Hello i have installed the latest version in unrooted Galaxy S21 ultra. I am opening am connecting to the android auto and opening the Screen2auto, accepting the record screen and then I can see all my applications. My problem is that when I open for example YouTube and try to scroll in the headunit the program does not do anything . If I scroll to my phone I can see the scroll in the head unit. am I doing something wrong?

i have galaxy s21 ultra and all works fine. you must active the alternative touch on s2a and give permissions. touch works great with oprion "2" in alternative touch on s2a

Hi, i managed to install s2a via aaease on a Redmi Note 10 pro with no root A12 and it runs the desktop ok. But when i try to run an app (e.g. opera, viber, messages) it just crashes.
I see on phone screen it turns everything in landscape and runs the apps, but car media screen is just black (within AA).
Is there an option mayby i dont know or just another no root problem?
Also i cant find how to grand this recording permission on phone, where is it?
请索取如何安装s2a的 更新安卓12以后 aasea无法安装s2a

Mod translation: Please ask for how to install s2a after updating Android 12 aasea cannot install s2a

奇怪!安卓12不能通过aasea安装s2a,并且安装之前备份的通过aasea安装的3.6.4版本s2a也无法使用! 但是,就在刚刚,我使用aastore安装了s2a 3.5 beta可以正常使用!

Mod translation: strangeness! Android 12 cannot install s2a through aasea, and the 3.6.4 version s2a installed through aasea that was backed up before installation cannot be used! However, just now, I installed s2a 3.5 beta using aastore and it works fine!

Hello, thank you for this wonderful application :)

I was able to use it for months without any problem, but today it forces me to update AA...

How to prevent this?

i'm rooted

Oh well, just found out this morning that all third-party apps are not showing on the car screen. However, when I turned on my phone while eating noodles on the roadside, I found that they were still missing. Never encountered this situation before.

Unless you install S2A with AAEASE, Google detects it and blocks 3rd party apps.

That's because AAEASE changes the package name when it installs it. You'll have to search for a way to do that manually if you can't install with AAEASE.

除非您使用 AAEASE 安装 S2A,否则 Google 会检测到它并阻止第 3 方应用程序。

这是因为 AAEASE 在安装时更改了包名。如果您无法使用 AAEASE 安装,您将不得不寻找一种手动执行此操作的方法。

emm I see that more than one person cannot install it. Is it because of the high version of Android auto or Android 12?

Why my screen goes sleep after 15 seconds of inactivity in screen2auto ? I have to run it again and with second try it stays ON always. Everytime I start the car i have to repeat it or open s2a twice before using. Any solution to that ?

    Uninstalled s2a and update aa
    Rebooted
    Installed s2a (renamed the string with mtmanager) and set app permissions then reboot
    Update aa from playstore
    Set aa xl developers settings and sources unknown
    S2A doesnt appear in AA
    So I still have s2a working on non root samsung 23 ultra Android 13. I noticed Fermata Auto was missing from AA and decided to reinstall from AAAD app,

    There is a new version of Fermato auto (1.99 version) and it also has 2 mirroring apps and it works quite well on Android 13. I think its easier to use than s2a and the phone screen dims unlike 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...
    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.
    1ae13868aa9142dd0ea19722b818d9a7.jpg
    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.

    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
    10
    A new version 3.4.6 has been released

    • Added persistent quick launch bar
    • Added a pause S2A. If need to use the phone (so as not to disconnect)
    • Fixed bug with floating button
    • Fixed bug with choosing launcher button and background
    • Minor fixes

    Screen2Auto upgrade to v2.8!
    • Work optimization
    • (Delete) Removed the speedometer.
    • (Add) Added switch to enable / disable the function of forced application termination
    • (Add) Added to the launcher the HOME and WORK buttons from the Yandex navigator.
    • (Add) Added Polish language (thanks wal24)
    • (Add) Launching scree2auto task from Tasker
    • (Fix) Fixed launch from the application menu
    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.
