I noticed on my friend's new Evo that there is a Navigator app, not Google Maps or Google Navigation, but the Navigator one.
This one has the large buttons for use in the car when you open it.
I have flashed to Baked Snack, and I don't see this app anywhere on my phone, can anyone post a backup copy or a link to where I can get it?
The latest Google Maps includes a "Navigation" icon that is just a shortcut to Google Nav. It sounds like you are talking about the car dock (or whatever it is) icon that is from HTC.
Yeah, I want the HTC car dock app, would I be able to back it up off my friend's phone?
Anyone able to help me out? Would really like to have this app for safer driving...
Argh I need it too.. I lost my shortcut installing a new rom and I don't have the HTC Navigator.. the blue arrow shortcut.
I am using an app called Custom Car Home. I prefer it because it has the large icons but you can customize which apps you want to link to (including music and Sprint Navigation which is what I was looking for). It also has multiple sliding pages if you have more apps than will fit on one screen and will rotate in landscape mode. There are also preferences to auto-activate bluetooth and speakerphone and auto-deactivate wifi. The only downside is that the icons are stretched so they look pixelated. Still more pros than cons in my opinion.
Part of Fresh's removed APK's folder.
Thank you bedoig, big ups!

Hey,
I'm new to the N1 forums and I've just bought a Nexus One!
So anyone care to point me to your must have apps? Like a top ten or something?
Best file manager? Movie player? Compass app? Stopwatch? Twitter client? etc. etc.
I'm also running stock Android Eclair and want to know if it's better to go Froyo or use a custom ROM.
Thanks.

There are several existing threads that cover this subject. Please use the search.
Since froyo is thought to be right around the corner, I would wait it out just a week or two more, then upgrade and see what you want to do as far as unlocking the bootloader, and custom roms, etc.
So far as apps:
Lost of people use Astro File Manager, and Linda. Both are free on the market
Another great app for the Nex is the Nexus Torch, which makes your LED flash from the camera a flashlight haha! SUPER useful.
Astrid is a great, free, to-do list.
ADW Launcher is a KILLER, free, homescreen replacement, that gives you a froyo look, and lots of cool functionality. Cyanogen uses it is his cooked rom for the Nexus, so it comes highly recommended.

Wavesecure - helps you remotely wipe, backup and locate your phone if it's stolen.
Handcent SMS - best SMS app in my opinion.
Launcher Pro - best launcher (speeds up home screens, app drawer + lots of options)

To start, the dock is from an app. Launcher Pro. You will need to download the 3rd party apps from the post and then install Launcher pro. Then hit the phone menu button at the home screen, press on preferences--> appearance settings. Then choose dock style as Froyo wide. This will give you the color.
As for the apps you are missing, Backup assistance is a blur app, so that one is gone. I'm not sure if you can just redownload it from the verizon portion of the Market. Navigation, you should just use Google Maps. In order to get google maps back, download it from the market. The alarm clock function can be found under "clock" in Liberty. Click the Clock in the app drawer, then the icon on the bottom left to set alarms.

Thanks a ton!!
Everything works like a charm now.
for those reading this having the same questions, if you have backup assistant it is long gone, however you can go to backupassistant.com and log in, this will show you all your contacts click the select all option and click back up as an outlook CVS File.
Then go to Gmail and log in, click contacts and then click import and import the file you got from backup assistant.
All your contacts will now be saved to google. So your gmail will sync it to your phone and never again have to worry about backup assistant.
After i download the Iconpack, how can i make my icons look like that?
I have been bouncing around testing many different ROM's and finally settled on Core Droid Froyo build.
What I noticed is that the car panel app now appears to be tied to a Premium Nav subscription. Voice dialer tells me that I have an invalid license and the Nav buttons are grayed out.
Previous ROM's including rooted stock appeared to use Google Nav as part of the car panel.
What am I missing here?
Update, easy work around for this is to grab the google car home app in use it for the car feature.
It will not load on this phone from the app store, so you will have to find an alternative dowload of the apk to install.
Works good, uses google maps and is semi customizable.
Hi. Go to Settings>location and select integrate google navigation
tried that still doesnt have the option for gps in car panel ...ill have to try to track down the original .apk
Google search for google car home APK, the second like is to a droid-life page.
The second link worked for me. Installed fine, and when I clicked the "car panel" app it asked me to use the Sense app or the Google one. I choose the Google app and it's working great.

Thanks for the tip, worked great for me. After checking I have the option of premium or google navigation. Exactly what I would hope for.
So I just signed up here after getting a G2X. I have been into Android for about a year. I started out with the Cliq XT which I actually loved, then got the Defy which I hate to see go, and now am on the G2X [the first superphone to really impress me since it can actually do something my Defy couldn't]
I am very happy with my G2X. I don't get the fuss over screen bleeding as phone displays have come such a long way from my first cell phone, the Panasonic GD55. I also have not had ONE reboot. My battery life is between 4 to 6 hours and I'm pretty much browsing the web ALL day.
but lately, I've wondered, am I wrong? dumb? blind?
I only use three home screens. The main one has just 4 small icons: camera, messaging, browser, and navigation. Then to the right home screen just the weather widget, and to the left screen, the android power bar widget. and after that, nothing else, nothing.
Is there something I'm missing? or am I right in not loading up the screens and just hitting the menus if I need something? I realize, for example, the google search widget would work for me, but I don't see the point of having it on the screen when I can just press browser and it opens to a blank google window I don't facebook much, but I can just open the app drawer, click the facebook button, and it's all right there.
So am I just crazy? or is my approach more common and popular than I think?
On another note, I'm missing some things from my defy. I was able to install the connected music player apk to use instead of the horrible stock one, but I'm missing my airplane mode button and timer built into my clock/alarm app.
but still...I feel weird..they added homescreens to make it 7..so people obviously love them and need them..and yet if I really wanted to I could put EVERYTHING I use on one.
Its your phone best used how you see fit. I have on extra page filled with a few apps I use since I've gotten into rooting my phone and playing around with things the devs help and teach me on. But I do the same I go to the app menu if I wanna use something too.

You're not an idiot lol I myself have a pretty much bare set up haven't really customized anything due to the fact that I've been bouncing from rom to rom. Plus the wonderful thing about android is that you can pretty much do what you please. If you're only using 3 pages I'd suggest you use Launcherpro or ADW (or whichever launcher you prefer) and have only 3 pages up so you're not left with all these blank pages. I used to just use 1 page back on my MT4g Bottom line is you're not an idiot
I know exactly what you are saying. I've got launcher pro and have the dock all customized with 15 icons in 3 docks. Some camera apps and different markets and the usual messaging and stuff.
Now I'm like...why do I need anything in my home screens? I've got my vacation days left widget on the home screen and the launcher pro contacts widget on another. That's it.
But then I downloaded three icon packs and see myself customizing the screens more. There sure are a lot of cool choices. If I do that the dock choices become redundant.
I just don't use most of the apps in the drawer enough to put them on a home screen. Only a select few.
Having a blast playing around though.
Instead of having all my apps on one page, I'm thinking of giving the pages themes, like games, tools, camera, messaging etc.
I also like to keep one home screen blank so the wallpaper, living or not, is highlighted.
i also have 3 screens
I also have just 3 screens.
I use LauncherPro + QuickDesk + SwipePad
Screen #1 just has 9 icons for each of my fave Google apps: Browser, Calendar, Market, Latitude, Maps, Navigation, Talk, Voice and YouTube.
Screen #2 has minimum of 2 icons: Shortcut > Direct Message > My Wife
The second icon is either my ToDoList for the day or a ShoppingList.
I use ColorNote.
Screen #3 is for my widgets.
Battery Monitor Widget, Catch Notes Widget, Pure Calendar Widget.
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
I really love the scrolling dockbar in LauncherPro. I use just two dockbars for a combined quick access to a possible 10 apps + 10 gestures.
I also use SwipePad for quick access to 12 more apps, and also QuickDesk for additional quick access to s'more apps & shortcuts
Using the Hidden Apps feature of LauncherPro, I hide most of my apps in the app drawer.
I access everything else from the capacitive touch Search button.
I run simple as well. However adw ex utilizes both cores for instant function.
Buy adw ex. Open settings/Profiles and select FAST SETTING.
it will be like nothing you've had before.
I call it Instant.
I don't even use any animations at this point.
Its more impressive not to even need any then to watch one.
It will impress you.

I'm rooted with undead's ROM, modaco's 4.0.0.9, and I've deleted the media room app which is the only way to get into music and fm radio outside of a widget or home screen shortcut. If I delete the htcsetup apk file and do a factory reset so-to-speak I get the music and fm radio shortcuts back in my app drawer but the weather app will NEVER show my location, other apps do though, but I don't want to keep it like this since I would imagine other built in things probably aren't working from not going through the initial htcsetup after a factory reset.
With all that being said, how do I simply get the music and fm radio icons to show up in my app drawer? I've gone through the htcsetup wizard as im supposed to which ends up removing or calling something to remove these 2 apps.
For some reason the icons don't show up in the app drawer when you use the stock launcher.
I use GO launcher EX, the MT4GS has enough power to really get some use out of it and turn on all the fun animations and such.
As soon as I switch launchers, the icons are in my drawer.
I think, if I remember right, that other launchers show the icons too, like ADW and such, but the only one I use anymore is GO so I am not sure.
This was something that aggravated me, I don't like or use widgets and media room was gone from my phone a long, long time ago.
I like the HTC stock music app, I think it's really well done.
Not exactly all the info you were looking for, but it's a step on the path.
I haven't really got a handle on the sense skin yet. So i can't answer that. I'm still learning.

Xshortcuts to create any icon(even hidden apps) on the desk. You can uninstall media room and access music with this free app fyi.
Well any app can be made a shortcut on the homescreen/desktop.
What I noticed though which is quite interesting is that if you delete the htcsetup.apk or something like that from the system/app folder and then format data and cache, which is essentially a factory reset, the fm radio and music shortcuts show back up in the drawer. Probably what's happening is that this initial setup wizard hides these 2 apps to encourage the use of the media room app. My only concern is how would I make sure things such as weather will work if I don't go through the initial setup wizard?
