In Factory Settings, the first Tab on the left is named "App Enable". There you have a settings that say "Radio YES", simply set "Radio NO". Apply and reboot.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Ok what kind of resolution is your display? and How many DPI?
[MTCD Software Development] Ujua:
ok thanks, and with that just disable the source app? the radio module will continue to work and navradio will too?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
On MTC devices yes.
[MTCD Software Development] parfetto:
Tomorrow i will check the DPI

Tks
[MTCD Software Development] HatManSan:
My screen is a pathetic 1280x480. About Xtrons gave us 1920x720. My screen is 10.25". I have no clue as to the DPI but it is poor. Your app was perfect before on the same HU
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Before what?

What has changed ? Did you just update the app? Or did you do anything else?

As mentioned in other posts i need you to install DPI changer app and report me the resolution and DPI of your unit.
[MTCD Software Development] HatManSan:
I see. OK apologies I have not read that. I shall do so tomorrow and report back to you. Before.... I have had issues recently with FCC Media Widget. If I clicked on the album cover it would always take me to the App Store. That would always show unavailable. I was told to clear the cache. In do so, assuming I did it correctly that cleared all the apps I had installed. So all were reinstalled. Yours works perfectly apart from no logos and very thin preset buttons.

Hi @KoTiX2,

MCU with firm MF1 its seems to have this firmware:

ZQ_PX5D_C54_HA15_U506-EN_2021-05-10-1013_paSS.zip ​

Посмотреть и скачать с Яндекс.Диска

disk.yandex.ru

It's possible to make your app compatible? I'm very interested on it.

Thanks
[MTCD Software Development] parfetto:
Here DPI print, the size it's not correct, the rest I think it's OK
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
So the resolution is 768x1024??

DPI = 160

Correct?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
No , sorry but i will not make it compatible with your unit.
[MTCD Software Development] parfetto:
Yes
[MTCD Software Development] Ujua:
Hello, today I have installed navradio, and I have canceled the stock radio from the factory menu, the operation is being great, congratulations kotix, it is a great job, even so I would like to point out some suggestions and something that I do not see very normal in the operation, the first suggestion is if in the pop-up message of the radio station, the number of the memory position you are in could also be shown .. p1, p2, p3 ...., that info would be fine, I have also Found something strange, not being able to move the memory icons to sort the stations, or not memorizing what is being heard when pressing and holding the memory key, it is a bit confusing to have to search and assign the number, I don't know if it could be my fault that I don't do it right ..., but it took me a bit to sort them ... Finally I found a fault or something strange operation when changing from day mode to dark mode, the radio performs like a blackout or reset at that moment and the screen remains with the stripes empty station in the middle, it's strange, I don't know if it will have a solution .. I leave a screenshot of one of the suggestions, and a video of the problem of changing the dark mode.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
XDA rules require that you write also in English, so please add the translation.

I'll see what I can do to add the station number in the notification.

About the dark mode switch i cannot do any better than this...

My app use standard android dark theming function and everytime there is a switch, i need to restart the activity to apply it.

the MTC apps use a dedicated background switching function that i cannot implement in my app.
[MTCD Software Development] Ujua:
sorry, the translator played a trick on me and I published in Spanish, it's already in English, as for the number it would be fine, the change of dark mode if it is not possible is not too serious, although if it becomes strange ... , perhaps in the future it would be nice to be able to choose a lighter interface for day mode and darker for night, in terms of memorizing the stations ..., would it be possible to memorize the station listened to by pressing and holding the memory key or something similar? ...

Thanks

Greetings
[MTCD Software Development] HatManSan:
@KoTiX2 Ok I have run the DPI changer app and it reports 1280 x 480 @ 240 DPi .
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Please post me a picture of how it look now. So I can compare it with my tests
[MTCD Software Development] HatManSan:
@KoTiX2
[MTCD Software Development] HatManSan:
For some reason I cannot add text to the above thread entry. Anyway you can see I have no logos, even though they are set and the buttons are very narrow. Thanks
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Ok guys the new version 2.13 is on his way on playstore:

- New grid view option with "Logos only"

- Added support for resolutions 1280x480, 768x1024 (vertical screen)

- Fixed other uncommon resolutions

- Improved the splitscreen

- Improved buttons resizing

- Replaced zoom effect on selected station with highlighting

- Fixed bug in manual logo assignment

- Fixed splashscreen for uncommon resolutions

@HatManSan please let me know if this version fix your logo assignement

@parfetto please confirm that your vertical screen rsolution is now fixed
[MTCD Software Development] parfetto:
Yes, vertical screen text, now it's ok.

Thanks
[MTCD Software Development] Pavel-71:
Hi, thanks for showing just the logo on the button, it looks good. It could also be for vertical buttons, but they are low and would like to enlarge them vertically and make them on both sides of the screen. Switching buttons from left to right works, it would be good to display both left and right. Unfortunately, the manual selection of icons does not work properly, when loading the screen turns black and everything freezes, only a restart of NavRadia will help. After the fifth reboot, the icon manager finally loaded it. In the end, it worked. PX5, android 10, HCT7, MTCE_GS. Thank you for your great work.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Can you make a video please?
[MTCD Software Development] Pavel-71:
Hi. I sent the video in a private message.
[MTCD Software Development] Pavel-71:
So good news, I tried to uninstall and reinstall it and it already works.
[MTCD Software Development] AdekP:
Thank you for this nice feature :)

PS

I think this logo is unnecessary now;)

Maybe in a future update, add an option to disable it?
[MTCD Software Development] HatManSan:
@KoTiX2 excellent news. Thank you very much. Been away on business but will test this new version tomorrow morning and report straight back. Thank you
[MTCD Software Development] HatManSan:
@KoTiX2 Back home early so I installed the 2.13 version. No change at all. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it and still no change. Can you tell me where the NavRadio cache is located and I can try deleting it. Thanks
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
That NavRadio data are in data/data/com.navimods.radio

Same thing if you uninstall it.

I thought you had problem with logo assignment, is that fixed or i misunderstood your problem?
[MTCD Software Development] HatManSan:
@KoTiX2 Probably my fault for not being clear. The three issues I have that were not present previously are the tiny narrow button for the radio presets, the fact no logos are assignable and no logos show up in the Player+Radio widget in FCC. The space between the "big station name" and the top of the preset button has doubled, squashing the preset buttons and forcing overlap and small fonts.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
I'm sorry but there is something wrong in the picture you are showing me.

Why do you have the logos on right side after the name instead of this?

Which country are you from?

Anyway i don't see anything wrong in the height of the buttons.

You have a wide screen with 480px height, i don't see a nice way to have everything fitted except increasing the number of columns .

I still don't understand why you cannot assign the logos but the logos are shown in the picture you posted...

Can you make a video please?
[MTCD Software Development] HatManSan:
Hi @KoTiX2 sorry that image I posted was made up in PSP. I couldn't remember which side the logos went sorry. I stretched the buttons and added the logos to show you how it once was. There is no question at all that I had the button with logo and then large station text and underneath the frequency. The image you posted has very narrow buttons, the were without any doubt whatsoever much taller or thicker than that. The preset buttons took up much more of the screen vertically and all text was big and readable with the logo. The logo was at least 10 - 12mm square on screen. It used to look as i have it in my image but with the logos first. (That's my mistake). I am in the UK. I have had this HU for over two years and only recently has it changed. The only changes I have made is going from Hal9k Android v9 to Hal9k Android v10. No other apps have changed their aspect ratio. The resolution support for 1280x480 has changed nothing sorry. I will happily make a video.

Thanks
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
The image i posted is from my phone that have another "unusual" resolution...

Yes please make a video and take some pics of the real unit

Please i need also that you go in navradio settings -> about Navradio and you double click twice on the Navradio icon untilit show some extra informations like in this pic:
[MTCD Software Development] Al Ferro:
Hi, I am trying to have my radio unit show the radio station logos in one row at the bottom, but every time I try to do it the app crashes, any ideas?🤷 (same thing happens with my other radio unit with a screen resolution of 1280X720)
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Oops... I forgot to add the only logo view for USA. Sorry about it. :(

I'll add it in next release.
[MTCD Software Development] HatManSan:
@KoTiX2 Got some video for you. Like an idiot I mess up with uninstalling and installing the same app version in my video at the end, so forgive that please. Can you PM a copy of an earlier NavRadio+ version for comparison as I have done with the free version in the video?

My Radio Logos to check

Video v2.0.4 vs v2.0.7

Latest v2.1.3 paid version. Resolution request in this video

Thank you
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Thank you very much for the videos and for your explanations. They were very useful and I see well now the problems :)

First thing you should try is to rename your logo images without spaces in the name, like "BBC_radio2.png" and not "BBC Radio.png"

(Android, like Linux, don't like the spaces in the file names. This should fix the logo assignment.)

May I ask you why don't you download the logos provided with the app?

Regarding the resolution problem, I'm trying to find a way to have all resolutions supported but when I fix one i mess another one so I can only ask you to have some patience until next release when I hope I'll have all sorted out.

I also have to explain something about the double click on the icon in the "about NavRadio" section.

Doing that you enable a kind of "service mode" where the app:

- show the infos that you see on the left side (device, detected model, etc)

- enable the NR_service icon in the apps drawer that let you run NavRadio in background mode

- show some additional toast notifications that i use for debugging

This service mode can be disabled simply double click again on the icon in "about NavRadio" section.
[MTCD Software Development] HatManSan:
@KoTiX2 I used a different font to make them easier to see. I also wanted the same shape and a larger icon within the set size you quoted. My logo naming worked before but I shall indeed remove the spaces as you suggest. I will let you know if that changes anything. Thank you.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Version 2.14 is coming out today:

- Fixed all resolutions and displays density (i hope for last time)

- Fixed "only logos" view for USA

I now use many different folders (sw***dp) for each resolution.

The formula used to determine the DP value of the folder is:

"Smallest width in px" *160/DPI density

For example for a 1024*600 240dpi display we apply the formula 600*160/240=400

So the dimensions folder for this display will be sw400dp.

The problems start if somebody use non standard density values. Malaysk in his roms for example force set a 220dpi density value,

some other guy set 242dpi...

I tried to preset the correct dimensions for these special cases too but I cannot know all of them, so please report me the correct display sizes and DPI values if you still have problems.
[MTCD Software Development] HatManSan:
Thank yhou for your continuing support. @KoTiX2.

Just testing 2.1.4. The buttons are still the same, too narrow and I still cannot use the logos I did before. I have renamed the logos as you instructed with _ instead of spaces and saved them as .png. No joy. Is there anything else I can try or send you to help?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Well i need a new picture of how it look now. I have no other idea to make it match your resolution.

It does look ok in all my emulators and in my 800*480 PX3 MTC unit.

I will try to load on my unit your logos to check them out..

Edit: i just tried on my phone and your logos are loaded without problems, even with original names with spaces.

Please try using a file manager like total commander to select the PNG file instead of the gallery. Google gallery need to be refreshed sometimes to update its cache and it could show files that aren't really there.
[MTCD Software Development] HatManSan:
@KoTiX2 as the HU is not in my car for testing, I have formatted the cache and system partition again. So from fresh, with just you app added. The NavRadio looks exactly the same as before. There is no change. As I said it was all perfect so it would appear, that your continued efforts to support more and more resolution has killed 1280x480@240dpi. I have tried resizing my logos to 250x250 and used png. My original 300x300 jpg were perfect before. Your logos load no problem but mine which did work no longer do. Do you think there may be scope to have a resolution change option during initial set up. Can you PM me an older version of NavRadio+ for testing please. I may need to stick with it. Thank you. There are lots of HU with 1280x480 resolution from Xtrons.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
What about using another file manager to load the logos?
[MTCD Software Development] HatManSan:
@KoTiX2 sorry i know what you are saying but not how to act. When I click on Add Logo is the system using a default file manager. I have nothing on the HU apart from Hal9k v10 and your app. I put the logo files onto ex FAT formatted USB stick with Windows 11pro as I have always done since owning a HU.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Ok. You could simply download total commander from PlayStore and when you press the "choose logo" button click on the top left button to select total commander as file browser.( I'll make you a video when I have some time)

Anyway, i was able to reproduce the problem and i can say that it occurs if the files are on USB and you use the default file chooser.

I'm working on the solution and I'm pretty close to release it but you have to consider that if you remove the USB stick the logos will not show up because it cannot find the files.

Best way would be that you copy these files on internalSD and you select them from there, otherwise i will have to add a function to copy each logo from USB to internalSD when assigning them.

Right now i cannot thing on other alternatives..

Regarding the resolution problem, i've added some code to increase the buttons height just for the 1280*480 displays so you should be fine for that too ;)
[MTCD Software Development] HatManSan:
@KoTiX2 I shall try everything you suggest now. Thank you
[MTCD Software Development] HatManSan:
OK Logos loaded no problem with TC, an app I have never had installed before.

I take the new button size code is yet to be uploaded to PS? Below is an image of how the button looks now (A) and below (B) is how it used to look. The text was aligned before and the logo bigger. A and B buttons
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Ok. Now we know that total commander method work and that the problem come from the Google file chooser. But it's not only that: in my app the logos are intended to be loaded from internalSD not from USB. Specifically from "radioLogos" folder on the root of internal sdcard.

This because USB can be removed, because it is slower and not reliable as internal.

I fixed the code today to make it load the logo from USB correctly but then I got errors broadcasting it to make it show on external widgets ( like FCC or agama ones).

So my point is: please copy those 8 files in radioLogos folder on internal disk. You can also create a subfolder in it like "mylogos"...

In the while I'll see if I can make some kind of advertisement or copy them automatically.

I'm sorry but the buttons never looked like at your B example. You can look at the pictures on first post of this thread or at the PlayStore NavRadio page to see how they always has been.
[MTCD Software Development] HatManSan:
@KoTiX2

Thank you once again for your continued support. Below are two links to images. The first one is 2.14+ and the one below is 2.10+.

2.14+

2.10+

As you can see the button sizes are completely different. There is a logo in the second image I just didn't get it in frame. You wrote the app, so I will gladly accept my mistake reference logo and text alignment. However is it something you can do. I am of the opinion it looks a lot neater. Incidentally I have just been to kotixworld but cannot find the donate button.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Version 2.15:

- Fixed 1024x600 220dpi for mtc and s32f0

- Fixed 1280x480 240dpi view

- Some more fix for manual logos assignements

@HatManSan I set only for your resolution an height of the buttons bar of 200dp instead of 170dp I hope it's enough for you. Let me know.
[MTCD Software Development] HatManSan:
@KoTiX2 Perfect!! Thank you very much. Where is your donate link please?
[MTCD Software Development] BigManni:
Hi,

first thanks to KoTiX2 for this Program.

Runs perfectly, looks cool.

I do have one small beauty flaw.

I have a RV5754 PX5 with android 10.

When the headlight of the car is switched on or off-.

Change day or night theme then the radio sound stops for 1 sec. it is only on Navradio.

Is this only the case with me?

thx
[MTCD Software Development] HatManSan:
This doesn't happen on my old PX5 or my new PX6
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
The day/night switching in NavRadio is made in a different way from the MTC other apps.

In my app i use the android day/night modes that need a restart of the activity, while MTC use 2 custom themes to apply it.

Anyway I will check and try to fix it.

Tnx for reporting it. ;)
[MTCD Software Development] roras:
Hi, could you not create a power button in the bottom bar in the next update that will end the radia process?

The radio can only be terminated via this menu.

If the radio does not end, it will start automatically the next time it starts.

S32F0

Malaysk ROM​
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
My app can be terminated with the back button.

Back button functionality can be changed in NavRadio settings, you can choose between single or double tap or long click.

There is no need to add another power button.
[MTCD Software Development] roras:
Yes I'm sorry. Somehow I missed the menu in the settings.
[MTCD Software Development] RazvanMoise:
First i want to thank to the developer. Amazing app! But do you know how can uninstall/disable the original FM apk și when i touch the radio button from the panel of my HU to open the navradio+ instead of the old app?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Disable original app in factory settings of your unit.

For the button you need a custom ROM.
[MTCD Software Development] RazvanMoise:
Thank you so much for fast reply. Do you know what kind of ROM should i use. BTW. Your app is simply amazing!
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
You should look on Russian 4pda.ru forum.

They have more stuff ;)
[MTCD Software Development] RazvanMoise:
Thank you. But you have any ideea why the AF it does not stays on?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Does it work on original app?
[MTCD Software Development] RazvanMoise:
In original app i don't even have that function.
[MTCD Software Development] RazvanMoise:
Hello. Looks like the head unit does not support AF which is strange. You know if there is any possibility to activate somehow this function?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Your unit have T3L type of MCU which doesn't support rds at all.

There is nothing that you can do about it. Your radio chip or MCU don't have RDS.

They should not sell these kind of units outside of china...
[MTCD Software Development] randycorcoran:
Hi @KoTiX2, I sent to you a DM with the log file from searching in background. I installed the malaysk rom now but the problem still continues. I hope the log will help you this time. Thx
[MTCD Software Development] borsteline:
Habe ein Erisin Android 10.0 Autoradio und da mir diese Radio App sehr gefällt habe ich die NavRadio+

v0.2.12 installiert leider steht Hardware Inkompatibel ich hänge mal die Radio daten an vielleicht kann mir

jemand sagen ob es eine APK für dieses Radio gibt oder ob ich Pech gehabt habe.Vielen Dank
[MTCD Software Development] randycorcoran:
Hi @KoTiX2 I sent you another DM. The problem still continues.
[MTCD Software Development] Josoft:
Hi @KoTiX2

I have a problem with the list of radios. When I put the application back in the foreground, systematically the visual bug, I have to change the station so that everything visually returns to normal.
[MTCD Software Development] lagos911:
@KoTiX2 hey man I install Malaysk last rom and after that I cant resize the widget of your app...

When I try to drag the spaces its does not let me...

I am talking about the widget which is at vertical.

Horizontal does not exist at the widget at all.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
That because malaysk have modified the launcher and the DPI settings of the unit.

I can't fix it for malaysk rom without braking it for other roms.

Better if you use Hal9k rom if you need my widget ;)
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
NEW Version 2.16 is coming out:

- Added Ecuador logos

- Possible fix for radio info display on canbus for MTC units

- Fixed compatibility for "SF0" models (variant of S32F0 ")

- Fixed "MHz" in notifications
[MTCD Software Development] okij:
I just updated to 2.16 but now I have two issues:

I use the popup notification of Hal9k Mod4. IIRC this notification used to show not only the frequency when changing stations, but also the station name, plus the station name of the next and previous station in the list. Now it only shows the frequency, please see 1st attached screenshot.

After this notification, there now is a second popup notification which shows "CanBusDisplay: freq=xxxx group=yyy index=z", please see 2nd attached screenshot.

Can these issues be fixed somewhere in the NavRadio+ options? (I didn't find any settings for this.) If not, please fix them. Thanks. :)
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Please deactivate the "testMode" in settings/about... Double clicking on the icon.

This will remove the "CanbysDisplay..." Popup.

I haven't change anything in other notifications except a small string adjustment so I'm almost sure I'm not responsable for Hal9k toast.

Be sure you haven't changed the notification of metadatas in Navradio settings.

;)
