I'm not happy with the default car app. It's limiting and I would love an option to add my own apps. Unfortunately, there is no such way, as far as I know, and if there is, do tell.
When I put my Note 4 into Car mode, is there a way to set another app to be the Car Mode app instead of the stock app? My app of choice is CarHome Ultra.
You can disable the stock app in its settings to not auto connect on Bluetooth connection. I know Car Dashdroid has a setting to auto connect on connection. Haven't tested the app yet until tomorrow. Doesn't Car Ultra have one?

I bought a MINI > MICRO USB Adapter from Ebay.
I have Paul's R3 ROM installed
Everytime I plug in my Desire using a MINI usb cable and the mentioned adapter to charge my Desire, up pops the Car dock app and the GPS starts connecting!
If I exit the Car dock app and press home the car dock app returns.
So whatever the combination I have it works for the car dock!
This is the adapter:

Maybe of help to someone
Interesting, I have one of these adapters so will try the same when I get home. What car dock app did you use? (assuming there is not one already installed!)

There seems to be one built-in on this ROM.
It comes up with:
Footprints, Navigation, Voice Seach, View Map, Search & Make a Call
Using Menu->Settings you can also get it to auto connect bluetooth!! Yay.
It looks the same as this, stock though I would guess.

its taken from the HTC incredible, not in the stock desire rom but built into the modaco rom, can be seperately installed into the stock rom however from an APK.
2 different cables / adapters, one for automatic entering of car dock mode, the other for automatic entering of desk dock mode.
I've been searching all over this site and the net trying to find anything comparable to what I envision. I see that HTC has one out for the One X, but I would like some assurance that it will work for our phones as well before I shell out cash, and I have yet to find one with desk mode functionality...

use nfc, i use nfc tasker and got my tags from tagsfordroid works great and cheap too
I've got NFC tags and I'm using the Google Car Home app via NFC Task Launcher. I originally set it up to open the app but there was no convenient way to automatically close it. What I found, and others may already be aware of this, is that the Car Home app can be set to monitor BT and when a specific connection is made it will automatically start the Car Home app. Also, when the connection is lost for a user configurable period of time it will automatically close the app. So now all I use the tag for is to turn on BT and set volumes & brightness.
So even though the store says the app isn't compatible it is and just needs to be manually installed.
I figured it would be about time we made a thread specifically to discuss profiles that work for the Note 2014.
Note buddy plugin and gmd gesture control.
I use the Note buddy plugin to detect removal and insertion of the spen to pause and unpause the gesture control service since it being on interferes with the pen's usage.
Usb connected/disconnected
I use this to set input box to come up anytime I connect my USB OTG keyboard or disconnect it. This lets me switch to the external keyboard helper so I can use all the nifty shorcuts and such I have mapped to the keyboard.
Wifi near
Trying to use the wifi near ability to automatically connect to my mobile hotspot on my phone anytime it is detected even if already connected to another network. And then exit the profile whenever the hotspot is no longer detected. I am having some trouble getting this one figured out so If anyone knows how to make such a profile work or can figure it out let me know as It would be really useful for me when I am on a crowded wifi and want to switch over to my hotspot.
That's all I have right now. I am going to set up one for using the device as a gps and open maps whenever it detects it has been connected to the hotspot while being bluetoothed to my car's stereo system.

Hi there. First of all, I'm NO root. So I can't use Wanam Xposed. Maybe we can help each other to solve these issues.
-Is it possible to disable bluetooth popup when enabling it? I don't want to select my already connected device each time I want to enable BT.
-Is it possible to change the default player for BT? When I'm connected to my car and I touch "play" button, the default Music app in the phone starts, not the lastest one or any other app. I'd like to open another app instead (podcast player).
-Is it possible to enable Bluetooth WITHOUT unlocking the phone? I mean, from the lockscreen. (I have fingerprint security)
Thanks!
Why?
This link doesn't make any sense, you wind up in the same place on a browser instead of the app that I paid for that doesn't work.
Pp.
AFIK there is no way to hide the Bluetooth popup without root. Also I don't mind the popup, better than having to go all the way through settings to connect to a Bluetooth device that I am not already paired with. also if multiple Bluetooth devices in the area that are paired you will just connect to one and you will have to go to settings to switch to the other device.
Default player would also have to be changed through root, If you even can.
And no you cannot turn off anything or open notifications when there is a screen lock. The whole point is to stop people from doing things to your phone while it is locked. However you can setup safe locations (uses gps to find your location) where your phone will stay unlocked just like when you have a trusted device connected via Bluetooth.
Hi. Have a JY mtcb head unit with Maylaysk rom and 4.4.4 android. Find it tricky to shift between the 2 phones i have conected in the bluetooth app on my head unit. First i have to mark the active phone and then deselect it. Then i can mark the next phone in the list and connest it. Is there a easy way to do this with just a short cut or a another app that will do it more easy?
I do not know a shortcut but maybe I can do even better
Buy an android compatible Bluetooth dongle and pair both (cost me $4 incl shipping from China), I did that with my OBD device and phone but see know issue why 2 phones shouldn`t work as well.
The only thing that could be a (small) problem is which it would dial a number with.
Just a suggestion of course
Tasker?

What functions would you be using in Tasker?
I was just thinking that Tasker could possibly be used to automate bluetooth switching. I'm not sure HOW to set it up though.
I use the app Trigger. I use it to turn on my phone's Hotspot when it connects to my headunits Bluetooth connection and when it disconnects it turns off the Hotspot and turn on my wifi. It is very easy to use compared to Tasker. Tasker is good as it has a lot of functions but I don't quite know how to use it yet.

I was using Tasker for a few of these things, but actually the Smart Connect on my phone does all these things well.
I think what this thread is about though, which I would like to know two is that if you have two phones connected to the head unit, it connects to one, but even though the other is stored as a bluetooth connection it will only autoconnect to the last connected phone. This means you have to manually hit the connect on the head unit for it to work if you weren't the last one in the car!
It would be better if you could tell the head unit to have a "preference" to connect to phone A over phone B, but if phone A isn't present, then connect to phone B.
Well the headunit is very limited, but if you are very knowledgeable in Tasker you set something like that up on the headunit. I think trigger can let it do the same thing by using restrictions,
