How to install Dashboard APK on your Karoo

With approval from Hammerhead, I'm posting an APK for Dashboard which I created from an off-the-shelf tool that can be sideloaded onto your Karoo. I've only tested it on my K2 but I believe it can be used with the K1. It works well but not perfectly. The UI is a bit off but functional for basic use. (I did not test full functionality.)

• Why do this? Out of laziness and a desire to see more data from my rides. I review my ride right after I finish and would prefer to see it on one device, rather than switching to my phone to use the Dashboard WebAPK. 

• It's a temporary measure until HH develops a fully expanded ride dataset for the device

• One nice feature: you can convert a ride to a route directly from the Karoo and it will sync to the Routes tab. It works. Saving the name of the route is a bit tricky, but doable.

• Download the APK to your PC or Mac: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cyqd8fnlku9gah7/Karoo2 Dashboard_1_1.0.apk?dl=0:

• Installation: Rather than provide sideloading instructions here, head on over to DCRainmaker: https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2021/02/how-to-sideload-android-apps-on-your-hammerhead-karoo-1-karoo-2.html 

When you're done you'll find Dashboard on the Karoo's built-in app screen (i.e., Rides, Routes ,etc):

Note: You only need to log-in once. When leaving the app use exit or the back button but don't sign off.  I'm sure I missed some things. Please let me know.

Hope you like it.
