About Car Mode Root

Super simple app that enables and disables the Car Dock functionality.

*Root is required, no question*

*Does not work with Android 5.0 Lollipop*

The reason why root is required is because I have to make one particular call via the shell that you cannot normally do with normal Android SDK broadcast intent capabilities.

This is a super simple app that enables and disables the Car Dock function. Once given the super user permission, you can just tap on the app in your app drawer or leave it as an app on your homescreen that sort of doubles as a 1x1 widget but as an app icon.

Do not disable the car dock mode from the system notification, it will cause rotation to stick until reboot. This is a system provided notification that disables car dock "incorrectly".

Tested and working Devices

Implemented a Max SDK property for the manifest. This root feature does not work on Lollipop, flashes Android Auto and disables your home button.

KitKat (4.4.4 / API 19) is the highest supported at the moment.
