[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] resarfekim:
I bought my phone - refurbished - about 2 months ago on eBay.

Starting a couple weeks ago, I get intermittent speaker problems. Appears to mostly be the bottom speaker.

If I go into Sound settings and increase the Media or Ring volume to max, it sounds like a busted speaker. But, Call and Alarm max volume sound mostly ok.

I say intermittent because it will be bad for the whole day, then suddenly it goes back to 100% ok. Like last night, I was in a chat with Google to do some troubleshooting. Cleared a bunch of settings, safe mode, restarts. Nothing fixed it.

But as soon as we were done, and she gave me RMA instructions, the sound went back to normal.

Does this sound like what others are experiencing? Is this hardware related, or software?

side note - I first started noticing this after I installed Pixel Dust rom. The music sounded distorted. So I went back to stock, and everything was fine. But a few days later, distortion returned.

Hello! I installed an AP to be a superuser, but after I've done so (using a tutorial I can't link since I have less than 10 posts) the phone bricked. It was supposed to do that and then be able to root it, but it didn't work. Now I'm stuck. I downloaded the stock AP from this forum but when I try to install it says "model mismatch fail"

Can someone help me please?

[Android Auto General] ns130291:
I put together a little app for Android Auto that can show a single widget:

Update v0.2.0: fullscreen mode

Installation

In the Android Auto app open the Hamburger menu.

Open About.

Tap "About Android Auto" header 10 times, until "Developer mode enabled" toast appears.

Tap dots on the top right of the screen.

Select "Developer settings" from the menu and enable "Unknown sources".

Usage

Open the app and select a widget to display

Connect your device to your head unit and select "Widgets" on the OEM Tab

Download

Dropbox

Github

Changelog

v0.2.3

* New application ID to circumvent blacklisting of old ID by Google in Android Automotive. For existing users this unfortunately means that you have to configure your widget inside the app again (old version should be uninstalled).

v0.2.2

* fix for devices with system built-in widget picker problems

v0.2.0

* fullscreen mode

v0.1.0

* inital release

Very cool idea. Works great. Thanks!
[Android Auto General] ns130291:
[MENTION=548005]ahhl[/MENTION] [MENTION=5562025]shmykelsa[/MENTION]

Could you try the new version I uploaded?
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
Works now, thanks
[Android Auto General] Zacharee1:
This is quite an interesting project. I'm guessing you have an AppWidget in the app and you're proxying the user chosen widget through it, right?

If that's the way, it should also be possible to add some other provider info XMLs, to let people choose, say, up to 5 widgets.

Anyway, I'm definitely going to follow this progress. You should definitely host on Labs.
[Android Auto General] ahhl:
ya. can install now.
[Android Auto General] ns130291:
Yes, you're totally right. The user can choose a widget in the app and it gets displayed inside the app. Afterwards I take the widget and show it in the Auto Activity. Therefore, it's no problem to extend this to multiple widgets.

I will look into hosting on XDA Labs.
[Android Auto General] ahhl:
i test it on waze widget. the widget look stretched out full screen, and not able to show any data
[Android Auto General] Zacharee1:
Since this is an AppWidget proxy, and it allows you to use widgets not optimized for Android Auto, there's not really anything the developer can do.
[Android Auto General] itesla:
More screenshots please :) this be used with a 'Kustom Widget' I hope ?
[Android Auto General] ns130291:
You can use my app with any widget you have installed - so any widget that can be added to your launcher should be possible.
[Android Auto General] rockingondrums:
Please please please let us add more widgets. Already, years have gone by and the developer support for optimized apps just isn't as robust as promised by now.

Also, phone can't open the apk file. Pixel 2XL 8.1
[Android Auto General] wilburblin:
Thanks OP! Looks cool. However I am unable to install it on Pixel OG 8.1. Is Android O not supported? Thanks!
[Android Auto General] RED ZMAN:
I had the same problem when trying to install the APK from the download page. Open up a file manager and install it that way, it worked for me.
[Android Auto General] itesla:
Thank you for this! Endless possibilities with KustomWidget and Tasker!

Rough copy from my phone homescreen......
[Android Auto General] rockingondrums:
I tried that with amaze file manager, it didn't work. I tried to also open it in Dropbox but nothing opened. I'll keep fiddling with it, let you know
[Android Auto General] RED ZMAN:
Perhaps the file didn't download correctly? Could be corrupt.

I used mix Explorer from the XDA labs and it worked fine. Only problem is I can't get any of the widgets to actually show up in Android auto. I have developer mode open so I can use night mode all the time and set it up for unknown sources but no bueno.
[Android Auto General] Zacharee1:
Go to the OEM tab in Auto on your car (the one where you'd normally see a "Return to <Whatever>" button), and you'll see a bunch more stuff there.
[Android Auto General] RED ZMAN:
Aaahhhhh... that's what he meant. I thought he meant the center tab, the homepage.

Thanks
[Android Auto General] rockingondrums:
I just had to sign in to my Dropbox app and exported it through there.

I know it's not legal or safe, but man I'd like to just run apps in fullscreen landscape. Only for hockey games. Even just for much better USB audio as opposed to Bluetooth.

Or, I could start listening to on-device music again, and in FLAC. The possibilities of this app!
[Android Auto General] iifuzz:
Any good weather radar wished that works well with this@
[Android Auto General] IOU4something:
Works great! need to have the ability to change the background color or use a picture, also mayby make it where the widget is full screen without the info at the top. Keep up the good work.
[Android Auto General] Zacharee1:
[MENTION=3757237]ns130291[/MENTION] Your idea's inspired me to do something similar for the LG V20/V10. The problem is, I just can't figure out how the proxying actually works. Google's documentation is a joke, and there doesn't seem to be much useful info elsewhere online.

Would you mind PMing me at least the source involving the AppWidgetHost and such?
[Android Auto General] RED ZMAN:
Now that I have it working, I'm having trouble finding a decent widget to use there. Most of the clock/weather ones I've looked at (Chronus) just show a white clock on a black background instead of the widget, and the Podcast Addict ones don't update the track location.

What is everyone using for a widget here?

Thank you for the information it works great in my F150.I have a weather/clock widget and it's awesome.it uses the whole screen U love it. It is the same color that's on my phone and I can change the color.

Thank you again
[Android Auto General] xda666:
Thanks, [MENTION=3757237]ns130291[/MENTION] !

I tested it with the first widget that came to my mind and it worked like a charm -- Sony Xperia Weather (preloaded; available in Play Store) on Ford Mondeo / Fusion. The widget width automatically adjusts to the screen size (see phone screenshot below and compare it to the car's unit photo), the content is updated in real time (time, weather details), however it's not interactive -- although it registers touch input, it doesn't navigate to any page other than the default one; so, in order to add location I had to click "Tap to setup" on the car's display, take the phone and select the city on it; then the widget loaded weather info on the car's display. But it's not a problem ;)
[Android Auto General] RED ZMAN:
I was hoping to find some sort of dashboard widget that somebody had built somewhere but everything I've been trying is so full of ads and phone takeovers I haven't found something yet.

I tried using that one in the past but can never come up with a good design. Have you seen any pre-made designs that you like?
[Android Auto General] Ken4G:
Wow, this sounds awesome. I'm going to try to find a weather radar widget. Hopefully one that updates periodically with location.
[Android Auto General] packetjunkie:
I just wanted to add my experience - I had no problems with installing and was thrilled to get this one thing working.

I have two garage doors. I wanted alerts, reminders (to close) and remote control from anywhere on my phone, so I got the MyQ setup. That lead to wanting a widget on my home screen to open/close the doors and the Wink app, which works with my MyQ device. So far, so good. But when I rolled up in my new Jeep connected using AA, I would have to deal with the phone getting to where I could hit a widget.

No more.

The Wink widget works perfectly! Now if I could have this and a weather widget on the same page, man, now I'm getting greedy. Hands down, love this.
[Android Auto General] itesla:
No I just trial an error (a lot) to get what you see in my screenshot above. Made it look better by adding same gradient filled boxes to each section.

Also adding my SmartThings home status via a Tasker plugin called SharpTools.
[Android Auto General] xda666:
[MENTION=3757237]ns130291[/MENTION]

I've found even better weather widget: 'Transparent clock & weather' by MACHAPP Software -- it's fully customizable (you can choose which elements to show, and set a different color for each element, you can choose different themes, weather icons, and background color even), and it displays next scheduled event from multiple calendars set as sources -- see "MG Report" or "Test Event" in top left of the screenshots attached.

I made it white-on-black with dark grey gradient background (it blurs phone's wallpaper nicely when set to 100% transparent; not sure why 100% transparency results in a blurred background, but accidentally it looks cool), so it matches my Ford's instrument cluster TFT display's UI, which has almost the same fonts and colors.
[Android Auto General] RED ZMAN:
Thanks for showing me that widget, I downloaded it and imma try and get myself. Not bad.
[Android Auto General] xda666:
[MENTION=895291]RED ZMAN[/MENTION] How about this: 'Transparent clock & weather' customized to match my Ford's instrument cluster TFT UI colors (white on black with turquoise elements) and interior ambient lighting color (turquoise) -- so, it is white on black, with next calendar event text in turquoise. How cool is that ; )
[Android Auto General] RED ZMAN:
That is also pretty darned nice.

Could you go through again, in detail, how you did the calendar thing?

I rode to work this morning with that screen up for most of it, pretty neat.
[Android Auto General] xda666:
Well, it's easy -- put a widget on one of your screens/desktops, click anywhere to launch an app (i.e. click on one of the weather icons), then click 'back' arrow and go to Settings / Time & Date; select 'Display next event', then select all calendars you would like a widget to use, and optionally change the default color of the next event text to something unique, like blue in my case.

By the way, as far as I can see it is worth to disable all click-to-launch actions in 'Advanced settings' of this widget, like the 'default hour action', 'default date action' etc. It won't work anyway, but at the same time it causes a widget to freeze on AA, at least in my case -- ns130291's app forwards widget content only, so no single app content would be proxied when it's opened by any widget action; when your widget launches any app, it opens on your phone, so the widget probably loses a focus, therefore it's no longer being updated -- at least in my case; this could be caused by my memory management settings, or simply this is the way Android 8 works -- when any app is opened in the foreground, all background widgets are cached and stopped, to free RAM and preserve battery.
[Android Auto General] RED ZMAN:
Ahh, I missed that one. And good tip on the widget actions.

Not bad at all. Should at least work until I find something else or make something in KWGT.
[Android Auto General] RED ZMAN:
This is now available in the XDA Labs everyone. It has been updated and now has an option to run widgets full screen. Awesome!
[Android Auto General] rockingondrums:
A few of the apps I wanted to try don't have very useful widgets. There is one streaming music app in particular that doesn't even have a widget. Would it be possible to just proxy that app in landscape with this app?

Thank you!
[Android Auto General] ns130291:
Maybe you can try AnyAutoAudio to solve your problem.

[Android Auto General] gnice18:
Would it be possible to add an option to allow resizing the widgets? I have the perfect radar widget but it's currently 2 X 1. It's resizable on a launcher but I need to double the size for the car.
[Android Auto General] Bietschek:
Can't install both versions on android 8.1 pixel experience for xiaomi redmi note 4
[Android Auto General] bggold:
It seems Android auto 3.0 breaks the app. It no longer shows up in the list.

UPDATE:. Looks like a fix is going to be difficult. It seems that Google has disabled unknown sources if not using Android auto emulator. Emil B the dev for OBD2 for AA has found this to be true. It has also effected his app.
[Android Auto General] ahhl:
do waze / sportify still work on AA ver3?
[Android Auto General] bggold:
Yes they do since they are "Google approved" Android auto apps.
[Android Auto General] ahhl:
ah... h.. they didnt totally block it. some one might come out to fake the approval sooner or later [emoji16]. no worries.
[Android Auto General] packetjunkie:
Ugh, this sucks.
[Android Auto General] tsells:
I can confirm that the new Android Auto update (3.0) killed this app.
[Android Auto General] packetjunkie:
I believe you mean Android Auto, not Waze. I have turned off Auto Update for AA.
[Android Auto General] tsells:
Yes. I meant Android Auto.
[Android Auto General] ahhl:
request feature for AAWidgets

at the moment i can only see a list of messeges in the widget. but if the messages too long, i am not able to read all.

i know, no reading while driving,

but AA read messages like ****s, sometime do not even know what it mean. especially now the message come with icon and not full word
[Android Auto General] Zacharee1:
This app proxies widgets. It can't change their behavior.
[Android Auto General] :
It won't save you, it will lock soon..
[Android Auto General] packetjunkie:
After reading that 3.0 comes with Google Assistant, I just went with it. I am going to see if I can get some kind of voice control working for the one thing I used this app for (opening/closing my garage doors via the Wink widget).
[Android Auto General] RED ZMAN:
Assistant has been working on mine for about a year. I use my voice to control IFTTT switches for things at my house while I'm driving.

If you can hook IFTTT up to wink you can do it for sure.
[Android Auto General] xda666:
It's not enough to turn the auto update off -- in my case AA forced me to update; car unit returned error, so I checked the phone and found request for update to the latest version; I wasn't able to skip it.
[Android Auto General] packetjunkie:
Yeah, mine updated and I lost this functionality. Bummed.

Daddy keeps taking away our toys.
[Android Auto General] jonsat:
You can install apps through adb shell and they will be listed again in AA 3.0+...

Install apks in this form: adb shell pm install -i "com.android.vending" -r /sdcard/application.apk

Just edit path and name of the apk (sdcard is the root of your internal phone memory).

:)
[Android Auto General] SLAB_8002:
Installed and working. Tested it with Zello widget, worked great! Many thanks, [MENTION=3757237]ns130291[/MENTION].
[Android Auto General] Sage:
Love it though any chance of multiple widgets?
[Android Auto General] :
Question: If i want to install a 2nd, 3rd, etc widget, some how to would be good.

I suppose i could change the name of the app through apk editor to make it look as another app.

I should also need to change the name I select in android auto, so not to have 2 apps with the same name? What should i charge?

If anyone has done it.

Thanks,

Perhaps in future, an option for multiple widgets? By a bar or something to move between them.

If you are trying to open Netflix on your screen, it doesn't work that way. You can use widgets that display information or have limited interaction that dont open new windows.

And it's also what my program here does

Fails for me too. Installed it in the way it had to be installed but crashes on loading.

Yeah Google is blocking once again
[Android Auto General] Sieth:
Strange, Tinycam still works. It's the only app that still works. Where is the logic?
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
Tinycam is on the Play Store and approved by Google
[Android Auto General] Sieth:
Yes but I used the 9.3 beta 1 wich I adb installed.

So maybe there has to be an official playstore variant indeed.
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
Well I think that installing it from ADB was pretty useless, unless the beta is still not on the play store and you are not a beta tester.

Same goes for Waze though. It's on play store and approved by Google, so it won't be blocked

There is someone claiming that downgrading to 2.9 will do, however I won't rely on that since Google Play Services would lock you sooner or later, and there's a bunch of people locked even with AA 2.9.
[Android Auto General] SLAB_8002:
Here's a screenshot of mine running 2.9. It's worked so far and is the only solution for the moment. As I posted in the other thread, it looks like v3.1 still recognizes my 3rd party apps as legitimate, but won't display them in the menu.
[Android Auto General] brontolo999:
Dear ns130291,

I was able to install and use WidgetAuto on AA but had to downgrade AA to the version 2.9 and install the WidgetAuto with AAPatcher.

In any case, I have a problem with WidgetAuto when using it in my car with Kustom widgets.

I have created a Kustom widget with 2 panels (agenda and weather) and two buttons to switch panels. In addition there is a 3rd panel showing up when a new sms is received and prompt me the text of the sms.

I'm experiencing two problems:

1. when I press the buttons to change panels, nothing happens. It seems that the input is not properly received by the widget (even if the car unit bips when I press the screen)

2. when a new sms arrives, the widget is not refreshed and the sms panel does not appear.

Of course, the Kustom widget works properly when added to the phone launcher and WidgetAuto works properly when used with other widgets which receives input from the car unit.

So, it seems that the problem is related to the interaction between WidgetAuto and Kustom widget.

Could you please check?

thanks
[Android Auto General] brontolo999:
hi

have you any issue in sending inputs to KustomWidget?

For me it doesn't work (see previous post )

Do I miss something?

Have you any advice?

first of all thanks [MENTION=3757237]ns130291[/MENTION]!

I'm having some problems with uconnect 8,4' system, I can't get rid of white outlines.

Tried both normal and fullscreen option from your app, no luck.

Am I doing something wrong?
[Android Auto General] ns130291:
Currently there is no option implemented to remove the padding around the widget. I will implement this eventually in a future version. At the moment the difference between fullscreen and normal is that fullscreen hides the title bar.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Looking forward for future versions

Hi [MENTION=3757237]ns130291[/MENTION],

I'm using your App (with AA 2.9) and I found it very interesting. Thank you!

I have a suggestion: Please, can you provide the option to run multiple widgets? The idea is support 3 or 5 widgets, and the user can change from one to another with a left or right swype. More or less the same concept that you do using multiple screens in the Android Launcher. My objective is to run 2 or 3 different widgets, and change in the HU from one to another with a simple touch.

You think that's a good idea?

Regards.
