Car Home app on Desire - Desire General

Is this possible? There are some alternatives on the Marketplace but none seem as sleek as the official Car Home app for the Nexus One.
Help appreciated!

HTC Desire / Nexus One News Widget

Hi all,
Is it possible to get the STOCK NEXUS ONE News Widget onto the HTC desire.
I had a Nexus 1 originally, and its much better and less buggy. Traded it in for a HTC desire, and that app/widget is the only thing I miss!
Any idea?
maybe this will help

Irony - linking to a droidforums page that links back to XDA.
If that one doesn't work, qwerty, let me know. I have a known good one (using it now) that I can attach.
thanks for that guys - working perfectly!

will this work on an HTC Desire with Sense? Or do we need to root? All the correspondence so far suggests Sense and Bluetooth keyboards incompatible

[Q] Need NewsFeed App

Hi,
I'm searching for a userfriendly (touchfriendly) and functionable app to read newsfeeds on my X1. Has anyone found a suitable app? The HTC Touch HD had a simple but working app to to this, maybe anyone has ported it to the X1 or even a similiar?!

Try yomomedia which is freeware or spb reader (commercial).
Thanks, I'll try yomomedia, because it seems to be a nice app. But for all others feel free to post more apps, so I can choose the best one.
I tried yomomedia, but it took really long to load on my XPERIA. But is quite a cool app. Does anyone knows another good and free app to read RSS-Feeds.
A working port of RSS-Hub from HTC would be nice, is there any?

Looking for a pack of OEM Rhodium notification tones?

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could rip all the ringtones from their rhodium and up them here? One thing I've come to not like is the android ringtones.. if someone could do this id really appreciate it, I can't find any of them anywhere. Mostly im interested in the notifications especially the atmosphere one and a few others.

[Q] Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse

Hi,
Has anyone used a bluetooth keyboard/mouse with the SGS2?
If so, what was your experience and which devices did you use?
It would be nice to have a list of devices that are AVAILABLE and play nice with the SGS2 so we don't all end up buying 5 keyboards trying to find a decent one.
This is obviously a precursor to the MHL cable dropping and being able to navigate the device over MHL Mirroring.
Cheers!
Check the end of my video here, BT keyboard and mouse working fine:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giJXF5pIITc
The keyboard I'm using is the iGo Stowaway Ultraslim Keyboard, sadly not made any more. Nearly any BT HID Profile device should work with the SGSII.
For starters I would guess that all the ones in this -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=799079&highlight=bluetooth+keyboard+mouse
- thread for the SGSI will work fine.
Ah cool cheers, i do remember you saying that your keyboard was no longer available sadly.
I was thinking something like this would be great to just kick back and use as a media controller....

I'll take a look through that thread, thanks for that.

anyone can check if it work? or advise similar mini keyboards which would work on our device..
I have the same question... did a bit of research and found the following:
Foldable freecom model, 54 quids. Reviews indicate it's decent, has a little tray to hold the phone but it's also 'cheaply built':
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Freedom-BTF...1_6?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1306668294&sr=1-6
The official Apple wireless keyboard. Great build, but not foldable. 50 quids
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-MC184B-A-Wireless-Keyboard/dp/B002TUSWU4/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
A clone of the above, 22 quids.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bluetooth-W...1_3?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1306669505&sr=1-3
I'm not seeing any 'great' options here... can someone suggest anything else?
I have this keyboard:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Freedom-Pro...IWJ6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1306675360&sr=1-1
It works fine, save for the buttons that are specific to certain OS. It's not my favorite keyboard, tho.
I just purchased this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Folding-Bluetoo...66?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item53e6f9a18a
I have one from about 10 years ago that was made for a Handspring PDA and it was hands-down the best portable keyboard I've ever used, so I'm hoping this one will be just as good. I also have a Jorno keyboard on order, but there's no ETA on its release yet.
I've also used a Bluetooth mouse with the phone, and it also works fine. Mine's the Razer Orochi.
Logitech dinovo mini works well...
(only complaint is that the keyboard layout is scandinavian/swedish) and the phone gets the default english letters. Probably just have to change key mapping but have not gotten around to that yet)

Does anybody know how to use a different keyboard layout than US/GB?
I have a German version of this keyboard.
Same with me.
My keyboard finally arrived, and it's pretty good. Seems it may have a defect (it's typing some double letters on some keys, R and Space especially), but other than that, it's pretty much an exact replica of the one I used to have, and it feels great. I highly recommend it.

it's a clone of the one TJ mentioned.
Oh sure it's an interesting concept, and it's a full size keyboard, the problem is
IT DOESN'T WORK!!!
Seller doesn't seem to care.
So between thsi and TJ's case I woudl recommend staying away from these
Has any body tried this "Mini Bluetooth Keyboard with Touchpad and Laser Pointer" with the S2? it looks great for sofa surfing with the hdmi MHL adaptor.
I am not allowed to post any links yet so please Google for
Rii Mini Bluetooth KeyBoard Review! - Touchpad Mouse
I would be grateful if some could could confirm that they have got it working and what they think of this device?
And do all the buttons work OK e.g. media volume and cursor buttons and touch pad?
Thanks

I'm 90% sure there is a youtube video if it being used with the S (or was it the s2) and the mouse worked as well
I'm using Palm 3245WW BT Keyboard and Microsoft BT Notebook Mouse 5000 without issues.

I've sent mine back for a replacement. It's a very cheaply-made product. The original is built far better... it actually says on the back "designed by Think Outside Inc., Carlsbad, CA USA."
Hello!
I tested a Nokia SU-8W bluetooth keyboard, it comes with a Nokia N8.
Works well, no pairing issues, very clean to do it .
I don't know how to do with the keyboard the same actions as "option" or "home" buttons . At least, Esc key works as back button.
I miss to have a bluetooth mouse at the same time... is a needed partner for this keyboard.

On the couple of Bluetooth keyboards I've been using, these combinations worked:
Fn+left arrow: Home
Fn+right arrow: Sleep
Fn+1: Option/menu
Fn+(hold) left arrow: Recent
Fn+(tap x2) left arrow: Voice Talk
Been playing with other combinations, but those are all the ones I've been able to find so far.

Actually, I am interested in remapping keys. I have a Palm 3245WW bluetooth keyboard and I sometimes have to write in Greek, which involves using some accents (for intonation). The on-screen keyboard will give me these accents if I long press on the keys of the stock Greek layout, but I haven't figured out how to do this with the bluetooth keyboard. Any help would be appreciated.
