Radio App which allows 'naming' of stations? - Android Head-Units

My radio app supports RDS, but I'd love to be able to properly favorite stations and name them, e.g. 101.1 = KWXX FM etc, that kind of thing. I can hardly remember what random number is what... Any ideas of a FM app that will do this?

what device? board? somewhere you can edit the name, somewhere save according to rds. it saves me according to rds

Use NAVRADIO+ if your unit supports this app, install lite version from playstore and see

Honestly not sure, I've tried to find out but can't identify it. That is the radio app I'm using though. Where are you saving, or does it do it automatically? I can see RDS at the top, but it doesn't appear in the list at the bottom.
I kind of want to somehow be able to 'save' stations w/ names that I like. The "Search" picks up things so close to one-another that I end up with say 91.1, 91.3 etc, but 91.3 is just a distorted version of 91.1 and then I can't delete it

add info about the system. add a photo of the radio application. I add info about my system. rds automatically loads and saves the station name. if not loaded, rds stores only the frequency

Sadly that one isn't compatible.. it looks great otherwise!

Using Android studio and some java knowledge you can do it yourself. Decompose UI extract radio app and mod it. And then compress it all back again.

try to play the firmware or there are different mods of the radio app, but to change the app you need the root system, it is still not sure if they will work with the fm chip

Eonon GA2168K Radio app and Nova launcher issue

Hello all, I just purchased and installed an Eonon GA2168K 10.1" LCD Android head unit. The stock launcher on this unit is terrible. I've installed Nova launcher and everything looks much better now. The issue I'm having is that the stock radio app is nowhere to be found however when I go back back to stock launcher, it is there. Not sure why it's not available in Nova. Has anybody else experienced this problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Yes it is because it is a custom function for the head unit, so standard launchers can't see it.
Give FCC Car Launcher a try - it's great and should hopefully work for you
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried FCC and still no radio. My old Eonon Android unit on 4.4 didn't do this. I have also noticed that this is a very limited version of Android e.g., missing all the settings in the top drop down menu. Hopefully someone is working on a custom ROM for this unit. I really don't want to use the stock launcher.

Yeah your old one would have been a MTCB with Rockchip manufactured by Klyde - this one is basically a completely different software developer and manufacturer.
What is the MCU version out of interest?
Mcu: Ts907.180712
I've also purchased this same unit. I'v tried a bunch of different launchers and all are no go for the radio app. Really driving me crazy that I can't use other launchers without losing the stock radio functionality.

Good to hear I'm not the only one but sucks at the same time. Though I was starting to worry because I bought this unit refurbished and the software was all screwed up when I got it. It had Apex launcher installed along with a bunch of other non stock apps. These were presumably installed by the the original purchaser and Eonon didn't even bother to reset to factory settings which is something I still have not figured out how to do.
Is your drop down menu bare like mine? Mine only shows the WiFi connection.
Bluetooth is very disappointing too, can't connect anything like bluetooth headphones or a keyboard as it does not show an option to search for devices.
This is not the true android experience I was hoping for.
Ya, mine only has wifi listed in drop-down. I can connect to Bluetooth with my phone just have to go into settings menu. I like the unit, but the custom firmware and launcher that it comes with is kinda garbage. I did get in contact with the seller for the newest update, but it still has issues. Mine has the same radio app issue you described with custom launchers and will not keep a radio preset name. I can set a preset, but as soon as I select another staion whatever is displayed gets saved as that preset name on the channel I was switching from. I did update to the newest 2/21/2019 update, but my unit still has the same bugs. I bought mine through Amazon and I'm pretty sure I'm going to return it as it was not describes as published. This unit could be awesome if it had a better firmware installed on it. I can dump the firmware if anyone wants to take a look at it and possibly fix it's shortcomings.

I just installed a GA2168K yesterday in my 2006 GTO.
A couple things I noteced... I noticed in the included harness adapter is they have constant battery power and accessory power swapped.
Installed it with their R0008 dash cam that came with it. No DVR app. Finally found the main config menu (hidden by password 8888) and enabled DVR.
It does not detect the camera. it works fine with my GA2170. Went to their website and was looking to see if they had a different camera available, and that is the only one. However, on the R0008 camera product page it gives a list of HU's it isn't compatible with, and the GA2168K is one of those. Sent support an email, hopefully will have an answer Monday on that. The other frustration is that half the settings they show in the user manual and online, aren't showing up in the actual menu's. Hoping they can send me a newer Firmware/OS that enables those... And finally, there is no seperate control for subwoofer like there was in the GA2170 Looks like I need to buy the remote amp level control and run a new cable to the trunk
I also need to add that it is advertised as having 18 FM radio presets and 12 AM presets.
Mine is only storing 6 of each and just goes back to the beginning...
Mine has the 18 fm presets and 12 am. Just have to hit the Fm or am button to go to the next set. As for the DVR cam, I remember reading that it wasn't compatible with DVR cams in the Amazon description where I purchased mine. Specifically list the r0008.
So problems I've noticed so far. I've updated to the latest firmware provided by Eonon support.
The addition of a screen off button is nice, but the brightness settings for auto brightness are still to bright at night. I really wish they would include a brightness slider. Maybe a lower setting on the nite slider.
My wifi does not automatically connect to my phone when i turn on my hot spot. I have to manually go into wifi settings for it to start searching for a signal.
My radio presets will not save properly. They only save what is listed when I change the station. Becomes really annoying since it save whatever song data is displayed. I really would like a way to add a custom name to stations so that it doesn't just save the radio data displayed.
I also really wish I could use the radio app with another launcher like Nova. The radio app contains all the speaker adjustment controls and equaliser settings.
Edit: this is the response I got from Eonon after sending them a similar email for their developer to hopefully look into and correct some of the quirks of the firmware on this head unit for a future update.
Hi,
1, regarding the brightness, currently can not be set lower.
2. Because the WIFI hotspot of the mobile phone will automatically enter the hibernation state after being connected for a long time, when the machine is started again, the WIFI hotspot of the mobile phone is not detected. At this time, it is necessary to manually activate the WIFI hotspot to connect, we cannot change this..
3, currently does not support the storage method you said, thank you for your advice!
4. This is a problem with APP compatibility. There is no way to solve it.
Thank u so much!
Vera
Hmmmm......?
If someone wanted to work on a ROM for this headunit I'm sure I could figure out how to dump it. This head unit has some great potential but has some flaws that I wish the companies devs would fix.

I have the GA9163K (the Mazda version) of this head unit. Apparently the K versions of this model, which generally come with Android 8.1.0, do not support front camera/dvr function. That's what the EONON rep told me anyway.
On my unit, in the advanced menu (code 8888) it had options to change the number of presets on each band and could be selected between 6, 12 or 18 presets on FM and 6 or 12 on AM. It also had the option to enable OT frequency, but not sure what that is as we do not use that here.
Dears,
anybody tried Eonon GA2178 - 10" Android 9 Head Unit?
I'm actually on Eonon GA2168K - 10" Android 8 Head Unit, it's a good device with minor problems.
Anytime developers fix a problem they introduce an other problem and there's no community support for MTK chipsets.
Because of this I'm evaluating the new Eonon GA2178, that is quite similar but based on Rockchip chipset.
Tks!
I found a solution to eonon with no radio,
I installed the GA2180A eonon unit last week and changed the launcher to the paid version of Car launcher by apps lab studio and found the same issue, no radio.
I was able edit the theme and create a widget with 'KWGT Kustom Widget Maker' that basically displayed a picture, I used an radio clipart png file i found with google image search and set the action when clicking the widget to run the Radio activity inside the app installed called com.ts.MainUI8. Your app and activity may be slightly different to mine. I do own the pro key for KWGT, but I don't think that matters.
This is my first post so the system won't allow me to post the google drive link to my custom widget. Feel free to message me for it. It would need modification too.
Depending on the rom installed in yours you may be able to use something like 'Activity Launcher' by Adam Szalkowski to create a shortcut directly to the activity. This is a much easier than the first option, but some roms have the ability to create shortcuts turned off. Mine did so I found widget work around.
The above could easily be adapted to launch other internal activities beside the radio.
Happy to provide more info if I'm not clear. Good luck!

[email protected]
I also have an eonon and would love to get some information [email protected]
I have an UGAR 9 in (model 8227L). It's running Android 9. And has a clunky stock user interface. I used Nova Launcher and "quickshortcutmaker" to create shortcuts to the stock apps that did not show up in my app drawer. Namely the AV-IN and radio apps. So I got that all working pretty well. However, I have not been able to figure out how to get the upper status bar to remain visible. It hides itself after one or two seconds. If you have figured out how to keep the status bar from hiding please let me know. Thank you much

Online Radio app specifically designed for android head units

We have developed an online radio app specifically for android head units, becasue the fm radio of the china devices are mostly utter crap.
We extend the country and station list continuously, but if you want us to add a specific country and/or your favorite station, drop us an email.
You find the app here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.threedmagic.carradio
UPDATE:
We updated the app.
Beside many small bugfixes we added RDS/Playing Now display, which means, you will see the actually played song's artist and title and any data the station is sending with the stream.
Available only where the station actually provide the data!
Is it possible to chance the app so it can use the FM antenna from the car instead of online data
It is impossible to create an offline radio for Android without hacking the OS!
All apps on the Play Store that claim to be offline FM radios, are scam!

Thank you.
We will look at it and test it.
We spent weeks for trying to figure out, how to create an FM radio app with the current Joying systems and current tuner chips and it wasn't possible.
At least not without a huge amount of reverse engineering and hacking and we decided that it is not worth to create an app that can be used only with a few devices and which can break with a single update of the OS or part of it.
Maybe we missed something.
If we can figure it out based on this app, we will think about making it offline as well.

Yeah, I tried both of those apps now and none of them worked.
That NavRadio+ works with one specific firmware based on the developer's explanation, which seems to be a very old firmware used by a handful of unknown radio manufacturers and not used by the biggest producer of Android Head Units called Joying.
It doesn't even open on a Joying device.
The other one is simply a piece of crap that opens, but can't do anything.

I have a SC9853I Octa Core processor in my device, but the processor has nothing to do with anything.
The Radio Tuner chip is what it is about.
The newest radios have the chip TEF6686 and the older ones have the TDA7786.
There is no way to control the radio chip. Period.
I had a dozen Android Radios before this.
You don't even get my actual radio anymore, because the market develops so fast.
The old devices are sold and nobody cares for them anymore and exactly this is the point.
You would need to hack the OS for every generation of every manufacturer separately.
Nobody will do the work even if it is possible somehow, until Google creates an API or a plugin or whatever.

All these units have the TEF6686 or the TDA7786 radio chip (i.e. my Xtrons has the TEF6686). The radio chip is controlled by the MCU that interface the Radio android app. To develop an Off Line Radio app, you need to know which informations/commands are exchanged between the MCU and the Android app, if you don't have this knowledge, you will never be able to develop an off line radio app. Period!
In this forum, several user has this ability and developed lot of alternative off line radios. This is confirmed by the huge number of people here using these app on their units.
There's no room for language and any kind of disrespect in discussions on XDA. You can disagree and still be civil. :good:

Hello. I have been using your app for a few days now and it is great. Great work!
I just have a question and a suggestion.
Question: Would it be possible to make your app launch automatically and play in the background when I turn my key, like the stock offline radio app does? This seems fairly easy and I'm sure there must be a way, I am probably missing something...
Suggestion: Would it be at all possible to make a way for users to add their own stations, without the need to bother you? I don't mean add them to everyone, just add them to my own head unit.

I am glad that you like the app.
The app starts automatically when the head unit starts if you didn't close the app manually before. You need to check the settings in your device.
Adding stations only for yourself was something we were thinking about, but we skipped the idea.
Please bother us with station requests.
We have a long queue right now, but we are working on it intensively, so it shouldn't take too long to get your stations.
If you write an email to us, you will get the stations even faster.

Why do you add stations manually (on request)?
You could get stations from here:
radio-browser.info
www.radio-browser.info
There is also an API for app integration

Please read the description of the app on the play store to learn what stations we add to the app.
You can find dozens of radio apps on the playstore which have thousands of useless channels and playlists to wade through.

Klyde KD-1280 android tesla style head unit.

Hi,
I have bought one of these, installed it ok with the limited instructions that came with it.
Does anyone know if there is a Klyne website with a download feature to download a user manual please.
I am particularly interested in the built in pre loaded radio tuner app, and how to save a radio station to favourites. I have tried all sorts, cant figure out how to store a channel / station into memory.
Thanks.
Anthony.

unfortunately you can't change the standard radio app (so you can start it via the "radio" button).
I prefer DAB+ and use an app called dab-z

Carwebguru question please

Hi there I have just installed an XTRONS Android head into my Audi A4 B7. It's all working nicely but the stock launcher home page is a bit naff, but it had all the functions and apps easily accessible including the normal off line AM FM radio. So I decided to download carwebguru yesterday (latest version) but I have no way to see or use the radio function. I have installed DAB and it's working fine but no way to open the normal radio which was built in. I have programmed all the buttons on home screen but nothing opens up for AM FM radio. I don't want to download an app because of stupid advertising. Could any one enlighten me how to open the AM FM built in radio application please? Cheers.
same problem on my erisin car stereo android 10 .....Any help please
I also have an Erisin in my Crafter van, Exactly the same problem with any Launcher I download, no way to allocate the radio button to the Native FM radio. Yet the Native Launcher opens the FM radio just fine...
15) Why are not all programs from the radio firmware visible?
Some programs are not separate programs. For example, it could be a shortcut or link to a specific part in another APK, or a link to a 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 appear a menu with the item "Explore \ Explore" click and see a list of what can be launched inside this APK. If that didn't help, then your "applications" could be hidden or systemic. Then only creating separate APK launchers for each hidden application will help. You need to look for such mini APKs in the branch of your radio, they can discuss this there.

Problem with access to analog radio and phone with a new car launcher.

Hello,
I have this unit: YUNTX Android 10 Autoradio - [4G+64G] - [Integrado CarPlay/Android Auto/DSP/GPS] - Octa Core (https://www.amazon.es/dp/B08XM7C5BR?tag=nextauto-21&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1 ). In BT it appears as AWC5847
I have installed a new launcher (Agama) in the car radio unit, because it is a more powerful and configurable launcher that the original that comes with the unit.
And i have 2 problems (in fact, one problem in 2 applications).
I have installed the Agama app and I cannot use neather the analog radio FM nor the Phone whit Agama. If i assign Radio FM application to the Agama radio button, when i push the button nothing happens and the FM radio of my stereo car device is not started. The same with Phone application.
It seems like if Agama cannot manage the built in applications of my DIN2 stereo device, only the Android aplications.
I have a shortcut for radio and another shortcut for phone in applications wardrobe, but if i assign it to one of the launcher button, it does not do nothing, the radio or Phone is not openned.
If i push my steering wheel radio or Phone button, it works; if i push the button of the original launcher that comes with the unit, it works, but it does not work with the launcher. It is like the original launcher block the radio and the Phone, unless i have put the new launcher as the default launcher.
If i download an alternative application (like Navradio+ or True Dialer), it is a partial solution, because the application starts with the launcher button, but i cannot manage it with the steering wheel buttons, like if the steering wheel buttons for radio and Phone were Block by the system launcher application.
1. Is it a normal problem? How can i solve it?
2. How can i manage the car stereo unit sytem builtin applications (basically, analog radio and phone) with Agama launcher, like i manage the others applications?
3. I dont know if i have root access to the unit. But if not, please could you tell me how can I have root access to the car unit?
Thank you.
Best regards.

To help you in any way... you need to give some useful information about your new unit.
We need to know :
MCU version of the unit
CPU installed.
Additionally: There are already tons of threads for this particular Launcher,
Thank you for your answer.
I attach a protocolo with my car unit details
Hardware: AC8257 8 core 4 GB 64 GB ROM LPDDR4 1024x600

Well Agama lacks of the ability to start system-apps as FM and player as they are started internally in the system app.
You can´t do a lot...
FM can most problably started with Tasker, but you need to find the correct app call in Tasker. Then you may be able to add a button in Agama for FM.
The phone is most probably the same, but not that easy.
There could be a chance in future that you are able to get another ROM installed: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-px6-mcu-stm32-rk3399-with-android-9.4111653/ but Malaysk just has one for Android 9, not for Android 10.... but there are rumors that he is working on it.... You may ask him?!?

Thanks a lot.
I have seen that for other devices there are apks for radio, phone, ... (For_Launchers.zip with radio.apk, phone.apk, navigator.apk, ...) that are installed like any apk on the device and allow the use of the native built-in radio, telephone, ... of the device in third-party launchers. For example here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/car-launcher-ag.3672779/page-15#post-86494267
Am I right?
Is it possible for my device?

You could try Fcc Car launcher first in the free version.
It could be possible that Fcc can help out there... at least a try would shed some light, right?
AGAMA would not fix that.

I am trying with FCC too, but the problem is the same.
I think that the solution is to have Radio.apk and Phone.apk for my unit, as those that i put in my previous message but for my radio car unit
You don´t get an apk for both... They are part of the system.apk and you can not get any other apk to connect to the radio or phone.
Don´t even think about any similarities to a phone or tablet.... Android car radios are completely different.

Why in this case this apk are provided and they work?

Try it...
I have tried it a few days ago and it doesn´t work, because these apks are for another device, not for my device.
For this reason, I was trying to get the right apks for my device.

As I wrote already... FM and Phone are not separate apps on most of the units. They are implemented in the system.apk (or however it is called on your device) itself and just called internally by internal requests. May be you can use Tasker to find the correct requests, but I would not bet on that. I even don´t know if it is possible to call Tasker tasks in your preferred launcher. I know that it is possible in Fcc.
Yes, I am trying with Tasker, but, until now, I am not able to identify the Applications that opens Radio, and Phone, to put them in a Tasker task.
Thanks

Use application QuickShortcutMaker to identify and test the activities.
