Hi,
since one month i have a Xiaomi Redmi 4X with Android 7.1.2
My headunit is a Kenwood DDX9716BTS.
In general AA works fine. I'm just getting no notifications, for example from WhatsApp.
Also i get in the "Home Screen" (the Button in the middle) no info when i'm navigating.
I gave all apps the authorization's they wanted.
My old mobile was a Vernee Thor with Android 6, and it worked with the notifcations.
Is this a well know problem, or has it something to do with my setup?

Hi Guys,
Not sure where to post this, so delete if wrong place.
I have two Xiaomi Phones - a Mi9 and a Redmi Note 9 Pro - both on Stock MIUI 12 Global Rom
On my Mi9, I can add most things to my Android Auto Home screen.
For some reason I can't add or see apps like messenger, signal, whatsapp, etc on my Redmi Note 9 Pro, even though they appear on Mi9.
I have tried to enable dev settings in the app and enabled unknown sources, but still no luck.
Any one in a similar situation or know any solutions?
Thanks
Guys, I've a rooted Moto Z2 force, I'm plannig to use it as an android auto device only. AA is not available in the play store, but I can sidelode any version (I've downloaded the 7.2.62).
I'm tried a couple of tools, AA Tweaker, AA installer, etc, but so far only the cartube application is showing in the car screen (but e.g. fermata auto is not)
I'm planning to use the some official AA applications
- spotify, gmaps, waze, abetterrouteplanner
and would like to have
-youtube, netflix and maybe carscanner on the car screen (in motion as well for the passengers)
Please share you working setup, which tools and which versions (including android auto) are you using with android 9 - or point me to a thread where it is already discussed
Hi.
I have a non root samsung note 9(android 9) with wireless AA set up to aftermarket smart module connected to OEM headunit in my peugeot. Uninstalled AA. Installed screen2auto with AA Ease. Downloaded and installed AA 6.6xxxx version. Activated developer options and selected download from unknown sources. Playstore forced update on my phone to latest version 7.1xxxx but kept original settings and third party apps. Enabled wireless projections on settings and this works quite well provided bluetooth pairing. So can use voice control to for maps, music apps and receive and send messages.

Thank you very much, the android version was the problem I've installed AA version 6.9.613744 (instead of the latest 7.*) and everything started working instantly.
Sorry to bring this topic up again, the solution works for me for a few days, than AA is not showing the extra apps anymore. If I uninstall and install android auto again, it works again for a few days. I have no idea why, is there a blacklist AA downloads?

My samsung note 9 is non root. I installed as described above and still have apps on galaxy note 8(android 9) and note 9 ( recently updated to android 10). You can try clearing cache of AA. But you should read through screen2auto rooted thread as you will probably find solution and/or somebody will offer good solution.

Yes, Google blocked again all 3rd party apps with Android Auto 7.1.
With 7.1 I have the 3rd party apps for about 2 minutes. If I don't start Android Auto in this time, I have to clear data and cache of Google Play Services and Android Auto and do all the setup again. That means I have to do this before every car ride.
I'm still in the 7 day waiting period to unlock phone, currently on Chinese 13.0.25. Just wondering what the experience has been on this vs. the EU Rom available, is there an advantage to switch. Do Google apps come stock on the EU rom?
I definitely recommend the xiaomi.eu version over stock Chinese.
The major benefit is that Google apps are stock, allowing for a less limited android experience.
Beyond that, there's stuff like bloatware and non-english app removal. There's other stuff listed in their changelogs, but those few that I listed are the main things I cared for
The main downside is that there's no auto-updating since TWRP isn't available.
avoid chinese Rom! On EU everything works great
CN ROM does not work, notifications are delayed or never come through, no apps show on the lock screen and there's over 45 preinstalled Chinese apps. If you're planning to use Signal as your default messaging app, then don't.... I spent half a day trying to get Signal to show or notify but doesn't work. It worked perfectly in EEA Stable ROM.
The "find my phone" feature only works in China if logged in to your Xiaomi account and the Mi carrier services also only works in China so you have this useless bubble in the Control Center showing no information.
EU ROM didn't work well for me, slow and sluggish, WiFi hotspot wouldn't work, frequent Bluetooth disconnects. The EEA ROM that's just been released is best.
I didn't realize there was an EEA rom and a Global rom, i'm in Canada on the global ROM and everything is working fine.
Personally, i love Xiaomi EU and i prefer over the EEA/Global rom because on my last 2 phones (POCO F3 and Xiaomi 12 Pro) with the Stock ROM 5g signal doesn't work at all, once updated to the Xiaomi.eu ROM it recieve 5G signal everywhere. On plus you can have update first, and works better even on sh'tty app like FB, IG etc.
EU has been working flawlessly

I have found that China ROM has really bad notification problems, they do not show on lock screen, or if they do, they are delayed by hours. How can I flash Global or EU Rom? Is there a tutorial somewhere?

We don't say EU rom but EEA, to avoid confusion with Xiaomi EU rom (better than stock for CN devices).
Change stock roms(dont re lock the bootloader):https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flash-tool-guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/
If you install a stock rom on a CN device, you must root and use Magisk to have the play store certified, hence the interest of Xiaomi EU roms or it is not necessary for everything to work.

Open-source is the best. Not matter who made.

are there any for mi 12 pro (zeus) /
Here are the main difference between
China ROM Vs EU Rom vs Global Rom
Tested on: Xiaomi 12s Ultra
All known issues that still persist as of June 2023 Miui 14.0.12.0:
China Rom:
1) contacts not at your contact list calling at your phone will always show Unknown Numbers at Notification toolbar
2) AOD display have no option to disable auto turn off if phone prolonged at dark room. So it will always turn off itself.
3) turning off Bluetooth from drop down top menu only turn off 24 hours. This will drive you insane.
4) if you use english, a brief 2 second of Chinese after reboot will show in apps like clock, and calendar app before changing to english. A lot of high end advance settings still have traces of chinese and broken english.
5) And a lot of bugs, crashes, stuttering where china developers never bother to fix.
6) installation of apk have extra security steps.
7) lots of chinese bloatware that cannot be removed. Advertisement in native apps like mi video. You might ask, i can always get vlc. Don't forget, native app functionality is always better because it have better latency! Vlc apk have audio delay! Go see for yourself...
8) feedback all in chinese and they don't read or entertained english complaints.
9) themes and wallpaper are all chinese uploaded community despite changing english.
10) does not support google hands free assistant. ok Google feature will be grey out under settings!!
11) smartwatches you bought globally will not work with playstore global apps. You need to download the chinese version to get it working. For example, Fossil Gen 5e will not work at playstore Wearable App but will work at getapps wearable app.
12)A lot of Bluetooth headset signature compatibility issues. Brands that can't be detected by xiaomi are: Audeze, Turtle Beach, Creative, etc
13) phone crash from app are very frequent. E.g app closing and reopening itself. So is like a 1 second keyboard and app minimized and maximized crash scenarios. At least once every 1 hour from intensive stress testing.
14) very aggressive miui optimization that closes app even when you told them not to. Battery life was excellent.
15) 10 second security delay on unsecure app.
16) system update 1 toogle. Getapps update for your mi apps. And playstore for your 3rd party ones. Can your mother learn this?
17) Torch light that turn itself off in 1 hour. Good luck hiking with it.
18) you can turn off miui optimization and toggle for pause activity in apps are present.
EU Rom:
1)You can't turn off miui optimization, so a few toggle like pause activity only available in off optimization settings. This will drive u nuts as rarely used apps will always need you to grant permission.
2)An active development team that actually fix things. E.g AOD display that stays on forever. Bluetooth that turn off forever from drop down. It will show phone number instead of unknown numbers from notification listing.
3) System update is slow.
4) if you encounter bug in default mi apps like, mi video, messaging, you will need to wait 3 months before it fix. Cause you can't update mi apps via Get apps. Only can update 3rd party apps via playstore.
5) installation of apk have less steps.
6) no bloatware. But still u can find some useless mi app like, mi coin, mi browser which cannot be removed. Advertisement in mi video is also removed, so is wise to use native apps for video because it have better latency!!
7) toxic community and developers that scrutinized your feedback from their forum. E.g their lead Igor is the most toxic developer i ever met. Their tester like gogocar are very helpful and resourceful. Lets hope the war in Russia won't affect their work in the long run if you know what i meant!
8) access to themes and wallpaper are still native chinese.
9) support google hands free assistant. Ok Google features.
10) global wearable apps found at playstore will work with your smart watches.
11)A lot of Bluetooth headset signature compatibility issues. Brands that can't be detected by xiaomi are: Audeze, Turtle Beach, Creative, etc
12) phone crash from app are not that frequent. E.g app closing and reopening itself. So is like a 1 second keyboard and app minimized and maximized crash scenarios. At least once every 3 hour from intensive stress testing.
13) bootloader is unlocked yet the whole rom is still not as flexible as a total rooted device.
14) less aggressive miui optimization that does not closes app when you told them not to. Battery life was excellent.
15) many will choose to go EU Rom, cause at the end of the day, you will hate miui os soo much!
16) 10 second security delay on unsecure app.
17) if you use adb shell command line is now screwed with multiple session that can't be reset to single session no more. There is a emulator user in your rom.
18) straight forward system update that updates all ur mi apps and playstore for your 3rd party ones.
19) Torch light that does not turn itself off.
20) developers hide a lot of features. You can't turn off miui optimization here. And pause app activity toggle is missing.
Global Rom
1) everything in english. If you switch to chinese or other languages, a brief moment of english will show after reboot.
2) contacts not at your least calling at your phone will always show Unknown Numbers at Notification toolbar
3) AOD display have no option to disable auto turn off if phone prolonged at dark room. So it will always turn off itself.
4) turning off Bluetooth from drop down top menu only turn off 24 hours. This will drive you insane.
5) themes and personalized uploads are in english also.
6) support google hands free assistant. Ok Google features.
7) wearable apps from playstore will work with most wearables.
8)A lot of Bluetooth headset signature compatibility issues. Brands that can't be detected by xiaomi are: Audeze, Turtle Beach, Creative, etc
9) phone crash from app are very frequent. E.g app closing and reopening itself. So is like a 1 second keyboard and app minimized and maximized crash scenarios. At least once every 1 hour from intensive stress testing.
10) lots of localized global bloatware apps. Mi video is riddle with advertisement too. So you will have to find alternative app like vlc which has audio delay latency issue in movies.
11) very aggressive miui optimization that closes app even when you told them not to. Battery life was excellent
12) 10 second security delay on unsecure app.
13) realtime updates from getapps and playstore.
14) Torch light that turn itself off in 1 hour. Good luck using it.
15) you can turn off miui optimization.
So in the end what can we learnt and summarize? Miui os is no doubt the worst android operating system in the market when in comparison to samsung one ui.
So which one would you choose? You should choose EU rom. Cause at the end of the day, is about functionality. 1 key difference is that EU Rom AOD display will have the option to stay on forever whereas the 2 other rom does not! This is a deal or no deal breaker when comparing operating system! So, better not buy xiaomi to begin with! End of story.
Hi there, i have installed the screen2auto through the AAAD app, i did the right settings (i think so) and gave the permissions on Xiaomi Note 8 Pro (no root) but when i run the screen2auto 3.6.3 via Android auto i cannot see anything. If for example choose the instagram app or gmail app i can see only a black screen. Is there something i can do to resolve that issue? Or a good tutorial to watch and setup the right settings step by step?
Best regards.

Hi.
I have non rooted Samsung note 9 and using s2a 3.6.2 /wireless Android Auto connection in my car. I have been using it for the last 5 months and it works very well and the s2a app has not dropped off my AA apps. I started by uninstalling AA and installing older version of AA 6.6.xxx . Playstore forced update to newer version of AA. Under settings menu tap the 'Version' 10 times to enter developer settings. Under these setting select(tick) 'download from unknown sources', 'developer mode' and 'wireless projection'.
I know there is a newer version of S2A but I am using 3.6.2 version and will not upgrade because 3.6.3 may not work on my phone. Download S2A 3.6.2 and AA Ease page 94 of this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...rroring-only-for-root-devices.4062787/page-94.
Install S2A with AA Ease and this should install in Android Auto and S2A should show in app list or as one of apps under AA Version.
This has worked for me and not had to reinstall it on a non rooted samsung note 9. I can watch youtube, bbc iplayer but only get sound on netflix because of DRM protection. Also try AAAD because I paid for pro version and Carstream and Fermata Auto work on my phone/car head unit.
