Personally i love to being tracked by the map while driving. It helps finding streets in a foreign place and avoiding traffic. Map screen must be big as possible. Maybe you can make this selectable, some like music player bigger.

Suggested theme looks very nice.

I'm listening music with BT streaming and there is no album cover, can you make a nice BT logo instead of blank cover photo.

And i reported you before, google maps tracking jumpy. Location circle jumps jumps jumps to track you, not smooth like destination set. Yandex maps excellent in this area i think. I tracks you smoothly even course not set.

And thank you for developing your app based on our ideas.

And i can pay for that, i'm very interested with car launchers. Trying to make android HU looking great everytime and more functionable. I bought many launchers but this is best for what i want.
[MTCD Software Development] sky_frog:
I`ve seen one dashboard for XYAUTO units. It has fully functional navigation in the frame of ANY navigations programs - google maps, waze, yandex etc. It may be possible to use the program code from this launcher. This launcher and preview are here. Also Car Launcher app has same google maps or yandex. I think theese map kits is free for use. Demo yandex map kit.

@vivid_1

There is a very very bad bug in the last version (Launcher). If I open DAB-Z, than VIVID is crashing every time. It's not possible to use VIVID. I rolled back to version 5.7
[MTCD Software Development] cassyandy:
I also have big issues with the last release.

The launcher crash every time and doesn't correctly start.
[MTCD Software Development] nicebaby:
It crashes everytime
[MTCD Software Development] nicebaby:
With dab z
[MTCD Software Development] CitizenInsane69:
I knew I shouldn't have update ... Release of today also crashing here :)

I need to erase app data/cache, then somehow works but media widget no longer recognise/synchronize anything except "fm radio" ... If I power off/on again, then I have a message saying vivid is no longer working.

How to roll back to previous version (and keep a precious backup of it) ?

*Edit* ==> My bad, apk-link for previous versions is on first page of this thread
[MTCD Software Development] rathmannm:
Same here I'm afraid @vivid_1 . Have completely uninstalled the old version and then installed the new one but it is still crashing!
[MTCD Software Development] nicebaby:
@vivid_1

We can't use DAB-Z or others RADIO app... It crashes everytime.

Doesn't allow to go to home screen... I disinstanlled dab-z after a long work... 🤦🏻
[MTCD Software Development] VoodooCeeJay:
Thats great. Dont suppose you have any pictures?
[MTCD Software Development] danbadko:
I would definitely support you with the subscribe version because the work that you are doing is great! Thank you so much for it and congratulations!
[MTCD Software Development] alb3rtt:
I'd happily pay either a one time fee or some sort of yearly subscription, although as a user, the one time fee is preferred.

Also regarding the layout, there's also the option of resizable windows so users can choose the layout themselves
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Terribly sorry about the crash, we are investing on it. is this only happen with DAB-Z? can anyone use another media source and report a bug for us using the steps, thanks

https://vividota.oss-cn-shanghai.aliyuncs.com/tmp/Video/How to report a bug.mp4
[MTCD Software Development] PsYhLo:
with the latest version crashes up to 3 times before start

My car media is

Dasaita 7" Android 8.0 PX5 OCTA-Core 4G ram
[MTCD Software Development] lookinround:
My Dasaita 7" 2DIN PX6 Android 10 had DAB-Z loaded but I couldn't get Vivid to behave stably - it continually crashed - to uninstall DAB-Z. So, it wouldn't have been possible to get into Car Settings to enable the bug reporting function anyway.

I ended up working out that instead of simply pressing OK to the crash report for Vivid, I selected the 3 dots (if memory serves) on the crash dialogue and then selected remove app and revert to factory default.

Once that succeeded and the unit rebooted, I was then able to load up v5.7.3434 via a USB drive with the .apk provided at post #2 of this thread.

Now at least I've got a functional head unit. Hopefully you can post a fix reasonably soon.

Thanks for all the good work.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
We've been trying continuously, with DAB-Z app and choose as media source from classic dashboard, still no lucky to reproduce. But from you guys comments seem happen widely. Anyone can tell me does it happen only for DAB-Z or other media as well? appreciate
[MTCD Software Development] rathmannm:
I don't use DAB-Z (even though it is installed by default on my unit). I mainly use Spotify but Vivid doesn't even start so that I can choose a media source - it crashes immediately.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Guess We've found the root cause, not sure if same with you guys, will release ASAP, thanks
[MTCD Software Development] rathmannm:
@vivid_1 Probably not that useful if you think you found the issue but these are the kind of errors I see in Logcat:
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
[Oct.19 2022] We are releasing new version 5.10.3447 today !

Major changes are:

We manager to reproduce the issue (install new version and restart, then it crash PX6 but not all other devices). Hope this is the same issue with all you guys.
[MTCD Software Development] nicebaby:
Now it works with last update thanks
[MTCD Software Development] lookinround:
+1

DAB-Z works fine for me too.

Thanks for the quick fix.
[MTCD Software Development] PsYhLo:
works fine for me too. Thanks
[MTCD Software Development] rathmannm:
Many thanks for the fix! The app is absolutely fantastic. Now to the next critical item - can we please make the icons at the bottom home screen customizable :)
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
You can pin/unpin apps icon with long press. For the issue people feel there is not enough place for customized app, will make 'home' maybe 'nav' unpin as well.
[MTCD Software Development] quangvu313:
Hi bro, it's the best laucher android for car

But, I have problem, I can't load data weather ( wifi & cellular is good )

And micro assistant gg maps not work

Many thanks 👍👍
[MTCD Software Development] BeeFGee:
Hi, I installed the 5.10.3447 version.

I can launch the VIVID app initially and give required permissions, no problem.

Subsequently however, the app slows to a crawl. When I press on the music player to select the music player to control, the selection dialog box hangs.

When I check the launcher settings (using the android system), I notice that the default launcher would have changed to "launcher 3" (which was not my previous launcher. Prev launcher is carwebguru).

Is there a clash with the installed default fyt7862 launchers?
[MTCD Software Development] rathmannm:
Sorry @vivid_1 I wasn't clear what I meant - I mean changing the actual icons as such of the pinned apps. So use a different icon pack...
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
weather has issue every now and then and will be fixed in the next release. micro assistant you mean google voice assistant? if not work with google map, you can update both google apps to try again.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Not sure bro~ Launcher3 is android stock launcher with your headunit. how many is the RAM, maybe because of resource limitation.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
o , icon pack, not supported now. will report to team about this.
[MTCD Software Development] BeeFGee:
My unit has 6GB RAM. Based on the specs, I dont think it should be so slow.

How can I submit a bug report or logs?
[MTCD Software Development] quangvu313:
Hi bro, maybe these 2 features don't work in my car
[MTCD Software Development] quangvu313:
Hi bro !! it seems that album cover image for zingmp3 player is not working

other music apps show good album covers

( zingmp3 is the largest music player in Vietnam, has a huge reserve, hope to be supported by you, many thanks 😍😍 )
[MTCD Software Development] quangvu313:
Yapp, some time, I have the same problem but not often

My head unit have 3gb Ram, Chip intel 7862, Android 10
[MTCD Software Development] pheff:
Hi guys!

When updating my iPhone to IOS16, I have problems with CarPlay. Applications like Spotify, Google Maps… do not work for me. What I can do? Does it have something to do with Vivid?

Thanks

Edit: I think it was a specific error of the radio, now it works for me. I'll let you know if it fails again.
[MTCD Software Development] lr_man:
Try uninstall VIVID and see what happens...
[MTCD Software Development] BeeFGee:
@vivid_1 : can I change the units MPH to KMH and distance from Miles to KM in the UI?

The card theme is working for me. But not the normal dashboard.
[MTCD Software Development] moiloon:
can anyone tell me if there is Audi in the car section in Vivid Launcher, just d/loaded and installed, but in car section theres no Audi or am I an idiot???

also Vivid and other launchers ive tried seem not to be be able to have the units radio app in the app selection options, any ideads how to overcome this? unit is a xtrons pst90szk
[MTCD Software Development] lr_man:
Seems there is no Audi - or Land-Rover, nudge nugde ;)
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Will check and add zingmp3 permanent support in media source list.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
try vivid setting -> display -> unit, there is setting items for that.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Car selection is not useful right now and not covering all car brand and model. Will re design this feature in the future. Stay tune.
[MTCD Software Development] LajoskaMI6:
Hi!

Please, the next update or version add the Hungarian language. I have finished the translation and verification, it is now 100%.

Thanks!
[MTCD Software Development] lr_man:
And I have made the Danish translation for the next update 🇩🇰
[MTCD Software Development] lsvazquez:
Hey @vivid_1 I opened an issue a month ago in GitHub but it's still there, and it has gone worse with the last release actually: now I have to push the next/previous button in the steering wheel up to 6 times to change the radio station, which makes it really anoying. Any idea when this will be fixed? Thank you.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Sorry about that, will check.
[MTCD Software Development] KaylaKev:
@vivid_1 Im still having the problem where all the google play apps is crashing. stock apps works just fine such as google map and youtube. how do i fix this?
[MTCD Software Development] ric69:
You uninstalled update from Android webview app ? (From playstore or settings/apps)
[MTCD Software Development] ric69:
Hi

I have only a suggestion for your beautiful launcher if i can sir, can you had a widget to switch night dark and white day theme for all the system? This >>application << is working perfectly on mtcd series. That would be great to have this feature integrated to launcher.

Thanks for your awesome work sir
[MTCD Software Development] KaylaKev:
Thank you ric. it settle all the problem now. what makes android webview is the rootcause for this? before its work just fine.
[MTCD Software Development] gilal:
Hello.

Now I'm watching a music video clip and I have to watch it in full screen. It would be nice if you could select it from the main panel and watch in the window where there is, for example, spotyfy, radio.. Maybe something can be done? :)
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Thanks for feedback, you mean like system setting to change the system day/night, not only vivid day/night right? will report to team. Stay tune.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
you mean what video on vivid dashboard? that only will work if the video app is made by us, so...
[MTCD Software Development] gilal:
Yes, a movie or video clip in mkv format and on the main VIVID screen. It would be nice to watch a gps map and video on one screen. Thank you for your reply.

You're really doing great work 👍
[MTCD Software Development] maddog1979:
Just installed and tried to add my tomtom go to the launcher but it doesnt see the app?
[MTCD Software Development] Rachid.Ala:
Vivid radio isn't working on my headunit probably due to hardware limitations but navradio works flawlessly.

Can you make navradio works at least for people that vivid radio doesn't work for them ?

thanks
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
d

Will try to find a solution on this.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
we don't want to limit it, but selected from dashboard media list, the vivid radio and navradio+ will conflict with each other which leads to very annoying bugs, will find solution to properly solve it and support navradio+.
[MTCD Software Development] gilal:
@vivid_1 Is there a chance that in the near future you could watch a video file in this window on the main panel? Thank you for your reply and best regards
[MTCD Software Development] fight2k:
Will work properly with PX30?
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Hi sorry forget to response your last feedback. We used to prototype this, but this will only work with local(USB) video and affected performance. I'd say this won't happen in very near future, but will report to team and always in consideration for a proper solution. Thanks.
[MTCD Software Development] gilal:
Thank you for your reply.

It's a pity, because now I have video files uploaded to the radio's SD card. And to see it you have to see it in full screen. I tried to split the image, but as I undo it and the 360 reversing cameras are also small (only in the right window) and the bad you can see it. Reversing cameras should have priority and in full screen. Sadly :(

You're doing a great job

👍
[MTCD Software Development] quangvu313:
you can use the mxplayer application that minimizes the PIP screen, so it can be displayed on top of other applications
[MTCD Software Development] gilal:
Thanks, I'll check it for sure 👍
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
I'm also working on making NavRadio to act as a media player so it will work properly with vivid.

I finally made some progress in my code, after a long pause, but it need a lot of work.

I'm already in contact with @vivid_1 and once i come to a good point to my changes I'll contact him so the team can unlock NavRadio from the blacklisted players.

Right now it's better to keep it as it is to avoid worst behaviours.
[MTCD Software Development] gilal:
VERY GOOD NEWS! I use NavRadio and I have purchased the full version. Very good program, but I also use AND VIVID. I run NavRadio separately, but it would be nice if it worked together. You can see that the VIVID project is very promising. I keep my fingers crossed for further development. Best regards
[MTCD Software Development] quangvu313:
It seems that when opening music from a USB source, MicroSD, Internal memory, the music player does not have the function of shuffle, random, repeat one, repeat all ... (as attached picture)

In some cases, playlists are sorted by artist name by default or by the same song title. Playing music in order will cause boredom

Hope the author considers adding. thanks a lot !
[MTCD Software Development] Jayijato:
une radio dab+ incluse dans le launcher serait top et une amélioration du widget météo serait souhaitable.
[MTCD Software Development] roundaboutluke:
Hi there, very good launcher but missing some key stuff - listed below in priority order.

1. Card view, the cards should be removable/addable and resizable. Things like shortcuts to settings are pointless for me (same thing in bottom right by time) and a giant card for feedback isn't very sightly, this should really be contained in settings anyway - but to each their own, letting people add/remove gives the choice.

2. Navigation can't be unpinned from the app row, but default system navigation app is not the one of choice. Please make this unpinnable so users can set their own!

3. Wallpapers don't follow system - my head unit's gallery app and file manager app are completely incompatible so I can't set wallpaper myself. Either needs to have a built in gallery app to pick from own files or have a toggle to follow system wallpaper where desired.

4. Hiding Apps in App Drawer - to hide unused stock apps and minimise clutter

5. Icon Masks to change default shape of icons (circles, squared, squared-circle etc. as per Nova)

6. Icon Packs to compliment the above
[MTCD Software Development] gilal:
@vivid_1

Welcome. Over the weekend I installed the SCOUT software from the Dasaita forum. I was surprised how I installed dotkowo from Google NavRadio and here it works great. Why doesn't it work in VIVID? I downloaded the maps from the DASAITA forum, extracted and transferred them to Flash memory. Scout can't see these maps or they aren't for my region because I'm Polish.

What do I need to do to have a didotic map on the screen? This is such a test because VIVID is for me a better software :)

Thank you for your reply
[MTCD Software Development] CitizenInsane69:
Hello,

I'm far from sure this is controlled by vivid launcher, anyway currently it is possible to switch off the screen while the unit is still on ... unfortunately, when changing volume from physical button of my car, the screen switches on again automatically ... if you have any solution to keep it off on just volume changes would be great (again i'm far from sure this is vivid related but more digged into android system).

Non vivid related question, any of you has ever tested AppLock application ? What is your opinion about it ? Indeed I'm not a big fan of Vivid Wallet that locks the full unit ... When giving my car to a third party (friend/garagist) I'm not willing to lock everything (gps/music/obd) but just a few applications only (emails/teams/bank ... no I don't have my bank app in car, nor any sensitive ones ^^)

Final non vivid related question, any advice buddies for a decent DVR camera with ADAS features ? I'm looking for a dual one (i.e. recording rear & front) ?

As you see I've nothing to say about vivid directly, I love this launcher and I'm very satisfied with it ... just looking to hear forward for how to reward the great job done so far.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Thanks for feedback!

1. this is in planning, users reported to us. will add/remove etc.

2. unpin nav/home will be in the coming release in several days.

3. that's by design, we have users use vivid on their phone/tablet, people don't want vivid wallpaper mass with their system wallpaper.

4. this is in planning, will add in the future.

5. will report to team. but may lower priority

6. will report to team.but may lower priority
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
dotkowo？ is a online radio app? if that's the case, normally vivid can config to support.

Scout only works on US, so if you are in US and like scout, welcome~
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
1. vivid has a lockscreen instead of turning off screen, you can try lockscreen in the control panel

2. changing volume from physical button will awake vivid is a by design behavior.. may not change for now.

Thanks for feedback.
[MTCD Software Development] CitizenInsane69:
So I need to create an application that does nothing but displaying a black screen (with full screen option) :)

K seriously, I'll try vivid's lockscreen, thanks
[MTCD Software Development] gilal:
No, I'm not from the US. I'm from Polish and all the time I used VIVID only that ROM from the DASAITA forum. I wanted to see what this SCOUT was and installed it. It works correctly and as I wrote the NavRadio application also works. What in VIVID is a problem. I click on the NavRadio shortcut and it works together with the icons of radio stations (as you can see in the picture above). SCOUT is ok, but there are no maps and you can't see the navigation on the main view. The maps are for the U.S. region. It is a pity that it cannot be done for Europe. As I wrote it is just a test
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Got u~ thanks to let us know. We are working with navradio developer to make this happen and will let you know when done. I remember simple coexist is ok, but in use for a while, bugs happen.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
BTW, for guys are in the vivid CANARY channel, there is a new release. For google play and Stable channel, will be 2~3 days later.

Domain bar home app, navigation app support unpin

Fix and Improve weather not show issue

Add default launcher setting item

Add exit setting item, screen always on/off setting item.

Fix the cover of Zing Mp3 to not display, and add Zing Mp3, PlexaMP

Optimization of multilingual support

Fix crashes and bugs
[MTCD Software Development] lr_man:
I see the new update is here :). I made the danish translation, but cannot choose it the language-settings? (Some of the text is translated to danish, without the possibility to choose danish?)

A function of audio-volume following the speed would be awesome :cool:

Thanks.
[MTCD Software Development] roundaboutluke:
Thanks for the swift response good to hear these things are on the list!

Re 3) this makes sense, but any know 3rd party gallery’s known to work with Vivid? As mentioned my stock one doesn’t load at all when clicking within Vivid :( so setting wallpaper from Gallery directly is only option and doesn’t change it if that makes sense?
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Thanks for let us know. Will check. And auto-volume speed will be in plan.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
I am not quite sure the description. Now the only way to change vivid wallpaper is to set through vivid setting -> theme-> load wallpaper you like
[MTCD Software Development] antanisv:
Hii .... thanks for the update. However when you press update button in the launcher, it takes you to Google Play only.........i am on canary channel .......any link for the new update?
[MTCD Software Development] FuTChY:
Hello,

I just installed VIVID launcher. I like everything about it, you really did a very good job with that.

But I only had one issue as below:

I'm usually playing Spotify, and whenever my phone gets a notification, the desktop media player switches to bluetooth and then spotify stops, so I have to re-select Spotify, and then click play button again.

Is there any settings that I didn't know that can disable that auto switch?
[MTCD Software Development] OneX'er:
This has to be one of the BEST looking auto launchers I've seen. But for functionality it doesn't beat the old Android Auto For Phones. The way you can select playlists etc within android auto is what makes it. You don't have to leave the android auto interface for anything and I really wish 3rd party auto launchers could do the same.

I had a thought though, would it be possible to have a widget that's actually an app running in a window on the home page? So when you use gmaps navigation it actually opens the app in a window/widget on the launchers homescreen. It would also work for media apps too. It would be amazing. The reason I can't stick with any launchers like this is because I absolutely can't stand when I have to leave the app to choose a playlist etc. I'll be going back to google assistants drive mode for this very reason, but I'll be keeping a close eye on the development of this app!
[MTCD Software Development] iamrance.asa:
Thank you so much for adding this! I love being able to use now on my unit (it's portrait style).

Are you planning on adding different interfaces for portrait as well as you have with landscape?
[MTCD Software Development] tucano101:
@vivid_1

Is it possible to add the function to launch the media player autoplay only when there is an internet connection? like this photo? in this launcher it works fine, but I like VIVID better.
[MTCD Software Development] redranger94:
Having the same issue as well
