I have a DroidX and now a freshly rooted and CM7'd Incredible 2
One thing I miss from my Gingerbread DroidX is the Location button on the version of the Car Dock it runs - gives you the map with your speed on it too vs just the map version on the Incredible 2/CM7 one.
Anyone know how to upgrade or replace this???
Thanks!
Chris

It was most likely a blur feature, Sense 3.0 has something similar on their version of maps but it's not as easy to just replace the app especially if it depends on blur or sense.

Can someone explain to me how this "car mode" or "car home" app is supposed to work? Say, music for example. It's either mount your SD through USB, or plug in an auxiliary cable. Am I missing something here? It's not like on an iPod that u can plug in your USB and play music, right?

To my knowledge the car screen is simply a front end to allow easy access to apps when the phone is sat in an in car holder?

hahaha I guess it will become useful when i get really old!
Seriously though, I asked cause there's also this "dock" setting in froyo. Something in the works, perhaps?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Is car mode exclusively for Froyo? I'm still on a stock Desire. Is this something I will get with the OTA update or is it something to download from the Marketplace/HTC website?
Comes with froyo, is included in most custom froyo roms and will be in the official sense froyo which is coming any day now.

Funny, after today's update I haven't found it. Not looking hard enough maybe?
Nope, is an app and isn't there
There are several of the sort on the market, which do you guys recommend? Or is this one we're talking about a specific one?
Isn't it designed for HTC's official car holder, due on the 22nd? I guess it only "activates" once you plug your phone into it.

I thought of that, but for it to be activated it has to be present, no? Unless it'll be a "surprise update" from HTC

Perhaps it only does so once you place the phone into the holder.
Is there a menu option in Settings? The leaked ROMs had this. (I'm not running today's release)

I found something more
Add new item on the desktop - Shortcut - Settings
There you find different settings for Car Dock, Dock Settings, Unit admnistration settings
(Might not be called that, translated from danish)
So it seems that the application are there but hidden?
Good catch
It indeed seems that only when HTC's car holder becomes available will we see it. I guess I'll get one from the market. Any recomendations?
Looks like you're right. One of the features of the dock is:
"Connects straight to the NaviPanel interface" which HTC describe as:
"Navipanel offers you a convenient, one-touch interface to Footprints, the Phone dialer, and the GPS navigation software when you are using the in-car holder with your phone. When you put your phone in the holder, NaviPanel automatically opens and lets you use these applications."
Got any link to that dock?
looking for one, havent heard about an official one tbh..

Basically I'm looking for a bookmark widget for my Desire, I would use the HTC one but I'm running a base version of Froyo not one with Sense.
I thought I had found one but I've reset my phone and now I can't find it, any suggestions?
I was trying to find one too, but then I discovered "Launcer Pro Plus" for 3 usd or what ever it cost, and it was well worth it. Look it up, it's widgets is much better than HTC-Sence :-D
Perfect mate, thank-you!

I'm wanting to get a Bluetooth keyboard and I know the MAC wireless keyboard is Bluetooth. Has anyone use one or is it compatible?

I use my Apple Mighty BT Keyboard and it works perfectly. I'm using CM6 and I know that ROM had an upgraded BT stack. I'm not sure if other ROM's have it enabled.
BT keyboard + Evernote = WIN

Same here, the IMAC keyboard and mouse both work with CM6. Mouse is not much use now, but it does work, just don't orient the device horizontally, last I tested, CM6.0 it doesn't alter the mouse directions with the display.
CM6 is the ONLY ROM currently that will allow you to use it. It won't work stock, or with any other custom ROM. There is one other AOSP rom that someone was working on, but it had the same flaws as CM6, i.e. no 4G, HDMI, FM radio etc.
I would go with CM6 if you wanted this.
so me running fresh 3.1.0.2, that keyboard would not work? only CM6? :-/
Ideas on another keyboard? Id want to keep my phone horizontal with the stand and use it to take notes on in class. It would keep things simple than taking a netbook with me to class
Nope no other way. There is an alternative though which requires you to be at a computer but lets you tour from the pc and display on your phone.
Check out AndroidCentral.com its on the front page. It must likely won't help but its a cool read.

so no bluetooth keyboard will work unless Im on CM6?
I've read on other forums that the Freedom Pro Keyboard has drivers that will work with HTC sense.

Hello there, I have been eyeing the Samsung Desktop Dock for a while, and was wondering, does it work ok with CM7 and Miui? I don't care about audio out as i probably won't use it, and there are a million clock apps on the market I can use, but does charging work? might be a stupid question, but I just wanted to make sure as CM7 and Miui aren't samsung roms, so there is no guarantee lol
Thanks!
I can not speak about those two particular ROM's but I have run several ROM's with no problems at all charging in eithe the Desktop Cradle or the Car Dock.
I have had issues with the "Stay awake while charging" with the current GB ROM I am running but no other problems.
Audio out does not work with CM7 (only one i tried). Charging does. If you want audio you can try xcal Dock Sound Redirector, it works for me on Gingerbread but I didn't try it on CM7
Oh alright cool! All i really want it for is charging and alarm, so it should do well then thanks guys!
Anyone know if this dock will work with the black phone cover from at&t?

Hey guys,
yesterday i got my phone well, i used HTC_IME keyboard for nearly two years on my X10 before and i wanted to use it again...i installed it and there was a problem. i took the high resolution-keyboard, but it still is too small for the phones resolution, so the keyboard is very small in the left corner
does anyone have an idea, how to solve the problem?
or are there any information about something like HTC_IME_HD ?
Maybe try the keyboard for the Rezound. Since it too has a 720p screen it may work for you.
hm, i can't find a download-possibility...wether on xda, nor on google...do you know sth?
You can buy Smart Keyboard Pro on the Market. With the right settings itcan mimic the HTC IME perfectly, has a skin with HTC look and can do evem more with a wide variety of settings. I use to miss HTC IME when I switched to the Nexus One 2 years ago, but this keyboard hasn't left me since...

The style doesn't really care, i need a T9-Board with German-Dictionary and...T9^^. Push one button for one letter
*edit* bought it, happy with it thanks
Thumb Keyboard, Smart Keyboard, and SwiftKey X all support the higher resolutions.
I use Thumb Keyboard on my Asus Transformer. I understand the HTC_IME is unique. Perhaps try the Rezound forums and see if anyone will post it.

That was my keyboard of choice, up until the ICS keyboard. Its more accurate than ever, keeps up with my keystrokes and had the best auto correct/ word prediction

I've been using it since HTC_IME got buggy on my SGS2. Well worth the money.
I bought Smart KB Pro and still using HTC-IME (not on Nexus) because its better in prediction. You cant just use KB from another Sense device, it needs to be ported
