Fcc Car Launcher [official thread]

[rigattoni]

The spec says it's a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665. @SpeedFire- is there anything I can do to get this working? I am not unfamilier with Software development. In fact i'm a .Net developer.

There are some units in the wild where the brightness is not available through Android. In this case the brightness is just handled by the main board in your unit.
I´m fighting with it also since a 1 year now and even with Tasker there is no way to adapt this by Fcc.
The other units are working fine, which have a different CPU/MCU combination.

You can try the following:
Connect with ADB to your unit and try:

adb shell settings get system screen_brightness

Then try to change the brightness and observe if the brightness changes:

adb shell settings put system screen_brightness 200

Choose something between 1 und 255 and observe that on your unit.

If nothing changes, just try the first command again and you will see that Android "tried" to set the brightness, but it is not set by the main board.

Check with Logcat if you can see the logs if you change the brightness manually. May be one is able to find a way to get this working somehow.

I have the paid version, but the map pointer and the size cannot be changed.

The music graphics for my mp3's won't get displayed. I know they have the graphics as they were displayed using Car Launcher.

The music notification popup doesn't work too. All permissions including "draw over" are enabled for the app.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Really couldn't find any downloads in the thread that worked. Had to go to apkpure.
v3.442 works perfectly fine
v3.515 - same problem - always ask to set default launcher on start
v3.520 - same problem - always ask to set default launcher on start


That's one of the first things I did after resetting the unit - Still no luck on on v3.520 or even v3.515

Same issue on Junsun V1 Pro

Since this morning the MiniMap doesn't show any text labels (street names, POIs etc.) in all zoom levels anymore when using the new Google Maps renderer (the legacy Google Maps renderer is still OK, but I prefer the new one.)

The zoom levels 17 and 16 are fine, but the zoom levels 15 and 14 don't show any text labels. Zoom level 13 is fine again, while zoom level 12 doesn't show any text labels again. I didn't try other zoom levels, since these are the ones that I'm using for the auto-zoom feature.

Can anyone else confirm this for the new Google Maps renderer?

@SpeedFire-: Could you also please check if you can reproduce this issue? Did Google change anything in the new renderer or its API, so you could try to fix this with an update?

Thanks in advance.

I just want to let you know that this issue went away again by now, so I guess that it was just on Google's server side.

The launcher is really good, nearly perfect. Two quick question :
1/ Is there anyway to move/resize the map widget ? I would love a bigger map , position correctly to my liking. If I start with a blank screen , I don't know which widget represent a map like in pre-setup themes.
2/ Can I hide the next / previous button in radio widget ? I only want a Play button nearest to me.

Many thanks

(Yandex Translator). There are a lot of settings. Tap on the map and tap on the gear. You can change the size, display of elements. At the initial setup, choose a skin with a map, then you can remove unnecessary elements and choose an empty or custom skin
The type of buttons in the player widget can be changed to other built-in or your own, sort out the settings

Well, since feb,24th 2022, fcc launcher releases are less frequently published here in xda

(Yandex Translator). I'll tell you this - they are not published at all on 4PDA, I download them from here and place them there

I have the information, that he is quite busy in the moment, no time for the Fcc now.
We all know that business and family are on first position and if time is left, he will work on this app.

Let´s give him his time. Doesn´t make sense to push. He will not leave as alone.

I'm not pushing anyone here, I write only what I can see, of course he can take all the time he needs for the life priorities, that's normal,

How about some 3D style radio icons? I'm fond of it.

Does anybody make it to add a PowerAmp Playlist Widget on a start screen of Fcc and can give me a hint how to get this done?

Everytime I add that Widget it opens the Playlists of PowerAmp so I can select one, but when it returns to the start screen, no symbol or anything is there.

Does anyone know, if there is a chance to get the notification dots or notification numbers working on FCC? My head unit is based on Android 10, so it should be possible and I think I switched all neccessary settings for notifications, notification dots etc. in android general and app-specific settings, but they don't appear.

Is there a FCC-specific setting switch I missed? Do notification dots or -numbers work for one of you?
I mean those dots or numbers displayed at the upper right corner of the app icon, to show missed calls, messages or else.

Continuing with map talk.... Can you have the built in map on more than one page. I would like to try having the map taking up 1/3 screen on homepage and full screen on another page. All I have managed so far is to add the button to get to the map on the first page. Cheers

If you haven't figured that out already, yes you can just add another page with another version of the map. I have it where I have the split as the home screen with a map and then a second full map style on another page.

Speaking of, I am running 2 units so was wondering if anyone would have any insight on what might be good to split them. Had originally planned on running the GPS, air ride, and headlight control on the top. Then just music on the bottom but can't do the air ride or headlight due to headunit constrictions. Just put in a new top unit so that it is bigger so will need to add FCC to it to get back to my older setup. But this is how it looks as it is

These were some of the old configs I would play with

Any input to learn how to properly take advantage of this awesome paid edition would be greatly apprecaited

Did you resize the minimap on your last pic? I didn't know that was possible!

Is anyone here using PowerAmp? For the last few days FCC won't show album cover and title/album. When I switch to radio and back to PowerAmp, it shows the actual cover and song info, but when the next song comes on, album cover stays from the song before and title/album name just disappears.
In the last few weeks I didn't change any settings, but I had to reinstall the PowerAmp full version unlocker one or two days after this bug happened for the first time. Any ideas?

It was actually one of the buildable pages that I used, that is what I am thinking of running on the top as the main screen.
In that last pic the screen up top I have never been able to control the music through and of the iterations I have done with it and it has never shown album art even though I have seen others with it I believe
