Android Tablet Installed


Recommended Posts

Was a pretty painless install.

I opted for a Ulefone U7 tablet, very narrow so knew it would fit in the space taken by the birdview.

It's a phablet and with a GiffGaff SIM installed I have access to online stuff whilst on the move.

I'm using Smart Launcher Pro instead of the stock launcher, I like the clean interface and big buttons

 

E-Robot is the task manager I've settled on. Just two events that detect power on and power off and this switches wifi/data/gps on/off and adjusts screen brightness and timeout.

Nice clean install. :thumbs:

 

Is is there a way to get the tablet to auto start when the ignition is switched on?

 

Yep, using E-robot to detect power on which then switches screen on and GPS etc

Tablet goes about 10 days in deep sleep so fine for most of the year.

When it does fully switch off, I'll need to remove the OEM satnav controls to push the power button.

 

Would have liked to wire an external power switch but way beyond both my soldering skills and eyesight!
