I hope than 1psi has been released from the passenger front.I'm a Mach-E owner and member of the Mach-E forums, and inspired by @tonesto7 and others made an Android widget for my car. Over the weekend someone from this forum reached out to me about supporting the F-150. They'd tried my app with their truck and most things worked, but obviously since I wrote it specifically for my car some things didn't work. We've traded information a few times and last night I made some mods for preliminary support:
From a support standpoint, I see two hurdles immediately:
I plan to commit a version in the next day or two, and I'll post here that happens.
- Graphics. There are many variants of the F-150, and so far I've only located the free 2-door image above. I need help locating free images for those other variants. Otherwise everyone is stuck with the above image.
- Testing. There's only so much I can do without access to a truck myself to test new features. The easiest thing (for me) would be for some users to voluntarily let me sync my FordPass with their vehicle. This would just give me access to info on the vehicle, not access to anyone's Ford account. The alternative is for some tech-savvy users to capture JSON output and forward to me so I can use as test data.
Weird. I got the notification and updated just fine.
That worked... and Odd..... but either way. I can now see the "manage vehicles" and the 2 extra widgets......Looking great, man!
it bugs me that it's not centered...LOL
Sorry, missed this post.One question. on the smaller widgets, how do I swap between vehicles?
on the medium sized one I tried the name, but it just opened the info screen.
edit: Feature request. Make the 4x2 resizable to at least 5x2
Sweet on the double click.
You can set "Time between widget updates" to the minimum (5 min) without much impact on the phone battery. If you mean force a refresh from the truck, the only thing you can do right now is enable '"Force updates".
