Hi,
I am using torque pro in my car android player. I can start the torque application automatically when I power the player. But uppon torque start, the main menu page appears and stays. I want to enable 'Realtime Information' button for the app to start comunicating with the dongle and record data. Any idea to make this happen automatic?
Try settings/general settings/startup in dashboard. Set to, do not start dashboard screen.
thanx. it worked!

I was trying to find a way to run this through a joying or pumpkin unit to a second screen for gauges. Pumpkin told me round about it was possible, was wondering if anyone knew this to be the case? And if there are any displays where i can change the view from landscape to portrait? Thanks for any input and sorry to thread jack but was similar.
Hi
i was wondering if nobody tryed to disable the original launcher with llama or automate.
I actually use FTVStick with llama and 1 rule.
If the "Handy" restarts, launch Appstarter.
When FireTV is Turned on, a few seconds after Booting up, llama start Appstarter.
I dont need the Original Amazon menu and want to disable it all the time.
The idea is, a rule like "if ktv-launcher is foreground start appstarter", and if i push the "Home" button on remote, Amazon launcher start, llama will recognized that and start Appstarter.
So i dont need to root.
My problem is, llama is very old and not supportet anymore.
So the Rule "app in foreground" doesnt work, and i need to switch to another tool.
On a FireHD10 Tab i used Automate and it works to use a alternative launcher.
Every time i press the Home button, the amazon launcher appear, and after 1-2 seconds automate starts another launcher.
The problem, i cant use Automate on FTVStick, because i need a touchscreen to configure the tool.
I hope, anybody can help creating a Automate flow with the options to check if ktv-launcher is the active app and start appstarter,
or give me a hint how to do my idea without a touchscreen.
thanks
I was able to control automate using a mouse and keyboard but I don’t think you can monitor for foreground applications without access to accessibility services. I hope you can get it to work though as I would love this!
I use Appstarter and Launcher Hijack, and followed the "Disable bloatware..." thread...
Amazon Launcher is not on my device, home button works flawlessly to return me to "Top TV Launcher 2" and it used to work for AppStarter when that was my main launcher.
FTVS2
@TimmyP many Thanks.
LauncherHijack works Perfect.
It doesnt Start Firestopper on Boot, but it catch the Home Button.
I use llama with the "On Boot" Rule and LauncherHijack for Home Button.
Thank You !
happy to help
I was asked by @rigattoni if I could write an app that allows to trigger Tasker after head unit wakes up from sleep (aka fast boot).
Why? Android has no reliable way for apps to be triggered when the device resumes from suspend-to-RAM state (aka fast boot).
Therefore a lot of Tasker users are missing a way to achieve that any Tasker jobs are started in fast boot.
My small little app tries to solve this.
This topic was first mentioned here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82596933&postcount=6133
How it works:
When a USB mass storage device is attached, the app will be triggered by Android, both in cold boot, and also in "fast boot".
Then the app waits for 10 seconds and then fires a Tasker specific intent to Tasker and the app will finish itself.
This allows that any Tasker tasks will be triggered.
In the attachment you find both a ready APK and the source code of it.
Note: I will not maintain this app.
If the APK does not fit your needs, adapt the source code yourself.
If you want to send other intents additionally, adapt the source code yourself.
If you want to change the timeout of 10 seconds, adapt the source code yourself.
If you don't know how to do so, take an online Android App Development training.
Thanks for your effort and this post ?
I've simply used tasker with "Display on" event for starting the app I need, turning wifi on, etc.
Working flawlessly for cold boot or resume... why not this method?

For me and others, the Tasker background process is killed on resume so it's not "active" to know that the screen is on or otherwise.
In my case tasker always runs on start.
But if for somebody tasker is killed on resume, how another app instead should be able not to be killed as well?
This app here is started by Android itself if a USB stick is present and so resistent against the 'kill all running apps' issue.
Missing Accessibility activation
On CSN2, CSN2-D, RL7Ac units another issue is visible, according to the Android restrictions starting with Android 8, that accessibility settings are not stored. That means that Tasker is not allowed to work in background... This is a no go for us...
This can be "fixed" if the unit is rooted!
What is needed:
Preparation:
Unit is rooted
Tasker installed
Secure Settings installed and activated
Workflow:
Secure Settings:
Switch to tab "SYSTEM+"
Press the button "DISABLED" and wait until the system is set to "ENABLED"
Close the app
Tasker:
Open "Preferences" in Tasker, switch to tab "MISC", activate "Allow External Access" and deactivate "Reduce Resource Usage". There might be some popups afterwards when closing Tasker about battery usage... As we don´t care about that, please accept these changes.
Task:
Create a profile, Example:
"Screen on" with higher priority (otherwise the task may be scheduled)
Create new task
Press the "+" button to add a command
Choose "Plugin and there "Secure Settings"
Press the stylo and open "System + Action"
Choose "Accessibility Settings" and search for Tasker in the list (on some units, the field is really small to find any app)
Press the "DISABLED" button to get it changed to "ENABLED" and safe the setting.
You can add other accessibility changes too. In this case you need to add a wait of 100ms between the commands.
(FCC needs it, because otherwise some functionality of FCC does not work (automatic light, volume....))
Example added to import in Tasker.

If you pull out the stick and put it back in again. Do you get the popup to start the StartTasker automatically?

So, here's what news.
After a long sleep (the car sleep for about 2 hours), I turned on the ACC and received a notification asking whether to launch the StartTasker when the UDisk device was connected. I checked the "allow" box.
But now if I turn off the car for just a couple of minutes, then nothing happens: the unit wakes up, all applications are killed and the StartTasker does not start.
When I take out the stick and insert it again, then OK, the StartTasker starts - I see the correspond popup notice below.
But now there is another problem: the StartTasker itself does not start the Tasker ((. Even if I manually start StartTasker , I can see the startup notification at the bottom, but the Tasker won't start. Hm...

StartTasker is NOT for starting Tasker, it´s to activate Tasker working in background. It just send an Intent, nothing else.
Check if in Accessibility settings Tasker is activated and in Tasker settings if "Allow External Access" is activated and "Reduce Resource Usage" deactivated.
Add a new profile with Display Orientation Landscape, write a short task with a Wait for 10 sec and add a Flash with some text and retest.
This should automatically activated after boot. and should show this flash on your unit.
Yes of course, a profile is written in the Tasker to launch another application. It works. When I rebooted the device, the StartTasker saw the connected USB and launched the Tasker, which completed the task.
But all this does not happen for some reason after exiting sleep mode.
I'll check settings tomorrow. Tnx!

I assumed that....
See my posting here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82627859&postcount=7
You can import the task and then export as app afterwards.
In this case you just need a launcher which supports this app on start up. I use Fcc Car Launcher for that.

Which unit?
Please don´t let us tear all information in small parts out of you.
which Unit, MCU version, Android version... please.
Use this app to configure the Accessibility settings and check if this is still activated after deep sleep.
Just now I don´t know any unit which does not work with Fcc... not completely may be with some missing features, but the standard things are working.
...and please read at least the first thread of the Fcc Car Launcher thread...
This thread gives a solution to rework the Tasker issue... and is a real Tasker fault.
I added a solution for getting it working if any Android unit forgets the accessibility setting in deep sleep.
Your problem now is a complete different thing, which needs to be discussed in the related thread.... and this is for fact the Fcc thread.
I am trying to use the Gesture Control app and Nova Launcher.
I am having problems with accessibility permissions.
I gave the apps accessibility permission. But as soon as I restart the car, the permissions have been turned off.
Does anyone know how I can keep the permissions on?
it’s for Joying 11.6” UQD11N4G with UIS7862 cpu.
I have the same problem did you fixed it yet ?
Same problem. No solution. None of the gesture apps seem to work. In fact, for me, as soon as i exit the gesture app, the gesture no longer works and the accessibility settings appears to be switched off.
Hi to everyone

Isn't there a camera setting in 8878, section CAN Typ?
I created a screenshot for you from a YouTube video. The setting is labeled with AVM Icon:
Thanks! I've checked the menù several times but always overlooked that setting. Worked like a charm
You're welcome.
