[REQ]Google CarHome apk for ICS - Galaxy S II Themes and Apps

Hi!
I'm running CM9 and wanted to install google carhome. It's not available in my country so i googled it and found the apk file. But after installing i do not see icon in the app drawer. On GB roms there was a carhomelauncher.apk but i can't install it on ICS roms. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I just did a search on PLAY (market) and I had no results for Google Car.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.carhome
Try this link. But it says that app is not compatible with my device.?!

One lf these runs perfectly on my S2 with CM9 nightly.

Moving the launcher app in system/app did the trick.
Thanks.

How come?? I have the same issue and have been trying to install car home on my MS cm9 but can't install launcher app. I did move it to system/app but still won't install.
can you explain in steps what you did, please? thanks in advance

Move it to system/app and set permissions rw-r--r--. Reboot and enjoy. You must have carhome.apk installed before that.

Alternative Google Search Widget & black themed market

When i had my DHD, i loved Revolution Theme by he_stheone64
one thing i missed when moving over to my beloved SGSII was the themed Google search widget.
I pushed it staright to system/app/
and it works beautifully.
Thought id upload it here.
For some reason you get 2 icons added to app list, Maybe needs looking at.
But Market works as far as i can tell
Been wanting this for ages. Thanks alot

Do you have anymore loving the black theme mate
EDIT: market search didn't work for me so I used root explorer event to vending.apk and changed owner to 1000-systems, rebooted and all was fixed. Love the new look

Right figured it out. Open root explorer navigate to system/app find vending.apk hold for options
Click permissions
Set user group and other to read
Set user write
Then untick all other boxs.
Hope this helped

Is this particular tw4 as ram hungry as the others? As that really puts me off any rom using it as they are always more sluggish than those without it.

Does the stock Power Monitor Widget from Samsung work with your TW4 launcher?
Ok I didn't want to reply so soon but I have found a bug: when you change the amount of dock icons the system crashes forcing one to do a hard reset.

Absolutely incorrect. It works flawlessly on Gingerbread. No idea about ICS.
Try to delete the market vending.apk from Root Explorer, /system/app, and re install the apk. Should work.

It's the almost the 'same' app as the DSP-manager developed by the Cyanogen crew. Try searching for 'beatsaudio' here on XDA.
There are a few posts with cwm installable packages and additional 'libs and bins' to adjust sound quality and bass levels. Some packages are placebo's....

Heard about it but never tried it.
Does it work with all apps that use sound or only with the Apollo music player like the DSP Manager?
Also works with Google music en Sony Walkman app. Be careful with flashing CWM packages, some files included may cause bootloops. To be sure, open the zip and delete the folder framework if its present. Rezip the files en flash in CWM. In my case the folder and its contents caused an endless bootloop after flashing.

Its available on play store also , so why ru posting the apk ?
This app is in the android development and hacking with a complete zip with libs. This thread will be closed for not posting credits.
