Mapping Original Apps into launcher - Android Head-Units

Hello All!
I've looked for this all over, no luck! This post is my last hope.
I've a Chinese headunit 10.25, android 7 that I'm using on an Audi, I'm currently rooted (the reason was to use Viper4android).
What I really would like to do is use a 3rd party launcher, car launcher pro specifically.
In the original launcher that it shipped with, it has a button that takes me to my MMI interface which I need.. Also, there is a button for the "phone app" which I need mainly to stream music from my phone.
My question is, can I somehow map those into any android launcher that I can customize (as a shortcut/widget) ? Those aren't really "apps" as I looked for them under normal apps and system apps and found nothing.
Appreciate your input.

cannot find 'bluetooth music' apk file in JOYING JY-UL135N2 to use it with launcher

Hi,
My unit is JOYING JY-UL135N2 with 12/8 firmware. I have installed 'Smart Launcher Pro' and replaced stock launcher. I am happy with the smart launcher pro. it is very nice. But with this launcher, I cannot find 'bluetooth music' app to give a link to the dash top. I have tried searching this apk (stock apk for bluetooth music) using ES file explorer. But no luck. If I change the launcher back to stock, bluetooth music icon appears and I can use it. Can anyone post the bluetooth music apk file for JOYINGUN135N2 so that I can use it.
thank you.

BT music is part of the Bluetooth apk. You need to check the AndroidManifest.xml in the Bluetooth apk then create an activity short cut for that activity.
You can also try this http://www.howtogeek.com/169408/go-...creens-within-an-app-with-activity-shortcuts/
thank you dcman008.
that was very useful information to me regarding activities in applications. Your solution worked!!!
Now I can have an icon link to bluetooth music app... thanks a lot.
i also like Smart Launcher Pro...
so you just made an activities shortcut to get the Bluetooth Music?

Unbrand Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow widget refreshing

Hi there!
Bought an chinese android unit with android marshmallow, all i expect from it is to autorun torque widgets on homescreen, start the jetAudio player of mine, and to turn on the skycash parking widget.
After turning off and turn on the unit - the skycash widget is perma connecting to data, torque widgets are frozen (if u add any new one - they start working), and none app can autorun (music player included).
I bet its a well known issue, so it is possible to deal with it somehow?
The unit is eincar 2 din 6.0 unit (i cant give a link cuz of spam protect, but i assume they put same software everywhere in their units)
I'll be gratefull for any solution.
PS. I was ofc trying already SU apps, autostart apps, givin all possible permisions to the unit, and so on..
Ah, and forgot to mention - its the [email protected] debugging mode pass ROM

How can it run with only 256MB of RAM?
Does it work fine with Android apps?
Then, about Torque, did you install his widgets?
If you set a widget on the home screen, it will call torque on boot or even if it's not loaded during normal usage.

It runs just fine, lil "laggy" when got chrome, navi, torque and mp3 turned on.. but works good.
The main thing is about no refreshing the widgets AFTER reboot.
I've somehow forced him to take the torque widgets.. but as usual it looks like "Torque not installed, download it from app store", while it is installed from the appstore :x and it does not call torque even if i have it on homescreen and choose it in autostart app.. Only way that it worked with autostarting any app was FCC car launcher's autostart option..

Well, sounds like memory isolation safety feature on Android 6.
Any apps cannot call for any other apps in background.
In fact you shouldn't need the widgets, Torque should boot automatically.
What's the problem using car launcher's autostart?
Have a try with PVC Startup Builder or Start And Stay.

What's the problem using car launcher's autostart? - the OEM launcher doesnt have any autostart, all it can do is the freakin poor music player to start playin after boot
Have a try with PVC Startup Builder or Start And Stay. -neither of app can start after boot
Some pictures then
Rooting seems to undoable..

XTRONS PB78M211P - Android 8 problem with voice and default launcher

Hello guys!
I've changed my old XTRONS Android 6 car navigation unit with the new one with android 8.
First problem
I use the app AutoMate - Carlauncher (id=com.bitspice.automate) as the default launcher in my previous android head unit ( android 6). The new one is not able to change the default launcher with the AutoMate launcher. I do not know why. Did anyone know why, or what can I do?
Second problem
The speech of navigation voice is very bad. The same problem was with my android 6 head unit. I fixxed this problem one year ago with deleting/changing/cleaning some google maps speech files.
I will try no to install the following speech app by google. (id=com.google.android.tts)
Maybe someone have another ideas?
Everything else is working fine!
I'm not able to post links at this moment, so I used the id of the apps.

8227L customisation - FM radio app + launcher

Hey guys,
I’ve just got an 8227L Android head unit for my car. Wanting to make a few changes but not sure how exactly to achieve this.
I’ve found a really nice iDrive looking launcher I want to use but can’t get it to show the built in FM radio app up in the app list which I think has been hacked into the ROM on the device somehow, nor the AV in app and a couple of other built in ones.
Anyone know if I can either install an alternative FM radio app for it and add this into the new launcher, or is there a way to add the built in FM app to a third party launcher - it’s quite a good app so would be fine keeping it.
I guess if none of that’s possible the other alternative would be to have a shortcut to the stock launcher from the third party launcher but can’t find a way to do that either.
Only other thing I want to do is get rid of the weird colourful flowery boot animation when it turns on - just plain white Android text or a black screen would be fine. Guessing I might need root for this? Very new to all this and those are the only changes I’m wanting to make really.
Thanks for reading!
Which launcher you are talking about?

TS18

Could definitely use some help here. Diving back into the android head unit game after having an AN-21U long ago. Just got a kufine ts18 unit. Thinking of returning it. I can't get Netflix or other streaming services to play because of the play protect issue, I assume. Netflix not compatible. Disney plus error 39. Anyways, I'd like to keep it, but I need to figure out if it can be rooted. Notice some options for ts10, but no specific ts18 options. Help?
The main difference between TS10 and TS18 is the CPU, in addition to the difference in the main frequency and the production process is different, TS18 is a very good entry device, of course, more mature and stable is TS10. Recently TOPWAY will also launch the new TS6 platform, there is updated news I will release a new post in XDA public, TOPWAY platform can be used normally! NETFLIX, DISNEY and other APPs

I have a TS18 that I bought recently.
I was having some wifi issues, so I did a factory reset.
But after the reset, the zlink app is missing... so I don't have CarPlay now...
I'm trying to get in touch with the buyer, but no success.

Hi iskenderr. Were you able to install again zlink? I am stuck in the activation code. I've instaled several versions but is always the same. There is any other app or solution to connect your phone wireless?
TLink 1.8.6 comes installed even though I did a factory reset. I guess it registers automatically because only wifi is active.
Finally, I've contacted the seller and they send me a .zip with all the preinstalled apps. I've copied them in an external memory usb and directly install the apps, in my junsun ts18, include tlink5. Everything working like the first day. Excelent service by the seller, Junsun France.
carpalen, I had your same problem, I have a junsun dw894g and I need the apps to install, is it possible to have them? The Chinese where I got it didn't understand anything. it's a ts18 for me too

Is anybody else having issues with navigation apps? If used normally all is ok with sound, but whenever any navigation app is set as the main navigation app it loses all sound
Its an Eonon Q03pro TS18 2.2 windowed mode latest firmware and latest mcu. These units use ilauncher themes and the windowed themes allow you to set whichever navigation app is the main one in a window on the launcher which is a great feature
I have tried Google maps, waze, tomtom go, sygic and igo all sounds and voice guidance works but only if not set as main navigation app.
Just wondered if anyone knows how to be able to set it as main system navigation but not lose sound as its pretty useless without sound

Fixed....well seems to be, found a thread on a similar problem on TS10 units so was worth a try i thought and it works....
The Solution in case it helps others
Go to Android settings -> Apps and notifications -> Advanced -> Apps with special permissions -> Access to notifications -> Uncheck "Google" option.
For some reason that service has broken notification chanel in Android sound output

Did you get your sound working? I too have a TS18, mine is AINAVI brand which I just finished installing. So far I've been using stock apps, and the TLink for CarPlay music and nav (Waze) using an iPhone. So far, I'm impressed, though would like to update nav and music for offline use. Perhaps you can share which Android apps you found worked best. I've installed VLC for playing video and found it to work much better than what came stock. Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

Yes I disabled Google services I think it was, I'm using sygic for nav, amazon music, the stock music player is ok apart from no search function, musicolet is good so is poweramp but unfortunately cant be displayed on music widget on homescreen but can always use another launcher like agama or car launcher pro
