So, I like the dock mode, but half of the reason I would use it is for a night clock. (The other half would be on my desk at work.) Considering, though, that the original HTC EVO 3D desk dock mode does not get very dim, it isn't very good for that purpose. I have been trying the Desk Clock Plus app, and I like that one except the buttons (Home, Menu, Back, and Search) do not shut off when it goes into its night mode. The one other thing I would very much like, is since I use Sleepmeter to record how much I sleep, I would need to tap its widget before putting the phone in the dock, and I often put the phone in the dock as I am getting ready for bed, so that wouldn't be ideal, either.
Speaking of ideal, the ideal would be to have a simple "Dock Launcher" program that kicks in when the phone is placed in the dock. It would need to be able to run widgets, as well as contain shortcuts for other programs. It would also be triggered by entering the phone being docked (entering dock mode), and terminated (both the dock launcher and any apps triggered within it) by removing the phone from the dock.
Anyone know of anything like this? (Unfortunately, I am not much of a programmer, so as much as I would love to just sit down and write something, it just isn't in the cards for me to do...)
