Allwinner t8. And when will you be on 4pda?

Test 55View attachment 5392495
[Android Head-Units] okij:
OK, here are the steps for reproducing the issues that I reported:

Disappearing Compass rose:

Please use the backup of my FCC configuration which I posted here.

Add FCC Launcher to the apps that are not killed when head unit is in standby.

After sending the head unit to sleep and waking it again, the compass rose and arrow are disappeared.

Today I took the attached Logcat log. About a minute before taking it I sent the head unit to sleep and then woke it again, so the compass rose disappeared. IMHO some software part of the compass rose crashes or is killed during sleep, maybe you can find something about this in the log.

Disappearing Mode button:

Please use the backup of my FCC configuration which I posted here.

Make sure that the Mode button on page #3 is shown. If not, long tap on it and change the icon layout forth and back, so it appears.

Manually restart FCC Launcher, e.g. by tapping on the "FCC Neustart" widget on page #3.

After this, the Mode button on page #3 has disappeared, like in screenshot 1.jpg which I posted here.

I hope this helps you to fix these issues. 🤞 Please tell me if you need any more infos or testing.

Besides this, I would like to ask you again for adding two options to the Player widget which I already asked you here:

I already asked you here on March 5th

and you answered me here on March 17th

So now I kindly remind you. ;) I really hope that you can now implement these feature requests.
[Android Head-Units] tonimontoia:
@speedfire you can do that the quick players there is the option to resize are too big thanks
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
This is very interesting, I use to have the artist text stuttering problem too, but thought it was fixed with the latest FCC test APKs... but now I'm starting to think that maybe it had something to do with the Hal9k V4 ROM, and the problem is now fixed in the Hal9k V5 ROM, because my artist text scrolls SUPER smooth now, and that was something that always bugged me a bit too.
[Android Head-Units] okij:
At first I also thought that it was fixed in the latest test APKs.

However, it only seems to work now with media players (I'm using GoneMad Music Player), but not with DAB-Z.

When listening to DAB-Z the scrolling text still stutters (i.e. is reset to the beginning) when title info or album art is being received, which happens every few seconds.

That's why I asked again for an option to turn off the scrolling, preferably separately for player #1, #2 and #3.
[Android Head-Units] Seniah21:
Make sleep mode work on tablet please
[Android Head-Units] okij:
@SpeedFire- Today I had an eye on this and can confirm that there are no street names in test55, i.e. on the top of the mini map, it always shows "unknown street". I'm using Google as maps provider on my MTCE PX6 head unit. Please have a look at this issue too. Thanks. :)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Thanks! I've reproduced this issue but need more time to understand its reasons and fix it.

I've added this option in this new test version. However, the scrolling issue itself has been fixed when we switched from remote to local widget update. Progress bar no longer results in a stuttering scrolling (this was a limitation of a remote widget update). Now you can use scrolling titles together with progress bar inside one widget.

Please test this new test version.

I don't plan until the new release version is out. Test versions are better to be tested in one place (here).

New test version: fcclauncher-3.442_test56.apk
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Thanks a lot, I will try the new test version. :)

As I've pointed out, the problem is not anymore with the progress bar, but still with DAB-Z, which sends updates with artist/title texts (even if there's no change in the texts) and/or album art (even if there's no change in it) every few seconds. Then the scrolling text jumps back to the beginning, so it stutters instead of scrolling through the whole text.

Maybe you can add some extra if-condition, so that the Player widget only gets updated if there's really a change in the artist/title texts or the album art. So you would have to compare the old artist/title texts and the old album art picture with the newly received data and only update the widget if the data really changed.

I know that you cannot receive DAB radio in your country, but you can have a look into one of the Logcat logs that I posted (e.g. here) to see how often DAB-Z sends its media broadcast intents for artist, title and album art information. Please tell me if you need any more information or testing in this regard.

P.S.: The new test56.apk is again about 65 MBytes big, while test55.apk was at the currently "normal" ~ 58 or 59 MBytes again, after test54 was > 60 MBytes. What's the reason for the newly increase in size? It's not a problem, but I'm really curious about this.
[Android Head-Units] evildead243:
Test

Test 56. The music widget never works fine when controlling the steering buttons. Works only when you click on the screen. The name of the street appears, but not as it should. Showed everything on video https://disk.yandex.ru/a/KjLGEUGQCJFmBQ
[Android Head-Units] okij:
For me the steering wheel buttons work fine as before (MTCE head unit) and also the street names on top of the mini map work again (Google Maps as maps provider). Please give some more details to @SpeedFire-.

Thanks a lot, the option to turn off the text scrolling is working fine. (y)

Would it also be possible to set this separately for player #1, #2 and #3, as I already asked?

Then I would disable the text scrolling only for DAB-Z which I assigned to player #1.

A better solution would be of course if you could fix the DAB-Z scrolling issues as I suggested here this morning.
[Android Head-Units] evildead243:
When you pause the music with the button on the steering wheel, the music doesn't change in the widget (the pause icon doesn't appear, the track duration line goes forward). When you remove the pause, the music starts playing, and the line of the duration of the track takes a real position. If you pause by pressing the screen, everything works well and is displayed properly. And for some reason he doesn't want to drive
[Android Head-Units] okij:
I tried Play/Pause button and can confirm this issue for my media Player (GoneMad Music Player) but not for DAB-Z, where it's working as expected.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
New test version: fcclauncher-3.442_test57.apk

- Mode widget fixed

- Compass widget hopefully fixed (can't confirm as I can't reproduce the bug reliably on my device)

- Player track/artist data is updated only when it is changed

- Auto-fit for street name in MiniMap fixed

- Optimisation of background data processing
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
Test 57, compass rose still disappears, leaving only the info in the center. I can go into the compass settings and re-select the background and make it appear again, but disappears again whenever coming out of sleep.

Let me know what I can do to help find the problem... Not sure if that would be captured with a log or not.
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
Hi, is there a way to set up trip computer by your needs in this launcher, I cannot get anything from this travel trip computer app installed in multimedia, it only shows data but I cannot make any changes in it except change units.

Maybe it is problem with canbus device I don't know.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Can someone check this version in terms of Compass issue: fcclauncher-3.442_test58.apk
