@mahmoodmajeed mahmoodmajeed released this 02 Oct 19:07

Download G700RearLauncher-v1.4.1-release.apk below and install it on the car's head unit. It updates cleanly over any earlier version.

New

  • Folders in the climate-screen drawer — in Settings, hold an app over another to make a folder; rename it, add apps, move apps out, or ungroup.
  • Ceiling-screen bar pins — pin up to four apps on each side of the ceiling screen's (display 5) bottom bar, in the empty black space beside the centre buttons. Tap one to open the app there. Edited in Settings → Ceiling screen bar on a to-scale preview of the bar.
  • One-tap "Enable automatically" for the accessibility service the ceiling bar needs. The head unit's Settings app won't list apps for granting accessibility, so the app turns its own service on by talking to the head unit's local ADB over loopback — no PC, no second device, no third-party app — and re-enables itself after a system update or reset.

Changed

  • Settings sections reordered and retitled — top to bottom: App drawer, Favourite apps, Ceiling screen bar, Target screen, each noting where it shows (climate screen / display 4, ceiling screen / display 5).
  • Self-driving accessibility notice — on opening Settings the app tries to turn the service on by itself, so the notice and its button appear only when it's actually off. The on-head-unit "Open Accessibility settings" button is gone (that screen isn't available here); instead the notice spells out the manual fallback: open the app drawer, long-press the Rear Launcher icon, tap Permissions, and turn on the required permission.
  • The "coming soon" Rear Back button row is hidden for this release.

Fixed

  • Ceiling bar icons step aside for the control panel — when a panel is stacked on top of the bottom bar (such as the on-screen control panel opened from the bar), the pinned icons now fade out of the way while it's open and return when it closes, instead of sitting on top of it.
  • Long-press menus in the Settings editors now open while you're still holding (after half a second), and close if the hold turns into a drag.

v1.3.6

@mahmoodmajeed mahmoodmajeed released this 05 Jul 19:58

G700 Rear Screens Launcher v1.3.6

Arabic / RTL support for head units running the system in Arabic.

Added

  • Full Arabic translation of the main Settings screen and its sections. When the
    head unit's system language is Arabic, the settings/management UI is translated
    and laid out right-to-left. Installed app names keep their own language.

Fixed

  • RTL (Arabic) system layout no longer flips the climate screen. The drawer
    button and the pinned app icons keep the exact same left-to-right order and
    position, and the app drawer grid fills in the same order, whether the system
    is English or Arabic.

Notes

  • App-icon ordering on the climate screen is pinned left-to-right by design, so
    it matches in both languages. The reorder arrows in Settings follow the same
    left-to-right mapping.

v1.3.5

@mahmoodmajeed mahmoodmajeed released this 05 Jul 19:02

G700 Rear Screens Launcher v1.3.5

Fixed

  • "Special App Access" now appears in the DisplayMirror launcher. On a fresh install, DisplayMirror''s Permissions screen hid the Special App Access section (Draw over other apps / Install unknown apps) because it lists app-ops only after they have a recorded state. The app now records these ops once at first launch, so the section shows up and the toggles can be used.

Notes

  • Open the app once after installing/updating so the fix takes effect, then re-open DisplayMirror -> long-press -> Permissions.
  • You can also grant "Draw over other apps" directly from inside the app (Settings -> Grant), which works regardless of the launcher.

v1.3.4

@mahmoodmajeed mahmoodmajeed released this 05 Jul 05:49

G700 Rear Screens Launcher v1.3.4

A maintenance release that fixes two layout issues on the climate screen.

🐞 Fixes

  • The last pinned icon no longer shrinks. With four favourites pinned, the final icon rendered noticeably smaller than the rest. The bar's overlay window was being measured at the system's narrow "dialog width" and squeezing the last cell; it now uses a fixed width and forces each icon to full size, so all four pinned apps read at exactly the same size.
  • Back button is now positioned correctly, just left of the volume control. It was being drawn on the far left because it used a layout-direction–relative anchor that flips under a right-to-left (e.g. Arabic) system language. It's now pinned to an absolute position measured to sit cleanly to the left of the stock volume icon.
  • Corrected stale "up to three apps" wording in Settings to "four".

📥 Install

Download G700RearLauncher-v1.3.4-release.apk below and open it on the head unit to install. Devices already running the launcher will be offered this update automatically from Settings.

v1.3.3

@mahmoodmajeed mahmoodmajeed released this 04 Jul 20:22

G700 Rear Screens Launcher v1.3.3

An app-drawer button and favourites bar for the Jetour G700's rear climate screen, launching apps on the rear ceiling display.

✨ New

  • In-app updates. The launcher now checks this GitHub releases page in the background whenever you open Settings. When a newer build is available, a banner appears in Settings and About → Updates offers a one-tap Download & install with live progress — no manual sideloading needed.

🔧 Improvements

  • Back button moved to its own place on the right of the climate screen, just beside the volume control. It's now sized independently, so pinning lots of favourites no longer squeezes the app icons.
  • Uniform icon sizing. Pinned icons all render at the same full size — padded icons like Google Maps no longer look smaller than the rest.

📥 Install

Download G700RearLauncher-v1.3.3-release.apk below and open it on the head unit to install. If prompted, allow installing unknown apps. Devices already running the launcher will be offered this update automatically from Settings.
