Short description:
CarWebGuru Launcher is a smart launcher for a car with support for themes, widgets, background pictures, desktops, and system player management.
Description
Multifunctional center for car: car launcher with widget support, GPS logger and travel calendar, a set of stylish large speedometers, music player with search, logo and background image selection and much more. Choose a style and color for your car! Customize the widgets exactly as you need! Enjoy driving!

The program can create multiple desktops and each set their own skin. All the buttons in the skins are custom widgets, if you wish, you can delete or change them. After installation, several popular skins are available to you, clicking on the logo button opens the TOOLS window where you can add a widget or change the skin. The program is designed to work in the car with the Android system, but if you wish, you can install it on a smartphone or tablet.


How to support the project
Tell the program about other people, take a screenshot of the trip (long click on the logo) share in social networks. Write a small review on drive2.ru, a video review on youtube or on other sites or forums. The larger the community we have, the better the program!

Useful reviews descriptions, videos from other sites:
FAQ- Instructions, Questions and Answerson versions of the 2.xx line - read before using the program
1) How to change the theme (skin)?
Click on the button with the logo (TOOLS window). If there is no button with the logo, then swipe from the bottom up. Next, "Ask a Topic."

2) How to put the logo of your car?
Go to the settings, select the manufacturer. Logos are not for everyone. Starting from version 2.54 you can add your own logos in the form of PNG files. When choosing a logo - the program writes the full name of the folder for the PNG logo. Copy your logo in this folder and they will appear there. Square PNGs with transparency are supported; optimal resolution is 250x250 or 350x350.

3) How to remove the circle under the logo?
In the settings there is an item - disable the circle under the logo.In new versions, the interface is changed, this function is no longer used.

4) How to choose another music player?
A long click on the Play button opens a dialog with a player selection. There appear only those players who have registered in the system according to standards for players. Not all players support management and data transfer functions (time, titles, rewind). Most popular players: Poweamp, Jetaudio, AIMP

5) What are the features for long clicks?
Long clicks start "similar" functions. Here is a small list:
>Settings - System Settings
>Satellite widget - GPS settings
>WiFi widget - WIFI settings
>Bluetooth widget - Bluetooth settings
>Clock - system clock;
>Calendar - system calendar
>Brightness Mode Widget - Screen Settings
>Play button - player selection
>Logo Button - Screenshot
>On the program shortcut - Delete shortcut (in the main window)
>On the program shortcut - Uninstall a program (in the window of all applications)

6) How to change the action on the button?
All program buttons are mini widgets. You need to go to the TOOLS window and click the "Add widget" button, then select which button to replace. Next, select the desired action or shortcut to the program.

7) Does the volume control on the radio tape recorder not work?
Go to "Settings / program", activate the item "Automatic detection of MCU radio". If after that the volume is not regulated, then your car stereo is not yet supported. The program has a built-in API, I invite developers to collaborate and add other tape recorders.

8) How to get to the TOOLS window?
There are several ways:
* Click on the button with LOGO
* Swipe the screen from bottom to top

9) Why not all buttons can be renamed or change the icon?
The program has many dynamic widgets, such as: address, clock, speed, mileage ... They change the data in the background to rename them does not make sense. Similarly with icons - there are widgets with several states (Play \ Pause, WiFi, timers ...) that dynamically change the icons from their state because of which the icon change is blocked by them.

10) I do not adjust the screen brightness with the program buttons
Go to Settings / Program and activate the item "Alternative way to change the brightness." Try changing the brightness. If after that the brightness is not regulated, then your device is not yet supported.

11) Often the address widget does not work, because of the limit of calls!
You can add your own key from the Google Maps API. This way you will avoid outages due to exceeding the number of requests for the free API embedded in the program.

12) How to get your key for google maps?
The key can be obtained free of charge on the Google website. To do this, you need to have a Google account. Type in Google search for the phrase "how to get a key for google maps" - and follow the instructions. The key looks like a character set, like this: AIzqewBghkmfD5t6w3NwcsC4ZrfvT0kLWyhnxFQ (this is not a key, but just symbols :)
How to check the key on the computerread here. Similarly for the weather likeget the key described here.

13) How to add your key for Google Maps API to CWG?
You need to create a text file, put your key from the API cards in it and save it in a special folder. The file name should be: googlemap.txt Copy and place your key into this file, and then place the file in the folder that is located in the root of your device. As a result, the full file name should be: /CarWebGuru/keys/googlemap.txt
Restart the program and your key will be used in the future. I draw your attention that you do not need to create the / CarWebGuru / keys / folders, you need to find them, they already exist on your device. Usually at the root of an embedded flash card.

14) In the settings there is a speech synthesis, but the program does not speak.
For the pronunciation of phrases used event system. Detailed description of how to add phrases and eventshere. Goodvideo on setting and voicing of events here.

15) Why are not visible all the programs from the firmware of the radio?
Some programs are not separate programs. For example, it can be a shortcut or link to a specific part in another APK or a link to the system library. Because of this, they are not visible. For example - most of the programs in the radio are made in this way and are not visible (camera, recorder, built-in player, conductor, bluetooth, etc.). There are several solutions.
Method 1 Go to the CWG application, and find the application from the radio and click on it with a long click. There will be a menu with the item "Explore \ Explore" click and see a list of what can be run inside this APK. If it did not help, then your "applications" could be hidden or system. Then only creation of separate APK launchers for each hidden application will help. These mini APK need to look in the branch of your radio, there may be such a discussion.

16) Radio vertical orientation, the theme says that the orientation is not supported
Please note that some themes have mini icons ("H" - Horizontal, "V" - Vertical, "SW" - Super wide), which indicate the orientation supported by the theme. You need a theme with a vertical orientation and a marker "V", look for example themes: Mediabox, Vinyl, Road, Curve, Big Widget ... Over time, the number of vertical themes increases. If there are no markers, then the theme only supports the horizontal orientation "H".

17) How to find and send the system error log?
The system log of errors and departures of all programs is here:/ data / system / dropbox / In order not to interfere with other logs, you need to delete the logs, then run the CWG, cause an error, then see the log or send it to me. The log is a text file, with a list of the most recently performed functions before a crash.

18) How to use the navigation widget?
This technology works on Android 5 and higher. Navigators are supported: Yandex Navigator, Yandex maps, Google Maps. To use, just go to the navigator, build an active route and go back to the CWG. You must have enabled system notifications in the status bar.

19) Steering buttons do not work
Often manufacturers Magnittol do not "proper" operation of the steering buttons and they work only in native radio applications. To solve this problem, you can set the MCU repeater buttons for your model of the radio (you need to search in the branch of your magneto on the forums). After that, the MCU buttons will be relayed in the Android media buttons and be understood by other programs. As a study, mono install CWG widgets on the Keycode screen, press the buttons and see send codes or not.

20) How to display information about the radio?
The radio usually works through the MCU radio and information about it is not available to other programs. APi is built into the CWG and I invite interested people with Java programming knowledge to connect other receivers.

21) When the State opens a menu of advanced system settings

FAQ- Instructions, Questions and Answerson versions of the 1.xx line - read before using the program

Do not forget to thank the user* LoDss for compiling this list of questions and answers!

1) A long press on the "Play" button changes the play mode to random mode

2) Clicking on a song name opens the folder / song selection window.

3) How to make to adjust one background image and that it does not change? - In the upper right corner, the "Tools" button, in its settings (Options), in the "Background" settings - and the best resolution for your screen is indicated for reference. This button is for setting your picture from the photo gallery.

4) When I click on this Background button, the program crashes. - No system gallery installed. Install any

5) How to remove a widget? - Long click on the widget.

6) Removed the third-party program, and the widget is empty Title remained. You need to delete the usual way - a long click. According to reviews on some systems, a long click is not deleted. The problem has not been solved yet.

7) When you click on the auto logo - it shows an empty desktop and this multispeedometer "leaves" to the left, it will be possible to put and display the necessary programs or widgets - or is it a conceived screensaver? - At the moment, the functionality is not implemented.

8) Additional speedometer function. The upper arc allows you to adjust the volume, the lower arc sets the time position of the playing track. At the moment, not all GU (car audio) supports volume control.

9) Is it possible to swap widgets and labels themselves? - Now you need to remove all the widgets and add in the order you need.

10) Launch music at the start. The first launch always finds and starts playing music. The rest starts - depending on the status at the end of the service. If he played, he will start to play; if he was on pause, he will not. If there was a correct exit from the program, then it will remember the state. If not correct, then no. If you click on exit from the program - a long click, then the state will be remembered forcibly.

11) I would like the "Back" or "Home" button in all windows - If you see the "House" icon, this is the button. And some of the windows themselves close in 15 seconds if nothing is done (the window of music files and the window of the tool - tools).

12) Is it possible to remove the speed chart? - You can not remove. I work on new skins - there will be different skins without graphics and without speed.

13) I did not find the TOOLS button, I was picking for 20 minutes - In the upper right corner a button with dices without text - I call it "Tools".

14) What will happen if all the songs in this folder are played? - The current folder will play again. So far, the only way is that complex folders will be searched later.

15) That shows the second (small) dial. - Current mileage. One turn = 1 km. Small figure - the number of kilometers (circles).

16) To change the speedometer - press the center of the speedometer.

17) Exit the program: Tools / Close program, Full exit with stopping all services - long click on: Tools / Close program.

18) A long click on the Tools button is the launcher of all installed applications.

19) Long click on TIME - opens the system clock.

20) Long click on the CALENDAR - opens the system calendar.

21) A long click on SETTINGS - opens the system settings.

22) Long click on the logo - creating a screenshot.

23) Where the program is looking for music - The current version scans all available flash drives and folders. If there are music files in the folder, the folder is added to the list.

24) How to exclude a folder with music files - In order to prevent the system from searching for media files (for example, navigator sounds) in some folders, create an empty file in these folders named ".nomedia" (without quotes).

25) What is a "travel calendar"? In the Tools menu, you can go to the travel calendar and see all your trips for the current month. History is stored locally (offline). If you are viewing in offline mode - you will see only the tracks of the trips. If you are browsing online, a Google map will be superimposed. In the menu on the left, you can export the track or delete it for the current day.

How to report a problem to the CWG
Unfortunately, the psychic is now on vacation and you have to describe the problems yourself in the following form:
1) Description of the problem and how to reproduce it (preferably in steps)
2) Version of the program (settings window, about the program)
3) basic information about your device: Device (smartphone, tablet, radio ...). Android version, amount of RAM memory and screen resolution.
4) If the problem is related to any special module, then describe it. For example: GPS is connected via USB, not built-in .. etc.
5) If in your opinion it helps - you can attach a photo, screenshot or video. (for example, via Google or Yandex disk)
6) Log helps well. The system log of errors and departures of all programs is here:/ data / system / dropbox / In order not to interfere with other logs, you need to delete the logs, then run the CWG, cause an error, then see the log or send it to me. The log is a text file, with a list of the most recently performed functions before a crash.

If there is a desire and time to help sort out your problem, then indicate whether you are ready to test additional builds.

Button mod friendly buttons with third-party players (RA, and some others.)
In the CWG, they work but only after restarting the latter.

In the native player from the firmware, in PowerAmp, in JetAudio, in the program for audiobooks. Everywhere the steering buttons work correctly.

This trouble was on previous versions. I ran into her another 2.68

Prompt the name of the application from the last screenshot. A year ago, something like that tried to run, but failed and scored.

Prompt the name of the application from the last screenshot.

This is not an application, but the usual multi-color mode (and if you are accurate - the pop-up window mode) Made on the smartphone with the version of Android 7.1.1. Just on a smartphone android full and starting with Weuzia 7.1.1 this can be launched. On the tablete it turned out only 2 windows, although the size of the halves changed. At the Son, the son with Anhid 8.0 could not run at all. Therefore, the conclusion is on the gu android cut down. And everyone in different ways. Someone will turn out to split the screen, and someone does not. By the way, about 2 years already. Then, naive, I also asked to do something like this in CWG, but Denis immediately drove my dreams.

Rep: (3)
Gentlemen, you are all right plus / minus. One thing is clear, such a separation is possible, and depends on the implementation of a specific android in the radio. My radio is able to divide the screen into several parts, even knows how to turn on pop-up windows, as in the third screenshot* svoboda120 I just don’t see running CWG applications in the manager. Accordingly, I can not do with it any manipulations. But it is, Wishlist from the category of "well, now perfect, nothing else is needed."
The main problem in switching tracks. :(

Rep: (159)
svoboda120 @ 06/19/19, 00:03*
Therefore, the conclusion is that the Android is cut down on the GU. And all in different ways.

I, for example, have SGS7 edge on the drain, nothing is trimmed there. And there the CWG is also not visible among the latter. As I wrote above, a software developer (in this case, a launcher) can take care of this visibility. Logically, there is nothing for the launcher to do there. But some firmware / devices, nevertheless, display it and, accordingly, the launcher becomes available for display in the window. This does not contradict the above.

Gentlemen, so that it is displayed in the dispatcher running, you need to have another launcher by default and then if you run cwg, then in the dispatcher it will be visible as a running application !!!

Rep: (159)
In fact, the idea is not bad - to enable the CWG to display applications not in full screen, but inside the shell. It will be like a native GU. For example, I have on SYNC3 - navigation in my window, and around the music / climate / seat massage control button ... But this is hardly applicable to the shell on Android, until there is support for the periphery.

Rep: (104)
* VOVA-33,
Well, judging by the branch, not at all!
The thing is that in the widget, as I understand it, only gugmapsss can work !!!
Here you need to request Yandex and Navigation so that their maps in widgets work !!! Well, all the rest ...
Or it is necessary that the developer made a mask on the main slave table, with a transparent area where navigation is displayed, according to the Screen Filter type! Or the ability to set live wallpapers on your themes !!!, and we will edit as we need !!!!
Not correctly written, mask on top of the running application ...
With, already, the ability to customize this widget mask ...
It seems that the feature of the OS, does not give such an opportunity, but maybe not, in short, a topic for reflection ... Ie
Launch Navi., And on top of this picture, we impose a window with active buttons (widgets)
SOMETHING LIKE THIS!!!
Maybe not right, I do not know, but as an option ...

So why don’t I see a bunch of launchers who are doing IT,
It displays traffic jams, and even more so the route ????????
Why is the best thing that I see is google maps with the situation of traffic jams in one launcher, and I see products that I like that follow the current notifications in the blind and show arrows during maneuvers ???
