Is there any way to enter car mode without a dock and without Rosie? I saw some people do it via NFC tag, but I was hoping to create a shortcut through Nova or something of the sort?

Choose "Car" from the app tray?
It must be part of rosie. I can't see car...

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
Has anyone seen a standalone landscape Rosie mod? I have seen it in a couple of roms.
I am not ready to HTC unlock, I want to make sure I am not going to have any hardware issues, so I am waiting for a little bit before unlocking.
If there isn't a standalone mod I might try just pulling the Rosie.apk from one of the roms and putting it in place with root explorer. Has anyone tried that, and is it only the Rosie I need to pull or are there other files?
Thanks

If your not rooted, then go to the market and download a app called rotation locker. When you open the app longpress auto rotate. You will then have landscape and portrait Rosie.

I just pulled a rosie.apk from a ROM that had it and put it in the /system/app folder. I renamed my rosie.apk first though just in case. I also changed the permissions of the new one to rw-r-r. Worked like a charm.

Thank you, that app also supports landscape dialer. I have been looking for that forever. Don't like car dock mode. Tried every rom on my OG Evo and it was right there in Play Store. I feel really dumb now but thanks again.

That rotation locker is pretty nifty! I just wish it supported "upside down" landscape where the charger port is on top.... when using it plugged in + kickstand, I have to keep the charger port on top
This app locks it in landscape. I can't get it to auto switch. How are you all getting it to work.
Edit.."long press". Got it.

Your welcome. Thanks for giving me credit. Only thing I see that it messed up is landscape camera. But it still takes pictures fine.

This is a horrible Idea. I just tried it and my phone became extremly unhappy. If your running Stock Odex, this won't work. Even if you delete the Rosie.Odex, your phone will stop working properly. Luckly I was able to revert it with ADB once I figured out the correct mount command.
I am guessing clone1008 was on a custom rom.
I used the Rosie from Stock with goodies 1.31
Okay Back to my rule no more screwing with my phone when I am oncall at work.
More missing apps? Has anyone noticed that it is in the "all" app list in manage apps but it is not in the app drawer? Is this a trick or am I missing something?

Only if you didn't remove Voice Recorder from hide apps section of the default.xml file.
The car panel will come up automatically when you dock the phone in the iBolt car dock. I do not know of any other way to get it to launch.

You can also get an app called car mode from the play store. It'll put the phone into dock mode without having to put it on the ibolt dock.

Thanks. I didn't even think to look in the market. I found something called "car mode control" which works perfectly.

Haven't used an HTC device in a few years but picked up a DNA yesterday. One thing I was looking forward to was a chance to try the Sense car dock app which I've heard good things about. But I can't seem to find it anywhere. Am I overlooking something?

I am assuming you are talking about the app "Car". The icon is a steering wheel.

Right. But it's not on my DNA.
Wow that's weird I have it on mine.
Did you hide it via Menu>Hide Apps in the app drawer?
Once there you can uncheck it to un-hide it.
That is all I got, maybe someone else has an idea.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
Most likely, you need to plug it into a car dock to activate it. The dock will trigger the app if it's installed.
I actually prefer ultra care home. Much more customizable.
Not in my app drawer either. Can see it in the settings>apps but can't activate it there.

I was going to ask that too. I don't have car app in the app drawer. But I see it in settings>apps>all. Same thing with the dock mode app. I'd love to be able to use them.
On the Rezound, for example, they're not in the apps, but if you touch search capacitive button in the bottom right corner and type "car panel" or "dock mode" you'll see the app in the results, and just touch it to start. Same with "mirror" app. But on DNA that trick doesn't seem to work.

Ok, I just tried again. You can do a search by pressing and holding the home button. Enable searching phone in the settings. Then just type an app name. It works for car, mirror, voice recorder (these apps are not in the app drawer)
You can also create shortcuts for them, for example, in ES File Explorer.
I still can't open dock mode. Is anybody smarter than me? I sure would like to use it.

I'm currently using the Nova Launcher and all those apps show up, but if I go back to the default sense one they do not.
Can you open the dock mode?
Sent from HTC Droid DNA
I emailed HTC about that and they said "We do understand your concerns with the applications not showing on the app tray. HTC is currently looking into this to determine what is occurring but we have no estimated time for a resolution to be reached."
Or when we get root it's not hard to get those apps to show in app tray

Can you try the dock mode from your launcher? Does it open?
Yup, for some reason when using Apex, or Nova Launchers they are shown just like all other apps. Very odd if you ask me?
htc has always wanted those apps to be dock specific to try and get you to buy their OEM docks.
I can also confirm that using a non oem launcher like nova and apex will get the cardock to show along with a mirror app and movie app among others. Now we need a wireless charging card dock... Lol js
You can launch the apps manually through Titanium Backup.
I can confirm both dock apps work.
Any chance someone could post a screen shot of the car dock app on the DNA?

So you can actually start the dock mode? I have no problem starting the car app through the ES File Explorer, but the dock mode won't start. That's strange. Any idea?

Using the app QuickShortcutMaker, you can search for “car” and then create a shortcut on your home screen,
it will put a shortcut of car app that is hidden in app menu on the home screen.
Is there a way to edit what is shown on the app? Personally I don't want the Amazon mp3 crap on mine. I prefer Pandora or slacker.
