Hello guys. Is it possible to use various home launchers (like those from MarioDantas homepage - http://fytfactory.mariodantas.com/index.php) - for a Joying 11.6", 1920x1080 (uis7862 - 8GB ROM / 128GB Flash) - or do they specific need to be for a certain resolution? If not, can they be changed to fit - by an amateur like me ;-) - and will they be installed as an app (.apk)?
Thanks in advance

yes you can.
I use AGAMA launcher in mine, but haven't looked at what's new in that space.
The launcher should auto-scale to the correct format regardless of your resolution.
You may need to tweak a settings file (???com.launcher.???) if the unit overrides your launcher.

Thanks, I'll have a look

The answer to that question of @lr_man is NO, not by default!
The Agama and any other Play Store Launcher do. However, the "like those from MarioDantas" are FYT launchers.
Especially the older builtin FYT launchers are restricted to 1024x600 and 1280x720. All the launchers on Mario's page are FYT launchers.
You first have to look inside the apk to check whether it supports other resolutions. If so, then you're good.
The 2nd question "If not, can they be changed to fit - by an amateur like me".
First: I think there are hardly any professional Launcher programmers here , so your are among other amateurs.
Extending this is a really time consuming task, and then you need to "system sign" it to make it work. That is not possible as FYT will definitely not give their signing keys away.
There are several firmwares especially for your 1920x1080. You better search there and then "simply" install one of those launchers on your unit.
Or, like said: check the internals of the apk to see if one of the launchers on Marios page supports your resolution. Or simply install and uninstall.

And what's so bad about that? I write my own launchers.
There's no particular reason that a launcher has to be system-signed.
In worst case you can go for the "nuclear option" and resign your whole system.
AOSP launchers calculate the grid based on the actual window.

That is not the case with the FYT builds.
There are 2 central system apks that check every other FYT app for the right signature and there is a hardcoded key "somewhere" that checks which key has been used. And they recently "improved" that even further by building another check to check if the kernel.zip is signed with an official key instead of a test key. So that option for modders is also gone.
Both on 4pda and on this forum there are many who already tried to resign signle apks, partition zips, whole zips, whole systems, and other "desperate" options (I was one of them). FYT block everything that makes Android an open system. And recompiling doesn't work as they use closed-source drivers for their hardware (instead of using the Android Automotive HAL). Already several attempts have tried for legal tries where they have to share the source code when they adapt GPL-3 and other code. That simply doesn't work in China.
And with regard to "There's no particular reason that a launcher has to be system-signed".
I mentioned that for all those Play Store Launchers. And the FYT launchers from Mario Dantas' website ARE FYT launchers and therefore have the correct system signing.
Well, then somebody clearly has to work on modding/deleting the OEM code that does silly checking.

Has already been tried and is also blocked by the flashing binary (there is no flashable recovery partition for this unit. It is a closed source recovery only working with their flashing binary).
And they use dynamic partitions which means you completely reflash the unit as well due to this special recovery partition. Many people have already worked on this since 2016. I am not a good programmer, but there were some programmers that completely wrote a new system for some other Rockchip unions and then I mean from scratch. Not simple modding.
It is easy to say from a distance if you have not spent years on these units.

Forgive me if this is the wrong forum but I wouldn't mind a dev's insight...
How does one go about setting the option to remove the launcher icon when developing an app and what is changed at runtime to add/remove the icon?
For example, Pure Music Widget has an option to remove its own icon from the launcher (and obviously the app still works). You can add it or remove it at will.
I would like to design an app that performs this function (add/remove) for any app launcher icon and imagine that it must be possible. 15 font pack icons in my launcher are redundant as are many other entries... I anticipate this might be a useful function for many people.
But I don't know where to start looking... any pointers? Then I can disappear into a hole and start reading.
TIA
I believe it's a string/setting in the manifest.xml. This is where it is determined if your application is a regular app, or a service, input, &c. That would be the first place to look (especially since that is where the name and icon assigned to your application in the Launcher are referenced).

Thanks guys for the info.
As I understood it manifest was used for establishing the app, or at least the label in the launcher but I'm not sure that launcher parses each manifest file for the info after an app is installed.
Wouldn't the launcher use its own database (that was populated during an apps installation) to determine what to display? If my thinking is correct it's this database I want to edit. If it exists it must already be r/w.
Or does the launcher really read each manifest file each time it needs to? Ergo one would have to manipulate these to manipulate the launcher?

Actually, the Launcher does indeed parse the apps to determine what to display. If you've ever installed a third-party ROM and ran A2SD, and opened the app drawer right after reboot (especially on a G1 or slower device), then you probably saw the drawer populating itself in real-time as Launcher parsed each apk in /[system|data]/app[-s].
However, I am curious why this was moved to themes and apps. This was clearly a development question, and was asked in the development forum. Or is development now only used to indicate kernels, ROM-cooking (which is barely development at all), and hardware hacking?
Regarding the move; it's pretty much arbitrary when it comes to application development questions. Some stay, some go.
As far as directly modifying the Launcher db--that would be a no-go. Your application can't access it as it would not have the correct permission (running as a different user than the Launcher). Plus it wouldn't do what you want for reasons already explained.

Not unless the Launcher DB allows global read/write. Read up on the app security model. I'm pretty sure that Pure Music Widget is doing the dynamic launcher icon another way, unless it requires root, which I do not believe it does.
honestly, even i am wondering how those apps does it. if you managed to develop this, then i wouldnt need to develop a hide icon method in my launcher because that seems to be a dirty hack. :/
Didnt advanced launcher on donut had the ability to hide apps..one my favorite missed features :/
have a look on setComponent method, it will allow you to hide launcher icon...
Hi, does anyone know why the ANDROID system menus are not listed alphabetically? They seem to be listed in some indiscernible order, at least in English. I feel it would be logical and more user friendly if the order was alphabetical. Any ideas, thoughts?

PS. I'm running CM7 on a O2X with an ICS theme.
They're roughly ordered into categories, although the more used options tend to be closer to the top (WIFI settings have the possibility to be accessed as part of regular usage, other menus are accessed less frequently)

Hi Kagadar, categories? Most frequently used?
I for one have a Wi-Fi widget, which means that option can be accessed from one of my home screens. When I do pay a visit to the system menu's, it seems a bit chaotic, especially for new users. And don't user patterns differ greatly?
Most OS' use an alphabetical listing, which is logical. Thanks for your reply. I wish there was an option to list alphabetically.
Anil
Yeah, I would have to goto usability/ease of use. Top 4 options in ics i use many more times than other options
While I agree that it is chaotic at first, not everyone uses a wifi widget (I simply don't have the screen real estate for something as infrequently used as that). If I need to enter settings, 9/10 times it is to access bluetooth or wifi settings. Those are right on the top simply because they're the most common reason to be in the settings menu.
A lot of the other settings are things that only need a one time configuration based on the users preferences. Applications is another commonly used one, but its redundant since there is a link from the launcher context menu directly to the applications page.

Hi Kagadar, interesting points. I have never used Bluetooth, LOL. And your right once most settings are normally visited once and then set, there isn't much need to go back. I have a Wi-Fi widget simply to turn Wi-Fi off so I can switch to 3G when my home internet connection has a lot of traffic.
I think the most 'logical' order would alphabetical. But the coolest order would be sorted in order of times used. The options you rarely use move down, and the ones you use often move to the top. That is how technology should work, for us, not the other way around.
Thanks for your sharing your opinion, very enlightening. Anil

Hi toast333, ease of use is always the best option. But ALL users have different usage patterns. So you may please a lot of users, some users will be s**t out of luck.
But my question is from a UI designers point of view. I know new users know their alphabet, a, b, c, d... So having to learn where settings are, can be less frustrating if they follow an order they already understand.
I do see your point, you are by your comment, an experienced user? I wonder how new users would find this layout? I cut my UI teeth on a Mac, a platform which has a lot of consistency and predictable logic. Simply because a user shouldn't have to re-learn certain fundamentals. Key commands are the same throughout and rarely/never change from app to app.
It makes the user experience less frustrating.
Thanks for your opinion. Anil

And one more because it's a Friday
Control your USB DAB+ receiver with a simple and straightforward user interface.
Slideshow works nicely. There are no station logos though.
This is no competition for the excellent "DAB-Z" app. It's rather for people like me with thick fingers and an unreliable touchscreen ...
The user interface is extremely simple, optimized for car screen, with large buttons and selection areas - those touch screens are not always perfectly calibrated. The UI closely matches the one I created for the Klyde module app
It's optimized for car screens of 1024x600, in landscape mode. If you have a different resolution and the app looks weird, post at this thread. Maybe I can add annother layout.
This app is build upon the HRadio example code by IRT GmbH (Fabian Sattler), published under the Apache License 2.0. It's still available on Github as of this moment, but the company was dissolved so there is no guarantee.

DAB+ Radio USB - Apps on Google Play
Radio app for USB DAB+ receivers (not SDR), optimized for car headunits

Update from 2023-03-13
Version 1.1.0 allows to save the currently visible infotext by appending it to a text file. The content of this text file can be exported, shared over various apps or cleared. This comes handy e.g. if you like the song that's playing and want to note down title and artist.
In addition, efforts were made to make the USB and low-level media code more stable.
Update from 2021-06-03
Version 1.0.2 added experimental support for steering wheel button operation.
Skip Next = Next Station
Skip Previous = Previous Station
Play = Next Filter (set of stations, cycles through "All" "Selected Program Type", "Favourites")
If you have the Steering Wheel App, you can assign these commands to any buttons.
Update from 2021-05-25
Version 1.0.1 comes with a color picker, to customize the color of the info text.
Just touch and hold the info area!
Working away from home at moment, but will try when I get home again

I have installed this on my head unit - currently using Witson Rom, Android 10.
It has installed, then searched and found 76 stations, but as soon as the station tries to play, it closes down, every time.
Are there any restrictions to it, as in Android 9 only, needs root etc

If you are online while that happens, I should see a crash report on Google Play. Let me check ...
Edit: No, I don't see a crash report yet. If you know how to use "logcat" or the app "Catlog", you can post the crash ("Unhandled exception") right here.
Just had another look, unfortunately the ROM is not rooted, so cannot get a log (?). Tried sending feedback through the app if that works. It's not actually closing, just putting itself in the background, but not playing anything. If I click on stations before it disappears, it shows them for a few seconds, goes back to main screen, then disappears.

If it's doing that, it is really (quietly) closing with an exception.

By the way, in case anyone wonders - I'm running HAL9K 4.0.2 (with paid updates).
Fixed annother bug that was introduced with the steering wheel feature - probably unnoticed as it only happened when the app was closed.
the device is developed for digital audio broadcast receiver for worldwide application.
Promising app... thank you. I am testing it on my PX5 with S32F0 MCU and full Malaysk ROM. It works well, but I found a bug. W.r.t. other DAb apps, this one found less stations during the search. If I am not wrong, a complete ensemble is missed (Italy). I can check this later and give you more details.

Dear friends,
I bought this Device called WINCA 360+ this is a brand name that has the "uni8581A" chip
I need to update firmware but I'm not sure if the joying firmware will match with my device or no
I have great DSP inside the equalizer if anyone has experience with this device let me know ,,,,
I don't like the device launcher in the same way I need to change but I don't need to install the launcher application from google play

Yeah well. I am not almighty, far from it.
Why do you want an update? Is something not working?
And which launcher do you want to have? A FYT one? I personally use Nova launcher and before the CarWebGuru, but that is a personal taste and fully up to anyone.
I would refrain for any T'eyes launcher. So many people like the "driving car" or one of the other widgets that take almost 50% of your screen. This makes these launchers in my opinion useless and very unflexible.
Edit: Why do you want a Joying update? The uis7862 and uis8514a should be compatible, but as Joying and T'eyes are on the high-end of this cheap market, they only sell uis7862. Mekede has true uis8514a firmwares.

Nova is my preference. Don't think it is the best. I like it the most for my requirements, There are a huge amount of launchers in the play store. More car oriented launchers are carwebguru, agama and a few others.
You can try to extract the equalizer apk from the Joying firmware and simply install it on your unit and see if it works. If it doesn't you uninstall it from the Settings to get your original back.

Did you know which launcher has this quaint color I just saw It and I need this
up
I think it would be wise to just keep the firmware, the way it is: you seem not to have a lot of knowledge about this specific topic. So my advice would be, if it works don't change it.
On my EKIY D7, which I'm replacing soon: I'm also not to happy with the launcher. But it works and the update the reseller had send me, didn't even work.
And please keep in mind, people are doing these things in their own free time.
I give out a joke of humor...
PeaceOS (beta) - FYT UIS7862(s)/UIS8581a only for 1280x720.Hello everyone, I present my draft assembly for the FYT UIS7862(s) platform with a resolution of 1280x720.
I'm a beginner modder so don't expect too much. I work a little with graphics and xml, I work badly with code. I will refine as long as there is a desire, free time and ideas.
The name is a piece of the world and an attitude to what is happening in the world.
The idea was picked up by SM52 - to make all native software in one style.

Spoiler: Done now:
Launcher - mod for teyes launcher. While one, put your others at will. Changed graphics and layout to three columns (pip, typewriter, players). The dockbar (hotseat) has been expanded, it has a shortcut to launch FrontApp from KёniG and, accordingly, switch PIP on the go. The car has just been repainted. In the "widgets" of the players, any third-party (through the crutch of the universal music widget), native player / radio and BT (flipping up and down with a swipe) is launched.
Settings - graphics and layout have been changed, now there is a minimum of running lines that do not fit, translation has been corrected, comments have been added to each item. Added entry to BT settings and original android settings.
Player - joing base, graphics and layout changed. On the left side is the player control, on the right side are the tracks. In a separate tab, the choice of playback by folders / artists / albums / favorites.
Radio - mod base from tyukhta. The list of cities and radio stations, as well as the icons are taken from the F��23 mod. Changed layout and graphics, radio control in the left window, list of radio stations in the right window.
Bluetooth - joing base, graphics and layout changed.
MS - garry222 mod base, volume panel graphics changed.
SystemUI - changed graphics and layout. Notifications work, the temperature of the CPU and the display of flash drives are embedded. Based on the mod SM52.
Spoiler: In the plans:
to finish what is now
complete the stock software to the end
make several launchers for different tastes
there are interesting ideas :happy:
Spoiler: Installation:
For experienced ones - download allappupdate.bin, throw it on a USB flash drive with the current lsec6315update, your config.txt and updatecfg.txt with a full cleaning. As a system, I used 2023-03-08__FYT7862_FW_MD_EDITION_NO_MAINSERVICE_V1.zip and the current FMC from mariodantas, but this is optional.
For absolutely lazy or beginners, the FULL_PeaceOS_v0.1_beta.ZIP assembly was made.
unpack to a flash drive formatted in FAT32
add your config.txt there
insert into the HU and wait for the green inscription about the successful firmware
pull out the flash drive, wait for the download, configure and us
Spoiler: Recommended reading:
after installation, I advise you to go to the "settings" and select the launcher again. By default, the launcher goes to config.txt, but here it is worth doing so, for the stable operation of "widgets".
to operate the universal music widget of the public app "Ubiquity Music Widget" and configure it. To work, be sure to open the settings for accessing notifications. If you do not set the default player, it will work with everyone, but after opening. If anything, it will be with, but it will probably work.
did not begin to add navigators and other weights, reducing the assembly of scales. Each is installed as you wish.
the build looks best in a dark theme, which is activated by a command via adb or FMC by mariodantas comes into play
the assembly is still raw, jambs are possible, write, if possible I will correct it. I want to post a joke by April 1 and ... otherwise I would have dragged it out for a long time, without fail

Sorry my bad english i used google translate, and poorly worded message, I'm newbie to this forum.
Only a Russian speaker will understand the joke...

0. Are you sure you are using a FYT device with UIS7862 processor and 1280x720 resolution?
1. When flashing, did you add your config.txt?
2. After installation, did you go back to the settings and use the launcher?
3. If the answer to all questions is yes, then attach the config.txt file
Small update for PeaceOS.
Actual for those who did not like the machine: D
A couple of variations of the launcher based on the native one, installation over the existing one by simply installing the APK as an update.
One with a large PIP-window due to the place of the typewriter.
Spoiler
The second - the car is hidden behind the PIP-window and, accordingly, the choice is one of two, in place of the car, a widget of a third-party player.
Spoiler
Download from the link specified in the mod, I will add the rest of the developments on the mod's firmware there.
On other firmwares there will be problems with the widget of third-party players and partially with launching applications in the dock bar

I have no idea what password is required there, I have never seen such a thing.
After the firmware, did the desktop appear or were there blinks right away? Blinking usually if you do not apply the launcher through the settings.

In Mario, only the core is flashed, and it is universal. The config file is individual for all HU manufacturers. I could add my config to the firmware, but then someone's screen will turn over or the bluetooth will stop working

sys.fyt.ec_version=6
now respectively

Do not think that the reason is in the language, I checked it at the request of Mario.

Got Mario's back up, in English. But did like the way the Peace launcher looked. Maybe I'll try it again. Not tonight though.
Took Mario’s and added the “allappupdate.bin”
sill have same issue with Home Screen flashing, everything else looks fine.
got my apple CarPlay up so I’ll be ok till I can play around with it tomorrow.
same issue for me -- flashing home screen (background goes on/off, status bar up top disappears/reappears causing a vertical shift) and french language. I like the looks for the settings etc but using a 3rd party launcher (Nova) and Mario's kernel.

If it didn't flash, I'd be happy. It looks much better than factory.
What head unit do you have? I have an ATOTO S8G2 7" Ultra. I think ATOTO has discontinued it, as I didn't see it the last time I went to their site.
Looked it up and it's 1024x600. That might be the issue for me.
Great job, I really like the gray interface. combined with the MD-EDITION kernel it's just perfect.
I hate to see future improvements because the rendering is great.
will there be any changes to the fuel consumption app? because the original one is horrible and badly translated (French language).
