How do I set car mode to keep the screen on when I'm not using a dock?

Search for any settings in the car mode ...
Other solution is to install Screen Always On widgets.

Many apps force portrait mode, and the default places the power button at the bottom. I found it too easy to hit power by bumping it against my arm or chest while reading.
Is there a way to flip the default orientation by 180°?
I'm running TnT lite.
Old post bump, having same problem, just got a gtablet.
I'm running Vegantab.
Honeycomb will lock in portrait mode, I use it for reading all the time. That's one of my favorite things about it

Depends which launcher you have. Vtl launcher you need to go to settings and allow 180 rotation.
Apps natively have portrait mode with the soft keys on the top and the power button on the bottom
Is there a way to change that?

Is there a way to launch desk dock and car dock apps without d/l launcher pro or something else similar... I'm searching for a work around when the phone is plugged in USB.
You could try with tasker. For Example, the phone is in landscape mode AND the screen is locked (usually for phones used in cars) THEN start car mode?

Download anycut from the market and you can add a shortcut on your home screen for each one.
Why can't he add a Shortcut the normal way? Or what's so special about anycut?

because there's no shortcut for "Desk Home" (dock mode). It's only launched when you put the phone in a dock; using Any Cut will allow you to launch this mode with a simple shortcut.
This is exactly what I wanted!!!! Thanks!

You could just use the preinstalled Vlingo for a car dock application without using the car dock. It has an "InCar" mode
In the car dock (home screen that comes up when the Atrix is connected to the car dock) there are two screens with a total of 10 application buttons available. On my current ROM (alien #4) 6 of these are taken by default apps that can't be removed. Is there a way of removing these? Or replacing the car dock app with one that has all the app buttons available for custom apps?
Use Car Home from the market. It's a great app. and does everything you need.

That's great, thanks. I installed Car Dock Home v3, which works really well. My only criticism is that the UI isn't particularly polished compared to the stock app, but the ability to get rid of the default apps more than makes up for this!
As you can read in this thread:

The livedock enables the homescreen to be in landscape mode.
I was wondering if someone could find out how we can get landscape mode without the dock? I think if it's possible with dock it should also be possible without the dock in some way?

So if you put hdmi cable in the phone the homescreen is in landscape mode?
Is there not a developer who can find out how to enable it without hdmi/dock connected?
Maybe an app so the phone thinks a hdmi cable is connected?
Install GoLauncherEx.

Ok, i found an amazing app:

If you force it to landscape mode you will have homescreens in landscape, app drawer, in-call screen, ...
It's an amazing app.
Only the lockscreen stays in portrait mode.
Must have app for the people who use their phone in the car in landscape mode!

Maybe you have in your SmartConnect App a Profile that is launching the TV-App (or something similar) when you plug in your charger?
