Default [Q] Poll: AOSP desk dock app or Samsung desk dock app in Superclean?

So, I don't have any docks, and finding someone who does, that can get back with me is rough.


Pros of Samsung Desk App
Audio out
Daily Briefing (news, stocks, weather, calendar)
Can show clock or calendar as default.
Can set separate wallpaper.
Music
Gallery access


Cons
Requires extra packages to work properly, including samsung music player.
Does not include a screensaver.
Is kind of ugly.

Pros of aosp Desk App
Audio out? (I enabled settings for the dock, choose settings. Cannot confirm they work as I dont have a dock).
Alarm
Gallery
Music
Has night time mode
Screensaver

Cons
Less options

I have a dock. I don't use the audio out function, so I prefer the options of the AOSP clock if I had to choose between those two. I don't think the AOSP clock would work with audio out, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

What would I really use? The Alarm Clock Plus V2 app from the Market, which is generally the AOSP clock on crack.

There are audio settings I added to Settings for the dock in Superclean. So it may work with audio out. I've no way of testing.

I'm on 2.7 SC and have my phone in the dock at the moment. If I try to look at the dock settings I see the Audio menu you are talking about, it is grayed out though. Tried with and without the output jack hooked up.

I got the same results as well. The toggle for docking sounds works.

I have both the car and desk docks so audio out is a must. One thing that people may not be aware of though is that the Samsung music player has it's own audio out button that works very well independently of the dock. Surprisingly, I have found that I really like the Samsung music player...I use it in my car instead of Power Amp Pro. The things I like about it are that the Album art is full screen, giving plenty of real estate to swipe through songs. It also has EQ presets, plus a custom setting, plus 5.1 stereo mode for headphone usage. Since the music app has it's own audio out button, I really don't have any use for the standard dock apps. Also, as a side note...one of the things I've done for a long time is use Launcher Pro Plus and Tasker to make a "pseudo" car dock app. Tasker has LPP support in that it will take you to a predefined homescreen page when it is connected to the dock you assign in Tasker. I typically set up a page (like page 7) that I never use for anything else and put my music widget and commonly used "car" apps on that page.
