Vibrant Home Dock "ported"

Well, not ported as they already mostly worked, just fixed a couple of hiccups. Nothing very clever going on here, but may be of interest to some folks.
As per request in another thread, I've fixed the Desktop Home app for the Samsung Vibrant so that the one thing that doesn't seem to work properly, the "Alarm" button, is now ok.
You can grab the APK from:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've also partially fixed the Vibrant Car Home app so that the icons are centered and the "Contacts" link works. The "Search" button doesn't seem to do anything and it seems to be hit & miss as to if you get a "Browser" icon or a "Voice Search" icon as pictured below. It may be a compatibility issue with the JME firmware I'm running, I'll have a play later. Anyway, you can grab the .APK from:

The app is incredibly no-frills, there's no other settings or options whatsoever other than what appears on the screen. I'd suggest using the Car Home v3 app from the market instead, although this one does look pretty.
The apps don't lock the screen on either so are probably not terribly useful without an actual dock.
If I can decipher the decompiled smali code some more, I'll replace the "Search" icon with a "Music" one. Changing the app an icon runs is easy, implementing it when it's not already doing something is less so.

Android Market 3.1.3

Well, Since I havent seen this here yet (Maybe I missed it) I thought I would share it with everyone.
Google has just started rolling out an update to the Android Market 3.1.3. Aside from a few slight aesthetic changes, the two main features include the ability to +1 apps and password protect (PIN lock) your Android purchases.
The addition of the +1 button allows you to, obviously, nab +1 apps in the Market while the PIN number feature allows you to securely set up a PIN number for purchases on the app store.

I have installed it and love it and works great and just thought I would share it with everyone that doesnt yet have it or want to wait for the automatic update (If our heros on custom roms will actually update automatically I don't know).
NOTE: Unless you are updating from v3.0 or higher you may need to uninstall the old market updates in order for this to install.
To do so, go to settings/applications/manage applications. Then tap on "all" scroll down to "Market". Tap on the app and select uninstall updates. Once you have done this then go ahead and install the app below.

Enjoy.

Wow, The more I mess around with this and update apps I really like the changes and it seems to be faster too. +1 for Google!

This version definitely seems much snappier! Thank you for sharing

Hello guys!
The Screen On application was a success and we thought it could be a great idea to expand the abilities of this application. We developed a new application called App Auto Settings, that works exactly as the Screen On application but let's you take control not only of the screen, but of WiFi, Bluetooth, Mobile Data, GPS and volume!
We have tested the app in as many devices as we could and it works fine, but please try it and report any bugs, suggestions or ideas, we cannot test it in all those mobile phones...
AppAutoSettings @ Android Market

Thx for share.
Not seeing option for GPS on SGSII.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Edit: 20/11/2011
So is this a beta limitation? or a limitation of GB where programs can not call for GPS on without user request like Tasker?

well, that's my bad...
at first, we wanted to take control of the GPS, but unfortunately for security reasons (good in my opinion), Google decided that only the user will be able to enable and disable the GPS, so we removed it from the application.
The screenshot though is old, and I will replace it!
Thank you for noticing it!

OK, I'm confused. No offense, but it is not very intuitive. I just downloaded it, and I cannot tell the difference between Red and Green on the Screen Timeout in the On Charge profile, and either way I set it, the screen timed out! Also, on WiFi and such, what's the difference between Red, Green and the white box? I also don't see my Navigation app.

good app

Tired of hanging up your calls when you didn't want to? What about making a conference? Hold mode? silence mode?
Well this is the app you need!!
What it does?
When you answer a call, or make a call, a semi transparent screen will appear preventing you from doing things that you didn't want to, but if the person who you are talking with ends the call the screen will disappear. You can close the screen if you want.
Download from Play Store!!
[Accepting requests]

Now you can select a picture from sdcard and select transparency for the block screen

Well someone ask me what's the difference between this one and the ones at play store.
First
Its free, I accept donations, but it will still be free.
Second
I will NEVER add adds. I HATE THEM!!
Third
I'm open to any request of any kind, so if you have any idea just say it and we will see what I can do.
Well I think that's all.

New edition including a beta option. Please report if there's any error.
Thanks

Can anyone confirm that the screen appears completely transparent some times? if you do, could you tell me exactly what you did to make it happen? Need to fix this.
Thanks

Question Checking Notifications on Xperia 5III

I just got an Xperia 5III and my 5II is in a drawer. I was surprised at how different the operating system was on my new 5III compared to my 5II. There is one change that is negative. With the 5II if I was in an app and got a notification I could pull it down and read it.. With the 5III I can't. I have to return to the Home Page to pull down the notification. Is this just the way it is or did I screw a setting in my installation?
Other than that, I'm enjoying the 5III.

I actually haven't encountered this issue, so I'd suggest to search for a solution in settings menu

Oh, golly, why didn't I think of that? I've looked at everything in settings, even settings that shouldn't be remotely related. That's why I thought I would ask here.

Could you share screenshot(s) of your issue and of what you used to see it in 5II for the same? It's a lil hard to imagine based on this. Additionally, it could also be how Android 12 is setup vs. Android 10/11 in 5II.
If we can indeed see what you are facing, maybe that will help us try to find a solution for it.

I hate this. I'm a constant fiddler and this morning I fiddled with some settings in Google Messages. I was in shower when my reminder, from Google Calendar, came up. I waited till I got out of the shower, went to Google Photos on my 5 III, swiped down, and it worked. I went to my Oxford Dictionary and it worked, too. So, the problem that was irritating me is gone. AND I DON"T KNOW WHY!
