Maybe a little OT, but worth asking. I really like the free version of your app and I was wondering if there was a way to get the paid version outside of Google Play? My car radio is f*cky and refuses to run the play store for more than 2 seconds before crashing/force closing the app.

No, sorry i have no other way to distribute my app keeping it safe from unauthorized sharing.

Hi,
I started working on it but i had to stop because of some big issues with native libraries used by mtk.
I will try more in the next months and i hope to find a solution.
Hi KoTiX2,
I don't want to harry you, just would like to know are there any news? Was the issue solved? Still have chance for supporting the 8227l?
Thanks

I am very happy with this application. I bought the full version and I have one problem.
Sometimes there is no sound when the application wakes up. My thought that sometimes NavRadio is not stopped during sleep and waking up CarLauncher starts it again.
In setting 126 I have the radio turned off, I have this problem on all ROMs. I tried different settings tasks, no change ...
Can you advise? Thank you.

Hi!

I have tried to install the app, but it indicates that the hardware is incompatible. I have a PX5 radio, but it seems to bring a brand new MCU:

MF1-px5_C54_whd01a-aAaAaA_7708_B4_20210310-10: 40

Is there a way to make it work? Are you going to update the app for this type of MCU?

Thanks

I've been looking for an app for my Topway TS8 for a while. I will give it a try tomorrow. Hope it works (Don't see TS8 in the supported device list)
I've installed the free version to test. It seems that the app doesn't work with mine. Hope you will have the Topway TS8 (based on SP9832A) compatible soon

You can disable default radio in factory settings but on some unit that function disable completely the radio chip
You have to try by yourself.
To replace completely the original app you need a modified firmware. It cannot be done by NavRadio

    Hola KoTiX2 Thank you for your work. On my device the app appears as not compatible. Is there a possibility that in the future it could be used to buy the app? Thank you

    I have a Topway TS10 device and I am a Navradio+ user. Manual scanning has more stations than automatic scanning.
    Is it possible to adjust the frequency sensitivity for automatic scanning?

    A FREE VERSION FOR XDA USERS IS AVAILABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THE XDA RULES AND TO LET USERS TEST THE COMPATIBILITY BEFORE BUYING IT.
    YOU CAN FIND IT HERE:
    V3.21 DROPBOX LINK
    or

    The app is now available on playstore:
    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.navimods.radio
    or on the Huawei Appgallery at this link:
    https://appgallery.huawei.com/app/C107643913

    ---------------------------------- SOME TIPS ---------------------------------------------
    TOGGLE SCREEN NORMAL/FULL:
    - Double Click on the station information toggle fullscreen on/off.

    NORMAL SCREEN:
    - Long press on the station information popup the "ADD Station" dialog window if the station is not in your station list. If it's already in your list, it will focus the relative station button.
    - Long press on a station button bring up the "EDIT Station" dialog window
    - Single press on screen arrows <> does a small frequency step fwd/back
    - Long Press on screen arrows does a quick search fwd/back

    FULLSCREEN MODE:
    - A Single press of the arrows <> switch to next/previous station
    -A Long press on station information(center of the screen) bring up the "EDIT Station" dialog window.
    - In interface settings you can remove the big frequency in background if a logo is available.
    - In settings you can hide status bar, activate the clock and a speed gauge

    STEERING WHEELS CONTROLS:
    - The steering wheels commands act exactly in the same way as the fullscreen arrows, they just need to be setup in the correct way in carsettings application.

    FAVORITE LIST:
    - The FAV list is the result of merging FM and AM favorites, so you can have both frequencies in the same list.
    - FAV stations can be edited within the fav list but cannot be added. You need to be on fm or am list to add a station and set it to favs.
    - Deleting the FAV list will just remove the fav flag from the fm/am stations but will not delete them.
    - Deleting AM/FM list it will delete the FAV list too.

    LOGOS:
    - you can use your own station logos, you just need to know where you have them stored and browse for them when editing a station.
    - To get the stations Logos from the app you have to set the nationality of the logos in the interface menu, download and extract them.
    Once they are extracted you have to edit each saved station to assign the logo image to it.
    - The automatic assignment of the Logos is based on the RDS id of the radio stations (pi code) and the search of the logo by RDS name.
    The first method (by id) is faster and more precise but it needs that the name of the logo contain the picode of the station and for this purpose i renamed them for some of the available countries. Of course i cannot make them all and the functionality of this method depend of the availability of correctly named logo images for your country.
    The second method (by name) is less accurate and it work comparing the RDS name with all available logos. If the rsult of the comparison is 100% correct the logo is autoamatically assigned. If the result are more then one logo, a dialog window popup asking you to choose it.
    For USA and Canada the assignment of the logo is is done by searching the frequency of the station in the logo file name.

    AF (Alternative Frequencies) handling: (Doubleclick to switch between stored AF)
    The RDS AF function allow the radio tuner to tune in to an alternative frequency when the signal becomes too weak.
    On normal car stereos this function use 2 PLL receivers to hold the old frequency until a new one is found y the second PLL.
    On all Chinese units it's used just one PLL and the function is controlled by MCU and radio chip it self. So when a station become too weak you will notice a frequency scan that will look for another frequency with same station RDS ID code. The scan quality depend on many factors and none of the Chinese units have implemented this function correctly.
    Only the MTC device handle it a bit better than others.
    On FYT units the AF functions is totally wrong and should turned off.
    NavRadio can only switch AF "ON" or "OFF", It cannot improve this function because, as i said,it's handled by MCU.
    Anyway NavRadio can help a bit the users storing the Alternative Frequencies manually: dragging the frequency from middle of the screen and dropping it on to a station button.
    You can save up to 9 alternative frequencies and they can ve selected in the EDIT window or switch between them double clicking on the station button or sliding up/down in the middle of the screen.

    NOTES:
    I'm the only developer of the app and I work on it every single day for some hours a day.
    I try my best to develope the app at best of my possibilities and I wish at evey release that it is bug and crash free.
    This is very hard to achieve, even if I have some very good friends that help me testing it.
    I'm really thankful to them for their help and support.

    Thank everybody who beleive in my work and thanks for understanding. :)

    @KoTiX2 you have an excellent product for the Topway based platform, do not explode your mind trying to port the app to FYT (I'm talking against my own ideas as I have FYT units) keep doit the great job that you do with NavRadio and making happy your customers.

    Anyway many thanks for all the time you spent tryng to find a suitable way to port the app
    I have a little good news:
    Finally I'm now able to set frequency and receive rds infos from my fyt unit and show them in NavRadio+ :D
    I found also a small trick to avoid having all native libs included in the app.
    There is still a lot of job to do but I'm pretty happy that something is finally moving in this unit. :D

    hello, do you have any news?
    The only news is that I now have an 8227L unit and a px5 s32f0 one.
    I'm working on it but it's not an easy job

    @KoTiX2 Do you plan to support UIS8581A?
    Right now i have no plans..
    I will try to add support only to new and very diffuse units.
    I say "TRY" because it's not ensured that i'll be able to do it.
    MTK units for example are a pain in the a** for me because of their use of native libraries that work only on system apps.

    Is it possible to build support in for the FYT Intel Airmont SC9853i units eventually?
    Maybe in a future, right now only TopWay based units with sc9853i are supported.
    I will make a poll of which unit to support next as I need to buy one of these units to start developing sw for it.
