Confirmed. Use it every day!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] TECK:
Awesome! Can you tell me the feature you like most while driving? Can't wait to test it with a mount.

I updated the screenshots to show the shortcut created by apk...

I like that it starts the Google Music app, if you click on Music shortcut.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sileshnair:
Here is a flashable zip. Flash in cwm. Will install apps to system folder.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] TECK:
Thanks for the new files. I really hate that I cannot get the app from the Market, so we get proper updates... Probably Samsung did not wanted the app because they went the VLingo way ("Hi Galaxy") and Google banned the app for all related models.

How I got the app working on my phone:

I Googled forever until I found a compatible cardock launcher file with 2.2.1.4, which for some reason everyone had it named CarHomeLauncher.apk instead of com.android.cardock-8-2.2.apk. Then, I exported both apps with the proper name and version assigned to each file. :)

Edit: I just found a Google signed package and link it to the first post. I flash it and everything works great.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] connectsys:
awesome, thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] s2dh:
Superb, loving it...

only question -

do you know if it is possible to add a direct dial for a contact?

I can add a contact, but when I press on that added contact I get the contact's options (message/call/email etc...)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] TECK:
Personally I use Voice Search option in Car Home. If I want to call Alex, I just say "Alex" and it will pop the contact. If anyone has other tricks, please share them. :)

Edit: Whoaa, I just tried the Voice Search feature: "call Alex mobile", it worked!

Works well with specific songs I want to listen to. I said "listen to Thriller":

This is a great app... I'm playing with the other Voice Search options as we speak.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xak944:
Thanks!

Installed and working perfectly on Epic 4G Touch (SGX2). Thank very much! :D

So lame that they block us from installing it from the Market. I wonder if it's because of the car-centric crapware that gets bundled on our phone... :confused:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] uridium_uk:
Yuck nasty suction mount.

Look up a Brodit Active cradle for the GS2. use inconjunction with the specific pro-clip designed for your car.

You'll never look at another brand of car mount again.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ReeX:
I own a Nokia CK-300 car kit, it connects through the car speakers, mute's them on phone call, connects through bluetooth and streams music through a2dp perfectly. Has a small microphone usually placed close to the driver's head. Also has a small remote control, useless with this phone (voice commands!!)

Will this app work with this car kit? I wonder if Google Car Home will accept commands through BT connection......
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xak944:
I don't think Google Car Home is what you think it is. All it is is essentially just a launcher with big icons which are easy to see while driving. It also allows auto-launching when it detects connection to any bluetooth device.

Any voice-activated programs are a totally separate thing.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ReeX:
I mean, will Google Car Home accept voice commands passing through BT connection?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xak944:
Google Car Home has

nothing

to do with voice commands!

If you are talking about Google Voice Search, then no, I haven't found a way to get this to work through a bluetooth microphone. Would be cool, though. In any case, this is off topic and is probably discussed elsewhere.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xak944:
That is simply a button which launches this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.voicesearch
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ReeX:
Ok, it could have been a process controlled by Google Car Home....

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] JimSmith94:
I've been using this since it was originally posted and it works well. However, it always starts in night mode. If I change it to automatic, it still starts in night mode the next time. Has anyone found a setting or a config file to make it start in automatic mode?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Namoi:
Same annoying bug on SGS2.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] howgie:
Thanks a lot for the package.

I installed the signed google package on my SGS 2 and it works only one or two times. After that it starts the car mode but does not start the dock app anymore. It just switches back to my home screen after showing me the left/right arrows of the app for a second. Did anyone encountered the same problem?

If I uninstall it via Titanium Backup and reinstall the package via CWM Recovery it works again but stops as described above.

Cheers

-howgie
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xak944:
The only way I have been able to install this package is by forcing the files into /system/app/. I assume flashing the .zip in a recovery would do the same thing, but since my phone (E4GT) currently doesn't have a working recovery on CM9, that's not an option for me.

If you're versed in adb/shell, you can try using the following commands which worked for me (the same can probably be accomplished with apps like Root Explorer but I have not tested that):

# gain root adb access
adb root

# mount /system read-write
adb remount

# push the car home files to /system/app
adb push com.android.cardock-8-2.2.apk /system/app/
adb push com.google.android.carhome-18-2.2.1.4.apk /system/app/

# set permissions
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/com.android.cardock-8-2.2.apk /system/app/com.google.android.carhome-18-2.2.1.4.apk

Now, can anyone tell me why the heck Google decided to make this app so annoying? Why does it need to be marked as "incompatible" with any phones? It's just a super-simple application launcher. :confused:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] j3lordo:
Hi,

I'm on this ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1492461

and got the Car Home APKs from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1081009

Loving it, but: whenever I install a new version of the ROM I have to reinstall the Car Home APK into /system/app because it is not included in the ROM. With this I lose all my assigned shortcuts. Do you know any way to prevent this from happening?

Thanks for your answers!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lbohn:
Which method do you use for installing updates for CM9?

If you flash ROMs in CWM, just stay in CWM after flashing the ROM and flash the signed Car Home ZIP linked in the OP. All your settings will remain after the flash. The key is not to leave CWM after flashing the ROM. FWIW I'm on CM9 and this is the method I use. I haven't had any problems with settings persisting from update to update.

If you are using ADB to push the ROM and the APKs, I expect you should be able to do the same thing. Again the key is to "re-install" Car Home immediately following the ROM, but BEFORE you reboot your phone.

--L.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] j3lordo:
Thanks for the advice - I'll definitely give it a try on the next ROM update! I used to install the ROMs with CWM and then (after rebooting) push the APKs to /system/app via adb.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xak944:
You can also back up the app data with Titanium Backup, then restore. Also, as lbohn said, flashing the Car Home .zip in CWM before rebooting after a ROM update also works as long as you don't wipe /data as well.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] phuzznut:
Hey thanks for this!

I can verify that it works on my stock rooted Galaxy S3 (t-mobile) running ICS 4.04 like a charm.
[Droid X General] choppin:
I have a droid x flashed to metropcs. If i change the rom will it remove the flash on my phone?
[Droid X General] choppin:
Help please!!!!
[Droid X General] roberte1342:
I do believe so. I was looking into flashing one of my X's to Cricket and it seems that a custom startup script needs to be setup to make it reflash on every boot as it is lost on power off.

I would hold off until someone more savvy to this responds.

But if I were to guess, you would lose it.

[Droid X General] bigshotrob22:
No it will not unless you sbf or use an AIO. I am on cricket network and I flash custom roms all day. The only thing I have to do is setup internet and Mms. If your not familiar with setting anything up after a flash I wouldn't flash a new rom until you find out more about it. I believe metro doesn't use proxy so all you would have to do is flash a rom and use endokis mms fix found in the Eris forums. Sorry I can't help u out any further tho. Good luck....

Does anyone know of any way you can use the webtop adapter on a laptop? I plug it in via HDMI and nothing happens. can you only use this on a tv/monitor?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] quentin0:
Yep.

Your laptop only has an HDMI out.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] neckbonest:
webtop adapter

what exacly is the webtop adapeter
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jpen:
how do you use it if you hook it up to a tv without a keyboard or mouse? is there any way to navigate through or do you need a keyboard and mouse? I saw a video with the atrix had a hack to hook it up and it turned the phone into a mouse and such....wondering if that happens at all or not
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tmc896:
at the vzw store the adapter has 2 more usb ports on it and the rep was saying you could use those ports to put the wireless adapters in to make a keyboard and mouse work. not sure if it works i just overheard the convo between him and a customer.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Banggugyangu:
I think a better question is this:

Where did you find a laptop with an HDMI INPUT?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] barry99705:
He didn't. He plugged his phone's hdmi cable into his laptop's hdmi port. It's the same port on either end.

If you plug it into the tv without the hack to enable webtop, without the webtop adapter, you get a "remote" screen on phone, which runs the media player. If the webtop adapter does what I think it will do, it will make the phone's screen work like the touchpad on your laptop, and give you a button to bring up the keyboard, which is what the Atrix does with the webtop hack. You can also tether a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to the phone.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jpen:
Thats what I was hoping to hear....I want to buy the adapter but I'm afraid someone will come out with the hack as soon as i do.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Brenardo:


I have a Lenovo with an HDMI port.

Any finding anything interesting about the adapter. VZW rep gave me one at a discount for a problem with my bill.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cbal04:
With the ammount of money ans headaches you would spend to do be able to do that, you're probably better off just trying to find the docking station for the bionic and selling your laptop.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] BlaineBlaine:
Has anyone cracked open a Webtop adapter yet to actually see what is inside?

Considering there is that cardock hack which was pretty much just drilling a hole and adding a micro-HDMI cable, the only thing triggering Webtop vs. mirroring mode might be a magnet.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Jstylen:
I would love to find that out to be true. A four dollar cable from ebay is a lot better than the 30$? they charge for the adapter....

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otester:
Both standard and HD versions are available on "unofficial" sites if you do a Google search for the APK file, however I wish to purchase an official copy, to show support and because at the moment, non-official APKs can be injected with viruses etc. even if the permissions requested seem normal.

I have recently put clockword mod on my G2x by using NVFlash. I have been able to install a couple things from the clockwork mod recovery screen like roms and some boot animations. There are some things that it wont let me install though

It tells me "Installation Aborted" when the download from zip doesnt work.

My question is anyone knows how to fix this specifically on the G2x??

Phone is rooted, has latest clockwork mod, running CM7 (cyanogen mod 7), superuser is working, and everything else works fine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
What error are you getting? "status 0" or "status 7". Some of us having been trying to create update zips for this device and we keep getting the "status 0" error and have no idea what it means. The updater-scripts look good.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] herveyonofre:
Yeah I get "(error 0)" what's that supposed to mean? I tried maybe changing permissions using root explorer but that didn't work either.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Paul Nur:
I was getting installation aborted when I was using my girlfriends mac because it automatically un zipped any zipped file you downloaded. Re zipping it on the mac made it incompatible for some reason.

If you are using a mac disable it, if not, then jboxer said it all.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Could be that. I'm wondering if the zip he's trying to flash is even a flashable zip. I've never tried flashing one that wasn't meant to be flashed so I don't know what happens when you do, but I imagine it'd throw out some kinda error.

Just for you newer guys who r trying all the roms and leaks. I have tried all the leaks and numerous roms but one that I always go back to is syndicate frozen 1.1.1. I will eventually go to gingerbread for sure but right now this rom is the best hands down. There is a 1.2 version but it doesn't read the network as sprint. But 1.1.1 has a fix.zip for that.

It has no lag and I get quardrant scores of 2100 with NO overclocking I can get 2900 overclocked. Everything works and it is COMPLETLY stable. Only downfall is when first Booted it takes longer to media scan than the the GB roms but that's all the bad I can say. Hope this helps

[Windows Phone 7 General] downloaderintruder:
Yes, what happened to Skype on Mango? And also, what happened to Google+ on WP7?
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
People use google +?

I don't think Skype will be in at launch, but maybe something that will be either added via app or next release?

But new Mango phones I believe will get Tango, an already popular cross-platform video calling app.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Marvin_S:
they said skype APP will be released this fall. So far no announcements have been made :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
Lol, some of these questions are phrased as though Mango is even released yet. Only a small percentage of users have Mango, and the majority of that percentage are on here... We aren't supposed to have it yet. It was announced, and I suspect when Mango does go live, we'll see more official announcements, especially from launch partners... 4Sq, Twitter, FB, etc.

What I'm most curious about is what they're going to do about the "check-in" feature in WinPhone considering that FB Places is going away. I hope it changes to a 4Sq system.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jallenashley:
Doesn't the check-in feature use Bing and not FB places? I wouldn't mind having 4sq implemented into the Me tile, however.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
I've never used it, but I always thought it was Facebook places
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
It is Facebook places. And it's not gonna be replaced by anything else. I don't remember the articles about it completely, but what I actually do recall is, that Facebook is not gonna abandon the places feature. They're just changing something about it. Whatsoever they change, it doesn't have any impact on the check-in functionality of Windows Phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
They aren't "abandoning" FB Places, but they are replacing it with a new "Nearby" feature. And it sounds like it may not have a "check-in" capability that works the same way that Places does. So I think there may be some fallout for WP7 check-in.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
According to the facebook guys, this won't happen. But honestly, who cares? I know just a handful of people who actually use this feature. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] HTC DAP:
skype isnt available for mango yet, but other cool mango apps are.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Then maybe they need to get their stories straight ;). The details I posted were taken from a TechCrunch article, which was based on a briefing they had with one of the "product leads" at FB.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jallenashley:
It is FB places. Sorry guys... I just saw the WP logo and assumed it was a Bing check-in.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
Back to the original point though, this would be much more useful as a Foursquare check in lol
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
I honestly wish I could remember where exactly I read about it. I think it was WPCentral. Not too sure though, sorry. :/

@FiyaFleye

Wasn't the original point about Skype? ;) But I share your thoughts. Having a native Foursquare check-in would be truly nice.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Yeah, I think a few of us kind of derailed the thread a bit :), but I agree. Integrated Foursquare support would be very cool. That is one app that I use multiple times every day.

Oh, and back on topic. we know that Skype is coming very soon. Initially it will be in app form (very likely before the end of the year), but eventually it will be integrated.
[Windows Phone 7 General] boysie:
