An in-car mode

[d4d]

An "in-car" mode would be great with features like :

- Keep Screen on / block Screen-lock from kicking in.

- A control panel with very large buttons for Stop/Play/Prev/Next that would be easy to hit whilst driving, without having to look at the screen for long.

- Fast scrolling of track info, so that again, the user could see the info in a very quick glance.

there's a free app that does that for you called "car dock home"

i use it with the poweamp big widget and it works great!

it can disable screen timeout, set music volume to max, disable wifi and enable bluetooth on enter, and restore settings on exit. pretty nice.

oh and you can add big buttons for all your apps, play, pause etc

Thanks for the request.

PowerAMP a bit constrained now on skins (as skins take a lot in apk), but I think I will release the separate downloadable package with in-car skins when support for 3rd party skins will be added in PowerAMP v2.0.

+1 for this feature.

I primarily use Poweramp whilst driving, so an interface with large buttons for Play/Pause/Skip/Shuffle would be great. You could lose the Album Art in order to create the space.

Great app by the way
