Thanks a lot for the new test version! :)

The support for "pinned shortcuts" when used together with Shortcut Maker is a very clever idea and adds many new possibilities. :cool:

I just tried to add a shortcut to directly access "My Apps" in the Play Store app via Shortcut Maker. Unfortunately I didn't manage to change the app symbol from Shortcut Maker to Play Store (as well as the app name). It asks me to restart FCC after applying a new symbol, but the app symbol stays the same. Could you please have a look?

Thanks for looking at the new map renderer issue too. Unfortunately it's still the same after you updated the libraries. Is there a setting for the visibility towards the horizon (like ... km ahead or like some percentage setting, so it also considers the zoom level) that you could increase? If not: Is there a setting for the background colour that can be seen at the horizon when it's not covered by the map graphics? If you look at the pictures that I posted here, it doesn't look too bad in day theme (because the colours are not too different), but it looks quite ugly in night theme, so this could be fixed if the background colour of the Minimap could be set by the user, preferably separately for day and night theme.

Yes, you can install test versions from the XDA thread on top of the installed one. Also the test versions check via the Google servers if you have already paid for the full version and unlocks the premium features.

@SpeedFire- I'm glad to see you back !!!!!
[Android Head-Units] kolega16:
@SpeedFire- once again I draw your attention to the problem of displaying the yandex minimap, after downloading another application, for example yandex music. Version 3.509_v2 is installed
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I just checked. It works fine for me even after installing Yandex Music.

Please check your internet connection.
[Android Head-Units] kolega16:
What does the Internet connection have to do with it? After restarting the launcher from the application menu, everything becomes normal. The device has a SIM card. There is Root on the device, I can try to remove LogCat
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Guys, please try this version.

Google made some changes in Billing library (which is used to check Premium purchase). Does it work (is Premium status applied correctly)?

@SpeedFire- I will also add in versions 3.4 ... the gray screen did not appear
[Android Head-Units] okij:
I just installed it and premium status is working fine, just as before. (y)

@speedfire

Can we still buy the Premium version, or cant we?

do u recieve anymoney?

a few posts back ive seen u changed the account and it has been accepted but it didnt fill up yet?

Also my radio keeps asking for default launching i saw a post in 2021 for this isue and the option to disable splitscreen. my split screen is disabled but still it asks for the default launcher every boot and also when i press the home button. also with the split screen button to disabled, it still shows both posibilities split screen and normal.

my unit is a TS10 UIS7862 6gb ram 128gb, im currently in the beta channel in the google playstore. version 3.509.
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
I think I have a good LogCat that captures the issues with the player widget. Everytime, in my case, NaviRadio or PowerAmp is in use, the instant the headlights come on the album art changes to a SAT icon. It only returns to the album art or radio station logo, if, a/ the track changes b/ the track or station is changed or c/ I swap between NaviRadio and Poweramp or vice versa. There are no ifs or buts, it happens every single time the headlights or sidelights are switched on, either automatically or manually. Hopefully the Log has captured me changing tracks etc. Please let me know if more information is needed. Thank you

@SpeedFire-

I now use 3.509 from playstore and seems I run into this issue on my CSN2 unit:

The current speed is reflected in the brightness button. Normally there should be posted an "A" for automatic... but look at it in the button down right:

View attachment 5616295View attachment 5616301

Seems that there is quite something mixed up...

I will update now to the current available beta posted here, but I fear I see the same issue.

For any reason I am not able to attach the log file...

Same behavior with 3.509_v3.

Hello

I am using pro version from store + latest beta from this thread on my MTCE PX6 with Hal9k MOD5.

With this Hal9k MOD5, the accessibility permissions only stay on if i add the FCC launcher to the list of apps which are kept in the memory when device is put to sleep.

Problem is that in this case the launcher doesn't "boot" and once the device wakes and takes me to the home screen, FCC will not start to play the last used music. If i don't add FCC to the list of apps which are kept in memory while device is in sleep mode, so FCC gets "killed" while asleep, and gets "booted" when head unit is woken, then last used music starts automatically when the home screen loads, but in this case accessibility permissions get disabled after every wake-up.

My question is: What features am I going to loose because of not activating accessibility settings for FCC launcher?

Music, starting automatically when device wakes up is very important to me.

​

Thanks

Unfortunately it's still not solved as I first thought

Can someone please tell me what features I will miss if I don't have accessibility service enabled for FCC launcher? Thank you

Hi @SpeedFire-

I would ask again after long time to get the Tasker "home" function with page settings working.

This is a test task to just to go to the home page 1 and after 2 sec. to page 2. Nothing changes...

View attachment 5623439

Means, that I can chose a page in Tasker as it is supposed to be as shown in the pic above. This is just a test task, the original task is quite complicated and makes no sense to post it here.

Background:

I got a 12.2" and a 12.8" unit where I can turn the screen from portrait mode to landscape mode.

As soon as I turn the screen, Tasker recognizes the movement and should then switch to a special page in Fcc to look "nice and shiny". The regular setting is landscape mode and Fcc is setup for this mode. As soon as you turn the screen, the screen will get split up into 1/2 Fcc and the other half is navigation. Due to the different screen size in portrait mode, the Fcc main page looks terrible and needs an own setup... normally on page 3. I just removed the screen to set it up again, but... doesn´t make sense if I need to manually move to page 3 and back.

Long time ago we had a discussion about page 0 and page 1 and it worked for some time.

I didn´t try turning the screen for a long time now and I recognized that this is not working anymore. So I am not able to say when it stopped working... sorry.

By the way...

This issue with changing icons in the widgets:

That is really annoying and shows up in 4 different widget types:

Bluetooth app

WiFi widget

Weather widget

Brightness widget

It does not happen always but always the icons always switch to the same internal icon for Bluetooth (phone) and weather (randomly for all different stages) : View attachment 5623449

The WiFi widget icon switches always to the BMW picture which is not used in here,

The brightness widget does not show the "A" if it is set to automatic. It happens from time to time, reproducibility is some sort of "sometimes".

How to fix:

Open up the setting of the widget and just change the size of the icon and back... and the icon is okay again until it happens again.

Mostly after a clean reboot, the icons are back to normal... but not always. Deep Sleep does NOT repair the icons.

[Android Head-Units] bajoseph04:
After being FCC user for the past 3 years, I decided to move away (at least for a while). Below are my observation of FCC.

1. It's too much customizable which is good for many but for someone looking for a quick setup, it doesn't suit perfectly.

2. Seems to be heavy on the headunit... yeah at least on my android headunit with 2gb RAM running android 6.

3. I've been a playstore beta tester and I frequently top up the xda version as well. One of the issue I've noticed with my unit is.. when FCC is set as launcher, the unit power down completely if the the car is turned off for even a couple of minutes (it takes 3 to 5 minutes for the unit to completely boot up while starting the car). But with the default launcher or others (I'll talk later), the head unit immediately wakes up. This is how it behaves for about 24 hrs... beyond that the unit takes its usual time to boot back.

4. I've lost the setup frequently and had to set it up again which is time consuming. (I know there is a backup and restore option. however, it has never restored 100%). Also I agree being a beta tester, this behaviour is verymuch expected.

with the above points I was looking for something quick and easy to setup since I lost my setup recently. I could come across a launcher called Autozen which seems to satisfy my needs and is far more light on the unit. The lifetime premium of the app is nearly 3 times that of FCC but considering the quick and easly setup, it wouldn't take me much time to restore even if I lose my settings (though it doesn't have a backup and restore option yet). Though the app is not 100% matured like the FCC and the customization options are limited, I prefer to go with it for now.

May be @SpeedFire- will launch another app as costly as autozen and is pretty simple, straight forward and light on the unit, I'll still purchase it (Lol!) and give it a spin. Who knows I may even come back to FCC someday when I get a headunit with a better configuration.

Btw I've got much support from this forum members and also @SpeedFire- has implemented one of my feature request in a day's time! Thanks much for @SpeedFire- and everyone here!
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
The power of FCC is the ability to be as simple as you wish or as customizable as you wish as well !
[Android Head-Units] bajoseph04:
Agree with you. But to make it look how one wants it to be, it still takes much time when something as simple as android auto with little more customization is okay with me considering the poor performance of my HU with FCC.

I fully understand we ask for more options and customization to the developers and it always take a hit at the performance of the unit. There need to be a balance of both and my HU is to be blamed here.
[Android Head-Units] bomvol:
If i set a route on the MiniMap using the destination buttons, it opens Google Maps, sets the route, goes home and draws the route on the MiniMap. Perfect!

But is there an easy way to get it to work the other way around? Setting a route in Google Maps and have that result also drawn on the MiniMap? Now I always have to add a new destination button with the location I found in GMaps and start it a second time plus, looking up a location by adding a new destination button lacks the intuitivity of GMaps.

Anybody can point me in the right direction, perhaps using Tasker, or something I might be missing.

Edit: Latest Beta from Play Store, Google api-key working,...
[Android Head-Units] Magget:
Hi!

New to FCC Car Launcher and I really enjoy it! There are a few things I'm trying to figure out...

My vehicle (Transit Connect Electric) doesn't use OBD2 standard PIDs so I have a CAN-dbc file that I have working with Torque to read different things from the CAN-bus. I would like to get this info included on my home screen as a widget in the same style as FCC widgets but can't get it to work in a good way. If I add a Torque widget the style will be completely off and it doesn't allow me to add my custom CAN-signals as widgets.

Is there any other widget out there that will take values from Torque and display them in a style that is compatible with FCC looks?

I also tried the FCC OBD-widget and that didn't work since my vehicle isn't OBD2 compliant and I use a USB-OBD interface. After trying this, every time I start the head unit I get a message that OBD widget can't connect to OBD adapter even after I removed the widget from home screen. Is there a way to deactivate this?

Thanks for a great launcher!

Are new updates to FCC not being posted here anymore? Are they beta channel only?
[Android Head-Units] seb21:
Hi.

I can't make backup. Google Drive and SD card are not working.

Google Drive backup error message want me manually delete FCC backup folder but I don't have it.

The same problem occurs on three different devices, all android 10.

I have latest available in Play Store version installed, of course premium.

Is there any solution to this problem?
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Assign to the Beta channel in playstore, or just look some pages back, where SpeedFire posted a beta.
[Android Head-Units] seb21:
Now it is working. Thanks.
[Android Head-Units] Magget:
After some more investigation I found that the FCC OBD widget has an option for custom CAN data but I can't find any settings for custom channels or set it up to work with my USB-OBD reader. Maybe I need to go to a BT reader?

Does anyone have experience on setting up the FCC OBD widget to work with custom CAN channels?

In parallel I'm working on a theme for Torque to fit with the FCC look. Can anyone give me the FCC font used in other FCC widgets to use for my FCC style Torque theme?
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Just have a look in the settings of Fcc. There you can find the current used font.

By the way...

OBD should not be used all the time. This is a diagnostic connector and is not for every day use. A failure of the OBD connector can damage your ECM... and I think this is nothing you want to have.
[Android Head-Units] Magget:
Thanks! I'll have a look there.

Thanks for the warning! I have worked in the automotive industry for the last ten years and I'm well aware of what I'm doing but I agree it's not for everyone to play around with. I just use the OBD outlet to gain easy access to the vehicle CAN-bus without cutting any wires. If there was a better adapter with only CAN-HI and CAN-LOW input that can be connected to my head unit please let me know! For experimental use and CAN-cracking I use a Kvaser Leaf Light but they are a bit expensive and I don't think it's compatible with Android and Torque Pro.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
It´s quite difficult. As long as the wanted information are not sent on the same CAN as your infotainment is running.... that´s the reason you mostly just get clamp 30, SWC, RVC and some other comfort information out of these boxes... just because the others are not available in this Comfort CAN.

Yes, I also have 2 USB/WiFi dongles with different OEM hard/software around as I need it for my profession to code vehicles.

I also have a cheapo BT dongle in my own car laying around to use it if I need it, but I would never connect that to my head unit. I just need it if there is an issue and from time to time to check error messages... but this is nothing to be used to show data just for interest. That is not what these dongles are meant for.

If you really want to find out which information are sent via the Comfort CAN, you need to use a CAN sniffer and then splice in some hardware (Arduino) to translate these information. There is nothing in the market doing this out of the box.
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
I haven't posted in a while simply because I don't want to be moaning all the time. Hard work is invested in this app and constant moaning is not helpful to anyone. However.. Can I ask the following. I signed in to the PS. Clicked on become a tester. I went to the HU and looked for any mechanism for update. I cannot see one. However I did notice the version number is 3509v3. I thought I was on beta something. Anyway. I figured maybe the app had updated on its own. Everything works accept the when the headlights come on, except this time the issue was different. No longer did the player widget change from album art to a sat logo but all hell broke loose. I captured the log and two screen images. I hope there is data in there that can sort this. Also my map flashes every 90 seconds or so but seems random.

Before.

I don´t have the light issue, because I don´t use the CAN related switching. Instead I use the auto-dim functionality in Fcc. I don´t know if you are able to use it in your car, but I hate it if the unit switches to night mode only because I drive under a bridge, or just because I switch on my lights due to rainy weather or similar.

The changing of buttons is similar happen on my unit. Hopefully @SpeedFire- will find some time to have a look at it.

btw: I am using now the 3.510
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Hi @rigattoni, I didn't notice that there's a new version. The latest beta on Play store is 3.509 from April 26th and IIRC the latest test version on this thread is 3.509_v3 from May 14th, which I'm currently using. Did I overlook something?
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
hmmm... good question, but as you can see:

I downloaded it from the other forum in Russia... Version 3.510 mit NashStore 16.05.22

View attachment 5633105
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Hmmm... This makes me wonder why @SpeedFire- doesn't it post here, because XDA always was his main platform to post test versions and for exchange with his users and testers. I'm pretty sure that he still has access to XDA, because there are also other Russian devs still around.

@SpeedFire- Could you please give us a short update about this?
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Well, it doesn´t change anything in the behavior with the button changes. So I don´t know if this version has any difference as the market place for Russians.
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
I agree. I haven't had my beta update yet. Been two days now, but it does say it might take a while. Earlier today I opened the TPMS app, then returned to the home screen and had giant text. When I get giant text all my buttons which are simply graphics with a blank overlay, don't work as the actual button is elsewhere. If the option to pull down from the top and choose reboot didn't exist I would be totally stuffed at least four times a day. I really enjoy the layout I have now and it is only possible with FCC, which is great, but it is so temperamental now. I am in for the long haul as it is the best for my needs and is a superb piece of coding when its behaving. I understand that writing for different headunits must throw a box of spanners in the mix and we must all be grateful that @SpeedFire- makes this stuff for us. The only issue I get is giant text or the player widget showing a giant sat logo. This can be triggered by general use but most commonly 95% by the headlights. The map flashing is not an issue but a distraction.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Just to mention:

If you used an earlier backup that could be the reason for these issues.

At least I did that...

I removed yesterday all buttons and widgets which are having this misbehavior. I observed that this happened just for 2 buttons and 2 widgets.

Did not change anything else, did not install anything additional or updated anything.

I rebooted the system and created these buttons new, and grabbed the misbehaving widgets again. What should I say:

As my unit is on the bench beside my working place, I rebooted the unit now a good dozen times now and the buttons keep clean. I am not able to reproduce these issues. Don´t know why, but as far as I remember this issue was introduced with the new fonts... but I am not really 100% sure...

May be something you should try too, if you used a backup from an earlier version.

Still something which needs to get analyzed to find the reason for this misbehavior.

I have my grid 6x7

And will I have like 4 or 5 obd information it takes so much room on the screen. The same thing is with the trip data.

Is it possible to make it like you have done in the player ? Where you can choose what you whant to see for data? So it doesn't need so much room?

In a simple list view?

Not sure how to do a logcat but I found today that if I use tasker to query the dab+ broadcast intent. The info disappears on some stations but stays present on other stations. I guess it's an issue with the dab+ app rather than the FCC widget
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
Please look at page 59 of this topic how to make a logcat. I think it's good to make also a logcat to see if there are other problems.
[Android Head-Units] pa.ko:
It is nice idea to have single trip info widget with options to show / hide particular data. I think even for performance it is better to have one large widget than several small ones. They take more time and resources to update/redraw etc.

But there is a quick solution for you: you can set your grid to have more horizontal and or vertical cells. For example 12x14 will give you better control on widget size and position.
