Many thanks for testing with that widget.

Having seen your Video, I realize that I should have tested the weather widget, by putting it on the Home page, so it was always visible while Fcc was loading. (Duhhhh )

I will do some more testing, stating off with just a simple one screen, and building it up, to see if any one item, is causing the delay.

Maybe, after 2 year of evolution of my screens, I should start fresh, and create them all again with the current FCC, and without all the widget edits that have been done over the years. although I would hope that that should not make any significant difference. :confused:

I am not rooted, but if I am able to ADB connect to my head unit, will that allow me to get any useful LogCat ??

(Not had much luck so far with the ADB to the Eonon .. no problem to my Samsung Phone )

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

It seems that you did just a "FCC restart" after android booting. What does it happen when you perform a cold-boot (complete android boot) ?

In my side, there is not problem with "FCC restart" as all widget were already loading. But it takes a significant time while cold-boot (by turning car ignition)
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Yes, the problem is when the head unit is doing a full boot.

I temporarily modified my screen, and put the Weather Widget on the home page. Then AFTER this, I modified the Google Voice Icon, (left side below the clock - text size is too big I know)

Then I re-booted.

There is the delay while the Weather Widget loads, and then afterwards, the Google Voice Icon updated, which seems to mean that FCC is waiting on the weather widget (or weather APP), to get Internet data, before FCC continues loading and the screen becomes responsive. (set current player to radio, so as soon as radio starts playing, I think one can assume that FCC has finished loading) .... or has it.

If I had been playing a MP3 from USB drive, which had scrolling text for Artist or song, that Text will be jittery for about 3-4 minutes, and then become significantly more stable.

I am assuming that during this Jittery period, Fcc is Busy, doing "something" and hence the text scroll is jittery ??

Video - Cold Boo

t

Note: because FM radio was selected, no scrolling text, so that aspect is not demonstrated in the above video.

Also, notice Satellite widget Text size. Starts off BIG (original defualt), and them some time later, updates to the later edited smaller text size.

So, Maybe 90 seconds is not too bad for a Cold Boot ? --- but about half that time is FCC loading ?
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
90 sec for a full reboot??? :confused:

That is much too long for a PX5.

If it would be half the time... okay, but 90 sec is unacceptable.

I think you now are able to use ADB, right?

I think it would be a good hint to see what is currently stealing the CPU load you could give it a try to use this command while the unit is in this strange status:

ADB connect 192.***.***.***
ADB shell top

You will get the current CPU usage of the unit.

It´s a "screenshot" from this moment.

A new "Top" command (just use the arrow up button and enter) will refresh the output.

May be helpful for getting the behavior analyzed.

Not been able to use ADB "yet" on the Car's unit. last Time I tried I could not get communication, but I have learnt some mistakes I was making when I finally successfully ADB connected to my Samsung Phone. I was also able to get an ADB Logcat from the phone, which is not rooted, not sure if that is right ? I thought a device had to be rooted to get a logcat, or maybe that is to get a Logcat with an App ? ADB has Logcat permissions and access built in ???

Still very new to this, knowing just enough to be dangerous,

I will try again with the car over the weekend.

Thanks for your help, tips and advice :)
[Android Head-Units] kramttocs:
As I found out recently, you don't have to be rooted as long as you have adb access. If you install logcat extreme and then connect via adb you can grant the necessary permission to that app specifically (same goes for Tasker logcat). You may have already addressed this but if you connect the headunit to your laptop does it not show any devices? On my Atoto S8 I had to go in Dev settings and change the USB mode before the laptop would recognize it in adb.
[Android Head-Units] ab1702:
Have you thought about putting a custom rom on your unit? I have the Hal9k rom and it’s brilliant. It has root built in and then it just gives you extra options for your unit also. One of those being able to whitelist apps of your choice so that when the unit is off then that app will not close. This may help your unit to start up faster. If you’ve got a px5 i can’t really see any disadvantage to installing a custom rom. I’ve never used a malaysk rom so cant comment on that one.

App drawer inconvenience

[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION], I have updated to the latest beta from the Play Store and discovered that the app drawer no longer goes underneath the status bar (thank you for that), but that the app drawer is now organized on alphabetical rows. That's horrible for me since without these rows all my visible apps fit into one screen, which is no longer the case in this setup. I tried to find the option to revert to the old layout but was unable to. Please advise. Thank you so much!
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
OMG !! I was just Googling this (USB Mode), and not having much success, so I went to catch up on the forum, and saw your new post !!
[Android Head-Units] kramttocs:
Hopefully that will be the golden ticket for you :good:

On my unit the option was via the 3 dot menu on the top right when on the Dev Options screen. Both options were in Chinese but switching to the inactive one made the laptop recognize it.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
I do not seem to have that option on my Eonon, and am concluding that this Eonon Head Unit has got ADB disabled. I can live with that.

I am thinking of trying to add support (deep integration) to some new popular devices.

Who has a device identified as FF-5000?

I have some questions:

1) Is Fcc Launcher deeply integrated with your device (can it control brightness, volume, fm radio)?

2) What device do you have (please give a link to a store - AliExpress or something)?

3) Do you have a root? Do you know how to get a root access?

4) If you have a root can you please send me all apk-s from folders like

/system/priv-app/

/system/app/

/data/app/
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Just had a look at these FF-5000... these are the old 4-core units with 1-2 GB RAM and mostly Android 6, right?

The seller are just trying to sell them with fake Android 10 in the moment to get rid of them I think.

I don´t see them as new... but okay. Fair enough, if you want to get them integrated.

What´s about these units:

RL7A MCU PX6

STM32 MCU PX6

S32FO MCU PX6

Intel SC9853 i chipset

These are a lot of the Tesla-style units from different sellers.

I can deliver the files for those SC9853i and RL7A units.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Fair enough. FF-5000 is some 8227 MTK type of units. According to statistics there are lots of users with these devices.

PX6 and SC9853 are also interesting.

I think I have files for SC9853, but don't have for PX6. Please send me
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
This will be fixed in the next version. Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
HI [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

I sent you a PM with the needed information and the apps.

I appreciate if you would have a look if it would be possible to get Fcc working for these units.

Thanks a lot for your great work and the open ear for anything.

If you need additional information, please feel free to get in contact with me.

I just changed the unit in my car and the PX6 is now available on my bench.

[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

Just another feature request:

Would it be possible to get a multi select functionality in the all apps view?

Reason:

I have tons of apps which are related to functions I never would use, or are not for this unit.

To hide 57 apps one by one manually is really annoying, if you are testing and often reinstall Fcc.... and yes 57...
[Android Head-Units] kramttocs:
It would be great to see deep integration with the Atoto S8 (ok, yes, guilty, just because it's the one I am using... :))

Not sure if anyone has root yet but someone recently posted this if it helps: https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/android-head-units/atoto-s8-contents-t4134015

I sent you a logcat a couple hours ago that hopefully shows a fc when repeatedly clicking the dimming widget. First logcat I've ever done so let me know if I botched it.

Also it might show that when the status bar is hidden on the home screen but visible elsewhere sometimes (more often than not) when I am in the app drawer and click the home hardware button the home screen is pushed too far down. I can slide it up and it stays.

Thanks a lot for getting the tpms widget working again!

[Android Head-Units] tonimontoia:
I didn't blame FCC, I just warned, but do you always take it out on me, let me know who you are Captain Hulk?
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Okay let me say it like it is...

To be honest...

A warning for another firmware has nothing to do in this thread.

A warning should be posted like that:

Guys attention: After updating to the newest Hal9k the system is laggy and we have some problems with software blablabla. I will file a bug report in the related thread

Any things regarding a software should be posted where the software is supported

Think before posting if all relevant information are given. Think about the fact that you mostly don´t get any response on your postings, written in one sentence without further details, screenshots, details what you did....

May be you now learned something about posting error messages. If not... I don´t care.

...and no, I´m called Peter and we all want a clean thread without senseless postings. This one is my last try to help you out.

Think about all this and please don´t answer on it. We will see what you have learned.

Ref: SPlit Screen.

(a) Volume Widget .. Speaker Icons do not show in Split Screen.

(b) Most Widget parameters cannot be edited in split screen mode, which makes it very difficult to design & create a FCC screen, designed for, and meant for Split screen.

"Cannot be edited" = any edit changes are not reflected in saved widget.

Photos of when I am inside of an app or the app drawer for a period of time and then click the home button, the screen still seems to allocate the status bar area and thus the content is scrolled down. Scrolling up works as does clicking the home button again. Photos show the issue (bad), the expected position (good), and settings.

Thanks Scopesys for letting me know about the photos. Went out and made some videos of the things I've noticed lately. Sorry if any of these are redundant reports.

[Android Head-Units] okij:
I can confirm this issue. Please have a look [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION].
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
I mentioned that a while ago too. Happens from time to time, but I have no idea about the reason. I did not find any relationships to this issue.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Scrooling text in FCC has always been jerky. It is NEVER 100% smooth.

It has got better over the past 12 months, but even when FCC has "settled down", the text still is slightly jerky / stuttery.

It would seem to be an indication of FCC being "busy" doing other things, and as it is getting "better", it is indication of improvements in Fcc processing efficiency. ???

When FCC 1st loads, especially after a re-boot, it can be quite significant. After a few minutes, there is a very definite transition, where it becomes a lot smoother, but it is still a little jerky.

It use to concern me, but now I have learnt to accept it, and consider it almost a "feature" because it is an indication of how smoothly FCC is running.

Another "symptom" of this is the fact that the Scrolling text gets reset to the start of the scroll, with any activation or the volume control. Again, something one can live with.

I suspect that if the scrolling function could be put in it's own higher priority thread (I assume it is currently in the main UI thread at the moment), then the scroll would be evoked on a more even rate, and thus not appear to jerk so much. Why it resets with activation of the volume control is unknown to me ( I am not an Android programmer).
[Android Head-Units] okij:
No, that's not the reason & case.

If you look at [MENTION=2850934]kramttocs[/MENTION]'s video https://youtu.be/sjOBGdZroYU, you see that the text scrolls smoothly from right to left, but then abruptly jumps back to the beginning instead of a) smoothly scrolling back and forth or b) smoothly continuing to scroll from right to left and displaying the same text again.

So it's a bug that [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] should look after and not a feature. ;)
[Android Head-Units] Luk@7:
Hi!

I have one of these units and I have purchased the premium version of FCC.

1) Not completely. For example, I can’t control the fm radio through the widget. It seems like fcc doesn't “see” the fm radio.

2) https://www.jfsound.it/shop/it/young/1523-jf-038oca-8059307170581.html

3) No root and unfortunately I can’t find guide/info to get root access.

[Android Head-Units] kramttocs:
I think option B would be the standard approach and the most visually appealing.

---------- Post added at 12:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 PM ----------

Does the auto brightness work?

As well as the volume by speed?
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
It may not be the reason why text, when half way through scrolling, jumps back to the start of the scroll (which I have seen happen, sometimes, but with no clear indication why it happens at some times, but not at others). - but it is not a new symptom, it has always been doing this on and off

So I have also seen this before, and sometimes it happens, and sometimes it does not. When the text is longer that the width of the display box, (so it need to scroll), it seems to depend on the length of that text, vs the size of the box.

ie making the box wider, but not so wide that it still does need to scroll, sometimes fixes the issue. Sometimes long text, that cannot fit in the box, may or may not jerk back, depending on exactly how long the text is... ie some Long text strings scroll ok, some long text strings jump back.

I have also tried re-booting, and sometimes that stop the Jumping, for the same Songs and it's long scrolling text.

BUT:

Everything I said about the jerkiness is valid, as well as the fact that the pronounced jerkiness after a re-boot, then lessens a few minutes after FCC has started.

Also, with reference to the Jumping back to the start of the scroll, when half way through the scroll, while not the same, this also is exactly what "appears" to happen if the Volume control is moved. Maybe it also does the jump back with other, not so obvious triggers..

And -- I will still consider the jerkiness as an INDICATION FEATURE, until such time that it is eliminated, because it does give a really good, quantitative indication of how "smoothly" FCC is running .

ie jerkiness, and jumping = something is wrong .. smoother and no jump backs = things are better ---- and often things are better after a re-boot (and a 2+ minutes wait)

Tried to look up "Jerky Display" on Google, but all I found was masses of "Jerky Display images"

Auto brightness doesn’t work.

I never tried volume by speed but I can do a test in the next few days!
[Android Head-Units] spiky321:
I can confirm the problem with the scroll text. However, I also have the problem that the volume by speed is activated, even though I did not check the box to activate this.

After I quit FCC and started AGAMA-Launcher instead and then switched back to FCC, the text scrolls properly and the volume by speed is disabled.

Auto-Brightness has never worked for me. I use the AutoBrightness app for this.

The Problem on Google maps is the anoying HUGE notification all the time in the background. If i switch off the notifications, then the TurnByTurn Widget doesnt work anymore. Frustrating.

Any advice on getting a generic chinese usb tpms detected by the FCC usb app? It came with my PX6 unit from Rhino Radios.
[Android Head-Units] kramttocs:
If you open the FCC dedicated tpms does it not show anything connected?

Does the StoreBao one work?

Have you tried other usb ports? I know I switched mine to a couple different ones before it was initially recognized. Mine is the Atoto external tpms but I was thinking they were all the same - just branding.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
I added a USB TPMS system to my car, and decided to opt to use the Software that came with it, and not try to have it integrated into FCC

So it is a separate App, that automatically starts when the Head unit is on, and does not rely on FCC to function.

If there is a Tire Pressure issue, it sends a Notification, that displays on the screen, as well as sounding an audio alarm.

Then all I have to do is select the APP ( FCC button) to display the Oem software APP.

Occasionally, I will also run the app just to see the Tyre pressures, but do not feel the need to have a widget on my home screen, trying to show the Tire Pressure status.

I did try the TPMS software integrated in FCC ( TPMS widget), and decided I preferred the stand alone solution. It seemed to be more stable & reliable that way.

BTW: that was over a year ago -- the FCC TPMS may well be more stable now, as FCC has become more stable over the past year.
[Android Head-Units] kramttocs:
So far, aside from the brief time it stopped displaying via the widget (name change issue?) I have had good luck with the FCC tpms.

The only issue I've ran into is that I can't seem to stop the alarm noise. Ran into this the other day when removing one of the sensors to test accuracy. Alarm sounded so that's the important part but I couldn't make it stop without restarting the head unit. Haven't done any real testing being that one occurrence.

Ymmv though based on the tpms hardware used
[Android Head-Units] hocahoon:
Many thanks for the replies guys!

By FCC dedicated tpms, I assume you mean the FCC_USB-TPMS.apk that I installed from this thread? No, it does not show any connections. I have not tried any additional usb ports, but that's my next move. Good idea!

Not sure what you mean by StoreBao, the unit does work with app provided by the manufacturer. I just love the idea of having it on a widget :)
