OK guys I just want to share an app that I've been using since the nexus one but missed it with my amaze which is a good car dock app. HTC has Car Panel which is nice but not as good as Google's Car Home which you can customize.

Google Car Home
To install Google Car Home you will need to install HTC Car Panel too because for some reason Google Car Home doesn't install an icon for sense roms.
This is where Car Panel comes in, when you open the app drawer select Car Panel select Car Home.
One of the things I like about Google Car Home is the fact that it can automatically open the app once it sees that you are connected to your cars bluetooth and disables it once you disconnect.
The only thing that doesn't work is when you go to settings and select Android Setting it will force close(probably cause of sense)
Enjoy!
EDIT: Oh sorry I just saw that they are 2 different apps. NVM
what is the difference in the 2 attached files? I do see one file is bigger than the other in kb size.

P.s. FOOTPRINTS WILL NOT work, because we do not have that app on our phone...I see no benefit to using HTC car panel, I use car home, in conjunction with vlingo car mode.....flawless...I just wish vlingo car would start up on its on when I plug it into my car charger but its in beta for now...If I could I would use vlingo car for everything...I has everything I need.

Anyone notice the Car Home doesn't have the music player in the default screen? Quite a big omission I think to leave out music player for car use.

same on droid and all the others... the car home app seems to just be a skinned version of the same app on droid from when i had it. on the droid people eventually made custom car apps with music player on them.
Same with me I re-flashed my Vibrant to original following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728698
Everything seems normal except I can't play my backed up Avatar movie and cannot find some market apps such as the Samsung apps.
I see it 4th and 5th down when searching for "Samsung" on the market.
Rooted Vibrant as well.

ditto. I even asked the question in the car dock accessories thread, because i assume that these apps were on the phone but "hidden" and only activated when they were put into the samsung dock/cradle. Silly me
P.S. the Home one hurts my eyes...but i love it! this screen is sooooooo bright!
Ive recently bought the Desk Mount from a store i U.S but I can´t find the desk home app on Market.
I have tried to download the .apk from a different source but get fc when I start the app.
I´m on a International Galaxy S.
Anyone know how I´m, supposed to get the desk home app to work?
Cheers,

Music player does show up on my home screen for the car app. Also the layout is vertical not the way that is down on the picture. Maybe its different for the states and canada
So, I really wanna use Launcher Pro, but when I use it, I can't use the HTC music player widget and HTC settings widgets (like the 4G switch).
Is there any way to get around this?
Not possible.
There is no widget that mimicks the htc music widget, but I've found that doubletwist is a better music app and it has it's own widget. For settings, check out widgetsoid 2.0 for a much better settings widget. You can even set up a notification bar widget that's similiar to the epic.
Both are free.
You can request that Fede (the developer) add this. He's created many great widgets already which are similar to the HTC ones.
+1
Widgetsoid 2.0 is insanely customizable.

Launcher Pro Plus includes a number of Sense-like widgets (the only one I really cared about was Twitter). I also used Beautiful Widgets for the home widgets (time/date). As for the switching, I paid for Power Control Plus, because it lets you add a toggle for USB Tethering (which I had on my Hero - I think I might just hold of on rooting until there is a ROM that supports it). But it also includes a flashlight button (which I believe supports multiple brightness levels), and a few others handy things as well.

Edit: just reread this. Forgot this one was about the music widget.
Desire Z has friend stream and ALL htc widgets on an aosp rom...
Hello all, im hope i correctly chose forum.
I have a small but annoying problem: my RAZR dont detect orignal Car Dock., without this not working audio-by-microusb cable (original cardock cool feature). I test two other razrs and two other cardocks, and have trouble only with my phone.
I tried flash by rsdlite stock flash, i tried three modded ROMs, and no effect. Phone not detect dock, for example my razr with cm10 have in settings panel "dock settings" item, where show status of dock connecting. My razr never show "connected", razr of my girlfriend show it always.In MIUI - razr of my friend working normally, my razr didn't work.
One time my phone is dead even on charge, when i used navigation and music simultaneously. I think its hardware problem in charge controller, but i dont know how check it out.
Is any method to software force REAL carmode? Utilities like "Car Mode Control" only start car-shell, and in "dock settings" phone displayed as not connected with car dock.
U can make direct acces to the function.
On Nova Launcher is the third option when u hold finger on launcher then the second one.

Activities i tried also, and this is like CardockControl app - only launch carmode shell, in dock settings nothing changed (still "not connected") and no microusb audio too. In CM10 (by dtrail) this activities not present at all.
EDIT: there is few threads on my problem founded: 1 and 2. But no working solution =(
If you're still looking for this I found an app called Car Mode Control where just enables car mode, not a dock shell, it will actually on load a shell if you already have one built into your phone. my problem was that I couldn't figure out how to get out of car mode and had to reboot the phone to get out.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.cwfk.ig88.carmode
Car mode i can enable with many programs (i use InDrive now), but this not enable cardock mode. I wand use feature of original car mount - audio over microusb.
The link I posted should enable your audio over microusb, It's not a car dock app, it switches on your phones own car mode.
No, it dont. Phone not really switch "cardock" mode, like it do it in real car mount. Simple, only car mode (change launcher to "car shell" if installed).
Sorry to hear that. It worked on my phone except that i couldn't get it out of car mode.

Anyone? I'm thinking of ordering this. I've never tried any car dock yet but I've been meaning to.
Any other recommendations?

There's another one by iBolt that looks good, but it doesn't have audio out through the usb port. I don't know if the case duo has audio out, if I have to, I will use the headphone jack. I have a mount for my droid3 and it's awesome. The droid3 mount doesn't even have to be plugged in, it just sits on the plug. I ordered the case duo, I'll report back.
I got the case duo yesterday. It's sturdy, supports the phone well on my windsheild and dash. The case duo does not launch carmode automatically qnd does not have an audio out through the mini usb port. I think the iBolt would've been better. The iBolt will automatically launch carmode an it's probably adjustable to fit another phone. The case duo is specifically designed to fit the DNA so there's no chance of fitting another phone without serious modification.
Thanks for the info!

You could use NFC tags to launch your car into car mode turn on bluetooth and turn up screen brightness and such. I plan on insetting this case and that is what i plan doing with it. thank you for review. The app i am using to run those task is NFC task launcher
I use tasker to do things when bluetooth is on. I have th app from ig88 called car mode that automatically launches carmode. I also use cardock home from ig88, because it has live wallpaper, widget support an I can see music visualizers on it. They have a speedometer widget and shortcuts to play and stop music. When car dock home launches it turns on bluetooth, so my torque app connects, auto brightness off, brightness to 255, vol up, hotspot on(for kids and their nexus), and netron music app starts playing. I tried NFC, but it was too much to tap it again to undo everything, tasker works better for me.
This is an app request. It seems like something on of you whiz bang developers could whip out easily. I've upgraded from the EVO to a G2 as my daily use device (I still have my EVO as a backup.) The G2 has a little more horsepower and some nice features, but I find that I miss having HTC Car, and it worked so well with my Sprint Navigation card dock.* There is no Car app on the G2 - there isn't even an implementation of the Google Car Mode app - at least not on the LS980.
As I understand it, the HTC Car app has some sense dependencies, so you cannot just extract the apk. (I tried that.) I leave the technical details up to the dev, whether you port the existing app or whip up a doppleganger. For the most part this app seems dead simple, but I found it far safer to run while I commute.
Here's my last plea before the specs and reference photos: Car Apps out there suck, and there is a huge void in the market for a simple, effective app that
Feature Requests:
1) Install as an APK, no Sense proprietary dependencies.
2) Works on most Android devices, scale the UI to fit most displays.
3) Auto-start app when connected to bluetooth device.
4) Auto-quit app when disconnected from bluetooth device.
5) Phone mode (optional, at least a dialer shortcut)
6) Allow User to add large-tile shortcuts to a limited number of apps.
7) Landscape interface
8) Vertical interface (optional)
9) Navigation
MINIMUM : Launch to Google Navigator
OPTIONAL : Replicate the simple Car Navigation UI** [These are really optional, I hardly ever used this stuff, but some might find them useful]
OPTIONAL : Replicate the Google Calendar Appointments feature that chooses destinations based on your calendar items.
OPTIONAL : Replicate Previous destination list.
**The Car Navigation UI appears to be simply a series of shortcuts to Google Maps searches: Gas Station, Food, Parking, Cafes, Bars, ATM, Pharmacy, Shopping, Emergency.
I'll post some reference photos.

*BTW: If you open the Sprint Navigation Car Dock, it is rudimentary to remove the charging chip. If you take that out, the dock works fantastically for the LG G2. I use it with a Diztronic TPU case and it still fits great. A wee bit tight, but it fits.
Last call, casual readers, if you think replicating this app would be a good idea, please at least leave a reply and say so. I doubt a dev would take on a task like this if there is little community interest. If you have moved on to another phone as your primary device, or if you still run the EVO on a Non-Sense ROM, you could benefit from this too. The simplest implementation of this app should work on any android device.
