Not sure exactly how hard what I want would be, but, I'd like to know if an app dev could repoint the Navigation and Maps buttons in the new DL30 car dock to the Google counterparts. I need the DL30 function to enable audio on my Samsung dock, but I refuse to use Bing/VZ Navigator. I imagine this would be much easier than fixing the desk dock to incorporate the audio button I need, but if someone has one or did it, I'd welcome both.

the google car dock works great. it points to the defualt apps. you need the stock music player to play music through the aux. i have the stock app for the music player and i use winamp as a widget on my home screen. the google car dock is more customizable than the stock car app.
I just tested, and indeed, this will work. However, if I ever need to navigate, I've got to open the music app, activate the dock, then go back to Maps. What would be REALLY FREAKING AWESOME is if I could swap out something on that app I'll never use, like Search, for a link to the music app. THEN it would truly be a 1 stop shop. Alas, I regret not learning a programming language in times like these. Google was supposed to release a 'build-it-yourself' software, but haven't heard anything on it since it's conception

you must still be using the stock car app. find a gapps, jt has one in his van froyo thread. install the card doc and cardock launcher. you have to delete the stock car dock before you install the google.
I tried the google car dock, but it doesn't have the audio switching link. My point is, I want a Google Car Dock that has that option. Or, if possible, a Google Car Dock that has the audio out button AND replaces Search with Music. Know of a way I can crash-learn to edit apk's?

you have to have the tw music player installed as well. you cant use the aosp music player.
google car dock
tw music player
I think you're missing my point....I know it will work if I keep either the TW music -or- the TW car dock. But that requires additional app switching. I'm looking for a one stop shop. Car dock, points to Google apps, has the audio icon, bonus if it replaces search button with Music link.

i got ya. maybe some one could make just that short cut so you dont have to open the music app at all. you just press that button and use what ever music app you want. i like the honeycomb music app but am stuck with the tw. hey great idea dude.

Yes an editable car cradle app that has the audio switch button. (and one does does not redirect output to the phone speaker if you exit the app)
Heck I wouldn't mind just having a widget that could turn on and off the audio to usb and not use the car app. I have a folder that has everything in that apps screen and more. If I could just turn on audio Id use that as my Car Home app. Someone give me a widget to switch audio to the USB and nothing more..Pleeassse
Might be time to actually try App Inventor
If you can get that to work, I will tip my hat to you x100. I first tried APK Manager, found in another xda forum. Opened both the stock and the google car docks, and tried copying the differing items in the main layout and the app calls, as best I could figure being a non-programmer. Of course, it was a flop. So, I extracted the icon images from the zipped apk, and tried App Inventor. I got the background loaded, the icons all appeared in a line down the left hand side, and I could only find functions to open the music player and contacts (I think). I can't help but think, the job would be a snap for someone out there with proper skills to replace Bing Maps with Google Maps, VZ Navigator with Google Navigation, and Search with Music Player. Til that day comes, I'll work with what we've got, then buy a Thunderbolt in a couple of weeks and give ole Sammy the bird, permanently
You could try this.
Rename your existing carcradle apk to carcradle.apk.old and drop this one in the system/app folder. It will point to google maps and nav ( first click you must select google nav but after it works every time.) cant help on audio as i dont use a car cradle.

Perfect... Thanks dude. I was also curious to see if this could be done. Does this support audo out via USB when docked? If not, no worries. Thanks again.
How do you get audio out with the usb? I thought the usb connection on the dock was just for charging and that the 3.5mm jack was for audio out...

its not the car dock app thats the problem. you have to use the stock music app. play a song there, press the little phone icon to make the audio come out the 3.5 then pause the music and then go play pandora or whatever.
Just thought I'd share with everyone this free widget on the market.
https://market.android.com/details?id=fr.wewe.android.oneClickWidget&feature=search_result
Yes, I know that on a lot of the ROMs you can put your phone in airplane mode and then turn on WiFi. With this widget you can do it right from your home screen with one touch and your Eris will go for days without a charge. Use it as an mp3 player, streaming player over WiFi or whatever you want and run any ROM you want
Has anyone found a better app for remote controlling your music.
the stock one is ok, but it would be nice to see the track listing.
Null
And maybe any good music programs to use with null rom, and non samsung phone?

I personally used M2D's manager app to send tasker intents from my watch to my phone and on the phone I have tasks for each control and use "Media Utilities" in the Play store to actually perform the actions as it has a tasker plugin. I also use it to send the currently playing song to my watch and display it with the Zooper widget. It's tricky and time consuming but there is a tutorial in the M2D thread in these forums.
Hi there,
As the title says I want to make a tasker profile such that I can switch the radio stations on the fly(while I'm cycling) even though I'm listening to another TuneIn station at that moment. The issue is: "I'm listening to some local romanian station, ex: Pro FM then I don't like that song and I want to change it to another station which is already on my profile as favourite...then again if I don't like that song either I want to switch again...I think you got my point. Right now I have 8 radio stations on my favourite list. I can put them all into an array and random them.".
Well, I installed autoapps and bought AutoVoice. I also set AutoVoice to intercept my vocal commands in prejudice of native Google Now but I am not able to make android listen to my voice while the screen is off and especially while I already have my headphones in my ears.
It's obvious that my screen will be off and with swipe lock pattern(I can set it to none for convenience) and I will also listen to another radio station with volume quite loud. Is there any recent way to accomplish this? Thanks in advance. Have a good day!
ps: If TuneInRadio doesn't have any useful intents to switch between radio stations and there is already another radio player better than TuneIn I will be glad to try that also ...I'm not sticked to TuneIn Radio although I saw an interesting intent through intent list:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="tunein.googlenow.actions.PLAY_RELATED_STATION"/>
......
</intent-filter>
Can we use this to our advantage?
Hi! Could you recommend an android app that is really AA compatible?
When I searched for it, I got only 2 results.
1st.: iHeartRadio
Since with this app I can't listen to the radio channels I'm looking for, I haven't even tried it with AA. Only on my mobile phone.
2nd.: TuneIn
It looked perfect at first glance, but only on my mobile phone. It does not appear at all in the AA menu, nor is it among the hidden apps.
(So this search result was invalid...)
Replaio radio is a really good one, and also supports AA...
Hi,
Simple radio or calm radio are working fine in AA
myTuner works well with aa and has many usual car radio channels from my region atleast, more than tunein.
I'm using following ones with AA:
Radiogram they are reactive when asked for adding missing radios
Open Radio
Transistor Basic but FOSS (F-Droid & Play Store)
TuneIn IS AA compatible (I use it already for a long time), charm of TuneIn is (at least with Dutch stations), that it cuts the very annoying pre-roll ads with ALL my (Dutch) stations.
As far as I have seen is TuneIn the only internet radio app doing this -and pre-rolls are irritating as hell, when browsing through my radio stations.
Just my 2c
