I have just now managed to get Screen2Auto working nicely - latest AA, and latest S2A (3.6.4).Running LineageOS 11 on Pixel 3, rooted with Magisk. I don't know if it will work on 12 or not.

I won't post here the full details of the method I used, only because of the very high chance it will be worked around, and the next we know it will stop working again. I'm really sorry about that - if I felt it was safe for me to describe how to do it, I would more than happily share - I'm not trying to be mean.

What I can say is I used a Linux program to modify the S2A APK, and I am using the latest AIO Tweaker (5.2.1). It was quite easy and only took a few seconds. No complicated editing of SQL files by hand or any such thing.

Shaunoleary,

Thanks for giving some hope that this can be done again. I understand your reluctance to spell out a solution with how aggressive google is getting at banning S2A.

My main reason for using S2A was I had a task integrated into my home screen through Kustom KLWP to open and close my garage doors from further away than the 50-100' that my car can trigger it. Now that I am using Homelink which integrates into Android Auto and has this functionality, I may try to get S2A working again for S&Gs...

Good work on finding a solution.

Cheers,
B.D.

I have an older AA AIO Tweaker v5.0.2 (even disabled aka frozen by pm) but today Play Protect started to warn that the app is harmful (screenshots attached)

I don't know if that is 'fixed" by the latest versions of AIO Tweaker?

Actually, my AA is already patched - I don't use Screen2Auto but only Fermata (to watch or better to say to listen YT on the head unit in the car)

Hence I think that I could safely uninstall AIO Tweaker (and temporarily install it again by also shortly disabling Play Protect only if/when I would have to tweak my Android Auto next time)

---

PS: Yeah, I've uninstalled AA AIO Tweaker and I checked, my AA still has Developer mode properly enabled (screenshot)

I'll test tomorrow if Fermata still works correctly in AA

Lol, Google really hasn't something better to do other than trying to block Android Auto's modding instead of actually making quality assurance on it and proper development. Not surprised though.

AA AIO TWEAKER was open source from day 1 and everyone can take a look at it and see what it does. It's pretty clear that it does not impact on device's security in any way.

Play Protect is one of the most useless features of Android, because it doesn't really scan apps, rather it's an act of censorship by Google. If Google doesn't like you, you make it to Play Protect's list.

I don't understand, I installed the new version but since then, Screen2auto doesn't work anymore, it doesn't display anymore :( Does anyone have any information about this problem?

Can you articulate better how it doesn't work?

Sorry everyone for double posting.

Hello,
I agree: third-party applications no longer work, we no longer see them in android auto launcher (obd2aa, carstream, aa mirror, sceen2auto...) even by reapplying the apps tweak.

May I know if just modify s2a a new name is OK ?or need to modify icon or some other file?thanks!

Hello. In version 5.2.2 the activation of the bluetooth does not work either. In 5.01 if it works perfect. Screen2auto has stopped working for me, but I read that the same thing happened to everyone. Is there any solution? Thank you

My Android Auto version is 8.9.630624 and I've got the latest AA AIO with root access granted but no matter what I try to apply I get the "not successful" error message.

Any idea what could be wrong?

Log for reference as an example of a failed attempt

That’s odd. You should be good by reverting everything within top right menu. Is it the first time using AA AIO TWEAKER?

Hey! Yeah first time using it. I don't need to revert anything back though because none of the tweaks would apply. I got this error every time.

Does the log give anything away? Any idea why my setup might be failing?

Has nothing to do with being first time user.
Not my first time and I encountered it too.
When it happens, nothing works, all you get is that error.
But the issue is not consistent, it does not always happen to me, although I must admit, it is more often than not.

Never had the issue with the previous versions.

The generic “command failed” is generic and can be related to multiple issues. In the case above, resetting everything should help.

Hello,

To install Screen2auto I used several versions of AA Aio tweaker, but it doesn't work with Android 9(the application is not visible in android auto). On the other hand it works well with AAAD, it's not supposed to be the same thing? in the future it will work again with aa aio tweaker?

Hey man, great work of your. Recently the app (or any other apps like AA Phenopatcher. AAAD, KingInstaller,etc) wouldn't work (adding 3rd party apps like S2A) on Android Auto 8.0.623314 (turned on the developer settings and unknown sources), keep in mind that the app previously worked on MIUI 10.2.5.0 (Now I'm on Lineage 19.1 with NikGapps Core and Android Auto Addon). Is it related to the Android Auto version or something, if it is then could you suggest me a working version. Thank you !

I modify the package name, still not working,I even think what did I do,again again ,install system,root phone,aaaio,aarase,aaad,install s2a with adb.all no working!
Sorry for delay in reply, I've had a hell of a lot going on.

The answer is yes. You'll need to modify the package name entirely. It can be done easily in Linux by editing the apk.

I changed the app name entirely as well. One week in and all going smooth.

    Hi all, back here after some time. I have now a Mazda3 2023 with Android Auto and interested in running Torque App. I have a Samsung S22 Ultra with Android 13 and OneUI 5.1.
    Any info regarding the compatibility of this Android with AA?
    Any clues and instructions on how to install Torque app with newer apps will be greatly appreciated since I wasn't paying attention to this matter since my last AA install back 2016 and feeling lost regarding what is working and what is not.
    Cheers all

    "Disable launch of Navigator app at start"
    Was this feature removed? I do not locate it in the apps lates version nor in github documentation?
    Im looking for a way to completely disable gmaps launching on AA so I can use it on S2A.
    That was a good option, yes.
    I do the same as you - use maps with S2A. To get that I launch waze (or other navigation) with AA. Next time AA is launched waze is opened in it by default. Then maps is free from AA and can be used with S2A.

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

    Screenshot_20201204-143755694.jpg
    Screenshot_20201204-143758706.jpg


    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.

    Heya!

    Earlier this week a big update has been released for AA AIO TWEAKER. Version 4.0 introduced the following changes:


    • NEW: Multi Account Mode! Since in the past few weeks it has been discovered that having too many Google Accounts stored in the device, if AA AIO TWEAKER finds a large number of accounts, it will now prompt the user to either choose which accounts the patch should be applied to or use all with an experimental way of applying the tweaks. This should successfully prevent the error "Could not open database".
    • NEW: Update checker! AA AIO TWEAKER will automatically check for updates at start and will prompt the user if a new version of AA AIO TWEAKER is available. Not applicable to older versions.
    • NEW: When copying logs a link will be created to a pastebin which will contain the log. Copying and pasting a very long text is not ideal and having them into pastebin is better for sharing them
    • NEW: Tweak for activating the new day/night toggle
    • NEW: Delete car tweak
    • IMPROVED: UI of splash screen
    • IMPROVED: AAStream will now be displayed on top of the apps list
    • IMPROVED: "Reboot to apply" button will not appear if tweak is not applied successfully
    • FIXED: Telemetry tweak inserting two identical rows
    • NEW: Every tweak that requires a seekbar interaction now has a button to bring back the seekbar to original value
    • FIXED: Potential bug with file management resulting in sqlite3 not properly copied to device
    • FIXED: Visual bug in showing the saved value of Agenda and Notification Duration tweaks
    • FIXED: Status indicator for alphabet jump tweak

    Version 4.0.1 is the latest and it has some bug fixes:


    • FIXED: copy of logs
    • FIXED: list of accounts in the account chooser activity
    • FIXED: potential crashes when showing the reboot button
    • FIXED: experimental mode of multi account will now be applied to day/night switch tweak too
    • IMPROVED: patching mechanism has been revisited further more, hopefully narrowing down database access errors
    • IMPROVED: Welcome screen is now centered and will scroll if needed :)

    As always, download is available on GitHub
