Cut Right Sharpening
Ok. Took me a bit of time but got it going on a Hikity 10.1 Inch Android Car Stereo from Amazon. For those with Music Player (and maybe radio) issues I found that I had to go into the device factory settings and disable some things associated with what boots when and what could mix sounds with other things. I am using the Real Shuffle Player because i have about 2300 song trcks from about 100 albums in 6 folder s (Upbeat, Slow, Slow Romantic, Sad, Movie/musical Sound tracks and Strange stuff/party music/protest) and RSP will treat a Folder like a play list. Tried several other players and all of them pulled the music off the USB and put everything into the original albums. The most difficult setting was getting the Compass to display. As others have noted, it would be nice to be able to side swipe to get a blank page or better, to switch between running apps like having the navigation running on one window and being able to slide it over to look at the compass to make better sense of what the navigation is telling me to do.

In previous versions the app functioned better. Now when I press the apps icon it briefly shows the apps then crashes back to the home screen. Which almost renders this app useless. It keeps saying that it can't access GPS. No longer can access the built-in music player. Thinking of filing a complaint with Google play to get my money back.

The look and feel are perfect. I like the 'slide to center' interface, the layout, etc. I like the huge 'back' button on the left when you leave the main page. Very nice looking. There is not a lot of customizing though - you can change the shortcuts and colors. Many of the built-in tools do not work. The compass is all over the place, yet another compass app works perfect. The built in music info and controls do not seem to work at all with bluetooth music from my phone (I can set the default music player to bt music, but it does not display song info, time, etc). This launcher runs very fluidly - doesn't seem to tax my memory at all. I will play around with it a little more, but I'll probably use one of the other launchers until this one evolves a little more.
