Kenwood and Android Auto

Do the Kenwood models really not have the dark mode feature that Pioneer models do? I had a Pioneer model before but it's fairly disappointing that I can't go into dark mode automatically (headlights-triggered) for night time driving.
If there's a way to force dark mode, does anyone know how to do that? Having all that white in Maps displaying at night is tough on the eyes.
Thanks for any help.

Yes, enable developer options in the Android auto app on your phone by pressing the Android Auto text in the top bar multiple times just as you would to enable dev options in the phone..... Once u get the toast notification that dev is enabled use the pop up menu in the top right corner and choose dev settings then tap day/night and set to phone controlled or dark if u want it always on nght mode. Looks way better IMO.

This looks like a riddle, but I supose you want the home screen to auto rotate in all directions? it can, but be advised that the nav bar only comes out from the bottom edge, that is, if in landscape mode you have to swipe from the right or left depending how you turned the device

Screen Rotation Control app by jubo Co in play store solves the problem.even 180 degrees you can rotate the screen

It means that he home screen & app drawer can be viewed in landscape mode when rotating the phone (but not upside down still). There's a setting in TW to enable/disable this feature. Previously this could not be done stock.

FYI the Samsung Experience just updated for me via the Galaxy App Store and now supports landscape on the Note8 however you need to enable it via the home screen settings first.

do you have .apk of this?

I just saw this on the main thread and I downloaded the APK and it's GLORIOUS!!!!

This dont install

Then I would advise that you wait for the OS update. Which should arrive very soon on your device. I would recommend that you check the Home Screen Settings Menu to see if you have already had it installed on your device.

Same here. App won't install and there is no update on Note 8 exynos. That's a let down, since they just pushed Aug security patch. Landscape home is so handy. Also I need to apply black nav bar, but apparently this can only be done via adb. If I do this and then Experience Home gets finally here, I wonder will it reset the black bar or keep it.

Hmm I'm on n950f (exynos) with the August patch and I have launcher in landscape mode.
My device from xeu but I've flashed xef, btu, and dbt and back to XEU firmwares and I still got the updated launcher.
Try searching for a signed Samsung experience home launcher.
Weird!

Weird indeed. I have the same model as us, XEU (IRL/UK), same Home Ex version and lates Aug patch and yet the option doesn't show. I tried clear catche and data in Home app, nothing changed. Also I don't have the luxury to factory reset my phone again. I also uninstall Home update from Play Store and Updated in Galaxy Apps, no change, no landscape. This is driving me mad.
My Model is SM-N950FZKAXEU. Model doesn't even show up on Samsung support page Ireland, but I will contact them anyway.
My Samsung Experience Home is version 9.0.10.76

What's the version of your "Samsung Experience-Start" App? Mine is 9.0.10.76 and auto rotation works.
(Settings|Homescreen|Info)
You may have also the option to update in the info screen.

Hey, my Samsung Experience Home is version 9.0.10.76 and there's no such toggle in the menu unfortunately. Maybe that's a bug that I can't see home screen in landscape mode? I'm out of ideas.
In the actual App Info I only have - three dots - Uninstall updates, which I did before in Galaxy Apps and then updated, rebooted, no change.

Just switched from S8 to P30pro. What I miss ...

Hi, I just switched from Samsung Galaxy S8 to Huawei P30 pro.
What I miss 'till now is:
1) HD calls (Vo LTE) are they available?
2) phone with caller ID and spam protection: what do you suggest?
3) swipe down to open notification bar (edge gesture just installed works fine)
4) home with drawer: in drawer I see icons ordered by name with vertical scrolling. No way to create folders, move icons and have pagination?
5) seems stupid but was very useful: in Galaxy you can use a tool to take a partial screenshot and keep it floating on the screen. Useful p.e. if you have to write down info from a business card you photographed.

1- working for me
2- depends on where u at, where i live i used true caller till it got blocked
3- install 3rd party launcher
4- same as 3
5- use your knuckles, youtube it to learn how it is done

Thanks.
About screenshots: I can take screenshots using knuckles, I can save a partial screenshot,but I can't make it floating in the screen. You know how to do that (tried to search with no success)

You can split the screen by drawing from left to right with a knuckle across the middle of the screen. Place the screenshot in one half and your app in the other.

Once you take the screenshot, just click the small image of it on the bottom left, it will display it full screen so you can view it, or edit it.

Thanks all, but this do not reply to my question.
If you ever tried galaxy screenshot floating function you should. It's very useful!

Hey, i did the same switch.
Which app do you use for swipe down for notifications?
Playstore link?
Thx in advance

This one is good: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.de_studio.recentappswitcher.trial
But finally I reintroduced the bottom bar with fourth button to show notifications

Emui is the best(for me) , just give it some time. Samsung experience is the reason I never go with galaxy devices(my wife has s9)

I installed Nova Launcher (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher) as soon as I set up my P30 Pro. It'll take care of your #3 and 4 concerns.

MiHome - notification issue

Hello, that is my first topic over here and I would like to ask you for help with the above-mentioned issue with notifications from MiHome app.
For about 3-4 weeks I was fighting with that issue, but now I'm totally out of any ideas.
I gave all the permissions I found for that app:
Settings->Apps->App launch->MiHome manage manually - also the 3 dots on the top right corner again manage manually and checked the 3 ticks as well
Settings->Battery - over here I have no power saving mode enabled. Again checked the App launch from that menu and the result is as above
Settings->Notifications->MiHome - enabled also in DND mode
Settings->Apps->Apps->3dots->Special access->Battery optimization->MiHome->Don't allow
In that way the app is running ok for a few days and then again all the notifications are blocked for unknown reason.
Is there someone could help, as I'm at the edge to get another phone and that is something I don't want to do?

Did you find any solution? I've been without notification for more than a year... (P30) and no hope... I think I will change to Sonoff gateway and sell my Xiaomi devices...

Automatic Brightness Toggle

Hello guys, I just got the Color OS update installed here in Spain and I am missing the Automatic Brightness Toggle from the notifications drop-down menu.
It was missing also in the previous version of Color OS. I just watched a video talking about the Color OS 13 new features and it was clearly there.
I am not sure what's causing it. I can activate the automatic brightness from the main menu but when I override this setting from the drop-down menu, it would be really handy to reactivate from there.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you in advance!

I don't have the toggle either. It dissappeared after coloros 13 update unfortunately...
I didn't find any way to bring it back.

In my case, it was also missing in Color OS 12.1...

I remember in the Android 13 beta the toggle for automatic brightness was there, when I updated to the official version it disappeared.

Is there any news about the auto brightness switch? When I upgraded to android 13 I did factory reset and it still doesn't show up. Yesterday I upgraded to android 13.1 and it doesn't either. It's annoying having to go to the screen options every time I want to turn it on or off.
