I'll posted here also: Those are my app/services with permission to access internet. Everything else are not allowed to access internet. I have voice assistant, and everything needed. Gapps don't have access to internet.

But you need to allow Google app to access internet otherwise you won't have assistant (Google voice recognition).

I figured out how to get both of my phones to work with s2a. 1 is a galaxy s10 not rooted, the 2nd one is a pixel 3 rooted. they worked everytime if I make sure s2a is opened on the phone before plugging in to the car stereo. The pixel touch screen works on the stereo but the s10 is unresponsive on the stereo. So I paired a firestick remote to the s10 and it works great now. Thanks to @gullzway

Anyone having trouble with black screen after opening an app, a workaround for me is opening the app on the phone first. Works for me when having issues
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
Strangely, on my Pixel 6 Pro today I was using an app called Torque to see my truck Voltage. The touch screen continued to work after starting the app in S2A. Not sure why, but it only works using this app.
[Android Auto General] ai5g:
I still can't make it work. AA did not show the s2a icon, the problem that many here have.

I rolled back google play services to 21.24.23 (can't rembermber where this version number comes from) and AA to 7.0.614104 as proposed by jimikoukou in post #1784

I have blocked google and google play store with AFWall+ as recommended by sosimple in post #2378.

Now in AA the s2a icon appears (when I start AA on the phone), but I cannot use it in the car anymore.

Once I attach the phone to the car and select AnrdoidAuto in my head unit, AA starts and immediately asks for an update. I cannot skip this update, and when I start it, it "updates" forever.

Any ideas how I can stop AA from forcing an update?
[Android Auto General] mn1968:
Detach it from the Play Store.

How do I find out what "s2a is renamed" to? I would like to eliminate the cast warning. Thanks in advance.
[Android Auto General] Uksus17:
Check out the previous post. Perhaps the reason for this and you need to reinstall the application.
[Android Auto General] tosonny:
Done and then updated to 2.6. Is working now!

[MENTION=4263401]Uksus17[/MENTION]

The Launcher is very cool!

Is it possible to set LINKS to the Launcher? So i would take tasker-links to the launcher, that would be fantastic.

So now i have test to put the "Tasker Secondary" App to the launcher, but the Secondary App is not shown.
[Android Auto General] jaggyjags:
Great job! Any insight about the possibility to control music playback with sterring wheel media buttons? I can with android auto apps, not with Scree2Auto.

thanks!
[Android Auto General] Uksus17:
Hi! I understand what you mean. But it is very difficult to implement. I'm afraid that is impossible. :(
[Android Auto General] Uksus17:
Hi, dear.

Because, I think, this is not a separate application, but a tasker shortcut (link). Therefore, it is not displayed in the application menu. The possibility will be considered. Thank.
[Android Auto General] Uksus17:
Great. Bingo! :D
[Android Auto General] Asselnik:
Thanks.

So now i have read on V2.6

"(Add) Added invisible zones for switching widgets in launcher (Along the edges)"

Does it mean i can run widgets in the launcher?
[Android Auto General] zencooler:
Dear friend, thanks for the great job and the best mirroring app for AA.

I upgraded your app to latest version (2.6) and updated AA to ver. 5.4 (from ver. 5.1) but I have a problem with unlocking apps to be visible by AA. It seems that Phenotype patcher cannot patch the db :( Everything looks OK, the trigger is added but apps don't appear in AA menu. Even your internal patch option seems to be working but screen2auto doesn't appear.

Is there and change in the new AA of the database structure? How to patch it?

Thanks in advance for help.

Hi

Is it possible to change the wallpaper on the main screen i added the Hulk but is only changed the wallpaper for android auto. Is there a video showing how to do this .

Thanks to advance.

Any solutions to address the touchscreen issue?
[Android Auto General] biggyk:
This is a fanatic application and seems much more polished than the previous ones that were available. Great job!

Few questions. The menu button on the main screen is in russian/ukrainian. How do you change that? Can you change the wallpaper?

I've got the same problem. Hope it can be fixed.
[Android Auto General] Uksus17:
Screen2Auto upgrade to v2.7!

(Add) Make a return to S2A launcher

(Add) Make a widget with a small clock (see hide pic)

(Add) Make manual data entry (For sliders)

(Fix) Fixed saving the background using standard Android methods (another address: /data/user/0/ru.inceptive.screentwoauto/files/background

or /data/data/ru.inceptive.screentwoauto/files/background)

(Fix) Corrected translations
[Android Auto General] Uksus17:
Yes, there were some changes in 5.4. But they are not related to DB. Everything still works. Check that the last item Unknown sources is active in the AA developers settings.
[Android Auto General] annexhack:
I would also look at Google services. Aren't you a beta tester?
[Android Auto General] BostonDan:
I would recommend going into apps and wiping data from 'google play services' (also known as gms). I have had this happen before and it seems there is some trigger that sometimes will not allow the phenotype patching to take hold. Once wiped, reboot and then try unlocking (either with the internal unlock, or phenotype patcher).

Good luck.

Cheers,

B.D.
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
It's not about the app name but its package name. Eg, LP (treated as warez on XDA, hence I'm not writing its full name here, ads a single letter to the end of the package name when renaming)

If not familiar with the concept of package names, please google about

Also google (or maybe even look to the Playstore) for Package Name Viewer/Manager or similar apps that will make you easier to read the package name for any app, incl. the S2A (and specially when its package name was renamed)

I cannot help you further since I stopped using S2A, but 8-9 months ago when I was installing it took me 15 minutes to google and find what was needed
[Android Auto General] brick00444:
I understand everything you said including LP. Thank you should be able to get it now.

I have successfully installed lsposed-zygisk and hidemyapplist ist running, but after klicking "Manage templates" and then "create a blacklist template" and "edit list", all installed apps show up except from Android auto.

(I have basically tried to follw the recommendations from luiscaproducer in post #2011)

How can I detach AA from the play store with lsposed?

AA was installed via Ghost Commander, this is also shown under "App Details" in AAs app info. Maybe this is the reason for not finding it in HMA's app list. The reason for trying this was that I AA asks for an update once I have attached the phone to my car's head unit.
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
Have you enabled Show System apps
[Android Auto General] mn1968:
What version of HideMyApplist are you running? I'm on v1.6.1 and I do not need to create a blacklist. I simply create my template, choose my app(s) to hide (making sure "Show System Apps" is checked), Enable all hide methods, and finally, from Select Effective Apps, I choose Google Play Store, again making sure "Show System Apps" is checked.
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
The latest, "Final" HMA is v2 3.2 (from Jan 2022):

Release V3.2 · Dr-TSNG/Hide-My-Applist

Fix crash on Android 14 Prevent a detection from system service Update translations 修复 Android 14 上闪退 避免一个系统服务的检测 更新翻译

github.com

It takes Create Blacklist Template, then Edit list, etc

Btw, about yours v1.6.1 from Mar 2021 - with which version of Magisk are you running (maybe that's HMA for Riru)?
[Android Auto General] mn1968:
Fair enough. The older version works for me...and since I gave up on s2a myself, it really doesn't matter anymore. I have no other reason to hide any apps from the Play Store.
[Android Auto General] ai5g:
Thank you zgfg, this was indeed my mistake.

Well, it didn't solve the problem though, AA ist still asking for an update once I am connecting the phone to my cars head unit.
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
I gave up from S2A too but I use Fermata and CarTube hence still detaching AA from Playstore (also YT because of Vanced). And hiding some other apps but not from Playstore

Anyway, I'm just curious, your old HMA 1.6.1 was released before Magisk v25. What version of Magisk are you running?

What is your LSPosed module version (maybe Riru-LSPosed)?
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
Do you see AA in Playstore as installed or not?

If Playstore does not show as installed then you have detached. But when you open AA it connects by itself to Google and if that's too old version Google forces to be updated

What's your version of AA?

PS: My AA 7.4.620964 does not ask for update when I connect to Head unit (with the latest Play Services I successfully use Fermata and CarTube)
[Android Auto General] mn1968:
Magisk v 24.3

LSPosesd 1.6.5

No need to update since phone is running well :)
[Android Auto General] Bladinium:
Hello,

I have a galaxy S8+ root Magysk with the Rom Lightrom android 9.

When I launch sc2auto I have nothing happening, Android auto seems to be frozen.

Do you have any idea?
[Android Auto General] sosimple:
Have you try do the update? I don't know if AA works with last update but, i don't think you have any other choice than to update. All those tricks are so AA dont force you to update. But if it does force you, i also haven't find any way to make it work without updating..
[Android Auto General] jbradshw:
So what is his secret? This was made 2 days ago with AA 7.8 on a non-rooted phone:
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
Just updated Android Auto in the playstore to version 7.7.622134-release. Unrooted Pixel 6 Pro and Screen2Auto still working.

Installed months ago using AAEASE.
[Android Auto General] Jinkue:
I am well impressed with the technical knowledge and complexity of posters running s2a on rooted phone but so glad I don't have to do all that to keep s2a. I have used s2a, without reinstalling, for last 8 months on non root Samsung note 9 with wireless AA set up.

Works flawlessly, with sound and audio for most streaming apps non drm protected. Installed s2a with AA Ease on android 9 and AA version 6.6xxx. Upgraded phone software to android 10 and current version of AA is 7.7xxxx. I would suggest that a 'compatible' non root phone is less hassle and much easier than using a rooted phone.
[Android Auto General] BostonDan:
Got the latest Android Auto 7.9.122644 and for S&Gs, I decided to try to install Screen2Auto, and it's stuck for over 48 hours.

Not sure if it was a combination of using AA AIO Tweaker and AA Ease to install it or something else I did.

Cheers,

B.D.
[Android Auto General] tensux:
i have been using it with no problems for months on an unrooted p30 pro on A12, installed using AAEASE... i haven't had luck getting this to work on any rooted phone in the longest time. very strange it will work on the non rooted phone but not a rooted one. i have tried several rooted phones all on A12, no luck.
[Android Auto General] falciatrice10:
How to enable developper mode in the new android auto????

Google removed android auto app from mobile
[Android Auto General] BostonDan:
The program should be on your phone if your in one of the latest releases... It's just embedded in the system now instead of being stand alone.

Go into your phones settings and either do a search for Android Auto, or it may be under Settings->connected devices->Android Auto (at least that's where it is for my pixel 6).

You enter developers mode the same way you did on the Android Auto for mobile app.

Hope this helped.

Cheers,

B.D.
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
Question regarding this. I haven't even enabled developer settings in AA since switching to a pixel 6 pro. I just checked and unknown sources isn't even enabled in there. Is this even necessary anymore? My screen2auto's been working for months.
[Android Auto General] pnsdhrn:
Does this work with Unrooted phones?
[Android Auto General] tensux:
i have had better luck on unrooted phones, use this app to install AAEASE
[Android Auto General] westhaking:
Can anyone provide details on how this works on unrooted phones? Do you just install it and that's all? I've tried it with root and it is a pain. Sometimes it works other times it doesn't but never works after a reboot. Very frustrating. I now have it installed but denied root access yet it still isn't working. Those of you with it working on nonrooted phones. What was the process or steps you took to make it work?
[Android Auto General] tensux:
on my nonrooted phones i installed this app : https://inceptive.ru/projects/aaease

then i downloaded and installed screen2auto from aaease, and followed the normal directions for setting up screen2auto from the instructions in the OP. it has never stopped working. on rooted phones it has become a nightmare
[Android Auto General] westhaking:
But how are you able to follow directions in OP on a nonrooted phone when it states to use AA AIO Tweaker which requires root to function?
[Android Auto General] tensux:
ahhh..haven't scrolled up there in so long. first enable developer options in android auto, allow unknown sources. then install screen2auto from aaease. before opening screen2auto , open its properties and grant it every permission. then open and set up screen2auto giving it all the additional permissions it asks for.

I don't use AA AIO on the non rooted phone, never needed to install it.
[Android Auto General] Jinkue:
Installed the same way ,AA Ease downloaded first and used this to install s2a 3.6.2 version. Works great on wireless AA setup on unrooted samsung note 8 and 9.
[Android Auto General] pnsdhrn:
A lot of thanks uksus 17 for your hard works and enormous help to we fellow subscribers of Android Auto.I downloaded EASUS and installed Screen2Auto, Fermata Auto and Fermata Control.After giving the required permissions to each of them I restarted the phone (Unrooted Samsung Fold2 running on Android 12,4.1 UI,1 June 2022 Security Patch Level and embedded Android Auto Wireless Version 7.7.6221340 release,I restarted the phone, opened each apps in the phone and completed the set up each apps as per instructions in OP 1.Then I connected the phone wirelessly to Android Auto in my Blaupunkt B910 AU San Andreas 970 Car Multimedia System.The connection went smoothly and I could see Screen2Auto and Fermata apps in the screen of Android Auto. I could open and play audio and video in these apks coolly.And I am relieved now from the months long searching in the web.I would like to send you a coffee as my gratitude.So please give me your GPay Number or PayPal link.

Sorry for the mistakes but I'm Italian and I use the translator.

hi everyone, I have two smartphones available to use for mirroring screen, a Realme GT neo 2 and a Samsung S7, following your posts I made several attempts without success with any of the 2, without root permissions. Is there a good guide available? Also because I don't like trying, I would like to understand the logic of the operation. I saw that AA is not possible to downgrade because installing previous versions requires updating to proceed when opening, so some service must be circumvented. then root is mandatory?
[Android Auto General] pnsdhrn:
Please see my post(No.2414).You can do it .
[Android Auto General] Bruce_88:
Thanks "Pnsdhrn", I had already read that post and tried it with the exception of the" EASUS "app which I did not find and I did not understand what it is for and to install S2A I tried with" AAAD ", but in AA I get a 'icon with written all the apps for cars, trying to open it I am shown only apps allowed by AA so no video app.

Where do I find instructions OP 1?
[Android Auto General] bjevers:
It should be AAEase app. You can find it through Google, it's a Russian site. Install S2A with it.
[Android Auto General] Bruce_88:
Before trying "AAAD" I had tried "AAEASE". But I repeat, it seems there is an intervention of some App that blocks the executability, see the photos, the installation seems ok but does not remove the block.
[Android Auto General] smidge710:
So I just installed using AAAD on s21 ultra running android 12.

App asked for several permissions including changing phone settings, access to all files etc. It also asked for permission to control the device, and permission to record when trying to mirror.

Is this all normal?
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
Yes
[Android Auto General] Bruce_88:
I believe the problems are caused by Google Play Service. I'm hacking and trying to manipulate it for now without success.
[Android Auto General] sosimple:
Does anyone here know to read titles? "Only for rooted devices". There is a reason THE DEVELOPER of the app, posting this.

Because one or another make it work in a no rooted device, doesn't mean it will work in every device regardless rom, Android version, etc.

Having installed screen2auto in many many many devices, (more than 50) rooted and no rooted, 99.99% of non rooted have small or big problems. And even if it work, it won't last for long without fixing something. Sooner or later you will root if you still want to use it.

What everyone else posting here, that "in my no rooted device everything works fine", congratulation but it's not a general situation.

You are actually confusing people. Do another thread "screen2auto without root" and post there your instructions.
[Android Auto General] Bruce_88:
so for a definitive and clean solution you need to have root permissions right?

at this point I prepare my Samsung S7 to use it only in the car with Android Auto
[Android Auto General] sosimple:
Rooted s7 is very good choice for screen2auto. Use samsung original rom. The oldest version of android, the better..
[Android Auto General] Jinkue:
I have been using it for 8 months without any issues. Never had to reinstall. The last time you posted the same message most of the posts after your post could not get S2a working and if it does it does not work for long. Naturally some posters will ask the question if s2a works on non rooted phones.
[Android Auto General] sosimple:
Everything workings fine without root? You don't have to press anything in screen every time to have screen2auto boot? Anyway it's good that it's working for you 8 months without root. Just from curiosity, which phone have you got, what android version, original or custom. But even if it's working fine for you, its not the standard..

I had months, i hadn't use screen2auto so i asked some things, to see if something changed. I hadn't any problem to make it work. Actually the problem was with the specific car (opel corsa 2016. Android auto doesn't work at all in this car without upgrading the headunit of the car. I probably im 1% which have make it work without upgrading in this car).
[Android Auto General] PanosT:
Hi, i managed to install s2a via aaease on a Redmi Note 10 pro with no root A12 and it runs the desktop ok. But when i try to run an app (e.g. opera, viber, messages) it just crashes.

I see on phone screen it turns everything in landscape and runs the apps, but car media screen is just black (within AA).

Is there an option mayby i dont know or just another no root problem?

Also i cant find how to grand this recording permission on phone, where is it?
[Android Auto General] pnsdhrn:
Sorry bjevers.Yes it AAEASE App.The autocorrecting of Google Keyboard deceived me.

Thank you.
[Android Auto General] giginogigetto:
On my galaxy s22 ultra all works fine, screen2auto needs to be authorized evrytime you run it. Installed fermata auto end screen2auto with aaease and installed carstream via AAAD, all work fine...and with touchscreen of my auto. (Audroid auto 7.8, and android 12
[Android Auto General] tiho5:

[Android Auto General] Bruce_88:
Do you have any tips or guides for root and installation on S7 Android 8.0?

I think I use magisk what do you say?
[Android Auto General] sosimple:
Magisk is fine. Read the s7 thread how to root. Connect phone with car to be sure AA is working fine. Install screen2auto and give everything it asks. Better use modified version of Screen2auto. All have been written.
[Android Auto General] Bruce_88:
what would be the modified version of screen2auto ??

why is it better?

with magisk do you know a good tutorial?
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
If not something else, asease changes the package name for S2A. It is necessary since Google constantly updates Android Auto with the (black) list of apps that must not be allowed to work

Unlocking BL, potentially installing custom Recovery and even some peculiarities with Magisk are highly dependable of the phone vendor and even model. Therefore, you have to search/read Guides, Q&A etc (posts, threads) on XDA, look for the (sub) forum specific to your phone

Eg, google for:

XDA Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro

and Google will point you to the Redmi K20 Pro subforum on XDA where you can find tons of info specific to that phone

XDA has its own search, but I prefer google

Also, search for

GitHub Magisk

and you will be pointed to the official GitHub page for Magisk - find and read the documentation (Installation, Wiki) there

Search also for XDA Magisk to find a generic thread about Magisk

Etc
[Android Auto General] PanosT:
Finally I made it work.

I didn't realize I must leave the phone screen on, in order to work n the recording permission is asked on the phone when i run s2a on AA.

But still it doesn't work that good...

Major problem the inability of the touchscreen on car's infotainment...

Also I can't figure out how to work this touch ball... Any help on that?
