ok ... I live without it then ...:(

Is there a way to know (beforehand) if contend is protected or not ?
[Android Auto General] sirfrancis17:
Works fine. Thanks
[Android Auto General] docwood2011:
Seem to be missing something. Installed APK, I can see AAMirror on dash, click on it and get app grid, but when I click on any app it is just a blank screen?
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
Works great!

I have been using TomTom Navigation, sound coming from my Car-radio via Bluetooth - very usable!

Of cause it's a pity that changes at the application (e.g. select route) need to be done one the phone, and not on the car-touchscreen.

Thanks!
[Android Auto General] PSM 6.4:
Awesome, works great compiled apk of off latest source code from github.

Thanks, its a life saver.
[Android Auto General] AndroidenKalle:
Why?

I control all applications on the AA headunit in the same way as on my phone with AAMirror.
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
Hmm, interesting ...

I just tried a few other apps, and none can be controlled from the headunit. There is simply no reaction to any touch inside that app.

The buttons (e.g. favorites) on the left-right boarder are working, but nothing inside the actual app.

(I am using a Xiaomi A1, with Android 8.0, in an Opel Astra)
[Android Auto General] AndroidenKalle:
Do you have root access? Maybe that's the problem.
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
No, I did not root my phone - but maybe I should consider it ....

Thanks!
[Android Auto General] Techvir:
Compiled the app today. I am waiting to have my head unit display installed in my car

When they open the app there is a blank screen with says dummy display. Is this the normal display of the AAmirror app on the phone?

Thanks
[Android Auto General] jinpachi:
Are your guys phones filling up the entire screen space for mirroring? It does for me when I test it on the computer, but not in the car. Im just wondering if it is a common problem.
[Android Auto General] ahhl:
can share the apk. i am figuring out how to use github
[Android Auto General] dhageuk:
sorry but can someone please tell me the step by step on how to use this?

thanks!
[Android Auto General] Uksus17:
Hi guys. Try another version. It is more efficient especially with a root. Unfortunately the screen of the smartphone can not be turned off but you can minimize the brightness. :good:
[Android Auto General] Techvir:
How did u test it in ur pc ?
[Android Auto General] jinpachi:
I tested it through an application called android head unit and compiled it through android studio if I needed to update the app. It displays perfectly through that method, but is shown as a smaller screen while in my car.
[Android Auto General] ravenrocha:
And did you tried with AA 3.1 and GPS 12.5.29?
[Android Auto General] slash_m_a_x:
Root is required. someone pliz send me a logcat with the crash
[Android Auto General] ravenrocha:
And what versions are supported? AA 3.1 and GPS 12.5.29? Or it could be used only last versions?
[Android Auto General] Pixege:
Yes, I have rooted Xperia Z5 Compact. The older AAMirror works without any complaints.

I installed the updated AAMirror and it works ok, but I do not see any news in it. AAM_unlock starts, I see information that it has granted rights to the system shell and then it turns off displaying an error. I have an older version of GPS and AA version 2.9.
[Android Auto General] ravenrocha:
Just tried now with AA 3.1 and GPS 12.5.29, as Slash_max was testing, and in AAunlock I have the same crash with rooted phone. Root permissions are asked for AA_Unlock and I've granted..
[Android Auto General] slash_m_a_x:
Crash should be fixed, should work with gps 12.6.85 and AA 3.2.58.

https://github.com/slashmax/AAMirror/blob/master/apk/aam_unlock.apk
[Android Auto General] ravenrocha:
Just tried now with new aa_unlock version, GPS 12.6.85 and AA 3.2.58. aa_unlock didnt crash now and in the end asked to reboot the phone, Will try now AA 3.2 on my car. Looks very promising!! Awesome job Slash_max!!!!
[Android Auto General] battler2006:
Crash fixed and Message to reboot appears. I Test it tomorrow and hope it works. Thx for your great work.
[Android Auto General] ravenrocha:
Amazing work Slash!!! Everything is working fine on AA 3.2 + GPS 12.6.85. Many thanks for your hard work!!
[Android Auto General] datasource:
Great news. Have you tested other third party apps?
[Android Auto General] ravenrocha:
Yes, everything is working ok with 3rd party apps. Tried several ones.
[Android Auto General] datasource:
Wow! Must test this tomorrow. Thank you.
[Android Auto General] SLAB_8002:
Interesting. The other 3rd party apps aren't working for me. I went back and re-installed them using ADB in order to set the install vendor, and they're still not working.
[Android Auto General] slash_m_a_x:
Only aamirror whitelisted for now
[Android Auto General] datasource:
It's a good idea to test it thoroughly with a single app. Thank you [MENTION=8826213]slash_m_a_x[/MENTION]
[Android Auto General] kaiserSS:
So we have to use adb to instal it right?

Enviado desde mi SM-N9005 mediante Tapatalk
[Android Auto General] battler2006:
Confirm. Works like a charm. Thx a lot for your hard work and for sharing it. :cool:

I used it with an Android Box and Android Auto USB Dongle.
[Android Auto General] datasource:
Unfortunately it's not working here or I'm doing something wrong.
[Android Auto General] battler2006:
If you got the Message to reboot your phone. Reboot and connect it to your Car. Android Auto will Start and swipe to unlock and get to your Homescreen. You will prompted to give some Rights for AAMirror. After that you get full Access. Try to uninstall all AAMirror and Unlock Apps and Reboot and try again. It works for sure.
[Android Auto General] SLAB_8002:
Ok, good to know. That's 99% of what I will use anyway.
[Android Auto General] BostonDan:
I echo ravenrocha's sentiment! Awesome job Slash_m_a_x! I've been wanting this for awhile!

One question, I know you put multitouch (root). I'm assuming that's just to open the minilauncher? I do not seem to have touch on my screen that's projected, nor to keyboards, etc.

Would be awesome if one could fully control the phone through the touch screen of the vehicle.

In any case, this is definitely the 80% solution to controlling/displaying ones phone!

Again, greatly appreciate your excellent work, slash_m_a_x!

Cheers,

B.D.
[Android Auto General] SLAB_8002:
Check and make sure that AA Mirror has root permissions. The newest version didn't request them when I first opened it, so it wouldn't adjust screen resolution or allow multi-touch. I had to go into the Super SU app and grant root permissions to AA Mirror. Once I did that, everything worked as normal.
[Android Auto General] BostonDan:
Had to enable appear over other apps. Now all is good! Full touch capability. Woot!

Cheers,

B.D.
[Android Auto General] SLAB_8002:
Glad it worked out.
[Android Auto General] bggold:
What other 3rd party apps do you have working? How did you get them to work?

Thanks
[Android Auto General] bggold:
I have noticed a few minor things.

About 25% of the time it does not start when I enable it on my Ford sync 3 display.

At times when it starts the app will open on its own on the display.

Just my observation so far running it for a day.

Not sure if it is a setting or not, but my icons seem very grainy. I have set in AA Dev both 1080 and 720.

Is there a setting I am missing or is this the way they will look?

Thanks

[Android Auto General] Uksus17:
Unfortunately other 3rd party apps (AAM+, CarStream, ect.) don't work
[Android Auto General] bggold:
I am aware they do not work. I tested them, but this guy said they did and was wondering what he meant by 3rd party did work and if he meant non Google play how did he get them to work.
[Android Auto General] Uksus17:
Yes ... I'm sorry, I didn't read all posts. Really interesting what he meant. Maybe he know how. I also have some ideas. Today or tomorrow I'll try to implement them.
[Android Auto General] IAmScorpionz:
Tested with AA mirror, AA unlock, Google Play Services 12.6.85 and AA 3.2.57 and it works great. The only thing is missing is the back button. And when using MX player cant use the touchscreen in the head unit. Using chevy mylink 2. Was using AA mirror+ and have the back button on the sidebar. While this one don't.

Why you would want carstream if you can mirror the apps like watching youtube using youtube vanced?:p:p
[Android Auto General] Uksus17:
There are several reasons for this:

1. AAM does not normal work with Samsung (S7, S8) so we made AAM +

2. When I watch a video with MX, the smartphone's screen glows at full brightness. And in CarStraam this is not

3. There are also other applications :D
[Android Auto General] IAmScorpionz:
The differences with AAM+ ? Can we use it in GPS 12.6.85 and AA 3.2?

Can you make the UI more like AAM?

Can't you set the brightness? Mine doesn't have any problem at all. The only thing is the touchscreen function seems not working in MX.

What's the other apps? Thank you.
[Android Auto General] kaiserSS:
Anyone can show me how it works the two finger tap? A video will be great.

Thank in advanced.

[Android Auto General] ravenrocha:
Yes, it's true. I made a confusion about 3rd party apps... I just use AA. I have Samsung Note 8 with root and what are the problems that you said about S7, S8 and having to use AAM+? Can you give me some examples? Also the "resize" of the screen from Note 8 to my car, although its full screen, fonts are a little granny. Well I'm using WQHD+ (2990x1440) resolution on note 8. Maybe because of that? I also select in dev options in AA to output to 1080p. Should I make something else to make it look better, specially the fonts?

AA Mirror Plus (for Samsung and ect) with AAM Unlock support.
[Android Auto General] ravenrocha:
How to use it? Just install it over AAM? Or do I have to uninstall AMM?

Great work! Thanks!
[Android Auto General] PeeHoo:
Yeap full step by step instructions would be nice...
[Android Auto General] ravenrocha:
Just tried now on my Note 8 and its not working. Just black like 5 "flash" black screens attempts and then goes back to AA.

The steps I did:

1 - Uninstall AAM

2 - Install AAM+

3 - Grant AAM+ root permissions

4 - Run AAM_unlock and reboot the phone

5 - Went to apps to give all the necessary permissions for AAM+

6 - Run AA and then AAM+ and only those 5 black screen "flashes" and no go

Tried with AAM+ default settings and also by chaging some, but no luck

Went back to AAM and everything is working again.

What did I do wrong?

Thanks!
[Android Auto General] SLAB_8002:
No luck with AAM+ here either. I don't get the 5 flashes, but I get the message shown in the attached pictures.
[Android Auto General] Uksus17:
I'm sorry, I posted a special Russian version with manually setting the screen resolution (I use this version). Now I will reload another version :(

Done.
[Android Auto General] SLAB_8002:
No worries, it just wasn't working for me. The version you just uploaded works great, thanks for the fix. I mainly use AAM+ for the ability to hide the status bar.

Now if someone can just figure out how to whitelist apps without root, I'll have everything I need. I miss being able to use AA Widgets on my non-rooted "daily driver". It solved a significant complaint I had about AA.
[Android Auto General] bggold:
Thumbs up for AA widgets even if it needs root. Miss it too.
[Android Auto General] Uksus17:
All that exists without root is managed by Google...:angel:

If we want to control everyone, we need to root. :cowboy:
[Android Auto General] bggold:
I installed the new version you uploaded and when I press the button on my head unit it flashes black a few times then it goes back to the main screen on the head unit.

After installing I ran the unlocker.

Pixel 2 xl v8.1 and Ford sync 3.

Thanks
[Android Auto General] ravenrocha:
Where did u upload the new AAM+ version?

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 PM ----------

Did you tried with an new AAM+ version? I don't see where that new version was uploaded... in the "first new" version that was the problem I was having.
[Android Auto General] bggold:
About 11 posts back he just changed the file he shared. Before it was in Russian and now it is English. Once you install let us know if you have the same issue.

Thanks
[Android Auto General] Uksus17:
Yes i change the file
[Android Auto General] bggold:
Do you know why some of us are ahving issues with when we press the app button on AA head unit it just flashes a couple times and then returns to the main screen?
[Android Auto General] ravenrocha:
Having the same issue with this couple of times "flashes" behaviour. From the new AAM+ version to this "patched" one, I get exactly the same problem. I have a Samsung Note 8 Oreo device. The previous version got root permissions as soon as it run first time, even outside AA. This new "patched" version not even in AA gets root permission. I have the always grant root setting.
[Android Auto General] bggold:
No root request for me either.
[Android Auto General] kaiserSS:
We have to install AAM with adb? Or just download apk and install it? Same for unlock?

I have the same issue with the flashes.

Enviado desde mi SM-N9005 mediante Tapatalk
[Android Auto General] Uksus17:
Because in the AAM Plus settings, you must first set the standard smartphone resolution. The program must know what permission to return.

Once again: I ask everyone! Do not use AAM Plus if you have a normally working standart version of AAM.

Normal version from slashmax here:
[Android Auto General] ravenrocha:
I've tried also that. My Note8 has WQHD+ resolution, I set the 2960 x 1440 resolution on AMM+ and the problem is the same. Doesn't ask for root permissions and I have those 4 ou 5 black screen "flashes".
[Android Auto General] Brignoud:
It's working pretty flawlesly

Only on my A3 with Ford Sync 3 it doesn't rotate nor show in full screen even if settled with Force (at 90°)

Any help?

Thank you
[Android Auto General] mele80:
Why.my screen size is now smaller than usually. all apps and os have black bars left and right all the time

Edit....got it back to normal with screen shift app
[Android Auto General] kpalakode:
My samsung galaxy s6 had the same problem after i mirrored the phone using AAmirror and AAunlock. The phone screen had black bars around it, and i fixed it with screen shift app.

Thank you
[Android Auto General] BostonDan:
Shoot. I had this working perfectly. Then I tried to re-pair my Wear watch and accidentally erased the GPS bluetooth settings on my phone instead of my watch (so I didn't have to erase my entire watch to start over). Now, I can;t get AA_Mirror to work! It doesn't ask for root permission and does not see the app on the "Show all Apps" on Sync.

Damn!

I hope I can get this working again. It's freakin' incredible to be able to actually use Google Play music to choose the artist and album instead of the dumb AA Google Play Music interface where you tell it to play an artist and it just chooses all the songs by that artist in a jumbled order.

Cheers,

B.D.
[Android Auto General] sherifboudy1@gmail.com:
Hello friends;

Thank you slash max for the great work. I have a mercedes w213 with wide screen cockpit, which is not touch sensitive. I also have a non rooted galaxy note 8. I'm not sure if this method would work with my car so I'm not really enthusiastic to root my phone . Did anyone try on a non touch screen to tell us how it went.

Thank you
[Android Auto General] kaiserSS:
Well Ihad the issue with black screen and now I don't have it. My solution.

Unistall AA then AAM or AAM+ , finaly AAUnlock.

Optional--> Reboot.

1. Install AA. Run it and configure as you want. In my case I don't activate developer mode but 3rd apps see without problem, maybe because I had before.

2. Install AAM.apk normal mode, without PC and things like that.

3.Install AAUnlock.

4. Start AAUnlock give rights with SU. Push the button and when it is done, reboot.

5.Connect mobile to your car and in my case the flashes dissappear, the SU rights appears in the mobile screen because of AAM, I accept and everything run almost perfectly.

As others say, I have little vertical black bars around the screen after using AAM, less than 1mm.

Try it and good luck.

Not working for me ....

I installed AA-Mirror and AAM-Unlock from github, have AA3.2.581534 and GPS12.6.85, but AA-Mirror is not showing in AA.

Both AA-Mirror and AAM-Unlock have su-privileges. 'unknown sources' is enabled in AA.

I did not use ADB to install AA-Mirror and AAM-Unlock as recommended in the previous post.

What am I missing?

(I had it running for the last few months with AA2.9 and GPS11.9)
[Android Auto General] Adeptuz:
Silence after I press "unlick" and give the SU rights in the AAUnlock. No request to reboot.

Huawei p10 lite, android 7.
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
I am using AA Mirror (how can I actually check if plus or not? I've downloaded it from GitHub) with AA Unlock (which works GREAT, wonder if it will unlock other apps like AA Passenger someday), but touch input is a little bit offset on my Rooted LG V10 (could it be for the second screen?). I have to press a little bit on the right to have the right input where I want. Hope this gets fixed.
[Android Auto General] korto:
Works like charm and with GPS 12.6.88 beta.
[Android Auto General] msc53:
I applied your procedure, however, AAMirror appeares on menu when click on it black screen comes up. With two fingers touch, I can see phone applications but I can not run them except google map.
[Android Auto General] bggold:
Let the cat and mouse game begin again.

Looks like Google play services 12.8.59 beta breaks all apps again.

I had AA mirror and odb2aa working about 3 hours ago and bam gps beta got updated.

Edit: looks like they have disabled unknown sources and you no longer can get into developer options. I cleared all data and tried. I'm not in front of a PC have a feeling they will be accessable from as emulator but it will get disabled again once plugged into car.

Edit #2: no access to developer menu actually it seems to pickup AA.

AA emulator shows 3rd party apps as before.

Solution seems to be to somehow silulate AA emulator when hooked up to vehicle.
[Android Auto General] SLAB_8002:
Still working with GPS 12.6.88. I'll wait for the next stable release of GPS and see what happens.
[Android Auto General] BostonDan:
I have GPS 12.6.85 and still can't get this working again. I have tried uninstalling all apps (AA, aam_unlock, and AAM) and reinstalling. I have cleared the GPS (pm clear com.google.android.gsm) and then rebooting and trying to reinstall. I can use aa_unlock and it says root access granted and tells me to reboot, but AA mirror never shows up on the apps when I put AA into developers mode, nor does it request root (I'm using magisk v16.0).

Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

B.D.
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
This matches my situation exactly ...
[Android Auto General] IAmScorpionz:
You should check the magisk and tap the menu or hamburger then see if the AA Mirror enabled or disabled. That's it. Have you enabled the unknown sources in the developer settings?
[Android Auto General] BostonDan:
In Magisk it does not even ask for root from AA Mirror. This, going into Magisk and checking the superuser for the apps does not give the option to set AA Mirror to root permissions. Until AA Mirror requests superuser, Magisk doesn't see the program.

Ugh. This is frustrating.

Cheers,

B.D.
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
Even without su-privileges we should be able to see and launch AA-Mirror within AA.

SU is only required for 'touch ' within apps launched by AAM (at least in the past it was this way)
[Android Auto General] IAmScorpionz:
I had the problem like you before. And I just tap again the AA unlock and then reboot phone. After that checking again the magisk and supersu and voila the option for the AA mirror is available and disabled by default. You just need to tap it to enable it.

Now I don't even have any problem at all. And the back button is back too. ;)

Hope this help you.
[Android Auto General] pacorey:
It works perfect in my Honda Civic X with my rooted Samsung galaxy note 4.

Thank you.
[Android Auto General] fun_olivier:
Hi thank you for the new job done ! It works again on my Seat Leon Fr. The only issue I have is Waze application which is not in full screen neither on my phone nor the car display. All others applications are in full screen. I tried all AAMirror display settings without success. Someone got the same trouble ?
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
Too bad, your recommendation did not help ...
[Android Auto General] BostonDan:
Nor for me. I have tried AA_unlock multiple times and AA_mirror never registers as a potential development app on my Ford Sync unit.

Cheers,

B.D.
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
Maybe it's related to the phone or Android version used.

For me it's a Xiaomi A1, running Android 8.0 (Android One, stock), rooted with Magisk16.4.

If there is no solution, I will go back to AA2.9 and GPS11.9 which was was running with no problem
[Android Auto General] IAmScorpionz:
I'm using Mi Note 4X, running Android 7.0 (stock global), rooted with Magisk16.0

It works for me as I need to unlock multiple times, and reboot and suddenly the AA Mirror appeared in the supersu in magisk.

I tried the unlock multiple times after reboot, unlock, reboot, and so on. It wasn't even there the option for AA mirror for root permission.

But after doing that step repeatedly the option was there, but still manual because of no pop up for root permission. :)

It was based on my experienced. ;)
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
Are you able to see AA-Mirror in the OEM-Tab of Android Auto if you are NOT rooted?

I remember that despite being NOT rooted I was able to see AAM in AA, but touch controls did not work

Now, I cannot see AAM in AA at all.
[Android Auto General] datasource:
Try magisk 16.0. Everything working ok here on my Xiaomi mi a1 with Los 15.1.
[Android Auto General] rkhshm:
Mine is Moto X-Play and I tried both the version of the APK with the newest android auto from play store.

I don't see the AA mirror option when I connect the phone. Any ideas?
[Android Auto General] IAmScorpionz:
Yes, as someone stated before you can see it and use it. But you can't control it via the touchscreen. You can only control it using smartphones.

It's still available for me. I froze the GPS update so it can't go any further than version 12.6.85.

Maybe it has something to do related to it? ;)
[Android Auto General] ml3000:
Has anyone got this to work on Android P DP3? I updated to DP3 today and now I cant seem to make this work. It worked on DP2.
[Android Auto General] SLAB_8002:
The issue is that the current unlock method requires root, according to [MENTION=8826213]slash_m_a_x[/MENTION]. [MENTION=842765]Emil Borconi[/MENTION] posted that he is close to figuring out how to make ODB2AA work with unrooted devices - hopefully his method will carry over to other 3rd party apps.
[Android Auto General] Emil Borconi:
Yes I'm getting closer with obd2aa non-root fix, however after some information exchanged today between [MENTION=8826213]slash_m_a_x[/MENTION] and myself there are still some potential pitfalls, namely that Google can anytime remotely blacklist a package name, meaning that fix will work, but you might need to keep changing the package names quite often which will be very annoying... so keep that in mind.... I just hope that they won't blacklist the obd2aa package name...
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
Thanks for your replys!

Magisk 16.0 did not help

My problem is that I cannot see AA-Mirror in OEM-tab at all.

AA-Unlock is rooted ...
[Android Auto General] ml3000:
Same with me. Was working yesterday for me however. I don't see the app at all.
