it could actually be that your system partition is full, that's why you got the error message. but if that isn't the issue and android auto is installed as a system app after reboot, it should work flawlessly. you only need to install google maps, the google app and google speech services manually. if you still getting problems, try and choose file transfer as the usb connection option (if you connect your phone with cable). and make sure android auto has all the permissions (especially microphone since it refuses to launch without it)

btw i flashed the zip with lineageos recovery too, it isn't a problem
[General Topics] D.u.G.:
hellcat50,

Thanks for responding. Interesting that you flashed with lineage recovery also...

Did you get no errors installing? Someone mentioned that to install google apps it needs to be done right after flashing the OS. Is this the way you installed?

In my case I had already installed the OS and apps before I saw your method - No clue how system partition could be full - as my phone has tons of space and only lineage and a few apps installed. It's basically a clean install.

Does it make sense for me to reflash OS and then magisk, and then Nikgapps before booting into OS? I don't want to do this if not necessary.

Also, can you elaborate a bit on what is "special" about Nikgapps-android-auto package that makes this work as opposed to just downloading android auto from Aurora?

Finally, I do have all the dependancy apps installed (gogole, tts, maps) and changing to file transfer does trigger android auto and shows connected on car and in app - but on the car it is stuck at something like "please complete setup on your phone.

As for permissions I will double check that mic has permissions. I did allow all permissions during setup.

Setup does seem to keep asking for google maps to have "location permissions" which I have made sure are on all the time.

Is there anything that you did to get by this location permissions other than making sure google maps has them? Google maps works fine.

The location modules I have in MicroG are the default ones, Mozilla location services and Nominatim address lookup modules. Any chance you have something different or additional?
[General Topics] hellcat50:
1. you don't need to reflash the rom. i installed the android auto package after i had already setup the system, just like you. as for the full system partition, it depends on the device how large the system partition is. you can check this with fx file explorer for example.

3. the special thing about this package is that it contains not only the android auto apk, but other library files that cannot be installed with just an apk. you can have a look at what files will be installed by opening the nikgapps package and inside the file AppSet/AndroidAuto/AndroidAuto.zip.

4. for the location thing, you just need to activate your location. you can ignore the warning, it should work anyways.

5. i use the same modules with microg, but you don't need them anyways as it works with or without these modules.

just a reminder that the nikgapps package needs to be flashed in order to get android auto fully working. without it you can only use android auto locally on your phone, and you get these car connection problems.

sorry but if you cannot flash the zip due to this error i can't help you. the only thing i could recommend to you is to try and flash other zips that modify the system partition, check if your system partition is actually full and/or ask the rom developers for assistance.
[General Topics] D.u.G.:
Ok,

I have checked and the /system partition is indeed full. Seems like lineageOs makes the /system partition about 1 gb, and then fills it....

Anyone know a way to increase / resize the system partition? Oneplus 8 pro with Lineage + microG rom installed....

flashed the modified zip with twrp on a new install on microg lineageOS 17.1. on a Zenfone 6. The android auto app appears for a few moments after restart in my app drawer but when i tried to access it the app closed and is now hidden. settings for AA are still available. when i plug it into my headunit i get a "No installed apps work with this usb accessory" warning. i have a logcat output but the biggest error seemed to be a wirelesscharging notifcation ogg file not found
[General Topics] AgeManning:
I also wanted this feature, pretty badly and have just been down a very long rabbit hole and managed to get it working.

Firstly, instead of modifying the Nikgapps, I built a custom package which only includes android auto here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ni...apps-aa-arm64-11-20210826-signed.zip/download

So you don't need to mess with any configuration files.

Now, the hard part was lack of sizing in the system partition after installing lineageOS + microg. I'm using a pixel 5 (redfin). The microg + lineageOS image doesn't leave any extra room to install gapps on the system partition once its flashed and installing the NikGapps package always fails. In order to leave some extra room on the system partition, I rebuilt the lineageOs + microg package from source, modifying the reserve partition size (https://github.com/LineageOS/androi...l/blob/lineage-18.1/BoardConfigLineage.mk#L63)

I removed the if clause around this (which checks for google mobile services) and had to decrease the reserve size down about 10MB (because with microg it makes the system partition too large to fit in the super partition).

After re-compiling lineageOS with microg (I can share the image (for pixel 5's) if anyone is interested) I flashed that, rebooted to recovery, flashed the Nikgapps and boom, everything is working as expected.

Although building android from source isn't a fun endeavor. For those with pixel 5's who want a lineageOS + microg rom with about 1g reserved on the system partition I can post the image I built.

@D.u.G. - Had a quick look. Looks like its a similar design for you. https://github.com/LineageOS/androi...tnoodlep/blob/lineage-18.1/BoardConfig.mk#L39

You could remove the if statements around this and build from source for your device. If the build fails, reduce the reserve size for system. Its kinda annoying to build tho.

For those of you with rooted devices: You can also just create a privapp stub by systemizing (magisk module) the stub apk found here. Then update AA from aurora store.

It works fine for me on Los 18.1 altough for some reason not all AA compatible apps show up. I also haven't found a mirroring app yet that works.
[General Topics] PanosT:
a) Is there any culprit on microg's privacy protections?

b) What version of AA is it and will it update? (I use Fork LOS 17.1 with microg)

c) Also how can i uninstall it afterwords?

I modified the file using 7zip, i tryed to flash it with PBRP 3.1.0 but no luck, says "invalid zip file format". any idea?

Xiaomi Redmi 3s 2GB - Fork LOS 17.1 with microg

Update, I installed the original zip from nickgapps without editing the file mentioned with pbrp 3.1.0 without a problem. Thing is, i don't see any icon in the app drawer but its there on settings, apps and i can enter settings of aa.

Is that the way it works? I haven't tried it in the car yet...

Update, i used this app mentioned above from hellcut

Android Auto for phone screens - Apps on Google Play

Must-have smart driving app with maps, media, messaging, and voice actions

play.google.com

AA now working on phone but i get the same message with user 36iii, "No installed apps work with this usb accessory".

Searching for a solution...
[General Topics] PanosT:
First I tried to modify the zip file but upon flasing i got an error also, somthing like "not a valid zip"...

Then I flashed the original nickgapps aa extra zip succesfully with pbrp but got no aa icon in the app drawer, then i flashed your zip but still same problem, no icon.

then i installed android auto for phone screens, mentioned above.

i got aa on phone but upon connection with car a get a message on phone "No installed apps work with this usb accessory".

a) is your zip file for aa for android 10 or it doesnt matter?

b) did i totally mest up my flos 17.1 + microg installation after all this flashing?

c) can i repear any damage?

d) is there a way to make it work in the car?

Thanx, i reposted to you hoping for an answer, because you seem to know what your doing...!

i think the latest android auto version of nikgapps is causing this issue. try and use the august 4th version (https://sourceforge.net/projects/ni...n-11-AndroidAuto-20210804-signed.zip/download)
[General Topics] PanosT:
I already tried, same issue...

Thing is when i mess with the file and re zip, i get error 2...
[General Topics] AgeManning:
In the settings of AA you can set it to accept apps from unknown sources and that should allow you see the extra apps.
[General Topics] AgeManning:
Hey. Yeah, sorry i forgot to mention, I built that aa version for android 11.

You can build your own version with the latest by following the guide here: https://github.com/nikgapps/config

This will build a custom suite of NikGApps. Essentially, in the configuration, I set everything to false and just included android auto.

The flashing should be fine. If I were you, I'd try remove any version of android auto from the phone (if an icon exists). Try and build your own NikGApps package for whatever android version you are using. And try re-flash that.

You shouldn't need to download android auto from any store, if the app icon doesn't appear, it seems its not working on your rom.

As a last resort (depending on how much you want it), I'd try re-flash your original rom (formatting your phone) and immediately after, flash the AA zip before booting into android.

If it works correctly, you should see an AA app icon, when entering, it will tell you you have to download gMaps and a few others apps. Download them from the store then limit their access. You may also have to enable unknown sources for apps in the AA settings. Once connected to your car it should work fine (at least it did for me).

Again, my setup is for Pixel 5, Lineage OS 18.1 android 11

This module is awesome but won't work in my case because of /data/ encrypted. Perhaps with adb sideload ?
[General Topics] Rikj000:
My phone is encrypted as well,

however the (unofficial) TWRP version I use,

allows to decrypt the phone,

which gives me the ability to use the module.
[General Topics] BIG_J_06:
Sad mine don't... (TWRP for Fairphone 4). Do you think it's better to disable encryption and wipe or wait for a new TWRP recovery ?
[General Topics] Rikj000:
That's a decision you'll need to make for your own.

No encryption is a big security risk,

if someone would be able to get their hands on your phone, they would be able to read out the data.

But are you a high profile target, at risk of someone messing w your phone?

Chances are unlikely.

For some reason I can't get the Chuppito mod of Waze to work no matter what I do. AA4MC 0.6.1, AA AIO Tweaker, installed Waze with King Installer (although I get app installed from King Installer in settings>apps>app details in store).

In AA I've enabled application mode developer and unknown sources. Waze is present in the launcher (along with Screen2Auto which seems to work) but when I try to open Waze it fails to launch and instead I get an error saying I need to update to a newer version of Android Auto, despite being on the latest update.

Has anyone come across this? I had it working at some point and now can't get it going, super annoying so any assistance would be much appreciated.

Hello everybody, xda-developers.com

I followed the instructions in #1 .

Wiped my Phone completely,

installed LOS 18 for my phone (TWRP)

installed installed the nikgapps AA addon for Android 11 with the script modification (which ist LOS 18)(TWRP))

Booted into system and installed the microG CoreGMS apk (via FDroid).

I can configure MicroG, but no hint, that there is AA installed.

Also installed the nikgapps AA addon for Android 11 again with TWRP after mircoG CoreGMS apk.

Still no luck.

When I USB-plug into my car, I get the message "Android Open Automotive Protocol - no compatible App installed"

How can I verify, that AA is really installed?

Do I have to configure something in MicroG settings (adding a Google account or something else, I did nothing with it, only installed it)?

Thank you
[General Topics] blumentopf75:
Maybe, I now know, whats the problem with the AndroidAuto addon from nikgapps. I decided to create my own nikGapps package. You can do this by forking the GitHub repo and modify the config-file. The name of the file was ...arm64...

Since I've got an older phone I ever had to install ARMv7 packages. At the moment I'm a bit confused, since the processor is an Exynos 7580, which should be a 64bit. But arm64 packages never worked.

Maybe I would find a AA zip for ARMv7...

Thanks @hellcat50 ! it works as descriped on my Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 (chiron) with micro-g (lineage based) 18.1 rom (also lineage based recovery)! I installed google-search, maps and tts via aurora store.

I don't see AA in App-Drawer (what is a feature IMHO), but can reach settings over: Settings - App - AA - advanced - "addition settings in the app".

When you missing some apps (in my case spotify) on car display you have to enable developer settings in AA (click multiple times on version in AA settings) and enable "unknown sources" there. reconnect to car. All apps should appear :)

I flashed LineageOS for microG (LineageOS with signature spoofing + microG) https://lineage.microg.org/

Nikgapps Android Auto add-on

Then from device, regular Aurora Store install of G Maps, G Speech service, and G search.

On second thought, those may as well be flashed taking them from Nikgapps.

In the code above, it's sufficient to set true in the first assignment

is_on_top_of_nikgapps() {
nikgapps_present=true

I think the trick there is the AA add-on. I could not for the life of me get AA to work when installed from Aurora Store on a Resurrection Remix + microG. I would always get "No apps work with this usb accessory". Now it just works.

[General Topics] undefinederror:
a) I could not downgrade via installing a different version via app store. I can't even find a way to uninstall the app for that matter.

b) why do you need to tamper with the zip? to change "nikgapps_functions.sh"? If so just open the zip on a pc, change the file, save and confirm you want the zip to be updated. What dialog you get depends on the OS. Or unzip, change the file and zip again.

Anyway, I downloaded an earlier version of the AA addon https://sourceforge.net/projects/ni...apps-Addon-11-AndroidAuto-signed.zip/download

that is the 6.2.610914-release for Android 11.

I have no idea how to know in advance which version that is. I looked on apkmirror around what time the apk for 6.3 what uploaded, and looked for the NikGapps addon that was uploaded around the same time.

Anyway, sideloaded that via adb and now all apps are working on the radio.

Hope it helps

is there a way to get arbitrary apps to use my car's display? For example AntennaPod or NewPipe?
[General Topics] undefinederror:
Yes there are ways to use on the radio apps that are not approved by google. Not every arbitrary app though.

A quick way to check that is by installing AA store, a store for installing apps (a predefined list of) and automatically patching them so that they appear on the AA drawer.

You could give it a try and see if you do see the installed apps on the drawer, and most importantly if you can run them on the radio. AFAIK AA past version 6.3 doesn't allow extraneous apps to run, reason why I (like many other) am holding off updating past 6.3ish version.

If you can run them on 7.0.6... then something has changed ever since I looked into it and I may be looking into it again.
