Hi surfer63.

On the second point, if I understand you correctly, you said there's a workaround to not run Google Maps in PIP-mode in the launcher PIP window. Can we just disable GMaps "Allow Picture in picture" in Settings so that it will be forced to run in full screen mode but inside the PIP window?
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
No, that will not work.

When I used Launcher34 with the frontapp, I had OsmAnd as primary app which is running just fine in 3D mode.

I start Google Maps from a button in the bottom row, so that it starts full screen and fully-functional (meining that the launcher is now in the background). I then plan and start my route.

I go back to the home screen and with the front app I selected google Maps as 2nd (or 3rd or 4th) app. When started in full screen it will also run fully functional in the PIP window once "pushed" there, but never when started from the PIP-window. You really have to close GMaps then from the notification bar.

I consider this too much hassle, so I switched back to Nova with the split-screen-launcher apk.
[FYT Android Head Units] spectra9:
Thanks for the thorough explanation. That does sound a bit too much for just starting a map, while the main point of having a map in the launcher in the first place is to have it ready the moment we start the car. I wonder though, does it survive deep sleep once you perform this "ritual"? If it does, then It might be bearable to have to do this once on cold boot
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
No, it does not survive deep sleep as Google Maps is killed during deep-sleep. It would require nokill for GMaps.
[FYT Android Head Units] spectra9:
Hi surfer, did you happen to have the launcher with similar layout as in this post published somewhere? I kinda prefer the 2/3 map, 1/3 the rest proportion better
[FYT Android Head Units] spectra9:
I tried setting it up as you said and I can't even make it work lol. Nvm, it's not worth the effort, cold boot or not
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
"In this post somewhere"? You now expect me to search all posts for what you want? Please you do the work and show what you want and maybe I can help you.
[FYT Android Head Units] spectra9:
I was referring to the launcher image you posted in the message which I quoted above. It's post #220.
[FYT Android Head Units] haixuling:
The modified UI34 is only applicable to 1280 x 720 or 1024 x 600。

Simply changed the icon, with the day and night background, and the night changed to a black background. The background changes with the headlight switch.

You can also modify the background of the night and day by yourself.

Hello, I accidentally uninstalled an app called LauncherBottomMap (I'm not sure if the name is correct) and now the main button of all the launchers is not responding. Could someone upload it? Thank you!

My device is 12.3" FYT 7862s and the launcher is ui37
[FYT Android Head Units] haixuling:
test them
[FYT Android Head Units] danielferrazzz:
It didn't work... thanks for replying.
[FYT Android Head Units] Ashraf MK:
Hi guys..how to download this modded ui34? Thanks
[FYT Android Head Units] jcrew61:
Hello

Call ok.

İnternet and data no.

Help please
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Don't hijack a thread.

Besides: it looks like your unit is not a FYT unit.

If it is a FYT fgo to one of the other threads.
[FYT Android Head Units] rol77:
Hi everyone, this is what I got after various changes, and it is the result I intended to achieve.

I purchased widgetupdater which, together with proxymusic, allows me to view the information of the running player on the right side (you can see dab-z in the attached image). I would like to use the blurred image of the music cover (something like the second attached image) as the background of the music widget, and for a few days I was looking for information on how to apply a blur filter to images, but the various guides I found never reflect the structure of our apk. Does anyone have any idea how I could proceed? Thank you.

Looking for this as well, or something that has Nav and radio in widgets.
[FYT Android Head Units] comiflor:
Willl there ever be a version for the 1920x720 displays?
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
The mods in post #1 were all based on "the first" launcher34.

When the M6 came out, FYT expanded the number of layouts, but still the 1920x720 is noty supported.

Only

layout-1024x600

layout-1280x720

layout-1280x800

layout-1920x1100

layout-2000x1100

layout-2000x1200

If you look at the 13" 1920x720 firmwares, there is no launcher34.

"Will there ever be?" Well, at least not now, but you never know.
[FYT Android Head Units] comiflor:
Thanks for the fast answer. Are there any custom roms or any way to reset it to the "factory settings" for the 1920x720 FYT units? I tried to flash something but I didn't made a backup. :( And now I am stuck on the boot logo. I contacted the vendor but I still have no answer from him.
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
They are pretty easy to recover, but I know absolutely nothing about your unit except it's resolution.

Do you have a make/model you could share? Do you know if it's a 7862 or a 8581a?

I usually advise people to just pick a firmware from the Mekede site that closely matches their unit.

Stick the 6315_1.zip, an AllAppUpdate.bin, config.txt, updatecfg.txt and finally an lsecupdate6315 on to a FAT32 flash drive.

With the radio stuck on the bit logo hold reset down for a few seconds, let it go, wait a couple seconds and hold reset down again, then same again.

After 3 times it should start flashing.

It took me a few tries to get the flash started the 1st time i suffer bricked my unit.
[FYT Android Head Units] comiflor:
The unit is this one.

And attached is the HWgetinfo zip. Do I need to modify anything to the mekede firmware in order to make it work on my head unit?
[FYT Android Head Units] LLIyT_HuK:
This was one of my test mods that never made it to the finals))

It was very annoying that the speed on the speedometer was different from the speed in the navigator, so I gave it up.

Spoiler content hidden.
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
You shouldn't have to no.

Anything that's wrong can be corrected after it's installed.

Your unit is FYT manufacturer id = 1

So if the firmware gives a yellow banner warning it's the wrong id then there's a script to fix that.

If the launchers inside the firmware don't fit your resolution then Mario's excellent FYTFactory site has 16 launchers to choose from for your resolution.

It's also bluetooth type 1.

Just work on getting the unit back working again while you wait for your reseller to respond with the correct firmware,

I would recommend creating a separate thread of your own as it takes this modded launcher 34 thread way off topic.
[FYT Android Head Units] bogdan.rosioru:
how do you get all this info on the top of the screen ?

View attachment 6067378
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Like it says in post #1:

*: Note that I use @LLIyT_HuK's SystemUI (the status bar on top). In all screenshots of the modded launchers you will see that modded SystemUI. It has nothing to do with the Launchers..
[FYT Android Head Units] danilaur:
So if unit it is with fyt=1 id not work and i need to change this id?

I whant to install peaceos with this mod laucher in isudar v72, has anyone tested on this radio?

thank you
[FYT Android Head Units] Matze187:
Thank you very much for your work. The launchers run well on my device with 1920x1200 resolution. But the best is your magisk firmware, my system run so quick now, many problems removed. Feeling is, same I bought a new device.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Thank you, but the 1920x1200 version is only basically my version. @packyman made the version you are now probably using.
[FYT Android Head Units] Matze187:
Yes of course I know that, but the basic is yours. The first thing I did was register and then read everything here in the forum for 10 hours so that I didn't have to ask any questions, since everything is actually explained well here. My next project is the status bar for 1920x1200😁 Thanks again 🙏🏻
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
I made one final version, just for myself and ONLY for 1280x720.

Dark version, other background, no day/night change.

The bottom bar is simply the bottom bar as it was.

The right side is the Ubiquity universal media widget (with bigger buttons). Below the Ubiquity media widget, is the "hotseat" list from recent apps (the bar originally on the left), made horizontally instead of vertically and reduced in size.

Spoiler content hidden.

So far I was using Nova as it still annoys me that the Google app sometimes appears in the widget, whether I fully stop Discovery or not. And I need the Google app for voice assistant.

No support, no changes. This is it. There are by now many other mods, so if you don't like this one you can take @LLIyT_HuK's version (which has the standard radio below the ubiquity widget) or another one.

Is anyone interested or not at all? I can share it.

Edit: I am actually still using Nova most of the time with the split screen launcher.

Edit 2: I attached the installer to post #315.
[FYT Android Head Units] bautrupp:
Sadly I can't get this to work. I have a joying with uis7862(s) and 1024x600.

The launcher installs fine with the installer and works with the front app as it should. But since I don't like the left hot seat I install one of the other apks with only bottom bar after that.

This always ends with a screen with only background and the pip window (which works). But at the bottom is empty space. The 8 dots and the app shortcuts don't show.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
I will not start again, but when I made those mods I also requested users on 1024x600 to test.

As far as I know @old.splatterhand also has a 1024x600 and afaik it worked for him (I do not know if he still uses it).
[FYT Android Head Units] old.splatterhand:
I'm sorry, but my unit has 1280x720, so i can't help here.

My old, outdated pumpkin allwinner unit had 1024x600.
[FYT Android Head Units] ByBossX:
Hello, I think it would be better if the hotseat on the right side is deleted and the radio is slightly minimised and a music player is added there.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Please go ahead. Like said: I will not modify anything anymore.

Edit: I don't use the default radio at all. I use NavRadio which perfectly displays in the Ubiquity widget.

View attachment 6074101

Good job, @surfer63. I think you should place link with launcher here or you will be asked by people one by one in PM. :D
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Some persons have really sharp eyes. :)

I had not spotted it yet, but maybe if the background is changed for a light image it is easily seen.

I did not correct it. I already left this launcher34 mod as well. Stupid Google app always shows up in the widget. Only NavRadio-plus is able to push everything out of the way.

Back to good old Nova.

Anyway: see attached.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Due to the fact that those stupid FYT apps are not built for automatic scaling and have a very crude mechanism to detect when the unit is in split-screen, they only support 50% split-screens. Instead of fluent from 10-90% or so. Therefore FYT also removed/blocked the code for (original android) "com.android.internal.policy.DividerSnapAlgorithm.SnapTarget". They rebuilt "something" in "com.android.systemui.stackdivider.DividerView" only allowing 50/50 split screens.

I tried to modify @LLIyT_HuK's SystemUI to undo FYT's "fixed 50/50" code, but was unsuccessful.

I will try again, but I also mention it here in case that a good programmer (and I am not a good one) can adapt the code to make the stepless variation in the splitscreen window divider posible again.

That was actually the reason I started modding launcher34, but that is not working the way I want due to the Google app.
[FYT Android Head Units] piro.lito:
Hello @surfer63,

hope you are fine.

I want to present you a question for use case that i have in my car and want to develop.

I know a guy that builds interface boards so we can use car knobs to control an android headunit.

Already had that working few years agora with a tablet and a bmw i-drive with agama launcher (worked perfectly).

With this head units i have some doubts that maybe you or someone else can help me to clarify.

Right now i'm running peaceos with your modded launcher34. It seems fine but when i attach a usb keyboard i realise that the Tab indexes of the UI elements don't work as supposed. I will attach a video to explain it better:

View attachment 6083087

As you can see in the video the indexes doesn't follow a correct loop between the UI items.

Do you know it is there anything we can configure to have it working properly ?? Or is this firmware dependent ??

thanks,
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
I really have no idea.

Your indexes do work with "fixed" layout elements.

In the case of the launcher34 (and other modern FYT launchers) you have "recycler views" (left and bottom). These are built up dynamically.

On the left side it consists of the last used indexes which means that you still might have fixed layout elements, simply shifting 4, 3, 2, 1.

The bottom one works differently, You can change item 1, 3, 5, 2, 4, 3 again, 6, etcetera.

I really don't know if indexes do work in this case.
[FYT Android Head Units] gonzo99:
I hope this is an on topic question - I'm currently using the original version of this with left and bottom bar, and it's nearly perfect for me, in conjunction with the FrontApp. TomTom works fairly reliably in the PiP window once I get it started and switch to it from something else with FrontApp.

However, what I'd like is for a "music" widget to show track info from bluetooth streaming.

On my device (Ekiy T7 1280x720 7862 8GB), there is a launcher30 (screenshot attached) and the widget does update with the track details - though only once going to bluetooth screen and back again.... (The artwork doesn't update of course but that's not the end of the world)

However, I don't like the rest of the layout without the PiP - and the other launcher versions don't seem to work, including your latest dark mode one.

I'm no developer, but happy to dabble so wondering what the difference might be so that I can try and create my own perfect layout.

I assume the widget is the ubiquity one in both, but for some reason it works in one and not the other.

Working with bluetooth A2DP info seems to be an issue with all launcher apps I've tried for some reason. Vivid initial install works, but once updated to Scout the widget doesn't show bluetooth as an option.

I've read enough to know that the bluetooth info comes from the MCU, but there clearly *is* a way for it to work, just not with all layouts?

Any advice you can give before I have a try would be gratefully received...

p.s. May be me doing something wrong, but installing your last modded dark mode one doesn't give me what your screenshot shows - it seems more like the 'original' option, with radio underneath the music player, not recent apps bar.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Did your read the "Universal Widgets" thread? https://xdaforums.com/t/universal-music-widgets.4567603/#post-88315481

Hi..I just installed this UI34. Then the pop-up notification “Complete action using Launcher 3” appears. Then I chose the “Always” option. However, this pop-up kept reappearing after pressing ‘Home’.

How to fix it? I’m sorry for the bad picture.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
With regard to the bad picture. See Q26 here.

And you should not use Launcher3 but "modded launcher 34".
[FYT Android Head Units] Ashraf MK:
Then i should choose “modded launcher 34” from the list? But I believe there is no “modded launcher 34” on the list.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Then your install was not correct.

Besides: Only installing the modded launcher 34 does not give this reaction. You will simply get an extra launcher on your system and it will simply stay there and do nothing until you make it the default launcher.
[FYT Android Head Units] mcdermd:
I love this as I only want one app on the home screen (NavRadio+). Unfortunately, the day/night is driving me insane. I have a Mekede M400S branded 8581a. The background constantly fades in/out, switching between the two whenever I am moving. I can't figure what's triggering it.

This remedy has no effect on my issue. I even unplugged the ILL wire from the loom to the CANBUS box and it made no difference.

I know that surfer63 had removed the day/night switching at one time but put it back in. I am thinking I may need to learn about making APKs to remove the day/night switching portion myself :(
[FYT Android Head Units] Ashraf MK:
What is the possibility of incorrect installation? I installed the launcher using TotalCommander. And there are other UI34 installed.

Btw if I rename the file name, it will not get any issues, right?
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Read post #1. It describes how to do a first time install.

You can rename any apk to any name. It is the internal package name that matters.
[FYT Android Head Units] gonzo99:
Just wanted to add to this thread in case it assists others.

I've been trying "Amigo" (TomToms competitor to Waze) and it seems to work perfectly in the window section, with no boot delay or glitches like I've had with every other navigation app I've tried.

Also, once it is set as the chosen app with FrontApp, it has persisted across multiple shutdowns and comes up on restart immediately, so seems like the best fix for this launcher.

It also seems to start in "driving mode" (3d view) on start up which is something I like.

Not sure if it's available for every country, but it's free, so worth a go for anyone else who is looking for a good match for this launcher. It also works with TomToms login, so syncs destinations that are in the TomTom account.

Of course it's using your data, so some may not like it, and it doesn't have the advanced options that TomTom does - but it's a reasonable price for a free app that so far seems to work well.

Hi @surfer63

I have a brand new 13 inch, 1920x1200 7862s MEKEDE M700s 3D (apparently a rebranded M6 Pro 3D). System updated to your optimized kernel, Magisk edition.

I cannot make your launcher appear, no matter what. I tried installer and basically all APKs. It installs OK but it still shows the original launcher 34. I checked the apk under /fem/app, it's the right one. Deleted all occurrences of launcher 34 in /data, in vain. It's always the original launcher34 that shows up.

Waiting for a clean firmware from MEKEDE and will try again.

In the mean time, on the subject of split windows, you may want to take a look at carcar launcher on telegram, had it on my previous unit (K811) and it was working pretty well.

​
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
What makes you say it is a rebranded M6 Pro?

The M700s and M6 Pro have different motherboards and components, pin outs differ slightly.

They are throwing the 3D branding on to the Mx00s range.

Does it have fakra connectors on the rear or not? If yes it's the M6 range. If no it isn't.
[FYT Android Head Units] m00n61:
Standard antenna jack, no fakra. However system info does not look like Mxxs. Also launcxher with carinfo and music proxy not in Mxxs units. It's in the car so I won't be opening it up to look at the MB.
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
In what way does system info not look like Mxxs?

Exact same how I bought an M6 Pro Plus, they now sell it as M6 Plus 3D. Same hardware with 3D firmware

You have an M700s "3D". It's an M700s with 3D firmware.

Unrelated to the M6 range.
[FYT Android Head Units] m00n61:
Thx. Good to know :)
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
inside /fem/app? or under /oem/app?

My installer installs it under /oem/app. That will not work then if it is now /fem/app.

I have seen it but can't find it back. Do you use it and does it allow for 60/40, 70/30 etcetera screen ratios on our FYTs, so other than 50/50? That is the issue, not split screen itself. Or is the launcher with two PIP-windows as that is not what I want and @LLIyT_HuK also made that one already.

The splitscreen has nothing to do with any launcher but with the SystemUI. A launcher cannot overrule that, so I would be very surprised (but happily surprised) if car car launcher can overrule that.
[FYT Android Head Units] m00n61:
Good point. I will look into the script and modify the path.

I am currently using it but I believe it's actually a dual PIP. It allows for resizing of the app windows in increments of 5%. Minimum is 30/70.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
PIP is different from split screen. I might try it, but can't find it back in the Telegram group. Do you have a link?

And does GMaps work full-functional in the PIP window or only in reduced PIP functionality? That was so far the issue with all FYT PIP launchers.

GMaps (as well as any other navigation software, for the matter) is fully functional.

I was surprised to see it installed directly on my unit, looks like there is no signature verification in package manager. In the K4811 I had to use LP to disable signature verification.

As for split screen you were right, I asked MEKEDE and they said it can only be 50/50.

[FYT Android Head Units] jmrego:
That's a good launcher but i can find a way to change the wallpaper. OnlyLeftAppBar is allways changing the wallpaper between a colorful one and a night scape one. The others let change wallpaper but after boot returns to the same colorful one. I like to use dark backgrounds for the obvious reason. Is there any way to fix a wallpaper of my own?
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
No, unless you remove the day/night schedule. The launcher only works with its own wallpapers on day/night shift.

However, if you unzip the apk, replace the wallpapers with your wallpapers, zip it back and install it the same way via an installer, you can do that.

I also made a version without day/night shift, but later reinstalled it. It is somewhere in this thread.
