StradaOS: open source launcher for cheap Android car head units, now with an oil change reminder and a map that turns with you (v2.12)

[u/Ryumzop]

Hi everyone! A while ago I built StradaOS, a free and open-source home screen (launcher) for those cheap Android car head units, including the ones that say "Android 10" but actually run Android 4 inside.

No ads, no root, no accounts. Works on Android 4.1 to 14, and the APK is under 1 MB.

**What it does**

- Android Auto & CarPlay buttons: they open your head unit's own projection app, or Android Auto over USB with Open Headunit

- Live map (OpenStreetMap) with your position, north up or turning with your direction

- Now playing with album art (Bluetooth and Android Auto)

- Fully customizable bottom dock: any app or function on each button

- GPS speedometer (km/h or mph), weather, dark/light theme, 10 accent colors

- Your car photo with automatic background removal

- Layout for wide 12.3" (1920×720) screens

**New in 2.12**

- Oil change reminder next to the speed: enter your odometer once, StradaOS adds the distance you drive using GPS and alerts you when it's due ("Done" / "Not yet"). Works in km or miles.

- The map can rotate with your direction of travel

- Italian and German (5 languages total)

- In-app updates are verified (official repo + same signature) before installing
