Are you bored of Android Auto UI? You can't stand the fact that on your car you have two clocks on the screen? Do you want to personalize your look of Android Auto tweaking the UI to your likings?

If yes is the answer to any of the questions above, you are in the right place!

Meet Extras For AA Collection, the most advanced way to tweak Android Auto's look

Extras For AA + Wallpapers For AA =

In case you missed it, I've made another Substratum Theme for Android Auto to personalize the default background. Check out Wallpapers For AA now!

1. Extras For AA

Extras For AA is the first theme of the collection. It was born to be a theme to personalize some elements in Android Auto, and now it is a very comprehensive theme that can tweak a lot of things inside Android Auto.

Here's a preview of what this theme can do:

CUSTOM BAR MODES

Custom bar modes!

One Button? Two Buttons? Three Buttons?

One Button: navbar is just launcher icon
Two Buttons: combine launcher icon with the recent app or notification icon
Three buttons: combine launcher with notifications and recent app

Madness Mode = Clock instead of launcher icon

+N = + Notifications
+Q = + Quick access app

H = Horizontal
V = Vertical

Other modifications available:

Reduce or remove bottom bar/status bar of AA

Personalize the look of 3rd party apps menus like navigators (AmiGo, Sygic, 2GIS...)

Swap the launcher button with the clock, thanks to madness mode

Pick your favourite gradient and apply it to what you'd like! Bar, widget, heads up notifications and even custom bar modes!

Customize colours of various things such as accent (bottom widget), bottom bar, caption of apps, heads up notifications, notification center...

Choose between all the status bar customization

Much much more!

There's an entire document covering most of the options available. Check out now more previews!

LEGACY VERSION

If your device can't run Substratum Lite, download the specific version of Extras For AA which is called Legacy. This version is optimized for old devices that can't run Substratum Lite.
If your device can run Substratum Lite, go for normal one!

2. Icons For AA

With Icons For AA (previously Extras For AA Icons Special) you can personalizse:

Exit Icons

Status Bar Icons

Bottom bar Icons

More to come!

3. Animations For AA

Third and newest theme from the Extras For AA collection. With Animations For AA, you can personalize:

App switch animation

App enter animation (Android Auto 6.1+)

App exit animation (Android Auto 6.1+)

Notification animations

Icons For AA and Animations For AA have no Legacy version

Compatibility

Android 11?

Substratum is very limited on Android 11 and for the time being it can only apply very light modifications to user-installed apps. This is out of my control and I don't know whether it will be fixed or not. Extras For AA has so many modifications and making a very light version for Android 11 is just not worth it. Icons For AA and Animations For AA will mostly work fine.

Synergy?

For some reasons, Synergy won't apply themes outside of the phone's screen. This has been an ongoing issue since OneUI 1.0 and unfortunately I don't think it will be ever fixed. Blame Samsung!

Android 6?

You can technically install Substratum on Android 6, but it relies on a old implementation that is not compatible with the actual Substratum. Android 6 is not supported.

Stay updated!

New version of Extras for AA has been pushed to XDA Labs

Version 2.0 brings the following changes:

Heads up notifications can be now modified. They can be smaller, translucent or both! They can also be gradient themed (by also building "Heads Up Have Gradient" extra)

Most of the extras have been renamed to have a shorter name. This is to avoid reaching the characters limit in Substratum that will lead built overlays to always stay pink

A welcome dialog will now show up when opening Extras For AA. It will contain all the useful information, help, as well as options to make a donation to me. If you like my work, even a small amount will be appreciated ?

More option for immersive mode: bottom bar can be now set to 0.9x and 0.01x. The latter is very dangerous, bar will basically be totally hidden and launcher will be unreacheable. Please choose 0.01 only if you know what you're doing.

Revisited some gradient names

Purple gradient has been revisited

Added 4 new gradients

Also new: Extras For AA is now open source! https://github.com/shmykelsa/extras4aa

CLEAN INSTALL IS REQUIRED
If you previously built overlays of Extras for AA, please first uninstall them. You can install them back just fine with new version.

Also if you want sneek peaks of new updates, as well as release candidates of next builds of WP4AA and Extras4AA, be sure to join the update channel on Telegram

Please don't forget to rate and review on XDA Labs. It helps the development a lot!

Keep in mind when downloads and userbase is decreasing then theme updates will also slow down by a lot and eventually stop.

So if you like my work please take a moment and give a rate!
