With above by-passes applied,

all 3th party apps I've tried, including Screen2Auto / OsmAnd,

work on my Android 13 / LineageOS 20 / MicroG device.

I've updated Android Auto to the latest stable (v9.2.631214) as well today.

If it still doesn't work, then either you have:

- The real Google Play Services (I do not use that spyware, nor do I test w that spyware, so it could be that another bypass is needed for GApps)

- Done something wrong while applying the bypasses, make sure to re-read the readme's to the letter
[Android Auto General] badabing2003:
Just like @zgfg I have s2a working by just by 1 and 4 and nothing else.

On real Google Play services.
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
Yeah. Actually I made it (as described in the post #2923) thanks to your help and instructions, and later repeated from scratch on my older phone with A11, also with AA v9.1 but with the CoolWalk enabled

Both are Xiaomi phones (they used to be tricky). I didn't update AA to v9.3 but even eg the CoolWalk should not be a problem

And with GApps (freely updating always to the latest)
[Android Auto General] rodomb:
Is Pixel Flasher not only for Pixel phones?? Is working on your xiaomi phone?
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
Right question

That option Install APK apparently works on all phones. Just choose the Install as Market app

The developer himself asked me to try installing by PF on my phone

I don't remember if root was required/granted. But yes, my Xiaomi is rooted (Magisk v26001)
[Android Auto General] badabing2003:
To install an app, root is not required (market or not)

However if the app you're installing requires root to run, then obviously it won't run.

And yes the package manger features work for any phone.

Hello friends,

I have a Galaxy A5 2017 reserved for the car and AA.

Until last year everything worked great with S2A v.3.1, but since this year nothing .

On this smartphone is Android 8.0 .

It is rooted and has magisk 20.4 (or 23 I do not know)

Is there any possibility to make S2A work again (I can remove the root it does not bother me).

Can anyone make S2A work with a8.0?

Thank you in advance for your answer.

Sincerely

[Android Auto General] rodomb:
When I changed screen2auto.apk using MT Manager according to your instruction then apk still is recognized as Screen2auto and after installing do not open
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
The app_name (e.g "Screen2Auto") can remain unchanged,

the package name (e.g. "ru.cvitnepei.neatruwtosceo" or "ru.inceptive.screentwoauto") has to be changed

Only 1 string value has to be altered.
[Android Auto General] Bladinium:
how to fix it :

i need full screen :(
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
Search/read about CoolWalk
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
Try disabling all navigation apps in the AA launcher + freeze Maps with Hail.
[Android Auto General] vEnEr95:
I don't know how but now screen2auto appears in AA settings but as soon as I connect to the car I have the same problem as you communication error 22 I don't understand "it was my fault (AA Stub was [partially] debloated)"
[Android Auto General] Bladinium:
hello, i have no possibility for disabling maps
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
You can freeze Maps through Hail:

https://github.com/aistra0528/Hail/blob/master/README_EN.md

These instructions were written out for AVDs / emulators,

but the Hail section is relevant to your question:

https://github.com/Rikj000/Android-Auto-Ultimate-Dev-Unit#8-installation---hail
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
If I recall correctly, Communication error 22 was that Android Auto (Stub) app had to be pre-installed as a stock/system app to your phone/ROM

(My fault was that I had the AA Stub debloated. Once I un-debloated, Comm error 22 was gone. Later I successfully updated AA to v9.1, installed S2A and Fermata...)

PS: See:

Thread '[GSI] Fix 'Communication error 22' on Android Auto' https://xdaforums.com/t/gsi-fix-communication-error-22-on-android-auto.4456645/
[Android Auto General] vEnEr95:
Thank you I have just done all the manipulation with success except that AA is still not a system app I will try anyway to plug it into the car but I don't really believe it
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
Are you perhaps on MicroG?

Either way, look into aa4mg to install the AA stub in your system partition:

https://github.com/sn-00-x/aa4mg

I released a pre-release build of aa4mg earlier today, you can find it here, on my fork of the project:

https://github.com/Rikj000/AndroidAuto4MicroG/releases

Make sure to check the v0.5.0 + v0.5.1 changelog + read the readme corresponding to the version you install (fork pre-release / official release)

Still waiting on @sn00x to merge my changes, you can monitor that here:

https://github.com/sn-00-x/aa4mg/pull/10
[Android Auto General] vEnEr95:
yes I'm on microG and AA has become a system app after a restart but when I plug into the car I no longer have the communication error 22 but AA does not start on the car I'm not going to give up yet but I'm I'm running out of ideas thank you I'll see your links later I have to be away for a few hours
[Android Auto General] Maasasdsadsad:
When I connect an external hard drive to the car I see the movies but the audio is not heard... do you know why?
[Android Auto General] Bladinium:
I do have the grey app on android, but it seems to launch anyway with aa.

It's not possible to have like before ? the coolwalk but Sc2A in full screen ?

Even if I put an old version of aa?

I've tried to deactivate the coolwalk etc. with AAo, but it's still not working :(
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
I have it like that.

On the latest 9.1 version.

With CoolWalk enabled.

How did you disable Maps?

With Hail as suggested earlier?

If you don't care about Maps,

then you can use my aa4mg fork's pre-release to replace it with an empty stub .apk

But I'd backup the original '/product/app/Maps' folder first,

so you can revert back in case it doesn't work out.
[Android Auto General] vEnEr95:
thank you very much it was this little aa4mg module from magisk that I was missing now it works
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
Try opening an app like Spotify and playing music, then switch back to whatever app you're trying to play the movie with.

I have to do this sometimes on IPTV players to get audio to work. Strangely, if I try another app like tidal music, the audio works but then stops shortly after.
[Android Auto General] Maasasdsadsad:
I have connected androidauto by bluetooth, cover external hard drive to the mobile and add the folders to fermata auto... and solved....
[Android Auto General] Maasasdsadsad:
is there any way to watch netflix on the car screen.???i can watch amazon prime movies...but netflix not...
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
AFAIK not, it's about DRM protection. Try some Netflix experimental options in S2A (did not work for me)
[Android Auto General] Maasasdsadsad:
Install the S2a app. The app clones the phone screen. It works very efficiently.

netflix?
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
DRM protection

Try some settings for Netflix in S2A, but they never worked for me
[Android Auto General] carper84:
This is the unique way to have S2A working on Android 13 and last version of AA. This post should be put in evidence.

Thank you for your effort.

Ps: do you know if there is a way to have youtube Vanced among the app directly available in AA? I have only Vanced music.

Thank you
[Android Auto General] vEnEr95:
I am pleasantly surprised to have been able to install S2A (modified with MT manager and kinginstaller 1.3) on my non-rooted xiaomi mi 10 (android 12) while it is impossible on my galaxy A5 (android 8)
[Android Auto General] Maasasdsadsad:
I have Yotube music installed...it appears on my car's screen but when I'm inside nothing appears...neither does my music library...do you know why?
[Android Auto General] vEnEr95:
I don't have youtube music but I have Cartube that I downloaded from AAstore which is very well optimized for the car screen on AA
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
I have ReVanced YT Music and it works on AA for me
[Android Auto General] Maasasdsadsad:

[Android Auto General] the gladiator:
I'm desperately trying to fulfill points 1, 2 and 5 without result so far. I'm more than sure that the unsuccess is due to what AA-AIO-Tweaker has left behind after having used it and then unistalled.

Therefore my question is: how can I return to the state in which I was before having used AA-AIO-Tweaker ? F.Y.I. I'm rooted
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
AA-AIO-Tweaker => Triple dot icon (top right) => Revert everything => Reboot

If above doesn't work, then please explain your setup further:

- MicroG device or not?

- aa4mg or not?

- If used, which aa4mg version(s) did you use?
[Android Auto General] the gladiator:
F.Y.I. s2a has been updated, version 3.7 is out. The problem now is that I go though the process of changing the name if I want to test it
[Android Auto General] egandt:
5. Apps (for now only Screen2Auto to my knowledge) need their internal package name changed to something different,

you can use MT Manager for this: https://mt2.cn/download/

I tried to perform this with ApkStudio, but I get an invalid package upon attempting install. The link for Mt Manager is bad, is there another one?, all I find are sketchy at best .
[Android Auto General] the gladiator:
Have you tried to submit the apk to virustotal? It's better you don't!
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
As mentioned here on Reddit,

that site is the official place to get MT-Manager?

The 1st blue link on that page is the download link for the .apk.
[Android Auto General] thivamero:
Can anyone make S2A work with android 8.0 ?
[Android Auto General] the gladiator:
I'm on android 8.0 and I'm close to the win even if...I'm about to give up. The big issue is that I messed around too much and the culprit of my unsuccess is something that some app that I installed and then uninstalled left behind. @Rikj000 gave me some hint but it was too late.

My strong suggestion to you is to follow @Rikj000 rules: after having tried many other paths I followed points 1, 2 and 5 on a smartphone, unfortunately not mine (with android 9.0), and everything worked out of the box; I'm now trying to replicate the procedure on my smartphone.
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
Good luck @the gladiator!

Hope you'll get it working.

You can check the aa4mg repo for inspiration, however it only supports Android 11-13.
[Android Auto General] Gnud:
5. Apps (as far as I know only Screen2Auto for now) need to change their internal package name,

You can use MT Manager for this: https://mt2.cn/download/

I do this exactly as described, when I try to install the package I get the message "An error occurred while parsing the package". I do not know what I'm doing wrong.
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
I had S2A v3 6.4 and everything worked fine

Installed v3.7 (repackaged and did everything as previously)

When I opened S2A in AA, it asked me do I want to start casting - previous versions never asked, IMO asking that is completely pointless (why otherwise would anyone installing S2A) and it can potentially distract the driver

Anyway, I confirmed but whichever app I opened, the app showed only on the phone, not on the head unit

And when I disconnected, screen rotation was locked (I checked later in S2A, I didn't set anything like that)

I uninstalled v3 7 and installed again, still no use

Then I uninstalled v3.7 and installed back the good old S2A v3.6.4 and everything works fine as expected (no pop-up question about casting, apps work on the head-unit, screen orientation is not locked upon disconnecting)
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
FYI:

Been running S2A 3.7.0 without any issues since the day it came out.

While regularly updating AA,

currently @ 9.2.631214.

Simply followed the same steps again,

which also worked for S2A 3.6.4.
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
I correctly installed both v3.6.4 and v3.7

Anyway, I will no more waste/spend time to repeat everything to prepare and set-up new S2A and retest in the car, having v3.6.4 that works fine and don't know what else/better should be coming with V3 7 (if it would work as v3.6.4 does)

Assistant voice problem

Hi. Today I was testing the new version and it is a great job. I have only found a problem that did not happen before.

The problem is: when google maps is open and we use the voice commands, to search for an address, the voice of google (assistant) says that "the result cannot be found", but immediately afterwards, the voice of goole says " showing results "and correctly displays the desired address.

It seems that the first voice is transmitted by the cell phone and the second is from the HU, since the first voice has a slight noise and the second voice is you with more fidelity and less noise.

I hope you understand my English, otherwise let me know and try to show the problem in another way.

Thank you

Alexander

Hi! Congratulations for this super APP.

Some doubts:

1. For those who have Android 10:

You are using the native Android Auto that comes with Android 10 or you have installed the APP? (I have nstalled the APP)

2. Screen2auto: how to configure the Touch button to go back to the launcher? I tried all options, but allways go to the mais Screen of Android.

Note: Xiaomi Mi9 + Miui12 + Magisk

Kind regards, P.A
[Android Auto General] Nepo_CZ:
Hi, let me just say that I love this app and it generally works like a charm, so thanks for that. Still, I would really like to make it possible to turn the phone screen off during mirroring, as there is no need for it to be on in most cases. I know that setting brightness to 0 kind of works, but its not perfect. Turning off the screen completely is possible in another mirroring app called scrcpy (mirroring to PC), so I think it might be possible to achieve even in S2A. Below is a "link" to the implementation used by scrcpy (I am untouched by coding, so dont really understand what it does on the phone side, but it works). Maybe someone more knowledgeable can have a look at it and comment if it would be feasible to implement something similar for S2A?

link: sorry, cant post links, so please search for scrcpy on Github.

The implementation is done as part of commit 12a3bb25d39037931f577dc0165b3e517aad92df

Thanks and keep up the great work,

N.

[Android Auto General] Hafting:
Is there some documentation for s2a, other than wading through 150 pages of posts here? (And no, I cannot read russian or other cyrillic stuff.)

I have a xiaomi mi 9, with android 10. Tried android auto in the car, but then the phone wanted google maps. I don't want google maps, because I have better maps. Google maps is uninstalled. So, I attempted s2a then.

The phone is already unlocked and rooted with magisk for other reasons. (Mostly freedom, and getting rid of apps like facebook, google maps, xiaomi gunk, ...) So I downloaded s2a 3.6.4, and installed it using adb. Ran it, and gave it every permission it asked for. For some reason, it rebooted the phone at some point.

New attempt in the car. The phone still wanted google maps :-(. But ok, I can have this installed, but not use it. Allowed google maps, started AA from the car menu, and got plain android auto with google maps. No s2a launcher with ability to run other apps. I can start the s2a app on the phone, it does not complain of anything, but all it does is to bring up its own settings. And it sometimes opens a russian webpage that seems to inform me of version 3.7. (All this on the phone, not the car display.)

So I am stuck, for a lack of readable docs. Do I need another app, or a few settings. Or is it a larger project, comparable to making openldap do useful work?
[Android Auto General] the gladiator:
I can easily understand your disappointment but yes: I only found "documentation" in these 150 pages but, if you want an "executive summary", have a look to the @Rikj000 Bible here . The "only" part left uncovered is the s2a settings. Good luck!
[Android Auto General] Bladinium:
Hello, I'm not certain but Google Maps may be mandatory for Android Auto to function. However, I saw a solution on Xda to freeze Google Maps.

With SC2AA, you can use any application that is compatible with your phone! It's a mirror of your smartphone.

To install it, I use AAAD which allows for a two-click installation and is well recognized by Android Auto. Then, in Android Auto, you will have a Screen2auto icon that will show you a quick launch launcher for your favorite applications. Otherwise, at the bottom left (or right depending on the country , you have an "application" icon with a list of all the apps on your phone, and all you have to do is click on it.;)

Edit: Screen2auto only works in the car, when you launch the app on your phone, it's just the settings. Like Android Auto, the interface is on the car :)

[Android Auto General] gullzway:
I don't know what vmos is.

However, if your on Android 10, Netflix version 7.99.0 build 14 35427 works with Screen2Auto.

Otherwise I don't think so, as newer Android versions block the DRM mirroring. Doesn't work on my Pixel 6 Pro on Android 12.

Rooted Pixel 7 on android 13 running latest S2A, has anyone had issues trying to launch apps and S2A crashing when launching the app and the launched app gets closed out as well?

I have to launch a specific app that won't crash and then send it to the background in order for the screen mirroring to work which is really annoying and defeats the purpose of having the launcher and dashboard.

Hoping someone might have a solution to this issue.
