Yes, I know but the system launcher should not step in there and mess around.

ok i removed car map launcher . to see if tomorrow will be prompted to choose a launcher
So have you be prompted yesterday to choose a launcher?
I have deleted all launchers and left only fcc launcher and default launcher. but still get the notification to choose launcher . If I used version 3.442 before, I wouldn't have it
If your unit is rooted and you got Titanium Backup installed, you could freeze the OEM launcher, so that Fcc is the one and only launcher available for Android. Might help... but I think @SpeedFire- needs to look at it.
Help would be to provide exact data from your unit, like MCU and Firmware version, CPU...
All available via the settings menu.
If your unit is rooted, please also provide log files via Logcat.
I am not very familiar with this matter. The android screen I use is Android 10 and just bought it, so I'm not familiar with . that's I try to press the launcher every time I start the car and i will wait for the next version
As long as this is not reproducible on SpeeFire-´s side and he does not have any idea why this happens with the current version, but not with the 3.442... difficult I would say.
Nevertheless...
Settings menu and there "About tablet" should show the needed information about your unit.
That is for sure highly important. Take a picture (or pictures) and show us the content of this menu page.
is it this one . I'm not very good at it

Okay, no problem.
Contains all needed information so far.
First of all, I would recommend to ask Winca or the seller for updates for your unit.
The UIS7862 is normally updated every now and then.
Even the firmware could have some update available.
Regarding your UIS7862:
I need to ask which device you selected during setup.
(You see my setting, this will not work on your unit)
There are some guys in this thread, who own a similar unit regarding the CPU type UIS9853.
May be they can give some tips. @mariodantas I remember that you own such a unit... Do I remember correctly?

In my place, they only sell products and install, but do not know how to update the firmware. and like your picture I choose “ android phone and tablet”
Is it possible to integrate Listen Audiobook Player (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.acmeandroid.listen) in the Player-Widget? It works at the Moment, but i have to start manually after select the app with the button in widget.
There are controll-codes at: http://goo.gl/GPz8SA

I told you to ask Winca or the seller.
Winca has an own website, a download section and contact possibilities. --> https://wincavn.com/
You also did not answer the question about the device you set on setup Fcc Car Launcher.
Hello,
I'm using FCC car launcher on my new android HU SD665. The HU has an external GSM dongle for a SIM card. In the general status bar an icon shows the current field strength of the LTE signal. However, I hided the status bar in my FCC home screen. Is there a widget like the one for Bluetooth and WiFi showing the LTE signal? Thank you in advance for you kind support.

In his post you quoted he wrote "android phone and tablet".
Okay, I may missed that.
Edit: @sieutathan98 , in your case it´s quite difficult to say which setting would work for you. You could try the others (but not CSN2 and Rockchip as they have a complete different architecture.)
Never seen a head unit as yours before, I really would suggest to first get the system updated as I wrote before.

Thank you for the guide. In my country, 1 head unit is the same but is imported by each company and then pasted with their brand. so you've never seen that.
Still no reason to not get in contact with WINCA. WINCA is marked on the front of the screen, so they know what they have to send to you. Why are you so shy? Tell them that your unit is not running correctly and you expect to get an update for your unit. You have all information they need.
Firmware version and MCU version. You can post them your last 2 screenshots you added here. You have nothing to lose, but everything to win.
New alpha version fcclauncher-3.511_v5.apk
- Workaround for a NavRadio strange behaviour (a bug probably) which interrupted switching to another player.

Hi, no, in the map window/widget you can only use Google maps, Yandex maps or Mapbox.
You can use Wase as a normal app, even make it autostart. -
60Hi, 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.

Translation to your language
Guys, many of you suggested your help with translation of the app to your native languages.
I have setup a translation project on OneSky site.
Here is the link: HELP TRANSLATE FCC CAR LAUNCHER
Links:
Release channel: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.speedfire.flycontrolcenter
Beta channel: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/ru.speedfire.flycontrolcenter
(I would suggest to stick with the release channel since beta channel can be really buggy sometimes and is intended for beta testers only)
As a developer I will be happy to discuss with you any ideas or issues.
Here is a couple of tutorials:
1) Quick look on home screen setup process:

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!9Hi all!
There were some questions in the meantime. Sorry for not answering them.
The main answer is: Yes, the project is on hold for now, as I'm involved into other projects.
However it may be resumed in the future when I have more free time.
I hope that it is quite usable in the form it is now in Play Store and everyone can use it successfully as is. I use it myself in my car every day
Best regards!8New 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).
