Hello,
is it possible, that anyone of us can modify the samsung car mode app, so we can full mirroring the phone on our car screens? In normal state the recent task and back button while using the app is deactivated...

As for me, the best car app for today is Car Home Ultra. It is customizable a lot and it shows more usable information on main screen.
But at the same time, I face the problem of finding "right" shortcuts.
For example, if I'm using shortcut for Phone, it always works in portrait mode. I can't get it in landscape
Does anyone knows how to get shortcuts for Phone (or Dialer) which are used in original HTC Car panel? Phone app in Car panel does rotate (Favorites, Recent Calls, Dialer)!!! see pics.

You would need a Desire Z dialer apk that has the ability to rotate. Problem is.. the Desire is the wrong resolution. You might want to search around a bit and see if anybody ported a rotating dialer to the Sensation...
I am not sure dialer from other phones are needed, because, as you can see on pictures, Sensation has already rotating dialer, at least from it's original Car panel.
I want to find shortcuts to these apps.
Ok. Perhaps right question is - how to get Phone mode (dialer) to landscape view?
Thanks to "topcattroy" from other forum for workaround on Car Home ultra.

" ... Inside this app's options it has a check box to turn on car home
which came with the phone. It acts like you put it into a car dock from verizon.
And guess what the dialer is now landscape. So when you use this app
when your driving you can put a shortcuts on the app to call or open the phone.
It is in LANDSCAPE. It took me since the phone came out till today to find this
to work. Hope this helps anybody with a thunderbolt. and i bet other androids too."
I am thinking about the same question after tried out several car home dock applications myself. How to get the dailing panel landscape? If you observe carefully most roms do not go to landscape mode of the sense home or dialer if you put your phone on the side. It seems the landscape mode of sense home is supported deep in the framework in the Gingerbread. Most devs, perhaps the htc soft-engineers too make the landscape mode off in the normal situation in order to prevent any complications. Only the devs can figure out how to trigure the landscape mode. Hope an expert finally can focus on thier eyes on this issue and make a application shortcut.
At the same time, native CarPanel allows dial mode go to landscape mode. Even 3rd part dialers works in landscape (but I like sense ).
Also for Windows phones there were quite easy to make "white list" in registry for apps to allow them to rotate.
I am not sure, but perhaps I have to ask this question in devs discussions.
I eventually got the dialer into landscape mode after a few tries. I am using a rooted leedroid ROM but its should be pretty much the same for standard ROM.
I had to remove all of the HTC Locations apps and widgets, as these are all system apps I used Android Optimizer for doing this. This also allowed me use the Google Car Home app which is installed but not accessible with HTC Locations installed.
To put the phone into Car Mode I use the Tasker app to set the Display Car Mode on but the Car Home Ultra app also has an option to do this.
With this done I can use the standard dialer in landscape and as I prefer to use Google Navigation app anyway then I dont have the HTC Locations installed at all and havent tried reinstalling in case it tries to take over again.
... and yes as a wee word of advise, backup everything before you start and then backup each item before you hit the remove button!
Hello,
I am interested in keeping the android UI layout in portrait mode when it is connected to hdmi. Was wondering if this can be workedaround by a change to ini, boot or system file.
I currently have SGS2 and an Xperia S, I have HDMI working however the behavior is it shows in portrait for a second THEN the orientation switches to landscape, regardless of the phone's physical orientation. Seems like Android is programmed to go into this orientation when hdmi is connected, but it's not very useful to me...I'd rather it just stay in portrait , or better just follow the darn phone's physical orientation.
The phones should be capable of portrait output as it is shown like that for a second or two before the switch takes place, but how to keep it in portrait/disable it from going into landscape?
Hoping someone that has more programming skill than me-average Joe to find out where, how to do this.
Thanks in advance.

There's an app called rotation locker in this forum and I think on google play. Requires root though
Sent from my MT15i using xda premium
Tried that app, it didn't work.
The experience seems like some sort of status checking + switching of layout only when HDMI is connected.
I've observed this on stock Androids, if i'm using custom rom on my SGS2, this doesn't happen, so keeping the orientation in portrait CAN happen, just depends on the ROM, so it must be an action tied to HDMI connection being active.
Any more ideas?
You'r phone should have a place in the settings to keep it in portrait mode.
Try this: Settings>Display>Un-check "Auto-Rotate Screen"
Hope this helped
It is already unchecked, that's the first thing I checked naturally.
Anyone that has exp hacking or dived into system files with ideas?
My LG Optimus 3D did not have this problem. It did follow exact orientation of the phone. I see that your SGS2 is HDMI via MHL and an Xperia S is HDMI type-D same as mine.
I had tried the MHL adapter on a Galaxy Nexus and it was the same behavior as Xperia s, the device switched into landscape and can not be rotated the other way so the MHL vs Hdmi out is not the difference here. Good thinking tho.
Anyone else?....
How do you turn in car mode or driving mode on the Verizon Note 5? I can't find any info on this. I can use the iBolt Dock Mode app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iboltdockmode.carhome but I just want to turn on the car mode and not launch an app, just turn on car mode.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Per Samsung customer support and Verizon tech support, there is no car/dock mode on the Note 5. I just wanted it to play when connected to my dock cable (one cable both power and audio with a splitter built in). To me that's just dumb, but I guess Samsung knows best........
You can add car mode from the Galaxy Essentials link on the Galaxy Apps widget.

That is an app that gives you a car dashboard and puts the phone in car mode. I want to use car mode with a different app.

Probably triggered using a magnet. I don't know about the Note 5, but on other phones I had usually with car window adapters there was a magnet in the accessory that triggered car mode once the phone was put in the car holder.
There may be a way to manually trigger the mode using some other third party app also, but TouchWiz is pretty different than stock android so it may be incompatible.
EDIT: If you mean an entirely new "car mode" then simply search the playstore for alternative "car mode" apps that basically just provide a limited/car mode type interface. You may have to manually trigger the app though, since it wouldn't be the official car mode.
Hi. Can anyone point me in the right direction.
I'm looking for a way to emulate a single touch with an earphone button to be able to select and re-center in the youtube app
while in cardboard mode. I have a VR headset but
it lacks any way to give a signal to the phone without
removing it from the headset. I think the easiest way to
accomplish it is using the media button on my earphones
but for some reason the phone stops receiving any input
from them as soon as I start the Cardboard view. I've been
able to emulate touch outside of the app with Vol- but no
luck once the app is put into said mode.
Phone: Samsung Galaxy Note 4 - Rooted
F/W: Android 5.0.1 stock
Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post just wanted to
give a reasonably detailed post of the issue.
Hello,
I know it's a very specific problem but maybe other users here have experienced the same and could help me.
I have 2 Samsung wireless speakers, R6 and R7. We handle them with the Samsung Wireless Multi-room app and it works fine with my Samsung Galaxy Tab S.
But with my S8+, the music automatically stops/pauses after 5-6 minutes, when the screen is off.
I tried to:
- Turn off completely the Power Saving mode
- Add the app in the exception of the Power Saving mode
- I tried in Air plane mode
- I tried to disable all notifications thinking that it's when a new notification arrives that the music stops
Nothing works...
I know that there is a known Wifi problem, do you think it could be related?
Thanks in advance,
Ced
A quick message just to tell that the problem seems to be fixed since the latest update of the "Samsung Wireless Multi-room" app.
