General :: Android Car Stereo - Launcher Modification
May 17, 2013
Today i want talk with you about a Software "Problem" i have with my Android Car Stereo. For a good overview i write a short briefing.
- Android Car Stereo: icartech Alpha v800
- Android 2.2 Froyo
- root access (with z4root)
- adb access only with wifi
- no recovery Menu
- i got the original Stock Rom, which can flash on the System
The Problem:
The Launcher has a Dock with several system App Shortcuts. The Dock is fix, so i can't delete icons, can't change Icon Order, can't add Icons. No new installed app can add a shortcut to the Dock. Except iGO Primo, it's the only app, that has automaticly add a shortcut to the Dock.
I want delete some shortcuts, cause i don't need them and i want add some shortcuts that i daily need.
My Question is: how can i unlock the Dock that i can change thins? Or modify non system apps to add a shortcut to the dock? Is it possible that the launcher has a app list, which controlls, what app can add a shortcut and what can't? And when a decompile the Launcher in which .smali i can possible find the "permissions"?

Is there any way to add new words automatically to the 4.2.2 keyboard dictionary?
It's really annoying to agree three times and then the keyboard closes in some apps.
SwiftKey adds them as you write them down without Flow/Swype for one time.
However I didn't stay by SwiftKey because I love the stock keyboard too much.
Any modification? I would be ok with an "one-click-add" as well.

I have a RikoMagic android TV stick. I want this functionality:
- I power up the stick
- the stick loads with wifi internet connection preset
- the system automaticaly opens browser in full screen mode with predefined starting page
- the user cannot change settings
Is it posible to make this with some aps (I hope free) or is it better to get some modified ROM (which?). I know this functionality is used in so called KIOSK modes, but as I can see all this software is very expensive.

I have source code from an appli running on android 3.2 with a WAMP Server and WowZa Server on my desktop. I have to make it accept the HLS (Http Live Streaming). I saw on the web that the Vitamio Library can do that so i used it. I know that natively, android 3.0+ do it well but i do not succeeded make it work successfully.
The player is successfully displayed but no video starts..After a reboot of my router (because my server didn't answer), the player crash each time.
Somestimes yes, sometimes no, i have some logs, they are as attachment.I think a buffer problem...
I think I have to implement this method (at the end of my code) but i know what type in it.public void onBufferingUpdate(MediaPlayer mPlayer, int percent)
IT WORKS VERY WELL WITH .MP4
Here's my code from the Player Activity :
Code:
package fr.niji.broadpeak.activity;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
/*import android.media.AudioManager;
import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.media.MediaPlayer.OnBufferingUpdateListener;
[code]....
Commented lines are the lines when i had still not used Vitamio.

Have similar threads >(URL>...)I am looking for an alternative to GO launcher.I have not upgraded my GO launcher since 3.11 due to bloatware.I would like to ask is there any launcher that allows custom sorting of apps inside the folder?For e.g i have created a folder called Games in the app drawer and would like to custom the games sort them instead alphabetical order.

I'm doing some stress testing of my SQLite database using the testing monkey and I got the following exception, which appears to be from inside SQLite. My app has many threads accessing the database but all of them do so in locking mode so I don't think this exception is my fault. Any opinions on whether I should worry about this exception or if it's just an artifact of the extremely fast monkey keyboard access? Code...

I wanted to know if it is even possible to either set up or modify email account settings programmatically. I do not believe it is, due to email applications controlling their own settings (and thus would depend upon a ContentProvider from that specific client), but I have not yet found a definitive "no", either.
Further, I was wondering about the email account support on Android in general. It appears that Android 2.0 and above will allow for multiple ActiveSync/Exchange accounts and mulitple IMAP/POP3 accounts, and displays these in the same inbox. Is this claim true? Also, how is this different from the other major Android releases (Android 1.5 and 1.6)?

I was thinking about this earlier and figured I'd ask.If I made an application that has lots of resources, what would stop someone from extracting and adding/modifying the resources I ship with it?Does an application that doesn't want its data manipulated have any sort of option to protect itself?

This post is in addition to: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa. I have exactly the same problem and Doug pinpointed what's probably the issue in my case exactly: So here's the deal: I have a Vector containing traffic messages (received from a server via UDP in an own thread). Each time a message is received, I create a new overlay object and populate it with the traffic messages: Code...

I cannot figure out the origin of the ConcurrentModificationException. In my activity I'm calling
updateMapOverlay(). I'm also calling updateMapOverlay() inside another Thread (a TimerTask) that is invoked on regular intervals. I'm taking the appropriate locks when invoking updateMapOverlay() from both the threads. Is this problem being caused because I'm invoking updateMapOverlay from inside a non-UI thread (i.e., TimerTask).
private void updateMapOverlay() { this.itemizedOverlay.refreshItems(createOverlayItemsList());
List<Overlay> overlays = mapView.getOverlays(); overlays.clear();
overlays.add(cotItemizedOverlay); this.mapview.invalidate(); }
Exception:
W/dalvikvm(10641): threadid=3: thread exiting with uncaught exception (group=0x4001b180)
E/AndroidRuntime(10641): Uncaught handler: thread main exiting due to uncaught exception
E/AndroidRuntime(10641): java.util.ConcurrentModificationException....

What I wanted to do was change the lg default background during a phone call to the android stock gradient as i prefer the look of it better. I extracted the phone.apk out of the /system/app directory and found that the gradient images are already there. so my question is, why is the phone not using these images and how do i change it so it does. My first thought was a meta morph theme that only changed the phone app but seeing as the images are already there i guess there's no point.

i was looking at some of these BT small stereos for use with our phones and and think how much nicer it would be to just use my pc as a Bluetooth stereo, i have a Bluetooth dongle for my PC and could like to know how i could go about doing this, id like to have it set up so i could just connect and play. i cant bring myself to buy another unit when i have a nice speaker set for my computer.

Is it possible to force Android to output ONLY stereo over a HDMI connection?
My Denon receiver initially receives a stereo signal from my Asus TF700 tablet, but after a few minutes the tablet starts outputting a 7.1 signal (3 front, 4 surround, 1 LFE). I've tried modifying audio_policy.conf but it hasn't seemed to make a difference. Is there anything else I can try, or a tutorial on how to add a limited 'hdmi' entry to the audio_policy.conf?

I have all my music in the cloud on Google music. So I have no songs directly on my phone. Is it possible for me to stream music to my stereo through a regular media streamer such as the Western digital ones, using the Google music app?
I can't seem to find an answer to this. But I have found that some players can't play music from my phone because the music isn't physically there but rather in the cloud. So I'm curious to know if that is an issue before I buy a media streamer..

I'd like to know if there is a standalone app that allows me to control the volume levels for the individual left and right headphones. The reason is, I use my phone as a player all day at work and because I work on building sites etc I only ever wear one headphone (the right-hand side) and the left hand side is always left hanging down. As a result, whatever I am listening to also obviously plays out of the left headphone meaning those around me hear it too, and because I have bad hearing in my right ear I have to have the volume up to max. I was hoping there would be an app that lets me mute the left headphone so as I don't annoy those around me with my music and podcasts.
It would have to be a standalone app as I listen to podcasts using BeyondPod and then use Google Music for my music listening, as well as Audible occasionally for audiobooks.
I use an HTC Desire HD rooted with CM7 installed.

I went to sleep listening to a 6 hour playlist of thunderstorm sounds in spotify through stereo speakers. My alarm was set to go off 2 hours after the playlist ended. My alarm vibrated, and luckily woke me up, but it played no sound through my stereo speakers or through the phone's built in speaker. Is there any solution to this issue? Ideally, I'd like to listen to the sound of thunderstorms for 6 hours, and then have my alarm play the song that normally wakes me up through my stereo speakers.
I have a Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX although I doubt that's relevant. I'm sure its something to do with the software.

I have a droid razr maxx and have been trying to play musin on my car stereo pioneer deh-p4200ub using a data cable due to the fact that i don't have the bluetooth adapter for my head unit yet. everytime i connect to stereo i get "error 19" displayed on head unit. I've tried using mass storage and mtp to reconize sd card in phone. i found that if ihave the music stored on internal memory of phone it will work but i have 14gb of music on sd card that wont fit on internal storage. is there any setting i can change for this to be compatable?

I have the Dynavin Android unit ([URL]....) in my car and im having an issue that so far it seems only 2 other users have had.
with this unit there are 2 "sides", 2 different computers in one is guess you can say. the am/fm radio, CD/DVD, bluetooth, etc is all completely separate from the android OS side. whats happening to me is ALL sound played on android gets distorted, slow, and staticy. i have reinstalled the firmware numerous times, used different SD cards, i have tried different apps, it happens with music from the SD card and internet music, it even happens with the sounds when u adjust the volume. nobody on our huge thread at e46fanatics can figure it out and only 1 or 2 other people have had the issue.
the weird part is that many times it will play fine for a few minutes and then start to slow down, and even rebooting doesnt work at that point. im thinking maybe it could be overheating, but even with the a/c blasting in the car it happens. and the radio/cd part is completely unaffected.

"8 inch Car DVD for VW GOLF 5 with android 2.3 WIFI 3G modem POLO PASSAT JETTA TIGUAN TOURAN EOS TRANSPORTER (T5)CADDY" on Aliexpress
It is a tcc8902 based Android Platform that i need to root.Of course i already tried a "one Click" solution, like Gingerbreak (stuck rooting, i waited two hours), and z4root.I have no copy of stock rom (if i had i mod that and then flash...), and no CWM available for this system.Furthermore if boot into CWM, i have no vol up down available, no pwr button available.Other users tried to use back USB for rooting, but it seems it is useful for Wifi or 3G device only. I didn't try.
So... How can i root it?Is it possible, using the built-in flash tool into settings doing a flash dump (and then reflash back with root)?Is there a CWM recovery compatible with my device?

I got my N1 a few days ago and am really liking it so far. One thing that bothers me is the color saturation of the screen and I'd like to tweak that if I can. Does anyone know of a screen adjustment tool that will perform global color modification?

I am thinking some update to an app caused it, given that it was working fine and then stopped, but not certain.
Galaxy Note 2. Both phone and stereo show that bluetooth is connected. Calls will still go through the stereo, but music won't. The music will play through the phone's speakers, but at a very low volume - lower than what my phone shows. I do not have a volume control app or manager installed. I have: PowercycledPaired and unpaired numerous timesGone into the device settings and checked volume settings and that media is check-boxed for the car stereo device.Checked volume levels through the sound settings.Probably a few other things that I am forgetting.Husband has also researched and tried to troubleshoot with no success There was a post somewhere else (don't remember where) about a similar issue that might have been related to a Google Now update, but we tried that route also.

I just got a new 2014 Chevy Sonic and I have paired my Huawei H881C to the car stereo. Once for "Phone" and once for "Music". Right now I can play the car radio music OR press a button on the car stereo that says "Media" and select "Bluetooth" which turns the car radio music off and lets the GPS voice directions come through the car stereo speakers but no music. I can't have both, the car radio music and GPS voice directions at the same time. Seems like the music volume should mute while the GPS directions are given then return to the previous volume and continue playing the music I had going. Instead it's "either or". ?

I've been using LP for about a week (it's great BTW!) and this just started to happen so it could have something to do with the latest update. I've set LP at the default launcher and everything works great. However, if I ever long press the "home" button, go to an application, then press "home" again I get the popup asking me which launcher I want to use. I check the "set as default" box then select LP and everything is good again. It all works until I long press home the next time, then the remembered default is gone and I get the prompt again. I've tried rebooting, clearing defaults, etc.

I was informed of Launcher Pro in my search for customizing without rooting and then my boyfriend came across ADW launcher. I was just wondering if there were any major difference between the two? Pro or Cons?
