I don't know what happened with my installation but all 3rd party installed apps are showing in AA menu and even Google play services is there. None of them are working with the exception of AAmirror.
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
I think I saw a comment that currently only AA-Mirror is 'white-listed' by the AAM-unlocker, which would explain what you see
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
Thanks! One step further!

I just tried using the Headunit Server and the 'headunit emulator' - and big surprise - AA-Mirror showed up and is working (without changing or reinstalling anything)!

Will try with the car tomorrow ....
[Android Auto General] SLAB_8002:
Word of warning - the desktop head unit runs in developer mode, since it is a tool for app developers. 3rd party apps will show up in DHU that will not work with your car head unit. I ran into this problem when I first started tinkering with installing 3rd party apps back in February-March.

I've found that [MENTION=842765]Emil Borconi[/MENTION]'s Headunit Reloaded is a much better litmus test. It replicates my truck head unit exactly. In other words, if I install a 3rd party app and it shows up in HUR, it will also work with my truck's head unit.
[Android Auto General] ml3000:
I just tried this with Android P DP3 and still cannot make it work. I had this working in DP2 which is annoying. It will not show up as an OEM app anymore.
[Android Auto General] :
Is there any way, perhaps tasker script, something to run screen shift app every time after android auto is running?

It is the only way to have android mirroring if full screen and in the dpi i want..

But it is working only if I run screen shift after running android auto..

Thanks,
[Android Auto General] azymut38:
Does my Samsung Galaxy S4 support 720p/1080p output?

Anyone can tell is it safe to set this function on in AA? What happens if there is no support?

Is it connected with Head Unit capabilities? - mine is Skoda Amundsen.
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
Yes, you were right! AA-Mirror is not working in my car (Opel Astra 2017) :crying:
[Android Auto General] stasiof:
Can somebody upload slash_m_a_x ....aam_unlock.apk.

Thx.
[Android Auto General] BostonDan:
As I said, my steps worked for me. One thing that the emulator did was to cause AAMirror to request Root, which I wondered if that may have been an issue on the actual head unit that could have been impeding AAMirror from appearing on the actual head unit.

I wanted to present this information for other users of what worked for me so they could try the same steps.

Wish I could offer more support.

Cheers,

B.D.

AA 3.3 is out.....

AA mirror still work with AA 3.3.

Looks faster then previous version.
[Android Auto General] TelephoneOperator:
AAMirror works fine on my Kia, using the followig setup:

Galaxy S7 Edge with CF-Auto-Root NRD90M.G935FXXS1DQHO (Nougat)

Android Auto 3.3.582053

GPS 12.6.85

AA Mirror (built by slash_m_a_x 1:st of June, 2018)

AAUnlock (bult by slash_m_a_x 3rd of June, 2018)

SuperSU: Root access for both AA Mirror and AAUnlock

I can launch AA, like before, via USB cable connected to my car. But now I also got this cool AA Mirror app in the OEM tab. I can launch AA Mirror using only the touchscreen of my car, and from there, I can launch virtually every app and also send voice commands for searching videos in the Youtube app.

Thank you slash_m_a_x for a good work. Also thank you ktwo for starting the thread.

im trying to get this to work on my hyundai, what are the steps, i downloaded aamirror and then aa unlock but when i click on unlock root not available??

please help

[Android Auto General] TelephoneOperator:
You need to root your phone, otherwise AA Mirror wont work. There are numerous ways to root an Android phone, see other threads here at xda.

If you got a Samsung phone, beware that rooting the phone will also permanently disable some features such as Samsung Pay.
[Android Auto General] banditelvis721:

i have moto z play, any ideas??
[Android Auto General] ghostrider21:
it is possible to whitelist other apps in near future?
[Android Auto General] ml3000:
Anyone have any luck on Android P DP3?
[Android Auto General] IAmScorpionz:
Have you go to developer setting in Android Auto and check the unknown source?
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
Yes, of cause!

I am completely puzzled about the root cause of this problem. I am using the most recent AA 3.3.58 and GPS 12.6.85, AA-Mirror and AAUnlock, both are granted su-priveliges - but I cannot see AA-Mirror in AA at all.

(With the Emulator AAMirror works fine ...)
[Android Auto General] bggold:
I run beta GPS and it was blocked less than a week after release of as mirror unlock.

I even built up my spare phone and opted out of beta and still could not get it to work on 12.6.85.

I hear they are working on a better solution.
[Android Auto General] SLAB_8002:
All I can figure is that the AAM Unlock app isn't unlocking your phone for some reason. The emulator isn't a good indicator - I can hook my non-rooted Galaxy S7 Edge to my laptop and run 3rd party apps in the emulator without unlocking anything.
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
Finally it's working!

I downgraded and re-upgraded GPS to the most recent 12.6.85, ran MMUnlock again and - big surprise - AA-Mirror is working!

No idea what was wrong, which step was essential, because I did a these several times over the last weeks.

To those, who face similar issues: keep trying ...
[Android Auto General] Brignoud:
Please, someone can explain what's the 3 lines on menu bar does it mean

I mean the icon under the roll back icon and just before the Apps menu icon

What's his function?
[Android Auto General] PeeHoo:
Hi!

I've beta version of GPS. What is correct way to downgrade it? How it affects? F.e. I have Huawei watch.
[Android Auto General] ml3000:
To that note? How do I tell what GPS I have? I have a Pixel XL running Android Phone DP3.
[Android Auto General] PeeHoo:
Settings - applications - Google play services - scroll down... At the bottom is version.
[Android Auto General] ml3000:
Android P DP3 has 12.8.48. Do we know if it works on that version? Could I downgrade that somehow?
[Android Auto General] azymut38:
1. Prepare 12.6.85 on SD card (or internal memory) - download from here https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-12-6-85-release/

2. Switch off Wifi or Cellurar Data (to prevent Market from auto-updating GPS).

3. Remove GPS with Titanium Backup (or similar), lots of errors may appear but don't worry (it will take even 30 minutes to GPS complet removal).

4. Restart.

5. Install GPS 12.6.85 after reboot.

6. Restart again.

7. Block GPS update in Titanium Backup (click Market Automatic Updates [or similar, i'm working on polish version so I'm not sure about the function name], than unclick GPS and confirm with green "V").

8. Switch on Wifi/Cellurar Data.

DONE.
[Android Auto General] bggold:
Thanks worked like a charm on 8.1. got my apps back.
[Android Auto General] ml3000:
Damn, that didnt work well with Android P. My phone just keeps beeping with 12.6.85 saying nothing will run.

Hopefully AAmirror will soon work on 12.8.48.
[Android Auto General] BostonDan:
From what I have determined, the 3 lines on the menu bar (under the mini-browser) is to open other menu items (like the three dots on an application, or the 3 lines within the application). With touch display enabled, this is usually redundant because one can just activate this menu by touch.

Cheers,

B.D.
[Android Auto General] IAmScorpionz:
Yes, I still stick with GPS 12.6.85 and haven't upgraded it yet.
[Android Auto General] datasource:
I'm on 12.6.88 and everything is working very well.

Do not talk about lucky patcher. It is forbidden due to it being an app to pirate apps. Talk about Lucky Patcher is strictly forbidden on XDA!

[Android Auto General] azymut38:
I think it might an useful information. Last days I expierenced many problems with AA connection with my Samsung Galaxy S4. There were many connection drops. Eventually I found out the problem was the cable. The most suitable one is a cable attached to powerbank or portable HDD. I’ve tested 10 cables. Only 2 of them work good. The service guy told me that the most important thing is the ability to transfer current above 2A. I was trying to get a connection with many standard cables before, the connection was unstable or impossible (funny thing is the charging worked but the phone remained undetected). So... before you think there is a software issue- just get the right cable.

I’ve got 2 worth recommending: a) white, flat from Xiaomi powerbank b) black, round-shaped from Western Digital portable HDD. Both work fine.

Another thing- AA won’t work at all if there is no USB debugging switched on. I tested that on Galaxy S4 & S4 mini. No connection when USB debugging is off!

My car equipment is Skoda Amundsen.
[Android Auto General] texz71:
What Android version are you running on the S4? I tried to load AA on my rooted S4 (which is still on 4.x) and it would not allow me to install because OS version was too old.
[Android Auto General] azymut38:
AA requires minimum Anroid 5.0. Mine is 6.0.1.

It's [6.0.1][FINAL] Optimized LineageOS 13 (https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-orig-develop/jdcteam-optimized-cyanogenmod-13-0-t3334475)

- installed on I9505XXUHPK2 - [XEO] (it's a base, last stock ROM for polish users).
[Android Auto General] dreas74:
yes, here its the same. axon 7 mini with lineage 14.1 and skoda amundsen+

nice, aamirror makes the android auto useful.
[Android Auto General] fun_olivier:
Hello i still have troubles with screen ratio on the head unit and my phone when using AAmirror :eek:. Am I the only one ? My phone is rooted (Xiaomi Mi6).

On some applications (waze, some Google apps, others...) when I use AAmirror, i have black stripes coming out on the right of the Phone screen and thus on the head unit as well. I tried all AAmirror display settings without success :rolleyes:
[Android Auto General] azymut38:
Did you try to enable 720p/1080p output on Android Auto? For example - my head unit's screen is 800x480 so it's recommended to switch 720p on....

Anyway, here's my setting for AAMirror (only "ticked" options described below):

1. screen seettings:

-overwrite screen brightness - on

- screen brightness value - 0 (try "1" if "0" is not working - some phones don't support "0" mode)

- screen rotation: force

- rotation degree: 90

- immersive mode: none

2. sidebar settings:

- open on start: on

- open on two finger tap: on

3. audiosetting - request audio....OFF

Android Auto settings: developer mode:

- force logging: on

- allow 720p output: on

- allow 1080p output: on

- unknown sources: on

Everything works well for me, but the phone rarely connects.

Here is what I use:

Xiaiomi redmi pro with root and Magisk permissions

Fiat 500L (version with AA support and 7 '' HD screen)

AA 3.3.582064

GPS 12.6.85

AAMirror 1.0

AAUnlock 1.0

I connected the phone 10 times but only 1 worked AA (including AAM and touch screen)

Maybe I'm wrong with some AA or super user settings

Then every time I turn off the cel and connect it with the car, he asks me if I want to associate AA with the device (with the choice ok or cancel)

Because?

What am I doing wrong?

How do you have the "developer settings"?
[Android Auto General] fun_olivier:
Thanks for the reply, unfortunately it is still not working. I always have black stripes when using Waze. For instance, I don't have this behavior with AAmirror application, or deezer which are launched in full screen... :rolleyes:

Hey all,

Why is Volvo not included on the aamirror site?

Anybody get mirror working on a newish Volvo SCT?

Thanks.
[Android Auto General] lukesan:
If you connect it via the USB cable can you try to set it to 'file transfer' or that 'PTP' thing instead of charging? My redmi note 5 acts the same on my VW.

If I do that switch it will show connected to AA in a couple of seconds instead of sometimes a minute. The issue is that you have to do this every time you connect it in the car if it works for you. If you know it and it works then it is just a minor issue.
[Android Auto General] save6save:
I tried to do as you say but the phone does not go into Android Auto, even if it comes to the Google Play Service notification with the word "connected to cars". I have to give him some other consent? USB debug on? do I have to restart it? then you every time you connect the phone to the car gives the consent to AA or all the times go into settings and change the permissions from "recharge only" in MTP or PTP?
[Android Auto General] lukesan:
To be honest I would post your issue here https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/android-auto

The admins are the ones who develop AA and might ask for logs to get it fixed.
[Android Auto General] save6save:
I had also thought about it but from the logs you can see that I installed AAM, I enabled third-party apps, I have rot permissions, etc ...

Because I would not put the project at risk by letting other GPS or AA updates go directly from google
[Android Auto General] PeeHoo:

If I connect it it goes to "recharge only" and if I try to change in file transfer 'or that' PTP 'does not work and it seems to come back in recharge only!

[Android Auto General] itsdanieln:
I had mine working with AA 3.4.582534 and GPS 12.8.72 since July 8th without having to do anything fancy to get it to work. Just straight up root, install, grant permissions/unknown sources.

Then overnight it suddenly stopped showing up on my car this morning and have been trying to fix it since. Not sure what's going on but I guess it was great while it lasted....
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
Stopped working today
[Android Auto General] itsdanieln:
Did you experience the same thing as me?

Same GPS and AA versions, no changes to anything, just stopped working overnight?

I've tried to run previous versions too but still no luck :(
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
Thought I had attached a screenshot but I clearly haven't

These are my packages

And yesterday everything was working fine. Today, it's all gone. Seems like Google is at it again.

Anyway I'm not really tracking down my GPS versions and stuff, so I can't really tell.
[Android Auto General] ScratMan38:
Yesterday it stopped working too. But this morning it was working again.
[Android Auto General] mains75:
No it does not work anymore...
[Android Auto General] SLAB_8002:
It was working for me as of yesterday. I keep the phone that I use for AAM turned off and stored in my console though, so while I have updated Android Auto to 3.4.582534 it may not have gotten all of the background updates to Play Services and such.
[Android Auto General] gutierrezdev:
Was working this morning but this afternoon it stopped working. Will downgrade AA to see if it work again.

Edited: Not working with lower version. So this is Google Play Services block again I think.
[Android Auto General] :
I have disable lockscreen in phone settings, so by pressing the on button i see launcher.

But with mirror screen app, i always see lockscreen which i need to slide to see launcher. How so? Is there anything i can do to disable lockscreen there? Is this lockscreen due to android auto?

If anyone knows..

Able to write a few steps to teach how to do that?

While we wait for update of aaunlock.

UPDATE: ok i deactivated "find my device" in Device Administrator.

Then uninstalled updates for GPS

Then downloaded the 12.6 GPS for my device from apkmirror.

Installed that.

Then disabled auto update in Play Store.

Then restrict background data and cellular data for GPS.

Will connect to my car tomorrow to see if it works.
[Android Auto General] ravenrocha:
Just tried that and did not work. GPS even with Google play updates in manual and with restrictions for background data on GPS 12.6, GPS still autouodate to 12.8.72

---------- Post added at 07:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 PM ----------

Now with GPS 11.9 and AA 2.9 everything working fine again and still GPS didn't auto update to 12.8.72. Let's hope it continues this way.
[Android Auto General] anto1208:
I did another test by switching to GPS12.6.88 and installing the latest version of AA. using mirror unlock all ok.to avoid GPS update I used Titanium Backup.
[Android Auto General] rialsi6:
How do you block gps update with titanium back up?
[Android Auto General] mabadse:
Menu - Play Store/Market - Admin auto updates - Google Play Services uncheck
[Android Auto General] 9h05t:
Yes. This morning I tried with AA 3.4 and GPS 12.6 and it worked (with month old AAUnlock).

I unplug and plug back the phone, immediately, it didnt worked.

I checked GPS version and saw it autoupdated to 12.8! in mere minutes!

AA 3.4.5 & GPS 12.8.72

I will try to install back GPS 12.6.xx using Titanium Backup then freezing GPS updates.
[Android Auto General] red_fork:
Have the same configuration: AA3.4 and GPS 12.6.85 (titanium update freeze) on Lineage 7.1. Still works.
[Android Auto General] 9h05t:
Hi slash_m_a_x,

Thanks for your work so far! Love it.

Just a suggestion.

Maybe you can name your apks to reflect whether its stable or beta?

Stable being a version we know what works? eg. aa_unlock_stab_3.4.12.6.apk (to signify Stable on AA3.4 & GPS12.6)

And Beta for the ones you are creating for testing? eg. aa_unlock_beta_3.4.12.8.01.apk (to signify Beta on AA3.4 & GPS12.8 version 01)
[Android Auto General] ravenrocha:
For people like me, that have a rooted device, the best solution for running AA 3.4 + GPS 12.6 is using TB freezing GPS 12.6 updates. Just tested since morning and its working!
[Android Auto General] anto1208:
it works for me too
[Android Auto General] 9h05t:
I was waiting for someone in the car decided to fire up NHK World.

Video and sound was available on the phone screen but on headunit, only audio is heard. Screen is black.

I try. Look in the configuration of AAmirror audio setting-> request audio focus must be disabled.

Nope. That wasn't it.

I realise both NHK World and Google Play Movies have the same issue.

I solved FINALLY! I describe you to make you understand and maybe you will need it ...

I changed the ROM (I had the MIUI.IT version and now I installed the global from MIUI.COM) I have no idea why but it now works and connects well with AA.

I installed MAGISK 5.8.1 - AA 3.4.582534 - AAM 1.0 - AAU 1.0

I've never turned on the AAM and AAU apps and so the system works, it's not that they are the ones that then do not make me connect the cel to the car anymore? if I wanted to activate them, with a lot of root permissions, can I go back then? do you all work correctly without problems?
