dear kotix for your efforts, thanks for the last update and the carousel, it was great, but after doing the frequency scan on FYT devices, the frequency scan warning stays on the screen.

Beautiful looking tuner app. As an experiment I installed it but it does not recognize the tuner. Sadly it does not seem to be compatible with my RL78 android PX6 head unit? I will politely request a version that will work if you get time.

Compatibility depend on MCU more then CPU.
First time I see your MCU and i don't think it will become so popular to motivate me to try to port the app to it.
Sorry i can't help...

This bug is not happening on my unit so when I'll be able to reproduce the problem I'll try to fix.
Anyway all this will happen when I have time for it.
I have a real life too!
Thx for your understanding..

Of course, your priority is your life. Thank you again for your efforts and understanding.

Nice app. Bought it today. A little buggy with the radio logos, but worked after i edited the stations manually.
All i need now is to switch my default radio app to yours.
Keep up the good work!

You can disable the original radio app in factory settings and use the app TWRadioSelect to set NavRadio as the radio app in mode button.
If you want to run NavRadio using the icon of default launcher, then it's not possible because you'd need to modify the launcher or use any other launcher like agama, FCC etc..

Dear @KoTiX2,
i'm about to buy a new head unit for my car. As i already purchased your wonderful app i want to use it also in the future!
That's why I want to make sure, your app will work the hu.
The manufacturer sent me this picture, maybe you can take a look and confirm/deny, if Navradio+ should work on it:

It's a FYT unit so it's perfectly compatible with NavRadio.
I just want to advise you that if you care about AF function, it doesn't work FYT units.
It's badly implemented by the factory and it cannot be fixed by the app.

    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.
