Download the GoogleApps from CM6 nightly and then unzip it, there is 2 CarHome apks in there you need to install. I have it running on leeDROID Sense rom and it works flawless

Downloaded it 4 times and tried ES File explorer and ApkInstaller. Gives me an error message (a problem occured during the analyse of the kit or something like that).

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*

Does the Car Panel also work in landscape?
Perhaps I ought to mention that I'm on a standard HTC Froyo Rom too.

I found a way to force the OTA update.

I have searched around and I couldn't find anyone that has mentioned this before. If you really want the JI6 and don't want to use Kies and when you hit the "software update button" it shows "no firmware" I found a way to force it.
*****JI6 bricks a lot of phones. rooted or unrooted... so be careful! I would unroot and remove any lagfixes just to be safe. If you're phone gets bricked it is not because of this method. it is because JI6 has issues. if you do get bricked... check out this thread: forum.xda-developers [dot] com/showthread.php?p=8522603#post8522603****
**DUMMY PROOF INSTRUCTIONS!**
If you already have launcher pro:
1) goto your homescreen.
2) menu key, add.
3) hit shortcuts and then activities.
4) scroll down to device management
5) select "com.wssyncmldm.wssAppDmUiMain" and hit ok
6) this will put a shortcut on your homescreen that will say device management with blue and red arrows.
7) open that shortcut up and hit software update.
if you don't have launcher pro or don't know what it is.
1) goto the market.
2) search "Launcher Pro" or "Federico Carnales"
3) look for a yellow icon with a house on it.
4) install that.
5) once installed hit your homekey. select launcherpro but don't select use as default until you fall in love with launcherpro ;]
6) then, follow the steps above

Wao...thanks
Wating for froyo now

Is this for all countries or just the current?

I'm pretty sure its just for the states.
however i was messing around in the settings of that shortcut... and it apears that you can mess with the DM server connection settings and you can mess with a bunch of stuff... so maybe if you change the APN to whatever carrier you are using it would work??
Try it. follow my steps above. goto settings then DM connection settings and edit the network profile apn settings.

This might lead to other cool stuff down the road as well... there are some really cool settings in that shortcut. you can change it to "lab" and "production" profile... so maybe we can get a leaked froyo a little early??

Same thing here! I am completely new on this.
What's launcher pro? I have the American Vibrant but I am using in Germany. Would it work?

This worked for me. Good post. Downloaded Launcher Pro from the market (Free), and then followed these directions. Immediately my 3G arrows were working overtime, and withing 3min I had the OTA available message.

the wssappdmuimain is the first shortcut. Just select it and say ok. It should place a shortcut on your home screen that says device management with a blue and red arrow. Then open that shortcut and hit software update.

Maybe in blind but where is the activities shortcut?

Followed intructions to the T. I would suggest doing it over WIFI.
I click on the shortcut and received the update in less than 2 mins.
Installation over WIFI took 4 mins. Hung at the S screen for 3 mins.
Kept all setting and apps, everything works. GPS locked onto 8 out of 12 sats in less than 10 seconds.
3g signal is increased, wifi signal seems to be increased as well..
Awsome find.........

The list is alphabetical... so... yeah. right under Daily briefing and DataCreate...
are you in the launcherpro activities list?

Well didnt work for me . I hit software update... the same arrow appear on the top of my phone but they disappeared like in 3 secs! Nothing happened afterwards.
As I have said, does anyone has idea if this would work being overseas? I have the American version, because I bought in NY on Craiglist... But right now I am in Germany.

Try this. homescreen > menu key > settings > wireless and network > mobile networks > access point names
What does it say? whatever is selected and if your data is working... write down that APN.
THEN. if you still have the device management shortcut on your homescreen. go into that. select settings then network profile then for the APN change it to whatever you are currently using for your german carrier.
let me know if this works. if it does not and you need to revert the settings the tmobile apn is: epc.tmobile.com

might be a bit of a n00b question but what is no-sense. I thought most the things (facebook/twitter etc) require sense to work?

Not at all, they require SENSE only for the integration with the SENSE widgets, facebook et al work just fine without the bloat of SENSE. Personally I don't like the blink and resource hogging that goes along with SENSE and am quite happy with a vanilla rom, but then thats why I run CM7

I found no-sense while looking at the Android Revolution thread and ran it. It installed Go Launcher, which I like in combination with Auto App Organizer. Anyway, what happens if I go into Go Launcher and tell it to Exit Go Launcher? There's no Sense UI, so what do I get dropped into, if anything?

You get dropped to the last used open application. Launcher is just another app, it's not really more special than any other, except the assigned home button and perhaps bigger priority, that's just how Android works...

Go here and follow all instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107499. This will make the option to install non-market apps straight on your device (HTC Aria) appear!!! Enjoy!
Known issues:
- Unable to send/receive mms (since settings are erased - maybe re-inputting them will enable it again?...)
- HTC Wallpaper list disappears (These wallpapers can still be accessed in their root folder - system/customize/resource)

I tried this on two Arias running 2.2 and it worked, but it disabled the HTC Wallpaper section options (the select screen comes up but there are no wsllpapers shown) and the MMS send/receive also doesn't work. As hard reset fixed these issues but also removed the "unknown sources" option.
I can load wsllpapers via the live wallpapers and gallery options, but I can't fix the MMS issue.

it did work for me to unable 3rd party apps installation although it did reset the wallpaper and made the wallpapers disappear from the list but who cares.. I dont use MMS feature, so cant comment on that..

I'm glad I waited for more replies.
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.

If u rooted ur phone you would not need this and rooted phones have been able to do this for quit sometime now. Duh!

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.

Awesome! This should be placed on the 2.1 thread, the percent icon is butt-ugly.

Had to restore the precentage icon... after applying this, I lost the selection box for gallery etc... like when you click video or image from a file manager, android asks for what program to open it with (if you have not set default program)... this dialog seems to open in background... the screen darkens etc. But it will not bring the selection box in front.. also setting the wallpaper will not show the cropping screen...
After restore, all is OK

Also, maybe a stupid question/comment... this rom is deodexed, should this be done just by replacing images not the whole apk... or have I misunderstood the deodexing?

I'll have te dig into this as I get to my Xoom. I'm not sure about the deodexing... I tough that as the apks are like zip -files and they contain all the resources needed, like images, that the system apks would have been "unpacked" to the system thus making theming easy... but with quick reading on my phone while walking the dog, it seems that deodexing is more complicated...
