Thanks for putting this out there, any chance we can rev this so that the music and contacts don't force close? I'd like to see this working before I make the switch.
Great start btw, much appreciated.

what does this do? nvm found out its the same as carpanel that comes with the incredible but looks ugly.

No problem i like it cause the buttons are bigger, as far as making the music and stuff work im no dev or anything but im sure a dev could you would hav to have any other files that support. And with the DI being rooted the possibilities are basically endless.

I finally got around to trying this. A huge improvement over the default Incredible Car Panel... Would really like to see the contacts work but the ability to turn on the bluetooth as well as to have something as simple as landscape mode really makes this a winner for me and looks like it was well thought out. I'm tempted to get started in development just to contribute to this app... unfortunately I'm a script kiddie at best. But I will keep my hopes up that someone with skill can delve into this.

It's not overly pretty but it is fast and much more functional. Why did HTC leave out landscape mode??

Ditto, I would really love it if someone can fuzz those two items.
Everything else works like a charm, its so simple and functional

WooHoo - Last.fm button in Car mode
Thanks for posting this. I was getting so frustrated because I disabled the stock Music.apks and couldn't get Settings Profiles to load up either Last.fm or Pandora.
I however, would love to remove the music button as well from this dock. I want to be able to have my last.fm and Pandora buttons and everything else can stay (haven't experienced a force close yet..)
I have it set in Settings Profiles that when I'm on USB charger and headset/aux it activates car mode (no screen timeout) and runs CarDock.apk. Having both those apps on there would be awesome.
How many beers would I have to buy someone to do that..? Or, how hard is it to do that myself..nm, scratch that.

[Request] [App] [Mod] Car Home

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.
/Söder

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 tried with the QR code, a market search and the direct download email.
Hopefully this can either be shared or gets put back up on the market.

slide tab on app

Hi guys!
i'm not a dev, but a friend of mine is developing an android app we'll use together.. so i'm asking you guys hoping someone can help!!
we (he) has a problem implementing a gesture on our app: slide right.
i try to explain what the app should do:
in the main page the app shows a list of elements (so background with screenwide rectangular containing the elements, picture, name and small description). the idea is to slide the tab (the screenwide rectangular) right and pull it "out of the screen" just for 30% of the size.
ok ok i have to admit, i'm really really bad on explain myself
but i've found an IOS app is doing in very very smoothly, it's called Nixter (the one in the video)
my friend is saying that android don't "allow" this gesture and the only way to make it work is some workaround.. is it true?? can anyone help me (us) here?? it would be really really appreciated
i'm asking you guys because i don't want to upset my friend doubting his word..
forgot the video:

You CAN implement the same in Android too ... Android does ALLOW gestures .. I also once saw a small library that implements such a thing ... i'll update the libraries details once i remember it's name ..
