Hi,
What I found to get the headunit to ignore the SRC input is to modify the Menu Icon (8878) as in the picture. After that, I configure AppSwitcher like in the second picture. Note that I use Key 10 and Key 11 in my case.

Thanks @Jetblack31,
That tip for the SRC Key worked perfectly. However even after trying to set the press log entry (any of those 3 to == 10) Appswitcher still doesn't respond. In which of those 3 options do I need to set it? If tried all of them individually and the last two in combination, but that doesn't fix it either.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Did you grand AppSwitcher with the READ_LOGS permission ?
Did you set AppSwitcherStarter as your preferred NAVI application in the HU system?
Yes to both. Still no change. However if I leave the first box empty and then try to close the app via the back key on the unit itself. The menu opens and I can flip through it using the back button left of the touchscreen. But no response to the SRC button
Yeah, my answer was not verry percise. When I leave the box "On Button Press Log Entry" empty and then press the back key on the side of the screen the AppSwitcher Menu appears, and I can see the apps I set in the Settings. Do I need to set more than one key @Jetblack31? because in your case you set short to 11 and long to 10.
Edit: It finally works. After having to use the reset button on the unit due to another issue, I had to reapply all Settings (My Unit tends to forget certain settings after some time) and with Short button press set to 10 and the other two to 9999 it now works flawless
@Jetblack31 Thanks for the help, much appreciated

From my experience, you can set only the "short press" and it works.
Have you allowed AppSwitcher to be front of other apps ? See one of my previous post.

Hi, I'm new to the thread. I have installed the application, I have a car with canbus. I have managed to get the appshitcher menu to come out but the swc button continues to do the original function. That is to say, it does both functions, when I press swc it does the original function but the appswitcher is opened. Any idea how to override the main function?. My unit is junsun v1 (8227L)
No, I have not done that, because I understand that if I do that, the apps that I remove from that menu will not appear in the main menu, is that right? Another point is that in the app selection I don't get the native radio app. My launcher is agama car launcher
If I am informed correctly you can install laucher APKS for a different lauchner here in the fourm. It should work with that. At least it works with mine that way (But I use Car Launcher Pro).

Junsun V1 - start equalizer/AUX/BT music/... from launcher
The app equalizer.apk starts the equalizer (activity com.ts.main.Media.ADASMainActivity): EqualizerShell.apk starts the equalizer (activity com.ts.MainUI/com.ts.set.dsp.SetDspMainActivity) via su shell command. See post below for further...

tested like this if it works, but the apps of the link do not work for me it is installed but it does not do the function for example the fm radio one opens but it does not search for any station. I imagine it will be because of the chip, mine is the 8227L
I have tried to search for the apk by the root of the system but I can't find it. I imagine a breakdown of an apk that contains everything would be done. It seems that this pack only works for v1 pro
I’m running the app on a Teyes CC3 with a canbus converter for my Honda CRV swc. I’m trying to figure out witch key code is assigned internally to the “source” button on the steering wheel. Using Logcat Reader and filtering by “MainUI”, nothing shows up for any of the buttons in the log. Might I need a different filter to find these button presses?
What is Logical? Do you mean Logcat? I did grant Logcat permissions upon first launch. The CC3 HU is rooted. The logs are beings generated, but when apply the filter "MainUI" under Tag, and then press swc buttons, the log screen remains blank.
Here is a demo:

In don't think that Teyes devices using the same main application as Junsun devices. In this case it doesn't make sense to filter for MainUI.What is Logical? Do you mean Logcat?

1Added version 2.6.14alpha which is the most stable version so far.
Thanks to @Jetblack31 for his testing engagement
Even the version is not final, I removed all previous versions on first post because they may lead to a bootloop on 8667 devices.
As always: please provide your feedback. Not only but also in case of issues. Friendy user feedback is my motivation to continue this project... -

You could restrict the logs via the filter function inside the ... menu.
After that you can filter on the main screen for keywords come into your mind. E.g. key, button,...
Are you using a can box?1Hi Torsten,
before I was with version 2.1.
Ok, so I'll log the "fatal" messages and keep you informed.
Thank you very much,
Bernard1
Because in the Junsun you just can remap the button if you don't use canbus and SWC is connected as resistance matrix to the head unit directly. The translation of can bus signal is hard coded.1
Bernard, I attached version 2.6.2alpha to first post. It will check if required permissions are granted and can try to authorize itself during service start (first option in settings). I hope this will simplify installation procedure for you. -

Please note: This app is developed and tested only on Junsun V1 Pro with MTK8257/MTK8259 AND 8667 CPU. You can test on other devices at your own risk if you are familiar with firmware flashing.

- reactivate accessibility service of Automate and start initial Automate Flow
- enable/disable DuraSpeed
- change system property to make Android status bar visible (work as on other Android devices)

- Supports Mtk8257 and 8667 devices. Thank you @Jetblack31 for your testing engagement on 8667.
Open:
- May not work on devices with canbus.
Testers are welcome! I need YOUR help to make it work on head units connected to canbus.
Please install both apps because 'AppSwitcher Starter' is just used to start the App Switcher Service. Find installation instruction in 3rd post.
FAQ
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...sun-and-similar-devices.4435555/post-868255552FAQ
Why is the starter a separate apk?
Junsun head units check if the navigation app package is already in foreground. If that's the case home screen gets displayed. If we set 'AppSwitcher' as navigation app it would not stay in foreground. Here the relevant coding of MainUI:
Why is my screen flickering while I switch trought the list of apps with the steering wheel button?
The head unit starts the navigation app via the activity com.ts.main.navi.NaviMainActivity which is part of MainUI (package com.ts.MainUI). It will become the foreground activity for a short amount of time, invisible because a transparent theme is used. Unfortunately the screen is flickering during this procedure.
You can enable the setting "disable navi start activity" in 'AppSwitcher' to avoid this. Please note the activity will be only disabled as long as the dialog of 'AppSwitcher' is active.
What is DuraSpeed?
DuraSpeed is a proprietary tool from MediaTek restricting and closing(!) background apps and services to free memory and so to make it available for starting apps.
AppSwitcher can set the properties to turn DuraSpeed off in case you're struggling with closed services / apps and want to give back control to Android.
AppSwitcher dialog isn't shown
On some head units you have to provide permissions manually. According to my experience on a Junsun V1 pro (with MTK8259/MTK8257 CPU) the authorizations granted automatically.
1. Check if AppSwitcher has permission to appear on top of other apps. You can provide the authorization in "application settings".
2. On some head units AppSwitcher doesn't get authorization to read the Android log. In this case you have to grant authorization via ADB:
Code:adb shell pm grant com.thf.AppSwitcher android.permission.READ_LOGS
How display dimming works
Screen dimming is realized by "painting" a semi-transparent overlay on top of the screen because we don't have the possibility to access display brightness on system level.
Some apps don't like to get overlayed and so Google PlayStore shows a warning message. AppSwitcher is pausing the overlay if Google PlayStore is the app in foreground.
If you're using an app which doesn't work well whiles it's overlayed, let me know.
