you can find it.works fine.google it
pm me if you cant find it

I had installed the Google Car Home in the Thunderbolt previously using Root Explorer. Wonder why it says that though on a Google phone?
But thanks. I'm assuming I would use the same install method on this as I did the T-Bolt...

I prefer CarHome Ultra, https://market.android.com/details?...51bGwsMSwxLDEsInNwaW5uaW5naGVhZC5jYXJob21lIl0.
It's not free, but it's way better, imo.

Try this, flash the car home apk then the launcher apk, let me know.

Just found that CarHome Ultra right before you posted it. It's a trial? Didn't see where it asks you to pay for it. Looks nice though.
Thanks for the heads up.

There is a license, that you can purchase for $1.99.

I don't even look at my car's speedometer, anymore. I just glance at my phone.

This is a very nice app. I don't understand why Google doesn't update their own apps with there OS.

If anyone wants Google Car Home with a stock phone, unlocked, unrooted, unanything I've gotten it working through this method:
Google Car Home on the Galaxy Nexus.
How I did it:
Follow the instructions here:
http://www.droid-life.com/2012/02/0...m-the-market-on-the-verizon-lte-galaxy-nexus/
Just type 'Google Car Home' whenever it refers to Google Wallet.
The app will install, but then give you a message that it's not compatible. You will not see it in your apps - however if you go to settings-->apps it's in the list - there is just no icon available.
So there is a final step, install this app:
https://market.android.com/details?...1bGwsMSwxLDEsIm5ldC5jd2ZrLmlnODguY2FybW9kZSJd
All this app does is give you a toggle to launch the default car home app. If you have more than one installed, it will as which you want to use.
I've used Google Car Home on my Verizon Nexus today and it works great. I've also changed the colors now so they match 'ICS blue'.
Will see if I can attach the image:

Waou it works perfectly...
Thank you so much... i've been looking for a way to install car home on my GNexus non rooted for age, and finally i have it, thanks to you.
I was stuck at first, cause i wasn't going on the car home page but stayed on the search results page (where you can actually clic install directly) and the market did the same and it didn't work... but then i did it properly and it's perfect.
I've downloaded apk from xda also, and it allowed me to have the exact same icon than the original (and not the car mode icon).
Anyway, works flawlessly.

Where did you find the APK? I've tried this method but I couldn't get it to work...

Just to say thanks to Mcdeadagain - finding a launcher was my issue.
apk can be found in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569027

Customize Status Bar?

Can anyone tell me how do I customize the status bar icons on my G3? I really need to add a button to enable or disable GPS.
Thanks!

On the toggles drag them all the way left, at the very end there's an edit toggle that will take you to the customization screen thing.

I'd love to get it, unfortunately since I rooted my new G3 this last weekend I can't download anything from Google Play. Can you tell me where I can get the APK?

There's the link to the installer, the link is after the word "download:"
But why can't you install anything from the app store? That's bizarre..the first thing I do is root my devices, doesn't affect the play store....necessarily

It is bizarre. I can access Google Play, find an app, and attempt to download, except that the app never downloads. I get an error 495. I've googled that error and I've cleaned data and cache from Google Play and Google Framework. I've also removed my Google email address from Accounts, cleared it all again, then added my email again. No joy. Seems there are a small number of people with that problem. It's very frustrating with my brand new phone.

Try downloading an app from your browser and not the Play Store app. This has got mine working in the past when nothing else worked.

Sounds like switching Roms might solve that problem. Are you on the stock Rom? Here's the one I'm using, there are only two for now and they are both leaps and bounds better than stock. Additionally, it may be a problem with an older iteration that rom if you are using a custom one

Pixel C and Netflix

So I've owned my Pixel C since it came out, and have been a netflix user since that was made available in AU.
Its always been fine, but in the past week, when playing any show, the screen goes white, and flickers.
Youtube, and local files are all fine.....
Havent bothered to contact netflix yet, Anyone experienced this? Have reinstalled, cleared data, etc. No dice
Stock Pixel C, no mods.

I encourage you to contact them.
I did it over the weekend, and they asked for a short video and asked a few questions. They admitted that the issue lied on their end, as they selectively release updates to a small subset of devices/users to test issues before they go wider - think beta. I think the Pixel C got picked up in this beta and that they will roll out a fix shortly. I'd need to keep updating the app to wait for rectification.

Running Android O DP4, Netflix is working fine.

I upgrade to current Android O 8.0.0 and Netflix is scrambling some, but not all, videos, I get a fraction of a second of full screen then it goes scrambled. I downloaded latest from APK mirror, tried clear cache, clear data, uninstall reinstall, same problem. For example season 1 episode 1 of House of Cards.

I am having the exact same problem. Worked fine up to Android O Beta DP 3. DP4 introduced said problem. I had expected the issue to be resolved prior to official Oreo, but sadly not.

I searched around to fix this myself, and seems I need to report it to NetFlix, but all the guides end up practically nowhere in reality. On the Pixel C Android NetFlix app there is no "report" button, I click to support and it goes to browser, which does not allow me to point to a video.
I can wait for this to be fixed, I have lots of non-NetFlix media I can watch.
Amazon Prime works fine! So seems, NetFlix buggy app on Pixel C is going to cause me to watch some Amazon Prime stuff instead.

I used to have the Netflix app on my Pixel C, but it is gone now. Additionally, it can't be installed from the play store. If I try to install it via the play store web app, when I select my Pixel C it says "Not compatible with this device."
It appears Netflix way of fixing the above problem was to disallow people from using Netflix on the Pixel C.

Call Recorder

It seems that there is a default call recorder on this device (TMO variant). How do I disable, uninstall this?
Can not find any settings for this or where it lives.
Found a file folder called ideacallrecorder. This is where all the files are from recorded calls, but I never installed this app, nor can I find it.

Let me preface this by stating I did not install any call recorder on this device as I have no need for this. On initial set up I made a call and it prompted me to enable call record. After I take/make a call I get a screen that asks if I want to save the recording or add a note. It is somehow linked to some playstore app, but I don't know how to find it.

Go to the play store and view the installed apps?
Care to post a screen shot?

Install it in the play store, clear its cache and data, then uninstall in the app menu?
You could also install LG package disabler and see what it finds?

I'll try the play store option.
I have the package disabler and can't seem to find anything. I also do not know what it would be named. Don't see anything I don't recognize
Attempted installing the prompted app from the play store, cleared cache and data then uninstalled and still no go. May be trying a factory reset, as this is very annoying.

Well, I found the culprit! It was the dam SMS backup app I used. It was the first thing I installed during the set up of the device. Sorry for the confusion, and thank you for everyone's help

For posterity, because finding the source of this "ideaCallRecorder" just drove me NUTS for over an hour:
This apparently came from an app called "Super Backup" ("com.idea.backup.smscontacts...), which has an option to install a "call recorder" function. Once it's installed -- which I did ACCIDENTALLY while rebuilding my lady's phone -- you can't find the function anywhere in the system. The only clue is that folder in the default above-root directory /storage/emulated/0 .
The niggle was that EVERY CALL was being recorded on my lady's phone, and I could not find any way at all to turn call recording off. Until I stumbled on this thread.
The vendor shows up on apkmirror.com as "MobileIdea Studio". I advise to AVOID this dev's "Super Backup" app at all costs! Because it was way too easy for me (and apparently the OP here) to accidentally tap the wrong button on the main screen.
I realize this is 4 years later, but since this problem was such a bear to find for me (and a top-level XDA search didn't give me a lot of help), I figured I would add to the knowledge base, in the hope of making it easier for somebody else to solve this problem if it ever pops up.

YouTube Vanced not working?

Anyone tried YouTube Vanced? It crashes after a few seconds after starting, anyone else having the same issue?

Did you load the microg file?
Sent from my SM-G988U1 using Tapatalk

No i didn't, never had to before, but after installing it its working now, thanks.

Works fine for me on S20+. Just follow installation guide

Works fine here also, but I always had to use it with MicroG.

I never had to install microg to make it work before, but now it seems it is mandatory.

Ya that's what puzzled me, I never had microg installed so figured it wasn't needed, oh well all is good now.
Didn't realize how many ads there are in YouTube, good riddance!

I have the latest version installed but mine says that it can't connect to the Internet. It just started doing this.

Glitching around the punch hole when zoomed in Galaxy S20+
Hi,
Youtube vanced works fine on my side. But has anyone noticed that sometimes it doesn't want to zoom to fill in the screen when watching YT videos or sometimes when you're able to zoom there's some glitching happening on the punch hole side of the screen? I have disable my original YT app and just using YouTube Vanced since then.
Btw, I'm using the version 15.05.54

Already works. I uninstalled microg, vanced, reboot phone and install again microg and vanced

Downloaded both apk's a few weeks ago, didn't work so I deleted both files. Now every week or so my phone automatically downloads the vanced file. I just delete it. Any explanation as to why this is happening would be welcome. Thanks.

Working fine for me but I have home ads. Their discord say's it's something YT did and they're looking at but haven't figured out yet. Here's hoping they fix it soon.
