Hi,

Google dropped support for it's AOSP Car Home Launcher back in 2011 and briefly broke Car Mode entirely in between Android 4.2 and 4.3 but it's still alive and kicking under the hood in Android 6+

Car Mode on a 6+ device with no additional apps installed does nothing except make your home button briefly launch a Play Services Android Auto stub. But Android Auto isn't the only choice....here are a few from the play store that are good and give you access to key functions you are likely to want whilst driving via various combinations of giant shortcuts, custom media widgets, gestures control, voice activated functions and auto reading of messages etc.

Most can utilise car mode to temporarily replace your regular launcher whilst driving using connection to a car bluetooth as a trigger or can be launched via Tasker, MacroDroid or a similar automation app.

AutoMate - just out of beta and with a very Android Auto like material UI. Free version is feature limited.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitspice.automate

CarHome Ultra - being around for donkeys years but still in active development - uses the same basic style of big shortcuts as Google's old Car Home launcher but is quite polished and nicely themeable. Probably my favourite so far in limited testing. 30 day trial with the free version.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=spinninghead.carhome

Ultimate Car Dock - a newer take on the Car home concept and voice activation focussed. Doesn't work that well in practise in my limited testing. 7 day trail with the free version.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appsontoast.ultimatecardock

CarDashDroid - looks like another good one building on the Care Home concept. Not yet tested.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nezdroid.cardashdroid

DriveMode - a completely different take on a driving UI focusing on Navigation with transparent overlays for calls, music etc. Very gesture driven. Not really tested this one.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.drivemode.android

There are lots of others....any favourites or recommendations?

I'm more interested in this project. http://xdaforums.com/general/paid-software/android-4-1-headunit-android-auto-t3125252

Bringing real android auto to my car. It works great with USB host mode, I have an old S4 that I plug my N5 in and it works fine.

Hopefully self mode will become more stable, as I can't even get it to work at this time. Then I wont need the old S4 at all.

[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] degarb:
6.0 car mode is very annoying. Randomly activated. Doesn't launch play stub, just breaks the home key. . If it's activating in your pocket and breaks home key, what's the point? . Moreover, a freaking phone should never ever be pressed or glanced at when driving or at a job. . Design the phone for the blind and get a device that doesn't kill and waste people's day using.

You mean it's dead, completely? I thought having a download mode and seeing my G3 on my pc with a COM# port is better than seeing some QHBULK_9008 device or similar, where I need to open my G3, connect pins and some sh*t to recover it.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpaceRaider:
Mabye that's because of your IMEI error

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justyourimage:
Also don't forget: Maybe its because of your OS or even Setup (Hardware/Driver related). Even if it works seemingly at first glance.

That's my experience with all flashing tools that on some machines and setups there will happen some funny stuff and corrupt systems even if its reported to be working initially.

So if you didn't try yet use another PC/Laptop preferably with Windows 7 to 8.0 (only if you disabled driver signatures)

Edit: Also try different USB-Cables.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reepje123:
I couldn't find another dll. Where have you got that from? Is it safe to use?

I already tried 2 PCs, one with 8.1 and another one with 7 (and 10). Both are giving almost the same result. Except the .kdz flash tool crashes on 8.1 at 99%.

I'm using the original USB cable.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samuelkaiser01:
Hello there!

I wanted to root my phone via CF-Auto-Root, but I chose the wrong file (for kltedx instead of kltexx). Now my phone wants to boot into recovery mode (even if I'm trying to boot into download mode). It will now stay in the state saying "Recovery booting...." and nothing will change. When I press Power + Vol-, the same thing will happen because the phone obviously needs to boot into recovery mode. Pressing nothing also forces it to boot to recovery mode.

How can I exit from that state? I really have no idea what to do.

Thank you.

EDIT: I forgot to press the HOME key. I am sorry. That's embarassing, I know. No need to help any more.

Currently trying to find devs to help me out with this, I have a bit of an Idea of what I'm doing but need help with making sure I've got the right build flags and toolchains to make a bootable aosp rom for this device.

What about custom recovery? Do you have TWRP or CWM for our phone?

Also... How are some people unlocking there bootloaders with the Asus unlock tool, mine won't unlock. I've had 2 of these phones, both the same. No unlock.
[ZenFone 2 General] cmendonc2:
I think it might be because technically the ZF2e and the ZE500CL are not the same phone. I mean they have the same processor, screen, and body, but the ZF2e is locked to AT&T, which might be blocking the bootloader unlock.
[ZenFone 2 General] AlexBodewig:
It could also be a lack of space on the internal storage but it's more likely that it won't unlock because of the serial number indicating that it is a zf2e and not the ze500cl.

Porting, flashing won't help. Need to compile CM ROM from source. Do you have the device and vendor tree of our phone? Kernel source is already there , need device and vendor tree to get started porting cm.
[ZenFone 2 General] robot_head:
I do not, and with my locked bootloader (att) i can't flash another kernel. So any rom i flash has to be based off stock, or so heavily modded it looks like cm. ??

[ZenFone 2 General] djole94hns:
I don't, I just found a working TWRP on 4pda.ru. It works perfectly for me. By the way, if you have ZenFone 2E (AT&T), there is no method of unlocking the bootloader yet.
[ZenFone 2 General] jrior001:
I saw that so I definitely didn't the the 2e. If I can get boot.IMG compiling and extracting I'll get rolling on CMify'n this thing. From the zf5 stuff and my work on the zf2 Z00A/8 models we should be able to have this up quickly.

[ZenFone 2 General] djole94hns:
Yup, V12.16.5.112 and above, V12.16.5.118 recommended.

By the way, use the unlock tool from the official ASUS website:

[ZenFone 2 General] jrior001:
The Kernel source provided by Asus is incomplete and does not contain a proper defconfig to build the kernel. I've been trying to piece one together while I wait on a response from Asus on their useless kernel source. Without workign kernel source though nothing is going to happen here.

They did indeed update it, and add a few make files for kernel(which I already had from other Intel kernels) but did not update one line of the actual kernel source. Quite frustrated with this and may likely just re-sell this Z00D device.
[ZenFone 2 General] h4r888:
Yea man, I agree with you.
[ZenFone 2 General] cidlover:
Shame, just means the Z00D is stuck with official 118 5.0.1 firmware and no one to develop a custom Rom for our phones, oh well. Just guess we'll have to make do with stock, root and xposed framework.

[ZenFone 2 General] AlexBodewig:
That just means that we have to strip down the stock rom and fill it full of aosp stuff.

You could do that but it'll still be ASUS stock to me, I really thought pac Rom or cyanogenmod or some custom Rom existed when I got my ZenFone 2e.

It would be a customized stock rom. I also had a thought that maybe we could borrow an updater script or parts of scripts from other intel devices.

There is no hope to have a cyanogenmod ?

No, not unless ASUS *acutally* fixes their kernel source.

Now that there is proper kernel source I can actually build, I went ahead and submitted trees/kernel to TWRP for official inclusion. I've also added a current TWRP build to my Recovery thread HERE.

[ZenFone 2 General] geeve420:
You are awesome!!!!

Thank you so much! I like this little cheap phone, but lack of storage and locked bootloader was crushing my dreams lol....

I imagine CM will run alot smoother on this budget phone, and I can't wait to try it. Thank you so much again and hopefully this will help us get some of that system reserved space back :)
[ZenFone 2 General] robot_head:
Att 2e won't be able to flash cm unless it can run off of stock kernel. Locked bootloader makes this impossible, you will get bootloop into stock recovery

[ZenFone 2 General] geeve420:
So we still don't have an unlocked bootloader for Z00D (att 2e)? Is all this kernel source and TWRP useless to us then?

I am really confused....
[ZenFone 2 General] robot_head:
Att 2e is unlockable,

Asus z00d CAN be unlocked. Just because we put stock asus firmware on our 2e phones, att still locks down the bootloader.

Att z00d and ze500cl are two different devices but almost identical, att device has smaller storage and ram. But other specs are the same
[ZenFone 2 General] jrior001:
There's 2 Z00D models. The original international zenfone 2 ze500cl and later the zenfone 2e att exclusive.

The att version is locked up tight, nothing I can do to help there. The other is unlockable.
[ZenFone 2 General] robot_head:
There is a twrp recovery for this device, the russian one, with punisher on the splash screen but if your b/l is still locked, what does it matter, you still have to carry your computer around just to flash anything. Safestrap would be an awesome alternative
