Any way to get "CAR HOME" - myTouch 3G Slide General

Now that we have root, is there any way to get the Nexus One Car Home app on the MyTouch Slide. That would be sick.

I seem to remember that you do not need root to install the apk. Search for it or look in the Nexus forums and you can get it.

Awesome. Got it. Thank you.
EDIT: I found it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6708891
Not perfect, but great overall.

I searched briefly (from my phone) and the one .apk I found wouldn't install on my phone. If you have an .apk that will install could you PM it to me or should I adb push the file?

Go here and download this:
w w w.kanged.net/mirror/gapps/gapps-passion-FRF91-signed.zip
(remove the spaces in www)
Unzip this file either in your phone or on PC then go to SYSTEM - APP. In there is 2 files "CarHomeLauncher" and "CarHomeGoogle" you need to install both of these using an apl installed like ASTRO. Thats it simple. I have it running on my phone am usin LeeDROID SENSE rom, works on all sense roms
Attached both the files here. Install them both and then you should be good to
very useful app.

I got it installed with no error on Offical Froyo Sense Rom. Probably works with Sense roms only, you should try the CM one, that should work even on nonSense ....
Which one is there an error with, Htc Car Panel or the Google Car Home? Car Panel does need Sense.
Which rom are you using to have errors with the apk?

I'm on stock ROM (with latest update).
Tried downloading gapps from CM but still have the error message. gotta admit I don't know why :s
i have the same errors here guys,tried both!!
First one posted works fine for me thankyou.
I tried both the HTC Car Home App, and the stock Google One. While I like the simplicity of both, one big letdown is that you can't change the shortcuts!!!
The HTC Car Home has only one screen with 6 shortcuts, but one is wasted on the Footprint App, want to replace that with a shortcut for example to dial my gf ! Anyone managed to do that?
The Google one is even worse, because while it has two screens, with the second hone having 3! empty slots, I havent been able to even fill these slots with custom shortcuts?
Anyone had more luck than me in finding a method of adding their own shortcuts?
It's crapware anyway. Just a screen with big icons. *shrug*

HTCLockscreen.odex

Hi guys, Can someone post the original HTCLockscreen.odex and HTCLockscreen.apk. I was playing with the phone root and HTCLockscreen.odex is no longer there. I rename it to HTCLockscreen.odex.bak, but after the restart is no longer there.
I found that after I took the apk and odex out, I was unable to reinstall them- I'm assuming your phone now has the stock lock but it's transparent. The best solution I could come up with was the Widget Locker app- I'm actually very happy with it- it's alot nicer than the stock unlock and the HTC unlock. The only thing I've noticed but haven't looked into much yet is that the genius button long press will unlock the phone, which is a bummer for when it's in my pocket (even though I have all the button unlocks disabled) Hope that helps! I think your only other solution would be to restore a previous backup that had the lockscreen intact.
I would but idk how to attach a file straight from the phone

Why would you ever want that horrid lock screen? Blocks half of the wallpaper.
Use rooted explorer for this. New app, kinda laggy but you can email, copy/paste the APKs and odex. NOT root explorer, its rooted explorer.

And I just cant part with this Beautiful Brunette!

I already checked my wallpaper folder all of them , and she's no where to be found!
She's somewhere in the ROM program, but no where I can get to or find!
Also if I take a snapshot of her with the Widgets, that,ll be no good unless I remove all of them, theres got to be a way of accessing this wallpaper photo of it clean, so I can add it to my wall Paper Folder.

if that is the default wallpaper for the rom you will be able to find it in the framework-res.apk use your favorite method to pull the framework-res.apk from /system/framework either to your phone or your computer. then unzip either using root explorer or 7zip (just right click and extract with 7zip on pc) then look in /res/drawable-hdpi the wallpaper will be named default_wallpaper.jpg or something to that effect.
Cheers

Nice, thanks shreddintyres, that sounds like a viable option, my only ? now is what to use to pull the framework-res.apk from the /system/framework, the rest Ive got a grip on, but Ill start reading until I figure out exactly what you just instructed, haven't EVER dissected a ROM yet, so I need to learn, so I can retrieve that Wallpaper, of course it sure would've been alot easier if it had been in the wallpaper folder, but I'll be a good learning lesson. If i really want to customize this ROM the way I want!

I use Root Explorer. Works perfectly. I actually just used this same exact method to pull the default wallpaper from Trigger ROM.
Yeah its in the framework-Res.apk as default_wallpaper.jpg. I meant to include it and several other dark ones but must have forgotten to add them.
EDIT; I've added a zip file to the OP of Simply Honey Pro that contains the extra wallpapers I forgot to include, including the one references here.

just call me Shred
there are 2 methods that i like to use.
Using the phone as eminembdg said use root explorer (one of the most useful applications you will ever purchase for your phone) go into the system/framework directory then at the top of your screen there will be a button that says Mount r/w press that now you will be able to read and right to that directory (do not delete anything you will soft brick). now scroll down to find framework-res.apk long press and select copy then navigate to some directory on the directory /sdcard and paste.
Using the computer you will use adb. this requires that you have the android-sdk installed.
reboot phone into recovery (cwm recovery works the best)
open command prompt on computer, connect phone to pc with usb
navigate to directory where you have the android sdk then navigate to /android-sdk/platform-tools
execute the following commands
adb devices (this starts the adb daemon and allows will indicate that your phone and computer are communicating)
now execute the following command
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk c:\<your chosen directory>
you now have the framework-res.apk on your computer
Cheers
It would be great for you , since you are interested, to try out those methods mentioned.
But... if all else fails, I could download the ROM and pull it for you, lemme know if you'd want me to do that for ya.
See my post above for easiest method.

With all due respect. I don't pay attention to whats posted down there when helping someone. A lot of ppl change their roms but don't change their sig.. Told ya the op would have most all the answers after all they made the rom
Thanks to ALL
To all the responders, appreciate all of ya, And Id like to pony up an apology to nomadrider123, I didnt mean to be rude, but after looking at it, [the responce] It certainly appears that way!
Anyway I got it done using a fresh download of the ROM , found the JPEG picture separated it, and uploaded it to the phone and then to my gallery, where it is now a file to be used as a wallpaper choice!
From there you choose it, and then Re-size it to fit right/save and there she is again!
Anyway Ive themed it already to a blue background, and then re-installed the Beautiful DAME as my wallpaper, and I now have a custom phone I really like and is easy on my eyes!
My only gripe now is I cant change the icons in TW, any suggestions on that?
IS TW a different animal, and needs a different software interface to MOD it?
And yes!! I'm a TW Fan. I love it! Navigates so fluidly!
I have installed on my phone ADW EX and Launcher Pro, And when I'm in TW GT Launcher I cant change the Icons, which doesn't make sense to me! So Ill figure it out or everybody here is quick with help! And Ill go with the soundest advice I get from Ya,ll! Again many thanks to all who gave!
Its a great feeling to customize my Business Tool, with minds all from all over the Globe!! Awesome community here!!
You have a couple of choices if your talking about changing your app icons. The first and simplest is to use ADW and chose a the with the icons you want. But since you like the TW launcher you'll have to change the icon of each app. You can open the AOL's just like you did to find the wallpaper. Same folder and its usually icon.PNG. if you use 7zip you can move the files around pretty easy. Just make sure and rename the new one the same as the old and stay away from the XML files unless your sure what your doing with it.
PM me if you or need more info.

I can load wsllpapers via the live wallpapers and gallery options, but I can't fix the MMS issue.

as long as I can download the .apk, its really not that big of a deal to me anyway. Just have to connect phone to pc, find the file, drag it to my computer and then install it with android injector. This works for amazon apps and any app I have download from here.

What .apk are you talking about? There is no .apk you download to unlock this option. You have to clear the data of two specific system apps to do this.

I THINK that he's talking about root not being that big of a deal as long as he can sideload...I'm pretty sure. Over a long time of being on forums, I have learned to read and understand the most incomprehensible of verbiage.
sorry, i was generalizing. basically if you can download the app, even if you cant install it from your phone, there is a simple method to get it installed when you get to your computer.
edit: yes, I was talking about how easy it is to sideload. just my opinion. easier to do than possibly lose mms options with this method to get the unknown sources checkbox.
just going to wait for the actual update. which better come soon. as it was supposed to be out before this thread even started.

The update was out before this thread started but only some (very few) people got it. So if someone can't wait for it, since it seems like no one else is going to get it, and they can afford to lose the mms setting (which could be reset manually), then they can do this method.

GenieWidget.apk (News and Weather app)

Over the years I've grown quite fond of the News and Weather app. Unfortunately, it seems that it does not come pre-installed on the Nexus 7 so I figured I would just move it from my Galaxy Nexus to my Nexus 7. Sadly, I cannot seem to get it to work...
What I did:
Copied GenieWidget.apk from my Galaxy Nexus
Moved GenieWidget.apk to my Nexus 7's /system/app directory
Modified the permissions of the .apk to 644
Rebooted
Any ideas?
grab a new apk online
it's working on my nexus 7
and i remember simply opening the apk, not having to put it in system and edit, etc
The new apk? I assumed the apk on my JB Galaxy nexus was the newest. You see, I would really prefer to install the .apk from my phone if at all possible as it hasn't been out of my sight.
Though, if could give me a link to the apk you're referring to I would appreciate it.
On a similar note, I seem to be having the same problem with both BrowserGoogle.apk and CameraGoogle.apk.
Any other ideas...?
