Car Mode for Galaxy (works with mirrorlink) - Galaxy Note5 Themes and Apps

Do you guys have the latest car mode for galaxy with mirrorlink? I think its version 3 and its only available on note 5 thru Galaxy Apps store. I need the apk file. Thanks!

What you could do is download a rom and get it from there

Its not preloaded,it has to be downloaded from galaxy apps store.

I was going to install it & copy the apk to post here but it's got pretty bad reviews. Users reporting it screws up your home & back buttons even after uninstall. I could always just restore a nandroid if really needed but I don't feel like doing all that right now. You're not able to download it on your phone?

I can't. Im trying to port it thats why im looking for a copy. Thank you. I hope you can give it a try

Ok, here's what I got installing it. One is the app, the other is some remote installer? Carmodestub.apk has always been in my stock based rom prior to installing, not sure if it's required for Carmode to work but I'm including it anyway just in case.

You know you can just edit your build prop to n5 then download from Sammy store. The s6 edge car mode is different as well if you want that one

I can not install the file. I get an error saying file not installed.
I can not find the file on galaxy apps either. I have a Telus note 5, sm-n920w8.
Any help would new appreciated. I really love this app. Used it on my note 4 allot.

At first, I also couldn't find Car Mode in GALAXY Apps (UAE) so I called Samsung support and they said they would look into the problem and make it compatible with my device. I thought it's just another generic response, but less than 24 hours Car Mode re-appeared in GALAXY Apps with a slightly updated version number. You can download the APK file from the attachments. This version (3.xxx) is actually great for driving, and much improved from the Galaxy S5 (v0.1xxx) or even S6 (v2.xxxx). It is feature-rich now. It can work with HERE Maps which are more reliable and work offline, and can get location information from your contacts and calendar events (amazing feature) so you can easily select a person or event instead of searching the map. It stores the recent destinations just like a normal car navigation, and can also be configured to ask you if you want to save the parking location when you exit the car mode.

Thanks for and info. I still don't see it in my Galaxy app store, so I downloaded your provided APK. However, when I run the app, it tells me there is a new version of Car Mode and I need to update to continue (see attached), then dumps me out.

It's most probably because of the different ROM. I live in the UAE, and use XSG (open/unlocked) ROM. If you use a carrier device, you'll always get different things here or there. I am not sure you can flash other Samsung ROM's if you use USA carrier devices (different model numbers from the international version SM-N920C). However, just like I mentioned in the beginning of my post, you can contact Samsung and ask them to make it available. They did this in my case (or maybe it was just a lucky coincidence).
You can also try a direct link to the app in GALAXY App store, like this
Code:
http://www.samsungapps.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.sec.android.automotive.drivelink&equipID=SM-N920C
(change SM-N920C to your model number)

Good. I think we should (cautiously) give Samsung credit for their responsive support.
Also, may I ask you to upload the APK? I may give it a try myself but mostly for other people who may search the forums for it.

How do I get to the original downloaded APK? I searched the phone and only found CarmodeStub (that comes preloaded) and CarModeRemote, both of which are only a few hundred kb is size, not the 15 MB claimed in the Galaxy app store. If getting the APK requires root, we are out of luck as I'm on Verizon.
I'm starting to see more reviews for the app in the Galaxy app store though. So hopefully people can actually get to it now.

You can use an app like ES File Explorer File Manager which you can use to back up any app. There are a lot of similar apps but this one provides better names for the backed up apks (App name+vesion).

That's what I did (though I used Root Explorer instead of ES), searching everything I could for "carmode", and I got these reaults.

OK, you didn't find it because the apk name doesn't include the word "car", it's com.sec.android.automotive.drivelink
That's one reason why ES Explorer is much better. It is not simply a file browser or manager. The APP function is ES is a complete App management solution.

(App) Samsung ChatON service

Free messenger service from Samsung. Works on Android phones, Samsung Bada devices, and feature phones. Also devices on other mobile platforms as well like iOS and BlackBerry. Also web client to work from PC.
Check http://www.chaton.com/
Check video on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMPEm147BPo
Reported first on: http://samsungtomorrow.com/1567/
Official Samsung blog: http://translate.google.com/transla...amsung.com/index.jsp&sl=ko&tl=en&hl=&ie=UTF-8
Rumored to be launched in IFA Berlin.
It's kind of like WhatsApp, but what I really like about ChatON is the fact that you can access it from the web.
I'll sure take a look, when it comes out!
Hopefully this is good sounds fantastic. We need more competitors rolling out messaging services to rival and or make a better product close as BBM.
sounds great.
When will this be available for download??
Wanna give this a try, hope it's good and catches on.

Market or Samsung Apps! Search 'ChatON' in Samsung Apps, or search for 'Samsung ChatON' in the Market, be sure to +1 it!
I was really looking forward to use this app but it seems its not compatible with landscape oriented phones. I have the Samsung Galaxy pro and it appears that its not compatible. I don't know how they didn't make it compatible with my phone being that it has a hardware keyboard and its mainly use for messaging. I hope they solve this because its not going to be my phone only but the two new galaxy pros.
Edit: I installed with the apk and apparently it works in landscape also. All that is left is that the verification code arrives in my phone.

APK in Zip file
Please note, the Zip is NOT flashable.
Market link is here too https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sec.chaton
Bizarre. I downloaded the ZIP and installed on my device, but the market link says it is not compatible with my device model. Um, it's installed and running. Now, I still have not gotten the verification code via sms, but it is installed and running. Way to go Samsung.
Edit: It actually says it cannot be installed in my country (I'm in Canada), yet when I opened it, it knew I was in Canada and set the country code properly.)

I installed it first time using samsung Apps (where the APK is from) and got the verification code instantly.
I've removed it and installed from the market (so I can get proper updates) and yeah.... no verification code
I say give it time, probably too many requests
Yeah, that's what I figured. It most likely is not available in my country right now as well because they are trying to "roll" it out over a few countries so there isn't so many requests for codes. Us "geeks" jumping the gun

Nextbook Next7s Hacking

E-Fun's latest Android tablet is now on the shelf at BigLots. It's a $99 budget device running 4.0 ICS.
I tried to install Android Market (the easy way) and the app crashes. I take that means this tablet will require a little more work. Has anyone hacked it yet?
I am also interested in knowing how to get Gapps to work on this as well...just purchased mine on the 27th at Big Lots too for the $89.99 special, been trying all apk's with no luck..keeps on crashing when clicking it.
When I sent a note to E Fun asking if there were any plans to update and add Google support, the response was:
This is not an issue we can change. Like the majority of tablets on the market Google will not grant a licenses to use their app market. The tablets are designed to work with third party Android apps sites where you can still download Android apps, the only difference is it's from a different website.​
Of course I sent them a list of bunches of budget tablets that come with access...
I don't have the technical savvy to create the necessary mods -- but if anybody out there is interested, and there's anything I can do to assist, please let me know! With access to the google apps, this would be one sweet little tablet for the price!
I found this but it is for the next7 ...shouldn't be much different, or so I'd think...I will give it a try I suppose.

I'm pretty sure that was written for Gingerbread, not ICS. The last couple of posts kind of imply that it didn't work on the Next7S.
Your right...besides not finding the USB drives anywhere (as I cannot get the sdk's to work on it) I tried to uploading the files then install and cannot get some of the apks to install, like the GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk, GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk & GoogleServicesFramework.apk all others installed fine. With no luck on keeping the market from crashing boo! I am sure someone will be able to come up with something in due time, I hope.
Look at freaktab.com - Finless Bob has cooked a rooted rom with Google app,Super user and /system mounted r/w.
The download includes all neccessary instructions, files and utility - including driver - for Next7s. There is one clarification that I think will help... To get into the download / flash mode you need to hold down on volume rocker so that BOTH (volume up | down)switches are activated.
Thanks SO MUCH Moonpie! This has worked! With no problems and coming from me I always flub up something but the directions were very nicely typed out.
Try this blissb2599, only problem I am having is quiet a bit of apps are not compatible like my banking ... facebook, but I have an apk for facebook, old version but works lol...
Great to here reddtessa! Sorry to hear about apps not working. Maybe there will be some tweaks in future.

In case anybody else is having a hard time it's here: http://www.freaktab.com/showthread....Cream-Sandwich-Finless-ROM-1-2-Root-and-Gplay
Thanks for the link. I just picked up a 7s for my kid yesterday after the Next5 we got him originally quit working. I DLed the Play store APK and was like OMG-WTH every time it kicked us out. The Next5 came rooted (out of a sealed box) and had no issues with Google Play from a standard APK. If you guys have this working on the Next7s (YF031 serial) then I'll flash it.
One thing I find hysterical is on the box it states it is a Capacitive Screen, but my kid used his generic plastic stylus (intended for an older Nintendo DS) and it worked! I even tried a pencil eraser and it worked too. Does that make this a hybrid Capacitive/Resistive screen then?
****Update, I got clarification in the other thread on the two different versions of the rom. All is well, the tablet is now rooted, and is running Google Play on the Finless Rom. Very happy with how quick it was to do as well. Thanks again for the link!
Please help!

Free Remote Android Support App

Zikk is unique mobile to mobile remote support app.
So what's so special about Zikk?
It is designed for consumers and not for IT depatments and operators,
therefore it is extremely simple and user friendly.
It provides full privacy protection - no screen sharing, and no access to SMS, email, etc.
It doesn't require constant internet access, and doesn't prevent the recipient from using his
phone for other purposes during the process.
It supports all Android devices (2.2 and above).
In addition to remote support, Zikk contains a local settings menu which uses Zikk's simple
and friendly interface.
When people have a hard time setting up their smartphones, they ask help from their friends
and family - Zikk enables users to help each other.
APK attached. Also available on Google-Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zikk.alpha)
where you will also find a short and helpful demo video. You van also find the video on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsP9-Lpfwpk).
So both people need Zikk installed, I presume? Does the person you are helping get prompted to download it?

Correct. If the selected contact does not have the app, the user will be asked to allow sending
an automatic SMS with a link to the download page. There is also a share option where you can
send this message (via SMS, WhatsApp, Facebook, etc.) to one or more people.

The current version is designed for Android phones does not support WiFi-only tablets or
large screen tablets, however in a few weeks I will publish the tablet version, which will
include UI adjustments, tablet related features and a different registration process.
Sounds AMAZING! I'd really like to use this to help my friends and family. I live in India though
No worries, I'll wait
fantastic idea!!! this will surely take off!! kudos to the OP!!
how far this app will go ? I mean can I help someone from anywhere ?
What about phone types? What if my phone is a Nexus and the other device is a HTC?

I like the app a lot, but what make it one of the best is if I could move, install, & uninstall system apps, and a root file manager so that we can help rooted users also

Actually a version for rooted users is an interesting idea. Not sure how common "less tech savvy"
rooted users are though. If you have more ideas for features for rooted users I would love to hear them.
I actually have a friend who is just getting into root use who calls for advice when he needs it. Let's be honest we were all beginners once and maybe could have used a little hand. He moved recently so there is distance involved now. This looks like a great idea.
I would love to have access to the settings menus, root file explorer and perhaps apps he already has installed such as set CPU or apps of that nature.
Beginners in root use are just as confused by root abilities as beginners in android are of it's stock features at times.
It would be really great to be able to start a log cat app and have your friend do something that normally causes a crash for example if they are not advanced enough to run one themselves. A current issue I have on hand. Trying to explain how to run one and sending videos to watch.
Hope this keeps going :thumbup:

[Q] new apps on gear app store

Hi,
Recently, I start to receive very few new apps each and every day. Previously I was seeing several apps per day now 1-2.
I would like to make sure that it is not a specific problem to me.
For example, today only one app is added . It's name is Crystallite. Can anyone confirm ?
In addition to this, yesterday my app named "Ultimate Info Watch" was approved. But I still can't see it on store. Is there anyone here who is able to reach my app ?
Thanks.
I see crystallite and gear alarm. I don't see yours though.. Hope that helps
I just bought my gear 2 and I'am loving it, but Tizen will certainly have the same fait as Bada! Samsung kills t! It is not interesting for developers! We have just a few apps and a thousand of watches! We have just one custon rom!
Every day we see less and less apps on samsung store!It is sad!
I will keep my gear 2, but I think that in less than 2 year it wont even be able to concect to a phone anymore. Samsung will give up on Tizen and the future android plataforms wont provide support.
Tizen has so mutch potential... I think it is better than android wear, but his dead is certainly...
Probbly will buy a lg watch r and keep the gear 2

I don't see your app either. Maybe it takes 24hrs to get uploaded and the servers refreshed?
Did you get a link to your app in the approval email? Maybe you filled out something improperly. You did post a question in the general section of this forum.

they don't provide a link in the approval email. I'm sure I didn't fill out anything improperly. And yes, I posted this in the general section because it is some kind of "out of scope" discussion. Maybe I shouldn't have marked it as a question.
Probably you have the same problem as me. One of my apps was approved a few days ago. Standalone app for gear 2 and gear s. In the update I selected all possible devices, can't remember hie many, but somewhere between 60 and 100. App was approved without comment. I didn't see it anymore in the app store. In the seller store I can see that it is only available 8 (eight!) devices. This is clearly a Samsung error, because when a standalone app works on a gear 2, works on the gear 2 independent the related phone. I sent Samsung a message yesterday, now waiting if they are going to solve this.

Hi,
Recently, I start to receive very few new apps each and every day. Previously I was seeing several apps per day now 1-2.
I would like to make sure that it is not a specific problem to me.
For example, today only one app is added . It's name is Crystallite. Can anyone confirm ?
In addition to this, yesterday my app named "Ultimate Info Watch" was approved. But I still can't see it on store. Is there anyone here who is able to reach my app ?
Thanks.

I did see your app a couple of days ago. I didn't like it because of the font type and the black clock and font.
I like the dark themes, because AMOLED will use less battery then.

I see the app. I think its really good as well. Hopefully fonts are customizable amd background defaults to watch background.
Generally, I wish there was a way to try paid apps before buying them...

Yeah, i'm getting tired of having to pay for every single app.
Don't read me wrong, i want to pay for good apps. But most of the apps are real crap. But you find this out after paying.
For this app, i'm waiting for another watchface i really want. (Watcher). The upcoming update have hourly weather and appointments in one.

Probably you have the same problem as me. One of my apps was approved a few days ago. Standalone app for gear 2 and gear s. In the update I selected all possible devices, can't remember hie many, but somewhere between 60 and 100. App was approved without comment. I didn't see it anymore in the app store. In the seller store I can see that it is only available 8 (eight!) devices. This is clearly a Samsung error, because when a standalone app works on a gear 2, works on the gear 2 independent the related phone. I sent Samsung a message yesterday, now waiting if they are going to solve this.

Thanks for your reply. Actually on the registration process I did only select resolutions supported. There was not a place to select devices as far as I remember. Are you sure that there is a device selection as well ?
On which screen can I see which devices are selected for my app ?
I will also write to Samsung if I find similar issue. But first I must find the problem.
Thx.

Thanks for your feedback. I will create a version with better clock and font if you have any suggestions for the font face and/or clock. But I would like to keep the analog clock simple in this one, because the aim is to supply information. So, I am waiting for suggestions...

the app uses the default background you select in background settings. Actually, I made a demo version to make trial available. But the approval process takes too long. So, if you want to try before purchase, please wait a cople of weeks.
Thanks for the feedback any way.
@mrmrmrmr Check in the seller site your app, by clicking on the link "For Sale" of your app. Then go to binary and you see the device count. You can click on the symbol left to the count, then you can see the list of devices for which your app is available.
When updating you can select the binary tab and click the advanced button. You will then get access to the device selection options. Automatically all recommended devices should be selected. Let me know if all devices are available for your app or only a few. Samsung said to me that it was my error and that I had to submit the update again with the full selection of devices. But I'm sure that I did this, so I think they made an error during the certification process. I did a new update, selected all devices and have to wait for another week to see if it will be ok now. It is such a slow process with Samsung, I really prefer android apps on Google, much easier to change/update apps.

thanks. I see 43 devices there. My device is Galaxy S5 , but in the list of 43, I only see: Galaxy S5 광대역 LTE-A -
that is really weird.
Maybe we are all missing lots of apps for just that reason.
Try to do an update, check the list of recommended devices and see if you can select more than the current selection of 43. You don't have to change anything in the update, you can just leave the binary and description unchanged. You can change the device selection, country selection and fill in a certification comment explaining the content of the update and then submit. Good luck.

thanks. Now I selected 68 devices and resent to certification. But I forgot to tell them about the content of the update.
Now I will wait for at least one more week because of their error.
too bad...
Please report this to Samsung. In the seller site you have the possibility to ask questions or report issues. They should know that something goes wrong in their certification process. Thx.

I asked it as a question. But this seems to be a generic problem and I am afraid that most of us are missing lots of apps with similar problems. For example, I am using Galaxy S5 as a phone and maybe I am missing lots of available apps. And S5 is an important/commony used phone. Am I wrong ?
