TD;LR make it possible to mount and traverse multiple external storage devices.

On the latest build, the storage does not recognise multiple usb and SD cards. That is there is only one external storage device allowed at a time, can you fix, all my music was on a usb drive plugged into the rear of the device and now it is being reported that files do not exist.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
hmm... interesting, so the case is you have some songs in sdcard in headunit, and also want usb for some music as well? Will check that
[MTCD Software Development] RN Eric:
Absolutely love the launcher…I am running version 5.1.3355 on my Dasaita Max 10.

Question: I have offline maps installed for Google Map and using the head unit as an offline navigation system when driving. Google Map works perfectly with the offline maps…For the Navigation Widget in the Vivid Launcher Home, the map would start displaying correct streets but the map gets very blurry when I drive farther…street names are not displayed at all unless I manually open Google Map and use the app. I already reset the Launcher twice but couldn’t fix the blurry map issue.

Am I doing something wrong? Does the Navigation Widget pulls data from the offline maps? Just tried the 2/17 version and still has the same problem.

Thank you.

Hello, I have a dasaita max10 installed, the problem is that when I connect my USB with music it plays the songs but then it starts freezing and lagging too much, it takes a long time to turn and vivid cash too much, the problem is gone after I remove the USB and factory reset vivid
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
How much storage capacity is your USB? How many songs are stored?

Perhaps it is too big
[MTCD Software Development] crazychapin:
I tried with a 64 GB and then with a 32Gb, I tried with 8000 songs then erase some to see if that fox the problem and nothing, installed car launcher with a different music player to test it and it worked just fine but is not the same as the stock launcher
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
It seem to be any bad management of the indexing of files. meanwhile You can use Poweramp ... On the last version ....any other external media player can be selected from the media sources as well (if previously was started)
[MTCD Software Development] jnshk:
Hello, I wanted to give Vivid a try on one of my vehicles, but I can't seem to get it to do the system update. I've managed to update my unit to the most recent MAX10 firmware "HA3_rk3399_10.0_ota(20220120)" but whenever I try to use the OTA update file for Vivid, it gives me the following error:

"assert failed: update_dynamic_partitions(package_extract_file("dynamic_partitions_op_list")) E:error in /mnt/usb_storage/update.zip (status 7) Installation aborted."

I watched the video provided by Dasaita for switching from MAX10 to Vivid and attempted this upgrade using a regular 8GB fat32 formatted USB drive (which worked fine for installing MAX10 firmwares).

I've seen the "status 7" error referenced for upgrading from A9 to A10 firmwares, but not yet for simply switching between HCT/MAX10/Scout/Vivid. Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

Update: Oh yes, my device is a Dasaita "Universal" double-din, PX6 (1024x600), Android 10 (from factory), MCU ver 3.56_1 (Jun 17, 2020)
[MTCD Software Development] RN Eric:
Did you download from:

Dropbox

www.dropbox.com

I used the same file for my Max 10 and works well.
[MTCD Software Development] jnshk:
It appears to be the link as posted in the "Dasaita - Latest MCU and Updates for Rockchip CPU platform Stereos" thread, so that should be the same one that I am using. I will try downloading it again and trying it just in case it was somehow corrupted though. Will report back.
[MTCD Software Development] jnshk:
Still no joy. :(

I wouldn't expect this to be an issue, but I have the stock radio app disabled because I was using NavRadio+. This shouldn't interfere with the system update in any way, right? It didn't affect changing versions of MAX10.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Thanks for feedback, since Google map app is not providing a mapview or map widget for 3rd party to use, the widget on dashboard is actually developed by us using google map sdk which is isolated with the app itself, so that should be the reason. I guess download map data won't help on this case
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Are you using ROM or launcher only? Let's try to reproduce this.
[MTCD Software Development] crazychapin:
I'm using the stock launcher and ROM, I'll try to use it with 1000 songs to see if there's any difference
[MTCD Software Development] RN Eric:
That explains!!
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
Try to force the upgrade from the recovery menu
[MTCD Software Development] jnshk:
OK, so I initiated the update process from the recovery menu, but it still fails at the same point and with the same error.

I decided to take a look at the file which causes the error. For the most part, it is identical to the file in the MAX10 update, however the "grow partition"/"resize system" values are different. Is this likely to be the cause? I don't suppose that patching the Vivid update file with the "dynamic_partitions_op_list" from the MAX10 update work? I'm assuming that this file sets the partition sizes used by the OS for the system and so changing the values would probably be an invitation to Bricksville even if it worked, right?

It is strange....perhaps you have to use alternative methods to upgrade like otg cable to flash by means of PC and rockchip tools...

That could be done with a usb-a to USB-a cable (not all units accept this method) or by creating by yourself a jig cable directly connected to som

Hi, I installed the last version of the Vivid launcher. Great changes to both the map and the media widget. The only thing that prevents me from daily usage of this launcher is the stability and some unexpected behaviours. I think that the launcher has everything what is needed and the development could be concentated on the stability improvement now.
[MTCD Software Development] pskopylov:
Is it an open source project?
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
Would you mind to be more specific for which stability or unexpected behaviors you mean?

IMHO this is one of the best launchers... I don't think you will have other launcher as integrated into mtcd environment as this....with minor "glitches"....but I think they will be polished as far as we (the users) inform developers of them
[MTCD Software Development] urgo2x:
I fully agree with you and IMHO it is the best launcher however it needs to be polished. Here some problems that I have found:

map widget

after using +/- buttons the map stops moving and it sticks up to the last position before using buttons.

strange behaviour when using widget in a navigation mode - sometimes when I click X button to exit navigation mode it moves to the google map app instead but sometimes it just exit the mode.

media widget

the problem with the default Vivid radio app that I mentioned before. Sometimes it works but more often when I launch radio app the radio starts playing and then the launcher is restarted and the radio stops playing. I can do this in the loop many times and only head unit restart can help.

the media widget doesn't display the name of the station. It displays frequency twice instead - this problem I mentioned before as well.

I will continue to test the last Vivid version and inform if I find any other bugs.
[MTCD Software Development] urgo2x:
Hi, today I experienced another issue with the radio app. The steps: I started the car engine; radio start playing; radio stopped after a few seconds; I tapped the play button on the media widget; radio didn't start playing and opened the list of the last tasks instead; I choose Vivid from the list; Vivid launcher was restarted; I tapped play button on the media widget; ... ; after 3 loops the radio app finally start playing.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Yes, that's something we always pay attention to, can you specify a little bit about the issues? which device and rom are you using? Thanks for feedback
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
map widget bugs we'll reproduce and fix, stay tune~

media widget

1. are u using vivid radio or stock radio in the app list?

2. weird 'restart' mean vivid restart?

3. media widget doesn't display the name of the station, will fix in later build
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
This recent task looks really like vivid crash somehow. which device and rom are u using? in which country? thanks
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
I found that when waking up the headunit from sleep (nor full boot) when last media was played from USB drive .... media player tries to play to still unmounted USB drive and shows an error that the file is not found....perhaps you have to wait some milisecs to ensure existing drives are mounted properly...

Another bug is that radio is not resumed after hoy boot (wake up from sleep)

Could be added a scroll for the title/artist text on Media player information in order to full display the long song/artists titles/names?

Vivid ROM 15/02 and las vivid launcher version over Dasaita PX6
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Thanks buddy.

1. boot and auto play thing, we'll investigate

2. name of the song will be scroll in the coming release

And a question for you, before we fully integrate RDS, we have the logic, if there is rds data, we'll show rds data in radio name text, if no rds, will show radio name, if no radio name, will show frequency twice, do you think that'll work? or any comments (before the manual naming)
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
I think it is better to put "unnamed" or simply don't put anything in order not to put twice the frequency....until the manual naming could be entered and stored
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
ok cool~ and if the rds available, then not showing radio station name should not be an issue right?
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
When no rds it should be fine to manually edit a name
[MTCD Software Development] urgo2x:
I use Vivid radio and I mean restart of the Vivid launcher.
[MTCD Software Development] urgo2x:
The last Vivid launcher installed over PX6_10_full_Mal-1.2.1 on PX6 device. Poland
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
hmm... thanks for all this, thought we cannot reproduce, will check this carefully. And I guess maybe the ROM compatible issues, if you want you can try VIVID ROM from dasaita, should not has this problem or you can wait for later updates to see if still exist
[MTCD Software Development] urgo2x:
Where can I get Vivid rom to try?

Ok, I have found it.
[MTCD Software Development] wanze2001:
Hello,

I have now also tried the Vivid launcher. Currently I am on the latest rom from Hal9k and the vivid apk here from the forum.

What I noticed is that it does not always work to automatically return to the homescreen! Just when I have e.g. PCRadio on it does not return.

If I start a navigation with the google maps app, the navigation is partially displayed in the Navi part of the split screen, but what does not work is that the map moves with the journey and the route is seen there.

I also find that it takes a relatively long time until the home screen appears after the start. The Vivid icon appears for several seconds.

Is it possible to fix all this?
[MTCD Software Development] urgo2x:
@vivid_1 thank you for your suggestion. It had to be compability issue between the launcher and the malaysk rom. After installing Vivid rom everything look to work fine.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Thanks for feedback. Any suggestion will be welcome

1. autoreturn home should be bug if you said so

2. Sorry to say for google map navigation that's the reality, google don't provide any way to show active route on other apps with sdk or google widget

3. That's should be performance issue, in tuning now, pls stay tune
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Glad to hear that, any feedback will be welcome in the future
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
The time for vivid launcher to be loaded depends on you hal9k ROM that loads lot of stuff and mods prior to the launcher..

For the best experience for vivid launcher I think you have to move to a vivid ROM....go to dasaita.com and download the latest vivid ROM published (feb 15th)
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Thanks for feedback. While we intent to make vivid launcher working in any ROM but things may not go as wish since 3rd party ROM may have lot of customization and may conflict with vivid launcher.

Anyway on the way we are trying to improve the performance for possible better experience.
[MTCD Software Development] Marco_88pd:
hi, i can't see the map on the homepage. how can i solve? i have already tried to reinstall vivid. thank you
[MTCD Software Development] urgo2x:
Do you have internet connection?
[MTCD Software Development] Marco_88pd:
Yes it's Connect with smartphone hotspot
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
which device you are using? does it have google service? which country are you in?
[MTCD Software Development] Marco_88pd:
Dasaita PX6 for Nissan Qashqai. I have google service. I'm from Italy
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
I have some issues nd suggestions to report:

1) When I press the "music" hardware button on the unit, it opens the Old Stock Music App and never goes to the Multimedia extended widget of VIVID. On older VIVID versions ir worked very well, but on this last VIVID ROM it doesnt. Would you mind to correct the shortcut of the button? Why still are old stock Music Apps? on previous posts you told me that you were going to remove those apps that are not being used by Vivid.

2) When in a call, a big fancy red button appears to fininsh the call, but when pressing it, the call dialog disaapear, but the call is not finished...i have to press the "call finish" button from the blutooth call screen.

3) I suggest you to include a button on the media player to quickly access to the Equalizer/Amplifier app in order to tune the DSP for better experience.

4) It seems that Stock Dasaita ROM (labeled as HA3) contains a more modern Stock amplifier/Equalizer app...it has more frequencies to tune.... Would you mind to include this new Equalizar into the future VIVID ROM releases?

5) I know that your USA Telenav colleagues are working into a Alexa enabled assistant. Are you planning to include it? Any ETA for any assistant Vivid integration?

I think it is a MUST an offline assistant for basic operations (call contacts by voice) complemented with an advanced assisnat commands (navigation...etc) in an online mode.

Many thansk for your fantastic work.
[MTCD Software Development] Marco_88pd:
I have Dasaita PX6 with Halk9 mod v5.

Google service it's active. I'm from Italy.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Wow, these are useful information, thanks.

1. Will check and fix

2. You mean hang up on dashboard is not finish the call, you go to vivid phone screen to finish? which phone brand and model are u using? we'll check

3. You mean on dashboard to access Equalizer/Amplifier? Is this a high frequent need, since we think this is low frequent thing so maybe overwhelming on dashboard?

4. Yeah that's a thing we found too, contacting with HCT

5. Hard to say, will release google assistant support next release on next Monday but 1. it's cloud thing 2. there is compatible issue with different PX6 device, some can phone call some not... that's unfortune. offline assistant may need license pay from 3rd party, may not support in roadmap.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Thanks for reply, can you try first open google map app and agree with their terms, then dashboard map should appear if network is ok, anything let us know
[MTCD Software Development] stinkytoes:
Hi Vivid_1,

I am really liking the launcher and it seems to work nicely for my needs, I do however have a couple of questions/bugs.

1. Map view - for some reason the map widget doesnt update at all for me so it is just a gray box with the google logo. I am using the latest version of the app but am not seeing any maps.

2. Widgets - are there any plans to support 3rd party widgets in the launcher - I would like to add a widget to my garage door opener (through the home assistant app).

Thanks for the great launcher please keep up the great work.
[MTCD Software Development] stinkytoes:
It looks like I have a similar issue as Marco_88pd

I tried downloading offline maps on the google maps app and no luck

also my preferred navigation app is Waze if that makes a difference

finally I have dont this on a new install of Vivid on a PX5 android 9 (hal9k) with network access
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Hi thanks for feedback.

2. Widgets issue, this is under evaluated, I think most likely will do, but may take 3 months later.

1. We cannot produce this one, our case is only need go to Google maps app and recenter once, there is a term, agree bla bla, then if google map app load successfully, then vivid should be fine.

I am also wondering if it's because hal9k ROM compatible issue, cause both of u and @Marco_88pd has the same issue. But other users and us don't have.

Please try and let us know the result. Stay tune for vivid updates later, thanks
[MTCD Software Development] laihis:
I'm having this Google maps gray box issue as well and I'm using Malaysk mod. When I open the separate google maps app it is working as usual, no agreements or terms of conditions pops up.
[MTCD Software Development] wanze2001:
where can I find the latest Vivid Rom for PX5?
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
Sorry there is no vivid ROM for.px5....only PX6.... I think your best option is to flash the latest px5 stock ROM (get it from dasaita.com) and install the launcher

Perhaps @vivid_1 plans to release a px5 version of the Rom (as the ROMs share lot of things) in order to cover more more users....and of course the new android 11
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Android 11 should be ready for next Monday's Dasaita release. Of course VIVID launcher already support android 11 for a long time.

For PX5 ROM, we are lack of resources for now. As @ikerg suggest, install latest stock ROM and install vivid launcher, functions should be fine and bt phone and radio, steering wheel supported already.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
hmmm... gray box, let's try to reproduce...
[MTCD Software Development] Arkantolo:
I also have the same problem, it was born with the latest updates. not the one made today by the PlayStore but the previous one. it worked fine before updates.

[MTCD Software Development] IAmNotMe01:
greate Launcher, i have 2 small questions.

1. how can i use the keyboard while driving? i cant use the keyvoard while driving.

2 can i add own widgets in home screen?

thanks in advance
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
I my opinion the use of the keyboard must be an option inside the vivid settings.... I know there is a security reason for that....but keep in mind that until now (I have to check the Google assistant) calling a contact implied to scroll down withing lost of names....while driving....which I think is more dangerous than writing
[MTCD Software Development] blairpoodle:
Android 11 support (Update ROM from 10 to 11 please contact Dasaita

Say what now???
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Thanks for feedback.

1. Will fix this one, I'd like to just remove the forbidden of keyboard while driving, will do in next release

2. Current not possible cause Android native widget has all kinds of style will make vivid dashboard looks messy, in consideration of this feature now, stay tune
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Yes, will remove that next release.

For google assistant to call, ideally voice will recognize your contact and make calling directly. But we did find google has compatible issue among devices, can you add a video of your case when convenient, thanks.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Vivid launcher support android 11 naturally for a long time if you already have a android 11 headunit. But if not, if you want to burn android 10 to android 11, you may contact Dasaita (the dealer of headunit) to get the android 11 ROM.
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
Android 11 OTA ROM will be published on dasaita website.

Instructions on how to upgrade from any android version to android 11 will be published as well.... Stay tuned on dasaita.com
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
Is there any feature that only is available under android 11?
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
So far No, just adapt to android 11, anything you want from android 11?
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
Not specifically.... Just for curiosity.

By the way.....good looking for the rds text in both screen and music widget.thank you
[MTCD Software Development] Al Ferro:
I got this OTA Zip
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
You can't upgrade from android 10 to android 11 directly.

You must to perform a recovery partition upgrade to 11 first...
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Glad that you like it, thank u for nice suggestion.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Yes, right, they have some PC software to wire burn that I suppose.
[MTCD Software Development] blairpoodle:
From where?
[MTCD Software Development] IAmNotMe01:
thanks for your reply. i'll wait :)
[MTCD Software Development] pakoner:
is it possible to have the logos of the fm stations?
