[MENTION=5022255]whitewolf8111[/MENTION]: Thanks for the detailled feedback, I'm glad that it worked out so well! :highfive:

It's good to know that EdXposed is working on [MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION] Mod v4. I was 99% sure that it would, but so far I hadn't read of anyone trying and using it. Please share this information on the Hal9k Mod v4 thread and/or the two EdXposed threads that I linked you here too, so other users can benefit from it.

BTW, you can use Magisk to modify (i.e. replace) system files. For an example, have a look at the module that I posted here, which replaces system/etc/flashled_calc_parameters.cfg by my own edited version. Or have a look here, where I posted a Magisk module which replaces the Android boot animation on my Xperia Z3c phone. Just be cautious and sure what you do, since unfortunately we don't have a custom recovery like TWRP on our head units, so we cannot manually uninstall or deactivate a Magisk module if it's faulty and prevents the system from booting.
[Android Head-Units] Ericang:
yes i tried

it does not has the resume funtion.
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
Done, done and done :D Glad to post there, the least I can do for other peoples hard work on these great mods :good:

Hmmmm, VERY interesting! I'll read up on this and see what I can do. I'll report back and hopefully not have bricked my unit :silly:

Thank you for all your help! :highfive:
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Thanks for posting on these threads and sharing your knowledge! :)

You could first try to make a module that changes a non-critical file, e.g. a ttf-file in /system/fonts. You can check via a root file explorer if the new file is in place. If this works, you can try to change a more critical system file.

It's also possible to add or change values in build.prop via a Magisk module, if that's useful for you. I haven't tried it yet, but you could e.g. have a look at the module in this thread.

You're welcome! :)
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
Thank you for this! However, it seems a little too risky with my limited know how... It looks like making a Magisk module involves a little coding knowledge, which I have none. I can do some very basic things with some kind of direction, but the directions in this link and mostly anywhere else, are rather limited.

The only thing I would really want it for is disabling the Filesystem check for instant SD card after wake, but even that is rather minor.

While looking around for info about the Magisk module, I ran into a post with someone asking how to make their APK a system app, and that got me thinking, what if I made FCC a system app??? Would there be any benefits? Would it run even smoother (Running great BTW [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] )?

Has anyone figured out how to simply delete one of the pages yet? I can only rearrange and add pages.

Pretty sure this has always been an issue.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Been a long time since I deleted a page, but back when I did, I seem to recall if you delete everything on the page (and/or) move them to another page, when the page is empty, it will just delete itself. I do not believe you can have a EMPTY page.
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
Thank you. I did try that already and I do remember that working for some pages... But It's one of the pages with a map, and even if I hide the map, it still won't go away.

Hopefully [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] might be able to add a fix for that.

Yes, I hope everyone is doing okay too. I haven't heard much about Russia either, but I just happen to see THIS article and sounds like things are set to get worse over there.

My thoughts and wishes to everyone around the world as we all deal with this craziness!
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
I have not done that much editing of FCC for a few months -- pretty much got it to where I am want it to be, but I do recall sometimes when editing, that widgets remained on a page but do not show. I found that often re-starting FCC, fixed that issue, made them visible again, and then I was able to remove them.

Also, since widgets cannot be superimposed on one another, you can test for a hidden widget by trying to put another widget on the page, and scaling it to fill the page. If you can do this, then there should be no other hidden widgets on that page.
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
Thank you. I went to try and delete all the widgets again and there was an extra "Show Map" widget behind the map, that didn't show up last time. Deleted it and the page disappeared finally. :good:

Still would be nice to have an option to delete the entire page at once, instead of having to delete each widget individually, but that's rather minor.

Yep. Here in India too there's a 21 days curfew. So zero driving except I've learned to drive the car in the parking :) Just Idling the car some 20-30 mins once in a week so that the battery holds the juice until the next run.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Hello, everyone!

Yes I'm OKAY. Moved to a distant working on my main job. We also have several social distancing rules implement here as in most parts of the world.

I'm currently spending slightly less time on the Launcher. The major idea is to redraw most of the graphic assets from Raster (.png) to Vector (.svg).

My first tests show a significantly less RAM usage in this case.

I am not too experienced in Vector graphics, so a learning curve effect is more than applicable here. I spend a lot of time to understand basics, but I expect good results in the future (including perfect scalability for all screen resolutions).
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
Glad to see you're doing okay. Hope you and everyone keep safe :)

Can't wait for the new improvements to arrive. Sounds cool! :good:

v3.362v2 is running great! I would say it could probably be pushed to the Beta channel on the AppStore, if not done so already.
[Android Head-Units] yuukiw:
maybe ymusic?
[Android Head-Units] liamstears:
Speedfire - I am buying a new android head unit, it is an Ownice K6, also known as the C960, do you currently support this model? If not can we get support for this model? I would be happy to share files with you to aid with support...

It uses SC9853i processor on Android 8.1
[Android Head-Units] Smess1210:
Minimaps is very unstable with v3.362 current play store beta.

Show/hide map command requires restart of launcher to function correctly.

I have maps of various sizes on each screen/page, the launcher randomly selects 1 of them for each screen/page....

I rolled back to an earlier version posted above and all went back to normal after several Google drive recovery attempts.
[Android Head-Units] SoberXDA:
If I may suggest, please spend this time on rewriting the player widget. I think it is the main/mostly used feature of the launcher, and it has never been working fully stable/predictable.

Now I've limited it to one player only (spotify) and run other players (youtube vanced, music player) separately...
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
The Player widget is BY FAR the best it has ever been, and an enormous improvement on what it was a year ago.

While it may be the most used feature, I believe it is probably the most complex widget, especially as it has to work with so many players, some of which are not written that well, while other are regularly updated & are therefore changing.

Speedfire- has put an enormous amount work into this widget, and while it might still have a few bugs, I can fully understand that he might want a BREAK from it, and tackle something else.
[Android Head-Units] Noobtrube:
Can you have a mini window of Google maps going as a widget?
[Android Head-Units] SoberXDA:
Maybe at least consider to add an option of "passive mode" of the widget. In this mode the widget would never start any players nor switch between them. Just display the information about currently running player once it is run manually as a separate app. Maybe this would simplify the task enough...

Does anyone else have a problem with fcc starting dab-z at the moment after sleep and cold boot?

For me sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. When it doesn’t work I get a message saying USB NOT DETECTED. However if I manually select dab-z then it works fine.

I sent zoulou a logcat which I did through his app and he says that fcc is trying to start dab-z too early therefore it comes back with that message.

I’m using a px5 with Hal9k Android 8 and I think I’m on the latest play store beta of fcc.
[Android Head-Units] SharkysRacing:
Good to hear you are doing well Speedfire. XDA would be lost without you. I may send you a PM next few days regarding FCC
[Android Head-Units] swyner:
Ya or a mini window that is available on top of any other screen using Android. That would be awesome for Phoenix Tesla screen users.
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Yes, I also observed this, but there's a setting in FCC to set the delay after which the last used player is started again. Try with higher values (10 seconds or more).
[Android Head-Units] ab1702:
Yes I found that earlier after zoulou told me what the problem was.

It hasn’t always been like this though, it did work fine until I updated fcc, but I can’t remember what version I was using before.

I’ve also noticed that sometimes from a cold boot it doesn’t autostart dab-z either of it was used last, I thing happens.

On RockChip PX30 I have 3 very annoying bugs. Everything shown in the movies.

1. If I give the application a radio in the background to the autostart, the application starts, but after a while the radio stops playing.

2. When I give applications to the autostart, they are launched several times and without a set time interval ...

3. Sometimes it happens that the application will get stuck and you rarely can switch the player, because it returns to the previous one ...

Hi guys. Just installed my Dasaita head unit a couple of days ago and found this launcher. Really like it and will be buying the upgraded version in the coming days. I use Amazon Music to stream my music via a 4G dongle. However, the album artwork in the player is very low quality, when in the Amazon Music app if you click on the current song being played a much larger, better quality album art pops up. Does anyone know if it's possible to get this artwork to display in the player?
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Depends on what player widget style you are using, and how you have scaled the widget.

Maybe you can post a picture of how you have your screen setup, and what you are seeing, that you are not satisfied with.

For example, I have my HOME page set up as shown in the attached Screen shot, and the Artwork display is more than adequate.

My last atemt.... With the volume widget

1 press vol down first time after boot . Is ok

2 press vol up first time after boot 1 press give me +4 in volume up

3 than push volume down the volume goes again + 4 after 1 push

I have a 1000 watt amp in the car I almost blown my speakers. It's really enjoyed

This issue comes in the last 2 beta versions

If someone point me to the right logger I can make a log .
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Sorry for that.

I hope this beta will fix this: beta-2.443

(also sent to play market)
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
Not test the latest beta yet I,l will report soon.

Is it possible the have custom volume icons and media icons ?

Maybe a better place for the screen light button is the right menu panel .

The mini map update works good.
[Android Head-Units] jun81:
[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

[Android Head-Units] bossman4:
I have been using Amazon Music Unlimited (downloaded) in the FCC player for several months. Due the pecularity of the way Amazon saves its artwork, the QuickPlayer in the FCC does not always pick up on the change in artwork. The quality of the artwork that does show up in the FCC QuickPlayer is as good as the other players that FCC does support. I really don't see a difference. If you search in this FCC thread for "Amazon Music", you will see the continuing dialogue of using this powerful application. Especially in the download mode, you can have a significant library of music for the road that can be constantly changing or staying in your comfort zone.
[Android Head-Units] Slim_Boy_Fat:
Not sure I'm allowed to post links as this is only my second post. Here's a link with an extra h on the front which will take you to a screen shot from my Huawei tablet running FCC that I use to test things out as it has the same size screen as my HU.

hhttps://i.imgur.com/lK6wK4B.jpg
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Great music so far.... ;)

It looks like that on my unit:

Edit:

Your tablet may have the same size, but probably not the same screen resolution. So visibility should not be the same as on your unit.
[Android Head-Units] Slim_Boy_Fat:
Thanks for your reply. My tablet has a higher resolution than my HU at 1920x1200. However, the album art looks exactly the same on both devices. What is the source of music in your image?
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
The album art is the online picture from Poweramp.

Seems that the resolution of the provided pictures on your player is crap.
[Android Head-Units] Slim_Boy_Fat:
Yeah it is. However, Amazon music has two levels of quality for the album art. The FCC player chooses the lowest quality one. My original question was, is it possible to have it choose the better quality one?
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Agreed .. look really BAD !!! looks like it is trying to display s very low resolution Thumbnail of the correct image ?
[Android Head-Units] Slim_Boy_Fat:
That's exactly what it's doing. When a song is playing in the Amazon music app there is a small player at the bottom of the screen with a small album art thumbnail. If you click on the player at the bottom of the screen it changes to full screen and displays a much bigger higher resolution album art. Do you know if it's possible to select which copy of the album art the FCC player chooses?
[Android Head-Units] bossman4:
Various players use image files for album covers.

There are programs and databases of higher resolution images of albums scattered on the internet, but you have to identify them and replace the previously downloaded image with the higher resolutions image. It is somewhat automated with these programs, but still takes awhile to convert your FLAC or MP3s

Do search on converting album art on FLAC files.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
I am GUESSING that in fact you are using Amazon Music WIdget on your FCC page, and not the FCC "Player Widget" that can be scaled to produce a decent size image, and gets the Image from the actual Amazon Player, which should be of good resolution. ??

The Amazon widget is designed to be a small widget , typically on a Cellphone screen, and only take up a small area of the screen, so the image is Small/low resolution, that look horrible if you scale it up to any size on your head unit.

If I select Amazon Music as a Quickplayer to be displayed in the "FCC Player widget", it displays a good, high resolution image
[Android Head-Units] Slim_Boy_Fat:
No I'm using the standard FCC player widget. It must be taking the small thumbnail album art from Amazon Music rather than the larger better quality version. I'd be interested to know if it's possible to select which version it takes.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
This is the quality I get when I select Amazon Music.. More than acceptable.

In Amazon Music setting, there is a settings for Download... this "may" alter the quality of the downloaded Artwork ?

I have mine set for maximum - both WiFi & Cell - does not use that much bandwidth.
[Android Head-Units] Slim_Boy_Fat:
That's the answer! So far I've just been streaming music to the tablet when I've been testing as that's what I plan to do with the head unit, as I have a 4G WiFi dongle attached to it. When I download the music to the tablet the album art is much higher quality. Looks like I may have to download all of my Amazon music if I want to have the good quality album art. Many thanks for working through it with me :good:
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Look at your 4G data Plan-- chances are the small amount of Data that represents the album art, is not going to make you exceed your limit, and even if it does and they throttle back your bandwidth, that reduced bandwidth will be more than sufficient to stream music + artworks.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
OK, so it looks like I'm ready to post some ALPHA VERSION with vector images:

FCC 3.362v6

This version is not for everyone. Skins may look different (as I tried to draw them in vector) and I still need to realize how to colorize them correctly.

The major purpose of this alpha is to get the feedback:

1) does this version use less RAM on your device?

2) does it work faster or slower?
