ATTO 3 · Dolphin · Seal

Picks the theme. The dashboard and dock switch to that theme's look. On the Seal the cluster follows too: if it was on the stock cluster it changes to the Beetle cluster, unless you have put navigation on the cluster. Looks and tile positions are saved per theme.

Pick one or more built-in themes you do not use and remove them from the list. Beetle and custom themes are not offered. A deleted theme cannot be brought back; if you delete the one in use, the launcher switches to Beetle.

Shows or hides the info panel in the middle of the My car tile — how far you can go, money saved, your time together, and a one-line note. Tap the panel to move to the next one. Turn it off and the gear and car picture go back to their old places. Applies to every theme.

Sets the interior ambient lighting to the car colour closest to the current theme's signature colour. Only shown on the Seal, which has ambient lighting. Turning it off restores the colour and on/off state from before.

Returns the current theme to how it shipped. Only what you changed in this theme is lost; other themes are untouched.

Picks light or dark text automatically, to suit the background.

The typeface for the whole launcher. It changes as soon as you pick one.

Picks the dashboard background picture. Only the Beetle and Sunshine themes have this row; other themes use their own background.

Hides the Android status bar and uses the whole screen.

Hides the stock bottom dock even while another app such as TMAP is in front. While it is hidden, swipe up from the bottom edge to bring it back briefly. It cannot be changed while wireless ADB is closed. This row only appears on Android 10 head units.

How quickly the gauge needles follow the value.

How the speed itself is shown.

OptionsDigitalAnalog

Speed measured by satellite. It differs from the car's own speed by a few km/h.

OptionsHiddenDigitalAnalog

A dashboard gauge. On this car it draws motor power (kW), not RPM. If the car reports no value the dial hides itself.

OptionsHiddenDigitalAnalog

Whether the dashboard speed tile shows a regenerative-braking dial. If the car reports no value the dial hides itself.

OptionsHiddenAnalog

Whether tyre pressure is shown in bar, psi or kPa.

OptionsbarpsikPa

Optionskm/hmph

For each dock row — climate, control, media and car functions — choose whether it sits in the bottom dock or in a separate dock at the top of the screen.

OptionsBottomTop

Whether the dock carries a row of vehicle-function buttons. “Edit items” picks which ones.

How tall the dock is.

OptionsSmallNormalLarge

Dock colour. “Default” is the usual colour. Only shown in the Beetle theme, and saved per theme.

Whether app icons sit in the dock.

Whether names appear under the icons.

Which app the music controls talk to.

“Edit apps” picks what goes in the dock.

On puts the launcher’s cluster screen on the instrument cluster; off hands it back to the stock cluster. Same setting as the dock’s Cluster button.

Whether the track now playing also shows on the cluster.

Where on the cluster the track info appears: the centre or one of the four corners. The default is the centre. The top strip is drawn by the car itself, so things placed there can be covered.

OptionsCentreTop leftTop rightBottom leftBottom right

Whether the launcher’s cluster uses the cluster’s Small (small navigation) mode or its All mode. If TMAP turns on with it in All, try Small.

OptionsSmallAll

When the car flips the cluster back to its own mode — the right-hand steering-wheel button does this — put our mode back once.

When another app covers the cluster, put our screen back a moment later. Nothing arbitrates that screen — whatever drew last is what you see — so putting it back is the only defence.

Draws the cluster as an overlay window so it sits on top of TMAP's own cluster.

The cluster catches fire in Sport mode. It redraws at 20fps, so turn it off if it costs too much.

Whether the cluster background is a solid colour or the stock background. A per-drive-mode photo, if set, shows first.

OptionsSolidStock background

The colour used when the background is set to a flat colour.

Darkens the background photo so the numbers on top of it stay readable.

“View” opens a window with CPU, GPU and memory use, refreshed every second. Values the system will not give are shown as “—”.

At boot, or when the screen comes back on, brings Beetle Launcher to the front if the stock home is showing. It does not cover another app, such as navigation, that is already in front.

Starts the turn-signal camera ahead of time when the car starts. If the turn-signal camera is off this does nothing. Needs wireless ADB.

An indicator showing whether Beetle Launcher is the default home right now. If it is off, the home key does not come to the launcher.

Sets the default home (the row reads “Set Beetle Launcher as home” while another app is home). “System chooser” opens Android's home-app picker; “Set via ADB” makes Beetle Launcher the home through wireless ADB. Either one also turns on re-applying it after each boot.

An indicator: whether this car can split the screen right now.

This car cannot put the home app into split screen. Hand the home role back to the stock launcher and Beetle Launcher can go into a split.

Connects over wireless ADB and grants the launcher permissions such as WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS. When “Allow USB debugging” appears on the car screen, choose “Always allow”. Do this before accessibility and notification access.

The permission the launcher uses to tap through stock screens for you. “On” registers it; if self-grant has not been done yet, it runs self-grant over wireless ADB first.

An indicator only: whether wireless ADB is open right now. There is no button to switch it on here.

The permission used to read the title and cover of the track that is playing. “On” registers it; self-grant has to be done first.

Enter a Gemini API key. “QR” reads just this key from a QR picture. With a key set, a start-up “Greeting” row appears under Settings › Sound.

“My keys as QR” shows the keys you have entered as a QR code. Put a photo of it into the other car's picture folder and press “Read” to load all the keys at once.

Backs up your API keys outside the app. It also does this by itself each time a key is saved; the line underneath says whether a backup exists.

Deletes the key backup kept outside the app.

The version installed right now.

The commit that build came from.

An eight-character tag made the first time the app ran (followed by your nickname if you set one). Include it in a photo when you report something so the car can be told apart. It is not personal data such as the VIN.

Shown only if the screen ever froze for more than 25 seconds and the launcher handed home back to the stock launcher; it shows when that last happened. To use Beetle Launcher as home again, take it back under System › Normal.

Checks for a new release. The download runs in the background and you are asked before it installs. On a test build it takes you back to the release.

Fetches a test build. It needs the developer password and a download key, and is never fetched automatically.

Reads cluster-side settings and system details and shows them in a window. Nothing is changed; part of it is read over wireless ADB, so “Allow USB debugging” may appear.

Deletes the stored logs and starts collecting afresh straight away.
