If you ar writing here I hope you have an MTC device otherwise the merge doesn't work at all.

The logos must be named with this rule:

STATIONNAME_SIDNUMBER.png

the SIDNUMBER is the decimal value of the PI code transmitted with RDS by the radio station, essentially it's the station identification number.

Here you can get some pi codes in HEX:

https://fmscan.org/main.php?qth=Greece&l=22&b=39&csave=2

convert those hex numbers to decimal and add them to the logo names.

Consider sending me the renamed files you make so i can add them to my repository. ;)

I want to share some news about NavRadio+ that missed to write beacuse of lack of free time.

The first news is about the official latest version on Google PlayStore (2.84) where the main change is the addition of a Carousel Introduction guide that show up only at first run after installation and help the new users to set permissions, choose the radio region and explain a bit the first steps through the app.

More than 2 months ago i uploaded NavRadio+ on Huawei Appgallery so that Russian people and all others from countries where the PlayStore is not available, could buy the app.

In the last 3 weeks NavRadio has been rejected by Huawei Appgallery and the full version is not available anymore.

I'm working hard to make it acceptable by the Appgallery rules and I already contacted the Devs support hoping to come to a solution soon.

The last news is specially directed to all my betatesters.

I uploaded a version named 2.85_Vivid that makes NavRadio act as a mediaplayer so it can work with Vivid and all other launchers using all the mediaplayer controls and mediasession.

In this particular version I fixed the compatibility with FCC launcher that had problems.

To use this version with Vivid launcher, it's mandatory to use a special version of Vivid too:

Launcher-5.10.3466.apk

I encourage everybody to test this build as much as they can with any launcher and report me any sort of bug.

I'd like to make this version the new default one so I need it to be tested well.

If a paid user would like to become a betatester to get access to this build, please send me by email the proof of you purchase and your gmail.

Thx everybody who'd like to help
[MTCD Software Development] nitsos:
Hi . I made all station for Athens Greece . I can't make them work with your way. Can you make app to combine stations name with images with only the number if radio station?
[MTCD Software Development] nitsos:
For example radio station 97.50 with image with name 9750.png !!
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
No, because depending on the area the same frequency can be of different stations.

Please send me the files you made so I can check them
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Not these ones!

I need the ones made with NavRadio naming convention:

StationName_sidnumber.png
[MTCD Software Development] nitsos:
I can't find sidnumber of them.
[MTCD Software Development] nitsos:
How convert PI code to decimal?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Hex to decimal converter.

Any calculators can do it.

Even online you can find dozens
[MTCD Software Development] nitsos:
I made one , is that right?

PI is 18B1
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
It should be perfect

Yes, it's correct.

You can also check the pi code in the edit window of that station.

You can also enable the "testMode" in settings/about NavRadio screen, double clicking on the NavRadio icon.

With testMode enabled everytime you change station. It should show the Sid number in decimal.
[MTCD Software Development] nitsos:
I use above image and no logo . What name should use? Program or RDS PS? Capital or not?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
No spaces in the file name! (Android is like Linux)

Capital letter doesn't matter.

On MTC the logos are assigned by sid number first.

If there is no Sid number then it look for the name.
[MTCD Software Development] nitsos:
Please make aan example from this list . I can't make it work!
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Just name the file ENLEFKO_6321.png

Not

EN LEKO_6321.png

Then you have to be sure that this station is sending the pi-code.

Open the edit window anche if it show the Sid number 6321
[MTCD Software Development] nitsos:
Thanks . I will try
[MTCD Software Development] AdekP:
@KoTiX2

Hello. After the last update, the hardware keys on the steering wheel switch radio channels always by 2 positions. Unfortunately, I don't remember if it was a beta or standard update
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
If you are a beta tester you have 2.85d version that need to be tested.

If you don't want this version you have to leave the beta testing stage and you'll get the older version.

Thx for reporting it. This is the meaning of being a beta tester ;)
[MTCD Software Development] tebukan:
Hi kotix. I updated my device. I now own a device with px5. Now px3 is over 😁 The first program I installed was navradio. It's more enjoyable to use with the Px5. After that I share my experience with px5 android 10.For now everything works perfectly. You have done an excellent job. Thank you for everything
[MTCD Software Development] Timpuli:
I can confirm this same "bug" in beta version with PX30.
[MTCD Software Development] pakoner:
and other than that, the app conflicts with the music app
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Please be more specific. How does it conflict?

New "standard" version is coming out today on PlayStore :

v2.85

- Added option to Automatically hide the BottomBar

- Rounded dialogs windows and changed popup animations
[MTCD Software Development] Rudream:
Hello. One question regarding sound notifications from apps running on background during Navradio+ listening on my Teyes CC3. Sound notifications not work. F.e. using app for radars. If I run stock radio or other app such poweramp all sounds is OK.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Please tell me which app do you use for radars?

I'll try to reproduce the problem..

[MTCD Software Development] Sparkhunter:
Hi KoTiX2, I use the full version of NavRadio for many years and love it much. I'd like to replace my HU and I found one but I don't know it is compatible with NavRadio or not. I get this "datasheet" from the seller. Is it enough information to determine the compatibility?

Thanks in advance

Edit: Is NavRadio compatible with Snapdragon CPUs?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
No, you need to know the MCU type/number...
[MTCD Software Development] sandpita:
Hi KoTiX2, any chance you can implement the option of adjusting the output volume like other audio apps?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Hi, sorry but it would be a pain to do it for all different models.

I could probably just adjust the radio volume..
[MTCD Software Development] cheeseybro:
Awesome application I ended up buying the paid version for Logos. is there anyway to update the logo list for California or is there a way to add our own logo? I am in central California (fresno area) and not all logos of stations I would typically listen to are available.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Hi, yes you can add your own logos in internal sdcard/RadioLogos folder in PNG format with dimension 255*255 pixels.

You can also download and extract more than one state, maybe some logos are in the Nevada package or mexico too.

If you have some logos to send me I'll be happy to add them to my California package :)
[MTCD Software Development] cheeseybro:
can you pm me your email address and I can get png's to send to you?...Im sure its easy to add myself but at the expense of these chinese radios and finickiness, i'd rather not do something on my end to brick my radio. Also do you need me to send them in the exact size or is that something you can resize?
[MTCD Software Development] cheeseybro:
I emailed you some png's. Thank you for all you do for the developers community sir!

Says not compatible with my hardware
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Infact it's not an MTC device.

Your MCU type is almost unknown..
[MTCD Software Development] Holyoblation:
Lol, well I'd be forever grateful if someday you port it to my almost unknown device. I'd be happy to provide you with whatever you need... well as for as software, testing and/or money
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Thx but It takes me too much time...(4-6 months) and it's not guaranteed that i have success.
[MTCD Software Development] Holyoblation:
I completely understand. If you don't mind I could try to make it work, if successful I'll send it to you and no one else
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:

[MTCD Software Development] Torok6:
does it work with these?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
NavRadio work on QF01 units starting from version 3.0.

Be careful buying these units, TS10/TS18 are way better.

If you still want QF01 then get one with 7708 radio chip or you will miss some RDS function like RDS text
[MTCD Software Development] Torok6:
Why should I be careful?
[MTCD Software Development] blue_racer:
Hi, love you app on Xtrons IQ (Qualcomm 665) but currently got Xtrons IX series (Unisoc Tiger T618) - was ist possible to get it working on it too? Currently do not work unfortunately :-(
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Hi, I need a picture that show the MCU number of the unit and a copy of the firmware or a copy of the apk of the original radio app.

Thx ;)
[MTCD Software Development] blue_racer:
Thanks for your feedback.

Well those units do not base on MTC, so don't have a "MCU" [as far as I know from PX5/PX67Qualcomm/..] but I may send the Firmware for sure:

https://download.speedy-pics.de/uploads/android/firmware/XTRONS-IX92MTVL+TIX725L(20230608).rar

You also find it in my wiki:

Aktuelle Firmware – Wiki rund um Android-Navis für BMW E38/E39/E46/E53

xtrons.ibus-app.de
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
I don't need the MCU file. I need a picture of the system information screen showing the MCU number.

Thx
[MTCD Software Development] blue_racer:
Kind of this?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
These kind of models are like the s32f0 ones and they have many things tighten to the MCU so that become very hard to control by external apps.

I discontinued supporting the s32f0 models because of this and I will not work on your model for the same reason.

I'm sorry about it but there are too many producers that it's really hard for me to satisfy everybody.

Regards.

Kotix
[MTCD Software Development] blue_racer:
How ever I'm not firm about those "s32f0" units - but thank you for the info.

Hope I will get another head unit asap to use your app again :-)
[MTCD Software Development] Rmvn2490:
I have the Teyes CC3 Unit, anyone found a way to completely remove the radio app that comes stock with Teyes and use NavRadio instead of it? Thanks
[MTCD Software Development] Pavel-71:
You are in theMTCD Software Development subforum. You haveFYT Android Head Units, a possible solution is in the message #2
[MTCD Software Development] Rmvn2490:
You're right my mistake, sorry.
[MTCD Software Development] Sparkhunter:
Dear KoTiX2,

sorry for my repeated question, but I'm still looking for a new HU. Is it possible that any of these stuffs compatible with NavRadio?

And what data do I need to decide if a Snapdragon device compatible or not?

Thanks in advance, regards

Hello, what is number at station logo ? e.g. HitFM_20608 . What is 20608 ? PTY ?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
No, It's the rds ID code (pi-code) of the station in decimal. It's used to automatically assign the logo and for the automatic merge of alternative frequencies.

Hello. I have had a problem for about 2 months. I have a PX6 whit Hal9k and in navradio I have the speed widget activated. It has always worked for me but for approximately two months, when I turn on the driving lights the widget stops showing the real speed. When I turn off the radio and turn it on again the widget works again. In short, the widget is disabled when you turn on the driving lights.

Thanks in advance.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Uhm... weird...

I'll take a look. ;)

Hej. 2 pytania. Jak wyszukać częstotliwość w widoku bez strzałek prawo lewo. Drugie pytanie co jest z equalizerem. ? W ogóle się nie włącza. Ponadto inforacyjnie. Apka Super. Mały bug przy zmianie wielkosci czcionki w nazwie, w niektórych zmienia w niektórych nie. Pozdro.

Mod Edit: English Translation Below

Hi. 2 questions. How to search for a frequency in a view without right-left arrows. Second question, what's with the equalizer? ? It doesn't turn on at all. Moreover, for information. Great app. A small bug when changing the font size in the name, in some it changes, in others it doesn't. Greetings.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Please write in english on this site. it's the first rule of this forum.

If you don't wont to use on screen arrows, simply set the long press of steering wheel commands to do the seek function

Hi.

I use ubiquity widget to see fm station images in home screen.

After latest update I think ,no more see those images in home screen through obliquity widget!

In notification what should I choose to see 'em again, can't remember.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
In NavRadio settings/notifications you need to enable the metadata
[MTCD Software Development] Costalero:
A picture is worth a thousand words. In the video you can see how the speed widget works. In the 4th second I turn on the driving lights the widget stops working. In the 7th second I turn off the driving lights again and the widget continues to fail until I turn off the radio completely. Thanks
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Have you enabled the "darktheme" by headlights in NavRadio settings?

If you did, what happen if you disable it?
[MTCD Software Development] Costalero:
Thanks for the response, but the "darktheme" has always been activated. The failure has been occurring for approximately 2 months. In the afternoon I try to deactivate it and comment. Thank you
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Yeah it probably occurred after I fixed the GPS error message...

EDIT: I can confirm that it was the cause. Now I have to find a solution ;)
[MTCD Software Development] Costalero:
Sorry for the delay but I didn't have the car. I tried it this morning and it already works. I have disabled darkmode. Thank you.
[MTCD Software Development] nitsos:
I saw during installation if you have hal9p rom , you have to deactivate radio app from factory settings menu. Is that right? I deactivate it and have no longer navradio.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
You probably have misunderstood...

You need to go to Settings/Carsettings/ Factory Settings of your unit, access with password 126, and there disable the radio switch.

That will not disable NavRadio, just the original radio app.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
NavRadio v3.08 changelog:

Does this app uses Google Play Services to check the License while it have WiFi data connection?

I've an old 1GB ram chinese Android Head unit, for it to work more fluid and not to crash I had to disable the Google play services.

I've buyed this app over the Google play store, now that I disabled it, I had to install the Aurora store, I have logged in with my Google account so I can install all my payed apps, I have installed your radio app, it works good, but have to have the WiFi data connection disable, if not it doesn't detect the license and closes up.

There's something I can do to bipass this behavior?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
connect it one time again to internet so it can check the license then it will be stored until you uninstall it.
[MTCD Software Development] paulomodesto:
Doesn't work 😭
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
uhm... I'll check it...

Sent from RMX2202 using ReLabs
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
i checked it and it's working correctly here.

you are probably doing something wrong..

Have you installed Navradio directly from playstore on the unit?

If you have installed it from usb sideload it won't work.

The right procedure is :

1. connect your unit to internet

2. Install NavRadio from playstore

3. Open Navradio and let it do a full start up. Go throught the Intro screens until you come to the NavRadio main screen.

4. close navradio

5. disconnect internet and open navradio again it should work wiothout asking for the license.

let me know...

I am using NavRadio+ with CarWebGuru premium. The visualizer doesnt display the music wave form. I have allowed third party access on the carwebguru settings. Any ideas?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Radio sound doesn't pass through android it goes directly to DSP.

It cannot be used by visualizers.
[MTCD Software Development] paulomodesto:
My head unit was laggy like hell.

With only 1gb ram the only option I had was to disable all Google Play services and Google apps.

Disabling the Google Play Services and the Google Play Store made the head unit way lighter and usable.

Without Google Play store and Google Play Services, the only way I've found to install the NavRadio+ and other apps was to install Aurora Store, with that I was able to login with my Google account and download the already purchased Navradio+ on my head unit.

It works great without a data connection, but if I turn on the WiFi and connect it with my smartphone the NavRadio+ will not work, have to turn off the WiFi data connection.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
That's exactly the way it supposed to work.

I have to protect my app from hacking and illegal sharing.

It's been already hacked one time and I spent a lot of time to add some more protections.

So if you are offline the licence is ok until you connect again to internet. Once you are back online it will need the verification by the PlayStore.

I'm sorry but I will not change that because you have disabled/removed the PlayStore
[MTCD Software Development] paulomodesto:
I understand, but there's any other way to check the authentity of your app without using the Google Play Services?

My problem was the heavy on resources Google Play Services.

It simply makes my head unit useless, i can't use a simple GPS app and it will crash my head unit, running a simple app will full the ram and make it sluggish, very sluggish.

Since I disabled the Google Play Services my head unit become usable again.

With it disabled my solution to install apps was to use a Google Play client so I search and found Aurora Store.

https://auroraoss.com/

With it i was able to download my purchased apps and access my wishlist by using my own Google account.

I've payed 5.99€ for your app as you can see in the attachments.

So, this means, I can use an old cracked version of your app without any problem, but the one I've legally buyed I can't?
[MTCD Software Development] Pavel-71:
Unfortunately that's not the case, on a PX5 GS android 10, regularly once a week, always while driving and when I'm offline, verification pops up and NavRadio blocks me. It's annoying, I don't understand why I have to be online to listen to FM radio.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
This is weird because if you stay offline it shouldn't ask it again. I'll check this.

You don't have to be online to listen the radio but just like any other payed apps it need to verify the license with PlayStore servers.

The Huawei Appgallery does exactly the same thing using an even stronger way than PlayStore.
[MTCD Software Development] Pavel-71:
Probably the problem is that it detects the home wifi at the house and before the verification happens, I'm already out of signal, it happens about 70 meters from the house, either speed up the verification or set a time delay for the verification, but that will probably be a problem. Maybe it will help if I turn off wifi. Because he does it about once a week, the testing will be lengthy.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Please try leaving off the wifi for a couple of weeks and let me know ;)
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
I'm sorry guys, I've introduced a serious bug in version 3.10 of NavRadio+ that cause a crash on almost all models.

For this reason I'm releasing a new 3.11 version with this changelog:

- Fixed crash introduced in version 3.10 (sorry...)

- (FYT) Fixed infinite loop of AF seeking

- (FYT) Added option in settings to disable AF seek (it also can be disabled turning off AF)

- Merge of frequencies now merge the AF lists too

- Improved autoseek and find logos codes
[MTCD Software Development] Pavel-71:
I confirm that if wifi is turned off in the device, NavRadio does not want verification, but as soon as I turn on wifi and I am out of signal, NavRadio is uncompromisingly blocked. Previously, multiple attempts were possible, now if you have no signal or data, it is blocked immediately.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Of course, the license must be checked anytime an internet connection is available.

I don't see anything wrong with that...
[MTCD Software Development] godguard:
This question is for the Kotix(owner of the app). I have paid the app and used long time over a PX5 MTC unit with Malay and Hal9k Roms without an issue. Today I decided to move back on stock HCT7 rom and when i logged in in googleplay it appears that i have to pay again... On the same google play account in my phone it is paid and I can download but not on Headunit....very very weird....Anyone has similar problem so far?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
This is happened already to some people.

It's a Google servers problem..

If you are sure that you are using the account used to purchase the app even if you proceed purchasing it again you will not be charged.
[MTCD Software Development] godguard:
Thank you for the fast reply, I will try this later and will give a feedback.
