Are you able to mirror streaming apps like Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, etc?
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
Please check what has been discussed (maybe here or in other similar threads)

You cannot mirror Netflix because of DRM.

But people say that mirroring works with an older (and particularly that one) version of Netflix

Hi guys, are there any new solutions to install screen2auto and be able to view it on AA?

(Rooted phone)
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
This one works just fine. What are you having trouble with? Install using aaease.

[Android Auto General] fedele7n [ITA]:
before the latest AA updates it worked fine, with patches by aio tweaker. Not now.

If I install from AAease, don't I have to patch with AIO Tweaker?
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
No. I installed AAEASE on my unrooted Pixel 6 Pro. Then install Screen2Auto from AAEASE. That's it. I'm on the latest Android Auto from the Playstore.
[Android Auto General] tiho5:
Which Android version?

Are you saying that you didn't use AIO Tweaker?
[Android Auto General] traversone:
starting from version 3.6.3, very often S2A changes the DPI of my Samsung S8 once started. Has that happened to someone else? I would say DPI: 420 --> 380
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
Android 12. No AIO Tweaker.
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
Fyi. I have updated Android Auto via the Playstore on both my unrooted Pixel 6 Pro and rooted Moto Ace 5g.

I did NOT have to reinstall Screen2Auto or any tweaks for it to still work.
[Android Auto General] ai5g:
I have followed the instructions in post 1, but didn't see the option for activation of "third-party applications" in the AA AIO Tweaker. Not beeing sure how to do this, I have selected the s2a app in the AA AIO Tweaker and clicked an "patch ...", then restarted the phone.

Android Auto doesn't show the screen2auto app, and I cannot add it in the AA settings, because this app isn't shown there.

Running rooted android 12.1 an xiaomi mi 9 with crDroid 8.4, the AA unit is a Volkswagen device.
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
Have you tried installing screen to auto using AAEASE from the developer.

hello, on Redmi note 6 pro i have latency with touchscreen. it's possibily for resolve this ?

Or not, whats best phone for full comptability with screen2auto ?
[Android Auto General] pdario:
Hello,ni can't use S2A with my (updated) Galaxy S20. S2A starts, I can launch apps but then they become unresponsive to touch operations. Only the floating button works. I tried all the 3 alternative touch config. My phone is not rooted, I installed using AAAD and gave all permissions.

Can anybody help?
[Android Auto General] Bladinium:
After several hours, it doesn't work properly on MIUI12. The touch of the screen does not work properly. it tends to want to restart the application I think?

Any other alternative? or can someone tell me the brand and model of a phone that works without problems?
[Android Auto General] sosimple:
If you are not rooted, don't ask for solutions, or post problems. It has been posted 1000 times that the app needs root. If it works "good enough" for you without root, congratulations but it won't work for all, and not 100% full working.

The best conditions to implement screen2auto is ORIGINAL (full gapps) rom. Not custom rom. You can heavily debloat the original rom after you have a working screen2auto. Customs roms have problems.

Samsung phones are probably among the most compatible. Xiaomi not so much. Best android version 7,8,9,10. Probably the older Android version, the better. If you have a phone with fast cpu mirroring may be very fast, almost like it works internally. But it also has to do with car system also. If this is slow, you can't do anything.

I use samsung galaxy note 8 (broken screen, i can't use it elsewhere) and opel corsa. It works very fast. I forget it is mirroring. I use android 10, original rom HEAVELLY debloated. 80% of android frozen.

Some video in my system to know what to expect about speed , and some ideas (i also post some older versions of AA i had at past) :
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
Use a Firestick Remote. That's what I do on my Pixel 6 Pro(non rooted.)
[Android Auto General] Erni1983:
Hello

I have such a problem that after connecting the tablet to the car and starting Screen2auto, it does not fill the entire screen in the car. When I plug in the phone, the whole screen is displayed. Devices are not rooted and settings in both are the same.

Someone will help me, how can I do that after connecting the tablet to the car to fill the whole screen for me?

Regards
[Android Auto General] sosimple:
Have you check the option in screen settings in screen2auto, stress to screen (or something like this)?

If you do and it doesn't go to full screen, the it is because you don't have root.
[Android Auto General] ai5g:
Sorry gullzway, I have to apologize. I have now tried uninstalling s2a MANUALLY, and then I have used the AAEASE installer to install s2a. Now it seems to work, I can choose this app in the AA launcher and I can see my cells screen.

In summary, your idea worked.
[Android Auto General] giginogigetto:
did you untick Automatic shutdown of SELinux?, i have unticked it and all works fine with option 2 in alternativa touch. Mine is a Galaxy s22 ultra unrooted.
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
Yes, that is unchecked.

Edit: I just tried again today after unchecking and checking S2A in assistive settings. It's working.

I'll have to get used to the touch delay and having to double click.

I'll probably just continue to use the fire stick remote. It works much better.
[Android Auto General] ai5g:
This is odd now. s2a worked for a day, now it again disappeared from the launcher and I cannot select it anymore, as after my first installation...
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
Android Auto updates in the background. Even if AA does not update to the newer version it still updates its settings

It's been discussed a loooot in this and the other similar threads.- also, about the solutions (root required)
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
How did you install it? If you're not renaming it in the system folder, or using AAEASE to install then Google will block it in less than a day.
[Android Auto General] drorcun:
hi, when i set screen brightness to zero, screen brightness is not changing, but if i set to 1 screen brightness is lowering, so i cant set screen brightness to zero, is there any advice please? (Android 12, cherish rom, magisk rooted)
[Android Auto General] ai5g:
I have completely uninstalled it and then installed it using AAEASE. It then worked once and the next day it disappeared. I thought that installing w. AAEASE ist the solution.
[Android Auto General] ai5g:
Now I tried unisntalling and reinstalling with AAEASE again, using new AAEASE 0.5. I could install AAEASE, but It doesn't install s2a. S2a is downloaded by AAEASE, installation starts, but it never finishes.
[Android Auto General] tiho5:
Allow install unknown apps for AAEASE
[Android Auto General] ai5g:
I have granted the right to install unknown apps already.
[Android Auto General] lucky31:

Not sure, haven't used v.5

Have you tried using AAEASE v.4 again?
[Android Auto General] ai5g:
Same as before:

0.4 installs s2a, but I cannot select it in AA

0.5 downloads and starts installing, but doesn'' t finish installing s2a.

All rights are granted to AAEase.
[Android Auto General] starbright_:
Does this work for Android without Gapps? I am using microG instead, but AA will not work and miss the gapps.
[Android Auto General] drnightshadow:
AA it self works but in connection with car ...errrrr error ... I'm trying to find out combo, how would AA work with microg.. I'm close to done, only 2 methods left all others failed.. But I need more time for testing last methods. My bee one of the end of the weekend.

Until than you can use nikgapps + nik AA add-on to get working AA in car.
[Android Auto General] sosimple:
I tried 2 phones and many custom roms, Android auto didn't work with NikGapps +nik addon. I know some succeeded, but probably 2% can make it.

yesterday ,Android auto update to 7.6.621754 Version

then my S2A Version is 3.6.4 (I try 3.6.2 also)

it show on my Android auto

but it can't work (black screen) no response

anyone know how to fix it?

it's work before Android auto update..
[Android Auto General] RKCRLR:
I had the same thing happen with my unrooted Galaxy S7 (Android 8.1) which had been previously working with S2A 3.6.2.

Black screen when I tried to use S2A. I also noticed that when I try to open S2A from the phone it closes within a second and I get a message that the app has stopped. When I do that while the phone is connected to the car in AA the black screen goes away and the AA launcher returns.

I tried uninstalling AA and S2A 3.6.2 with the same results.

I tried S2A 3.6.3 and 3.6.4 but they don't even show in AA.
[Android Auto General] hgt123:
I guess it's Android auto update Version Caused

I tried uninstalling too

and also tried S2A different Version

it show on AA

but they still doesn't work
[Android Auto General] thivamero:
Hy,

Thé same for me....grrrrr!!!
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
That's why Android Auto must be detached from Google Play to prevent the AA updates. There were numerous posts about, and how to do it. However, it requires root
[Android Auto General] thivamero:
my phone is root (A5 2017, android 8), can you explain me how to do it?...because when I run AA on the phone, it forces me to update.
[Android Auto General] hgt123:
I tried

but when I using magisk install LSPosed

It's always show "Installation failed"

I don't know why
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
More, more. more details are needed

If you have Magisk v24 or newer,, you must use Zygisk-LSPosed not Riru-LSPosed

Generally about Magisk, there is Magisk General thread and Magisk New Age of Zygisk specially for Magisk v24+ - worth to read the posts on its first page
[Android Auto General] hgt123:
Magisk v24.3

android 8.0.0

Riru install succseful

but install "LSPosed-v1.8.3-6552-zygisk-release.zip" this one failed

then I can't find any Solutiono online.o_O

I think it's my android version not support?
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
Yeah. Your only option would be to go back to Magisk v23, and to use the old Riru-LSPosed (I suppose it used to support Oreo and earlier)
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
Are you sure that it was caused by AA update or Google Play Services update?

Try to roll back to an older Google Play Services version. Perhaps this helps.
[Android Auto General] hgt123:
I had been tried Magisk v22

it's still same situation can't install

thank u!!

wait for other way to fix it

I hope.o_O
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
It's not about that Magisk does not support Oreo.

Zygisk-LSPosed does not support SDK 26 (Android 8.0)

I mentioned Magisk v23 only because of the following:

- Magisk v24 moved to Zygisk

- Because of Zygisk, Riru-LSPosed cannot be used because Riru clashes with Zygisk

Hence my point was to move back to Magisk v23 (there was no Zygisk in v23).

And then to use some old version of Riru-LSPosed that did support SDK 26.

There is no point of going back to Magisk v22, the point was only to find (if it exists) a version of LSPised that supports your old SDK 26.

That cannot be Zygisk-LSPosed but only some older Riru-LSPised.

And because Riru does not work with Zygisk (that comes with Magisk v24), then an older version of Magisk is needed, like Magisk v23

But again, the whole point is on finding an older version of LSPosed that is not restricted to SDK 27 and higher. To find that (if it exists) you will need to dig on GitHub. Taking the latest LSPosed (Riru or Zygisk) and playing with the old versions of Magisk is of no use if the latest LSPosed does not support your old Android version
[Android Auto General] Bladinium:
Hello, I followed your advice, I bought a Galaxy S8, I rooted it with a custom lightrom rom to have only the minimum on it.

I tried to install today Android Auto + screen2auto but it does not work, on android auto I do not have the screen2auto icon.

I tried everything I could find with AA AIO Tweaker, AAAD nothing works.

I missed something?

Is it due to a recent update of AA? As I am root, can I download an old version and block the update?

Blocking updates is in the developer options, or you need a special version of AA?

Thanks in advance
[Android Auto General] hgt123:
I had install LSPosed、HMA and Android Auto detached from Google Play

then I check Google Play the AA is not install

but when I connect phone to my car

it's still show need update

and Appear in Google Play again

and HMA always show uninstall Magisk?

Does this matter?
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
I have AA 7.4.620964 and when I search on Playstore it doesn't find but if Playstore shows for you that AA is not installed it should be also ok (I have YouTube also detached and Playstore shows YT is not installed)

I have to test connectng AA in the car to see if it would ask to be updated. Unfortunately, Google enforces that from time to time: first AA onlly complains and later the old version does not want to run anymore

Did you mean Magisk extensions (for HMA) like on my screenshot? I've heard about them but never installed and for me HMA works just fine (without extensions) on two phones, for 8-9 months, detaching from Playstore couple of apps and hiding Magisk app, HMA and few other LSPosed modules from Momo and some apps that seek for root

Edit: Tested in the car with AA 7.4.620964 that I configured everything back in February or so

AA did not ask me to update

Fermata and CarTube work fine and I was able to watch YT videos (like always)

Screen2Auto shows in the car and it shows all icons I had configured but when I start any app through S2A, the app does not project to the car - only audio goes to the car (app displays only on the phone)

Hence something really changed over time (since I tested last time like a month ago) - then all apps in S2A worked fine for me, projecting to the car

For the moment it's not so critical for me (hence I will keep my config as is, not risking to worsen) because I can still watch YT in the car by using Fermata and CarTube - I barely ever really needed to use the apps like EMail, Chrome, etc through Screen2Auto

it's seems differnet AA Version had different situation

[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
Did you check if the problem is caused by Google Play Services with an older Google Play Services app?
[Android Auto General] hgt123:
you mean Google Play Services Version and google store Version?

no,I didn't expect this part

and i should tried Downgrade which one version,do you have any idea?

I don't know how to start it fristo_O
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
Start with downgrading Play Services.
[Android Auto General] hgt123:
it works!!thank u!!!

so it's not AA's problem.

It all because google Play Services update Caused. (I think.

I tried so many Version,finally my S2A work again!!

frist downgrading your google Play Services.

then I use 21.48.15 (040408-414534850) this Version. (some Version will be crash for me)

and my android Version is 8.0.0

AA Version is 7.4.620964

S2A Version is 3.6.4

for now,my S2A work again in my car

might be observe for a while.

maybe you can tried it too

and thank you for your help.
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
What is the highest Google Play Services it would work with?

I was recently updated to 22.21.15 and S2A stopped properly working

Should I really go back to 21.48.15 or could I use 21.48.55 (highest 21.*.*) or would it work with any 22, like 22.09.20 from March?

[Android Auto General] sosimple:
Hi. I have older AA, and it hasn't force me to update, so i don't know for sure what is happening with current version of AA. But i have fixed it many many times. Until now, there isn't any day i couldn't use mirroring in years.

What i would try:

1. In AA enable developers settings, check in AA developer settings to allow unofficial app installation (i don't remember exactly what it writes).

2. Don't install screen2auto original versions. Eather download it from some AA stores here which is Screen2auto with a different internal name (so Google not block it), or better use lucy patcher and installed with a different name (and Uninstall the original). It has been posted here how..

3. Uninstall google play services. It will go to older version. (it would be best to use a firewall app to block internet in Google play services so not to auto update).

4. Try to install AA a little older version. If it force you to update do it and do 3 again after. Delete data from AA and screen2auto and, patch again with AIO tweaker.

5.use AIO tweaker and patch screen2auto and every unofficial app you will use in AA.

First make it work, then debloat the rom. You may have freeze something needed.

Make sure when connect AA to car, to open screen2auto and give all permission it needs.

I hope you succeed.

Edit. Try original rom rooted rom , and when it works then debloat it by yourself. If you use a custom rom, you don't know what the dev have deleted. Perhaps it has deleted something needed for AA. Although if AA is working it will probably be ok.
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
@hgt123

One day Google autoupdates the Play Services. Happens every 1 to 2 month.

I did not find a way yet to stop this.

So in 1 or 2 month you will have the same problem again...
[Android Auto General] sosimple:
I use firewall. Until now gapps didn't update due to the firewall but i haven't past 2 months yet. But i installed screen2auto to a friends car, and his car forced me to update AA. My car didn't, so firewall definitely do its job. I don't know if it will be forever.
[Android Auto General] hgt123:
I also shotdown Google Play Services autoupdates

change com.google.android.gms by root

but still don't know it will work or not

might be need observe for a while.
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
@sosimple

As you blocked Google Play Services with a firewall...do you still have Maps and Assistant?
[Android Auto General] sosimple:
Yes. Phone voice recognition by internet (assistant) is by other app, if i remember well (99% I'm sure, i had search alot) its Google now (to which i give internet) . I have everything and i have cut internet to Google gapps. I have actually cut internet from everything and give permission to have internet only to apps i want. Which are, youtube, sygic, waze, radio/ tv streaming apps etc.

I haven't tested Google maps much if everything works (eg live traffic) as i don't use it much. But i haven't cut internet to Google maps. Waze/sygic works fine (including live traffic, as i use them). I have a phone always in car dedicated for AA/mirroring.
[Android Auto General] Kevinkuensken:
ich hope it comes a Version that work with newest Play service
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
For the matter of fact, I had downgraded Play Services:

- found the folder on /data/app where Play Services was installed and deleted the folder, rebooted

From recently updated 22.21.15 it returned back to my stock 21.30.15 that I happily used with AA and S2A for half a year on this phone

But it didn't help. S2A still shows and opens on head unit but when I click to any icon/app in S2A it opens only on the phone (only audio goes to the car). I executed again aa_block_3rdapp_hack.sh but no help

Eventually I gave up and uninstalled S2A - I had it for 8-9 months on one and then another (this new) phone but I practically never used except for all those hours configuring and later testing does it still work and reconfiguring...

Fermata works fine and I can play YT with (I have also CarTube but it won't play YT while driving), I never really used S2A for other apps like browsing, writing mails or something
[Android Auto General] Kevinkuensken:
ich have the problem if i reboot my phone S2A dont show me in android auto.Everytime i must make a new installation then i can find it.If i reboot then and look S2A dont show me in Android Auto.What the Problem?
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
The OP material here is pretty outdated

Anyway, you can set a vertical ribbon with icons for all apps configured in S2A, and with the icon on top to return to the initial S2A screen

The ribbon will stay while running any app from S2A.

That way, you can jump with a single click from one app in S2A to another

---

Btw, as said, I have decommissioned S2A. Before, I downgraded yesterday to my stock Play Services 21.30.16 (didn't help for my S2A) but today Play Services updated again to 22.21.15 - Fermata and CarTube work fine
