I dont understand how any of this works. No apk file - nothing!

Is it so hard to compile a small Android App that will just hack the AndroidAutos files and load your custom Background?
[Android Auto General] krilok:
Read the first post thoroughly, all information is there. You also have links to both the video tutorials and the files you require to get it working...

And by the way, the Dev is providing you just that; an app/s to hack AA and customise it to your liking, so please be appreciative of the time and effort he's already spent compiling and developing this.
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
As [MENTION=2913096]krilok[/MENTION] correctly pointed out, the OP has all the informations to get started with Wallpapers for AA.

I should also let you know that Wallpapers for AA is already able to change the default wallpaper of Android Auto, with already more than 800 wallpapers available. I've always been open to user submitted wallpapers, since Substratum does not provide an option to load a file from the device memory, so if your aim is to have your wallpaper into WP4AA simply let me know.
[Android Auto General] nimeshyadav:
I am not able to open the app in my oneplus 7T.
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
Wallpapers for AA is not a stand-alone app. You need Substratum or Substratum Lite to make it work.
[Android Auto General] nimeshyadav:
Does it requires Root?
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
I suppose your Android version is 10, so yes, it requires root.
[Android Auto General] nimeshyadav:
Yes i am on Android 10.

[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
Hi guys,

I just want to give a quick update regarding Wallpapers For AA development.

First thing first, XDA Labs has been down for quite some time by now. It's possible to download Wallpapers For AA from GitHub, including most of the older versions.

You might have heard the news that Google started developing this new feature that will let all Android Auto users to swap the default wallpaper.

It will have a grand total of 6 (!!!) wallpapers + an option to have it fully black.

I've enabled the feature with a Google Play Services manipulation and once this feature will be rolled out, it will break Wallpapers For Android Auto as it is now.

I don't want Wallpapers For Android Auto to end.

Wallpapers For Android Auto was built around personalization. It packs more than 850 wallpapers and it's by far the most complete way to give Android Auto a personal and fresh look. Having 5 more wallpapers inside Android Auto will not beat the collection of Wallpapers For Android Auto.

It's totally possible to adapt the theme to this new feature, but since the rollout of this (by Google) will be quite surely a step-by-step process, there will be some things to consider. There's no roadmap whatsoever on when this feature will be eventually live, but when it will, I'm planning on refactoring a bit the arrangement of wallpapers. Specifically, since there will be 6 wallpaper to choose from, some wallpapers will be merged to others to create some packs (e.g. Pack with Jeep logo, or pack with Pixel 5 Wallpapers).

During the rollout of the feature there will be two different scenarios:

Users that still haven't received the feature will have to stick with a version of Wallpapers For AA that is still compatible with the old scheme with one wallpaper

Users that have received the feature will have to install a newer version of Wallpapers For AA that can work with this new thing

I could technically make so that my new app, AA AIO TWEAKER, can pack an option to force the new feature to be active and start the re-arrangement right now so that users in the first scenario will actually have a getaway to have the latest and greatest Wallpapers For AA but I don't want to force my users to download another app to make my theme work.

So please help me out right now.

Should I wait for Google or should I start refactoring now?
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
Heya!

The moment has come and the big refactoring is now complete!

Introducing the biggest update to Wallpapers For Android Auto

All the versions are now to version 3.0 and the theme has been completely re-written to be compliant to the new Android Auto wallpaper selection feature.

In case you missed the news, I strongly suggest to read this article.

Since there will be a graphical user interface to change the wallpaper on the car's screen (see more here) I made so that some wallpapers are now part of packs. So, per say, let's pick "Art Painting - Monet". Before, they were two different options but now:

As you can see, the two pictures form a pack and can be switched when Android Auto is running!

PAY ATTENTION!!!!

Most probably, you haven't recieved the new wallpaper feature. If you haven't received you have two alternatives:

1) Don't update Wallpapers For Android Auto to version 3.0

2) Use my app "AA AIO TWEAKER" (latest version that came out today) and force the activation of this feature. Root is required, can be downloaded from here: https://github.com/shmykelsa/AA-Tweaker/releases

WARNING: this feature is supported on Android Auto 5.8 or above. Be sure to check Android Auto version first before updating.

Full changelog here

Downlaod is hosted on GitHub

CLEAN INSTALL IS RECOMENDED

Since the theme has been basically re-written, if you have previously installed options of Wallpapers For Android it is best advised to uninstall them before applying new version.

If you really like my themes also consider a donation, even a small amount will be appreciated :)

Heya!

New version of Wallpapers For AA is live on GitHub

This new version of Wallpapers For AA fixes compatibility with Android Auto 6.0. Please install it only if your version of Android Auto is 6.0.x

With Android Auto 6.0 the number of total slots for the packs went from 6, all the way up to 14! So now some more packs were added.

PAY ATTENTION!!!!

This version too is only compatible with the new implementation of Wallpapers inside Android Auto. Most probably, you haven't recieved the new wallpaper feature. If you haven't received you have two alternatives:

1) Don't update Wallpapers For Android Auto to version 3.0

2) Use my app "AA AIO TWEAKER" (latest version that came out today) and force the activation of this feature. Root is required, can be downloaded from here: https://github.com/shmykelsa/AA-Tweaker/releases

Hello, please help

on youTube I see videos reporting the "Android Auto BAckgrounds" of Gabriele Rizzo...but can't find any link to DL it.

I have Android Auto V.5.9.604633 on Samsung J7 with Android 9.

I have rooted it and installed Substraum Lite.

What should I DL and where to get the .apk to personalize the Android Wallpaper?

Thanks a lot

[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
Heya!

New version of Wallpapers For AA (every variant) are now live on GitHub!

This new versions features more cleanup of options in favour of packs and new wallpapers!

Google seems to have rolled out the new feature of changing wallpaper quite globally, so I'll make a big recap of some important things to take note before using the theme:

No, Wallpapers For AA is not dead! It will just live on top of the change wallpaper option in Android Auto! We are very close to the thousand mark, which is a bit more than the 14 wallpapers included in Android Auto

In case you still haven't received the option to change the wallpaper (head over to settings in the car and see if you have such option) you are in luck and you can force the activation with my app AA AIO TWEAKER (plus, you can do a hell lot of other stuff)

Starting from Wallpapers For AA 3.0, the theme will use the change of wallpaper function and packs were introduced into the themes. Packs are a way to have more than one wallpaper into a single option. In Wallpapers For AA packs are marked with "PACK" at the end. In Wallpapers For AA Vehicles version, every option that falls in the category of badges and brands are packs. Other packs are marked with "PACK" at the end.

If you apply a pack, you can switch dinamically on AA the wallpaper via the change wallpaper function.

When you don't apply a pack, you have to set the very first wallpaper (mountains)

Enjoy customization!

Hi guys!

I have extras 4AA, Icons 4AA and Animations 4AA all installed and working fine, but I can't get working Themes 4AA.

I don't know why the wallpapers doesn't change when I select and apply one.

I have a Samsung S8+. Do you know what can be happening?
[Android Auto General] eula1977:
i have the same problem for a short while the wallpapers no longer work. They won't show up .. the rest works .. someone has a solution. is it again due to a Google update?
[Android Auto General] sosimple:
Hi. Did the Developer stopped the project? I suppose so.. I only want 50% navbar.. It works in android 11, rooted. But there is one problem. As the dimensions of the resolution changes, IF i apply 50% navbar, as i go at the edges of the screen in car, there is a difference between where i actually press, and where s2a recognize the pressing... For example i have finger press the screen 1 cm before the right edge of the screen, but the pressing is at the edge of the screen (not 1 cm before as it should). As much you go left or right in the screen, the difference becomes more and more.. So at the center of the screen it is ok..

I believe it happens because in the code some numbers of pressing aren't correct any more..

For example when:

-navbar is 100% resolution is 1080χ540, (1/2) and everything is fine.

If i use:

-navbar 50% resolution CHANGES 1080χ594 (1:8204) because there is now more space in the screen as navbar becomes. Smaller. Now there is the pressing problem. If i changes resolution to something (1:2) again, pressing problems goes away but there is black bars in screen (as size as 50% of navbar..)

So i can understand the problem, i can't find any solution. I saw the code when we change size in navbar with apk editor, and there is a variable pressing or something with some numbers, but i don't really know what to change to try.. If the Developer still reads and understand the problem, perhaps may find a solution. Or if he has any suggestion what number to charge to try..I have a galaxy note 8.

Thanks,

Thanks to [MENTION=6218143]maniha[/MENTION] for letting me address this issue. Now the background is changed and it's called Skyline (16-bit). Substratum didn't like the old name so it wouldn't build properly.

[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
Thank you for the feedback, I'm not sure on how you would like to modify the bottom bar. You mean the icons? The colours? Or you want to get rid of it?

Nevertheless, chances are that the bar could be modified in the colours and in the icons but it's currently out of the scope of this Substratum Theme, and not really planned.

I took a look at other resources of Android Auto APK and something could be changed, but I'm not exactly sure if it's gonna worth it in terms of appeareance, since I think it's fine as it is. Maybe in the future the theme will extend to other items of Android Auto.

If you wanna get rid of the bottom bar to achieve fullscreen, I'm pretty sure there's no actual way. And I think it's better for usability purposes :)
[Android Auto General] maniha:
Great! Thanks for your quick reply and work. Anyway, changing the background is already wonderful!

Thanks again!

Edit: now it's working perfect. Well done!

Hi there,

Substratum is required to get it working. Lucky for you Substratum on One UI devices is possible without root (if you don't wish to root your phone). Search for Synergy setup, then you will be ready to go to use this theme! (OP has a link to Substratum starting guide)

Hi!

Is there any way to launch Substratum on Android 7 (Nuga)? Or it is absolutely impossible.
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
Substratum is compatible with Nougat (root only). The latest version compatible is 1000. OS has to be compatible with OMS in order to apply substratum themes.
