It seems that Google has finally approved the beta version (3.507) on the beta channel in Play Store. So you can update from Play Store if you're a beta tester.

Sign up to beta channel: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/ru.speedfire.flycontrolcenter
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
The limitation seems to be the availability in the map data. Depends on the road class and unfortunately the country you are located.

If the google map does not contain the speed limit, the dash is shown. It has nothing to do with Fcc.

Regarding the Google Drive backups:

Please have a look at the data structure in Google drive. Someone (SpeedFire-) explained it in this thread already.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Yes I received update via Play Store
[Android Head-Units] ivan69_mi:
I'm using the regular version from Play Store, haven't tried yet the beta/test ones... I'll give them a chance

At the moment, I've switched the map from Google Maps to Yandex and the speed limits are working now (but they appears incorrect, 90Kmh on all roads... have to try on highway)

Regarding Google Drive structure, I've found some messages explaining the SD structure but not the Google Drive one, by the way no folders are created on Drive when I press Backup, I just get the error previously attached

Google Drive is working correctly with the app installed on the HU, I can browse/open the files&folders with no issues

I guess I've to try the latest test versions... meanwhile thanks!
[Android Head-Units] kill_one:
what's new in this version compared to the 3.501 test10?
[Android Head-Units] ivan69_mi:
Well... I've just updated to the beta version from PlayStore, and finally the Google Drive backup worked fine (or at least FCC displayed the message "Backup Complete")... but checking my Google drive from a PC I cannot see any new subfolder or file :(

Where it's supposed to be stored the backup file?

Hi @SpeedFire-

Thank you for your great effort in developing this wonderful app

I have a request from you to add waze navigation app to the navigation applications

Are stm32 head units supported?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Now backups are saved to the "hidden" Apps folder of Google Drive (it cannot be seen manually as far as I know, only from the app itself). This is because of a new restriction of Google. They prohibited to save files to Google Drive in a regular form.

@SpeedFire-

I´m running into a strange behavior with the 3.508.

For any reason I get the number of available sat in the player widget, but only in the primary text. If I switch in the app (Radiator) the position of title and station, I also get this issue. If I pause the player it looks okay and if I resume playing the primary text switch again to the satellites in use.

What happened here?

May be additional information:

New Klyde unit with:

PX6

Android 10

MCU: CSM4_D_*** (really similar to CSN2, Loudness and auto-brightness is working perfect)

There is a crash visible in the attached log file, but this is somethig different. I am trying to fix a damn behavior with the system app.

Brightness Widget is disappearing again from the home skin screen. It's there but hidden, had to remove and re-add it. It only showed up once I clicked into it. After reboot it's gone again until manually clicking in the area where it's hidden.

Hi. thank you in advance for the best launcher and furnace I have from the developer. I have a special request. Would it be possible to make the lines (in the picture) green to match the backlight of my car? I would be very grateful.View attachment 5586597
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Strange... I still use the radio on my bench and after resetting the unit, reinstalling the Test9 and updated to the Beta on Google (Still in the testing phase with this unit and firmware... will get a new firmware hopefully this week) I can not reproduce this issue anymore.

So may be related to the crappy firmware I am fighting with.

For luck I have good contact to Klyde, so they accepted my bug reports and will provide a fixed one.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
@SpeedFire-

One change request from my side.

During testing I often have to restart Fcc and always the Autostart functionality is called.

May be a possibility to reduce the Autostart options only on start up, not on restart by the restart button?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
You can do this.

Long click on an empty space - Skins - (select this skin) - Change color
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Is it on 3.508?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
You have several crashes in the log but all of them not related to the Fcc:

1) FATAL EXCEPTION Process: com.android.systemui

2) FATAL EXCEPTION Process: com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup

3) FATAL EXCEPTION Process: com.android.bluetooth

Something bad is happening with your device. Maybe firmware issues or something.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Yes thanks, SpeedFire-

For any reason this healed itself even with this annoying firmware issues I am running into. I just got the information that a new firmware is uploading with a fix for the issue with the systemUI. I hope I was able to explain the Chinese developer the needed fix.
[Android Head-Units] shdwkeeper:
I'm on the latest Test version
[Android Head-Units] MrRamzes5:
Love the launcher!

Are you planning to add more vertical skins? Like with controls/icons on bottom half and map on top etc.?
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
You can create your own skin with your own buttons and features visible on your homescreen. That´s the same I always do with Fcc, because I like my own style and be flexible in changing things.
[Android Head-Units] MrRamzes5:
It would be nice to have some presets tho :)

Hi, in the past i use splitscreen with Googlemaps, now i hat the problem if i like to use it the picture of navigation is only 10% from screen same as wezle navigation.

If i like to use googlemaps in the minimap and include the API from the Cloud console from google it is not working.

Wezel navigation works but don´t in the minimap, but i like to use the minimap to had parallel my shortcut to close trafficflash addon (blitzer.de) the close button i had built with tasker.

Now i like to know, can i use tomtom in the minimap , and is it free or can i use a free tomtom version ?

Thanks a lot for useful comments!

Greetings in the group
[Android Head-Units] Blackwatch:
This might be a daft question, but could I install this on my phone, set it up how I like it then save a file to google drive then drop it on to the HU.....just saves me sitting in the van for hours setting it up lol
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Well.. You can set it up partially but not completely, because you need to set the widgets to the existing apps and settings of your head unit.

This is exactly the reason I always set up my head units at a power supply in my office. Then you have directly the right settings and apps installed and configured as you want.

Second reason is, that you phone might have another screen resolution and it can look different as later in the car.

If you take care of the differences and do some after-work in the car (which also can take some time) then you can use the phone and store it in Google, and then import the settings in the car.... but remember... different widgets, different functionality different missing apps on your phone. Can be tricky to get this working in detail.

I would get it out of the car, connect it to a power supply and do it at home on the desk. Makes life easier.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
First things first:

TomTom can not be used in the minimap and is whether free nor there is a free version.

Wezel navigation... never heard anything about that.

Google Maps can be used in the minimap and some others too. If you look into the settings of the minimap, the supported navigation software are visible there as far as I remember. You need to have the right API from Google to get it working.

Don't forget to enable Maps API and Directions API in your Google Cloud Console.
[Android Head-Units] megacayman:
Thanks a lot.

Now i think i forgot one / two.

Can you Help me which i forgot, which APIs are you activated that i think your Googlemaps widget run well

Maps sdk?

Distance matrix API?

.....

View attachment 5593323

Thanks a lot sir ☺️☺️
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Sorry someone else needs to answer this question as I don´t use Google Maps in Fcc, but I think it needs to be the Maps embed API
[Android Head-Units] megacayman:
What Navigation Tool do you use for the widget? (include over the Option) perhaps is it a idear for me to use
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
I don´t use the widget for navigation.
[Android Head-Units] okij:
@SpeedFire-: I hope that you are well. :)

As you already told me, you were able reproduce this issue when using YT Music.

Did you have a closer look into it in the meanwhile to be able to fix it?
[Android Head-Units] Сергей87:
Hello everyone. Installed FC Car Launcher On the Teyes cc3 device. Faced with problems:

1. It is impossible to adjust the steering wheel buttons, the application simply does not see the clicks.

2. The problem when saving/restoring files from both the device memory and Google drive. When restoring from the device's memory, the application simply crashes with an error or restarts. Can someone help?
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Hi,

Information is missing which Fcc version you are using. The version available here in the thread (https://xdaforums.com/t/fcc-car-launcher-official-thread.3639659/post-86644883) or the Fcc version ion the Beta-channel at Google are working fine in respect to saving/restoring.

Regarding the steering wheel buttons:

We need to divide this point into 2 different stories.

If you are driving a car which sends the commands from the buttons via CAN-Bus, there is no possibility to change the buttons. In this case you need to choose the right car and CAN-Adapter in the radio itself and the standard is available

If your steering wheel buttons are working on resistance you should also be able to choose the button settings in the related app or settings menu on your device.

Not all different units are fully supported in Fcc. There are too much different units.

So giving some more information about your unit would be mandatory.

What is needed:

MCU version

Firmware version

Used car with year

CAN-Adapter installed?
[Android Head-Units] Сергей87:
Downloaded the app from the link above. The problem is solved with saving/restoring, but the problem with the steering wheel buttons is not solved. The application does not see button presses. MCU version: 2021.01.11 16:28:44 TZY_53_L6315_G23P48F64_V:1.0. Firmware Version: APP 1280*720 2022-01-15 09 :49:07. Car: Toyota Corolla e150 2008, no CAN-Adapter.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
So seems that your unit is not supported fully by Fcc.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
It seems that you just miss the connectors for getting the buttons working.

Example: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/38063455...&brand=Connects2&_trksid=p2047675.c101224.m-1
[Android Head-Units] shdwkeeper:
Are you guys not releasing test version anymore and just using the Beta versions going forward?
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
You should really take your time to read in the thread.

I already posted today the link to the posting from SpeedFire- where he provided the latest test version. https://xdaforums.com/t/fcc-car-launcher-official-thread.3639659/post-86644883

Just 3 pages back in this thread.
[Android Head-Units] shdwkeeper:
I do read the thread, I'm on Test 11, as I am only reading new threads and havent seen anything updated since test11 and thought I missed something. Thanks
[Android Head-Units] Сергей87:
The buttons are regular and they work with the device, they are configured through a regular application. It is the FC itself that does not see the button presses when I try to reconfigure the buttons.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
So this information is the point you are running into.
[Android Head-Units] Сергей87:
What can be done in this situation?
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
View attachment 5599921

Fcc Settings menu

System

Advanced settings

Select your device type.

Choose SPRD and test again.

This is something you can test. If it works, fine, otherwise the unit is not fully integrated.

Hi SpeedFire! Translated by Yandex.Translate

Since you haven't been on 4PDA lately, I'm writing here according to version 3.509. Teyes SPRO+ 6/128

1. The minimap disappears (turns gray) after launching another application and then collapsing it, for example, launching Yandex Music from the player widget. It is treated by restarting the launcher

2. The "Restart Launcher" button turns off the launcher, but it does not start again. I have to run it manually

3. Traffic jams on the Yandex minimap, only in the Yandex Maps style (the problem has been since the old version), when choosing the Yandex Navigator style, black bars

4. People are interested in how to buy your launcher in Russia, due to the deactivation of payment in Google

5. Here you can not answer - immediately to 4PDA
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
If they stopped payment in Google that would be a real pain for all hardworking developers in Russia, especially for @SpeedFire-

We need to find a workaround for this if there is any.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Yes, there are several issues with payments:

- Google stopped payments to my main bank account. I entered the alternative bank account which was accepted but no payment has been done so far.

- I will add a Huawei AppGallery support (with a slightly lower price) for those who want to pay outside the Google universe. However the documentation is not perfect for in-app purchases there. This may take some time.
[Android Head-Units] kolega16:
@SpeedFire- will you look at the bugs?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Yes. A little bit later. I have a busy time at my main work until the end of April.
[Android Head-Units] nihonjin:
I have only recently stumbled across this great car launcher and love how customisable it is.

2 issues I have come across that I can't seem to fix if anyone has any suggestions or ideas what to do?

1) the Speed limit is no longer showing ie widget is empty and the colour of the speedometer does not change when over.

2) the street names don't display or update. It seems to be stuck on one street name and never changes.

Lastly not sure if there is a setting but is it possible to have the trip computer widget showing distance travelled, time and time parked to auto reset every time the system starts that way each new car trip it auto starts from 0 and tracks that trip.

Thanks.
[Android Head-Units] kolega16:
I do not know which maps you use, but, for example, to work with speed limits and display street names on the Yandex minimap, you need an SDK key. I'm new here and I haven't seen this instruction here, but it is, very detailed, on the 4PDA forum (in Russian)
[Android Head-Units] nihonjin:
I am using the google interface for mini map.
[Android Head-Units] molyneux:
Hi, is it possible to configure an app to use a defined sub-section of the full display when launched, much in the same way that minimaps uses a sub-section of the display?

Thanks, MD.
[Android Head-Units] ivan69_mi:
HI All

I've used for a while the beta version from playstore, but I've had many issues like abnormal closures, songs interrupted, interface not responsive and so on, so I turned back to the standard version from playstore

I've verified another issue: the volume of the music is not "stable" : sometimes I have to play music with volume at 40, sometimes at 50/55 to have the same level of sound, sometimes the volume decrease in the middle of a song while it's still set to the same value (i.e. 50)

If I use a different launcher (I'm using nova launcher right now) it doesn't happen

My car is a Kia ProCeed 2022 and FCC is installed on Applepie mini 2.0 (AI-996N) from Exploter

Is there any suggestion?
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
@SpeedFire- where are you ?, we need you here in XDA :)
[Android Head-Units] nihonjin:
Further to my issues outlined above with minimap and speed limit now updating and displaying. When 8 uninstall and reinstall or clear storage and start the launcher as new the mini map will work and display street name and speed limit for about 15min and then stop updating.

Speedometer works consistently ok and map location is updating and working ok just not updating map name and speed limit. Any suggestions of what setting may need checking?
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
I have had the mini map flashing every minute again. Constantly for the last three weeks or so. Also it took four restores to get my widgets back as they were. The clock never resized correctly. The player widget is still plagued by the headlight issue. Switch lights on manually or auto and bingo album art replaced with satellite logo, every time. I have mentioned these issues in a while as I don't want to been seen to keep moaning.

@SpeedFire-

hi there

i´ve used a long time the version 3.442_test71 and it worked great.

few days ago, i´ve updated with playstore to the actual beta version (unfortunaley i don´t know exactly which version at the moment) and now i have an issue with radio station covers and track/artist name.

-> The radio station picture will not be updated if i change the radio station (with DAB-Z -> last version) and the track/artist name will not be shown.

I use the integrated widget in 3 different areas

area 1 (yellow marked) is only for track/artist/ablum names

area 2 (green) is for shortcuts to the players with player buttons

area 3 (orange) is for radio station cover/picture and album covers

i have deleted the widgets and arranged it new, but without success.

is this known to related with FCC and DAB-Z ?

edit:

i think, i could sort it out

i had to choose any cover masking! (i think i don´t had to choose it before)

then it will be shown correctly and it will also be updated if i change the radio station...

Edit 2: ok, it was an short story. Now it will not more change the station picture... 🤔😐
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Hi @SpeedFire-, today I noticed a new issue of the new Google Maps renderer that wasn't present before:

In 3D view the map is now cut off at the top of the Minimap, please see attached screenshots. It seems like the map tiles near the horizon are missing. The network speed of my mobile data is fine, so this cannot be the reason.

Is it possible that Google changed something at the server side, so that you need to update the new Google Maps renderer to a newer version? Could you please check if you can reproduce this issue and have a look? Thanks. :)
[Android Head-Units] pdedinski:
I am using FCC Launcher on my recently acquired PX5 headunit in my car.. Experimenting with few different launchers, but so far FCC has the most useful features of all, albeit not the prettiest, but currently is the weapon of choice for the task. However there are a few glitches that are a bit annoying and I don't know if I am not doing something right, so if anybody could help I will be grateful. I cannot quite get what MCU/ROM my unit has as the strings in the About screen doesn't ring any bell for me

1. Is there any way I can change the font of the launcher home screen or for the individual widgets? Changing the font face from the display menu, only changes the font in the settings part, does not affect the text on the widgets at the home screen. I would like to use something prettier than the vanilla font, to make it more pleasing for the eye.

2. While music is playing (player is PowerAmp), the default media control widget (with three buttons) display PREVIOUS PAUSE NEXT .. If I hit pause, it changes to PLAY icon.. so far so good.. However if I hit the hardware PLAY/PAUSE button on the unit, the playback stops, but the PAUSE button on the screen does not change to PLAY.. If i want to resume playback via buttons on the screen I have to press it twice. For some reason the media control widget does not track the player status, or not 'in sync' with the hardware buttons.

3. Map widget for some reason does not refresh properly.. if I launch it usually the process should be showing some 'low res' image until data load up and then display it properly. This also applies for the zoom levels. However it stays for a very long time in this 'low res' mode, unless I close and open again or just switch the home screen if I have more than one and then go back to the one containing the map widget
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
This seems to be one restriction in PowerAmp. There are some more but at least this is annoying.

You should switch to another player like BlackPlayer. Tis is the one I use and there is no problem to pause and unpause with the buttons on your steering wheel/ hardware buttons.
[Android Head-Units] pdedinski:
Unfortunately BlackPlayer does not support ReplayGain as far as I know, which is a big 'must have' for me, as my music collection is quite big and volume differences are quite extreme in some cases, when listening on SHUFFLE. However the AGAMA and CarWebGuru launchers used to handle button states quite well. Keep in mind I am not talking about pausing and unpausing with the hardware buttons. That works without issue.. I am talking about the PAUSE/PLAY status of the FCC music controls which does not change when using hardware buttons.
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Try GoneMAD Music Player. It's working fine here and does support ReplayGain.
[Android Head-Units] tim228:
Is there any way to add app shortcuts into the launcher, in order to use the default radio, BT, DPS ect built into my device I need to use an Activity manager as they are all aspects of the same app on my 825x pro Xtrons unit.

When I try the device reports that FCC does not allow pinning shortcuts.

@SpeedFire- I found an issue in the weather widget in 3.509.

After rebooting the unit, I always get the wrong icon for the current weather.

I already removed the widget and placed it again.

View attachment 5613615

Healing is to click on it through the different views and then sometimes it is correct. It´s not always the same icon which is shown.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
New test version attached:

- Added support for 'pinned shortcuts' which adds support for apps like the Shortcut Maker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rk.android.app.shortcutmaker&hl=ru&gl=US

- An option to launch an app in a split screen mode is returned to the Icon Widget settings (I don't remember why I removed it when switching to the new settings menu).

- All libraries are updated to the lates versions so if the issue with the google map renderer still exists this may be related to something else.
