Hi,
on pc when I select default dashboard, I retain access to the Overview tab in the sidebar. On android doing the same removes the tab. I would like to retain access to this tab on android as well without it being the 1st tab I see. I only found this topic with no replies Overview dashboard disappear.
Thanks for any suggestion.
this is HA frontend behavior, the app does not control it. Have you tried editing the sidebar once you set the default dashboard to see if you can add back Overview?
Apologies if I misunderstand, but if it was the default behaviour it would do what I want.

on android:
Where would I edit the sidebar? The only thing related to sidebar I found is an option Show in sidebar for every custom dashboard, however it is not present for Overview dashboard.
from the profile menu there is an edit sidebar option, alternatively in the app open sidebar and long press the top
I found it, but the Overview tab just ceases to exist on Android.

on android:
Desktop being my custom dashbard
may want to check open frontend issues as the app does not control that list. You can do a quick test too by checking the side bar using chrome for android on teh same device, most likely will look the same.
Indeed ha in browser on android does what I want I will check the frontend issues.
I’ve found this issue Changing default dashboard hides original default dashboard · Issue #11069 · home-assistant/frontend · GitHub, but it’s 1 year old with no progress. Added my report in nonetheless.
As advised in the github thread there is apparently an undocumented feature, that auto fills empty dashboard with w/e would be in Overview. I tested it on Android and it works.
Add new dashboard, name it and do not do anything else with it.
Then visit it via sidebar and it will show what would be in Overview tab.
+1 This is still an issue…
I did find a cumbersome workaround: On any dashboard > Menu > Edit Dashboard > Menu > Manage Dashboards > Open the Overview dashboard by clicking the pop-out button.
+1 Still an issue.
This is still an issue, right?
I still have the issue on my Android phone. As a workaround I keep a link in Chrome to the overview dash so I can always access it that way.
