[Q] Navigation software in Car Dock mode - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I'm an happy owner of a Desire HD smartphone with "Android revolution HD 6.1.0" ROM loaded.
When I drive, Car dock mode is very usefull and user friendly but when I need to run a Nav software I don't use the one gived by default because I don't like it.
There's a way to write a mod that give the possibility tapping the nav button in Car dock mode, to choose with different nav software?
Thanks...
Edit: I'm talking about the custom one.. Please do not tell me to download other Car dock app (I already know that there are several). I like this one and I only would like to know if something can be done. That's it!

Nobody knows how to???

[Q] As there is no Dock App.....

I have a Sensation XL and the official HTC dock which ( like lots of other phones ) will enter dock mode when inserted into it.
As there is no dock app in apps does that mean when a dock is released ( assuming the dock will charge via the touch points on the back ) no Dock mode will be auto entered ?
I use my phone as an alarm clock and love to dock it next to my bed and as this X had the touch points USB can be taken out of the equation meaning no fiddling to dock it.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts

It has "Dock Settings", so I suppose there is also an app which pops up. Having no app in the app drawer doesn't mean that there is no app at all
Maybe someone with a device could use something like any cut to create a shortcut to the Dock App and run it ? I'd like to see if it's the same as the 3.6 sense app I have.
Thanks

How to hide status bar
Great thanks it worked but this leads me to another question. Is there a way to temporarly hide or make transparent ISC status bar. This would come in handy while playing games but most importantly while wtching movies. Most of them do not need that because they thiner than 720 pixels but mowies with exact 1280X720p a cropped on the bottom.
Plese let me know if there is a way.
Ps. I would be nice to set button maybe longpress recent apps (the one on the right) to show and hide status bar.
Sorry for double post but i have noticed a new problem. I dont have a YouTube aplication and i cant download it from adroid market. Can someone share a newest apk file with tablet support. I wuld be greatfull.

Is there a Landscape - Horizontal desktop docking station

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has seen or heard of a horizontal/landscape docking station / stand for the HTC One. All I see is the portrait one, but I use my phone as an alarm clock as well, and it would be really cool if the alarm app would automatically switch on when it senses it's in a landscape holder of some type. My Original Google Droid had such a holder, and my wife's Sony Xperia Play (don't laugh) also had this accessory.
Alarm clock apps are supposed to be viewed in landscape mode. I have searched on the web, and I don't even see references to even a future product. I thought maybe someone on this forum might have some inside info, unless I overlooked something.
Thanks again for any replies.
Alberto
Just picked up a Otterbox Defender and the belt clip rotates and snaps open to hold your phone in a landscape layout.
The problem is that Sense 5.0 doesn't come with a desktop clock mode like you get in stock Android. HTC doesn't make a desktop dock for the phone, so nothing happens when you plug it into a power source.
I just use a portrait dock and have Tasker launch a desk clock app.

Through HTC Media Link HD there is a horizontal Sense mode so there is probably a way to force this through some tweaks i suppose.
Maybe Trickdroid has that function in the Tweaks app or maybe ViperOne. Haven't tried it though only with Media link HD.
Can't test it myself currently cause i'm at a GPe rom.
Or put the phone in Car mode

Paying someone to get Torque Widgets on my Android 10 Homescreen

I recently Purchased a new Head Unit, Atoto S8 Ultra Gen 2.
I have connected Torque, but I want to add widgets to the homescreen, so that when the car starts, the gauges are already displayed.
I can get Torque to auto load on the Gauge page, but then I have to minimize to access other apps/radio.
I'm willing to pay someone to get the Torque Widgets working on my Home Screen (Android 10).
Please reach out to me if you can do this and we can discuss a price.
Any help appreciated!

I think you may have to look at a different solution than to add widgets to your current home screen. Have you thought about changing your home screen to be something that has the ability to add widgets to it vice trying to hack a unit, unlock and root it just to pull the home screen apk and modify the apk? May I suggest looking at Car Launcher app which will basically be a GUI over your current home screen which does allow for many different customizations. Hope this helps.

Hey buddy
Thank you for your reply.
I don't want to root this head unit as it will void my warranty.
I actually have purchased the Car Launcher Pro app, but how does that help me display Data from Torque?
I pretty much want my headunit to boot up and automatically display certain gauges from my Supra on the headunit.
On my last head unit I had the Torque app auto boot to the gauges page on Torque, but was hoping with this new Android 10 head unit I could do more!
The problem with booting straight into the app, is if you want to play music or do anything else, you have to press home to get out of Torque, then select something else, where as if the Torque widgets worked with Android 10, they would just be there on the home screen.
Willing to pay you for some help if you can get this working or have any others ways for me to get torque info on my headunit without having the app full screen
with the Car launcher app as your home screen, you can add all the widgets you want and have them all start up when the head unit starts up.
So you would have the head unit running Car Launcher app, then you would chose your them/layout. Modify that to add all your widgets to display on it. I already have this setup to my mirror.

I've got the headunit on a testing bench right now. I'll fire it up and give it a go.
If that works I'll be so happy, but so far every launcher I've tried, the "Widgets for Torque" app doesn't Display anything.. I believe it's a compatibility issue with Android 10.
You saying you've gotten widgets for torque working on Android 10 with Car Launcher?

I'm running Android 8.1 on that mirror not 10. I don't see how that would change the process though. This may help you out a bit
Yeah even with Android 9 it was working, but Android 10 seems to have stopped. Try it for yourself on an android 10 Unit

Nah I just double checked on 2 android 10 devices. Widgets for torque not working
I think I found your solution. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.prowl.torquedashboardplugin&hl=en_US&gl=US
This program just worked on my Android S10+ with Android 11
I will make you a quick video to show you what I just did.
You have to make sure that the Torque Pro app is open before you press the add widgets button.

This on top of your Car Launcher should be nice. Hope this helps.
