Stops Android Auto from taking over the control of your phone screen. Keeps Screen Brightness and Screen Timeout. (60+ blocks)
The history behind:
I made this flow a couple of years ago. Back then, whenever you connected to the car, the phone screen would open Android-Auto app and leave it pinned, removing the ability of the home button to take you back to the home screen.
Also, the screen timeout would change to 10secs, and the brightness to a very dim setting.
This flow was meant to circumvent that "security feature".
Bring my launcher back to foreground (in my case NovaLauncher) and fixing the timeout and brightness.
Nowadays, android Auto behaviour was updated, so it doens't pin the app anymore, you can use the home button again.
But I still find the other settings automations worth it, so I keep using it.
I posted the flow as is, I left some floating disconnected blocks, I was testing them. I'll cleanup and update it here when I get more time.
As educational reference, one interesting thing was that this flow would fork into 3 fibers so it could monitor 3 different trigger events asynchronously. like changes on connectivity, changes of foreground app, etc
