So which version are you using now?
If you have those images as logos, you have a very old version and you need to update it from PlayStore, delete all the logos you have and download them again.
Please post a picture of the screen settings/about NavRadio and tell me which country are you from so i can understand what is going on.

Thx.

Update frombplayvstore is free ???
Oh I see...
You are using an hacked version of my app then...
I never released outside of Google PlayStore a version of NavRadio that can show the radio stations logos.
On PlayStore you can find the NavRadio basic version that is free and the full version that it's not.
If you want to see the station logos you have to support my work and buy it.
Respect my hard work and don't say that it's just an earning method!

Hey guys!
I bought a TS 10 head unit recently and I'm learning about it, I would like to know how to set NavRadio+ as the default radio application.

I didn't find this option in the head unit settings, can someone help me with this?

My headunit is a Youmecity TS10, exactly this one.

Thanks in advance!

I think I found the solution here.

By the way, is there a way to disable the original radio application? I don't want to disable it in factory settings, just hide the original radio app to avoid confusion.

Congratulations to the developer for the excellent work with the application, I'm still testing it, but so far I really like it.

Edit
The solution found here solves most of the situation, making the "MODE" button on the steering wheel open NavRadio+ when the "Radio" option is selected, but apparently it is still not the default radio application, because when I click to open the radio in the launcher home screen the original radio application opens.

Is there a way around this?

No. You need to modify the launcher code (decompile/recompile) and replace the original radio app link with NavRadio.
All Chinese launchers have the original radio app hardcoded in it and cannot be changed.

I realized that this is not a big problem, since there are few themes that have this non-customizable radio button. As I mentioned, I'm still learning about the head unit and how Launchers work.

I'm going to install Vivid Launcher to test it out, it looks really nice.

Thanks a lot for the help!

Hey @KoTiX2,
Today I took some time to customize my interface and test the app better and I noticed that it can't come back to the foreground using the steering wheel's MODE button if it's already open.

If the app is not already open, it responds to the MODE button on the steering wheel, but if it is already open and the radio option is selected, it does not come back to the foreground.

I tested it with the GPS navigator APP (Waze) and the Music APP (GoneMad) and they come back to the foreground without any problems.

Can you check it out please?

Apart from that detail, the app looks perfect.

    of course I'll send it, but I'm just updating about 30 radios of the region I live in in png format on photoshop. how many pixels should be the criterion (size) to make it look organized in the application?
    255*255 max size. It doesn't matter if they are squared or not.
    Please don't add any background, leave them originals.
    Thx.

    I worked on the logos with png extension. i improved the ones with low resolution. i removed the backgrounds but added white borders so that they could be seen through the dark coloured mural. as i told you, i only worked on the logos of 32 stations broadcasting in my region and it took a lot of time. i hope you will add the visualizer as soon as possible. at least you can make a special effort and send it to me by e-mail. [email protected] :)
    Please edit your post, remove all those images and make one zip file containing all them.
    Upload it somewhere or send me it by email: kotixworld at gmail.com
    Thx ;)

    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
    4
    @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.
    3
    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.
