Menu bounce problem - MTCB Android Head Units Q&A

Hi,
I have installed a Joying head unit in my car with Android 10.
I am creating a kind of car launcher with Nova Launcher and KLWP.
It works good, but today my original menu start to bounce and do not stop :/
And if I open an app like Chrome, all the screen bounce.
I have closed all the apps, but the problem go on.
It is very bad.
Here an image to be clear ;

Your original post has been moderator moved to Android Head units, which is the right place.
Your unit is not an MTCB, this is the incorrect place.

Ok, thank you

[Q] ADW.Launcher - Dock Icon Reflections

I've seen this in screenshots and mentioned in forum posts but I can't find a theme or setting that enables it.
How do I get the reflections under the dock icons in ADW.Launcher?
Found the answer here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7845287&postcount=2175
Thanks EindhovenOne!
I am not able to make it work, I'm running 1.1.3 version.
Lento...try updating to the latest version, and make sure you have the settings from the screenshot as they appear. The hardest part is getting the swipe motion on the app dock icon exactly right, it is very touchy to be honest. Post back if you can't get it after a few tries and we'll go from there.

I have the latest installed 1.1.3, where can I find the screenshot with the settings? I'm not able to see it.
Edit1: found it, weird can't see the screenshots from my computer, but I actually was able to look at them from my phone.
Edit2: Not able to see from the pictures, which options you have check.
Edit: got it working, thanks
Hello I'm new at the forum I've notice the post about the icons reflection in the dock bar. I have the latest version of AWD Launcher EX but this feature is not present or at least I can not find it. Can someone point me in the right direction or I just doing something wrong. Thank you in advance
To customize the Dock bar in ADW Ex: Menu, ADW Settings, UI Settings, Main Dock, Dock Background, Custom
Then select wherever you saved the new dock you want to use.
To add icons to the dock bar (if you were asking about that too), I would just add the app to your desktop, long-click it, click on the existing icon and replace it. Then drag the new app icon to your dock bar.
EDIT:
I just reread your question: if you're just looking for the "hidden" dockbar, I think the default setting is to do a short swipe up on the main dockbar. That should expose the hidden one. Setting for this hidden dockbar are located in the same general area as the steps I listed a few lines up (just called Hidden Dockbar).
Thanks
That works really great...so hidden dock bar is the one that reflect the icons...COOL!. I think they should implement the same function for the standard dock. Plus if they add the folder manager in the app drawer like the one in GO Launcher Ex and the option to replace the apps icons like other far more simple Launchers on the market, AWDLauncher will be the best launcher without any question. I think that the developers should think about those options.

[Q] ADW.Launcher Questions

Hey, so I recently downloaded ADW.Launcher (I have the plus version of LP but it has gotten slow or sluggish) and I like it alot. Im still learning the application but had a few questions for people who use it
1. If I put my finger on the drawer button, I see an arrow that point up, if I drag up, the dock goes away..so where does it go, how do I had another dock like I think you can?
2. Is it possible to add my own icons to the dock? Like Right now I have the dock setup for 5 icons including the app drawer, but if I put a short cut on my homescreen like for gmail, and its a color icon, when I drag it to the dock, it goes there but turns gray, well it basically keeps the shape of the icon but unless u know what that icon is, just by looking at the shape there would be no way of knowing (kinda hard to explain)
Any help would be greatly appreciataed

2. There is a setting in ADW that turns icons in the dock grey vs. keeping them in their original color. I forget the setting, but it is in the ADW settings somewhere. ONce you see the name it's fairly obvious. I believe it's under the dock settings.
When you pull up the app drawer and it "disappears" thats basically another deck you can add shortcuts to. What I do is I add shortcuts to the phone's desktop and then drag them down to the very bottom until you see it kind of lights up white-ish. It should then dock that application down there.
Thanks for the replies, I watched a ADW.Launcher Youtube Video lol it helped alot with all my questions

[Q] Home screen in landscape

Is there any way to tweak the phone so that the home screen can be displayed in landscape like a tablet? This would be useful for when using at my desk, especially with the USB cable connected.
Edit: I have found play store apps to do this, but they don't work well with Zen launcher's dock and app tray.
OK, have got this sorted by myself - just needed to use Nova launcher together with an app that forces landscape.
Apologies for talking to myself, but this is what I ended up with, just in case anyone else fancies doing similar. The app is called "Set Orientation".

May i ask what app did you use to force landscape? Ty
"Set Orientation" - it's small, simple and free.
I am a very stupid Android noob. The Nova launcher allows you to force landscape (screen orientation is under "look & feel" in the Nova settings menu. No need for an app.

[PX5][Hal9k mod] Spotify/GoogleMaps - strange layout?!

Hi folks!
Yesterday I finally got my summer car back on the road again and for whatever reason the full-display apps are shown in a strange layout.
Especially Spotify and GoogleMaps in navigation mode look like the screen is used as 2 vertical displays next to each other rather than one big horizontal screen.
Normally the "now playing" bar from Spotify stretches over the whole screen, while the 3 main menus (startscreen, search and library)
are displayed beneath it.
GoogleMaps shows your position centered on the right half of the display while the overview and next action are centered on the right side.
Anyone got an Idea how to fix/change this?
TIA!
You could solve it. It happens exactly the same.
So far not - are you also using Hal9k Mod or the stock firmware?

Paying someone to get Torque Widgets on my Android 10 Homescreen

I recently Purchased a new Head Unit, Atoto S8 Ultra Gen 2.
I have connected Torque, but I want to add widgets to the homescreen, so that when the car starts, the gauges are already displayed.
I can get Torque to auto load on the Gauge page, but then I have to minimize to access other apps/radio.
I'm willing to pay someone to get the Torque Widgets working on my Home Screen (Android 10).
Please reach out to me if you can do this and we can discuss a price.
Any help appreciated!

I think you may have to look at a different solution than to add widgets to your current home screen. Have you thought about changing your home screen to be something that has the ability to add widgets to it vice trying to hack a unit, unlock and root it just to pull the home screen apk and modify the apk? May I suggest looking at Car Launcher app which will basically be a GUI over your current home screen which does allow for many different customizations. Hope this helps.

Hey buddy
Thank you for your reply.
I don't want to root this head unit as it will void my warranty.
I actually have purchased the Car Launcher Pro app, but how does that help me display Data from Torque?
I pretty much want my headunit to boot up and automatically display certain gauges from my Supra on the headunit.
On my last head unit I had the Torque app auto boot to the gauges page on Torque, but was hoping with this new Android 10 head unit I could do more!
The problem with booting straight into the app, is if you want to play music or do anything else, you have to press home to get out of Torque, then select something else, where as if the Torque widgets worked with Android 10, they would just be there on the home screen.
Willing to pay you for some help if you can get this working or have any others ways for me to get torque info on my headunit without having the app full screen
with the Car launcher app as your home screen, you can add all the widgets you want and have them all start up when the head unit starts up.
So you would have the head unit running Car Launcher app, then you would chose your them/layout. Modify that to add all your widgets to display on it. I already have this setup to my mirror.

I've got the headunit on a testing bench right now. I'll fire it up and give it a go.
If that works I'll be so happy, but so far every launcher I've tried, the "Widgets for Torque" app doesn't Display anything.. I believe it's a compatibility issue with Android 10.
You saying you've gotten widgets for torque working on Android 10 with Car Launcher?

I'm running Android 8.1 on that mirror not 10. I don't see how that would change the process though. This may help you out a bit
Yeah even with Android 9 it was working, but Android 10 seems to have stopped. Try it for yourself on an android 10 Unit

Nah I just double checked on 2 android 10 devices. Widgets for torque not working
I think I found your solution. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.prowl.torquedashboardplugin&hl=en_US&gl=US
This program just worked on my Android S10+ with Android 11
I will make you a quick video to show you what I just did.
You have to make sure that the Torque Pro app is open before you press the add widgets button.

This on top of your Car Launcher should be nice. Hope this helps.
