vivid_1 - first thanks for a great Car launcher! Here is the Swedish translation for it. Might not be 100% correct but its a good start and its better than no translation at all. I dont have a Google account at the moment so i upload the VIVID_translated_strings.xlsx here:

@vivid_1

I installed the VIVID ROM version from 2022.05.18. and still the same problem with SYGIC :(

I checked again:

older ROM HA3 on which Sygic also worked and it is the same. I even uploaded Sygic from "another source" that works, I did not log in to Google and still the same error :( All the apps I've used and use work from Google Play. Only Sygic does not start. As if something is blocking this application. Maybe some system security? Already falling hands :( HELP
[MTCD Software Development] Solvin:
Hi. The weather widget is not working. It shows always network error, but my device is connected via WiFi Hotspot.

Since the new update on an MTCD/E car radio, it can no longer be started and, according to other reviews, this will no longer be fixed. Too bad.

Sygic.

26. Juni 2022

Hello Walter. Please accept our most sincere apologies for the situation, we are currently aware of this problem with Android auto radios. It may be fixed in one of the future updates, but I cannot guarantee it, as the app is designed and tested for phones and tablets, not custom Android head units or radios. Thank you! Sofia, Customer Care
[MTCD Software Development] Solvin:
And another strange problem:

Playing music via spotify. After incoming messages (whatsapp, facebook etc.) the media player is automatically switching to bluetooth music and spotify is stopped.
[MTCD Software Development] gilal:
But just a week ago, sygic was running on an earlier version of VIVID. But I have already tried on different versions of HA3, VIVID and the same error :(
[MTCD Software Development] Bettman66:
I have now flashed the firmware again and downloaded and installed the latest sygic apk 22.1.2-2059 before login into the Playstore. Sygic works here now.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
But looks like I cannot download it~ can you attach excel xda attachment?
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
HCT is killing people... no response about this one so far, sorry you can report this on dasaita website to push...
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
yo

you are using latest version right? where's your city and country
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
that's the reply of sygic developer?
[MTCD Software Development] iionas:
if this happens ill swap over immediately
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
o? this shouldn't exist, are you using the latest version? and this is always reproducible? We'll also check our side.
[MTCD Software Development] gilal:
But you use Vivid on what hardware? Because I have already uploaded several times and older editions of VIVID ROM, HA3 and still was this error

This is probably some new version because now I looked at Google Play is lower 22.1.1.2051
[MTCD Software Development] gilal:
Thank you for your reply

I will try to write on the DASAITA forum. Maybe they will write something back. Thanks again for your reply
[MTCD Software Development] Solvin:
Yes, latest Version from Playstore. Location is Dresden, Germany. As a test, I installed Vivid on my smartphone. The weather is displayed there. However, location services are all active on my Android 10 car radio.
[MTCD Software Development] Bettman66:
I downloaded the version 22.1.2-2059 from apkmirror and the playstore tells me it's the latest.

My Rom is from the Dasaita Forum HCT8_rk3399_11.0_ota2820220412.
[MTCD Software Development] gilal:
Thank you for your reply

I will see the sea and I will be able to download and install. I use VIVID ROM. But I tried and on HA3 there was an error

Edition:

I uninstalled the non-working version of SYGIC, reset the radio, downloaded this version higher, installed and ... WORKS!!! :) THANK YOU VERY MUCH MATE
[MTCD Software Development] Solvin:
Yes latest Version. Yes I can reproduce it. Every incoming message is switching the Input to Bluetooth Music.
[MTCD Software Development] dawid_11223:
When can you expect the Polish language version?
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
OK will check that, BTW what's your headunit?
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
You are using PX6 right? ok, will check that~ recently we found some headunit ROM don't support standard api to get city from lat lon, will let you know if we have results.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
can be expected in next release if Polish is well translated. assuming the end of July
[MTCD Software Development] Solvin:
I use the VIVID-Launcher (not ROM) on a Kingbeats K2 Plus with Android 10 (UIS7862) FYT unit.
[MTCD Software Development] pheff:
Perfect, I've already tried it and it works! Thank you!
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
OK weird though, FYT unit cannot see radio/bt phone right? I think vivid don't support FYT hardware official.
[MTCD Software Development] Solvin:
I can see BT Phone function of Vivid, that's working. For radio function, I have another app.
[MTCD Software Development] urgo2x:
I made it and I think it's made very well. 😅
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
OK will check~
[MTCD Software Development] sieutathan98:
I installed the vivid launcher app but when it comes in, it crashes. everyone help me
[MTCD Software Development] dawid_11223:
will more car brands be added? I have an opel vectra c and I saw that there is no Opel to choose from on the menu
[MTCD Software Development] ZeekWorld:
Bug?

Selecting the house or suitcase icons on the maps main dash does nothing.
[MTCD Software Development] dawid_11223:
will you create a new third theme like this example?
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Yes this will be changed. While for now select car model don't affect any functions FYI.
[MTCD Software Development] ZeekWorld:
wow, what os is that!!! looks amazing
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
o ~ you'v set home/work address right? since these function only integrate with google and waze map for now (they provide the related api to launch), so I saw your main map is others, that should be the issue. We will try to improve this in the future.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
This is awkward.. since you can never launch vivid so we cannot get the crash reason. can you please try change your system languages to English and try launch see if that's ok?
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
3rd theme will be possible, but I doubt will very much like this. the right up corner nav reminds me this is the ROM stock launcher which customize the ROM so that the map app can run on the specific window, that means only system can do that. thanks for your feedback.
[MTCD Software Development] ZeekWorld:
so if I set the navigation app something different than Google Maps or Waze the Google maps navigation widget shortcuts don't launch?

This should be consider a bug, the shortcuts should call for Google maps no matter what the navigation is set to since they are on the Google maps widget.
[MTCD Software Development] ZeekWorld:
What about a widget to mimic the top right window where any app can be displayed? I wonder if there are app for this, like floating window.
[MTCD Software Development] sieutathan98:
how to change to english. my language is vietnamese . My CH Play is vietnamese .I installed the app successfully, but when I open it, it shows the vivid logo but it pops out again.this is my clip
[MTCD Software Development] dawid_11223:
maybe like this the color of this blue with pink is very nice and fits nicely. In addition, the graphics of the car and the counter do the job. The mape with navigation could be placed permanently in the eye as it is now in vivid. Side keys assigned to the main menu etc. Bottom keys for selecting an application. I think many people would like such a theme
[MTCD Software Development] dawid_11223:
I saw such a theme on the TS10 model

https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/4000984294161.html?srcSns=sns_Copy&spreadType=socialShare&bizType=ProductDetail&social_params=60169525524&aff_fcid=e15bd4f06cb240d98ed8c506ba50bcc2-1656680442164-03971-_uwJUca&tt=MG&aff_fsk=_uwJUca&aff_platform=default&sk=_uwJUca&aff_trace_key=e15bd4f06cb240d98ed8c506ba50bcc2-1656680442164-03971-_uwJUca&shareId=60169525524&businessType=ProductDetail&platform=AE&terminal_id=aa5d59587424420fa488f3cc6a69cf6a&afSmartRedirect=y
[MTCD Software Development] urgo2x:
I really don't like this dashboard. What's the reason to have a car graphics which takes the half of the screen for nothing? If you like it there are alternative launchers like Car Launcher Pro or CarWebGuru launcher that have similar themes. Vivid has it's own style which IMHO is much better and therefore I choose it. Of course it's only my opinion.
[MTCD Software Development] dawid_11223:
Car Launcher Pro or CarWebGuru have poor themes. The one I presented is brilliant. The colors are very nice, I like the cool layout and not only to me. But everyone has a different taste: D

And I think for them it is not a problem to create another layout and graphic theme
[MTCD Software Development] ZeekWorld:
The capability of customized widgets on dashboard main screen specially the top right active window would be amazing
[MTCD Software Development] dawid_11223:
so this theme looks really good, I wonder if you can download it somewhere
[MTCD Software Development] gilal:
As you can see, opinions are divided :) For me launcher and rom VIVID with this layout is ok. The view of this car at a speed that occupies most of the screen is an exaggeration and in my opinion unnecessary information as you have the car's desktop in front of you. Gentlemen from TEEM VIVID should stick to their visions, improve and add options for their work. Of course, this is my opinion and I respect the opinion, the view of other.
[MTCD Software Development] dawid_11223:
So they can also correct the Thai version because people will love it too. And it will always be an additional new version that will have something different. One likes the original, dear version with only tiles, and still others can enjoy the next one :) So I strongly encourage the men from the VIVID team to create such a theme for us. Regards
[MTCD Software Development] Thehoodedclaw_uk:
Hi, firstly I have to say what a great looking launcher. :cool::cool::cool::cool:

Trying to get my bluetooth and radio to work but no luck.

It's an Erisin ES8129D DSP 8-Core Android 10.0 Head unit, has a Rockchips PX5 1512MHz Cortex A53 cpu.

Any idea if it's possible with this unit, the DABz works a treat with it.

Thanks for any help.
[MTCD Software Development] Solvin:
Are there any plans to port the app to FYT (UIS7862) devices at some point, so the phone and radio works? All the other features work great. I mean, the FYT community is huge and the current head units are top notch. I would pay for that as well.
[MTCD Software Development] stinkytoes:
Hi there, thank you for keeping this under active development it is a really great launcher. I have a feature request:

Selection of media source on start up

This could let you override the default (last used source) for a specific source, for example always set to Bluetooth input.

In this example the phone will be the primary audio source while apps like Spotify will get media preference only when launched.

Just a suggestion
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Yes, widget should launch any nav app you use(which is show 2nd place in bottom bar). If you have the issue, should be bug. Please provide which nav app and your vivid version.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
that

that's system capability as well. or app itself do that, vivid as 3rd party app cannot do.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
will consider in the future. nice
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Thanks for feedback. Lots of users are asking this, but we are not sure how many platform FYT has, anyway we have a plan right now, could be in vivid in the future.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Thanks for suggestion. But I am not quite clear about your user scene, can you explain a little bit more?
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
on the 4th floor of this post, there is a google doc need help on translation, if you'd provide Thai translation, that will be very helpful.
[MTCD Software Development] ZeekWorld:
I uploaded a video replicating the issue on my post. Latest Vivid release.
[MTCD Software Development] dawid_11223:
@vivid_1

I stick to the topic. I installed "Waze" navigation Unfortunately, the navigation window has not changed to waze, but is still from google maps. How can this be changed?
[MTCD Software Development] 0kira0:
This launcher looks and feel amazing.

I would like to see the map bigger on the classic dashboard, and give less space to the music widget (because is has a lot of negative space unused)
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
thanks for suggestion, will report to team for plan
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
I'v explained a lot in the forum lol. Waze don't provide api for 3rd party app to show their map or nav.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Checked your video. I'd say that's a design issue. Vivid home/work/search now only support google and waze cause we integrate certain api to do that. In vivid we have a 'main map' concept that means the map app you use on the 2nd place of bottom bar. If you are using Magic Earth, if click home/work vivid goes to google map, that looks like a bug as well. Very interesting feedback, thanks. We will consider to improve those functions to make it clearer.
[MTCD Software Development] jpdrm:
Hello,

The weather is showing a paradise's forecast, but in Los Angeles, Chile is raining with 5°c, any way to fix it?

thanks
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
lol~ we now use a free source of weather information. data is not good enough... maybe later we'll evaluate some paid weather or something else.
[MTCD Software Development] urgo2x:
It's weird. In my location the weather forecast is correct. I have not noticed such failures. I'll observe it.
[MTCD Software Development] 0kira0:
It looks like it gets Los Angeles - California :')
[MTCD Software Development] 0kira0:
As an idea: map bigger space in homescreen and buttons transparency
[MTCD Software Development] Solvin:
Is there a way to use the light mode of Google Maps but at the same time the dark mode design of Vivid? I find Google Maps much too dark, but Vivid looks much better in dark mode.
[MTCD Software Development] urgo2x:
Exactly. 😀

Hi @JPDR, check your location in the android settings.
[MTCD Software Development] jpdrm:
foreca is free and works fine
[MTCD Software Development] Kevkos1983:
Loving the launcher. Been using it a few weeks now.

Is there any plans for integration with the BMW idrive system?
[MTCD Software Development] jpdrm:
thanks, It´s fine. I use another APP without problem
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Thanks, have a plan on this, but quick question, since you know we cannot show google active routing on home page, do you guys think make the map bigger ok under this situation?
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
interesting~ will think about this as a config in the future.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
I guess you can only use as a launcher, we don't have BMW hardware api to do that lol~ but glad to know thanks.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
OK what's your location city and country, let's try to find out the issue~
[MTCD Software Development] urgo2x:
Good point. I think that it's better to keep the current ratio, that is 50% for map and 50% for media. I use much more often the media part and it's better to keep it's current size.
[MTCD Software Development] jpdrm:
Los angeles , BIO BIO, Chile -37.480384, -72.342966. thanks!!
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
ok will check, guess we just get from city name~ lol
[MTCD Software Development] urgo2x:
Hi @vivid_1, I have just realised that you changed the mode button behavior. Now, I can switch between Vivid radio, Vivid local music, Bluetooth and Spotify. It's a great improvement 👍. Thank you 😊.
[MTCD Software Development] Nhokas:
After some time using the launcher i have these suggestions:

Option to order the favorite radio stations;

Option to change the gps program on the main screen (use waze or other)

In case of the above one not being possible, the option to put the google maps with earth view;

Also, as previously reported, the BT audio on phone conversations is very low.....

Thank you for your work
[MTCD Software Development] stinkytoes:
Thanks for the response,

I am suggesting that there be an option to set the music source when the device is restarted,

In this photo here there are the 3 options (BT, Local & Radio)

Current behaviour is to return to the last used one.

My suggestion it to have an option to let the user select the default audio source on startup.

e.g. always set to bluetooth when the device starts

I hope that clarifies things.

Cheers

Phil
[MTCD Software Development] sieutathan98:
Help me!!!
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
lol~ guess we have some product hint issue, this should be there for months~ enjoy and let us know if anything.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
1. will check, possible

2. Not possible cause e.g. waze don't provide such api for 3rd party app to do that.

3. earth view... interesting.

4. BT audio volume, you are using px6 right? and use vivid as rom or launcher?
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Yeah, cleared, will check the suggestions. Thanks for letting us know. Feedback if anything more.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
o~ hey, sorry for late reply. Since we cannot get the crash information online. can you help to check and upload log file here so that we can check the issues.

/storage/emulated/0/logger or

/sdcard/logger

upload the foler and files to us and will help, thanks.
[MTCD Software Development] urgo2x:
Hi @vivid_1 I think that it's because I used HA3 and malaysk ROMS together with the Vivid launcher and the another tool from xda to remap the mode button plus SWK to remap other buttons. :) When I installed the Vivid ROM I kept using my setups. Recently I installed the latest Vivid ROM so I had a clean and fresh installation and then I discovered that the mode button is working fine 🙂.
[MTCD Software Development] Nhokas:
Has Rom.
[MTCD Software Development] sieutathan98:
I download the version on ch play. Folder and files where to watch
[MTCD Software Development] jpdrm:
Maybe you might add de possibility of enable/disable some VIVID widget and tp put android widget in the main page (not at side page). thanks for that you do guys!!
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
OK will check
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
The foler I mentioned above please
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
That's something we used to consider while since android widget were designed all kinds of, if we do that, the dashboard will look really messy~ removing vivid widget will be possible in the future release.
[MTCD Software Development] urgo2x:
Hi @vivid_1, the Vivid ROM is complete for me now. It's beautiful, convenient and good for daily usage. However, I have 2 remarks. :)

1. I noticed that it needs to be restarted from time to time. If for example WiFi or other things stop working then restart solve the problem. It happens not to often, maybe once a week.

2. I need to leave my car at the dealer from time to time for a check-up. It's good to lock the screen for that and this feature had been already implemented. However, it could be good to allow my dealer to use the rear camera even if the screen is locked. I don't want they hit my car because they couldn't use it. Any chance to implement that solution 🤔?
[MTCD Software Development] pablosso:
I have MTCE PX5 HU with physical buttons. Now when I click BAND button, then radio app will open.

Yesterday I've installed VIVID Launcher and when I open radio app (from app drawer or by BAND button) then FM is not working.

The only way to radio working is to choose radio from VIVID's music widget. Is there any way to launch VIVID's radio app from this BAND button?

Other "issue" for me is when someone is calling to me, there is two separate call popups on screen.

ROM: Hal9k 5.1.0
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Hey man, glad you like it~ please do feedback if any bugs or thoughts. For the issues

1. wifi not working? Next time if you met, you can report a bug to us, let's check if it's vivid or rom

2. That's possible as my first thought, need check with team for it if we can get the rear camera signal.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
these all because behaviors in vivid is conflicting with ROM I guess
[MTCD Software Development] hal752:
Hi firstly great Rom.

I have a teyes cc2+ and the ROM works fine however I've noticed a bug.

Screen wise it's cut off slightly at the bottom. Is there a way to fix this?

Also I would like to change from kph to mph but there doesn't seem to be a option?
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Hi teyes can use px6 rom? or you are using vivid launcher apk?

screen cut should be fixed in next release on Jul 29. change from kph to mph you can go to vivid setting, there is 'unit' and you can change from metric to imperial it will work. also in next release, the distance unit and temperature unit will be separate settings.
[MTCD Software Development] hal752:
Can I install a px6 Rom on this? I'm using the apk however if the ROM install is possible il.do that?
[MTCD Software Development] dawid_11223:
@vivid_1 when can the new update be expected?
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
I guess cannot, please use launcher.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Assuming the end of this month.
[MTCD Software Development] jonnyspurukl:
Why am I always getting weather widget error all the time. Won't load weather "Failed to load Weather" on classic theme or on card theme " Network error, please try again later" Is connected fine to tethered phone data..location UK, language English UK
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
There is some mis-understanding, I mean the search in the left map is working... are you using the latest version?
[MTCD Software Development] blairpoodle:
I have been trying but when I try an address the search doesn't work. It'll work for the presets, coffee, parking etc. but it doesn't return any results for normal addresses. I am on latest Vivid ROM.
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
I am a bit confused about the differences in functionality between vivid as launcher only and vivid integrated into the hct ROM.

Would you mind to explain what differences are or what are part of the design intention?

In the same way it could be useful for you that people when posting for any bug start with the following in order to filter from already addressed issues:

1.ViVID version:

2.ROM stock or custom (Malaysk/Hal9k)?

3.Is Vivid integrated ROM (for stock ROMs)?

4.ROM build number:
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Latest launcher version is 4.10.3295, launcher in ROM as well. Pls check, last version has that bug but latest already fix search issue...if not pls attach a picture to help us address that
[MTCD Software Development] blairpoodle:
So, I've checked search works, but opens the main Google Maps so you end up with something like this. with one map minimised on the bottom right, the left pane displaying directions but with the map orientated the reverse of the main Google Map. tbh it's a bit of a mess and a tad distracting. Have I misconfigured something? Is there a setting I'm missing which would make the left pane actually show the directions on the map?
[MTCD Software Development] pskopylov:
Hello everybody. For some reason, the "Bluetooth" tab is not shown for me when I turn on music via Bluetooth. Only the Local Music tab is shown. Why is that? After all, the screenshots of the application have all the tabs available - Local Music, Bluetooth, Spotify ...
