I have two phones: one rooted, one non-rooted. Both work with screen2auto, fermata, carstream, etc. In my experience, problems are usually related to the health of the phone and garbage in the system. Best to wipe the phone to factory settings (reset) and install everything from scratch. I recommend doing this at least once a year. Everything runs smoothly.
[Android Auto General] wiko59:
to solve the problem of Screen2auto I renamed the package with apk editor before installing it
[Android Auto General] Tomasz_RS:
I use AAAD and AAEase - both solutions are effective, although AAEase on a rooted phone does not download the application.
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
That photo shows AAStream. Are you using that, or Screen2Auto?
[Android Auto General] Tomasz_RS:
This is an example photo. It doesn't matter if it's AAStream or another program - AAEase doesn't download any. I personally use Screen2auto.
[Android Auto General] drexd:
Pixel 6a rooted A13. Was never asked about project/authorize the screen. S2A works and I even can change backgrounds but clicking on software results in nothing. It launches on the phone though. Was trying the above and I get the following error: Error: No UID for ru.inceptive.screentwoauto in user 0. how do i overcome this?

May main and only reason is running JBV1 with display in AA.

Has anyone else had any luck getting JBV1 to work in AA?

Update;

Reflags to stock A13 and used AAAD and it works. I can see JBV1 unroofed on android 13 .

The only issue is I have to acknowledge the screen projection question every time I click on S2a or S2a launches any app.

Didn’t get a chance to retry the and command above but if it doesn’t work how else can I get that question to not pop up?

TL; DR :

So everything works currently unrooted A13 .

How do I get screen projection to stick and not have to answer every time?
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
The command you quoted is how you get rid of the popup message.

I think it's named something different if you installed with AAEASE. Look in Storage/emulated/0/Android/data
[Android Auto General] Hirishiolo:
hello, someone managed to mirror DAZN app on AA with S2A? thanks
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
I would assume they use DRM protection so probably not possible. Dazn through IPTV service though, 👍
[Android Auto General] Medicina200401:
Hello. It also stopped working for me and I can't find the solution.
[Android Auto General] Bladinium:
Ur save my time :p i have try with AA aio tweaker etc... and dont work! with Aaad working it's first try! thanks you
[Android Auto General] tiho5:
Can you link to AAAD, please.

How to set it full screen without rooting?
[Android Auto General] onesolo:
I'm on A13 with root using the latest APK for AA v9.xxx

I installed S2A latest file but it doesn't appear on AA menu. Any ideas?? Is there anything to do to S2A appears on AA??
[Android Auto General] tiho5:
You must install s2a with a changed name. Some use king installer, some use AAAD, some use AAEASE. Google recognizes the app otherwise.
[Android Auto General] onesolo:
The strange thing is that the app is listed inside AA developer menu

Any safe place where I can download King installer??
[Android Auto General] italodance:
Guys help me out 🙂
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
What do you mean by full screen? Do you mean the apps filling the usable space, some apps like certain video apps, you can stretch the screen to fill.

Or are you talking about removing the bottom navigation/media bar on Android Auto? I don't think you can do that without root.
[Android Auto General] zxxxxx:
A question , istall-i was showed ? by adb ,could you tell me why?
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
Try to install through ADB.

Perhaps it will work.

My experience: on one of my phones it worked, on the other phone I always had an install error.
[Android Auto General] zxxxxx:
I mean, if istall-i is not right,it should be install-l ?
[Android Auto General] zxxxxx:
Because adb show me:install-i is not a correct command.
[Android Auto General] zxxxxx:
And my phone is rooted,so could you tell me how to write the commands,thanks!
[Android Auto General] italodance:
I'm asking about this that doesn't work.
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
Not sure, it works on my unrooted Pixel 6 Pro.

What phone?
[Android Auto General] italodance:
Xiaomi mi 11 lite.
[Android Auto General] cosminmocan:
Would someone be kind enough to post a draft of a guide, from a to z? SInce starting to use it for a rooted note9 to now, a lot has changed, the aio patcher doesnt work, so i cannot shrink the navbar, also s2a always works and then it doesn't and I would like to have my trusty road companion back with me :) .

Also, before being told, i saw that here are fragments of information here and there, but that generally end up in intermitent working s2a.

Thank you in advance !
[Android Auto General] gullzway:
Other than the first time years ago, all I do is install AAEASE. Then run it and install S2A with it.

Is that not working for you?

Same with me, Redmi Note 8 Pro, rooted

Was that using AAEASE? Working on my Pixel 6 Pro, unrooted.
[Android Auto General] 1slotrk:
AAease errors out on rooted devices, if I'm correct.

Installed now again with AAEASE and it's working! I've denied root on the AAEASE to work and then gave root to S2Auto 🙌 thanks!

[Android Auto General] jimikoukou:
For those like me, until recently, that always used the Launcher screen, noticed that it is not working on Android 13 (non rooted Samsung A52S). Launching an app using an icon on the launcher screen crashes screen2auto (only viber was still working). But if "Open on start" launcher screen is disabled, the screen mirroring, and all apps are functioning properly!

[Android Auto General] gullzway:
Updated my Pixel 6 Pro, non rooted, to AA version 9.0.630834-release a few days ago. Screen2Auto still working.

Try reinstall with AAEASE?
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
I know that this is maybe not the right thread to ask but I wonder if anybody saw the AA Communication error 22 when trying to establish the connection

I have two Xiaomi phones. On one (newer, A12) AA works flowlessly with SA and Fermata

On the other Xiaomi, older (A11, model from 2019), now I cannot even establish the AA connection anymore.

A year+ ago, when this was my main phone AA worked (same MIUI, also with SA and Fermata) but now AA pops that error telling that AA was not pre-installed on the phone

However, on both Xiaomi phones AndroidAuto Stub app was pre-installed as a stock app to /system/product/priv-app/AndroidAutoStub, and I had to use Google Play to install the latest version of AA app

On that newer phone there was no problem but on the older one this error now (a year ago, the older version of AA worked fine on the same phone and ROM was never upgraded or changed in the meantime)

I tried also a couple of older AA versions from APK mirror, like

v8.8.630404-release (same version works just fine on my newer Xiaomi) but on that older Xiaomi I always get the same error

Frankly, it's not crucial for me, I have AA working on the newer phone (with SA and Fermata), and this old phone (without SIM card, hence without Mobile Internet and therefore not really useful for AA) is just for testing...
[Android Auto General] tiho5:
Just a stupid idea. Did you try with SIM inserted? Not much logic here, but one can expect everything from Google these days...
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
Actually, the yesterday's issue was resolved (now, one step ahead), it was my fault (AA Stub was [partially] debloated)

Now I pass that step but get another Communication error 17 - I think this one is really due to the lack of SIM card (I will no more pursue because I don't want to move the SIM card from one phone to another, I tried with WiFi tethering instead but it did not help)
[Android Auto General] BostonDan:
Looking online, communications error 17 seems to be related to microphone permission.

See Here.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

B.D.
[Android Auto General] tiho5:
Let us know what happened. It's good to have issues reported here for the general knowledge.
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
Thanks. By giving the microphone permission to AA (I gave all kind of permissions, to make sure it won't be next time a new error xx), Comm error 17 was fixed and AA finally connected successfully (even without the SIM card and out of reach of the WLAN)

[That's what I wanted, to have AA (with SA and Fermata), like I have other apps and tweaks ready on that spare phone, just in case (once I bricked my main phone and having almost everything ready on the spare phone saved my ass - I was on vacation, I just moved SIM cards to the old/spare phone and in about half an hour I was able to continue with everything that I needed for the private and work use)]
[Android Auto General] Andreu123456789:
It happened a similar thing to me. After an update S2A disapeared (rooted phone). I tried to install it again via AAAD or AAease and both apps crashed. I solved it using ApkRenamer from github. Follow the instructions and you'll be able to renme the package and then S2A will be shown again in AA.
[Android Auto General] Leoninone:
Good morning,

I installed s2a on s7 with root. S2a appears in AA's apps, but when I try to open it, it goes black windows for a few seconds and then closes. I gave all permissions on both s2a and root. Advice?
[Android Auto General] Hotdizzle:
Which package did you rename exactly?
[Android Auto General] Andreu123456789:
Android package name (of the app). This way I could install AAAD (with the original package name I could install it but crashed all the time when dowloading S2A; exactly the same with AAEase) and with the new package name the app worked well and I could download and install S2A again.

By the way, with the current ApkRenamer version S2A cannot be renamed (it crasehs). I contacted the developer and he will improve it in the coming version.

Download it. Unzip it in your computer. Make sure you have Java 1.8 installed in the PC. Place the app you want to modify in the in folder. Execute the start file and answer the two questions (enter a new name for the app [remember to put .apk after the new name]; enter a package name [usually you have to name it as com.the new package name] . In less than a minute you'll find the new app in the out folder. So easy!

[Android Auto General] Xurde78:
It lets me change the apk without a problem, it installs fine, but my problem is that it doesn't show up in AA, I think the problem is MicroG
[Android Auto General] italodance:
Possible to turn off phone screen and use head unit only ?
[Android Auto General] badabing2003:
for it to show up in AA, direct install (sideloading) is not enough, it needs to be installed with a special flag to make it part of the Google Play Market.

You can use AAEase to do that, just use the install option further down.

There are other tools that can do that too.
[Android Auto General] Xurde78:
Thanks badabing2003

I have tried with EAease, also Kinginstaller and even "pm install -i com.android.vending /data/app//-------/base.apk"

Without any result.

I keep trying.

When I install another gps (Here Wego, Osmand...) it does not appear in the AA launcher either
[Android Auto General] Xurde78:
Summary:

Pocophone F1 with CrDroid 8.12 Android 12 microg ; AA version 9.0630834

I have renamed https://github.com/dvaoru/ApkRenamer to Osmand app --> Gogo and Screen2Auto --> Espejo

I have installed AAease 0.6.2 and have installed the renamed apps Gogo (Osmand), Espejo (Screen2Auto) and AA AIO Tweaker.

With AA AIO Tweaker I have tried to patch the applications but it gives me an error, I have attached a log in case it helps.

https://pastebin.com/pJ9XwCDk

Gogo and Espejo apps show up in AA settings but not in AA launcher
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
You don't need AA AIO Tweaker to patch the apps

You need to install the repackaged S2A by help of eg AAEase
[Android Auto General] Xurde78:
Thanks @zgfg

But unfortunately it doesn't work for me

I have installed S2A repackaged with AAEase in every possible way but the app never appears in the AA launcher.

I guess the problem is on my phone.

Thanks for the directions.

I will keep trying
[Android Auto General] Xurde78:
not having the original GPlay store, could it be the problem?
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
Don't know - maybe (see if there are others who use without GApps)

AFAIK, it's important that it says that (renamed and repackaged) SA was installed by PlayStore, that you can see it in AA when you open Versions and that for AA itself, you enabled Developer options and set Developer mode - as on the screenshots
[Android Auto General] Xurde78:
I enabled Developer options and set Developer mode

I can see it in AA when you open Versions but I can not that for AA itself.

But It´s says that was installed by FakeStore
[Android Auto General] badabing2003:
That's your problem, FakeStore?

How did you install it?

It needs to be installed by Play Market
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
If you are on MicroG,

FakeStore = Google Play Store = com.android.vending
[Android Auto General] Andreu123456789:
Did you try yo patch S2A through AIO Tweaker?

A very similar thing happened to me (I could see S2A as a 3.6.4 on AA Version but it didn't appear on apps menu). I patched it via AIO Tweaker and since then it appears on the AA apps menu.
[Android Auto General] Xurde78:
yes i tried, no result,

I think my problem may be A12, so I'll try to migrate to CrDroid 9 as soon as I have a little time and continue testing.
[Android Auto General] Xurde78:
I installed microG revived from magisk.

Ruled out that's the problem
[Android Auto General] badabing2003:
so thing are working fine now?
[Android Auto General] Xurde78:
Yes now everything are working fine now, thanks to Rikj000

Published a new minimal Xposed module, which only uses the hooks from Fermata,

to unlock additional third party apps.

You can find the XDA thread for it here:

[Release] Android Auto - Xposed Unlocked (AAXU)

Also for those who don't follow the "microG + Android Auto fully working" thread,

where I did most of my initial posts.

Also check out the new King Installer v1.3 to install apps "as Google Play Store"

Enjoy your fully unlocked AA guys! 🍻

I do see s2a icon in the AA menu of my car but if I click on it I receive a black screen and AA freezes. Any suggestions ? Is somewhere a guide to the s2a's setup parameters ? A trial and errors approach is nearly impossible given the number of those parameters and their interconnection
[Android Auto General] tiho5:
It may stil need the grant the project media permissions.

Sometimes it is not visualized properly so you could confirm it.

Try:

adb shell appops set com.your.app PROJECT_MEDIA allow

com.your.app is the package name of S2A the way it was given to it when installing it with AAEASE or another similar tool.
[Android Auto General] the gladiator:
Thanks a lot. The command through termux rather than adb it's the same, isn't it?
[Android Auto General] the gladiator:
I reply to myself: no, the command it's not the same!

I followed @tiho5 's clear indication but nothing has changed: although there is the screen2auto icon in AA menu, the screen goes black when I click on it

I can't get S2A to work.

Tried with rooted Galaxy S20 / S23 , android 13 + magisk.

If I use android auto 8.6.124644 or below, I can see S2A in the app list but android auto required an update to work. after updating, S2A not showing anymore (same **** with any version above 8.6.625054)

What I tried till now:

1. Install S2A with KingInstaller 1.3

2. Patch with AA AIO Tweaker

3. LSPosed module (android auto xposed unlocked)

4. Change app name with apk editor

5. Install with AAEase

What am I doing wrong ??

Thanks
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
Just released v2.0, app has been renamed to: Android Auto - XLauncher Unlocked

The Xposed hooks didn't change, but I did add a bunch of additional features! 🙂

Check it out @ https://github.com/Rikj000/Android-Auto-XLauncher-Unlocked/releases/tag/v2.0

- AAEase should not be required, KingInstaller should suffice

- Do not use the root installation method of AAEase, that's known to not work correctly anymore

Seems like you've did all the required steps 🤔

I assume you are not a MicroG user?

Please validate if the changes done by AA-Tweaker,

onto your "/data/data/com.google.android.gms/phenotype.db" persist or not.

To do so:

- Disable the Google Play Services (com.google.android.gms)

- Validate the size of the "/data/data/com.google.android.gms/phenotype.db",

or open it with any SQLite editor, check the contents of the FlagOverrides table

- Patch the phenotype.db by applying some AA-Tweaker settings

- Validate the size of the "/data/data/com.google.android.gms/phenotype.db",

or open it with any SQLite editor, check the contents of the FlagOverrides table.

We expect a bigger file-size / FlagOverrides existing

- Enable the Google Play Services (com.google.android.gms) + Reboot

- Validate if Fermata, OsmAnd, S2A dissapeared from AA launcher

- Validate the size of the "/data/data/com.google.android.gms/phenotype.db",

or open it with any SQLite editor, check the contents of the FlagOverrides table.

At the end of that process,

you should be able to tell if the Google Play services are clearing out the FlagOverrides applied by AA-Tweaker.

LSPosed module requires Magisk (root) and LSPosed module. And then no AAEase or so

[Android Auto General] eyalin:
Can you please share your cloned S2A version ?
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
Sorry, not - I don't want that its package name becomes public and blocked by AA in future

Use the APK Studio, Tools and Clone app option to have your own, unique package name
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
Check the patchforapps() function of AA-Tweaker,

all the phenotype.db patches that it applies to enable 3th party apps are in there.
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
S2A appears to be the most restricted app.

To my knowledge following levels of restrictions/by-passes exist:

1. Developer mode + unknown sources need to be enabled in the AA app,

you can tap the Version number in the AA app a lot, to unlock the developer settings.

2. Apps need to be "installed as Google Play",

you can use KingInstaller to do so: https://github.com/fcaronte/KingInstaller

3. Apps need to be "whitelisted in phenotype.db",

you can use AA-AIO-Tweaker for this: https://github.com/shmykelsa/AA-Tweaker

4. Apps need Xposed module to spoof an additional "installed as Google Play" check,

you can use Android-Auto-XLauncher-Unlocked for this: https://github.com/Rikj000/Android-Auto-XLauncher-Unlocked

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/

Open MT Manager => Open S2A.apk file => View => AndroidManifest.xml => String pool => Triple dot icon => Filter =>

Type the package name of the app (likely "ru.cvitnepei.neatruwtosceo" or "ru.inceptive.screentwoauto") => Ok

=> Select the found package name (likely "ru.cvitnepei.neatruwtosceo" or "ru.inceptive.screentwoauto")

=> Alter it to something unique, don't tell your unique package name online => Ok => Back arrow => Save and exit

=> Save AndroidManifest.xml modification + Auto sign => Ok

Open your package manager => Install modified / renamed S2A.apk
