Just an update on development

Several weeks ago, i had a monkey wrench thrown at me and i had synced up the git repository for GCA Launcher, something had gone terribly wtong and i loat 48% of the code with no traces of any backups. I had lost all the progress i had made in the previous update. Least to say, i was not a happy camper and it wasn't reversible however i could rewrite everything.

I've decided to take a break to relieve some pain and anger from the mistake i made. I did learn that not to rely on git for backups and make a secondary physical backup nearby. Right now, im working on a new companion app for wallpaper management. Its going to ve a remake of my wallpaper app Drywall thats currently on the playstore. It will also act as a replacement app fpr Google wallpapers. It will be the default wallpaper app in GCA's next milestone update which is currently being planned.

GCA's next update will release sometime after 2020. Its going to be a large update.

The amount of users i have right now using GCA Launcher kinda blows my mind and i will continue to improve the experience for everyone as long as its supported by its users
[Android Apps and Games] Nx Biotic:
Development of Version 2.0 has started. Again, the approximate eta is sometime during the first quarter of 2020. I have began designing a revised user interface for the homescreen experience.

Apart of the version 2.0 experience, i built a brand new wallpaper manager app as a companion for the launcher experience. This app can also be used on other launchers but I designed it for GCA. Its currently released as a beta and its very functional. The part of it that makes it a beta is a lack of content. I would like all GCA users to migrate to Drywall as their wallpaper companion app as it will be transitioned to in the 2.0 update.

I've created a small survey for GCA Launcher users to fill out. I'm collecting emails so i can follow up on anything i may have questions about or more info on about a request or whatever the case may be. V2 is a full rewrite and I'm converting GCA launcher into a fully featured launcher experience for Android 10.
[Android Apps and Games] Nx Biotic:
Just an update on the project. There is still no release date for version 2.0 but things are coming along with the rewrite. Here are some screens from development.

Here we see the first look at the new companion page, a revised navigation menu, the new sheet menu brining multi-purpose features and Groups(folders) feature in concept design.

I'm currently experimenting with individual icon editing as well. Its become a core feature requirement over the years and figured i would tackle this in GCA Launcher V2 with the new sheet menu. In the preview, Icons have their adaptive backgrounds toggled to show proof of concept.

There are alot of changes i have planned and hopefully it'll make a new launcher experience we will look forward to this year.
[Android Apps and Games] Nx Biotic:
Just an update on development.

I am almost done with basic functionality of V2 desktop interface. Once that has been accomplished, the betas will slowly inyroduce users to the new experience of which will get me some real time feedback of the new update before i officially publish the new update.

In the preview below, the launcher is showing off its revised Shelf and Desktop interface. The Shelf will support up to 12 favorties. This was decided so that tablet devixes were properly supported and the empty space that would be, would no longer be. By default, its 5 favortie apps that you can set. On startup, you will be able to select these 5 favorite apps. The Shelf is no longer apart of the drawer which creates a newly designed app drawer you'll grow accustomed to. It can be accessed via a swipe up gesture, clicking the carret indicator or using the all apps action button in the shelf actionbar. The search functionality will be reworked so itll be its own entity and wont freeze up the app drawer. Search will be focused around the idea of a global system. Actions will still be accessible from this area as usually with a revised system. Shelf favorite apps can be modified from where they stand and the icons they represent. Right now, i plan to release V2 with what i like to call focused customization. Focused means limited and functional. Icons are apart of this focus. You will be able to toggle an icon pack theme for the said icon or tweak the adaptive icon traits. Later, i will bring customizeable icons.

GCA v2 will bring a sort of folder feature called groups. You will be able to create list of apps you can access from a side menu sheet. These groups will have several customizeable traits to them. Mini app drawers if you will.

Apps will have a new menu based on the side sheet bringing new action shortcuts and compatible app shortcuts.

The launcher settings will be revised to be faster and more responsive to changes.

Better icon pack support expected along with android10 extra support.

Il have a full blog post on the V2 update when a release comes sooner

Project update: 02/24/20

Things are going accordingly to plan. However, I planned for the beta to be active by the end of the month however that's not going to happen because of a few things happening in the background.

I don't wanna say to much about the project but its looking pretty awesome. Improved predictive apps, improved smooth scrolling, improved drawer tabs, reworked notification listener and badges, new app sheet and more.

I will open a new thread for V2 as alot will be changing and anything regarding V1 will be disregarded.

[Android Auto General] cubic25:
Hey all,

I have a Oneplus 6 running XXX Rom and a 2018 Fiat 500X with the factory Android auto head unit.

My wife has an LG G6 that is stock.

With my phone, I have to clear android auto data and cache every time I want to use the app. If that doesn't work, I have to delete the app and re-install it. If I don't do this, Android auto won't start up. If I don't go through this process and just plug the phone into the headunit via the USB cable, the headunit just thinks it's a USB storage device and tries to play music from the phone, only to display, 'device not supported', on the screen.

My wifes LG G6 works almost every time, but is very very picky with which cable we use. If we use the cable supplied with her phone, AA will drop out after a few minutes. If we use the OP6 cable that came with my phone, it will stay connected for the entire trip.

Based on the fact that it works with her phone, I'm guessing that the issue is with my phone. How do I fix it? :confused:

Sometimes, my phone will tell me that AA is connected and running, but there will be nothing on the headunit.

Anything I can try?
[Android Auto General] marchnz:
What does the dealer/dealer support suggest for these Fiat issues?
[Android Auto General] cubic25:
Haven't approached dealer as I would like to determine where the fault lies first. Pretty sure it isn't the unit though, as other phones work fine.

I have MIDI selected on the OP6, with USB debug on. I think I have tried everything and it just won't connect more than once per install.
[General Questions and Answers] yuricw:
Hello folks,

I'm going to buy a new smartphone and I need one that is capable to play x265 videos smoothly and VR videos as well. I'm not into gaming and the VR are just for videos. I don't intend to spend much money as well.

Looking for some models that match my criteria’s and budget I narrowed down the list to Xiaomi Redmi 6 OR Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite. The first one is cheaper and my preference.

I was ready to buy the Redmi 6 but then I noticed that on the official website on the Redmi 6 specs it doesn’t quote x265 or HEVC or anything like that and it doesn’t quote the gyroscope as well.

It’s awkward for me because the chipset Helio P22 used to assemble the Redmi 6 has support for x265 decoding according to the official Mediatek website.

Is it possible for a smartphone assembled with Helio P22 doesn’t play x265 videos even it being native on the chipset?

Accordingly to some websites, a gyroscope is essential to have a good VR experience, but that wouldn’t be just for games like “Pokemon Go”? Would Redmi 6 play VR videos great or the lack of gyroscope turn that impossible (or produce a poor VR experience)?

I would appreciate a lot if some could lend me a hand, especially Redmi 6 owners because I didn’t want to pay more for the MI A2 Lite. I’m just willing to pay more if the Redmi 6 is not good enough.

I also accept suggestions of other models and brands that fit my budget.

OBS: Play x265 is ESSENTIAL for me. I’m not going to buy a device that can’t play x265. The VR is a nice feature that I would like to have, but not as essential as the x265.

Hello! I recently got the Mi A2, and I've loved it so far (except for issues with upgrading to 9 from 8.1.0, and not being able to flash back) and I decided to try out the Google assistant for the first time, it works fine when my phone is unlocked, it does everything, but when my phone screen is off it doesn't work? It'll listen when I turn the screen on and it's still locked, but if I have to grab my phone to turn the screen on it defeats the purpose of a voice activated assistant. Is this an issue with android pie, or is my phone just broken?

There are magnetic wireless mounts available, but my experience had been mixed. I just updated my review on Amazon of this device, from 5 stars to 2 (awaiting approval of the update). It was great for the most part, but the big issue for me was the inconsistent charge rate vs heating whilst charging. Sometimes it charged well, without heating much. Other times it was the opposite. I think performance was heavily influenced by exact positioning and the exact position needed was not repeatable every time.

I have a similar charging dash mount from Mophie installed in my car right now that has worked well with my Galaxy S8+ as a mount, but I never ran the wires for the charging part of it. I have Mophie's desktop version as well that I have on my nightstand for nightly charging and it works well to charge the phone through the Mophie magnetic case, so it is possible to have magnetic mounting and wireless charging in one unit. Unfortunately, Mophie canceled their ChargeForce line a while back so I won't be able to get a compatible case for my S10+ and I'll have to switch to the Scosche or some similar system instead.
