Carstream player should be as fermata control...permits use with steering wheel, but i have only carstream app without player control. Some idea? Some version that works with steering wheel?
[Android Auto General] luyen:
I tried version 2.0.4, it working but I'm unable to search, keyboard does not show up (touch not working on my car). Very hard to use on untouchable screen
[Android Auto General] Crow820:
Hi,

I am trying to run CarStream ver. 2.0 with AA ver. 4.6 and 4.7 and I can't skip tracks with the steering wheel.

No matter what I do I get an error saying that an "Error has accord" and that's it.

I have root and unlocked the app with the Patcher.

What do I do wrong?

Also Farmata player is working just fine with steering wheel controls.

Car stream 2.0.5

CAR STREAM 2.0.5

I edited the version 2.0.4 from GitHub:

- Updated all libraries of the project;

- Updated SDK Target to 29 and reduced the minSdk to 16;

- Updated some of deprecated methods;

- Added DESKTOP MODE, you can enable it from the phone's settings (see the screenshot);

- Added multidex support

- Other minor stuff that now I don't remember...

P.S. As soon as I have time I will upload the updated project on GitHub.

I hope it is useful. :)
[Android Auto General] nellobnn:
Thank you, the app works well on aa 5.2. Unfortunatly the same problems with steering wheel, without touch we can't use it

Many thanks for the update, please take a look on 2.0.3 where steering wheel support was present, as a secondary audio app like in Fermata Auto (https://github.com/AndreyPavlenko/Fermata), and fix/improve the adblock, may you can look how youtube vanced perfect lock any ads :)

Hello. I have a problem with carstream. I see app in android auto but recieve msg Click last icon in bottom bar and start playing from youtube.

I have p30 pro, carstream version 2.0.1, android auto 5.2. I dont know what can i do? Can, anybody help?
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
First of all, update Carstream, cause that version is probably really broken for AA 5.2

Second of all, you pressed the wrong icon to launch carstream UI.
[Android Auto General] Newcar10:
Hello, I have carstream 2.0.5 and aa 5.2, and I am not able to access the internal memory of celuar (in the carstream) to play the downloaded videos. I can only access youtube. Any solution?
[Android Auto General] baybora72:
Same as mine :(

I have turned back the previous version 2.0.4. Works again...
[Android Auto General] D3jc:
Hello. Where can, i find other version which work with AA 5.2.? Which icon i must launch? When i open AA i see icon carstream.

Thank you
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
I'm sorry but have you patched Carstream with AA Phenotype Patcher in the first place? Because if you did not there's no way CarStream will work for you. If you look some posts above you will find version 2.0.5. Now on version 2.0.5 you should be left with just one icon. But again you have to patch it first.
[Android Auto General] Newcar10:
I went back to version 2.0.3 where the steering wheel controls work. I also had to go back to the version of a.a ?

carstream 2.0.5 works except steering controls

Carstream works for me, I've installed Carstream 2.0.5 and unlocked with built in unlock, Android Auto 5.2.501054 I am able to view videos from internal storage of my phone and from youtube.

But Steering controls not working (Previous track and next track buttons), volume controls working fine.

i ve tried with converting carstream as a system app but no use, Previously i was able to use steering controls with CS 2.0.3 ans AA 4.8.

I wanted to thank the developer for the creation of his Car Stream program, really a very good application, I talked about it in my video from minute 2.20

[YOUTUBE]https://youtu.be/8NgVp0krTTg[/YOUTUBE]

I'm very happy to use it on my car.

thanks again
[Android Auto General] nellobnn:
I quote, if it is possible to use steering controls will be better. I understand that starting from 2.0.3 is possible (unfortunatly I have not prove that version)

I'm facing an issue when trying to log in, on my Redmi Note 7. When introducing my account, a google error message "browser or app may not be secure. Try usin a diferent browser. If you're already using a supported browser, you can refresh your screen and try again to sign in.", and I am not able to sign in. Any clues on this?

Edit: I found the solution. I was trying to log in via desktop mode. If facing this issue, disable desktop mode. Then, in mobile mode, go up to the top and select the URL bar, as if you were to introduce a URL. Bottom bar should appear, with library the right most icon. Press library, then press sign in. No errors should appear.
[Android Auto General] eArmin:
I can confirm it is working so far. Android Auto 5.3 and CarStream 2.0.5, and AA PhenotypePatcher 0.85. Also tried "Fermata Auto 1.6.1" and it did work as well. I did the following steps, but not sure if they all needed or not:

- Updated Android Auto to the latest version 5.3

- Cleared Google Player Services Data

- Installed CarStream 2.0.5, AA Patcher 0.85, and Fermata

- Unlocked (Root) using builtin CarStream option (No reboot)

- Unblocked CarStream and Fermata in AA Patcher

- Reboot Phone

- Connect to the car and Done!

It would be great if it was possible to hide the navigation bar, but it seems impossible.

I just got around to trying this app now that I have a job where I sit in my car and do nothing for 13 hours. Youtube seems to work fine with the app but when I try to access my internal storage nothing pops up. I checked and the app does have storage permission. Any ideas what could be wrong?

[Android Auto General] shakyone:
1) Disconnect your phone from the car USB connection.

2) Go into your Android Settings > Apps & Notifications > See all XXX apps

3) Find VLC, assuming you have it, Select [Force Stop] button. Select "Storage" and [Clear Cache] button.

4) Repeat step 3 for Carstream.

5) Repeat step 3 for Android Auto.

6) Reconnect to your car's USB. It should restart Android Auto. Try and play an MP4 file with Carstream again.

If that doesn't work, repeat 1-5, reboot your phone, and re-attempt 6.

I have this happen every so often when I switch between playing YouTube videos online and MP4 videos in the phone memory.

Sometimes I perform step 3 on YouTube as well. It just seems to be an issue with the audio hand-off as you switch between apps.

I'm using a Pixel 3, Carstream 2.0.4, AA Patcher .85, and a 2019 Honda Accord. Sometimes after I do this the reboot doesn't re-connect to my car. This occurs more often when I skip step 1. When that happens, I actually need to pull over, turn my car off, and then back on. And for those that care, my steering wheel controls stopped working when I switched from 2.0.0 to 2.0.4. I never tried the ones in between. I'm about to attempt 2.0.5, as I just found it in this thread.

Hi,

I got it to work however after running the phenotype patcher it broke my modems... Now i get a "No SIM card inserted" message. Can anyone help? I'm on a OnePlus 7 pro running OOS 10.3.3 and AA 5.3.501644
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
It's impossible that this is caused by AA Phenotype Patcher. Maybe you applied some other mods to your phone?
[Android Auto General] jwebe03:
At the time that was the only mod i made on my phone. Everything was working until that point. I am running substratum Dark on my phone.

---------- Post added at 05:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 PM ----------

Other than substratum i am running just the stock Oxygen OS. Playing with my phone some more I have noticed also that i am not getting done when I use Carstream but a [MENTION=1012307]also[/MENTION] that i can not use Google voice to make a voip call but it will let me send a text. And my text app will launch but all my texts are gone and i can't use it to send texts.
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
You may want to clear cache from recovery and try to boot into system.

If issue still persists you may want to clear cache & datas of Google Play Services

AA Phenotype Patcher does nothing else than modyfing some rows in Google Play Services database in order to put apps you want to patch into blacklist.
[Android Auto General] jwebe03:
Thank you for your help and info. I reinstalled and cleared my cache and that didn't work, however when i reinstalled my phone app, both my phone app and my messaging started working again. And my phone was recognising my sim card again.

Any working versions to get Youtube working?

Hi there,

I am installing both CarStream + Android Auto on the older versions that people are advising.

Has anyone got an idea on a working version for AA + CarStream?

Running OnePlus 8 on Latest version of Android (Android 10) (OxygenOS 10.5.8).

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Android Auto General] Fishcat7:
I downloaded the app and installed it without any problems.

So the problem is on your side...

Try to uninstall your actual version of carstream, clean phone with sd maid, reboot the phone, re download the 2.0.5 version and install it again

How can I get Steering Control to Work
[Android Auto General] Alexc123:
Can you please reply with what versions of Android Auto your running along with the order of installing apps?

That was version 2.0.5 of CarStream and I do not require root?
[Android Auto General] Fishcat7:
Root is mandatory!

I suggest to uninstall Android Auto and carstream, clean the phone with sd maid, reboot the phone, follow this guide.

1. Install the Android Auto from play store, for me the last available version is 5.4.502264

2. Open Android Auto

3. Go to the settings, tap on the version tab some times to unlock the developer settings

4. Open developer settings

5. Set up the application mode in "developer" and set up the unknown source

6. Install phenotype patcher, version 0.85

7. Install carstream, version 2.0.5

8. Open phenotype patcher

9. Tap on three bottoms

10. Select carstream

11. Return to the main screen and tap on "patch"

12. Reboot the phone

13. Open carstream, give all the permission, set up it for your use

14. Connect the phone to your auto

15. Enjoy carstream

---------- Post added at 09:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 AM ----------

I don't think it is possible on Carstream...

You can try to use Fermata Auto and Fermata Control but I'm not sure that it is possible to use steering control in the YouTube mode

thanks
[Android Auto General] gtandem:
I allow myself to ask the question again, but am I the only one who has this problem? I have also tried 2.05 but nothing changes.
[Android Auto General] gururoop:
So, I finally got CarStream working using [MENTION=5741051]Fishcat7[/MENTION]'s guide given above, but I have a few issues:

1. The audio and video is always out of sync, no matter if I play from internet or SD card.

2. If I play videos from the internet, the player exits full screen after every video, even if I select full screen from bottom right corner of the video or top menu bar of CarStream.

3. While playing videos from SD card, there is no audio. If I press the mic button on top menu bar of CarStream, the audio comes for a few seconds (even with Google assistant animation) and then goes blank. So I'm sure it's not a codec problem.
[Android Auto General] Sarmingsteiner:

Hi guys, me again. :)

So my Carstream run, but i got the issue, that most of the time the video on youtube is frozen while playing or the video sector of the screen is still black.

Most of the time there are shown the video, but it freezes. Audio goes as normal as ever.

There are 2 videos on youtube that runs with video complete smooth, also when the other videos make the issue above.

Is there a workaround I've over read here in the thread or have I to live with this matter.

For the info: I run in AA 9 with Carstream patched with phenotype patcher 0.85 on an Note 10 plus.

Currently I don't plan to upgrade to AA 10, 'cause i think there will be closed the security hole for my purposes. ;)

Please let me know or send me in the right direction for the solution.

Screen2auto is for mirror phone screen on the screen of your car. It is very powerful and have a lot of functions.

Carstream and fermata auto is only for watch video and YouTube client.
