You probably have TA enabled.
AF doesn't switch source.
Anyway i made some more progresses and fixed other stuff.
I'll post a new version tomorrow.

The source isn't switched, radio just starts playing and Apple Music in my case still plays.

Hi, I'm trialling this launcher in a vertical mounted YT5760B device in a GM Astra J car. The bottom tool bar chops into the play/pause options. Also am I missing something here...but can't see an option to navigate and find mp3 files in the device memory so still have to use the device's default player. Is that how its meant to be??

I'm wondering the same issue. Is it possible to turn off the air conditioning section of the vehicle's normal launcher? . Air conditioning is not automatic in my car.

How can I open my range rover menu from the vivid launcher?
My stock launcher has a link on the main screen

I’m trying to use Vivid on my new Android head unit (an Anequ for an Alfa MiTo).
As far as I‘ve seen from a quick installation and run the system is not compatible (Bluetooth not recognised, radio not working, …).

These are the photos of the head unit info, any hint on how to use Vivid on it?

Thanks, that works perfectly. However when I try to use Wheelkey Study, I can't change the binding of the radio action to call NavRadio instead of the default radio app.

Is there a way to do that?

First of all it would be always better to disable the default radio app?
Then i need to know what kind of HU you have..

Thanks for the fast reply. It's a Dasaita HA5476 with the Vivid11 ROM.

The default apps appear to be hard-coded into the ROM and the disable option is greyed in the app config screen. They allow you to change the map key binding but all the other ones are locked down.

So I'm just wondering how people create the "hooks" when the default binding is not what they want.

Again, thanks.

The default app can be disabled in factory settings (password is 116).Just switch radio option to off.
I don't know if that will be enough or you need a custom ROM like Hal9k for buttons bindings.

Overall the stock Vivid11 ROM does really well. I just need to change the hooks for radio and audio mode switch. But it doesn't look like anyone has an audio switcher app that actually works without losing track of which app has the audio. Which is why I just want to bind Navradio to a button so I can at least control it that way. Thanks again.

Sorry but I don't understand....
Do you mean that when you switch app it loose the audio focus?
When you start a player or whatever app that has audio it automatically gain the focus and it can loose or duck it depending on which other source you will switch too.
Vivid service control this audio management.

It is a pity that VIVID does not play the video in the right window. Now I do it with another program and it looks cool and does not hurt the eyes full screen. Maybe TEAM VIVID will come up with something so that you can play directly. Best regards.

I'm saying I like NavRadio and want it to be the default radio app but Vivid wants to use it's own radio app inside the launcher. Even if I install a different launcher like Nova I can't disable Vivid unless I force close it every time I reboot my HU.

You need to use this special version of Vivid to run NavRadio:

Launcher-5.10.3466-lcoal-build-vivid-arm64-v8a-release.apk

Are you using it?

Can someone tell me if the latest ROM version has any errors? Especially on the home map, names and logos of radio stations...

thanks

I have the latest one. I don't see any specific changes. It's like the previous version, I think. Every now and then VIVID restarts, but quickly returns to the previous settings. NavRadio works as before. It is a pity that there are no concrete changes. I hope that VIVID will continue to be supported because it is a nice project

I am in an old version because an update did not save the names of the stations and the logo of the station. But I suppose that later there have been several more versions...

thanks

Vivid pushed out an update which brings its own launcher to version 5.10.3468. I can't apply 3466 without rolling back, and I can't roll back without a factory reset of the HU. I will probably do this over the weekend.

So i guess the launcher is a system app and not a normal user app?
Can't you just delete it's data and cache?
