Accessibility Service (AccessibilityService)

Car Launcher PRO uses the Android Accessibility Service to recognise edge swipe gestures ("Back", "Home", "Recent Apps") and convert them into system navigation actions. This is especially useful for devices that lack physical or virtual navigation buttons.

How we request access:

• At the first launch of the app, you will see a full-screen notice with a detailed explanation of why this service is needed, along with "Agree" and "Disagree" buttons.
• If you agree, you will be taken to the gesture settings menu, where you can enable the feature. When you enable it, you will be redirected to the Android system settings for final activation.
• If you decline, the app works without gestures, and the request will not be shown again until you manually navigate to Settings → Gestures → Gesture for returning to the home screen and tap "Enable gesture service". In that case, the consent dialog will appear again, and only after your active agreement will the system settings open.

What the app DOES NOT do:

• Does NOT read, analyse, or collect the contents of your screen, entered text, or personal data.
• Does NOT change system settings without your knowledge.
• Does NOT collect, store, or transmit your personal data or usage data.

Your control:

• Use of the service is completely voluntary.
• You can disable it at any time in: Android Settings → Accessibility → Car Launcher PRO.
• You can also re‑enable the service through the app settings, where your consent will be requested again.

Ratings and reviews

I've been using this for my Joying head unit in a Mitsubishi Lancer for a few months now, and I love it! I wouldn't use it for phone at all, but only for an Android head unit. There is a learning curve for customization, but think if I really sat down and messed with it a bit longer it would be everything I need. However, as of now I'm very happy with the simplistic look and easy to use interface(once it has been customized).

This looks like an awesome app til you actually try and set it up. There has to be a better way the devs can come up with for an editing menu. too many steps to open different menus to get what you want done. I tried, more than once. the video makes it look easy, and after 15-20 attempts I'm sure it would get that way. I just don't have the patience for it, or the time for the learning curve vs the results. Since it is paid for I will reinstall down now n then to see if has been refined.

Decent App, better than what's default on my aftermarket system. It is highly customizable to fit your wants and I would probably recommend. That being said there are a ton of bugs that come along with it. 1. Sometimes after connecting bluetooth to play music it just won't let you unless you have an internet connection. I've downloaded songs and since having this app they won't play. 2. The navigation integration is horrible. 3. The Screensaver is a cool feature but it glitches around.

What’s new

- Fixed working with GPS if using system GPS is selected in the settings.
- Optimization of the widget of favorite applications
