The new one (with the LAB tube icon), anyway I have the issue with both the OLD and the NEW player widget (playing with deezer (like spotify) music player)

I listen to musc 1 = it shows album-art 1

I forward to music 2 = it still shows the album-art 1 anyway

I forward to music 3 = it show the album-art 2

I forward to music 4 = it show the album-art 3

I rev to music 3 = it shows the album-art 4

I rev to music 2 = it show the album-art 3

..... always the album-art of the previous listened music

both OLD and NEW player widgets !
[Android Head-Units] ric69:
With standard player and new Hal9k v5 android 10, I have same problem and sometimes it's the good album art and wrong text id. No problem with spotify or radio.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Thanks. I've reproduced the issue on Deezer.

Please check this: fcclauncher-3.442_test41.apk
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Did the test, same behaviour, shall I clean the cache ?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Can you reproduce this issue on any other player?

I don't have a premium account in Deezer so I can't skip more than 6 tracks per day and therefore cannot test it properly.

I've just tested YouTube Music and it works fine for me.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Will try tomorrow with poweramp or another player and keep you informed ASAP !

Thanks SpeedFire !
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Some general app optimisations are made here: fcclauncher-3.442_test43.apk
[Android Head-Units] tonimontoia:
still the players do what they want, I select dab and the normal radio remains selected they do not change on px5 Android 10 ROM hal9k
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Ok I did the test (player widget) with Poweramp and the album-art is correcto for the music being played, the problem seems to appear only with deezer in my case !
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Deezer seems to send several album arts at once when track changes. I purchased deezer premium and hopefully fixed it. Please check: fcclauncher-3.442_test44.apk
[Android Head-Units] ric69:
With Malay android 9 standardplayer, it's crazy here.

album art doesn't show and text is correct only 1 time, after it does not update

Notification is correct with correct album art
[Android Head-Units] tonimontoia:
and always the same does not change player name
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
What version have you tested?
[Android Head-Units] ric69:
Test 43 and 44
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Ok, thanks. I will consider rewriting the part which analyses information in notifications.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
By the way, do you use new player widgets or the old ones?

The old widgets may not be updated properly in the latest test versions.
[Android Head-Units] ric69:
Like you said, I keep the old one and created a new one on another page. But no one is updated
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Did the test, thats OK with DEEZER, it works fine now (about album-art)

Have a question for you SpeedFire

Can you make the FCC TPMS plug-in start automatically as a background service ? I say that because when a TPMS widget is present it show nothing until you touch him to open the TPMS plug-in (I think that the TPMS plug-in should be loaded in background if at least one widget is present in the launcher)
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Tested now #43 with new created widgets for player on my Android10 unit.

Issues visible:

Song and artist widgets are not updating

Song and artist widgets show only 1 single line, even when second line is activated. (second line is shown)

I have 2 player widgets which only show 2 player names (4 in total). In previous versions only the currently playing player is marked as active. Now it shows in both widgets 1 activated player. I activated layout borders to visualize.

I switched back to #36 and the same screen looks like that:

[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Thank you for your report!

Is it only on DAB-Z player? Does it work for you on AIMP / PowerAmp or any other normal players?
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Talking about backup:

in test44:

backup to SD or GDrive works well

Restore from SD fails (unable to restore widgets)

Restore from GDrive seems to work taking the config file but fails restoring widgets

The layout is restores well but widgets appear like FCC icon with word "configuration" under icons

Clicking on icons, the config layout shows but the apps doesn't match at all

In my case I was unable to restore a config from SD or GDrive
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Sometimes you need to restore twice for everything to work correctly. Please try.

This is not perfect, I will look into this issue. But should work as a workaround for now.
[Android Head-Units] tonimontoia:
nothing works on my px5, no player is displayed, no player on change is displayed, but it has restored my backups, so it is not usable for me
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
I´ve tested the behavior with 4 different apps and can reproduce the issue with all of them. All of them are working without any issue in the former version.

Black Player

DAB-z

Radionator (a German online radio app)

FM radio

If you need trace logs, just give me a hint, I am able to provide them after I updated again. For now I would stay on the previous version.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I'll try to reproduce this on my setup in the coming days. Thanks.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Wait... my fault.

I just installed the #43 again and tested again on a new page.

So far no issues. I just mixed old and new ones as it seems.

But one thing should be changed:

If you use the new widget just for having buttons for quick players, you have to define 3 player, otherwise the place for the 3rd player is used in the widget.

My settings for these quick player buttons:

Show quick player buttons --> on

Auto-detect other players --> off

Quick player text size --> 20

Select quick player 1 --> DAB-z

Custom title --> DAB

Select quick player 2 --> Radionator

Custom title --> ONL

Select quick player 3 --> -

Custom title --> [empty]

The same for the 2nd quick player widget, just with other player and custom names.

Nothing else activated!

As you can see in the attached picture, the 3rd player consumes an empty field where it is not supposed to use one. I only use these 4 player, so there are 2 possibilities:

Expand the number of available player and expand in this case the blocked place on the widget

Remove a 2nd and 3rd player place in the widget if only 1 player has been chosed.

[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Thank you for additional tests and confirmation. Really appreciated.

Here is a new test version: fcclauncher-3.442_test46.apk

- Old player widgets are automatically migrated to the New player widgets.

- New player widgets previously added will disappear.

- Also fixed the issue found by you when quick player was not excluded
[Android Head-Units] ric69:
Test46 report:

After saving a backup (on SD card) Music player widgets disappeared everywhere I created them.

I want also to write again thank you for your great work. You're an awesome dev, it should be a ton and so many hours of work... respect and hats off Master

Edit : album art and text ID are perfectly working now with standard player 👌
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Nice!

Works for me as expected.

I just have a few points:

If you are in the settings of the player and chose Advanced, there is no possibility to close the advanced section.

Switching from one player to another one sometimes the album art switches back and forth for a short time --> Video: https://streamable.com/8f670a

As you told me some time ago, that it would not be possible to open my FM radio app, I really would appreciate to be able to just add some task to open it. As soon as I manually open FM, the album art shows the preset station logo, so I think we should find a way around... ;) The package name of the FM radio is: com.szchoiceway.radio. May be just adding the package name would fix that? :cowboy:

Edit:

The widget "Artist and track" does not work with pause/play, mute, Open player... in "App to open on click"

The widget type: "Square album art only" does not work with "App to open on click" with player options like "Open player", play/pause ect.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
I have exactly the same behaviour !

This must be said, BEST CAR LAUNCHER, BEST CAR LAUNCHER, that's said !
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Thanks a lot for rewriting the Player widget! It surely is the most complex widget, but also one of the most outstanding and important widgets of FCC Launcher, because it enables us to use different media players on a unified, user-customizable surface. So the time you put into developing and refining it is much appreciated! :cool:(y)

What I noticed and really like about the rewritten Player widget is:

When pressing on a button in the widget, now only this part is visually pressed down (animated) and not the whole widget.

The text scrolling is working much better than on the old Player widget and is not disturbed by the progress bar anymore.

I'd like to see an option to set the height of the progress bar. It was narrower before, which I liked better.

I didn't test the previous versions, because I'm currently on holiday.

I also noticed that opening the currently active player by pressing on the album art in the Player widget doesn't work in test46, also after re-configuring it to open the active player.

It would be great if you could fix this issue soon, because it's an important function which I often use.

Then there are some parts of the Compass widget settings in the Player widget settings, which is just a minor issue.

All in all, it's a really good progress! Thanks again and keep up the good work. :)
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Okij, I found a work-around for that.

If you open the settings for the album art and chose any other app there in "App to open on click" and switch it immediately back to "Open player", it should work.

Seems that this setting is not stored on the first try.

Edit:

That works on my unit only for the album art, unfortunately not for the other ones...
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
New test version: fcclauncher-3.442_test47.apk

Player Widget updated:

- Click actions on album art / track are restored

- Album Arts are updated differently (should not be flick between images).
[Android Head-Units] cx-8_mazda:
I use FCC Launcher.

The automatic scale of GoogleMap is very useful.

After I changed the version to test 36, the auto scale feature stopped working.

I tried uninstalling it as usual, but the same symptoms persist.

I'm thinking of doing a clean install.

Are there any other folders or files I should delete after uninstalling?
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
Hi @SpeedFire- , (and everyone) been a while! Hope everyone is doing well!

I've tested a few of the last beta's over the time, and mostly, everything seemed to be running pretty well.

But I just wiped everything and updated to Hal9k V5 ROM - Android 10, and installed the latest FCC test 47, but I'm having an issue with getting it to see that I have premium. And if I try to click on the upgrade arrow, it just pops up a window saying "Error: Something went wrong on our end. Please try again." And it never goes through, even after restarts of the head unit. Is there something I missing? Anyone else have this Issue?

*EDIT* Premium kicked through somehow finally. Below issue still persists though.

I also can't get it to restore my backup, with SD card or Google Drive (still had problems trying to get it to backup to Google Drive, before the wipe, on test 43, even after deleting and recreating the backup folder on Google Drive.)

Keeps saying: "Error while restoring the preferences" and I have to hit the cancel button, then the launcher restarts, says, setting up the widgets, but it's still the same.

Not sure if that has anything to do with it not seeing my premium or not.
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Thanks a lot, it's working now. :)

There's a wrong text in the progress bar settings ("Compass widget" instead of "gradient"). Don't know if it's just a wrongly assigned string in German language.

BTW, do you need some help with translations?

Currently I have two feature requests for the Player widget:

Since the progress bar isn't used by all players (e.g. MP3 players use it but Radio/DAB players don't use it), it would be great if we could enable the progress bar separately for player #1, #2 and #3.

Also it would be great if we could enable the text scrolling separately for player #1, #2 and #3. It's still interrupted (jumping back) when DAB-Z is playing (even when the text obviously isn't updated), so I would like to disable the text scrolling only for DAB-Z.

One small issue I noticed about the new Player widget is that the Play/Forward/Rewind buttons look a bit jittery, as if the graphics have too low resolution or if they are scaled without anti-aliasing. Please have a look after this.

Thanks and best regards.
[Android Head-Units] tonimontoia:
@speedfire hello, can you add a CPU temperature widget? thank you
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Works really great! (y)(y)(y)

@okij, most translations for German are from my side. ;)

I don´t think that there is a translation error, it´s the same visible as in English.

May be @SpeedFire- will raise a new translation request within the next few days.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Can I enroll to improve french translations ? (FR arrays / FR strings xml) ???
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Folks, the page to bring in your appreciated translations is stored here --> https://osd2jt2.oneskyapp.com/collaboration/project?id=317150

You need to sign in there and then you are able to translate the given strings into your language.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Did some (very little) mods to french

In a few days (when have time) will do the Portuguese (Portugal) translation (this is my native language) and Spanish too (second native language)
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
Tested t47 today. Player widget seems great. I would like to see a spacing option for the player titles. So I can move them to the left or right with reference to the edge.

Only been using it a few hours. I have had the System UI stopped working, three times and total freezing with no buttons responding but player still running, four times. Not run Logcat yet as I am working. HU point blank refused to connect to my access point today until I fully rebooted. First time that has happened. Don't think that is down to FCC though.

Question. Is FCC completely compatible with HAL v5? Have bought the new ROM but not installed yet.

Cheers
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
@SpeedFire- Just for information:

I created a little apk that launches itself on BOOT_COMPLETED

The app works fine when using FCC normal, but when using FCC Split Screen, my app doesn't see the BOOT_COMPLETED Android event

The source (if interested) is here --> Warning Start Message
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
@SpeedFire- I'm on a fresh install of Hal9k V5 Android 10 ROM @ default settings, and Test 47 @ default settings, FCC will crash and just go back to the Hal9k launcher when I try to add a player widget to a screen. Other FCC widgets seem to work fine though. I can use one of my backups, but they have the old widgets and most all of the widgets don't load properly.
[Android Head-Units] shdwkeeper:
Same problem with me. The skins that I load don't show any player info on them, no art work or player buttons.
[Android Head-Units] shdwkeeper:
Also, how do I delete old backups off SD card or Google drive through the launcher, I can't see the backups on Google drive to delete them.
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
Use a file browser and go to the root of your SD card and there should be a folder called FCCLauncherBackup, and your backups are inside the folder. Same with Google Drive, you can even use a web browser or the Google Drive App, and just look for the FCCLauncherBackup folder. With that said, I have a problem deleting stuff from my Google Drive, things that I delete, just never go away.

To get my FCC backups to Google Drive to work, I had to use a new Google account that hasn't had anything uploaded to Google Drive yet, and that finally worked for me.
[Android Head-Units] shdwkeeper:
I was told the backups are under a hidden folder Appdata thst only the app can write and read from. I don't see an FCCLauncher Backup folder in my Google Drive
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Yep, same behaviour here, if fresh installation, no player deployed with skins, and if deployed manually (adding widget) the launcher crashes when trying to get player widget settings

if FCC upraded over previous versions everything works fine
[Android Head-Units] shdwkeeper:
I upgraded from release version on Google play to latest test version and it crashed on me as stated above.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Ok, in my personal case, I am upgrading from PlayStore 3.442 following all test versions until latest one (47)
[Android Head-Units] shdwkeeper:
Ok, I didn't do that. That's 47 installs :)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Guys, thank you so much for your reports.

I didn't have much time to fix everything properly but here is a quick fix: fcclauncher-3.442_test48.apk

Player widgets should appear after clean install but may require opening widget's settings to apply everything correctly (later it will be done automatically).
[Android Head-Units] stevensp:
Trying to use Google Assistant to make calls.

Google Assistant is asking which dialer (FCC Launcher or MTCdialer) and I chose FCC Launcher, after which there is an error message "app not installed"

Tried pressing the "call" button in Google Assistant and it will reload FCC Launcher.

Any way to solve the dialer issue?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
New test version: fcclauncher-3.442_test49.apk

Here I tried to fix some crashes resulted from concurrent modification of arrays by different threads.

It looked a little bit slower in widget updates after restart on emulator. However it seems fine on a real device.

Can you notice any difference?
[Android Head-Units] acmegr:
Hello.

I bought the app a couple of years ago but unfortunately I couldn't use it after all bcs my head unit didn't support it.

Now finally I got a new unit and first thing I did was to install the app.

I have a couple of issues yet but the most important is that I cant make a call.

Let me explain better what I mean:

I used the default initial launcher and connected my phone with head unit. Used the "phone" app (called Bluetooth as seen in first picture below) of default launcher and I was able to see the contacts of my phone and make a call.

When I made default launcher the fcc, whenever someone calls me, I get notified in head unit and I can reply from there. But I cannot make a call. I can't find the correct "phone" app.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Test48/49 report :

There's a problem with music widgets if 2 widgets on different page. First one is ok, disappear on second one. (Even if I delete and create a new one)
[Android Head-Units] okij:
The phone app should be called "Bluetooth", as usual. Somewhere on the FCC home screen there should be an "All Apps" icon/widget to open a page with all apps. If you cannot find this icon/widget, you can add it by long-pressing on an empty space on the home screen.

Sleep on no power just recycles launcher.

I use a Samsung tablet fully interested into car, love FCC and paid up user.

When I turn off ignition no external USB power, the launcher closes and immediately launches again. I only have sleep on external USB power off.

Works flawlessly on Agami Webcarguru, etc etc

A must as tablet is fully integrated, see pic

Any suggestions. Galaxy 10.1 S3 Tab Android 11
[Android Head-Units] cx-8_mazda:
GoogleMap is now automatically scaled by speed.

I am not sure what was causing this.

When I change the setting for the speed at which it automatically scales, it does not reflect the change.

The PX6 I use has a very slow startup time when I change the different launchers.

So, I have not set it to always use.

Maybe the reason is that I don't have the launcher set to always use.

I will continue to try to make it automatically scale when I want it to.
