Hey Folks,
I hope you can help me, search function didn't.
I have Android 7 in my car and all I want is to start with Maps and Spotify in Splitscreen. Is there a launcher which can do this, or any other thing i can do? Maybe IFTTT or something similar?
Of course I can start both Apps and activate the Splitscreen manually, but I am wondering if there is any easier solution. I found "Splitscreen launcher" but it is only for vertical splitting and it doesn't work on my Android 7.
AFAIK you can't start split screen mode programmatically
I want to do the same as OP.
Vivid launcher comes close, but they pair google maps with their own music player. I need to use Gaia for offroad navigation instead of google maps. Gaia lets me upload tracks which is very useful when driving a maze of logging roads to a specific destination. Also, the vivid music player puts a popup on every screen, which I don't want.
It would be even better if I could include a few icons (see image).
But ultimately I don't care how I get the result desired, as long as I can return to it with a press of a steering wheel button. On the head unit I have, I can manually do a splitscreen, but it goes away if I go to a different app.
Does anyone run something like this?
Is there a launcher that will do this?

Hi guys.
I know CM can do this, but the volume keys are quite uncomfortable in my xperia phone. My phone has 3 front physical buttonsn and I would love to do something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Is it possible?
Thanks.
nobody?
I would also like to know this.
For any former TCPMP users on Windows Mobile, you could easily map buttons to do all sorts of things within the player. Nothing has come along for Android that is anywhere near the capabilities of this player. You'd probably need root to do this on Android but I think there is demand for it.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As far I know, you can edit the keyboard layout to make that. Te problem is that you would lose the back/menu buttons...

If someone can show you a solution, it will get your phone model sales higher. Because your requirement seems very useful.

Material Design is the new design guideline by Google. Android (including Wear) is using it from version L and up, here's a watch face to go with it!
All colors are fully customizable right from the watch, just long press the watchface, click the small gear icon at the bottom of the screen and you'll be able to customize the watch face as you wish.
Feedback is welcome and appreciated, I will try to respond quickly.
Troubleshooting:
Sometimes it takes a little while to install new watch faces over a slow Bluetooth connection. Wait at least a few minutes after installing on phone, by then watch face should be installed on the watch as well. Try reinstalling or re-syncing all apps to the watch if it still fails. This unfortunately affects all third party watch faces on Android Wear.
As always, source code is available: https://github.com/FruitieX/materialwatch

I'm still planning color presets and possibly a phone version of the color picker for immediate feedback in a future update.

In my school, we were all given Acer Spin 11 Chromebooks to use in class. They have the Google Play store, although they have only 10 (educational) apps.
My understanding of how this works is that Android is somehow running under Chrome OS, as you can actually access the Android settings and mess around in there.
My question is, is there a way to truly access Android? Can I see the Android home screen, use the Android interface as if it were running Android rather than Chrome? I don't see why this wouldn't be possible, as it seems as if Android is somehow running in the background. This might be a bit far-fetched, especially since our school blocks things like developer mode, but it would be awesome if this were possible.
Thanks in advance!
Kind of. If you can install a launcher like Nova Launcher you can get an android home screen but it's in a window like the other android apps on Chromebooks.
You can also get to the android settings by going to the Chromebooks settings, scrolling to the Google Play Store section where there is a manage android preferences option which opens up an android settings menu in a window.
If you have a Chromebook from school they have likely locked all of this down so you can't get to any of it though.

Hey,
I am digging a bit and modifying the ROMs of my devices that also display video clips via my application. One thing annoys me. The moment when the system opens the object from the video. A terribly unattractive icon appears for a moment, stretched to the limit (attachment). I do not know where to look for it to replace it with something else or replace it with a completely black screen.
My Application uses WebView and this icon pops up in two cases:
a) when I call a video file using the player
b) when I run a YouTube video
This video icon appears on different systems also on Android 5.0 or 7.0. This is a system icon, because on a Sony phone this icon is different, although I use the same application (ie it is not embedded in a player)

I tried to search the directory structure after unpacking the .img file with the video keys, movie, hoping that I will find some directory with icons - unfortunately in vain. I hope that someone knows where to look or change it Or show me someone who can know about it.
Thank you very much in advance!
Hello everyone. I am staying in a foreign country for a while and using a scooter to get around with the help of google maps by listening the directions through my headphones. Sometimes though i need to hear again the last directions and so right now i need to stop and take out my phone in order to do that. So here comes the question i have in mind: is there an app to simulate clicking on a certain area on the screen ( the green bar on upper side of google maps that repeats the directions, in my case

) and then reasign that action to my headset button ? Also i am running google maps in background with the screen off but i dont mind it working with the screen on either. I hope you guys can help me. Thanks in advance.
Hello,
If your phone is rooted, you can use "Automate" (Google Play free app) to create a macro.
Never tested with Google Maps, but I think it's work.
Thanks a lot bro !!! I got it to work with the screen on, now i'm trying to make it unlock the phone, run the command and then lock back. I doubt that i will succeed though but it's good enough anyway. Thanks again !!
