Hey,
Is there a way to force a black wallpaper when car home is in use? I'm running CM6 latest nightly and my wallpaper is quite intrusive when in car mode.
Thanks!
Wonderful. No answers. And if I post this in the development forum, I get yelled at...
Use the program "Locale" with condition "When in Car Dock" do "Set wallpaper"
Unfortunately I use settings profiles. Is this a bug? Should it automatically go to a black background?

Whenever the Play is plug into the DK300, it will automatically start the CLOCK application, and map the HOME button to CLOCK application. Is there anyway to prevent that or change the auto launch application?
Thanks in advance.
found my own answers - by using the software from market , dock nothingness OR Dock no-OP.
Thanks
thats good. i believe you can also change it from liveware manager in you pre-installed apps. if you go there you can see the dock (when its connected) and it has app launch and you can remove the clock app.
just you liveware manager.
I would get one if you could set it do a slide show and use it like a picture frame.
Or can you?

You can, actually. It's one of the features of the dock mode. It presents the images on your Gallery as a slideshow.
BTW, I can't find anything on LiveWire which allows you to set up the dock mode. Is it perhaps because I haven't updated the phone (and currently can't)?
At any rate, Dock Nothingness did what I wanted, which was the same as the OP. If I want to launch the clock app, I can do so by myself, thank you very much.

Lol that's what happened to me. I thought that after connecting the dock to my Xplay for the 1st time the dock would appear there on LiveWire, but it doesn't. xD
i started this post cos livewire does not have that option
anyway, enjoy your xperia play and push up my thanks meter please.

When using the car mount, is there any way to keep the phone from going to the vehicle home screen? With the older droid mounts the removal of the magnet from the mount was possible, but I have not been able to find where the magnet or proximity sensor that controls this is located. I would like to keep it from defaulting to the vehicle home screen as I do not like the extra map stuff that I have to go through to get to the navigation app.
There are a few ways you can do this:
Root, install Titanium Backup, and freeze the CarDock app
Install Tasker and create a profile to kill the CarDock app when docked
Install an app like Dock No-Op or Dock Nothingness
I replaced the CarDock app with the AOSP one from CyanogenMod. It has an "exit" button.
I am also seeking for this, please suggest if you get any suggestion related.
Any advice invited. Thanks in advance.
I just set up a smart action to launch Car Dashboard app when it detects the vehicle nav dock. Works great. I like the default nav home screen, but I wish it had more than one screen and was customizable like the Bionic. I need to be able to get Google Navigation and Pandora on the menu and the Car Dashboard does it for me.
Car home ultra is a nice car dock app with lots of side screens.

I would agree about Car Home Ultra. It's my personal favorite out of all the one's I've tried. You can add apps, shortcuts, individual numbers to call and many other things.
HI!
I am using my Touchpad with CM9 in my bedroom. It is always in the Touchstone Dock
I like to have the TP permanent go to Dock Mode instead to turn Screen off.
Is this possible?

Try installing Tasker and set up a context of on charge to open the clock app. It should be fairly straightforward.
HI!
Tried a lot but nothing really works with tasker.
Could you please explain it a little more detailed?
Maybe I did something wrong...
Moved to Q&A, please read here for what should be posted in development section.
HI!
Is Tasker able to start an App like Dock Clock after 1 Min. of not using the TP?
Dam it!
I bet there is a Parameter to execute an App when Display went off. Found a Parameter %DTOUT but how does it work for me??
Goes the wrong way I think..... but how to revert it? If Display went of start the app dock clock?
Dam it (2)!
Okay, there is a Profile "Display off"
in that case I start the Task "Starting App Dock Clock"
But it wont work if Display went off........ why?
Not working with ICS??
I run mad!
Edit3:
Near to shoot myself
In the Clock / Taskmanager it shows "no active Profiles"
But I hocked them......
Hi Guys,
Just got the dock for my Gnote. I've managed to find the settings page to disable/enable external speakers. However this seems to be the only option under "dock"
As it stands each time I dock the phone I get the "complete action using" pop-up. Is there a way to disable this? As I don't want a default action when I dock my phone. I'd rather it just stay on the homescreen and charge. I can't seem to find this setting anywhere.
Cheers.
I'd like to have my TP display news, weather, Facebook feed or other interesting things while in the dock. What is the best way to do this? I am new to android. I just installed CM11 4.4.4 on my TP and love it.
Can I install and customize widgets and that display automatically when docked?
Thanks!
I've played around with this for awhile now and have a working solution. This may be common knowledge to some, but as a newb I had to cobble together info from several places to get the results I wanted. Here's what I did.
First, enable custom widgets in Personalization, lock screen
Press and hold on your home screen and select Widgets. There are a bunch included in CM but you can get more in the play store. Set up your widgets how yuou like them. I have Email, news, and a time/weather one set up.
Now get Dock no op and Stay Alive from the play store. Dockno op will tell the tablet to do nothing when you dock it. Stay alive keeps the screen on. There are lots of options in Stay Alive but I just used "keep screen on while charging". I also unchecked Allow screen to dim.
I tried turning on developer options (tap 7 times in Settings, About tablet, Build number) and checking the setting the Stay Awake option. It kept the screen on, but it still dimmed after 30 seconds.
Now I can keep my HP TP on the dock on my desk all day and it will stay on.
Sorry to keep replying to my own thread, but someone may find this helpful.
Now I am a bit worried about screen burn in since it is on my home page 18 hours a day on the dock. Can anyone suggest an app that will move the screen around periodically, or maybe schedule screen inversion, or color changes? Or is there a way to rotate between two home screens with different content?
