I have wanted to move from my regular android head unit to Android Auto for a while, but some of my favorite things to listen to while driving to work don't have regular podcasts. So I have to watch them on YouTube. If anyone has used this, please let me know if it is working well. I really want to get a higher quality head unit, and this would definitely motivate me to do it. Here is a link to a video example of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9AjJW0H93Y

Yes it is working perfectly fine. I've just recently started using it. It also has inbuilt internet browser and u can also watch videos from your device's internal or sd storage. But i prefer using AnyAutoAudio app while driving because its much safer as it plays youtube on the background n u dont get distracted by the video too

"Apr 2018 : Google has blocked all custom apps on Android Auto, hence this app won't work anymore." ((
Someone figured out a solution for this? Like making an Xposed module for the Google services.
I am also interested since, from April, it does not work with my daughter's displeasure anymore
there is a solution for no-root

You can downgrade the Google Play Service to 12.21.
It works. And also using Android Auto v2.95
But I choose mirroring app Android Auto over the carstream.

If you have no root, then you have to re-install the GPS every time its update.
If not, then you won't get the app working.
If you're rooted user, then you can use the lucky patcher in my case and searching for update in GPS and then disable the package.
In my case, I used the following step below based on my experienced:
1. Open LuckyPatcher
2. Tap search box
3. Search for Google Play Services
4. Tap the Google Play Services
5. Choose Menu of Patches then click Yes.
6. Choose change the app components
7. Tap the disable components 'pm disable' method in the first row
8. Then search for update and you can disable:
com.google.android .gms.update.SystemUpdateActivity (in tab Activities)
com.google.android.location.internal.NlpNetworkProviderSettingUpdateReceiver (In tab receiver)
com.google.android.lgms.update.SystemUpdateService
9. Just enjoy it! :good::good:
Already using this for months and no auto update for Google Play Services. But I'm using GPS 12.6.85 with the AA mirror and Android Auto 3.2.58 on rooted devices. And I'm not using the carstream again but using AA mirror and I can play youtube or even all of the apps on my phone in the head unit. FYI the carstream won't work in my version. I haven't tried it though.
Always Have a full functional Backup. Just in case!
Disclaimer: I will not be held responsible for any damage or loss caused by following those steps.

There's a thread about Apps That Do Not Work with Android "L" Preview but now that Lollipop official factory image is out, I think it's time to start a new thread.
I've updated my Nexus 5 to Lollipop yesterday and thanks to CF Auto Root and Titanium Backup, I've managed to restore most of my apps' data. So far, the only app that seems to be completely broken is Freedome 1.0.40.1123 (aka F-Secure Freedome VPN). It shows a "Network request failed" error dialog. logcat output is attached, and I've sent their support an email.
Update: Freedome 1.0.41.1142 works fine on Lollipop.
WiFi Web Login 4.1.27 is failing more often then working, but no crashes or stacktraces in logcat. I've already sent them an email reporting this.
Please contribute to this list.

Office mobile always asks you to check connection.

Marked app as incompatible with Android 5+. Due to changes in Android 5.0, it is no longer possible for an app to unlock the device. Thanks, Google. If I can find a way around this, I will, but don't get your hopes up.

can't install many things
Has anyone else had trouble installing things in the first place? For example, I need to install the Amazon Appstore, but after downloading and opening the apk file the "Install" button will not react. The "Cancel" button works just dandy, but there are several things I've come across that have the same problem as the appstore. Is this due to security settings, the apps needing to be updated, or what? Very irritating. Lollipop is flashy and all that, but so far has been a bit of a pain what with the manual flashing and the root runaround I've had.
Up until recently google had blocked car stream via updates to Android auto and play services. The only way to keep car stream working was to keep those two apps rolled back to certain versions and not take updates. Problem is play services auto updates regardless of settings for such, and will randomly disable YouTube auto until roll back again.
Well thekirankumar updated carstream to version 2.0.0 and with it brought instructions to bypass these blocks. You can find it here at his github. The instructions were a little complicated for your average user and even then contained some uneeded steps. So I'm going to summarize....
Update play services and Android auto (woo!).
Install carstream (Android auto) from the github link above.
Then follow his guide step 1-8, I'll qoute...
"1. Start Android Auto on your phone (the phone is not attached to anything at this time)
2. Click on the menu on the top left (three bars)
3. Click "About"
The following steps may already be done. I am including them for reference for newbies.
4. If developer mode is not enabled, click on the bar "About Android Auto" 10 times.
5. Click on the three dot menu (on the top right)
6. Click on "Developer settings"
7. Click on Application Mode and set to "Developer". Also go to the bottom of the developers settings and make sure "Unknown Sources" is checked.
8. Click back, and then go to the three dot menu. Click "Start head unit server"."
Now connect the phone to your car and accept any permissions it may ask you for.
Disconnect the phone, click stop on the head unit server from your notification bar.
Then follow his steps 20-23, I'll qoute...
"20. Now, go to your apps, and start Carstream
21. Click on "Unlock[Root]" and grant Root access when prompted (screenshot below)
22. Reboot the phone
23.Once the phone reboots, connect the phone to your car, and start Android Auto. Go to the speedometer thing (on the lower right side of the screen) and see if Carstream is listed. If it is, give thanks below. If it isn't, I don't know what to tell you."
All done
Worked for me! ?

It's an error on clicking Unlock [Root] in Carstream. I granted Root permissions at the prompt. Still it's a permission denied error.

Make sure you have busybox. Though This message usually occurs when the apps aren't updated (either Android auto or play services). Reboot and try again.

It Depends. If your bootloader is already unlocked, you won't loose anything by rooting. If your bootloader is locked then unlocking it (to allow root) will erase everything.

Does the phone have to be rooted?
It's 2 weeks, I can't have any response from Google assistant on AA. The assistant is working fine without Android auto.
If I ask something for example a destination, it works, but no voice answer anyway.
So I can't have any info about Weather or calendar etc...
Does anyone have the same issue?
Already tried to reinstall AA, Google and Google Play services (delete cache and data)...but it does not help...
Xperia x compact Oreo
What happen?
Same problem hier - when the assistant is replying, the headunit mutes..
https://support.google.com/androidauto/thread/2475001?hl=en
I think that MAYBE you are experiencing the same problem as I am.
If you manually trigger assistant in your phone by holding the middle icon/button and say a command like call someone it will display a screen asking you for activation. No matter how many times you activate it. It will deactivate again and you will have to do the same process again.
Or it can be the mute headunit bug. I think I have both.
The issue is on the AA app without car unit, too.
Just no answer after asking anything...no assistant voice at all..
But Google app works ok...
Same here. Oneplus 6t. Found other fora describing the problem too. We just have to wait for a fix I think...

Really strange that they managed to mess it up so badly. And apparantly no fix in the latest release.
Still don't understand if all phones have the same issue, or some model only
Having same problem too. No response, only a "blink" sound. The order works but no voice reply
Galaxy S8 Plus + Kenwood Unit
I tried to send a whastapp msg and it works, but no reply when i ask about weather or travel to any place (directly opens navigation app after "blink")

I saw a report of a server-side change. Hopefully this is fixed for everybody.
I use Screen2Auto on an unrooted phone which only seems to work on AA 6.4 or earlier.
Some people have commented that they are being forced to update AA to 6.5.
I had a notification that said something about a required update to AA. I tried to read it but it just took me to the AA update page in the PlayStore.
Are some people being forced to update AA?

I was forced to update now I'm trying to find a workaround.
Yes.
Do not proceed, un-install the latest update of Google Play Services.
If already installed the AA update, so remove the update of play services and re-install the old version of AA from April.
All good.
I uninstalled the latest update of Google Play Services and rolled back Android Auto to version 6.3, but Android Auto will not work unless you hit the update button.
it's not that I'm sitting here wearing a tin foil hat or anything.. but I think we should discuss workaround methods in private messages. Google obviously has some form of eyes watching these forums because everytime a workaround is discussed it magically gets patched not soon after.

I also have a non-root Galaxy S7 (G930V) on Android 8. Uninstalled AA last year as I've been screen mirroring using USB to my BMW MMI (no touch screen). If I now install AA (6.5 from Play Store), then I won't be able to install S2A with AAAD at this point? Should I try to find and load AA 6.4 and attempt the S2A install or wait to see if they'll be an update to S2A and AAAD that works with AA 6.5?

I was incorrect about the Android Auto version on my non-rooted G930V. I'm actually on version 6.3.611324.

One question about this: does it download app data afterwards during your drive?
Additional question: can you also clear data and cache after being connected to Android Auto? I would prefer a Tasker task to do this for me. The idea is to clear data and cache as soon as I get connected to Android Auto.

Is your tinfoil hat borken? If so, just use the AM/FM radio or cassette player. If you want "free" from Google, you have to pay. Seriously, they make money by trying to target advertising at you.
What do you want to say me?
Tasker is an app which can automize things. For example it can automize the clearing of cache and data.
I wanted to clear data and cache automated so that I don't have to do all the clicks by myself.
I just want to know if I have to program the task to clear data and cache every day or everytime I connect to Android Auto...

Not ready as updating or something. But after I added a card via my banks app, it will let me pay fine. Just need to choose Google pay in the NFC settings.
But you can’t launch the Wallet app and for example switch between different cards, right? Did you try to reinstall, delete the app data and so on?
Can you check the power consumption of single core and multi core in Geekbench using perfdog? i can lend you an account and tell you how to measure it. It's not difficult.

Cheers mate. Its my only missing piece of info before pulling the trigger on purchasing. Seems to be plenty of reviews out there focusing on the camera quality
Shame about AA and Gpay though. Any other quirks worth mentioning?
Could you make screenshots or a simple screen recording of the camera app and all its features? Especially
Video mode: Supported Resolutions and Framerates
LOG / Cine Video Mode: Supported Resolutions and Framerates
Portrait Video Mode: Supported Resolutions and Framerates
Also: How would you root? Vivo still does not allow bootloader unlocking afaik, and the glitch from X70 and X80 seems to be fixed.
