Hello, I bought the NavRadio app. Is it also possible to replace the NavRadio app with the radio app from the Hal9k?
[FYT Android Head Units] KoTiX2:
Do you mean replace default radio app with Navradio??
[FYT Android Head Units] Lieschen1983:
yes
[FYT Android Head Units] KoTiX2:
In hal9k modsettings app there is an option to replace system apps with the ones of your choice
[FYT Android Head Units] Droyka:
What do you think KoTiX2?
[FYT Android Head Units] KoTiX2:
I don't think it will allow larger font .

There will be a bigger logo on the left but if I increase the font, the name will be very short.

On the contrary if I put the logo on top of the name, I can use a longer name but the logo will be the same size as it is now.

bTW suggestions for a nice layout are welcome ;)
[FYT Android Head Units] EasyUdo:
Hello KoTIX2,

thank you for this great radio app. I have been using it for a while in the full version.

But since I reinstalled Vivid with Scout (Dasaita), there is a small problem.

NavRadio starts automatically, but after a few seconds the sound goes off. I then have to close the app and restart it so that I can hear something again.

Do you have any tips for me?

Rockchip PX6 from Dasaita

Android V. 10

MCU version: MTCE_HA_V3.71d_1
[FYT Android Head Units] KoTiX2:
No tips except to change launcher. NavRadio has never worked with vivid.

Vivid block NavRadio in its own code and I cannot do nothing about it.

It's needed a version of vivid without that block but I have no idea if it exist and it's needed a special version of NavRadio with media rower service that I never released to public because it cause problems to FCC launcher.
[FYT Android Head Units] EasyUdo:
Thank you for the quick reply.

I currently have the Microsoft Launcher installed. Everything works, only the sound goes away once.

Then I will install the MAX10 version again, then it will probably work again.

Almost nothing worked with HAL9K.
[FYT Android Head Units] KoTiX2:
An updated FREE version of NavRadio is now available here:

V3.13 DROPBOX LINK

or

V3.13 GDRIVE LINK

It will be updated on Playstore and Appgallery too.

It's allined with all the fixes from the full version and I improved the stations buttons sliding left/right.
[FYT Android Head Units] marjanoos:
To improve my FM radio reception I have installed signal amplifier. Generally it works, more stations are found and now AF don't want to search for AF in my area so much, even if the manual sensitivity slider is set to 45 (0-100 range).

But what I've experienced is that even if the sound is totally noisy it won't search AF also. May it be because of the amplifier?
[FYT Android Head Units] KoTiX2:
Maybe now you need to lower the sensitivity because now the signal is always more.than 45?
[FYT Android Head Units] marjanoos:
So if there’s a big noise, signal may be still strong?
[FYT Android Head Units] KoTiX2:
Yes, it could be. Unfortunately an amplifier increase the signal of the noises too.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Did your read the FYT Settings explained?

Antenna normally on ( Some cars need constant 12V on the Antenna to get a good signal, especially when you have a fin antenna and connected via the CAN bus => Then set to On)

In that case an amplifier works contra-productive.
[FYT Android Head Units] marjanoos:
Yes, I tried that. Didn’t help at all.
[FYT Android Head Units] KoTiX2:
Navradio version 3.14 is on the way.

Here the changelog:

- Changed Stations numbering in grid view

- Improved sliding movements and pagination of stations buttons

- Changed "Frequency Merge" setting selectable by "Off-AfterConfirmation-Fully Automatic"

- Updated Morocco and Portugal logos
[FYT Android Head Units] honzis:
Hi guys, i have tried test version of navradio apk and have tested apk and in the places in the poor signal of radio is signal interfere in short intervals with lte modem.Do you someone similar experience? Thank you. Jan
[FYT Android Head Units] marioti:
thats a good improvement. Really like it
[FYT Android Head Units] KoTiX2:
But it caused a problem when changing stations order :(
[FYT Android Head Units] danutsrl:
Hi KoTiX2, I install this new update (i use paid version) and i notice that when i change stations , in list mode, there is a delay in displaying radio station logos/informations. This problem was not present in previous versions. Please can you check this situation. Thank you.
[FYT Android Head Units] rockman18:
Hello @KoTiX2, last week I moved a lot and I came from area 1 where station 1 has a frequency, when I was in area 2, station 2 has the frequency of station 1 in area 1. (The frequency is added as AF for station 2). But when I click station 2 on the grid, station 1 is selected. The selection is done by frequency not by picode.
[FYT Android Head Units] KoTiX2:
Would be great if you could make a video to better understand the problem.

Anyway double click on the station that show the wrong frequency so it will switch back to the original frequency.

The selection indeed is made by frequency because most models don't even receive the picode.

Picode is used only for the automatic seek of an Alternative Frequency and for logo assignments.
[FYT Android Head Units] rockman18:
I'm not in the concern area anymore so it will be difficult to make a video.

But it seems weird to select by frequency when we want to save a station whatever its frequency is. If I want to listen Station 1 in Paris and I move to Marseille I still want to listen Station 1 (same picode).

In my case:

- In Paris Radio 1 is 97.2Mhz and in Marseille it's 102.5Mhz.

- In Paris Radio 2 is also 102.5Mhz and this Radio 2 doesn't emit in Marseille.

- When I'm in Marseille and I select Radio 1 in my list, the selected radio become Radio 2 with Radio 2 frequency, Radio 2 logo and Radio 2 name and I ear Radio 1.

- When I click on a saved radio I want to listen a picode not a frequency that's why I think the selection should be done by picode. And if in my area Radio 1 emit on 2 frequency, I don't need to save it twice in my list, only once with a easy way to switch between frequencies.

Edit : oh I haven't seen that most models don't received picode. Not that easy to find a better implementation.
[FYT Android Head Units] KoTiX2:
Yep, before I added radioproxy for FYT units, only the MTC models can receive the picodes.

Anyway it's not even easy to implement a feature that involve a real usage of picodes an AF in different areas while sitting on a desk. ;)
[FYT Android Head Units] KoTiX2:
Coming up version 3.15:

- Changed again numbering in grid view because of problems moving stations

- Fixed QF01 radio region selection
[FYT Android Head Units] Battoussai:
Hi Kotix2. Great app you deliver to us everyday. Thanks for that.

I know that hardware buttons on the units are coded to their apps. I also am aware that surfer63 have a mod to change some of those buttons but not the RADIO button. The question is your navradio always started WITH the press of my unit RADIO button. And I don't know how. I have installed in the early 2023 and it automatically suited itself as RADIO main app. That was great! Even if you didn't mean to. :) (the unit radio app is still there)

Meanwhile, during your last update I've lost this ability (no more updates to the unit itself were made) and now the RADIO button calls the awfull default unit program.

Do you know by any chance if you have changed something that would affect this navradio behavior?

Thanks for all your effort and time spent.

Generic FYT uis7862 unit specific for Volkswagen VI - ("Audiosources" is the brand and seller name)
[FYT Android Head Units] KoTiX2:
Hi, thx for your appreciation :)

Yes, I removed the FytOnekey part of the code that handle the radio button because now exist the RadioProxy app that totally replace the default radio app with NavRadio and a lot more.

Please install RadioProxy 1.3 (link on second post of this thread) and you'll be fine.

The FytOneKey code was redundant at this point. ;)
[FYT Android Head Units] Battoussai:
Ohhh I see. I did saw mentions about RadioProxy but didn't realized it was a replacement of FytOneKey. :D

Great! I will read more closely to it, install it and give you feedback.

Thanks for your kind explanation. Keep up the work we love.
[FYT Android Head Units] rockman18:
Hello @KoTiX2 ,

I have reproduce my bug with different radio station with the same frequency, here is a video.

I live in Paris France. Radio FG is on 98.2Mhz and RTL2 is on 105.9Mhz.

When I moved during my holidays in another area RTL2 was on 98.2Mhz.

This morning in Paris I have lost RTL2 so AF seek started. It stop on 98.2Mhz (Radio FG), the logo and the name was RTL2 and the RDS told Radio FG.

When I click on my Radio FG icon in the list, RTL2 station name and logo are still displayed. There is no difference between Radio FG or RTL2 button. So There is no way to know if I am listening RTL2 or another station. If I double click on RTL2 button I go back on alternate frequency 105.9Mhz and all go back to normal.
[FYT Android Head Units] KoTiX2:
Ok. I see your point but honestly I don't have many ideas on how to automatically solve this issue.

Have you enabled the "Automatic Merge of alternative frequency" in NavRadio settings/radio?
[FYT Android Head Units] rockman18:
That's why I was suggesting you to use the picode instead of the frequency but I have understood your point.

Yes the Automatic Merge of alternative frequency is active with confirmation but I've never received any popup to merge. Can you remind me how this feature is supposed to work please ?
[FYT Android Head Units] luigiilfalco:
Is it possible to run Navradio+ on a K4811?
[FYT Android Head Units] KoTiX2:
When a picode is received and a station with that picode already exist, the current frequency is added to the AF list of that station in first position

No.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Maybe I do not fully grasp what your app is doing.

As @rockman18 states: Then the selection mechanism is not correct.

I assume that when your program finds a frequency somewhere in its AF stations, it uses the logo and name from that station and does not check the picode. But it should check on picode AND frequency.

In that case you will not get mixups like rockman18 mentions, where 2 different stations, obviously having different picodes, share the same frequency in different regions.

And in that situation the automatic merge of alternative frequencies will work better as well (I think).
[FYT Android Head Units] danutsrl:
Hi KoTiX2, after the last update, when I change the radio station from the buttons on the steering wheel, all the radio stations are highlighted and not just the current one. If I change stations on the navigation touch, only the current station is highlighted. The situation persists in all three display modes grid, list, carousel. I also tried a clean install, but the same problem. I note that they did not have this problem in previous versions. Please check.
[FYT Android Head Units] Battoussai:
Hi Kotix2. Everything went fine - I instaled RadioProxy1.3 and the RADIO button was assigned automaticaly to NAVRADIO+. Nothing more simple.

Thanks again.
[FYT Android Head Units] mrchloo:
+1
[FYT Android Head Units] KoTiX2:
Yep, it's already been reported me.

I'll fix it tomorrow. ;)
[FYT Android Head Units] KoTiX2:
Ok then... The new version 3.16 is on the way to PlayStore with fixes and the "set station by picode" request ;)

- Fixed bad highlight of stations using steering wheel commands

- Fixed ClearList not cleaning stations

- Fixed small frequency text in carousel view

- Stations are now set by pi-code when it's received
[FYT Android Head Units] cleverdicky:
Hi just waiting on a delivery of a new unit, a 7862s based. Not sure if fyt yet though but possibly. I would like to install this on it. It didnt come with dab but I already have a usb module to use. Could this be any issue ?

Also importantly I dont do playstore - never have, never will. Would it be ok once I test with the free version to buy from you direct with say paypal ?
[FYT Android Head Units] KoTiX2:
No, sorry. You can buy it only from PlayStore or Huawei Appgallery.
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
Dab is irrelevant. This is FM/AM only.

Paid version only works via Play Store services or Huawei store in China/Russia.

Kotix has already confirmed a few times he will not change this. If you don't buy via an app store you cannot use the paid version.

Every time the app sees an internet connection it checks with Google that it is a paid version.

This protects his app from copyright.

Allowing payment via PayPal there would be nothing stopping you sharing the paid app with anyone else.

You won't find many (if any) Android app developers who uses Google play services to authenticate premium purchases who are willing to send premium versions of their app with no protection.

They would basically be cracking/modding their own app.

That is a very big ask of someone.
[FYT Android Head Units] cleverdicky:
OK no problem.

Sorry about the dab mix up, I remembered reading about one.

Curious though. Hal managed it OK with his mod upgrades - So how would it confirm purchase on each use if play store / services are disabled and without any data connection ?
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
You should not compare the HAL mods with "normal" Play Store apps. The HAL mods would never be allowed on the PlayStore in the first place as it violates so many Play Store regulations (and even more if he would try to do it via the Apple Store). So you should stop this left or right trying to get it.

Either you purchase via Play Store or Huawei, or you don't. Simple as that. Don't expect a programmer to twist in every direction because one or a few users request this.
[FYT Android Head Units] KoTiX2:
In the past I did something similar to hal payment method using PayPal but that involve me to handle each purchase almost manually sending special activation codes by email or building a special server that check the payments and verify the codes etc..

Honestly I don't have time and I don't want to waste it for that anymore.

I also feel I'm a bit old for this kind of things...
[FYT Android Head Units] mcvive:
First of all, thank you very much for the work done @KoTiX2 , I've been using the app here in Berlin since December and I'm absolutely satisfied, love the design, soon I'll tour again and do more tests (like AF etc.)
[FYT Android Head Units] Closerm6b:
Hi

I think reception sensitivity not working correctlly,must change it manually every time you need to make station seaching for Af or merge.
[FYT Android Head Units] spectra9:
Hi @KoTiX2

I'm using NavRadio+ with WidgetUpdater for Teyes. In the FYT music widget however, the pause button does not pause the radio. I've enabled the option to pause on click of the center logo in NavRadio+. Is there a way so that the radio can be paused from the widget?

Note: I'm aware NavRadio+ has it's own widget, but I'm using FYT launcher so there's no easy way to use it there. Besides I'd like to use one widget only for both music and radio if possible.
[FYT Android Head Units] cleverdicky:
Hi, thanks for reply. Its no problem. Im sorry to ask, as I dont live and breath these forums so I dont read every post. From the condesending replies I just got you can understand why.

I dont no that I will need it yet and only ask after seeing a few posts of the pitfalls of these 'cheap unbranded' radios, as some say. If I do ill work something out with a temp account. Ive only ever had pioneer in the past that just worked, although some mods were involved still. But nowadays as they are just overpriced mostly empty aa boxes. Are we the bigger fools buying cheap chinese hardware.

And then the mtcd's we all no & love.

Incidentally I notice in the 1st post you made a version for huawei, may I ask what that's about. I love huawei phones (no google) but this app surly isnt for a phone is it ?
[FYT Android Head Units] marioti:
Is there a way to edit on desktop the navradio preferences file (saved erlier), to add all alternative stations. And then just read the file by app
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Sure. If you know how to edit a json file, you can do that in an ascii-editor (and if you are on Windows: never use notepad)

The problem with this json file is, is that it is not 100% json compliant and it uses HTML-character encoding for colons, space, double-quotes. So either you "see through" this or create a script to rewrite it, do your editing and write a script to convert it back.
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
What's condensing about any of the replies you have had? Just because it wasn't the answer you wanted?

You posted in the main technical thread where right at the top end of the thread, in bold, it says

The OP simply pointed this out to you.

Your very next post is throwing an unnecessary comment about getting your wrists slapped, then a comment about some members here being "fan boys" and another comment about some members having strong feelings about specific brands.

Do you wonder why it went unanswered when it contains so many sly comments to those you are asking advice from.

There are no threads discussing build quality because they are basically all the same. Most of the boards are identical excluding the odd component change here and there.

There are no fan boys here.

Many dislike Teyes because of their proprietary locked down nonsense.

Mekede firmware/kernel is most discussed because it is 1 of the the most frequently updated and easily available.

There are no Mekede fan boys though. They are a pretty poor company with really slow response times who lie about the Android version on most of their units.

The Huawei app gallery is not just for Huawei phones. It can be installed on pretty much any Android 5+ device.

The OP put it there for users in Russia who cannot purchase apps on the Play Store and for users in China where there is no Play Store. This allows these users to purchase the app while protecting the devs work.
[FYT Android Head Units] KoTiX2:
You can save the stations list in a Json file using the "manage list" function.

I suggest you to use notepad++ to edit the Json file. It's similar to XML.
[FYT Android Head Units] spectra9:
Hi @KoTiX2, just in case you missed this, can you help? As an additional info, the pause button in Ubiquity widget also does not pause Navradio+
[FYT Android Head Units] KoTiX2:
NavRadio+ actually doesn't act as a mediaplayer so why the pause button doesn't work.

I'll see if I can find a workaround but i'have just changed my real job and I don't have much time to dedicate to the app right not (probably for the next few weeks/months).
[FYT Android Head Units] marjanoos:
I still have an issue that NavRadio+ is switching automatically from other player (Spotify in that case) to radio in case new AF is found. It happened even if I turned AF off.

the radio will still start
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
He means that the radio will still start playing after a cold boot.

Answer: yes, of course it is.

I have answered this already a hundred times since 2015 and added it again to the Q&A, see Q15
[FYT Android Head Units] honeker64@gmail.com:
Ok...
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
This only happens at cold boot. If you make the navradio start at cold boot, you can mute the radio audio channel.

Hi KoTiX!

I cannot find this option im my radio settings.

my unit is FYT 53 yin, does my unit have support for this?
[FYT Android Head Units] KoTiX2:
The function is called "Frequency merging" and right now is available only for MTC devices because it use the station ID code to check the for the Alternative Frequencies of a station.

On FYT devices AF function is completely broken and the ID code is received only by a native library that is not accessible directly from my app.

I have on my to-do list a manual set of AF frequencies...
[FYT Android Head Units] spludgey:
I've got a problem that occasionally after I play Youtube Music, Navradio mutes itself and the only way I can get it back is to restart the headunit. Has anyone else got this problem?

I used the removal tool, so I don't have that any more.
[FYT Android Head Units] Billmans:
Fantastic app - interface looks great! What an upgrade over the stock radio interface!

Small issue:

I can't seem to get station images to stick - I can hit edit - find the logo I want, click save but it does not show up and when I go to edit it again its gone? I have set the region, downloaded and extracted the logos.

Feature Request:

Would it be possible to add the favorites or saved stations to the widget? (or a separate widget) Would be great to have them on the home screen so that when "others" drive the car they are easy to find!

Only other issue is the stock radio screwing things up from startup/resume. Going to try the scripts tonight and see if that fixes things!

Thanks again for porting this!
