So let me get this straight, you decided to change the Radio Display because you thought it should be more "Fancy" and now you hate it and want to go back?
i never changed anything, it happened overnight

Take a pic of what changed, and has this ever been updated from the OE version?

If is has never been updated, then others have stated that the 2019 OE has updates that changed the display.
If you have kept up on the updates then something did not (update) correctly.
It would be easier if you posted a pic to compare to what is normal.

Since mine is a 22, the 2nd pic is the only one I have seen and is the new normal screen.
Since it updated and there were known issues with previous versions you may want to ensure you are on the most current (23188) as all the previous versions had various issues, so far it has proven to be the most stable version. I have never had issues myself but other members have.

Your second picture has little detail (too small) but it appears to be the home screen (button in upper left screen that looks like a house). What screen do you see when you press the Audio button in lower left screen? That should restore your screen to look like the top picture.

That's the new Android Auto screens. Nothing to do with SYNC.

That is the Sync screen and not the Android Auto screen
My bad! I stand corrected. I never stay on the home screen long enough to even look at it. I'm usually on the audio screen for my USB chip or the climate screen.

Have you touched the Audio button on the bottom left of your screen to return to the audio screen that you want to view? You can toggle between those two screens using the Home button and then the Audio button. Have you tried it?

This is what it looks like to me. Audio (top) vs Home (bottom) - you can get between those screens super easily anytime.

I feel ya... The lack of customizability drove me nuts with the Ford Sync3 system. It felt like it was something that should be served to prisoners. That's why I bit the bullet and went with the Linkswell Gen6 unit. Now,,, I can customize the UI to anything I can dream up. The Android Auto actually works and stays connected. You'd be shocked at how big the sound improvement is. I can watch TV & movies from damn near ANY service. My truck has it's own sim card, cell number, and wifi hotspot. It looks great and it transforms the entire interior. If it broke tomorrow,,, I would buy another one just like it as a replacement.

Can you connect Bluetooth devices to the Linkswell? I have a Yulu E10 and am sending it back for a few reasons but one of them is that I can't connect Bluetooth devices to it other than the phone. I want to connect my obd sensor to it so I can use the Torque app.

Interesting question.

I don't know the answer.

It's essentially a large Android Tablet so anything capable of connecting to 1 should work... I think.
