Does anyone know of an app that could replace the stock Android dock app? I'm very interested in replacing the clock that comes up when I dock my Xoom with something more functional... I definitely enjoy having the dimmed screen and clock during the night, and being able to adjust my alarm from there is very useful, but I want some more functionality that I can click from right there, instead of having to close the dock and open something else..
Thanks for the help!

I notice when I put my phone in my multimedia dock, it will pop up and show the new alarm clock. If I exit out for any reason (while still docked) I cannot get back to the alarm clock/dock screen. I've tried to access it from notifications, hitting home, hitting back, you name it. The only way to get it to pop back up is to pull the phone out and put it back in.
Any one else?
Me too, does the same thing.
For some reason, the X2 doesn't play well with the moto docks I have. It still says charging when I take it out of the car dock and I have the same issue you are having with the Desk Dock.
At least it isnt going crazy with notification sounds when I put it in the dock now.
Yep, I don't know what happened either. I'm glad they disabled the damn notification sounds while docking it though. That drove me crazy lol.
The dock was a rather large issue in testing but AFAIK there is not a known fix for it. We will just have to wait for 2.3.4 or a GB-based AOSP rom.
Is anyone using an alternate desk dock app? I have been looking for one that I can customize (adding my own widgets) but no luck.
I have the moto desk dock and can exit and enter the multimedia station widget with no problems at all. It's also nice to not have to listen to that damn dock sound over and over that was happening with Froyo when nothing was going on.

I'd be curious as to this as well...
How to recover CM7 launcher buttons? I meant the three buttons (call, app, web) at the center bottom of the screen. they mysteriously disappeared today. Don't really know how to get them back. Help please. Thanks!

On the bottom of the screen swipe DOWN where the dock should be. (May be up, can't remember offhand) I had that happen with my Atrix. I am not running CM7 right now, but that should bring back the dock.
It's an adw launcher feature. If you swipe up from the bottom if the dock, the dock disappears. You can add other apps in this alternate dock type place. To get your actual dock back swype down from the top of the empty region below your app icons.

Hey Folks,
Note sure if this is the appropriate section to put this post, but since it's theme oriented I figured I'd put it here.
So I've been programming the Hubs nav setup on my Prime. Everything has worked out well so far except for the following:
Occasionally when I connect my tab to my dock (or unconnect), the bottom most Minimalistic Text shading widget will switch to be over top of three Simpletext widgets that are meant to open apps. Restarting the Prime or plugging in (or unplugging) the dock don't seem to fix the issue. I'll be forced to erase the MT widget and install a new one.
Locking the ADW screen doesn't seem to help either.
Does anyone else have this issue? Anyone have a work around?

Bump. Anyone else have this issue?
I have the same problem with widgets flipping over on top of each other (I have a picture/gallery widget on top of a Pure calendar widget, but about half the time it's under the calendar widget. Meh.)
Anyway, instead of using a simple text widget have you considered just using the app's shortcut icon, deleting its text, and then changing the picture to an ADW dock so it turns invisible? You know, the same way you do the shortcuts to change screens? Clicking on my minimalistic text widget that displays weather conditions takes me to my weather app.
And I'm not at my tablet right now, but there may also be an option for the minimalistic text widget itself to launch an app when clicked?
Same Issue
I've tried creating the MT widget last, tried overlapping my clock widget first over the MT box before correcting the overlap but both to no avail.
Overlap works for most screens, but the standby screen / the screen before deep sleep tends to switch the overlap order.
There are times especially after a long power off, when my MT widgets seek the topmost order of the screen. Any chance on finding out what the problem is? Thank you.
May I ask again why you're using SimpleText to launch an app instead of 3 invisible app icons? I have used this method underneath a few hubs without issue for nearly 6 months now.
EDIT: Sorry, I thought you were OP. But yeah, I've never been able to find a solution to this rather annoying problem for sometime now.

This is a common issue. No idea but it may lie with MT. Contact the developer.
Otherwise I've yet to see this issue between simple text and MT. Did you disable the tap action on MT?

Hey folks,
Thanks for everyone's advice! I ended up replacing with icons in the end.
Flip: How does one disable the tap action on MT? Do you think that might be the issue?

You disable it in the main minimalist text

When this happens to me (usually during the screen orientation change) I do the following:
1) Open the stock launcher (might have to reset the settings)
2) Open the recent apps bar and close ADW
3) Start ADW anew
This fixes the issue every time. However, I ended up disabling screen orientation changes in ADW using the 'Landscape' setting instead of auto rotation. The z-Level issue didn't happen to me since then.
Does anyone still have the apk for the Motorola Car Dock App from the Gingerbread-Stock ROMs? It seems that it's no longer in the ICS Stock Rom included.
Thx in advance
Install any cut from play, new shortcut, activities, there will be 10 vehicle docks to choose from, try number 8, if the list looks blank, scroll down, but it might take a few tries to find right vehicle dock shortcut.
Also the Rotate app licenced works great if your using universal car dock.

Are you saying there's no vehicle dock app in the ICS stock rom or do you just prefer the GB one? There's absolutely a vehicle dock app with ICS - I use it every day - and IMO its alot better than the GB version: a full screen of customizeable short cuts, more flexible calling options, etc. Are you missing that all together?

I'm not doing anything special to utilize the doc app. When I snap my phone in to the dock, the phone immediately recognizes it and launches the dock app home screen. I do have a smart action built to launch once it senses the dock:
Triggers: Vehicle Nav Dock and Charging
Actions: Brightness 100%, GPS On: BT On
The two services that run when I'm snapped into my Nav Dock are Motorola Dock Service and a Motorola Dock Helper Service.
Go to /system/app/ and look for: DockService.apk/odex and MotoDockHelperService.apk/odex. Are they missing?

Ah you use the Motorola car dock?
I don't have the dock. I only have a plastic GPS-holder-thingie that holds it in the car.
Back in GB, I have a Smart action rule that uses:
Trigger: BlueTooth connected to - my car
Actions: Launch: CarDock app, GPS on, WiFi off, etc....
Now I don't see the CarDock as an option of an app to launch. And yes, I do have those 2 apk/odex in my /app folders. And TiBackup also shows I have Cardock app installed as a system app.
I guess in ICS, u need the actual cardock to launch the cardock app? that's too bad :crying:
I'm following now
Maybe the solution is to use a 3rd party dock app from Google Play. I fooled around with a few of these while on GB because of the limitations that came with the Moto car dock before the ICS version. I remember liking Car Home Ultra the best.
Maybe installing one of them and then in Smart Actions you can add an action to launch the program? Good luck!
In nova launcher you can set an activity widget that launches the stock car dock app.

HELP
If anyone has the apk for the stock razr car app please post it. that would really be awesome
motorola car dock
i have just received the original motorola car dock last week and when i snap my phone into it the car dock comes up but having to unlock the phone is annoying.
i have ICS 4.0.4 installed and the car dock works fine apart from it does not stay active the screen times out which i find odd so i use the "keep screen" app to keep the screen alive when i have the car dock running.
now to the point!!! i also have a smart action rule set up for when the car dock is working. it sets the brightness, volume ring and other things so smart actions can be used with the stock car dock app.
the only other thing i find annoying is the navigation, the map shows upside down and after using sat navs in my work van its real annoying to get in my car and the map show upside down...
Hi guys! I would like to ask to someone kind for the creation of a mod that would allow the tablet to automatically hide the onscreen buttons when it is docked. This would be great since we don't need them on the screen when they are also on the dock. I'm using CM10.1. I know that there is the desktop view, but this also hides the notification bar. I hope someone answers my pray :fingers-crossed:
have you tried the full!screen app?
The Clean Rom features the app.
perhaps we could write a script to watch for the event
DockObserver which currently states it changes to level 10
and then launch the full screen app?

Cm10.1 has the notifications at the top correct? And the nav buttons on the bottom?
I know the systemuiservice controls the nav buttons and notification on stock. I wonder if there is a separate service for the nav buttons? I doubt it. If so it would be quite easy. Just write an app that listens for the dock broadcast then kill that service. I do know there are build.prop edits to remove the nav bar. Maybe kill the system ui service then possibly start it again without the build.prop values? If you have source code it would be a lot easier to incorporate it into the systemui service to listen for the docking broadcast then generate the system ui service without nav bar arguments.
