[HTC Wings] draven187:
I work for a company where they use 50 of these phone's most of them have a huge memory problem that I couldn't solve alone as with HTC. I tried some official update's and patches from HTC no success..

The main problem is that when opening a app or message it consumes memory.. by closing the app of message it returns half of the memory consumed. By opening the app or message it takes al the memory al over again en by closing it, I get half of it back..

Does anyone know a solution for this problem?
[HTC Wings] spone1:
There is a tool called 'Oxios Hibernate', which frees unused memory :)
[HTC Wings] draven187:
Thnx.. I shall give it a shot....
[HTC Wings] Basnelders:
And, as you can read in several other posts concerning this problem, you can make a head start by choosing another homescreen instead of the default...

It will free about 4 Mb more at start-up, mine has appr. 18 Mb now..

Using this in combination with the oxios hibernate and oxios closeapps (both freeware) will keep the phone clean enough for normal use..:)
[Magisk] Quark Thonos:
Yea,

i mean that them would be usefull. it costs nothing to add them in a zip in releases tab.

Else everytime a new magisk release comes out i need to compile them...

Also is there a difference on using the same folder (arm64-v8a) on any phone or does every phone have custom folder (x86_64, x86, arm64-v8a or armeabi-v7a)?
[Magisk] V0latyle:
John Wu only develops Magisk - that's it. There's a reason why he doesn't bundle any modules with Magisk, although I forget what it is.

I'm not sure what you mean by "folder" but you need to use the appropriate architecture for your device. Most are arm64.
[Magisk] Quark Thonos:
Yes, i solved architecture issue...

Just asking why binaries cannot be included with the releases...
[Magisk] Quark Thonos:
Also, i am working on boot_patch.sh script but i need to know when to use these parameters :

KEEPVERITY, KEEPFORCEENCRYPT, PATCHVBMETAFLAG, RECOVERYMODE

i know when to use KEEPFORCEENCRYPT by just checking "adb shell getprop | find 'ro.crypto.state'"

PATCHVBMETAFLAG just check if vbmeta.img exists (right?)

and KEEPVERITY just in boot.img headers

same for RECOVERYMODE for ramdisk right?

Hello everyone!

I want to know how can we install Xposed in EFTSU base rooted device?
[Android Head-Units] Shimmii:
I cannot find the difference between self-mode and USB connection for Headunit Reloaded. Is anyone able to explain the difference?

Also, I have AA 8.7 Coolwalk on my phone but not on Headunit Reloaded. Is there Coolwalk yet for Headunit Reloaded?
[Android Head-Units] LaurenDanielle:
Self mode runs as stand-alone without connection to a phone. It uses the built in Android Auto of a device, basically connecting to itself.

USB mode connects to your phone, the standard way you would connect to Android auto.

Self mode allows you to run Android auto on your phone without a headunit. Like you used to be able to before Google removed that feature.

Edit: As long as the AA version you are using supports cool walk, it will output the new features to Headunit Reloaded. Since HU Reloaded is just a receiver for the transmission, there is no change required on that end. Cool walk works fine on the latest version of HUR, if the phone transmitting has coolwalk.
[Android Head-Units] Shimmii:
Thanks, that is precisely what I needed to know.

I can't install or update google play or and other app on my freshly reflashed S3 mini. I get "error no connection" when I try.

It happens on clean fresh firmware and also happened on last stock firmware. I've tried to clean app data and cache and also clean Dalvik but nothing has solved the problem.

Any idea how to solve it?

[General Questions and Answers] paitken-81:
Hi,

I am new to programming and have been self learning c++ for the last few weeks. So far I have only coded command line programmes but would like to start creating some wm programmes.

I have searched the forum and read the various threads relating to ‘beginners guide to wm programming’ etc. from what I have read it doesn’t seem to be the most straight forward process in the world. To get started I think I need to find some win32 API tutorials, download eVC 4 (I’m not a student and not willing to buy visual studio 2005 or 2008) and start playing.

I have also been browsing the web and found some interesting alternatives; Qt and FBA. Has anybody used these? And are they any good?

Any advice which can make this learning process easier would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks. :)

[Android Auto General] Bladinium:
Hello,

I have a Citroën C4 Picasso 2 with a 10'. screen but with Android Auto the bottom bar and icons are huge! I am looking for a way to reduce it (SQL or Xml or application?)

I used to use Extra aa with substratum but it doesn't work anymore.

I was told to check with the Odb2aa application but it does not exist anymore....

so I'm looking for a solution, even if in SQL or XML I don't care, I just want to reduce the size of the icons and the bar.

S8+ android custom minimal root.

Thanks in advance
[Android Auto General] Straight_OG:
Get the AA WIRELESS DONGLE.

and download the companion app , on the app you can access a few settings. One of them being to change dpi
[Android Auto General] Bladinium:
Hello, thank you for your answer.

I don't need the wireless dongle, I have a dedicated tel in the car (for screen2auto)

Another idea that doesn't require a 100$ investment?
[Android Auto General] Straight_OG:
Okay I see , i wouldn't have any other suggestions besides maybe trying AA mirror or the plus version . I didn't think they were that expensive , I got mine relatively cheap . But I agree wouldn't want to spend 100 bucks on that .

Or perhaps reverting to a previous version of the app?
[Android Auto General] matrixx1:
actually there is an updated version of obd2aa whihc might work with wired AA. Try to install it also maybe with King Installer or aaease. it should work theoretically if you dont have ColorOs. Xiaomi Os, etc kind of chinese SW
[Android Auto General] Buhoberciano:
Hello, I join the request of my colleague @Bladinium since I also use a phone exclusively for screen2auto and I would like to reduce the size of the bar and since they do not resume the development of EXTRAS FOR AA, look for another solution...
[Android Auto General] Bladinium:
Hi,

I used ODB2AA to reduce the DPI, no need for Torque.

I just have a problem that I'm trying to fix, it doesn't connect every time

Odb2AA asks for permission to replace android auto.
[Android Auto General] Buhoberciano:
Hi @Bladinium ,

but did you manage to modify the dpi to reduce the size of the bar?

What DPI parameter should be set to reduce?
[Android Auto General] Bladinium:
Yes, i have Set 102 dpi with new coolwalk i have the bar in left. The result done Size bar +- 10px
[Android Auto General] Buhoberciano:
ok, thanks, i will try that setup
[Android Auto General] brianthangathurai:
Worked for me as well!
[Android Auto General] Buhoberciano:
Hello, could you tell me the steps to follow, I have installed with kinginstaller but AA does not open in the car. What version of obd2aa is it? 3.6a?

thank you.
[Android Auto General] bogdanmorarumihai:
Can you tell us how did you do it?
[Android Auto General] pnsdhrn:
I have changed the resolution to 720x800 which is the lowest available in my Samsung Fold2.This done in the Developer settings of Android Auto.Now I am getting Coolwalk.Also in my Nokia 6.1, I changed the Smallest Width in the Display Settings to the lowest and enabled Tablet Mode in the Developer settings.Now I can link the Nokia 6.1 with my primary phone in WhatsApp.
[Android Auto General] Bladinium:
For the step :

Install AA

Install ODB2AA and parameter 102 dpi (for me)

On connect in car, u have choise "Android Auto" or "Odb2aa" select odb2aa.

the problem I have is that it only works once, after that I can't restart odb2aa, I have to remove the usb cable several times to hope that it will start again :(
[Android Auto General] fralapo22:
Thank you very much for your help, I have installed obd2aa v.3.6a via kinginstaler and started AA and got a message to use AA or obd2aa, selected obd2aa, it seems to be running but no obd2aa option screen appears on the screen of the car (I attach an image so you can see that it is running), I am using a Samsung A33 smartphone with Android 13, you know what may be happening.

It is that I need to change the DPI in AA to try to take more advantage of the car's screen and the AA taskbar appears vertically, I am working with coolwalk.

Thanks in advance for your help.
[Android Auto General] fralapo22:

[Android Auto General] fralapo22:
Good afternoon, sorry to bother you. I'll get in touch with you because I've seen that you also tried to change DPIS in AA, I'm trying to change it in AA v9.6.xx with OBD2AA V3.6a with Samsung A33 with Android 13 and no I get nothing, in the end you could do it.

Could you tell me WhatsApp it is the Last version of obd2aa.

Thanks.and kind regards.
[Android Auto General] matrixx1:
Hi check this thread: OBD2AA - xda forum. by the way there is also a new kinginstaller which supports the chinese based OS like ColorOS, etc. ( hXXps://github.com/fcaronte/KingInstaller )
[Android Auto General] matrixx1:
Hi I havent used OBD2AA app for years, because I use wireless AA. To change DPI there are more ways. You could download and use Headunit Reloaded from the same author, or if you have factory headunit, then again from this author there is a piece of HW called WirelessAA which youc an order and make the AA in your car wireless. In both of the above mentioned cases you have the possibility to change DPI according to your taste.
[Android Auto General] fralapo22:
Thank you very much for your answer I appreciate it greatly, I know what you are saying and it is developed as obd2aa by Emil, the problem with HUR(Head Unit Reloaded) is that you need to have a unit with Android in the car that is not my case and the I know because I used it for many years and you can also use the AAwireless dongle that has an option that also changes the DPIS, but I spent almost €100 for it, when I don't need it, because I already have via cable and wireless AA and Carplay the solution integrated in my car, it does not seem like a good idea to me. That is why I was looking for a tool like obd2aa and knowing the products that Emil develops, it seemed to me that it could be worth it and as you said that there was a more modern version than v3.6a that I know of and that I have used, that is why I wrote to you to use it and try, well, as you know, obd2aa has been discontinued since November 2022, said by Emil and I thought that maybe someone used the code that Emil released. I will try what you told me. very thankful.
[Android Auto General] DLloyd:
Can you let me know the steps to change dpi? I've changed it in the ODB2AA app preferences but nothing changes in AA. Thanks
[Android Auto General] fralapo22:
I am using OBD2AA for to change DPI in AA 10.0 with Android 13 in Samsung A33 5G and I have not installed Torque and working perfectly.
[Android Auto General] fralapo22:
in setup of obd2aa in preferences you have to put ON the option alter dpi and change dpi put the value that you want, for example I have 115, so that the taskbar/applications appear vertically, the rest of the options are off. and in Cars Bluetooth select the device to which you are going to connect.

in android auto you have to mark start server of the main unit, it is in the upper right corner, third option, this menu will appear once you have clicked on the android auto version 10 times.

when AA starts you will get two options and OBD2AA marks always.

The connection must be made via USB cable, it does not work via Wi-Fi.
[Android Auto General] DLloyd:
Sounds like the same steps I've followed. I'll uninstall and try again without torque installed. Thanks
[Android Auto General] fralapo22:
Today AA has updated me to 10.1.xxx and obd2aa works perfectly with the steps that I have told you, the only thing I do not have installed is Torque and version 3.6A of obd2aa. Clear data and cache of AA.
[Android Auto General] DLloyd:
Hi. I have AA 10, ODB2AA seems to start on my phone when I connect to the car via USB, but nothing appears on my head unit after selecting "always" for ODB2AA
[Android Auto General] fralapo22:
The two options AA or OBD2AA should appear on the phone, not on the Head Unit. In the Head Unit, which I understand is an Android device, AA should already appear with the DPIS configuration that you have selected in OBD2AA preferences.
[Android Auto General] fralapo22:
I think I know why it doesn't work if you use obd2aa with a Head Unit here, it explains it clearly

Option 1 – Will work on any phone and car/head unit combination, however the following features will not work: - Auto play music, 6 touch limit remover, DPI change

After installing the XDA Labs app, sign up for the beta test here: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/uk.co.boconi.emil.obd2aa and update the app

Once the app is updated, make sure to turn off automatic updating in the PlayStore, then uninstall and reinstall it from XDA Labs.

With the screen unlocked, connect the phone to the car, when asked which app to use, make sure to select "Android
[Android Auto General] fralapo22:
Have you tried using HUR installed on your Android unit, I'm telling you because this application includes the DPIS change and it works very very well and is from the same developer as obd2aa.
[Android Auto General] DLloyd:
Yes, options show on the phone but after selecting ODB2AA "always" nothing appears on the head unit

I appreciate your help, but I'm not sure what your are suggesting. I have ODB2AA v3.6a installed. XDA Labs links isn't available any more
[Android Auto General] fralapo22:
I am telling you what the developer Emil said on XDA and here you have it, it works for me because I don't have Head Unit, which is the second option that the developer says in his link and makes it clear that the DPI change option does not work in Head Unit option 1.

[Android Auto General] fralapo22:
I have limited myself to telling you what the developer said on 11-30-2022, I have given you the link so that you can see it yourself. It works for me because I don't have a Head Unit and therefore I am using option 2 and you are in option 1 that has limited Change DPI.
[Android Auto General] DLloyd:
Thanks. I've run through those instructions but since the app dev is closed I can't buy the right version, maybe I'm using the wrong version. Cheers
[Android Auto General] fralapo22:
The latest version available is v3.6a, there is no other. It was the last one that Emil took out.

If you allow me some advice, I would try installing HUR on your Android Head Unit, I think I told you that said software is from the same developer as obd2aa and also includes DPI change and on top of that it has developer support and has a trial version to try Or if you don't write to the developer before buying it and tell him the model brand of your Android Head Unit and he will tell you if HUR would work.

I'm sorry I couldn't help you more.

I have solved the problem and it works perfectly again. Problem with the Services of Google.
[Android Auto General] Blawwdi:
Hello, sorry I'm not very consistent!

I've been using ODBIIAA for years now! But in a very specific setup:

Rooted phone (so that the phone turns on when charging, thus when the car starts)

Lightweight OS

ODBIIAA (solely for changing the DPI)

Recent Android Auto

MacroDroid which turns off the phone after 10 minutes without power.

From my experience over 10 years:

You need a good cable and no play in the connectors.

You often need to try twice; if the first connection fails, unplug and replug the USB cable. It generally works on the second try. (this is the only thing that really bothers me)
[Android Auto General] fralapo22:
Thank you very much Blawwdi, I am using odb2aa without root on the phone, with Android 14 on Samsung A33 5G and AA 12.0.xxx The only problem I have that I have not been able to solve is because from time to time it is working perfectly and it disconnects, you know because it can be and there is a way to avoid it.

[Android Auto General] Blawwdi:
Check for any play in the cable (find a way to secure it if there is any). Check the battery saver. For Samsung, also check the phone's temperature.

I use AA, ODB2AA, and Fermata, and my phone often exceeds 43° with these applications. So, I found a solution to cool it down because above 45°, the phone can restart or close applications.

But I think the cable problem is more likely, as it is very sensitive
[Android Auto General] fralapo22:
Thank you very much for your suggestions, battery saving for obd2aa or for what application. I always use the same cable so it surprises me that there are times it disconnects and other times it doesn't.
[Android Auto General] fralapo22:
What I have noticed is that it works much better if you clear the cache of Google Play Services and Android Auto and it always enters the first time and does not stop.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
This problem happens on many devices, and unfortunately the only way to fix it is to get the device repaired. Usually this happens because some sort of hardware/firmware error on the board prevents the bootloader from starting; while it is possible to obtain the Qualcomm programming tools necessary to fix the problem, those tools require special images to reflash the device, and those images are not publicly available. Even mobile repair centers do not have these tools, and will generally just replace the mainboard.

Basically the title. I have no clue why but it always starts in night mode. Both Waze and Google Maps. I've tried everything I can think of. I can manually switch it to day but if its on auto it always is night mode.

It works fine in my other car with a factory head unit but in the one with the aftermarket it doesn't. The screen does dim when I turn the lights on which leads me to believe its some setting somewhere i'm overlooking. Maybe in the advanced settings menu that requires code 16176699 or something?
