Possible to use side loaded app with android auto - Android Auto General

I know that Google has blocked side loaded apps from working with android auto, but for one reason or another I choose to use a side loaded version of an app rather than the play store version. I know the play store vests with android auto, as I have tried it.
Is there any way to get the side loaded app wot work with android auto?

I think that as long as the app is compatible with Android auto, it doesn't matter if it's sideloaded or downloaded from the play store.

If we are talking about Android Auto enabled messaging or music apps, such apps have to be approved by Google before being allowed on Google Play. (I presume Play automatically blocks uploaded apps that contain permissions to be an AA app.)
But if you develop your own AA compatible app and need to test it before Google ever looks at it, there is a procedure to do that and I think it goes through Play as a special beta.
So, yeah, maybe sideloaded AA apps don't work; I don't know, I never tried. But I'd hope the OP is asking because he tested it and it didn't work.
OP: Is it a paid app ? Which app ?

Right. I'm basically saying that it has to be on the play store to use. That's what I meant by "compatible", it's already Google approved.

Anyone have any new insight into this? it's frustrating. i downloaded latest play services from apk mirror, and it threw my AA for a loop. same thing with maps. How does AA know if the app is from the play store? I tried using TiBu to associate the app with the play store, but it didn't work. There needs to be an xposed module or something for this. It's like I have to be careful what I can install now. And when I say it threw me for a loop, I don't mean i just had to uninstall the sideloaded app and reinstall from the market (well that worked with maps, but not play services). That was a pain, and it kept force closing even after re-updating from play store. I had to uninstall everything and re-download everything from play store.

I have a sideloaded Spotify(patched for playing actual song rather than radio just like in tablets) in my phone , but in android auto, it doesn't show up as music app. When I delete it and install Spotify from play store, I can see it. Any workaround for this?

You may be able to install the patched version over the Play version.
Install from the phone, or if that doesn't work try this from the command line of a USB connected computer that has the Google ADB utilities installed:
adb install -r -d Spotify.apk

Sideloaded apps will not work, only apps installed by the Playstore. HOWEVER! You can still use xposed modules that work on Playstore apps. I have an older version of Spotify and Pandora installed by the Playstore that I haven't updated, and I use xposed modules with them and it works great. Pandora + Pandora patcher and Spotify + SpotifySkip work great on my Honda Civic 2016 AA unit. I get no ads, unlimited skips, and even "thumb up" downloads.

I think this discussion fits pretty good into this thread.... (is there a need for a xposed AA module)

Hi,
yes there is a solution to install AA apps without publishing them in the playstore. It's quite easy look here : https://pixplicity.com/setting-install-vendor-debug-app/
I tested it myself.

Wow...

I've been jumping between keeping Xposed tweaks up-to-date and making sure my Play Store-installed apps never updated... Until now.
Verified working. Thank you.
Wonder if Google starts checking another way down the road...

You saved me man, just installed AA in my car yesterday but my spotify version that works with spotify skip had to be side loaded on my phone so it wouldn't show in the music apps list in AA. This got it to work perfectly and I can still use all the same features I was using before.

This is not so easy for me. I've been struggling to get the method in the above link to work for installing spotify. I have adb running on my pc, my device is recognized, and I was able to successfully push the spotify.apk to my phone, but I'm getting an error when I try to run the second command.

Yup that's what I did and no go. What a bummer. I wish there was an xposed module that could do this.

Anyway to send the apk with the vendor install code already in it? Or it has to be done through adb while connected to the USB to the phone. New to this.

Worked for me! So happy to have the big buttons on android auto.
I'd imagine that this will be the necessary method of installing for any updated versions of spotify not sought through the play store.

Is it possible with this method to install perhaps some app that is not for android auto? Eg some navigation program?

Anyone know where I could find a compatible one?

It's works with me (mediafire.com/?4s8eyqbuty2l1e9)
if didn't you should install these :

I went ahead and tried installing them, it just kept saying "play store has stopped". It also messed up my Youtube app that I installed, but I just reinstalled Youtube and it work correctly.

[Solved] Play services update too big?

Hello
My only phone, the N1 is driven by ev_passion_nightly-2014.08.17. Thanks to Mounts2SD I thought storage capacity limits shouldn't bother me in future: Internal memory says 182 MB free, SD card 2.6 GB free (it's a 4 GB card).
This week Gmail updated to 5.0 - with this update comes the need to update google play services (6.1.88 (1557022-034)). I wasn't able to update (tried play store and .apk) the services due to "Not enough memory available"-Error.
Is anybody experiencing the same?
Regards

Yes, I just tried to update and it also failed due to "insufficient storage available". I did a backup of the old version and unistalled it. After that reinstalling from the Play Store worked fine.
I had a similiar issue with Dropbox last week though and just uninstalling it wasn't enough. I still got "ISA" error when trying to install from store again but installing the apk (copied from another device) went well.
I was just able to uninstall the updates of play services (now I'm on 4.0.34) a full uninstall doesn't seem to be possible that easy. Unfortunately the "ISA" error remains

So if you have Superuser you can use Link2SD to freeze/uninstall any app.
Just make sure that you cancel the file system selection dialog (ext2/ext3/ext4/...) because you are already using Mounts2SD. Even without the linking feature it's a great app manager.
Grant Superuser to Link2SD so you can manage all apps. Search for Google Play services in the list, then press and hold it, choose "Uninstall".
Installing it from Play Store should work again.
If not, download it from APKMirror. I checked the MD5 so it's legit.
Thanks, uninstalling worked now. Installation however still isn't working. APK still complains about storage, and Play Store can't be accessed - it stops at an account selection popup.

Are you sure that Mounts2SD is working correct? What does "Storage Threshold" say? Which content types are "green"?
Try to "Clear all app caches" with Link2SD and set "Install location" to "Automatic" in the settings.
Mounts2SD should work correctly (see attachments). I've cleared the app cache and set location to automatic. "ISA"-Error is still present.
Yes, Mounts2SD seems to be fine. It's strange though that your error still persists when mine was gone after that.
Are these directories still present? You can check it with ES File Explorer or any other file manager with root access.
/data/data/com.google.android.gms
/data/app-lib/com.google.android.gms-1
What if you try to install the previous version?
/data/data/com.google.android.gms is gone, the other on is still present. Installing the previous version doesn't work too (ISA-Error).

Rename it (to something like com.google.android.gms.old) and try to install again.
After renaming installation of the new version was possible and Gmail 5.0 is running. Thanks a lot for your help!

Certain apps don't work from google play?

Does anyone have any issues with certain apps from the play store that just crash when opened? Apps like IMDB, google Inbox, Google contacts just crash when they are opened. Why is that? I am running the google now launcher with typical root, play store setup etc.
yes I had an issue downloading facebook messenger app.. it crashed.. I downloaded it for Amazon store and it worked perfectly from there.. I am sadly using 5.1.1.. with Play Store installed via adb..
Inbox is a known problem, was mentioned on threads about installing the play store.
Google contacts works on mine though, though maybe I installed it through gapps.

Well thats the problem I am having, I can't update services because that runs through the Play store, and I can't log into the play store so I can't update. I am getting the message about the services being outdated but I can't do anything as it just redirects me to the failed play login. I have no idea what version of Play store this is, its just whatever was pushed via the zip file. I am going to do a factory reset and try again.
For the record, did you do this on 5.1.1. or did you do this on 5.0.1 and then update?

I updated via OTA to 5.1.1 then installed play store via adb.. I suggest that you uninstall all the four apps of google that the zip file installed which are Google Play Services.. Google Services Framework.. Google Accounts.. and Google Play Store.. then install them again via the same adb then reboot.. that's what I did actually.. I hope this will help..

Someone in another thread told me to try the Amazon app store version of IMDb if I was using the stock rom. I tried it and it works perfectly. I did have to unistall the Google version before the Amazon one would install. It's worth a try with some of the other apps to see if it works for them too.
I'm running Fireos 5.01
Rooted with google play services installed.
I have removed all the bloat suggested and don't intend to use any amazon apps.
In any case, the two problems i have are slightly strange.
1. I can't seem to install any .apk that doesn't come from google play store (I have Dev options opened an unknown sources checked)
2 I Can't add any widgets to my Home screen, when i try the widgets just disappear.
None of these two problems are show stoppers for me and I have all the removed .apks uploaded to mega in case i find i need any of them.
Has anyone else seen this?

To get widgets to work, I had to make my launcher (Apex) a system app. I tried titanium backup first, but it seemed to have trouble doing it. I finally downloaded an app called /system/app mover from Google play store and it worked. I can add widgets now.
Thanks for the information s14sh3r.
Sorry for the late reply
However I already had Titanium backup installed so i thought i would try to see if i have the same problem with TB as you.. sure i did it hang then locked me out of the launcher a reboot brought it back.
So i headed over to the market and picked up system app mover and run that after installing busybox.
Funny thing was, it was already marked as a system app... errr I guess TB almost made it happen any idea's i do have another launcher available also i have a pro copy of Apex so would i need to make the pro key and the widgets app, a system app.
Update
I got it working by getting "system app mover" to move the app back to where is was, I rebooted then i made it a system app once again,
Rebooted and selected "Apex launcher" and Bingo!
I have access to widgets again
Thanks for your help s14sh3r.

Happy to hear you gt it working. One thing I've noticed is I seem to have to reboot more to get thinhs to work. Considering how cheap the tablet is, I can live with that :laugh:
I have a problem with Instagram after I installed latest CyanogenMod rom.
From the Play store it's written: " Your device is not compatible with this version" (it's translated from italian,not really sure if it's 100% right ).
Before I rooted my device in order to install Cyano rom,I had the original firmware with Play store installed and Instagram was not only avaiable but worked smoothly.
Any idea of how to fix it?
BTW...I tried to get back to the original firmware following the related tutorial but there's no way to make the device "visible"to the pc via usb through the embedded recovery mode (quite strange because I can flash without problem TWRP recovery using adb tool by cmd line).
So...I'm in trouble even if I want to get back to the original firmware...any help will be (again) really welcome .
Thanks in advance.
Mostly the advice is the same sideload the app if play store won't let it install.
You can use this to go back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/general/howto-install-fireos-5-1-1-root-gapps-t3265594
If you do go back to 5.0.1 in TWRP by renaming the 5.0.1 bin to end .zip remember to stay offline until you've turned OTA off unless you don't want TWRP any more.
Thanks a lot for your advice...I I'll try it later ?.
Well,finally I fixed it simply downloading the apps in .apk files into the device and installing them directly from it,easier than I thought .
Thanks a lot for helping me.

play store services problems

Hello everyone, if my tablet I install play store services happens that the same becomes slow, no way to fix it?

i mean, what exactly moved into your brain to start writing about a tablet ( you don t even say the model) inside the Oneplus one THEMES AND APPS section? i'm pretty curious
obviously I was wrong section.
I apologize and ask if there is a section where I can post the problem that occurs with me play store services?

This tablet has no support I can see.. It's a bit old 2012, slower processor and limited 512mb of ram.. There's no way it can cope properly with Google's services.. If you use kingo root, remove some bloat, install disable services app and tune your system, you can eek out a bit more usability..
It still is running 4.0?
is 4.0.4

Do you want to modify it in hopes of improved performance?
no better than the performance because then I know not much but simply changes there are several apps that require the google play services. By installing the google play services these apps work, but the system slows down for example to open the virtual keyboard and write it takes some time and if the google play store there is this problem does not occur

You have low ram, 512mb is barely enough to run current apps, assuming there are no background apps.. You'll need to root to bring play services under control..
Go to settings, about device, build number (tap it 7 times) this unlocks developer options..
Go back to settings, developer options and enable android debugging..
On your computer install adb drivers
Download kingo root and install
Connect to your computer, run kingo root to root your device..
Once rooted, go to the play store and install SuperSu
Grant root to SuperSu and follow prompts to fully install it in your system.. (Don't try the recovery option)
Once installed, remove kingo...
Reply back when this is done.. Good luck..
hello
I installed a store looks different from play store but both play store and on that I installed there are several root kingo I could say that right?

Kingo will likely need your computer to root.. Be careful with unofficial playstore's and random apk downloads due to malware.. The steps I mentioned gained root access on the off brand tablet I got for my daughter. It came "ad supported" so I rooted to remove the bloat, and installed the play store..
So use the previous post to gain root and then we'll move to the next step..

For the app should be enough.
that's what i always do and it still ends up updating , even with the detach module, maybe i'll have to disable it all together :l
That's werid stopping auto update from the play store should stop all that

Well, it doesn't. I'm experiencing the same.
i am using it on pie. is really frustrating the app update by itself.
SWITCH OFF AUTO UPDATE IN PLAYSTORE ARE NOT WORKING AT ALL.
detach in TB is NOT WORKING also.
but version on nougat doesn't have this issue, maybe google did something fishy on PIE?
I guess you should ask for help in the dedicated threads for Youtube Vanced instead of creating a new thread for this.

Same in Oreo. Never had problem with Nougat.
I installed it just like the OP, it would detach but play store would attach youtube back on the update list by itself every night. When the phone is restarted the detach module in magisk will detach it again, but the next morning, play store would put it back on the list.
use service disabler

Disabling the auto-update from Play Store works fine for me. I've been using Vanced for months and no such issues.

Your link is dead. However, you inspired me.
Which service in Google Play Service should be disable?

Only disable that 2 services in Youtube can detach the app from Play?? It works?
I was thinking to disable some service in Google Play Services.

Read the part in the first post under:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-youtube-vanced-edition-t3758757
"Explanation of the (Ad)Vanced options of the official installer:"
After thatd download the files from the 3# post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75772897&postcount=3
Use the Mediafire host. in the Installer folder you'll find all the necessary files.

I've been trying to figure out this issue for a while.
Basically issue for me is on Google Pixel XL and now Pixel 3 XL and my friends Moto x4, all on both Android Oreo and Pie... Using Magisk repo install and uninstalling stock YouTube, and then adding enable_detach empty file in cache folder in root along with turning off "Enable auto update" in Google play store for YouTube . Usually this works for a few weeks but every now and then it ignores it and updates itself and turns on auto update without user explicitly allowing it. (Says YouTube was just updated).
I can easily fix it by uninstalling updates again but my friend doesn't know how to do this easily. I also tried to remove YouTube forcefully with titanium backup from system app and detaching months ago but that caused a lot more problems. Currently it gives option to attach to market forced despite it still showing up in market saying update (and auto update off for it)
I wanted to understand the plz and settings.sh options if using specifically Magisk method 1 (Magisk repo). Or are those only if using the other methods under magisk and/or root only option (no Magisk)?
Use the Sudohide xposed module.
This Module will prevent apps from detecting other installed apps on your device. Settings are done on per app basis.
Steps to hide VancedYT (A) from Play Store (B):
1. Select app A in the main list a new list view will be launched
2. Tick the checkbox next to app B in the newly opened list view
3. Press apply to save and back to exist
4. Restart luncher or reboot the phone.
Slow down.
Detach using titanium backup WORKS
For me I could only press "attach to playstore"
So I did. After I got button detach.
It worked and removed it
