Hi, as the title says, had a question about using GSI's now that treble is available for our phone. I understand that in order to use treble, we must first flash the newest build of Lineage, and then install a GSI. My question is, if Lineage is installed, does it somehow serve as a base that the GSI installs over, or is installing it only pertinent for updating the partition layout? I guess more specifically, if I install the new Lineage, and then flash a GSI over it, will I experience the same bugs in Lineage in any potential GSI installed?
In my case, it's with android auto, since it doesn't seem to work/project over USB with any car I've tested on any of the currently available ROMs. The app works in Lineage, and the phone can connect via Bluetooth to a car, but it doesn't recognize that it's physically connected to a car at all via USB, so it fails to project to the vehicle's display, meaning I need to constantly look down to where it's plugged in at to interact with it instead of through the vehicles built in touch screen, keeps me going back to stock honestly because it's a feature I need access to.
If I install a GSI where auto is properly working, should it work for me as well or no because Lineage doesn't support it currently and that was flashed before the GSI was?
Thanks

I think that is kernel side as our HDCP goes to the greybus instead of USB-C for the projector mod. I know through wireless it works. Tried it on my friend's 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe.
GSI's will have the same bugs via vendor and boot. Also, unless the GSI supports moto mods, those won't work either.

Oh, I didn't think motomods had anything to do with android auto. It doesn't use the pins on the back or anything, just usb, but I can't project via USB, it just brings up the USB select menu (charge, mtp, ptp) and neither of my cars support wireless android auto. I didn't think there were any cars out yet that actually support wireless android auto.
Oh well, guess stock it is for now, thanks for the info.
Edit:
@Uzephi hey, sorry to be a bother, you said you were able to use wireless android auto on a friend's vehicle. I'm assuming that means it's enabled on custom ROMs since it doesn't appear to be on stock. Do you happen to think a mod like this would work?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ge...droid-3-0-proxy-gateway-android-auto-t3813163
Just curious, because if I could use wireless projection for it that would work just as well to me.

Android Auto uses video over USB. Our ancillary video output is rerouted to the greybus for the projector. Only way to get SElinux to work correctly on aosp was to keep that routing and nix USB video.
I honestly don't know. I did it for kicks to see if his Android Auto app on his Santa Fe would Sync with my phone and it did. It wasn't any projection, it was just the two apps talking to each other. Is that how yours is or is your phone running android auto and the radio is taking the phone's screen as a projection? Because I could be wrong. That is the only thing I could think of why yours wouldn't work.

Ahh gotcha, that makes more sense now.
I can pair the device to the vehicle over bluetooth and use the android auto app that way to play music and stuff, but yeah, normally it takes the phone's screen as projection, so I can use the car's 7in display for android auto without having to play around with my phone. Understanding that video over USB is disabled makes sense as to why auto isn't working. I'm guessing this means it won't work on custom ROMs without a custom kernel, and that would have to disable SELinux and reroute video to USB, correct?
Thanks for all the info, always good to learn something.

Yes that is correct. The Z2 development crew tried but the workaround would have been messy and not true SElinux enforcing which makes me wonder about stock rom tbh.

Ok so recently I picked up this head unit for my car. It is amazing, works great and sounds epic. One problem though, it will not work correctly when connected to my GSM Galaxy Nexus via USB. It works great if connected Bluetooth, but you lose a lot of sound quality that way. USB always sounds way better, however when I plug in my phone nothing happens at all except that my phone starts charging. I wonder if is the ROM I am using and if possibly a different ROM would solve the issue. I am using AndroidME. I am also wondering if the problem is that GNEX uses MTP. However several people have said that they use this head unit with a Galaxy Nexus so I don't know what to think. I am currently using a 16gb flash drive full of music and it's actually working fine. So I know the front USB port does work. Is there anyone who can tell me anything about this issue? And if it's an MTP thing is there a way to force a mass storage connection?

Do you use a custom kernel with fast-charge, or does your ROM have it built in with it's stock kernel?

Fast Charge is not on. I found out that the head unit simply does not accept MTP connections, thus anyone using ICS or JB cannot connect to it. Nothing to be done, I'm afraid :/
I am pitching an idea that I have no idea how to implement. I am NOT a developer nor would I be able to acquire the skills necessary quickly. the reason for this post is to ask the community if it would be possible to create a ROM for the Galaxy Nexus or some other old easily unlockable phone that would mimic the functionality of an Android wear watch for use as a head unit in a vehicle similar to Android auto. Of course the ROM would not be the only custom aspect of this project one would also need to create or modify the wear UI in order to facilitate the functions of Android auto. the reason I believe Android wear API would be a good starting place for this project is because internet connection is shared between client and server devices. this would facilitate sharing of information between the devices without needing an Internet connection on the vehicle side. this would also allow the phone to automatically connect wirelessly to the head unit. the current Android auto hacks all require USB OTG. let me know your thoughts and try not to flame me too badly.
Which "Android auto hacks" ?
You mean my Headunit app ?
Android Auto has code to do AA over WiFi direct.
I will try to find a way to enable it, and make it work with my app.
USB is a PITA for anything besides charging.
WiFi Direct P2P will have it's own problems of course, but I'm really getting a hate-on for USB and the Host mode issues.

Is AA here short for Android Auto?
Will WiFi direct allow for automatic connections without removing device from holster/ pocket?
The other issue with using a real Android Auto app is the lollipop requirement. My Daily driver is a droid turbo and there's no telling when my phone will get its update. ( and the bootloader has a damn chastity strap)
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,
Today out of curiosity I tried to use the Cast feature on my Nokia together with the Connect app in Windows 10. The phone manages to find the PC and tries to connect, then the PC sees the request and tries to accept it, however, it ends with an error saying "Something went wrong with the projection." The Connect app on the PC is version 10.0.17134.1 as seen in the picture. My phone is running Android Pie on the October patch. I was wondering if anyone has managed to successfully cast their screen to Win 10 PC and if so which versions of Android and the Connect app do you guys have?

Same here, I've also tried with a Samsung TV (KU6000). The phone finds the TV and tries to connect, then TV says connecting to phone for a few seconds and that's it. Nothing happens.

Yes, I'm running Android Pie. Never tried on Oreo. But, it's not Nokia/HMD global issue though, Google dropped it since Android 6. It's a problem with Nokias, Pixels and other Android one devices. You can check here. You can also Google for Miracast on Android one devices.

Okay, I didn't expect that. However, if Miracast is dropped, what exactly does the Cast option support then? It does not make sense for the option to be there if it simply does not work.

The cast option is for use with Google's Chromecast, Android TV, or Google Home. It uses a proprietary protocol, so it is only possible to cast to Google products.

Don't know. What's more interesting is that Nokia devices are Miracast certified (see this). But, there's no mention of variants, only like base models are mentioned.

I'm having some trouble with Android Auto. My new OnePlus 11 will only connect "Charging Only" and will not connect for File Transfer / Android auto.
If I connect via USB and enable "USB Tether" it worked for a second, enough to pop Android Auto, and then disables...
It did work for a phone-to-phone transfer using OnePlus's transfer app!
What else have I tried:
1) Hard reset to factory
2) developer mode - I just tried editing the default connection mode (after enabling developer mode) and still nothing.
3) USB monitor - Indeed I have also tried a USB monitor, and nada. It connects to power and then disconnects immediately.
Verification! Both my car and the monitor connected perfectly with no additional config to my OnePlus 9, and my Oneplus 7 Pro today.
Any suggestions?
Exact same problem here...after trying to connect nothing happens (in Skoda Kamiq). Phone says it's connected to android auto. Strange things is it works without problems in my other car (Toyota Aygo). Seems like a compatibility issue in with car hardware or software. Probably a system update is needed to fix this sinds it's a new phone.

I spoke to support and they wanted to replace my device, by just returning it!
I would have to be without a device (I traded in my old one). I would likely move to Samsung rather than be without a phone. Then return it.

I phones them. We went through everything. It's 100% the phone as the same issue manifest with multiple devices. Car & Monitor.
I'm sure this is software related because it works in my other car. I wouldn't return my device to find out the new phone has the de problem. Also read alot about Samsung users (s23) with connection issues for Android Auto.
I'm somehow relieved it's a software problem so they CAN fix it, the question is, when..
