That, wow that video. The only thing I would worry about is getting things TO the tablet, like on my Pioneer I use a 64 GB SD card and I can play both videos and audio from it on the 6" screen. I am guessing that one could transfer from phone to tablet, or even pull up to my house and use Wi-Fi to connect to my NAS and download to tablet. But, the apps, the apps, that is just off the hook. That to me just about negates any worries about anything else since I have a 10GB plan on my phone and can tether. That is just so beautiful.

Wow, that is AWESOME. I am so glad there are others like me, lol. I am going to look into all this, I have a Titan which has plenty of room to do cool things. I think I might have to school my audio installers and show them this stuff. I live in a not so high tech area, lol!

You can have as well change of DPI and it will work like on tablet.

In my case I use Note 3 (n900) with 360 DPI. And it works.
[Android Apps and Games] RobboW:
I have a little glitch. I run the screen navbar and it covers the end of the app screen. This means I can't access volume up by the on screen button and also, can't close the app. I have to turn on expanded desktop to hide the navbar so I can press the buttons.
[Android Apps and Games] LBTaylor1984:
Probably a really dumb question how do you change your app shortcuts after initially choosing them?

Other than that this is awesome, like really awesome. Thank you and I will update as I go.

Oh one thing that does come to mind is that on a phone like the G3 the size of the audio explorer is very small if you are driving.
[Android Apps and Games] BostonDan:
This was covered a few posts ago, but you hold the app for about 2 seconds and you can change the app.

It would be cool if the developer added a 'camera' background that would make the background transparent. Just a suggestion.

Cheers,

[Android Apps and Games] LifeAsADroid:
I'm pretty sure this is my problem. May I have some guidance how to do this? I'd really like to try this app.
[Android Apps and Games] BostonDan:
First off, I believe you must be rooted to do this.

Assuming you must be and are rooted, the easiest way is to install xposed framework, which allows modifications to the framework.

Once the framework is installed and activated, search for xposed modules and find the module called "app settings".

After installing this module, go to the framework settings screen and go into modules and activate this module.

There will probably be multiple times you are asked to reboot during this process.

After rebooting, go to your apps, and choose the app settings app. Choose the digital car app from the list. Change the DPI (top left side) to 360. Save (upper right corner, an image of a 3.5" disk). Then try launching digital car.

That's it.

I will try to add screenshots when I have a chance.

Cheers,

B.D.
[Android Apps and Games] LifeAsADroid:
Thanks a lot! Already using Xposed and App Settings, wasn't aware of the dpi function within. I'll give it a shot.

Link for non G+ users

This looks good. Is there any way non Google+ users can access it in the Play Store? I'm not going to sign up for Google+.
[Android Apps and Games] LifeAsADroid:
All looks good now, app runs on my phone with the dpi adjustment.

App looks amazing, can't wait to try it out on the way to work today. A few things I noticed...

1) Is it possible to add the Pontiac logo to the list of logos? I can get you an image if needed

2) I set up Pandora to run in the background while this app was open in the foreground, but couldn't get the music controls to work for Pandora. Any chance on this being implemented in the near future?

3) Could an auto-brightness toggle be added to the homescreen, maybe near the mute toggle? It would make the toggling of brightness much more streamlined.

Looking forward to seeing where this app goes from here!

Everything is working pretty well except for my MPH did not change on the display as I drove. It stayed at zero. Any suggestions? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] BostonDan:
I found this issue too. To solve, I have the app GPS Status. Launching this and getting a GPS fix first then corrected the speed and location to display on my car.

I will have to review the tasker information to get this really integrated into my car.

support !

very nice app !

which version compatible with android ? 2.0 to up ?
[Android Apps and Games] CdRsKuLL:
Hi, First, many thanks for all the comments and requests :)

I'll add you a Pontiac logo in, not a problem for the next release. The logo's and backgrounds are kept on the external storage, I did this so you can have a little play yourself. I'll also add a blank png logo to make it easier to add more.

I've been busy coding the last few days, not really getting as far as I would like but I now have video working (need to do ratio still) and I've also resized the app launcher icons to suit different size screens as someone requested that also.

All being well I will hopefully have 1.03 uploaded over the weekend to Google Play ready for further testing. My Nexus 7 2013 should be at home waiting for me.. so I'll be seeing how it runs on a 'proper' tablet.. hehe

Sorry, to answer the above post, it's from 4.1.2 upwards

Thanks again,

Steve

Hey CdRsKuLL,

Think this would be pretty awesome too - a'la Torque that works with the bluetooth OBDII sensors.
[Android Apps and Games] LifeAsADroid:
Using an OBD II bluetooth adapter could yield more info as well, like Torque (mentioned above) or OBDLink.

[MENTION=225284]CdRsKuLL[/MENTION]

Another idea - Possibility of making the center dial customizable? i.e. - instead of speed or car emblem, could make it weather/temp, altitude, compass readout, location reading via GPS (town, lat/long, etc.)

Or... make a few of the options available at once. A'la Car Home Ultra (since we're pillaging other apps to make one awesome app out of them all) 8)
[Android Apps and Games] neo-rs:
Thank you CdRsKuLL! Great job. This works fine on my Xperia Z Ultra.
[Android Apps and Games] LifeAsADroid:
Another awesome feature that would be really cool, the ability to set a "night mode" for driving, well, at night. Again pillaging from Car Home Ultra, a setting allows you to set night mode to start at sunset and revert back to normal at sunrise. I do like the color tinting that happens at night with that app...
[Android Apps and Games] dom_christo:

Great idea!

Just Mounted my Galaxy Tab 10.1 in on my dash a few weeks ago. Been using a launcher with groupings and bigger icons, but i'll download this and give it a run. Currently I extend my dash display via a BT OBDII scanner / Torque and play music videos from internal storage.

Bluetooth conection

It was nice that have bluetooth conection, so when i start up my car the app opens when bluetooth makes the conection.

I use it on samsung 5" and the name fo the music don't stay at the top of screen, i think if we don't listen music, the name of the last song played don't.

this app is very good and looks very good
[Android Apps and Games] timothydonohue:
looks great. it would be nice if you could introduce a transparency for overlay with google maps or waze navigation (although, i like the heads up, just wondering if there was some way to overlay, so i don't have to back out of a map). basically, if i'm actually in my car driving, i'm going somewhere, and utilize my navigation.

There are many Android headunits (Huifei/Klyde/RM dual core 4.2.2, AN21-U dual core 4.1, dual core Telechips based 4.2.2 ones, Parrot Asteroid, single core Android 4.0 ones, Samsung S150 based ones and more, search XDA for more info), I found out about this app from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2660662

It should work on these Android headunits as well as tablet and phones.

Youre forgetting that the UK is metric for everything . . . apart from still using miles for distance (f***ed up, init ? !)

Easier, cheaper and better to get one of these ! :) : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2660662

What would be the point of that ? GPS is much more accurate than the car.
[Android Apps and Games] alwaysbmx:
I like this project. I'm glad someone had the great idea and made it a possibility.
[Android Apps and Games] Valiceemo:
Here's my input.

The app looks nice and does what it says on the tin.

Running pardus ROM on LG D802.

When I click the android icon it force closes.

I think the built know of player should have more functionality. Such as shuffle, playlist etc. Simple links to sd folders is too fiddly whilst driving.

And is there a way to stop the GPS function as this will eat away at data.
[Android Apps and Games] dB Zac:
How does GPS eat away at your data?
[Android Apps and Games] Valiceemo:
having GPS active all the time will consume data will it not?
[Android Apps and Games] LBTaylor1984:
Only if map tiles are being downloaded or your position is syncing with a app for geolocation otherwise no
[Android Apps and Games] fred_spitfire:
battery yes. but it has nothing to do with data

Edit: as said by the poster above, an app could use GPS for something and data also but GPS by himself doesn't
[Android Apps and Games] Valiceemo:
So the fact the app is using GPS to monitor my speed is not consuming data???

Id have thought it was...

Can anyone else confirm...namely the developer?
[Android Apps and Games] agentdr8:
Easy to test. Leave GPS on, turn mobile data off. Go on a drive.
[Android Apps and Games] dB Zac:
Not on its own. If you use an app like Google maps, the maps will be downloaded via data but GPS location functions without data consumption on its own
[Android Apps and Games] CdRsKuLL:
Hi Peeps,

I've uploaded a new version 1.04 with a few additions.

To answer the above question about GPS. This is obtained by the location manager which can as you say use network (phone triangulation), data, known wifi locations etc. However I don't use this and just opt for the very accurate GPS sensor. So the in built GPS unit uses no data. However, if you were to open say Google maps it would then start downloading maps via your data connection.

The speed reading from the GPS should be more accurate than your car speedometer which are normally 5 - 10% lower than your actual speed. So.. inshort, the gps sensor won't use any data unless you open an application ie' google maps that does.

hope this helps,

Steve
[Android Apps and Games] CdRsKuLL:
Hi, when you say the three buttons (i,ii,iii) are preset buttons, holding these will save your current path. Do you think these are to small?
[Android Apps and Games] Valiceemo:
Yes I realize they are presets, but what if I don't want to listen to just one album.

An option to 'shuffle all' is pretty standard on media players.

And (i think this has been mentioned before) the ability to remove app shortcuts should be included.

And I've noticed it will automatically start playing music when opened, an option to disable this would be nice.

And generally yes, the buttons could be bigger I think. Just thinking of safwyu and keeping distraction to an absolute minimum.

But overall, by far and away the best 'car home' app I've tried. And I've tried a lot!

Keep up the excellent work and look I forward to future updates.
[Android Apps and Games] Downzy:
I like it! IMO This is by far the best looking front car front end that I've used.

I've got a N7 (2012) mounted in my dash running Timurs ROM, I'll give it a try and provide as much feedback as I can.

Currently I just use the android home page with some widgets, and launch various apps from there. I mainly use Navigation, Google Play Music and Google Now. I also use the voice search quite a bit, it's quite useful to be able to tap the button and talk to it for navigation.

Taking a look, I can pretty much cover all of that off without any fuss. Great job! Thankyou!

Can't install on my car

I use a 2 Din android radio that runs Android 4.2.2. The download link just does not appears for my car radio, but it appears on my Galaxy S3 phone. It says that it is incompatible with my car radio. Can you fix that or send a link to the apk?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] klaariskees:
I am using a MK802IV HDMI stick with Neomode Custom Rom 1.3, connected to my AppRadio3, using AppRadio Unchained Reloaded.

The Digital Car app works fine! For me it is the most useful car app by far! I downloaded the app from G+/PlayStore, using my phone as a mobile hotspot for the stick.

When I start my car, it takes about 80 seconds to have the Digital Car app ready on my AppRadio touchscreen.

The start screen has lots of interesting options. What I specially like about Digital Car, is the 'return icon' when you use an app from the start screen.

For in car use, I would rather have larger icons. Of course, the app is made for use on a tablet, but my AppRadio has also a 7"screen. I think that slightly bigger icons or tiles would be already better and safer to use on a 7" screen, being on the road. Maybe it is possible to design different skins for the app.

It would also be nice if the App could be started up automatic on boot of the stick. For now, I am using Car Home Ultra (CHU) to have a big icon to start Digital Car. CHU can be configured to startup on boot of the Android stick, but I would rather skip the use of CHU and have startup Digital Car right away on boot. By then, I will remove CHU and only use Digital Car.

Anyway, thanks a lot CdRsKuLL for developing this wonderful app!

I don't know why it crashes with my stick.

CdRsKuLL..what can I do to help finding the problem?

Enviado desde mi GT-I9300 mediante Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] klaariskees:
When wanted to install Car Home Ultra, I had my stick at home, connected to my TV. The app failed to start, which was caused by the absence of a GPS signal.

When I found that out, I installed the app connected to my AppRadio3. This radio provides the GPS signal that the app needed to start. It worked OK that way.

Maybe the Digital Car app has to be treated that way too? You could give it a try, but I think that the dev can tell you right away if that condition is present in his app.
[Android Apps and Games] ikerg:
It could be. I will try to install locations capability (even not gps it can be enabled based on wifi or mockup...) i think it is currently disabled. On the kitkat forum for my device it is stated how to achieve this.

pioneer sph da100 integration?

Hi,

Just wondered if there is any chance of integrating thisdirectly with something like appradio unchained, to give users of pioneer app radios some new interface goodness? I figure that its possible to just run this as a screen mirror in ARu but if it could replace the default interface directly that would be pretty damn sweet.

thanks in advance for your thoughts

[Android Apps and Games] CdRsKuLL:

Yes I did but it doesn't control any of the audio apps other than the stock media player. Whenever I press play or fast forward while usingPandora, Google play music or otheraudio apps it starts playing what was on the stock app and stops the other app.
[Android Apps and Games] fred_spitfire:
I deactivated the stock one so maybe try that? only one that works for me is GPM
[Android Apps and Games] fcjr77:
Thanks. I will try that. I was hoping it would be farther along to where it can control any of the audio apps so I don't have to keep going into whatever app I have open to pause or forward, but I guess the audio controls for 3rd party apps is still listed as "beta". So I will wait to see if this is fixed later on.
