ciao paolo

I DO NOT use full immersive anymore. my advice is for whom was using and experienced similar problems to the one I described.

I Think I found another way to restore to normal aspect, if a reboot doesn't solve the situation:

You can launch from command line (you can install terminal emulator, a free app on google play) the following commands:

su

wm size reset && wm density reset

(at the end of each line you have to press enter on the keyboard)

this should revert back to normal dpi and resolution immediately.. if doesn't, just reboot phone.

worked for me. but just to be sure and safe, before trying it's better to do a full backup through custom recovery (like twrp)

obviously it needs root privileges on the phone, but AA mirror itself requires root, so I assume that the user has at least magisk

from this simple command, it's simple to create a shortcut launcher, or a basic app, without paying for tasker

so I think screen shift, or the command line (suggested by this app itself, no credits for me ;) ) should work for our purpose..

EDIT: FORGOTTEN to answer to your question about screen shift.

this app is brand new to me, so I can tell you what I would do with this, but not sure the following is the right use, so be careful (my advice outta always the same: have a backup where all works perfectly and normally.. just in case..).

1) verify (I use "droid info" free app on Google play) your current resolution and dpi and take note of those values

2) open screen shift, activate screen shift on top and all other fields (resolution, overscan and density) and fill them with the values previously taken (in overscan leave all values to zero)

3) save this profile (your default resolution and dpi) and assign a name of your choice to it

4) press on "more settings" menù and check the first voice (set on boot)

this should be enough, but if your resolution doesn't turn back to normal, you can open screen shift and load the profile you saved

I noted this suggestion coming from app

(See picture)

And thanks for your suggestion into use of app

Honestly ... I think that a simple adb command will be enough

Thanks

Hi all,

I'm trying to have AA Mirror working on last AA (3.7 or 3.8) with last GPS 14.5, but with no success. I tried all the different methods explained here:

In AA change to "release" mode and disable unkown sources (this part is very strange because this was the workaround for showing AA Mirror on AA)

I'm using last AA_Mirrror, last AA_unlock and also tried two other different tools post here to do the unlock of AA, but no success.

I can only use AA_Mirror in AA 3.6 (not using AA 3.7 because full version of Waze was not working properly in AA 3.7) when I uninstall GPS from 14.5 to 12.8, and AA_Mirror shows in AA. I have OnePlus 6 with Android 9.

What can I do to use AA_Mirror with last GPS 14.5?

Thanks!
[Android Auto General] qllkevuoi:
those settings worked for some of us, but I started thinking that each one must find the right settings for himself.

anyway, I see you're on Android 9 and this could be another problem (may be.. I'm not sure)
[Android Auto General] mortondc:
Any Ideas what to do when AA_Mirror works but without Touch?

AA_Mirror an AA_unlock got root Status granted.

I know Android Auto comes without touch function. Is it still possible to get touch on AA_Mirror?

Thank you.
[Android Auto General] paolocorpo:
Ciao,

usually this can be fixed verifying that AA_mirror would be present into the list of apps that have grant permission by SUPERUSER

If you are using Magisk, open Magisk Manager, tap on toast menu, open Superuser and check the box of AA_mirror
[Android Auto General] mortondc:
Thx for your answer.

I am using SuperSU. Could that be the reason?
[Android Auto General] paolocorpo:
Dear all,just a follow up of my experience with these apps

My hardware/software

FORD SYNC3

XIAOMI Mi A1 8.1.0 Nov patch stock + Magisk beta 17.3 + Moun Kernel 6.2

Evie Launcher

AA 3.7.584044 (I blocked update with Titanium Backup ... honestly I don't know if it is necessary or not ...)

GPS 14.3.66 (090408-21342215) (I blocked update with Titanium Backup ... honestly I don't know if it is necessary or not ...)

AA_mirror 1.0

AA_mirror 1.0.1a (aka PLUS)

Car Stream 2.0

AA_unlock 1.0 (I have used only for AA_mirror)

AAutoAppEnabler 1.1 (I have used only for AA_mirror plus as unlock procedure and for all the apps as grant to be present into list of AA)

I have today the chance to start on my infotainment system all these 3 bold apps :)

I personally prefer aa_mirror vs aa_mirror plus because the plus version on my hardware/software mix has some touch sensitivity issues and a strategy to remap my personal home page in bad way that I don't like (aa_mirror respect the orientation vs aa_mirro plus that rotate it)

ISSUES

1. The issue related to loose phone screen resolution seems to be been fixed (especially using aa_mirror)

The only problem that I have right now at unplug is that the icons of my home have a reduction of dimension probably because as default they are very big :)

I have to reset them using the Evie Launcher Home settings

2. Sometimes (especially using aa_mirror plus) when I unplug I have a big task bar on bottom of screen; tipically I fix replugging or recovering teh backup done with Evie Launcher

Basically I can say that these two problems are both Evie Launcher related ... and so very probably they could be not reproduced on others hardware/software combination

I have to decide if I can update or not my AA and GPS apps ...

I am not worried about today ... honestly speaking I am worried about the future

That's all from my side :)

Ciao

Paolo

No, I don't believe

have you checked if aa_mirror is listed into APP granted to root list ?
[Android Auto General] mortondc:
Yes, both apps (aa_mirror & aa_unlock) are listed in the root list.

I use the original Android Auto Hardware & Software in my car.

Naturally Android Auto does not support touch screen, only carplay from IPhone does.

Could that be the reason? Or can you use aa_mirror (+ root) with touch, even when the original AA apps (Google Maps etc.) are without touch?
[Android Auto General] paolocorpo:
the infotainment system of my CAR (FORD SYNC3) has touch feature with AA (and CarPlay too)

Honestly I don't know in your case ... could be the main root cause of your issue ...
[Android Auto General] qllkevuoi:
I didn't block AA and GPS updates and I'm in the same your situation (more or less, you know..).

AA version same as yours; GPS version 14.5.74

so I think you can remove the update block safely.. or you can mantain it, till you don't encounter problems with other G-apps (for example youtube or gmail force close or such things)
[Android Auto General] paolocorpo:
Yes ... you are right

I think that I will act in this way

Thanks

Paolo
[Android Auto General] mortondc:
My Car (Mazda 6) has no touch with Android Auto, only with carplay.

A follow up ...

... A very annoying issue is that I have to repeat the procedure with App Enabler 1.1 around daily :(

Yesterday all was running well ... Today the three apps are not listed :(

I checked App Enabler 1.1 and the three apps are not checked :(

I checked them, rebooted and ... The three apps are sortable into menu of infotainment car system :)

Honestly speaking I have not understood the reason why it happens

App Enabler 1.1 app is developed by a XDA's user (@manudroid19)

I will try to contact him and ask if there is a definitive workaroud

This worked for me!!! Thank you for posting this app!! I'm on the latest Google play services and AA!
[Android Auto General] qllkevuoi:
It seems this problem is solved, thank to user Jen94 and his procedure

(I post the link for other users that didn't partecipate to that thread: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78289872&postcount=110)

Then, another good news: also the resolution problem seems solved.. but I don't know exactly how I came to this result. I can just explain what I've done, differently than before:

1) installed AA Mirror Plus without uninstalling AA Mirror;

2) set AA Mirror Plus settings as I always did in AA Mirror (force rotation, 90 degrees, immersive mode-->none, adjust and restore ratio checked).. obviously I set the same settings in AA Mirror;

3) cleared cache and data of Android Auto app;

4) opened Android Auto and became a developer;

5) leaved not choosen the app mode in the developer menu (I mean.. no release mode and no other modes checked);

6) leaved unchecked "unknown sources";

7) started head unit server before connecting phone to head unit

8) lastly, launched AA Mirror from the car head unit (AA Mirror plus is also listed, but sometimes and randomly this app has touchscreen problems).

In this way, when I disconnect the phone from head unit, all is ok on the phone without the need to reboot (I tried also with full immersive option: no problem. but I leave it disabled 'cause in my case it does not make any difference)

------------------------------------------------------------

Now, it seems that my only "problem" (not a big problem honestly, but an imperfection) is that the aspect ratio of the mirroring is 1:1 on homescreen and on the apps when I run them (and it's ok, perfect), so for example the youtube home screen does fit perfectly and fills all the screen of my infotainment unit ... but when I launch a video in youtube, or other apps with video contents, the videos are not at full screen: there are 2 black vertical bands on the sides .. I hope I was able to explain what I mean..

Unfortunately this depends by the different aspect ratio between my galaxy s7 (16:9, so a ratio of 1,78) and the car head unit (800x480, so a ratio of 1,66): I think there's no solution to this .. right? or, if exist a solution, any advice?

thanks a lot in advance

what do you need to set up here?
[Android Auto General] paolocorpo:
I have applied on my device the procedure suggested by [MENTION=9536392]Jen94[/MENTION]

I hope that it will fix the issue

I got the chance to apply the procedure with the target to preserve AA_mirror plus and Carstream too

I will report here my report

Nevertheless jen94 is highlighting that in some cases aa_mirror can loose functionality

(Please let refer to the post linked above for more details)

The good thing is that [MENTION=5140933]manudroid19[/MENTION] has promised to include this procedure inside his AAutoAppEnabler_v1.1.apk (but not before of next January 19 ;))

[MENTION=5449046]cioce[/MENTION]

I have been reading around and it seemed manudroid19 might be upgrading his app enabler to automate the unlocking action to workaround GPS relocking.

Till then I will continue to use aa_unlock.

Hopefully someone found the true coding workaround.

Currently below is the latest unlock stable setup I know.

AAmirror Unlock Stability Update:

AA 3.8, not sure why new preview msgs feature not appearing in settings

GPS 12.8.74

Titanium freeze AA and GPS

Find my device unchecked

OnePlus One proper PC rooted with SU

APK used

aa_mirror.apk	May18 version

aa_unlock.apk	23JUL18 version

Same here, no any visual news on the latest 3.8, seems a v3.7
[Android Auto General] 9h05t:
Thanks.

But the method from your post is more complex and I am not sure how long it will last.

Maybe after more people feedback its stability or someone create a more simpler way to apply the method.

I might have to stick to the current proven setup for the time being.

I'm wondering how the more active and involved members doing the testing and developing here (such as [MENTION=1180524]PauloC[/MENTION]orpo) would feel about a new thread? The biggest problem I see is that the thread is over 1000 messages and there have been a number of developments along the way. I don't think this is useful to any new person who comes along as it is way too much to read through and retain. We need a page one that gets updated with the latest working solution and downloads, or at least links to specific posts with that info.

I know this is a bit of a tedious thing to do. I am willing to manage the thread if you guys want someone to do that. I just don't want to step on any toes because I am not the one with the knowledge here...

[Android Auto General] Mad Medik:
In the meantime, I have a question.

When I select a link for navigation, Android Auto takes over and sends me to the Android Auto Nav screen with google maps.

Here is something strange. I was able to launch Waze in regular mirrored mode once. I tried google maos and discovered (as expected) it would not allow mirroring. However, when I tried to use Waze, it will no longer display on the screen. If I touch the app square, it lists waze as an open app, but won't display it (same as google maps).

Most of the time this is okay. However, i would like the option of using split screen on occasion, which requires viewing it as a mirrored appand not through the standard AA map screen.

Has anyone else noticed this and hopefully found a solution?
[Android Auto General] 9h05t:
The way I see it now, everyone's main preference is to not have to keep unlocking.

Whether or not we can use the latest versions of GPS, AA and other apps is not that important.

Currently now there are three methods for aamirror.

Unlock thru Slash unlock

Pro: simplest thru unlock app. Most proven to work.

Con: you have to use titanium to block updates for GPS 12. and this will either break other Google apps in the long run or prevent some new features from working.

Unlock thru manudroid app enabler

Pro: Simple thru app. Works for other apps besides aamirror.

Dev might incorporate Jen trigger method into his app in future.

Con: Might be similar to Slash method? Not sure if it works for latest version of GPS without need to reunlock every so often.

Unlock thru Jen method

Pro: seems like it will work for current most latest GPS 14. Not sure if titanium block GPS update required or not.

Con: more complex with coding involvement and also need a couple of other apps to work.

Not sure if it will still work with future GPS updates.

Relatively new method.

---------- Post added at 05:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 AM ----------

I think this was mentioned by cioce before that the latest Waze will no longer work on mirror, same as Gmap. He also mentioned the latest version number of Waze that you need to titanium block if u still wish to mirror it.
[Android Auto General] paolocorpo:
Thanks for your summary

Very useful !!

Nevertheless my personal experience with slash's unlock (= AA_unlock) and with manudroid19's unlock (=AAutoAppEnabler 1.1) is that despite I blocked with Titanium both AA and GPS the presence in speedometer menu of AA_mirror is NOT persistent :(

Jen94's procedure seems (two days for now) to keep it there

Cross the fingers ;)

[Android Auto General] qllkevuoi:
my experience is different from yours:

with both unlock apps, AAmirror appears in the listed apps on my car head unit when I launch AA ..

and I DO HAVE LATEST AA and GPS without any "titanium backup update block" (never used to be honest).

the only problem, very annoying, is that the unlock for AAMirror is not permanent.. so I must re-unlock almost every day

the "Jen94 procedure", instead, seems to unlock AAMirror (and other apps you want in the white list) permanently.

and, yes, it takes about 10 minutes instead the time needed to press an unlock button, but you have to do this just once for all.
[Android Auto General] 9h05t:
As I mentioned in the summary post #1224, Slash's aamirror unlock, you NEED to use Titanium to block GPS.

GPS above version 12.x.xx (I cant remember, think its 12.8.74) will cause you to need to keep unlocking.

Jen's method seemed to unlock the latest GPS, but we have to wait for newer updates of GPS to confirm if this is true.

Maybe I am too much of a noob to take the risk of applying this method without a video tutorial.

Again, I am not saying which method is better or anything.

For me, Slash method, I have used it for months without need to unlock till today.

Can you please add your modify for CarStream and AA_mirror Plus to Jen94 solution lines ?

Thanks.
[Android Auto General] qllkevuoi:
I'm sorry if I didn't understand, but to be clear..

.. I Think the most important thing for us is that all our system works as expected: so, the update-block through titanium backup isn't the answer to reach this target, 'cause it brings to system instability in the long time (force close of many apps-->impossibility to use an Android phone)

so I think there's no choice, or better .. just one choice, between "one-time longer method" or "everytime-shorter method". but continue to block updates, according to me, is useless and, on the contrary, counterproductive

I'm verifying if is possible to create a executable sh file to automate the Jen94's procedure, or if I can put all in a flashable zip trough twrp..

I mean an all-in-one package, with the installation of sqlite3 executable, needed to follow the rest of the procedure)

years ago I learn a couple of things on how to create flashable zip, but forgot everything :o:o so I don't promise anything..

You are right and I absolutely agree.

But not everyone is as savvy and currently I would say Jen's method is the most complex.

But it would be cool if you are able to achieve what you mentioned.

I think that would help a lot of folks here.

But they will still need to be a little savvy to follow those steps.
