Hey there! :)

I simply can´t understand why Google has completely ditched the standalone app of AA - it is the single perfect solution for ALL cars which don´t have (and won´t have) native AA support (e.g. old cars). AND it was a perfect solution for my motorbike.

Is there absolutely no APK working anymore? Why is there not a single one successor or alternative that REALLY works?

In the Google Play Store, there are numerous other alternatives, and I have tried at least a dozen of them. In my personal opinion, all of them have unattractive interfaces, are hardly intuitive to use, making them unsuitable for the car, offer limited functionality, or in some cases, have almost outrageously high prices.

Really no solution in sight? :(
[Android Auto General] Cutprods:
Are you talking about self-mode, i.e. AA on the HU? Edit: Ah, I see you mean on your phone. All phones since Android 9 have AA built in, there's nothing to download and now Google has moved to driving mode in Maps, if you're just using your phone alone - hence the removal. You won't be able to run AA on any newer standalone phone now, without a workaround.

But there's plenty of places you can download the standalone apk, for older phones used with a HU, right up to very recent versions. Self-mode is possible but more of a hassle, since it's arse about tit to how AA is intended to be used, i.e on your phone projected to the HU. The app Headunit Reloaded will allow you to set that up. I had a play with that only two weeks ago, and easily found AA 11.5 apk to download too. Ran on my PX5 8.0 Oreo just fine - but as I say pointless for me really, I was just curious. HUR should run on your phone as well for that. And it's quite a simple matter to get AA working on older HUs - my 6 year HU never came with native AA. If your HU's original OEM and much older than that then well, that's where our Android HUs come in. My car's 18 years old with wireless AA present and correct ;)
[Android Auto General] greenlant:
Hey there!

Yes, I was talking about the on-phone usage (which is how AA worked up until two years ago). Driving mode is a joke in comparison, as e.g. there´s no native support for Spotify or other apps anymore, it´s just working as a launcher and launches the other app while minimizing maps.

HUR is a hazzle as well - I´ve tried it out several times and there are always problems with scaling, freezes and shutdowns (see reviews within playstore). Doesn´t work properly on my Samsung S23 Ultra, didn´t work on my S22...

"You won't be able to run AA on any newer standalone phone now, without a workaround." - and this is what I really don´t understand. Why is there not a single one successor/alternative that really works well? And why did google ditch this concept in the first place? It was working in older cars (without any workarounds, side apps or secondary screens besides your phone), motorbikes and bicycles.

[General Questions and Answers] Marvolo1590:
Hi forum,

I have the following problem: I wanted to try out Apple's iPhone for the very first time after over 20 years of Android usage. I'm from Europe, so like everyone else, I'm using WhatsApp as the default messenger.

I have had my current phone number since about 2019 or so, can't remember.

Ergo, I have WhatsApp chats with several contacts reaching back to when I got that number. To transfer all these chats over to the iPhone, after a lot of research, I found MobileTrans Wondershare [mod edit; hyperlink removed]. It cost me a couple bucks, but I was looking for a safe and secure way and I didn't want to lose any memories/chats, so it was worth it.

The transfer from WhatsApp Android to WhatsApp iPhone went flawlessly. With the exception of the phone call logs, for some reason, they didn't transfer. Everything else did.

After testing the iPhone for 3 months, it was time to send it back (it was just a trial order to test it). So, of course, I wanted to transfer all those new WhatsApp chats that were created since using the iPhone back to Android again. So I used the above software again.

At first, it seems as if everything went well again. But if I take a closer look, the following peculiarity shows:

All chats that are older than the point of time when I migrated them over to the iPhone (ergo everything before I transferred them to the iPhone) now only show my own messages, however, the answers of the respective chat partners are now gone, except when they were quoting something.

This didn't show on the iPhone transfer, so I assume something must have gone wrong during the transfer back to Android. Luckily I have a manual chat backup from the point of time before I started migrating everything to the iPhone which I could restore, but then I would be losing all the messages that were created up until now. Unfortunately, I do not have a backup from the iPhone chats right before I transferred them back to Android any longer.

So the following problem:

Chat backup on my computer (WhatsApp folder containing all media, databases, etc) from right before I transferred everything over to the iPhone (January 2024).

Current backup on my Google Drive, containing everything up to today but seeming to be faulty because all messages that were created before the iPhone transfer are now compromised and only show my own messages but not the ones from the respective chat partners.

Is there a way to use the January-2024-backup and just insert the new messages that were created since then up until today?

The software chain mentioned above even has an option to do that, supposedly, but since it messed up my chats during the transfer back to Android, I'm now hesitant to use it again.

Those old chats are like (digital) memories. I wouldn't want to lose them. I could give up on the new ones since January up until today, but only if there was no other way.

Thanks a lot!

[General Questions and Answers] automorphism88:
Since Android 9, FBE has supported not only encrypting file contents and filenames, but all metadata. This is implemented by using a default key to encrypt everything except the superblock which is not encrypted with a directory-based fscrypt key. This allows encrypting all metadata without the performance overhead associated with running FBE on top of FDE. Source: https://source.android.com/docs/security/features/encryption/metadata

What I am looking for is a way to set up this form of encryption on an external USB flash drive (or SD card, or really any block device), with the key stored somewhere it can be backed up, so the data stored on the filesystem can be accessed from another Android device or from a Linux desktop, with access to the appropriate keyfile or password. Apart from the linked website, which isn't helpful for what I am trying to set up, all the documentation I can find on F2FS encryption (e.g. Arch wiki) involves the fscrypt kind, that encrypts file contents and filenames only. There is no mention of this in the man pages for f2fs-tools or the kernel documentation, and Google only turns up mailing list posts from 2020 when Google originally submitted the patches to the upstream kernel (and I understand they ended up being merged in a different form, so that encryption information is stored in the superblock and no mount option is required).

My use case for this is a device which is rooted, but does not have dm_crypt support enabled in the kernel. On another device which does have dm_crypt enabled, and has an SD card, the SD card is encrypted with LUKS, and then formatted with unencrypted F2FS on top. Separate key slots allow unlocking either with a keyfile stored in internal storage or a recovery passphrase. Thus the SD card is encrypted, but in such a way that the contents can be recovered on another machine if the device fails. I am looking to replicate this setup without LUKS/dm-crypt. Separate key slots are not necessary, since I could just as easily have encrypted the on-device keyfile with the recovery passphrase and backed it up. But being able to read the filesystem on another Linux device is required.

I'm sure the kernel could be recompiled with dm_crypt support enabled, but this would be a major pain to keep up to date. Surely there must be a way to use what is already in the kernel, and automatically being used for internal storage.

In Windows Mobile 2003 or later if you choose to save a password for a site for example your Outlook Web Access, there is no way to delete the saved password from the GUI.

but now i can't restore it . pls someone help
[OnePlus 9] Z-Blade:
Download the MSM Tool for EU and just use that to restore it to OOS 11 for the EU variant. Also, don't just 'try' flashing different variants of the OS, its a good way to break your phone. Unless you are confident you know how to return back to the right OS version or happy to have a phone as a paper weight, don't go flashing things you don't know what the results will be.

i think his followed some of the tutorials where you have to come back from the black screen of death, i had the same issue years ago and had to flash op9 pro msm tool just to get the phone to boot in the first place, like the above mentioned though now that you have flashed 9pro firmware you should be able to use the 9's EU firmware without dramas id hope.
[OnePlus 9] Z-Blade:
That would be true, but he said he wanted to downgrade and couldn't find the EU version. I assuming he means he couldn't find the EU version of MSM Tool. You could be right, he did not give much info.

Even though the phone is unlocked, your carrier might need to activate it on their network. Contact Verizon or Visible customer support and explain the situation. They can help you with activation and troubleshoot any network issues specific to their service.

Hello, I want to properly recompile systemui for Android 7.0 AOSP (avd). I rooted my avd with magisk and extracted both:

/system/priv-app/SystemUI/SystemUI.apk
/system/framework/framework-res.apk

So I did all commands as usual when I was repacking other apks.

apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool if SystemUI.apk
apktool d SystemUI.apk
apktool b SystemUI
zipalign -p -f -v 4 SystemUI_new.apk SystemUI_align.apk

And then I replaced the apk using

sudo mount -o loop,rw ~/Android/Sdk/system-images/android-24/default/x86_64/system.img /mnt/aosp
sudo cp SystemUI_align.apk /mnt/aosp/priv-app/SystemUI/SystemUI.apk
sudo umount /mnt/aosp

I always end with black home screen, no status bar etc.

Extremely old versions might not work properly on newer Android versions due to incompatibility issues. You can go as far back as 2011, but consider versions from around 2017-2018. These might offer a balance between functionality and potential security concerns.
