Was looking for a Car Home app and stumbled upon this thread:

If your like me, and like old school droid programs but cant get them to install on new age devices here is one. This is the Car Home apk for anyone that would like to use it. Install as you would any apk. If you run into any problems side load it from something like dropbox or push via ADB. Once you install both the launcher and the car home apk then boot into clockwork recovery and fix permissions, reboot and you should be good.
If you use and like hit the thanks button!

I installed Car Home on SRF 1.2 and seems to be working fine. Just thought i'd share, here are some screen shots.

Is this Car Home by Google? Looks the same; however I noticed the Market Version says my device is not supported.
^^^^ I'd like to know this too. Been using Samsung's app which is a little weak. Will give this a try

Interesting. It works, but has some quirks. The music button only seems to work with the google music app. When I try to add other apps to a screen, it only allows me to select launcher apps...

Found this floating around the web & thought I'd share, they have a very interesting UI it's rather different.
A home app replacement with an easy-to-use interface that delivers previews of social network updates as well as phone services data. Pick a service, such as Facebook or Twitter, to see recent updates. Choose Call History or Contacts to call someone. Use the app launcher cube to quickly find any installed app and launch it.
Based around a single circle of icons, you can control every aspect of your phone with a single screen. Two to be exact The second of which is the screen that holds all your applications in a very slick cube design.

Hi,
I was using the task manager that installs with Go Launcher EX to have a look around and noticed that the torch widget/app that came with the stock GB install was running in the background. When I killed it, it restarted automatically and when I checked its permissions it had pretty much free run of everything (see pic - and that doesn't show the lot).
Now, I may be being paranoid, but this setup looks very suspicious for a simple torch app - anyone with more experience of such things care to comment.

Block those with Droidwall.
I don't understand why stock music player on ICS (and may be on GB too) can read email attachment, sms/mms ?
Yes, weird. I've actually frozen it with Titanium Backup and installed a free widget from the Play Store.
Is there an HTC drive mode app? Can't find it on my AT&T model, only theirs.
Yes, was on my UK sim free version. Have not used it but is definitely there from the beginning. Looks to make main functions large in text and icon size. Am sure it will do a lot more though.

I did a detailed review on the car mode http://gavinsgadgets.wordpress.com/2013/04/15/htc-one-daily-blog-car-mode-review/
My AT&T phone has the app. It's called "Car." Also, when I trigger Car Mode using HD Widgets, it uses the HTC car app rather than AT&T's app which is nice.
Yeah the app is nowhere to be found on my phone. Maybe I deleted It by accident? Anybody have an apk?
Check the AT&T One forum for more discussion, but apparently AT&T has hidden the HTC car app from the Sense launcher but has not deleted it. To access you can use a shortcut ("quickshortcutmaker" was one app that was mentioned) to it or you can use a different launcher which should show the HTC car mode app.

Thanks, this works perfectly. Nice of AT&T to hide it.
These are only confirmed working on AOSP-based devices,[4.1.2]

Place the ZIP in /system/media and then fix permissions rw-r-r- with a root file explorer and reboot.

Download link doesn't work.
It actually works, but you have to copy and paste it to address bar of your browser.
I have copied it via copy paste still not working
Add #afyt6yuyoava3 right after mediafire.com/ ,should work.
Trust me its not working for me it just goes striaght to Mediafires home page with both the link and manual typing and if i am logged into my account it will just go directly to that. So the file is not public.
it works fine, just tried it.
logged in, copy/paste link
Try this..

That works, Thanks
Alright, so i finally got to something that really bothers me and I'm wondering if anyone has a fix other than using a different sms/mms app.
When typing a message, day i wasn't too take a picture yes? Well, when taking a picture in the messenger app i am in a not so bright area okay? WHY THE HECK CAN'T I USE FLASH!?!?!?!?!?
I have a picture of what i am explaining..

When the camera app opens do you see a menu option with a lightning bolt and three dots?
There's no flash option when using the camera from the messenger app. If you don't like it you could use another app (I known you may not want to). I have the same messenger app on my G3 and since I never use flash it doesn't bother me.
Also cannot use flash when using HDR+ mode anywhere. If you want to use flash I have to turn this mode off, course this doesn't have anything to do with messenger camera flash.
Flash is an option in Hangouts if you wanna switch to that.

This was true for the Nexus 5/KK 4.4 as well.
