Hi [MENTION=8769890]Sissi1991[/MENTION], thanks for trying the app.

I see good news that you established the wireless connection successfully, which was one of the major concerns I had with the app.

You're right, sending photos should work without root. I saw another report in the SDK thread, when the example app could behave similarly.

Just to make sure it's the same: when you take the screenshot, the screen on Android Auto becomes black for about a second, and then appears the AA home sceen?

Also, does the same happen when trying to send some other picture than a screenshot (like Gallery -> <some photo> -> Share -> Send to Android Auto)?

A note about rooting: it's required only on passenger's device (to make audio work).
[Android Auto General] martoreto:
[MENTION=8769890]Sissi1991[/MENTION], feel free to try the new release:

https://github.com/martoreto/aapassenger/releases/tag/0.9-alpha2
[Android Auto General] Kill Me:
Couldnt make it work also, same problem as Sissi (tested the previous 0.9 alpha 1 version only)

If sending a picture from gallery, it gives an error 'error resizing image'
[Android Auto General] martoreto:
Ok, this looks like another issue and alpha 2 rather won't make any difference here.

This error shows on the passenger's device, right?

If possible, please PM me links to:

- Android bugreport captured after this error (Settings -> Developer options -> Take bug report)

- The picture which failed to send

Thanks for trying this out. :)
[Android Auto General] bladerj:
Thanks for developing such a great idea :)

Don't know what I am missing, I can't pair my two phones, even though they are connected through wifi direct, the app apparently can't see this connection :s

[Android Auto General] martoreto:
[MENTION=8769890]Sissi1991[/MENTION], [MENTION=260851]Kill Me[/MENTION], here's 0.9-alpha3 with "error resizing image" fixed. Give it a try!

https://github.com/martoreto/aapassenger/releases
[Android Auto General] martoreto:
Yeah, I expected that Wifi Direct may have some connection issues. Nevertheless, please do this:

On driver's device open "AA Remote Settings" -> "Enable discovery".

On passenger's device open "AA Passenger"; if the setup wizard shows up, go to the "Pairing" page.

Wait 5 minutes.

On both devices, capture Android bug reports, upload them somewhere and PM me the links.
[Android Auto General] Kill Me:
Thank you, ill give it a try.

Pairing through Wifi direct isnt indeed ideal and it takes a while to get connected, i get why using 'passenger' smartphone, but as the driver is driving the passenger could use the connected AA phone i think
[Android Auto General] Sissi1991:
[MENTION=8666285]martoreto[/MENTION] installed and tested new version! Works perfect. Keep on your good work!
[Android Auto General] martoreto:
Just my 3 cents on this idea: some things can be done with this AA-connected phone, and this doesn't need any special app mostly.

I don't know how it is on other phones, but on my HTC One M8 I can open any app even when AA is connected using tricks like opening notifications drawer, going to Settings, Apps etc.

But even then Maps can't be open on both AA and the screen. It can't render at the same time to 2 destinations.

Then, fiddling with the cable can easily disconnect the nav.

That's why I go with the idea of using the passenger's phone, with his/her music library, maps favourites, bookmarks, whatever context etc., to make car travel a more "together" experience.
[Android Auto General] martoreto:
Let me announce a new major release: 1.9-alpha8

It has two new main features, namely:

Audio streaming without root, as rooting was rather a major blocker for

this feature to be useful.

Hotspot mode. Now the apps don't rely on Wi-fi Direct only (but it's still supported).

They will work also if the passenger's device is connected to the hotspot started

on the driver's device.

Full release notes:

audio streaming, without root! (experimental)

audio streaming, without passenger app! (experimental)

works also with Hotspot active on the driver's device

AA Passenger now also available from Play Store

driver's app renamed to AA 2nd Seat

now compatible with Android 5.0 Lollipop

many bugs squashed

support for an NFC tag which launches or installs AA Passenger app

Note that both driver's and passenger's apps must be updated to work together.

Enjoy!

1.9-alpha9

AA Passenger: fixed Oreo crash

AA Passenger: fixed casting volume

Hi,

As a Uber driver, i would be interested to make the "uber driver" application work on the screen of my car. This android application is similar to the well known "uber client" app.

Do you think it can be available ?
[Android Auto General] Carz73:
Does this still work?

Couldn't get this to work with AA 8.6.625004-release and Coolwalk (no root) and Spotify (own account and 2 different accounts). Haven't tried others.

Connection test passed with 2nd seat AA device hotspot and "Unknown sources" is enabled in AA developer option but I don't see "Audio Streaming" button nor an additional app in AA customise launcher (not sure if suppose to).

Just streaming audio on passenger device does nothing on AA. Samsung smart view (reckon this is same as cast) does not find "No-app Car Streaming".

[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] Antretng:
I think there is some EIS. That's why it is zoomed in. Using another camera will be the solution to your problem. ;)

What device do you recommend?

I ve been using Jasjar since realesed. And I would like to move to a new one but don't know which one to choose. I was waiting for HTC Omni but no colse or near ralease date.

Please give me any idea of which device to chose that is similar in qualities especially the big screen.

Best Regards....
[General Topics] fzzyrn:
do you have any specific requirements. The HTC advantage seems a worthy replacement for the universal.
[General Topics] salehjs:
A device with 3.5" display that fit in pocket

Thank you for your quick respose.

Don't you think The HTC advantage is a bit big and bulky? Additionally 5" screen is too big. I think 3.5 " inch screens might fit nicely in my pocket.

If you were using HTC advantage device, please tell me your experince with it. And would it be easy to move from Universal with WM6.1 device to it.

I am looking for a device that 3.5" display with as much additional features as possible. Like GPS, FM, 5MP Camera, big RAM, and so on.

Best Regards

basicaly you are waiting for the Sony Xperia X1 (still made by HTC) to be released

Any other recomendations from todays devices?

Best Regards...
[General Topics] l3v5y:
Most of those requirements can be covered by the Kaiser, but the screen is less good.
[General Topics] salehjs:
I am realy currently considering Kaiser & other devices. But screen size is important to me. What about the processor speed? (Qualcomm® MSM 7200, 400MHz) compaired with Universal ( Intel Bulverde 520 MHz processor)!!!! I don't know which one is faster.

Additionally, any body know anything about HTC Omni when will it be released?
[General Topics] l3v5y:
The kaiser is fast, and with the driver update suposedly arriving soon, it'll get better. I can't pass any judgements as I have only used a universal for a few minutes. There are no HTC devices (other than the uni) that have a VGA screen... (theres the athena and the shift but they are to big for pockets.)
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Note that its keyboard is WAY worse than that of the Universal - even that of the new x7510 version.
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
And the Shift isn't really a WinMo device either - its WinMo module is only used to set up connections, nothing else.
[General Topics] l3v5y:
I was using the Shift as an example of the maximum screen size on anything that uses Windows Mobile as an OS.

Some of the Toshiba devices have an 800*480 screen (the G900 for exampl) but I have no idea what they are like to use.
[General Topics] salehjs:
Any Other Device

Any Other Device that you recomend I can change to other than thos mentioned?

Make sure you read my MWC posts - I've posted (and will post - prolly today) quite much on the latest (W)VGA announcements.

[General Questions and Answers] EnricoBarsanti:
Good evening at all!

Sorry for the trouble but after long hours of research and attempts without solving the problem I thought to try to ask with a thread.

I'll explain what's my problem: I have a lg f70 d315 that no longer wants to start.

It has not been used for a long time and I can not tell you what was done to it last time.

The phone stays locked in the boot screen with the LG logo.

I tried to perform a factory reset from the stock recovery but the situation is not changed. (it stays stucked on "performing factory rest")

I tried to start the device in download mode pressing Vol UP while booting but instead of showing the download mode screen, the fastboot commands are shown (as in picture)

The bootloader is locked so I can not flash a modified recovery (which I find here https://xdaforums.com/chef-central/android/recovery-twrp-2-8-7-0-lg-f70-d315-t3278742) or flash the file laf.img necessary to access the download mode.

any attempt I do to flash shows these errors

Even when testing with "fastboot boot recovery.img" commands, the phone loads the TWRP recovery but remains locked in the twrp logo screen, without continuing or allowing other operations.

is the device unrecoverable?

Connecting it to the PC is only recognized when it is in fastboot, in all other cases (with mobile phone off, during startup) is not shown by windows.

Thank you very much for your help or just having read the post,

Enrico

I have searched internet for below mentioned queries but could not find a solution. Hope someone can help out here.

(1) How to remove the unnecessary Google apps?

I read somewhere (and on this forum as well) that this can be done through Google Playstore but I dont see the options in Google Playstore account. (Maybe it doesnt work anymore)

(2) How do I remove Mi App Store and other Mi apps?

Can it be uninstalled... or atleast disabled?

(3) What is authenticity of Security app?... remove Cheetah, Tencent?

I am not sure how reliable this pre-installed Security app is or whether it is authentic as I dont see it in Google Playstore (I dont feel comfortable to have any app in my mobile which is not on Google Playstore).

New Android devices actually dont need app/memory cleaner, etc. There are numerous negative reviews about Cheetah, etc. I saw that Security app uses engine of Cheetah, Tencent, etc. Better to remove it?

(4) I dont see many settings in Camera. Is there guide to actually understand the settings, how to use, etc?

(5) I see that there are guides thread in bit and pieces, but is there any complete PDF, user maual or user guide for Redmi 4A or MIUI 8?

Thanks!

Easy solution is to install custom ROM.

Check this, https://xdaforums.com/general/general/update-redmi-4a-users-t3706184.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4a Questions & Answers] James_Watson:
As I know, user manual for Redmi 4A has not yet been available on the manufacturer's official website.

But manuals for other Redmi phones, such as Redmi 5A, are available there.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4a Questions & Answers] thatOneWeeaboo:
1. Removal via Play Store only applicable if you're installing them via Play Store i.e. not pre-installed. If you want to remove the pre-installed ones without root then try this

2. You can't really remove any of the system app if you're on official MIUI ROM because of its stock kernel (dm-verity). Try to remove them and it'll put your phone on a bootloop on the next boot because it checks the system integrity and refuses to boot if it detects any changes to the system, including file deletion. Maaybe you can if you're rooted and you have a modified kernel installed that disables the dm-verity.

3. It's an OEM app, meaning it was from the ROM itself. The manufacturer may decide if their OEM apps will be up on Play Store, so it may or may not be available from there. Think of it like your stock launcher. And well, it's Cheetah. Disable all of its updates and configurations (virus definition, auto scan etc.) and you're good. You can just disable the cleaner engine to stop the cleaner altogether. And as mentioned earlier, don't try to remove a system app if you're on an official MIUI ROMs. Didn't want to risk yourself to putting your phone into a bootloop. Unless you can do it properly then sure thing. Make sure to take a backup beforehand.

4. Most camera settings are pretty self-explanatory, so maybe they decided to not put much on the camera 'guide'

5. No. Not all guides comes with a PDF, and there's not a single guide that covers everything. Sometimes they came like forum threads like this. The only user manual/user guide available is the booklet that came with your phone. And I'm pretty sure that's not the guide you're looking for, as that booklet only covers the very basic operations of your phone.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4a Questions & Answers] Biker Biker:
Hi thatOneWeeaboo. Thanks for your kind help. :good:

Just a basic question.. are those Google apps and Mi Apps "pre-installed ones" or "system apps"?

I read somewhere that bloatware can be removed by simple app known as "Activity Launcher".. but will have research about it... Any inputs on it?

:)
[Xiaomi Redmi 4a Questions & Answers] thatOneWeeaboo:
Technically speaking, System Apps are 'pre-installed' and pre-installed apps isn't always a system app. If the latter is your case, you can just remove them via your Apps section in your Settings menu, no need lengthy steps or commands.

You've probably read a similar guide that I linked and the "Activity Launcher" app's purpose is to launch a certain app's activity, therefore it's isn't actually removing the bloatware. As far as I know, it is used to launch the AOSP version of the Aplication Settings that normally isn't visible within the MIUI skin. You can actually disable most Google packages and some MIUI apps within there.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4a Questions & Answers] Biker Biker:
Thanks for replying mate, but I dont think I would want to install all those zip files in my mobile. You never know if they are itself corrupted/malware/spyware. But thanks for replying!

I dont want to install anything which doesnt come from google playstore.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4a Questions & Answers] thatOneWeeaboo:
If you're insisting to not install anything that doesn't come from Play Store, then try another camera app, like Open Camera. Other than that, there's isn't much you can do without installing things outside of the Store. Actually, LineageOS's stock camera, dubbed Snap Camera, is a pretty great camera app. But since it's not from the Play Store then I won't recommend it to you because, well, it's not from the Store.

That's a pretty much a valid concern, but there's other people's testimony if things are actually working. So you can see e.g. if it's fixed your problem or make it worse by messing up stuff.

Also, not all Play Store apps are safe, though. There are some apps that collects your information/personal data without you knowing e.g. a Keyboard app that asks for your Device ID

What I understood from my experience is that if you set a PIN or password during the first setup then your phone will be encrypted.

Simply skip this step during setup and check if device is shown as decrypted in the security settings.

You can add a PIN later.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] thisguy159:
I love the hardware on the ph-1 to the point the 5t feels like a phone from 1 or 2 years ago and I love the software on the 5t for the most part. Software is what you live with day to day and PH-1 has its issues. Screen doesn't respond always camera thing (why can i not shoot 16:9 photos argh) prefer oled but the lcd is pretty stunning. So i don't know what to do. Can somebody that really has really spent some time with the PH-1 and maybe know about the 5t tell me why I shouldn't or should keep that over 5t or will the little annoyances just get to me eventually. BTW huge user of AA so consider that as well.

Example of what i'm looking for when going to websites like Androidcentral the website takes advantage of the entire screen (the top) but where before i could could on the address and drag down to get to card view, on any site that does this I can have to click on the little card button...annoying. Or 5t i can zoom in full screen in youtube why can't i on ph-1. This is what i'm looking for. Thanks.

Oh and one other thing what pixel camera apk do i need to download to get better pictures/more options. I know there are ports and variation of ports some require some setup...looking for simple that give some level of hdr and if it's the one with full setup what setup should i have and keep. I know there are other pages but there are other phones million of responses constant update with in threads as opposed to updating the OP, thanks.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] jorgis1:
I had a OP5, and I know that for me custom ROM support and software are really missed, but I love the PH-1. This phone just looks and feels so much better for the price, I am willing to wait a while to see more dev support and official Oreo release. OnePlus has upset me in that they are now releasing 2 phones a year. I have had all their phones, but I think I will be taking a break from OP and just keeping the PH-1 for a while...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] TheDethEgineer:
OP5T wins with the software. They have been working on their OS for almost 3 years so they know what they are doing. On the other hand, there is no other phone that looks and feels like the Essential, hardware is the best handsdown. There are some software issues, but to be honest I have non of it, everything works fine. I use mine in Mexico and in the US.

If you have good cellular reception with the PH1 I think you should keep it.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] JoRocker:
I personally am not a fan of OnePlus. If money truly isn't an issue, then I would go with the S8+. You can almost always find deals from Samsung on sites like Slickdeals and get it for a comparable price to 5t.

OnePlus has made it abundantly clear they don't care for their customers. I had three OnePluses since their first, and I can tell you first-hand that they are a terrible company. They don't like to honor their warranty and they make you pay for the shipping, and there's quite often problems with their phones... Then they only offer a year-and-a-half support for each device.

Essential has already stated that this phone will be updated for a very long time, especially since it's their first. I personally believe only things can go up from here, and their continuous support has proven that notion.

But it's up to you obviously go with whatever you like most.
