First of all great job with this app and thank you for your contribution of this app.

My phone is a Nexus 6 and I have a Pioneer 4100 NEX. I have a small problem with the whole screen being mirrored with black bars on the side. The actual screen size that is being mirrored is probably 5 inches. I have tried resolution changing apps but the black bars are still there. Is there any other fix for this problem?
[Android Auto General] ahhl:
tried, only appear frame but not mirroring
[Android Auto General] AndroidenKalle:
Your screen from phone is on?
[Android Auto General] k12b5:
Hi, I just want to confirm that it works (mirror, touch and audio even without bluetooth being paried) on my phone (Asus zenfone 2, Android 6, rooted).

The Apps (the lowest one) button also works. The other top buttons do not work.

This is great!
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
Working Great! Thank you!

Also for me only the lowest button is working.

Is there a way to fix the mirroring to landscape view? I assume all headunits are landscape, so portrait does not make sense. At the moment the Mirror Screen display depends on the display of the phone.

(using Xiaomi A1, running Android 8.0)
[Android Auto General] ahhl:
ok. now it worked.

2 things unfortunately

1. mine is non touch screen. so i can't do nuch but manage to play video and it [emoji106]

2. no sound and cannot control
[Android Auto General] k12b5:
Try those set screen orientation app to force your phone into lanscape mode. It works for me. Another option is to use task automation to change screen to landscape mode once AAMirror is on.

Best.
[Android Auto General] ahhl:
can i suggest 3 features

1. hide that left bar. for touch screen display, they can always swipe the side to make the bar appear. for non touch screen, the bar can always be un hidden with left arrow, waze/sportify use this feature. this gives more screen view

2. favorites apps, preselected

3. pls do one for non touch screen[emoji120]
[Android Auto General] brayansanchez18:
Hi guys,

Anyone can explain me how make a apk from data of github? I am a noob about that and I want to make the apk of AAMIRROR repository. thanks

PD: I block the landscape orientation with this app https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/eyes-...e/set-orientation-1-1-4-android-apk-download/ works well

Sorry for my english
[Android Auto General] ahhl:
sorry to ask.

i am using github for windows

can't find gradle command or assemble command
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
I installed Android Studio to compile the apk - working!
[Android Auto General] ahhl:
i used autoset. not working. android auto black screen forced it back to portrait mode

i have install android studio. i really need step by step help to make it work. i can't even find where to get AA ver. etc. really confusing
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
I am using ROTATION, which allows to fix rotation for specific apps ...

This should help to get you going:

Android Studio: File -> New -> Project from Version Control -> Git

Git Repository URL: 'https://github.com/slashmax/AAMirror' ....

(I also have never used android Studio before, so maybe I am half a step ahead of you ...)
[Android Auto General] HAL9KKK:
I have received the upgrade to AA 3.1 today and of course AA Mirror does not work yet.

is there any solution to make it working once again?
[Android Auto General] ravenrocha:
Uninstall AA 3.1. Install AA 2.9 and disable in Google Play the auto-update feature for AA.
[Android Auto General] mains75:
Uninstalled 3.0 and installed 2.9. Installed AAmirror Plus also with and without patch, but it does not work...

Xperia x compact Nougat 7.1.1..

Some days ago everything worked fine even with AA 3.0...Any help?

Must downgrade also Google play services?

EDIT: The answer is YES! I installed Google Play Services 12.2.21 and everything is OK!! :good:

Hope this is useful for others... ;)
[Android Auto General] :
Is there any way in rooted phone, to make Google play services doesn't update automatically?

Phone Display stays ON while mirroring

Hallo Guys, when i'm using AA Mirror in my Car it works fine, but the Display on my Phone will stay ON all the time and show me exactly the same screen. I understand that AA Mirror is mirroring, but is there a possibility that the phone screen will get dark when the phone is connect via AA Mirror to the AA unit? I couldn't found any settings in AA Mirror that the phonescreen get of while mirroring.

My Equip:

Samsung S7 Edge with Andoid 7.0

Android Auto 2.9

VW with Discover Pro
[Android Auto General] treezy26:
This works but anything Google related will not work. It keeps telling me to update play services.
[Android Auto General] dnfm:
Step by step to make it work (for now).

Go into the play store and disable auto updates.

Uninstall Android Auto.

Download from apkmirror or elsewhere, Android Auto 2.9 for your device.

Install it as though it's from the play store: pm install -i com.android.vending -r app-debug.apk

Open android auto.

Click 'about android auto'.

Tap the screen header repeatedly until it enables developer options.

Open developer options and click 'install from unknown sources'.

That should do it. It should work.

And then do not update Android Auto until someone comes out with a fix for the latest version.
[Android Auto General] PeeHoo:
Ok let's try... This "pm install..." Is doing where? Terminal?
[Android Auto General] dnfm:
Yep. Or adb shell.
[Android Auto General] mains75:
Until now everything works fine.
[Android Auto General] treezy26:
So it no longer works?
[Android Auto General] mains75:
I tried that way but it does not work for me until I downgrade Google play services..
[Android Auto General] mains75:
No it works, I mean no problem with other Google stuff having "old" google play services..
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
I can confirm that after downgrading GPS to 12.2.21 Android Auto V2.9 is working!

At the moment I do not see any problems with other apps requiring a different version of GPS. I had GPS V12.5 beta installed, and none of the special apps showed up in the OEM-tab.

Assuming the current 'beta' 12.5. will soon become the 'standard' we will run into problems soon.

[Android Auto General] PeeHoo:
Hmm... This might be my problem with S8+ Renovate Ice 9.3 (Oreo 8.0.0) because I have installed Google Play services 12.5.20. Anybody else this version and get special apps showed up?

Btw. I am rooted
[Android Auto General] datasource:
It's not easy to make it work again but...you need a signature spoofing rom without gapps, microg, AA and a loooot of patience.
[Android Auto General] slash_m_a_x:
for rooted devices is relative simple to enable 3rd-party apps
[Android Auto General] datasource:
What's your method ?
[Android Auto General] ahhl:
[emoji26]

look like no other choice but root.
[Android Auto General] :
How did you run android auto without gapps?

I have read that microg couldn't support android auto..

Has something change?
[Android Auto General] datasource:
Yes. I'm experimenting with it but no joy so far.
[Android Auto General] :
Most of users of mirroring are already rooted, otherwise you can't use mirroring well..

But how rooting help with Google continue to set obstacles to run?
[Android Auto General] slash_m_a_x:
i already started looking into proxy-ing AA, that might remove some google restrictions and allow for full screen apps. Until I have a proof that proxy will work i'll not release the fix.

PS: This might stop the server kill switch for those who didnt get blocked already (root required):

pm disable --user 0 com.google.android.gms/.phenotype.service.sync.PhenotypeConfigurator

pm disable --user 0 com.google.android.gms/.phenotype.service.PhenotypeService

Quick question, didn't see it covered; Netflix doesn't display video just black screen. Have sound and touch interface on-screen (root) so I can start/stop the movie but no actual video display. Is this on Netflix app end or some other block? (This is via the usb cable LgG3 to FordSync3)
[Android Auto General] HAL9KKK:
Just to be clear, with the downgrade to AA 2,9 and AA Mirror with "com.android.vending" it does not work at all. Also if you disable the auto-upgrade in the google play.

Any other way to make it working?
[Android Auto General] nijohc:
i saw that other users had success after downgrading gapps to 12.2.21
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
For me it was working!

I recommend to check the versions of AndroidAuto, and GooglePlayServices as well as if AAMirror is installed properly.

For this open an 'ADB SHELL' and type 'pm list packages -i'

It should show all the installed packages and the the used source (e.g. com.android.vending)

Hope it helps!
[Android Auto General] ahhl:
Sorry guy, i been trying to search the thread for rooted and non touch screen but can use control at wheel. i can't find it. i saw it back than slashmax mentioned how to use it.

i have rooted my phone because of this. to use control at wheel.

I am using Android Auto version 2.9 and the latest version of AA Mirror. The picture is displayed correctly, but sometimes the touch function does not work. Of course, I have a rooted Xperia Z5 Compact phone. Any advice?
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
Check if Root-access was granted to AAMirror ...

I had similar problems in the past, and it seems AAMirror is not asking for Root-Access on time.
[Android Auto General] Pixege:
AA Mirror has access to the root without re-query. Mostly it works ok, but from time to time it has a problem.
[Android Auto General] SLAB_8002:
Looks like they just closed that door as well. Play services updated this morning, which killed 3rd party apps. I tried downgrading GPS to 12.2.21, but now Android Auto won't run until I update GPS.
[Android Auto General] mains75:
For me the problem is that GPS updates automatically.

So I saved the 12.2.21 apk on my sd and every time I have to install again (after uninstall gps updates.)

There is no way to block this auto update?
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
Not sure if you can do it per application ...

But you can disable automatic updates in 'Google PlayStore ', but it will affect ALL apps

For me it's working (until now)
[Android Auto General] mains75:
I did already. But it seems that gps is independent from Google play store...
[Android Auto General] orangekid:
For me everything is still working
[Android Auto General] dnfm:
Google pushed a "security update" to my phone while I was rock climbing today which disabled it from working again. I restored a backup, put it in airplane mode, and uninstalled the Play store. I'm ok with how it works right now and am happy to never update it again.
[Android Auto General] Loraknet:
Non touch screen + "security update".

Hello ! I'm new here.

1 . First of all I would like to thank the developers for great work they do ! I'm impressed of functionality of Android Auto after implementation of custom software.

Unfortunately today Google also pushed something into the soft, and almost all 3rd party apps gone (the Car Stream and AA Passenger work fine, that's wierd).

Is there any solution? What should I do - downgrade Android Auto, root phone, install some fix?

2. I have a brand new C300 Coupe 2018. Unfortunately without touch screen, only touch pad and jog wheel. I was unable to operate in side bar in AA mirror or Auto Luncher (only scrolling works fine but i cannot click any available app). Any idea how to get it work ?
[Android Auto General] alconnell:
Security update

I just got this going yesterday and now this! I seem to have it working again for now......I hope there is a better fix than uninstalling Play Store. Thanks to the developers for this great app!
[Android Auto General] orangekid:
I think being on a custom ROM helps a lot, google doesn't push anything and I can manually choose what is and isn't updated.
[Android Auto General] Sdelre:
AA mirror

Can anyone provide assistance, I'm fixated on making this work. From what I understand the phone needs to be rooted for it work properly. I have a Note 8 At&t, N950U, can anyone provide a credible link on how to root it? Then walk me through the steps on how to get the AA mirror to work. I got as far as being able to see it on my AA screen but not able to touch input. I know it's alot any guidance would be appreciated.
[Android Auto General] anto1208:
I have a galaxyt s8 + on which I do not want to root the previous pages of this discussion is said to use minitouch present at this link https://github.com/openstf/minitouch but I do not know how to apply it to my device if anyone has suggestions thank you.

[Android Auto General] :
If i install play services 12.2.21 and freeze playstore with titanium, will play services still auto update?

Has anyone tried this?
[Android Auto General] :
Yes, I'm having android auto 2.9 and same version play services and everything is working fine. Never stopped working. Perhaps my custom rom doesn't update play services? Or because most of the time i don't give internet acess t9 the phone i use for android auto.

But still searching for a more secure way to be sure play services won't auto update. I have already took a backup with titanium of play services just in case..
[Android Auto General] Dan Miller:
Audio Latency through the BT connection while mirroring

I have this working fine, but my car's BT delays the audio by about 0.5 sec. Anyone know either a fix or a workaround?
[Android Auto General] ravenrocha:
Hi,

after my Note 8 received today the Oreo update, even with Android 2.9 + unknown sources enabled AAmirror stoped working. I've noticed that Google Play Services version now is 12.5. I can't uninstall updates. Tried, but gave error's. I think this is because i'm not root on this rom. Even tried to install Google Play Services 12.2 but also with error and can't install. Any solution for a non-root ROM?? I don't want to root because of the warranty :/

thanks!
[Android Auto General] :
Most probably, oraio starts with higher Google play services than the working old one.. Even with a custom rom probability won't work.

I think everyone wants android auto custom apps, should stay in older Android version. Every update to anything would make things worse.

In time, only working way, would be, what i already do. Use an old phone only for android auto, always connected to car.
[Android Auto General] dnfm:
This is what I did -- I bought a Moto G5 for cheap (on sale at a local store for $139 CAD), and rooted it, and made it my car-only phone. If you want it to have Internet and don't want to give it its own plan, get tasker, and tell it to turn on Internet sharing from your normal phone whenever it's within bluetooth range of the car and/or the car phone, and you're all set.

Freeze your google play version, and then take a twrp backup just to be safe.
[Android Auto General] datasource:
I'm on LineageOS 15.1 and until now everything is working as it should. Every time I update the ROM I just revert to the backup of google play services version 12.2.21 I made with titanium.

"To revert to stock Google Play Services unrooted you need to deactivate “find my device” under Android Settings -Security & location and then go to Apps – Google Play services – locate the menu button top right and select “Uninstall updates”. Do not update the Play services if prompted. You need to clear app and cache data and block your gps signal as well."
[Android Auto General] ravenrocha:
Just checked that and I dont have a way to simple disable "find my device". Nevertheless I could disable: Remote control, Google Location Services and Send Last Location, within the find my device menu.

Even doing that I still cant uninstall Google Play Services updates :/

Thanks!|!
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
Depending which version of GPS is installed via your ROM.

You could try to disable GPS, which will revert GPS back to the ROM-version, and then enable it again but ensure it's not updated.

At least for me this approach is working ....
[Android Auto General] ravenrocha:
I can't disable GPS. The disable and force stop buttons for this APP are both disabled (grey out) :(
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
Did you check 'Settings' -> 'Security & Location' -> 'device admin apps': here I found 'Find my device' enabled. (or search for 'device admin apps')

After disabling 'Find my Device' I was able to 'Disable' GPS.
[Android Auto General] ravenrocha:
Yes, that's it!! I Found it :)) Many thanks all of you for your help ;)

Now I could uninstall GPS updates and I'm now in GPS 11.9 :)))

Should I disable GPS or just let it be on 111.9?

I will test this later this evenning on my car. I still need to put AA 2.9, right? It doesnt' work with AA 3.0 or 3.1 with GPS 11.9?

Thanks again!
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
I did the same appr 1 week ago, until now there was no GPS upgrade attempt (i.e. I am still at V11.9).

In case it get upgraded, just disable it to 'downgrade' back to V11.9

Yes, you need to stick to Android Auto V2.9 (I don't remember I tested it with AA V3.0 recently), and you need to install these 'special apps' via ADB ...
[Android Auto General] datasource:
And if you have Titanium backup you can disable automatic updates for Google play services in Menu/Market Update manager
[Android Auto General] viper_za:
Can Titanium backup do that with a non-rooted phone too?
[Android Auto General] ravenrocha:
Vou can use titanium backup to disable GPS updates without being root?

I was using AA 2.9 before with AAmirror without need to use the adb commands to make it working.

I think adb use was only needed for AA 3.0
[Android Auto General] datasource:
You need root for TB.

Dont forget that you need to enable again unknown sources in the developer menu of AA after deleting the updates of GPS.
[Android Auto General] ravenrocha:
I thought so. Even for this particular functionality of disabling auto-updates for GPS?

Do you know if AA 3.0 or AA 3.1 works with GPS 11.9? Or do you really need to use AA 2.9?
[Android Auto General] datasource:
I'm not sure but I believe AA 3.0 still works if you use the ADB method for setting the vendor. I'm all set with 2.9 but I will try in the next ROM flash.

TB needs root for everything.
[Android Auto General] treoking:
Hi guys,

I know that all the information I need will surely be in this thread, but reading more than 40 pages is a mess...

From what I have read, to make AA work mirroring the screen, I understand that I will need an "old" Android terminal, with Android 7 Nougat and AA 2.9, and also block the Play Services update below version 12.2.21.

Could someone summarize me, or link me some instructions and the apps I need to make this "hack" work?

Many thanks and regards!!!! Sorry for my newbie question...
[Android Auto General] kaiserSS:

Many thanks for all your help on downgrading GPS from 12.5 ;)

It was nice if the "protection / validation" for 3rd party apps were only on the GPS side. But for what I can it's not. Anyone tried AA 3.1 with success via ADB method?
[Android Auto General] red_fork:
After downgrading GPS from 12.5 to 12.2 (also tried 11.9) when I try to run Android Auto I'm getting message 'Google Play Services doesn't seem to be working right now'.

Tried to reinstall AA, wipe cache, connect to car - nothing helped.

Automatic updates are disabled in Titanium Backup. GPS was downloaded from APKMirror. My phone is Sony Z1 Compact running Lineage 14.1 (Nougat 7.12)

When I unlock updates, GPS immediately updates to 12.9 and AA is working again...

Has anybody had problem like this?
[Android Auto General] ravenrocha:
Today I had to update to GPS 12.2 manually since the voice commands on Android Auto were not working and AA was telling me to update GPS services. With 12.2 everything is still working including the voice commands. By the way, how can I write a SMS or Whatsapp or Messenger message with voice from scratch? I can you only reply to a message but never write, with voice, a new one? I can figure how to write (with voice) a new message?

GPS 12.9??? You updated to GPS 12.9 and AAMirror is still working? Strange, because with 12.5+ should not be working
[Android Auto General] red_fork:
No, Android Auto is working, not AAMirror.

As I wrote, with GPS prior to 12.9 AA didn't even start, but the problem is solved. I installed wrong GPS version... It was for android 4+ instead of 6+ ?
[Android Auto General] ahhl:
Google app need to be downgrade as well, find the one release before 12.2 released.

Google app have been upgraded together eirh google play service when google release new features

there an app call Google App, whith the icon G symbol.
[Android Auto General] datasource:
I've upgraded Google app several times and AA + Special apps are still working so i think that AA 2.9 + GPS 12.2 are the key to keep it working for now.
[Android Auto General] ravenrocha:
Comportly agree with you!!
[Android Auto General] fabioalessandro:
