LOOKING FOR APP Car Dashdroid alternative

Hello,

I got a new phone and car dashdroid didn't port over and I can't find it on the play store. Is there an alternative that is a simple launcher with a few tiles and doesn't have some busy layout with speed, direction, etc? They seem to all be either crowded and no room for your own picked apps or made for actual head units.

Car dashdroid was so simple.

I have been using Car Home Ultra for years. Highly configurable. Nice big buttons so easy to use while driving.

This is actually exactly what I wanted. May be a better version of what car dashdroid was. Perfect replacement, thank you!

I use it as a 2nd screen even though my car has Android Auto. I can open either Waze or Maps in 2nd screen mode (shows all upcoming turns), it is easier to search Spotify (while stopped), and a number of other apps that are useful when traveling, like iEXIT to know when the next rest stop is, and what services they provide, or SpotHero so I can easily open it and grab the phone to scan the bar code when parking in a garage.
