AA MIRROR (vs AA MIRROR PLUS) INSTALL / ORIENTATION ISSUES / APK SOURCES - Android Auto General

I've not been able to find original sources for "AA MIRROR", but have found someone's copy of something called "AA MIRROR PLUS" and have installed that:
Is the plus version a different product or new name for it?
Where can you go to always download the latest APK?
I also installed the latest version of "Phenotype Patcher" (rather than the version the instructions mentioned) which I found at "https://github.com/Eselter/AA-Phenotype-Patcher/tree/master/app/release".
I gave it a quick test (on my Ford SYNC 3 display) and my main issue with it is that it doesn't lock the screen orientation (I won't be looking for other issues unless I can solve this one). In portrait mode, the screen is too hard to read, seems I'd want to FORCE landscape mode (no matter how I drop/prop the phone)
Is this something you have to do separately outside of the mirror app?
I followed the instructions and changed AA MIrror Plus' "Screen rotation" and "rotation degree" to FORCE 90, whatever that means? Where can I find that out? I also tried other variations that also didn't seem to do anything.

AA Mirror Plus have some additional settings for screen but it doesn't work so it doesn't matter which one you install. Screen orientation was working fine in Android Oreo. In the Pie version there is a problem with these settings. Maybe not on all systems but I experienced this based on many tries on my Note 9.
Another issue is that on Samsung phones with Pie there is a problem with screen mirroring (black screen issue) and there is another version of AA Mirror to support ScreenStream all to solve that issue (you can find detail info on separate XDA thread).
In terms of orientation issue I just put the shortcut on launcher desktop to change the orientation manually (force landscape or vertical one). I created it using Tasker app (you can find it in Play Store). The same for restoring screen size and density (another icon prepared in Tasker to restore normal settings when the screen is dettached from car system).

I've got the that exact problem as I've the Note 9 with Pie! I've been searching around the place the last week or so and haven't been able to find anything except this reference to the solution. Could you please do me a favour and pass on the link for the solution? I would appreciate it so much. Thank you!

If i would be using aamirror with screenstream on note9 with pie on it, would i still have touch functionality on the car's touchscreen? I guess not?

Yesterday i installed aa mirror and aa mirror plus with my oneplus one Pie. i had the same issue with the plus version so i changed to the normal version and it worked fine for me (orientation - force 90º degrees).

Yes, of course. I have exactely the same config (as you know from other thread as we discussed ) - means: AA Mirror with ScreanStream on Note 9 with Pie and touch on the screen of car system is working with no problem at all.

The solution for that black screen issue on Android Pie is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78548457&postcount=383
In short words: you need modified AA Mirror (available from the link above) and ScreenStream app.
Regards!

The problem with Screen Stream is sadly the long latency time.
Hope that there will be a fix for pie in the future, so we don't need that sh*t any more and still use the phone without this lag.

I am using a U11 and Pixel 3aXL, it mirrors just fine but the touch screen does not work in the apps or the native launcher. Anybody have this issue and if so, what fixed it?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Screen shaking

Hi All,
I am very new to galaxy tab.
I am running on official gingerbread, flashed following the guidelines on the site. Other than a checksum error it went smoothly and working just fine.
I have another problem though. When I hold it in portrait mode, trying to move up and down with my finger causes the screen to shake.
Somerimes more sonetines a little less but it is always there.
In landscaepe mode it almost does not exist, working smooth.
I tried doing a lot of search but could.not find anything on it.
unfortunately I did not pay attenrion if it was hapening on stock froyo, did not stay on that long enough.
Charging or not does not affect it.
Being suspicious about screen protector I rwmoved it but no change
Did anyone else experience anyrhing similar?
Thanks in advance for help.
Same problem here
Hi, I have the same problem here, I did woked on froyo for about a day or two, and the problem was not there, I upgraded to Overcome 2.0 and the problem is now there.
Similar to you, on landscape the problem is less evident, but still there.
In my case, on you-tube application, I don't have any shacking.
I hope someone finds a solution, problem seems to be software-based.
I just checked it, you are right, youtube does not present the same problem.
Lets hope for a solution from the experts.
Cheers
anyone?
this shaking is driving me nuts......the screen shakes so much when held down down that it pretty much renders google maps unuseable.
HELP PLEASE!!!
is it a screen sensitivity issue that we can tweak or something?
i've been googling for a month for answers now but no luck...
please please...
Similar topic in XDA
Hi guys, there is a similar topic here in XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14354988&posted=1#post14354988
I have the same problem in my Galaxy Tab, and I show in a page in fgfaria.com
I now suspect it may be a deffect in some specific feature in some library used by some apps and not used in other apps.
I installed Android SDK in my PC, and created an simple app following a tutorial, with a list of countries that can be scrolled up and down. In this very simple app, the problem doesn't happen, just like youtube.
I've found an app that could potentially solve the problem, but my GT is not rooted, and can't use it. It's called "ILITEK Touch Utility" and it's available for free in Android Market.
Let me know if it's useful for any of you.
Regards,
Fabio
My tab does exactly the same thing as per your weblink.
The app i have download but once i hit the calibrate button, I somehow get denied access.
Any way around it? This shaking is getting old......sigh
Software, not hardware
Hi all,
In addition to touch test apps and youtube app, there are some other apps that don't present the problem. One specific interesting case is the one of the HelloListView tutorial presented in Android Developers website.
I've followed the tutorial, and created this illustrative app that just creates a list and allows you to scroll up and down. This specific app doesn't present the problem we've been discussing. I've made it available for download as apk file in the end of that same testing page (fgfaria.com)
That application being so simple and not presenting the problem, and the other apps that also don't present it, makes me think that the problem may appear when some specific library gets included in an app. Possibly something related to hardware acceleration, for example (just guessing, no specific reasons to believe that).
If only we could isolate the cause of the problem, we could notify Google and/or Samsung and influence a new patch release.
This is as far as I have gone so far. Ideas, reactions?
Regards,
Fabio

Hi Chris, I believe the denied access is because the GT is not rooted. The app must need access to pretty low level adjustments, and only rooting the device would make that possible.
I have the same messages in my GT, but rooting is kind of my last option to solve this.
My current options are:
1) Wait for an official Gingerbread update
2) If that doesn't solve, I'll contact my factory warranty
3) If they deny this is a problem, or if they can't fix it, I'll try rooting and using this app
While the first option is not available, I'll continue my search for another fix.

Fabio

Another possible explanation for the problem not happening in the app from the tutorial is that libraries being used include some kind of filter not used in problematic apps...
mine shakes but not noticable,.. i didn't notice this on froyo
Hi,
Thank you all for responses. I have been searching too but did not find anything.
However I have a theory.
The screen shaking phenomenon does not happen (or unnoticably little) when you are on a dark screen. Web browser included.
Is this your observation too?
Cheers
mine do shake even if its dark, originally i found this "bug" couple of days ago, when im in bed late at night, i initially thought that the shaking was via my finger, and was surprised to see this post a while ago
Note: My tab is rooted because I'm currently running the Overcome 2.0 RC1 rom.
*major headache *
Fully agree! Mine shakes only in light background! Same problem, but in this case, it looks more like a hardware issue than software (intuitively, at least, hardware is more likely to be affected by screen luminosity than software). The solution though, could be a software filter of fast screen movements...
Anyone? There is a solution for Galaxy S (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844216&page=3#). There must be a solution for Galaxy Tab 7 too...

Anyone running Sixaxis and Cromi-X or other ROM?

Hello, I'm on Cromi-X and running the Sixaxis app and a PS3 controller. I have no problem with the basic functionality - it works just like it does on all my other Asus tablets. However, I have found one kind of big bug and I was hoping someone else could check this for me on their systems. The problem I'm having is a crash every time I try to open up a background image to make a touch profile. This is the "Change Background" button under the "edit touch profiles." Every time I select "Change Background" it crashes (actually it says Unfortunately...has stopped), it doesn't drop back to desktop, only to the previous menu level in the program.
I can build a touch profile, drop buttons and joysticks and it will work, but it's very much trial and error process without being able to import a screenshot to overlay while you are working. Has anyone else seen this? I tried uninstall, re-install, closing everything else, etc. I've been searching and cannot find anyone else posting about this type of crash (on any system) so I wonder if it is something unique to the TF701T or maybe Cromi-X (I'm on Deodex 6.1 and love the rom). I am hoping that I am not the only Sixaxis user running Cromi-X 6.1 at the moment. Note that you do not have to have a controller on or paired to test this - you can create profiles without needing a controller. Thanks in advance.
Hello friend.
I was running your setup exactly... however I've never tried to create a touch profile. As you, I did find that everything else worked properly on that ROM with sixaxis. It's a great ROM! If I decide to flash back to it, I'll give it a shot and let you know. Sorry I can't help.

I've never used it before but it seems to work for me. Not sure if I am doing it right
Main Screen Select
Menu > Preferences > Touch Emulation > Edit Touch Profiles
Then Double tap for menu > Change Background
I have an option for either Gallery or G+Photos and I select Gallery then I find the image and it's good.
Gallery version is 5.1.20131213 which is the Asus stock version (I think)
Did you maybe change your screen resolution? I am no the default.
You know what, I think your reply might have helped me figure out the problem. I don't see gallery installed and maybe this program is calling it. I'll look back, but maybe the 6.1 version of Cromi-X has it on the removed app list. I'm traveling, so it might be hard for me to restore it, but I will definitely give that a shot when I get back home next week. Thanks for the help.

Not that weird. Devs tie their apps into an existing eco system. Why not use services that are installed by default instead of duplicating it? We custom rom users are a tiny minority among Android users. So we'll always have to find our own solutions. Which is part of the fun, right?

He does now! It's because Asus called it called Asus Studio (not gallery) which is more than just a gallery but is full on picture editing (bloatware)

Seicane unit screen problem

Hi,
I have a problem with the screen: the image is smaller than the screen.
The unit is: Seicane/ MTCB-KLD2-V2.81/ARM Cortex-A9 @1.6GHz (x4)/ rk3188-eng4.4.4 27112015/Kernel [email protected]#1704
The problem can be seen in the photos attached.
The story is:
-Initially I had a problem with the system sounds (touching any button triggered a sound). I tried to reduce the volume from factory settings. the unit didn't kept the settings. They sent me the first update img file. It didn't solve the problem.
-They sent a 2ndimg file that solved the sound problem but the image shortened.
-The 3rd update img file still didn't solved the screen problem.
At the 2nd update I chose to wipe data and format flash. Probably that was what caused the image problem.
Now if I check the resolution, this is 480x800. On their website (seicane SKU: 118328 Model:S168073) it says HD 1024x600.
I rooted the 2nd update version with Kingroot and used an app to change the resolution: it changed it but with the same dimension of the image (only icons size changed)
I would need something to stretch the image over the whole screen.
Any ideeas?
Thanks.
i65.tinypic.com/4v3kgo.jpg
i66.tinypic.com/6qe9g6.jpg
I have another question. If I do a Factory Reset, will I be able to restore it with the update file provided by the Seicane team? Or I need the mcu also? Can I use an Kld mcu downloaded from internet?
Hello/Salut Bogdan.
The problem it appears to be that they have sent you the wrong firmware. You have allready requested them a Rom to solve your first issue and they have sent you the firmware with problem solved but for the lower resolution device model. I guess that they did this intentionaly beacuase it is a bug that they are still working on it and it is not yet fixed for your version of resolution.
The MCU is the kernel, do not mess with it, do not flash new one ! Wiping data will affect only the rom (not the MCU).
My personal recomendation is to download the Malaysk rom (for your resolution 1024x600) and install that one. It works very well.
Or you cand wait a bit longer for the seller to provide you with the correct screen resolution Rom.
OK. Thanks. I'm gonna try to update the software again with the last -3rd- update they sent. But this tine I'm going to wipe the data from flash. If it doewn't work I'll use what you suggested.
I've tried again Seicane s image. It didn't work. Than I've installed the 1024x600 Malaysk...and Hurray!! Now I'm configuring it. Hope this image is stable.
Thanks.

Glad to hear it worked. Please remember to wype data in recovery menu after it installs (two times to be sure) beacuase this Rom resizes the system partition and you need to clear data from recovery. Otherwise it will boot but you will have problems with it.
Best regards!
I did it exactly like Malaysk said. 2 times and wiped data.
What was interesting: it didn't have Google navigation installed. I had to install it from Google Play.

The noise when touching any button isnt a "problem" its a setting - in settings/sound you just uncheck the box that say sound on keypress.
The problem was that the unit didn't "remember" that I unchecked the box. And the sound is annoying for me.

Ah, right, I ve not heard of that before, not remembering radio stations and the time, yes, but not forgetting the sound box is unchecked.
Yes. Anyway, it was real disappointment to see how their engineering team wasn't capable of making the difference between resolutions. 3 no updates with the same wrong resolution, after explaining them what is happening and after I sent them photos and videos with the problem. They kept assuring me that the problem is solved in the new update etc.
Good thing with Internet nowadays and people that use their time to help others.

If youre referring to Seicane, then you werent speaking to an engineering team - Seicane are just a seller, selling Klyde units, you d have to speak to Klyde if you wanted to speak to the hardware engineering team (find them on Alibaba) or MTC if you want to speak to the software engineering team, but no one knows anything about them other than their name, its long been rumoured that theyre based in India.
Latest updates for MTCB units are on the fileserver (see my signature) listed by resolution and processor type.
It seems that I need to ask you again about the unit.
Yesterday I was looking to find how to have as default the Music app from android for the music files on an USB. Currently, the mp3's from usb open only with ES File Explorer app. And it doesn't play the folder, only one melody at a time.
Looking through the settings I found "Do not show the icon on boot". I activated the setting.
Next morning, the unit started as usual, BUT the screen is not responsive to touch. I rebooted...same problem. I entered the boot menu and chose to wipe data and clear cache...same problem.
It shows everything on the screen: all the icons, it shows the speed of the car in the Circle, it show how it connects to Wi-Fi, to GPS etc. It just doesn't respond to touch and I can't access anything.
Before I go with full re-flashing of the unit, I'm asking if anyone has had this problem with Malaysk image.

I would suggest that your USB drive is not showing up in filemanager for some reason and thats why the built in music player isnt playing them, what USB port are you using ?
Connect a mouse to the front USB and you ll be able to access stuff, do a factory reset and see if that brings back your screen, when was the last time you updated your MCU ? what MCU are you on now ?

I've never changed the MCU (MTCB-KLD2-V2.81). The only thing I did was to flash a new image from Malaysk that solved the resolution problem. And it work very well until I changed that setting yesterday.
If I use the File Manager app I can see the USb and the mp3 in it. Just when choose to play them it just plays the file chosen with ES File Explorer and not with Music app. Looking through settings, I found somewhere to choose the app for media player and it was Music. But the unit just didn't want to play the mp3's with it.
After wipe/clear data from boot menu it didn't restart with the Car Mode launcher but with the launcher that has 2 rectangles on Home page (1 with speed and 1 with the date).
It seems odd that everything works (show speed, shows connection, it even appear a message to rate the app), but I can't do anything as the touch doesn't work.
I'm hoping it's not hardware (touch screen), but software.

My MCU is from 25 October 2015. In the server files from your signature I found the last one from 15 Feb 2015.
I know there are more launchers to choose from. And initially I chose the one with Circle and the list of app shortcuts in the centre.
I'll re-install the ROM again to see if it's solving the "untouchable" screen.

I do not quite understand you're issue.
If you swipe from left to right (in music app) your USB drive is showing up?
Or, you can see files in music app but they are not play-able?
1st problem was the music: mp3 files from usb were getting opened only with ES File Explorer. Music app didn't open them automatically. I opened Music app and tried to upload the music in a playlist but I couldn't find how to do it. So, my idea was that if I change the default app that plays mp3 files (because I was thinking that maybe it is not Music app the default one) to Music app, than the mp3 files will be automatically played by the Music app. While I was checking this setting, I found another setting that said "Remove icon from boot" or something similar. And I ticked it. After that the screen was non-responsive. ... which was the 2nd problem.
Today I flashed the last ROM from Seicane. It reversed back to the small screen (800x400), BUT now I have a responsive screen. Everything works- at least I'm happy that the unit doesn't have a hardware problem.
I am going now to flash the Malaysk ROM again, so I can have the 1024x600 screen.
For me it seems a bit complicated this Malaysk version. It looks nice, but I like things simple and reliable. Somewhere on this forum I found somebody talking about "Bondooroc" (??????) ROM. I can't find anymore as I can't remember the correct name. Is it better than Malaysk?

Facebook Chat Head Shortcut - Not able to create (Android Oreo)

anyone also facing the same issue?
on Nougat i can just create a chat head shortcut from Facebook Messenger
but once i updated to Oreo (CLEAN INSTALL, full wipe and all)
i can no longer create any shortcut
- tried to uninstall/reinstall
- tried to be a part of the beta program
- clear cache/data
still same
any resolution would be great
thanks!
Same issue.
Yep I have the same thing.
Beta or not, still missing.
What launcher y'all using? Does it depend on the launcher? ???
Hi, What I have read, it does not depend on launcher, it depends on the OS it self. Oreo for some reason disabled this feature on lots of apps that can make shortcuts like that.
I've encounter the same thing on messenger but this is what i did (see ss) and it works fine now. I hope that's the same thing you mean.
It's in the settings>apps>messenger and look into advance option.
Warrenforfree I think perhaps you've misunderstood the issue here? Apologies if I am wrong. I think you're response is in regards to chat heads not showing over other apps or at all. However, the issue in question is that on devices running the Oreo OS, you are not able to create a shortcut on the home screen to individual chats, similar to the attached image.

yes you are right
surprisingly even on 8.1.0 its not there
I'll tell you why FB removed it ... Chat list now contains advertisements that FB wants you to see :/ If there is no way of duplicating desktop shortcuts then there is no way of doing it :/
Hello, new here and have been looking for a solution to this for about half a year. I'm not sure that FB wanting you to see their ads is the case. I have multiple devices that still allow me to add shortcuts to the home screen except for my main phone. I use Nova Prime on all of them and I am not able to add them on my LG G7. The option isn't even there yet it is on all my other devices. When I switch back to the default launcher I still cannot add a shortcut. I've done the whole uninstall/reinstall/ clear the cache/data thing. Contacted FB. Using a Nova backup from a previous phone, LG G6 which already had the shortcuts it put those on my screen and those work just fine.

Since the server pushes update notice to different serial numbers by batches, it may take some days for you to receive the FOTA notice. Thanks for your patience. You may tap “System updates” in [Settings] >[System] to check if there is new firmware available. Or, you can also try to manually update firmware by referring to the following link.
How to update firmware on my phone?
【Release Note】
1. Enable IN Airtel/Idea/Vodafone & ID smarfren & TH DTAC/AIS/True 3rd & RU Megafon/MTS VoLTE & RU MTS VoWifi
2. Optimize fingerprint unlock speed.
3. Improve Camera performance.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Please download and give review about camera and finger print scanner.
PS : Reminding me of my first Motorola Moto G (1st gen) 's frequently updates ( Lenovo killed it though)
Fingerprint scanner is faster now.
Camera slightly better .. especially front camera.
Device is HD capable notification removed with VoLTE icon added in status bar.
New setting under Display named Smart Screen which will prevent screen timeout if you are looking at the screen.
Battery seems to be even better but it's too early to tell.
Face unlock improved slightly.
Yeah the device now supports Airtel Idea and Vodafone VoLTE.
Camera (Especially Front Cam) has improved a lot since last update.
Added VoLTE icon instead of previous 'HD' icon.
Fingerprint sensor is also working more fluidly and efficiently.
Face Unlock is also better than before but still needs a bit fixing maybe with future updates it'll become more secure and efficient.
Attaching a screenshot for those who complained about the Device not supporting Airtel Volte!
We can even alter the temperature of screen within display settings.
Fingerprint and face unlock has surely improved alot.
Camera has now better accuracy in portraits.
But still no support for live wallpapers.
Even, no improvement in audio through wired or bluetooth earphones.
This update removed MusicFX (system equalizer)?
For some reason my MusicFX is gone after this update. Screenshot attached, every music player i have (PowerAmp, Retro Music, Play Music) can't find the system equalizer. How do you report this (and other possible bugs) to Asus anyway?
And yes, fingerprint got better.
pls provide latest xxxxxx309 ota update zip file for
ZB601KL
The multi touch issue still hasn't been fixed. I thought it will be fixed with the May Security patch. Can anyone else check the same?

Hell Yeah No Equalizer in Play Music! Earlier it had Equalizer settings and although i didn't have any issues regarding the audio quality (I have used K3 Note which has Dolby Atmos) still I changed Equalizer Setting to get more Bass! But Now no Equalizer! No MusicFX. Is there any way to Give Feedback about this to Asus.
**Update** I've found some articles(From BGR) on Google regarding installation of Snapdragon Music App and MusicFX. Originally they were posted for OnePlus 5 but now it shows that the apps can be installed on any Snapdragon Device without Root. So can anyone check whether I should install it or not? will it cause any trouble to my phone afterwards? Please Reply!!!

Yes .. Asus has atleast communicated to reviewers that it will provide bi-monthly security updates.
The updates are minor changes and not major upgrades like MIUI8 to MIUI9 or Nougat to Oreo .. so safe to assume that it will get security patches atleast.

Thanks a lot! So i tested it right away, and it works, at least the MusicFX came back and worked without the need to manually push it to system. Once you installed it, you'll be presented with 2 options when you go to the EQ screen, to use Snapdragon Audio+ or just MusicFX (look at my screenshot). Use whichever you want, it will open the same EQ screen with same setting.
I used the XDA link, there you have the option to download 2, APKs: MusicFX.apk, and SnapdragonMusic.apk. The Snapdragon Music didn't work, however. It forces closes. Don't really matter tho.

You're Welcome! Hey but one thing I've noticed is that my device doesn't show any option for Snapdragon Audio+. Mine just shows Equaliser and MusicFX while choosing Equalizer settings in Play Music.

Try this ..
Go to ZenMotion settings ( System - Gesture -ZenMotion )
Disable it with the Toggle on the top & enable it again.
Disable double-tap-to-wake and enable it again.
See if it is fixed.

will not work.. you will have to flash the 247 fastboot ROM first and then update using the 309 ROM. Remember that with fastboot 247 ROM the bootloader will get locked again (you can edit the flashall.bat file to remove the commands for locking the bootloader). Unfortunately the fastboot method will reset your phone.
