app-degoogled* <- The izzyOnDroid release that goes without any of the google stuff.

As usual, any dev contributions appreciated as I am not actually a java/mobile dev, so my progress is significantly slower than those who do this on the daily.

Big thanks to all the folks who have been contributing. We have a new icon designed but I could use some help if anyone wants to do a PR to implement it.

To the mods: I'm releasing a few times a month so I'm trying to post every other release as to note spam the sub. Please advise on proper protocol.

Hi All, my fork of Tempo has had a rebrand, which was a requirement to get back into the app stores as the original Tempo still exists in F-Droid/IzzyOnDroid

Tempus v4.0.7

Attention

This release will not update previous installs as it is considered a new app, no longer Tempo, new icon, new app id, and new app name. Hoping it will not be a huge inconvenience but was necessary in order to publish to app stores izzyDroid

Android Auto Support should be the same as before, however, I was not able to test any of the icons/visuals, so please let me know if there are any remnants of the tempo logo/icon as I believe I removed them all and replaced them successfully.

What's Changed

fix: Crash on share no expiration date or field returned from api
fix: Check also underlying transport 
feat: Unhide genre from album details view 
fix: persist album sorting on resume 
chore: Tempus rebrand 
chore: Update Polish translation 

Now available via the IzzyOnDroid Repository -> https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.eddyizm.degoogled.tempus

Hi All, I am not sure if this is post is ok here so please let me know if not. I did not see any other android community that was a decent size for development so figured there might be some devs in here.

I recently forked an FOSS project that has an android auto component to it. I don't have a physical device to test with in my car so I need to set up an emulator.

Challenge is, I am struggling to figure out how to do so, from what I can gather, it is either the same? or you can launch from a local device connected via usb and it launches to an emulator as if it was a head unit? I am clearly missing something and all the articles I've seen have not really gotten me over the finish line.

Any links or tips appreciated!
