Hi ikerg,

For auto start default music app, are you using default music app last time you turn off car? system behavior is open the last opened audio or video app when start the engine.

for steering wheel, all test is ok on our side. Are you add only one favorite in radio? steering radio behavior is only switch between your favorite radios if any, not seeking or next always.
[MTCD Software Development] urgo2x:
@vivid_1, I have a few suggestions. There are some bugs that could be fixed. I attached 2 pictures of the home screen.

1. Navigation widget sometimes appears over the map even if the navigation is not running. It is then only black empty rectangle.

2. Weather widget sometimes disappears.

3. On the home screen when is playing radio there is twice shown frequency and no information about the station. There is the same when adding radio station to favourites.

4. The buttons below the media widget are showing the local music and radio. There could be also a button for the Spotify.

5. When using navigation widget after 10 to 20 minutes the system becomes frozen and must be restarted.

I am thinking to try the rom but could you tell me if the google assistant is included? I launch it from the steering wheel and use it for calls and to run navigation as I prefer this solution whilst driving instead of playing with the tablet what can distract.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Hi urgo2x, thanks for feedback. You are using latest launcher version are you?

1, 2, 5 seem bug, we'll look into that.

3, you mean there used to have radio station name but sometime lost?

4. already in the plan for a media source change in the future.

As for the ROM and google assistant, vivid google assistant support is under developing, so No for now.

Are u using stock ROM now? it naturally support steering wheel and google assistant?
[MTCD Software Development] urgo2x:
@vivid_1, I don't use a stock rom. I installed your launcher over the Malaysk rom.

Till yesterday I used the latest version. Today there was an update and I haven't possibility to use it yet.

Regarding to the radio stations, the name is visible only on the radio screen for currently playing station. It is never visible on the favourite radio stations shortcuts and never visible on the home screen widget - there is shown frequency twice all the time.
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
I never used the stock music. Just the vivid music player
[MTCD Software Development] kboxvegas:
It appears that the vivid launcher is taking over the Bluetooth in some way and randomly changing the pin code on each reboot. I've worked very hard to get the OBDlink mx+ working on my px6 Dasaita unit and it works but upon each reboot the pin on the head unit changes and I have to change it back before it will connect again even though it's still claiming to be paired. Is there any way to prevent this from happening or maybe this could be added as a option in the future?
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
Why don't you remove the unused apps from the system when building the rom?
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
ok clear, will check thanks
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
got u and nice suggestion, will check thanks
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
hmmm, thanks for the feedback, will change this behavior in later release, stay tune thanks
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
Regarding the number 4.... I suggest to be three selectable items:

Radio

Local media

A dynamic option that register the last external media player used (could be any streaming app or any other media player). The name of the app should be changed according to the registered last media app played. In case the dynamic option couldn't be an easy implementation it could be an app that could be defined in vivid settings
[MTCD Software Development] Rami3073:
Are you considering adding custom icon pack support? It would be nice to style it personally.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
hey man will be such design and interaction, already on the way, nice suggestion, thank u~
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Can you provide a example ui for icon pack? you want change all app icon or only app icon style or only navigation bar etc.
[MTCD Software Development] Rami3073:
As in have the ability to download icon pack from play store and change the icons for all apps on Vivid launcher.
[MTCD Software Development] salamaahm:
One more bug I am still facing with Zlink and steering wheel buttons, as when I click the answer and end call buttons it minimize Zlink and open the Bluetooth dialer, I am running the latest version of the launcher and 4.0.17 for Zlink
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
Rds is working on the last version, ar least the station name appears...but on the recent/favorite screen it never displayed the name....

I suggest the following:

On the tunning screen:

one text line for the frequency.

Next line for an user name....but Make the name field size bigger (now is too small).

A third line could be for the rds data.

Take in mind that rds data is not necessarily the name station....some stations update the rds data to show the current playing song.

On the favorite/recent screen:

long pressing the icon it could be edited the station properties:

Name station. If rds data it could be overriden by the user name

Icon. You should be able to assign a local image for the logo station
[MTCD Software Development] KaylaKev:
Hi, im new here. My Dasaita unit is equipped with additional sub woofer during the installation last time and it works well. after i update to vivid 10, my sub woofer stop working. may i know what is the problem now?

Does this vivid launcher has not update its component to support sub woofer?
[MTCD Software Development] KaylaKev:
Hi, i notice that this vivid 10 have sub woofer output problem. Hopefully they will fixed this fast or else has to revert back to max 10 interface.

Btw, tell me if you found the solution as well
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Ok, will consider, may take some time for this, stay tune
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Will check the bug ASAP, thanks for feedback
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Nice suggestion, will go through and may refine radio in later version.

What's 'user name' mean here?
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
sorry about that, will check what happen on this
[MTCD Software Development] ipgoogle:
hello sir

i try to install last v. from this luncher on my 6.0.1 px5 headunit ( i use malaysk 6 rom ) and i update mcu to last v. form MX

i install but when i try to open it its give me black screen all the time , just black screen with out freez the HU .

whats the problem and how i ca fix it ?
[MTCD Software Development] KaylaKev:
i solve this problem. i forgot to turn on the SUB on amplifier.
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
Check on the equalizer app and on the factory settings if everything is correct
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
With user name I meant a user defined text for the station, it could be the name of the radio station or any other text to identify it
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Wow, that's really help.. thanks
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Hmmm, interesting, will consider when optimize radio rds
[MTCD Software Development] KaylaKev:
problem solve. the issue is, i just didnt turn on the SUB on amplifier
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
Not all the stations have rds activated and some of them use a dynamic text referring to the current program or song, but not the station name....so having the possibility of editing the a text field and the station icon could have a very good customization for the radio app
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Got u~ thanks
[MTCD Software Development] ZEUSN9:
Can you add option to force default as home launcher and add Weather temperature CELSIUS? I have ALLWINNER ANDROID 10 and I can’t choose as home launcher as default because when I hit home it goes to the stock launcher
[MTCD Software Development] N0.skill:
With last vivid version , music from zlink stops. After starting head unit, it will activate carplay and music will start for half a second and than pause.
[MTCD Software Development] glashow:
Hello,

I see that currently the preview of the map is done by google map but I would like this preview to be done via waze is it possible?

second thing in the music widget on the right it can't load more items from youtube music and spotify I only have the current title displayed any ideas why it do this ?
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Hi what's ALLWINNER ANDROID 10? is it a HCT platform device? We'll look into this suggestion anyway, thanks
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Hi I want to confirm this issue, when you say zlink music stops, you mean zlink music cannot play, always stop or only when device start up?
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Hi for waze preview, right cannot because Waze official don't provide a sdk mapview for thirdparty to integrate. But if you are using px6 vivid ROM, you can use system split screen to do that (but only trigger manually)

For the right side, you mean you want to browse content of spotify? That's not possible because Spotify don't allow that as well.. You can only click the now playing cover to go into spotify app to do that.

Thanks for your suggestions.
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
I don't think currently there is a specific function for specific car into Vivid
[MTCD Software Development] KhangTran476:
You don't need to worry about that. Just choose any car in the list. That's none function.
[MTCD Software Development] yhzhou:
Yes, planed in the future, thanks for this point
[MTCD Software Development] yhzhou:
Waze don't provide any api for provide a mapview in another app(vivid), but in the future maybe headunit split window can meet your need, but that may need user action, thanks for suggest
[MTCD Software Development] yhzhou:
That's a bug will fix later version, thanks for suggestion
[MTCD Software Development] KhangTran476:
Can you zoom little a bit of Mapview? That's means I want the map to zoom-in a bit more but always have to center the current position.
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
Although you are not part of zlink...when using carplay (zlink) steering wheel is not working (when worked on previous hct firmwares without vivid) if pressing next song it is translated as next song in vivid and not in carplay and automatically switches audio to vivid

Edit....

This behavior occurs with any third party application.. the vivid music widget keeps as primary and steering wheel buttons only activate vivid music and not 3rd party app

Edit 2:

The issue is that sometimes ...the music control widget that overlays on any screen do not focus on the current 3rs parte app (like spotify) and never on zlink

If you were playing something fron bluetooth and changes to vivid 3rd party app (like spotify) sometimes it randomly goes back to bluetooth music (without pressing anything)
[MTCD Software Development] nxdesign:
I had to uninstall vivid because of this issue. For those with android auto or carplay, we need a seamless experience where vivid just fades to background like the stock launcher.
[MTCD Software Development] Rami3073:
I have to say, this launcher is the best car launcher I have ever used on an Android Head Unit! Well-done! I only have 2 feature requests:

1. Can you make an option to disable the floating Home and Music control button if we don't need it? In some apps it can be quite distracting.

2. Can the Maps section for google maps be more in line with showing live turn-by-turn navigation to be exactly how it works with the Google maps app? Also, when searching for an address it doesn't find anything. Bug?

Thank you.
[MTCD Software Development] jollyboy1995:
love this launcher but would love to be able to customize it more and also would love to use Waze and Spotify as the 2 main apps on the home screen or option to change the main apps on the home screen would be a great idea
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
are you using a vivid launcher only? or the deprecated vivid rom?
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
If only use vivid launcher, this is happening, then it's a bug, we'll try to reproduce and fix in the future
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
wow, thank you very much, this inspire us to keep moving forward.

for feature1, yes, will plan in future release

for feature2, not showing turn by turn is because google map don't provide this function for 3rd party. Searching in app is bug, will fix in later release
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Thanks, that's the plan to add more customization in the future. Stay tune and more suggestion will be welcome
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
If you mean add waze into the domain bar in the bottom, yes we can, you can just open waze map, then waze icon will replace google as shortcut. If you mean replace the left side map view, we cannot now cause waze don't support that
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
that should be a bug, we'll try to reproduce and fix it in the future
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Yes, do you have any suggestion functions which current rom not supported regarding Can
[MTCD Software Development] jollyboy1995:
Error
[MTCD Software Development] KhangTran476:
1. Please release new version with fixing issue: Music Player, when I move forward or backward the song using the Steering Wheel button, it jumps Twice.

2. Song list sort by randomly between "Name file" and "Song name". Hopefully you add with 2 options for sorting it.

3. Please remove the feature that the left-screen (MapView) keeps pulling up every time the launcher start.

4. For the right-screen (Music Player), add buttons switching between Local, Bluetooth, and Radio above Music Player instead of forcing access in the app.

5. Let's improve the ability to switching between Day and Night theme smoothly.

I am using vivid Rom provided as stock by Dasaita....not the one published on forums.

Vivid is updated to the latest version available

What is the difference between a full vivid rom and hct rom+vivid launcher?
[MTCD Software Development] ZEUSN9:
Please see the attachment, and it was not a suggestion it was a request because not everyone use same units, so please next update add CELSIUS and option to select as default home launcher
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
Is NOT hct device....
[MTCD Software Development] ZEUSN9:
So what if is not an HTC device? What does that matter? For what I am requesting about the weather temperature unit to add CELSIUS
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Got it. For CELSIUS, you can go VIVID settings->Display->Unit to change to Metric to see if it meet your need?

For select as default home launcher, we may add a option in the future release, stay tune and thanks again
[MTCD Software Development] glashow:
Thank you for answering me unfortunately I will not use your launcher because my way of using my headunit is not possible with VIVID but this one is interesting and incredibly well designed.

but this one is still interesting and incredibly well designed we are lucky to have people like you who develop applications like this continue like this!
[MTCD Software Development] maxxxy:
hello everyone and thanks

i have px5

i installed vivid launcher and gave all permissions ... but it seems to me that nothing works ....

the navigator does not see the map ...

the radio tells me that there is no channel list ...

where am I wrong ????

instead of having the mp3 player is it possible to put spotify or deezer ???

thank you
[MTCD Software Development] KaylaKev:
Hi admin, the music widget works very well if i played the radio using online apps (e.g. syok app). the song titles apears. but whenever using stock local radio, the station name doesn't apear even the song title. Any future update on this thing sooner or later?
[MTCD Software Development] urgo2x:
I agree about the names of radio stations. I am waiting for the update too.
[MTCD Software Development] The_IronBeast:
Simple Suggestion: Sometimes I find a need to manually restart the headunit, for whatever reason, and cannot do so easily without having to make a setting change that prompts it. Can a restart button, ir app, be added?
[MTCD Software Development] Don Kihoty:
Updated to the last version!

Good news! Music starts almost instant! It "cashes" the last song, until it searches for ther rest on the USB.

Thanks for that!

Worked 3 times, since then always starts with "File not found" and have to waith 2-3-4-5min.

Here yet i found another bug:

Box

app.box.com

In split-screen mode, the Music Player has the "Vivid" background, and its compressed on horizontal sides,

so the aspect ratio does not exist. Maybe you can put a solid color, its a easy fix, untill you can fix the aspect ratio in split-screen mode.

More tho i dont like the Vivid logo in the background anyway, album art would look better, or solid black color if no album art exist.

Thanks!
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
why not? can you inform me about what's your way and expectation, let's see if there is possible in the future cause we are involving~
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Hi thanks for trying, where do you locate? and can you take a screenshot of your settings page about system version information
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
'stock local radio' you mean vivid radio in vivid music domain or the radio app in apps page? does the station frequency show up or there is nothing but a colorful cover?
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Thanks for feedback, where do you locate? are you also using RDS? RDS support is on the way, stay tune pls.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Thanks for feedback, will do that within future one or two release, stay tune thanks
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Thanks for such detailed feedback, will look into this
[MTCD Software Development] urgo2x:
Poland, and no, I don't use rds.
[MTCD Software Development] KaylaKev:
stock local radio is the preinstalled radio apps on the apps page. Station frequency number did show up it seem a little bug there. i cannot switch other radio station from music widget. i need to open the radio app and switched it.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Will look into that, suggestion now is to use vivid integrated radio should be no problem. If no RDS requirement, should be better than stock radio
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Then you can try vivid integrated radio instead of stock radio app, dashboard media control is working well with that; The stock radio issue we'll see, thanks for your feedback
[MTCD Software Development] KaylaKev:
hi, do you mean vivid integrated radio which on music widget isn't it?
[MTCD Software Development] pskopylov:
Hello. What happened with VIVID Launcher in Play Market?
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
RDS data is shown with the latest vivid launcher integrated into vivid ROM, at least for México.
[MTCD Software Development] N0.skill:
Only on startup it will do it. wZlink will play for a second and then stops, after that i can press play and listen to music
[MTCD Software Development] urgo2x:
I use Vivid integrated radio app and it doesn't show station name on the home screen. It shows only frequency twice. Moreover when launch vivid radio, it start playing but then launcher is restarted. After restarting radio doesn't play so I launch it again and again radio start playing, launcher is restarted and after restart radio doesn't play. After 2 or 3 times it finally play.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Thanks, something wrong been UnShelve by google, should be recovered several days ago.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
thanks will try to reproduce
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
thnaks valuable information for us
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Yes
[MTCD Software Development] pskopylov:
A good point is to set the automatic screen fading (switching to a dark screen mode with a time display)
[MTCD Software Development] blairpoodle:
Has development stopped?
[MTCD Software Development] Don Kihoty:
I hope not
[MTCD Software Development] blairpoodle:
Obviously not given latest ROM on dasiata site. ;)
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
Even new ROM not necessarily new launcher version...just better integration
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
No lol, sorry for the late reply, new OTA should be on tmr
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
We don't bro~ thanks for the support all the time.
[MTCD Software Development] lupastro82:
Hi, i update my dasaita max 10 hd (Toyota chr) to latest vivid launcher, but now cannot found a dab app (before present in old system, I've internal dab - not USB).

Someone can help with this?

Maybe I need an extra app or is simple hidden in my system?

Thanks.
[MTCD Software Development] n0_pl4n_m4n:
Hi, I have a PX6 Android 10 HU with Hal9k rom and your Vivid Launcher. Everything works fine for me. Great work so far!

Amazon music works also fine in the widget (y)

One question - is it possible to change the map in the homescreen widget, because I prefer to use Here We Go. I still set it to my default navi app.

Thanks.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Sorry, the homescreen map widget is actually develop customized, that means we need integrate Here wego sdk if they have to support that, even though we cannot get active route in the map widget with Here we go map apk.

While if your ROM support split screen, you can split here we go with vivid half by half.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
DAB app should be get from Dasaita when buying there accessory? You may need an app, try to help

https://mega.nz/file/zDhiyDAC#AF_UkP1qMxWGHKDpzmOLzXUV8FfWiCuIZfT4vzxXBoA

If not working pls contact Dasaita for that
[MTCD Software Development] lupastro82:
Dab app are by system in dasaita firmware.

Already contacted dasaita 😅

Anyway, I'll try this today.
[MTCD Software Development] Don Kihoty:
There is no Vivid DAB support, for the Dasaita Dongle.

You have to use the old app for the DAB:

YHX-DAB+W8-S1.38.apk | Powered by Box

app.box.com

This is the app i have and use with my unit. its the app from the MAX10 ROM, and it works fine.
[MTCD Software Development] lupastro82:
I seen now, thanks (app is the same as previous mega link). Installed, work, but cannot add in home screen widget atm. Today i try again, otherwise i need to come back to default dasaita firmware.
[MTCD Software Development] Don Kihoty:
No, you cant - but you can add it as an app on the task-bar, thats all.

Its not integrated into radio.

Vivid ROM has a lot of work to be done, for a daily use as a complete solution.

Use it as a "beta" software, because it is. But its potential is great.
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
For latest vivid version , this is possible, if we know user want to use some kind of media, we can server driven that app in the media change list on the dashboard, will try to see this today
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
If that's standard android media control, we can add that into media list in latest vivid
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
In the latest version I noticed that you implemented that the latest media player used appears to be listed as media source (i.e. Spotify)...but when I go from.spotify to radio and back to Spotify bu means of the combo box menu it does not resume Spotify's and it does not recognize the song was paying before....I have to open Spotify to play it again
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Should tested, this is a very common scenario, will try ASAP
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
That's a bug, multi thread issue, when switch fast will happen, will do a Hotfix update Tmr
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
I have a suggestion. Add into the vivid settings the possibilty of reboot the unit with two options:

Normal reboot

Reboot into recovery menu

This is useful for forcing new updates (recovery) or for refreshing the android system if something goes wrong (like speed down of the responsiveness of the unit)
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
Got u~ will try to add in the coming two release
[MTCD Software Development] marchnz:
Hi - playstore "not available for your country"

Please make available for [New Zealand]
[MTCD Software Development] vivid_1:
OK will soon
