Samsung Desk Home

ahh well, i searched beforehand, obviously not that thoroughly. sorry.

Looked at the permissions for the desk home app, holy cow, there isn't anything it can't access/do. Absolutely no way I am installing that from a Mediafire link, will use market enabler and try to get it from the market. Not saying the Mediafire one has been tampered with, but I don't want to take the chance considering what it says it can do to my phone.

but the car home does not show the same icons and in the commecials. I dont have navigation and voice search (and that way the whole idea with the theme i guess)
google navigation is not available in sweden, but voice search is i believe?
Has anyone found any hidden settings for changing the icons to for example copilot?

i just pressed search and the little microphone came up next to the text input box, and as for google maps, i dunno if you can change the links, but do a search for car dock v2, apparently it is customisable.

Is it possible to set this to default dock app and prevent a screen timeout?

Just get "Car Dock V2" from the market. It's free and way better.

I'm using Froyo is this why?

FC in JPH (froyo). Someone got it to run properly?

I downloaded the two files from this thread, but how do I install them? My phone doesn't find the .apk, but I see that it's a win-zip file. Do I have to convert them to .apk or what?

Just rename to .apk - use something like es file explorer to install it.

How? The filename is com.samsung.tmo.carhome.test.apk.

Install Astro on your phone free from market. Plug usb in to computer and put that file on your SD card. Open Astro and navigate to that file and click it.

Faceook Home pre-relase leak

Just read this article on android guys. There pre-release version of facebook home is available now.
Step 1. Uninstall Facebook and Facebook messenger if they are already installed. This is required coz the leaked build is running on test keys rather than release keys.
Step 2. Download 3 APKs:
Install all 3 APKs in no particular sequence using any File manager.
Step 3. Press home button and default to fAcebook Home launcher. You’ll be required to sign-in the first time.
Please be patient while Facebook loads your stream and photos during first launch.
Recommended: You can tinker with settings and play with options like making the Notification bar visible at all times or not. Even when its hidden, a downward gesture from top of the screen brings notification panel down.
EDIT: Other two files are too big to attach here

Facebook blocked the app server side. I'm afraid you can't use it anymore.

FAQ from the website
I installed the app but the icon doesn't show up in my app tray. What can I do?
If this happens on your phone, the only solution we found was to use Nova Launcher because it has a feature that allows you to run a specific activity within an app. To set this up:
Within Nova Launcher, long-press on the home screen.Choose "Shortcuts"Select "Activities"Find "Google Dialer" in the list, then tap to open it up, and select "Phone" (use the first one in the list)
This will put a shortcut to the dialer on your home screen. At this stage, you can use this to access Google Dialer. It's not the cleanest solution, but it does work.
Can I disable my default dialer?
The short answer is no. As a general rule, you will need to keep your present dialer enabled in order to receive calls. The long answer is that on some phones you might be able to disable your stock dialer, but on others you definitely cannot. Feel free to try it on your own device and let us know what your results are.
(I disabled the first phone apk of the 2 that show up (flashing adds another one and I had it A-Z order))
EDIT: After disabling the APK, when I select "Call" the phone doesn't show any call screen whatsoever, and still has a call going, (mic works, and you can call, but the only way you can hang up is to leave the app and click the extended notification)
Again, this is all them!

Assign a new program to swipe up instead magazine home?

When I swipe up from the home button on the main screen, the magazine program shows up. I uninstalles the prigram since I dont care for it on my rooted note 3. Now whem I swipe up, I get fromgram not installed and it starts the play store to download the magazine app again. Can I assign another program to this gesture?

You can with another launcher but I don't think you can in stock TW, yet... Seems like it would be a single file to tweak but it might go deeper than that. Being rooted is a good first step once the tweak is available though

You can if your running Tweaked ROM.

And one interesting thing is that my email program started having fc once I tried to open a new email after uninstalling the my magazine. After I restored it, the fcs went away... very peculiar. ..

My Magazine and the stock email are linked. If you remove/freeze My Magazine I would get email fc if I tried to open email from the notification drawer. I think I saw someone make email apk that removes/breaks this link.

Question Widgets causing pixel launcher to crash

Since updating to the June build the pixel launcher crashes every time I press on a widget. I've tried deleting the widget and readding it and clearing the cache in pixel launcher. I haven't cleared data yet because I think that will lose all of my home screen setup. Is anyone else experiencing this or know how to fix it?

Updates/upgrades can and do break things.
Try -if- possible updating the app.
No easy fix if the app is no longer compatible with the firmware though and hasn't been updated.
Try clearing the data, reinstalling said apps.
Or simply don't use them for the time being.
If another app like Google play Services is used by the problem widget, dependencies, clear it's data.
A factory reset may solve the issue but don't count on it...
My stock N10+ firmware hasn't been updated in 2.5 years, current load is 2 yo, still fast, stable and fulfilling its mission. Security is not an issue. However resolving app updates issues has cost me more wasted time then anything else. All were resolved without a factory reset... easier said than done
Google makes changes for the sake of change alone. All too often not in the end users best interests. Just because you're busy doesn't mean your productive... Gookill.

I just temporarily switched from Nova Launcher Prime to the Pixel Launcher on the June update and clicked on the At a Glance widget, and it loaded the weather fine.
I hope you find an easy solution.
Using any Magisk Modules? If so, disable them, reboot, and try again.

I'll give that a shot. Widgets that open an app work fine but the ones that do an action like pressing play on my Audible widget cause it to crash. I only have some basic magisk modules but I will try disabling them and see if it helps. Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm not rooted or nothing and just applied clock wiget to pixel launcher nland opened it worked fine for me no crash must be a magic mod that's efecting you

I confirm here that this is indeed a problem with the new June security patch.
Here are some widgets I found that have this problem (crashes Pixel Launcher when tapped)
1. Galaxy Buds Manager
2. Habits (blue reload icon) with it's checkbox widget (you must create a habit and select it to reproduce)
3. All Google Fit widgets
In fact most widgets I tried worked, but there are those which crashes every single time you tap on it.
Not sure what is going on.

Maybe try the Habit app too, I have confirmed with another person and it does crash.
Have to create a habit and then add it to the home screen.

You have to create one first in the app and then add the widget

Ok ill give it another go

As can see no crash for me

Uh couldn't upload so done this way no crash for me

I can open the app with any widget but it crashes when the widget has to do something. For example my audible widget will open the app but clicking the play button causes a crash. The same thing happens with Google calendar and my Authy widget.

Sometimes or even often if a simple copy/paste of an image to a post doesn't work, you can download your image to a file, click the Insert image button in the post, click where it says click here, add the image as an attachment, then from the successful attachment you can choose whether to insert the full image or a thumbnail into the post. This works for me almost all the time that pasting directly into the post fails.
So, sounding like the widget problem is with the Pixel Launcher.

Thank you I was using mobile and didn't see the insert or attach file

hi, any solution for this? other than installing other launcher
this is the crash log that i received
