Did you try my post right above yours.

Installing with AAEASE?
[Android Auto General] sosimple:
I already had installed screen2auto 3.6.2 ,with moded name by me, and was working fine. Will there be any difference if i re install screen2auto from there? It stopped working after forcing me to update android auto..
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
Not sure. I just got a new Pixel 6 pro and it has the latest Android Auto. Used AAEase and installed screen2auto and it's working. Although the touch screen doesn't work, probably cuz I'm not rooted. I just use a fire stick remote instead.

AA version 7.3.620524-release
[Android Auto General] SpiritRC:
I have just installed Screen2Auto using AAAD and it works almost fine with my non-rooted Huawei P30 Pro and Android Auto 7.5.121304 on my KIA Carnival 2021 (KA4), except that I can't control any app with my car's touchscreen (screen2auto launcher is well controlled by the touchscreen though). Is that because of the non-rooted phone or is there a way to fix that w/o rooting?
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
Same for me with my Non rooted Pixel 6 Pro. I just use one of my fire stick remotes, works great.
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
This works great on my rooted Moto Ace 5g with Android 10.

On my new Pixel 6 Pro with Android 12 the video doesn't show, black screen with sound?

Is this a root issue, or Android 12?
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
@gullzway

It's an Android 12 issue.
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
Thanks. That sucks. Good reason to keep the Moto Ace 5G around I guess.
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
The whole Android Auto situation including the driving assistant mode and issues with AAWireless is for me the reason to stay on Android 10.
[Android Auto General] fedele7n [ITA]:
Hi everyone, I have a xiaomi mi9T with root.

I installed Screen2auto 3.6.2 via kinginstaller, i patched the app with AA AIO Tweaker. I have activate the "Automatic shutdown of SELinux" function, but s2a is not displayed on board!

With the old version of Android auto everything worked fine :(
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
All I can add is Have you tried installing Screen2Auto with AAEASE?
[Android Auto General] Logicpro8:
I used AAEASE, all apps show on the AA screen on the car, but when you go into the apps, "No new messages during this drive" is shown. That is with Android Auto 7.5.121304 beta. Downgrading to AA 6.x triggers a forced AA update to 7+... We need either a patch to stop the No new messages during this drive msg or some way to stop Google forced AA update from version 6 to 7. I tried with a Firewall on Android but the force update still happens, think its being done by play services. Anyone any ideas?
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
I'm using Android Auto version 7.3.620524-release

Screen 2 Auto working.
[Android Auto General] sosimple:
I, now use a firewall to everything in android auto, except a few apps i need internet (youtube vanced, iptv, radios). I use firewall with play services also. I give internet only to Google voice, from all Google app/services. Future with tell if it force me to update, but i believe it will..

When it forces me to update i tried many things:

-restore in titanium data of play services, AA, etc.-- didn't work.

- same but also turn clock back 1 year -- It worked, so there is a kind of time bomb somewhere i believe.

The thing is, but turning clock at past, many apps doesn't work correctly, so it's not a solution.

At the end, i surrended, i updated AA.

I have reinstall everything probably 100 times over the years.. It's very frustrating what Google is doing. In the end we all stop trying.

The only, lasting, possible solution will be if/when microg (open Google services) support AA. It already works to some phones i think, but with problems..
[Android Auto General] Logicpro8:
Thanks for replying, yes, it is annoying. I only see the no new msgs screen now for all injected apps, regardless of the Android Auto version. No firewall seems to stop the forced updates. So you have to use a more recent AA 7 version....

I see https://xdaforums.com/t/android-7-0-appradio-unchained-rootless.3590549/page-39 is starting up again. Bypassing AA altogether. might be a good project, but for now, it's kind of hard to figure out the forced AA update and how to bypass it, it verges on illegal Google forcing updates on everyone.

has anyone managed to bypass this as yet?
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
I also tried everything to block the Google Play Services updates. I was not successful in the end.

Some days after release the update is being installed (even though everything is blocked by a firewall).

I don't know what to do.

Especially with every update I have new issues with other apps, like a non working Assistant or Maps not showing maps and so on.
[Android Auto General] wiko59:
hello,

To solve the problem in addition to the firwall, I deactivated "Google Play Store" (after a clear cache) and reinstalled Android Auto 7.3.6 and since no more problem of update.
[Android Auto General] domi1066:
I thought the solution for me was to upgrade to android auto 7.5 but no.

But it seems that it was when i flash via recovery an old NikGapps Android Auto addon.(before the way to try lineage OS...)

for me:

After i unlock via screen2auto unlocker, it come back and is still there after several days,and connections and reboots.

For me firewall give an error while connecting to headunit.
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
Can you please explain how you deactivated the Play Store?
[Android Auto General] sosimple:
Very interesting this.. I didn't know.. Thanks. Which rom do you run, what version of android, and which phone?

Can you test if with this version of Google services Google voice working? ( if by speaking it writes, not in android auto specifically but at least in notepad for example).

Hello,

"Can you please explain how you deactivated the Play Store?"

several software allow it, TitaniumBackup, OAndBackupX, Alpha BacKup ......

I don't 'deactivate' bcs I need it, but detach AA from Playstore (it doesn't see it as installed, hence does not attempt to update)

The method (root required) by using LSPosed + Hide My Applist was described here sometime in Nov or Dec - you should scroll back and find

I suppose you used lineage rom, or some rom without Google play services? I'm trying to do the same to galaxy note 8, but only lineage custom rom doesn't include gapps.. It's not the best rom.. I suppose there isn't a way to Uninstall gapps from original based roms..
[Android Auto General] domi1066:
I didn't uninstall anything.

AIO TWEAKER, what exactly is needed? I see screen2auto and the other apps inside android auto, without it..
[Android Auto General] XlAfbk:
Did anyone test AA 7.5 yet? Results?
[Android Auto General] sosimple:
I now use firewall AFWall+ which using root to completely cut internet from everything in phone. I give internet only to apps i want (vanced, iptv, internet radio etc). From Google, i only give internet to Google app to have voice recognition working. Playstore doesn't have internet, but also i freeze it in titanium. . Let's see if mirroring will stop again in the future by forcing to update android auto.. Google play services doesn't have internet..

Let's see..

I don't know if anyone had the above scenario, what happened months after..
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
Anyone with a Pixel 6/Pro or Oneplus 9 have S2A working with touchscreen controls??

I recently got both phones, neither are rooted. Installed S2A using AAEASE no problem and mirroring works, but no touchscreen response. I have to use a firestick remote to control apps casting to the headunit.

I've tried all the settings. Wondering if rooting either phone will enable touchscreen controls?
[Android Auto General] sosimple:
No phone working touch without root. You are lucky working as it works. By enabling root you'll have touch.
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
Thanks.
[Android Auto General] RKCRLR:
S2A on my unrooted Verizon Galaxy S7 is working with my car's touchscreen without root (I wish I could root the phone).

Try the different touch options in S2A to see if they make a difference. I had to change mine to make the touchscreen work properly. Not perfect, goes into "hyperdrive".

today screen2auto is gone for me.

Booooh!!!!:cry::cry::cry:

It's a never-ending story...

Here is my tested "working solution" from ScreenToAuto:

(I have a Xiaomi MI10T lite with Root)

AAuto 7.4.620964 (but I think any version would be fine considering what I wrote below)

AAEase 0.4 (although designed for unrooted phones, it did its job with my rooted one)

Screen2Auto 3.6.3

-PS I did not patch s2A with AA Aio Tweacher (not used/not installed);

-s2A installed via AAEase which evidently reads the "modified" s2a package

-I still removed the automatic installation for Google Play updates

and... magically it works!!!

**********************************

Ecco la mia "soluzione funzionante" testata di ScreenToAuto:

(Premetto che ho uno Xiaomi MI10T lite con Root)

AAuto 7.4.620964 (ma penso che qualsiasi versione potrebbe andare bene tenendo conto di quanto scritto in seguito)

AAEase 0.4 (sebbene progettato per telefoni senza root, ha fatto il suo lavoro con il mio rooted)

Screen2Auto 3.6.3

-PS Non ho patchato s2A con AA Aio Tweacher (non utilizzato/non installato);

-s2A installato tramite AAEase che legge evidentemente il pacchetto “modificato” di s2a

-Ho comunque rimosso l'installazione automatica per gli aggiornamenti di Google Play

e… magicamente funziona!!:cowboy:
[Android Auto General] tiho5:
Which version of Android?
[Android Auto General] Carmtinny:
Android vers 11
[Android Auto General] Gargyris:
Hello everyone,

I just installed Screen2auto (version 3.6.3) on my phone (unrooted Samsung S20 FE 5G Snapdragon with Android 12 and Android Auto version 7.4.620964-release) and although it loads normally on my car's Android Auto, the touch functionality does not work on the car screen even if it works normally on my phone and the mirroring is cast on the car screen without problems.

The reason that I would like to use Screen2auto in my car is mainly in order to bypass the 'stupid' Google Assistant that is now integrated with Android Auto and to mainly be able to use google maps and Youtube Music in my native language (Greek), which is not supported by Google Assistant.

Do you perhaps have a solution to the lack of touchscreen functionality? Is root necessary for this to work?

Thanks a lot!

Georgios
[Android Auto General] BostonDan:
S2A requires root for touchscreen functionality.

Cheers,

B.D.
[Android Auto General] Gargyris:
Thanks a lot for the info!!

I suppose it is not so easy anymore to root the phone as it was in the past with 1-click, right?:(
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
You need

You need to unlock Bootloader (how-to depends on your device)

Then there are couple of ways to install Magisk - best, search on XDA for the thread about Magisk Zygisk, and read the OP posts 1-9 and post 14:

https://xdaforums.com/t/discussion-magisk-the-age-of-zygisk.4393877/

Depending on the apps you use you will have to hide that Bootloader is locked, hide Magisk (SafelyNet and 'banking' apps finding 'root')

Not straightforward/easy but still possible
[Android Auto General] BostonDan:
Unfortunately, Samsung makes this pretty difficult. If the phone is carrier based, that could also make it difficult.

It took me a few years before my Samsung Note II was rootable and I vowed never to buy another Samsung because of it.

Cheers,

B.D.
[Android Auto General] sosimple:
I'm Greek also. You won't solve this problem if you root phone and make touch work, at least in android auto. If you run sygic inside mirroring, if i remember correctly, you can use voice there. But not for maps / waze.

I have solve the problem, and using everywhere Greek, or any other language, by using Tasker. By switching keyboard, to google voice when starting android auto, and revert back to keyboard, when android auto goes off. This is the idea. But i have spent many hours to create the script (working only rooted), and i won't publish it for now. Maybe some time in the future i open a thread here explaining how.
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
Ok, so I found AAEase v0.4 on inceptive.ru:

Screen2Auto - Программа позволяет дублировать экран смартфона и управлять им из Android Auto.. Вы можете запускать любые приложения для удобства управления автомобилем.

Лучшая программа для зеркаливания экрана смартфона на ГУ. Более 1 000 000 скачивания. Постоянно развиваемся.

inceptive.ru

I see/understand now that there is no need to manually download Screen2Auto (also from inceptive.ru) - since AAEase offers by itself to download/install both Screen2Auto and Fermata

Screenshots attached

I also installed CarTube by using AAStore:

Currently I have the latest Android Auto but I have detached AA from Google Play by use of Hide My Apps (HMA, LSPosed module), to prevent further updates:

https://xdaforums.com/t/root-only-a...te-android-auto-utility.4194239/post-86119983

Also, to prevent Phenotype changes in background by Android Auto, I executed the shell script aa_block_3rdapp_hack.sh from @sebi3481:

https://xdaforums.com/t/root-only-a...te-android-auto-utility.4194239/post-86091595

Everything works fine except a minor issue that apps opened from Screen2Auto do not close on disconnecting from Android Auto (I'm pretty sure that it worked on my older phone) although Close apps when S2A exiting is enabled in S2A

I have an unrooted Galaxy S7 and have touchscreen functionality. I had to switch to one of the alternate touchscreen options in the S2A settings.
[Android Auto General] xlouk:
Don't thank him, because it is not true. On my Samsung Note 9 I can use S2A and operate the apps via touch of the car media system without root.

You need some settings in S2A.

Go to "Other settings" and enable "Alternative touch" and try the profiles. For me Profile 3 worked best. Also enable "Automatic shutdown of SELinux". Touch will then be usable.
[Android Auto General] xlouk:
On my Samsung Note 9 I can use S2A without root. When I connect it to the USB port of the car, I need to confirm 2 times, that AA may connect to the phone. Is it possible to to automate that?

More troublesome is that mirroing is sometimes lost (screen stays black although touch on the darc screen reacts), when I switch between apps or the cars AA launcher and then replugging USB can be required. This can happen also on fist connection. Is a solution for that known?
[Android Auto General] sosimple:
You could try tasker. But you need good knowledge to do that. Without root you will never use mirroring well.. That is the simple truth. And biggest problem, you will loose mirroring very often and always be in a situation needing to resolve things.. I used it without root at past. I'll never try it again.
[Android Auto General] Jinkue:
I have an unrooted samsung Note 9 and wireless setup with a AA/carplay smartbox that piggbacks of my peugeot headunit. I downloaded S2A 3.6.2 with AA Ease and wireless mirroring works great for me. Can watch youtube, bbc iplayer and other media and works very well. It does time out on occasion especially on long journeys but I am satisfied with it and will not be upgrading S2A 3.6.2 to 3.6.3. Xlouk issues are probably phone to headunit compatibilty /interaction issues.​
[Android Auto General] tensux:
one instruction that i have never figured out during the install of screen2auto. When setting up permissions it states "And also give permission to capture the screen. Can someone tell me where/how this is done?

Hi

I am using wireless AA/S2A 3.6.2 on non rooted samsung note 9. Under Setting Launcher I have the 'Permanent panel' option selected so that other apps are displayed in menu while a particular app is in use. On my car touchscreen this option allows me to select another app while other one the other one is playing. It allows me to open that app and the first app will stop playing but it is open in the background and I do not have to restart the app.
[Android Auto General] Lmw28ifsc:
Sounds like S2A can work on a nonrooted phone so I've installed an older version of AA and then installed S2A from AAAD. I've turned off auto updates for AA but the only way I could continue was to update. I get into the app fine but Netflix and other streaming apps still show black screen with sound. Am I missing something? I've seen posts saying it works on nonrooted phones. I have a Samsung S20 Ultra on Android 11. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
Using it on my unrooted Pixel 6 Pro. Latest Version of AA from the Playstore and used AAEASE to install Screen2Auto. Did Not have to reinstall Screen2Auto after last Playstore Android Auto Update.

Touchscreen does NOT work after I launch an app, solved this by using a Firestick remote.

That said, apps with DRM like Netflix/Hulu/HBO Max, etc... do not mirror due to Android blocking DRM video mirroring. Especially on Android 11/12. Netflix DOES work on my Rooted Moto Ace 5g with Android 10, but only Netflix version 7.99.0(build 14 35427). Hulu/HBO Max/ other DRM apps just black screen even on the MoTo.

I'd try CinemaHD, FilmPlus, or IPTV apps for TV and Movies. No DRM.
[Android Auto General] Lmw28ifsc:
Thanks for the suggestion. Mainly I wanted to just make Netflix and others work but I'll try those others.
