I have a Samsung S6 running unofficial Lineage 15.1 along with Super OpenGApps with a customisation file to prevent several apps getting installed. Android Auto gets installed with the Super package. If I try and launch Android Auto it starts but crashes more or less immediately. I have attached a screenshot of the error message. It worked on Lineage 14.1 and it worked on a previous version of OpenGApps with Lineage 15.1 so it might just be Google need to fix the app.

I have edited the OpenGApps configuration file to prevent Android Auto getting installed and have installed the .apk manually to see if this makes any difference. I downloaded and installed all AA releases (3.9, 3.7, 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3, 3.2, 3.1, 3.0 and 2.9) and the behaviour is the same with each.
I have an Android 8.0 MTCD head unit in my car (Malaysk 8.0 ROM v3.2.1) and I sideloaded the latest AA .apk and it works fine here. I also installed it on my Samsung T310 tablet running unofficial Lineage 14.1 and it works fine here also. It seems it might be an Android 8.1 or Lineage 15.1 issue?

I installed OpenGApps yesterday and as usual thought I'd try Android Auto and bizarrely it opened... I went through the usual initial setup and now it works.
I thought it was an update to AA or Play Services. I have two phones - Samsung S6 and a S6 Edge, both running the same build of LineageOS 15.1, the S6 is my main phone and the S6 Edge has a cracked screen and I use it for testing new Lineage builds or apps before using them on my main phone. I installed the same OpenGApps to the S6 Edge and tried AA and it didn't work....
I then compared the versions of AA and Play Services. AA was the same, however my S6 showed Play Services version 15.0.90 and that this was an update from the Play Store. The S6 Edge showed version 14.8.49 and this was installed in the system as part of the OpenGApps install. There seems to be no way for you to update Play Services other than it doing it itself. So I copied the base.apk file from /data/com.google.android.gms (and then some random characters) off the S6 (via TWRP) and then installed it on the S6 Edge. Now Android Auto works on both.
Therefore the update to Play Services 15.0.90 from 14.8.49 seems to have fixed it - at least for me anyway.. I am not sure when the Play Services in OpenGApps will get updated to 15 though?
Broken again...
Installed the latest OpenGApps (1st March 2019) and Android Auto is broken again....
Google Play Services 15.1.78 gets installed and breaks it. Same error as before. Looks like I'll reinstall the previous OpenGApps I downloaded as this worked.
Do Google test things before they release them? Its like Cisco...

I just installed LineageOS 15.1 on my Z00T, hit the exact same error you uploaded, and decided to search XDA for info. Thanks for shedding light on this!
Hopefully AA gets fixed soon...
Would just flashing the older Google Play Services APK fix this issue???
Same problem with Nexus 6P with the latest LineageOS 15.1 and the latest OpenGapps (tried Aroma, Pico and Stock).
I had to switch back to the stock 8.1 to get AA working.
Just remembered posting in this thread... Looks like AA is fixed now!
AA from 3/19/2019, 4.1.590944-release
Google Play services 16.0.89
I've attempted to root this tablet with kingo app, and also pc version. But it stops at 90%. can anyone tell me best way to root an old tablet like this and also the highest version I can use and if it can be done by a novice with no experience?
TIA
Hi, just stay at official Android 6, or upgrade to LineAge OS 14.1 (Android 7)
Has anyone here ever tried GSI Lineage OS 20? Here's the forum for Treble-based devices https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/gsi-13-lineageos-20-trebledroid-based.4517345/ . I know that Galaxy A71 has Project Treble support (VNDK 30.0 bundled alongside with it). I believe this is useful for our device because Samsung will never upgrade this phone with OS later than Android 13.
Hi all, I've managed to install twrp recovery on my sm-x200 and tried a few android 12 gsi currently have aosp vanilla with most things working except picture in picture (is this a known issue?). I tried lineage 19.1 but found to many issues trying to play sports streaming app.
Wondering if anyway has other suggestions on good android 12 gsi?
I have a Moto Edge 2063-2 with Android 11 on it and isn't showing any newer updates available. I want to be able to feed media audio to multiple bluetooth audio devices and know it's possible with Bluetooth 5+. I've seen that Android 12 has this capability built in.
Is this true? Does it? And is there a firmware for Android 12 I could load onto my Edge somewhere to do that?
I Had A Xiaomi on android 11 and it didnt connect to multiple devices until i put a custom rom on android 12, so if you want you can put a android 12 custom rom if you know how to doit... heres lineage os aosp unofficial rom and recovery:
