I've had FCC v3.442 premium(still my favorite launcher)installed on rk3899 Android 10 for a while now and runs flawless except I can only back up to Google drive. I'm bench testing a dasaita px6 10. I will donate again when there is a new mostly stable update release if it's a big one. Thanks for your work.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Just as a hint @SpeedFire- ,

Since the alpha12 version, Fcc does not overtake the custom background image for buttons. I always have to adapt each button after an update. Not a big issue, but needs to have a look at.
[Android Head-Units] bettuccio:
I have installed test 13 on the mobile phone. The backup in the memory of the mobile with Android 11 works while on the Cloud it does not! Actually it worked even before on the mobile phone. It is on PX5 that it did not work but now I cannot test yet, I do not have the car with me . As in the previous version, the compass and car widgets have disappeared. Also when trying to change wallpaper, FCC Launcher crashes.For you all , Instead how are reboots going to you now?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Here is another possible fix for Google Drive backup / restore: fcclauncher-3.442_test14.apk

Please check
[Android Head-Units] pepiho:
Version test 13 doesn't save backup on SD or GoogleDrive. I created the Backups directory manually, but it doesn't save anything.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I can't reproduce this issue unfortunately. For me it works.

Please add more details (make more steps from my quoted post).
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
@SpeedFire- , I will ask you something

I don't have azny doubt about your programming skills, because FCC LAUNCHER is AMAZING and GEORGEUS

But as a Customer, i'm expecting that the software options (like backup) works

I'm ready if you agree of course to check the portion of code that makes the backups (local / gdrive) and restores

If I can help with this it will be done with pleasure if this can help with your workload with FCC

That will be nice if the developpers community could help with some bugs to bring the task easy for you
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Thank you for suggestion.

All I need is the ability to reproduce the bug on my device or as much data as possible about the bug including LogCat logs (if the bug appears only on some specific devices which seems to be the case here).

No one seems to be tested the latest alpha test14 (which already includes some fixes).

The information that backup doesn't work in some version is indeed valuable, however it doesn't provide any information which helps to solve the issue.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
I'll try to get a logcat and back to you soon !
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
@SpeedFire-

Saw this in the logcat :

FYI: When returning to launcher (with tactile home button or android home button or return button) it keeps asking which launcher may be used as defaut launcher.

FCC test14
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Thank you!

Based on LogCat it looks like the launcher cannot create folder and write file to your SD card.

Please check that you've granted access for the launcher to write files to disk.

Also please check does this folder exist or not /sdcard/Download/Fcc_Launcher/Backups/

GDrive backup should work (because this method doesn't use SDCARD).

On Android 10+ devices backup files are saved to AppFolder in GDrive (this is because of one of the recent Google restrictions) which is invisible for user. However app can upload and download files to/from this invisible folder. You can check this by trying to restore state from GDrive.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Thanks for your analysis @SpeedFire-

I'll create manually that folders, but I know that FCC has all the rights in my headunit !

I'll keep you in touch (if backup succeded after manually creating folders "Fcc_Launcher/Backups/"
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Here is a test with AVD (french)

Backup to SD failed

[Android Head-Units] kramttocs:
Atoto S8 with the latest test 14 both SD and Google Drive succeed. I can see the SD card files but do not see the Drive files. When clicking to restore from Drive it does correctly show the ones I sent there.

Where do these live on Drive?

I have an older FccLauncherBackup folder but they aren't in there.

Nice work!
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Wow, so if it works for you, it means that i have some problem with permissions ?

This chinese Android radios are very strange
[Android Head-Units] kramttocs:
Seems like it.

Besides the db being locked (maybe mine does this also or maybe dependent upon config/widgets?) I see a lot of permission errors like:

Caused by: android.system.ErrnoException: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied)
[Android Head-Units] kramttocs:
And I'd missed this comment from SpeedFire~:

"On Android 10+ devices backup files are saved to AppFolder in GDrive (this is because of one of the recent Google restrictions) which is invisible for user. However app can upload and download files to/from this invisible folder. You can check this by trying to restore state from GDrive"

That explains why I couldn't see them.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
I found this in my init.rc

Maybe this can help to extend FCC's compatibility with chinese devices ?

Or adding the following to the FCC manifest ?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Most likely this is still an Android 10+ restrictions that somehow do not allow to write even into Downloads folder. I will try another option to do this soon.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Oh thanks @SpeedFire-

I forgot to mention that my Android is rooted, I don't know if this information is relevant here or have something to do with FCC behaviour !
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Root does not influence this.

Can you please check this test15 version: fcclauncher-3.442_test15.apk

It is half-baked. So it should create backups in /sdcard/Download/Fcc_Launcher_Backup/ (please check using any file explorer)

But it can't see and restore them.

If it actually creates backup on your device I will continue to work this way to be able to restore.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
test15 tested

Backups both GDrive and local = OK

FYI: this version stills asking for default launcher (normal or split) when returning home !
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Does it ask every time when returning home or only once after install?
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Everytime
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Can you please record a LogCat log of 2-3 such restarts in a row?
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Of course, will do that tonight
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Backup / restore should work here: fcclauncher-3.442_test16.apk
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Yes it works good

Didn't have time to caught logcat for the "always ask for launcher" issue, sorry, will do it tomorrow !
[Android Head-Units] dutchmaster18:
Excuse my ignorance but is there a way to transfer my paid version of the app to another device?

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Sure. Just log in the Play Store under the same account. Your purchase is attached to your google account.
[Android Head-Units] dutchmaster18:
Yes,,, I tried that. And I get an error saying "You already own this item"
[Android Head-Units] dutchmaster18:
That worked thanks for your help
[Android Head-Units] mclellan83:
Tried doing a search and didn't see anyone, but curious if anyone is running this on the Joying 13.3 unit? I had downloaded this a few years ago and played with a little, but the way I was running my setup it didn't really work out for me. But now that I got a new unit and I really hate that it shows a generic car that is stuck on KPH instead of MPH I am thinking of giving it a go again. Just wanted to see if anyone had any experience before I gave it a go

[Android Head-Units] Nightwish1976:
Hi.

First of all, let me compliment the dev for a very nice car launcher, I love it.

Apart from that, I wanted to report a couple of possible bugs.

1. The media widget gets stuck sometimes, it just shows the same song/album art, even if I change the track; also, the same widget sometimes doesn't show the song/artist info; all these problems are temporarily fixed if I restart/rebuild the widgets;

2. The artist/song animated band included in the same widget only shows a part of the data (if it's a long title);

3. I registered on openweathermap.com, but the weather widget doesn't accept the code;

4. On startup, the system shows the original launcher, even if FCC is the default one. If I press the home button, it immediately switches to FCC.

PS: using a music player named AIMP on a ZXDZ_01 Android 10 head unit.

Thank you
[Android Head-Units] egrudina:
Hi,

Thank you for a great app! I've been using it for a few years. But recently I've noticed a problem with my parking cam - when I drive back the cam screen is opened but it's black. I can see the manufacturer's color/brightness setting button but no picture from the camera. Is it possible that FCC could cause the issue?

To check this I tried to uninstall FCC, but I managed to find and uninstall only "FCC starter" and "FCC plugin", it seems the starter still here.

Please advise.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
I don't think that FCC can cause this, as I had exactly the same and it was the cam app (chinese) that lost the settings (video type etc...)
[Android Head-Units] pepiho:
It's not the fault of the FCC launcher. I get this randomly in CarLauncher too.

Dasait Android 10 Malaysk Full rom.
[Android Head-Units] IllogicalCpt:
Hi, just installed this on my PX6 headunit (ford focus) and it's working a treat, the only issue I am encountering so far is regarding the Bluetooth, I get an error when I got into settings and tap Bluetooth advising its unavailable... not quite sure why that is? Can anyone suggest anything?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Thanks! I am currently rewriting all the widgets. Player widget will be one of the next. I hope such issues will be resolved.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Hi, will you have a time to record a LogCat? I really want to get rid of this bug.
[Android Head-Units] Jenson_P:
The test16 version fixed the home button issue on my device! Thanks a lot for this!
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Wow. Please confirm this again after some days of test. Can't believe this is fixed :)
[Android Head-Units] Jenson_P:
I only had to set FCC as launcher once after the update and chose the "normal" one always, not the splitscreen one.

Then after pushing the home button again after opening apps, everything was fine. Let's see if it stays this way 🙂

I'm still running it on Android 8.0 on a PX5 and updated directly from the last Google Play version to the test16.
[Android Head-Units] Ericang:
Hi @SpeedFire-

Test 16 still not able to fix splitscreen home button issue
[Android Head-Units] EJOK2:
I tried to customise the player media buttons but now it only shows a flat background of the buttons. Does anyone know how to get the original buttons back? " Restore default" does not work. I really need help with this one.
[Android Head-Units] daemondee:
Hello @SpeedFire-

I can confirm that for me, the latest test version 16, fixed the home button issue too. Also both backup works. My unit is CSN2, real android 10.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Great! Thank you for the feedback!
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
It looks like I really need to redo the Player widget :)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I have an idea for a Split screen mode. I will try it soon.

Thanks a lot for the videos!
[Android Head-Units] Ericang:
Thank you so much

I wait for your version for split screen !
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Please check this version: fcclauncher-3.442_test17.apk

I would ask everyone who uses test16 version to check this one as well.

Does it restart on home button press in normal / split-screen mode?
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
I haven't read much about the TPMS plugin so i am guessing its something i am doing wrong. With the plugin loaded and TPMS running I get no data. On the TPMS app itself, perfect. Any instructions I can try please? Thanks
[Android Head-Units] tonimontoia:
hello, I tried to update to version 17 posted yesterday but it doesn't let me update I have to uninstall the previous one why does this happen? thank you
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
What has it said? It should have allowed to update.
[Android Head-Units] tonimontoia:
unfortunately it doesn't allow updating the first time it happens
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
TPMS widget works with Chinese external USB-TPMS dongles only (maybe not all of them). Like this:

View attachment 5345661
[Android Head-Units] bettuccio:
True, I have this Chinese but the oldest version from 2016 and it works perfectly. I take this opportunity to ask SpeedFire if it can increase the notification time from half an hour to a minimum hour .. I have a sensor with low battery and it gets annoying every half hour to remove the notification.
[Android Head-Units] bettuccio:
it would be better if you have the option to disable the notification permanently
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Makes sense.. I completely disabled warnings for Low battery and Lost signal (these messages still will be visible on the widget) in this version: fcclauncher-3.442_test18.apk
[Android Head-Units] wifi7501:
I have installed beta 14,

but it doesn't let me install the 18 beta. he tells me that the file may be corrupted.

why?
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
@SpeedFire-

Same on my side. App is not installed on top of the previous versions.

Even a fresh installation with the beta 17 and 18 does not work on my unit.

Attached log files from update to beta 17.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I tried to change compilation tools to support the latest Android S+ preview.

Here is a test19 version with a previous compilation tools: fcclauncher-3.442_test19.apk

Please test
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
The 19 works so far as update from 14 towards beta 19.

Thanks for your fast support!
[Android Head-Units] Ericang:
Hi @SpeedFire-

The home button still pops up the same issue
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Do you have a root on your device?

Can you please record a LogCat log (see the first post in this thread)?
[Android Head-Units] Ericang:
i dunno if i had done correctly
[Android Head-Units] bettuccio:
version 19 now installs on top of 14. On mobile there is still the problem that when trying to change the FCC Launcher wallpaper it crashes. I noticed that the compass and car widget have not been added yet and until they are added again I will not install version 19 on my PX5. I like it too much and can't help but see it. At this point I can't test if TPMS now no longer rings every half hour but I trust it has been changed and thank you for it I know it's not easy to please everyone but I hope that in the next version you will insert the widgets that worked again before . Good job.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Thanks for trying. Well, this log is too small (normally 1 minute of log will result in 1-2 MB log).

Please make sure that you've included the most "deep" level of details - Verbose.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
What do you mean by "car widget"?
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
I see. So the Xtrons TPMS is not supported?? Shame!
[Android Head-Units] bettuccio:
the widget titled "image"
[Android Head-Units] bettuccio:
on my PX5 I entered my car. On the other hand, as regards the vector needle speedometer widget, how did you propose, are you working on it or do you think it is useless?

Backup/restore works perfectly for me on t16
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Yes it seems to be solved since t16 for me also !

But t19 stills asking for default launcher when HOME button is pressed !
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Yes! This one is good. Congratulations, now you can record proper LogCat logs.

I will look into it in details soon.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
You're creating the best launcher available I've ever seen ! @SpeedFire-
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I didn't find the exact reason for this Home button issue (because I can't reproduce it on my emulators) - please provide more details what OS version and devices you use. Is it only with a Split screen version selected?

In this version I've made some changes. One of them - I completely removed the "black screen with a logo" showed while Launcher was loading. Do you like this version or the previous one? Which version seems to load faster?

Will try tomorrow morniing, here in france is 01h06am June 25th
[Android Head-Units] Ericang:
Hi @speedfire

I am using Android 10 Snapdragon 625

So far only this version 3.430 is working perfectly on split screen without home button issue
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I've finally reproduced the issue on Android 10 emulator! Thanks.

Now I will try to find a way to fix this (hopefully)
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
And you will, you're the best !
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Not everything is possible unfortunately.

It looks like there is a bug in Android 10. When 2 activities in one package can be Home activities android doesn't remember any as a default Home activity (in Android 7 for example everything works).
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Ohhh, is it possible to disable a home activity programmatically ?, if yes you can bring a poput at first launch to choose the normal or split version, and disable the unchecked one !
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Hm, because of this Android 10 bug I don't know what to do to support both split-screen and normal version.

I have a suggestion. Here is split-screen only version. Those who like normal version can you please test it? Based on my tests it works good (almost identical to the normal version but launcher is visible in the Recent apps list). Can you live with this or not?

fcclauncher-3.442_test21.apk
[Android Head-Units] bettuccio:
I have also installed the test version 20 on my PX5 Android 10. I can also confirm that the backup is working both in the SD and in the Cloud. The black screen when loading the Launcher seems to have disappeared, TPMS now no longer emits that annoying sound every 30 minutes and here I assume that Speedfire has totally eliminated it or it seems to me that it had said so in previous versions .. for the "image" widget of which I was speaking, I only understood after it was deleted and integrated into the "car icon" widget so I can add my car as an image instead of the logo. On the other hand, the crash that occurs during the wallpaper change only happens on the mobile phone with Android 11. On PX5 it doesn't happen.

For now I am not using split screen I have read that it has problems.I still have to test well if the default Launcher prompt is gone every time. I have to say that Speedfire is slowly solving the problems and I congratulate him
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
I confess to still running 16 as 17 or 19 will not install. With or without 16 installed. Anyway, new issue for me, is that the TPMS app opens on its own without me asking it to and takes over as the main screen. Pressing Home does send it to the back but on restart it comes back again. Also I was using the widget for the multi player display and when I went back to Poweramp, the internal player loaded instead. I rebooted and the internal player came up first. Only happened once. I am not fiddling now until a release version becomes available.

A question. Can I remove the compass from the map. I really don't want it there.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Yes that's fine, I think that you may release two versions (split / normal)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
There should be only one version. So we need to find some option which is fine for all.
[Android Head-Units] bettuccio:
oggi ho provato meglio la versione di prova 20 e mi sono accorto che il widget "bussola" non viene visualizzato in home page. Si può dedurre che il problema riguarderà anche la versione di prova 21. Ho anche notato che la richiesta predefinita del Launcher è presente di nuovo ma è capitata solo una volta in un'ora di viaggio.
[Android Head-Units] bettuccio:
the widget is the one on the left under TPMS, as you can see it is not displayed.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Anyway the split is as option and not mandatory, so you can release this one I guess !
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Thanks for your great egoism. Appreciate that. (n)
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Sorry friend i didn't want to hurt
[Android Head-Units] Ericang:
OH MY GOD !!!!!!!!!!!

ITS FIXED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
I personally can live with showing Fcc in the last apps.

But as I am not the one and only using split screen on my big screens, I can only speak for myself.

Depends on the other user which are not that happy to have it in there... for any reason.
[Android Head-Units] okij:
I personally can not live with FCC Launcher being shown in recent apps.

The reason is that I often use double-tap on recents button to switch forth and back between two apps, e.g. navigation and music player. It is really disturbing and distracting when instead the laucher is shown.

IMHO launchers should never ever show up in recent apps, the only way to bring them to front is the dedicated home button.
[Android Head-Units] Ericang:
One issue i observed

When i always go back home

The media player will clear off the title and artist display
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I still had some issues on Android 10 with test21 version (it reloaded on each home button press).

Here is a test22 version with many changes in this area, please test that it works good for you: fcclauncher-3.442_test22.apk
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
test22 seems to work perfect, at least for me

Would like to see TPMS plug-in launches automatically (in background) if at least one TPMS widget is in use (or calls the activity)
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
Is it not possible to have the TPMS widget work with the Xtrons set? Can an alternative be selected in Factory settings? Cheers
[Android Head-Units] wifi7501:
trying these beta versions I noticed that often the images of the streaming radio or the media (spotify) do not appear in the center of the display, why?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
TPMS service is started in the background if at least one TPMS widget is on home screen. You should see the updated data on TPMS widget (this means that TPMS service works).

If you want to launch the activity (for what reason?) you can add it to the auto-launch list. See System settings - Autostart
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Each manufacturer makes its own app which is hard (or sometimes impossible) to integrate. You can send me your TPMS apk.
[Android Head-Units] Ericang:
THANK YOU !

So fari haven enounter any issue !

Will monitor more

Another job well done ~!!!

Thank you very much ~

look forward for new updates on this version ~

Thank you @SpeedFire-
