Alerts and ROM pop-ups

QF head units cover the screen with their own pop-ups (calls, doors, parking radar, climate). Dashwheel can show its own instead, dressed in your theme.

Alert kinds and styles

Settings → Pop-ups. One style per alert, each with a live Try it:

Style
Pill A small bar at the top
Card A card in a corner
Banner A strip across the screen
Side panel Full height on one side (the door alert draws the car from above with the open doors)
Full screen A dimmed modal

Kinds: calls, doors, parking radar, climate, tyres, seat belt, volume, messages, Gemini. Alerts can be spoken (Settings → Sound and voice → What the car says). Alert colours come with a word, not colour alone.

Made for driving:

  • Several alerts at once line up: the most important keeps its place, the others go under it or shrink to the pill, and a call's buttons stay clear.
  • Calls use the panel or full screen only while ringing; a tap outside shrinks it to the pill, which has big Answer / Decline buttons set apart.
  • Tyre and door alerts in a big design shrink to the pill after 8 s on the move; tap to bring them back. Parked, the door alert keeps the design you chose; door pop-ups stay a card while parked.
  • Climate pop-ups never cover the map.
  • Reversing hides alerts and holds the voice (checked again every 2 s).
  • After CarPlay or Android Auto, alerts come back in your chosen design.

Replacing the unit's pop-ups

Pop-up How Needs
Call screen Settings → Pop-ups → Calls QF firmware
Doors Settings → Pop-ups → Doors Root or the one-time WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS grant
Volume bar Settings → Pop-ups → Volume: Dashwheel's pill, card, banner or side panel instead of the unit's grey bar Magisk; takes over at the next start (GitHub edition)
Radar Drawn over the reversing camera Accessibility service; data needs the grant or root
Climate, seat belt From the CAN box Grant or root

Calls still answer from the steering wheel; sound and microphone stay on the unit's hands-free.

Status: call, door and volume bar replacement car-tested on the K706; other kinds emulator-tested. See Root and PMPatch3.
