Hi guys,
I have new car with Android Auto supported and phone Huawei P8. I have installed the newest version of Android Auto (from apkm..., unfortunately the app is not available in my country) . When I connect my phone, the Smart Link in my car is started instantly but all I can see is just Google Home screen with tab to start navigation (map).
1) The navigation bar at the bottom of the screen is black without any button. No way how to change/run an application.
2) When I try to start voice recognition (voice commands), it flash to black and back to the "lock screen" (no tabs/widgets on the screen).
Any advice what could be wrong?
Thank you,
Filip.

Hi, I did a rollback to ICS 4.0.3 (v10h). Now, if I have a fullscreen app running (like the network map display in Öffi public transportation app) and I lock the phone (turn it off) and turn it on again, I see the fullscreen app instead of the lock screen. I can get to the lock screen by touching the home button, but this doesn't seem right. Is this usual with this Rom? Can i get rid of this? How?
Anyone?
Maybe thats impossible on 4.0
But you can try out on KitKat. Maybe there is it, what you are searching for
So, I finally updated to Nugat last night, and now Android Auto 2.0 has a few annoying 'features' I needed to fix. I figured them out, so I'll share here.
I could no longer get to my main home screen. This used to be really handy, as I could plug in my phone, get everything setup, tap recent apps and then home to get to my regular home screen. I need to be able to do this to arm my home alarm and to launch Waze.
SOLUTION 1 - 1 Tap Quick Bar
There are a lot of apps like this, and I tried this one first, did exactly what I wanted it to, but it left too much going on in my notification pane. Basically this creates an additional notification bar that you can add settings or applications to. I added Action Launcher 3, Waze, my home alarm app, and two others to it, worked fine.
If there were a way to have a notification bar like this be active only when Car Mode was enabled, it would be my preferred method.
SOLUTION 2 - Custom Quick Settings - (PREFERRED)
This works perfectly, takes up almost no space (one quick settings tile), and looks like it is built in.
I installed this, added a quick settings tile to go directly to my Action Launcher 3 home screen (my wife set it up to go to Nova Launcher), and now I just pull down on the right side of my Nexus 6P screen, tap on the Quick Setting Tile that says Home, and bam, back at the home screen. Tap on the Home button in the Android Auto overlay and I'm back in Android Auto (I just leave it in Waze).
Hope this helps others.
So I'll try to keep this as short as possible but it is a bit complicated.
Basically I purchased a Chinese Android Radio for my 2014 Cayenne. I was very hesitant because I know that AliExpress type items can be very hit or miss (mostly miss) in terms of quality. Black Friday came around and I had the option to save $70 on the Radio so I just went ahead and ordered it. I have since received and installed the radio and am actually very happy with it overall.
Now like most Full Android Head Units this radio does not have built in Android Auto but has the option to use it via external USB dongle and the "Autokit" App.
My question stems from the fact that the radio has a dedicated navigation button that opens a default navigation app and also activates the split screen function so you can run the default navigation app on the top half of the screen and a media app on the bottom. The problem is that what I want to do is run the carplay interface on the top half of the screen (through the Autokit App) but it does not show up as an option for Default Navigation.
Is there a way that I could make the Radio see the Autokit app as navigation app so I have the quick launch feature and split screen option for Android Auto?
This is the radio I purchased:

And this video shows the functionality (Dedicated nav button and split screen function at 1:55 to 2:15)

How do you install the Android Auto APK on a headunit? I want to use Headunit Reloaded with self mode so it runs only on the head unit.
I tried downloading the Android Auto APK and it opens but then it tries to update some apps during install but then gives a message that the app is no longer supported by the device, so how do people install it? I am on PX30
Is there a patched version people use?

My car radio is ATOTO s8 series, which support Carplay and Andoid anto , all I need is to use the data line to connect my phone and radio then they can work, highly recommed this headunit to you.

I mean using Android Auto from the Headunit with the host APK running on the unit itself without needing the phone.
Having trouble where the screen it opens up to has no navigation bar at the bottom of the screen and the home button just goes to the app tiles? How do I toggle back to a version that has the maps, music phone navigation bar at bottom of screen? I'm usb tethered to a kindle fired hd8 inch screen

That's based on your resolution and DPI setting. Set your resolution to match your unit, then set you dpi lower in HUR until you get the UI you want.
Hi everyone,
trying on MIUI 12.5 to enable Microsoft Launcher with Gestures instead of the 3 Bar Bottom Navigation.
Installed "MyGestures" App - which enables gestures - fine.
But still having the 3 buttons bar on the bottom.
Have tried FNG which is recommended by many people, but it only hides the 3 bar bottom - still having a black bar.
Some months ago (before I wiped my phone) I have enabled the gestures in the MIUI menu, and it hid the navigation bar.
But now I get the following chinese info (seems like a message to activate the default launcher, as it gets enabled after right clicking the button)
see screenshot.
Any idea how to activate it without auto starting default launcher?
well for anyone with the same problem, I got a workaround which is quite embarrasing but at least it works to remove the 3-bar navigation.
You need the "LADB" application from Playstore which sadly costs some money.
Then in short:
1. Developer Options - > Wireless ADB enable
2. start LADB and connect it (you have to use dual window feature, because otherwise the port+pin will change)
you need to do this once, after setting up - it will connect next time automatically.
3. insert in LADB command line: settings put global force_fsg_nav_bar 1
It works good. But you have to do it again after a reboot.
