Need help with a setup I am trying to put together.. I have a galaxy tab tablet that I am using as my main monitor in my car. I downloaded android auto (latest version) but I cant get the new UI to show up.. I tried head unit reloaded but I get lots of crashes.. I got the tick mark for try the new UI in the settings but I cant get the new UI to show up. Is there any way to get this in a stand alone tablet ?

Hi,
I have searched on the internet but I can't find any good info about android auto.
First I don't understand how it works. I have seen that you need android auto on your phone in order to communicate with your car device but what is running on the car device? Is a different type of operating system?
Can I add an application developed for Android on Android Auto?

AA consists of 2 parts -
AA application running on the phone
AA client on say a car headunit (could also be another android phone or an android tablet) that mirrors the AA phone display
AA can be run self hosted on a phone, then you don't need the second part.
If you want to have a fixed display (client/server setup) in the car & you don't already have a car headunit supporting AA, you can install an app such as HUR- https://forum.xda-developers.com/ge...ndroid-4-1-headunit-reloaded-android-t3432348 on the headunit/tablet. There's a trial version that you can download to try.
Hi kk131
Thank you for your replay.
So if is running on my phone this means that all my phone application will be available on my car console?

As the purpose of AA is to enable phone use during driving, it provides limited access with a simplified display :
Google assistant - so you can have voice interaction
Phone
Navigation - waze/google maps
Music apps - google play music, spotify (depends what you have installed on your phone)
Great info.
I am asking this because I have an application of podcast on google play and I would like to be available on AA and I am trying to find out how can I do that.
Do you know any relevant info on the web that can clarify me? I am guessing that there are some constraints if we speak of automotive
Install AA on your phone., run it, see if the app is shown in the menu. If it isn't you can go into AA developer mode and enable 'unknown sources' and test again. The thread I referenced above covers getting in AA developer mode.
If that test is successful, then go further and install the client on your car console.
Great, I will try it and come back with some answers.
Thank you for your time
Hello again,
I manage to complete all my tests and all was ok. I have installed a few applications and one custom application and all worked ok.
I have one more question for you if you can help me of course.
Do you know a tutorial or something from where I can start with Android auto? I have seen that there are not tow application (one for Android and one for Android auto ) is the same app but for Auto version are fewer scenes.
If you can give me a hint here it will be just great.
Thank you.

It would be helpful to know what hardware you have in your car.
I'm not an expert, I use a Nexus 7 tablet for the car display with headunit reload (HUR).
I lost the ability to use Android Auto on my phone screen after upgrading to Android 10 and then doing a factory reset. I was really upset because I use it all the time! It makes using navigation, music and messaging safer while driving. I seriously missed it! Unrelated, I installed an app called "Activity Launcher" while following directions to enable RCS in Android Messages. Tonight I was thinking about how I was unable to launch Android Auto, even though it is actually on my phone. So, I looked for it in Activity Launcher. Found it. And started clicking on things under it. Turns out, clicking the one that says "LaunchPadInternalActivity" will start Android Auto on my phone screen!! Even better, if you long-press it, you are able to create a shortcut to launch it directly from your home screen! So, what I'm saying is, I found a backdoor way to use Android Auto on my phone screen, even though Google took it away! Hope this is useful for some of you on here!
Thank You!!!!!!! Finally a solution that works.
I wish you happiness mate!
Hi guys!
I m new here and i ve been searching for it mostly here and in web researches, but cannot find a clear answer.
Does anyone know a ROM suitable for a tablet (i have a xiaomi clover that i could use for it) that i could mount on my motorbike for gpx navigation, maybe weather and music also ( getting real time machine data via the ECU, as speed, revs, temperature etc would be awesome too! )
It ll be great if a tablet could actually (replace, or) complete the dashboard informations,
Does anyone has a clue about which way i should dig around ?
thanks you all
I have a nexus 5x always in car, for android auto. I have rooted the phone and Uninstall most of android. Including phone app, sms, etc. I have only keep the core of android and gaps so to run android auto and evey app i wanted. This is the way..
I guess you are not looking for a ROM but for some apps to be installed in your tablet or phone.
You can test some Car Launchers you can find in the Store.
To get real-time parameters you will need an ODB connected to your bike and for the software, with any ODB you buy there will be a basic app to obtain real-time data. Specifically for motorbikes you have MOTOSCAN.
Hey Guys
i'm trying to look for an easy way for me to get android auto on my head unit
I do not know what head unit I got , I tried tp look what I have but couldn't find it in the about menu (gave me only hardware name) .

I do know that app called "headunit reloaded" and I want to try it but I'll try the trial first

thanks guys!
Hi, I am naveen from India..
First of all, i would like to thank @RZaR2001 who helped me to upgrade my NRM3 from android 9(GLOBAL) to android 11(CN ROM), and i am really enjoying this Upgrade..
After upgrading, I had some issues like banking apps were not working, games were crashing in about 3-4 mins, and not getting notifications while screen was off, etc . So these issues have been sorted out now with the help of Magisk App and some tweakings on settings.
But the major issue which has not been resolved yet is -
SCREEN MIRRORING
It is not working on android 11( CN ROM)
Wireless projection option is there on notification bar's menu
But not working
I dont know why
Has anyone tried ever to mirror his android screen after upgrading?
And
If u go to settings and scrolldown you wont find any option named CONNECTION PREFERENCE
But If you go and search CAST in settings SEARCH BAR, u will get that option under settings/connection preference/cast/cast
I selected that and finally atleast i was able see that screencast option to enable from there and can see my samsung tv there but unfortunately my tv says RED MAGIC 3 IS UNABLE TO CONNECT. TRY CONNECTING YOUR MOBILE INSTEAD.
Seems like, default miracast or screencast has been disabled in chinese rom, They have their own WIRELESS PROJECTION APP which never finds my Tv, and shows the same msg "no device found nearby, try installing lebo screen projection client on tv".
But yes, i can screencast YOUTUBE directly from the youtube app itself, there it gets connected so don't know how to get this sorted out..
If anyone of you has faced this issue or have any solution against that, please guide..
