Screen2Auto - New app for AA smartphone mirroring (only for root devices).

[egandt]

Google Play protect is mostly there to protect Google, not you.

Disabled

Feel free to disable it to prevent it from nagging about apps Google doesn't want you to use.


Just the package name,
only a single string needs to be edited.

Ok done

Perhaps Google Play protect is the culprit.
I have it disabled by default so not sure if it's another existing restriction.

The OnePlus check-mark did not work on my OnePlus + LineageOS device.

So then I implemented the root/LineageOS check-mark, which should work on any rooted phone, I'd recommend to use that one.

Not sure what this is?

Lastly, did you try the xposed module of my app, AAXLU?
That should also help w unlocking 3th party apps.

Installed

I tried again after a reboot to be sure, still blocked from allowing notification (Restricted Setting) and Special Abilities (Restricted Settings). At least play protect is not throwing errors, but also on 13 at least I can not figure out in king is setting it as installed be the App Store or not, since the instruction on how to check do not seem to work on 13.

I'm going to uninstall and reinstall again after a reboot.

Steps I followed:
Uninstalledeverything
reboot
Install AA-AIO-Tweaker via KingInstaller
Open and Grant Root Access
Install Android-Auto-XLauncher-Unlocked via King Installer
Ensure that Zygisk-LSPosed is enabled in Magisk

Now I can not do this step: LSPosed => Modules => Check Enable module + Check Android Auto
Since I can not open Lsposed as there is no notification, I have EdXposed Manager I can access, which says it is not installed correctly yet the moduleLSPosed-v1.8.6-6712-zygisk-release. is installed and active in magisk:. I see the module for android auto, but can not enable it by default, I tried skipping the check and enabling and rebooting anyways, assuming that worked I've completed that step as well now, if not I'm confused as to why it is not working when the module is installed.

Install my modified screen2auto

I did white list in AA AIO tweaker and reboot as I saw elsewhere that is needed, and rebooted one final time.

Special Abilities now works as does notifications, seems like I went through a number of extra steps and am still unsure of the EdXposed Manager saying it is not properly installed when the module is enabled, but with skip check I can enable the Android Auto module.

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.

Are you using KingInstaller v1.3?

You can verify if KingInstaller did it's thing correctly, as described here

EdXposed is for older devices (Android 8 - 11)
On current day devices you need LSPosed

Apparently this doesn't work on OnePlus phones? There is no "App installed from" under settings/apps/Screen2auto.

It's there on my Pixel 6 pro.

I have LSPosed installed, but I have no manager for it to add or edit modules (even uninstalled and reinstalled). They say there is a notification, however I do not have that, maybe I hide it at one point I hate always on notifications. I found the LSopsed app on Google Play that shows that notifications are enabled, yet I still have none, still it let me confirm that the module is loaded, so I'm going with ok.


As for king yes it is 1.3, however on the oneplus:
Settings => Apps => See all apps => Name of installed App => Store (at the bottom)
There is no store for any app listed, this may be a oneplus UI thing on 13 , but means that I can not check using that method, I check apps through play store and those not, none have it.

I would:
- Uninstall LSPosed from Magisk
- Reboot
- Re-install LSPosed from Magisk
- Reboot
- Tap the LSPosed Status notification, create a shortcut to the LSPosed manager, it should request you for it.
- Disable the LSPosed Status notification, from within the LSPosed manager settings

Then you'll need to figure out another way to get the install referrer if you want to verify if "installing as Google Play" went correctly.

When I opened S2A in AA, it asked me do I want to start casting - previous versions never asked, IMO asking that is completely pointless (why otherwise would anyone installing S2A) and it can potentially distract the driver

Is this expected behavior? I am experiencing the same thing with 3.7.

 

[gullzway]

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

Sorry if this a complete noob question. How do I locate the current app name so I can issue the appropriate adb command to my device.

Thank you!

EDIT:

Opened the S2A app. Ran "adb shell dumpsys window windows" and discovered my app was ru.inceptive.screentwoauto1. Issued the "PROJECT_MEDIA allow" and confirmed it works. Thank you again!

Use a Firestick Remote. That's what I do on my Pixel 6 Pro(non rooted.)

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.

 

[kkoolkaran]

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

1. Which apps can be uninstalled once the above steps are performed? (Like MT manager?)
2. Is Android-Auto-XLauncher-Unlocked alternative for Android Auto default app? If yes, Can we remove the default one?

Thanks in advance

1. KingInstaller, AA-AIO-Tweaker and MT-Manager can be removed afterwards if desired.
2. AAXLU is not an alternative for AA,
it's more like an addon to unlock more functionality (More 3th party apps, more debug screens, easily launch the AA app)

I was able to get S2A to work on my Galaxy A5 2017...

I just had to upgrade it to Android 9 and install S2A with Kinginstaller and MT manager...

On Pixel 5 running Lineageos for microg Magisk, Screen2Auto is crashing when "other settings" is selected.

Any help very appreciated.

Hello friends,
Which version of AndroidAuto works best with Screen2Auto?
I was able to install and run Screen2Auto on my Android 13, Samsung device that I cannot root, but the phone screen looks upright on the car screen.

They've all worked the same for me up to and including the latest Android Auto update.

Try going into screen to auto settings, screen settings, and forcing screen rotation.
