Launcher

Phone and Communications

The Phone page gives you communication features directly in your launcher. How to Open: - Swipe up from the bottom-right of the screen (default gesture — configurable in Settings > Gestures) - Assign 'Phone' to any shortcut in your theme 5 Tabs: 1. Favorites — Your starred contacts. One tap to call. 2. Recents — Your call history with color-coded types: green (incoming), blue (outgoing), red (missed). Tap to call back. 3. Contacts — Searchable contact list. Search by name or number. 4. Keypad — Numeric dialpad for manual dialing. 5. Messages — Messages captured from your phone's messaging apps (Google Messages, WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, etc.). Each message has a speaker button for text-to-speech read-aloud. Incoming Calls: When a call comes in, a full-screen call overlay appears with Answer and Decline buttons. During active calls: Mute, DTMF keypad, Hold, and End Call controls. Message Notifications: New messages show a banner on the screen. Enable 'Read messages aloud' in Settings to have them spoken via text-to-speech automatically. Music volume ducks while the message is read. Banner duration and position are configurable in Settings > Notifications. Bluetooth Notes: Contact sync depends on your head unit's Bluetooth capabilities. Standard Android head units use PBAP to sync contacts and call history from your phone. Some head units (like FYT/BLINK-based units) use a separate Bluetooth module — contact availability may be limited to recent callers. Permissions Required: - Contacts & Call Log (for favorites, recents, contacts) - Notification Listener (for message capture) - Set as Default Dialer (for answer/reject/hold controls)
