Adding widgets to home screen on Eonon GA2114?

[Cret]

Hi guys

Just received this head unit today and it's my first android device for a few years - spent the evening installing it and I love it already - it's a huge leap from stuff I've had in the past.
One thing I can't see how to do though is how to add/change widgets on the main home screen on this version of android/this head unit.

I'm sure on previous android devices I've had it's been a case of doing a long press maybe on blank space on the screen, but this doesn't do anything. I found a screen panel which has some widgets that can be added to additional screens, but not the main one, and it doesn't include the items currently present, not things like app shortcuts etc etc.

This is probably a stupid/easy question sorry but I can't find out on this device how I change these, so if someone could assist I'd be really grateful, thanks!

Jim

Hi

I moved your thread to Q&A-Section.

Would you please tell us which ROM you are using? Or are you still on stock?

 

[Cret]

Sorry, my bad. Thanks for moving it!

It's still the stock rom. Does it say the details for that in settings where it has the other details such as model/processor etc?

Thanks!

Anyone?

Thanks if anyone can help

You'll need to use a different launcher. The default ones (next, etc) do not allow much/any modification

Thanks for the tip Brendo - didn't realise that's what it came down to.

I'll have a look into alternatives, but are there certain ones that are favoured for head units as opposed to ones that might be favourites on phones for different reasons etc?

Cheers!

Right - after some searching and reading I'm gonna change the launcher to Nova as it looks great and very flexible.
Also going to stick poweramp in it I think as a better quality music player.
