[Q] Desk Cradle and LauncherPro Plus

When I got my fascinate I bought the desk charger too. When I plugged it in, the desk cradle app popped up as I expected. I decided to go with LauncherPro Plus, thinking the dock app would come up automatically, but it doesn't. Is there a way to fix this? I'd like to be using Launcher Pro and put my phone on the charger and the desk cradle app pop up automatically. Thanks for your help

You figure out a way to do this?

I would like it to launch automatically too but all you need to do is push the home key and that will launch it for you.

Tasker in the market would be able to do this. Has a learning curve, but worth it to learn.
From a phone on an app

Also, what I did is bought klaxon (supports a great dev), installed genie widget and you get the stock clock look with weather on it.
From a phone on an app

i would love for this to work too. i have home switcher installed so my default is LauncherPro Plus. so when i hit the home key it doesn't go to the desk cradle.

my lp+ launches the deskclock when i slide it into the home dock (used to launch the normal home dock app, but it isn't on my phone anymore)

Although this might not help because I didn't do anything to make my phone do this it just always has, I'm using LP+ and my Desk Clock launches when I put my phone in the cradle. However, I am using the AOSP desk clock so maybe that makes a difference.

it does make a difference. if your on stock rom and use launcherpro the desk cradle have to be started manually. now that im running a custom rom i also have the aosp desk cradle now comes up.

Locale, expensive, but a great app.

Play dock DK300 autostart

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.

[Q] Faking Docking Mode?

Is to possible to Fake Docking Mode?

It is not possible in the way it was with the OG DROID by use of magnets because the dock modes are now controlled through circuit boards inside the docks that signal the phone as to which mode it should go into.
Since there are no shortcuts in the app drawer either, this can make getting into desk mode and car mode difficult, but not impossible. I currently use ADW Launcher which allows you to create a custom shortcut on any home screen. If you were to select Activities, you get a list of all possible phone activities including all the different app activities. Among those app activities are of course the car and desk mode apps. This method also works with the Better Cut app if you are using the default launcher. So you can actually create a shortcut that will initiate one of the other modes. I hope this helps.

So can u actually access dock'd mode?
I know there is a way to by-pass the problem like you did in the og... you have to mod the apps to see when it fires which gives me an idea...

If you tell me which app/launcher you are using (launcher pro, ADW, Better Cut), then I can give you a step by step.

i just don't know the name of the main dock process!?!?! :/

You CAN use a magnet, but you have to get just the right spot and it usually goes into desk mode, not car.

I have the maverick rom and when I put it in the car dock it switches to vertical mode (when it should be in horizontal mode) and wont auto fix until I remove it from the car dock....so weird.

HELP - No voice on Sat Nav ?

Hi,
I have the Samsung Galaxy S2 in-car dock and am very impressed with it.
Trouble is, when I connect the mains power (slide the base up) the voice disappears and 'Voice command'' appears ?
I'm sure there's an easy remedy .....
Many thanks

What is the Navigation App Name and Dock type?

Sorry, It's any app (Google & Sygic I'm using) and the dock is the genuine Samsung windscreen mounted dock with charging port.

try this application
I have sygic navigation too, but I haven't got a dock, I only have a simple holder. My custom ROM have the DockSetting and I found alternative app for you.

[Q] Any Way to go to Dock Mode instead of Black Screen after standby??

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......
