I sent 2 messages already to Vivid (the first was about 2 weeks ago) asking to definitively unlock NavRadio in their launcher but i had no replies yet...

If somebody know other ways to contact them, please let me know it.
[MTCD Software Development] ebod:
Hi, I'm trialling this launcher in a vertical mounted YT5760B device in a GM Astra J car. The bottom tool bar chops into the play/pause options. Also am I missing something here...but can't see an option to navigate and find mp3 files in the device memory so still have to use the device's default player. Is that how its meant to be??
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
is it possible to integrate Sygic as an option instead of Google Maps for the main screen of the launcher? It seems Sygic has a dedicated API:

Embedded integration using Android Studio | Professional Navigation for Fleets | Sygic Developers

Sygic creates the world‘s most installed GPS navigation software and location based applications for iPhone, Android and Windows Phone. Our software powers professional solutions for governments and private companies.

www.sygic.com
[MTCD Software Development] Clandaries:
And TomTom
[MTCD Software Development] gilal:
In my opinion, it would be nice if the user could choose what navigacji to use in this left window. I have bought SYGIC and it would be nice to indicate that SYGIC was run.
[MTCD Software Development] marjanoos:
Haven't tried that yet, but I've noticed one bug on 2.79a:

1. Start your HU with NavRadio+ and play radio for some time

2. Change the player (I've used Apple Music)

3. Drive to a place where AF would change the frequency

4. Radio starts playing by itself after finding the frequency - two sources of audio at the same time.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
You probably have TA enabled.

AF doesn't switch source.

Anyway i made some more progresses and fixed other stuff.

I'll post a new version tomorrow.
[MTCD Software Development] marjanoos:
The source isn't switched, radio just starts playing and Apple Music in my case still plays.
[MTCD Software Development] Nagodnagod:
I'm wondering the same issue. Is it possible to turn off the air conditioning section of the vehicle's normal launcher? . Air conditioning is not automatic in my car.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:

How can I open my range rover menu from the vivid launcher?

My stock launcher has a link on the main screen
[MTCD Software Development] :
I’m trying to use Vivid on my new Android head unit (an Anequ for an Alfa MiTo).

As far as I‘ve seen from a quick installation and run the system is not compatible (Bluetooth not recognised, radio not working, …).

These are the photos of the head unit info, any hint on how to use Vivid on it?
[MTCD Software Development] RichardCA:
Thanks, that works perfectly. However when I try to use Wheelkey Study, I can't change the binding of the radio action to call NavRadio instead of the default radio app.

Is there a way to do that?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
First of all it would be always better to disable the default radio app?

Then i need to know what kind of HU you have..
[MTCD Software Development] RichardCA:
Thanks for the fast reply. It's a Dasaita HA5476 with the Vivid11 ROM.

The default apps appear to be hard-coded into the ROM and the disable option is greyed in the app config screen. They allow you to change the map key binding but all the other ones are locked down.

So I'm just wondering how people create the "hooks" when the default binding is not what they want.

Again, thanks.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
The default app can be disabled in factory settings (password is 116).Just switch radio option to off.

I don't know if that will be enough or you need a custom ROM like Hal9k for buttons bindings.
[MTCD Software Development] RichardCA:
Overall the stock Vivid11 ROM does really well. I just need to change the hooks for radio and audio mode switch. But it doesn't look like anyone has an audio switcher app that actually works without losing track of which app has the audio. Which is why I just want to bind Navradio to a button so I can at least control it that way. Thanks again. :)
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Sorry but I don't understand....

Do you mean that when you switch app it loose the audio focus?

When you start a player or whatever app that has audio it automatically gain the focus and it can loose or duck it depending on which other source you will switch too.

Vivid service control this audio management.
[MTCD Software Development] gilal:
It is a pity that VIVID does not play the video in the right window. Now I do it with another program and it looks cool and does not hurt the eyes full screen. Maybe TEAM VIVID will come up with something so that you can play directly. Best regards.
[MTCD Software Development] RichardCA:
I'm saying I like NavRadio and want it to be the default radio app but Vivid wants to use it's own radio app inside the launcher. Even if I install a different launcher like Nova I can't disable Vivid unless I force close it every time I reboot my HU.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
You need to use this special version of Vivid to run NavRadio:

Dropbox

www.dropbox.com

Are you using it?
[MTCD Software Development] pheff:
Can someone tell me if the latest ROM version has any errors? Especially on the home map, names and logos of radio stations...

thanks
[MTCD Software Development] gilal:
I have the latest one. I don't see any specific changes. It's like the previous version, I think. Every now and then VIVID restarts, but quickly returns to the previous settings. NavRadio works as before. It is a pity that there are no concrete changes. I hope that VIVID will continue to be supported because it is a nice project
[MTCD Software Development] pheff:
I am in an old version because an update did not save the names of the stations and the logo of the station. But I suppose that later there have been several more versions...

thanks
[MTCD Software Development] RichardCA:
Vivid pushed out an update which brings its own launcher to version 5.10.3468. I can't apply 3466 without rolling back, and I can't roll back without a factory reset of the HU. I will probably do this over the weekend. :)
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
So i guess the launcher is a system app and not a normal user app?

Can't you just delete it's data and cache?
[MTCD Software Development] RichardCA:
I tried that, this is what I got back.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Ok but after you deleted the vivid data and cache, which version does it show that is running?

If you still have a newer version it cannot be installed.

Also if the signature is different it cannot be installed. Maybe the test build they gave me have a different signature and you are forced to uninstall any version you have...

It would be better it they make a new release with NavRadio unlocked and that's it! ;)
[MTCD Software Development] RichardCA:
A factory reset unit has 5.7.3432. That might be worth trying.
[MTCD Software Development] ardonhs:
Awesome!

Thanks!

Is there any way to show google maps with the current navigation route marked as the place on the current map? A split screen is not good enough for me.
[MTCD Software Development] RichardCA:
I was able to get 5.10.3466 installed and everything looks good, except that I run ZLINK with Android Auto and when a call comes in the Vivid launcher wants to intercept the incoming call, creating a conflict with ZLINK.

Has anyone found a workaround for this?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
I made some more progresses with

I don't think it matters with your problem but i also made some progresses:

www.dropbox.com
[MTCD Software Development] RichardCA:
I can verify that the 2.80 version of NavRadio and the 5.10.3466 version of Vivid work fine together, I was able to get past my phone issues by changing some of the permissions for Vivid (I prefer to use Nova as the primary launcher and Vivid as secondary).

Thanks for all your help!
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Can you confirm that you don't have any problem with audio switching from NavRadio to other apps, Bluetooth, navi se etc.. and viceversa?

Either with or without Vivid?

Thx ;)
[MTCD Software Development] marjanoos:
I still had that AF issue with 2.79d - drove 300km and NavRadio was turning on everytime new frequency was found (couple times) and playing along the Apple Music in my case. Will try to use 2.80 soon. Also I want to install Vivid rom instead of Hal9k rom because I think that those Mod services are still interfering with NavRadio somehow. But I assume that NavRadio won't work properly with Vivid rom?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Isn't Vivid just an hct rom with vivid launcher?

I believe it work ok if you use the vivid launcher version i posted.
[MTCD Software Development] RichardCA:
I have widgets for Navradio and VLC on my home screen in Nova, they switch back and forth with no overlap on the audio. The other thing I noticed is that sometimes (like after a reboot) the radio will not start, I have to make sure the "Play/Pause" intent is bound to a touch control so I have it available. Once I got all that configured I was able to get everything to work in a seamless way.

I haven't thorougly tested the ZLINK/Android Auto as a source of music, but Google is having a bad time with Android Auto and Coolwalk so I try to avoid using that as a media source, but phone calls work fine so I am happy. 🙂

@vivid_1 is this the right place to contact for missing support and integration by Vivid? Is there something that I can do to give you more details on my head unit to manage to get Vivid as my default launcher fully functional?
[MTCD Software Development] rathmannm:
Hi,

I've got a Sinosmart TS10 UIS7862 headunit and whilst it generally works well aside from the occasional crash I cannot get it to work with the integrated SIM card I am using. The Vivid dialer does not recognize it (it only recognizes my mobile connected via bluetooth). When I try and activate the "Cellular" service I get a "No system permission" message. However the Vivid app has all available permissions so I am not sure why this isn't working - any ideas?

Thanks!

When I try to add a contact as a favourite in the phone app I get the message that adding of the favourite failed. Anybody knows how to fix this ?
[MTCD Software Development] mcgyver83:
Hi all!

I'm running vivid 11 with dasaita PX6 using the 2 panels view.

Is it possible to replace stock radio app with NavRadio?

I mean see NavRadio in the right panel instead of rainbow stock picture?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
You need to install the version of vivid launcher i posted some pages back.

The problem is that this version is not the latest one so you should uninstall all the updates or do a factory reset to be able to install it.
[MTCD Software Development] mcgyver83:
Uninstall "Vivid" app update from Play Store (as you can do for any app?)
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Go to Vivid app informations and delete data and cache. You will obtain the original version that came with firmware.
[MTCD Software Development] mcgyver83:
This will reset also launcher settings?

Then after this cleanup I could install NavRadio you posted before?

To replace the stock radio app is enough to install NavRadio ?

Could I update Vivid after?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Indeed you loose your vivid settings.

NavRadio work only with the version of vivid i posted.

If you update vivid, NavRadio will not work properly because it's blocked by vivid code.
[MTCD Software Development] mcgyver83:
Sorry to bother so much, but you mean that NavRadio doesn't work wth most updated Vivid Launcher or il not possiblle to "replace" stock radio with NavRadio with updated Vivid Launcher?

(With "replace" I mean not physically replace the app but use NavRadio in the right panel in 2 panels home screen and following commands, like when a different default browser or video app is configured in android)
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
The ViVid team have blocked NavRadio app in their code by default because NavRadio wasn't acting as a media player.

So all the official builds that you find on PlayStore or on internet cannot show NavRadio properly on right panel of Vivid.

I asked them to make me a special build with NavRadio unlocked the last November so you need this special build to have NavRadio and vivid working together.

I already asked them to make a new build of latest vivid with NR unlocked but they couldn't tell me when it will be ready.
[MTCD Software Development] mcgyver83:
Ok so to use NavRadio in the right panel Vivid build allowing it is needed.

Now NR is still not acting as media player: this prevents the capability to launch NR when tapping "radio" app? I mean choosing radio as audio source is it possible to run NR or the issue above will hit me?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Install the NavRadio from PlayStore or the Vivid_version i posted on this thread and you figure it out yourself...

Hello, sorry for my English, I speak Italian and translate with a translator, I have installed on my radio Atoto S8 Premium VIVID Car Launcher, it works great and is very smooth, but I wanted to know how to change the navigator that is currently displayed in the window to left I have two navigators installed on my device, TomTom and IGO, I would like one of the two navigators I have installed to appear instead of Google, is it possible?

Until you buy you are number one customer but when you bought its over.

Hello. From what you can see that nothing is happening, I think that the topic of VIVID probably fell. It's a pity because a really cool project :(
[MTCD Software Development] Clandaries:
Is Dasaita still selling Vivid head units? Maybe they bought the rights from Vivid...
[MTCD Software Development] marjanoos:
This sentence is the key, I think. :) They developed quite good product and looking for monetization rather than updating it for free.

But to be honest if the launcher was paid, I would pay for it (if updates would be granted). Agama is way worse for me, at least in visual way.
[MTCD Software Development] peregrina:
Deffinitely, I would pay, and I think a lot of guys would be willing to do so.

I came here to report a bug with android auto, it seems its audio player is conflicting with AA (fighting on whoever can play music over the other), but just saw the messages about vivid stopping dev... shame.
[MTCD Software Development] bungers:
Is anyone able to repackage the apk WITHOUT the splash screen? I want my unit to boot directly into Vivid, like all other launchers.

Also, if this has died a death, is there a similar launcher (I like the T'eyes one)?
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
What features you miss in vivid launcher?
[MTCD Software Development] bungers:
Nothing, I just want the splash screen gone
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
If an app show the splash screen is because takes some time to start up and instead of showing a black screen is preferable to show something else .
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
During boot launcher starts many services...perhaps that is the reason for a splash screen.

Additionally you can use your own splash Image

Why i can't install vivid car launcher in Poland. It's any location restriction?
[MTCD Software Development] urgo2x:
I'm from Poland and I could so you also should be able.
[MTCD Software Development] gilal:
Hello. I'm also from Polish. Only that I use VIVID ROM which is on the DASAITA forum. This last version of something often restarts Max10 and I think I'll go back to an earlier version. It is a pity that something has died down in the development of VIVID and you can no longer see if something is going in the right direction:(
[MTCD Software Development] mikemat.pl:
You're talking about vivid launcher or firmware/rom?

i'm asking about launcher.
[MTCD Software Development] gilal:
As for me, I have software rom
[MTCD Software Development] urgo2x:
What's not working for you in the latest ROM? As for me everything is fine as long as I don't use Android auto wirelessly. When I use it at least ones then the Bluetooth issue occurs. Sometimes my phone can connect and sometimes not and it is really random.
[MTCD Software Development] gilal:
Something I often restarts this soft. I do not know if it is only with me because the earlier version was less. With NavRadio still the same.

Hi.

Issues foond On the latest vivid rom (dasaita cx5 headunit px6):

How can add a radio to "my stations"? If I press the favorite button (heart button) they are not added to "my stations"

Pressing call button does not take me to the call screen, while stock and scout roms did.

My Mazda cx5 2013 model.is not listed into the list of cars (only available.2017 model)

Bluetooth audio is very low. I increased it from the factory settings (to 20) and still low. It affects to calls and to carplay/android auto.

Any suggestion?

Is there a possibility of including an advanced volume screen to set up master/bt/...volumes? I know they are on the factory settings (as it is governed by mcu...but they are very inaccessible)
