The radio app is perfect for mine px5, but how can i replace the original radio app for this one so that i can use the "radio button" of the head unit.
[Dev] New "NavRadio+" ported to MTC devices
- Thread starter KoTiX2
- Start date
Do i need to change the rom before i install it on the px5? Or do you mean: Install a custom rom and from there you can select the radio app at you're own choice.
Hi KoTiX2,
Thanks for the update, the buttons work perfectly now. There is one more issue I should report, though it's rather cosmetic, but I think graphics design is not something you could ignore
It's the font you chose for active station name on the main screen - it contains glyphs for Latin alphabet only. So if I want to give names to stations say in Cyrillic, they are displayed in default Android font, which is not bad, but doesn't shine at all (this is large text in the center, not text on buttons). Maybe there could be some other option for the font, or a possibility to override with the user's one. I don't have a screenshot right now, but think you got it.In the fonts settings menu there is the option to change the font of the "Station Name in grid view".Hi KoTiX2,

Isn't that what you need?
Sure, that's what I need.Hi,
Where is the setting in NavRadio to display logo or a name of radio station on Agama launcher screen while NavRadio is in background? Or maybe a setting in Agama should be ticked? I updated system and unfortunately did not backup, but I remember display ING names of station over launcher previously...

Settings/Notifications/Enabled (I always set like this)
Few additional tech info: Dasaita PX6, canbus, Android 9 21052020, MCU 3.45, Android settings/Car/FactorySettings/Radio/No
I meant in NavRadio settings/notifications there are some options for sending the metadata
Version 2.07 is on the way:
- Added Automatic Dark Theme for MTC android 9
- Some fixes for Dark Theme.
- Some fixes for audio management on Allwinner units
- Added Automatic Dark Theme for MTC android 9
- Some fixes for Dark Theme.
- Some fixes for audio management on Allwinner units
Spanish logos are already available and they have been also corrected by other users.
Please be sure that NavRadio work ok on px3 with android 7 giving a try to the free version first.
Automatic Dark theme works like a charm with Android 9 and the best radio app gets better and better.
One proposal for the future: Now when automatic Dark Mode works can you made options what is changed for dark mode? For example, different background image and different text colors for Dark Mode..? Or own/ different theme when dark mode on (with background image) and other theme when Dark Mode is off?
Like this it would be possible to create different UI with better contrast for bright, direct sunlight environment.
Hi all.
Just installed this app on a PX6 unit with Malaysk ROM.
Did the auto scan but no sound at all.
When opening the app, it immediatelly goes to background, and some radio station is audible.
But when opening again the APP to check other radio stations, no sound at all, in any of them.
The normal radio APP works great.
Any advices?

I'm sorry but There will be no possibilities for your model.
I'm working on the newer k4811 instead...1
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.1Wow, 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!1
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. -
23After releasing my NavRadio+ for Allwinner and IntelSc9853 devices in december, i finally ported it successfully to MTC/HCT based devices (PX3, PX5. PX6, PX30, Snapdragon655).
I paste here the first post of my other thread as a presentation of my work:

With full support for all MTC devices.14SOME 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.8Some more news for this week (the image should be self explanatory):
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.8I uploaded on YouTube a small video showing the new upcoming Drag&Drop + Swipe feauters of NavRadio+
It's a demostration of the new new drag & drop and swipe features of NavRadio+, now you can
- Easily Change order of the memorized stations.
- Delete a station with swipe gesture.
- Add an Alternative Frequency to a station by dragging.
VIDEO HERE
Suggestions and comments are wellcome8
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.
