When the Phoenix Radio boots (or fast-boots), \nthe Alt Launcher starts the apps it is configured to start. The primary purpose \nis to launch two apps in split screen mode. You can select which app to be on \nthe top half of the screen, and the app for the bottom half. Prior to starting \nthose apps, it can launch services or apps that need to run in the background.\n\nInstallation Note: The Alt Launcher does not show up in the launcher that comes \nwith the Phoenix radios. During the installation process, be sure to click the \n\"Open\" button to run it once. From that point on, it will run in the \nbackground. If you don't start it during the installation process, the only way \nto start it is with another app that launches apps (like CarWebGuru).\n\nAccessing the app\n\nTo get into the Alt Launcher, swipe down from the top of the screen to view \nnotifications, and click on the \"Alt Launcher\" notification. It has the \nmessage \"Foreground Service Started\".
