[ROOT ONLY] AA AIO TWEAKER - The ultimate Android Auto Utility

[shmykelsa]

Meet AA AIO TWEAKER, the new Swiss Army Knife for a less restrictive and more feature-ful Android Auto!

How do I use it?
Allow root access, choose what you want, reboot, and then forget about it

How does it work?

This app uses SQLite commands to override some flags related to Android Auto into the Google Play Services.

Google Play Services control a lot of features inside Android Auto. Some of them are core functionality of Android Auto, some of them are upcoming feature that are simply not yet released.

What this app does is making some SQLite queries in order to alter some features of Android Auto. It contains the trick inside AA Phenotype Patcher to patch custom apps in order to work in AA (and the same script is contained) and with the same principle it unlocks some other things in Android Auto.

Available commands (as of version 1.5):

• Patch for custom Android Auto apps
• Disable speed restrictions while driving (preview of messages will be shown always)
• Disable six tap limit (the banner asking to pay attention to road will not be shown anymore)
• Enable Assistant Shortcuts (you can learn more here: https://www.xda-developers.com/andr...llpaper-and-tests-google-assistant-shortcuts/)
• Enable assistant animation in navbar
• Disable launch of Navigator app at start
• Disable red outline on battery icon when Battery Saver is active
• Enable force Widescreen (or force disable it)
• Force statusbar to be black opaque
• Disable battery saver warning
• Enable MultiDisplay
• Set notification duration from 0ms to 20 seconds
• Set media notification duration (on the bar) to up to 15 minutes
• (BETA) Disable Bluetooth auto connect

Hopefully more to come

How is this different from AA Phenotype Patcher?
It just contains more features, the project is actually a fork of AA Phenotype Patcher, and share a lot of core functionality under the hood.

Can I use this app instead of AA Phenotype Patcher?
Yes you can, but if you have already patched apps with AA Phenotype Patcher, you can leave it like that and simply apply the other tweaks. This app won't check if the apps are already patched via AA Phenotype Patcher, so you won't have a green check status at the start.

How is this different from Sensible Android Auto: Xposed?
This app doesn't need Xposed, which in some cases is one more pain to have. Also, it should survive Android Auto updates (unless the flag are changed) without any user modification.

Can I use this app instead of Sensible Android Auto: Xposed?
Yes, you can. The functionaility is the same, the only "advantage" is not having to install Xposed to make it work. This app won't check if you have SAAX installed so you won't have a green check status at the start. If you are familiar with SAAX and you want to keep it, you may not want to disable speed limitation and six tap with this app.

Can the app be translated in my language?
Translations are open! If you feel like you may be able to translate the app in your language, join translations on Crowdin so that the app will be translated in your language, or simply wait for someone else that will translate the app.

• NEW: Wallpaper tweak! This tweak will activate the new wallpaper feature coming up in Android Auto.
• WARNING: If you are a user of Wallpapers For Android Auto. this tweak will break it unless you don't download version 3.0 that came out today.
• FIXED: Potential bug that did not fully reverted custom app patch of AA Phenotype Patcher. If you have issues with Custom App patch and you were a user of AA Phenotype Patcher, please de-activate and activate the tweak again.

It's super easy to use and you could take part of translating AA AIO TWEAKER in your own language!

• NEW: menu in upper toolbar will now show version of the app
• ENHANCED: Fermata Auto will now be on the upper part of the list if installed
• ENHANCED: Fixed some occasional bugs with patch custom app tweak
• ENHANCED: seekbar for the durations of notifications have now more margin to have a better handling

Version 1.6 Changelog:

• ENHANCED: Treshold of "force no widescreen" tweak is now higher. This should help on very high-res screens, as it was not working properly in some rare cases
• FIXED: Bug that made "Force no widescreen" tweak not work properly
• FIXED: Bug that named a trigger in database wrongly when applying force no widescreen mode. Applying the tweak now should now make sure that the app detects correclty if the tweak is applied or not
• FIXED: Some tutorials were very difficult to read because of size of windows. Now fixed.
• ENHANCED: "Disable navigation at start" logic has been tweaked to make sure the main database doesn't build the flags that make navigation open at start. Hopefully this will increase the ratio of Android Auto not starting navigation at first.

Please re-apply "Disable navigation at start" and report back to me if it fails sometimes (or maybe always) at making AA start in launcher.

• ENHANCED: Text on top of the app will now hint for long press for tutorial

Version 1.5 Changelog:

• NEW: Massive cleanup of code and optimized the SQL scripts to apply the tweaks. The scripts now respect the table schema of the database and errors in console regarding constraints are now solved. I would actually suggest first to revert all the tweaks (with the dedicated option on the top menu) to have a clean base, especially if you run into trouble with AA AIO Tweaker.
• NEW: App now has integrated tutorials! Just long tap on one of the buttons to find out what a tweak does!
• NEW: Multidisplay tweak. I'll let the tutorial explain it, it's very cool!
• NEW: Tweak to disable battery saver warning when using Android Auto
• ENHANCED: The logic to revert the tweaks has been revised and now the method should not fail in reverting the tweaks
• ENHANCED: The app won't clear anymore the log view on the bottom when applying more than one tweak. This will help me diagnosing bugs happening on a session.
• FIXED: A bug that reverted the wrong tweak when disabling force widescreen/no widescreen
• FIXED: Bluetooth tweak has been revised and should now be correctly applied

Version 1.4 Changelog:

• NEW: Disable bluetooth auto connect (BETA). This tweak should prevent the phone auto connecting to car's bluetooth when plugged in. This tweak is in BETA and could not work at all. Please report back if this works!
• FIXED: Bug resulting in a dialog asking to revert every tweak after the "about" dialog
• FIXED: Bug resulting in force widescreen/no widescreen tweaks not being recognized as applied after successfully applying them
• FIXED: Revert of force widescreen/no widescreen should now work as expected
• ENHANCED: Enabling force widescreen/no widescreen when force no widescreen/widescreen is already applied will result in a toast warning the user that the other of the two tweaks is being automatically revert (it wouldn't make sense to have both of them active)
• ENHANCED: About dialog will contain more infos about the app

Version 1.3 Changelog:

• NEW: Make sure the fragment holding the button is scrollable. This will help using the app on phones with very high density of screen (bigger dimensions)
• CHANGED: Revisited some texts on the buttons
• FIXED: An error with the tweak for increasing "media notification duration" overriding the tweak for "notification duration". Please reset to default both the media notification and message notification duration and set them again as desired, in case you applied the "media notification" tweak before.
• FIXED: Option to revert everything not having influence on patched apps tweak
• FIXED: A potential issue with the patch app trigger not being named correctly
• FIXED: Button for Assistant animation not being responsive after applying the tweak

Vesion 1.0
Initial release

 

[Eselter]

Seems like nice new app for android auto users. Thanks for your contribution, I will try it in car in near future

 

[sandor.vida.1986]

Patchable apps?

:good: This thing is really cool, thank you so much! :good:

Can someone tell me if I can add such apps like Racechrono, Track Addict, etc. to the allowed (patched) apps?

Since I have an unrooted pixel 2, and I wouldn't like to root it if pointless.

The patch app function will allow android auto-compatible apps to be shown on Android Auto. Whether it is a sideloaded music app, and for some reason you don't want to enable unknown sources in developer settings, or whether it's an app that uses the custom SDK (such as: Screen2Auto, Fermata Auto, CarStream etc.) this app has got you covered.

If the app you'd like to patch has no support to Android Auto, this tweaker won't help you gaining it.

Sorry for this. The fixed APK has been uploaded to the same download location. You might want to install it over the actual one.

Can I get some clarification, what does "patching" of Apps do? so I want app like Teams and Outlook to show up on the AA Screen but they don't when I select and patch them

Have I misunderstood this app

==========
allow android auto-compatible apps to be shown on Android Auto - How can u tell if it's auto compatible, I mean the ones which are supported anyways wont need to be patched since we can simply use them. My query was if its possible to put ANY app of choice on AA

 

[shmykelsa]

As said previously, there are certain sideloaded apps that don't come from the Play Store and they are disallowed by Google, and you cannot semply use them. The one I quoted, alongside others like OBD2AA, Widgets For Auto, AAStream, AAMirror, Performance Monitor etc. are specifically designed for Android Auto with a custom SDK.

My query was if its possible to put ANY app of choice on AA

No, it's not possible.

Hi. Could it be added to the functions, a bluetooth connection lock?
I use two cell phones, one fixed connected without having a sim card. and the other I want to have connected only by bluetooth to use hands-free.
I do not know if it is android auto or my head unit, but when I connect the cell phone by cable if or if I have to connect the bluetooth.
It would be a good function for those of us who use two cell phones.
Thank you
Alexander

For start, is your J730F rooted?

 

[Saponetto]

Yes, rooted... it currently runs Android 10, 32 bit, Sams Rom.
At now, I use Phenotype Patcher flawlessly, so I'm a bit curious...

Please contact me in private. I'll have to investigate deeper on the error.
