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 radios do the "right" job steering buttons and they work only in native applications recorder. To solve this problem, you can install the repeater LCF buttons for your particular model of recorder (to be found in a branch of your radio is on the forums). Then LCF buttons will be relayed in the media buttons android and interpreted by other programs. As research, mono CWG install a widget on the KeyCode screen, press the button and see the codes they send 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

Question: What is the difference between the Lite theme and the full theme?

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.

For example, I have an arrow of temperature, and Tork can display a digital value, very much used the testing of the thermostat every morning, monitoring the switching of the car to gas by the coolant temperature every morning, the pressure in the intake, etc. is also interesting.

I'll try to test on the balalaika, but it immediately saddens that there is no free space for widgets. Especially not where to stick. Tork constantly in the background running adapter original OBDLink. He falls asleep himself.

I will even add that 99% of the GU on Android uses its own firmware with its launcher. And the pure android there does not smell. Because This is GU, not a tablet.

Well, here you are bent, if a maximum of 30% with its shell and that is good. The State University on the MST process has a clean android (and this is a very large number of devices) and there someone who wants to
And then what other launchers are not satisfied? For example: Nova Launcher, GO Launcher, Z Launcher, Hola ... It has everything you need and skins and widgets, etc.
because these are monsters, with a bunch of settings / chips / buns / perdelok / whistles, in order to customize them, nerves and time are needed, and the user basically needs to set and forget. and it’s good that the SD afftors didn’t go in the wake of many, and I wish the author of this project did not overreact

Make it possible to change the root folder,

The root folder cannot be changed, but the folder selection depends on the player, to the better, to the launcher, if you twist the player, then screw the multi-combine, such as vlc, which eats everything absolutely, and any audio, and any video, but you can do it like in Karlauncher -starting the player from the shell, this is more correct, but also more laborious)) IMHO

Folder Options for Music
Now the program scans all root folders (on all possible but allowed flash drives) looking for the root folder/ Music - if it has music or folders with music, it adds them.
In principle, you can scan all root folders, not just/ Music .
If all folders are scanned, will it be better? Who stores where the music?
