Oooooh Yeah!

That fixed it! I re-flashed with open gapps 2020-12-01 and the truck picked it up right away.

In the truck, when I plugged it in, I pressed Android Auto on the display and it hung saying it was checking messages. Even after reconnecting the USB a few times. So on my dash I went to settings, AA, where all phones are listed and pressed mine to make it inactive, then again to make it active.

Then everything worked!

Thanks so much.

I have just installed LOS 17.1 on my Pixel 5", but with Microg rather than OpenGapps. Not downloaded AA just yet, and wondered if others have had issues with Microg?
[Android Auto General] drnightshadow:
Go to microg thread for more info.. I think AA is not supported by microg.
[Android Auto General] jo mateix:
Do you have a link please:? Here https://sourceforge.net/projects/opengapps/files/arm64/ the versions jump from 2020-07-05 to 2020-12-11. Thanks
[Android Auto General] jo mateix:
Ah, nevermind; 2020-07-05 worked
[Android Auto General] G A S T:
I had absolutely no issues with LOS 17.1 and Android Auto together with my smart EQ, but now since April, after the Upgrade to LOS 18.1 I get exactly the same error output like you.

Is this problem Android 11 or OpenGApps related? I'm on the latest official OpenGApps test build from january since there is nothing newer available atm. 🤔
[Android Auto General] d_g_m_2000:
i think it is a opengapps problem related. i had android 11 with pixel experience (with gapps included) on my moto g6 plus and AA worked normally... but when i flashed lineages 17.1 + opengapps newer builds it just fail.
[Android Auto General] SteveMKII:
Hi, I am having the same issue with crDroid on Android 11 using gapps aroma and pico build from 2021-01-30. Are you able to provide one from December 2020 for Android 11? Or are you on Android 10? I don't see it here. Or do you know if another build works? I'm hoping to use open gapps aroma. Thanks for the help.
[Android Auto General] SteveMKII:
Hey guys I found a solution for those who can't get Android Auto to display on their car screen with Android 11 and gapps.

So after having issues with the gapps I tried MindTheGapps and Android Auto was working on there. I noticed that when I flashed the ROM Android Auto was installed already, but it was just a little stub app, only about 3 mb. So I decided to copy the folder containing the apk file and install it into a ROM with OpenGapps. The original file was placed in system/product/priv-app, so I copied it there using TWRP then rebooted. It did not work. So I uninstalled all the updates to AA and removed it then pasted it back in, and ended up in a bootloop. So finally I tried installing the stub app in /system/priv-app and rebooted. I then updated AA on the play store and it worked! So it seems that in order to get AA working you need this little stub app that must contain the necessary code to connect to your car. Note that AA will no longer show up in your launcher but you can download the "Android Auto for Phone Screen" app if you need to use it both on your car screen and on your phone in a car without an AA head unit. So the steps are as follows

Copy the attached apk file into a folder called AndroidAutoStubPrebuilt

Completely uninstall AA from your phone, both in user apps and system apps.

Boot into TWRP

Mount System in the "Mount" setting in TWRP

Copy the AndroidAutoStubPrebuilt folder containing the attached apk into system/priv-app/ (or your preferred folder but it needs to be in a system folder, I had a bootloop when I installed it into system/product/priv-app so if something like that happens try a different folder)

reboot your phone

install play store update for AA

set up AA on your phone

Connect to your car.

Enjoy.

Hopefully this fixes the issue for you guys as well. If it does, please let me know!

For reference I am using a US Moto G5 plus XT1687 (Potter) running CrDroid 7.5 with Open Gapps Aroma and Magisk.

This stub app comes from flashing the MindTheGapps package and is in no way my creation, I am simply sharing the apk from it for those who are using open gapps and can't get AA working. Thanks MTG, I couldn't have found this solution without it!​
[Android Auto General] G A S T:
Very Interesting! I hope that the OGApps team will take account of your important hint and that we'll find a fix in the next builds.👌
[Android Auto General] Nezorflame:
Thanks for sharing, we'll definitely include this (or something similar) in our next builds.
[Android Auto General] hannesz:

How can I uninstall the Android Auto from user apps and system apps?
[Android Auto General] Zentori:
I'm on LOS 18.1 with NikGapps. I tried placing apk folder in system/product/priv-app and system/priv-app resulting in boot loop or system not working. May I know which folder did you use? Is the same attached here apk or another one for Android R?

I took the AndroidAutoStubPrebuilt.apk from the MindTheGapps-11 package and copied it to system/priv-app/ as suggesed by SteveMKII.
[Android Auto General] mrglobule:
Hello,

I'm with LineageOS 17.1 from sebaubuntu for my Asus Zenphone 4 Max, and i have the same workarround.

When i plugge my phone onto my car (Peugeot 3008) the device said me it was incompatible.

Would you mind to help me?

Regards,
[Android Auto General] d_g_m_2000:
well, when that happend to me, i use a gapps built from 20201218, then it worked. maybe you should try it.
[Android Auto General] G A S T:
I am using a fresh GApps build for Android 11 / LOS 18.1 from today with the needed AA stub app, but it don't work. Impossible to connect to my car. 😩
[Android Auto General] SteveMKII:
Completely forgot to check back in after I wrote that, but I'm glad it's solved the issue for so many people!

Where did you install the stub app?
[Android Auto General] G A S T:
I did not install it by myself. The latest GApps Pico package did that for me. And afterwards it should have been working after Installation of AA (full) from the PlayStore.
[Android Auto General] Zentori:
If not using ADB and directly in terminal:

pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.projection.gearhead
[Android Auto General] ohmmmmmmm:
Inescapable boot loop.

First, it's /system/system/priv-app, /system/priv-app doesn't exist.

Once you do that, you cause a boot loop. It's inescapable because you can't find the real /system/ in TWRP file manager. If you go to Mount, and select System, then it never mounts. Try reboot, try Mount USB whatever, it will just go to the Lineage splash/loading screen and then crash to TWRP -- but without mounting /system/.

How does one forcibly mount system in TWRP and then reboot to recovery without going to Lineage (this seems to re-unmount /system)?

I've tried going to recovery with the Factory reset > Yes Volume Down + Power combination, and it's the same. Never mounts /system, so I can never move the file out of /system/system/priv-app to fix this boot loop.
[Android Auto General] ipdev:
Hi. :)

A factory reset will only clear the userdata side not the system.

To replace system you need to replace it with a clean version from the ROM.

Use the Wipe (Advanced Wipe) option in TWRP and select system.

This will remove addon.d scripts so nothing will be automatically reinstalled.​

Install the ROM you are using to restore the system.

This will also replace the boot image, if you use Magisk then you will need to patch the boot image again.​

Install the GApps package you are using.

Since you did a factory reset, all the user settings, app updates and user installed apps will be gone.

You will be at a clean install.

---

When you boot into TWRP, you are booting into a mini Android system.

The main ROM system is not mounted.

Since Android 9/10 and newer, ROM builds are system-as-root (SAR).

TWRP should mount system properly.

System will be mounted to /system_root and /system_root/system to /system.

To manually mount system while booted into TWRP.

You need to find the mount points for you device, then mount it.

EXAMPLE from my OnePlus 6T.

Find the mount points.

dumpling:/ # cat /etc/fstab
/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/cache /cache ext4 rw 0 0
/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system /system_root ext4 rw 0 0
/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/vendor /vendor ext4 rw 0 0
/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata /data ext4 rw 0 0
/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modem /firmware vfat rw 0 0
/usbstorage vfat rw 0 0

Mount system_root and system.

dumpling:/ # mount /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system /system_root
dumpling:/ # mount /system_root/system /system

To unmount properly, you have to do it in reverse order.

dumpling:/ # umount /system
dumpling:/ # umount /system_root

---

I recently had a chance to test AA using the current OpenGApps builds.

No issues using the Pico build. AA updated from PlayStore.

Google Maps and YT Music worked.

Receiving and sending SMS messages worked.

Hope it helps more than confuse. 🙃

Cheers. :cowboy:
[Android Auto General] suquet.paul:
Nope. Did not work on LineageOS 18.1 on my Xperia XZ1 Compact. Pretty sad.
[Android Auto General] G A S T:
No it's not. Because you have to delete the old redundant entries first. Wipe everything related to Android Auto from your ROM at first an then flash the latest GApps Version. Without that it will never work. I described the process somewhere else here on XDA.
[Android Auto General] suquet.paul:
Yep. I deleted all android auto related system files I could find using ADB. Still no dice.
[Android Auto General] SteveMKII:
Sorry for the late reply, have you tried deleting and installing through TWRP? Not sure if it will make a difference (I've haven't used adb to delete systems apps so I'm not sure) but maybe it's worth a shot? Other than that I don't know what to say, maybe the method I described doesn't work for all devices?
[Android Auto General] G A S T:
Do it via TWRP (like I did) and do it in all of those mentioned folders:

[Android Auto General] ale5000:
Hi,

I have added Android Auto stub in my flashable zip: https://github.com/micro5k/microg-unofficial-installer

It is disabled by default but you can enable it in Live setup or change default settings.

It should teorically work from Android 6 to Android 13 but currently I cannot test it.

I would like to know if someone could please test it and report back specifying also device name and Android version.

To try you should download the entire repository from: https://github.com/micro5k/microg-unofficial-installer/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

Then on Windows double click on

build.bat

while on other OSes type

./build.sh

At the end you will find the flashable zip in the output folder.

While flashing enable Live setup and choose to install Android Auto stub.

After flashing the zip, reboot, update Android Auto in Play Store or in Aurora Store and then follow the instruction on the app itself.

I am running AA with LOS 19 (microG fork). Want to use it for navigation. Bad thing - the only navigation app that is working (listed in AA) is Google Maps. For good reason I want to have as less Google as possible. Is there a way to get any other (offline) Navigation app running?

Interesting: If you open AA app on phone (Settings/Apps/AA/Additional settings in app and scroll down to Version and tap on it:

You can see some packages that I think should be visible in AA (as OSMAnd, Here, Navigator) - but they are not listed in Launcher and hence not available in the car. Any way to workaround that?
[Android Auto General] Edmin66:
Paul,

i'm wondering if you ever got AA working on your device? I have my own XZ1 Compact ... whenever I put the stub APK in /system/priv-app using TWRP the phone runs into a boot loop on reboot. Not sure if some additional verification or protection needs to be disabled. Also tried to "systemize" AA using Magisk and systemizer ... but AA keeps complaining about not being properly integrated into the OS.

Did you ever find a way to get AA working?
[Android Auto General] suquet.paul:
Nope. Never did. Fortunately, it's not my main device, I daily a Pixel 6 and a Samsung S22; but I love the form factor of the Compact and really wanted to daily that one, sadly, no Android Auto, can't use it.
[Android Auto General] blumentopf75:
Hello LineageFans,

I'm also interested in running some app on my Android-Auto-able multimediascreen in my new car.

At the moment I'm running an Android11 (Lineage18) on my old Samsung A5 (SM-A510F). Not rooted. No gapps (so no google push services, playstore ...) installed. Up to now I could avoid to have an Google account. I installed the Android Auto app manually from APKMirror.

When I plug in the phone to the car, I get a message "Android Open Automotive Protocol: No compatible apps installed".

In difference to that my wife has the same Phone with LOS 17 with nanogapps installed. There on plugging in the phone shows a dialog (maybe thats this stub-app, that has been mentioned several times in this thread), which tells me about apps are missig: Andoid Auto, Google Maps, Google Voice control and a fourth google app that I don't remember right now). After installing them from google playstore, everything works fine.

So I have some questions:

1. Is there a way run Andoid Auto completely without gapps? (I'm afraid, not...)

2. When I install gapps, do I need a google account? (I'm afraid, yes...)

3. Could I also use microG insted of gapps, is there everything included whats necessary for Android Auto?

4. When I will be asked to install the missing Apps (Google Maps, Voice control...) Could I avoid them somehow? I do not need them.

5. Is a mobile data connection necessary while running Android Auto (of course I know, if the navigation app needs it, it's necessary)? But does the Andoid Auto system itself need mobile data (for whatever)?

My only goal is it, to run Mapfactors Navigator, maybe also spotify. Nothing else (no google maps, no voice control, no instant messaging). I only want to mirror the navigation software on the car screen and want to hear the navigation hints over the cars speakers.

Thank you,

Hello,

Is there a way to edit the navigation bar on Android 11 without going the EdXposed route? I was looking to press and swipe up home for recents, change recents to menu, and long press back to kill application. I have this on my Pixel 3A XL with EdXposed & Android 10 but wanted to know if it was possible with just Magisk and Android 11?

Thanks
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Guides, News, & Discussion] rspkt:
December firmware updates are starting to roll out now with a couple for our device:

11.0.0 (RQ1A.201205.010, Dec 2020, AT&T)

11.0.0 (RQ1A.201205.011, Dec 2020, All carriers except AT&T and Verizon)

These updates can be found here as usual: Factory Images | Full OTA Images

I updated my device using the RQ1A.201205.010 image since my device's carrier is Cricket Wireless which is owned and operated by AT&T.

This is should be an important note for anyone who has Cricket Wireless and this phone to use the AT&T specific firmware.

After flashing via fastboot after removing the '-w' flag in the 'flash-all' script, I was able to re-root my device using the latest Magisk Canary build and after re-enabling all my modules including the Build Props module my device is successfully rooted and also passing all SafetyNet checks.

So far everything is running stable and nicely. I was using Proton Kernel on the device after I received it and previous to this update but for now I'm gonna let it run stock and see how it's overall performance is before possibly changing the kernel again. Just wanted to report my findings after applying this month's firmware update.

I used the Magisk Props config to spoof the Safetynet check and it stayed intact after the update flash.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] ryaniskira:
Is anyone else having an issue where their device will randomly reboot, and then when it boots back up it boots to a stock wallpaper and is endlessly stuck on "Pixel is Starting"? I know one time through a combination of rebooting I got it to work and boot again, but the last time it happened and this time I had to factory reset my device (Fully, not just a data wipe) and I want to know if it's my hardware or something I flashed? I do have the Hardware Off module and this never happened until after I flashed that module.

When this happens too data totally fails to decrypt, so I want to think it's the Hardware Off Module messing with encryption somehow, but idk.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
How did you "fully" reset your device? If you didn't fastboot flash a full factory image allowing a full wipe then you should go back and start there. If you already did that, I would run it rooted but no modules for a day or two. You probably already identified the culprit, but this would rule out/in a hardware issue and confirm the module was at fault.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] ryaniskira:
Other than the first time in which I managed to somehow get out of it, I flashed the full factory image to both slots along with issuing the commaand to format userdata.

​

It's been a long time I haven't posted here :D I apologize for all the PMs I haven't answered but there are loads of them. If you had a very important question try sending it again but no promise I will answer unfortunately :\

I've been using this as a personal Rom for some time but I thought I would share. And it's nice seeing there has been a lot of different cooked rom around here now, there is something for everyone !

Nothing really new here except my custom theme and the photo panel that now displays images from the storage car stored in My Documents\My pictures (where the pictures are saved by the camera). I found the file on koxo.cn.

I haven't noticed any particular bug (well apart from the usual wm 6.1 ones :D) since I've been using it (more than a month) but you never know so if you ever find a big one I'll try to correct it and update the rom.

And don't pay attention to the available storage in the ROM, it was an experiment, the phone worked but it wouldn't sync.. Too bad there was 20 MB more!

Here's the description :
