Hi. I downgrade google play service and google play store, but now youtube, gmail and android auto (maybe other apps) don't work because they ask updated play services....

How i wrong?
[Android Auto General] datasource:
You don't need to downgrade PlayStore.
[Android Auto General] Valera22:
I've already changed it, now the problem is that I do not open the android car because I do not have the google services updated.
[Android Auto General] revelare:
Ok, I have installed GPS 12.2, disabled automatic update via TB, installed AAMirror, downgraded Google Play to version 8, AA ver 2.9 - and still there is nothing appearing on my Android Auto screen (AAmirror choose option do not appear...). I had everything working fine, before the automatic upgrade of GPS to 12.5 :(
[Android Auto General] datasource:
Did you reinstall the special apps using ADB vendor method? You also need to check unknown sources on the programmer menu of AA.
[Android Auto General] Franceschiello:
I tried but i still have request to update play services and google apps don't work
[Android Auto General] SLAB_8002:
Make sure you downloaded the correct APK for GPS from APK Mirror. I had the same issue, and it was because I downloaded the APK for Android 4.0+, when I needed the one for Android 6.0+. APK Mirror has different GPS APKs depending on whether your device has 4.x, 5.x, 6.x, or 8.x.

Hi all,

Sorry to say but....as far as I know Lucky Patcher talking is not welcome here in XDA (piracy). I know you are using for a legit scope but I am not sure moderators would appreciate it anyway.

Just my 2 cents.
[Android Auto General] xanthrax:
guys , lucky patcher talk it is not allowed on xda under any circumstances as this is considered an well known warez tool.

Forum Rules

and also

There should be any other methods to prevent the apps from autoupdating , no need to reveal this ugly warez tool.

I have cleaned the thread from the unpleasant posts and I would recommend you to refrain from posting again.

Good luck and have fun on our XDA - Developers !

Thanks for understanding

[Android Auto General] vuoshino:
I didnt understand. There is a method to get the aa mirror plus working? Thanks
[Android Auto General] fun_olivier:
Use of Titanium Backup to prevent any automatic update of Google Play Services (you must stay with version anterior to 12.5)
[Android Auto General] vuoshino:
Is possible to make a guide to get the app work?
[Android Auto General] slash_m_a_x:
i'm running 3rd- party apps on AA 3.1.58 + GPS 12.5.29 for 2-3 weeks now. I'll release an unlock apk when i get around, but for now i prefer to wait for google to lose interest and release a new version to see if they block this method as well.

The unlock will require root.
[Android Auto General] guiguikoum:

[Android Auto General] ras786:

[Android Auto General] ravenrocha:
Thanks slash_m_a_x for all your hard work. So for now, no solution for ROM's without root access?

I'm running AA 2.9 + GPS 11.9 with non-root for several days (with Android 8.0) on Note 8 and the GPS never got updated so far to 12.5. When I had GPS 12.2 the auto-update of GPS was very quick to happen. So for non-root I think for now this is the best option: AA 2.9 + GPS 11.9

[Android Auto General] save6save:
I open Magisk, then from the left menu I go to Magisk Hide then I select AAM and then done ... right?
[Android Auto General] ravenrocha:
I think so, but I dont have a rooted phone. All I know is that you need to explicit give root permissions to AAMirror
[Android Auto General] save6save:
so I ask for help guys.

how do I give root permissions to AAM with Magisk if the app does not ask me for it alone?
[Android Auto General] xanthrax:
From magisk, go to the left upper corner, tap on those 3 dots and chose superuser, you'll see all apps requiring root
[Android Auto General] save6save:
The problem is that my superuser does not show AAM. how can I force it?

[Android Auto General] xoneatom:
I've been following this thread since the beginning and I've seen everyone go throw their shares of struggles and accomplishments. One thing that I've been dealing with that I haven't seen being mentioned is getting it to work on an unrooted S9 when it's stuck on the 12.5 GPS. Today, I figured out a temporary solution that I wanted to share. On the S9, after GPS auto updates, you can't downgrade it or uninstall the updates (or at least I couldn't for a while). It somehow gets locked in as a phone administrator even after the Find My Device is disabled. What I did was, I used a package disabler to disable and then re-enable GPS. That seems to disconnect it, allowing me to uninstall the updates. I was then able to get back on sub 12.2 and have AA + AAM working again. Yay.. Hopefully this helps anyone who's being dealing with the same. Bye.

Google Play Services

Lately on my S9 non root, downgrading the google play services also breaks the gmail app
[Android Auto General] Hoerli:
I have now read through some contributions here and do not see any great hope here at the moment.

I have installed on my Raspberry Pi Open Auto / Crankshaft and it works quite well.

I would like to use my normal navigation apps (Sygic or Here WeGo), but this is not possible with Google.

Is there a way to display the screen of the phone on the pi without root, play store downgrades or apps?

Is there a system for the pi that allows direct mirroring of the phone and may have a nice user interface for cars?

I can't figure out the current posts here.

Android Auto is a great system, only the limitations are extremely annoying.

Of course it depends on the fact that the apps do not disturb the driver in any way and I think that's very good too, but there are currently no good apps and not everyone wants to use Google services.

[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
it's getting more and more difficult to prevent GPS from updating automatically.

For the last few weeks I was 'disabling GPS' first and then installing GPS 12.2 and it was working.

Since a couple of days, it's updated automatically to GPS12.5, whatever I do

What could work?

Preventing update in Titanium seems not working anymore

Maybe a Tasker, Magisk or even Xposed Module could be used to either prevent update, or to re-install GPS 12.2 every time AA is starting

Anybody has an idea?
[Android Auto General] Richy101:
But does GPS then auto update back to latest version?
[Android Auto General] Uksus17:
Find and install an earlier version of Gmail

Summarize. What is necessary for normal operation of third-party applications today*?

1. Google services version 12.2.21 or 12.2.17

2. Android Auto 2.9.5749

3. AAMirror, CarPlay, etc.

4. The decision prohibiting updating of points 1-2.

5. Root for point 4 and two-way control of AAMirror.

P.S. AA 3.2 already come out :)
[Android Auto General] save6save:
How do you set point 4?

How can I give root permission to AAM if I'm never asked?

I have miui 9.5.3.0 Redmi Pro and root permissions with Magisk V16.0 [5.7.0 (115)]
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
Prohibiting updating of AA is easy: just uninstall the playstore version, and install AA V2.9 (you can download from many sites)

Prohibiting of Updating of Google Play Services: you can try to disable (which removes all the newer versions) and enable again, freeze and unfreeze, install V12.2 or lower manually before you start AA, use a custom ROM without pre-installed Google tools. Not sure if there is 'the recipe' - just try and see what's working for you.

Superuser for Mirrorscreen: it seems the request is coming too late. Working for me: 'grant always' (instead of the default 'prompt')

Hope it helps!
[Android Auto General] Uksus17:
Root for AAM: this is necessary in order to manage applications from the screen of the head unit. Without root it is possible to control the head unit only from a smartphone.
[Android Auto General] adisan2002:
Thanks for sharing! Do you have why when using AAMirrorPlus I'm receiving the following message on car unit:

"Не заданы параметрь ! восстановления экрана / Parameter is not set! recovery screen"?

Thanks in advance!
[Android Auto General] Uksus17:
strange application should be both in Russian and in English

That's right. Some models of devices incorrectly restore the resolution of the smartphone and distort the screen (Samsung). To do this, you need to set the resolution options for your smartphone just in case.

Therefore, in the application there are two scaling options: for resolution and for DPI.

In addition, in the settings you need to set the normal resolution of your smartphone. But it is not necessary if there are no problems.

You can see my settings and descriptions (Sorry, that in Russian. Translation has not yet done, maybe later)

[Android Auto General] adisan2002:
My S6 it seems to be incompatible. I'm receiving that message, although AAMirror is working flawlessly. And cannot have working AAMirrorPlus. Error message was in Russian. Translated with Google Translate.

Should I uninstall AAMirror? Cannot be installed in the same time with AAMirrorPlus?

Thanks!
[Android Auto General] Uksus17:
They can be installed in the same time.

But if there are no problems with AAM, you don't need AAM+ :)
[Android Auto General] adisan2002:
OK, thank you. I've thought that AAM+ was offering a more brilliant experience :)

Still testing it for another weeks. I was using disable services etc, but the GPS still update.
[Android Auto General] save6save:
the problem is that it automatically started and deactivated continuously without ever starting. (I do not know maybe it's due to the automatic update of GPS)

but is not it possible to make an app that has everything included? AA, AAM and GPS so that it can work independently?

as soon as I connect the phone to the car asks me if I want to pair it with AA, I could turn on a different application that will immediately make the Mirror...
[Android Auto General] Uksus17:
It seems like a problem with usb cable or connector.

Update the GPS should be disabled, because everything will work only in this kit.

It is not possible. Because GPS is not a simle application. About GPS. Any attempt to change makes it not working.

Got me a dedicated smartphone (about 100$) running android 8.1 only for android auto.

Disabled GPS with Titanium

Enabled Hotspot on my primary Smartphone

Connected to Hotspot with AA smartphone

No worries at all. Everything working as it should.
[Android Auto General] jordant2:
I thought about doing this too. But then I realized the play store updates gps. So I have the carstream (YouTube Auto) app working on my Galaxy Note 8. I uninstalled gps updates, then installed version 12.2.21, then I disabled the play store. No more gps updates. I use Galaxy apps or Amazon to update apps. Or just download them from apkmirror. I could root for full mirroring but all I need is YouTube and local media playing options. Just giving people an alternative option.

[Android Auto General] treezy26:
Yeah I tried everything. But I believe it's the phone I'm trying to use...
[Android Auto General] SLAB_8002:
Had the same thing happen to me. Check and make sure you downloaded the correct Play Services APK for your Android version. In my case, I downloaded the APK for 5.0+, when I have Android 7.0. I went back and downloaded the APK for 6.0+ and everything worked fine.

[Android Auto General] ravenrocha:
Hi all,

Finally I took courage to root my Note 8 Oreo and now I can use my car touch screen to control the APPS. Very nice :)

Regarding the options that only work with root, ie:

Screen size (root)

Immersive mode => I choose Full immersive

Adjust ratio on focus => I choose disable

Restore ratio on focus lost => I choose disable

I get full screen in my car touch screen but don't know what are the best "optoins" for these settings, that now and finally, I can use with rooted device.

How can I force to have always the screen in horizontal aspect, since when it is on the vertical on the phone, it is very small in my car touch screen?

Can you share your settings for who have also rooted the phone?

thanks!
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
Goto 'Screen Settings' -> Rotation -> Screen Rotation: Force and

'Screen Settings' -> Rotation -> Rotation Degree: 90 degree

Is working for me ....

Anybody get this working on Android 8.1?

I have installed GPS 12.2.27 and downgraded AA to version 2.9.

I am using AAM+ 1.2 and it opens. I am not prompted for SU nor does Magisk recognize AAM as a module for SU so I can't set it to root permissive.

Furthermore, on my Ford Fusion with Sync 3 it does not show up at all.

I have set AA on my phone to developer mode and allowed unknown packages, but still nothing.

I would love to get this working.

Good morning,

So for make the aa mirror working i have to install gps 12.2.21 and wich version of android auto? Imust to downgrade the google play store too or desn t metter?
[Android Auto General] abnormal1379:
Android Auto must be pre 3.0. (I'm running 2.9.57. I have read a post from the creator of AA Mirror mentioning that he has a version of AA Mirror running on AA version 3.0+. As far as I know, he has not made this version of AA Mirror public.)

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76314663&postcount=484

GPS must be 12.2.21 or older. (I'm running 12.2.21.)

Google Play Store version doesn't matter as far as I know. (I'm running 10.1.08.)
[Android Auto General] vuoshino:
thanks. how can i install the gps without update it automatically?
[Android Auto General] BostonDan:
So after playing around with this all weekend, I have come to the conclusion that I am unable to use AAMirror+ on my phone due to the requirement of GPS 12.2.21 or older. Unfortunately, on Resurrection ROM for the Nexus 6P with Oreo 8.1, the minimum version permitted is 12.5.67 (I believe) due to the use of Pixel2 Launcher. Bummer.

I hope a solution may be found. If somebody has a solution that is unadvertised that they could PM me, I would greatly appreciate it, as I would love to use this.

On a side note, I use Rocket Player for my media, and after this weekend, it does not show up on Android Auto on my Sync 3. Bummer #2. Not sure what changed to disallow that.

Cheers,

Dan
