How to force Android Auto to display the app bar on left side of screen?

[tschwei]

Hi Andre,

Thank you for developing & updating HURevised!

I've been using it on an Amazon Fire HD 10" and it works much better with the latest versions of Android Auto & Gemini than HUR does.

Question:
I prefer to display AA in landscape mode and have the app/task bar on the left side of the screen (rather than on the bottom). Previously with HUR, I was able to do that by adjusting the DPI setting and adding 20 to the left & right margins (decreasing the display width). Apparently that would cause AA to think there isn't enough horizontal space to place the taskbar on the bottom of the screen so it moves it to the left edge instead.

But this trick doesn't appear to work with HURevised (or maybe the latest versions of AA app changed how this works)?

Do you know of a way to get the AA app/task bar to appear on the left side of the screen with Headunit Revived?

Please keep up the great work!

Thanks,
Tim

Hi, DPI is the only way. I guess at 200 and more it goes to the left icon view.

Thanks Andre,

I have tried setting the DPI in Headunit Revived to each of these values (and values in-between) on my tablet in landscape mode:
150
200
250
300
but unfortunately the AA app bar still appears on the bottom with all of these values. Maybe it's related to the high 1920x1200 resolution of my display? (Text in Google Maps & Waze is very small below 200 DPI on my screen.)

I guess I'll just live with the AA app bar on the bottom, unless someone has been able to get it to appear on the left side of their landscape screen.
