- Download apk file of Agama (e.g. from apk pure)

- Open the file with 7zip on your PC or on your mobile phone with MiXplorer.

- Replace one of the existing logos (png files in assets\logo folder. Choose the same filename as one of the existing files.

- Sign the apk with zip signer https://zipsigner.de.malavida.com/android/

- Install the apk on your head unit

- Select the car brand you replaced the logo for in Agama settings.

- Ask the Agama devs to add the selection of a custom logo as new feature.

Hello friends. I installed AGAMA launcher on my audi a4 b8 with a 7' android unit, because I don't like the original factory launcher. The problem is that after starting the unit and starting AGAMA, the built-in bluetooth A2DP module does not initialize and my BT phone does not work. Launching the BTPhone application does not work independently. It is necessary to start the factory launcher. The solution for me is automatically launch the original factory launcher in the background along with AGAMA. Then bluetooth phone works, but it takes up unnecessary space in RAM (I have only 1GB) and the unit is slowed down. How to initialize bluetooth A2DP without launching factory launcher? Is there a solution for this situation?
[Android Head-Units] TorstenH:
Install QuickShortcutMaker and check if you can find BTPhone application. It could be also part and so just an activity of another app.

If you found it try if it's enough to start the app/activity BTPhone without the original launcher to connect your phone.

If it works post the details of the activity here. QuickShortcutMaker has an option to share the details of an activity to do this.
[Android Head-Units] jerry1402:
Maybe I was a little inaccurate. My English is not good. The BTPhone application can be launched without the starting factory launcher, but it still says "searching" and I won't connect to my smartphone. I think that the initialization function of the bluetooth module is implemented directly into the factory launcher.

Maybe the factory launcher could be automatically killed somehow, for example 10s after starting the system, as soon as the bluetooth module is activated.
[Android Head-Units] TorstenH:
Do you have access to Bluetooth setting in Android settings? Would be interesting to see if your phone is listed there.

On my head unit I can find a Bluetooth activity in Settings app via quickshortcutmaker or by using the search box in Android settings.
[Android Head-Units] radiotrib:
Unforunately the seller is a German company who refuse to give me access either to the original formware or the support address off the OEM supplier. Xomax ae definitely not a good company for supporting devs or hackers.
[Android Head-Units] jerry1402:
Unfortunately, I dont have access to bluetooth in the settings. Bluetooth in the unit only works as a handsfree or streaming music from the phone (A2DP). I tried to connect an external usb bluetooth dongle, but the unit can't see it.

The BTPhone application in Quickshortcutmaker has only one activity - the main BTPhone application.

There is probably no other option than to starting the factory launcher together with AGAMA, to turn on the bluetooth module.

I also can't add a shortcut in AGAMA to switch to the original Audi MMI interface. I have to switch to the factory launcher and press here - car info.

The head unit manufacturer probably didnt expect anyone to install a third-party launcher.
[Android Head-Units] TorstenH:
Try to find Bluetooth in the settings application. Please note that the settings application appears in the language you set. E.g. if you set German the app will appear as 'Einstellungen'.

The uint was purchased via amazon and the support is from the supplier in europe ... they refused to help by supplying the original firmware. I think they are only a front end distributor for OEM white box products .. and this particular combination of processor, board and SOC is just not showing up on any of the searches I have done ,,, I almost gt the feeling that it is a tabnlet hidden inside a car audio box ... the hardware sun8iw15p1 points to it being an A50 SOC ... ( https://linux-sunxi.org/Allwinner_SoC_Family ) ... which fits the spec reported by AIDA64 ( https://linux-sunxi.org/A50 ) ... but I'm still no closer to finding any kind of solution .. I really think I need to root the device and tinker with the formware .. but I'm not going to do that without an original ROM to use as a rescue/backup.

The system spec from the firmware sees it as an A23 chipset .. but it's a 4 core, so it could also be an A33 (pin compatible with A23) but that would normally expect the hardware to be sun8iw5p1 ... It's all so very messy

and thanks for talking an interest @TorstenH .. I really appreciate your patience.

Hi

I'm using this launcher on my PX5 unit and like it so far:D

But I'm having small issue with the auto brightness control. It's working fine but only in the launcher itself, when I choose an app through the launcher, the screen switches to full brightness when oppening the app. That's pretty anoying. E.g. I'm using myTuner as the radio app so it will open when I press the radio button. But it opens with full brightness even though the brightness is low in the launcher:rolleyes:

Anyone with the same issue???

Btw. I'm on the trial version ;)
[Android Head-Units] TorstenH:
Which type of brightness mode is set? If you use the overlay mask it can't work for other apps and dims only Agama itself.
[Android Head-Units] murerlars:
I'm using overlay mask because Android tools doesn't seem to work🤔

Hello,

I have this unit: YUNTX Android 10 Autoradio - [4G+64G] - [Integrado CarPlay/Android Auto/DSP/GPS] - Octa Core (https://www.amazon.es/dp/B08XM7C5BR?tag=nextauto-21&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1 ). In BT it appears as AWC5847

I have installed a new launcher (Agama) in the car radio unit, because it is a more powerful and configurable launcher that the original that comes with the unit.

And i have 2 problems (in fact, one problem in 2 applications).

I have installed the Agama app and I cannot use neather the analog radio FM nor the Phone whit Agama. If i assign Radio FM application to the Agama radio button, when i push the button nothing happens and the FM radio of my stereo car device is not started. The same with Phone application.

It seems like if Agama cannot manage the built in applications of my DIN2 stereo device, only the Android aplications.

I have a shortcut for radio and another shortcut for phone in applications wardrobe, but if i assign it to one of the launcher button, it does not do nothing, the radio or Phone is not openned.

If i push my steering wheel radio or Phone button, it works; if i push the button of the original launcher that comes with the unit, it works, but it does not work with the launcher. It is like the original launcher block the radio and the Phone, unless i have put the new launcher as the default launcher.

If i download an alternative application (like Navradio+ or True Dialer), it is a partial solution, because the application starts with the launcher button, but i cannot manage it with the steering wheel buttons, like if the steering wheel buttons for radio and Phone were Block by the system launcher application.

1. Is it a normal problem? How can i solve it?

2. How can i manage the car stereo unit sytem builtin applications (basically, analog radio and phone) with Agama launcher, like i manage the others applications?

3. I dont know if i have root access to the unit. But if not, please could you tell me how can I have root access to the car unit?

Thank you.

[Android Head-Units] Bentacayse:
Hello friend, I have a possible solution. On some radios, agama may have problems with the pre-installed applications. That's why agama has a pack of shortcuts that may possibly solve your problem. Here I leave the pack, try it and I hope it can help you. Similarly, on its official page there are instructions for this problem. All the best!

Since updates of Agama Launcher and/or Poweramp, the latter doesn't function the way it used to do. Before I just had to press the music player button under the clock.

When I turn my car off and back on again Agama relaunches each time. I was hoping it would just replace the stock launcher and behave the same way, and be running as soon as the unit is powered up.

Is this normal behaviour?
[Android Head-Units] TorstenH:
This is the normal behavior because the head unit kills Agama before entering sleep mode. I think you enabled sleep mode even you're not mentioning it.

Depending on your head unit you can try to use

Thanks for the speedy reply. I'll check out that link you posted.

My unit is an Xtrons so should I have sleep mode enabled or disabled?
[Android Head-Units] TorstenH:
Don't know anything about Xtrons. Sleep mode means your head unit is up after 1 or 2 seconds without booting.

Ah ok. Yeah I have sleep mode enabled in the head unit settings. I thought you were referring to sleep mode in the Agama launcher settings. I wasn't sure if I should have that on or off.

Great launcher.

Some ideas for the future ?

Maybe the digital clock on top can be replaced by radio app info like the music player ? There is the analog / digital clock in the middle already.

No need for another clock for me.

Album covers work with the music player.

I use Pulsar Musicplayer and it works great, for me one of the best.

Of course you'll have to add album covers to the album mp3's first using a prog like Mp3Tag on the PC .

I was searching if there is a possibility to add my own car logo but I have no idea where the files of Car Launcher AG are stored on the unit.

Can't find anything of the app in the filemanager ?

Anyone an idea ?
[Android Head-Units] Kheissi:
For me I could choose my car logo from the settings menu.

Clock in the middle can be changed to speed, album cover or car logo just by touching it.

I would prefer to have media controls upper part of the screen and clock below. It’s hard to touch the bottom of the screen for me, because of the deep frame.
[Android Head-Units] japioothuis:
Yes, I know but my logo ( Abarth ) is not on the list.

I have an issue with covers not displaying on the front screen of Car Launcher AG.

I can see the covers in Pulsar and Poweramp though.

However, when I use Pulsar, I do not see them on the front screen.

When I use Poweramp, I don't see them as well.

What am I doing wrong? :(

Is there some setting that's not right?

[Android Head-Units] Terje_N:
Do I have to open the test program site from my android car head unit to get in the test group right?
[Android Head-Units] ste2002:
I hope no - do it from your PC/laptop - your Google account should do the rest. Then just update app on your HU from Playmarket. Should work this way, but it is only my guess - I did not apply for beta testing myself yet.

Later edit: works both ways.
[Android Head-Units] Terje_N:
I had Car Launcher AG on my Android 6.0 QuadCore car head unit, and it worked very well.

But I did a factory reset(reinstall) of my unit, and reinstalled the Car launcher AG.

After the reinstall, the button for APPS is grey and inactive, and I'm not able to link anything to it.

And the wallpaper just work on some few of the wallpapers.

Any idea of whats wrong and what to do?
[Android Head-Units] ste2002:
Terje_N, clear CL cache/data in apps manager. If this does not help, simply remove app and reinstall it.
[Android Head-Units] Terje_N:
You was right...

I just registrated on my computer, and then when I start my car head unit and hit the Car Launcher it ask for to update to meta test.

I did, and terrible things happend.

The screen got black every time I tryed to do any setting changes.

Had to turn off the head unit and restart it.

And when I klick the buttons for everything, nothing happens, just got message "Press long press for settings"

But when I did, I inly got the button logo big in center but nothing happend.

Got no settings.

So I have left the beta test panel.

It looks very nice, so when it is released, I think I'll install it.

[Android Head-Units] japioothuis:
I installed the beta on my tablet but it's crab. Many setting still does not work but the old layout is much better

Much more tabs to go configure.

The Volume slider is useless in a car unit, most of the time they have hard buttons for volume.

Etc. still lots of work to do but I don't know why, for me, the old version was perfect, only some bugs has to be fixed.

He only have to make the old version better.
[Android Head-Units] ste2002:
>> I installed the beta on my tablet but it's crab.

When we install app in *beta* state, one could not only expect it to turn out to be "crab", but even semi-prepared fish or even worse :p.

V1.5 is very limited functionally, no multiple apps assigned to each button (long press works in 2.0), no voice icon on home page etc. Anyway you can unsubscribe from beta testing and reinstall V1.5.
[Android Head-Units] japioothuis:
Yes I know, you are right about that but the simplicity is just what I like in the car.

Not too much on the screen. For me it's enough to have buttons to launch the music player, radio, Navigation.

That's enough to drive safe. Not to much tapping on buttons while driving.

Only the date would be nice in the digital ( on top ) clock, enough space.

Hello everyone,

I had tried the “Apps” button and viewed in both normal and revealing mode, yet both app cannot be found.

[Android Head-Units] ricanbandit:
CLAG is my launcher so far it fits my needs well. I have poweramp selected as the main music player and it works out great. This is on a Dasaita V800 PX5 10.2 inch on a jeep Wrangler with the Cherokee canbus selected not sure if that makes any difference
[Android Head-Units] crl0901:
I have mine setup nearly how I want it. The only issues I have are I'm using an external drive (non-SSD) to store all my music and it takes about 40 seconds to a minute for Android to scan for errors. While it's scanning, I can't play any music, so I have to hit play after the scan is done. Ideally, I'd jump in my car and the music would play automatically as soon as I start it.
