Geely EX5 Helper

App which enables access to Venus Vehicle Tool and other settings. It's a MUST to have it installed BEFORE updating the car OS software. Software update 1.1.6 removes the menu, this app is the only way to get into it. Without this app pre-installed, should you update to software 1.1.6, there would be no way to enable adb and install apps.
Install and never delete it.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Waze doesn't turn into night mode.

A: This has nothing to do with my patch. Apparently, it's a long-running bug in Waze where on some systems it does this. It's widely discussed on the internet.

Q: Which app should I use for YouTube?

A: SmartTube works well. It uses swipe-based navigation (swipe from left and right sides of the screen towards the centre). Go to Player Settings and set Video Format to 720p avc. Anything with vp9 causes grey flickering.
