Hi there I’m using realdash on android as a infotainment system. The problem I have is that if I open another app I have to either keep pressing back button to get back to realdash not ideal or press android home button and reopen realdash app I have used other car dash systems which you can set as android home screen which works really well Is there any function for this or a workaround Thanks ---

It is informally possible to reconfigure an RD application to do this. But you will get a lot of problems with the file browser, saving and settings. So the application in the form in which it is from the developers is the only way it turns out to be stable and reliable. In any other case, this is not the case! ---

[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tyastono.taufiq.homescreenswitcher](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tyastono.taufiq.homescreenswitcher) With this app you can set any app as launcher. I used it before, but be careful if you need to launch other apps etc. It becomes difficult, as there is no “all apps” shortcut in RealDash. You can still access system settings from the notifications bar. ---

When I press the home button RD does not reboot. Only when back button is pressed it closes and restarts next time, which is as intended. ---
