Does anyone know to change the default launched app when in Car mode on P3D Neon 2.0? I had a car home screen working great on the stock by just installing it from the Market - but after flashing P3D Neon, I cant get the cusrom car home screen to come up - it always launches some navigation that keeps asking for a license???

Guys,
My GTab is acting weird when I tried some games like Heavygunner, Krazykart and a few others.
The problem is that this games works in landscape mode but it seems that the picture keep spinning to the right and only stop if i put the tablet in portraid mode.... but again the picture still on landscape.
I am making myself clear?
For example: Krazykart... the game shows in landscape but for the car stay steady i have to put the tablet in portraid but the game is running on landscape.
I tried to go to settings and uncheck the g-sensor but no luck... all that does is take off the ability to control tilting it.
Is not on every game that this is hapening and funny is i have another tablet without g-sensor and this games works fine.
Is anybody have the games that I mention above working on gtab with no problems?
If you do, can you tell me where I can download and what version (rom) are you using?
Btw, I am using sotck (the latest version) because wife like it...
Appreciated any info.
As for me, the best car app for today is Car Home Ultra. It is customizable a lot and it shows more usable information on main screen.
But at the same time, I face the problem of finding "right" shortcuts.
For example, if I'm using shortcut for Phone, it always works in portrait mode. I can't get it in landscape
Does anyone knows how to get shortcuts for Phone (or Dialer) which are used in original HTC Car panel? Phone app in Car panel does rotate (Favorites, Recent Calls, Dialer)!!! see pics.

You would need a Desire Z dialer apk that has the ability to rotate. Problem is.. the Desire is the wrong resolution. You might want to search around a bit and see if anybody ported a rotating dialer to the Sensation...
I am not sure dialer from other phones are needed, because, as you can see on pictures, Sensation has already rotating dialer, at least from it's original Car panel.
I want to find shortcuts to these apps.
Ok. Perhaps right question is - how to get Phone mode (dialer) to landscape view?
Thanks to "topcattroy" from other forum for workaround on Car Home ultra.

" ... Inside this app's options it has a check box to turn on car home
which came with the phone. It acts like you put it into a car dock from verizon.
And guess what the dialer is now landscape. So when you use this app
when your driving you can put a shortcuts on the app to call or open the phone.
It is in LANDSCAPE. It took me since the phone came out till today to find this
to work. Hope this helps anybody with a thunderbolt. and i bet other androids too."
I am thinking about the same question after tried out several car home dock applications myself. How to get the dailing panel landscape? If you observe carefully most roms do not go to landscape mode of the sense home or dialer if you put your phone on the side. It seems the landscape mode of sense home is supported deep in the framework in the Gingerbread. Most devs, perhaps the htc soft-engineers too make the landscape mode off in the normal situation in order to prevent any complications. Only the devs can figure out how to trigure the landscape mode. Hope an expert finally can focus on thier eyes on this issue and make a application shortcut.
At the same time, native CarPanel allows dial mode go to landscape mode. Even 3rd part dialers works in landscape (but I like sense ).
Also for Windows phones there were quite easy to make "white list" in registry for apps to allow them to rotate.
I am not sure, but perhaps I have to ask this question in devs discussions.
I eventually got the dialer into landscape mode after a few tries. I am using a rooted leedroid ROM but its should be pretty much the same for standard ROM.
I had to remove all of the HTC Locations apps and widgets, as these are all system apps I used Android Optimizer for doing this. This also allowed me use the Google Car Home app which is installed but not accessible with HTC Locations installed.
To put the phone into Car Mode I use the Tasker app to set the Display Car Mode on but the Car Home Ultra app also has an option to do this.
With this done I can use the standard dialer in landscape and as I prefer to use Google Navigation app anyway then I dont have the HTC Locations installed at all and havent tried reinstalling in case it tries to take over again.
... and yes as a wee word of advise, backup everything before you start and then backup each item before you hit the remove button!
HTC is sending landscape dock stations... but Sense has no landscape mode !....
Is there any way to we can do to be able to use our dock stations without breaking our necks ?
Something like:
- Enable sense landscape mode ??
- Any app to be able to use a different launcher for portrait and landscape ??
Any ideas ???
Really TY !
i would be very much interested in this too.
mindboggling to think that they place the usb port on the side, design docks in landscape mode, and it wont switch to landscape.
As much as i understood, devices with a physical keyboard seem to be able to display sense in landscape, so i really wonder why that isnt available for the sensation
Thats why I use a portrait dock LOL. Actually I do but not because of preference, more of a need for more desk space at work. . I use craigsdocks.com and I can use any case on the market with these docks. You just need a little double sided tape to adjust anything. Anyways back to topic....
I think you can use launcherpro or some other launcher to go landscape but I prefer stock sense.
You can go landscape mode when the dock app is launched though. To get it to work, I can use an app called llama location profiles, https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kebab.Llama&feature=search_result
It's a condition/action app where you can set current conditions up and then when those conditions are met, the actions you set will trigger. So to trigger the dock app, I set it up where if the condition is when I have it on charging either usb or ac, connected to wifi, or any other condition like setting a time frame, the trigger will to launch the dock app. You can set up the conditions to your liking so that's the cool factor about it, IMO.
just dont use sense, it sucks anyway. best app is launcher pro, which has many useful settings and landscape of course too. the only good thing of sense is the lock screen, the rest is bullsh*t
Bulletproof ROM has dock mode and is awesome.
That ROM is running 1.72 so I'm not sure if Roman include it in his ROM or if it's actually something coming on 1.72.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
try car dock home it works for landscape and portrait mode
I've just docked updated to ICS my Nexus and screen is rotated 90 degree to landscape mode.
Also the same happen when I choose to use Gentle Alarm instead of build in Clock.
Is it bug or I can just switch it off somewhere?
In GB everything worked fine.
Same problem
Hi,
this annoys me as well! Is there any solution for that?
Hey guys,
I'm currently working on a dashboard, developed in HTML and CSS and i want to display this dashboard on a tv screen (screen hanging vertically). The problem is that the TV screen itself does not have a native portrait mode so i googled around and found the android stick which "might" solve this issue.
Is there any android stick you guys know of that can force the display (of say an app like Chrome) into portrait mode? I have a google chromecast but it doesnt seem to do the trick.
Try the app ultimate Rotation control. This fixed my problem the other way round. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate
