[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Oki:
I have edited my post according to your request. Obviously playing video while driving is very dangerous, but since AA has a way to detect movement so it should allow these apps to be used using the on-board entertainment system while the vehicle is parked. Your app, on the other hand offers information very much like a weather app offers metrics about weather status and prediction and shouldn't be banned at any time.

Thanks for the info. I understand your current work not being public. Since I have no other way to get the APK, I will try to setup a building environment to test your app using the git you have shared.

Thanks!

You can change the name inside the APK using apps such as APK Clone from the Play Store or APK editor. Nonetheless, it is not a legit way and I see Emil wants to do things right. Using the same app id would be against rules.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Changing package name won't work either, I did a test to change the package name to match Seat Driver app package name, but that wasn't enough. Not 100% sure what are all the checks made by Google when whitelisting the OEM apps. I know how can I overcome that, but implementing that it's a bit longer then I hoped it will be.

I'm not against a video player for cars when they are parked (✋ brake applied) I'm against video while driving and it shouldn't be a simple button saying at you ok with it and just bypass it should be a complete and full big flat NO something which was continuously ignored by the other developer.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FormelLMS:
Most of them has wired the handbrake to ground.

Please have that in mind
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jb.traveller:
Easy to get round, just ground the H/B switch wire and then view video while driving. People will always think of ways to get round things.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Yamarocket630:
It seems to me that you could base it on GPS speed and make the app require location access. If it sees more than 0 miles per hour it disables itself.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Gunde:
Yep, and/or use the sensors in the phone.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Max-SK:
Hmm
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mikedmeyer:
We're over the 1 month broken mark at this point; any hope for a fix or is it time to start talking about refunds?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
At I have stated before I'm struggling with time lack and it's not the simple to fix it, when a company like Google put's it's mind to block it.

If you do want a refund please email me and I will issue you one.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Alphaelectric:
At this point I refuse to give up. It's been too cool a feature and suited for every day use. I have a job that takes a huge amount of time and can wholeheartedly understand that side projects can be difficult to incorporate.

Don't give up already folks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kingcraft:
Yes, please don't give up, even if it takes more time! Fully understandable!

Anticipation for my new car with AA was big, then the fun lasted just a few days , now AA just sucks without OBD2AA, thanks to Google itself!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FormelLMS:
Thumbs down for this.

If this is a failure from this developer here.

Blame Google. Blame the idiots start watching videos in their cars on the headunits.

He is Spending much time to create this app and it does have some good functionality.

So I know that Emil would refund but you get my personal thumbs down for this.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Yamarocket630:
Seriously. It was $2 anyway. I hope the app does come back, but I'm not going to whine about refunds and I only got to use mine for a week before it got shut down.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wbagdon:
If you refund this guy, email me and I'll cover the refund. I still find the notifications useful and it would be ridiculous to refund something completely out of your control.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] adfurgerson:
Just my opinion.....

Anyone that receives a refund should be barred from repurchasing the app once you get everything sorted.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Thanks all, this is what keeps me going :) don't worry I haven't given up, finally today I had my exams (passed both) so I will be hitting the road in a couple of hours (1600 miles or 2700km with a few stopovers) so I should be home by Tuesday evening. Once home I'm sure I will find some time for more development.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Alphaelectric:
Chapeau!!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Gunde:
No matter what app you buy, there' no guarantee it will work forever. Don't refund the fools.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] elbubi:
Hi Emil!

Glad to know you passed your exams, congrats on that!!!

Thanks for the effort in bringing the app back, I'm very confident you will succeed.

In the meantime, I wanted to ask you if CamSam on screen notification are supposed to be working despite google block. I noticed that they don't show up every time theres a fix speed camera as before. Is it expected to malfunction or I'm facing another issue besides obd2 block from Goolgle?

Regards and thanks in advance!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gh0st:
Looks like new android auto coming soon, and hopefully good news for developers...

https://mobilesyrup.com/2018/05/01/google-android-auto-io-2018-teaser/
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thescreensavers:
Hope this gets working again!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Mixbag I'm affraid. All notifications were totally gone, last night when I got home I saw there is a new AA version 3.2 and installed it, now notifications are seen on phone screen again, so not 100% sure.

I know that if you use HUR (Headunit Reloaded) the notifications works just fine (they did all the way from Romania to UK)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I had a look sadly that is focused on media apps, obd2aa and all other 3rd party apps falls under "OEM app" category which is treated separately.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] OSUJaws:
Sorry, I'm late to the party is there no builds of this Android Auto plugin working? I'm really excited for this app as it's exactly what I've been looking for since my new car doesn't have a factory Boost gauge or oil temp gauge. Thank you for all of the work you've put in and I'm really looking forward to it
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gh0st:
I'm using v2.9 and it is working, this AA version is a bit buggy though. Enable AA Developer mode (the app not the phone) and enable unknown sources (from the AA app).

Then disable auto update for the app on google playstore.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FormelLMS:
Today with new version 3.2.581534-release the notifications for speed cameras are working here on my head unit.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] elbubi:
Thanks for your reply Emil, will try 3.2 in the meantime.

Thanks for the heads up!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jakobsen.jacob:
Hi Emil,

When will the app be back up in XDA Labs?

Keep up your good work! ??
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] danyAf:
Hi emil, Hope you can fix this soon, :good:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Hi guys. Back in the UK and I'm working on it. Currently still stuck at the same point (SSL related) I will update you as soon as I can, at least testing is much easier now.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] montajd:
So I noticed that MPG or fuel flow does not work unless alternate pulling is enabled, also, as others have pointed out, the updates for the dials are about once per second. I've disabled battery optimization, and sure enough, just using torque pro alone, the readings are smooth and update very quickly. I'm using the OBDlink ScanTool, so speed from the adapter is not the issue. Hope Emil can get this sorted out!

Correction: the new pulling method started working for MPG false alarm
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] montajd:
Need the ability to move the needle up or down (y axis). As you can see in my screenshot, where the plus signs are on my dials is where the needles need to be
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] montajd:
can someone explain to me what exactly the arch indent does? That is the only thing that is confusing me.

Is it referring to the margin around each gauge?

Thanks

Got it figured out
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] NU13:
My first question is how are you running the app? I thought it was unavailable for everyone now and secondly where did you get those gauge graphics from, they look super cool.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] HoneyBajjar:
I believe if he is still running an older version of Android auto and doesn't have auto update on he can still use the app.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] montajd:
Nailed it
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] NU13:
And the custom gauge skins?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ShannonPricePhoto:
I got mine to work again! Settings-apps-google services-uninstall update. Should he back to 11.9 or something.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Yamarocket630:
If I uninstall and reinstall any older version of google play services all I get is an error that AA wont work unless I update google play services.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] montajd:
They didn't work, the way the numbers were lined up on the gauges were not even and did not produce accurate readings
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Master32:
Hello. Any way to get this to work with the head unit reloaded app? Tried downgrading android auto with not success.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ShannonPricePhoto:
I dont reinstall on mine. But im on a s8+...

There are some side issues... it won't read out messages from text or reply... I had an app constantly popping up a notification that it won't work till I update services.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] m00n61:
OBD2AA works very well with HUR
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Master32:
I can't get it to work... Could you please tell me how.

Thanks in advance.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nafeasonto:
Can anyone tell me where I can get this regardless if Google took it off the app store?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] m00n61:
If you can give more details...

What is your setup? What is not working?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] techchetn:
I'm unable to download the app can you please share the working link ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] NU13:
Emil has gone quiet. Not a good sign.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Master32:
I am rooted with AA downgraded to 2.9 and the latest HUR.

I have brought all apps. None are cracks. But when I go on

The last button on HUR it does not show OBD2AA...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] SLAB_8002:
You also need to downgrade Google Play Services to 12.2.21 or earlier and disable updates in Titanium Backup.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Master32:
Any negative things happen when downgrading Google Play Services?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] m00n61:
You don't need to downgrade anything with HUR. It works with the latest AA and GPS, no issues.

Did you enable unknown sources in AA dev options?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Master32:
Yes. Tried everything with no success.

But downgrading GPS works for me. Not ideal but works.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jeromeo01:
What is HUR?

Thanks

HeadUnit Reloaded

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] SLAB_8002:
You're saying OBD2AA works with the latest GPS and AA? Because I didn't think any 3rd party apps other than media and navigation were working.

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 PM ----------

Not really, but I only use this particular phone for running AA with 3rd party apps, so I'm not sure I'd notice unless it was a major issue. All of the Google apps still work, though.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] m00n61:
With HUR. HeadUnit reloaded is essentially a headunit emulator for Android. You can connect Android Auto to a phone or tablet running HUR. Since the connection works in devmode all apps will show, just like in DHU.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rallysquirrel:
Just answered my question above. Can't delete post.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] feezler:
any chance this will ever get fixed? :( I miss this app.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] NU13:
Not looking good with Emil going silent. But one can only hope he is still working on the fix in the background. Fantastic app and I really hope it returns.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Hi guys.

I'm still here, sorry for being silent, and I know I have excused myself so many times, but the situation is still the same I'm desperate for time.

Came back to the UK after school and I thought I will finally have some time, instead I have been bombarded with work.

- 2 clients needed urgent changes with GDPR

- 1 client needed a whole invoicing module rewritten like yesterday

- Family was slightly upset that I was away for 3 month, now that I'm back I'm again not available

- Although school is finished I still need to complete a final project in 30 days after the last exams in order to get my papers otherwise that won't be any good.

- And indeed I had like 3 days off recently when I haven't switched on my computer.

Trust me out of you all I'm the one who miss this the most, it is/was my child and my pride and Google took it away, so I'm really not happy about it and I do want to make it work, but my time management is poor I have to admit and making the decision what is more important every day it's again a difficult one. I LOVE working with Android Auto and I'm upset that lately I had no time to dedicate to this, as you have noticed I haven't been active on XDA, I wen't absolutely radio silent on Google Product forum, and my answer time to emails increased from a couple of hours to a day or so.

The worst bit of all is that I do not see the light at the end of the tunnel (yet).

I'm in a quite stupid positioning where I have too much work for one person, but not enough and defiantly not enough income to hire a person to work with/for me, which is a shame.

That being said, if anybody here is advanced in Java and C and it's interested in making this project work again he/she can email me and we can have a discussion about it, because I know it's been a VERY LONG time since this was killed by Google and I haven't made any visible progress yet.

Also if you see that I'm not responding to a question on XDA in max 24 hours please do send me an email, for some reason I'm not getting notifications on regular bases from XDA.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] badabing2003:
Thanks Emil for giving us an update, and I say take your time, this is just a hobby, there are priorities in life and you're doing the responsible thing.

I wish I could help, but I know I can't. I can offer my best wishes though :)

Take care and see you around whenever you get the time.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
I believe whoever really wants this, can root an old phone, use it only for android auto (he will have his main phone with less apps working better also).

I do this anyway (i was doing this before Google lock) and use obd2, mirroring and navigation programs through mirroring without any problem with rooted custom rom.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jeromeo01:
I will be happy to do this.

But you cannot get the apk anymore. And I don't know how to compile.

So I'm stuck. [emoji36]

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Come on guys it's not Emil's fault. What are you going to do when Android Phone comes out and you currently are running substrate. You going to ask them and your theme Dev for a refund since Google is blocking it?

I find this petty and insulting actually.

I am patiently waiting for a fix. Even if he never comes up with one no need for a few dollar refund.

I'm sure many people have apps they purchased that no longer work. That's life.

Emil good luck.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thegeaux2guy:
You're clearly taking my response the wrong way. It was what... $5? **** happens with this kind of thing. I just asked for his email in case he had an update, I never blamed him for anything. It's been months since I visited this topic so I was looking for an update.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Sorry to have quoted your message. There have been posts asking for a refund.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jb.traveller:
While it worked it gave all the info that wasn't available on my factory built in unit. Shame on Google for killing it and hope Emil finds a patch that works.

Where can I now download a copy of OBD2AA as I just mistakenly unintalled.

I was using it yesterday ok with old AA install, old Google play services and Google play disabled.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Qrdu13:
Hi, There is really no solution to make the application work even with a root device ? Another application targeted by google is back today with the latest version of android auto and google play services the application is AA mirror, I really miss obd2aa, before it was so easy to see my regenerating particle filter :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I just saw that I'm going to look into that today, however the approach is different to the one I have in mind and it's limited to ROOT-ed devices.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Qrdu13:
Thanks Emil for your answer, today there are more and more root devices, and frankly it's within everyone's reach, give a chance to those who have root devices like me please, do your best, of course.

Great app by the way :good:, I enjoy it so much I prefer to struggle with the annoying and constant notification to update GPS than to just update and lose OBD2AA !

Have you installed the latest beta?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] blkfri:
If you're talking about GPS, sorry I assumed I had the last version while writting (I was already back to 11.9 so I couldn't check directly on the phone), but after checking again it was GPS 12.6.85 (I edited my initial post).

Hi Emil

I ve just tested on my m4GT

Your version initially bought on xda, patched with odb2aa patch, phone(S7 edge, nougat) just rooted with CF auto root generated to the rom version fxxu2drd1, AA 2.9 installed and patched works fine

not tested the beta version you have putted on line recently

Bests
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jeromeo01:
It's working now. My mistake.

I Just had to wait a couple of minutes to pull the data from torque.

Can you create your own PID through AA2OBD as the custom PID from torque are not listed.

Thanks.
