Yes that is exactly why FCC should release it's connection when it loose focus (and re-establish it when focus is returned).

Hey there,

I've installed the free version and tested it several days now. First, very good work, I like the app a lot! Especially the minimap is awesome! The reason why I did not buy the paid version yet is that there are still some bugs left :(

1. The title in the Player widget is blurring around, doesn't look good

2. After creating a widget and changing it to symbol-only, on every long press on the widget it changes back to pure-text

I've created two videos of the bugs, pls check!
[Android Head-Units] cyverboy2:
Autostart?

Another problem occured:

On every start up I have to press the home button first before the launcher starts, autostart is not working (option is checked) :( any idea? This would be a no-go for me...

I use xtrons PB88UNVP with Android 8.0 on PX5 4/32 GB
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
1. I will look at this

2. Fixed. Thanks.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Did you have this issue from the very beginning? If yes, probably your device has some different boot up broadcast. I will need your system apk-s. Do you have a root access?
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
Found some error on my device may be helpful for others running FCC on a MTC device. Look at system apps and search for MTC service. Kill it with ? it slow down your device with FCC.
[Android Head-Units] pa.ko:
Are you sure? Isn't it needed for some stock apps to work?

And what do you mean by 'Kill it with '? You mean reinstall it or what (freeze with Titanium)?
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
I mean stop the service. Don't reinstall. I don't use any stock app . And it really slow down the unit.

FCC Does not respond

hello, I have a Winca S160, M245-2, android 4.4.4, MCU 01709180.A, buy FCC car launcher and every time you start the application a sign appears that says the application does not respond.

There may be some configuration problem?

I have set Rockchip MTCB.

thanks for your help

[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Hi. Looks like some bug. Could you please write a LogCat log (see the first post)?
[Android Head-Units] pa.ko:
But if you just stop it, not deinstalled it, it is again started on next boot. So how you know it speeds up boot? I don't understand you.
[Android Head-Units] joesix123:
With the latest update today I lost the listener function. had to revert back to 3.019 and problem gone. Too bad - one of the versions in between recognised all my media players but I cant figure out to which to upgrade to now :)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Yes, I know about that bug. Trying to fix it. Sorry
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Sorry again, guys! We had an issue with Player widget in recent releases. It seems it is fixed now, but please do 2 steps:

1) Grant access to Notifications again.

2) RESTART your device

Sorry for inconvenience again

New version is sent to Play Market.

You can also get it here: fcclauncher-3.026
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
Thanks. Men. That solves my problems.
[Android Head-Units] joesix123:
Cool - can I just install this over 3.019 then? Took me an hour to reset the player since I first thought its me the user who messed the settings up :crying:

Also: Thanks for the great launcher. It makes a huge difference. Anyway to pay for it outside of google play store? I dont give Google my credit card info out of principle but your effort would be worth some money to me!
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Yes. You can just install new version over your current.

Regarding payment. Unfortunately there is no convenient way to purchase app outside Play Market. However I will be grateful for a good raiting in market. Recently there were several 1 star ratings [emoji17]

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.speedfire.flycontrolcenter
[Android Head-Units] cyverboy2:
It works fine now, after deep sleep everything is ok. unfortunately I don't have root access :(

Done! I will test the new version today, and if it's still as good as the last one (3.022), I will upgrade to premium version!

By the way, the speed volume adjust function is damn good :) There is just only one feature missing: compatibility with the zoulou DAB+ player (especially station logo). I have added the recent BroadcastIntent-definition, maybe it is helpful!
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Thank you! :)

DAB+ player is already integrated. Doesn't it work at all? It should get artist / track data.

The logo, unfortunately, is not broadcasted by this player (does it show logo in notifications?)
[Android Head-Units] joesix123:
Consider it done. It deserves good ratings.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Thank you! ;)
[Android Head-Units] cyverboy2:
I think something is going wrong here :( after updating the app to 3.027 it is not possible to choose FCC Launcher in the notification permission screen anymore. I tried to restart several times, but still not working!
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Thank you. I will check now.
[Android Head-Units] cyverboy2:
I think it does not work as designed! Artist and track data is shown up only for a very very short time after switching the station (video attached).
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Uploaded a new version. Please try.

P.S. To manually go to Notification Access window you may disable and enable Album Art in Player widget settings.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
That's a pity you don't have a root. LogCat log could be really useful here.

I can't test this app by myself in emulator since it requires some hardware.
[Android Head-Units] cyverboy2:
Yeah, works fine now :) thank you!

Another topic: automatic brightness adjustmest

As I understand, the function sets the brightness depending on sunset/sunrise. At my device the adjustment didn't work :( where does the app get the times from? The minimap is also always in night mode.
[Android Head-Units] cyverboy2:
Although there are still some minor bugs, I really appreciate your app and work! 3.028 is stable so far, so I just upgraded to premium right now :)

I took a picture of the brightness settings, looks like there is another bug?
[Android Head-Units] Petrovych:
You mean white background and no signs?

Отправлено с моего SM-G950U1 через Tapatalk
[Android Head-Units] pa.ko:
Time you have to set in Android settings.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Fixed in 3.029:

- Black theme in auto-brightness settings

- A2DP integration for PX5 (test)

Regarding auto-brightness:

- Sunset and sunrise time is automatically calculated based on your GPS location and date.

- Now you will be able to see auto-brightness settings - you can set levels for different time periods (sunset minus 45 mins, sunset minus 15 mins, sunset plus 15 mins etc.).
[Android Head-Units] cyverboy2:
Great! I will test it and give you some feedback. Is the sunset/sunrise calculation done offline or is a internet connection neccessary?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Offline. Just some mathematics.
[Android Head-Units] joesix123:
Not directly related to FCC launcher but is there a way to change the hardware buttons? I actually just want the NAVI button to start a different app (TomTom Go instead of Waze) but I cant find any option for such a setting anywhere. If you guys have a pointer, I'd be very grateful!
[Android Head-Units] pa.ko:
Go to Android Settings and find GPS section. There you can choose which app is launched. (On MTCB units at least)
[Android Head-Units] joesix123:
Thank you. However I dont have that option in settings. I have a very basic Lolipop-Settings screen and only have location services in Android Settings. Am I doing this wrongly? Flyaudio System settings only has the option to auto start GPS and auto-on voice (which means Waze keeps starting as soon as you move the car). I cant fid any other options. I used button mapper to change the NAVI button. This showed its actually the VOL- key (25) and I changed the setting there. Didnt work 100% though: Single click changed from default to start Go had no effect, still starts Waze. I set long keypress to start Go. That worked however it takes a screenshot everytime before starting Go so that is a bit irritation. Well in the end I simply placed a Go button on the FCC screen and am now using that one.

For what its worth: My unit identifies as FlyAudio MGCOL2 which is a factory delivery HU for a Hyundia Ioniq in Malaysia.
[Android Head-Units] cyverboy2:
Hey there,

I did a long drive on weekend (700 km) and could test it a long time :) I still like the app a lot, but not everything works fine:

Brightness

Didn't work at all. Brightness level of the unit stays at defined level all the time. Although auto-switching between night-and-day-mode in Minimap-widget works fine. Seems like FCC is not able to change the system brightness level.

Speedometer/sound adjust

Works fine, but only if the launcher/home screen is in foreground. If another app is running in foreground (e. g. Spotify, Google maps, DAB+) the FCC service seems to stop working. The speedometer in the status bar stays at the last known value. I make a Screenshot of the Problem while the GPS Monitor is running, there you can see the gap between speed values. So the automatic volume adjustment is not working as well :( I guess FCC tries to restart the service, because the speedometer is disappearing and shown up again every couple minutes!

Could you please take a look at these topics? Thank you :)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Hi!

1. Regarding brightness. What device do you use? If it is supported - brightness should work.

2. Let me guess. You use Android 8+ on your device? Most FCC Launcher's background tasks are performed in a special background service (it is called FCC Service). Starting Android 8, Google started to fight against long-running background services (to conserve battery and be more like Apple). So android may kill FCC Service after some time. All developers are not very happy with this behaviour but there was no any easy solution for that issue last time I checked.
[Android Head-Units] cyverboy2:
It's a Xtrons PB88UNVP MTCE 32 GB ROM 4 GB RAM Octa Core with Android 8.

Exactly. Is there absolutely no way to solve this? Any workaround? The automatic volume adjustment is THE feature at all...
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Wow. MTCE is already selling? If you have root can you send me your system apk files?

There was no good way last time I checked. I will try to check again.
[Android Head-Units] cyverboy2:
As mentioned I have no root yet :( First I want to be sure, that I will not send back the device before I do root.

Did you try JobScheduler yet? Sounds like a solution:

https://developer.android.com/about/versions/oreo/background
[Android Head-Units] royalhawk2002:
Just installed today. I started to configure it and I found a couple of Issues.

DAB+ Widget: I use the modded app from zoulou . I can see the text with song title and station name appearing and disappearing.

GPS Widget: Since my radio is 6.2" it doesn't support the Split Screen. With the FCC Launcher I could have the advantage to have the player and GPS on the same screen, but The GPS widget is very small.

Last, but not least, where I can find more skins ? I don't like toot much the one included with the launcher.
[Android Head-Units] Oldpapa49:
I was wondering (saw previous post) of the Allwinner T8 possible development. My unit is rooted and is pretty current.

Let me know if you need something. I have it loaded, and trying to set it up, but lunch time is not enuf time.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
It would be great if you could record a LogCat log (if you have root please see the first post in this thread)

You can tap on settings button on MiniMap and adjust the size of the map.

You can select from several included skins or draw your own skin.

To apply your skin Long tap on empty space -> Skins -> Custom skin and select your own picture.

Please share with us your results.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Please write me at a.kurapov@gmail.com if you have time to periodically test Allwinner version of FCC Launcher. I still don't have an active beta-tester with AllWinner device so I can't work on AllWinner integration.
[Android Head-Units] Oldpapa49:
When I get to work I will send the email. Willing to work with you on this. Looks like t8 is getting popular
[Android Head-Units] royalhawk2002:
I'am sorry but I don't have root

I don't see anymore the MiniMap widget…. I remember that playing around with it I pressed something like "Hide"

surely I will do when I will reach an acceptable result!
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
You can click on Map shortcut in all apps drawer and it will appear again.
[Android Head-Units] royalhawk2002:
Do you mean "Google Map" icon ? I searched within apps but I didn't find anything. I saw also in the setting -> hidden apps list but there is no shortcut to it
[Android Head-Units] WarSpaz:
For me brightness is also not working. Got a witson 4gb, px5 (mx mcu) android 6. Bit also other apps like lux and car launcher AG cant change it, only in mask mode, which is beyond useless. Its like the system wont let apps change brightness, or it got a different value on these units

[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Yes, I have some idea on this.

hey speed,

been testing the release channel on my android 8 unit.

Functions work great, but one thing bugs me.

Running Malaysk rom and editted the MTCManager to whitelist the FCC service and process.

Though it still runs after wake, it is unresponsive, meaning no widgets function.

If I remove it from both lists the launcher will start after wake but clock stops running :(

Dunno if a log would help you figuring this out?
[Android Head-Units] Xorit:
seems like the clock issue changes after a pwr cycle - but sometimes the widgets resize and clock widget ie resets to without seconds after wake
[Android Head-Units] royalhawk2002:
Ok I did it. There is any possibility to show another gps app in that frame instead of Google Maps? I.e. I use Sygic as navigazione app

Hello [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

I have just taken delivery of my android head unit, a px5 Oreo 4g unit, and have heard good things about this launcher so I downloaded it. Please be aware I have always been Apple oriented, and this is my first ever android device, so didn't know what a launcher was until I read up on stuff!

I simply searched the play store for FCC car launcher and then installed it.

It took me through a nice little start up wizard asking for things like what colour highlites I wanted, which skin I wanted, which players I was going to use. Seems really simple and and great. Then it just left me with a. black screen and and arrow (which when I clicked it, gave me the option to buy the pro version).

What am I missing, what happened to all the choices I made.mi expected a default ready to go home screen.

More than happy to pay you for a great app, but I at least need to see it do something :)

Ben
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Hello Ben!

Probably the launcher has not been granted with permission to add widgets. I've recorded a short screencast on emulator to show it.

Important checkbox during first setup:

https://gph.is/2K3PpnL

Please make sure to check that checkbox "Always allow FCC Launcher to add widgets..".

Full setup process:

https://gph.is/2to7xye
[Android Head-Units] Ben.suffolk:
I shall try again, I think where I went wrong was not waiting after it switches to the android screen to allow notifications. It looked like nothing was happening after I enabled them, so I clicked the back button to get back to FCC.

Will be a bit more patient!

Thanks

Ben
[Android Head-Units] cyverboy2:
The automatic volume adjustment is working fine now :) also the speedometer is showing the right speed even if FCC is running in background!

But another issue occurs: After a call ends, the whole device stays muted. Only restarting the device is bringing back the sound again! This only happens, when FCC is active, no matter if running in foreground or background. If FCC is completely off, everything is working fine, device is unmuting again after call ends.

Could you pls take a look at this topic?
[Android Head-Units] Ben.suffolk:
Ok

I have managed to get it working, not sure how exactly but I cleared the app data a few times and re ran the wizard and after about 4 or 5 goes it worked as per the video, so all good.

I clicked on hide map for the mini map in the right hand pane as I had accidentally got a widget under it, I think it moved there as I was dragging another one around. Anyway how do I unhide the map so I can see it again?

Edit: I figured it out, there is a map app to run :)

I know it's difficult but maybe when you have the time. Can you look at the folder icons when creating a folder on home screen.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Can you please show me your home screen and explain what's wrong with the current implementation. This may help to do it better.
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:

Great [MENTION=1633144]speedfire[/MENTION]!!!! As soon as I can, I try it in the car.
[Android Head-Units] Ben.suffolk:
So today was my first real time using my new head unit and I had a good 100 Mile drive as well. I'm going to upgrade to the paid for version, just need to sort out adding a payment card or something to the play store!

I have a few questions, and a suggestion for an improvement. Lets start with the suggestion. I'm using the DAB+ modified app by [MENTION=7838245]realzoulou[/MENTION] which you have integrated already. But what I'd like (and this will require an enhancement to the DAB+ app first which I have suggested in the relevant thread) is to be able to have a widget which is essentially just start the DAB+ app and tunes it into a specific station. So to listen all I need do is press a single link and don't even need to leave the home screen.

If there could be some other integration as well, like the station logo coming up into the art work window, and the station name / program description text displayed as well, like the track name would be that would be really nice. I don't know if that again needs it to be published by the DAB+ app like the other music apps do, or if that already happens and you need to pick it up?

Anyway if you and [MENTION=7838245]realzoulou[/MENTION] could work together to make that happen it would be very nice.

The question I had was around displaying the speed limit. It does not seem to do it for me, is that because the data is not available in the UK, or do I need to have some other app installed that can provide the data to FCC (e.g. do I need to install something like open street map)

A second question, I See it can connect to ODB (which I have, and have had a quick play with the Torque App). What does FCC use ODB for? IS it to get the current speed, rather than using the GPS signal?

Anyway keep up the good work, and I shall be asking more questions as I keep playing :)

Regards

Ben
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
This is mostly depends on DAB+ developer. If it has some inter-app commands (Intents) which can start particular station I may add this.

Probably there is just no speed limit data in OSM app for your region. You can check this on OSM site.

You can add FCC's OBD2 widget and check what data is available. Speed (independent from GPS data) may be available too.
[Android Head-Units] ExecutorX:
I need help. I just download the app on the phone today to test but it didn't work. The whole screen was black and only the purchase button showed up. In addition, it downloaded a bunch of widgets to the phone and I had to uninstalled it. Samsung S7 Edge with latest Android update
[Android Head-Units] Ben.suffolk:
I guessed that would be the case, good to know that you will consider adding it if the dev updates the app for it. I have posted in the relevant forum asking if will consider adding that feature. It would be really handy if it was.

I have had a look on OSM and it seems the data is there, you can't actually see it via the OSM web interface, but OpenStreetBrower adds in a data layer that takes the OSM data to display it. Could it be that its in MPH thats causing the issue?

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 PM ----------

Sounds a bit like the issue I was having, have a look at post 1273 where there is a video showing how to set it up. It took me a couple of goes to get it to work correctly on my head unit.

Hey [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

Am using FCC for a week now on my mtcd.

Modded the MTCManager to leave FCC active when device is going to sleep.

Now, when I start the car the device comes back from deep sleep and usually FCC locks up, not responding on presses.

As a work around I let tasker execute FCC restart to restart the launcher.

May it be possible to investigate if FCC is waking up correctly after sleep?

Many thanks for ur great work!
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Hi! What was the particular reason to keep FCC active during sleep? Actually it is designed to go to sleep together with the head unit and wake up with it. I would suggest to exclude FCC from the white list (at least temporarily) and look what happens
[Android Head-Units] Xorit:
Actually i use a none kill MTCManager mod which doesnt kill anything.. so currently i cant exclude it. ;)

Before i tried what you suggested, but the clock didnt wake up and the added 3rd party weather widget locked up instead.. sometimes the seconds on the clock widget were removed.. assume that the method of killing harmed the FCC settings..

Would be cool to have an option for a kept alive launcher, which doesnt lock up.

No kill mtcmanager

I agree. But this is hard to reproduce such bug without a device. Can you record a LogCat log of a wakeup process?
