Suggestion to add Launcher option

General
1

Good morning. It’s just a suggestion if it’s not possible to add an option to run this app as a launcher. After a year of trying to get the app to start with the car starting as default, to no avail. (Dynavin car radio). The Dynavin radio has a very limited android setup. If I wanted to run the application via Makrodroid, the rights enabled one day are disabled the next day. Macrodroid will not start. A lot of Auto Launcher App Managers are the same way. It’s a great program, but I’ve run out of options. For example, applications such as Car Launcher, CarWebGuru are launched after the car is started. I know that there are not many Dynavin owners.

Sorry for the English, translator.

This could be done, but not thru Play Store as status of Launcher app cannot be changed on the runtime by the app itself.

But we could build a launcher version APK that would be available from My RealDash downloads section.

Well that would be great so there is still a chance to use this great app.

It doesn’t look like I have the ability to create a new post so I’m replying to this one.

RealDash HAS to have the ability to be set as a Launcher in Android. The navigation work around is a complete hack and RealDash does not always load correctly. I run a premium dash but this dash is not going to go into service unless I know I don’t have to carry a wireless keyboard with me in case my dash disappears.

It looks like a developer replied to this thread, acknowledging the possibility, but AFAIK it hasn’t been implemented. I pay for premium and have downloaded the APK off the website but that version is not launcher-enabled.

Please make this happen or my unreliable dashboard is going in the trash and I’ll just go back to OEM.

Threats do not motivate me nor raise the priority of this.

Yes, it is possible to build a launcher version of RealDash and it could be available from MRD downloads as separate APK.

Alright, there is a RealDash-v265-pr1-mrd-homeapp.apk in My RealDash downloads section.

We did not do much testing with this, but it does act as an Android home app. Anyone who finds this option useful, please report back in case of any issues.

The application does not work

Many thanks to the author. Modified home theme selection app works as intended. In the home screen selection, it appears in the list of available applications. Even after starting the radio, it will start. Cool. You just need to think about adding a button to the theme to return to the list of installed applications, for example. Which I created, but when I run the button with the link to the app’s package, it pops up in the bottom right “can’t launch this app Android 11 > Security”. I have to solve this somehow.

Alright, I will take a look at this.

I have some knowledge about this problem. After creating a button with a link to, for example, AIMP player, it behaves differently on different versions of Android. It works on android 9, on android 11 it writes the mentioned message android 11 security, on android 13 it starts a web browser with a link to the address, see the attached image.
