Try this link. http://www.droid-life.com/2010/10/0...feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+DroidLife+(droid+life) Hurry before it's gone.
Another place to get it just in case http://www.robotbriefs.com/news/2010/10/1/google-car-home-app-updated-then-pulled-we-have-it.html
Seems to not install correctly for me. Wonder if there's a conflict between it and HTC's Car Panel.
When it installed, it doesn't show up as a selectable app on the app page. However, if you start HTC's Car Panel or "Car Dock" from the market, or "Custom Car Home" from the market, it gives you the option to use Car Home.
Wonder if I uninstalled the HTC app if it would work better.
I like it finally able to add Pandora to the menu. Also might be old but being able to start car home when connected to a Bluetooth device is greatness

That bluetooth feature makes it great to avoid having to buy official docks.

OK, running myn's stock ROM with from the latest OTA. Still having problems getting this to work correctly. I first thought it was a conflict with HTC's stuff or one of the other two car docks I listed above, but even after uninstalling all three, it still doesn't show up as an app on the app page.
Install Car Home, and then get the CarHomeLauncher.apk from here:

Install it and you should now see the Car Home icon on your app page.

Dam was too late the download is not available. Canr someone that downloaded the file share it with me?
Nvm I found the working link.
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.

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.
Ran into the issue where the lockscreen shortcut wasn't showing the Phone in the list. It was kind of pissing me off, so I made a simple app that will simply launch the Phone app. That's it. It's just a shortcut essentially.
Install as a regular APK.
I've named it "Phone" in the app drawer and gave it the same icon (as seen in screenshots below). I can rename it to like Dialer or something if you guys prefer to be able to distinguish it, but I'm sure this will do the trick for the majority who have this issue.
Works great thanks! It was pissing me off too after flashing ROMs it would dissappear
Thanks

How do you install this on your sensation? I tried clicking the link and installing as a regular apk as I normally would and it says the content is not supported on the phone. No application can be found to open this file. I even tried scanning the QR Code and it doesn't seem to work as well. Any suggestions? I appreciate your help as I am a noob on here.

Install astro and look in options, there should be a setting to enable all downloads from the internet.
Man, thanks so much for this APK. Just ran into this issue myself, and your solution worked out perfectly.
Any help for this issue? Got a "The application DialerShortcut (process com.roman.dialershortcut) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. This happens everytime I try to press on the shortcut. Additionally, on my home screen, everytime I try to press "Phone" at the bottom of the screen, nothing pops up...

Thanks beyond a million for the apk!! As a company, why the hell would they remove the damn dialer shortcut!?!?!
this worked for my HTC sensation, I really appreciate you creating this app, thank you.
Hi Roman,
Do you mind sharing this piece of source code? I am newbie and want to create a shortcut to other applications in the draws. Thanks.
So I'll have a widget up, and I'll long press it, and I get a few options. Delete, info, market and choose catalogue. Whenever I hit choose catalogue, ADW crashes. Anyone else have this problem?

I would ask in the Roms thread instead of opening a new thread in the wrong section.

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?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
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.

Its functional, but doesnt look that nice imo. Too bad there are no skins.
It's ugly for sure but very customizable.

since i'm on CM i'm using the original google car home. it can be customized fairly well. not sure if you can disable the htc version and use that one or not.

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.

(i see you found it) I just install the apk and have tasker (best app ever) launch it when it docks.
Does anyone know how to make the dialer go into landscape like it does in htc car mode?
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.
