I've got a Dasaita Vivid for Qashqai 2016.

Have installed on it Spotify and Dab-Z, and i have smartphone connected with bluetooth.

I have this problem: listening Spotify or Dab-Z or Youtube (not normal radio), when i receive a message on smartphone, or resume it from stand-by, or put it on stand-by, the volume of Dasaita decreases for a few seconds! always!!

Is quite boring. there is an option to avoid this volume issue? thanks
[MTCD Software Development] nicebaby:
Another thing...

In home page the default map view (left side) is 2D. I like to view it in 3D, but when i set the 3D view, leaving home page , the view turns on 2D. So next time i open home page is still 2D.

Can't you memorize the default view for the left side of home page (the map view)?
[MTCD Software Development] Don Kihoty:
Great, cant wait for the next release, to test the Play/Pause Button, and hope that Day/Night theme will be fixed too!

And the split-screen should be great too!
[MTCD Software Development] nicebaby:
Also...

I have already installed last release, but:

On spotify using steer button skips ahead of two songs.

Top android bar covers the top left button on spotify home (the home button) .

You could make disappear the android bar after a few seconds and eventually reapper sliding down the top side of tablet...

[MTCD Software Development] The_IronBeast:
I too have noticed the media volume issue. It is a though when notifications come in the system the media lowers as designed but does not return the volume to previous levels. Also, having the ability to adjust the Google Assistant or Google Map Navigation volume in Android Auto separate from the media volume would be a great fix. Currently there is only one volume setting. Perhaps these issues are related.
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
There are two versions of vivid:

* stock ROM with vivid launcher

* ROM based vivid

Which are the differences?

According to the comments it seems vivid based Roms present more bugs.....(volume/swc integration/....)

Is expected from both versions to have the SAME functionality?
[MTCD Software Development] KhangTran476:
I recommend you to use a Stock rom from Dasaita or a Mod rom from Hal9k or Malaysk. Then install VIVID launcher. I see no difference other than Vivid Rom Base has an installer to download their apps. So, but I highly recommend you to use Hal9k's Rom Mod, because he optimized the GPS connected to satellites and made the map on Vivid launcher less delay, helping Navi icon on Vivid launcher moving smoothly and faster.

The only bug VIVID's team still haven't fixed is that the music switch forward and backward jumps twice sometime.

[MTCD Software Development] Don Kihoty:
I would suggest the Official Vivid ROM, because it is possible to switch back to Max10 ROM, if needed, without any complication or having to boot to recovery, because it may fail sometimes.

Yesterday the Dasaita added the new Vivid ROM, with the current Vivid Louncher:

Malaysk/Hal9k will be the last solution, if there is not a official Android 10 ROM, becaouse non of them support the Official Dasaita GPS module + some other annoying things. And yes, there are not free + not official,

and if your device get bricked, you are **** out of luck.

[MTCD Software Development] KhangTran476:
Many people still think that the last things are good, but in fact, stability is what you need. I really appreciate Hal9k's Rom, he really does a great job when optimizing GPS chip, he makes GPS chip start up very fast and can see maximum satellites to help you track your location become more accurate each meter.
[MTCD Software Development] zigzag69:
So nothing guys?
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
@KhangTran476 did you freeze stock apps like bluetooth/music/radio in order not to interfere with the vivid launcher?

In my case the swc button for opening the phone screen goes to the classic Bluetooth app of the stock/Hal9k rom

zlink (android auto) still connects with a very low volume. It seems that it is under constant notification as when you press pause volume raise up before pausing. Google assistant sounds at good volume but spotify doesn't.

Differences found between the vivid rom.and the stock+vivid:

Contacts are displayed without blank.spaces: ther are displayed as "Familyname1Famlilyname2Name" (with no separator blank spaces) instead of "Name Familyname1 Familyname2". On vivid rom.they were displayed correctly
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Weird though, we are confirming with Dasaita and HCT why this is happening, we didn't change that function
[MTCD Software Development] nicebaby:
Good morning!

Just installed last update!

what a boring issue: play music stops (radio, dab-z, spotify, etc..) when i resume smartphone from stand-by or when i put it on stand-by... (turn on or turn off display)!
[MTCD Software Development] Solvin:
The update in the PlayStore is really strange. Why from version 5 to 6? I can't see any changes so far. Also, you can't find the Vivid Launcher in the PlayStore anymore, except through the direct link. Furthermore, it seems that the official website has been taken offline, it is also no longer indexed on Google. I think Vivid is just saying goodbye or (what I hope) they are starting a complete relaunch.
[MTCD Software Development] mronetwo163:
The same problem! There was a version 5.10.3470. Updated to 6.3.3516. Now I can't pass activation. More than one version does not pass activation!
[MTCD Software Development] Solvin:
If you installed Vivid directly via APK, you can't update via the PlayStore, only directly via Vivid. There is no way around a reinstallation, but this is not recommended, because it seems activation is blocked.
[MTCD Software Development] Solvin:
Tried it via Smartphone and yes, activation is not possible. Vivid is now gone.
[MTCD Software Development] mronetwo163:
they can't silently release updates and close access to it. This is not fair to the users. If they had made an app purchase I would have bought!
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Activation have been fixed, please have a try.
[MTCD Software Development] mcgyver83:
Now that activation looks back, how to uninstall Vivid from my android PX6 (Dasaita) device?

It gets installed by default when I updated the ROM.

"Vivid Activation" means the dedicated menu screen where you can add username?

Not Andrid one I mean.

[MTCD Software Development] mcgyver83:
I already installed the Vivid Android 11 rom from that forum post but if I access Vivid App on play store using the direct link it shows me "Update" button.

Reading above could be that Vivid is not reachable anymore for me using search google play feature due the US only business choice?

If you try to upgrade from appstore you will get an error during installation
[MTCD Software Development] jlbooth:
You will need to get a firmware that does

include Vivid from the Dasaita forum. After installing the firmware with wipe data checkbox checked you will no longer have Vivid installed. This is what you asked "how to uninstall"

[MTCD Software Development] bigtree2011:
Hi, I updated it through Google Store. I do have an issue. When " Return to home page automatically" is enabled in VIVID Car Launcher, even the unit is connected to carplay, it still goes back to home page after 30 secs or 1 minute. This doesn't make sense especially when you are in navigation. I wonder if it's the bug of VIVID Car Launcher or the system. Hope you guys can fix it. Thanks.
[MTCD Software Development] vesp:
i have to revise my statement ... this works in version 5.x not in 6.3.x :(

so i think its a bug.
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
It is bug.already present on previous versions....it is needed a blacklist of apps in which nit automatically return to home
[MTCD Software Development] dishe2:
I have an FYT radio (Atoto S8, UIS7862 FYT hardware), and last time I tried Vivid was a while ago.

It was buggy on my setup, but I know it wasn't officially supported yet so I expected it. I tried other launchers too but eventually went with something more stock AOSP looking.

I'm revisiting the idea now because Vivid did something extremely well that no one else has yet:

Integrate all currently playing media into a global music control widget.

I loved that I had a single player area on screen for all my sources, and universal buttons that controlled it whether it be Spotify, Amazon, or even streaming via Blueooth from my phone! It displayed the track name and artist when applicable, and when available it displayed album art too if I recall correctly.

I miss that. No other launcher handled this as well as Vivid that I've tried. I see now that Vivid is only going to be available for US markets going forward... I'm in the US so that's not a problem for me, but have you guys considered just making a standard Android widget that can be used in any launcher that supports widgets?

That would solve a lot of problems for those with overall compatibility issues, and maybe present an option for those in countries that can't support the full fledged launcher?

There are a lot of music widgets out there that claim to be "universal", I've tried pretty much all of them- they tend to not work with headunit-specific sources like Bluetooth. Feels like you guys have already got the system figured out in a way that you can probably make something like this pretty easily and it would work across the board for MTCD and FYT units I think!
[MTCD Software Development] sandpita:
Have you tried Ubiquity Music Widget?

Ubiquity Music Widget - Apps on Google Play

A clean and simple universal music widget for Android 4.4+

play.google.com

​
[MTCD Software Development] dishe2:
Someone mentioned that one before, but it won't install on modern versions of the OS.

I tried installing it in my car but gave an error that it was made for a previous version of Android.

Also, since the Bluetooth system is proprietary I'm not sure the track information etc is handled the same way other system audio is. I tried some other more modern "universal widgets" and they showed my Spotify, YouTube music or Amazon music correctly, but never my Bluetooth. When streaming over from my phone, the widget still showed track information for whatever music app I used last.

Only launchers like Vivid seem to get this integration correctly. Maybe ubiquity is special but I don't see anything about it supporting head unit car audio and besides, I can't install it to find out!
[MTCD Software Development] tjr5269:
Is there any way to speed up the carplay launch speed? It seems like it takes about a minute to launch. And the audio cuts out when I go into reverse
[MTCD Software Development] dishe2:
Aren't those functions of the radio and not the launcher? I don't think vivid has any control over that.
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
Indeed....carplay/androidAuto are features controlled exclusively by zlink app. Launcher has not any control.over it
[MTCD Software Development] tjr5269:
I see, I thought I set auto launch through VIVID for zlink app. Anyway I'll search or find the proper thread to post in
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
For MTCD type units....this is the thread:

https://xdaforums.com/t/zlink-app.4030365//unread
[MTCD Software Development] dishe2:
so, it turns out sideloaded Ubiquity does work!

Just can't get it from the Play Store because it thinks it will be incompatible.

The problem is, it still only seems to work with installed apps like Spotify and Amazon Music. Bluetooth streaming still doesn't show up and would need to be controlled/monitored via the BT app. There's a bunch of music widgets out there that also do that- I know it's possible for a widget to also do BT because launchers like this can do it!
[MTCD Software Development] Xcaptain:
I inadvertently activated valet lock, and I cannot recall the password. Is there anyway to reset?
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
Probably with a factory reset....(wipe data from recovery menu)?
[MTCD Software Development] dishe2:
Holy smokes - ok Vivid team, I have to admit.

I tried it a year ago and it was very wonky on my FYT unit, but after failing to get a universal audio widget working, I decided to try vivid again just now... And OMG. You guys. You fixed the Fyt bugs. This is magic.

Not only are the aesthetics fire, the music control is PERFECT. 😍

And the one feature no one said we could have - that Bluetooth audio can be allowed to play even if the system is playing other audio- you've managed to do!!!

I'm sold. I'm a believer. This is the best launcher!

Only two things I'm trying to figure out to make it perfect imo:

1) my unit has a sim card for data, but it seems Vivid only allows me to set up a connection for WiFi, the cellular option is greyed out. When I try to turn it on, I get an error about not having permission, but I don't see where I can enable permission for that. The connection works for all my streaming apps and things, but for some reason vivid ignores it.

2) Can we add more shortcuts to apps other than the 7 on the bottom? The ones you have there are very useful and should stay there (phone, app drawer, music, etc) but it doesn't leave room for much else. I want to add shortcuts to things like YouTube, Chrome, CarLink, etc. Preferably I would like to have an icon with a title under it for these entries. Is there a widget for it that I need to enable or something? Or are we limited with the 7 small icons

Hello, I would like to ask if anyone knows a bluettoth app that plays music from the phoen and is detected from the Vivid launcher as a music app.

The stock bluettoth app on my phone works fine, but is not detected at all from the launcher, Vivid sees apps like youtube music, poweramp and spotify so it doesn't seem blind like google maps that only sees a couple they allowed to be seen (when years ago it the music player appeared for any music app).

I would love to being able to use the integrated mini-player to control my BT music.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

[MTCD Software Development] louwii_fr:
Does Vivid launcher supports adding a home button and back button in the task bar? I don't have physical buttons on my HU and I rely on the buttons in the task bar to navigate. If Vivid doesn't have that, I won't be able to use it.
[MTCD Software Development] deltaone11:
Hi I'm a new user of Vivid. First off I love the look and feel of the launcher, but I am having some issues with it.

I have a YT5760b head unit vertical mounted. Its running the latest software available for it, 1.37.7 I think. The support team behind this head unit is terrible and pretty much zero help. In hindsight I wish I had done more research about head units and software before buying, but thats my fault.

I've run into so many issues with this head unit, so if anyone knows of custom roms, firmware, or hacks for this head unit please point me in that direction. But for the purpose of this post on vivid, pretty much my only main issue is the home screen. I think partly because of the bottom navigation banner on the head unit itself (for ac control and otherwise, but I havE that disabled as I have manual air) the whole launcher home page is slammed together, and I don't see a way to modify or resize the home screen. If there is a way to modify what goes on the home screen or the sizes, that would be perfect but I haven't found one yet.

Second issue, is actually more of a question, do I have to use google maps? I love the live map view on the home page, and I have tried to replicate this 'live map' widget on other launchers without success. So I like that vivid just has this by default. But I'm curious if I could potentially replace it with another mapping service.

One other question I have is if it is possible to replace the icon pack for vivid? Not a deal breaker for me by any stretch, but some of the stock apps that come with the car have awful icons that don't match vivids apps.

Thank you in advance for any help or advice. Like I said the support team for this head unit stinks and I've banged my head against the wall ALOT.
[MTCD Software Development] Pavel-71:
You won't get any support here either, development here has ended. Try another launcher from google play, for example Car Launcher, which you can customize as you need, or CarWebGuru. There are videos on youtube, they also work vertically:

The maps only show the current location and you have to be online, as far as I know, so far only google maps and yandex maps. None shows the route, so the function is more or less useless, but that's a matter of opinion. You can also change icons with Car Launcher, just install any icons you like. You can create your own backgrounds and arrange everything on them as you need. Here I tested CL in BlueStack and the basic unmodified looks like this:
[MTCD Software Development] marjanoos:
If anyone came for Vivid, he came because of the design. Of course it's a matter of taste but both car launcher and carwebguru desings are outdated.
[MTCD Software Development] deltaone11:
Thanks for the help and advice. Unfortunately I've tried both webcarguru and car launcher. Neither work too well, and are pretty limited in functionality. On top of it they both look pretty dated like android KitKat or before.

But thanks for the help. I'm going to dig into the head unit a bit more and see if I can access adb shell on it to work on it.
[MTCD Software Development] sandpita:
Car Launcher & Carweb guru are not outdated, use your imaginary skills to get it to do what you want. Here is a screen shot of my Carweb guru screen.
[MTCD Software Development] deltaone11:
I've tried with carwebguru, but had a lot of issues with it. Its possible that some of my issues are because of my head unit, but it was very frustrating dealing with crashes, random reboots, weird aspect ratios etc. Plus the big one that got me was I wanted to have a 'live' map widget on the home screen and I couldn't get that to work for nothing. Maybe I was missing things but it didn't work out for me.

Your setup looks pretty good though. What brand and model of head unit is this?
[MTCD Software Development] sandpita:
Dasaita PX6.

@vivid_1

Thank you for the great work on this launcher. If the development has stopped on it can I suggest reverting the google play version to 5.10.3470 that version had been very stable and I did not experience any issues or bugs with it. The latest version (6.3.3516) has a few bugs such as waze icon opening google maps and on physical home button press I sometimes randomly get asked which launcher to use even though vivid is set as always use (this never happened in 5.10.3470).

Installing 5.10.3470 right now causes google play to always show theres an update available and I can't use the update all option since it would update vivid.

Thanks again for giving us the option of such a great and modern looking launcher.
[MTCD Software Development] jonnyspurukl:
You can simply hit update all and then hit the cross next to vivid and it won't update vivid but will the rest
[MTCD Software Development] tycoon18:
That is risky. It depends on what order the update will happen. If it chooses vivid first the update will be almost instant.
