slide 2 play

hey everyone, I was just wondering if there is an alternative program to slide2play that is more like iphones music player? or just one similar that does the simple things like lets u click at different parts of song an list songs by track number,etc?
thanks

hav you looked at the work A_C has done
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377627

thanks for the help mate, but for some reason the link is not loading up..
however, im trying to access it on my vario III so mayb that's why

thanks,ive gotten it working and stuff and the albumflow, etc is pretty cool, but i was wondering if anyone knows how to get slide2play to display tracks by their track number rather than alphabetically??

It's still a work in progress, so that feature is probably to come and/or not implemented yet. My guess ..

Just put an "01-" in front of the first track file name, "02-" in front of the second track file name, and so on...

app request

(if this doesn't belong here please move it to the proper location)
Hi,
I'm somewhat surprised this doesn't exist yet (or does it?). An app that pronounces the title (and maybe the artist) of a track (maybe by text-to-speak reading the ID3 tag). It's quite annoying (to me, at least) when I listen to an album, I never know what song was playing without a glimpse at my mobile. Can someone develop that, or does it exist yet (and weren't my Google-skills up to par?).

Looks interesting.
However, the person would have to develop a completely new player. Ok, he could also mod open source apps like Apollo.

yeah, but that's why I mentioned the text-to-speach-thingie, you won't be needing a new player for that, will you? Just that all tracks have ID3, right?

You need to recognize when a new song starts and which one it is. Therefore you need your own player.

There is no need for cracking. You just need to use an open source player like the great Apollo.

I am sorry, but I am a busy at the moment.
I am developing apps which I really need.
What you could do is sending a mail to the main developers of Cyanogenmod and suggesting this feature.

Running Alexa/GoogleHome into the head unit?

I'm thinking about installing an Amazon Echo or similar into my car as an AI interface.
Question, is there an input and/app that will mute or pause any music player currently in use and let Alexa or google home talk back?
Similar to your phone pausing or muting when an incoming call or notification comes in.
Or, has anyone managed to run Alexa in their Android unit? I.E. convert their Head unit into an echo or dot etc?
I have not purchased an echo or dot yet, and I'll probably go down the line of Raspberry Pi just for the tinker inside of me.
Cheers.

why not just install the Alexa app from the play store?

you still require the echo/dot unit to run it.
Your phone or other Android unit is only the settings portal.
Alexa needs to communicate through her own hub unit

That's not true at all. The app has full Alexa functionality as well as being used for changing the settings on other devices. The only difference is you have to press a button to activate instead of saying Alexa

Thanks.
I'll look into it.
I've seen on line some people connecting Alexa via Bluetooth into their headunit and also connecting her into the OBD2 input.
Think I'll just take the plunge and pick one up to tinker with in the meantime

Any update on this? Anyone successful in running echo or Google home with this using Bluetooth?

Uhh, we have android head units, and the google home is the same thing as OK or Hey Google on the head unit lol, this is redundant and pointless guys.

Agree , its pointless provided the HU works fine with google assistant, but most of the time its not! Either it crashes or hangs the system or very slow to respond!

Any luck? I love Alexa at home and would be great in car with wake word. Can you ask for directions, play music , trigger home events? I receive my head unit tomorrow.

I run alexa on my Chinese head unit, it's not perfect, but I set it to load automatically and it does respond to voice, ie no button pressing, it's faster and less processor hungry than Google assistant.
It will quite happily play and change radio channels, music, news etc and loads Google maps with my route when I say "alexa, navigate home" for example.
Only issue is, you can't run the app in auto mode so I run it with a split screen, nav on one side, alexa on the other.
Responds to my voice even with lots of road noise.

On your headunit there should be a screen that has About...System... or System Info or the like. Having a screenshot of this screen can be helpful to know exactly what kind of headunit you have (i.e. manufacturer, firmware versions, Android version, etc). There are identifying details on that screen that can be helpful to others on the forum.
It helps bring context to both help requested and help provided by forum members. Plus it helps forum moderators ensure questions end up in the right forum. Basically. one could expect similar results to your experience using alexa/Google on same or similar specfication headunit. How else would anyone else know if they have same/similar headunit without that identifying screenshot of About System?
Just trying to explain why it is desirable to have the details that a screenshot of the About System can provide.

I get that, but the other user was a tad curt.

We can't tell from these screen captures which FYT manufacturer this is.
Again, read the forum and the specific thread. Then you know how you can display the id and we can help you.

the ro.build.fytmanufacturer was 51.
no idea how that makes sense since it's a navifly/mekede system but it works.

That is indeed strange. Your firmware photos already show "HYI" which is indeed the reseller (plus a couple of other resellers) who have the id=51 firmware. Mekede/NaviFly is either 1 or 116.

so running the script to change the fytmanufacturer did work but for some reason the developer password has changed, is it possible the script changed the developer password on the unit?

No, the script doesn't change anything in that regard. I did not even know that but I assume the 1900xxx.com.syu.apk checks the FYT id and based on that probably uses different password. As you don't mention the old password (please be complete), did you check QA #2?
And if your old password was different, then please mention it so I can add it.

The original password was 3368. This is a weird situation

No idea why but the password has been changed to 123456.

Question Volume according to speed

Hi guys. I have no setting in my settings to activate the function of letting the soundvolume follow the speed.
I found this setting, which should do the trick? Do I need to use "0" or "1" ?
My HU is a Joying 11.6" UIS7862, 8 GB ram/ 128GB rom and the firmware (System) is 2022-08-15
If, am I right that I put two files on a fat32 usb with a config.txt as one, which has
ro.syu.env_voloffset_level=0 (or 1)
And the file:
lsec6315update
from my current firmware.
This will only update the system with the new setting and nothing else?
Thanks in advance

Tried, without luck. It doesn't seem to work when I drive and there is no new setiing in Settings-menu.
I asked Joyforwa (Amazon) - (Joying I think). They say it's not possible.. Hmmm.
Just thinking. Can it be because I don't have a CANbus. (It's installed in a Land Rover from 1972 )

Which value for the setting did you use?
1 to set speed dependent volume
0 to disable speed dependent volume.
And also check what the property is right now.
Either use my HWGetInfo.apk to check on the properties (and the rest)
or, from a terminal, issue the command
Code:
getprop > /storage/sdcard1/properties.txt
and check the "ro.syu.env_voloffset_level=" in the created txt file.
I do not know whether it is dependent on the CANbus, but I don't think so. I think it is determined by the GPS module. It was in the Sofia 3GR and FYT never changes a working functionality.
But the best way is to ask Joying directly.
Edit: Do you really not have in your Settings -> Sound ->
Speed Compensated Volume
The last option in Sound, in whatever translation the Chinese make of this. This should set the sound volume depending on the actual speed

Thanks again. I looked in an old HWGetinfo-file (after I made the update with the config.txt) and I see it wasn't in the old file at all. As I wrote, Joying (or who they might be) said it couldn't be done. I have now set it to "1" and will try and see if it made a difference. I have also tried with some apps that claims to change volume against speed, but without luck..

I tried with a value of "1", without any luck. I also tried several app's that are supposed to turn the volume up and down, depending on speed, but again with no luck. Can the "system" somehow be "locked" for app's to control the volume?
It would be rally nice to have this function, as my Land Rover makes a lot of "good " noise, with increasing speed..

Can someone here show me a picture of the soundsettings, where "Speed Compensated Volume" is - and if, which HU it's from. As you can see from the picture of the soundsettings in my earlier post, the setting is not to be found anywhere in my HU. I have tried to download several different firmwares for the uis7862, but cannot find any reference to ro.syu.env_voloffset_level=
I don't really know what to look for, perhaps a missing app for the function?. I really miss the feature.
Thanks again.
edit: in the "properties"file, there is a line with: [ro.syu.env_voloffset_level]: [1]

I don’t quite understand. What would a picture of the screen showing that setting be any different to what has just posted above?

Perhaps I'm not good at explaining myself. Curiosity - I have not seen an actual screenshot, where the settings are. And to confirm that my HU are different from the rest ;-) As far as I can read, all uis7862 should be the same, so I'm looking for a solution to my problem - no "speed compensated volume" setting.

I have it on my Teyes cc3 and also had it on my EKIY t900. I’ll do a pic next time I’m at the car of my cc3

I had to get something out of the car, so here are 2 bad images of the Setting.
Device -> Sound -> Speed Compensated Volume.
Note that the setting is done in animated text. It moves from left to right.

Thanks a lot, much appeciated, both of you. Now I have seen it live ;-) Now I just have to figure out to get the setting. Maybe an update of the firmware....

The below:
ro.syu.env_ voloffset _niveau 190000000_com.syu.ms
What do you think - has the line anything to do with my problem? Is it an app, an argument or a reference to something? Can it maybe be needed for the function. I saw it at the 4pda-forum. I'm a beginner.....

I don't think so. I did set the "Speed Compensated Volume" to off/low/medium/high, but did not see any change in properties.
And where does that line come from?
Note also that you started with "ro.syu.env_voloffset_level". Now you mention "ro.syu.env_ voloffset _niveau".
I know that you found that "ro.syu.env_voloffset_level" from a post from tyuktha on 4pda, but where is this coming from?

I made a search for something with voloffset in it and ran into this on 4pda. I have no idea if it has anything to do with it....
