Also if you are having issues with installation, please uninstall older version first

  • Let's all welcome BMW to Android Auto with its logo!
  • Theme is now translated in dutch too
  • Added some funny wallpapers

Hi

I installed the latest version of the AA backgrounds and substratum and it doesnt work on samsung s9 plus with stock firmware rooted with magisk. After installing the background and restarting, it doesnt appear in the substratum manager to be activated.
With the substratum lite, I can install, reboot and view it in the manager, but when activating the background, the car's AA background screen get solid black. I tried with the latest AA version and the old ones. I tried to clean the magisk modules and reinstalled several times.

Any help?


Thanks

Heya! Version 2.0.13 - VAG & MIB update is live!

So this was originally a request from @ryanfraser38 who asked me to include a Golf GTi scheme. Thanks to the amazing work of @Chillout who included a lot of backgrounds from VW/Seat/Skoda infotainment, these backgrounds are now available into Substratum AA Backgrounds so that you can match Android Auto with your car's infotainment or seats!

Here's what changed:
  • The theme reached 548 backgrounds
  • Added 17 wallpapers with VW patterns, SEAT MIB backgrounds, Skoda & more

Any chance you could make minimal arcify all black instead of gray like this?

    Ever thought the new Android Auto background wallpaper is very ugly? You hate anything that is stock and commonly adopted? Ever asked why Android Auto developers won't let the user choose between different backgrounds and just put an horrendous wallpaper?



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



    Introducing my first Substratum Theme, and it's all about Android Auto!





    Pre-Requisite:

    In order to use Wallpapers For AA you'll need to have Substratum installed on your phone.



    Don't know what the heck is substratum? Here's the official starting guide

    Lost? Here are some video tutorials



    English


    Italian


    Spanish







    Here's a preview of the themes available:


    f3HqIe4l.png

    Batman

    2nipYmll.png

    Van Gogh

    Lcu1bkIl.png

    Google Now - Mountains by night

    Wallpapers For AA - Vehicles samples

    All the other backgrounds preview are available on Flickr





    21u6CMgh.jpg


    IMPORTANT

    Starting from Wallpapers For AA version 3.0, the theme will rely ONLY on the new implementation of Wallpapers bundled inside Android Auto. This will mean that Wallpapers For AA will stay on top of the new feature of Android Auto 5.8+ that will allow every user to swap wallpaper with some included ones.
    This feature is not active yet (as of 2020/01/25) and it needs further setup.
    Please, read the
    release notes to learn more.


    Wallpapers For Android Auto is available in 3 different versions:

    Wallpapers For Android Auto - Vehicles
    Includes all the wallpapers regarding vehicles (badges, logos, etc.)
    Previews link

    Wallpapers For Android Auto - Sport
    Includes all the wallpapers regarding Sport (NFL,NBA,Soccer,F1 etc.)
    Previews link

    Wallpapers For Android Auto - General
    Everything that does not fall in the other categories
    Previews Link


    All the downloads are hosted on GitHub


    Wallpapers For AA + Extras For AA = ❤

    Have you checked out my second substratum theme that completely changes Android Auto's look? What are you waiting for? Check out Extras For AA right now and start tweaking Android Auto even more!

    Heya!

    The app has made it to the XDA feed!!! https://www.xda-developers.com/android-auto-background-substratum-theme-wallpaper/

    Quite a big achievement for a Substratum Theme that I've developed almost randomly. In fact, I was looking to a post in a Facebook group. A guy was asking "Can I change the new horrible Android Auto background?". Everyone in the comments was like "No way dude" but I was like "Hey wait a minute... What if..." And then I came out with this Substratum Theme, which is the a pretty sime way to go. Not the perfect solution, not so powerful, but functional.

    Since the beginning, I've thought that the theme should be fully open to suggestion of new Backgrounds, because giving the user the choice is the best way, in my opinion, to make the user happy.

    Sorry for being radio silent in the last few days but I've been out on a vacation, and I'll probably fully resume the development of the theme on Thursday as I'll have more spare time.

    In the meantime the app is just a step away from reaching 2k downloads on the XDA labs, and so far the reviews (though some old reviews mysteriously disappeared :( ) are all 5 stars, which means you have to really like the theme and I really have to thank you! Be sure to leave a review so I know if there are any problems or something I can work on or improve!

    I honestly did not expect to make it to the news feed of XDA, and I've noticed it from outta nowhere, and really thank you.

    From now on I'm planning to have weekly updates. I'm not really sure I can keep up each and every week, since I basically develop the theme in my spare time, but I'm pretty confident I can.

    So... Can you guess the subject of the next background for AA?

    Not everything turns out as it should

    Version 1.8.1 is live

    Apologies for two updates in a short time.

    When I was uploading photos to the Google Photos gallery, I figured out that some logos were not looking so good (my bad I didn't have a second look into them). So, in order to assure the best quality, these logos have been updated:

    • Renault (black version)
    • Vauxhall (black version)
    • Acura (black version)
    • Genesis (black version)
    • Abarth (black version)
    • KIA (both versions)
    • SKODA (black version)
    • KARMA (black version)
    • Fiat (black version)
    • Opel (black version)
    • Chevrolet (black version)
    • Tata Motors now have the proper logo (both versions)

    Download link, as always, in the OP

    Wallpapers will be shortly updated on Google Photos
