Has anyone here used the app CarStream to watch Youtube?

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

It seems to work well

"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.

Sorry for late reply..
You can download the GPS from here.
For the android auto you can search it in the apkmirror too.

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.

Carstream (aka YouTube auto) working with update phone w/root

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! ?

While watching the video, go full screen. When full screen, tap on the video and a little box on the right side will pop up that say either "fil, contain, or fit" I think. Tap on the box to cycle through viewing options

Superb...work fantastic with 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.

Can someone tell me how to make Here maps work on the Watch 3? I've downloaded and can see my location. What I can't seem to do is enter a destination location. Well, I can enter one, but nothing happens. Also, if I try to download a state map, I receive the error message saying I have no space, but I have 4 GB available on the watch.

Looks like Here needs an update for latest tizen/watch3
Not asking for the storage permision so can't download offline maps.

Am I the only one that can't see Here, either on the watch or the store?

Another fan of Here We Go maps!

So, it turns out that Australia doesn't get Here maps on the Watch3 by default
However, if you VPN your phone to the US, you can install it from there. Worked for me this morning. The app works fine once you turn the VPN off too.

Here we go pushed an update that made more faster and has offline capabilities.

Google Cast & "Coolwalk"

After seeing the articles about the new files being in the latest beta version I took a dive in and looked to see how to enable it. Here's some basic steps for that.
​1. You will need to be rooted and on the latest beta. "7.3.120244-release.daily"​2. Download a database editor, I used SQLite Editor.​3. Open SQLite and under "apps" section navigate to Google Play Services and open it.​4. Scroll down to phenotype.db and select it.​5. Look for "flags" and open it.​6. On the top select "set filter" input Coolwalk__enabled.​7. change all bootVal from 0 to 1.​8. Now search for cakewalk and do the same.​9. Lastly search for MirrorApp__enabled and change those.​
Now just restart your phone and connect to Android auto. You will need to enable coolwalk on the head unit settings. To switch from full screen and condensed press and hold the new UI home button. I need another phone to show off cast, but it does work. You just can't do Netflix/Hulu what not. You also need to be in park. I haven't found what to change to eliminate that. Anyone else wants to help give it a shot.
UPDATE: if you have sqlite3 installed with magisk you can also create a trigger like so in termux.
Code:
Su
Sqlite3
.open /data/data/com.google.android.gms/databases/phenotype.db
CREATE TRIGGER after_update
AFTER UPDATE ON Flags
BEGIN
UPDATE Flags SET boolVal=1 WHERE name='Coolwalk__enabled';UPDATE Flags SET boolVal=1 WHERE name='MirrorApp__enabled';UPDATE Flags SET boolVal=1 WHERE name LIKE 'Coolwalk__%' AND boolVal=0;
END;
​​

works fine, thank you

working! maps looks a bit bugged when navigation is on (can't see road indications) but probably is just a matter of time they fix it... thanks bro!!

I enabled all the flags but can't get the option...anything I'm missing? I'm on Android 12 and latest AA 7.3 beta

@niccotaglia are you using exactly the android auto version as described "7.3.120244-release.daily"? if not you should try this

I was using 7.3.120444. Will try 120244

Works great! I tried it on both the 7.3.120244 and the 7.3.120444 beta version and both worked. I did have to revert all the tweaks from AA AIO Tweaker and uninstall the app first to get it to work.

Still not working...I tried everything imaginable but nothing works.

I ended up nuking Play services data and starting from a fresh database. I used AIO Tweaker to enable it and now it works

Can someone give me more information about the Cast function?

These 3. And no, i didn't do any manual database editing

Perhaps we can use the cast function for Screen2Auto and Fermata in the future as Google always tries to block 3rd party apps.

Yes, I randomly got the same black screen too, although the bottom bar is still visible/clickable. Restart AA will be back to normal. I think it's just a bug in the AA beta.

General I have an X90 Pro+ in the UK - AMA

Can confirm it's blisteringly fast and the camera is amazing.
Quick updates.....
Not tested yet - android auto.
Can't make work - vibration notifications.

Origin OS, I presume?
Any problems with Google apps?

Yup latest Origin.
Full Google play etc. No Google stuff that doesn't work I've found.
Gpay working too.

Not sure why but my gpay is not working.
Btw it looks like we can't remove some chinese stuff via adb without root .Which is sad.

Yeah I found that with ADB.
So Gpay is odd. The app doesn't work (not ready yet updating error) BUT allowing my bank to add the card to Google pay via its own app worked and allows me to use it.

What's your thoughts on the battery life with the new processor? Does it last a day after heavy usage?

What is the message or error you’re getting when trying to open Google Wallet?

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.

Does the timeline in Google maps work? Thank you

By the way is your phone ringing when you get a call on messenger ? I can't manage to get it ringing . It only vibrates with the screen off .
