Hello,
I'm currently having some problems with revolt rom, "Car mode" suddenly started poping up randomly and sometimes even crashes phone. There is no application car home or dock application in "manage apps" settings, neither i can find it with titanium backup. Is there any way to remove it or do something about it?
If there is no such thing as car mode, why does it pop up?
Also, this can be asked in the ReVolt ROM thread. Earn your way into posting there and go ask in that thread. (minimun requirment - atleast 10 posts...i think)

Hiya, having this issue with my HTC Desire S, I have found that it is a problem with the USB port, pin 4 not grounding or something. I have since learned That CyanogenMod rom does not have this application so does not cause me any problems.
Also the car dock application was called automotive something, could try and remove this with root browser.
Also an app on the play market call dock no-op which also worked when I tried it using a sense 3.6 rom https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5tZWdhZ3JhbS5kb2Nrbm9vcCJd
Hope it helps a bit

1. I recently updated to 2.3.6. While on .4, I was able to rename the Google Books apk using ES File Manager and it removed the app. Now nothing will remove it. How do I get rid of it, short of installing a custom ROM? And yes, I am rooted.
2. I have the Samsung car mount. I used to have the Droid Charge, and had the Samsung car mount for that one as well. On the Charge, using the mount would turn the homescreen sideways. The SGSII mount doesn't. Any way to enable this?

Have you tried Titanium Backup? How come you haven't yet heard of it since December?

Do you use a custom Launcher? If so does your custom Launcher force the screen to stay in portrait. I don't own a dock but I never had any issue changing the homescreen to landscape mode on Go Launcher without a dock. To add more convenience.. you could probably use Llama to configure your phone the way you want when the dock is connected.

3. And lastly, someone mentioned setting the default Android car dock app to launch when the phone is docked. Where would I get this app from, and how would I set it to launch when docked instead of the Vlingo app?

Llama would be the answer to this again. There could be something better than Llama for the thing you want to do. But as I have never used dock, I can't say for sure.

1. Titanium backup as the previous user stated
2. Use a different launcher like launcher pro or go launcher, the built in touch wiz launcher does not support landscape mode (although it does support landscape lockscreen)
3. Uninstall the vlingo app with titanium backup and install a new version in the market (the installed one is ooollldd) You will find way more features like a widget that will help you. Not sure where the default setting is though.
Just as an extra note, I absolutely love putting my phone in portrait mode instead of landscape when driving. It lets you see more of whats coming up when using gps, notifications appear normally (instead of only 2 at a time when landscape, and GPS sensor aiding is more accurate.
TiBu doesn't work because GBooks doesn't show up in the list. Edit: Shows up in uninstalled apps in Market. I can't find the icon anymore. I guess the problem fixed itself.
Nope, running the stock launcher. It's weird that the Charge was able to rotate the homescreen. I'm guessing it has something to do with 2.3?
And the Vlingo app doesn't show up in TiBu either, unless it's under a different name.
Additional question: I remember there being a list of all the stock apps that show up in TiBu, saying whether each one could be uninstalled and what detrimental effects it would have. It might've been for the Charge, though. Does that exist for the SGS2?
It's been a while since I saw Google Books on my phone. It should be named just "Books" in app list in TB. Or just use search in TB.
As just a bit of insight I am currently running Vanilla Rootbox(current version) + Houcha Kernel(2013-05-18-16-02-geeb-fs) with no issues major issues to speak of.
Yesterday (mostly because I was at the beach and bored) I installed tunein pro and decided I would play music through the aux input of my car stereo.
While using it I noticed that Google Voice Search kept popping up every 20-30 seconds while the phone was laying there on my car seat, i have since uninstalled tunein pro but the issue still happens.
I have tried several times un-selecting that option from the keyboard as well as checking the settings for Google Voice Search to no avail.
So, I guess my question is:
Is there a way to PERMANENTLY disable the Google voice search option?
*additional but not so important: is there a known way to remove the stuck widget for Google search from the top of the screen? I'd rather have the extra screen space.... If i need to use Google search for any reason it wouldn't kill me to open any of my four web browsers.
disregard the "two things" in the topic name...I've decided to bring up the second issue in the Houcha Kernel Thread

On the GS3 you could freeze the "Context Aware Service". I can't find anything directly related to this on the GS4. I have never once thought about opening one of those stupid apps after plugging in earphones... seriously, Reddit is Fun and Root Explorer? Titanium Backup? Why? Why would I need headphones for those? And I don't need an icon to tell me I have earphones plugged in as I can plainly see them.
I agree.. Would love be to able to remove this.
But for now just freeze the PageBuddyNotiSvc 1.0 in Titanium Backup.

I posted this in another forum, but here's what you can do:
You can remove the suggested apps when you plug headphones in with Nova Launcher. Create a new shortcut, Activities -> Settings -> Page Buddy. You can turn it off with that shortcut and it will stay off in the stock launcher as well.
This worked for me. Doing just what you want and a whole lot more. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293956

If you go into application manager, find the recommended shortcuts app, and uncheck "receive notifications" it no longer shows up. It worked for me.

Mine does the same thing. The android OS is killing it because it is not running in the foreground. The only solutions I've read about so far are to download another equalizer until google fixes it. The app in the play store 'equalizer' appears to be a pretty good one. You can set it to only have the notification when it sees you listen to music. When you close Play Music, the notification goes away. It worked for me.
Yesterday my phone ran out of battery and it took me a while to get back to my charger. I came back late and I put my phone to recharge over night. I wake up and start my phone and it's like it's never been used before. It has done some sort of reset by itself. All these help popups comes up about how to use slides and motion etc etc. My gmail account is not registered to my phone anymore. I go through my applications and now I start to realize that something is seriously wrong.
Some of my apps are missing on my home screen and when I look for them they seem to be uninstalled, so I try to install these apps again and get the "unknown error code during application install -24" error. This is the case for 3 of my paid applications. Portfolio stocks, swift key and maps with me.
I have more problems though, 50 % of all my apps that are still installed will not even start, like all of my games for example, Every time I try to start one of these I get "Unfortunately, application has stopped" This is also the case for some other apps like skype and spotify. Most of my apps have completely dropped the app settings and information. All my whats app conversations are gone for example and my number isn't even registered anymore.
Some apps still have the icon on my home screen but when I try to start these (like googles for example) it says "application not installed" even though the icon is there.
So as you can tell there some major problem has occurred when my phone turned itself of yesterday.
Now I'm afraid my phone ****ed itself up to much to actually be recovered with is a ***** but I'm wondering how the hell could this happen? What kind of information has deleted itself and why is this possible?
And is there anything you guys think I can do except resetting the whole device. My phone is not rooted and I regret not making backups.....
I have a galaxy s3 I9300 with android 4.1.2

factory reset. don't know why it happened
*HELP* Need Alcatel OT Fierce Settings and Phone App. "settings has stopped"
Hey guys, I've had this phone a while now, I bricked my first one after a messed up update and this one was a little wonky after trying to change the boot logo, I've since fixed the issue and got my phone to work correctly for the most part but ever since programs have begun to stop working. My settings app crashes if I try and do certain things and when I reboot I automatically get the "phone has stopped working" and " messaging has stopped..." errors twice (used to be non stop until I'd open the phone app then they'd stop, so it's good it's only twice now) and I'd like to try and fix it. I've tried all the typical fixes so the next viable option would be to delete the apps from my phone and install working ones from someone else's One Touch Fierce. I have the T-Mobile version, running L2HUMH2 (you can find your version under settings/about phone/software update. I'm guessing the APKs from the updated version would work as well.
So my huge favor to ask is, if anyone with the Alcatel One Touch Fierce could either make a backup of their settings, phone and messages app using titanium backup,(settings app shows as settings 4.2.2-194 in Titanium Backup) or you can find the .apk at /system/app
then just copy settings, mms, and Phone or telephony and maybe even the odex's for each if they are there, to cover all bases.
possibly if you could even copy the folders; Com.android.settings and Com.android.providers settings
at /data/data/
it may help some.
I'd be forever grateful to anyone who can help me and hopefully if this works, Help many others who face this issue as well. If this does work I will upload a complete stock app set for this phone for anyone else who runs into this issue with any other apps Thanks in advance for replies.
Ps/ How I flash a phone with integrated battery?
