Google Car Home for rooted Android devices

image

For some reason, Android versions greater than 2.3 no longer come with the Google CarHome app. This is an app that gives your phone a simplified interface for easier use in-car.

To install on a rooted device, download CarHomeGoogle.apk

Copy it to /system/app, set permissions to -rw-r–r– (644) and user/group owner to root.

    that trick didn’t work for me, not sure how you use to launch it. What did work for me was installing the two binaries found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408023

    The trick worked fine for me, did you get the latest software patch on that app? I had to update mine before it worked, but it launches fine.
