[Q] Skip AA startup check (Google App, Maps, TTS) - Android Auto General

Hello,
is it possible to skip the startup check? I need to run an older version of Google App and AA wants me to update Google App first.
Or pretend that my Google App version is the current one?
The reason why I need to use Google App 7.4 for my tablet are the requirements for Google Assistant (newer versions show: Google Assistant is not working on your device.)
Thanks

[Q] Google Map Download

I have been wondering that after using cyanogenmod for some time now I and my wifes N1s could not download or update google map from the market unless we use market enabler..
So what I do is go to freewarelovers.com and dl latest map there, any idea how this can be fixed guys? ta
Probably the downloaded Maps is not compatibile with market (some differente version or sign).
Try to complete uninstall it and re-install from market.
It could be that google ran into licensing restrictions in your country and that is why it was removed from your market. The gmail app cannot be downloaded in Germany without using Market Enabler since google doesn't own the gmail name. All gmail addresses in Germany will show as @googlemail.com.

Hidden google assistant!?

I didn't see a thread about this.. I was researching how to install google assistant without root cause my software version is ls991zve. Apparently its already in the device. It's just disabled by default. All we need to do is simply update google app and google play services. Then clear data on both and that's it.. When you now open the google app it will walk you through google assistant setup. All done!!

Google Assistant commands unavailable on Android Auto (Italian) (Xiaomi Mi 6 MIUI 10)

Hi guys,
I was simply trying to use Android Auto as a car launcher on my smartphone, without any actual intergration with the car, but there's always something lacking.
I've got problems with Google Assistant, there are various useful commands missing when I launch it from Android Auto.
I open Android Auto, I say "Ok Google", Google Assistant correctly starts but I can't use the following commands:
Take a note > That used to create a note in Google Keep
Open $application > That used to launch the mentioned app
and probably more I haven't tried yet.
I'm using the Italian language.
I've got a Xiaomi Mi 6 with MIUI 10 and Android Oreo 8.0.
Is this something wanted by design? To avoid distractions while driving?
Or is it a bug in my Android Auto?
Thanks!
Up guys!
Anyone? Isn't this the right section to post this?
Hi,
When android auto is on, several functionalities of android are blocked.
Google's idea is that only those applications which are homologated for android auto works. They said this is for safe driving, i don't agree.
This is limited to some music apps and Google maps/waze.
Nothing else will work.

Thank you for the confirmation.
Android Auto and Google Assistant require compatible version of the Play Service, are you using all updated?

So you mean:
GPS 12.8.76 (auto updated locked via Titanium to avoid unlocking of AA Mirror every day)
Google 8.14.15.21 (auto updated locked)
Android Auto 3.7.584044 (auto updated locked)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I always keep everything updated to the latest release so what I've got is:
GPS: I don't know what that is...
Google: 8.33.6.21
Android Auto: 3.7.584044
Do you see anything wrong in my setup?
Apart from this, I've discovered that on Google Play Store it doesn't look like Google Auto should be so limited: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.projection.gearhead&hl=en
Just say “Ok Google” to...
• Route to your next destination using Google Maps or Waze with real-time GPS navigation and traffic alerts.
• Get updates on your route, ETA, and hazards in real-time.
• Have the Google Assistant check your calendar for you so you know where you need to be.
• Set reminders, get updates on the news, and check last night’s score.
• Avoid distractions while driving by setting a custom do not disturb message while driving.
• Make calls using Google Assistant and answer incoming calls with just a tap.
• Access your contacts folder and send and receive messages with the Google Assistant using SMS, Hangouts, WhatsApp, Skype, Telegram, WeChat, Kik, Google Allo, and many more messaging apps.
• Manage your infotainment system like never before. Listen to your favorite media apps including Spotify, Pandora, iHeartRadio, Google Play Music, Amazon Music, SiriusXM, TIDAL - High Fidelity Music Streaming, Napster Music, and Deezer. Many more music, radio, news, sports news, audiobook, and podcast apps are also supported.

Is there a guide or an article from Google that explains what we can do and we can't do with Google Assistant under Android Auto?
Try remremoving Google assistant seems I have the Sam issue when i installed Google assistant??

Do you mean switching back to Google Now, instead of Google Assistant?
I don't think we can do it, we should uninstall the "Google" app and install an older one from an APK, it doesn't make much sense.
Is there anyone willing to try those two voice commands and see if they work?
Anyway, I didn't find much information about this problem.
By now, I gave up using Google Keep while driving and started using reminders, than I later copy to Keep when I reach home.
I say something like "Hey Google remind me to buy this album in 30 minutes", like explained here: https://support.google.com/googlehome/answer/7387866?co=GENIE.Platform=Android&hl=en
I really hope Google is going to remove these limitations in the near future.

[GUIDE] OK Google - Google Assistant on Huawei P40 Pro

Hi!
During last days I tried to figure out how to run OK Google on my P40 Pro. I have to mention that my phone runs under EMUI10 (10.1.0.121 C432) + push notification fix (by Ilham and I ).
This is the result: it runs in background but the screen must be on. Also it works after restart.
1. Uninstall Google app (if it is already installed).
2. Set Play store to not auto-update the apps.
3. Unzip & Install (only) this version of Google app. It is untouched and original. Do not start after the install.
The newer version will not run in background.
4. In Settings\Apps\Apps find Google app and set:
a. Permissions = all allowed
b. Write system settings = Yes
5. In Settings\Apps\App launch find google app and set Manage manually ( Auto-launch+Secondary launch+Run in background = Active)
6. In Settings\Apps\Apps\ 3 dots\Special access\Battery optimization find Google app and set Not Allowed
7. In Settings\ search for assistant . Access Assistance & voice input\Assist app\Default assist app: select Google.
8. Restart the phone
9. In Settings\Google\ set you Assistant voice etc.
Do not update the Google app.
LE:. Android Auto will need the last version of Google app. Using the old one, AA will not work.
Great!! It works like a charm in my P40 ANA-LX4
Thanks!!
This instruction works! Thanks!
io emui 12 with google servos, this guide works

Question Google Authenticator not updating?

Does anyone have experience with apps not showing updates in the Play store app for their Pixel 5a 5g?
I saw a recent blog posting about how the Google Authenticator app finally supports a cloud sync option to backup TOTP codes between devices. It talks about updating the app and getting the feature. But when I go to the Play store, it acts like the Authenticator app is already up to date at version 5.20R4 and says "Last updated Jul 11, 2022"...
Now it's Google Authenticator 2. You need to install

Hmm, when I go there in a browser and try to install, it says my device already has this app installed.
Trying to search for it in the Play app also ends up on the same page showing the existing Authenticator app.
Uninstall and only then install GA2.
I tried and it really doesn't offer it. It seems like the play store considers this just one app and for whatever reason keeps offering 5.20R4 as the latest version. I tried it on my wife's Pixel 6a and have the same result! Meanwhile, I installed on a really old Moto G4Play and it got version 6 with the new account sync option.
Also, uninstalling means you lose all the existing TOTP accounts from the older app, so anyone trying this should make sure to use the QR code export/import flow to save them somewhere else first!
Google and most Android Play Store apps does staged rollouts, where it releases the latest version to a couple of people/devices at a time. It takes an while for every device to get the latest version.
If you don't want to wait, you have to download the apk from a trusted source and install it manually
Thanks, it didn't occur to me from reading their blog post that it wasn't already rolled out.
I guess I've never really looked for a particular app update before, so didn't realize it worked that way. I assumed that going to check manually should find the same latest versions for everyone.
