I have Galaxy S9 with beta Android Pie. After trying the patcher, I can see use Carstream without any issue but aa_mirror shows blank screen. Although, the sidebar works and tapping on the apps icon (the one with small squares) on the sidebar shows a list of all apps on the car's system. But when I tap on any app, the screen goes blank again.

I tried clearing Android Auto and aa_mirror data, applied the patch, rebooted but still have the same issue. Anyone else with this issue? Does Android Pie need a different permission for mirroring? Thanks

I have a Poco F1 on Pie and I think I have seen the same thing. Can you give this a try, connect to Android Auto, on the phone make sure you swipe and see all the apps on the screen on the phone and then start aa_mirror on your car radio . Mine asks for some permission on the screen of the phone. After I have pressed that I can also see all the stuff from the phone on the screen of the car radio.

If you switch off the screen of your phone everything is gone again. Just set the 'overwrite screen brightness' to on and the value to '0' other wise you will see the screen of the phone light up and it will actually drain down your phone since your screen uses a lot of power.

Give it a go that way!
[Android Auto General] Immix:
Thanks but this does not work. Apart from blank screen, everything else works. I can swipe on the blank screen and can see the swipe working on my phone sxreen. This is most likely due to the beta OS that I am running on my phone. I have tried aa-mirror plus also but with similar result.
[Android Auto General] stalls:
I am unable to get this to work on my rooted pixel XL 2 phone and my pioneer w8400 nex head unit. May I have some direction please or possibly another way to full mirror from the radio to control my phone? Thank you
[Android Auto General] lukesan:
So you don't get this popup box to start streaming on the phone? Damn, and people complain about crappy Pocophone F1 firmware.
[Android Auto General] Immix:
I did get a pop up the first time and I was asked to give permission to record screen and to modify system setting. I suspect, that the beta OS has a bug with screen recording feature because of which even though the touching the car audio system screen works, the projection of phone screen to the car audio system screen doesn't.

[MENTION=8826213]slash_m_a_x[/MENTION], can you include this feature in next build please.

Hide software buttons

Process proc=Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"su",

"pm grant " + getApplicationContext().getPackageName() + " android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS",

"settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*"});

proc.waitFor();

Restore software buttons on exit

Process proc=Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"su",

"pm grant " + getApplicationContext().getPackageName() + " android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS",

"settings put global policy_control null*"});

proc.waitFor();

Thanks,

Hamlin
[Android Auto General] wewd:
As my phone has hardware buttons, I'd like a feature to autoshow these softbuttons (and autohide when exiting). For some reason I can't open the drawer menu by swiping from the left. Might be because of my headunit has a frame which is preventing me to touch the most outer lines of the screen. Manually enabling softbuttons gives me full control of my phone via headunit.

@slash_m_a_x

What's up my dude!

So I got a new truck with an AA screen, and of course the first thing I do is come on XDA to see if anyone has figured out screen mirroring. Looks like you got some magic going.

This thread is a bit confusing though, the OP acts like it doesn't work yet, and the builds are like randomly spread throughout the thread. What do you think about getting you your own thread where the OP has instructions on installing, stuff for root/non root xposed etc, your latest builds, and any other information? Myself or any other mod can do this, but even now I am confused on how to install the 7Feb build, do I just install the APK, do I need to do anything inxposed? Do in stall thru AA or thru Android or what?

thanks!

Hello guys,

I wanted to ask you for information.

Whenever I connect the phone to the android auto to USB the device always ask me: "usb connection, allow the device to access .....

if I don't press OK everything works correctly, but if press ok, nothing will work.(in this case I have to unplug the cable and connect the phone again)

How can I disable this warning?
[Android Auto General] red_fork:
Hello Everyone,

Haven't tested AAMirror yet but it promises to be one of the most useful applications I've seen!

I have one question - will it work with the BT service permanently disabled in the phone? I did it because I use iphone for calls and AA for everything else.

Maybe it is possible to add an option to AAMirror for not connecting to BT?
[Android Auto General] k1ng617:
Hi All, I'm having trouble mirroring to my Chevy Cruze w/ android auto with my NON-Rooted Note 5 from T-Mobile. I first tried just using the AA Mirror app and nothing happened when I connected the phone to my usb, then I downloaded Android Auto to see if maybe it needed some part of that, but it still didn't work. Normal android auto works, but I hate that it doesn't work with all the apps I use (specifically PowerAmp Music player). Can someone tell me what I'm missing?
[Android Auto General] PSM 6.4:
So with Google blocking all custom apps on Android Auto v3.0 +.. is all custom apps including aa mirror dead?

Will there be a way to get around this, with rooted devices?
[Android Auto General] Tiemichael:
Maybe this helps:

Are you using Android Auto 3.0? If yes,downgrade to V2.9 ...
[Android Auto General] k1ng617:
Unfortunately, I am still on version 2.9.574924
[Android Auto General] red_fork:
I have similar problem. I don’t see any changes with aamirror working. I just see standard AA app.

When I launch aamirror without connection to the car I only see the aamirror settings. Sould it work that way or it should look different? I think the screenshot of the working app would be very helpful.

I downoaded compiled apk from the git repository. I have not compiled it myself. Maybe that’s the case?

I use 2.9 version of AA on 32 bit arm architecture.
[Android Auto General] lukesan:
Does CarStream (the YouTube thing) even work then?
[Android Auto General] Immix:
Yes because CarStream does not mirror the screen. It acts as an Android Auto app. I have other apps such as Performance Monitor working on my Jetta as well. It's just the screen mirror function that is not working.

Hey Guys,

big thanks for Phenotype Patcher, awesome work! :)

But since 1 week if have a Problem..

Had some disconnects in AA, so i removed my car from android auto, get a new cable and set up AA again.

Now i have some "ghost touches" in AA. Even without using an AA mirror app Android Auto switches the screens. Sometimes after 1 minute, sometimes after 10 mins.

Mostly it opens "maps", sometimes phone calling list (Buttons in AA on bottom left)...

i tried to deinstall AA, delete cache and so on ..

Some ideas? :/
[Android Auto General] uncinogb:
Something similar happened to me and eventually I found that I had set AA to demo mode. It just kept cycling through all the features of AA. Just check in the developer settings of AA that "Application mode" is set to "retail2 and not "demo".

[Android Auto General] qllkevuoi:
it seems you selected the "release" mode in the developer menu of AA..

as I said hundreds times,

this selection is COMPLETELY USELESS

.

release mode has exactly the behaviour you described: it switches the AA tabs after a certain time.. telephone, navigation, music, ecc.. and then again and again. it won't stop till you'll deselect this app mode.

it is the reason why I say always to leave any app mode unchecked when the user activates developer menu

in my experience, not only AA app mode selection is completely useless, but also "unknown sources".

I think the user that did correctly the Jen94's procedure (through command line or through AA phenotype patcher app) doesn't need to check any aa app mode nor any option like "unknown sources" or whatever else

to completely uncheck any app mode, you have to wipe data and cache of AA (and probably, if it's not enough, also in Google play services app); then reboot and re-configure AA.

if you don't want to do so, just try by changing the AA app mode to another one and check if AA and AA MIRROR do work properly on your car head unit.

regards

Communication error 8

Hello,

I rooted an old Samsung5 that I wasn't using to put movies on the SD card and used AA Mirror 1.0 and GPS 12. 6.85 with wifi shut off so it wouldn't update. This all worked well until yesterday and now I get the Communication Error 8 message. It's not the unit, as my Moto Z3 works fine with AA. Anyone have any thoughts? I've lost track of what versions are being used now and can't seem to find it in the thread. thanks!

How to answer incoming Whatsapp-calls?

I understand AA does not not really support Whatsapp voice-calls. But luckily I can run Whatsapp in AA-Mirror ...

But, when during driving with AA-Mirror on and maybe running a GPS-program, a Whatsapp-Call is received, this is happening:

* there is no ring-tone on the phone, and also nothing via the car-sound system

* AA switches from AA-Mirror to AA-phone, but does not allow to answer

* cannot answer the call from the steering-wheel or the car-screen but only from the phone which is a little inconvenient

I can go back to AA-Mirror, start Whatsapp (which is one of the 3 Favorite-apps) and answer the call. The sound is routed via the car-sound system.

All this takes maybe 30 seconds, and requires some pressing of buttons on the phone and car-screen is working, but very inconvenient.

Has anybody an idea or a workaround to make it more smooth?

Thanks!

Guys, are you on Android Oreo or Pie?

I have used AA Mirror on my Note 9 Oreo (8.1) without any problems (of course patched in phonetype), but after reinstalling Android to 9.0 and settings all in the same way (all permissions, phonetype patch etc.) AA Mirror looks to be working (changing screen resolution, rotate etc. but on the car screen it is black so screen is not mirroring).

Can anybody confirm it works on Android 9.0, please?

I have latest versions of Goodle Play Services (14.7.99) and Adroid Auto (3.9.585064). Didn't try to downgrade yet.

Do you guy know if there is a way to Mirror the screen aith Google Maps too? The problem with maps is that it refuses to mirror and it straight launches the Android auto version and I can't overlay my speed trap app. I can do this with waze, but I kind of like Maps better. Do you have any solution maybe a patch of Google maps of some sort?

Standard Play Store Maps Go Edition run boxed in a special Chrome session, so maps shouod be mirrored from screen instead of launching an AA dedicated session. Hope it meets your use case.

[Android Auto General] beniamino:
I confirm it works using AA_Phenotype_Patcher_0.85, but FIRST you should clear data of Android Auto and Google Play services.

My BIG QUESTION now is should we block AA and GPS for updates?

In my opinion screen mirroring in AA is like a ping-pong game, Google always block AA Mirror (3rd party apps) and devs always find solutions to hack Google blocks. What should we do?

Description of the solution:

- versions: AA 3.9, GPS 14.7.99

- it works also with AA Mirror Plus

- AA in "Release" application mode and "Unknown sources" unchecked

- AA_Phenotype_Patcher_0.85 to unlock

[Android Auto General] zencooler:
You don't need to block updates for Android Auto nor for Google Play Services as it works perfectly with any versions both of them. Even on Android 9.0 with newest versions.

For resolution issue (after disconnection AA Mirror from car system) check simply solutions I posted on XDA few times. Other people also proposed some solutions for this problem. Just check it. You can just reboot the phone if you don't mind this issue and the settings of density and screen resolution will be back to the standard on your phone.
