Based upon reading through the post I'm assuming developer options enable and USB debugging enable to apply the radio add/removal tool I have done this and still does nothing upon inserting the USB ! Ideas suggestions? Iv emailed kotix about compatibility says should work!
 
I've never enabled USB debugging and managed to remove the original radio app no problem.

It should be a FAT32 formatted USB drive with the following on it...

a folder "BACKUP_RADIO_APK"
a folder "lsec_updatesh"
a file "lsec6315update"
a file "lsec6316update"
a file "lsec6521update"

These should not be in any folder but on the root of the drive.

Can you show us a screenshot of how you have the files on the USB drive?
When done correctly it should detect the USB automatically and a pop-up will appear with a start button and a countdown timer.

You have a Topway based TS10 MCU and firmware. That is currently not supported as far as I know. It's completely different from a FYT unit despite the same CPU and audio hardware.
It also means that the flashing process is completely different. This will not work.
Thank you my brain can rest! I had sent these pic to kotix he said would work but I won't waste anymore effort for the time being!

You have a TS10, the script cannot work on your units. I doubt i said the contrary...
You can disable the original radio app in factorysettings/config removing the flag to the radio.

In the settings menu that you posted pictures, go to factory, insert password (123456 i guess)
Then go to "config" and you find the "Radio" to switch off

Hi!
i'm using the app since a few months ago. It works well on my ts10 but i have a strange problem: the app works good for a few days then it starts to became very slow, it won't change station or will do it and after a few second display the change (i hear the radio station changing but the logo remain the same of the previous station.
Hud display won't work, and app will become unresponsive. Reboot, clear cache and app data won't help. The only thing that i can do is unistall the app, reinstall, restore setting. It will work ok for a while and than i will have the same problem
Any suggestion?

Hi, sorry if this has been covered. I couldn't find through thread search.

I'm in the USA. But if I go to Settings->Logos, I am promoted to set my Logo Region.

However, if I tap the button to select Nationality of Logos, the title text says my Radio Region is Central & South America so I can only pick those countries.

Where can I change the region to get USA? I've looked through all the settings but seem to be missing it.

I've been using the app by setting it manually for a while and it's awesome. I'd just love if so could set this bit up.

Thanks!

If you don't see the region option in NavRadio settings, means that you must select it the factory settings of your unit and mostly you don't have a FYT unit but an MTC one.
You probably have it set to South America or america2 or whatever your unit have as options in those settings.

Thanks. Yeah my unit is MTC. That explains it.

Any idea where that might be set? I can't find it anywhere.

Ciao @KoTiX2, da qualche mese uso la tua app e la trovo molto bella, complimenti e grazie per la tua dedizione.

Edit:

Hello @KoTiX2, for a few months I use your app and I find it very beautiful, congratulations and thanks for your dedication.

Edit: excuse me I inadvertently sent the post without having completed it and moreover in Italian

    principiálne prosím, východná Európa nie je Rusko. Nechcem byť spájaný ani v aplikácii. Prepáč :)
    First: it's mandatory to write in English on this forum!

    Second: It doesn't mean that Russia is part of eastern Europe.
    It just mean that you will see a list of countries of eastern Europe and Russia.
    I don't care about any politics, ethics or whatever else stuff.
    They are just world areas and regions for me that's all.

    Yes probably different unit but same result for my problem - still not able to sestup FM1/FM2 (FAV1/FAV2)
    Next release will have FM, FM2, FM3
    There will be probably an option in the settings to enable FM2 and FM3 just like for AM

    Hi All,

    I was trying search in this thread and also outside but without any success so maybe you can help ne and apologies if it was already discussed here. I am just wondering if it is possible to have more bands like FM1 and FM2? Different radios station in different location so would be great to just swap FM1 for one location and FM 2 for other. Or do I miss something from app functionality?

    edit: or how to create FAV List 1 and FAV List 2 and so on?

    Thanks a lot for any advice

    Pavel
    Right now I'm very busy porting the app to another model but when I'll have time I'll try to add FM1, FM2 etc...

    Do not really understand your replay.yes I have purchased paid version as free version worked fine on my units and yes I also checked type of head units. As dar as I understood the difference between free and paid version is to have logo station and some other fine tunes. There is no conment about FM1/ FM2 or FAV1/2 option so really do not understand what I should really check in first post.
    Or maybe I miss something so please …
    Paid or not paid has nothing to do with it.
    Referring to post 1 is because it is very clear from your screenshot that you do not have a FYT. But that reference is not completely correct as you already mentioned that it does work on your non-FYT units.
    But the fact that your unit is not a FYT unit, makes me wonder why you ask in the FYT forum and not in the sub-forum where NavRadio is discussed for your brand/reseller of unit.

    And w.r.t to different radio stations in different locations: Do you mean the same radio station in another location? -> Use RDS.
    Otherwise: Export your preferences for one region and when you go to another region with those other radio stations: create them and export those as well.
    And import the set that you need at that moment in that region.

    SOME TIPS AND GUIDES

    RADIO PROXY
    I slightly modify the surce code of MusicProxy (from Koenig) to create a RadioProxy app that replace the original radio app with a shortcut to NavRadio+ so you won't need to remove the original app with my "remover/Installer" tool.
    If you have already removed the original radio app, please use again my tool to restore it.
    Starting from version 1.2 RadioProxy does much more then being a simple short cut. It's becoming a real companion of navRadio+.
    With version 1.2 RadioProxy now can read the RDS ID of the sinthonized station and broadcast some infos to Navradio+ that will help it with:
    - automatic logo assignement based on the stations id and not only by their names
    - automatic switch of stored Alternative Frequencies
    - automatic seeking of Altenative Frequencies based on id search

    RadioproxyFYT_1.3.apk

    It will run the full or basic version of NavRadio depending of which one you have installed.
    If you have both it will run by default the full version of NavRadio+.
    If you need to run a different app or force the basic version you need to add the config file with specified in it the "PackageName" of the app to run:
    PackageName=com.navimods.radio_free

    The config file must be named RadioProxy.cfg
    and copied in a folder like this:
    /sdcard/RadioProxy/RadioProxy.cfg

    To REMOVE RadioProxy follow these steps:
    Settings - Device - Applications - RadioProxy - Three dots in the upper right corner - Delete updates

    (Thx to koenig for providing the source code of MusicProxy).

    Previous version: RadioProxyFYT_1.1.apk
    RadioproxyFYT_1.2.apk
    ----------------------------------------

    - REMOVE ORIGINAL RADIO APP (OBSOLETE USE RADIOPROXY INSTEAD)-​
    There are some issues due to original radio app coexistance. To avoid these issues the best option is to remove the original radio app from the system using the FYT_Radio_REMOVER/RESTORER tool availabe here:


    Extract the zip file on the root of a FAT32 USB disk so you have:
    a folder "BACKUP_RADIO_APK"
    a folder "lsec_updatesh"
    a file "lsec6315update"
    a file "lsec6316update"
    a file "lsec6521update"

    With unit powered up and android running, insert the USB and when prompted press "START".
    This will reboot the unit and run some shell commands to rename the original radio app from "******_com.syu.radio.apk" into "*******_com.syu.radio.bak" so it will not be found by android.
    You will see some linux commands scrolling and at the end you'll see a green text "update success!Pls remove device". Do it and the unit will reboot to android with radio disabled.
    The script will also make copy of the original radio app on the USB in the folder "BACKUP_RADIO_APK" in case you need it in the future.

    TO RESTORE THE ORIGINAL APP
    Simply insert again the USB with same files in it and let the process run again.

    Essentially everytime the USB stick is inserted, it remove the original app renaming it with .bak extension or if the .bak file exist it restore it back with .apk extension.
    You can use it as many times you want.



    -----------------------------------------------------------------------​

    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)
    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. :)
