I found what was causing you to not show the color chooser menu and the wallpaper. It was the polish translation ;)
Will be fixed in next version.:good:

The logos must be downloaded and extracted first, then You have to edit the stations manually to add logos to each stations, holding your finger on a button.

Nice work! Just bought it and it looks great, have to fiddle around more tomorrow.

Is it possible to use tasker intents to load the saved station jsons? My plan was to save preset stations for the cities i most often visit and then try to automatically load correct presets based on location info & tasker.

Also it would be great if agama launcher would recognize this as music app but i dont know if that development is needed in this app or agama.

I don't know about Tasker, I never have necessity to use it...
Agama need a small addition from me to handle metadata notifications.
Don't worry it will come too ;)

I've been contacted by an xda admin about not following the xda rules with my app.
If I can, in a couple of days I will release a free "basic" version of the app for the xda forum users.
I have 48 hours to make otherwise this thread will be moved in the "payed apps" section of xda.
The "free" version will be very basic, no logos, no personal settings for the interface etc., Anyway it will be useful to debug and fine tune the main radio functions.
I didn't want to spend time on a free version of the app but it seem to be maybe the best option for everybody.

Hi Marco,
I just bought the app and I have a couple of questions.
How can I rearrange the station list? It is at the left at the moment but your screenshot shows it in the center.
Are the station logos supposed to be assigned automatically? (Btw. your Icon list in incomplete, in my case SWR3 and Sunshine live are missing)

It did freeze multiple times, but I guess this is because of the fresh installation.

Hi, Tnx for purchasing it :)
The List view can be changed easily hitting the bottombar button "INTERFACE" and again the"Interface" option.
There you can change the Buttons view from List to Grid and change also the number of rows and columns.

Station logos right now can be assigned only manually editing each station (hold finger on a button) or when you add a station. Of course first you need to Download the Logos packages from the LOGO settings.
Abot the Logos icons being incomplete i just figured out that when uncompressing the 7zip package some of them are being skipped. That will be fixed soon.
About freeze do you mean crash? if so, please report me what were you doing when it crashed.

Let me say that the app is pretty young, specially this version with MTC support and bugs are all around the corners. Please be patience and i'll try to kill them all! :)

And they're a little right. You haven't got it tuned for MCU yet. Many people have problems with the app and you are asking outrageous money for it. The application on px5 drops to statusbar after booting. Although it plays, but the radio itself can not be recalled and repeated messages about closing the application and reporting an error. Nice idea with radio, but don't ask money until it works. and please return my money back. I also wrote to you on google play about this. I will not annoy the application for the 10th attempt after 10km to start the radio ..

It's not true that many people have problems just because you have it.
The other guy who gave 1star on playstore saying that it doesn't work have installed the old version 1.14 that was without MTC support.
We discussed it and fixed the problem privately, now he promised to change his review there.
I own 3 px5 units, many people already have tested and purchased it and the app boot correctly on px5.
Are you sure that you have an MTC device?
If the app don't even start then probably you don't have a compatible device. Please post a picture of your system information screen.
I can refund you the money if you tell me your purchase number without any problem.
You also could asked the refund straight away to google.
Anyway these kind of things should be discussed privately.
I'm here to solve the problems but without any information about the crash I cannot fix them and you are not providing me any information.


Anyway a FREE version of the app is coming soon for xda users, so everybody can test compatibility before purchasing it.

    Hi, I use an Ottocast USB AIO box, the Picasou 2 Pro, this is an app for listening to the radio with all the features I'm looking for. Do you think the developer can work on this device?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    Does this device have a FM radio chip, connected to the original car antenna? This app is for aftermarket Android Head units that replace the original ICE equipment. They universally have a FM chip that is not part of traditional Android; rather controlled by a separate microcontroller and firmware. Real FM radio, nothing to do with the internet. Unless I'm mistaken, apologies if I am, about your device; it is completely outside of the aims of this app. Even if it could access the FM radio, via usb, it would do so in a way that is nothing to do with this app. The developer makes new versions according to the popularity of newer qualifying platforms, I outlined above. I don't imagine it's economically worthwhile to him to develop bespoke versions, at the very low app cost he asks for it.

    Wow, man, I just have to say nice work for replying to all these posts. You are certainly in touch with your users.

    I have a pretty fair number of suggestions or requests, but I'm going to keep it to my main problem for now just to keep things simple. I read through all 100 pages of posts to see if this problem was mentioned, and it wasn't (or I missed it somehow).

    Anyway, I'm having trouble with the drag-and-drop function of my favorites list. I assign all the stations I want as favorites, then I drag and drop them into the order I want (basically, talk stations, then pop stations, then hard rock, etc.). Everything works fine, I can switch between stations like I want and everything stays put. However the radio doesn't save the new dragged-and-dropped configuration. When I turn the car off and come back later, the favorites are still there, but in order of frequency. The app has forgotten all my dragging and dropping.

    "No problem," I thought, "I'll just save the list once I get them in the order I want, then if it forgets I'll just overwrite the list with my saved configuration." But when I do that, it doesn't help, the favorites are still listed in order of frequency.

    So I thought I'd throw yet another problem at you and see what you think. I'm guessing since nobody else is commenting that remembering station order is a problem that it might have something to do with my particular configuration? The only thing I can think of is that I'm one of the few who actually uses AM stations, so when I rearrange the AMs and the FMs together perhaps the app is not able to handle that somehow?

    Anyway, saving favorites order is not working for me. Glad to troubleshoot if you need to try anything. Thanks for the amazing program!

    Thanks for your feedback...I would hope that if the program allows you to rearrange a screen it would always remember the rearrangement, or just not let you rearrange it in the first place. No one would want to rearrange their favorites more than once.

    I would think the most common use case would be people would scan for all the FMs and AMs they can get and leave those bands alone, then pick their favorites, then rearrange them and keep them displayed. While they could rearrange the FMs and AMs, there's not much reason to if they're not stations they listen to much.

    ALSO (very opinionated here!) I like the idea of being able to arrange my AMs amongst my FMs. There's no reason for that not to be allowed, and it makes sense if you categorize your stations.

    Anyway, certainly if you save your configuration in a file it should also remember positioning for each band? Thanks for answering, and I will look forward to the next few updates to see how the new bands function! Thanks for considering my comments!

    I have a good news: i was able to fix the FAV problem of reordering the list after app start.
    I still need to to male some more tests but i beleive that by next weekend i could release the new version.

    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.

    AF (Alternative Frequencies) handling: (Doubleclick to switch between stored AF)
    AF service allows the radio tuner to tune in to an alternative frequency when the signal becomes too weak. The minimum level signal can be set in factory settings (Auto Search Stop) and has been found
    that around 30 db is the best choice.
    To improve even more this service I added an automatic storing of the alternative frequencies so that every time a new frequency is received, it's added in a list.
    After an autoscan some radio stations can be found on different frequencies, NavRadio+ have an option (in Settings/radio) to automatically merge the frequencies in just one button populating the AF list
    The frequencies available in this list can be selected using the station editor or switched one by one DOUBLECLICKING on the station button.

    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. :)

    Some more news for this week (the image should be self explanatory):
    x7TCQF9.png


    Then there some more countries with automatic logos:
    Belgium, Czech rep., France (tnx @Timpuli), Hungary, Croatia
    Italian logos are still worked out and I'm waiting for friends to prepare the German and Spanish logos (they are really too many).
    I'm fixing again Agama metadata for no RDS users and liveRDS.
    Other minor bugs are fixed too.
    Next week i'll concentrate on after sleep resuming and AF alternative frequencies.

    - Easily Change order of the memorized stations.
    - Delete a station with swipe gesture.
    - Add an Alternative Frequency to a station by dragging.

    Then please go ahead and write such app for yourself, if you think that it's so easy and cheap to do.

    There's nothing wrong with asking some money for a good software. Things don't have to be for free and I'm pretty sure that @KoTiX2 so far put more hours of work into this project than it payd back, if you look at it at a monitary basis. There surely also is a lot of enthusiasm in this project.
