Yes. I had moved on to some other projects over the past few weeks, but yesterday I downloaded the latest version of AA 7.4. At first S2A did not work, but after fiddling around with some settings I got it to appear in my car and it seems to function properly at least with YouTube which is all I care about. The only thing I did differently from before was in developer settings I set Application Mode to Retail. And I rebooted my phone several times and rebooted my car too, and S2A reappears and functions properly. I did not have to clear data in AA each time. Fingers crossed, we'll see if things are still working tomorrow.
[Android Auto General] tiho5:
Did you use AIO 501 or 502?
[Android Auto General] BrianRC:
I have V.5.0.2

And for the record, I did have to clear data in AA to get S2A up and running today. But that is all I had to do. It only takes a few seconds so not too big of a deal.
[Android Auto General] Roflstompa:
can anyone explain how i can turn off the phone screen without the screen going black on the car unit? i understand its mirroring but it would be nice not to have the phone screen on all the time.
[Android Auto General] mik101:
Screen2Auto -> Screen Settings -> Overwrite screen brightness, make sure it is enabled and set it to 0. If it doesn't work on your device, then it's likely a bug in S2A or your rom/device deals with screenbrightness in a non-standard way. (Like how the OBD2 Torque app ignores the system wide rotation settings).

You may also have the Enable Blackout Screen option at the bottom enabled. Turn that off unless you really need to dim the head unit (GU screen).

On that note, does anyone know what "Monobrow" is supposed to be the English translation for from Russian? I'm guessing it's supposed to be "header" or "status bar" or something, but I haven't had a chance to play with it to see what actually changes.

Everything is working great here on AA 7.3.620514 other than a small black gap on the left edge of the screen when using YouTube Music Vanced in tablet mode. Obviously YTM isn't supposed to support tablet mode on phones anyway, so I'll take that as a win. I'm guessing it's due to my screen ratio since this phone is 2400x1080. Everything else seems to scale fine to the low resolution panel Toyota is currently using in E210 Corollas.
[Android Auto General] Roflstompa:
Thanks for your response. I will give that a try and see how it goes.

I wouldn't know what the monobrow option is at this stage but you might be on the money with that one. Most likely header or status bar.

It would be good if i could get netflix working! it plays and you can see all the controls on screen but the media doesnt show.
[Android Auto General] mik101:
No problem. I hope it helps. I also enable the touch button with double tap to return to the S2A launcher. On that page you will see a button that looks like a phone. That is how you can turn your phone screen from blacked out to enabled if you need to make any changes while the phone is still plugged in.

Yeah that's the DRM blocking the video. There's supposedly one version of the netflix app that they forgot to enable the DRM on mentioned earlier in this thread, but unfortunately it doesn't work for me either. Though I should try it again now that I have more bugs worked out on my device.

Edit: The version mentioned was Netflix 7.99.0 build 14 (35427)

Hello. I don't know the relationship it has... I'm going to measure it, but at first glance it looks rectangular. It's a shame that this function doesn't work.
[Android Auto General] jmayes1:
I am pulling my hair out over apps disappearing in AA. I have a non-rooted lg G8 ThinQ android 11 aa 7.3.6. In Feb/22 I used AAAD and everything worked fine ( and still is) but without root I don't have touch so I went out and got a moto G7 rooted with lineage/Magisk android 11, choose the same steps and I can only get it to work 1 or 2 times before I lose the apps.

I have used LSPosed/HMA to detach play store (successfully) and tried to load aa 6.9 and 7.0 but both ask to update as soon as they start, I tried starting older AA versions with airplane mode on and it would let me set it up only to be asked to update as soon as I turned off airplane mode. I have also tried aaTweaker 5.02 and AAease 0.4, nothing works. Any suggestions would be very helpful, all I want to do is mirror with touch.

I don't understand why the non-rooted phone worked and the rooted one will not with all versions the same.

I have also read until my eyes blead, the 1st 20 or so pages and the last 20 pages of this thread as well a googling all over the net and nothing seems to work for me.

Thankx for any help someone can provide,

[Android Auto General] Mastiff:
I connected my rooted S10 on Android 10 to the car for the first time in quite a while, and last time I had a working S2A with touch and all. When it started up it said I had to update AA to run it. The weird thing is that the phone is a dedicated AA phone (I use a Huawei P30 myself, but that can't be rooted in any sensible way with good working results) without a SIM card, and it should not have an internet connection.

In the car (a fully electrical Mercedes EQC) it's connecting by wifi to a Pi running the media player software (J.River Media Center), a wifi router and a Mercedes Me integration for Home assistant. That Pi is connected to yet another Pi running OpenWRT. This connects to my wifi at home when it's there and uses an LTE modem when it's not. But here's the kicker: It's DNS blocked for anything but the Mercedes addresses necessary for the Hass integration and the Norwegian newspaper VG, which is used for ping from Hass. So there are only three possibilities:

1. AA connects for updates by IP addresses not an address that needs DNS.

2. The phone managed to connect for a few seconds to the home wifi when I was parked outside before it jumped to the much stronger car wifi.

3. There is a time bomb in AA that makes it demand an updated after a certain time.

Can somebody please tell me which is the corrrect answer here, so I can avoid it? And can I get rid of the problem? I did the upgrade, used Settings/Apps to remove all updates, disconnected from the net and reinstalled the working version, but it demanded an update again, even without wifi activated, so either it's a time bomb or it remembers that it wanted an update from before.
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
As far as I know all Google apps have a time bomb. Also most banking apps have time bombs.
[Android Auto General] Mastiff:
@SOFO888 Aha, thanks! That would explain it. I've been using 7.0.614174, since that's the one I managed to get working with touch, but I guess that's beem time bombed now, then.
[Android Auto General] Il gladiatore:
Could you please attach the renamed file again because the link to be able to download it has expired, I would also need the renamed file because with lucky I was not able to do it.
[Android Auto General] xFaultx:
I updated my notes to include a slightly faster solution using Titanium Backup.

Someone who is more familiar with actual android code possibly should look into what the actual flag file/data is that AA is adding that causes S2A to disappear, and maybe we can make a Magisk module or something to block that.
[Android Auto General] jimikoukou:
Hello, you can now actually use the AAEase app from the developer of Screen2Auto that installs the app auto-renamed without the need to do anything more.

[Android Auto General] jmayes1:
It seems that S2a can not be used on a rooted phone right now (Android 11), no mater what I do it disappears after about a day. 6.9 and 7.0 both ask for update, 7.2 worked the longest at a full day but still stopped. I was able to install 6.9 in airplane mode and setup AA but as soon as I gave it internet it asked for the update. My rooted phone(s) both work fine with a simple AAAD install, the LG ThinQ will not work with touch buy I have a Samsung A50 that will so am trying to set it up as a 2nd phone using S2echo (no sim in 2nd phone) which leads to my next post....
[Android Auto General] jmayes1:
so has anyone used S2echo? unless I am missing something it's completely in Russian, I did some translation of the setup page and am attaching it here in hopes it helps someone. Seems straight forward except I don't understand the Bluetooth function, it's a dropdown that shows all my paired devices and says it's for internet but it's using a wifi connection so not sure why Bluetooth is also needed. In S2a the setup has activate and Wifi where it just comes up with a white box, no wifi networks there to select. So that is where I am at, does not look like it is working yet, is it for someone else?
[Android Auto General] xlouk:
Have installed AAAD and S2A (V3.6.2) and the other apps offered by AAAD on a SAMSUNG Note 9 with Adroid 10. AA has version 7.3.6.

The phone is not rooted.

When I attach the phone via USB to the head unit (VW Discover Pro MIB 2.5), I can start S2A. I can also start an app at the head unit, but I can not use the touch screen of the head unit in the apps.

I need to operate the apps via phone screen.

In the head unit I can see everything and sound arrives also. But touch usage on head unit screen is not possible. Am I doing something wrong or is this not working yet?

Can it or will it be fixed?
[Android Auto General] Mastiff:
Easy fix, luckily. I upgraded the nagging thing, and nothing worked, of course. Then I disabled auto update and the phone's automatic time and date functions, set the date to October last year, removed all updates from AA and installed the working version from last fall as an update (downgrading from the current version doesn't work, I had to uninstall updates from the menu in Apps). So now I have everything back working as it should.
[Android Auto General] domi1066:
Can we do something with "per apps hacking" https://repo.xposed.info/module/org.t2k269.perapphacking

Allow set a fake time to fake an app to a specific time just like time machine. Time format is YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI

i'll try with android auto 7.4 (magisk 23/riru LSposed)

Don't work witk AA 7.4 , i try with 7.06
[Android Auto General] Uksus17:
There are no global fixes. Small fixes made - try it. Probably these items (180, 270) should be removed. Since only auto-rotate and 90 degrees have practical meaning.
[Android Auto General] tosonny:
This version is not working for me it on screen2Auto on my screen it does nothing. If I open the app on my phone and Tab settings it closes
[Android Auto General] Asselnik:
Ok, thanks.

One more question:

(Add) Added Quick Settings widget in Launcher

I cannot see the quick settings on launcher.

How can i enable this? Cannot see in settings.
[Android Auto General] tosonny:
Went back to 2.4, which is working. So the new version must be the problem!
[Android Auto General] BostonDan:
2.5 crashes on my Pixel 3xl when I go into "screen settings".

All other buttons seem to function.

Just for everybody's information.

Cheers,

B.D.
[Android Auto General] Uksus17:
Hi Dear.

Please activate the speedometer and notifications (if u want) in launcher settings. Then make swipe left on the S2A launcher window on HU screen

P.S. Sorry for the Russian screens, it was too lazy to transfer smartphone to another location)))
[Android Auto General] Uksus17:
BostonDan & tosonny, I recommend updating AA to the latest version (5.4). Try full reinstall of S2A with a reconfiguration.
[Android Auto General] Uksus17:
Hi dear!

Unfortunately, there are thousands of devices and firmware. Android is not Apple. Where are the same devices and the same firmware. The author doesn't have a development team. There are not a lot of devices for tests. Don't forget that this program is prohibited by Google. It is very difficult to make the perfect product under such conditions. Over time, we will correct the comments. Sorry.

:angel:
[Android Auto General] tosonny:
No problem as long 2.4 is working :D
[Android Auto General] Uksus17:
For this reason, I returned 2.4 to downloads :o
[Android Auto General] rapdes:
Just installed this for the first time, install went fine, ran the patcher within the app, no problems there and rebooted. However when I try to run it on AA all I get is a black screen nothing else.

I'm running OOS 10.3.3 on a oneplus 7pro, rooted with the latest stable magisk.

Any suggestions on where to start looking to troubleshoot?
[Android Auto General] Asselnik:
[MENTION=1393779]rapdes[/MENTION]

Have you set the screen rotation reset to portrai?

Then you become a blackscreen. Set it to 0, the others dont work.
[Android Auto General] Razer123:
OnePlus 6T updated from V 2.4 to 2.5 and everything works fine for me.

Background image and brightness, Youtube, Netflix, Chrome, Spottify, VLC, etc.

Thanks for the great work! :good:

Only one thing, the Netflix app is known to play in landscape mode, but the app itself is shown in portrait mode.

So on an 8" HU is almost no navigation possible without a magnifying glass. :eek:

I know it is the app itself, but maybe there is a way to fix it, so it's displayed in full width? :confused:
[Android Auto General] Aleister Curiel:
Hello, thank you very much for the application, I am testing version 2.5, I think it is the only version that works for AA 5.3, I only have a small problem, I cannot see Netflix, when I put a video the screen turns black, only the image , the rest remains active, some recommendation to solve it, thanks again.
[Android Auto General] Uksus17:
Screen2Auto upgrade to v2.6!

(Fix) Fixed launcher start (Could not be disabled)

(Add) Fixed quick settings in launcher

(Add) Corrected the view (brought beauty)

(Add) Added invisible zones for switching widgets in launcher (Along the edges)
[Android Auto General] Uksus17:
May be by searching for any permissions that are not granted, I think.
[Android Auto General] Uksus17:
For most users (and for me) everything works. It's hard to find your reason yet. Use auto-rotate for now.
[Android Auto General] Uksus17:
Netflix is a secure application.

In Android there is such a thing as protected layers, anyone can protect their application, or any element, from broadcasting (password entry screen, some banks block).

Look for Netflix info in this thread - https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/...irror-screen-android-auto-disucssion-t3734180
[Android Auto General] Asselnik:
Oh sorry, i thought this is an general error.

[MENTION=1393779]rapdes[/MENTION]

Forget my post :)
[Android Auto General] BostonDan:
I figured it out. If you have the rotation set to "landscape" mode in screen2auto version 2.4 or prior, upon updating to 2.5 or 2.6, screen setting crashes (as it appears that landscape mode was removed as an option). Clearing data from the app under Android settings then allows one to go into screen settings.

I have not tested rotate screen 90degrees in screen2auto version 2.6, but previously this option did not rotate my homescreen on Pixel 3xl with the native Pixel launcher.

Cheers,

B.D.
[Android Auto General] Mastiff:
That sounds interesting!
[Android Auto General] aringler:
My way to downgrade android auto was to install SDMaid, with which you can deinstall android auto as an system app.

After that I was able to install any older version of android auto. Just make sure you have system information about your phone while downloading the apk.
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
Don't you get an update message after you install an older version?
[Android Auto General] aringler:
Just once, after opening android auto.

But there was an cancel button, too.

Just pressed it, and don't get this message again when starting the app now..
[Android Auto General] AbuYahya:
I had Android Auto version 6.1.6 which worked for last 9 months... But stopped working this month and wanted to update.

The current version still not working either after upgrade.

Downgrading to 7.0.6 works but AAextra doesn't work. (Need it to maximise the screen and reduce nav bar to transparent)

So downgraded further to 6.7.6 and AAextra working.

With both 7.0.6 and 6.7.6 I keep getting the "get started" wizard when ever I wire up the phone to the headunit, once I press the "Get started" message on the phone, it then loads on the car headunit, anyway around doing that each time?
[Android Auto General] jmayes1:
I tried the date set-back with 6.6/6.9 and just get a head unit date error red screen, see attach. I tried changing the date in the car too but there seems to be no date support, just time and gps sync which I turned off. Also with the wrong date in the phone none of the web services work either as it breaks the ssl
[Android Auto General] Sjhingan:
Tried to follow your method but apparently Android auto is not installed as a system app on my op3t roooted with Magisk. I uninstalled AA anyway and reinstalled an older version but it's not letting me proceed without updating. Any ideas? Would appreciate any feedback
[Android Auto General] RBwai:
A few weeks ago, the S2A app worked flawlessly. But then the problems started. First, the screen did not automatically rotate from portrait to landscape mode, but then with the AA update, the S2A no longer wanted to work. When I activated S2A on the AA launcher, the screen reset every few seconds, and after some screen resets, the phone automatically reset.

If anyone has a similar experience and has successfully solved it, please indicate how to restore a working system. So far I have all the apps (AAEase, S2A, AA patched with AA AIO Tweaker). Till now I allways successfully bypassed every google attempt to disable video or something similar on the car screen, and now for the first time I find no reason for what is happening.
[Android Auto General] xlouk:
When I update S2A from 3.6.2 to 3.6.3 the app still shows 3.6.2 on an Adroid 10, Note 9 with AAAD and without root. Is that known and fixed?
[Android Auto General] Tomasz_RS:
I had that too. You have to uninstall 3.6.2 and reinstall 3.6.3.
[Android Auto General] tiho5:
I'm wondering:

Do you have to patch S2A with AIO tweaker again after you update S2A?
[Android Auto General] xlouk:
I tried that also to uninstall first, but it gave the same result.

Have you done anything else after uninstalling?

Did you install via AAAD?

I tried also downloading apk and installed it but at the end is says not installed.
[Android Auto General] commhein:
Hi Everyone !

As some of the community members, I am facing difficulties with a non-rooted phone (S22+, Android 12).

The only problem I have is the touch which is not working (screen is well mirrored & sound OK as well).

I haven't read any solution to this problem with a non-rooted phone.

Is it even possible to make it work without root ?

Thanks in advance to everyone for your support.
[Android Auto General] Tomasz_RS:
I did not perform any additional activities. I patched 3.6.3 aa aio tweaker and it works. The phone is xperia xz1 android 9.
[Android Auto General] xlouk:
AA aio tweaker requires root, which I don't have. AAAD installs it to AA. What I am wondering about is, where V3.6.2 comes from when I before update uninstalled it.
[Android Auto General] xlouk:
With app AAEase I could install the update.
[Android Auto General] mackus44:
Is the update to 3.6.3 really necessary?

What are the improvements then?

I keep getting 3.6.2 installed, 3.6.3 not
[Android Auto General] jinx11:
stay on version 3.6.2
[Android Auto General] perindet:
but s2a works on miui 13 no root or are there problems (Touch,blackscreen etc)?
[Android Auto General] Carmtinny:
Hello everyone, If you have s2auto 3.6.2 and use it with android 11 DO NOT update s2auto to 3.6.3 as I did because it no longer works. This latest version (3.6.3) was created to solve problems with android 12 and somehow compromises the functioning with android 11. I have a xiaomi MI10T lite with root, AA 7 before doing damage and as said android 11. Everything was fine well before updating Screen2auto. I did a downgrade of AA to vers 6.3.611314, and reinstalled 3.6.2 of s2auto, after patching with AA AIO Tweaker 3.4 but I didn't fix the problem. When I connect the phone AA asks me to update to 7, which I have already tried to do, but I no longer see Screen2auto on the Android auto screen ... .. does anyone have the solution? Thank you
[Android Auto General] mackus44:
I feared something like this!

The old rule always applies: never change a running system
[Android Auto General] tiho5:
Aren't you using a bit old AA AIO Tweaker? Try with a newer version.
[Android Auto General] Arismfg:
In case you suddenly lose screen2auto from AA:

Open AA AIO tweaker and unparch custom apps.

Reboot

Open AA AIO tweaker and patch custom apps again.

Reboot

Screen2Auto Should be back in AA
[Android Auto General] Carmtinny:
Hi, thanks for your suggestion, I also tried with the vers. 5.0.2 but I still don't see Screen2auto
[Android Auto General] Carmtinny:
Hi, thanks to you too ... I also tried this way, removing the active patches from the programs, restarting Tweaker and then patching screen2auto again. Unfortunately the result is always the same.
[Android Auto General] garapaboy:
Clear Android Auto cache. Then go to playstore delete Android Auto and re-install Android Auto.
[Android Auto General] Arismfg:
Ok try install screen2auto.apk using kinginstaller. Screen2auto will show up on android auto at once and hopefully will stay there for ever. Not sure how this app installs 3rd party apps for AA but they show up on AA. Even screen2auto does not need to be whitelisted within the app itself! And you dont get black screen that you may get even if you see and press the screen2auto on AA. Tried sygic the same way and both work on AA. It does even need rooted phone. If I knew I would never root my phone as I rooted only for screen2auto
[Android Auto General] wal24:
You must be wrong. Root is needed. You cannot get screen2auto AA in a vehicle without root.

I on Realme GT Neo 2 without root cannot get screen2auto in the vehicle.
[Android Auto General] Arismfg:
Hmm, then maybe root is needed for a screen2auto anyway but not for other 3rd party AA apps. But use kinginstaller to install it to have it whitelisted and used in AA for ever
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
I just got a new Pixel 6 Pro(Free, thanks Sprint.)

Unrooted. Installed Screen2Auto using AAEASE.

It works, screen mirrors and sounds works fine, but Touchscreen Not working. Have to control with phone.

Anyone with a Pixel 6 have this working with touchscreen? Will rooting make touchscreen work?
[Android Auto General] Carmtinny:
I tried 3 versions of AA, 6.3.611314, 7.0.614104 and 7.2.620104 and in all of them I activated the developer option and put the flag for "Unknown sources" but I still don't see s2auto. 7.2 does not force me to update the version but notifies me that in the future I will be forced to update.
[Android Auto General] Carmtinny:
Try to activate the "Automatic shutdown of SELinux" function ..... Open Screen2Auto- Other settings- and activate automatic shutdown ....
[Android Auto General] Jinkue:
I have screen2auto 3.6.2 working on wireless AA 7.xxx flawlessly on non rooted samsung note 9. It has worked for last 4 months and have not had to reinstall or clear cache.
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
Thanks, I've tried that.
[Android Auto General] Arismfg:
I am using latest AA 7 5 build. Installed with kinginstaller and screen2auto has not been removed since then. And again did not have to whitelist within the app. Rooted samsung.
[Android Auto General] Berque:
Any download links for first time installing?
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
Try installing AAEASE. Run it, and select to install Screen2Auto.
