"Homescreen" launchers for external desktops
1 project | /r/androiddev | 30 May 2023

Or does Android maybe already work this way? I am not aware of any desktop-mode launchers. I am aware of Taskbar, but as far as I recall, it does not provide everything that a desktop environment does. I could be wrong though.
Alternatives to Android Auto
1 project | /r/degoogle | 21 Dec 2022

I was using LineageOS for a long time with core google services + android auto. I have a Toyota Yaris (2022) and I was getting used to Android Auto, especially for Maps. Now I 'm going for grapheneOS and pixel phones and I 'm in the transition of moving away for anything google. What I 'll miss the most is Android Auto on my car's dashboard and the safety it provides in terms of design (big buttons etc). I tried to use Miracast but it's not available when the car is moving. I found this app called (Taskbar)[https://github.com/farmerbb/Taskbar] which imo is the best replacement for android auto. You can pin your apps you want and they are always visible to switch them. Is there anyway that can improve my situation? Taskbar is good, but is out there anything better?
Is it possible to output a custom video signal with phones that have DisplayPort Alt Mode?

For that, the device that you would be developing for needs Android 10+ and you would be making a launcher. Check out Taskbar, libtaskbar and the xda developers article mentioning it.

Taskbar (version 6.2): Use a start menu to access apps
The Taskbar app keeps crashing on my device.
1 project | /r/Androidx86 | 11 Dec 2021

However, you can still install the regular version of Taskbar alongside the bundled Android-x86 version, and just use that version instead. You can either install it from the Play Store or grab the apk from here. It should behave mostly the same as the bundled version, just without the option to only display currently running apps (since that requires a permission that only system apps can use). So I'd say give that version a try and see if that fixes your crashing issue, if it doesn't, let me know.

Check out Taskbar on Github here to get started. That's all I can suggest, other than to say Android 9 is pretty old with respect to external display features.
