Hey all, I am havin an issue with installing "google car home". I had CM on a HTC sapphire and it would show up in the market now it doesn't. I assume thats because google isn't releasing car home for P500 over market. I have tried installing the app and launcher apks from sdcard as "user apps" and also bundling them into "system apps" on a resigned ROM to no avail. Whats up with that.
Most recently packaged with void-base as system app. The launcher icon appears on install in the app drawer, when it is hit the indicator icon appears in notification bar however the car home UI does not appear. Is this a problem with the ROM, or maybe launcher pro, or the way I am installing it? It came packaged with the stock Tmo and worked.
Some questions I have to trouble shoot this: where are the "user apps" stored? I am not running a2sd. what is the name of the stock home app so I can switch from Launcher pro?
Thnaks
Hi, I came on here looking for the same answer, I've started using the navigation app and I'd like to install Google Car Home. It says it's non compatible, can anyone help?
Thanks.
Try installing the one below.

I use bettercut, works just fine for me. I add through the "add" menu though, as if I was adding a widget. If i open the app and hit new shortcut it doesn't recognize my launcher (adw).
if you use touchwiz, place the stock maps shortcut on your phone, open bettercut, and choose edit shortcut, see if that works.
every other icon is working fine other than the map one i tired on adw lp and touchwiz and it doesn't work on any of them

Didn't have a maps shortcut but I literally just did menu > add > shortcuts > bettercut > activity > google maps. Changed the icon and saved it, worked just fine. Maybe the icon back? Uninstall and reinstall bettercut?
Did you make the icon before updating google maps. I have to re-add my google voice icon to launcher pro's dock every time I update it.
Im having the same issue with the map shortcut, but only in launcher pro, not touchwiz. It works in the dock but not the home screen. Tried joe's method to add but still no luck.

yeah i tried uninstalling and installing bettercut and still a no go
The Launcher Pro on Axura turned out to be a free "TRIAL" launcher, now that it expired it will not allow me to go to the home screen to select another launcher. Holding the home button brings up the samsung task manager.
How do I bypass that and select a new launcher? Remember I CANNOT acess the home screen at all! tapping the home key takes me to a none existent launcherpro website
Settings - applications - manage applications. Select launcher pro and press ' clear defaults.'
Or just go in the market and update to the latest version.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Menu, Settings, Applications, Manage applications. Find LauncherPro and select it. Select Clear defaults.
Go to settings ,launcher ,clear defaults then you should be able to choose another launcher but I could be wrong I've not used axura for a while now
You guys best me to it lol
Ok you aren't getting what I am saying, I cannot access the homescreen, so no I will not be able to get to the settings. The only screens I can access are whatever is in my upper drawer (eg someone sends a text or email, I can pull down and go to that screen) or whatever is in the Samsung task manager after long pressing the homekey. If not I am stuck on the browser on a nonexistent website.
Go to the market and download Home Switcher App.should fix your issue! If you cant go to the marke.then try using Google to find it! I would post it for you.but I'm only on my vibrant.no wifi for my laptop.

Hey can you uninstall it using the Samsung task manager.click on packages and try uninstalling launcher pro. As long as you already have a different launcher installed. that should work. Try it!

Thanks, but I tried that but it seems once the launcherpro was somehow disabled by the app owners, it does not show up under packages. I cannot see it to disable or even uninstall (which is what I wanna do now!)
At this point it is starting to look like LauncherPro has bricked my device

Ok I fixed it
I went to this site (thanks darkside79) http://www.appbrain.com/app/home-switcher-for-froyo/ymst.android.homeswitcherfroyo on my phone. Clicked a link to download directly from the marketplace. That allowed me to go to the market where I uninstalled the LauncherPro. Hitting the homekey brought me to the launcher selection menu, picked Zeam and now I have access to the phone again!
Glad I could help!

Thanks for posting this…I had the same problem. Went to the link you providedand sent the app to my gmail and installed it from the notification bar. I was able to clear the data stored in LauncherPro but was not able to uninstall from the “manage applications” area. (Will try to uninstall thru TitaniumBackup soon…) Then, changed the default launcher from LauncherPro to Zeam and was able to use everything again. Thanks again for the post
Maybe OT, but i wonder why the dev used a trial version of LauncherPro in the final ROM? Maybe he didn't know?

Thanks! I followed your exacts instructions and was able to switch as well finally! Btw, for the people who don't have Froyo yet, use the regular homeswitcher http://www.appbrain.com/app/home-switcher/ymst.android.homeswitcher#
Also thanks to darkside79!
Hi,
when I had stock samsung firmware I had a widget that easily let me free RAM and see what applications were running. Does anyone know if you can get the APK file for this widget and install it on CyanogenMod?
PS: I am talking about the widget in the picture that says Active Applications.
Thanks
anyone????????
I'm looking for this too, I thought it's part of the TouchWiz launcher, was surprised to see it's not there with the custom ROMs

Try "active apps" in the market.
Hi Guys,
I am looking at a good way to hide apps from the list. I want the apps to be able to run (like Email) and do the sync, but not to display the icons in the list. I have seen that ICS comes with a "Disable" function for system apps, but it doesn't work for me because it also prevents the app from running.
I also want a way to launch the apps myself (through a hidden menu or command) at will.
I have tried things like Application Protection, which allows you to password protect the apps you want. However, since the icons are still there, it is still tempting for my kind to click and ask for the password.
Thoughts?

Hi Mr. Indigo,
Where do I get the latest version of HeLauncher? What are other similar ones?
Will that change the UI of my phone? I love stock ICS UI..

Yes, will.
My friend installed on my phone. But you can found another launcher who does the same thing. Then, go to Settings -> Applications -> Quick Start and see the shortcut!

Thank you. I found the Apex Launcher, and that is accomplishing what I need. (A mix of hiding apps + launching apps through gestures).
GoLauncher also supports the hiding feature.
For running the app even though it is hidden you can put them on a (home)screen or folder before you hide them from the app launcher. They will of course still be there after you hid these apps from the launcher.
Have fun! :victory:
hi
is there anyway to do above without launcher?
i mean hide them while they also keep running but not using launcher?
Hi guys. My first thread here and it's a problem.
I just bought my HDX 8.9, and installed apps from outside the amazon appstore. I did it through a alternative market, transfered form my PC or by bluetooth with my phone.
The problem is that after i installed any of them, they doesn't appear on the APP drawer, the only apps that still there are the amazon appstore ones. And i checked Cloud and Device tab and nothing.
I can only access to them by EFS Explorer, and that's annoying.
Its still happens before and after rooting the HDX, so i think rooting is not the problem.
I don't know what to do, i googled the issue and there's not info about it
Cheers and thanks!
Forgive me if I misunderstand, but are you talking about the home screen or after pressing Apps from the Home screen? The apps screen should show everything you have installed. The pull out drawer shows only the last apps you opened similar to the carousel at the top if the Home Screen.
To add apps to the Home Screen, open the Apps screen and long press on the app you want and select Add to Home.
edit: after reading your question again, I see that it is the app screen you're having problems with. I have not seen that problem. You might try reinstalling the downloaded app.

Exactly the app doesn't show up on the home screen and neither on the app menu.
I only can acces to them when i open ES Explorer > App Managament. There i can open them.
And yes i installed and reinstalled them, and the problem still.
It's sooo weird.
Maybe is the Mojito OS
When I install a sideloaded APK or install using 1Mobile, the app icon does not automatically appear on my home screen carousel. I have to go to the apps tab, then select "on device", then launch the app from there the first time. After that the icon appears on the carousel. Hope that helps.

I think it's "add to home" but yeah, that's what I do.
Icons like a bit crappy a they're massively scaled, but they do show.

Guys, read again. The icons doesn't even appear on the "on device" list.
I can only access to them by ES Explorer > Apps Management.

It only show me the amazon apps only, and the suggested one from the market.
Like i said, i don't have any clue why this is happening to me. It's super weird.
Man, this is really weird... What if you get to the app manager where all the apps are listed (including the system apps). Don't remember how I got there but you could try to install let's say Nova launcher and access the apps from there..
You did set the trusted sources or what's it called to no didn't you? (I think there are like 2 switches for that in preferences. Don't have the device here right now in order to check)

It worked by using Nova Launcher!!! Now i can acces to all my apps and put them on the home screen!
Sadly that all look so small. It's like a phone setting.
¿There's any tablet version of Nova Launcher?
It so weird, it's like my Kindle default launcher it's bugged for not let me see my external apps.

Yes, that's the problem with other launchers and the kindle. Unfortunately they don't work as they should. No widgets, no background etc. Buzz launcher has also worked for me but don't expect much either... Your problem is really odd though and we should try find an other solution

Yeah it is.
But atm i can live by replacing the launcher. It patch the my main issue.
I will keep it like this until a custom rom appears.
Btw. Any good alternative market with a good update pace? Now I'm using 1mobilmarket.

1 mobile is good I use it too. You can use the 'forbidden' markets as well, since they offer also some free versions of the apps. You can Google the apps you want too. Many of them (if not all) can be found on the web or the developers homepage for direct download. Otherwise you could try to use apk extractor from play store. Put it on your phone, extract the app Sent it to your mail and install it to your Kindle. (not tested myself but it should work flawlessly)
