Try this link. http://www.droid-life.com/2010/10/0...feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+DroidLife+(droid+life) Hurry before it's gone.
Another place to get it just in case http://www.robotbriefs.com/news/2010/10/1/google-car-home-app-updated-then-pulled-we-have-it.html
Seems to not install correctly for me. Wonder if there's a conflict between it and HTC's Car Panel.
When it installed, it doesn't show up as a selectable app on the app page. However, if you start HTC's Car Panel or "Car Dock" from the market, or "Custom Car Home" from the market, it gives you the option to use Car Home.
Wonder if I uninstalled the HTC app if it would work better.
I like it finally able to add Pandora to the menu. Also might be old but being able to start car home when connected to a Bluetooth device is greatness

That bluetooth feature makes it great to avoid having to buy official docks.

OK, running myn's stock ROM with from the latest OTA. Still having problems getting this to work correctly. I first thought it was a conflict with HTC's stuff or one of the other two car docks I listed above, but even after uninstalling all three, it still doesn't show up as an app on the app page.
Install Car Home, and then get the CarHomeLauncher.apk from here:

Install it and you should now see the Car Home icon on your app page.

Original thread
Features
-It does not include the Samsung widgets
-It does work on Froyo and Eclair... I'm running it on the DamageControl Rom
-1 to 7 homescreens
-Application Dock
-App drawer is iphone like style
I would recommend you download the app "Home Switcher" from the market, if you didn't already... Makes it very easy to switch between home replacement apps, and set as default.
Download
TO ADD APPS TO THE DOCK, open up the all the applications by pressing the applications tab, then press menu, then press edit, and drag your apps to the dock as you wish.
Heres some pictures
nice contribution. thanks
This is one of the many reasons I love android! Something on another android device you want? Wait a few days and it shall be so!

You are using the built-in application installer most likely, try something like Apkatcher and try installing it again.

Im running the current ota update stock and loaded this launcher perfectly ( allow install of third party apps under settings, used apollo file manager). All you need is the samsung widgets plus the 4g toggle ( look in other posts) and you have the epic without a keyboard. Thank you for the option. Love android.

It did that for me as well, I had to download with a computer, then transfer the files to the phone. For some reason when I downloaded directly with the EVO, the file kept getting cut off at 13kb. The file is like 1.5mb
Can someone who's downloaded this and installed it successfully please upload the. apk to RapidShare or something? The problem is that download link lists the file at 1.4mb but when you actually download it the file only ends up being 13kb or something. I believe there is something wrong with that particular download link/site. Thanks

Not without rewriting the apk...you can do it...don't think its worth the time

Active apps widget popup unable to switch to app? it only kills the app i click on, even if i try to change the widget settings... does this work for anyone ells?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Hi there, i am the developer of active apps. It appears that the widget active apps 1x1 is bugged.in the area you just mentioned.
I will provide a fix for that soon. Meanwhile you can enable control panel in widget. On pop up, Click on second button to switch mode.
Please send me email for the bug next time as the original thread has been deleted by mod.
Thanks.
Ahh OK thanx.... i did change to application istead of popup, the popup looks nice tho so i look forward to the fix.

It has just been fixed and uploaded to the market now. Let me know if the same bug still occur.
Btw, There will be two small buttons on pop up if you enable the control panel from the widget.
1st one is to kill all
2nd is switch between mode. Kill or switch.
So when you click on the app, it should act as according to the mode you choose.
Give it a try.
And thanks. .hope the app did help you in someway or another.
Thanx, switching in popup works great now, the control panel switching between kill and switch does not work tho... it's still allways switching no matter what i choose.
I love this app / widget....

Anyone know how to access the app manually and NOT just in the messaging portion? Its the exact same app on my Epic 4G so it should be a stand alone app....

It's probably hidden by the launcher. Try searching for it in the Google seach widget, or use a differennt Launcher.
Download launcherpro form the market, hit home, use the sidekick launcher as default, then while on the homescreen, hit Menu>add>shortcuts>activities>Voice recorder or Sound Recorder( I think both are included, but you are looking for sound recorder).

Has anyone found a way to sort apps in GR-11?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056542
I didn't see anything addressing app sorting in the link that you posted?
Search for Touchwiz AppSorter in the market. If it says database error after you run it, just clear the TouchWiz data (gonna reset your launcher though) Drove me nuts for about 20 minutes till I figured it out lol!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
I got the database error with that app. I cleared the data, it didn't fully sort the apps. It left the original first page of apps, then sorted the subsequent pages.
Is there a way to not only sort ALL apps, but to make it re-sort when you install a new app without losing you 7 screens?
Also, has anyone figured out how to choose your home screen? I only want 3 screens, but I want screen 2 to be "home" not 3.

Use a different launcher until it's fixed? GR is still in beta. And until it's out of beta expect there to be bugs.

He linked you to that thread because that's where your question should've been asked instead of making a new thread.
Go to Settings> Applications> Manage Applications>All>TwLauncher>Force Stop then Clear Data...but it will reset your home screen...you'll have to customize it again...

The TouchWiz app sorter from the market has recently been updated to support TouchWiz 4.0. Therefore you can now use it on your GR-12 ROM without getting that database error .
Am I missing something or does the car dock app not integrate with Google music or Pandora? I don't use tunein or store music on my phone directly so this app loses appeal for me. Any ideas?

I think there was a thread earlier today about this to. Im in the same boat but I use spotify. As far as I can tell theres no way to change the icons.
It's a shame that it cant be customized. I'd like to add Spotify and an app that detects speed cameras. I guess i will need to switch to the old car app that was abandoned by google.

Its functional, but doesnt look that nice imo. Too bad there are no skins.

since i'm on CM i'm using the original google car home. it can be customized fairly well. not sure if you can disable the htc version and use that one or not.

the original car home doesn't have ICS support, has CM taken it and run with it?
I've been using Car Home Ultra for the last few days and while it works and you can add custom app shortcuts, it's really ugly. It's the equivalent of a Geocities website with blinking text and animated GIFs.
If I knew anything about creating an Android app and I had the time I could make some decent spare cash building a beautiful car app.
I found the Google one on XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569027
Install both APK's works fine. Why HTC didn't allow there's to be customizable is beyond me.

(i see you found it) I just install the apk and have tasker (best app ever) launch it when it docks.

You can use Rotation Locker from the play store, Gunny. Long press the Auto option to get the home screen and dialer to rotate.

Bit of a late reply but I've only started using the car app and encountered the same problem.
The solution is to go into the music app that comes with the phone. Here you'll see a couple of music related apps like tunein radio and soundhound. Click on the options icon up the top right and select 'add shortcut'. Add all the apps you want (pandora, spotify, music players).
Now when you enter the car mode the last app you added will appear on the bottom right. You can access all the media shortcuts you added by scrolling to the right twice.
Pressing the home button from any screen will take you back into the original screen so you can alter your music even when in navigation.
Hope this helps anyone using the car mode app.
No luck with that, either. TuneIn is always there.

Maybe it doesn't recognise the app your using as a music app?? I did it with playerpro and it does appear as the bottom right icon automatically.
What happens if you scroll to the right twice from the car mode homescreen.
One scroll to the right takes me to the default music player and the second scroll takes me into all the shortcuts I added using the music app.
I tested this with a random, non-music related app and it didn't appear on the car mode homescreen but did still appear as an icon when I scrolled right twice.
You should be able to swipe to the right twice off of the main Car Home screen, and that should give you all of the shortcuts that are in the HTC Music app. The bottom right icon on the main screen should then reflect the last app you used.

Yeah just to confirm, even if its not a music app it will still appear in the bottom right if that was the last of you shortcuts to be opened.
