Hello [MENTION=1633144]speedfire[/MENTION] .

I have a question. The round player and pcradio and some other online player have some very very very low images. When I want to use it in the new UI it's looks so pixel . Is there something to do about ?

What do you think of this Image ? And I think better to have the text not in the image . Because of different images and colors. Hope you like it to.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Probably you are talking about PCRadio. It has a very low quality album arts even in the app itself. I apply enhancement filters to it, but.. if the original image is really bad you can't do it significantly better (we don't talk here about neural networks). So, the only practical way is to change your player to some other which uses better graphics.

Nice idea. I will think about it. Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Added these two new layouts (one with horizontal and another with circular progress bar):

Jesus this is getting nicer and nicer all the time. It's a shame the summer car is the only car w/ this on it. I may have to put it on my android VM to play w/ it some and do some more work.
[Android Head-Units] sanangel:
Would it be too much to ask if you can share the wallpaper?

In his car is very good for the blue colors, but my Passat would look fantastic in red.

Thank you and sorry, I do not want to demand or abuse.

I wrote a solution above for the radio. You need to read that and follow up on it. This is no issue on Fcc side, it´s related to the fact that the unit starts it by itself and for now there is no solution to get this stopped.

The light issue is not understandable for me. That works with all MTCE units. So please check the settings as I wrote.
[Android Head-Units] pepiho:
Thank you, the radio is working now. I bought the NavRadio + app, but had to turn off the radio in the "factory reset - devices" settings.

I've tried all combinations of brightness settings, but not the working. I set a side touch key to control Brightness, it works.

Thank you for your help.
[Android Head-Units] jmckeejr:
Brightness adjustment doesn't work for me either, maybe something with newer units that come with Android 10? Mine is MTCE_GS_v3.56_3 (June 15, 2020). Only way I'm able control brightness is via the quick settings tile or I've made a shortcut with Automagic that sends root command " am broadcast -a com.microntek.irkeyDown --ei keyCode XXX ", where I replace xxx with number of swc button retrieved from mtcd tools. It just cycles through preset levels though, would love be able to have automatic control or even +/- control. I've tried turning off automatic brightness on factory settings, ive tried an app that controls other mtcd devices brightness by gps time, nothing works. I have root also but still nothing works. If there's anything I can test to get it working let me know, I've been messing with Android devices since they first came to market and even built ROMs, themes, and scripts. But the way these units are set up confuses me, some things controlled by MCU while others controlled by Android system.

The frequency in fm does not appear normally. 88.00 is displayed as 2246 etc. Also the name and logo of the station are not displayed. 8227L YT9213AJ android 10.1 says but it is oreo. The transition from the steering wheel controls to the fm also does not work. They turn on the player or the internet radio. Possible solutions;
[Android Head-Units] careloads:
I have a similar issue only it seems like whatever the last app was open at shutdown is what switches back and forth on startup. Pumpkin PX5 running Hal9k 4.2
[Android Head-Units] pepiho:
I turned off the original radio application and replaced it with NavRadio, now the launcher function is excellent.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Hi developpers, is it possible to add a widget that show mobile network signal strengh ?, 4G, 3G others ?
[Android Head-Units] buffaloquinn:
Wondering about the car arrow pointer/icon in the mini map. Seems like on an earlier version if I clicked on change icon it went to a select icon pack screen. At the time I didn't have a set installed so I couldn't do anything. Now I do, but clicking on change icon no longer does anything. Did something change?
[Android Head-Units] jmckeejr:
So I had an older copy of fcc launcher on a USB drive from my old head unit, I installed it and the brightness adjustment works fine on that version but after play store auto update brightness adjustment doesn't work. I uninstalled and went back to old version but fcc launcher crashes sometimes now. Any way I can take some kind of log that would help figure out why brightness doesn't work on newer version?
[Android Head-Units] pepiho:
What version of FCC do you have on usb? I'll try too.
[Android Head-Units] jmckeejr:
3.220
[Android Head-Units] ggipublic:
@SpeedFire- , experienced users

I am using latest FCC Launcher Premium on my Klyde PX6 Tesla-like 1920x1080 screen (vertical mode).

I created a new page with no skin with a custom 1920x1080 wallpaper but I cannot place widgets at the bottom of the page (looks like there is a below threshold at 4/5 of page height preventing placing them below).

More, on the music player widget I have to press the "RadioFM" label twice / three times to have the standard FM player starts (others "dab-z", "spotify", run at first press)

Any help will be appreciated.

Ciao
[Android Head-Units] pepiho:
I can ask for the download link 3.22 or 3.225 (offline map version). I don't want a dirty version from the internet.
[Android Head-Units] jmckeejr:
I wouldn't be able to share mine because it's a paid version I just happened to make backup on my old device.
[Android Head-Units] ashensii:
So what is the situation with deep integration of FF-5000 / MTK 8227L ? I found out some discussion about deep integration last summer but for me for example FM-radio don't seem to work properly at widget.
[Android Head-Units] gibanica:
Hello,

I downloaded FCC free yesterday, and brightness adjustment doesnt work.

I have

any help pls?
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
@SpeedFire- are you planning a new update in the Google Play Store ?
[Android Head-Units] bettuccio:
I bought the premium version for my PX5 Android 10 but there are some problems to be solved soon. Widgets do not position themselves as they should and do not scale well. It would be nice to add a large analog spedometer widget that you can resize as needed. I still have to try it right for now I just feel like saying this .. When will a new update come out?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Hello,

Here are some intermediate results with a new Alpha - fcclauncher-3.442_test8.apk

Changes:

1) These widgets are upgraded to the new customisable format:

- TimeDigital

- IconWidget

- TripDistance

- TripAltitude

- TripSpeed

- TripTime

- TripParkingTimeLast (a new separate widget - previously was a part of Trip Combined)

- TripParkingTimeToday (a new separate widget - previously was a part of Trip Combined)

- TripStreetname

- AccVoltage

- VoiceWidget

- SatelliteWidget

- RamWidget

- SpeedLimit

- PageWidget

2) Yandex MapKit migrated from 3.5.0 to 4.0.0

I will continue to upgrade other types of widgets, some of them are quite complex as Player Widget.

Please give a feedback how new widget work as well as the app itself.
[Android Head-Units] bettuccio:
Ho provato un po 'la versione 8 di prova sul mio telefono Android 11 e ci sono ancora problemi di ridimensionamento dei widget. Oltre a ciò ha rallentato molto nella chiusura dei widget. Ho un telefono molto potente con 12 GB di RAM .. Prima di dire "se sei sviluppatore" puoi inserire un widget del tachimetro "Analogico con la mano" no digitale ". Mi fido del tuo lavoro.

Stasera proverò questa versione in il mio PX5.
[Android Head-Units] ric69:
Hi I installed beta8 , it seems launcher restart each time I'm trying to "edit" a widget (long press on it) I tried altimeter and RPM widget but If I remove it and create a new one , it's fine
[Android Head-Units] tonimontoia:
same as me reboots over and over after trying a widget
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Can anyone provide a LogCat log?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I've fixed some issues in test8. Please test this -> fcclauncher-3.442_test9.apk
[Android Head-Units] Anufre:
How do I do that?
[Android Head-Units] tonimontoia:
ok for now the little tried works well, thanks for your work
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I noticed that in test8 and test9 all style selectors were broken.

So here is the test10 with the fix -> fcclauncher-3.442_test10.apk

I hope that now you will be able to test all the widgets' customisation options.
[Android Head-Units] bettuccio:
I am trying test 10 and I have to say that now it is better with widgets. Only sometimes it happens that the scaling sliders do not exactly match the touch but overall it is much better than before. I bought this Launcher because it integrates all the tools inside that you have to install separately such as assigning custom actions to the steering wheel controls or the volume control based on speed without using a specific apk (which no longer works on Android 10). The automatic start of applications after sleep is also important (included only in the Rom mods) but the waiting time should increase a little to at least 5/6 seconds because there are some apks that take longer to start. I have yet to find out more about this Launcher after which I'll give a more certain assessment. Camera ruler view doesn't work for me. Always keep developing, thank you
[Android Head-Units] Zabzd:
Good day.

After upgrading to test10, the Compass widget disappeared.
[Android Head-Units] bettuccio:
you're right, the compass is no longer there .. "Speedfire" you find yourself correcting, you also add an analog spedometer 😜I know I'm repetitive ..
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Sure. All the "analog" type widgets will be added in the next test versions: Analog Time, Analog Speedometer, Compass widgets.

They are very similar by their nature so they will be added together when ready.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
In the test10 version you can select custom delays between apps in autostart (from 1 second to several minutes).
[Android Head-Units] bettuccio:
very well. Hope the widget will be big enough to look good. Can't wait to try the latest improvements and fixes. Good job
[Android Head-Units] pepiho:
No backup is possible in my HU with Android 10. Loading backup is not problem. I use version 3.442 FCC from the market, there is no problem on a tablet with Android 10, it is not possible in HU.

HU / FCC has a problem with creating Folders, the offline map could not be downloaded, I manually created the MBTitles folder and then downloaded it.

But backups don't work.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Test10 keeps asking for default launcher every time I push the home button in my HU

Also TPMS add-on doesn't start automatically (in background) like it should be if at least one TPMS widget is active

Joying uis7862 unit
[Android Head-Units] ric69:
Are you sure you select "normal FCC launcher" and not split screen?

With test10 it's possible to edit widget thanks

Can I suggest to add USB Odb2 also?
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Hi fellow, whedre can I fount that setting ?
[Android Head-Units] ric69:
I mean when you push home button, it asks for several launcher? 1 normal fcc and 1 fcc splitscreen? (I had same problem using "fcc split screen" that's why I ask but I can be wrong)
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Ok I will try to see it now !
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Thanks for explanation !
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
@SpeedFire- can U take a look at the TPMS plug-in (auto start if at least one TPMS widget is present ?) please ?
[Android Head-Units] Ericang:
I am also having this problem

This issue has been on going for me for a long time.

i really hope @SpeedFire- could resolve this

I am sorry i am still unable to provide a "LOG" as i am unable to "root" my Headunit
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
I will rollback to no test version as it is asking me ALWAYS for the default launcher
[Android Head-Units] jmckeejr:
I try new test version but unfortunately had to go back to 3.22 so brightness controls will work with my device. Would love to use newer version, is there maybe way to get compatibility? Not sure what would have changed from older version to new but all versions I've tried besides 3.22 doesn't work. My unit is xtrons px5 (4/64) with Android 10 and MCU is MTCE_GS_V3.56_3. I can get logcats but the only errors I get are occasional errors with notification handler (when pause and play music). In both versions I use same settings for device
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Do you mean that brightness widget worked in 3.220 and then stopped working in later versions?

Does volume widget work for you in the latest versions?

Can you send your /system/apps and /priv-apps folders?
[Android Head-Units] ashensii:
Almost offtopic but does anyone have fcclauncher compatible fm-radio app for 8227L / FF-5000 headunit? I've read that some have managed to get radio widget working with this headunit.
[Android Head-Units] pepiho:
I can confirm in version 3.220 the brighdness control works great. But, this version does not have offline maps.
[Android Head-Units] bettuccio:
Speedfire, I ask you if someday it is possible to develop a tools that can open all applications in a floating way like the old "Skyolin module" did. I don't know if it depends on Android 10/9/8/7 but it would be nice to integrate it into your Launcher or do it separately to be able to launch a map and adjust to your liking directly from the edges on the home of FFC Car launcher without xposed and root .. Do you think such integration is possible especially on the PX5 ?

This may be just an idea that needs little consideration. For now, a more stable version of FCC Auto Lancer is fine for me.
[Android Head-Units] jmckeejr:
Yes exactly, brightness and auto volume/volume widgets work fine only on 3.22 (I've set no auto update).

Edit:

Here's just the "system/app" and priv-app folders.

Volume widget works but not brightness widget or auto brightness control on newer versions.

any news for the release of a new version?
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
Test10 unusable for me on my PX6. Lasts about 30mins before fully crashing and entering the setup phase. I hope this is short lived experience as running stock for now. :(
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
Anyone else having issues when hitting the home button it reloads fcc every time?
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
sorry duplicate, cannot delete
[Android Head-Units] 2ndjobmoney:
I'm mainly using split mode.

In split mode, icon and widget size automatically change smaller in screen size but it's small to see

Is it possible to add options that do not change widget and icon size (size fix)?
[Android Head-Units] HatManSan:
2ndjobmoney. With so few people wanting SS I doubt your wish will be granted. Having said that these HU have such abysmal screen resolution I don't see the point. However you need it working you need it working.

Very much looking forward to the next stable release.

[Android Head-Units] wifi7501:
Hello, I have audio volume problem.

turns down by itself, even if the speed-based volume function is turned off.

why?
[Android Head-Units] bettuccio:
yes, I also noticed this instability. SpeedFire should review its operation sometimes the volume even goes up to 28 but it only happened on 2 occasions.
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
Nobody? I even fully uninstalled/reinstalled. Installed an older version and the problem is gone so it has to be this latest version i would assume? What is the latest STABLE version? I'm a beta tester and unfortunately that is all that is showing in the app store.
[Android Head-Units] matt1602:
Hello! First of all thank you for the great looking launcher!

I want to use it on headrest, and i set it up, its all good but i cant get the screen to go off?

i have enabled dev. options for stay awake when connected, but when auto goes off i want that tablet go off as well.

thank you for your answer and time!

;)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
OK. My MacBook is back from service with a replaced battery so I can continue to work on the Launcher.

What were the main issues with the latest test versions? The most common is the launcher restart on Home button press right? I will try to investigate this but this is one of the hardest issues to find.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
In split screen your launcher window is switched from landscape to portrait mode. In the latest alpha versions I added separate icon size values for portrait and landscape modes so you can set them independently. Just change the icon size when you are in a split screen mode.

P.S. on a release version this feature has not been added yet.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Here is an alpha version with a possible solution for a Home button reload behaviour.

Please test: fcclauncher-3.442_test12.apk
[Android Head-Units] jmckeejr:
And whatever method you used for brightness control on 3.22 would be great to have option to implement on newer versions. Some others said it works for them also. I would pledge an additional donation for this
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I looked at your files. Can you upload your stock Launcher apk? Probably some other folder /data/apps/ or something.
[Android Head-Units] nhas81:
follow the same problem
[Android Head-Units] bettuccio:
In test version 12 the car widget disappeared, I also noticed that the resizing of the widgets got worse again. As I said, it would be nice to implement a vector speedometer widget with image of the hand moving like this ..

[Android Head-Units] bettuccio:
or more minimalist that the needle / speed indicator moves in real time..

View attachment 5327659
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
What about launcher restarts?
[Android Head-Units] nhas81:
Still there
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Can someone show on video?

Please also show that you use test12 alpha version.
[Android Head-Units] nhas81:
I have chosen to remove the launcher at the moment, I have many problems with sound volume, factory reset, and problems with the music widget. I paid for this launcher and I have been very happy with it but now I cannot be with those errors, I will reinstall it when everything is fixed
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
What version have you used? Alpha, beta or release?
[Android Head-Units] nhas81:
beta and some alpha that you have uploaded here, the only one that I did not try was the stable one. what difference is there from stable to beta?
[Android Head-Units] bettuccio:
at the moment I have installed test version 12 only on mobile but I use this launcher mainly on PX5. I just noticed what I wrote, on reboots I didn't notice and I don't think I will use this test version on PX5. Please take the time to release a stable version, we will all be happy and I also recommend the widgets. Thanks in advance ..
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Hello

No solution to save parameters ?, I have "FAILED" trying to save locally and GDrive

Also, I saw that, in the player widget, the albumart is ALWAYS the one of the previous listened music, I'm using DEEZER MUSIC
[Android Head-Units] bettuccio:
Yes, you are right I too have tried to make a backup of the settings on my Px5 car stereo but it fails miserably both in the Cloud and in the device memory. SpeedFire has to take a long time to fix all these glitches.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
@SpeedFire- ?
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Gents... it makes no sense to ride the same horse day by day.

SpeedFire is working on Fcc beside his full-time job. He will give some updates as soon as he can.

By the way... I have 3 units working here... 1 PX6 with A9, a PX5 with A10 and a PX6 with A10.

On all units the backup and restore is working great on SD and Google Drive.

Make sure you have a folder named "Fcc_Launcher" in your download folder. Inside the folder Fcc_Launcher you need to have a folder named "Backups".

Please check that.

...and finally, this is a screenshot from my Google Drive.

View attachment 5329093

Seems that the issue is not on Fcc side. I´m using the last available test build from Fcc.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Oh sorry, I didn't know that (about SpeedFire)

Ok I will try that in my TS10 unit

Many thanks for that tips !
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
I did the test

FAILED for local and GDrive

using 3.442 (play store)
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
I´m using 3.442_test12 and most of the former versions.

How is the Download folder look like?

Is it called "Download" as you can see in my screen shots?

At least the correct path of the Download folder would be /storage/emulated/0/Download.

Check that and if the Download folder is mounted anywhere else, you need to give this information, to enable SpeedFire to get this added.

May be a try to create a folder in the written path could help here... but this needs to be verified by you.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Yes friend, thanks for that I'll go to check that tonight

But i Think that doing something like:

File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS), fileName);

May solve the problem (if different paths in differents units) ?
[Android Head-Units] bettuccio:
we are not rushing to SpeedFire but simply reporting all the bugs of his work so that he can have all the information to build a definitive stable version. I remind you that I bought this Launcher and I wish it worked well. However, I also said to take his time. Then if he wants to add new functions, new widgets he is free to do it or not. Anyway I will try to form the folder that you recommended. I thought that the folder was created automatically for this I had not thought about it. I will try and tell you if your help has been effective.

Thanks Friend
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
That's right, now he can take his time to fix'em, the most important is to report the bugs (for his @todo list)
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
I think most of the user in this thread have bought Fcc, but as you should know this is work in progress.

Unfortunately there are tons of different units with different behavior. To fix something for a not fully supported head unit needs the help from these user. Instead using an old version undermines his work.

So... if you guys have any not supported unit, he needs a complete log file and a proper formulated issue report.

As long as he is not able to test all things on all different units, he needs your personal help. Otherwise he needs to send best guesses instead of fixes.

Nearly once a week there is another new unit in the market and he should not be able to buy any new unit, right?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Based on the latest comments I see that some of you have issues with backups.

Previously the were issues with Android 10+ devices due to the additional restrictions introduced by Google. However they are hopefully fixed in the alpha versions (and probably still exist in release version).

I've just tested local backup on Android 11 emulator and it works fine.

Therefore I need additional information from those who still have issues.

How to help with this bug:

1. Install this alpha version and test it: fcclauncher-3.442_test13.apk (there were some additional changes made to the backup process in this alpha)

2. If the issue still exists let's start with a local backup. Describe what device do you use (especially OS version) and what error do you see.

3. Describe what steps do you do (in details) so I can try to reproduce the issue.

4. If you have a root access on your device try to record and upload LogCat log (see the first post in this thread for instructions). This is the most useful part.

5. Videos are also welcomed.
