steveinyork Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I was thinking was using my phone in my car but I don't have android auto so I'd just have it plugged into the aux socket. Using Poweramp is ok but the buttons are a bit close when I'm driving so I was looking for something with a few huge buttons (play, pause, skip back/forward), really easy to hit while driving. If I'm driving I'm not going to be messing around with playlists or sound setting so those could be hidden behind a menu button. Has anyone done anything like this would anyone else find it useful?

steveinyork Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 I don't want you to be intimidated by my epic design skills! 🤣 I don't even know if this is in anyway possible, but I was thinking really simple, huge buttons for the main playback functions and two menu buttons, one for selecting an album (or playlist) and one for the more complicated Poweramp stuff, graphics equalizer , play list creation (stuff you not going to want to do while driving!). I just thought it might be useful option if you want to use Poweramp while driving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingdutchman Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 @steveinyork I think some of this is possible. I'll give it a go. I will start with finding some nice play buttons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingdutchman Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Proof of Concept. the screenshots show the first draft of a simple layout. Unfortunately the swipe action is not available as none of the buttons would register the tap. Any reactions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveinyork Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 like them both but for usability I think the top one has the edge, the buttons stand out a bit more. but yeah big easy to hit buttons...look great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingdutchman Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 unfortunately I cannot influence the colours so when a background is red such as in the screenshot, the visibility of the buttons will suffer. However, you can switch the album cover colours off so you have a black background. Currently working on the landscape layout. This will be a sceond skin in my yaps app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingdutchman Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 @steveinyork just released the new version of yaps. You will find the new skin there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingdutchman Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 @steveinyork did you install the skin?. Does it meet your expectations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveinyork Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 @flyingdutchman Used it on my drive on Friday, works really well, landscape is great, portrait the album info is behind the play button but that in no way detracts from the way it works. Really easy to hit the buttons when I need to skip. Nice job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
