Yeah integers are expected as input....
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Settings - apps - all apps - obd2aa you should find version number there.

Verbal warning I think it's caused by torque actually and a bug in android Auto which does not mute the audio channels correctly... :)

To fix issues (regardless of which obd2aa version your using) visit the op and download the patcher...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] spiff72:
Thanks for the response. I just checked my version number at it is 2.0 B1 (which surprises me, since I didn't recall updating it recently - but i'm getting more forgetful as I age!)

And that "caution" thing is weird. I sort of suspected that it might be a Torque or OBD2AA thing, since it didn't usually happen until I was 5 minutes or so into my drive, after leaving an unheated garage. So if it is actually using an ambient temp sensor on the car, this would make sense (temp drops a few degrees after leaving home, and it then drops below the warning threshold).

I will be attempting the patch soon!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Just a quick update, finally heard back from Google, as expected app won't be allowed on playstore, so patching is the only way forward at time being...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] NU13:
I seem to be some what stuck. I've deleted AA 3.0 and am trying to download the previous version of AA 2.9. How ever i keep getting a message saying app not installed. Any suggestions?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
You don't have any reason to install previous version of AA.

All previous versions have/will stop work.. It is just a matter of little time. Google forcing everyone to update.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FormelLMS:
Hopefully they don't want to begin to whitelist the apps....

OBD2AA is the only app I need beside the official apps.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Hi. Sorry your question is about ambiguous. When are you getting the message that app is not installed? Also as it has been said you don't need to downgrade to AA 2.9 simply follow the patching instructions from the op.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
I don't think they will whitelist this app, but you never know.. I think the only one which have been whitelisted by Google is the AA youtube one.

Although there is a method with apk editor even then i think.. But things get very complicated then especially for paid apps..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
YouTube app was blacklisted.... That is the opposite technique of whitelist.

The main concept difference is that:

- blacklist: everything is allowed and works except those on the blacklist (banned ones)

- whitelist: nothing is allowed except those on a specific list.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FormelLMS:
And this is the point. If they go to whitelist.....
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] NU13:
I have successfully patched the app thank you Emil. I will try it in my car tomorrow and give feedback.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
You are right.. I have them a bit confused :)

Can Google use "whitelist" strategy really? Let's say after some years AA has 1 million apps. What is going to happen, for every app before it run to search it's name if it is in the white list for work or not?

Wouldn't this have other disadvantages, perhaps more time for an app to load, etc?

I don't know that much and i am probably wrong but it doesn't look as a good strategy from google side..

Edit.. But probably this is going to happen only for apps outside play store? Then things would be easier for Google i suppose..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Ish... a whitelist can be a simple list JSON format for example and server side controlled. The only "problem" with that implementation is that it will need an internet connection for AA to be able to fetch the list at every startup. PlayStore on it's own it's a kind of whitelisting...

But let's not worry about what can happen, since we are only guessing.

I hope/think that this patch will work for a long period of time and if nothing major happens (aka youtube player and other similarities) I don't think Google will take more radical steps.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jb.traveller:
Emil, Lets hope the someone doesn't reverse engineer your patch and get youtube etc running. Remember we are on XDA.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Gunde:
I wonder how martoreto got AA Passenger approved...

Edit: yes I do - of course it's only the companion app :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] pdario:
This will happen, for sure.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
His app consist of 2 apps, one which sits on the device running Android Auto and one which sits on the passenger device. The one which sits on the passenger device does not require any access to Android Auto so that is available on playstore, the other app which sits on the device running AA, needs to be installed same way like this (and any other 3rd party apps) which means his app also stopped working...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I know, I just hope by that time I figure out another way which won't involve pathing, I do have one idea, but not sure if it's possible, I need to spend more time on it, wich I'm lacking right now....
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jb.traveller:
May be limited access to the patch via DB of who has paid or is that to simple.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] takmsdsm:
Are we talking about the actual app on phone being updated to 3.0 or the car? my car has been on AA 3.0 since December and that was before I was using this app. I used it with no problem on my nonrooted pixels and now my rooted pixel. Have not updated aa on phone yet.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
We are talking about android Auto on the phone.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Jonesy66:
Sorry guys am i being silly here! I have updated to the beta version but I'm getting a message app not supported to patch it, then directs me here for patching instructions but no patch to install?. Please help adrian i love this app on my Ranger.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jb.traveller:
@ jonesy66 Read post 1302 Emils reply to my post.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Details on how to patch available in the op
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Jonesy66:
I have followed the details but now i can't open OBD2AA to go to developer to allow patch to be installed!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
You don't allow developer from inside the app you need to do it from your phone settings.

Open settings on the phone, go to About, tap the built version 7 times till you become a developer. Leave the about menu, now you will have a developer menu from there select enable usb debugging.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Jonesy66:
Yep done that (Sorry was talking about wrong place before) but still i get a message saying haven't got drivers installed!!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Not too much I can do about that. What phone is it and what windows are you using? It's 1;15 am now so probably I won't be answering till tomorrow.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Jonesy66:
Ok thanks for your help. I have attached a screen shot of my phone to show developer mode and usb enabled but still i can't install the patch! Will chat tomorrow?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] NU13:
I'm back up and running with the app thank you Emil.

[MENTION=224120]Emil[/MENTION]

I know that I was a little harsh very early in dev.

I've been dabbling with this app for the last couple weeks or so and it's been working great. A 180 from my original experience. Original gripe recanted!

*I do need to try an alternate BT adapter though to see if the gauges update more reliably.

**I know this isn't a Torque thread, but it would be nice to hear some feedback on experiences from what hardware works best or not great to avoid.

Confirming that the latest app of a couple days ago successfully patched AA 3.0 and is working just like it did prior to AA 3.0.

*Pixel 2, stocked rooted with ElementalX.

I've definitely been enjoying seeing this info on my head unit!! Thanks for all your talented and hard work!

Looks like there is a limit of 4 columns of gauges. Going from 8 to 12 simply adds a 3rd row. There is a pretty large space between the columns. Is there any way to make 5 or 6 columns instead to maximize real estate?

Also, some of the data I like to see doesn't need a gauge perse, and I rely on the numerical value. Is it possible to create a gauge design where the numerical value is large and prominent?

Also, I added a custom background (not gauge) and this shows up just as it should which is awesome and no trial/error or image edits to get working! Nice!!

Thanks!!

I have been unable to successfully run the patch. I am using a Mac running VMware windows 7. It says USB debugging not on or drivers are not installed and both are.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Send me a private message or better an email to borconie@gmail.com
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] emersonmsd:
Just Google Android Auto 2.9 apk. It's on APK mirror.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Yes but that is only a temporary solution sooner or later AA 2.9 will stop working, with the patcher you don't need to worry about that.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] emersonmsd:
I will try the beta tomorrow with my not rooted S7 and a Windows pc.

---------- Post added at 10:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 PM ----------

I will try the beta tomorrow.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
The patcher will work with any version of obd2aa so you don't need the beta. The beta is nothing more than the same app with a build it patcher for root users. Hope it makes sense...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Jonesy66:
Emir you legend yet again. Thank you so much for all your help sorting my issue out. It was my work lap top that was causing the issue! I used another lap top and now the app has patched correctly?. Your work is amazing thank you so much again for your help and I now have my dash back how I like it
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] NU13:
Hi Emil,

I have just discovered a TPMS system active in your app. When OBD2 AA is running via the headunit go to the hamburger menu in the top left and you'll find an option for TPMS. Do you have any info about this Emil or is it a Torque option?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
You do have a tpms setting in n the app if your car supports it and you know the pids you can display the tpms data....
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] badabing2003:
Thanks

Is there an easy way to determine if the car supports it?

If the obd device supports it?

And how to determine the pids

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
That's car specific. I know some ford do, but not sure about the others, best place is to search car specific forums
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DavidFB1973:
Problems showing the data on AA

Dear [MENTION=842765]Emil Borconi[/MENTION],

First of all, thanks for developing this huge app!

I have installed on my phone:

-Torque Pro

-CamSam Plus

-OBD2 for AA (version 2)

and I have an OBD2 reader installed on the OBD port of my car. I've checked that Torque Pro app reads data correctly. However, the data is not shown in Android Auto: every gauge shows a 0 value. I've tried to enable the option "Alternative pulling", but the result is the same: no data is shown on AA.

How should I try next...?

Thanks in advance!

David.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I only saw that in one case when TorqueService was crashing/dying in the background, please see the instructions in the op on how to generate a bug report, and send it over to me so I can analyze it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] badabing2003:
Resetting the configuration could help, I had cases where somehow my imported settings failed to show any data, resetting then adding back the PIDs solved the issue.

I could have been a corrupt backup on my part, but it doesn't hurt to try.

Did I understand that right: After rebooting the phone, I do not have to reapply the patch?

Thanks for the heads up.

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 PM ----------

Did I understand that correctly? Rebooting the (non-rootted) phone does not require to patch the app again.

Thanks for the heads up
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Correct.

You will only need to re apply the patch, when you reinstall or update the app.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] amarinos:
Me and a fellow Fiesta owner will try to apply patch this afternoon, and hopefully report back with succesful results ;)

For me, this will be done on a non-rooted S8, which is what I understand this patch is for (unrooted), and on latest stable, is it OK ?

Love the new gauges btw, excellent work !!!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Correct, patch is for (any) version of the app for those who have non-rooted phones. Also if you are not rooted do not need to download the beta, just apply the patch to the latest stable version.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] andriy_:
Patch works fine for non-rooted Samsung S8. Suggestion - add adb kill-server or just kill any adb.exe running before running the adb from patch's package to avoid version mismatch errors.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] amarinos:
Verified that OBD2AA (latest stable) patched works just fine with the ΑΑ 3.0. A few points from my Kuga (MY2017):

- no oil temp and the corresponding PID appears "dead" (not green) so it means that Kuga doesn't have oil temp ? I guess....

- no PIDs for TPMS sensors, so couldn't setup the respective TPMS screen

- I knew it would be so, I just hoped....no PID for ΒΑΤ, crucial for turbo engines
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] SykomantiS:
Hi.

Thanks for a great app!

I tried the patcher and my AA now picks up OBD2 for AA as it should. Sadly I have to report though that the app (latest stable) doesn't seem to be compatible with my Huawei Mate 10 Pro - it simply shows a black screen and nothing happens. I didn't have this issue when using my previous phone, a Google Nexus 5X.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Sage:
wow great app thank you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DeanGibson:
Working on AA 3.0 on non-rooted phone w/ patch

[see subject title]
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] amarinos:
A small suggestion: it would be nice to be able to change the top-down image of the car in the TPMS screen, so each user could add an image of his own car ;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] emersonmsd:
Patched. All good again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Sage:
Great app. Just bought it off labs. I have a rooted nexus 5 attached to a golf mk7 with torque pro and a Bluetooth elm327. AA 3.x Though I only get speed camera not torque options. Nothing under the far right button other than "return to Volkswagen". What am I missing?

---------- Post added at 04:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 AM ----------

Got it working needed to do the adb install method even though i had root

Though my next issue is when i plug my phone into the car it automatically pairs the bluetooth with my car and disconnects the ODB2 blueooth device.. any ideas how i block that?

i even made sure it was paired properly with the odb2 before plugging it into the car and the car makes the phone drop the existing pairing and pair with the car instead.. ffs..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
For rooted phoned you can use the beta version of the app that takes care of the patching.

The Bluetooth part is AA on some cases like yours it resets the whole Bluetooth, nothing you can do about it,maybe other ROM. Please send me an email to borconie@gmail.com so I can issue you a refund.

Other option is to use a WiFi obd2 adapter.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Sage:
That's ok mate I don't want a refund. I'm sure I'll find a way around it. Looking at tasker right now looking promising
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kingcraft:
Just got my new KIA Stonic yesterday!

Works great with my S7, stock ROM and the patch.

Speed camera functionality is also working perfectely and very useful!

I took a picture, but I don't have enough posts to show it, maybe later...

I hope Emil can keep it working, this is one of best Android apps ever, thank you so much!

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Sage:
Can i ask what people are using as far as gauges? I like boost and coolant temp. What else is good to know?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] scoobdude:
I also watch intake temp, voltage and throttle (it you have fly by wire there will be more than one so I watch what the actual throttle body is doing not the pedal... Is quite interesting).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Seawatch:
Thanks, the only setting that I have in the torque app under units for Temps is a Check box that says use Celsius instead of Fahrenheit. This is unchecked! There is no check box to use Fahrenheit

this is the only conversion that is not working for me.. All others following native Torque unit settings, mph.. pound,... display correctly.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Ok will check.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
I installed the app last night and started to use it today and the engine coolant temp is not displaying correctly. If I look in torque the temp at the time of test if was round 180 deg f and the app is showing around 90-100 deg F. I am using the OBDLink MX with a 2017 Ford Explorer.

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Thank you for reporting I will investigate it ASAP.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
EUREKA!!!!!!!

Ok after a couple of sleepless nights I finally have some results:

[IMG="notifiaction 1"]http://i.imgur.com/4SVEVIy.png[/IMG]

[IMG="Notification 2"]http://i.imgur.com/VOaXs9J.png[/IMG]

There is still a LOT of de-obfuscation to be done and still a long road ahead, but now I can say for sure we will be able to have HeadsUp notifications as well and as seen in one of the screenshots we might have so called cards in home screen.

Now that I know it's possible I can focus my attention on getting the mentioned issued sorted.

Thank you for all the support given to work on this project.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] spiff72:

Just wondering if you got any response from the Torque dev on the issues with the wrong values being displayed?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
No not yet :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] MontAlbert:
This is awesome. Thanks for continuing to improve this. I'd still like to see the clock Hehe
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I have reached out to the developer of CamSam Plus to see if he is willing to provide some intents, if he does, I can integrate Speed Camera Warnings as well in Heads Up, but lets not celebrate before we get there, it's in the pipeline :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] chenks:
ok so i finally got my android auto headunit installed.

got the app set up and linked.

pressing the dial button on headunit brings up OBD2AA and i see the 6 dials, but with no data.

do i need to end PID numbers into the OBD2AA app on the phone first?

if so, where do i get this info from?

i already have various dials in torque that display the various data.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FormelLMS:
Woot? That would be absolutely fantastic! Are those speed cameras worldwide?

Using blitzer.de for Germany but unfortunately not on Android auto....

I would pay for this twice :)

---------- Post added at 03:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 PM ----------

On a normal Android head unit (not Android auto head unit) you can use the normal whole torque app.... :confused:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] chenks:
it's an Android Auto headunit, as i said in the first sentence of the post?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FormelLMS:
Oh, ok. Sorry... I was confused because of the dial button.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] chenks:
yeah the small dial icon bottom right when in android auto mode.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Hi.

You need to open the OBD2AA app on your phone before using Android Auto.

There you need to chose which pids you want to see in Android Auto, what colors for use for gauges, where should be the warning levels etc. Once you did all the settings there, close the app and connect the Android Auto that the gauges will display the details based on your settings.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] chenks:
yeah but where do i get these PIDs from ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
You need to have Torque Pro installed on your phone. When you tap on the PID field it will present you with a list of available PIDS (automatically read from Torque Pro).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] spiff72:
DELETED. My response was too late. ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] chenks:
yeah i have torque pro.

it's the "When you tap on the PID field" that i'm not following.

oh wait - duh.

i thought i had to do that in torque, not on ODB2AA d'oh.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] chenks:
OK got it to work, partially.

have the battery voltage and coolant temperature working.

also added revs but that stuck on 100 and never changed (torque displays revs fine).

then i went out of AA on the headunit and back in, and all 6 dials had frozen.

unplugged phone, reconnected, back in and only voltage and coolant diplayed and revs now at 0 and woulnd't change.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 1seniorgeek:
I have a Focus RS and ODBIIAA works fine for most PIDS.

I can get PTU and RDU temperature reading in Torque but using the same PIDS on ODBIIAA they don't work.

Also TPMS reading work fine in Torque but not in ODBIIAA. Do you have any ideas for me to try?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Hi.

Try going to settings and enabled "Alternative polling"
