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.

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!

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?
Each time I launch G+, tap the Stream and tap the pencil icon on the top right to type my status, the app FCs. Is this a known bug?
I'm running CM 7.0.3 on a pretty new gTab.
Same issue on cm7.1 rc1 here.

Fails on HC combo rom too. On a whim I ran My Fake Location, and hey presto it works. So, like a few others, it dies silently if you don't have a GPS, even if you have your settings set to get location via wifi.
Anyway, if you want to use it, install / run the free my fake location app. On the plus side, you can post from the south pole or other cool places
Thanks man! that worked
I've decided to take this out of incubation in the device specific forums and put it fully out there. All feedback is appreciated!
Update (10/11/2012): Half of proceeds from app sales from October will be donated to Breast Cancer Research

Update (9/7/2012): New Tasker Support for changing profiles in Wave Control!
Update 31/08/2012: Jelly Bean users are getting force closes in the Play Store app when navigating to Wave Control -- The free version's apk is available to download on this post. Please if it's working for you in Play Store download from there.. I need the install count
Wave Control uses the proximity sensor to detect hand gestures to control music/movie playback (free version) and more (paid version).
I developed this originally on the Note and luckily it happened to have one of the best proximity sensors (at least for my uses). Now I've moved on to the SGSIII and it works just as well! Works best on the SGSIII, Note and Galaxy Nexus. Not so great on HTC phones and SGSII due to their particular sensors (much slower).
Performance will vary depending on which sensor your phone uses. All HTC phones use the same slow one. Samsung uses about 3 different vendors and more models.. most are good, Sony is usually ok, Motorola is a mixed bag. I try to account for some of the differences in the sensors. But be aware you may have to wave at a different speed than in the youtube videos.
There are 4 basic gestures:
-Hover
-1 Wave
-2 Waves
-3 Waves
By default they correspond to Play/Pause, Next, Previous, Enable/Disable Controls respectively.
In the Pro version or upgraded free version, they can be remapped to any of those plus: Screen Toggle On/Off, Volume Up, Volume Down, Launch Google Voice Search, Fast Forward, Rewind, and do nothing.
Popular uses are:
When driving, don't have to take your eyes off the road to try to hit a button
When your hands are dirty so you don't smear crap all over your phone like when cooking or working on car
While on the computer, you don't have to bother waking the phone to change the song (works even when the screen is off)
New
Control music on your PC using foobar2000 controller Pro-- Now compatible with Wave Control

Not share why but when I try to go to the app in the market I get a force close of the market. It immediately closes once the install page comes up. I can go to any other app and open it to the install page and install the app.

Whoa.. that's a weird one. Maybe Google hates me??
Can you try install from a PC browser and see if it'll do the background install on the phone?

I am trying the free version for now. I really like the app so far. I do have one issue though and maybe the paid version fixes this. When I have it turned on but not in use per se, I start texting in landscape mode and it will toggle on/off the music constantly even when I am not planning on listening to music. I did look through the settings and only option I see that works is to have the app turned off while I am texting/or using the keyboard for anything like typing in this reply via xda app. Is it possible to implement a setting that IF the phone e is in landscape or IF the keyboard is in use that it overrides the app turn I g music on?
Again I am only using the free version right now for testing and will plan on using the paid app once I like the setup. Thanks and this is a great idea.

I've had a request over email from a user for a mode where it only works when the screen is off. I think this would help a lot of these type issues.
I'll see if I can detect whether the keyboard is active in another app or not. That's a great idea.
Thanks for the feedback!
Oh and which version of the Play Store are you running?

Hmm. That's the same version I have on my stock SGSIII.
I wonder if it's a Jelly Bean thing. Someone in the Galaxy Nexus thread had the same issue. I have no idea why it would be a Jelly Bean thing though.
I've been using this app since April and have a pro copy of it because I loved how original the app was and how well it worked. I find it useful when I'm driving to change my songs. Great to see this finally land on XDA.

Still doesn't work for me. I tried going to market and used the search bar for wave control. It finds it and I click on it and play store crashes. Again I went to other apps and can view them with no issues. I can update apps no issues. Next I wiped data for the play store, re-accepted once I reopened it, try to go to wave control and it still will force close.
I already have it from the browser version but wanted to test for you.

Damn. It was working on a friend of mine's Nexus w/ Jelly Bean where it had crashed before.
works great !!! Galaxy Note i717 running CM10 Paranoid hybrid!!! i will definitely use this when driving!!!!
Awesome, free version works as advertised on my RAZR MAXX running AOKP's ROM.
Don't get me wrong but apply for patent before thugs at apple copy it and claim it is there idea.
I remember when this first came out and was so impressed with the concept...and it really has a come a long way. :highfive:
This is one of the apps I repeatedly show off to others - oh and guess what, sir? I just got a Visa card and will be buying the Pro version because it's that awesome.
So essentially this post was just to say: you and this app are awesome, thanks for existing haha.
Google Now
delete please
mehhh...its alright I guess.
Great app
How about tasker integration? I would love to be able to activate/deactivate from within tasker. Another cool feature would be able to change the "key mapping" from within tasker. Say at some point I want 3 waves to turn on the screen, yet at sone other point it should simply do nothing.
I've just bought the pro version and like what I've seen so far

Okay, for a bit of background information I among many others have a Galaxy S6 and am currently experiencing a crippled hotword detection from Ok Google.
It only works in the app and where the widget is on a home screen. It does not work when it is off or in a different APP.
I am hoping someone who is rooted and has the same problem can temporarily adjust their build prop under the model and change it to Nexus 5 or SM-N910F and see if that restores the functionality of the google hotword detections under the settings.
When you go to the google search application, go to settings, click on voice, click on "Ok Google" detection, there should be multiple options here, not just "From the Google App". A reboot and maybe even a re-install of the google search apk may be required to properly test this. Either way, let me know. Thank you.

Apparently its been disabled.... If you use Nova launcher it will work from any home screen but it no longer works from any app... Which is a bummer... Used it all the time

Thanks for your reply, but it seems as though you didn't read what I wrote.
I know that it has been disabled. I believe an actual work around may be to modify the build prop as other phones are still functional.
Nova Launcher and the Google Now launcher allow you to use the hotword detection from any home screen, but they do not work in apps or when the screen is off, which is the key here.
