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.

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?

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.

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?

    Hi, I updated it through Google Store. I do have an issue. When " Return to home page automatically" is enabled in VIVID Car Launcher, even the unit is connected to carplay, it still goes back to home page after 30 secs or 1 minute. This doesn't make sense especially when you are in navigation. I wonder if it's the bug of VIVID Car Launcher or the system. Hope you guys can fix it. Thanks.
    It is bug.already present on previous versions....it is needed a blacklist of apps in which nit automatically return to home

    I have an FYT radio (Atoto S8, UIS7862 FYT hardware), and last time I tried Vivid was a while ago.
    It was buggy on my setup, but I know it wasn't officially supported yet so I expected it. I tried other launchers too but eventually went with something more stock AOSP looking.

    I'm revisiting the idea now because Vivid did something extremely well that no one else has yet:
    Integrate all currently playing media into a global music control widget.

    I loved that I had a single player area on screen for all my sources, and universal buttons that controlled it whether it be Spotify, Amazon, or even streaming via Blueooth from my phone! It displayed the track name and artist when applicable, and when available it displayed album art too if I recall correctly.

    I miss that. No other launcher handled this as well as Vivid that I've tried. I see now that Vivid is only going to be available for US markets going forward... I'm in the US so that's not a problem for me, but have you guys considered just making a standard Android widget that can be used in any launcher that supports widgets?

    That would solve a lot of problems for those with overall compatibility issues, and maybe present an option for those in countries that can't support the full fledged launcher?

    There are a lot of music widgets out there that claim to be "universal", I've tried pretty much all of them- they tend to not work with headunit-specific sources like Bluetooth. Feels like you guys have already got the system figured out in a way that you can probably make something like this pretty easily and it would work across the board for MTCD and FYT units I think!

    I see, I thought I set auto launch through VIVID for zlink app. Anyway I'll search or find the proper thread to post in
    For MTCD type units....this is the thread:

    VIVID is a personalized launcher to offer best experiences while you're driving. It's designed neatly and beautiful, intuitive and easy to use. Here are the major features you're going to find out in VIVID:

    * Split home screen - It applies a split home screen for the most important 2 features while you're driving, Maps and Media, so that you don't have to jump back and forth among apps. And you can also easily access to the recent apps from the bottom bar.

    * Navigation - Google Maps, Waze, Amigo, iGo, no matter what navigation apps you're using, once you used it, it will stay at the bottom bar as your default Maps app.

    * Media - Highly customized UI for in-vehicle scenarios, and it's compatible with any standard media browse services, e.g. DAB-Z.

    * Phone - Integrated with HCT and ums512_1h10_Natv Head Units, and highly customized UI for phone calling, it's simple and easy to use!

    * Hardware Integration - Integrated with HCT and ums512_1h10_Natv HUs, you can use native radio and Bluetooth call, music

    * OTA update - Continuously improve and listen to user feedback, new release is bi-weekly or monthly.

    The download link and release notes are in second floor blow in this post.

    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.
