Another thing ... why this default music app is displayed sometimes when starting the car (from sleep mode)?View attachment 5495275

Additionally....since the last update steering wheel.buttons do not work for seeking radio stations, but do work for music
Hi ikerg,

For auto start default music app, are you using default music app last time you turn off car? system behavior is open the last opened audio or video app when start the engine.

for steering wheel, all test is ok on our side. Are you add only one favorite in radio? steering radio behavior is only switch between your favorite radios if any, not seeking or next always.

@vivid_1, I have a few suggestions. There are some bugs that could be fixed. I attached 2 pictures of the home screen.
1. Navigation widget sometimes appears over the map even if the navigation is not running. It is then only black empty rectangle.
2. Weather widget sometimes disappears.
3. On the home screen when is playing radio there is twice shown frequency and no information about the station. There is the same when adding radio station to favourites.
4. The buttons below the media widget are showing the local music and radio. There could be also a button for the Spotify.
5. When using navigation widget after 10 to 20 minutes the system becomes frozen and must be restarted.

I am thinking to try the rom but could you tell me if the google assistant is included? I launch it from the steering wheel and use it for calls and to run navigation as I prefer this solution whilst driving instead of playing with the tablet what can distract.

Hi urgo2x, thanks for feedback. You are using latest launcher version are you?
1, 2, 5 seem bug, we'll look into that.
3, you mean there used to have radio station name but sometime lost?
4. already in the plan for a media source change in the future.

As for the ROM and google assistant, vivid google assistant support is under developing, so No for now.
Are u using stock ROM now? it naturally support steering wheel and google assistant?

@vivid_1, I don't use a stock rom. I installed your launcher over the Malaysk rom.
Till yesterday I used the latest version. Today there was an update and I haven't possibility to use it yet.
Regarding to the radio stations, the name is visible only on the radio screen for currently playing station. It is never visible on the favourite radio stations shortcuts and never visible on the home screen widget - there is shown frequency twice all the time.

It appears that the vivid launcher is taking over the Bluetooth in some way and randomly changing the pin code on each reboot. I've worked very hard to get the OBDlink mx+ working on my px6 Dasaita unit and it works but upon each reboot the pin on the head unit changes and I have to change it back before it will connect again even though it's still claiming to be paired. Is there any way to prevent this from happening or maybe this could be added as a option in the future?

Regarding the number 4.... I suggest to be three selectable items:
  1. Radio
  2. Local media
  3. A dynamic option that register the last external media player used (could be any streaming app or any other media player). The name of the app should be changed according to the registered last media app played. In case the dynamic option couldn't be an easy implementation it could be an app that could be defined in vivid settings

Rds is working on the last version, ar least the station name appears...but on the recent/favorite screen it never displayed the name....

I suggest the following:
On the tunning screen:
  1. one text line for the frequency.
  2. Next line for an user name....but Make the name field size bigger (now is too small).
  3. A third line could be for the rds data.
Take in mind that rds data is not necessarily the name station....some stations update the rds data to show the current playing song.

On the favorite/recent screen:

long pressing the icon it could be edited the station properties:
  • Name station. If rds data it could be overriden by the user name
  • Icon. You should be able to assign a local image for the logo station

    Hi! I would like to suggest creating some one theme. Something like this. In my opinion the original theme has too much unused space on the players side. It would be great if the developers added this theme. Even better that there would be some kind of themes constructor.
