try installing android optimizer, or manually editing start upo programs, and remove dock mode from there, see if that helps, or try removing all data using titaium back up

My Vibrant fell this morning face down flat on the screen, I picked it up and was happy to see that the gorilla screen was perfect, not a scratch on it, but that turned to disappointment when I went to turn on the phone and saw a purple hue across my screen, but things were still visible but barely.
About 30 mins later, the screen is now not visible at all except for a small line near the bottom that is very bright (almost seems like the entire image of the screen is squished into this thin line).
Here is the problem. I need some of the stuff that is on my phone but have a pattern lock-screen on it and I cannot see the screen to put the pattern in, I have tried numerous times and get nothing. I was thinking if I can get it hooked up to a PC I can copy everything off. Is there some other way to maybe boot the phone in a mode to connect to a PC?
Other alternative is to buy just a screen and replace it with my broken one. Does anyone know where I can buy just a screen? I don't want to spend too much because I am a couple weeks away from getting the new Galaxy S II when it releases on T-Mobile Oct. 12th, I don't care to completely fix this Vibrant, I just want my data/apps off of it.
Thanks for any help.

I just need instructions on how to boot into ADB mode without being able to see the screen at all. Can someone please help?
Thanks!
Assuming your phone is rooted and have USB debugging enabled you can always try using "Droid Explorer" for windows. Within this program you can copy files without having to mount your sd card...you just need to have USB debugging enabled though otherwise it will not work. You can also access an emulator within this program called android screencast which will basically emulate your phone allowing you to navigate through your phone with ease. Your best option will be to download this Droid Explorer program for windows or you can also try adb but I don't know the commands so sorry.
I use a car mount on my office desk to hold my phone. I would like to be able to mount the SDCard as HD when it is in this mount and usb connected to my PC, but it will not allow me to do it.
Is there a way to override this? I understand that this is written into the Android OS because they assume you will be using the Car Dock software and that needs access to the SDCard, thus no mounting allowed. In my case, I don't wish to use the Car Dock software at all and need the mounting.
Any ideas? I've researched this online and not seen any clear answers. I've tried apps that disable the Car Dock software but mounting is still not available.
I believe that this would require some re-wiring inside of the dock. I think the 2 data pins on the usb port are connected to each other. This tells the phone that it can charge at AC-outlet levels, but it does block any attempt to use the usb port for data purposes.

Huh, that would make sense.
Doesn't matter now anyway since I've downloaded AirDroid and can connect over WIFI instead
OK I *thought* I posted this early this AM but must've backed out of the app before sending reply lol.
1 - delete "DockMode.apk" from /system/app (assuming you don't want dock mode) ALSO, backup the app first just in case.
2-then in main settings/connect to PC/default connection - set to mount storage (assuming you want it to automatically do that when you plug it in usb/dock)
I *think* this will get you what you want...
Hope it works

This has no effect at all. Dock mode still launches. No idea how since .apk deleted. As the previous poster said I believe this may be a hardware setting where mounting is not possible.
The only way to stop the phone from going into Dock Mode is to go into go into Titanium Backup and freeze "Car Mode".
This still does not allow the phone to mount, but at least Car Mode will not launch.
where?
i used to have a Smart Action that everytime my bluetooth connects, it'll fire up Cardock.
now i moved on to ICS, and there's no option to run Cardock in Smart Actions.
but in TiBackup, Cardock is there! yet i dont see it in App screen either.
where do one enable/run Cardock???
I have the same problem with 4.0.4
It launches with the actual Cardock just fine. There is apparently a trigger in the connection, I don't remember being able to launch the car dock app standalone back in GB tho.

Currently worked this out when I decided I will no longer take my phone out of the otterbox defender case everytime I used cardock.
First off the carodck app is turned on when the usb plug, a resistor sends a signal to the phone, so i read, there is no magnet like the DX cardock.
For a dock I grabbed the $20 verizon dock from a store that has an excellent length on the arm. Though about making little extension of some sort and rig the moto dock usb on the universal or buy an otterbox holster dock from a site.
Anyhow, I use the Rotate Licensed app to force or auto force ratate screen which rotates the home screen button to landscape like the real dock does.
Then I used AnyCut, go to new shortcut, activities, then select Vehicle Mode, there may be 10 vehicle mode(s) available, try number 8, or keep trying till you get the right one that has the map, nav., music, voice search, calling, and other apps, anycut will create a shortcut somewhere on the home screen. The force nav. with home button does not work though, but with the Rotate app and this shortcut I can leave my phone in otterbox and use the uni.cardock.
Another thing I noticed it the blue on black text in maps mode is hard to read when the search is populating as you type, even with glare protector, use anycut to make shortcut to activities, Motorola Input Debug.
Thank you for this tip, it worked great!
Hiddenapps works very well too.

and what trigger would that be?
doesn't anyone uses Smart Actions to launch CarDock?
Can't I really launch this when my BlueTooth connects?
I recently updated to the 4.0.4 and found a few differences in the car dock mode that I'd like to 'fix'... if anyone can point me in the right direction.
First, every time I put it in the car dock (Verizon approved, actually for the phone) it launches the car dock mode, but it immediately comes up in VZ Navigation, trying to map me to locations with an app that I would have to pay for. Don't want it, and especially don't want it to auto launch every time I put the phone in the docking station.
Second, used to that whenever a text was received and it was in dock mode, it would read the text to me (after prompting me)... this feature is turned on, but is not working in this version.
Lastly, if I move out of the car dock mode while it's in the dock, how can I get it back? Used to you'd hit the home button and, while in car dock station, it would send it back to that mode. The only way I've been able to get it back to car dock mode is to unhook the USB connection/charging connection and rehook it, basically resetting it to car dock mode. (then having to go through the VZ Navigation stuff again!)
Any guidance is greatly appreciated!

Someone would need to write a new car control app that would launch the "Vehicle mode" instead of "car mode" the name changed, from what I can tell, from GB to ICS and that is what causing the old apps to no longer work...

Pull down menu, touch the car dock icon, and it good back for me.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
Perhaps I'm missing something because I am not finding a car dock icon, which is part of the problem. If I found one, I'd be glad to use it.
(Update: Restarted the phone, and this morning, saw the vehicle mode option on the pull down menu to return me to that mode. Thank you!!!!)
Additionally, used to when the phone was in the car dock, it would stay "on" no matter what. Now I'm noticing that the screen turns off if it's not on the home screen of the car dock app, like if I'm on the phone, the phone's screen will go blank. If I'm on the home screen in the car dock mode, I have not noticed it going black, but on any other screen it times out.
Hi guys, hoping for some SuperUser help...
Using the GPS Time application to try and get my Omate TrueSmart to update the time after the battery dies (I can't believe the device can't hold enough power to maintain its internal clock, that's a terrible design flaw in a watch, but anyway)
The problem is that the GPS Time app pops up the SuperUser dialogue asking me to give it permissions--but the dialogue is too big for the screen and there's no OK button visible! How do you handle this on the TrueSmart?

Open SuperSU and look on the first tab 'Application', Touch the #
Change 'Acces' to Allow
then save
False move on SU, now TS won't complete booting
I have a TrueSmart 1/8, US version, developers edition, with most up to date rom and with Loki's patch.
I wish I had read this thread a few minutes sooner. I was trying to install the gestures app GMD gestures I think it was and kept running into the same superuser problem. So went into settings for superuser and hit yes to have it installed I think in the system. I can't really tell you now because I can't get back into the watch at all.. I know it said to reboot immediately after and that if SU did not show up to go to the Google play store to reinstall or to open it from there or something...I'm not sure what. In any event, after SU did its thing, I powered off and on powering back on, it will not get past the Omate TrueSmart screen. Nor can I turn it off. Can anybody help me? For now I have it in the cradle so it doesn't lose power, since I cannot turn it off.
I know I can take the battery out, but I wanted to consult before I do anything more.

If you had ADB enabled, try plugging into your computer and see if you can launch an adb shell which will give you more restoration options. You may be able to undo your changes from the command line, or at the least reboot into recovery mode.
Without ADB, your options are to pull the battery or wait till it drains naturally.

What program should I have open on my PC before connecting watch (or is that a sensible question)?
New patch coming out this weekend to address that.

Just a follow-up to the above, in case anyone lands in the same place, I did take the back off, remove the battery for just a moment, and then put the back back on. (I doubted, since it was frozen, that connecting to my PC would help, so i didn't try that. ) To my delight, everything was as I had left it, save that the gestures GMD app now loaded. (I made my font small, as recommended above, and was able to ok super user this time.) I had expected after removing the battery, to have to rebuild/reload everything from scratch,but that didn't happen.
Thanks to all for your help.
So I've been searching Google all day and still can't find a way around all this...
Phone (Nexus 5) got the black screen of death, where a connector on the motherboard gives up due to heat/old age. It only then works by applying pressure to the connection. The digitizer would sometimes play up and I'd have to press on the spot to write emails and texts. My phone got the the point where it became unusable and the digitizer started spazzing out, in that, the flight mode button got pushed, now the screen doesn't work at all.
So heres my dilemma..
Since I flashed Android 7.1 the USB debugging mode has never stayed on through a reboot and is currently off. That ruins my Vysor option to control the phone via usb. Theres a post about a guy who turned on USB debugging via Cerberus which I have, but with flight mode on that rules that out. I've managed to find my way into recovery and ADB works but I have plenty of issues, maybe because I had to use SUhide atc after 7.1 decided to clamp down on rooted devices with banking apps, snapchat etc. My Slimport hdmi adapter isn't working well but I guess thats a cheap fix and will allow me to at least see the screen, (no digitizer though). Other option is to use usb otg to connect a mouse and try things blind.
So are there any other ideas out there? ADB still may work, I got Boot.img onto my computer, but had trouble unpacking it.
