[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] alejandrob1:
Well it is a well known issue that smart switch can make a lot of trouble to your new phone. I'd strongly suggest you try to factory reset again, preferably from recovery and manually set it up, it I'll take time but you will notice the difference after the settling time pases. There should definitely be something software related. After using the phone for more than a year and read a lot of info on the subject, with most of the functions on and no tricky hacks, mine last a full day with 5 to 6 hours sot. If I use it from 8 am to say 11 pm, I can get from 6 to 7 hours sot. Hope it helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] carlstadtcarl:
Well I tried to turn off AOD but didn't get any improvements.

Right now is WhatsApp, and sometimes is Google Maps, Facebook, etc. Nothing unusual here. The percentage is also normal. Haven't tried run a phone in safe mode, but guess I can try.

I really don't think it's a hardware issue but of course I will take a phone for further diagnostics if I don't see any improvements in the next few days/weeks.

Didn't know Smart Switch is a well-known issue. Why do you think I should perform a factory reset again? I did manually set it up yesterday, only transferred contacts and sms through SS. Now all my apps are working properly, at least that is something I solved.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] alejandrob1:
Yeah this thing with Smart switch I witnessed since the note 20 ultra and again with the s22u. I think you should reset again specially if you didn't do it from the recovery menu, maybe you can first wipe cache from there and give it s try a few days and then the hard reset from there as last option.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] carlstadtcarl:
Quick update: I think the battery's life has some improvements. I lost only 5 % overnight (around 8 h of sleep). Previously my battery drained for 15-20 % in that period.

Yesterday around 3 PM I had 80 % after charging and now it's 31 % but also with light/moderate usage.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] carlstadtcarl:
Unfortunately, seems factory reset and not using Smart Switch for app transfer did not improve battery life.

Here are the stats after three days of using it:

View attachment 5884085View attachment 5884087

Health still looks good, but 5 h of SOT (20 % per hour) is unacceptable.

Yesterday battery temperature went to 40° C and I wasn't even using the phone, just felt the heat. No apps in the background, nothing. Very unusual.

Guess my only option now is to go to the service for further physical diagnostics.

Description

XLauncher Unlocked is a separate app, to unlock more features in your Android Auto app.

It can launch existing / hidden Android Auto screens with root / ADB commands.

Classic can be launched without root.

If using the Xposed module,

then it will also hook into an existing Android Auto function,

to run some additional code behind it,

to make some of the "installed as Google Play" checks always come back as valid,

which does not modify the AA app itself.

Due to the nature of the implementation of the features,

you should not have to be afraid of "having to wipe AA data to test".

Because no AA data is touched / no AA files are edited in a persistent way.

Default "launch option"

The "Set the next used launch option as default" check-mark can be used to

automatically launch the "launch option" behind the button you click after checking the check-mark.

After a default "launch option" is configured, the next times you open XLauncher Unlocked,

it will automatically open that "launch option" for you.

This works for every "launch option" (Classic, Material3, Debug options),

and can easily be re-configured by selecting another "launch option" with the check-mark still configured.

Clearing/resetting the usage of the default "launch option" is as easy as un-checking the check-mark

[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
New v2.0 release is out which added a bunch of launcher functions! 🎉

You can download it from GitHub: https://github.com/Rikj000/Android-Auto-XLauncher-Unlocked/releases/tag/v2.0
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
Thank you. Interesting app, I will have to play and investigate

I use PlayStore and Play Protect did not let me to install.

I could have to disable Play Protect but I repackaged your app and installed pretending it as it was installed by PlayStore (screenshot).

Now it runs ok and Play protect does not complain

I have just an observation about the main screen. Buttons don't fit to my display (probably since I use enlarged text) and there is no way to scroll and to read the cut-off part on the right side.

Screenshot attached

The other Material screens I tried were ok
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
Thank you for the feedback @zgfg 🙂

Just reworked the installation instructions,

now pointing users to KingInstaller to install the app.

I'll try to figure out a fix to make the UI display correctly on enlarged screens.

However, scrolling up/down appears to work when I enlarge my screen 👀
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
What's the difference between Classic, Default and Material3? Do you have screenshots?
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
Classic launches AA with the 'classic' design, Material3 with the Material 3 design - screenshots

I suppose Default can make Material to become default style for the future launches (not necessarily from this launcher) but I don't want to wipe AA data to test
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
Classic = The old / default user interface.

Material3 = The new / hidden / experimental user interface.

Check the attached files for comparison screenshots.
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
I cannot scroll left/right to read the cut-off text (yellow boxed on the screenshot), like Trouble..., Feedback repo ..
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
XLauncher Unlocked is a separate app which doesn't modify any Android Auto related things (files/settings).

It simply launches existing / hidden Android Auto screens with root / ADB commands.

And if using the Xposed module, then it will also hook into an existing Android Auto function,

to run some additional code behind it, to make some of the "installed as Google Play" checks always come back as valid, which does not modify the AA app itself.

The "Set the next used launch option as default" checkmark can be used to

automatically launch the "launch option" behind the button you click after checking the checkmark.

After a default "launch option" is configured, the next times you open XLauncher Unlocked,

it will automatically open that "launch option" for you.

[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
I know, you've reported this earlier, v2.0 is not optimized to handle screen enlargement.

Work Around - GUI cropped on enlarged screens

To make the GUI display correctly, please open your Settings app and go to:

Display => Display size and text => Display size => Reduce the size by a few clicks.

Restore the Display size again once you're done playing with XLauncher Unlocked

and once you have a default "launch option" configured.

[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
Thank you very much for the screenshots.

I thought the app will change the Android Auto view in the car. But the app changes the Android Auto phone app. Thank you very much for the clarification.
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
Maybe I missed in the menus... Is it possible to have the option to switch on/off CoolWalk view in the car

It is possible by AA AIO Tweaker but I don't know is it just some setting for AA or AIO Tweaker has to tweak the AA db
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
New v2.0.1 release is out which fixed the non-scroll-able Debug "launch options" section on enlarged screens! 🎉

You can download it from GitHub: https://github.com/Rikj000/Android-Auto-XLauncher-Unlocked/releases/tag/v2.0.1
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
It's not possible with AAXLU (Android Auto XLauncher Unlocked),

but afaik it should be as simple as renaming following file at

/data/data/com.google.android.projection.gearhead/files/phenotype/shared/

- From: com.google.android.projection.gearhead.pb

- To: com.google.android.projection.gearhead.pb.bak (Or smth similar, al long as the original "doesn't exist")

Then close Android Auto / reboot.

That file is at least what was required to make CoolWalk / TaskBar-Widgets work / appear on MicroG.
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
Thanks. Fixed in this v2.0.1
[Android Auto General] ph03n!x:
Thanks a million for this app/ Xposed module. All I needed was to make "unauthorized apps" to work, and until recently, the only way to do that was cumbersome phenotype.db edits with triggers (battery drain!) and wiping AA data.

Working perfectly for me, count me in for a follower/ tester/ anything I can do to help!
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
News/update, only for MicroG users:

aaxlu (v2.0.1) now comes pre-included with aa4mg (v0.6)

If you manually installed aaxlu before,

then please uninstall aaxlu, before you install aa4mg v0.6.
[Android Auto General] FredQ:
I think I must be missing something. I have root and the lsposed module installed etc. I have Screen2Auto installed but the app isn't visible in Android Auto. What are the steps to get third party apps to work? Thanks

Edit: more info. Have magisk, zygisk and lsposed module activated
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
S2A is by far the most restricted app.

I've posted all restrictions/by-passes which are within my knowledge in the S2A thread:

https://xdaforums.com/t/screen2auto...r-root-devices.4062787/page-147#post-88392893

With those steps I've been able to get S2A showing up reliably.
[Android Auto General] Cutprods:
Maybe I've missed something but what is the purpose of this app, other than to change the look of AA settings? What other 'hidden' features does it show, other than to be found in Developer settings? Thanks.
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
- Easily launch AA as any other app

- Launch Material3 by default

- Enable more 3th party apps

- Launch hidden AA debug screens (see screenshot in initial post for list of which)
[Android Auto General] Cutprods:
Thank you. So 'Easily launch AA as any other app', is for self-mode? What are 'Engineer settings' and what extras beyond Developer Settings do they include?
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
The AA icon tends to disappear in your app drawer in newer versions of it.

Which forces you to open the AA app through:

Settings => Connected Devices => Connection Preferences => Android Auto

Which is tedious.

With AAXLU,

you still have an app to easily directly open the AA settings app.

In a similar way like you would open any other app on your phone.

See the screenshot attached,

most interesting thing to look further into w engineering settings is the grayed out toggle.
[Android Auto General] ph03n!x:
Well, nothing changed in my phone.. And my S2A luck ran out 🤷‍♂️

I'll try to figure out how AA picks the blacklist from phenotype.db and intercept that using Xposed, but for now, looks like I do need triggers to make it work.
[Android Auto General] cakewalking:
Can this be installed on top of CalyxOS ?
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
I haven't tested,

but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Try it out, then you know.

The app does not mess with your AA settings/storage, so you can be at ease when testing.
[Android Auto General] voyager529:
@Rikj000 , you are a lifesaver! Do you have a Paypal/BMAC/Patreon link I can donate to?

I've spent the past week trying to make a thing happen, and I tried *everything*, and it didn't work, until I used your app.

My goal:

--Use an offline map application

--With Android Auto

--Without ever entering credentials for a Google Account into a phone

I'd gotten most of the way there; Sygic Maps and Here WeGo both fit the bill, and they worked when I tried the Android Auto emulator on my computer, and they'd even show up if I did that and immediately went to my car...but the app would *never* appear on the app list.

Your app + LSposed = exactly what i needed.

Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!

Does anyone know if you can use LSpatch to make this work? I've tried but had no luck
[Android Auto General] brubblu:
This is exactly what I'm thinking too. Is there any menu or toggle that enables what you mention here?

Unlock more 3th party Android Auto apps! (e.g. Fermata, OsmAnd, S2A, ...)

Because I don't really see it...

The documentation only says

Is it an automatic process? Every app installed as Google Play will be unlocked to be used on AA? That can't be right...
[Android Auto General] Xcaptain:
I have an FYT Android Headunit. Can I use this to have AA as my home launcher? Been trying to find a launcher that works, but none are actually as good as AA offers.
[Android Auto General] w744:
Hi, does this allow me to block android auto sending audio to my headunit ?
[Android Auto General] Tronje:
the same with me

this app does nothing, what gets me further - for me it's absolutely useless

(oneplus 9 pro, stock, rooted)
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
App still works fine with latest AA.

I blame PEBKAC of users that don't know how to enable LSPosed modules for individual apps.
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
Screenshots of how to configure in LSPosed because users are clearly missing this..
[Android Auto General] Tronje:
PEBKAC is nice, I didn't knew that before

But: Of course I enabled the module in LSPosed before and nothing happened.

Ok, I can change the style (classic or material) and now I have one extra symbol for AA.

But nothing else happens, no "Unlock more 3th party Android Auto apps! (e.g. Fermata, OsmAnd, S2A, ...)"
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
If AAXLU on it's own is not enough to make 3th party apps show up in AA.

Then checkout my post here:

https://xdaforums.com/t/screen2auto...r-root-devices.4062787/page-147#post-88392893

The post is written specifically for S2A, however it contains all currently known restrictions/by-passes that exist.

Following those steps, I've been able to enable every 3th party app that I've tried so far.
[Android Auto General] Tronje:
ok, I did it like you told, but no success

I'm not sure about the sequence - and which apps
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
Just to be sure, after enabling the AAXLU module in LSPosed,

you rebooted, to ensure that the changes are applied?

You must be doing smth wrong, because many users reported that AAXLU + the by-passes I've written out, work correctly.
[Android Auto General] ritzy306:
So can this app be downloaded without being rooted... can I download this app directly from the hesd unit without a USB drive I guess Is my question
[Android Auto General] miguel1981g:
Dear @Rikj000 and @zgfg

I think that, instead of using KingInstaller, someone may just do the following:

sudo pm install -i com.android.vending /data/local/tmp/AndroidAuto-XLauncherUnlocked-v2.0.1.apk

being the APP located at /data/local/tmp

Am I right or am I missing something?

Thank you for this post and all your valuable comments and experience.

Best regards
[Android Auto General] zgfg:
If phone is rooted (I always use root/install Magisk), install LSPosed and this app as LSPosed module and voila

But I still don't know do you really need this app and what for. There are other ways to launch AA and once you launch, you do the rest through AA settings

Anyway, I don't use Screen2Auto anymore (only Fermata - installed also as a Magisk module)

And AFAIK, Kinginstaller generally does the following:

- package renaming but that can be done on PC, by APK editor

- spoofing as if the app was installed from Playstore but that can be done from the PC by using eg PixelFlasher (even if you don't have Pixel, this feature works)

I've been posted some guide about a year ago (?), about installing Screen2Auto by those tools in the S2A theead
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
- Yes: This app can be downloaded / installed / used without being rooted,

albeit with limited functionality.

- No: This app can not be downloaded / installed / used directly on the head unit.

It's written to be downloaded / installed / used on your phone.

The latest AAXLU release should be downloaded from either:

- The official GitHub code repo (where I publish the releases):

https://github.com/Rikj000/Android-Auto-XLauncher-Unlocked/releases

- Through the IzzyOnDroid app repo for F-Droid:

https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.google.android.projection.gearhead.xunlocked
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
That's correct,

if you check the Enable if you use rooted (LineageOS) phone checkbox in KingInstaller,

it will do exactly that command for you, through an easier / portable UI.

I know, since I've written the code for it myself 😄

- Github/fcaronte/KingInstaller/MainActivity::installAsRoot()

- Github/fcaronte/KingInstaller/PullRequests/Feature-RootInstaller+UiRework
[Android Auto General] miguel1981g:
Thank you for your response. I finally installed Fermata with KingInstaller. As you said, I did not find any advantage of having AAXLU installed. Maybe @Rikj000 could kindly explain any unique advantage of AAXLU. Best regards.
[Android Auto General] miguel1981g:
Even though my phone is rooted, its OS is not LineageOS, and so I did not checked it when I used KingInstaller to install Fermata. By the way, Fermata is working OK, so I guess that checking that checkbox was not necessary. Am I right?
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
Unique advantages of AAXLU:

- You don't need Fermata (rather large app), to unlock 3th party apps on your head unit,

since AAXLU (rather small app) also ships with the same XPosed hooks as Fermata to unlock 3th party apps.

- You can access normally un-accessible screens of the android auto app on your phone (with root),

e.g. Material3 + various Debug screens.

- You can access android auto as a normal app (without navigating to the settings app first, without root)
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
The setting afaik should work on any rooted phone, but I only wrote / tested on LineageOS.
[Android Auto General] Tronje:
shame on me (Post no. 33)

At least I got it working on a OnePlus 9 Pro, stock, rooted.

Thanks for your support!
[Android Auto General] ShadowJP88:
Is it possible to run apps that isn't AA compatible?
[Android Auto General] Rikj000:
No: Not directly

I removed the car from AA so there is no previous attached car.

No result.
