[FYT Android Head Units] mjcummins:
I thought I would put this post here so we can all get the Teyes Radio App working. I've seen small sections mentioning this, but I've followed those posts down a black hole.

Let use this thread to sort it out properly, as the documentation clearly isn't available freely (in English anyway).

The Missing Station Icon & Information Issue

First Facts I Know

On the radio app, bottom right hand side is a small cloud icon. This should, if the details for your area are in the Teyes radio database, download 180x180 bmp images, radio station name, your location, and update a file -> /fmbd/fmbd.txt with a numbered list of each station. Excellent video here -> Setting the Teyes CC3 Radio Station Icons

If the above process doesn't work, you are directed to submit the radio stations details, your location, and a 180x180 BMP (Can have transparency) image for the logo. https://teyes.ru/radio/

Once, that information is processed and approved, your Radio Station buttons should work.

But there are suggestions of a manual work around.

Create the fmbd.txt file by yourself using the following format

IMPORTANT:-

Put a vertical bar at the end of each line except the last one, and no spaces before or after commas.

All radio frequencies must be in the format XXX.XX.

(A single or no decimal place will not work)

Also create 180x180 BMP images for each station (Can have transparency) .

Copy fmbd.txt to the Head Unit's /fmbd folder, and overwrite what is there.

Copy each BMP to the same location, with names corresponding to the stations number in fmbd.txt. EG 001.BMP, 002.BMP, etc

Either reset the Head Unit, or close the Radio app via "Settings, Device, Apps", find the Radio app in the list, and Force Close (Top Right)

Once rebooted start the Radio app, and the buttons should populate.

And "How To" use the interface (What are all those options?)

Seek Buttons: Tap to step, hold for auto-seek

Band Selection: Cycle through FM1, FM2, FM3, AM1 and AM2 with each press. Total of 18 FM and 12 AM stations! Amazing

Skip through a sample each Pre-set station.

Receiver Sensitivity - Normal and Local. LOCAL-> When there is interference caused by a intense electric field around the transmitting antenna of the broadcasting station, etc., select this setting

Stereo/Mono switch - Why you would want to make a stereo signal mono seems redundant

Program TYpe - Some stations put a digital encoding on the program type and you can scan for pre-defined program types like rock, news, jazz, etc.

Traffic Announcement - refers to the broadcasting of a specific type of traffic report on the Radio Data System

Alternative Frequency - When AF function is ON, the unit automatically switches to the frequency where the reception status of the station you are currently listening to becomes the best

Settings - Obvious (I should go through there later and work out how it all operates right?)

Cloud Services - For downloading pretty icons and information for your channels

.

In Conclusion

Well, it is an amazing sounding radio system, and works really smoothly.

Hopefully the issue of having pretty buttons sorts itself out. But I believe users are going to have to help out T'eyes with completing their Cloud database.

Just wondering if people want a guide to creating the icons made. Let me know.

This has taken a while, so if you find this useful please "like", or "Angry Face Emoji" and let me know if there are edits to be made in the above waffle

THANKS!!!

Robbo69 for pointing out that the fmbd.txt file had to have vertical bars at the end of every line except the last one

thesuffering for correcting the BMP size from 150x150 to 180x180
