I don't understand,
Samsung S8+ android 9

Android Auto 8.8.6304
Screen2auto 3.6.4
AA tweaker 5.2


I install :
Android auto, I activate the debug mode and unconfirmed sources.
I install Aa Aio tweaker and I patch the apps (screen2auto)
I restart
I launch SC2Auto to activate the permissions
I launch Android auto, but no SC2Auto...

I tried in every possible way, impossible to make SC2A work ?

I have two phones: one rooted, one non-rooted. Both work with screen2auto, fermata, carstream, etc. In my experience, problems are usually related to the health of the phone and garbage in the system. Best to wipe the phone to factory settings (reset) and install everything from scratch. I recommend doing this at least once a year. Everything runs smoothly.

I use AAAD and AAEase - both solutions are effective, although AAEase on a rooted phone does not download the application.

This is an example photo. It doesn't matter if it's AAStream or another program - AAEase doesn't download any. I personally use Screen2auto.

So I just found this, use at your own risk, you are granting this app permission to start screen recording without prompting. No root required.

adb shell appops set ru.inceptive.screentwoauto PROJECT_MEDIA allow

I just tested this on my Note 10+ running android 10 and there are no more prompts to allow recording when you start s2a.

to undo it:
adb shell appops set ru.inceptive.screentwoauto PROJECT_MEDIA ignore

Again, I'm just giving you the command, whether you trust s2a is up to you.
Pixel 6a rooted A13. Was never asked about project/authorize the screen. S2A works and I even can change backgrounds but clicking on software results in nothing. It launches on the phone though. Was trying the above and I get the following error: Error: No UID for ru.inceptive.screentwoauto in user 0. how do i overcome this?


May main and only reason is running JBV1 with display in AA.

Has anyone else had any luck getting JBV1 to work in AA?

Update;

Reflags to stock A13 and used AAAD and it works. I can see JBV1 unroofed on android 13 .

The only issue is I have to acknowledge the screen projection question every time I click on S2a or S2a launches any app.

Didn’t get a chance to retry the and command above but if it doesn’t work how else can I get that question to not pop up?

TL; DR :
So everything works currently unrooted A13 .
How do I get screen projection to stick and not have to answer every time?

The command you quoted is how you get rid of the popup message.
I think it's named something different if you installed with AAEASE. Look in Storage/emulated/0/Android/data

Hello. It also stopped working for me and I can't find the solution.

I'm on A13 with root using the latest APK for AA v9.xxx
I installed S2A latest file but it doesn't appear on AA menu. Any ideas?? Is there anything to do to S2A appears on AA??
You must install s2a with a changed name. Some use king installer, some use AAAD, some use AAEASE. Google recognizes the app otherwise.

    Hi, I'm looking for a vmos version with a modified netflix apk that works
    I don't know what vmos is.
    However, if your on Android 10, Netflix version 7.99.0 build 14 35427 works with Screen2Auto.
    Otherwise I don't think so, as newer Android versions block the DRM mirroring. Doesn't work on my Pixel 6 Pro on Android 12.

    Still works on my rooted Moto Ace 5g on Android 10.

    Hi there,

    I haven't, where could I find that app please?

    Edit: This may not work properly anymore. I just updated my spare OnePlus 9 to Android 12, and screen to Auto was no longer working. Could not get it to show up on Android auto after reinstalling with AAEASE.
    Had to do some of the steps in this post. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...g-only-for-root-devices.4062787/post-88392893
    I just edited the name with with MTManager, installed and it's working again. Unrooted OnePlus9.

    Is this expected behavior? I am experiencing the same thing with 3.7.
    That's Google doing that. Likely because the app was named something different.

    To fix this you have to send an ADB command to your phone using a PC.
    "Adb shell appops set ru.inceptive."whateveryounamedtheapp" PROJECT_MEDIA allow

    So touch is working for me great on non root phone however I am sure curious about your mentioning of using a firestick remote. Do you have a specific guide you could reference or share?
    I just pair the fire stick remote(holding down the home button) to my phone in Bluetooth settings. That's really it.

    My Pixel 6 pro and one plus nine don't work well or at all with the touch screen in S2A.

    Application features:
    - The main reason for creating this application is working with Android 9 Pie
    1. Сompletely new application combining AAMirror & AAStream features.
    2. Additional functions: clock, dimming, selection of resolutions, etc.
    3. Ability to choose the automatic launch of any application at A2M startup.
    4. Floating button to control the application from the HU screen.
    5. Ability to reset if incorrect output and resolution distortion.
    6. Many other chips...

    Installation and setup:
    1. Download and Install Screen2Auto
    6760829d5c83bfb472ea0a96d8b0efde.png
    2. Enable developper settings in Android Auto and enable Unkown sources in developper settings.
    1. Launch on the Android Auto mobile device
    2. Open the menu, tap the tab "About Android Auto"
    3. In the menu that opens, tap on the gear (settings). Then we crawl to the very bottom of the menu that opens: "Version 4.5. *** - release".
    4. 10 times tap on the display of the version of Android Auto, a window will appear where we must agree with what we are doing. Click "Yes."
    5. Go to the menu (tap "three points") and select the tab "For Developers" that appears in the menu
    6. In the last line, put a checkmark "Unknown sources" or use other settings of the developer's menu.
    3. Use the AA AIO TWEAKER from @shmykelsa for activation third-party applications.
    4. Launch the application and perform the initial setup of permission recovery. Click on the button and save them.

    5. Make the necessary settings as desired.
    Warning:
    If, after turning off the smartphone or exiting AA (turned off the car, closed the emulator, removed the USB), the resolution of the smartphone did not return to its original state (the recovery settings, failure, smartphone features, etc. were set incorrectly, etc.), you need go to Settings → Reset settings and select the WM SIZE RESET option. Resolution will be restored to factory.

    The only way (similar method from the Fermata player thread) I found to overcome the problem for now is:
    - Use Android Auto version 7.0.614104 (tried v7.1.614554, it does not work in any way).
    - Rename the Screen2Auto app v3.6.2 (change the ru.inceptive.screentwoauto name) with Lucky Patcher or any other rename apk app.
    - Uninstall the original Screen2Auto and install the renamed one.
    - Enable Unknown Sources on AA and patch/add the newly renamed app to AA with AA IO Tweaker as you normally would.

    I tried turning off/on the car, disconnected and rebooted the phone, Screen2Auto hasn't disappeared yet.
    8
    S2A appears to be the most restricted app.

    To my knowledge following levels of restrictions/by-passes exist:
    1. Developer mode + unknown sources need to be enabled in the AA app,
    you can tap the Version number in the AA app a lot, to unlock the developer settings.
    2. Apps need to be "installed as Google Play",
    you can use KingInstaller to do so: https://github.com/fcaronte/KingInstaller
    3. Apps need to be "whitelisted in phenotype.db",
    you can use AA-AIO-Tweaker for this: https://github.com/shmykelsa/AA-Tweaker
    4. Apps need Xposed module to spoof an additional "installed as Google Play" check,
    you can use Android-Auto-XLauncher-Unlocked for this: https://github.com/Rikj000/Android-Auto-XLauncher-Unlocked
    5. Apps (for now only Screen2Auto to my knowledge) need their internal package name changed to something different,
    you can use MT Manager for this: https://mt2.cn/download/

    Open MT Manager => Open S2A.apk file => View => AndroidManifest.xml => String pool => Triple dot icon => Filter =>
    Type the package name of the app (likely "ru.cvitnepei.neatruwtosceo" or "ru.inceptive.screentwoauto") => Ok
    => Select the found package name (likely "ru.cvitnepei.neatruwtosceo" or "ru.inceptive.screentwoauto")
    => Alter it to something unique, don't tell your unique package name online => Ok => Back arrow => Save and exit
    => Save AndroidManifest.xml modification + Auto sign => Ok

    Open your package manager => Install modified / renamed S2A.apk
