How can I get Google play services to stop updating? I have titanium backup pro and I still can't figure it out. Can someone please do an idiot guide on how to stop the automatic update for GPS?
[Android Auto General] paolocorpo:
Ciao

I don't know if it is sufficiently idiot or not ... anyway here is my small guide (written to other user few post before)

Uninstall the version of AA and GPS that are not good for you

Install the version of AA and GPS that are good for you

Switch Off temporary data and wifi

Open Titanium Backup

Tap on Menu (top right)

Tap on: market automatic update

Unflag AA and GPS

Switch ON data and wifi

I have it working on Sony XAV-AX100 with a galaxy s5. Only problem is I can't get the side bar to return.

My head unit has a resistive screen, so no multitouch. Swiping from the side doesn't do anything either
[Android Auto General] fadinizjr:
Well I think there is no way around it. As you already said your unit is not multitouch able. So, the two options to bring the bar will not work: swipe and tap with two fingers.

So .. I think I arrived to an interesting result. I'm conscoius that what I'm going to say is a little bit .. messy, but I'll try to list all the steps I've done to reach the target (id est: AA Mirror does work with latest GPS and AA).

Premise:

All worked fine for me since GPS version was updated to 14.5.80 a few days ago; so I decided to downgrade to the previous version for my galaxy s7 with android 8.0 (rooted, obviously, but with stock rom).

After some research to find the right previous version for my device, I found on "apk mirror site" the right one for my purpose (.. or better, at least I thought it was the right one): 14.3.69 (040408.blablabla)

So, here's what I've done ..

1) tried to downgrade GPS app by unistalling all updates from the setting menu of my device .. but no result: a message popup warned me that this procedure was not possible;

2) downloaded the desired apk of the gps version on the phone

3) switched off wifi and data connection and then rebooted the phone in twrp recovery, made a backup, than flashed a zip found around on a web site that would have to completely uninstall GPS from the phone ... but ..

4) .. when I rebooted the phone, GPS was exactly where it was before, but now the app changed to a simple user app (not a system app), so I simply uninstalled it and then I installed the desired version and rebooted again

5) with my surprise, that GPS version crashed continuosly .. and the related google apps too .. so, in one word, the phone became literally unusable.

6) the only thing I could do in that situation, was to restore the backup I've done shortly before ..

7) everything went well, but .. when, in order to not to give up, I tried again to use "AAuto 3rd party app enabler" to unlock AA mirror (then I rebooted as always requested) ... surprise surprise: AA mirror did reappear in the list of Android Auto (and worked fine)!

8) so I thought: "naaaaaa, now I reboot the phone and AA Mirror is gone again .. I feel it!"

But NO! AA Mirror was always there and working!

obviously I don't know if this is a solution, a temporary workaround or it was just a case...

Now I saw that my GPS version was updated again to 14.5.82 and I didn't try no more since yesterday

stay tuned!
[Android Auto General] fadinizjr:
Hey after seeing this post I tried this new app and it worked flawless. I was even able to run Carstream (YouTube auto) now I have AA mirror and Carstream running.
[Android Auto General] wypeng2012:
You can do like this: change android auto appication mode to release and uncheck unknown sources.

And you unlock again.

it does work.
[Android Auto General] calichelozano:
Hey guys, so I bought my XAV-AX100 Sony today, I have an S7 edge with oreo, rooted. So I had the latest GPS installed and the AA mirror wouldn't show up on the headunit, desperated I started reading here...went and deleted the GPS updates and it downgraded to 12.8.74, I ran the 3rd party thingy, rebooted and voila..,it works! I'm still have to stop GPS from updating itself and it sucks that YouTube won't work with the old GPS version...so, any suggestions to get YouTube to work with the old GPS version? Or is it possiblr to make AA mirror to work with the latest GPS? Thanks!

[Android Auto General] calichelozano:
Thanks, but I don't get it. Can you please explain how this would help the situation? Thanks man!
[Android Auto General] wypeng2012:
This may be a solution for the latest android auto version：

Android auto>left menu >about >right menu >developer setting >application model >release and uncheck unknown source try unlock again

or you can also clean gms and android auto app data,then unlock again

It does work well on my phone:

XiaoMi 8,

android pie,

gms:14.5.74,

android auto:3.7.584044

my Samsung S6+ also works well
[Android Auto General] calichelozano:
Oh, I got it, but do I keep AA on release and no unknown sources...or do I need to re-enable developer and unknown sources afterwards and then try unlock again? Thanks.
[Android Auto General] wypeng2012:
No,you can not re-enable developer and unknown sources. You should always keep AA on release and no unknown sources .
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
Yes, setting AA to 'Release' and disable 'unknown sources' seems to work! I am using all current resent versions (AA 3.7.58, GPS 14.5.74, Google Play Store 12.5.15 (not sure if relevant))

But, I was not able to unlock with AA-Unlock. I received the message 'Superuser granted' but never 'All Done, Please Reboot'. I still rebooted, but it was NOT working.

So I tried a different unlock took found at a Russian forum http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=651767&view=findpost&p=79303441, uploaded by user jen94 : http://4pda.ru/forum/dl/post/14488938/UnlockChecker-v2.apk (see attachment) , used the mode 'unlock without reboot' - and it is working!!!

Not sure how long my happiness it will last, but let's see...

Also if I have to apply the unlock everytime is want to use AA-Mirror it's ok, as unlocking is fast without reboot.

Thanks to jen94 for providing the tool!!!

Hope this helps other desperate AA / AA-Mirror users as well

[Android Auto General] paolocorpo:
+1 here

I have the some doubt
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
Same as you I am also not sure about all the other options...

After no luck with 'AA-unlock' I was simply looking for alternatives

I was only using the 'unlock without reboot' option as a first try, and it was working immediately. So I did not test any other option.

(Not 100% sure, but I think I changed the first number from 234 to 236, as I saw earlier that (my) 'com.google.android.gms.Car' is version 236 in the GPS/phenotype.db (using SQ LIte editor) - but without knowing anything ...)

Also I am not sure if AA 'release' and 'unchecking' 'unkown sources' is needed or not.

It's really just trial and error, and more people trying might yield to some 'unlock recipe'

Have a look at the forum I linked, there is quite a lot of discussion ongoing .. (I don't speak Russian, so here Google is my friend)
[Android Auto General] paolocorpo:
With the internal SQLite viewer of root explorer app ...

I discovered that my current version of that package is 234 as for default the unlock is set :)

I have not yet understood where read the root version that for default is set on 230 ... :

[Android Auto General] paolocorpo:
As suggested into screen below ... using Root Explorer you have to open the file:

When you tap on the file:

the app root explorer will give you two chance

One of this is to open the file in only reading state

Choose this option and all the packages will be listed

Into this list you will found that ....car#car

I have not understood yet the second number root car#car ... :(

What exactely versions of AA Mirror and unlocker application are you using?

I ask, because I found two versions of AA Mirror (ver. 1.0 - APK file: aa_mirror.apk AND ver.1.0.1a - APK file: AAMirror Plus 1.01a.apk)

I have gsm.car#car: 234 and root version gsm.car#car: 230

But doing unlock with "unlock no reboot" version and also with "unlock force reboot" doesn't work for me.

I made many test with different developer settings of Android Auto with UnlockChecker-v2 with AA-Unlock and of course AAutoAppEnabler_v1.1 for both versions of AA-Mirror and unfortunately none of these tools work for me.

Carstream works fine (after option "unlock(root)" used internally in the application), so it's definitely problem with AA-Mirror application that cannot be enabled by any tool... :(

Any help will be appreciated. Regards.
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
There is only this single entry with "car" 236 , nothing else ...

And surprisingly it's still working.

I am also using Xiaomi A1, stock 8.1, with Magisk, and AA 3.7.58, GPS 14.5.74, Google Play Store 12.5.15
[Android Auto General] paolocorpo:
Ottimo io non sono marchigiano di origine ma abito qui da quasi 17 anni :)

Dear,

I am actually using:

FORD SYNC3

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

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_unlock 1.0

Unlock checker 1.0

I was using CARSTREAM but I was unable to save the older version of AA and GPS and the usage fault soon

So I tried to use AA_mirror and I can say (until now) that the usage is surely more friendly versus CARSTREAM

Initially I had the problem of absence of touch screen functionality but I fixed adding AA_mirror into the list of granted apps for Supersuer

Until today I had to use AA_unlock every time I need to have AA_mirror; I tap on Unlock, I receive back two times a message that AA_unlock has received grants from SUPERUSER and after few second the suggestion to reboot device > Of course I reboot it and I have AA_mirror on AA's main menu on car screen :)

Today I discovered reading this thread the new app UNLOCK CHECKER

I was hoping to avoid the necessity to perfrom a reboot every time but ...

Few minutes ago I tried without success !

And not only ... when I use UNLOCK CHECKER the AA froze on the car screen :(

SO this is my actual status:

when I need AA_mirror I have to open AA_unlock, tap unlock, waiting the popups and reboot device
[Android Auto General] calichelozano:
Guys, what's the difference between AA mirror and AA mirror plus? Do both still work? I have an s7 edge with AA mirror and it doesn't look very sharp, also the s7 launcher seems pushed vertically to the left, only 50% viewable and looks funny, but when I open apps they fill the screen. Is all that behavior normal or can I improve it?

Another thing is that the sidebar shows up when I first open AA mirror on AA, but after I open an app or just slide it out to the left...I can't bring it back..sliding or double tap don't seem to work, the only way of bringing it back is by reopening AA mirror.

Thanks!
[Android Auto General] qllkevuoi:
neppure io sono marchigiano, ma ormai vivo da queste parti da oltre 10 anni

have you tried to change AA from developer mode to release, and unchecking unknown origins?

with this simple change, once you unlock AAmirror, it stays unlocked for a certain period, even if you reboot the phone several times. but after about a day, you need to unlock again.

I use AAuto 3rd party app enabler to unlock AAmirror: it does work with latest AA and GPS, without the need of blocking updates.
[Android Auto General] paolocorpo:
I was able to enter into developer menu of AA when I was using Carstream

But now ... I don't know why ... I don't find the menu ... :(

Referring to unlocker ... Can you provide the link of the Apk that you are using ?

Thanks

for the menu.. in Android auto, tap on the 3 lines on top left, then tap on information, then tap 10 times on the blu bar on the top of the screen with the "info about Android auto" phrase and press ok in the message popup that appears. now you have the developer mode in AA. so you can easily tap on the 3 dots on top right (I mean always in the info menu) and there you'll find the developer menu.

Ok thanks Now I am developer

What does it mean from developer to release ?

And ... Is it strange to uncheck unknown sources ?

Are you sure that it is recommended ?

Inviato dal mio Mi A1 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Android Auto General] qllkevuoi:
if you tap on developer settings, there's the first voice on top that allows you to choose the app mode.. try the release mode instead of the developer one.

unchecking unknowns origins should be the official and more stable and secure way, but ... I confess that I'm not sure: I followed instructions of a user here. I suggest you to make a backup through twrp recovery before you try to launch AA Mirror on your car.. (you read what happens to me when I launch AA mirror on my headunit... so, be wise... don't do anything without a backup)

anyway, till that moment, nothing strange could happen ..
[Android Auto General] paolocorpo:
Thanks again

Which is the release mode ?

The option translated into Commercio al dettaglio ?

Anyway ...

Due the fact that you are obligated to redo the unlock procedure daily (like me ... I am doing using aa_unlock),

due the fact that a small risk to loose the current complete functionality ...

I have decided to remain on actual status

Thanks for all you support

Hello! I have a Pixel XL which I just flashed Pixel Dust ROM Pie so everything is still fresh. Unfortunately, I soon as I connect to the internet and login with my google account, Google Play Services gets updated right away and it breaks AA_Mirror. I have been reading the last pages of this post and looks like there is a possible fix or workaround that might work with the latest version but I'm getting confused because it looks like it only works in a certain scenarios. I tried following some of the steps but it still wouldn't work with the latest GPS.

Can someone maybe do another step by step guide (from scratch) with the latest version of Google Play Services?
[Android Auto General] paolocorpo:
Today I was facing a new issue:

the screen resolution of device after I have used AA_mirror remain changed (sometimes bigger sometimes smaller that the default one !! :(

I think that if the device is unplugged when AA_mirror is running on car screen ... the screen resolution of device can be compromised ... :(

Probably (this is only a my idea) the best workaround would be to switch off AA_mirror going to AA before unplug the device
[Android Auto General] paolocorpo:
AA= Android Auto

GPS= Google Play Services

I will provide you the procedure that I have used with success on my device Xiaomi Mi A1 8.1.0 and Sync3 of my Ford

For now I would like to not talk about AA version and GPS version .... Because very probably it is not matter of final success

Eventually we can came back and discuss about the version

I suppose that AA is installed on your device and that it is rightly running when connected to your infotainment system of your car

I suppose that your device has root permission (with Magisk or SuperSU)

Let start

1. Uninstall all the apps that you have until now already installed regarding this topic (aa_mirror, aa_unlock, enabler, etc)

2. Download AA_unlock and AA_mirror apk here:

https://github.com/slashmax/AAMirror/tree/master/apk

3. Install AA_unlock and AA_mirror apk

4. Open AA_mirror and set it using the suggestions provided into this video clip:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxlBeoLTa6M

5. Open AA, tap on the 3 lines on top left, then tap on information, then tap 10 times on the blu bar on the top of the screen with the "info about Android auto" phrase and press ok in the message popup that appears; now you are into the developer mode in AA. So you can easily tap on the 3 dots on top right (I mean always in the info menu) and there you'll find the developer menu (thanks to [MENTION=2154102]qllkevuoi[/MENTION])

6. If you tap on developer settings, there's the first voice on top that allows you to choose the app mode; use the release mode instead of the developer one and uncheck unknowns sources (thanks to [MENTION=2154102]qllkevuoi[/MENTION])

7. Now open AA_unlock and tap on unlock button; you will be informed two times (with two popups) that AA_unlock has obtained root grants and later a third and final poup will say DONE and will ask for a reboot

7bis. IF YOU DON'T SEE the THIRD POPUP RETAP on UNLOCK button

8. REBOOT

9. Check that AA_mirror and AA_unlock are into the list of app that have root permission (using for instance the SUPERSUSER feature of toast menu of Magisk Manager)

Sometimes AA_mirror is absent in this list

In this case Try to set Root - Automatic Response from 'Prompt' to 'Always Granted' (in Magisk Manager / Settings), and after same attempts you will see that Root will be granted to AA_Mirror too (thanks to [MENTION=5258176]Tiemichael[/MENTION] )

10. That's all :)

Good luck

Paolo

PS

Sometimes you can loose the functionality of AA_mirror into infotainment system

In this case repeat step from 7 to 10
[Android Auto General] warpgatex:
Thank you!!! I actually works! :D

[Android Auto General] asmoranomar:
I don't have an option for unknown origins, but I do have one for unknown sources. I assume this is the same?

After I reboot, only AA_unlock has root. AA_mirror does not. I don't have any options on my car's display to launch AA_mirror, and I have no AA_mirror root requests on my phone.

It seems like others are able to successfully do this, is there a step missing? This is my very first time doing this.
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
Yes, it's 'unkown sources'

You are right, for Touch to be working AA-Mirror needs Root.

Try to set Root from Prompt to Always Granted (in SU or Magisk), and after same attempts you will see Root is granted to AA-Mirror

Hope it helps!
