[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
3.144 is the best yet !!!

So much more is now working as expected, and reliably.

ie Switching between QuickPlayers, and the text & artwork updating.

There are still a few quirks, but once known about, they can be dealt with by the user, but it would obviously be nice if they were fixed.

(1) Basically, Now, switching between Quickplayers seems to be working well, text & artworks are updating (by notifications ? etc etc).

Sometimes there is a delay, but eventually it catches up.

Note: This is switching between Quick-players (that I ahve selected . Radio, Poweramp & Blackplayer) work well with the Player Widget . Some of the other known Quick-players still have some issues with displaying their changing information in the Widget,

(2) Once my current selectable players ( see above) have been selected once, thereafter switching is 100% OK.

(3) 4th Player remains as option, once one has been selected, even if other Quickplayer 1,2,3 are selected. :) (Thanks)

(4) 4th Player remains defined after a FCC restart, if it is selected at time of restart. If it was NOT selected, it is lost.

Would be nice if it did not get lost :)

(5) Issues with Backup-Restore

(a) Backing up to Google drive, also saves a backup on SD card ( did not think it did that in previous version, maybe it did)

(b) 1st Restore does not fully restore all widget parameters.

Requires a 2nd Restore, and then all is correct.

This was fixed a few versions ago, but seems to have broken again.

I tried to make a video showing the above, but it messed up and did not record.

( I need to work on getting a good, reliabe screen recorder !!)

One nice thing when I was making the video :- the selected player had a scrolling text, and by watching how jerky it was, one could tell when the restore process was fully finished---(and then scrolled smoothly). It seems that widgets are restored in the order that widgets were originally placed on screens, and last edited, so the current screen may appear to be restored, but other screens may still be restoring in the background.

When restoring, it would seem good practice to let the process completely finish BEFORE touching the Screen...

So what would greatly help, would be a popup on the screen that tell you it is currently restoring, that changes to a "Restore Complete OK" when the restore finishes.

The BACKUP notifications are VERY GOOD.. they do this, and stop you from wanting to mess with the unit, until the backup is complete.

The same for the RESTORE would be of benefit.

The last few Betas (Alphas) have made great progress .. obviously a lot of hard work was involved .. so thanks again SpeedFire- :)

BTW: If you are not a programmer, you may not realize just how complex the FCC launcher is..

it is probably one of the most Complex apps on Google Play !!

An added complication, is that it is required to interface & work with so many other apps. (That are regularly updating and being changed by their developers). So the design, coding and maintenance of FCC is a truly amazing feat. As a software developer myself, I can appreciate all the work that has gone into FCC, and I give the strongest professional respect to Speedfire- for such amazing work.
