Road recorder 2 (User guide)

Road recorder 2 is a real-time "time stamp" video recording program that can be plugged into the navigation map (not synthesized later), with three floating windows sizes (maximize/minimize/hide floating windows), and a changeable user interface (maximize floating windows)/customizable gesture function (minimize/hide floating windows).

"Maximize floating windows" can add buttons (either for APP or for displaying information) according to user habits to create your own control interface.

"Minimize floating windows" minimizes the currently displayed screen, so it can be easily attached to other programs (such as Google Maps) to achieve synchronized navigation and video monitoring functions.

"Hide floating windows" further limits the "Minimized floating windows" to the edge of the screen, making the display screen completely hidden, but still recording.

Regardless of "Maximize floating windows", "Minimize floating windows" or "Hide floating windows", you can record videos with the screen turned off.

"Minimize floating windows/Hide floating windows" has different gesture controls, which can be defined by users.

Instantly recorded "time stamps" can be immediately appended to the recorded video according to the user-defined pattern (not added after the recording is completed).

In addition, recording can be automatically triggered under specific conditions and user-defined actions can be performed (such as opening Google Maps).



Main features:

1. "Time stamp" recorded immediately, not added after the recording is completed.

2. Three sizes of floating windows.

3. Trigger execution, execute recording and start the program (such as Google Maps) at the same time.

4. Hidden recording video.

5. Split file/loop recording.

6. Displaying information (Maximize floating windows).

7. Extended buttons, editable user interface (Maximize floating windows).

8. Recording with the screen turned off.


Feature Setup/Demonstration (Video):

1. The display screen can be zoomed in and out at any time, and can be used as an auxiliary operation for Google Maps.

2. Switch "Maximize/Minimize/Hide floating windows".

3. Extended buttons, editable user interface (Maximize floating windows).

4. "Minimize/Hide floating windows", Gesture settings.

5. After clicking the program, the recording will be triggered immediately and Google Maps will be opened.

6. After unplugging the power, immediately stop recording, exit the program, and turn off the screen.

7. Feel free to adjust the "time stamp" position.

8. Rich "time stamp" editing interface.

9. Adjust volume/brightness by sliding the screen.


Required permissions:

1. Location

2. Storage

3. Camera

4. Microphone

5. Notifications

6. Display pop-up windows

-Otherwise, the main windows screen cannot be displayed normally.

7. Pop-up windows display in the background (Start in background)

-Otherwise the extended button cannot launch third-party APPs.

8. Battery saver - No restrictions

-Otherwise some functions will stop after a period of time.



Things to note:

1. For traffic safety, please do not operate while driving to avoid accidents.

2. The timestamp of the screen orientation in "portrait" or "landscape" can be set separately."

3. During the recording process, you cannot enter the "Settings" page and the screen orientation will be locked.

4. The effective time range of  "trigger execution " is within 5 seconds after the program is started.

5. While the program is running, please do not open third-party programs that use the "camera", otherwise it will cause an abnormal state.

6. In order to display correct data, the "GPS" and "address" in the timestamp will not be displayed until the satellite completes its positioning.

7. Devices of different brands may be equipped with unique "management programs", and the "background power consumption management" function inside requires "Road recorder 2" to be set to unlimited, otherwise it may cause the program to be forced to close suddenly."

Road recorder 2 使用說明

Road recorder 2 是可外掛於導航地圖的即時"時間戳記"錄影程式(不是之後合成的), 具有三種浮動視窗尺寸(最大化/最小化/隱藏動視窗), 以及可變更的使用者介面(最大化浮動視窗)/可自定義的手勢功能(最小化/隱藏動視窗).

"最大化浮動視窗"可依據使用者習慣加入按鈕(可以是APP也可以是顯示資訊), 打造屬於自己的控制介面.

"最小化浮動視窗", 將目前鏡頭顯示的畫面縮至最小, 方便附掛於其它程式(例如Google Maps), 達到同時導航及監控錄影的功能.

"隱藏動視窗", 進一步將"最小化浮動視窗"限縮在螢幕邊緣, 使得鏡頭顯示的畫面完全隱藏, 但仍在錄影狀態.

不管是"最大化浮動視窗"或"最小化動視窗"或"隱藏浮動視窗", 皆可在螢幕關閉下錄製影片.

"最小化浮動視窗/隱藏浮動視窗"擁有各自不同的手勢控制, 使用者可自行定義.

即時刻錄的"時間戳記"可依據使用者定義的樣式即時附加在錄製的影片中(不是在錄影結束後才加入).

另外在特定條件下可自動觸發錄影, 並執行使用者定義的動作(例如開啟Google Maps).

User guide (Ext settings)


According to the user's usual habits, different parameters for "screen brightness/volume/screen rotation/screen keep on" are set for different applications (APPs) to eliminate the hassle of adjusting them every time. For example, in the past, when opening YouTube, it was necessary to adjust the volume to the minimum and set the screen to landscape. After setting in Ext settings, YouTube will be automatically set up when opened.



  • Different parameters for "screen brightness/volume/screen rotation/keep screen on" are set for different applications (APPs) when opened.


  • Edge bar (on the edges of the screen, there are three gestures that can be set):

1. Swipe

2. Swipe - Back

3. Swipe - Hold

Note that when the screen is rotated to landscape, the "Edge bar" originally in the status bar will automatically move to the other side.



  • The icon for moving the control dialog can adjust its position.


  • When in an APP that does not meet the criteria, the icon of the control dialog will be displayed as translucent.



  • The programs (APP) that have set parameters for "screen brightness/volume/screen rotation/keep screen on" will be marked in the "program list".


  • There are two ways to mark to "program list":

1. Open the "Ext settings" configuration page, click "Program List", click the "+" symbol in the lower right corner, select the program to be controlled, set the parameters to be adjusted in the pop-up control dialog, and press OK to complete the setting.

2. First, open the program to be controlled (such as Youtube), then open the control dialog of Ext settings (defaultly slid out from the edge bar), set the parameters to be adjusted in the pop-up control dialog, and press OK to complete the setting.



  • Clicking on the message in the status bar will trigger the opening of the control dialog.



  • When the control dialog is open, the previously set pause once/hide once will be interrupted.



  • After pressing the "Temp" button in the control dialog, the set parameters will be restored to their original state when the control dialog is opened or another program (APP) is opened. Users can use this function to temporarily change various parameters such as "brightness/volume...". For example, the volume can be temporarily changed in YouTube, and after closing YouTube, the volume will return to the original parameter value. Or, if there is a need to temporarily keep the screen on, the "Temp" button can be used, which is simple and fast.



  • When none of the rotation buttons in the control dialog are selected, the screen rotation defaults to the system's current setting.



  • There are different control dialog themes to choose from.



  • The edge bar will display different colors in different states.



  • Pause once: Pause all the set parameter values until the control dialog is opened or another program (APP) is opened.



  • Hide once: Hide the edge bar until the control dialog is opened or another program (APP) is opened.



  • Important permissions used:

RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED - Permission for automatically starting this program (Ext settings) when the device is restarted.

SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW - Permission for displaying the edge bar on different programs (APPs), without this permission, it will not work properly..

PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS - Permission for this program to detect the currently opened program (APP) and apply different setting parameters, without this permission, it will not work properly..

GET_TASKS - Permission for this program to detect the currently opened program (APP) and apply different setting parameters (applicable to older Android OS).

QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES - Collect the available programs (APPs) for users to set different parameter values.




 

使用說明 (Ext settings)


配合使用者平時習慣, 針對不同的程式(APP), 設定個別不同的"螢幕亮度/音量/螢幕旋轉方向/螢幕保持開啟"參數, 省去每次都需要再調整的麻煩.
例如以往開啟Youtube時, 每次都需要將音量調整至最小值, 並設定螢幕為横向, 在Ext settings設置後, 開啟Youtube後將自動設置.


  • 不同的程式(APP), 擁有各自不同的"螢幕亮度/音量/螢幕旋轉方向/螢幕保持開啟"參數設定.


  • 側邊選單(在螢幕兩側邊緣, 有三種手勢可以設定) : 
1. 滑動
2. 滑動 - 返回
3. 滑動 - 停止不動
 
注意, 當螢幕旋轉為横向時, 原本會處於狀態列的側邊選單, 會自動移至另一側位置.



  • 拉動控制視窗的圖示, 可以調整位置.


  • 當處於不符合標記的程式(APP)時, 控制視窗的圖示將會顯示為半透明.



  • 針對已設定各別"螢幕亮度/音量/螢幕旋轉方向/螢幕保持開啟"參數的程式(APP), 會被標記在"程式列表"內.

  • 標記程式的方式有2種 :

1. 打開"Ext settings"設置頁面, 點選"程式列表", 點選右下角的 " + " 符號, 選取要控制的程式, 在彈出的控制視窗內設置要調整的參數, 按下OK就設定完成了.

2. 首先開啟要控制的程式(例如Youtube), 再開啟Ext settings的控制視窗(預設從側邊選單滑出), 在彈出的控制視窗內設置要調整的參數, 按下OK就設定完成了.



  • 點擊狀態列的訊息時, 會觸發開啟控制視窗.



  • 當控制視窗開啟時, 原本有設置暫停一下(pause once)/隱藏一次(hide once)會被中止.



  • 在控制視窗按下"臨時(Temp)"按鈕後, 設定的參數會在控制視窗被開啟或開啟另一程式(APP)後被回復為原來狀態, 使用者可以利用這功能暫時性的改變"亮度/音量...."各種參數. 例如: 在Youtube下可暫時改變音量, 關閉Youtube後, 音量會回復至原來的設定值. 或是有需要暫時"保持螢幕開啟"的時候, 利用"臨時(Temp)"按鈕, 簡單又快速, 不需要原來複雜的開啟及關閉步驟.



  • 控制視窗內的旋轉按鈕全都沒有被選取時, 螢幕旋轉預設為系統當時設定的狀態.



  • 有不同的控制視窗主題可供選擇


  • 當不同狀態下, 側邊選單會有不同顏色顯示.



  • 暫停一次(pause once) : 暫停所有設定參數值, 直到控制視窗開啟或開啟另一程式(APP).



  • 隱藏一次(hide once) : 隱藏側邊選單, 直到控制視窗開啟或開啟另一程式(APP).



  • 使用的重要權限 :

RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED - 當行動裝置重新啟動後, 自動啟動本程式(Ext settings)的權限.

SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW - 使側邊選單可以在不同程式(APP)上顯示的權限, 沒有允許這個權限, 將無法正常動作.

PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS - 可以讓本程式偵測現在開啟的程式(APP), 並使用不同的設定參數來套用, 沒有允許這個權限, 將無法正常動作.

GET_TASKS 可以讓本程式偵測現在開啟的程式(APP), 並使用不同的設定參數來套用(適用舊版Android OS).

QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES - 收集可使用的程式(APP)提供給使用者設定不同的參數值.
