Tablet launcher

I see go launcher has a tablet version but I can't install it. Is there any good tablet launchers that do work on Note?

Install Imilka's ICS rom then change your dpi to 213 and you'll have tablet mode as standard.
Other option is VTL Launcher https://market.android.com/details?id=com.vtlab.launcher - Sassibob reviews it a few months ago

SPB Mobile Shell has a "tablet" mode which works well on the Note. I have been using it since I got the Note in November. It is relatively expensive, but for me it provides what I want and therefore is good value for money. It also has some good widgets... I attach a screen capture of the Weather widget.

I'm liking it so far. Will give it a go for a few days. Really like the weather widget

Nova & apex are pure ICS and both support landscape..
Adw drops to tablet mode but only at 160 (I think)

I've managed to install Go Launcher HD but it gives me a message that I should be using Go Launcher for phones (option to either cancel or go to market to download phone version). If I could only get rid of this pop-up message... I love Go Launcher widgets but the phone version lags in tablet mode...

Droid Razr car home apk

Hey peeps, I am looking for the stock droid razr car home app. I just got the s3 and my buddy has razr and i like his car home better than my car home ultra. any help would be great.

Would a Moto app even be compatible with a Samsung phone? I love Car Home Ultra!

Im sure it would. i have zumo cast on the s3. works flawless.
I hope someone post it
Let me edit.... I HOPE it will work.
Car home is an awesome app, i have used it for a year now. I just like the razr car app because you can, instead of for instance having all your music app taking up a whole 6 spots or so you can just have 1 music folder then when you click on that it will open up your options for the music app you want to choice.

Yours is the International version I think. You will need a different Homescreen Launcher like Nova, or Apex I think. Here's the Play Store link to Nova, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher

there is no way to make a change in the system (something to true) to make it enable? - why shouldnt it work internatinal?

He isn't saying that anything will not work on your phone because it is an International version. Basically this part of the forums is for Verizon models. We are not familiar with what is compatible with your phone and you will have better luck in the link that he gave you.

It's been pretty common that OEM Android Launchers (touchwiz/sense ui/mootorola) for whatever reason, don't permit home screen rotation. It's ridiculous, but I'm sure they have their reasons. Be glad the fix doesn't require a complicated process. I use Apex and Nova launcher, and they are both awesome. Of course, you'll lose the signature Touchwiz UI widgets and such, most of which are easily mimicked with apps in the Play store.

[Q] Dock station screensaver/widget

Hi everyone
I bought my n8000 few weeks ago, and Im pretty happy with that.
I decided to keep it unrooted and on stock rom to keep all the s-pen features and so on.
I was using few Samsung devices before (like sgn2 sgs2) and they were showing some weather/clock screensaver when the device was placed into official dock station. I bought EDD-D100BE dock and I was expecting there to be something similar. But when I place it into a dock nothing happens. Is there any option to do the same stuff on n8000 without installing custom roms? Maybe some app from market will do that?
Or I should wait till Samsung will add a new firmware version?
thanx for help

Try using Desk Clock Plus from the Play Store.

Does the S8/S8+ have MirrorLink?

This is important to me. I have a Mercedes Benz CLA45 AMG and am frustrated MirrorLink would never work with my HTC 10. I have read that MirrorLink is really picky on the version being ran on the phone vs what is on the vehicle but it is a PIA to even troubleshoot. Hoping the issue is with connectivity is my current device and am anxious to move to the S8+. That will be one of the first things I test. I'll report back to see if any one updates. I believe TMobile devices may land a day or so early.

I should be getting mine, in 6 days. If the delivery doesnt get ****ed up. I will test aswell. I just heard rumors, and some article mentioning that it should have MirrorLink.
But I havent seen anyone confirming this

NICE
Mostly google maps and spotify
And thanks for getting back with it

I wish my cars had it ('15 pathfinder, '15 corvette and '14 ML350) Wouldn't mind sending the image to my screen.

Had the Galaxy S8 for a few days now and to my surprise, I can confirm that it does have MirrorLink! I bought it thinking it didn't.
My car has a Sony XAV-602BT double-din headunit so I will try this out shortly and report back!

Yeah it does have, here's even screenshot of function

Bad news...
So I tried my Galaxy S8 on my Sony XAX-602BT and MirrorLink does not work
My head unit flickers for a split second as if it's about to work and then nothing. The headunit just says to connect a supported device. I've tried numerous ways of connecting it with different cables, switching the headunit of then connecting and vice versa but same result. The S8 registers as being connected via MirrorLink though.
It's not an issue with the headunit as this works with my two previous phones, my Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z albeit a buggy experience.
I've done some research and it seems to be because MirrorLink 1.1 only letting you use certain apps which have the right certificates.... Problem is, there are hardly any useful MirrorLink certified apps since it's such a niche thing to have!
On my two previous phones MirrorLink would work but it would just mirror whatever is on the screen which was useful when it actually worked... I've always found MirrorLink to be buggy at best: constant disconnects, overheating phone, audio drops, battery not charging, screen freezing etc.
My advice: If you want the S8 or the S8+ then go for it as they are amazing phones. Upgrade your headunit to one that supports Android Auto as that does work reliably and will have much more support than MirrorLink since Google are backing it.

Did anyone try the LG mirrorlink app with S8? I can't get it to work because it recognizes the samsung phone.
It was fine on S7 and it offers full screen mirroring even when driving.

Samsung Galaxy S8 + Suzuki Vitara with Mirrorlink, it does work. You need to have mirrorlink compatible apps installed.

Yes!
In galaxy app store you have Samsung car mode, check if your car is compatible.

Hi,
