Thanks but as I wrote, I have no problems with the split screen (specially, since it's my second/spare phone where it happens). As I described, I can tap and enlarge eg Fermata, S2A and its apps over the whole screen - hence no problem here

Besides, I don't want to disable Maps.
And btw, for easily disabling/enabling apps I use AirFrozen

Frankly, I was also stumbled first time with the Coolwalk UI, but later accustomed to

When I connect AA, it opens with split screen - Maps on the left (cca 70% of the screen) and YT Music card on the right

I tap to the Maps and it enlarges over the full screen

I tap left-down to the Apps icon and it opens in full screen

I open S2A - it opens with the full screen or if needed, I tap to enlarge S2A and to hide the (Maps or YT) card

Then I can open apps from S2A and use them again over the full screen

It's not that bad - few more taps here or there if I always want full screen or otherwise I can have a YT Music card on the right while working with S2A on the larger, left part of the screen

---

I read that by minimizing resolution (AA Developer settings) split screen can be suppressed (AA stops forcing split-screen on the too low resolution) but I don't want to affect the projection quality

How get YT music card?

Hey guys, I'm really sorry I've been out of touch lately. I've got a lot going on in my personal life, and honestly haven't even checked this thread lately.

To those who have messaged me about my method of getting S2A working with AIO Tweaker, I am so sorry I have not replied. Please don't think I'm ignoring you or being rude.

I'll post my method here. However, the last couple of days I'm having another problem with AA with AIO Tweaker, and hoping someone can shed some light to help me (I'll post about that in a separate post)?

*** How to fix Screen2Auto ***

To do this, you will need to use APK Editor Studio (https://qwertycube.com/apk-editor-studio). I've used the Linux version in Arch Linux (available in the Arch repos), I daresay it will work with the Windows and Mac versions as well. Other Linux distros may have it in their repos as well.

• Open the Screen2Auto APK in APK Editor Studio.
• Go to Tools -> Edit Application Title. Change the application title to anything you like - as long as it's not Screen2Auto.
• Go to Tools -> Clone APK. Change the package name to anything you like but make sure you change it entirely.
• Go to File -> Save APK, and save the APK to your hard drive somewhere. I would suggest not overwriting the original APK. You can quit APK Editor Studio now.
• Now, on your phone, uninstall any existing copy of Screen2Auto you have installed, and install the new APK file you just saved through APK Editor Studio.
• Load AIO Tweaker, and patch the new copy of Screen2Auto you installed. Reboot.
• You should now be able to access Screen2Auto through AA.

Your mileage may vary. I hope it works for you; good luck.

Hey guys - as I mentioned in my previous post, I'm having an issue at present with AIO Tweaker and S2A. If I have AIO Tweaker installed, and try to do any patches etc. to apps or AA with AIO Tweaker, AA will not start on my car screen.

AA will load, but my car screen will show a blank, black screen for a few seconds. The car screen will then turn slightly brighter (a very dark grey), then AA will quit and disconnect my phone from the car. I have to uninstall AIO Tweaker and S2A, and clear the app data for AA, then it will work again.

One other point is that if I load AA on my phone after doing this, the GUI for AA comes up in a dark theme, instead of the usual light theme with black text, and the options etc. available in the GUI seem to change. After clearing app data as above, the interface for AA reverts to normal.

Any ideas?

I basically did as you explained, but little different:
- used Windows version of APK Studio
-not only cloned but also renamed the S2A (no issue caused by renaming the app)
- installed the repackaged and renamed S2A by PF as a Market app, not using AIO Tweaker at all (the same should work by installing with: pm install -i "com.android.vending" <your S2A apk name>)

And for me S2A works like a charm

Yes, I think the issue is in the APK package name (eg com.some.apk.name). That's how S2A is detected and therefore disabled.

It strikes me as odd that they're so concerned about an app like S2A, yet there's interactive apps such as GameSnacks built into AA. SMH.

Forgive my ignorance but ...

Sorry but I don't quite understand. "Installing by PF as a Market app" - what is PF?

That's awesome you can get it working without AIO Tweaker. I'll try it again myself today if I get time and the motivation.

It's Pixel Flasher for Windows. There is a thread on XDA with download link

Although developed for flashing Pixels (like installing Magisk or upgrading the ROM with reinstalling Magisk), it has an option Install application (for all phones, not just Pixels - I used for successfully installing S2A for the use in AA on two my Xiaomi phones) as a Market app

Thanks for that. As luck would have it, I just happen to have a Pixel 3, so ... bonus.

I'll give it a go, thanks again.

A third different (and maybe easier) way of doing the same:
- Rename S2A package name through ApkRenamer (available on github).
- Install on the phone the new S2A apk renamed package (the warning message from Play Protect doesn't appear, so it is obvious it detects S2A via package name).
- Install AIO Tweaker and patch S2A ranemd package.
- Reboot and all works smoothly.

I don't see why is that easier but anyway - important that it works

Eg, PlayProtect also warns me about AIO Tweaker (ok, I could turn off Play Protect or repackage also AIO, etc), but generally I don't see any (other) advantage of using AIO Tweaker hence I avoid

There's an app called aaease that download a patched apk

You are right!
I thought you did through Android Studio and you do it throigh APKStudio, which is a smaller program. Android Studio is huge and ApkRenamer is tiny, That's why I said it was easier.
Anyway, the key is to change the package name and patch it with Aio Tweaker...

At this point, this does not seem to work. I have just this afternoon tried to rename both the app name and apk name through APK Editor (this is not the same as the full Android Studio), and patch with AIO Tweaker. However, S2A will not show up in Android Auto.

Here's how I got S2A working again just now; this is from a clean reinstall of my system (LOS 18.1):

EDIT: 26-04-2023 - Just made a few corrections to the steps

You will need:

• Android Auto APK
• AA AIO Tweaker
• Screen 2 Auto 3.6.4 APK
• APK Editor (it's available for Linux, Mac or Windows. I used the Linux version on Arch Linux)
• Phone rooted with Magisk (I'm using Pixel 3 running LineageOS 18.1, should work on others)
• LSPosed + Shamiko
• AA - XLauncher Unlocked
• King Installer

Here's how to do it:

• First use APK Editor to change the app title and clone the APKs for S2A and AA AIO Tweaker - ensure when cloning you change the APK name entirely. Save the modified APKs.
• Install Android Auto on your phone
• Install King Installer on your phone
• Load the LSPosed and Shamiko modules in Magisk, and reboot phone
• Install AA XLauncher Unlocked APK with King Installer
• Install the modified AA AIO Tweaker APK with King Installer
• Install the modified S2A APK with King Installer
• Open LSPosed and activate the AA XLauncher module, ensuring that Android Auto in the list of apps it shows is ticked (should be by default)
• Open AA AIO Tweaker, select the modified S2A APK, and patch it. Reboot phone
• After rebooting, open S2A and set up all permissions etc. Also go into "Other Settings" in S2A, go to "AA UNLOCK" and whitelist AA. Reboot phone
• You should be able to access S2A through AA.

For all you phenotype.db experts. I am running version 5.2.2 of the app on a pixel 7 pro.

Weird issue. Not at all blaming the app or that it even had anything to do with it. Just trying to see if someone might know what flag got set somehow.

On this phone Waze only shows 6 saved places. I setup my spare pixel 7 pro from scratch and I see all 20 saved places. I slowly added modules and apps and cannot reproduce the issue on this phone.

I have already uninstalled and reinstalled Waze did a revert AA AIO Tweaker on the problem phone. Before I start rebuilding my spare I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas first.

I will reset Google play services next.

Thanks in advanced.

No problems - did it work for you? Also I'm curious, what version of Android are you running? I've found it works fine on Android 11 (LineageOS 18.1) but not on Android 12.
