I have a few problems that I would like to point out.

1. Radio application is available separately, but I cannot use it in vivid. Likewise, I cannot use search or contacts in vivid.

2. For example, while listening to music on Spotify, when a notification comes to the phone, the media player switches to bluetooth and the music is cut off. then I have to manually select spotify again so that the song continues. It's a very annoying problem.

My software information is as follows. If possible, I will install a clean new rom and android, I will install android 11-12 version, but I think it cannot be done. That's why I installed Vivid Launcher. I plan to continue from here.
[MTCD Software Development] marchnz:
Unit is NOT MTCD type.
[MTCD Software Development] ArgaKhan:
So you're saying there's nothing to be done?
[MTCD Software Development] IBarakat91:
Hello everyone,

For sure that Vivid launcher is one of the best launchers out-there, maybe not the fastest but surely one of the most appealing visually.

Unfortunately thou my head unit does not support vivid, so no integrated radio, BT music nor caller. And I've contacted @vivid_1 to assist with that, yet I've been told that the manufacturer of my head unit should contact the developers of Vivid directly. Which is kind of weird as my head unit is one of the cheap Chinese models. So, anyway, here are few tips and tricks to how to utilize this amazing launcher to the fullest even if your head unit doesn't support it.

1- I've found out that the latest version of Vivid somehow doesn't show all my local music folder, yet an older version is working fine. So, if you have the same issue, you can download THIS VERSION and it should be working fine.

2- For some reason, auto day/night theme may cause some visual glitches, my advice is to use Night theme always as it looks better and for some reason it is faster as well.

3- It is absolutely a must to install HEADUNIT RELOADED app as it is the best app out there to connect your android auto wirelessly to the head unit. HERE is a full free version with a modified icon to match the theme of Vivid.

4- Some users will find that radio is not integrated with the launcher. So, here is another app that I found that works perfectly and matches that whole Vivid launcher theme (NavRadio+) Click HERE to download the full free version with modified icon as well.

I have another version with splash screen removed, if you need it click HERE.

* Logos are supported to be downloaded directly from app (except Africa stations yet you can download them from internet and add manually)

* Use Pink theme along with the original dark mode Vivid wallpaper.

* Set Hide Status Bar to always and disable auto toggle to full screen.

* Disable frequency bar and set station buttons to horizontal grid view.

5- There is an app that provides speedometer widget which I find working very well with the launcher, it's called (Drivers Widget) it only costs around 50 Cents and I couldn't find pro free version online. Basically, you can add it in android widgets in launcher, it is quite accurate and looks cool. Keep in mind that below image captured from android emulator not the actual head unit and the widgets actually looks better in the head unit with bigger fonts and options to change theme of widget -only in full version-

Lastly, I was not able to find BT player nor BT phone caller that match with vivid but I was not worried as my head unit phone caller is actually quite nice, and I usually play BT music when I use android auto. I hope my tips were helpful and enhanced your experience with the whole launcher :)
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
What is this??

Don't you think you should ask me the permission before sharing modified versions of my NavRadio app?
[MTCD Software Development] IBarakat91:
i mean no disrespect but you know most of android apps (apk) are available for everyone and there are ton of applications one can use to modify and edit the android apps. I certainly didnt mean to upset you, we are only here to share info about tech mostly. But if you find my upload offensive in some way, then i will remove the download link no problem.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
It's not alllowed here on xda to share links to modified paid apps!

You should ask me before modifying and posting it.

NavRadio it's not your property.

It's product of my hard work and you are just stealing it.

Please remove it!!
[MTCD Software Development] IBarakat91:
I've been talking in a very respectable manner and i dont appreciate the way you are talking to me. like i said before, i meant no disrespect and i already removed the download link, you just didn't bother to click on the URL to check.
[MTCD Software Development] Badger50:
Just a friendly FYI regarding XDA's policy for posting "Modified"apps as dictated by XDA Rule #6:

Thank you for your understanding, and for working out this matter without moderator intervention.

-Regards: Badger50
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Well, in reality, before writing you, i downloaded it to check if you uploaded the free version or the paid one. I decompiled the java code and i figured out that you have used one of the cracked versions that can be found in internet. We know what this mean right?

If you think that everything that you find on internet is yours just because you find it....you are posting in the wrong forum..

My app is also based on the work of another guy and i asked him the permission before modifying it and publishing on PlayStore. I also wrote this in the first post of my NavRadio thread, thanking him.

I won't reply more about this and i appreciate you removed the links, thanks for that. ;)
[MTCD Software Development] payloo:
Is there a new Update for Vivid...?
[MTCD Software Development] ekfrrhcn:
new Update?
[MTCD Software Development] payloo:
Yes why ....? Can you use BT phone..?
[MTCD Software Development] KomitaMKD:
Why i dont have music cover art although i have it in the mobile? Does that apply only for music in the head unit
[MTCD Software Development] ric69:
Spotify lite is not supported ?
[MTCD Software Development] MRichardM:
Hi, for sure that Vivid launcher is one of the best launchers.

I have some questions.

Why there are two notifications for VIVID ?

Could you make support for RDS for the radio - RDS does not read the station name, just the frequency.

THX.
[MTCD Software Development] Monkeybizness707:
How do I use this with my phone's data, or access Android auto through it...I like the setup and the app is awesome but I can currently only use Spotify and maps when I'm next to my house. Would love something that synced seamlessly with my phone like Android auto. I'd happily pay for a pro version of this was a thing.

Using it on an eonon Android head unit. Would also like to integrate my obd2 scanner Bluetooth into it (OBDlink MX+), possibly using the Forscan app or the stock obdlink app. Is there a user guide I can download?

Other wants are to integrate radio and other apps like torque or at least a speedo and weather.
[MTCD Software Development] urgo2x:
Hi, everything like radio, weather and speedo work just fine. I guess your head unit is not supported.
[MTCD Software Development] AvGear:
@vivid_1 Maybe in the future it can be added that the left or right side can be changed to a dvr, 360view, video player there are options there
[MTCD Software Development] urgo2x:
Hi, my previous post that everything is working well is not valid. ☹️

Recently, the sound in the Spotify stopped working. I deleted the data for the Spotify and it didn't help. I decided to do a factory reset. It helped for the Spotify but now the Bluetooth doesn't connect automatically to my cell. Now, I need everytime remove Vivid device from my cell's Bluetooth connection, restart Vivid and pair devices again. It's really frustrating.
[MTCD Software Development] Monkeybizness707:
Seems like it's working fine...I think it's just operator error in this case as I have yet to use a launcher on my head unit, nor am i sure that I have instructions on how to set things up properly, specifically with regards to configuring the internet side of it, as wifi is the only option I can currently find in the settings.

I can still access Android auto through vivid launcher and it actually connects better than the stock launcher does.

I just want to be able to run everything off vivid launcher's interface, which is far better looking than Android auto...
[MTCD Software Development] gilal:
A new version of VIVID rom 2023.01.12 has been released on the DASAITA forum. Anything, you know what changes?
[MTCD Software Development] Spark972:
Hi,

I'm using Vivid launcher with a FYT 7862 Mekede M500 and for now I'm very satisfied with this combo minus a few little things :

Daytime / nightime brightness switch doesn't happened and I can't find where to fix this (mekede or vivid side).

Bluetooth ringtone and bluetooth voice call volumes are the same, so if I was on maximum volume while talking to someone, on the next call, the ringtone will simply blast my ears.

This would need 2 separates volumes : ringtones and voice/communication, for now i guess it's just bluetooth (all).

When receiving a phone call, the media you were using isn,'t paused, it is simply muted. So after the call, you're very far into your playlist/podcast.

This would need some kind of macro : pickup phone = pause media / hanging phone = play media. This way you didn't loose anything.

From time to time the maps on the welcome screen (left windows) will flash in white. I always use the dark mode and looks like the maps wanted to switch to light mode but get back to dark. This happens even without any navigation sets

The french translation is not very accurate, I can say that it is not a computer/software one that did it or it was an automated translation.

If you don't mind, I'd like to do a proposal and explain the context to try and fix this.

Thank you for this launcher, hope I haven't been too rude to you guys.
[MTCD Software Development] KomitaMKD:
Can someone please help me?

Also, i read someone has speedometer, if so how do you enable it?
[MTCD Software Development] NatxChanel:
Hi,

I love this laucher in my radio car.

But I had to uninstall it because Bluetooth music did not worked. In my phone the music is playing but no sound come out from the radio. Without this app Bluetooth music works just fine but I want this app. It's much better with a fantastic look and with Steering Wheel controls I can change music from the phone without touching the phone. But music sound has to work, please fix this!!!!
[MTCD Software Development] Monkeybizness707:
The Google maps jiggles between day/night mode despite the fact that I have it locked on night mode in my Google settings. It's way too freaking bright in day mode. Also, I have yet to figure out how to get it to use my phone's data like Android auto. I can use Android auto, but only gets data in the Android auto interface, making the launcher's features and functions useless.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Hi all, I'm releasing today a very first version of NavRadio_FREE that fully support VIVID launcher.

NavRadio_2.79_FREE_VividEdition.apk

To use this special NavRadio build you need also aversion of VIVID that has NavRadio "unlocked" :

VIVID on MEGA

or here:

VIVID on DROPBOX

(It's not latest version, it's from November '22)

I tested only on my MTC px5 unit and right now I'm mostly interested on audio switching between NavRadio and other sources, so please let me know all your findings on your MTC device.

Later will come compatibility with non MTC devices that normally work with NavRadio+

Once everything will be ok on the free version i'll update the FULL/Payed version too.

Enjoy :D
[MTCD Software Development] gilal:
Great information! I have version of NavRadio+ and VIVID ROOM 2023.01.12. And I hope that everything will move nicely.

GOOD JOB
[MTCD Software Development] urgo2x:
H guys,

can you confirm the issue with Bluetooth and Android Auto? I noticed that the Bluetooth connection works fine if you use Vivid but don't use Android Auto. When you start Android auto wirelessly (I haven't checked if the same is when using cable), it works only once. When you turn off the head unit whilst using Android Auto the Bluetooth connection is not removed and when you turn on the head unit the next time Vivid shows that your phone is still connected although it isn't. You need to go to settings and disconnect manually and then click connect again. After that, you need to turn on wifi because Android Auto turns it off. Now, everything is working again until you use Android Auto again.
[MTCD Software Development] tyler_posey:
Yeah , it's not working correctly for ts7 modules !
[MTCD Software Development] cassyandy:
Hi KoTiX2,

I was unable to install the VIVID launcher version you attached because after the installation process, the device returns "APP NOT INSTALLED". (I have already installed a newer version of VIVID Launcher).

But I noticed that this Navradio version it's already better than the full version "stock" because the audio start immediately after the application starts.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Can you control NavRadio from vivid? Does vivid shoe current radio station RDS infos?

To install the older version of vivid you need first to uninstall the one you are using.
[MTCD Software Development] marjanoos:
@KoTiX2 do you know if it's possible to install your NavRadio+ as stock radio app? Or deactivate stock radio app in Vivid launcher?

On main screen NavRadio is displayed as Mod service which isn't a nice thing. And those two radio apps are colliding with each other.

I have installed 5.10.3470 vivid version from Google Play store and 2.79 NavRadio app (have also bought full 2.78 version)
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Original vivid app block has NavRadio blocked as player and it doesn't work properly.

I posted in the vivid thread a special older version of vivid (that they specially made for me) that has NavRadio unlocked.

So if you want to fully use NavRadio as player you need that version and not the one from PlayStore.

I will ask them to make a new build with NR unlocked.

The original radio app can be disabled in factory settings in most units or if you have a FYT device i created a tool for it.
[MTCD Software Development] gilal:
It would be nice if NavRadio+ worked with VIVID like spotify, replaio radio ... And NavRadio+ is a very good application
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
That is exactly what I'm trying to do but i need other people that test the basic version that i posted and tell me their results.
[MTCD Software Development] cassyandy:
I installed the launche MOD apk and the Navradio MOD apk.

The radio starts correctly, VIVID recognize Navradio as player, but you can't correctly controll navradio from VIVID. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

The number of preset is not correct.

The application reported in the small icon of the widget is MODSERVICE; if I manually switch to Navradio it crashes.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Please tell me, what kind of unit do you have?

Can you post a picture of this modservcie icon?

I know that the play/pause button isnt working well but the next/Prev button are ok. Did you found other problems with buttons?

Which preset number? Can you post a picture?
[MTCD Software Development] marjanoos:
I think I have the same issue, please find recorded video:

IMG_1165

Watch "IMG_1165" on Streamable.

streamable.com

Also I don't know if that's the case of free app but seems like RDS info (Lipa at the top) is stuck.

Both launcher and radio apk are from your links. My device is Isudar PX6 with hal9k A10 rom.

@vivid_1 please could you give me access to translated_strings edit? Many polish translation make no sense. I asked for permission from mar***.m****n.m*****i@gmail.com address.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Ok. I see.

The problem is the Hal9k modservice that take over the control of the radio.

I don't have a px6 (i have 3 px5 units) so i can't exactly reproduce it but please check if in modservice exist some option that refer to radio and disabled in it.

Also be sure that NavRadio is not set i nn the list of players that cannot work together.
[MTCD Software Development] marjanoos:
To be honest I'm not sure if I understand that.

I know that there are Mod settings, and as I remember I set NavRadio as physical button action and probably as startup app.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Yeah sorry i mean in ModSettings app
[MTCD Software Development] cassyandy:
I have Dasaita PX6 with Hal9k.

The arrow in the image indicate the modservice icon.

I didn't found other problems with buttons.

About preset number, I mean that "P8" showed in image don't match with the number of the radio station stored in Navradio.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Like i said to @marjanoos the ModSetting app is taking control of the radio instead of NavRadio.

This doesn't happen on my PX5 unit with Hal9K 5.2 rom so please check if in ModSettings app you have set somewhere that ModService can control the radio or it act as radio player.

The preset number is not coming from NavRadio. It's coming from the Hal9K ModService and infact you see the Hal9K icon and not the green NavRadio icon in the Vivid widget.

Once you disable the modservice/settings stuff, everything will work better.
[MTCD Software Development] marjanoos:
I couldn't find any setting related to radio controlled by Mod settings. Apart of those which I knew (setting app as physical button act, immersive mode) I deleted any relation to NavRadio.

Also I've uninstalled both Vivid launcher and NavRadio app, resetted Modsettings, disabled default Radio app in factory settings.

Then I started everything after reinstall and in the beginning everything looked fine (no Mod service icon) but then NavRadio stopped playing the radio and Mod service showed again.

Maybe @KoTiX2 you could export your ModSettings settings and I could import it?

or maybe @Hal9k_ could help somehow?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
I'll try to look in the modsettings code of px6 for differences with px5 and/or I'll probably ask to hal9k.

Let's see if i find something..
[MTCD Software Development] cassyandy:
I did the same and I confirm the same result.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Ok. I forgot that a few months ago i disabled the ModService.apk added by Hal9k, renaming it to ModService.bak.

(You can do the same if you wish)

Indeed it's interfering with normal functionality of anything else try to control the radio.

I will investigate in its code and let you know.

In the while you guys could ask to Hal9k to add an option in ModSettings to disable that service as not everybody need it.
[MTCD Software Development] cassyandy:
Thanks @KoTiX2!

Do you know if Modservice is used only to allow to control the radio or also anything else?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
It does other stuff too that i don't remember but i never felt it was missing.

Maybe i'll find a way to avoid it but right now for me is just a pain the a** ;)
[MTCD Software Development] marjanoos:
Couldn't find this modservice.apk, tried to find using root explorer.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
It's in system-app or system-privapp .
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
I fixed the problem with ModService.

I created a new build:

DOWNLOAD NavRadio FREE v2.79a

Please test it ;)
[MTCD Software Development] ardonhs:
How do you add radio on the right side ?

I have 8227l
[MTCD Software Development] cassyandy:
@ardonhs Look into Vivid setting
[MTCD Software Development] cassyandy:
It seems working ok!.

Only 2 issues:

_ it doesn't show the radio logo on the widget

_ when you switch the audio source using this button

the audio doesn't start. You have to switch into the app by android multitasking, enter in navradio, and then audio restarts.
[MTCD Software Development] ardonhs:
There is no option

Can you post screenshot please?
[MTCD Software Development] Foamaniac:
Why not maybe exchange the split screen navigation with the local google map app (that is already available on the device)? my car android device already has google maps, if I could switch the vivid built-in navigation with it in the split view, that would solve the problem. So maybe allow doing this as an option? for google maps or other navigation apps such as radarbot etc if they already exist locally on the android device, maybe make it selectable like the music sources.

I have 2 other annoyances with the launcher, the split screen music player always defaults to local music player on startup which is okay, however, whenever I select bluetooth then hit pause, the vivid player selection reverts back to local device player, which forces me to take my eyes off the road to re-select bluetooth again from the tiny selection circle. it is really annoying and dangerous so I hope this gets corrected soon. Make it remember the source of the player when pausing/resuming please.

The other annoyance is that all my contact and recent calls names from my phone are displayed in reverse, from last name to first name with no way of correcting them.

Also btw, this is by far the best looking and responding car launcher I have seen and I would be happy to purchase it when it is finished at some point.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
- it doesn't show the station logo because it's the basic version. Only the full version have stations logos

- when switching source to an audioplayer like Aimp, the audio come back ok for me.

Please tell me to which source are you switching to? Bluetooth? Navigation sw? Audioplayer?
[MTCD Software Development] cassyandy:
It happens if I switch from Spotify,

Another little bugs: from a reboot, when I first start navradio the < and > buttons in the widget doesn't work. If I touch pause and then play, the buttons < and > starts to work.
[MTCD Software Development] marjanoos:
@vivid_1 @vivid_vicky thanks for translation edit access but I've found that not all strings are available there. Is there any other file?
[MTCD Software Development] MRT4NG0M4N:
Any further developments in the pipeline?
[MTCD Software Development] ZeekWorld:
I am wondering if there is a way to disable or make dissapear the floating Home Media banner on Vivid.

Please, let me know if there is a trick to this. Thanks.
[MTCD Software Development] urgo2x:
You don't need any tricks. Go to Vivid's settings and disable it.
[MTCD Software Development] tucano101:
@vivid_1

Is it possible to always keep the Widgets bar fixed when not using a navigation? Because I start driving the curtain falls and I no longer have quick access to the widgets I customized
[MTCD Software Development] ardonhs:
Its possible the default media player on the right, to play video?
[MTCD Software Development] mcgyver83:
Hi, as reported in Dasaita forum, I have an issue with status bar.

I don't know if is related to Spotify app but when this app is running, status bar doesn't disappear making hard to tap some app's buttons.

Is this a proper way to report bugs?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
I made a new version with some fixes:

NavRadio_2.79b_FREE_VividEdition

Please test it and let me know your findings ;)

A sample video of the full version running on a FYT device:

Super. I am waiting for the NavRadio FULL version that will work with VIVID. I just hope that VIVID will continue to be supported. Thank you for your support, great :)
[MTCD Software Development] mrkimi84:
Ok,

Thank you so much, good job!
[MTCD Software Development] cassyandy:
It seems OK!!!

Is it possible that the definitive version will work with the latest version of vivid?

Will there be an update of vivid about that?
