Loving the Vivid Launcher, I'm using an Eonon with Android 10, I have a few questions that I'm hoping I can get some help with;

1. I prefer the Vivid split screen over Apple Carplay however I would love the ability to receive/read/respond to sms/iMessage through the Vivid home screen, is this possible.

2. Can the unit be configured to access the internet via Bluetooth tether to my phone?

3. Currently my biggest hang up at the moment, I've read that it's possible to have your Bluetooth music displayed in the media player side of the split screen, so far I can only get local, memory card, Netflix and Apple Music.

When I connect to my phone with wifi tether and connect to apple music that's been the best way I can figure out how to play music from my apple music and use the map along with access to the internet for Android 10 as well has use my phone through my car stereo, I apologize if I'm sounding ignorant or asking this is the wrong section, also even if I could get pointed to some tutorials that would be helpful.
[MTCD Software Development] grzegorz.u:
Nobody mentioned FCC car launcher. IMHO the best one.
[MTCD Software Development] marjanoos:
The best one if you are still in 2007.

Frankly speaking it's a matter of a taste, but your style is a "mish-mash".
[MTCD Software Development] grzegorz.u:
No, it's a quality of the picture. In reality it looks great.
[MTCD Software Development] gilal:
Welcome. I see that we are from the same country, I greet :) I installed this application on my phone to check what and how. After starting I can not set everything. How did you do it?
[MTCD Software Development] grzegorz.u:
Greetings. :)

Have you gave all permissions? At start the launcher ask you to put any widget on the screen. It's only to give the permission. I have just installed it on my phone to check and it works. Clear the data and try again. I attach a screenshot from the fresh installation without any configuration.
[MTCD Software Development] gilal:
Thanks for your help. I'll try :) Because it scared me a little bit and I didn't know what was going on. Do you have the full version? How something I will write to you because I do not have a bearing with us in the country :)
[MTCD Software Development] grzegorz.u:
Yes, I have a full version. If you have questions just PM me, so that we keep this tread stick to the original topic. 😉
[MTCD Software Development] aloreto:
Hello guys,

I recently upgraded my dasaita to the vivid11 version and I have to say the improvements are huge... I had so many issues with other launchers in the past but this is great. Thanks to the developers community for engaging with users like you do, I have been reading the thread but it is massive (93 pages so far)... I have some comments/questions so bear with me if these have been answered as I have not read the whole forum.

I am using the launcher in card mode and I am loving it, however there are certain things that could be improved, or maybe I don't know how to do it:

- Add/Remove widgets: For example, I do not want to have the driver assist as one of the cards but would rather be able to add a different one.

-Resize widgets: Is it possible to resize the widgets? maybe make to clock bigger or the navigation to cover a wider space?

- Bigger icons: On the Radio widget I currently have Pandora as my app for music, and I love it, however, when in widget mode, the rew/pause/fwd buttons are a bit small and it is hard to really get the right spot on the screen where they activate. I know I can use the wheel controls or open the app for better use, but sometimes a passenger wants to skip a song and it is hard to click on them as the area where they activate seems very small.

- New information widgets. I like to go overlanding and having a widget with the Satellite information, which is already available on the unit, is huge. For example having a widget with Lat Lon, Altitude, Direction (Northing), satellites connected, would be a very nice addition to the widgets.

Keep up the good work guys, really good.

Thanks

rolled on us and sold
[MTCD Software Development] marchnz:
It's OK because they got free product development and feedback from people that contributed here, right :)
[MTCD Software Development] Leader2light:
Launcher works great for me. Anyway to disable the startup/splash screen? It lets you pick your own image but not disable it. That doesn't make sense to me.
[MTCD Software Development] amaxgraph:
i don't want to tell about thids look, but maybe looks like ancient than VIIVID
[MTCD Software Development] amaxgraph:
i've some question about VIVID use, but i think problem are my car tablet, i don't find radio app inside and bluetooth module for phone call. tell me it about and if this problem is hardware of my unit
[MTCD Software Development] hasani19:
Hi devs. Today I posted an issue with my Bluetooth module on an FYT UIS8581A (SC9863A) head unit, because I wasn't sure 100% that this problem had to do with VIVID launcher and also because some other guys had the same issue as their Bluetooth version like mine was shown as "unknown_blink" while it was used to be "BLINK_21_61..." and I wanted to avoid posting a duplicate. The original post here: 7862 android player Bluetooth "unknown blink". But now I'm posting here because I figured out that the issue was actually caused by VIVID Lanucher (at least in my case). I installed VIVID on my device and because it didn't fit my needs, I uninstalled it, then I noticed that my BT module was gone, no BT connection, nothing... I dug all the Internet and XDA for several days but couldn't find a real solution and I was about to send my device to the reseller to get a replacement, until found some bypass solution to get my BT working. However, today I thought maybe installing VIVD again can bring back whatever it snatched from my stock software. and it actually worked. Is there any specific instruction for removing VIVD to avoid such things? What should I do now at this point, I'm not going to use VIVD but I'm also stuck with it :)
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
REflash your original firmware
[MTCD Software Development] hasani19:
I already did that... My BT is back to normal state now... but thanks anyways...
[MTCD Software Development] Khanpapatzin:
Hello :)

What major changes have been made to the new US-only version compared to the previous normal versions?

If installed via APK, will it work outside US?

As to react to the previous discussion, I really don't see how a 20-year-old-looking launcher can even be considered as an relevant alternative.

On the other hand, visually "thinkable" launchers like AutoZen do collect and share sensitive data in real time, which seems a bit sketchy.
[MTCD Software Development] HenderDTH:
Hi first of all thank you for this launcher I'm using it on my car, audi a4 b9, the screen it's an avdroid one with Android 10 on it.

I have diferent music providers and when I use the youtube Music premium I don't know why generates allways a new task of it and remains on hinter ground.. When I start the car again I have the option in vivid that try to reproduce the last provider and again generates a new task leaving the old ones in memory.. Over and over again so when I check that out I can have 20 youtube Music in the memory and slow down the system. It happens only with this provider... Is there any solution or may be im doing something wrong..

Thank you for your time and help and sorry my English it's not my language.

Thank you again

Hi! I have installed Vivid on my Android radio PX5. I like the app but the radio doesn't work. The local stations are shown but there's no audio. Is there anything I need to do? Thanks!!
[MTCD Software Development] asafeyal:
I have the same issue.
[MTCD Software Development] geertjan88:
Same issue here. I even factory reset my head unit and the behavior still exists. When i long press the waze icon in the bottom bar and press delete. It says can't delete navigation app. Also when i pin waze and maps at the same time it only shows one. Somehow its confused and thinks they are the same apps?
[MTCD Software Development] Spark972:
I'm not in US, I'm in France, and since a week Vivid is asking me to update :oops:

Not sure I want to break/brick something that is working fine for me...
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
Is your unit an mtcd or any other supported platform by vivid? If not....it could be the issue
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
It is a well known bug that has not been solved
[MTCD Software Development] Stevik:
Please what version do you have now?
[MTCD Software Development] DeliciousDevious:
I am unable to complete the setup because my current UI has the AC controls above the continue button. VIVID is the only app that this happens to me on all the other apps don't use the entire screen and stop right above the AC controls. Iv'e tried all kinds of fixes at this point I am just here to suggest they take this into consideration and make an update that removes the need to manually click continue and just automatically continue when you connect to the wifi. Whatever setup comes after this should also automatically continue once filled. Also, the "accept" button for the terms and conditions was a huge hassle to get to I suggest a change that moves the accept button to immediately under the two terms and conditions instead of 10 inches of empty space followed by a "accept" button in another zipcode.

Things ive tried to do to get through this in the mean time:

Remote control app hoping the AC UI would not be captured during the remoting in process - nope.

Split-Screen app - This worked for the T&C but the wifi setup does not support split-screen - bruh.

Rotation control app - AC UI rotates along with the app still hides button - nope.
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
Are you sure that your unit is compatible with vivid launcher?
[MTCD Software Development] DeliciousDevious:
It is an Android 12 head unit with who knows what Phoenix Automotive loads on there to work with my Infiniti G37. Perhaps I ignorantly assumed I could just load Vivid launcher in the above space and keep my AC control keys. I was just experimenting and wanted to test Vivid as it looked so much more visually modern and beautiful compared to the meh UI on the original.

I do think I should have the option of at least testing it and the continue/accept buttons being under the UI elements stop me from doing so. It really makes no sense to me to not automatically continue once you connect to a working wifi. I cant remember the time I've used an app and had to step 1 connect to working wifi step 2 continue; they always just proceeded to the next step.
[MTCD Software Development] zen kun:
Hello Khanpapatzin, i came across your post, And I don't want to hijack this post, but I'm the developer of AutoZen, and the app does not collect or share data with anyone (there is not even ads), however in the new Google play policy, if we "share" the data ephemeral we need to declare, for example I need to "share" the location when you search for a place in order to retrieve the POI nearby, or to create a route , or the weather I need to share the location with the provider (for example weather), but nothing is saved or stored, There is not even a login so far, so there is also no way to share personal info. the only data that is collected and persisted (only for 3 months and is annonymous) is anaytics and crash reports, which you you can turn off from the settings (this help me to improve the app tho), I don't sell the data, I don't persist any user data, and I only "share"/transfer some data in order to search for places, weatherm routes and so on. So I can assure you, there is nothing sketchy in AutoZen ;D

Feel free to send me a DM or post, or email, I'm more than happy to help you and anyone that have some issues/doubts/problems
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
Vivid is nott just a launcher. Ita has some.features that are integrated into the compatible headunits in order to control radio app as multimedia source as well as bluetooth media and calls.

Vivid developers integrated the launcher on those platforms which the developers gave them access to
[MTCD Software Development] Spark972:
You need to go into the hard settings of the unit and de-activate the climate control display.
[MTCD Software Development] Micha_Btz:
Hey,

I have switched recently to the newest Dasaita vivid ROM, which is really nice so far.

Two questions I have:

I have a lot of music files on my stick, nearly 200GB. They are sorted by Artist with the albums below. Vivid created a list with all albums. It is possible to create a playlist of all folders of the device?

I would stay in the music play screen, with the album cover. But i goes always back to the split screen with the card, can I change this behavior?

Thanks Micha
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
The developing is stopped.

We have to wait for the next move of Telenav...is just the integración of vivid and scout in one, but probably won't be available as an external apk
[MTCD Software Development] Stevik:
Hi, if this place doesn't work, is it possible to hide it and just show the date?
[MTCD Software Development] Stevik:
Does anyone have information on version 6.3.3511. The unit is offering me this update.
[MTCD Software Development] MichalMundi:
there would be no support for this radio, the weather, FM radio is not working, nor can you change waze as the main navigation, thank you
[MTCD Software Development] Micha_Btz:
on the dasaita website there is a new version,

Combine scout and vivid telenav_vivid_rk3399_10.0_ota(20231023)

what does it mean combine?

@ikerg do you know more?
[MTCD Software Development] Kniber:
Hi

How can make vivid read music files from head unit directly not from sd card only ?
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
I haven't tried yet but as scout and vivid were developed by the same company they have merged both developments into a unique one
[MTCD Software Development] Tgordon:
Here is an image of the new Scout + Vivid 11 software update posted by dasaita. It now features SCOUT maps instead of the original Google Maps on the left half of the screen.
[MTCD Software Development] gilal:
But have you already installed it or are you just guessing it's wrong? I'm thinking about buying a new Dasaita G12 product, but I don't know if it's worth it.
[MTCD Software Development] Micha_Btz:
I have tried to update, but the file seems corrupt. It doesn't work.
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
I did the update successfully. The file works as expected. It is mainly the vivid launcher except for the navigation widget in which instead of Google maps you have the scout navigation widget that is connected to the scout navigation app (that must be downloaded too apart)
[MTCD Software Development] Tgordon:
Do you have any problems with the boot-up? Also, can you post a pic of the home screen in "dark mode". I'm trying to see if the attempt to upgrade is worth it.
[MTCD Software Development] Micha_Btz:
I tried another stick and it worked. For the first view, there seems to be not much difference.
[MTCD Software Development] rogierg:
Sideloaded on my Junsun V1 pro. Works great except for the slow start. Any tips on improving this?
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
It seems that scout maps are still only valid for north America (usa, Canada and mexico). European people have a useless navigation widget. I asked telenav if they are planning to add more countries
[MTCD Software Development] Spark972:
I was on Launcher-5.10.3468-vivid-arm64-v8a-release

Did the update a few weeks ago and seems a little more stable now.

From time to time it doesn't simply wake up but boot from cold start. Not a big deal for me.
[MTCD Software Development] Sertug1991:
Hi guys, v6.3 of the app doesn’t work on my device (it crashes after the home screen opens) so I installed the v5.10. It works fine with this version but the music widget on the home screen does not fit. Is there a way to fix it? Here’s how it’s look like
[MTCD Software Development] Sn00kY89:
Hi, Vivid working on Ts 10 vertical head unit?

I tried to install last version on my TS10 and is crash.

If I install a version that doesn't support vertical it works well
[MTCD Software Development] powerserge1:
I'm sure some of you have tried Vivid on a Chinese Android HU, it does not seem to play all that nice with the stock home launcher built into the units. Even after you set Vivid as to default launcher the problem persists. Vivid is perfect but unfortunately it is bootlooping because the stock launcher still controls the system, steering controls and factory buttons still. If anyone has had any success would love to hear it.
[MTCD Software Development] mirekklita:
GM Radio (download xda forum) doesn't work with Vivid Car Launcher, is there any way to fix it?
[MTCD Software Development] ishirakurei:
Anyone got the latest update 7.1.3860?

Trying to update from the launcher itself, but it's giving me errors.
[MTCD Software Development] bungers:
Managed to update on one device a few days ago, but not working on another device today - URL doesn't resolve either.

Separate question - this video shows the 'car' option, but it's not shown on mine, anyone know why?
[MTCD Software Development] autoPete:
Does VIVID allow me to use my own music player on the homepage ?
[MTCD Software Development] Paul1965:
I have a similar question. I'm new to this launcher, having just installed it on my generic vertical head unit. So far, I'm very impressed with it! However, I run a media server and stream everything using my phone with SqueezePlayer and Squeezer, so I have no use for a music player on the head unit, and the built one just takes up valuable real estate. Unfortunately, I don't see any options that allow me to edit the content of the home screen. Can it be done? I did see there was some kind of teaser video showing different music sources being selected from the dropdown on the upper right of the music player, but for me, "Local Music" is the only source listed.
[MTCD Software Development] autoPete:
Car Launcher seem to have solved the problem for me. The free version allows me to chose any player but paid version allows auto play (at launch) from where it left off before turning off ignition- slightly laggy though.
[MTCD Software Development] Mighty07:
Anyone know where to get the latest version APK for this?

Trying to update from the app itselg but keeps giving an error and pointing to a domain that has nothing.

Thanks
[MTCD Software Development] nxtt:
Hello :) Someone can upload the the newest version? Really good launcher
[MTCD Software Development] tonybam:
The last Version not available in google play or in the sites.

Could someone put link if possible.
[MTCD Software Development] Adamados:
Yes, i receive notice that there is app version 7 but cannot update it through the app.

If someone have the link for v7 share.
[MTCD Software Development] trkkrsy:
hello i installed a vivid Launcher modded custom ROM on the px 5 chip main unit, when i connect the internet to the device at the first startup, it activates, then the user login screen comes. But here it gives an error that the connection could not be established. I haven't tried the ones via Facebook or phone number. I don't know what version of Vivid ROM is installed since it boots as soon as it is installed. I can't log in to any other screen.
[MTCD Software Development] VooXoo:
Same as above, I opened the app and it says there is a new version, but it can't be downloaded and the site it says to go is off.

We are on the Vivid 6.etc, new one is 7, there should be big changes.

I've seen on the play store that the app got updated this month, but is USA only.
[MTCD Software Development] nxtt:
So I've tried a few version. The last one 6.4.5 from google play (u can download it from few another websites) is most stable and I gonna stay with this one. I tried 6.7 ale 7.x.x but is really sh*t.
[MTCD Software Development] trkkrsy:
I did it, I did it.

- I hooked up the Internet,

- I did the activation not with username and password but with phone sms password, it worked.

- it updated itself when it opens, now it opens with vivid, scout written. The clock was analog before the update. It became digital after the update.
[MTCD Software Development] itbva:
Hi!
[MTCD Software Development] VooXoo:
Update Vivid on my car to the latest link updated (thanks)

It works fine, possible smoother than before but aside that I see no massive changes

The dot telling them there was a update avaiable dissapeared, I expected it to still be there for the above mentioned version 7

Question, anyone knows a bluetooth music player, phone to car, that works with Vivid? the default app on my unit is not recognized by it
[MTCD Software Development] xdsbx:
Is it possible to use an other navigation in Pip window?
[MTCD Software Development] the baz:
I have Vivid installed on a Dasaita Android 9 and really like it. I tried Vivid on my TS10 and it looks really good but no bluetooth phone connection at all.

I can access my phone through the steering wheel controls, but cannot do anything through Vivid. Will there ever be bluetooth access with Vivid on the TS10 or does anyone know of a work around?
[MTCD Software Development] Once11ever:
Hello

I'm new in the forum.

I am trying to install the 6.4.5 apk on a screen with Android 13 and I am not able to give it the storage permission it requests. I have given all possible permissions to the application, but the launcher keeps telling me that it does not need me to give it storage permissions. Does anyone know how to do it?
[MTCD Software Development] uvramana1:
Hello,

My local music app is not detecting music files I have on the internal storage. Also, radio widget says no radio stations added, I couldn't find a way to add them. Is there any way to work around these issues? I checked the launcher has access to storage.
[MTCD Software Development] the baz:
I am having the same problem. I thought it was the usb stick and formatted and copied all music files to that one. Next day, no music files. Rebooted head unit and worked again, then next day head unit starts up with a tune from 2 days ago on player but won't find it when I go to play it. Something not right with that side of things. this is on a Dasaita PX5 Android 9. Vivid works really well on my TS10 Android 10, but no bluetooth access.
[MTCD Software Development] the baz:
I tried Vivid 6.4.5 on my Dasaita PX5 android 8 head unit and again, it look great, but no bluetooth connection. The bluetooth app shows my phone as paired but not connected, but it is connected in the Dasiata launcher.

I really would like to use the Vivid launcher but not much good without bluetooth, does anyone have a workaround/solution?
[MTCD Software Development] the baz:
Just to follow up, I can get the bluetooth player to play files, but the phone does not connect, and strangely it changed the name of my bluetooth to "null" and my phone showed as being connected to "null" but was only usable through the Dasaita launcher or the Vivid bluetooth player
[MTCD Software Development] VooXoo:
Yes, I can play music from bluetooth on the headset but Vivip app doesn't see the phone in any way so I can' tmanage calls or the music.

It sees other apps so I believe is a problem with the stock bluetooth app on my device, but I can't find a better one, strangely they all don't work on the level of a cheap chinese default app from years ago.
[MTCD Software Development] the baz:
had a weird problem come up yesterday and not sure if Vivid has anything to do with it.

I use Igo nextgen for the GPS program and have used it for ages on many different Android devices.

I lost all sound but only on IGO. There is a button for muting the sound in Nextgen, and it indicated it was muted but nothing would change it even though there was no muting in the settings of either Vivid, Dasaita, or IGO. Only a factory reset and re-install of everything fixed it. Hopefully it will run fine from now on.
