Android widget

Version 2022.07.11 just uploaded to GitHub and (soon) to Play Store. There's been a beta version for the Mach-E floating around for a week, but it took a while to get all the other vehicles (except the Raptor) .

To use, you need to turn on "Enable color display of vehicle" in Settings. An entry will then appear in the three-dot menu for "Set Vehicle Color", which will open a new activity for you to choose the color (if you have multiple vehicles, you need to select the correct VIN first).

When you click "Save" the info is stored in the database.

Maybe in a future version we can just get a drop down list of Ford colors. No idea how you'd do that though lol

I'm planning to look info scanning the car's image that's already being used in the full-size widget.

Any reason why my 21 Expedition shows the plug-in icon and the hvb status bar?

Probably because the widget doesn't support the Expedition? Because maybe no Expedition owners said "hey, what about..."

Oh, that's a pretty good reason lol.

When I logged in it automatically pulled up my F150 and the Expedition. Then I thought hot damn, didn't know the Expedition could be plugged in

Need a little help... I'd like to automate the vehicle color selection using the images downloaded of the vehicle from Ford's servers, or at least make an approximate first guess. To do so I need other image samples.

If you'd like to contribute, I've created a new issue on GitHub to gather images. First, your phone needs to be rooted (because that's the only way to get the images). Next, check there to see if someone with the same color vehicle has already uploaded an image (and I need regular/supercab/supercrew images too). If not, follow the instruction in the first post for the issue to locate the image and upload it.

Not sure if you have my settings, but if you do, feel free to use to get the images for my 2 vehicles. I'm still on a temp phone until I can set up my replacement phone.

Yes, I've got yours . Thanks.

My phone is not rooted, and I wanted to help, so out of curiosity, I went into the configurator and was able to download a very similar image of your Mach E like you had in GitHub.

My 2021 F150 XLT is a Velocity Blue, and no longer available, but back when I was purchasing my truck I had captured a bunch of images. The one I posted is just like the one that is in the widget.

If this does not help in any way, please disregard

@zhackwyatt reminded me there is a URL anyone can use to download the images seen in the widget:
https://www.digitalservices.ford.com/fs/api/v2/vehicles/image/full?vin=VIN&year=MODELYEAR&countryCode=USA&angle=ANGLE
where VIN is your VIN, MODELYEAR is 2021 or 2022, and ANGLE is 1 through 5. I'm assuming most vehicles are using angle=1, so it would be important to know if your default is something else.

I'm using the sample images is finding a representative 10 by 10 pixel patch to read the color from. I've used my own image to locate one, but getting a few other colors to confirm a consistent match would be great.

Hope this helps. Carbonized Grey

Uploaded version 2022.07.16 to GitHub and Play Store. The main change is the auto-selection of the vehicle color. If you already assigned a color, you can use this by choosing the "Auto" button in the Set Vehicle Color activity. Note: this only works with a specific view (angle 4), so if that isn't available then you won't see the "Auto" button.

 

[Snakebitten]

Simply amazing
Auto works fine and the truck image was already the appropriate image.

 

[rdelar01]

Works, but curiously, now it's using another angle on the truck image. It was correct before (angle "1").
