I just got my Fire TV yesterday and unfortunately it was not able to be rooted out of the box due to its software version. I was able to side load google play store, framework, account manager, and the proper google play services (7.0.99). Apparently this is the last version of play services that will properly function with the fire TV, anything beyond will not work.
First off play store never connects, it always says no connection. So then I side loaded some games to try. They launch but then tell me play services needs to be updated. I have tried side loading the most up to date play services just to give it what it wants and still have no success because the install fails, saying "failed, older SDK".
I simply want to play the games that I already own from the Google play store. Is there any way to do this?
***UPDATE***
I was able to side load over the apks for the updated google play services. And then use es file explorer on the fire tv to install the updated services. It allowed an install and the game launches as normal, it just sits there for 3 seconds and then crashes back to home screen. Tried another game and it just says a network error has occurred and all I can do is retry or cancel.
Just tried another game and it seems to function as normal but at the home screen the game says invalid license. It's a paid app so I'm guessing it can't validate that I paid for it since the play store isn't working. Trying another app now, it's free. Waiting for side load. I'm guessing the play store will never work without root. Anyway to get a new fire TV that ships with older software?
Got a bunch of games to work. It appears that some will work and others just... won't. Some of them are heavily dependent on the play store or something and without my ability to get that working because I can't root, I will have to stick with what I can do. Also some of the games that I can get going have absolutely no controller support and I cant even get passed the title screen. Ill play what I can from the Amazon store I guess.
Hello, a fellow 3T owner here!
Just installed the latest OxygenOS 5.0.1 update and after that I am unable to cast my screen to my cars screen via Miracast. I am able to connect to my car via Wi-Fi but after turning "Cast" on I get the error message: "Connected, no internet". Before the update everything was working fine.
Does anybody have a similar issue? Any solutions?
Thanks!
Yea doesn't work here either when connecting to my TV. Same on Open Beta. Give it some time.
I had an issue on Nougat with Chromecast connected to phone's hotspot, but it had nothing to do with OxygenOS, but Google Play Services. When devices are connected to network, try to force stop Google Play Services (you need root, possible for example with Titanium Backup).
This thread is to discuss any and all things related to running Android Auto on the LG V30.
Report problems, discuss work-arounds, recommended apps, etc.
fyi, I am running my LGV30 on crankshaft OS using open auto on a raspberry pi. Open Auto is a Android Auto emulator, and I can report that it works as advertised... great DIY approach to adding android auto to a radio without android auto capabilities.
I have a question... anyone running AA on a V30 has gotten waze to work? For me, I get a blank screen when I try to launch waze in AA, and the whole thing locks up until I disconnect my phone. Google Maps works just fine.

I used Waze with no issues for a trip over the weekend... it was the first time the kids had seen Android Auto in action and it kinda blew their minds - lol.
I just tried to install Android auto on my LG V30+ and get the message that my phone is not supported. On play.store website that is. On the phone, I can't even see the app...I am in an "unsupported country at the moment, however my account, card, phone number etc are from a supported country (UK)
My mobile is even active with the UK number in roaming. How do I make it work please?
Try download android auto apk from apkmirror.

I've noticed an annoying issue with AA and potentially unique to the V30. If I make/answer a call in AA then hang up and try to play audio, it plays the audio through the phone speakers instead of via bluetooth to the car speakers. So far have had this happen twice after a call. Unplugged USB then plugged back in fixed it.
If you want to play with some root stuff and want to watch videos on your head unit, there is CarStream for Android Auto. Obviously, it's not good to use while driving but if you eat in your car or just waiting to pick someone up or something, it's a good time killer. It's made mostly for YouTube but stuff like Plex works too.

Wife purchased a 2019 Outback LTD and she could connect her Pixel 2 to the headunit and run AA, but I could not accomplish same with my V30.
This post of yours, and the information on the APKMIRROR site were so helpful. I am up and running now.
Do you know if these variants will be brought together into a new PlayStore version?
Thank you.
Unfortunately I have no idea what google is planning hopefully, yes.
Hello Guys i have a situation with My Android Auto and My LG V30.
I am running an Android radio and installed HUR. Before i Saw this thread i was convinced that the only way to use Android auto on My phone was thru wireless mode which Is good but sometimes i don't know why it suddenly disconnects and i have to connect again manually.
So i Saw this post and it works the "Charging Only" mode i was so happy !! But then i select "charging only" always when i connect the usb and i have no connection so i have to put it again in MTP and now everytime i Want to connect to Android auto i have to go to developer options before i connect the usb and select charging only then go back and connect the usb to the radio and thats the way it works.
Anyone has a similar problem? The radio Is not the problem and neither the usb cable because My wife Huawei P30 Lite works perfect with Android Auto.
USB is a mess on the V30. Connection is extremely unstable with both of my cars. It is not caused by the cable or USB port. Both have been replaced.
Hi, all.
I would like to install android auto on my nexus to use standalone with a wifi hotspot in the car. However, the play store says that the app is not compatible, and the app closes saying "not compatible with this device" when sideloaded. Is there a workaround? I already edited the model and manufacturer in build.prop to no avail.
get the apk from apkmirror
Did you ever work this out?
hello,
I own vw polo 2019 with an android head unit, with a launcher installed by the dealer.
it hides a lot of apps including settings.
about a year ago I was able to somehow download play store and install some apps, but after an update the play store and the apps Ive downloaded are gone (idk if deleted or just hidden because of the launcher).
now, I heard there is a way to access the web browser via the Waze app (if anyone has a different way I’ll be glad), and install the store again.
but my problem starts here - I no longer have data connection in my car, meaning I need to connect it to hotspot, but since I can’t access the settings app, I can’t do it.
I don’t know much about android since I have an iPhone, so is there anyone who knows how to access settings, and install play store again? and better - change the launcher so I will not have to do it all the time?
thanks!
hello?
