To start with: Enjoy your vacation!

I find it difficult to answer this, because you are quite enthusiastic and my answer might disappoint you.

After more than 38 years in IT I have become a "normal enduser". Every now and then I find a new "hobby subject" I want to tinker with, like this launcher. But I don't want to spend long time on it. Your perseverance in creating your NavRadio and making it a great app on multpiple platforms, is not my motivation anymore with these units. If it works, it is fine. And like said: sometimes I find a new hobby object.

I want to finish the 3 layouts, but for me that's enough. If someone can and will improve it: that's great and if I can contribute, I will.

Working in the smali to create extra layout options would mean to extend the if-then-else statement (several widths) with sub-statements (different heights per width) in the smali/com/android/launcher34/Launcher.smali and I don't want to do that (anymore) apart from chaning integers for the pip-window.

Your suggestion to change the smali to fix that popup is fine with me, but again: I actually don't want to spend time on it.

If you want me to help you, I will do my best. (If I can even help such an experienced programmer like you).

But I am not going to be the "project leader".

I like it very much if I start something "amateurish" and someone else makes it much better ;)

With regard to your option 1. and 2. for your NavRadio: I think it is a good added functionality as a lot of the FYT launchers now support it, also the older (Android 8.0.0 based) launcher 6 modded version inside the PeaceOS application layer.

But please think of your "business case": Is it worth the effort for such a small consumer market? It requires a lot of flexibility to adapt to all these PIP-window sizes. Or is that then automatic?
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Did you have a look at the Frontapp for Teyes? That one allows you to select multiple apps as favorite and cycle through them.

But simply starting an app from the app drawer and getting back to the home screen with this app in the PIP-window, is not supported by the launchers and can't be done by us.
[FYT Android Head Units] tlf55:
Guys, i have one question, when you use Android Auto does it use the Car (head unit) GPS or the phone GPS signal ?

You can test this with turning off your phone GPS/Location and using Android Auto with Google maps (Waze have a bug with this so don't use Waze to test), if it works that mean it using the car GPS which is what it should do, if it write that you need to open your location service on your phone that means that it ask for your phone gps which is not normal behaviour
[FYT Android Head Units] 03hdfatboy:
I tried launcher 34 on my lunch break today, nothing on Home Screen but side dock the rest was blank. Did I do something wrong ? Didn’t have time to play with it
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
So the launcher with the left app bar and the big window?

And you are on 1024x600?

Edit: I can't find an error. I had anticipated that some window elements might need to be slightly realigned as I can only calculate borders, but nothing?

Do you mean that you only have a light-grey half-transparent background, or absolutely nothing?

If you only have the light-grey half-transparent, you did not put an app yet in the PIP-window.

The default app can be set with "Settings -> General -> Launcher app setting"

Other looping apps can be set with the Front App.
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
I think mine uses my phone's GPS. I'll need to double check later but certainly with Waze running it used to use my phone's GPS.

It can vary between cars whether Android Auto uses the phones GPS or the head units GPS.
[FYT Android Head Units] tlf55:
For waze it's normal that it use the phone GPS, i don't know why but after my research, Waze ALWAYS use phone GPS, but Google Maps have to use the car GPS.. So try with google maps to be sure
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
Google maps doesn't always use the cars GPS.

Quite a few cars with official Android Auto don't even have GPS built in or they are simply setup to use the phones GPS.

Google is full of examples of users who are using their phones GPS for Google Maps on Android Auto

I'll check when I get home from work.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Completely correct.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
The Big Window with only bottom bar also functions fine. I will expand it to 1024x600 and 2000x1100/2000x1200 layouts. Tonight maybe.

Maybe I will add another "all apps" icon (bottom left) as this one does not fit in with the rest anymore.
[FYT Android Head Units] ahmed68:
yes its work but we must understand how its working , we must edit s9863a1h10.xml add all blocks we have then check the size and correct it , and make thats with fdl2-sign.bin .
[FYT Android Head Units] mariodantas:
Hi fellows, someone here is having problems with com.syu.carlink ?, my Android Auto Wireless does not work anymore since the latest AA Android update

Using Carlink 2.23 by the moment, is there anything newer than 2.23 ?

Thanks in advance !
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
Google maps uses my phone's GPS via carlink / Android Auto.

It refuses to work with location disabled.

That's perfectly normal and the same error message can be seen on official Android Auto.
[FYT Android Head Units] 03hdfatboy:
yes 1024x600

I had a big window with the wallpaper in the background
[FYT Android Head Units] 03hdfatboy:
I recently updated my carlink 2.23, I think it is the latest, It has been unreliable and very slow to connect if it ever does.

Hello. How to view content under "click to show content" button?
[FYT Android Head Units] LLIyT_HuK:
Most likely you have a translator enabled in your browser, it blocks the opening. Disable it and by pressing the spoiler will open.
[FYT Android Head Units] prokiller1199:
Yes I did test it today, I can navigate Waze with location disabled on my phone. But not on Google maps.

Same result like what j0hn83 posted.

Conclusion:

Waze use HU GPS.

Maps use phone GPS.
[FYT Android Head Units] Aleksandr_B:
Спасибо. Помогло.
[FYT Android Head Units] Matt Devo:
2 is the major version, 23 is the year. there's also the month-date and build # in the version string. "2.23" is not deterministic as it refers to all builds from this year.

I'm not having any issues with wireless AA on the various 2.23 builds on my Pixel 7
[FYT Android Head Units] Tahvaja:
Anyone else having a problem with the wifi hotspot not staying off? It can be turned off in the settings, but after a few seconds it comes back on. (Rather randomly) I've also noticed that for example certain bluetooth settings are not saved, although they can be edited in the settings.
[FYT Android Head Units] tlf55:
Thanks I can confirm that Waze on my end use the car GPS too .. I've read so many thing that Waze wasn't using it so didn't even tried it..
[FYT Android Head Units] Dietama:
i use this version too and my iPhone getting Hot when carply active, when using CP active the usb port showing charge logo but the battery still draining phone getting hot too.. its my first time using carlink, never has this issue before using Zlnk
[FYT Android Head Units] prokiller1199:
I'm using Android Auto Wireless on Car Link 2.0 v2.23.0522.1924. I think it's the latest from my HU manufacturer.

No issue for me, and yes my phone did get warm on a pixel but I think it's fine because it's wireless.
[FYT Android Head Units] Dietama:
my device m6 pro plus 8/128

here's my situation about using carlink 2.0,

there is 3 usb port labeled with usb0/1/2

and only usb 0 can do carply via USB,

the first picture when plug usb cable on port 1 or 2 the charging current its not amazing but it's okay i got 1231A power which it's enough power to charging slow some phone, the problem is the carply not working on that port,

the second picture when i plug usb cable on port 0 carply working good instantly, the problem is i only got 0.404A charging curent which its not charging even for old phone,

the third picture.. when i try to connect wirelessly carply and already connected wirelessly and plug usb cable to usb 0 i i got 1235A charging curent which its okay for me.

normaly when i use usb charger i got arround 2300-2400a changing current,

my problem is when im using USB carply via usb0 using usb cable (not) doing wireless trick my phone battery showing charging logo but the battery keep decreasing and hot beacuse the charging power just to low,

is there is a fix for this ? because before im using zlnk on uis8581a device its okay never had this problem before, the phone its not that hot and my battery keep increasing,

thanks, i attach picture 3 usb port for my 8581a device its lil bit different material than the m6proplus has. Thanks

sorry my english its not good.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Use a 12V usb-hub. Select one that can deliver enough power.
[FYT Android Head Units] Dietama:
ok thankyou very much let'me try tomorrow

but 12V usb-hub comes with adaptor, if i dont want to use adaptor but change the adaptor using car charger 100watt using converter will it work too?? i attach the pic what i want to try, thanks 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
[FYT Android Head Units] 03hdfatboy:
Got in a wreck today, so I guess I'll be bench testing my unit for a while.

[FYT Android Head Units] Pfeffernuss:
After painstakingly setting everything up this is an issue I'm also struggling with.

Would like to install latest firmware as well

but the whole hassle of starting from scratch is a genuine deal breaker.

There really is no way of editing the firmware files to not overwrite/delete the user data stuff..?
[FYT Android Head Units] Beauenheim:
Hi there, I recently procured an Mekede/Navifly 3GB RAM 32GB ROM M300s ( I think) from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092Z2JH9S?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

The first one I got managed to have a screen that was falling out, and the Bluetooth wasn't working. Error code 65535 when opening the Bluetooth app, no name or password assigned. Also RDS wasn't working.

Then I exchanged that, and my replacement also has the same Bluetooth issue. I was able to work around it by flashing the latest firmware provided to me by the seller here: http://www.mekede.com/Software Download Address1/ and changing sys.fyt.bluetooth_type=1 to 0 but I hear this disables Bluetooth BLE

RDS is still not working, however.

I tried a different firmware linked by another XDA member here: https://xdaforums.com/t/medeke-navifly-7862.4248969/post-86698923, which I noticed was a newer version. Surprisingly, CarPlay opens even faster with it. But I still had to change the bluetooth_type back from 1 to 0.

Talking to the seller can be a lot like pulling teeth, so I am curious to see if others have seen similar issues. Would anyone have any ideas? I can live with all this considering I got it for very cheap, harness already made for my car, it can do wired/wireless CarPlay just fine, but I want to make sure I have it working the best I can.

Also side note: Mine has a cooling fan. But I am not sure if it is working, I have it plugged into the harness but I can't feel any air out of it or hear it if I put my head close to it, maybe it spins at a really low RPM?

EDIT: Nvm on the fan thing. This function can be turned on by going into Settings > Sound > AMP ON or OFF. It has a little picture of a fan on it.
[FYT Android Head Units] roti86:
HI,

You have to tick AMP ON in the device/sound settings. see this picture from Aliexpress. RDS should work, as I remember in FM radio app settings you have to tick RDS.

Regarding bluetooth issue I can not help, mine works almost fine, the only issue is that every time my phone is connected/disconnected it downloads phonebook again, call logs are not transferred from phone to the head unit at all (and it also does not see my bluetooth OBD II device, but that's a well known issue).

Try to clear data and cache in android settings for bluetooth app and try to install this app if it recognizes your device
[FYT Android Head Units] Beauenheim:
Thanks for the info! I found that fan thing on a random YouTube video. But thank you for the aliexpress picture. I will read more about the device in general by finding it in aliexpress.

For RDS, Iwent into the settings on the radio app and I only have an option to selection region, or manual sense. I also scrolled on the bar to see if rds button was there and no dice. Like I said I contacted the seller but it maybe hard to get a response.

As for Bluetooth. When I go back and change the config to 1, it will say in the device settings Bluetooth device unknown. Which was the default way the firmware was. I will try the extra Bluetooth app to see if it sees something though, thank you!

Really it is all working well and good, I just wanted to make sure I am not losing out on Bluetooth quality.

Thank you!!

Hi @surfer63 and all cracks out there !!!

Is there a way to avoid the resets when applying a Joying firmware update ???

Its really a pain to get resetted at every firmware update ....

????? any hints, suggestions ???? thanks !!!

see also posts from pfeffernuss and me in the past
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Very simple.

Remove the updatecfg.txt before flashing. That one contains the several commands to partly/completely/specifically wipe "stuff" before flashing (see post #2).

FYT is not good in "migrating settings after configuration update". Especially in the earlier Sofia and PX5 units, they sometimes completely changed the way settings were stored. If you then flashed a firmware without wiping the previous one, you could get unstable units, functions that didn't work anymore , etcetera.

So if you flash your unit without the updatecfg.txt, and you get these kind of issues, you have only one remedy: flash it again with the updatecfg.txt.

But you don't have to be afraid something gets damaged if your remove it.
[FYT Android Head Units] _Trolk_:
hi,

I have the M300S model and I used to rummage in the network settings and the 5ghz wifi network has not worked since then. I don't remember jsk I did it. Does anyone know how to change to search for the 2.4 and 5 ghz bands? Maybe there is some service menu? Because there is no wifi in the settings. It is only at the hotspot, but when I change to 5Ghz, this network cannot be seen.
[FYT Android Head Units] pwood999:
Not tried it yet, but just downloaded the latest Joying firmware for my unit.

These are the files that change from the 7th April 22 to 6th May 22 releases. All others are exact binary match.
[FYT Android Head Units] Pfeffernuss:
Just tried it and indeed most things are intact after flashing. Data/data is being formatted though so all user installed app settings are gone.

So Agama, Carwebguru, Poweramp etc. now have to be setup again. No biggie, but definitely takes some time. Most probably the annoying things that have to be fixed will still be intact so in hindsight no idea why I flashed it anyway :p
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Sorry. I didn't think of that.

I am afraid this is part of how FYT does their updates. They are now using dynamic partitions (post #2, IV.) and clean /data/data. That is completely unnecessary (is Samsung, Motorola, Huawei, Oppo, etcetera doing that?), but they do that indeed. Probably still because they don't want to write update routines for settings, but being lazy simply overwrite everything in /data/data

if anyone can help me please thank you !
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
The radio will hardly change in new firmwares. All those applications will hardly change in new firmwares. You might take a look at the NavRadio thread for another much better radio app.

If you really want to change your firmware you can flash it with something like the latest Joying firmware. But that will come with the same radio app and music player.

Before you flash it with the Joying firmware you need to make some modifications to the Joying firmware.

All is described in post #2. It is a long read but you will understand much better what you need to do (and if you still want to do it).

Use my hwgetinfo (see the signature) to get the necessary info for your unit and current firmware.
[FYT Android Head Units] 03hdfatboy:
I have it but not sure how to extract it, If anyone knows LMK and I'll share it
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
No, that's not what I mean. I mean something like this. But pay attention to whether it is only a loader or really a functional USB-hub. Search for something like "wired 12V usb hub"
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Too bad. Are you OK?

The 2nd image is what you should get, but of course filled with an app. Did you already try frontapp to put something in there?

And I see that it is too big on the right side.

Thank you! Is your head unit FYT based? There could be apk for this application in /oem/app folder.
[FYT Android Head Units] Fredday:
Oh no rush then as I still have to figure out what exactly I need to do for this. I need to download and install the other luly thing first before I can get your launcher and I still don't understand how I get your launcher on my unit.. is this through the MD-app? Sorry I was away for 3 days so I missed quite some stuff it seems.

And another question I have about this since you talked about changing the all apps icon.. would it be possible to integrate this with the luly bar at the top and then even remove the entire app bar down? So it would be a clean screen for example where you can just press the all-app icon up top to go into your app list.
[FYT Android Head Units] LLIyT_HuK:
I foresee the answer "you want too much" =)

This is a modification of an existing application, it is very difficult to edit the code, and your Wishlist is tied just to the code.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
luly bar? I have no idea what you are talking about, unless you mean the SystemUI from @LLIyT_HuK .

The SystemUI comes with an installer. Unzip it to a clean usb-stick and flash it.

My launcher mods also come as an installer. Unzip it so a clean usb-stick and flash it. Updates of that modded launcher, or another layout, can then be installed as a normal app.

This is explained in the main post.

Edit: LLIyT_HuK and my post crossed each other.
[FYT Android Head Units] LLIyT_HuK:
As I understand it, he wants to remove the bar with application icons, and display a button in the statusbar, by which either these labels will be drawn, or a menu of all labels will open as if the allapps button is pressed.

P.S.: In theory, I could try adding an allapps button to SystemUI, but is it necessary?)
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Yes, and I want a golden Mercedes with an icecream machine built into it ;)
[FYT Android Head Units] sly2:
Thanks to the certain forum, the wiring diagram from the unit and my knowledge of electronics. The radio runs again! :D

I soldered an SD card directly, it was recognized by the bootloader and I could get my system going again. But the USB ports still do not work...
[FYT Android Head Units] gordgelin:
maybe usb hub is dead (Fe1.1s)
[FYT Android Head Units] sly2:
maybe... I ordered the chip and will try to change it :)
[FYT Android Head Units] Fredday:
Yes @LLIyT_HuK is who I ment, I wanted to type Lly but somehow my phone put a U in between 🤣

Indeed, that's what I ment, it would be nice to have a clean HU but this is my own personal taste..

To be clear: I'm just trying to think outside of the box guys, by no means I'm saying YOU HAVE to do this or even consider it.

I much appreciate your time and efforts.
[FYT Android Head Units] Fredday:
Btw, it does appear on the screenshots you placed as if google maps doesn't act like it's in PiP mode anymore? So it functions just like when you really open the app?
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:

It switches to PIP-mode once you start the navigation.
