I am doing this for a year now. I use an old nexus 5x.

Until now i had a original based custom rom, but just ysterday i wanted to refresh some things so i installed slim rom. (It is very light and dont have play services. I then installed pico gapps. It is the lighter you can flash so that android auto to work).

I use 7.1.2 custom rom because i think is better for android auto.

Anyway what i have:

-I used a switch (on/of), soldered in a cable so tha start / stop android auto just by turning on/off the switch.

- I disabled completely lockscreen. Set brightness to min and disable auto brightness.

- Use titanium to freeze whatever i don't need. Many things including phone app, etc)

- I used tasker. 2 conditions:

When phone doesn't charge set battery save mode.

When car mode is enabled (which means android auto is running) enable wifi on, location on etc. When car mode of disable all, also kill 20 apps (so that no app stay in background so no battery consumption when android auto goes off).

(some use only charging condition but my setup is more complicated so this works fantastic.)

With this, i practically can use android auto without ever battery discharge. When phone doesn't change and android auto doesn't run, battery consumption is very very low. It can Last more than 20 days and battery is very old.

I actually have some more complicated setup. When switch is off i change from another usb of the car (not the one i use for android auto). I have in this usb a changer with more amper to charge faster when i don't use android auto..

I don't propose it as this is much difficult for the average person. Just write it as an idea if car doesn't change fast (this happens in my car).

I posted my use / ideas. Some may be useful to some, some other not.

I may post a video here displaying it some time when i found time and tasker setup if anyone need it as many wants this. I have read alot to do this in varius sites.

I made a 4 minutes video displaying android auto mirroring in my car, with some apps and a dedicated phone with a switch for this. It may give some ideas:

Hi .

What rom do you recommend for S5?
[Android Auto General] Deleted member 1198227:
You mean galaxy s5?, I don't have s5. I had it in past. I would install something similar to the rom i installed to nexus 5x i have.

The lighter nougat rom with pico gapps.

If it goes ok with battery consumpsion an especially standby time you keep it. If not try another one.
[Android Auto General] juanmontequinto:
Thanks for the advice :bueno:

[Android Auto General] mippen:
Take a look at this guys solution.

[Android Auto General] WieselDroid:
Thank you for all the suggestions so far. :)

I remember that I read somewhere that Android Auto only needs the data wires from the USB cable so it would be possible to connect only the two data wires to the cars USB port and the other two wires to a fast charger, I think there even are prebuild Y-like cables that do exactly this.

But I'm not sure if this still works as expected since nowadays we have USB-C connectors and a lot of different fast charging standards. Some require the data cables to be short cutted (so you cannot use data at the same time) while others send different voltage impulses as handshakes to determine the charger type.

But maybe it is worth looking into this topic for you (and maybe for me aswell if I will encounter the same issue).

Doesn't look like this would be working, found a thread here about it: https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/android-auto-general/usb-y-cable-to-quick-charge-android-t3448805
[Android Auto General] Deleted member 1198227:
You read my mind.. :)

That i was thinking to do in future. I just dont change anything yet as everything working perfect.

But i think more would become simplier if i connect only the 2 data cables in car usb of android auto (or the 3rd cable , earth, also), and charging from the other usb with the fast charger.

As i remember it was working when i experimended.
[Android Auto General] pajarito3003:
Hi guys, Is possible connect 2 phones to car?

I explain my case, I have a Sync3 (Ford), with 2 USB, my plan is use an old Xperia ARC to install AA mirror, and use my first phone for use with android auto..

Is possible this?

Xperia is easy rooteable, my first phone is a Huawei P20 Pro without root.

Thanks in advance!!!!
[Android Auto General] WieselDroid:
Sorry, haven't seen this post. I think it is not possible with both USBs but you can put one phone to the usb and use it as a forwarder for the other phone.

[Android Auto General] lew26:
I'm confused. Why does a phone using android auto have to be rooted?
[Android Auto General] ahhl:
well,

i been doing for the past 4 years already. you can use non root device but you miss out on video play on the car screen.

i am using redmi 4x and redmi 3, both because the availability of custom rom. but i didn use custom rom because it seems the custom roam break data and sms.

not all old phone can be use because on certain devices, android auto takes ages to connect to satellite. for example i hav tried S4, huawei mate 7, Vivo V9, all these device have problem with gps connection, sometimes didn't connect to satellite at all. it seems the low end android device release before 2016 have this issues. i think it also because of my geographic location whic require a-gps, glonass and bds, the only it work.

heating issues, yes, it exist but i use kernal app to limit the max core speed. that it works.

the other reason i chose redmi because the ability to modify the init.rc file to make the device to auto boot when i start the car.

and to turn off the device automatically when you exit the car, i use microdroid and power unplug. apk, which only available on aptoid.

i also create a macro, to send my car location to me incase of theft.[emoji1696]
[Android Auto General] eng3:
I'm looking into doing this. I have an old Sony Z5 Compact but if I recall, it was too slow for AA. Therefore, I'd appreciate any recommendations for a cheap used phone I could buy.

I'm thinking it has to have:

1. Good GPS

2. Ability to Charge faster than it can drain

3. nanoSIM

4. Ability to root for things like init.rc for autoboot.

5. Fast boot time would be nice but perhaps I can use tasker/automate to have it goto deep sleep when its not charging

Ideally, a cheap used unlocked phone I can buy on ebay. Just searching specs, I'm thinking perhaps a Moto G Stylus, Xiomi Poco M3. I also have an old Pixel XL but I'm saving that for unlimited google photos

Before my car had android auto, I used an old tablet. It worked OK but the biggest issue was that it could not charge faster than it would drain. The battery would eventually wear down. Also, after a while, AA would just crash. Ofcourse, here, I'm just mirroring so it is a little different.
[Android Auto General] sosimple:
I wrote above as "sosimple" but it now shows me "deleted member" due to a problem in xda forum through its moving period, that accidentally deleted my account.

Anyways, as i wrote i have an old nexus 5x. Its not the best for the work, but it does it.

If i was going to get one phone for this now, i would search something better. Probably is a good solution to buy a used phone with broken (but working) screen to get it very cheap.

4-5. I think is difficult to find one who does this. I couldn't do it in Nexus 5x (although i read it can be done) so i used a different approach :

2 Tasker scripts to watch if car mode is enabled or not.

-When android auto running, car mode is enabled automatically, tasker script1 run so do what you need then eg turn on Bluetooth, gps, normal battery mode etc..

-When android auto is off, car mode disabled automatically tasker script2 run so disable Bluetooth, GPS, enable battery light consumption mode, flight mode, etc.

This way nexus 5x (and probably most phones) loose 1-2% battery in standby mode per day, so you don't actually needs to power off phone, and it boots to android auto much faster (5 seconds in Nexus). Especially if you debloat phone. I have deleted (or freeze with titanium) most of android. Keep only what needed for android auto and mirroring to work. I did this not only for battery but also for speed.

2. As i wrote before, i have created a cable with a switch:

-when turn on switch phone connect to car usb for android auto, so android auto runs.

But i do have the problem of phone drain faster than charging. It depends of the car. If the usb for android auto charges slow, you can't do anything for this. I didn't have much problem because the battery still last for 6 hours continually.

-When turn off the switch, disconnect phone from car usb for android auto (so android auto stops in phone and in car), and connecting the phone to a 2nd usb of the car where i have a fast usb charger.

This way battery is always charged.

I use it more than 2 years this way, everything works fine.

But there is probably a better solution that i may try in future.

For understanding what i will write (i have created the cable 2 years ago so i dont remember exactly how), I'll post some info, and Google it for more:

A usb cable have 5 wires inside. 2 are for data, 2 for power +-, and 1 for grounding.

So you can create a cable which the 2 cables for +- will go to a fast usb charger. This way phone will always charge fast (faster than it drain) when car in on.

The other 2 wires and ground will go to the car usb for android auto.

You will have a Y cable with 3 usb: the 1st goes to phone, the 2nd go to the (fast) charger, the 3rd go to car usb for android auto.

I have try this and worked. You don't have to charge phone from the same usb which use android auto.

English is not my native language, i hope everyone who reads to understand what i write.

If i do this method I'll post the wiring.

This is my old video, i have change many things from then, I'll post another one some time.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mrmlk:
Hello all,

I'm not sure how I've done it, but I seam to have made my phone only run signed applications. Other than splatting it (I'll have to find out how to do that in a bit) how can I undo this? I take it this is a reg setting somewhere? Does anyone know which, and if I can get a signed reg editor, or one that runs on my computer?

Cheers,

Mike
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RizwanKhan:
hmm ... that is funny never ran into that before. I don't know about a signed register editor but can you run kaiser tweak?? it has an option to disable security warnings for unassigned apps. If all fails try doing a hard reset (back up important data first).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gnanavel Pandian:
Hi.I was trying to change bootanimation on my android without root.So I had searched Google and tried one method which was "adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local" .By running that command through adb I got Permission denied Error.I tried another one.I first flashed twrp and through that I changed permission to read write execute.When I was in twrp mode I connected to my computer and changed bootanimation by removing the old bootanimation and add new bootanimation by running above adb command.When I restarted new bootanimation was not loaded even though I changed permission to rw-r-r but it was loading stock bootanimation.I had a doubt whether new bootanimation is applied or not.So when my phone was in normal mode I connected to my computer and through adb I run this command "adb pull bootanimation.zip C:".This command created a backup of my bootanimation to my computer.When I viewed the backed up bootanimation file it was new bootanimation file.But why is not getting applied or loaded on booting of phone?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Augustoandro:
bootanimation.zip is available in /data/media. Replace the bootanimation.zip over there with yours.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Howeitworks:
1.)Remove third party potential threating apps just to be sure.

2.)Always make sure the phones up to date on the latest firmware.

3.)The next step is to go to the dialer ##72786# that forces the phone to reactivate.

4.)Next step go back to the dialer and dial ##3282#

4.2)Go to edit

4.3)Then type 000000

4.4)Then go to LTE

4.5)Then go to band 41 that is enabled and uncheck to disable.

4.6)Then go to band 25 that is enabled and uncheck to disable.

4.7)Then go to band 41PCII that is enabled and uncheck to disable.

5.)Reboot the phone don't expect full LTE service yet there are still some more steps...

6.)Go to settings find VOLTE and enable. Search VOLTE in the search bar to enable it.Swipe right on the button to turn it on. New icon will pop up at the top of the phone if done correctly.

7.)Then go back to the dialer and type ##3282#

7.2)Go to edit

7.3)Then type 000000 again

7.4)Then LTE again

7.5)Then go to band priority

7.6 & 7.7)Set both bands 41 and 25 to the bottom of the list by typing the number 17 on band 25 and 18 on band 41 and that pushes them down the list. Make sure band 26 is set to 1 on the priority list.

7.8)Then turn off your phone and turn it back on.

This fix is broken from a network reset or ##72786# update or Samsung software update. So reapply the fix after each update or network reset

I keep on searching and searching but with no results! Where can I find a cab with a phone dialer skin with a simply and clear button for video call, to install in my WM6.1???

Thanx a lot!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] sergiopi:
Manila dialer, in the AP4 addons has the video call button, BUT in ANY DIALER video call works ONLY in 192 DPI resolution. (I've tested with manila dialer too).

The only way to place (or receive) a video call is:

1) in REAL VGA menu chose 192 DPI, UNCHECK disable phone skin checkbox.

2) The phone is restarted and you have the original phone dialer, with video call WORKING.

To restore the old resolution:

1) REALVGA , 96 (or 128) DPI, check disable PHONE SKIN.

2) The phone is restarted.

If you choose to uncheck the DISABLE PHONE SKIN checkbox you will have a 96 (or 128) phone pad with VIDEO CALL button enabled, but, if you try to place a video call..., no way ho have it placed! :(

Video call feature isn't in WM OS and is an external application, not working in any other resolution. the problem ISN'T related to the phone SKIN,the problem is the application! :(
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] asci:
Grazie Sergiopi...

so I have installed Manila dialer and the main screen of dialer shows on the left my contacts and on the right the dialer and no call button at all. I mean if you have to place a call you have to choose a contact from the list, than open menu option and select the only option available that is "Video Call". It seems to be a little bit complex...not a quick solution to place a call.

I'd like to have the original WM6 phone dialer skin. I think it was the only one simple and quick to use...

So if you have any links where to download it, it would be great.

The one that comes with IRUS Full ROM (great rom indeed) is T-mobile style...really not the best one.

Grazie!

Sorry, I haven't any link for the original color scheme, but may be in the UNIVERSAL section you will find something...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Tadeusz:
Hi,

It is not exactly the case. I use 128dpi but with UNCHECKED "Disable phone skin" checkbox so the original dialer loads with VideoCall button. I can receive and initiate Video Calls successfully. The only drawback is that the smart dialing function is messed up because of improperly showed fields with selected contacts.

If Manilla Dialer from AP4 can fix this then excellent.

I use Irus WWE 6.1 but this was in all ROMS with 128 dpi and 96 dpi, in my case.

Edit:

Manila Dialer is nice, but has 2 drowbacks. It has no Video Call option. It also does not have a Call/Send button. If smart dialing function selects a contact for you, then the only possibility to place a call is to have your keyboard with you or use a "Video Call" option from menu, which, actually initiates standard call instead of video.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Tadeusz:
Must have features of dialer for Athena

So we are in the starting point. We are looking for dialer which will have the following features:

1. The smart dialing function should work properly in all possible dpis (192/128/96 at least).

2. There is a Send/Call button.

3. Video call is possible.

4. It provides call History and Speed Dial option

5. It has nice shape.

I am surprised that there is so many dialler's here but non of it fulfils those obvious conditions. Or I have missed one?
