G+_Nate Mandle Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 For some reason, the Google Car Home is not part of the nexus 4. Any recommendations for a good replacement that can show a bunch of big icons when the phone is connected to the car's bluetooth? #whathappentoGoogleCarHome #nexus4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Matt Wells Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 There are two APK files that you can download and side load. It does actually work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_James R Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 It wasn't compatible with the Galaxy Nexus, either. :( With my Nexus 4, I use CarHome Ultra. It has it's shortcomings. For example, if you're done navigating or in any app, hitting the home button takes you to the Android Home screen, not the CarHome Ultra's. My understanding is that's something burried in Android's coding and you can't overrule that anymore. The developer released a workaround as a seperate app that will take you you to CarHome Ultra's home screem, but it's buggy and lags. I don't bother with that and just put the app on my home screen to quickly get back to it. Otherwise, it's a good app as a car home. Oh, it is also trail, then a paid app. So that might be a detriment to you.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Matt Wells Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 The CarHome.apk you install like normal. The CarHomeLauncher.apk you have to copy into /data/app/ Works like a champ... after hoops.. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-eg2qejn25fa0tHbnl2Y2RFVUE/edit?usp=sharing https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-eg2qejn25fQmhGZ1gyMU9DMWM/edit?usp=sharing Let me know if these work out.
