WHat is the name of the "car home" app that you can use while your are driving? Or does that only come with certain versions of Android.

Pretty sure it's just Car Home, and it is just on some Android. Most CM roms seem to have it though.

Edit: I'm fairly sure that Google dropped support for it in ICS, you could recreate it with widgets, or find the apk

Soundhound was that app for me then Google had that big 10 cent sale and it was one of the apps. Bought it, uninstalled Amazon and never looked back.

Hell, it's not compatible with my LG Viper, and that's stuck on GB 2.3.7.

Car Home is actually built into my Nexus S 4G, it's been there since GB...did they just randomly remove it or something in future devices?

It isn't native to my GSM NS or any other device I've had since the N1 (which had it). I haven't seen it since.

Edit: vvvvv what the hell? Carrier image maybe?

Speaking of Car Home, is it okay to uninstall it? It's flagged as a system app so I want to make sure that removing it won't break anything.

It's fine on my GNex. I grabbed the apk from the car dock thread on XDA. When I'm not running around, I'll scare up the package and post it if someone else hasn't done so already.

I don't really know how to find good apps. All the various "top" lists on the play store always seem to be cartoony games that I'm not really interested in.

I'm trying to figure out the best solution for a small business that needs to set up a fax without needing to add another line and at the same time have the ability to view these documents on the go. In short, I need an android app that will allow me to do this. I need an iOS app too but I'll save that for theiOS thread unless you guys know of any that are cross compatible.

So, I've been using Google Music for my running music. Now, Zombies Run! doesn't read playlists from Google Music, so I'm trying winamp. We'll see how this works.

If anyone likes feedly, or is looking for an awesome Google Reader magazine type app, you should check out the beta for ICS/JB. It took about a day to get an invite. Or you can just wait for the official release on the 10th. It's a huge improvement over the version that's on the market now.

I have to recommend the NASA App if only to have the APOD set to your background image every day. It's fantastic if you're a space geek.

It also has a satellite/ISS tracker and NASA TV.

Edit: sadly the video features require Flash. :(

Hi, please post your bug in this thread, maybe as a reply to Flopsticks post there. It would help to know what device you have on what version and what version of the app was installed.

Depending on what you're looking for, iTap Mobile Touchpad works great for HTPC-style things. Now that I have AirPlay I don't have a need for it but when I did it was the best solution I came across.
