You are to be admired! I hope (but I think there are many) that you can find a solution.I use jadx to get the source of java part and that is ok even if it's a bit encrypted.
The problem is that native libraries can be used only by system apps so even if i make a call to load the lib like:
System.loadLibrary("fmjni")
The lib cannot be found by a user app even if it actually exist.
The only way I found until now is to include all the system libs in the APK obtaining like 130mbytes APK file...
Of course that's not the way...
So at the end right now I'm back to school studying some android ndk, cMake, etc... Or at least trying to understand if there is some other way...
You know, I'm 50 this year so I take a bit longer to learn stuff
If I had discovered this forum a few months ago, surely I would have bought a different car stereo model.

Yes of course, easy to update, replace some internal apps, etc......
TS10 firmware ir very hard to handle for that kind of things, and also I found that GPS is less accurate in TS10 than in FYT units !
Oh yes I perfectly agree about TopWay firmwares. They are a pain..

Anyway, using jadx I can see that many parts of system apps code belongs to very old versions of android, in my very own opinion, both platforms aren't pure Android 10 they have old embedded programs.
My dream:
Be able to Reverse Engineering all these apks, modify them and be able to recompile all these stuff

On TS10 like on all TopWay based units is not possible because the firmware cannot receive the RDS iD (pi code/sid number) of the radio station.
Right now only MTC units can do that.
The other brands can assign the logo automatically only by a scraping of the station name.
If only one station is found it's assigned, otherwise is prompted the list of stations with similar names.
You have nothing to do and i cannot do any better.
Your unit doesn't support automatic assign by ID.
Only by name.
Yes 130Mb is no problem. If you have a version that you think works for fyt 7862 I'm willing to pay for a beta version.
I cannot release a 130mb app on PlayStore.
The alternative would be make my app a system app (probably replacing the original one) but then I would have no protection against free sharing it.
I'll see how can handle all this... for sure I'd like to have a new unit on my car too and i really like these fyt uis7862 units so I'm kind of pushed on finding a solution.
Late to this thread, and new to all this. My head unit's (YT9213AJ or 8227L) radio suddenly stopped working (won't open). Was working fine, swiped to close it along with many other open apps, then when tried to open it, toast - could not open app is the same message I get. So, now I'm looking for a replacement. I tried one of the links for this, but it opens with no radio capabilities (just see the interface, can't change to Europe, can't search, etc).
Is there a compatible link for this radio app you guys are chatting about (which looks amazing)? I see you guys are talking about different units, so if it's not YT9213AJ that identifies my unit, any details on where to find what's needed in order to search for a replacement radio app? I

I agree with that, but you can release a smaller (than 130MB) file that checks if required libs are already in place, if not, then download that libs from you GDrive (or another filehoqsting service) the missing files and put them in your /data/data/<yourpackage>/files/ (that the 130MB together)
I'm really struggling trying to understand how the original app work...
As i understand until android 6 it was using a simpler code that talked directly to MCU.
With android 8 they started using native libs like the MTK units, another "syu" lib, the kaolafm support lib, SQL datatbase and they kept the support for all the platforms in just one APK (Sofia, px5, Uis, etc..,).
Of course the latest release are also obfuscated so jadx conversion is bad.
The result is a mix of everything that is really hard to understand and honestly i don't know yet if I'll be able to obtain any results.
I'm trying... But as i said it's very hard...

@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

Hey, I just came across this wonderful app. because I tried to find a solution for my RDS problem on my T10 (6+128) device. The stock radio app has this issue that RDS works only when I "refresh" the frequency of the station (like click +0,05Mhz and then -0,05Mhz). And it works until I turn off my car. After I turn it on again - the RDS is frozen. It doesn't update anymore. I tried contacting support, but they seem to not understand what the issue is and they claim that everything is fine.
At first I thought that installing Navradio+ solved my problem but it didn't. RDS also gets frozen after device goes to sleep. Any idea what's wrong?

---------------------------------- 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.7
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+
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.4
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 job4
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.3
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.
