Car Mode Control (v. 1.3) Разработано IG88 Apps |
A simple launcher icon that enters or exits car mode. This app does not provide a Car Home, it just puts your phone in car mode. Upon entering car mode, most android phones attempt to launch an alternate home application. Being in car mode changes the home button on your phone to return to that alternate home application. That is all a part of the Android OS. Again, this application just forces the OS into that mode.
Works on eclair, froyo, gingerbread, and now honeycomb, provided your phone was already capable of car mode.
I've had trouble with this functionality embedded in Car Dock Home v3. Even google seems to keep their app that enters car mode separate from the market app that acts as a car home.
If you are on a froyo or better phone and have the Google 'Car Home' icon in your launcher, I recommend using that to enter car mode.
I'm compelled to make this free due to the functionality previously being in Car Dock Home v3 (free)

[2012-06-07] Andrew: Perfect I made my own car mount, has suede holster for phone, and it looks much better than plastic crap from Motorola. Only missing thing was this, couldn't be happier with application. Great work! |
|
[2012-06-03] Captivate: neat, and works great with Llama ! The perfect way to tell Llama you are in your car when you don't use docks or bluetooth. Just one tap on Car Mode Control makes Llama turn on my brightness and speaker to the max. Another tap deactivates car mode, which is again detectable by Llama. Thanks for not making it widget (which wastes resources). Creating a shortcut to this app on a home screen is the best way to call it. |
|
[2012-05-24] Andrew: Not good Made my home button always open the car app. |
|
[2012-05-23] DJ: The best alternative! I have the motorola car mount for my bionic but it stopped launching car mode. This is a perfect solution for the problem or for non motorola car mounts! You have to remember to toggle the app off or else hitting the home button will only take you to car home. |
|
[2012-05-17] Mac: Great Thanks developers for your hard work, app works great except that it will not show favorites from the "Calling" screen. Fix it and it will be a 5 star. |
|
[2012-05-08] DJ: Works on my DROID 3 The launcher only toggles the home button for l aunching the Motorola car home app. |
|
[2012-04-28] Fritz: photon 4g Great way to use car mode on phone without buying expensive car dock from Motorola! Only wish that when you hit "Close" icon, it actually closes app so when I hit home button, it doesn't open car mode. |
|
[2012-04-23] StarGateWorld Inc.: Actually works! Works on the galaxy nexus ... :) |
|
[2012-04-20] Charles: Epic fail. DROID RAZR maxx crash every time. Uninstall. |

|
[2012-04-06] s: Great app Developer definitely worth donating to |
|
[2012-04-05] Steve: Does exactly what its supposed to! A very much needed app for my droid razr maxx. I use an otterbox and it simply won't fit in the car dock with the case. I got a generic mount and have smart actions launch it when it connects to my cars Bluetooth then launch again when it disconnects. :) car dock heaven baby |
|
[2012-04-01] Nichole: P.O.S. P.O.S. |

|
[2012-03-12] Felix: Awesome! Droid Razr Maxx. It sometimes doesn't work. I have to reboot my phone to make it work again. |
|
[2012-03-10] Nate: Good Doesn't give speaker phone on Droid X2 either ..... everything else is great !!! Looking for this exact thing . Thanks |
|
[2012-03-07] David: Not for lg optimus q Installs and you enter car mode, but does not enable speaker phone on lg optimus q |
|
[2012-03-05] Mike Pepper ~ Computer Guy: Perfect! Exactly what I needed. Thanks. |
|
[2012-03-03] rrkyd: Great |
|
[2012-03-02] Sylvia: Just what I was looking for Took me a few times to realize it _toggles_ car dock mode & that I needed to click the icon again to make the home button go back to normal. Does what it's supposed to. Thanks dev! |
|
[2012-02-29] lyndonw: Didn't work on my HTC desire hd Didn't enable car dock mode when pressed. Removed :( |
|

|
[2012-02-24] caver: Good. Do what it say it does. |
|
[2012-02-23] William: Awesome! Dev. is definitely one of the best in terms of keeping apps simple yet completely functional and customizable. They are also extremely generous for giving us their hard work for free. You sir, have earned more than a dollar. |
|
[2012-02-19] Jacob: How to exit car mode To exit car mode, press menu>exit>apps>car mode. Recommend an upgrade that will complete this action by just menu>exit. Also, recommend an option to setup Navigation button to open VZ Navigator..These upgrades would increase my rating. |
|
[2012-02-17] Romel: Great! Just what i was looking for without the fluff! |
|
[2012-02-17] Dan: Doesn't work on Moto Electrify Cycles to car mode and back to screen. Car mode won't stay on. Running 2.3. Car mode toggle is apparently not included with Gingerbread. ???? |
|
[2012-02-14] Ivy: Awesome This is exactly what I have been looking for and thank you for no add ons or other bogus stuff. |
|
[2012-02-05] georgekaz: Excellent Car home and launcher wouldn't install from market.Downloaded apks and CarHome installed but launcher still refused to.This does the job the launcher should do.Simple but perfect.Thanks. |
|
[2012-02-04] Matthew: DROID Bionic Works good on my Bionic. I recommend it. |
|
[2012-02-04] Mike: Great This is what I have been looking for. |
|
[2012-01-27] David: Works After trying to figure out how to trick my Razr into car home mode, I started searching. Works fine but I almost gave up on it. It wouldn't work until I powered off and back on. |
|
[2012-01-26] Derrick: Puts my phone in car mode Car Dock Home v3 wasn't turning on my bluetooth or gps. With this installed my Samsung Captivate works correctly in car mode. |
|
[2012-01-12] the 1/14/2012 What Really what does it do again? |
|
[2012-01-07] Gerald: Does the trick! Are you using it correctly pondroid? Once you exit your car home app you need to hit the car mode control again to actually exit from car mode. Otherwise your home button will continue to open your car home app. Works great! Just what I was looking for on my Rzr. |
|
[2012-01-06] Pondroid13: WTF Why would i want to enter dock mode any time i press the home key. Uninstalled |
|
[2011-12-23] Justin: Fantastic. Works great on my Droid Razr. Perfect for testing dock apps. |
|
[2011-12-16] David: Doesn't always work For some reason, I have to run this app multiple times for the switch to car mode to stick. Otherwise, good app! |
|
[2011-12-14] Joe: Great. Exactly what I was looking for. Droid RAZR. |
|
[2011-12-06] Noel: Works on RAZR. Have to press it twice to launch on droid razr, but then is ok. How about a desk/media dock launcher too! |
|
[2011-11-29] Chris: Works in ICS / Nexus S / CM9a11 I used CM9 alpha 11, installed the older Google Car Home apk from my Nexus S using adb, but it refused to appear in the launcher. This Works! |
|
[2011-11-22] M: Works in ice cream sandwich! |
|
[2011-11-22] Jimmy: Works fine on Droid razr! Works fine on my Droid razr, pressing the home button launches the car home app that motorola hid in the phone (forcing you to buy a navigation dock) |
|
[2011-11-16] Nadya: Doesn't work on Droid Razr Just goes back to home screen when app is launched |
|
[2011-10-27] Adam: Perfect Exactly what I needed. Thanks. |
|
[2011-10-11] Tim: Works on Atrix Worked as advertised on Motorola Atrix. Regarding negative about the changing of the home key functionality: this is how it is supposed to work. That way you can run more than one program at a time. If you want to restore standard (non car) functionality, just press the Car Mode icon again following exit. |
|
[2011-09-30] baldmosher: A little clunky, But does the trick. Desire 2.2 |
|
[2011-09-29] David: Not for Bionic yet... This app is a great idea, however, only three stars because it has the same flaw as another app called "Bionic Dock": if you place the phone into any physical dock (Lapdock, HD, Car dock) and then pull it out and try to use Car Mode Control, the screen tries to rotate and then goes back to the regular interface. Solve this and I'd give 5 stars and send you $. I also discovered that Car Mode Control is a toggle - you have to press again to leave car mode and get back to proper operation of the home key. |
|
[2011-09-27] Stilly: Saved Car Home on Nexus S This app fixed the problem I had with Car Home not reconfiguring the home button on my Nexus S. Car Home working properly again thanks to this app! |
|
[2011-09-04] mombof: Works DROID X2 Motorola just can't get it together. Thanks for making this app. |
|
[2011-08-18] Louis: Useful Would be 5 stars if it would restore the system settings it changes on launch. |
|
[2011-08-16] Louie: Keeps telling me force close |
|
[2011-08-03] Bonzo67: Good app. Would be even better if it could clean up car settings such as bluetooth, speakerphone and wifi when exiting. |
|
[2011-07-23] ascl: does what it says it does |
|
[2011-07-22] Kudazo: Exactly what I was looking for! |

|
[2011-05-08] Chris B: Lacks drag & drop to move items; must delete & then re-add. Otherwise 5 stars. |
|
[2011-04-27] Chris: thanks running custom gingerbread thought i lost car home but this gets me back to it sweet |
|
[2011-04-24] agentorange: This app made google car home accessible.again on my phone running a custom gingerbread ROM. Thanks. |

[2011-04-12] MAJ28: Some options wouldn't hurt, but does it's job. Thanks! |
|
[2011-03-18] Ianarus: Does what it says!! Has to be combined with a car home app like Navipanel, otherwise it wont work. Flawless on htc desire 2.2! Good work. |

|
[2011-02-04] Glenn: Great Simple App A great simple app that makes it easy to test/setup your car mode comfortably sitting in your favorite chair, rather than distracting you from your driving. Not really a necessity, but really handy to have. |
