I just installed these themes, and am looking for how to set up what you have pictured in layout 1 (I really need the clock displayed better) What did you change to get to layout1 ?
[Android Auto General] skanadian:
It says in my post, I clear data on Android auto and I get layout 1 for a bit but then it goes away. I don't know how to keep it permanently which is why I asked OP if it could be included.
[Android Auto General] danyAf:
Great app for custom AA, but i have issue, keyboard didnt show up when enable "force vertical bar R or L" . Any fix for this issue?

Thanks
[Android Auto General] Tomasz_RS:
After AA 6.4 update, applying a gradient to the status bar (gradient normal H / V bar) causes AA lock - black screen.
[Android Auto General] Speckbarbie:
Everytime I'm apply any option, Android Auto connect and disconnect and the HU display is blinking.

Any ideas?
[Android Auto General] Il gladiatore:
With the update to Android 6.4 if I apply the option to delete the bottom bar, android auto blocks me and displays the black screen, removing the option I review android auto working
[Android Auto General] Jack-.-XDA:
Same here, everey option seems working properly (statusbar 0, navbar 0.75), except for the option to modify the navbar: Immersive, Madness etc... they don't work
[Android Auto General] Samuel Holland:
Hi, thank you for sharing your work. I was gonna send you a cup or two of coffee via PayPal but I got, sorry, this organizations page is broken. I tried this thread link and the one for AA wallpapers. Thanks
[Android Auto General] Limpperi:
Hello!

Thank you for your great work. Was just wondering if the "carplay" navbar could be done horizontally too? Would be great if the statusbar info could be moved to the navbar to open up all the usable screen estate to navigation. The search bar often cuts little, yet enough, screen estate for my taste. removing the statusbar would solve this.

(Got to ask this one too, sorry in advance; Coloured separator? Maybe? Perhaps?)
[Android Auto General] keyman2000:
Hi.I am on android 9.Until AA 6.3 all were fine.After google services update that forced AAto update,nav bar can't be modified(hide etc).Tried Uninstall modules and reinstall.Tried substratum module Uninstaller through Magick.Nothing works.Downgrading AA flash older gapps and pausing background data of gservices the only way🤔
[Android Auto General] sosimple:
Hide nav bar doesn't work, also 1 button nav bar doesn't work. But 50% size for nav bar worked in me.. So I think is best alternative..
[Android Auto General] keyman2000:
Hi thanks for the info.Which selection is this if you remember in extras?
[Android Auto General] sosimple:
I don't remember exactly as I'm not in the car (i use a dedicated phone which is always in car) but if you search in substratum all the choices for navigation bar, it writes 50% (of course you can use others also, eg 70%).
[Android Auto General] keyman2000:
Thanks.Tested it but seems like only icons are reducing in nav bar.Nav bar stays like it is.
[Android Auto General] keyman2000:
Sorry but after 6.4 update which is forced by Google play services nav bar and one button mode which are very usable,not working anymore.😪
[Android Auto General] sosimple:
In my case also navbar is reduced. I'm rooted android 10.
[Android Auto General] danyAf:
Yes, me too.

Can someone confirm, keyboard (tried maps, carstream and maybe others ) doesn't show up, when enable "force vertica nav bar" ?
[Android Auto General] skanadian:
Google forcing me to update from 6.4. Looks like the fun is over for now. Miss your work @shmykelsa

Edit; most functions working on 6.5 still Yay!
[Android Auto General] vlpcrl:
can i know the procedure you did? Thank you
[Android Auto General] sosimple:
I didn't done anything special. But am not 100% sure now that navbar is actually smaller or only the icon in it.. I must disable the patch to compare..

But I believe it is smaller.
[Android Auto General] wyt18:
ExtrasforAA was working until AA 6.7 for me but the latest update to 6.8 just broke it. Error code shows up as not accepting non-integer (0) values for some dimensions (status bar 0x mod, navbar repositioning to RHS)

anyone found a fix for this (apart from downgrading to 6.7)?
[Android Auto General] vlpcrl:
Puoi dirmi che procedura hai fatto per il funzionamento di ExtrasforAA, ho fallito con AA 6.7 (telefono, sistema, ecc.) Grazie
[Android Auto General] skanadian:
Google forced 6.7 on me. Icon size, second screen, and status bar tweaks not working. .5 nav bar works but you have to set a gradient on the widget. Unable to tell if notification card size works yet.
[Android Auto General] KryptosXLayer2:
I emailed Gabriele twice, once on Sept 18th and again today, to see if there is any update coming that fixes Extras for AA to work with Android Auto 6.8+. I'm on 6.8.613354-release and themeVer=4.9.2, none of the changes in Substratum work any longer. I've removed all in manager, and get the following error when loading them again:

[Android Auto General] wyt18:
It doesn't work on AA versions higher than 6.7
[Android Auto General] rodrigoqwer:
Hi, thanks. I've tried with 6.7 AA version and it doesn't work too.
[Android Auto General] skanadian:
Google forced an update yesterday. The last version of 6.7 armv8 on apkmirror (612944) is not blacklisted by google yet.

I used navbar 0.5, widget theme, and heads up .75 on 6.7.612914 but I haven't tested them on 612944 yet.

Really sad to see this abandoned. I'll be devastated when google forces 6.8.
[Android Auto General] farbara:
s20 ultra Android 11 still not working with this update
[Android Auto General] skanadian:
Thanks OP for updating git. Everything seems to work on 7.0 except gradients.
[Android Auto General] Arismfg:
Any news for Android auto 7.4? Tried and cannot enable the theme
[Android Auto General] wyt18:
Doesn't work for me on 7.4 either. Theme completely disabled
[Android Auto General] wyt18:
In the absence of working AA Tweaks on the latest AA 7.4 (and above) versions, has anyone tried changing the DPI of the head unit?

This could make the nav bar and icons of the app launcher smaller (one of my main issues with the AA interface is how much unnecessary real estate the icons take up)
[Android Auto General] vlucchetti:
I'm on 8.8 and crosswalk enabled, these AA wallpapers no longer show up
[Android Auto General] Buhoberciano:
I don't know if you can change the size by changing DPI. Totally agree with you about the unnecessary size of the bar... It would be nice if they resumed the development of EXTRAS FOR AA
[Android Auto General] wyt18:
You can for sure. It works with wired AA and ODB2AA, as well as the original AAgateway (I tested it)

Extras for AA has been put on hold due to substratum not working on A13+
[Android Auto General] Buhoberciano:
Ok @wyt18, thank you!!!
[Android Auto General] juanenbas:
Hi all, anybody test on AA 8.8. with crosswalk enabled ???

All apk run ok with that update ??

Regards
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
Oh wow did not notice this. This must have been the Substratum Lite update that came out yesterday, because it was definitely not like this before. Apparently they screwed up something.

There's nothing I can do to fix it, so we'll just have to report this to Sub Lite developers or wait for a fix
[Android Auto General] BostonDan:
Shmykelsa,

Thanks for the response. Hopefully this will be fixed. Again, thank you for the great work!

Cheers,

B.D.

New version of Extras for AA has been pushed to XDA Labs

Version 3.0 brings the following changes:

NEW: One button mode, a totally new extra to have just the essential button on bottom bar

Just the essential to browse through Android Auto menus. It can also be combined with bottom bar dimensions (0.9x, 0.75x etc.)

NEW: Option to slim down status bar to half the size

FIX: smaller bottom bar dimensions will display icons a little bit better with smaller padding. 0.5x bottom bar should now look much better than before (not perfect though, I'll tweak better I swear)

FIX: dimensions of elements in status bar styles

FIX: Italian translations updated

Some other minor fixes

One Button Mode:

New version of Extras for AA has been pushed to XDA Labs

Version 3.1 and 3.1.1 bring the following changes:

NEW: Two buttons mode! Don't want to go drastic with just launcher button? Combine it with either notification button (L + N mode) or quick access to music & Maps (L + Q mode) Choose if you want it to the right or to the left and if you want it vertical (V) or horizontal (V)

NEW: Three buttons mode! They say it comes in threes! If you'd like launcher, notifications and quick access buttons, this will do for you! Choose it if you want it on the left or on the right and vertical (V) or Horizontal (H)

FIXED: Notification dot in bottom bar would look with a weird black stroke

CHANGED: Status Bar dimension is switched to 0.75x instead of 0.5x because it was too damn little

3.1.1 fixes build issues

[Android Auto General] mdv53:
is it possible to move the time to the bottom bar? I use a lot of carstream and with full screen no time is visible
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
It's technically possible by sacrificing the status bar. There might be some issue with elements on top of others, so it will definitely require some serious testing but I'm pretty confident it could be feasible.
[Android Auto General] mdv53:
That would be nice if that works.
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
I tried and it's definitely possible to place just the clock above the bottom bar, but CarStream makes so that status bar is hidden, and unfortunately I can't beat that with Extras For AA.
[Android Auto General] lord_yabol:
Welcome,

I have two questions:

1. Is it possibe to implement "Auto Hide" function for bottom bar.

Many cars have proximetly sensors in radio (for example factory navigation).

2. Could you add a possibility to % adjusting of transparency status bar or one button, two buttons etc

Great Job
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
1) Nope, not at all

2) Nope, tried it but transparency won't apply

[MENTION=3451903]mdv53[/MENTION] I have to correct myself though. I might come up with something in next release
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
New version of Extras for AA has been pushed to XDA Labs

Version 3.2 assures full compatibility with Android Auto 5.5 (still backward compatible with 5.4)

As I said on my Telegram Channel (apologies for not telling here) I am currently on a vacation and development is paused for at least other 10 days (except critical updates such as new Android Auto version)

CLEAN INSTALL IS COMPULSORY

If you are updating Android Auto from 5.4 to 5.5, please uninstall and re-build all the Extras previously built before using AA. Please don't report a non functioning Android Auto if you did not clean install the theme.

Also if you want sneek peaks of new updates, as well as release candidates of next builds of WP4AA and Extras4AA, be sure to join the update channel on Telegram

I also had this problem. Install the last version of Android auto. then everything works fine.
[Android Auto General] vuurvlinder:
Okay, forgot to mention, i am on oreo...
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
Hey [MENTION=339475]vuurvlinder[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2685088]lazynok[/MENTION]

Thanks for letting me now.

I have just released Extras For AA 3.2.1 that has simplified some things and should have a better compatibility with older Android Auto versions. When Android Auto is released I try to go side by side with it but sometimes some things change and are no more compatible with older Android Auto versions. With this update I think I might solve this.

Anyways, as [MENTION=247419]mdv[/MENTION]83 pointed out, installing AA 5.5 should solve everything in every case.

Let me know, cheers.

As always, clean install the extras.

EDIT: I have reports of Extras for AA working on AA 5.2 now
[Android Auto General] vuurvlinder:
Hi,

The update AA did the trick! Working flawlessly on my S8-Oreo I.c.w. Aamirror, many respects to the developer ;), respect!! And many thanks!
[Android Auto General] lemonial:
Transparent bottom bar

Thanks Developer of Extras for AA app.

This is an amazing app for AA and one of recommended tool to make AA better.

I installed the newest rel and am playing with it and found something should be fixed for better performance.

Is it possible to make bottom bar transparent or background color of one button mode(L/R) transparent?
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
As answered before in this thread, no, it can't be transparent.

What's the thing that should be fixed?
[Android Auto General] BostonDan:
Not sure if it's just me, but either latest version of AA or August Security Patch seemed to break AA theme for me. ☹️

This is in no way a negative comment towards this awesome substratum theme. I am very appreciative of this (and all developers') work.

Cheers,

B.D.
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
Hello,

could it be that you have AA into Magisk Hide?
[Android Auto General] BostonDan:
Shmykelsa,

AA is not in Magisk Hide. Some of the options for your extras seem to work, but some combinations are having the effect of not permitting AA to launch (so on the phone it tries to launch AA and then it FCs and then the phone tries to launch AA again, repeatedly) or other combinations seem to work, but then break the widgets, preventing them from launching. I have tried turning on different combinations of options and a few seem to work but others do not.

Again, this is in no way criticism but rather I am just trying to provide information to you and the community on what I have observed.

Cheers,

B.D.
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
Could you please tell me what is your setup, the extras you are building (the ones that causes trouble) in PM or via mail (gabriele.rizzo@outlook.com)?
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
New version of Extras for AA has been pushed to XDA Labs

Version 3.3 introduces "Madness Mode"

View attachment 5078891

View attachment 5078893

View attachment 5078895

You really want a clock always shown on Android Auto? Well, madness mode suits your needs. Launcher icon is swapped with a handy dandy clock that stays on the bar and can be pressed to go back into the home. Madness mode will be only clock (Madness Mode L, left or R, right) or can be combined with notifications and quick access, just like one/two buttons mode. (+N = notifications + Q = quick access)

This mode got me into some serious work, but it's very useful for who wants to hide the status bar (or runs an app that hides the status bar) and so I made a very big effort in making it real.

In next release I'll also add the three buttons version of Madness Mode (so clock, quick access and notifications)

Madness mode is compatible with gradients and also with dimensions of bottom bar (0.9x, 0.75x, 0.5x)

Not sure what to say. I had to clear data and cache for AA and now all is well. Curious. Sorry for any concern I caused.

Cheers,

Nothing if transparent home button is not possible at the moment.

Thanks.
[Android Auto General] mdv53:
Great update, only problem is the time (example: 14:00 is showing 14:0 and 14:01 is showing 14:1)
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
I know about this issue and I'm investigating on how to fix it (if possible)
[Android Auto General] BostonDan:
One issue I just discovered, for the bottom bar widget I had set a specific color background. However, when it turned dark outside, the color changed to correspond to the "nighttime" setting colors. This morning when driving to work, the bottom widget background was still the nighttime color until sunrise, whereupon it reverted to my chosen color. Just a small issue I wanted to inform people of.

Cheers,

B.D.
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
I was aware of this issue and you just reminded me to fix it. It'll be fixed in next version :)
[Android Auto General] shmykelsa:
Heya! New version of Extras for AA has been pushed to XDA Labs

Version 3.4 brings the following changes:

NEW: Madness + Q + N modes. It's just like three buttons mode but instead of launcher icons you get the clock

NEW: Heads up notifications now have two dimension XS (extra small, it was smaller before) and S (small, it's bigger than the before "smaller")

REVERTED: option to have gradient on bottom bar is back. This will make sure bottom bar can be themed either with the color picker and with other modes like madness ore one/two/three buttons

FIXED: if you pick a colour from color picker for the widget it will stay also in dark mode

FIXED: status bar styles can now be matched with other options

IMPROVED: status bar centered

Code cleanup
