Hi guys,
The touchstone is great, works very well, but for some reason CM7 XRON 2.9.1 automatically starts either my clock or gentle alarm when I dock.
Is there any way to stop this happening? I cant see any setting for that. I will also ask in the CM7 XRON thread... as it may be an issue with that rom.
Tx
Mark.
When I read the title, I thought this was a "how-to" post showing success.
The only thing I can find is the setting to turn off the dock sound in android.
I am more interested in a way to disable exhibition mode in webOS. I think its cool, but when you have a case, that covers the screen its pointless. So, I was hoping a preware package for that.

The app Dock Nothingness turns it off. Also the app Alarm Clock Plus lets you disable it or launch a different app when it docks.
I thought u can just delete dock.apk from system/app.
Let me try it...

use your favorite root browser.
Go to system/app.
Find deskclock.apk rename it to deskclock.apk.bak
No more annoying dock when placing on touchstone

I just got the ADW.Launcher and it has been the best home replacement app so far.
You have the nexus one like app drawer and shortcut dock, and you can adjust the speed the pages flick, page bounce back (like the iphone) and set the number of pages you want to have.
Fully supports all widgets, and really fast (no lag at all like open home or a home)
the best thing is i've used my x10 for 5 hours straight and its only gone down to 95% battery left.
give it a try!
Am using it. Love the Sense Preview, although it could be less choppy (but they fixed most of that in the latest version). Also like the dock bar, and applications drawer.
it great, however, before on one of main screen I had option to turn wifi, bluetooth, phone and gps on the fly by tapping on it. Now after I installed ADW, it is gone, does anybody know how to get it back or something alternative?

Yeah, it should be a widget. I believe it is called quick settings.
Easily the best homescreen replacements. Tried a few Home++ for example and this one is a keeper... havent tried GDE yet....maybe in a while but for now ill stick with this
where can i get this?

I'm just trying to find a way to disable the weather wallpaper so my live wallpaper stays on after I unlock if I don't move the screen.
I know 1.5 didn't have it, so there must be some way to disable both it and the call to it, so it's like it was never there to begin with.
I searched, but came up with nothing I could use. I'm not sure entirely how it works, but there should be a line you can comment out somewhere or something.

If u mean the Weather Animation after unlocking the screen there is a option at the Weather Application.
I can't seem to find the option to shut it off in there anywhere. All I have is Update Automatically, Update Frequency, and Temperature Scale, and nothing else. ; ;
Am I looking in the wrong place for it or something?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
remove the widget then when you go to readd it, it will prompt you for animation after you select a city.
Sent from my HERO200 using Tapatalk
Hehe... Mine doesn't seem to want to cooperate. When I remove it and add it again, it doesn't ask for anything, it just GPSs my current location.
I tried the other two smaller widgets too, the ones that do ask for your location, but nothing ever came up about being able to disable the weather wallpaper.
This is pretty frustrating. lol It should be such an easy task. I mean really, am I missing something? All I wanna do is shut it off, even if I need to do a little programming to do it.

It is a sense thing, but on any 2.2 Sense rom you can remove the HTCLockscreen and the original one will appear in its place. It works, but you can't use it for controlling Sense applications (music, calendar, sense alarm clock).

You have a couple options. If you have EStrongs file explorer and root and read/write turned on go to /system/app/ and delete htclockscreen.apk. or you can flash the attached file. this removes the HTC Sense lockscreen and just leaves the vanilla. If you use sense apps like alarm they wont work properly so you should download an alternative from the market like open alarm or AlarmKlock

Actually the alarm will work as long as you use the asop clock to set alarms...
Just wondering if there still isn't anyway to use the vanilla lock screen to answer calls yet?
oh i know i can just remove the apk, but oh god i hate the Vanilla lock screen... blah yuck.
ok first thing you'll say is the iphone style is nearly the same.
nope, it isnt is my answer.
You can also use widget locker on the market. it has an option for iPhone style screen unlocker.

So-- you can't find this in your app drawer.
You can do a search from your search button, or go into applications and loot at all applications. It's called
Dock Mode
And it came on the sensation.
I'm trying to figure out how to add an icon to the desktop... can someone help??
****EDIT*** MY APOLOGIES--- MODS PLEASE MOVE TO Q&A
You have to plug your S4G to a dock to access it or use a dock simulator that's available on the market.

Any dock that I have seen is simply a USB plug, and I don't see any dock pins on the sensation...
Oddly enough I was trying to use a desk dock app from the market when I stumbled on this dock app.
Wow, I've been wondering how to access this forever. It's so strange the app is missing but you can access it through search.

It's just like how the HTC eBooks app is missing but the widget is still there. The voice recorder app as well. So strange.
Ya, I noticed there was an ereader widget but no app, and I just got a notification from HTC on the phone saying there was a voice recording widget available..
I just played around with my phone and here is what I've got going on.
I've had deskloader app from the market on the phone. In order for the sensation desk dock to activate when plugged in I have to set up this deskloader app to :
Enable Dock Manager
Set select dock type to desk clock
Boot on start
And - I choose to use the schedule
If I disable this deskloader, it's a no go on power plug in for the sensation app to load.
Use AnyCut to create a shortcut or download Dock Simulator. In anycut there are two options for DockMode one also will launch clock apps like Gentle Alarm.
Download anycut from the market. Create shortcut>activity > dock mode.

Let me know how it works for you...
Seems to work good for me. Only problem is it takes power to launch the dock, clock, or whatever app you want.
I was hoping to just use my spare charger and 3 batteries, fab up a quick "dock" or holder to place my phone in at night, and still use the dock.... the most desirable way by just hitting the dock button.
All these docks you plug your phone into are OK, but add any type of case and it's NO GO...

There is one the international version. The T-Mobile US version doesn't have it for whatever reason.
If you install adw or another launcher the dock mode app is available.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
You don't need a new launcher to access it. Apps Organizer or Folder Organizer from the Market will let you create custom folders for your apps, and dock mode shows up in it's list of apps, it's not a direct shortcut, but will let you place it in a home screen folder for easy access.
Am I missing something or does the car dock app not integrate with Google music or Pandora? I don't use tunein or store music on my phone directly so this app loses appeal for me. Any ideas?

I think there was a thread earlier today about this to. Im in the same boat but I use spotify. As far as I can tell theres no way to change the icons.
It's a shame that it cant be customized. I'd like to add Spotify and an app that detects speed cameras. I guess i will need to switch to the old car app that was abandoned by google.

the original car home doesn't have ICS support, has CM taken it and run with it?
I've been using Car Home Ultra for the last few days and while it works and you can add custom app shortcuts, it's really ugly. It's the equivalent of a Geocities website with blinking text and animated GIFs.
If I knew anything about creating an Android app and I had the time I could make some decent spare cash building a beautiful car app.
I found the Google one on XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569027
Install both APK's works fine. Why HTC didn't allow there's to be customizable is beyond me.

You can use Rotation Locker from the play store, Gunny. Long press the Auto option to get the home screen and dialer to rotate.

Bit of a late reply but I've only started using the car app and encountered the same problem.
The solution is to go into the music app that comes with the phone. Here you'll see a couple of music related apps like tunein radio and soundhound. Click on the options icon up the top right and select 'add shortcut'. Add all the apps you want (pandora, spotify, music players).
Now when you enter the car mode the last app you added will appear on the bottom right. You can access all the media shortcuts you added by scrolling to the right twice.
Pressing the home button from any screen will take you back into the original screen so you can alter your music even when in navigation.
Hope this helps anyone using the car mode app.
No luck with that, either. TuneIn is always there.

Maybe it doesn't recognise the app your using as a music app?? I did it with playerpro and it does appear as the bottom right icon automatically.
What happens if you scroll to the right twice from the car mode homescreen.
One scroll to the right takes me to the default music player and the second scroll takes me into all the shortcuts I added using the music app.
I tested this with a random, non-music related app and it didn't appear on the car mode homescreen but did still appear as an icon when I scrolled right twice.
You should be able to swipe to the right twice off of the main Car Home screen, and that should give you all of the shortcuts that are in the HTC Music app. The bottom right icon on the main screen should then reflect the last app you used.

Yeah just to confirm, even if its not a music app it will still appear in the bottom right if that was the last of you shortcuts to be opened.
