In the car dock (home screen that comes up when the Atrix is connected to the car dock) there are two screens with a total of 10 application buttons available. On my current ROM (alien #4) 6 of these are taken by default apps that can't be removed. Is there a way of removing these? Or replacing the car dock app with one that has all the app buttons available for custom apps?
Use Car Home from the market. It's a great app. and does everything you need.

That's great, thanks. I installed Car Dock Home v3, which works really well. My only criticism is that the UI isn't particularly polished compared to the stock app, but the ability to get rid of the default apps more than makes up for this!
As you can read in this thread:

The livedock enables the homescreen to be in landscape mode.
I was wondering if someone could find out how we can get landscape mode without the dock? I think if it's possible with dock it should also be possible without the dock in some way?
Same on hdmi

So if you put hdmi cable in the phone the homescreen is in landscape mode?
Is there not a developer who can find out how to enable it without hdmi/dock connected?
Maybe an app so the phone thinks a hdmi cable is connected?
Install GoLauncherEx.

Well I really love the SE launcher
Edit:
Ok, i found an amazing app:

If you force it to landscape mode you will have homescreens in landscape, app drawer, in-call screen, ...
It's an amazing app.
Only the lockscreen stays in portrait mode.
Must have app for the people who use their phone in the car in landscape mode!

Is there any way to enter car mode without a dock and without Rosie? I saw some people do it via NFC tag, but I was hoping to create a shortcut through Nova or something of the sort?

Haven't used an HTC device in a few years but picked up a DNA yesterday. One thing I was looking forward to was a chance to try the Sense car dock app which I've heard good things about. But I can't seem to find it anywhere. Am I overlooking something?

I am assuming you are talking about the app "Car". The icon is a steering wheel.

Right. But it's not on my DNA.
Wow that's weird I have it on mine.
Did you hide it via Menu>Hide Apps in the app drawer?
Once there you can uncheck it to un-hide it.
That is all I got, maybe someone else has an idea.

Most likely, you need to plug it into a car dock to activate it. The dock will trigger the app if it's installed.
I actually prefer ultra care home. Much more customizable.
Not in my app drawer either. Can see it in the settings>apps but can't activate it there.

I was going to ask that too. I don't have car app in the app drawer. But I see it in settings>apps>all. Same thing with the dock mode app. I'd love to be able to use them.
On the Rezound, for example, they're not in the apps, but if you touch search capacitive button in the bottom right corner and type "car panel" or "dock mode" you'll see the app in the results, and just touch it to start. Same with "mirror" app. But on DNA that trick doesn't seem to work.

Ok, I just tried again. You can do a search by pressing and holding the home button. Enable searching phone in the settings. Then just type an app name. It works for car, mirror, voice recorder (these apps are not in the app drawer)
You can also create shortcuts for them, for example, in ES File Explorer.
I still can't open dock mode. Is anybody smarter than me? I sure would like to use it.

I'm currently using the Nova Launcher and all those apps show up, but if I go back to the default sense one they do not.
Can you open the dock mode?
Sent from HTC Droid DNA
I emailed HTC about that and they said "We do understand your concerns with the applications not showing on the app tray. HTC is currently looking into this to determine what is occurring but we have no estimated time for a resolution to be reached."
Or when we get root it's not hard to get those apps to show in app tray

Can you try the dock mode from your launcher? Does it open?
Yup, for some reason when using Apex, or Nova Launchers they are shown just like all other apps. Very odd if you ask me?
htc has always wanted those apps to be dock specific to try and get you to buy their OEM docks.
I can also confirm that using a non oem launcher like nova and apex will get the cardock to show along with a mirror app and movie app among others. Now we need a wireless charging card dock... Lol js
You can launch the apps manually through Titanium Backup.
I can confirm both dock apps work.
Any chance someone could post a screen shot of the car dock app on the DNA?

So you can actually start the dock mode? I have no problem starting the car app through the ES File Explorer, but the dock mode won't start. That's strange. Any idea?

Using the app QuickShortcutMaker, you can search for “car” and then create a shortcut on your home screen,
it will put a shortcut of car app that is hidden in app menu on the home screen.
Is there a way to edit what is shown on the app? Personally I don't want the Amazon mp3 crap on mine. I prefer Pandora or slacker.

I disabled the amazon apps thru built it my apps feature.
