Alt Launcher

The Problem: Phoenix Radios Android tablet style radios do not allow for

running apps on boot or fastboot.

This app solves that problem. When the Phoenix Radio boots (or fast-boots),

the Alt Launcher starts the apps it is configured to start. The primary purpose

is to launch two apps in split screen mode. You can select which app to be on

the top half of the screen, and the app for the bottom half. Prior to starting

those apps, it can launch services or apps that need to run in the background.

Installation Note: The Alt Launcher does not show up in the launcher that comes

with the Phoenix radios. During the installation process, be sure to click the

"Open" button to run it once. From that point on, it will run in the

background. If you don't start it during the installation process, the only way

to start it is with another app that launches apps (like CarWebGuru).

Accessing the app

To get into the Alt Launcher, swipe down from the top of the screen to view

notifications, and click on the "Alt Launcher" notification. It has the

message "Foreground Service Started". If the notification is not available,

start the Alt Launcher using a non-stock launcher like CarWebGuru.

In the main scren, the Alt Launcher displays the services, background apps, and top and bottom apps it is configured to start on booot or fast boot.

Background Apps

At the top of the main screen is the list of apps that will start and then be

put in the background. They are started in the order shown. To add a new one,

click the "Add a new Background App" button, and select the desired app. To

remove an app from the list, click on that app.
