hey everybody,
just got my brand new cardock and played a bit with the 2.2 brand new car home..
It's pretty cool and easy to use but there's something that can make it maybe even better : what about those empty spots on the "second" page? You've got maps, settings, brightness and then 3 empties...
I'm wondering if there's any dev out there willing to mod the app and try to get those empty spots customizable;
What if we could set a direct sms , or direct call, or custom app launch on one of those empty spots? Maybe even better if we could have more than 2 pages...
This is just an idea, but I hoestly don't have the needed tech skilss to make this happen so... anybody willing to contribute/help/make the dream come true?
Everybody's contribution is well appreciated
This is somethine also I want. I want spotify on that second page.

Agreed. Would be nice to add apps to those empty spots.

Has anyone dug into the code and see if the carhome has shortcut intents?
Since there's no way to actually modifiy from the UI, I think that's how google may have coded it.
This is a great idea for a mod. I've used the Car Dock V.2 app in the past, but went back to the stock Car Home. I have zero skill in coding, but I wonder if it wouldn't be simpler to create a car home app that retains the look of the Google app, but with some similar functionality to Car Dock V.2 (long press icons to add shortcut, change icon, etc... and add maybe add extra screens). I don't know about the rest of you, but the Exit Car home annoys me too. I much preferred it in 2.1 when you could go into the standard launcher, but the home key would take you back to the car home. Just a couple of thoughts.
I know this is my first post, but I really think the car app is one of those where the stock app, just misses the boat.
So, glad to see some of you feel the same needing of a better car dock app...
I really hoped holiday time could bring a dev/coder to take a look at this thread, but it seems like some more advertising is indeed needed!

Looks like Car Home is proprietary Google software like GMail. I couldn't find any source and/or the ability to use shortcut intents
Prof-KOS is probably right, would be easier just to make a look alike
I think Google did a very disappointing job on with car dock in froyo
For now I have configured one screen of adw launcher with things I need for car mode. Then I have installed dock nothingness to disable the car home. And also car dock settings app to switch on-off Bluetooth etc...
Is it possible to even color the car dock icons, maybe with a morph???
Hey guys, did you try custom car home?
It's doing pretty much what I was looking for so if anybody is interested may give it a try
Let me know your thoughts, It's pretty basic but usefull for me

Google just updated the Android Car Home, now it's a stand alone app and customizable.
Great! Too bad I can't update through the market with CM6, guess because it's a system app..
Could anybody post the app or remind me the adb commands to do the trick?

ye, anyway I found my way out with adb so made it on time and got it from the market... is it really disappeared in the meantime? Saw also modaco tweeting about that...
[EDIT]
I pulled out the apk if anybody should need it...
I had two Car Home 2.2's in Titanium Backup-- one was "CarHomeGoogle.apk" and one was "CarHomeLauncher.apk"
I deleted both of them, and now there's no icon for Car Home-- I have a feeling I shouldn't have deleted CarHomeLauncher, but I forgot I needed to reboot after I removed CarHomeGoogle. D'oh.
Anyone have that launcher apk?
moskuito, I couldn't get that apk you posted to install by directly downloading it from here to my phone

Missed your Wrist Watch? Now you have a new clock design and fancy buttons and new Font!
As my gift to XDA members, this app is free for limited time. If you want to support me buy it on market -->
***Icons in "add alarm" have same color as the watch, i just didnt uploaded pics for those
Link
It only takes 1 sec to click on "Thanks button".
Dear devs, plz do not add the clock to your roms. Thank you.
Credit: 4 Menu buttons are from Miuitheme/Glowbuster theme.
Thanks for you great efforts.
NOTES: App should work for most roms, some devices running gingerbread might have issues. If app finds enough fans, gingerbread version will also be added.
Instructions:
1) Clean cache in your stock Clock app and remove the old widget.
2)rebooting not necessary but recommended.
3)Copy it to your sdcard and install it with your favorite installer
4) Enjoy!

Hey,
Great looking app, can't wait to try it out.
Just installed it to my Desire HD (stock rom, 1.72 firmware) via adb and whenever I try to add the widget to my home screen, it tells me "no more room on this homescreen". This is with LauncherPRO.
On restart of my phone I also got a message saying that the process had crashed and had to force close. (app loads fine however, just not able to put the widget on)
Any suggestions?
I just tried it on my galaxy s it says no enough romm in this page in both launcher pro and touchwiz.
When i open the app it force close and keep doing the same.
I really want this watch but no luck.

There was no need to use adb! It's similar to stock but not same app. The widget will occupy the whole screen. Did you have another shortcuts on the screen when u tried?

Thanks man , looks great and attractive to me . Will give it a try now.
Btw can this directly be installed from the market? Unlike other apps which require root access plus fiddling with the adb process and commands?

Heh, only reason I used adb was because I downloaded the apk on my desktop, and my phone was plugged in but not mounted. I'm lazy like that XD
And yeah, I tried it on an empty home screen, so no other widgets on it.

Hey Adam, I've been toying around with the launcher pro settings, just found, your widget uses a 5x5 layout currently which may be why many people are having issues not being able to add this to a home screen since the default is 4x4.
Any chance of a 4x4 version?
Cheers

Nice! You reminded me of how much I want one of these Nano Watches
I've used a black and also a black/blue themed market. I installed it recently. Using Root man. I dropped it into ex-sd then from there placed it in System/app and let it overwrite the Vending.apk. It worked and looked great. I shut down the phone and when restarted, it was back to standard green. How do I stop this, so it stays black?

You will need an updated themed market. everytime the market is updated you will lose any custom theme you have unless you freeze the updater but that could cause issues in its self. Your best bet is to see if the one that made theme has an updated version.
Was there an update today? Ive been working on a theme and kept flashing it today, but my market kept turning back to the usual green.
It happens to mine periodically, I just keep the zip file downloaded now in case it happens again

Puffinugz try removing the market updates. Manage apps and uninstall updates. Then install your themed market. Having any updates installed will cause your market to revert, sometimes the updates are stoted under data/apps. So id remove any market related content from there as well.

What are the updates getting me? Are they necessary? Not quite sure I understand the removal process and that would only be good until the next update....Correct?

Each update fixes things and sometimes brings new features. You can stop it from updating by freezing the market updater or yes everytime the market updates you will lose any market theme you have. That goes for other programs as well like gmail. Normally the themed apks get updated soon after they come out so should not be long.
2.3.3 is the latest.

I think this would be a great launcher to have on our Tabs. Tried to install and it completes in CWM but does not show up as an option. Then I moved it all into place using Root Explorer but it force closes and will not start. Here is the link to the original thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907551

Download Tab Launcher Here!!
UPDATE!!!!!!!!
Here Guys, this is a launcher built for tabs from the same company.
Download, find it on SD card using my files or es file explorer, and install it. It installs like any regular app.
The launcher is in Beta, but I haven't had any problems with it yet.

Seems to be a modified version of ADW Launcher. You are able to put more icons on lower dock.
Also seems to be really laggy, will play for a bit and see how it goes, thnx for link.
Anybody know of any other tablet optimized launchers?
[EDIT] App drawer seems to be screwed, Its to narrow and changing the margin just do anything.

The OP is discussing a different lanucher but the user who posted the apk file is indeed referring to the VTL launcher.
PS. I was wrong about the app drawer, it was because I hadnt put anything in the side docks yet

Yeah, this thread is about a 3D launcher port from a tablet.

Just an update. Picked up a Viewsonic GTablet this weekend and tried the 3D launcher. Its nice but slow and needs alot of work, the project has been put on hold by the original poster and not sure if it will pick back up or not.
Yeah sorry, was late and posted wrong. This is from same company and is for tabs. Best used in landscape mode.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up, the new market apk that was posted up yesterday, version 3.1.5, works awesome on the Transformer. No FC's, we can finally rate an app from the market, feels much more intuitive than stock market, and much smoother/better optimized for tablet than 3.1.3.

The reason you're getting two is because they're different package names. If you're rooted, delete the original. If not, you're stuck with both... But hey, you've always got the option to delete the new one.

"tablet market"? my version is missing the 'staff picks for tablets'. have I downloaded the wrong 3.1.5 version?
also, my icon was replaced by this update but the app remains on the system, so only one visible in apps.

Same here. My new market looks quite different
I feel the UI is actually a bit more cluttered than the stock market app. I have gotten a few FC on this one already.
Does anybody have the apk of the market that came with the Transformer?
The UI seems really cluttered with this. Maybe I'm just not used to it... but it does look like things are stretched/not placed correctly, you can clearly see this on the My Apps screenshot. I don't think this is 100% optimized for tablets and I hope this is the reason why it hasn't been officially pushed to our devices.
