How to auto start 'Realtime Information' menu in TORQUE app front screen

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?

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.

Help with Tasker, How to go to home screen if idle?

Hello all
I wanted some help on this matter. I want my Joying Intel unit to go to the home screen if there are no button presses or touches after 2 minutes. I looked online for similar tasker setups but could not find one for my particular case. I'm also not the brightest in matters like these so I thought I'd ask the experts here!
Thanks

Hello All
Thought I'd share that I figured this out through the help of Reddit. You need AutoInput and Tasker. Here are the instructions;
AutoInput Event > UI Action > Clicks and Long Clicks
In Task,
Task > Wait desired time
App > Go Home
Hit cog top right and set Task collision to Abort Existing.
My question now is, how do I prevent the Joying OS from killing Tasker and AutoInput when my Joying unit sleeps AND when I clear my apps from the app drawer?

If anyone runs through the same issue I have its the Sofia Server mods or "main server mods" in Joying Extra Tools, it's the "NoKill" mod.
Hopefully final question. How do I prevent the os from resetting my accessibility services? When the car is off for awhile and the unit enters sleep mode it resets the accessibility settings for my AutoInput plugin

[Solved] Fake navigation app to use in Tasker for Chinese head unit

I have a generic Chinese head unit that allows me to define a Navigation app that can open when I press a specific button on my steering wheel.
However all the available apps for selection from my installed applications are the navigation ones (Google Maps, Sygic, Waze).
The thing is that I don't need to open a navigation app and want to make the button do something else, like starting Google Assostant for example which will be more useful.
So I would like to ask if someone knows a way or fake application that is viewed as an Navigation app from Android, which I will be able to assign to the button. And then link it to Tasker / Macrodroid / Autome whatever can handle it.
If the app can be configured to send intents or call something from Tasker it will be great.
There are triggers for app opening also but I guess for it to work the fake app shouldn't open anything and auto close, because killing apps requires root.
Another options is to make the Tasker secondary launch or Automate alternative start be recognized as an navigation app, so I could select it as my navigation app, but I don't think that would be possible really.
If anyone has any ideas it will be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Technically I can develop the app myself, but I'd like to know if there is a faster way
P.S.2. Solved.

You could do the following trick:
- trigger for Tasker: Google Maps (or similar) started
- then run a task which waits 2 seconds and then opens your app
Second possibility is to rename the package name of your app to the same as a navigation app like Sygic. You could use an app like Lucky Patcher. I don't know if this will work. Give it a try.

The first approach will leave an open Navigation app which is not desired, and I'm trying to avoid.
The second option is an interesting suggestion, I could try that (although the app will be better to auto close again). Who knows, maybe the chinese software is **** and only checks for specific text in the app package name

You could check if 'AppSwitcher Starter' appears in your list after installation.
If your goal is not to have an app switcher you could try 'FlowStarter' which can trigger an Automate Task and start the Automate Service:

It works with every Flow and the attached Flow is just a sample.

Ok, so I had some time to tinker with the head unit and found out that it had a dumb check for the navigation app based on the package name containing certain words.
So I changed the package name of the FlowStarter app to include the word 'navi' and then I was able to select it in the menu as my navigation app.
So now I can technically do anything with the flow in Automate.
Thanks for the app recommendation very useful

Great. Have fun with FlowStarter but leave a like for my app. ;-)

Liked it np. Very useful, was able to do a flow that detects how many times I started it in the span of some time (a second), so now I can assign multiple actions for the button, just have to think what they will be

You could have a look on the sample flow which allows to switch between last used media app and navigation app with a single button press.

Strange pop-up adroid car-radio

Hi,
recently I have a "dot" on my screen and when I click on it a round pop-up mneu with an android sign appears in the middle.
Anyone have any idea where this could come from, in the installed apps I can't find an app that causes this, so I suspect a setting somewhere
Best regards
Frank

Something is activated in settings of launcher, some option for google

Hi, on my head unit it's the app "assistant" that show this dot. It's not shown in the app drawer so you have to start the app with tasker e.g. to access the settings and disable it. The other way is to look at the general settings section. There could be an entry called "flying ball" (Chinese...). Just disable it.

[CLOSED] Igo speedcam issues

I am using igo nextgen on android hu. Maps etc all work. When I use tts sound I select it and get the voice(test). But when I use it I get no voice announcements for warnings ie speedcams only a beep. Sometimes during the journey as well the voice does not finish a sentence etc. Removed phoneme files as says to but no luck.
Can someone help me as getti g so annoyed now. Wanted tts working correctly with speedcam/overspeed etc alerts.
If I use a normal voice then navigation speech works fine. But when comes to speedcams I get a continuous beep. Can this be solved?

Please tell us your specs of device you are using (headunit info).
It is probably issue with sound in factory settings of device (hidden menu)

Where was igo installed from, plsystore or others?

Fixed this issue, but how do I stop it autostart when turn on from ignition

Came preinstalled, but backed up removed it then reinstall from scratch with up-to-date maps

Can't find anything about autostart in car settings. There is no menu for car settings

You have infotainment menu ? If yes, it's there somewhere.

Doesn't have that menu

Have these settings and hidden ones.

Try in hidden ones or developer menu if exists. Please shoot a video of whole menus and lists for better understanding.

Photos above show the menus I have. As can see I can't see anything. How get into developer options? Can see mjz but what it do and needs a different password

track down on internet what does do and how to get past password, must be some data about it on net

Done that why I'm asking here. From things on here many others have had same issue and get no answer

Picture this mjz menu step by step and please write down CPU-Z info on your model here

Mjz settings in picture below. Dont have cpu-z info. But know it's an allwinner quad (sun8iw11). 2/32 ram/memory. Got system working but nav auto starts when turning ignition on and system load up. I have nav app attached to navi button. If I don't and leave blank, would this stop it as nothing assigned to the button that assume is linked to the system generated startup system.

Ok, you have google play store or some store to download apps and install them or navigation app is preinstalled with unit ?

Navigation was preinstalled. But I backed up the APK and reinstalled with all updates etc do make it work with new maps. I have playstore available. I have tried other nav apps like Waze. These are not set as Navi button. These do not autolaunch when key in ignition. So is it due to fact that what app is set as Navi button in settings will autoload.

Try to download better or different version of Igo , maybe it will correct itself or go to settings on Igo settings if you have option autostart with system or android or something like that.
