Hi! Could you recommend an android app that is really AA compatible?
When I searched for it, I got only 2 results.
1st.: iHeartRadio
Since with this app I can't listen to the radio channels I'm looking for, I haven't even tried it with AA. Only on my mobile phone.
2nd.: TuneIn
It looked perfect at first glance, but only on my mobile phone. It does not appear at all in the AA menu, nor is it among the hidden apps.
(So this search result was invalid...)
Replaio radio is a really good one, and also supports AA...
Hi,
Simple radio or calm radio are working fine in AA
myTuner works well with aa and has many usual car radio channels from my region atleast, more than tunein.
I'm using following ones with AA:
Radiogram they are reactive when asked for adding missing radios
Open Radio
Transistor Basic but FOSS (F-Droid & Play Store)
TuneIn IS AA compatible (I use it already for a long time), charm of TuneIn is (at least with Dutch stations), that it cuts the very annoying pre-roll ads with ALL my (Dutch) stations.
As far as I have seen is TuneIn the only internet radio app doing this -and pre-rolls are irritating as hell, when browsing through my radio stations.
Just my 2c

I love my hero it does everything I want and I can get almost all the apps I want.
The only thing I cant find is a decent radio player for the uk where I can listen to UK channels like bbc , key 103 , smooth fm ... I know there is no fm built in and it will have to be a software based one ...
any idea's ??
I use beebplayer for streaming Radio1
In my opinion you may try also Cherry Rpayer made it by "aor.leadapps" is it for listening online an you may finde a lot of radio station allover the world. Cheers!
RadioTime is best but sad its a paid app
I use Driod Live Lite its free and works great
Beeb player for bbc radio stations. Search for the capital FM app on market, it lets you listen to capital, heart and some other highly popular UK radio stations.
I'm looking for an app to stream music. But I can't seem to find anything that works. Like I want to be able to stream for say something like, Edge 102.1 (Toronto). Or something similar and free to XM Radio.
I use Pandora and I love it. It's sort of... genre-based internet radio. I do have force closes once in a while when switching channels a lot but the app is worth it to me.
Edit: Does not pull in AM/FM if that is strictly what you're looking for. You search for a band you like and it will play similar music to the band you chose. Each search creates a "channel" you can switch between.
Hmm. Pandora sounds great and I've heard a lot about it. But, I can't seem to download it in Canada Any suggestions on how to get it or other apps?
you can try iheartradio but i had problems with it not streaming very good
Such a bummer that the markets are not the same across countries. Since it's a free app I think I could post it to the forums without it being warez, right?

I hope so lol
here it is
for future reference, check out market enabler to unlock the market. i've never used it though so i'm not sure if it works.
edit: these are both free apps but if a mod feels like i shouldnt post these, please delete this post
I use an app called AOnlineRadio, it's free in the marketplace. Only plays shoutcast-style streams, but has directory and search functions. Doesn't seem to support Ogg, afaik.
--W5i2
Doesnt last.fm do the same thing? maybe that will work
Awww. Pandora won't work in my country it says (Canada).
I'm trying to use Last.fm in my browser, so I'm on the mobile site, but I can't seem to play any music. I don't see any option to play song or anything.
search the market for last.fm, but I bet it won't work in the great white north either. You could try Slacker, and there is another that I know works in europe but requires a subscription and I can't for the life of me remember it's name, sorry - 5 AM here.
Pandora and Slacker are US-only due to licensing restrictions by the recording industry. I'm not sure about last.fm since audioscrobbler was pretty popular years ago even in Europe.
You could try some of the shoutcast streaming apps or maybe do a market search for "<country> radio". There may even be something available for Canadians that we don't have in the US market.
I just found one and it's great: "A Online Radio"
It's streaming though, so you'll probably want 3G I'd imagine. (USA here)
I just really want a good streamer to use in Canada since I have 6GB and I'm not using it all up. Bluetooth streaming to my car stereo would be a nice replacement to my actual radio.
i use stream furious
works pretty fine for me (in austria)
there where even the radiostations installed that i downloaded it for. and you can add them yourself too
So I got the Pioneer 8100NEX setup last night. After flashing OxygenOS on my phone (BlissPop wouldn't work due to the DPI issue) I am up and running with Android Auto. However, when going through the music app option all I have is Google Music. The other main app I use for tunes and general listening is TuneIn which, while installed and apparently should work, is not showing up. I searched the settings for TuneIn and didn't notice anything obvious. Is this a Pioneer setting I am going to wait for or am I missing something obvious? Thanks!
I realize this is a dusty post, but did you ever get TuneIn to appear in AA? I'm having the same issue on my Nexus 6P.
Allow me to spray some Pledge/Endust on this topic as well. I have a Moto X Pure Edition running TruPureXMM 2.6 and I just purchased a 2016 Honda Civic EX with Android Auto built-in. Everything about it works great: Maps, Hangouts, Play Music with voice search, the whole thing. EXCEPT: similar to the posters above, when touching the Audio button to see other apps, the only app listed is Google Play Music. I should also note that I have multiple Auto-compatible audio apps in addition to TuneIn Radio Pro; I also have BeyondPod, Pandora, and iHeartRadio. None of them appear. Google support is non-existent at this point, which is a little unsettling as more and more carmakers are offering stock options with Android Auto.
I'm not any kind of expert, but I'm wondering if this is a side effect of having a rooted and/or custom ROM installed. Mine is stock based for my phone but it is rooted and I see that the OP had a custom ROM as well. I don't know what you are running @monorailmedic. Any information or assistance from someone who has experienced this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Do you have any adblock app running on your phone?

Disabling AdAway had no effect. However, I believe I have resolved the issue.
I mentioned that I have TuneIn Radio Pro, but I did not mention that I got it through the Amazon App Store rather than Google Play. (It was a free app of the day many moons ago.) I installed the regular version of TuneIn from the Play Store and...voila, it appeared in Auto. Same thing with the other apps - I had installed them outside of Google Play, and apparently Auto doesn't like that. Reinstalling through the Play Store got me up and running.
I don't know if that scenario is also your issue @monorailmedic, but mine has been resolved this way.

I too got the Pro version from Amazon years ago when it was a freebie. I'll try downloading the version from the Play Store in the morning. I wrote to TuneIn today, so if this is the issue, it'd be swell if they provided me the key to the newer pro version via the Play Store.

In fact, I mentioned a possible block because IMHO the apps for Android Auto can't work if they aren't able to contact the Google Play store for license activation.

Interesting... Besides license validation of protected apps (which the dev controls) this is the first instance I recall hearing where sideloaded apps won't work.
Developers of AA compatible apps can't just sideload either, even just for testing. App has to go through Google Play as a special AA beta test.
Google requires that all AA compatible apps (and their updates) be tested by them and approved for not being distracting. This is part of their protection for that. Sideloaded or Amazon etc. apps can't be guaranteed to have gone through this testing. (Actually an MD5 of the APK or similar could be done, but that could be abused on rooted devices and Google prefers everything goes through Play anyway.)
So, how are you all using TuneIn? I've been immensely disappointed that there's no favorites/presets list available via AA. Nor is there even the recent stations list available. So, how in the world do you access the stations you want? The lists that are available seem really truncated and have only strange channels I've never heard of. I was able to use voice commands once but now that isn't working and one of my stations wasn't accessible that way either. So, the whole app seems to be essentially useless to me via the AA interface. Bluetooth streaming still works, but defeats the purpose and of course then there's no access to any of the other aspects of AA.

I too have the pro version from Amazon, which i got for free. In order to get it to work with Android Auto you have to install it using google play as the vendor. Same goes with other apps that you sideload
1. Install Tunein Pro from Amazon Store.
2. Save the apk installer file using es Explorer. hxxp://android.stackexchange.com/questions/75360/is-it-possible-to-backup-apk-from-an-installed-application
3. Uninstall Tunein Pro
4. Reinstall using ADB hxxps://pixplicity.com/setting-install-vendor-debug-app/
I tested it and it works
You can also "unblock" non-play store apps in AA. Open AA on your phone, then go to "information" then tap many times on the upper bar... it will reveal "developer options". Now tap on 3-dot menu and set developer mode. You should see more apps through car headunit.
I found this online and can confirm it works with the Verizon variant of the V30. It's version 5.30.11. You must allow installations from non-trusted sources under settings/security to install this app. Enjoy!!
You can download it from android file host HERE.
Does not work with Korean version of the V30.. Says that I must enable FM Radio first, but there's no such option anywhere
Worked for me thx
Theres already a FM radio app stock on the T-Mobile H932 model.
I was able to install the Next Radio app on my Verizon V30, but I haven't tried it out yet.
So does this app just stream radio or is this an actual fm tuner?

This is the stock LG FM Radio app that utilizes the built in FM tuner on these phones. I can pick up all the radio stations around me that i can in my car. It also supports RDS, radio data system, where the app will display the artist and song info. Pretty cool.
Next Radio runs just fine on my V30. Granted, I only tried it with one station, but it's the ONLY station I listen to.
Can confirm that this works on the Sprint V30+ variant as well. It's not showing any RDS info, however.
Too bad we couldn't get the stock sms app to work. Seems everyone is removing it now
Couldn't install "App not installed. Restricted by device administrator"
Verizon LGV30
FM radio app works on my VS996! Thanks!
No display or scrool problems here. Waiting for 200 dollar card and VR set with bundle of free games. Also did registration for extra year of warranty. This thing is a great deal guys!

Well the problem was on my end. After deactivating the LG package disabler I was able to install the FM radio. Reactivated the package disabler after that and everything works.
It came preinstalled on my v3/0+

I think RDS info is radio station dependent. It shows on some radio stations in my area but not others.
Just another silly move by big red. Why they removed the radio app even though they left the FM receiver present was pretty dumb.

I stand corrected - the app *does* display RDS info, I was just not looking in the right place.
Thanks again for this find. :good:
Another confirmation that the app works on the VZW version of the V30... Very nice! Thank you.
Next radio app
I have a Verizon V 30 and downloaded the Next radio app from the play store. It works great but you need the headphones/earbuds plugged in as it serves as your antenna. I tuned in to a station and went out and checked it with my car radio and they both were playing the same song . with this app you can choose to use the tuner or you can stream if your phone doesn't have a fM tuner. My Verizon V 30 worked great with the tuner.
Can confirm it works on Korean v30+

As the title says: I look for the best alternative for my (long used!) TuneIn pro.
My choice for TuneIn was based on:
- simplicity, ease of use
- reliable
- blocking of pre-roll ads (which works very fine with at least the listened Dutch stations!), very annoying when browsing stations.
1 and 3 are still fine, but reliability gets worse and worse with TuneIn: it stops randomly ('cannot connect to server) all the time in Android Auto, so i feel forced to look for a new app.
Any suggestion providing these 3 items for Android Auto? Thanks.
Try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hv.replaio&hl=pl&gl=US
Thanks! Up till now this is the one best fitting my requirements (simple, radio, reliable, no fuzz (no podcast, etc)): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.streema.simpleradio
Any further suggestions are welcome!
I have found "Simple Radio" to be a pretty good radio app for Android Auto.
I replaced Tune In due to the issues you experienced above plus the fact that they now Geolock a lot of stations so I can't listen to US stations in the UK.
After 2 months of use: Simple Radio is MUCH better than TuneIn in AA use; ease of use, reliability, good overview of recents/ favorites/ etc.
As for now: I stay with Simple Radio -but if anybody has any other suggestion for a simple, reliable AA radio app (something like in the good ol' days, with only stations a vue) please share it!
TuneFM radio player is quite good also
Just found it a couple of days ago; replaio radio; even beter than Simple Radio. Check it out.
Open source, free - Open Radio.
