Is there a DeskMode or DeskMode Lite app that will enable desk mode triggering with an AOSP ROM so that the phone goes into desk mode when inserted into the multimedia charging cradle?
I just bought the dock and It's kinda useless with out the desk clock features,I'm running synergy.

I don't think it's possible to activate any home dock automatically unless the dock has something built into it for when you connect it which idk exist yet for the Thunderbolt but I could be wrong about that. There are apps out there that can be used as a dock app you would have to open the app like you would with any other. But some has a feature that it automatically activates whenever its connected to a charger including the home dock.

Is there an app or hack that will prevent the Nexus One from locking the screen when place in the desktop dock (similar to what it does in the car dock)?
Thanks.
This may or may not work I don't have a desktop doc I'm just guessing but if you go to settings -> applications -> development -> and check stay awake since that is supposed to stop it from sleeping during charge and the doc charges it, it may work.

Nope, I already have that checked, and it doesn't work.
It's not the screen staying on that is the problem, it's the screen locking.
When I insert my N1 into the dock, it automatically launches the clock app. The screen stays on, and all is well. However, when I try to do something on the phone (besides stare at the clock) like click on the home icon on the clock screen, the lock screen appears.
I basically want it to work like the car dock: If my device is locked, it remains locked when I put it in the car dock. If my device is unlocked, it remains unlocked when I put it in the car dock. (The screen stays on in both cases, as it does in the desktop dock, so there is no issue there.)
Have you tried anything with Tasker?

No, actually I have never used Tasker. Can it solve an issue like this (as minuscule as it might be)?
By the way, when the phone is in the dock, and I unlock it, it stays unlocked. It only locks (after the delay I have set) when the clock is activated. For example, when first placing it in the dock, it will launch the clock, and after, say 1 min, it will lock (although I don't know that it's locked until I exit from the clock app, or remove it from the dock).
I would say Tasker is probably capable of doing this. I have Tasker set up to do a number of things when I connect to the car dock, so it can't be that much different (I don't have a desk dock)...
Locale works just as well too
I guess I'll check out both tasker and locale.
But just to be clear: I want to keep the screen set to lock (with a PIN) after 1 min. I just don't want it to do so once I place it in the desktop dock (similar to what happens by default when I place it in the car dock) .

Yes, you just set Tasker to perform (or in this case prevent) an action based on a condition (phone is in dock).
You should try Screebl, it reads your phone's sensor and decides to disable lockscreen when your phone is up, and enables lockscreen when your phone is flat on table.

Does the D3 still use magnets to invoke the dock software? I get screen rotation when the keyboard is closed and i place a magnet with a certain polarity in the lower left corner (opposite the volume rocker) of the back of the phone. it acts like it's going to do something, and then nothing.
No, I don't believe it does.
There are a multitude of "dock services" that run, I believe it now reads a connection on the USB port and determines it's dock state (ie...dock at home can be set to bedside dock, dock at work can be set to Productivity mode, etc..).

yeah, that's what i thought, but i wasn't sure if there was an ID in the dock, and then it used the old magnet trick to actually launch the app.
ok then the next question is, is there an app that will invoke any of the docks? was thinking of getting that exomount instead of a proprietary car dock, that way i can stop "wasting" my money. but without a way to invoke any of the docks, it kind of makes it pointless.
Dock Simulator is free in the android market worked for me on both the home and car dock.
I found a little issue in all ROM which I used before and also in ROM which I'm using now. I think that everyone know Car Mode which is a special navigation menu to the car in our phones. The icon of this app looks like the car wheel. I have a little problem with this application:
1. I'm using a WidgetLocker app but with default lockscreen I have this issue also.
2. This problem is happend when I want to unlock my device.
And finally what's the problem? This app will starts spontaneus. I don't know why and I can't explain. Where is the problem? And always when I press EXIT CAR MODE in this app, I have still a notification icon. Strange problem I think. I don't have any program which have this function.
Do you have a cover with a magnet in it?
Yes I have. This is the reason? Are you kidding me?
Magnet activates car home, it's how the official car dock functions.
I want to deactivate this

I'm not using the official dock for moto x but use CarHome to place phone in car mode. Whenever I use phone dialer while in car mode it only appears in portrait and does not show in landscape like previous phones. Same happens when moto assist is activated while driving. Any ideas?
Thanks.

I'm using a magnetic adapter for my charging cable, but the phone detects it as a dock, and turns on autorotation even when it's turned off. Is there a way to get rid of dock mode?

There is an xposed module Disable Desk Dock for your problem.

I don't have a desk clock set up so there's nothing top disable. I just need to disable autorotation when I connect the magnetic charger.
I'm on Lollipop, so Xposed is not an option.

In my case, I install the app "screen off and lock" from playstore, activate it correctly. Then when you conmect your magnetic cable, there will be the pop up asking you want to use the daydream (dock mode) or screen off and lock. Choose nothing, then use your phone normally.
If you can find the other app can interphere the default off the day dream app, it would have the same result.

Can you double check the screen rotation after you plug in the cable? Can you actually disable it?

everytime I connect the magnetic cable there will be the pop-up menu asking me to choose dreamday or screen-off-and-lock.
I just click the empty space and use my phone normally

It asks and i can continue using phone but the phone still rotates even though its set to portrait. It doesn't solve the problem of putting the phone in forced auto-rotate mode when connecting with magnetic charger of any kind.

Sorry to reply to this older thread - but maybe still interesting for some.
And yes - I kown there are some Xposed modules for it. But some do not what to run Xposed at all or keep the modules as low as possible.
Decompile: /system/framework/framework-res.apk
And open following file with Notepad++
\res\values\bools.xml
and change
<bool name="config_deskDockEnablesAccelerometer">true</bool>
to
<bool name="config_deskDockEnablesAccelerometer">false</bool>
recompile and replace the original by the modded one...
Please note:
This is only to show were to change it! Please do not ask "how to de- or recomplile" here...
Use google to find out if you are not able to do it.
