(y) I can confirm that it's fixed and doesn't disappear anymore.

(y) Wow, this is really great! For the first time since I use DAB-Z as a player in the FCC Player widget, the text scrolling is not interrupted and perfectly working now. :cool: Anyway, please keep the option to disable the text scrolling, in case someone likes it better this way.

I didn't notice a problem with this before, but it's working fine in test57 and test58.

(y) The latest test version(s) work very smooth on my head unit, e.g. widget settings open faster than some test versions ago, so you did a good job on optimizing FCC.

(y) I can confirm that it's fixed and doesn't disappear anymore. :)

Thanks a lot for the latest bug fixes and for all the work you put into the development of FCC Launcher! I would like to send you a donation to thank you for the recent rework of the widgets, please tell me how I can do so (e.g. PayPal). Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Great news! Thanks for testing!

The best possible "payment" is your (and other testers' of course) bug reports and time to test. Thank you!
[Android Head-Units] okij:
For me it's an honour and fun to test updates and see FCC Launcher progressing and getting more mature over time. :) It's a great software by a dev who is listening to his users.

I know that you refused donations before, but please let me know if you change your mind. 😉
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
I agree, ready to put some €€€€
[Android Head-Units] jeff leggett:
Agreed. I would happily donate also. The amount of time you put in is much appreciated. FCC + KWGT + Hal or Malay = best android set-up ever.

I still have the music widget problem, you can't put a square widget all round, does it happen to someone?
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Please record a video or explain the exact steps for @SpeedFire- to reproduce it, so he can fix it if it's broken. Your bug reports are very vague and need more details.
[Android Head-Units] tonimontoia:
but if you don't have this problem it can be hal9k ROM with Android 10 or my Tablet
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Yes, could be. But why and how should other people test if they have your problem if you don't care to describe it in detail, so they can reproduce it? It seems like you want to see results without giving proper input.
[Android Head-Units] tonimontoia:
it's not like you say, I can't post videos don't upload them here maybe they are too long and I don't know how to do it, it's not that I'm an expert who knows how
[Android Head-Units] okij:
But you can write detailed (step by step) instructions, so other users and @SpeedFire- can reproduce your problem. Don't be lazy...
[Android Head-Units] XDKOwner:
I have the same issue! Solution?
[Android Head-Units] jeff leggett:
If I remember correctly what worked for me was android/data/ru.speedfire.flycontrolcenter/files/download/tiles Drop the map file into the last tile folder. If you start to manually download it FCC should create the folders for you. I think internal or external memory works. If that's the problem you are having.
[Android Head-Units] XDKOwner:
The same problem..
[Android Head-Units] coretech:
Hi All- Just wanted to say I'm a new user just installed my ATOTO S8 ultra gen2 in my caravan about 3 months ago and loving FCC. But recently FCC has been crashing or stopping on my head unit and I can seem to figure out why. I have to set as the auto launched app so it starts up when I turn on the car. The widgets will work fine for a few minutes but then the app just stops and I'm back at my regular atoto launcher screen. I've installed the latest beta I think it was 56 but still have the same issue.

Does anyone have any thoughts?
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Of course betas can be unstable, because they are work in progress. The latest beta you can try is test58 from here, which is running fine on my head unit. If it crashes on your device and if your device is rooted, please take a full Logcat log e.g. with LogcatX app and post it here for @SpeedFire- to fix the cause.
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
@SpeedFire- with test 58, the compass seems to be working for me too! Thank you for your hard work and fixes! The app is running great for me at the moment!

I noticed that FCC is now back up to a 4.1 star in the Play Store, so thank you to those that have helped bump the rating back to 4+ star! This IS a 5 star app, and for those that haven't reviewed the app in the Play Store, PLEASE do so!

And please remember how complex this app is, and how much @SpeedFire- does to make FCC compatible with so many different units, and if your unit is not fully supported yet, just remember that he is working on it!!
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Although you didn't provide some details about what exactly doesn't work for you, today I tried if round Player widgets work for me, which they do.

The round Player widget with title display works out of the box, while the round Player widget which just displays album art first doesn't show anything. So after placing it, you have to open the widget settings (by long-pressing on the space where it has been placed) and change some settings forth and back, after which it is shown. IMHO this is a bug that @SpeedFire- should have a look at.
[Android Head-Units] Yak54:
I thought this was only a problem for me with my HeadUnit. The map works as far as I can tell, but there is a warning every time I start it.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
While I rewrite the Weather widget (which will take some time) here is a next test version - fcclauncher-3.442_test59.apk:

- Some crashes fixed

- Text alignment setting is added to all rewritten widgets.
[Android Head-Units] daemondee:
@SpeedFire- I would like to report a issue i have with a player widget:

When I switch between the radio and the mp3 player (button Glasba on video - I use AIMP player), the text and album art do not change. They only change when I switch to the next or previous song on the mp3 player, or to another station on the radio.

The album art is not adapted to the frame but is smaller (the video shows how the size changes). In the old player widget, the size of album art was as big as a frame.

I am attaching a logcat, FCC backup file and video. My head unit is CSN2 Android 10, using latest test59.
[Android Head-Units] MirkoCrb:
Good morning everybody.

A couple of years ago I used FCC as a launcher on my car

It was not that good to me because of 2 things:

1) the minimap was based on google and so I needed internet connection all the time.

2) The mini map was just a widget and not a proper navigation system. There was no possibility to search a destination through the mini map and it opened google map instead.

Now, after 2 years is there a way to have a working mini map connected to a offline navi?

thank you
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Thanks! :)

One small bug: After installing the update, all App widgets are reset to centered text alignment. I have used left text alignment before on many app widgets, so I had now to manually correct the alignment again. Not a big problem for me, but could disturb users when updating, so you should better keep previously set alignments. :)
[Android Head-Units] oferyuval:
How do you backup the FCC configuration ?
[Android Head-Units] okij:
The backup tool can be found under FCC Settings -> System at the bottom of the menu.
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
@SpeedFire- One small bug with the Track Control Buttons from the Player Widget. I use this just as a single widget with only the Track Control Buttons, and all other options disabled in the Player Widget.

Expected behavior: Coming out of sleep, play button should match the state of the player (music playing = display pause button; music not playing = display a play button).

I.E. Coming out of sleep with a player still playing, play/pause button should be a pause logo.

Or if coming out of sleep with a player Not playing, play/pause button should be a play logo.

Actual behavior: Coming out of sleep with a player still playing, play/pause button is a play logo. The only way to get it to display correctly is to press the incorrect play button 2 times, first time pauses and it retains the play logo, the way it should be when paused, then second press resumes music and the icon is finally updated to a pause logo, as it should be.

Hi, new user of FCC Launcher here.

I'm currently running the 3.442_test59 and loving it. This launcher does 90% of what I want it to do after years of running a tablet with Tasker, Overlays, Torque, Target Home Launcher,... (you get the point).

Only few things I'm missing and wondering if they are under development:

1. Overlaying different widgets like in Nova Launcher (still using Overlays for that).

2. Native support for OBD2 with USB (still using the deprecated Torque Widgets for that).

3. Native support for all the Torque PID's, for instance I like to see my TPMS wich I get from the OBD2 and tranny temp (still using the deprecated Torque Widgets for that as well).

Kind regards,

Sven
[Android Head-Units] bomvol:
Oh yeah, one more thing. The minimap has a lower limit for the size. I'ld like to scale it down so it's the same size as Google Maps PIP, so the navigation overlays the regular minimap
[Android Head-Units] okij:
@SpeedFire- I have one idea / suggestion for the new widget settings:

Since they are now semi-transparent, we can see the changes before applying them. It's good that they are not too transparent, so we can properly read the settings. However, it would be great if after changing a value the settings became ~ 80% transparent for ~ 2 seconds to better see the changes.

I don't know if this is possible, but it could be quite useful. :)
[Android Head-Units] okij:
@SpeedFire- I just found a small bug: When the launcher is locked to prevent changes, it's still possible to change the minimap settings after long-tapping on it.
[Android Head-Units] liamstears:
I've started having an issue and to be honest I think it's my rom but looking for some other users input just in case

Using latest test if I go into another app then press home FCC is restarted, if I use the back button however it's fine...
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Nice idea. Take a look - fcclauncher-3.442_test60.apk

- Added widgets settings "peek" animation (disabled by default, you need to open any widget's settings and enable it in the very bottom).

- Widgets settings are applied faster (there was an inefficiency previously)
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Thanks a lot, is working great! (y)

One idea for improvement: Instead of using a checkmark for enabling this option, could you use a slider to set the peek duration from 0 (= option is off) to 10 seconds?
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
I was thinking abour the backup process, it could be improved

1-) Wen we chose a name for the backup I'd like that name appears everytime I make a backup (sharedprefs ?)

View attachment 5400995

2-) Also when the backup is done without issues, close automatically the dialog box

View attachment 5400999
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Sure. Done.

Added as well

I still think that the current approach is better. So this is not implemented.

New test version: fcclauncher-3.442_test61.apk
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
@SpeedFire- This issue is still on the last couple test versions.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
FCC the best and better after each test version!
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Thanks a lot for implementing it. :) I now set the peek preview to 2 seconds.

I can confirm this bug, which is also occuring not always but quite often when I wake my head unit from sleep. AFAIR it didn't occur on the old Player widget (before it was rewritten).

To reproduce this issue, you can manually restart FCC Launcher with these instructions:

Set DAB-Z and/or GoneMad Music Player Classic (GMMP) as players in FCC Launcher. Most likely many other players can reproduce this issue too. I cannot reproduce this issue with NavRadio+, where this bug does not occur (maybe because it directly uses the MTCE radio hardware).

Place a FCC Restart widget on the home screen.

Let play either DAB-Z or GMMP, so the Player widget shows the correct information and the "Pause" button.

Manually restart FCC Launcher by pressing the FCC Restart widget.

After this, while the music is still playing, the Player widget erroneously shows the "Play" button instead of the "Pause" button. Also, none of the three player buttons is shown as active.

It only returns to the correct state after pressing two times on the Play/Pause button or after switching players.

I hope that this helps to fix this issue.🤞Please let me know if you need further testing or a LogCat log.
[Android Head-Units] ric69:
Finally a perfect music widget with album arts, switching from spotify / standard player / fm player, incredible work master , you're the best.
[Android Head-Units] shdwkeeper:
What do you mean by overlaying Google maps? Jusy curious.
[Android Head-Units] shdwkeeper:
Not sure this is a bug or not, but when when open the MiniMap at night (PM) it's always in Day mode even though I have the setting at Auto. Once I open settings (even though I don't make any changes) it switches to the correct mode. Has anyone else noticed that?
[Android Head-Units] bomvol:
To draw the navigation in the Minimap, you have to pay for an api key. But when I start navigation I want to use the Maps PIP. This defaults in the bottom right corner.

So I want to make a layout of my homescreen with a minimap in that same location. So when I start the navigation in PIP, the layout of the homescreen remains the same, thus creating the illusion of the Minimap providing the navigation.

(All thanks to Tasker, off course...)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Thanks. I've finally reproduced this issue on a real test device with your help.

This test version includes the fix.

The data now is updated after restart. However not too fast - it takes several seconds to update on my device. But this is probably because of further overall optimisations required in initial widgets loading.

New test version: fcclauncher-3.442_test62.apk
[Android Head-Units] Ericang:
Hi @SpeedFire-

By any chance could you make the left column to accept widgets like clock , speed etc etc instead of apps ?

somethin like this (ignore the red circle as it is a ohysical hardware button from the player )

Thanks

[Android Head-Units] okij:
Thanks, I've now watched the video.

I didn't try test62 yet, so I don't know yet if the bug also occurs on my unit.

If your device is rooted, please take a log with Logcat Extreme (from Play Store) after the bug occured and post it for @SpeedFire-, so he can have a look.

Most likely you can fix it by installing test61 again without wiping data. But before this, please take a log.
[Android Head-Units] tonimontoia:
i don't know how to make a log cat i will try it thanks a lot

@SpeedFire- I now also tried test62 and can confirm this bug as it's force closing on my head unit too.

Thanks @tonimontoia! (y)

@SpeedFire- I took a Logcat log too which I attached to this post, as well as a backup of my current FCC configuration, so that you can have a look. I let it crash three times in the minute before I wrote the log.

P.S. As expected, it's possible to revert to test61 without data loss.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Sorry for that, guys.

Here is the fixed version: fcclauncher-3.442_test63.apk
[Android Head-Units] okij:
No problem and thanks for the quick update! :)

However, I found two issues in test63:

FFC force closes after pressing the FCC Restart widget.

After sleep, the FCC Player widget wrongly kept showing the play button, even though DAB-Z started playing. So this bug unfortunately isn't fixed yet.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Can you check with the GoneMad player as this is easier for me to reproduce?

Please make sure that you've waited long enough after restart (at least 10 seconds) to be sure that the player status is not updated automatically.
[Android Head-Units] okij:
I can check, but not before this evening, since I'm not at home right now.

Could you look after the FCC Restart bug in the meanwhile? It would help to track down the other bug more easily, as I can reliably provoke the Player widget bug by manually restarting FCC launcher (in test61).
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Here is the version with a slightly quicker player data updated: fcclauncher-3.442_test65.apk
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Please try test65. Probably this is fixed there.
[Android Head-Units] okij:
Hey, thanks a lot! Both the FCC Restart bug and the FCC Player (play/pause button) issue have been fixed on my head unit with test65! :cool:(y)

I just tested it thoroughly for half an hour with different players (DAB-Z, NavRadio+ and GoneMad Music Player). I did restarts with both the FCC Restart widget and by putting the head unit to sleep and waking it (with FCC being on the whitelist of Hal9k Mod4), also I tested it with the players either being playing or being paused before doing the restarts. Everytime the Player widget acted as expected and the play/pause button was in the correct state. :)

@whitewolf8111 Please also check test65 and report back if the FCC Player (play/pause button) issue has been fixed for you too.
[Android Head-Units] shdwkeeper:
@SpeedFire- is this a bug?
[Android Head-Units] shdwkeeper:
I think you meant this to be Test 64 as that's the version installed with this .apk
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
There are some plans for the left panel. We can discuss this a little bit later.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
fcclauncher-3.442_test66.apk

- Slightly improved widget loading time

- Some changes in brightness widget behaviour and in auto-brightness applied on load
[Android Head-Units] tonimontoia:
during the day from 2 to 3 stops especially if you change player I give an example from Spotify to deezer, you do not see the name of the last player although he sings the music of the new player then crashes and on restart you see the name of the player
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Hi fellows, I know that on this moment @SpeedFire- is working around some little bugs and maybe this is not the moment to ask for features

But I'll try to lauch here this idea ad hope this could be implemented in the future

Were we go

View attachment 5403931

This happens when I touch/hold an icon/widget in a 3rd party launcher, I have a floating menu asking me to uninstall/(maybe only delete from launcher), modify (settings) and get info (from app / widget)

We have these 3 options when we do the same in FCC launcher but these options are in the center top of the screen

Is it (maybe) possible to do something like this in FCC ? adding of course the option "resize", of course if we "move" the icon/widget the menu dissappears as it understand that we want to move the icon to another place.

Sorry if I ask too much, but I feel like a nice idea (not mandatory of course)

P.S. @SpeedFire- dont get angry with me LoL, I have my mind working around FCC and what could be better for that launcher LoL
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
Been occupied recently and have only just updated to t66. As I was having BIG issues with the PlayStore either not working or appearing when I pressed on the Poweramp/radio widget I wiped cache etc. Restored my FCC BU and carried on. Having trouble now with the Poweramp/radio widget. I cannot for the life of me make the widget appear on screen. I have the quick players set up (just the selector button) and as I did before wanted separate controls and separate album art. Neither of which I can do now. As the widget isn't currently adjustable for placement within itself, I get a better look with the widget in three parts. Only I cannot do that with the new version. The widget as a whole is fine but three versions running doesn't. Is it me or.....

Also I cannot make FCC start on its own. I have it setup and the default launcher as always and as before but on boot, I get the rubbish built in launcher and have to press home every time. Are these known issues or do I need to use LogCAT?

Many Thanks
[Android Head-Units] evildead243:
In the last 4-5 versions, the speed limiter on the mini-map disappeared. Correct it. And the automatic size of the street name now looks very scary (too huge letters for short street names). Other errors: the colour of the wi-fi icon does not change in the widget settings. Widget Hours and Date (after restarting the launcher, the lines are swapped, i.e. the date from below and the time from above. And there's nothing to change that. Only reloading the radio helps

to be honest... Some "please" in your posting would be really nice, what do you think?

The author is testing his development. I, like everyone else, write mistakes that I encounter. What's wrong?
[Android Head-Units] okij:
The language in your post is not very polite, most notably:

Sounds more like a command than a request.

We are all human and want to be treated like this, also the devs on xda. So please use a "please" where it's appropriate. Thanks.

P.S. But of course it's good that you give feedback of issues you encounter.
[Android Head-Units] whitewolf8111:
@SpeedFire- Test 65/66 seemed to fix the play/pause button issue. Thank you for that!

However, sometimes I have a new issue with the album art and track info not always updating. It seems really random when it happens, and happens less and less the longer I use it. Now it almost never does it after a few of days of testing it out. But it was mainly when switching between players, like Pandora, Spotify, Deezer or Amazon Music. Changing the track or restarting FCC doesn't make it work. It seemed only a head unit restart or when it wakes, would make it start working again.

Also the track progress bar doesn't always keep with the actual progress of the track, or sometimes gets stuck when the above issue happens. This too is really random, and happens less often now.

And I even had FCC crash on wake, but only once.

I'll keep testing, and report back
[Android Head-Units] okij:
@SpeedFire- I had a look at this issue and can confirm it for the current test66 version. I'm using Google as maps provider and the speed limit currently isn't displayed. Please have a look after it, thanks. :)

Just got into the android head unit space after years of rigging android tablets to work with the factory HU

Fairly quickly determined FCC is the best launcher as it appears to be the only one that supports split screen functions for Google Nav support

Great work on this app @SpeedFire-

I bought a piece of junk eBay, Android HU and am now wondering (hoping) if the poor performance is related in any way to me making the wrong choice on this screen here... I have no clue what classification this tablet would fall under, and it seems FCC may not know either. Any thoughts on this?View attachment 5405641
