Please unfollow this thread and visit the link above instead for latest updates.

Introducing CarMode, an alternative to Car Home. Basically what it does is it shows you huge buttons to important apps that you might use when driving a vehicle with less distraction than manually waking your phone, opening the app drawer, etc. Unlike Car Home, this app will give you more flexibility and more settings to poke around with (even better in future updates).

Looks best with MDPI devices (320x480 resolution, e.g. Droid Eris).

As of now, this app is currently in Alpha phase. What you see right now does not reflect how it will look like and work in the future. I'm working hard to make changes and add more features. Currently NOT in the Market but available on GetJar.com

Here are some apps/redirections that you can use with CarMode:

* Dialer

* Messages

* Call logs

* Shazam

* Navigation

* Voice Search

* Contacts

* Music

* Maps

* Display

* Settings

* Notes - opens a built-in note-taker with save and load features.

To-Do-List:

Where-did-I-park? feature

Be able to set apps to open by default, 3rd party apps (Dialer One, Handcent, etc)

Add more tools, options

Fix layout for HDPI devices

Auto-fill when hiding apps

Fix landscape layout

Choose own apps to launch

Changelog:

v3 October 10:

Changed theme

Removed button sets (temporary)

Added more buttons

Reworked layout

Added a persistent option to hide/show buttons

v2 October 5:

Changed app icon.

Added two button sets

Added several settings options

7 total buttons

v1 October 1:

First release

What else should I add? The less the better 'cause I don't want people to be distracted too much when driving! Please do suggest! If you're familiar with App Inventor and is good at it, may I ask some advice from you? :) Send me a PM. Thank you!

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] kkpsichologist:
Nice job. Works like a charm for me.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] xr4v3nx:
Whoa it worked?! Nice :D Thank you for testing it!

And yeah, I just need to fix the graphics and such @_@

For the Display, I directed it to the Display settings so you can put the screen on for whatever time limit you want before it goes off, useful if you're driving so you don't have to press the End call button to wake the phone xD
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] joshw0000:
Nice job. I don't use Shazam so I can't test that. Everthing worked fine except the dialer button. It FC every time I tried it. Maybe because mine is themed or because the rom I'm on has a different dialer than the one you created the app with.

Great work. Looking forward to seeing a custom icon.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] xr4v3nx:
Oh, the Dialer actually uses the "Dialer One" app. You can get it from the Market. I'm actually working on it. Fixing and stuff. I'll let you guys know for changes. I'll be posting a new version by the end of the day.

Thanks for trying it out!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] kkpsichologist:
V2

V2 works well for me again. One thing that I notice is that when I hide one of the icons they come back when I open the program back up. It would be nice if the settings would stick. Nice progress though
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] joshw0000:
I like the themes and the option to hide unwanted apps but a few things that I noticed:

Can you only display the disclaimer at initial open?

I get FC when navigating back from any given app.

Large file size.

Keep at it, it's coming along nicely.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] xr4v3nx:
Thank you for the feedback guys. I greatly appreciate it!

Yup, I noticed that too and I'm working on making settings persistent so that on the next app launch, it stays.

Good one, I'll try to find a way to hide the disclaimer and not be very intrusive.

The size is my problem too. Probably because of the themes. I'm thinking of making another package for themes but I don't know how to do that yet. I'll find ways to decrease the file size.

Again, thanks you two :) Your feedbacks will help me improve this app by A LOT! :p
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] joshw0000:
The file size really isn't that big a deal (apps2sd) but if you find a way to trim it, it would be nice.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] xr4v3nx:
Yeah, A2SD FTW :D

I'm somehow looking for a way to modify apps from App Inventor so I can publish them to the Market so updating would be easier.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] xr4v3nx:
New update tonight 10/09/2010

v3 is up! Please test it out? Thank you so much!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] mjb413:
screens look awesome. gonna try to dl and try tonight.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] kkpsichologist:
Well........That was a major improvement! I love the new interface. It is very quick and smooth. Keep up the good work. Its coming along wonderfully. Again major improvement over v.2!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] joshw0000:
Awesome app! Much more stable than the last version. I tried everything and couldn't get it to FC at all. I like the different tabs and the hidden disclaimer...and that it no longer has the stock icon. A few constructive suggestions for V4:

When apps are deselected in the settings, have the main screen autofill (it currently leaves a blank box).

Fix orientation for landscape so you don't have to scroll down to see the rest of the apps.

There was a blank app box (not sure if that's supposed to be there).

Is it possible to let the users select their own apps/settings for it to call on? This would eliminate the need to add a bunch of apps and have the user deselect unwanted ones.

This app has come a long way. Can't wait to try out the next version.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] joshw0000:
Oh and maybe add a car finder app/feature for when people reach their destinantion and forget where they parked?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] xr4v3nx:
Yes, please do :) Let me know of your suggestions.

Thank you for testing it out :D Have you found any problems?

-Autofill

-Landscape mode

-Fill in blank box xD That was just a filler cause I didn't know what to add there.

-Ability to select own apps

-Where-did-I-park? feature :D

Thank you for the suggestions, I'll try to find ways to add those. They're good ones too. My only problem is that the landscape and the choice to add own stuff would probably take a while. I have to find a way around App Inventor. It has a lot of limitations that's why I can't implement some other stuff.

But again, we'll see. I appreciate the output!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] sdjensen:
Hi,

Does this work with HTC desire? I tried to install it, but it closes down everytime I start phone oglor an app that has to do with contacts. Navigation is working fine

I tried to disable the empty button on page 2 and now I get an error when trying to open settings?

/sdjensen
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] xr4v3nx:
Yes, I made an error and based the actions/intent on Froyo ROM. I forgot that this differs with every ROM/version/phone.

If you could help me, if ever you have LauncherPro as home replacement app, could you go to your desktop, hold down screen and choose Shortcuts > Activities and look for the app that force closes and give me (if you don't mind), all the things that has starts with a com.* etc, etc under the Dialer for example. That way, I can fix it :)

[Captivate General] DanDem:
Hello,

I found working Skype (Beta).

Maybe somebody needs it.

Chat works just fine.

Calls: Hm if you try to make a call to Skype contact it will calls local number and connect you with

your contact.

Give it a try.
[Captivate General] daleaf:
That would be so cool if video chat worked!
[Captivate General] hmose:
OK, so how is this zip file loaded onto stock Captivate and then executed? Does it become a sideloaded app? Is it a Skype product? Discussed somewhere? Any info at all would be appreciated.
[Captivate General] DanDem:
In the zip file you'll find .apk file. Copy it to you phone and install it.

The only problem with it your phone should allow you to install not market application.

Yes it is a skype product as far as I know.
[Captivate General] xargs1:
It sounds like the Verizon Skype app which uses your minutes to call Skype contacts.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
And if anyone had searched the forums you would see a thread from 5 weeks ago, with the file already posted:

[Captivate General] RexEscape:
I've missed that post 5 weeks ago. I know, if I had bothered to search, I would have found it. But thanks to the OP for bringing this up. I've installed it and I will be using it for chat.

I came from WinMo 6.5 with Skype and it worked great with voice calls, chat and SMS feature (no video though). I used to send SMS internationally for only $0.10 when AT&T charges $0.25. Too bad. This new SkypeLite does not have SMS. At least I can chat. Thanks.
[Captivate General] Irfan37:
it seems like skype has actually come out with a real app for android phones!

...too bad the galaxy s isn't supported yet...

[Captivate General] nickbarbs:
FYI Galaxy S IS Supported if you are running 2.2 (Froyo.) Just did some 3g calls on my captivate froyo and it works awesome!!!
[Captivate General] RexEscape:
Why so big?

Wow. The Skype app (v1.0.538) on the Market is 8.56MB. Why so big? The APK file above (Skype Beta v1.0.5) is only 561KB. I have the beta installed. I don't use it for voice calls. Just chat. I wish they do outgoing SMS like they do in the WinMo 6.5 version.
[Captivate General] derek4484:
Does this new "official" skype work with the Captivate? The version in the market says Galaxy S handsets are not supported?

This is for version 1.0.0.538 (8.56MB)

Edit: Not sure what the deal is, I just installed Skype, it installed fine. Went to log into my skype account and as soon as I hit the login button, it gave me an error about not being able to log in. Not sure if this is because skype is overloaded or if its software error on the Captivate (Galaxy S).
[Captivate General] nickbarbs:
again let me be clear

SKYPE THEMSELVES Have said that skype WILL WORK RIGHT NOW On 2.2 Froyo Galaxy S devices. If your captivate is running froyo skype says that it will work fine on your galaxy S.

If your captivate is on 2.1 it wont load or will have problems.
[Captivate General] RexEscape:
The Skype (Beta) featured on the first post of this thread works with 2.1.

(But I just updated my Cap to Froyo anyway).
[Captivate General] alexnoalex:
I assume that you are not in US?

I tried it and it only worked over Wifi. I hate this corporate games....
[Captivate General] sh00tfire:
This new version of Skype only works over WIFI on your captivate. That is why you are getting the login error. Try again via wifi. Pretty lame if you ask me.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I tried over Wifi earlier on 2.1 - even airplane mode and wifi - browser works, skype still throws login error.

The official word from Skype is Galaxy S is not supported.
[Captivate General] kamce:
I was able to sign in when I first installed skype on Froyo. But after I rebooted the device later in the day, it does not let me sign in.
[Captivate General] RexEscape:
I'm having this same problem too. It says...

Can't sign in

We're sorry, but we couldn't

sign you in. Please try again

later.
[Captivate General] RexEscape:
I went back to Beta. On my Cap Froyo, calling out doesn't work via WiFi or 3G (of course). I only use it for Chat. I'm in no hurry to use Skype. 2 stars.
[Captivate General] ianwood:
Me too. What a pile of poo. The "Can't sign in" message returns so quickly that it has got to be a transport issue. Airplane mode with WiFi on doesn't make any difference.

If that still doesn't solve your problem, reboot into recovery and wipe dalvik then reboot. If even that doesn't fix it, completely wipe the phone + dalvik then reinstall the ROM. Last case scenario, run the official Sprint 2.1 RUU then re-root.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverballer95:
Does flashing a kernal require anything different then just selecting it and flashing in the boot menu? I've never done it and I don't wanna brick the ohone or something...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngholson:
before flashing anything, try and clear the data for the app... go to settings -> applications -> manage applications locate the dialer and clear the data.

if that doesn't get it try recovery mode and wipe.

if it still FC then try nandroid restore or flashing new rom / kernel

just my opinion. there are lots of people on here that know much more than i do, but if it were me this is the route that i would take.
[Fascinate Android Development] johnz1:
Stock 2.1 -> Rooted that with Ryan's OCLF

Did Lag Fix V1 cause V2 didn't work..

Everything ran..and ran... then that OTA update came while I was at school

It kept installing then restarting and looping itself...Finally I believe it installed and stopped asking me to reinstall.

My phone shows it has the Update, yet my phone isnt rooted anymore...Yet I still have the lag fix installed. I tried running the update.zip in recovery and it says signature failure. I try booting into clockwork to apply that update ROM that is posted and nothing happens. I hit boot into Recovery with ROM Manager and nothing happens.. I'm really confused..It's like I have partially rooted things like Lagfix on yet I'm not rooted and I cant root my phone :( ??

Anyone got an idea?

Thank you everyone.
[Fascinate Android Development] ivorycruncher:
Um, I think you're confused about what root really is. Being rooted just means that you have permissions (and the applications necessary) to modify protected areas of the OS. Even if you lost root access, the lag fix remains because the filesystem modifications to put it in place are already done. The extra commands it adds are run by the system itself during boot up, which of course has root access. It's not like an app that needs to request root access via Superuser every time it runs.

I'm not sure what has actually happened to your phone, but I would recommend rooting the old-fashioned way, via advanced commands, so that you don't have to deal with any recovery issues. If that doesn't work, you may have to flash back to factory stock and start over again.
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
Flash CMW recovery via Odin. Then do the following..

adb shell (you should have the # prompt, if not su)

cd /system/xbin (or /system/bin if your files are there)

chmod 4755 su

chmod 4755 busybox

all done.

Hopefully they are at least as good the ones from bestskinsever.com which I had on my Nexus.

Zagg doesn't even have full skin yet, and is a rip off anyway. Had zagg full skin on my G1, and their quality is not better than any of these other knock off skins. Just fancier packaging. I like that you could get replacements for the cost of shipping, but it's still cheaper to just buy multiple of these cheaper ones.

I'll post a review once I get it.
