OK, been a while since I've run android (Galaxy S7, One Plus 7+), but i got fed up with what apple/iTunes does to my library.
So, I'm back with an S25 and really missing Rivian Controls for the pull down quick access menu. My iPhone:
Rivian R1T R1S Rivian Controls for Android Quick Access Pull Down 1000043344

I've had a hard time finding a good solution without buying Nova Launcher.
Does anyone know how to add this functionality without restoring to a full launcher change?

I use the widget so I always have the car on one of my screens.
I do the same, the only problem is that you have to have your phone unlocked which requires an extra step compared to the iPhone option.

I use the widget too on my s23 ultra, but in the quick access menu would be awesome.

I've got the widget as well, but the face recognition doesn't seem to open it as easily as I'm used to.

Doesn't you phone just unlock when you look at the screen (face unlock). You have to look at the screen anyway to press and activate a widget function.

I don't use FaceID (isn't as reliable on android and even on iPhone you end up in conditions where it doesn't detect a face) but fingerprint.

While I can unlock by just touching the screen without even looking, it will open in whatever app I left open last requiring me to click the home button first and then re-lock the phone.

It's a VERY minor issue, but still I would take an option directly from the lock screen

I turned off fingerprint hoping it would be more reliable, but even with face it still makes me use a password half the time. Oh, and my password i have to hit ok after the password which adds another movement over the iPhone.
Niggly things, but i had gotten used to them.

My fingerprint works 99% of the time (luckily) and my pin doesn't require me to hit OK (though it had to be 6 digits for that).
