Fcc Car Launcher has 2 options to backup and restore: Local and in Google Drive. There is no option to store on Dropbox.
My app is car launcher pro.
But now that I'm looking further I see that this is apparently not the same as fcc car launcher. (I think so anyway)
My apologies for this mistake
And thank you very much for your help
I have also sent them a message through the app but have not received a reply
But keep looking
In this case... you need to go to this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/car-launcher-pro.3295086/
You are completely wrong here.
I have another question 
Why in split window mode I don't have the google map app? Even though I have google Maps opened at the front, but when I click the back app list button it would "merge" into Fcc launcher? I would like to have Fcc launcher on screen left, and google map navigating on the right side of screen.

@squarefw I have exactly the same thing presently. Plus in order to go from PowerAmp to NavRadio via the Music widget I have to press either source button several times, else it just jumps back to the previous app. So for example if running PA called Music on the widget and wish to use NavRadio, called umm, Radio on the widget, I need to tap Radio at least four times. If I don't the radio will pay for about 2 seconds then PA will continue. This is not new for mew but more regular with 5.2.
I am using FCC car launcher for some time, and after lots of experimenting I managed to make it work sufficiently well with my unknown brand chinese Android 10 (fake 11) headunit. Great piece of software overall.. I still have few issues that If somebody knows some solution or advice for them I would be grateful
1. I use foobar2000 as audio-player (it is lightweight and more importantly supports Replay Gain, and also has the ability to scan files for RG). It successfully launches itself when the unit comes back from sleep (no option for complete power-off in the Factory Settings, or at least I did not find one). I opted for the option to open the player briefly in fullscreen, becouse otherwise automatically starting the playback bugs sometimes. So The player opens and playback starts automatically upon player open. However some seconds later (between 5 and 10) the playback is being paused, then played again and then paused again.. Sometimes it just plays other times it stays paused. I am not sure why is this behavior.. Is it the FCC sends something like 'toggle playback' command to the player after a certain amount of time without knowing it is already playing back. If so is there a possibility to turn this off without having to turn off 'launch last player on boot' option ?
2. The music player widget some times lose the Track/Artist information. 'Restore Widget' option work only for the Widgets on the 'Main' screen. Secondary screens remain bugged and it doesn't fix even if I delete and create the widget anew. Did anyone encounter this and has a solution for it ?
3. It would be good if the compass widget had the possibility to just compactly show current bearing with numbers and letters instead of a big compass.
4. Clock widget date/day of week text loses its font size settings after I restore a backup of the layout.

Hello.
I am a new premium user.
My drive is UIS7862 (TS10) 4+64gb.
I don't know what type of device to configure. With Rockchip it works, but fails:
I can't find help.
What would be the correct configuration?
Thank you so much

Most of the Rockchip devices, and actually most of the Android headunits in general have a separate microcontroller unit (MCU) that acts as a bridge between the device hardware and Android and most of them have their volume control commpletely separated from the Android media volume control, so there is no way to control it with custom software, unless that software somehow is able to manage the MCU. So it won't work with FCC car launcher, nor with AGAMA or any other of the popular launchers out there.
As for the OBD2 widget I think you need an OBD2 bluetooth device on the car diagnostic port, paired with your headunit in order to get this to work. Never tried it, but that is my guess.
A2DP control is integrated with your device bluetooth app which is also outside the control of the launcher. Bluetooth apps are kind of deeply integrated into the unit and cannot be replaced unless you have some custom firmware. Most of the time they suck, but you are kind of stuck with them.
Good morning. First at all MAX KUDOS to the developer. Great work. Supporter here (Premium & review on google play). You deserve 5 starts.
I want to get a skin as identical to android auto coolwalk (google it) as possible. I think I'm close, but failing at some points.
1) is it possible to force the widgets (not the widgets included in FCC, but the widget from other apps) to have round corners? Like I can set this up on the map?
2) as you provide different skins, can I help you to create a skin - android auto coolwalk - programmatically (developer and hobby webdesigner here) so it can be used by others too? would this be OK to you?
3) One thing that drives me crazy and you can fix it probably very fast. On your music widget with full size album cover in the background I can put overlays on the album (60% shadow) to better see the controls and texts. But on the left and the right of the album cover there remains 1-2 mm unshadowed cover and this drives me crazy (yes I know, I'm perfectionist).

I was wondering if it is possible to change the accent color somewhere (in a config file)? I have been googling and searching this topic, I see that someone else asked about it, but unfortunately no answer:
So.. after a several months of usage of FCC car launcher I will recap my experience and post a few issues I have with it, one of which, quite annoying and I hope it gets fixed at some point.
First things, first.. Great job for this versatile and highly customizable launcher. Thanks for the great effort in creating it. I understand that high customization, of a software that runs on who-knows-what hardware, especially with all the china-made headunits most of us have, leads to lots of potential for issues.
So I am running some China no-name PX5 Android 10 headunit. FCC works flawlessly for the most part except for the following issues I have (in order of annoyance)
1. After device soft reboot (or normal system start for that matter, when device boots "from scratch" and not just waking from sleep), soon after everything is started and music starts playing, the Music Player widgets lose their information. Artist/Track widget displays just '-', cover art starts to randomly disappear and appear, and this cannot be fixed by 'Restore Widgets'. The only way to fix it is to restore all from a backup. I use currently Musicolet player, but the behavior is the same with using Foobar 2000 for android and PowerAmp
2.If I use the clock widget to display an analog clock, when I try to edit any of the widgets, the clock disappears, showing only its arms. The only way to fix it is to edit the widget and change the type of analog clock to some other, and then change it back.
3. Sort of related to the first issue.. When I restore settings from backup, soon after that the secondary text of the date/time widget (the date/day of week text) loses its font size settings and resets to its initial one, and I need to fix it manually
So far these are the things that spoil my otherwise great experience with the launcher. If somebody knows a fix or workaround for some of these issues, it will be highly appreciated.

56Hi, all!
Welcome to the official thread for FCC Car Launcher - a customizable auto launcher for android head units (Rockchip MTCB/MTCD+ and FlyAudio) as well as android smartphones/tablets.
Its major features:
- Full function launcher with supports of all standard third party android widgets
- Deep integration with head units (MCU etc). My mission here is to implement as many functions in the launcher itself as possible. In case of Rockchip devices to get rid of most xposed modules (my deep respect to their authors, great job, but they sometimes slow down the device significantly) and replace them with the normal built-in functions.
- Customization. The FCC Cat Launcher has some built-in customizable widgets which can help to make your home screen more personal (you can adjust widgets size, colors, features etc).
- Built-in music widget with support of FM Radio (with ability to give names to radio stations), Spotify, Google Music, PowerAmp, PC Radio, Neutron and Stellio players.
- One-click navigation widgets with quick route building (supports Waze, Google Maps, Yandex Navigator and other navigation apps).
- Phone calls via connected phone using 'Ok Google call [name]' request or by clicking on built-in Contact widget.
- Other features.
FAQ
1. I love MiniMap but can you put other navigation app there?
Unfortunately this is not possible. MiniMap is part of FCC and is based on Google Maps API for Android. It is not another app (not even a Google Maps app), that can be just replaced within the FCC interface. Android does not allow to integrate third party apps (navigation apps) inside another third party apps (FCC Launcher).
If your head Unit supports Split Screen (ie can display Two apps at the same time), this can be partially done with split screen.
2. Is it possible to cache maps for MiniMap for offline use?
- Yes. In the latest FCC Launcher beta version you can select Offline Mapbox map and download it to your device.
- For Google Maps - No. Caching is directly prohibited by Google license for using Google Maps API (MiniMap). Moreover, Google even does not provide developers with such a caching API. Therefore you will need a constant internet connection to use MiniMap. The somewhat good news is that the map itself does some short-term caching on your device, so it saves some data (but not too much).
3. Notifications are only popping up for a split second / flashing. How to fix this?
That means that animations are disabled on your device.
- Go to the device's Developer settings: FCC settings - System - Advanced - Developer settings (if it asks for code - it's "7890" for AllWinner T8).
- Scroll down and change 3 parameters "Window animation scale", "Transition animation scale" and "Animation duration scale" from "Animation off" to "Animation scale 1x".
4. Routing on Google Maps in MiniMap doesn't work. It asks for API key. What should I do?
- Turn-by-turn navigation in built-in Google Map fragment is directly prohibited by Google. Therefore it is not possible to use it. .However if you have your own Google Developer account (Google Maps API key) you can use it to draw a simple route line on the MiniMap. Please note that it will NOT have any turn-by-turn data like distance to next turn or estimated time of arrival.
I do not recommend to purchase Google Developer account just for this feature:
- Google Developer account will cost money for you (a one-off payment) which is reasonable only if you really want to develop android apps.
- Routing requests cost money. But currently Google provides a 200$ per month free usage for Maps, Routes, and Places every month which should be enough for individual usage.
Links: Get API key, Pricing. Don't forget to enable Maps API and Directions API in your Google Cloud Console.

How the Hell can you say that when @SpeedFire- has dedicated 100's , if not 1000's of hours developing this launcher, and for peanuts !!
I remember a time last year when he was on vacation, and even then, each night he worked on FCC, fixing bugs and greatly improving what was already there.
FCC is probably one of the most COMPLEX apps on Playstore.
My understanding is that he basically developed FCC for HIMSELF, because he was not satisfied with what was currently out there, and was good enough to share his work with anyone wanting to try it.
Because of technical complexities, this launcher is designed and developed for a limited number of Android systems, but that number is increasing all the time as he add new Units to those currently supported.
If you go out and purchase some obscure, budget China unit, that is not supported, you cannot blame anyone but yourself, if then you experience issues.
Just because you paid the developer a few dollars because YOU CHOSE TO DO SO does not mean that you OWN him, and can demand that he jumps at your every call ... it's not his work -- it's his HOBBY -- and you probably knew that going in .. so lighten up and stop giving him such a hard time.
BTW, I am also a developer, and I can tell you, if anyone else got involved in this complex app, it would most likely get totally screwed up, and dye -- that is assuming one could even find someone who would be willing to put in the time for next to nothing, while having the technical ability to actually contribute anything to the project.
Thank you @SpeedFire- for clearly the best Android launcher on the market, and for all your time and dedication in constantly improving it. It is very much appreciated I am sure by the majority of those using it, and you will always have my full support going into the future.10Guys!
It seems that I've found the best solution for Normal / Split-Screen modes. Take a look:
Here is a short demo of two modes in the alpha version:
1) Normal mode - launcher does not support split screen (bad) but behaves as a normal launcher and is not visible in the list of recent apps (good).
2) Split screen mode - launcher supports 50/50 multi window mode (good) but is visible in the list of recent apps (bad).
Every user can select the preferred mode!88New beta is out:
- All skins are re-designed for 6x10 grid (instead of previous 6x7 grid). You need to re-apply skin if you want to switch to a new skin.
- You can choose your favourite skin during first time setup process.
- Time widget has new options to granually change Time and Date font sizes as well as to swap Time and Date positions
- Re-written code for album arts in Player widget. Hopefully this will fix most issues.
- Some other fixes.
- For built-in skins Icons are automatically setup when put on home screen or moved (based on skins' settings for particular Icon slot).
