Just going to chime in that I have a Moto G Stylus running android 11 (Non rooted). Installed via AAAD and when I click on the icon in Android Auto, I get the launcher. When I click on any app I also get the black screen.

Will wait for a solution. Thanks.

unfortunately, I don't have that in my advanced settings...
Seems to be vendor or android-version specific

Hi guys, I have installed this app in three different rooted phones (Xperia 5 II, One Plus 8 and Xiaomi Mi 11), I dont' know why but when I close the app, Xperia 5 II and One Plus reboot by themselves, Xiaomi Mi11 has no problem, some one have the same issue?

Ask for a couple of improvement:

S2a Launcher: sort icon + hide icon

Quick Launcher listbox: sort application + search application by name.

Ask for support: xiaomi mi 10t pro not rooted sometime screencast not start. I've disabled all battery optimization for app, given all permission, given the app the permission to start automatically. Do you have any hint?

Thank you.

Just a thought as I had this issue with my note 10+ when I first started. If you leave the settings to dim your phone you may not see the allow recording popup that comes up when you launch the app from the launcher. I wish there was a way to remember this option. Sometimes I see this on the headunit but more often than not it's only on the phone and you get black screen until you allow it. I had to tell s2a not to dim my screen on my phone. Maybe S2A could not dim until it get told it's allowed to stream?
 
I've managed to get s2a working on my non rooted s20 ultra. Installed via AAAD. As others have said the phone screen dims and you have to select start screen recording.

Once done on the s2a applications screen on your AA head unit swipe to the right a few times, past the clock and notifications. There are some settings toggles at the top. Click on s2a start and it changes to paused. Just press again to start and you will see your phone screen on the AA unit. Touch even works albeit a bit hit and miss. Also crashes if you try to do too much things but have shortcuts setup to favourite apps. I personally use Torque with no problems. Sorry can't do screenshots yet but if someone needs Will be able to provide later.

I have install in a nexus-5x many custom roms, lineage etc.. With android auto there are problems. Some times it does work everything ok until some day Google changes something in gaps and something stopping working.
I installed a nougat rom based to original, debloated it to the limit just to have android auto working and some more others i need. It is best way...
You don't actually gain anything upgrading to android 10, at least for android mirroring. In older versions like nougat, mirroring works better.
Was your Nexus 5X blod patched? I assume if it wasn't then a BLOD patched one wouldn't stand a chance at running this.

I have installed screen2auto and it works flawless except for one thing and that's navigation within opened apps.
When I open for example Netflix it doesn't let me scroll the page but directly opens the link/video you just tapped when you actually wanted to scroll down.
Only way to navigate is to go back to my phone. This isn't the case in the app itself when you browe your apps but only in the opened app on your car screen.
Any solution for this?

I actually have seen that streaming permission and click start but still do not end up seeing anything on my head unit.
 
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.

J'ai installé screen2auto et cela fonctionne parfaitement, sauf pour une chose choisie et c'est la navigation dans les applications ouvertes.
Lorsque j'ouvre par exemple Netflix, cela ne me permet pas de faire défiler la page mais ouvre directement le lien / la vidéo que vous venez d'appuyer lorsque vous vouliez réellement faire défiler vers le bas.
La seule façon de naviguer est de revenir à mon téléphone. Ce n'est pas le cas dans l'application elle-même lorsque vous accédez à vos applications, mais uniquement dans l'application ouverte sur l'écran de votre voiture.
Une solution pour ça?

hello, to be able to scroll through the netflix menu I uninstall the beta version of S2A and download version 3.4.6 ... because it works perfectly. hope it will be the same for you.



bonjour, pour pouvoir faire défiler le menu netflix, je désinstalle la version bêta de S2A et télécharge la version 3.4.6 ... car elle fonctionne parfaitement. espérons que ce sera la même chose pour vous.

I installed Screen2Auto on an unrooted phone using the script from the Inceptive.ru website. There are a few glitches but it works overall.

Would Screen2Auto work better on an unrooted phone if I used AAAD to install it?

Also, since I've installed Screen2Auto using the script from the Inceptive.ru website, can I just update Screen2Auto and have it work? Or do I need to install an updated version using the script?

    Regarding S2A not showing up, this guy's (many thx) trick nr. 5. did the trick for me.
    Before S2A wasn't showing up in AA.
    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

    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...
    1d1ca5ad04e260cb8dfa7360d36cee00.png

    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.

    • (Add) Launching scree2auto task from Tasker

    9
    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.
