This free app solves the no-audio-out problem for those of us who are not running the Samsung dock apps and want to use the analog out jack on the desk and car dock.

It's awesome. Many thanks to whoever wrote it!!!
Agreed, this app works great and gives you the flexibility to configure the car and media dock separately. For instance, I have it automatically redirect my media dock, but leave my car dock as is because I use bluetooth.
thanks go to xcaliburinhand...

Regarding "whoever wrote it" - here's a link to the author's original post about the app development (within the thread that inspired it over in the captivate forum). You'll see he's received many "Thanks" for it, and has a Donate/paypal link in his profile info .
Sweet! Finally!!

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

I know I for one (and I'm sure many others) would LOVE to see an app that can edit the oem car dock app. I've used the other's on the market, and they are ok, but the oem one is the "nicest" one I think. If only we could customize it. I'm kind of suprised dev's haven't ripped into this already....
Me too I think its a great idea why cant we select which sat nav and music player we wish to use. Any great app developers out there that can do this or has it already been done.

I am guessing you meant the HTC car panel app? The Google one can be customized already. I would like to be a ble to customize the HTC one. I don't use footprints. I would rather see that button remapped to places.
I own a Samsung Vibrant and there are two apps that i would like to have on my Galaxy Tab they are Car Home & Desk Home (http://androidspin.com/2010/07/21/car-home-and-desk-home-for-samsung-vibrant-owners/). Does any one know where i can find the equivalent for the Galaxy Tab or any way to port them from the Vibrant to the Tab? I have searched the Market and nothing. Thank you.
EDIT: Ok as heru posted both Car and Desk home can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895638. Once i get to install them i will report back.
While it's not exactly what you're looking for, I have found Better Alarm to be a pretty decent app that is somewhat comparable to the "Desk Home" app. It doesn't have the application shortcuts, but it looks great on your desk (or bedside table in my case).
Actually you can run the Desk Home app from Vibrant in the Tab.
It display fullscreen, but the top part (Date, time & weather) doesn't fully utilize the whole screen (there are empty space on the right side).
you can run them both just rip them from your vibrant

Instead of Car Home, download and install Car Dock v3 from the market, it scales properly to the Tab's screen and is a lot more versatile.
I just received the Car Dock and I was trying to add an application to the Car Dock window. On my D1 I could add just about anything I wanted. But on the Charge I can't. I was wanting to add the Slacker and SiriusXM apps. Just noticed that I can't add a Direct Dial Contact like I could on the D1.
You have to get a 3rd party car dock app... like cardock home v3.
actually should just be able to tap an available space and select application with that car dock software in your pic

How? Those are the only choice I have. I can do what you suggest on my D1 but not the Charge. UNLESS their is an issue with GummyCharged GBE 1.5 or Gingerbread.

You might be right. I have since downloaded Car Dock V3 and will play with it on my way home tonight. I do like the Map that is on the original Car Dock. Seems to be different than the App one.

You pick one of those launchers first, then you can select applications.
I'll give it a try.
Hello,
with this widget you can by one click connect/disconnect your Bluetooth audio device and automatically open other App (like music player) without going into the settings menu. The App supports A2DP, HFP profile, device like portable speakers, sound bars, headphones etc.. On widget you can see connected profiles and battery status (req. Android 8.1). Widgets are fully customizable.
The App support Quick settings tile and notifications for quick selection active device.
I would be grateful for any feedbacks.

My thoughts and prayers go out to them....
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus, Samsung Galaxy Buds Live.
New update 3.2.8 brings battery level for each earbuds.
Hi, new update rolling out now. It brings bottom sheet menu for control Bluetooth profiles and selecting active device. For showing this menu please enable enhanced widget mode.
Hi,
new update 4.2.2 rolling out now. Update brings new features such as dynamic colors for widgets.
It requires min. Android 12. Probably not all launchers support this function, so I will be glad for your feedback.
Have a nice day
Tom
Hi,
new update 4.4.1 rolling out now.
You can pin more Widgets for one device. It's desirable function of all Samsung Fold and other multi display phones users.
Have a nice day!
Tom
Hey, I don't suppose a feature for just showing battery levels is possible? Or is there something already out there?
Something like the native wearables app where it shows battery for the case and the left right buds but without the extra buttons for noise control, touch control and 360 audio?
Attached images are edited to show what I mean and give ideas.
Thanks.
