It's a bit off-topic, but here's my latest "solution" for a decent and cheap car display without messing to much with your daily driver phone:

Instead of Android-Auto get yourself a cheap iphone with ios10/11 (it must be jailbreakable). An iphone 5/C/S is enough. Then jailbreak it, install CarBridge and then you will get a Portal App which mirrors iOS.

The next step im going to try is to mirror Android to iOS. I'm not sure yet if this can be achieved without rooting though.
[Android Auto General] exovision:
iOS :eek:
[Android Auto General] ahhl:
wow

share with us yr finding

i am, now have 2nd android phone on my car permanent.

may want to try ios, if it work
[Android Auto General] ktwo:
Well it does infact work. Actually after using it for a while i noticed that it isn't even necessary to do mirroring stuff from android to ios, because everything i need is available for ios, and it is a much better experience than any android auto hack. Why? Because It does not require you to downgrade anything, no "patcher" except the regular "jailbreak" and CarBridge installation -> after that it just works. The "Portal" app gives you a mirrored iOS, and you can select which Apps to "bridge" (= show on the main screen). Apps with regular CarPlay will work without jailbreaking too as a sidenote. Especially Spotify and Maps ist lightyears ahead because you can actually search for songs and type a street without a nag screen about "road safety" (which by the way is simply hilarious, because on Android Auto, i've used my phone during driving more than i do with CarPlay simply because of the nag screens which are meant for road-safety. I REALLY hope google will understand this one day, and the Android Auto 5.x revamp will cover this). An iPhone 5C with iOS10 is enough for this. Just check canijailbreak before buying it. It will NOT work on the latest iOS devices!

Hi all,

Using CS 2.0 currently on my op3t without any issues. Oxygen OS update to Pie is available but im not sure if the phenotype solution works on pie. Can anyone guide me whether i can update to pie or should i stay with oreo? thx in advance.
[Android Auto General] zencooler:
You can use Phenotype Patcher also on Pie. It works fine here :)
[Android Auto General] Sjhingan:
Thanks! will try it. Im guessing Phenotype patcher .4 and not .5?
[Android Auto General] zencooler:
Why. 4 or. 5??? Use the latest 0.85.

You can download from here:

[Android Auto General] Sjhingan:
thank you..will do.

How can I change the size of the bottom bar?

I use AA as an AA Mirror and bother me, this lower band is too big

Is there any way to change that?

I use LG V30 H930 Rooted 8.0
[Android Auto General] lenuisible2:
Hi everyone,

first a big thank to [MENTION=8826213]slash_m_a_x[/MENTION] for his app, I was able to use an old SG3 to test this on my Audi A4.

Now I have a question for Android Guru : my car doesn't have a touchscreen, but a click wheel with a touch enabled surface. I was wondering if there is an android app that could display input sent to the phone through ADB (as I assume is AA way to send commands from car to phone apps).

The final idea would be to see if the click wheel (and even better its touch surface) could be used to emulate a mouse and navigate the phone (it would require a modification of AA_mirror app, but we are not there yet...)

Thanks !
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
Well, Android Auto has really nothing to do with ADB, there's a setting in Android developer settings, which is called "Pointer location" and that might do for you.
[Android Auto General] BostonDan:
I wanted to see if anybody had this issue:

My phone gets really hot when playing a video through AA Mirror screen mirroring (the phone states it is getting hot and thermal protections kick in with a warning that performance may be degraded).

Not sure what would cause this, as I am only playing a YouTube video.

If anybody has any advice, I'd appreciate it.

Cheers,

B.D.
[Android Auto General] AndroidenKalle:
Because:

+ The display is always on

+ Charging

+ Play the video

+ Mirror the screen
[Android Auto General] zencooler:
That's why for playing YouTube videos you should use CarStream instead of mirroring smartphone screen.

BTW: CarStream is also playing any other videos from local smartphone memory and SD card.
[Android Auto General] :
You can't. But android auto will take a big upgrade soon. Next version change bottom bar, or lets hope it may give option to hide.
[Android Auto General] jhford:
Could someone give me a quick overview?

I have a 2015 VW eGolf. The infotainment system does not have a USB input. Can I mirror, if that's the connect word, my android phone or tablet to the screen? Are there other options other than mirroring? If so, where do I start? Right now, I use Android Auto for Google Maps and podcasts via Bluetooth. Thanks
[Android Auto General] MerijnB:
Since today I have issues with using Waze through AA with mirror. Sometimes it won't start, sometimes it starts but the UI is broken (buttons without captions, etc). Other apps work fine. I've restored an older version of Waze which worked before and that doesn't make a difference, so it seems something changed in AA. Anyone else has these issues or knows how to fix?
[Android Auto General] zencooler:
Try to clear cache and data of Waze app and then restore Waze app from backup. It should work.
[Android Auto General] MerijnB:
I already did a uninstall and reinstall, that didn't make any difference.
[Android Auto General] zencooler:
As I wrote: try to clear cache and data and then install app from the backup. Reinstalling app is not clearing its data.
[Android Auto General] MerijnB:
In the end I got it working again, but clearing the cache and data wasn't enough. I had to revert to a much older version of waze (4.43.11). It all feels a little odd, if I find out more about the cause I'll post it here.
[Android Auto General] MerijnB:
Today I just updated waze to the latest version again and it just kept working. No clue what the original cause was and which step was fixed it, but this to confirm that the current latest version of waze (4.55.2.2) works with a mirrored screen (for me).
[Android Auto General] zencooler:
Thanks for the info. By the way: why do you use Waze via AA Mirror? Waze is supported directly on AA so what is the reason of this indirect way?
[Android Auto General] MerijnB:
Yep, use through AA mirror. Reason is two fold, I don't like the dimmed down version of waze on AA (less features), and I run other apps next to waze.
[Android Auto General] zencooler:
OK. I see.
[Android Auto General] :
I Just read that the new version of android auto has started.

Has anyone tried mirroring in last version? Can we update without problem?

Thanks,

[Android Auto General] LLStarks:
https://github.com/endyrubbin/AAStream

Somebody came up with a new mirroring solution that may not need AA Phenotype.
[Android Auto General] zencooler:
Wow. It works for me! Even on Samsung Note 9 with Pie it doesn't need ScreenStream (on AA Mirror there is a bug with black screen on Pie system).

It works really great! Congrats for dev! I will write this thanks on his github.
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
Surely it will have the SQL commands to unblock the app bundled in. No big deal IMHO. Still root is needed to unblock apps (and that's a game changer for most of the people). Root is needed anyways for redirecting input. However if it improves compatibility with Android Pie (expecially Samsung devices), it should be useful.
[Android Auto General] DarkSide10:
Comparison, observation between AAMirror and AAStream.

[MENTION=1072347]zencooler[/MENTION],

I have read your observations on Github and for the most part agree.

But here with me there are with HTC One M8, Android 6 much larger problems with the resolution and density of the Smartphone compared to the AAMirror.

With sound I have not observed any problems here.

Rotation does not work properly here after the first test.

And it's definitely missing Immersive mode.

Open the Sidebar until now only every 3-4 times.

But the worst part is the screen of my HTC after quitting AAStream. A total disaster!

Tested with Android Auto 4.4.592343

With AAMirror and Phenotype Patcher no such problems.

On the contrary. For me, AAMirror works even better.

Maybe you can report this to the developer on Github. I am not logged in there.

Sorry for my english and best regards.
[Android Auto General] zencooler:
Ok. I will test the next version (published today) and let the developer know about my observation + your comments.

Maybe you tried the version 1.1.0.x that has changed options for resolution restore. I didn't test it yet (tested version 1.0.6).
[Android Auto General] DarkSide10:
Thanks for that.

I also tested with Version 1.0.6. Will test it later with the new version and report.
[Android Auto General] DarkSide10:
Hi zencooler,

Test done with the new version and there is still much bigger disaster than before with the smartphone screen!

Just like you wrote that on Github.

The visual and functional implementation of AAStream is really good. The technical but still pretty bad!

That's what makes AA Mirror even better with me.
[Android Auto General] zencooler:
OK. Thanks for the test and feedback.

So we are waiting for the next step by dev now ;)
[Android Auto General] DarkSide10:
Exactly, we will see it :good:

The developer writes, best to take Android Auto version ~ 3 for it. It also works with 4.4.5 ......

The problem with the smartphone screen but has nothing to do with it.

I'm really curious if AAStream and AAMirror will even work with the new Android Auto version after the big Google Update :confused:
[Android Auto General] cioce:
https://github.com/endyrubbin/AAStream/tree/master/apk_releases

aa-stream-v1.1.0.27.apk is out, he have added setting for audio focus.

I will test that version, the previous one had serious touchscreen problems.
[Android Auto General] DarkSide10:
Hi everybody,

I just tried the new version. It's much better than the last one.

I still have a little problem with the smartphone screen after quitting AAStream. There is no more chaos on the screen, only the resolution is too big.

But it is exactly the same problem as with AAMirror. It's not perfect yet, but I can live with that. One click on Resolution Changer and everything is fine again.

The developer writes on Github:

"About the screen rotation, the setting title might be misleading - I don't force the screen rotation, the rotation is changed by overriding the system preference and works only for apps that support rotation . For this to work - write system preferences permission must be granted and also try to disable auto-rotation."

Ok I understand. Too bad, because AAMirror automatically turns Screen Rotation off in Android Auto mode.

And most of all, AAMirror can really flip any app horizontally when mirrored.

AAStream so far not yet.

Opening the sidebar is still not working right here for me!

Two finger touch works. Unfortunately, other existing methods are not :(

And thank you for immersive mode :good: :)
[Android Auto General] calichelozano:
I also have the resolution problem. AAstream messes up my s7 edge on Oreo. Even if I go back to AA, it remains messed up after I disconnect the usb cable. AAstream looks promising, please work on this. Thanks!
[Android Auto General] zencooler:
We know the issue. I wrote it to devs on GitHub with some idea to solve this :)
[Android Auto General] DarkSide10:
[MENTION=1072347]zencooler[/MENTION],

That's what you described very well on Github :good:

Maybe you can still write to him, he should check the touches of the sidebar, because this does not really work out yet.
[Android Auto General] calichelozano:
I have "two taps for side menu" and it works with three taps. :laugh:
[Android Auto General] DarkSide10:
Yes, the whole thing is still a bit confused ;)
[Android Auto General] Johnny™:
glad this is happening and keeping an eye on it. Im running Pie on an S5 but haven't quite worked out the combination to even allow AA stream on it. as every restart it removes the AAstream app, im trying with different versions of gapps and AA but no luck yet.
[Android Auto General] Johnny™:
what is Resolution Changer? i cant find it if its in the app store?

No root

Can any one help me step by step how to mirror my phone ]
[Android Auto General] namfat:
No root, no used. It's simple principle.

1. Preparing:

- Please check your vehicle support Auto Android or not? Simple that when you install Auto Android and connect to your car, it work or not?

- Download app needed: AA Stream (see my previous post for link, download v1.2.7 pls), Auto Android (mine is 4.4.59xx)

- First you need root your device to use AA Stream. No root, no used.

2. Then for your phone device:

- Download & Install AA Stream, set root privilege.

- Open AA Stream, click unlock Auto Android on top of application display.

- Once done, reboot phone.

3. Now plug again phone to your car. It will show the AA Stream on the others apps in the car screen.

4. Click on it to launch AA Steam. That is.

5. Now your phone screen is mirror to your car screen. You can play or run what ever app on your phone, it will show in car screen.

P/S:

- My vehicle is Ford and it support Auto Android with Sync 3 technology.

- My phone is Note9 rooted.

- If you need more screenshots or videos, I will provide. But please check the condition needed to prepare.

Sorry, no root no mirror. I have no ideal. If your device couldn't rooted, then use default fuctions of Auto Android only.
[Android Auto General] aqilalajmi2017:
Its ok brother

Just asking

AA MIRROR IS WORKING WITHOUT ROOT CORRECT ?

IF I HAVE THE LATEST UPDATE FOR ANDROID AUTO / GOOLE PLAY ?!

IS THERE ANY OTHER MAPS CAN WORK WITH ANDROID AUTO ?!

ONE TIME I SAW CHINA DEVICE CALLED ANDROID BOX YOU JUST PLUS IT IN YOUR HEAD UNIT ANY KIND OF UNIT AND IT WILL RUN ANDROID SYSTEM + ORIGINAL HEAD UNIT SYSTEM BOTH
[Android Auto General] zencooler:
AA Mirror without root can only share screen with no touch support (if any).

In the standard way (without root) you can use maps: Google Maps, Waze and newest TomTom. Maybe there are other maps supported by AA but I didn't tested others.
[Android Auto General] namfat:
AA Mirror still require root my friend.

As I said, without root, you can only use supported functions of Auto Android include Google Maps, some Music Player, Phone and Message.

For other question: you can use Android Interface to connect to Car screen. Then car screen will be come android device with full functions. But it depend your car support interface or not.
[Android Auto General] aqilalajmi2017:
Yes brother its android interfece

I'm looking for way to root my phone i hope i can get .

I was thinking about android tv box and Android tv stick

What's the idea is to run those devices with the screen of the head unit ,

Its just an idea it can be worked or not

I'm not programmer

This will be very good thing , so any head unit has window / can be work with android

Just an idea hope developers got my point

Thanks

That is strange. I updated Android Auto to ver. 4.5.592854 and change bootval values according to sql update commands.

They are set up with 1 now (lines with name='Boardwalk__enabled'), phone was rebooted but no new interface is available.

On the phone and on the car screen display there is still old interface... :(

Is there any tip how to force to enable this new UI?
[Android Auto General] xls654:
google play services version? my play services is 18.3.82, download from apkmirror
[Android Auto General] zencooler:
GMS is the latest one: 18.4.52.

Maybe the new UI doesn't appear because my Android Auto has been upgraded (not Installed from the scratch)?

EDIT: It so simply. I didn't know there is a new option has to be switched on in settings of AA:

Open the Android Auto app on your phone.

Tap the three line menu icon in the top left corner.

Tap Settings.

Tap Try the new Android Auto to toggle it on

And that's it. Works with no problem at all. New UI is much better and user friendly :)

I saw that is disappared Developer option on new version and it's not possible enable it by press 3 or more time on About Android Auto.

So i can't set Unknow source and Developer mode, i must enable AAStream with previous version or i can proceed also with new version of Android auto?

Thanks again :)

[Android Auto General] zencooler:
In my AA (the same version) Developer Mode is still available (go to the Settings then three dots in right up corner). Maybe it's because I upgraded from the elder version.

By the way I am not sure you really need to have Unknow Sources checked for AA Stream. All you need to use it is enable this app using option itside this app or using AA Phenotype Patcher. I know it is noticed in the prerequisites of the AA Stream, but I used other 3rd party apps without Unknown Sources checked (didn't check it for AA Stream).

Good luck!

If you don't have option "Try the New Android Auto" in settings try to do do this procedure first:

1. Run command: sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.gms/databases/phenotype.db

2. Run SQL command: update flags set boolval=1 where name='Boardwalk__enabled';
