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

[thivamero]

Hello

To start with, I installed the Korean Rom on my rooted Galaxy A5 2017 (I should mention that I don't use it to call that it is only used for gps, music, etc. on Android Auto)

here

then I did what was indicated by Rikj000 :
S2A
just steps 1, 2 and 5

Hi, is there any way to run Google Maps and Waze on S2A instead of AA?

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...

I more than confirm what @thivamero says: I started my trials with two smartphones on android 8; none of them succeeded. After having upgraded them to android 9 everything worked nicely

Here as well I second @thivamero : steps 1,2 and 5 are enough for both of my smartphones

With pleasure,
When I don't know something or can't do something, I'd like someone to help me....

I searched so hard that it was only natural that I should share...
morality: for S2A, you have to forget about Android 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

It's reaaly a crystal clear intructions. Thanks Man. IT works on my Poco F1 A13 Nasuntara ROM + NGK kernel test build

 

[francis-ch]

thank you so much for this AAAD app! i have a suv of chevrolet equinox but my whole family are android fans. i have successfully connected my pixel phone(unrooted) to my vehicle. however, i found that after connecting to the vehicle, the maps on the vehicle screen is a little low resolution, is there anything i can do to fix this? my phone screen has a high resolution of maps.

Hello, did it works with Android 13 ?

 

[asheroto]

This is a crazy long way to mirror your screen to my car. Wow. Can this not be automated since basically everyone does it?

Tried it anyway, didn't work, ran into issues.

Followed all the steps, used Magisk and Lsposed magisk module and configured lsposed settings and King Installer and the tweaker and launcher and MT Manager to modify the Android manifest of share2auto... (6-7 apps to make screen mirroring work? lol) also tried patching with tweaker

If I change ru.inceptive.screentwoauto
.. it says package is invalid, but if I change ru.inceptive.screentwoauto.App then it installs but won't open, just flashes and then says stopped responding. The other string didn't exist.

With an unpatched share2auto all of the settings are enabled but nothing different shows on the car screen, just looks like regular Android Auto. No additional app icons even if added under Applications.

Android 13, OnePlus 11

Any ideas?

Thanks for these, some of these helped me I'm sure.

I followed these instructions minus the xposed step and still didn't work. I redid everything and added aa4mg after patching screen2auto with aa-aio, renamed my package to whatever.s2a.etc but chose to not install it from MT Manager. I backed out and went into the file manager and installed it as normal to ensure it was installed from the default Google installer. I should mention I also uninstalled all updates for Android Auto before installing the aa4mg version and then had Aurora automatically update the app from inside.

I have developer options on, unknown sources checked, mode as developer but I don't believe I needed that as it was already showing up in my Android Auto list but I did enable them again for good measure. It's also possible some of these settings were carried over as I was doing 100 different things to get it working so I'm just writing this for myself in the future when I need to remember what I did and tried . It may help someone else out also.

Followed all of your steps, uninstalled all updates for Android Auto in settings->top right dots->uninstall all updates. Patched the screen2auto app in AA-AIO (although it showed red/unpatched after another reboot so maybe something changed here in the install/uninstalls). If you don't see the new package name in AA - force close aa-aio and try again. If it's still showing up as the normal package name, redo the MT Manager steps. Added aa4mg, installed updates via aurora, success.

Next step is to disable flag secure for Netflix/similar playback on s2a. Will update if I am successful with that in any way. I tried the old mirror.js using frida but it's not working for my version. I tried disableflagsecurev7 magisk module but that doesn't work either (although I have read v5 does work, haven't confirmed yet).

OnePlus 9P
OOS11.2.10.10
L1 DRM
UBL, Magisk 26.1


Edit: I also followed the instructions on aa4mg and disabled background data usage, and disabled data and wifi usage per screenshot below

Enable dev mod + unknown sources plus
5th suggestion is enough for s22 ultra with android 13. Thanks for your suggestion.

Thanks for the detailed reply! I will have to try that.

Thanks for the detailed reply. This was the way to get Fermata working again. I tried KingInstaller, AA AIO Tweaker, AAAD, etc, and nothing worked. Fermata was visible in AndroidAuto, but when launching it would freeze AndroidAuto. I am using a Moto Edge+ (2023) with Android 13 (June). Previous phone was Pixel 6 with Android 13, and on that one Fermata worked without any mods on July version of Android13. Appreciate the writup!

Any ideas?

I have a custom rom (crDroid 9.7), rooted, Android 13 on a OnePlus 9. S2A works.
Installed Gaaps, then had to install Android Auto using App Systemizer to move it to /system/priv-app
Did steps 1,2,5 where I changed app name with MT manager. It not only edited the file, it also enables you to install the new file. This was key.

OnePlus 9 5G, rooted, custom ROM crDroid 9.7
Android 13
Android Auto 9.9.632624
Screen2auto 3.7

 

[raphoel]

Hello, I changed package name, installed as Google Play and Screen2auto is shown in Android Auto without any problems. It can also run any app (it's executed in the phone), but it's not show on car display (in AA). Launcher is displayed and torch button is working. Do anyone have any idea what it could be? I also tried allow PROJECT_MEDIA for the app.

Xiaomi 13 Pro
Android 13
Android Auto 9.9.632624
Screen2auto 3.7 (I also tried 3.4)

Sorry to ask but how, the company behind screen2auto, is Inceptive making revenues?
Is it a safe company?

Worked like a charm here after a little fiddling -- but unlike some folks posting recently, all of the steps were required for my Poco F3 w/Lineage 20 w/Googles "spyware". Note for those with official Google Services, turn off play protect.

Are there any apps that will allow full screen screen mirroring? Either root or no root.
