FCC 3.395

Whats changed ? Looks like it displays the navradio+ default Station Artwork when it should :) (Maybe the previous version did as well)

New Widget parameters still being set to 'strange" default values .. ie Icon Size VERY Big

I'm reasonably sure they use to set to the same as the last edited widget, (before split screen was introduced)
[Android Head-Units] marcus82:
ok, I'm trying to make my home page.

As you can see I have to remove or change the system bars to have more space. Moreover, some buttons don't work with custom launcher View attachment 5052063

You can just tap and hold on the screen where there is no widget, and then drag the screen to the bin icon that appears on the right hand side. This will delete the screen with all the widgets. Took me a while to figure this out
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Thanks .. that is a lot easier !!

Have you figured out if there is a way to COPY a whole screen to a new Screen ??
[Android Head-Units] marcus82:
is there the possibility to have in the second page the map widget to fill the whole space?

Dear [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] dear all.

Unfortunately the latest update still hasn't solved the music widget issue. It's still very unstable changes every 15-20 minutes by itself to stock FM app even if I am listening to Spotify. Spotify goes on and FM doesn't turn on but track change is not shown by fcc laun her as active player is FM radio. I hardly ever use FM radio. It would be so great if the bug would be fixed. Are there plans for that or it will stay in this unstable state because of navradio+ support. I don't use it. The latest stab version where music widget worked flawlessly is 3.365v25 I always have to downgrade to that version. I tried latest version today from play store. Was bit dissapointed because of the buggy music widget. Anyone has any input to this matter?
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Yes, just put a MiniMap on a new screen, and adjust its size properties so it fills the screen

---------- Post added at 09:39 ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 ----------

Just a thought :-

Maybe it is switching from Spotify, because you are loosing randomly dropping Internet connect. ?

Maybe try, temporarily try swapping out Spotify with a Mp3 player, and see if it still changes every 15-20 minutes.

You can test how stable your Internet connection is, with a APP like PING

Many thanks, Looks at lot neater now! :)

I have my phone connected via bluetooth and charging via USB. Is there a recommended app to run the phone music via USB? OR Android only do files from a flash drive?

Also RDS FM radio. I need an app that will work with the devices FM circuitry. The only 'device' app installed, I actually have to type in frequencies! No RDS information at all or even button labeling!

Another app question, how can you create an widget to display on the pages? Say I'd like an anaologue clock, I can obviously find an app, but I'd like the clock on a skin screen?
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
If the OEM radio App is not working as you wish, the only option I know of is possibly navradio+, assuming your unit is compatible with navradio+

Finding another Units OEM radio App, that is compatible with your hardware/software might be a challenge.

#1 thing to do is to determine your Units hardware/software,

Otherwise, its Internet Radio .

RDS is "cool" but its really only a "extra" ... you don't really

need

it, and maybe only feel you do need it if you do not have it :P

Sound likek you are looking for a GOOD Analogue clock WIDGET to put on a FCC page.

Persoanally, I am more than happy with a Digital Clock (which FCC already has, with Optional date)

Looking in the Google APP store, there are no shortage of Analogue Clocks. You just need one that can be run as a widget ??
[Android Head-Units] mike-bd:
I think that's the problem, I haven't found any!!!

There are a few "Create your own widget" Apps. but making a widget from scratch is a "Task", requiring a fair amount of Android programming knowledge.

Now, if FCC had a supporting "Make your own FCC widget APP", that created FCC widgets, with all FCC's editing properties, that would be amazing, but also a LOT OF WORK for [MENTION=574564]speedi[/MENTION]re-

(which is why I have not even suggested the idea before in this forum )

Then it's not an Internet issue.

For whats it worth, I do not experience this, even with the later Versions of FCC, but if you are sure it does not happen with earlier versions, then it does sound that their is an issue running the later versions on FCC, on your particular model Head Unit -- so EXACTLY what head Unit do you have

[Android Head-Units] matrixx1:
Hi to be honest I am not so sure that it's not doing on earlier version as originally thought as I experienced it on the previous version now as well. I have a dasaita Max 6 with Hal9k rom 4.0.2. I use Spotify deezer poweramp and stock radio. I think there is definitely an issue with how fcc Handel's Stock FM radio as when the music widget changes to stock FM although it's enabled to open FM in full screen it always opens Spotify no matter what. Only if I press on FM icon it starts radio otherwise the active music widget changes to FM radio but Spotify is still playing and if I change track it changes in spotify/poweramp it's very weird and I am sure it's because of navradio+ supper as before I have never had issue with music widget

Sorry for the useless question, Playstore
[Android Head-Units] jrobbom5:
I had a quick play around today creating my own custom skin. So far, it is all coming along nicely. However, I ran into a noob problem. How do I add the mini-map to the screen? I thought it was a widget, but I can't find it anywhere. Any help very much appreciated :)
[Android Head-Units] matrixx1:
Hi is there a possibility to remove FM radio detection from music widget. It's bothering. E a lot and cannot fix the issue that the music widget changes by itself to FM radio app, keeps playing the music which I was listening to but it doesn't show track change info (track title) if I skip to next song as the music widget thinks radio is active but it is not. The issue is there for a long time now. I have dasaita max 6 Hal9k ROM 4.0.2
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Just choose the player you want to have in the widgets and take away the checkmark for other player.
[Android Head-Units] matrixx1:
Yes but then I can only add 3 players and I would like to have 4. Or am I missing something? For the 4th player the option is to get it recognized by fcc launcher I cannot set a fix 4th player unfortunately as far as I know
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
The 4th player is not a FIXED player, as defined in a FCC configuration (like Player 1,2 & 3)

FCC automatically assigns the 4th player to the last Player you started (excluding obviously what you have in Player 1,2, & 3)

So if your problem is that your 4th player is changing, then you are probably stating another player, (maybe unintentionally)

Try making Spotify your 3rd player and turn off 4th player. - and see if it still switches randomly after 20-30 minutes .

If it does, the try making NONE of youy players 1,2 or 3 FM Radio, and see if it still wants to start FM radio after a time.
[Android Head-Units] matrixx1:
I gave up. No matter what the music widget changes to stock fm so I downloaded and bought navradio+ and disabled stock fm app. Let's see what happens
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
In this case do it like I do...

Create 2 player widgets side by side and choose only 2 player in each... and remove the checkmarks in both...

Be creative... ;)

[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

There is another issue in FCC:

If you change the icon and/or the name of any app in the app overview and choose the FCC restart, the app is not updated after FCC is back on.

I needed to restart FCC again to get this overtaken.
[Android Head-Units] jrobbom5:
Does anyone know how to add the Mini-map to the screen please? I thought it was a widget, but it appears to be something different.
[Android Head-Units] matrixx1:
As I wrote before I gave up accepted the fact that since fcc is compatible with navradio+ its not compitble anymore with the stock fm. Its used to be but not anymore. So i had to buy navradio+ and disbale stock fm app and now it seems to work. It seems music widget is either compatible with navradio+ or stock. Now as everyone requetsed navradio support, this broke stock fm support of the music widget
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
No it didn't

Nobody else is reporting this, so the issue must be either be your particular head Unit, or ( Reading between the lines of your posts) something you are doing incorrectly or not understanding about how the Player widget is designed to be used (ie with 4th player)

But if its working for you with navRadio+, the bright side is that it is now running well, with a far better FM Radio App :)

[MENTION=1633144]speedfire[/MENTION], please help make FCC a launcher again. Let's not go one step forward and two steps back. Thank you.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Definition of : "one step forward, two steps back"

"If you take one step forward, two steps back, you make progress but then experience events that cause you to be further behind than you were when you made the progress."

Welcome to the world of Software Development !!!

There is also another saying "NO pain - No gain"

The point is that there has been PROGRESS. That Progress may have broken a few things, but those broken things are known about, and will typically be fixed during the next stage of development.

If you don't want to Progress, and not want to risk taking that one step forward, then don't. Stay where you are were you are happy (ie an earlier version of FCC)

You say "

Please make FCC a Launcher again

" .. You may as well say "Please make FCC "GOOD"". Unless you explain why you no longer think FCC is a launcher, and what should be done to "make it a launcher again" (in your eyes).

If you are saying "Please Fix the broken bits", then state what you consider the "Broken bits" are.

I think you can safely assume that SpeedFire- did not "Break" anything intentionally, and if anything is specifically reported as "Broken", he will make ever effort to "FIX" it... going on past experience of how dedicated Speedfire has been to developing and improving FCC.

Also, consider this: Speedfire- has made FCC such, that you can always uninstall FCC ( Play Store version, or any Exported version, or any beta version posted in Forum), and the install any previous version you like. Not all APPs allow you to do this. You can also save all your setting and setups, so the process is fast and painless.

So no reason why you cannot go back to a previous version (when you considered FCC was still a Launcher, and use that)

Backup & Restore of setting was on of those Forward steps, which, at the time did cause some issue, but they were identified and fixed.

Without that Step Forward, and the associated risk, we would not have had features like Backup & Restore, and FCC would not have evolved into the best LAUNCHER that it is today.
[Android Head-Units] bajoseph04:
Thanks for all your nice wording and the time you spent in writing this. Let me skip those and just focus on the content relevant to this blog.

The reason for saying why FCC is not a launcher is already there in the older thread. None of the lanchers show up in the recent apps and close when all recent apps are closed (of course FCC opens again with the splash screen). This is the typical behaviour of an app not a launcher (I'm aware a launcher is also an app so don't need an explanation on that). The issue started off with the introduction of split screen and has been reported few times but has gone unnoticed considering the increased focus was on the split screen feature sometime back and navradio+ recently.

Yep. As you said I can go back few builds to have a stable version if at all there will be a fix. Considering the current situation and very less driving, I haven't done it but was waiting for a fix for long time. But of late bug fix requests are given least priority as more features are included.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
So, what you are saying is that FCC will become a REAL launcher once again, as soon as it does not appear in the Recent Apps list

Sounds good to me, (but in truth, is not something that bothers me, so I still consider it a REAL launcher.) ;)

If it really is an issue, I am sure SpeedFire- will get around to correcting FCC's behavior in this matter.

I tried Split Screen, when it was introduced, - My head unit will go to Split Screen, but not automatically under FCC.

I can force it to Manually, but the results of split screen, and reduced sizes, make it not something I want to use.

I really don't need it, especially as (for me) it makes my existing screens , optimized for Full Screen, far from optimal.

Maybe I will reconsider if I ever get a 12" Display Head Unit !! :)

[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:

[Android Head-Units] marcus82:
I will try, thanks!
[Android Head-Units] jrobbom5:
Thanks, but there appears to be some confusion on what is being asked. The question is not how to add a new skin that includes the mini-map., but how to add the mini-map to an existing skin? ie, I can add a widget to an existing skin, is it possible to add the mini-map in a similar manner?
[Android Head-Units] jrobbom5:
FWIW, this is my first attempt ar adding a new "driving skin" :)
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
You just do what I wrote and:

Adjust the size of the map,

Move the wanted icons, apps, widgets from the skin page where you want to have the mini-map to the new skin page.

Delete the old skin page.

Just once again... be creative. This is no ready to go launcher... it needs some thinking. ;)
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Looks Good ... How did you get the Darker Background Shading behind your White text on an almost white background ?

Did Speedfire- add Text Shadows (and I missed it ) ??
[Android Head-Units] jrobbom5:
Do you mean on the player widget?
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Yes, Player Widget Artwork : I just checked mine. I have not been putting the Text on the Player widget in the past because it is so often unreadable, but today, after seeing your screenshot, I tried, and yes, there does appear to be some Drop Text background on the text.. automatically, with no control.

Wonder when that was added !!

Unfortunately, because of my Displays Characteristics, it is not dark enough to be of much good for me, so I will stick to having the Song/Artist display in their own widget, rather than loose it on the artwork.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
This was not that easy. All Apps is not a separate Activity but a layer in the Launcher main activity, and the Launcher layout had a "fitsSystemWindow" = true settings. All of this should change dynamically.

I am using the beta on Flyaudio G8 system. I am facing these 2 issues

1. Reset trip on the speed/distance widget does not work consistently. I have to click the widget multiple times. I know that the click was registered because it shows a confirmation window each time where I press OK. I have not been able to pin point when it works or not.

2. Off-> Auto brightness toggle does not work as expected. It switches the screen off but on toggle from off position instead of using the Auto settings (which I have set to all max) it makes the screen minimum brightness. Is it possible to fix? Else can we have a toggle for off-> max brightness.

Speedfire, radio channel not shown on the player-radio widget is an irritant. Is it something which is possible to fix and you are looking at?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:

I would say V3.400 v2 = "BROKEN"

With Status bar turned OFF, after FCC starts with it OFF, as soon as anything is done, it appears and stays there.

If Status Bar is Turned ON, The Status Bar is there, and there is a similar blank area under it, and so all of the FCC screen is vertically compressed

Attached are two Screen shots, showing this
