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!
I remember i had some 4.0.4 ics image with builtin dock app. Im talking not about car dock app, but usual dock. I have dock station on my desk. But now, when i plug my phone in dock application/ui does not appear.

Any additional expirience or info ?
Does anyone know why my car home app won't start up when car mode does? It was always automatic on my previous devices.

samsung doesn't have a car home app. just navigation.
easiest way to get that on when you enter a car is tac tiles.

I've installed a 3rd party car home app, though.
Anyone?
I use Car Home Ultra @ https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDMsInNwaW5uaW5naGVhZC5jYXJob21lIl0 without any issues.

But does it start automatically when Car Mode starts, or do you have to do it manually?
It did on my thunderbolt, I don't have a car dock for the note yet.

My wife recently bought me the stereoclip, I personally wouldn't have spent the money for it. When I pair with the device it is suppose to automatically launch the car app. But for some reason it never does. Does anyone here own one that can verify if it's just me doing something wrong? Appreciate any help!

To the best of my knowledge it works the other way around. If you dock the phone it will launch the car app which will then turn on Bluetooth and automatically pair the phone with the stereoclip as long as it's on. I believe you have to also enable that setting by tapping the notification panel on the bottom of car home when its launched.

Yes i get what your saying. But in my situation i have the dock but the connector on it broke so i cant launch the car app like that anymore. But like this video shows http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Q34yRuHXb8 the stereoclip is suppose to be able to launch the car app as well.

I've honestly never seen that feature listed anywhere. So unless someone else chimes in perhaps it is a feature of the One S or One line. Yes I know our phone is technically a One X. But there are no options for that under the car app, Bluetooth, nor is that listed as a feature in the manual for the stereoclip. Based on your setup unless you just buy a new dock you can just select the car app anytime you enter the vehicle and the rest will be automatic. Perhaps you can also try a task app that will launch car app once it connects to a Bluetooth device.

Thanks for the help. I'll hit you up with a thanks tomorrow i already hit my limit today. When you say task app are you referring to nfc tags?

That is one option. Create an NFC tag for your car or keychain that launches the car app. Since launching the car app turns on Bluetooth and that in turn pairs with the stereoclip that is the simplest solution. The other option is an app like Tasker that can set predefined tasks that you would like upon certain conditions.
