Alternative to Android Auto for real mirroring ? - Connected Car

Hi,
I tried Android Auto for few months now and it gets me really frustrated. Not a big fan of UI and assistant won't do everything I need. Is there a way to use car screen for mirroring phone screen on it ?
Thanks.

you can try tima avn

1) wear - stay awake - works but doesn't vibe when time is run out
2) hand dialer for Wear - doesn't work at all
3) wear camera remote - causes android wear to crash every time it starts

Yes,

Android Pie false gamepad detection in games

I have an issue with a game called Gear.Club on Android Pie and Pixel 2 XL. The game works fine on Android Oreo 8.1.
The issue is that with Android Pie, the game loads and detects a gamepad connected to my device and switches the control mode to game pad and disables tilt controls, but I don't have a gamepad connected. I've tried a factory reset, starting the game with bluetooth disabled, nothing seems to work. The only solution I've found is to revert my system back to Android 8.1.
Does anyone else have this issue?
The game was installed via the Google Play Store: "Gear.Club - True Racing", and the device is stock not rooted.
Same issue
I have the same problem. Can't seem to get it fixed. Have tried everything that you've done. No solution.

[SOLVED] - Problem with built-in casting function MIUI11

Dear All,
I would really appreciate if anyone could help me here.
I have issues with casting my phone screen to a display, let alone choose the advertised options like cast with screen off.
RN8PRO MIUI 11.0.2.0 (PGGEUXM)
When I am on that cast screen and tickle the cast button to the right, it just does nothing at all.
I have seen online people doing the same thing and then it opens a pop-up at bottom of the screen and start searching for display. For me it does not, it just stays there doing nothing.
If I leave that screen and come back it is again disabled.
So my simple question has anyone managed to cast anything using that built-in function?
I can cast using apps with cast-enabled function no issue, and yes I have Miracast enabled device, yet the built-in cast function seems completely broken -or- I have disabled a service it needs to work, idk.
With the app Wireless Display for MIUI I can workaround this and cast my display at the very least, however, I dont have access to any of the cast options advertised on the cast page.
The fact it does not open the small pop-up at bottom of the screen searching for devices makes me think I have some kind of problem, either permissions too restricted on something or some needed services disabled.
Please help if you can.
Regards.

Those two services are needed for casting to work:
Mi Connect Service (com.xiaomi.mi_connect_service)
UniPlay Service (com.milink.service)
So if you debloated your phone you need those two back on and running. If they are, search for remote display happens and remote displays are found as expected.

I have the same problem in note 5 pro and Poco. I read somewhere that mi uses Miracast and it doesn't support Chromecast. Sorry if I am mistaken.

Yes that's also the information I have.
However my problem described above also concerns casting to a Miracast device. The built-in method from settings just does not do anything for me, it does not search for anything at all actually. Therefore cannot find anything either
I am surprised not more people are using casting/mirroring features of their phones, RN8Pro being such a powerfull devices it makes a very nice handcomputer.
I wonder if that built-in function works for anyone.
Regards.
The Cast option does not work for me either.
I use the Wireless display option to cast to Chromecast.
Is there a difference between these two options?
I think I found the solution or at least the source of my own problem (took me enough time...).
As I was expecting I had debloated my phone a bit too much and removed some services needed for features I am using which at that time did not look like that needed for me.
Those two services are:
Mi Connect Service (com.xiaomi.mi_connect_service)
UniPlay Service (com.milink.service)
So if you debloated your phone you need those two back on and running. If they are, search for remote display happens and remote displays are found as expected.
Once you have reenabled those two services, the cast button is again available from the quick access and working.

I know that our phone is using the MiraCast technology which google has been removed from Chromecast (it was there before) and Android starting A9. Xiaomi keeps it in MIUI that's why we still have it.
However what I am uncertain of, is how MIUI is supporting Chromecast too? From what I read you can still mirror to a Chromecast if you are willing to use the Home app.
Myself now that I got some Amazon Fire TV stick, I prefer those a lot more for the same price compared to Chromecast, simply because you can mirror your screen without having to be connected to internet, one among many things that annoyed me on Chromecast. And they used Miracast technology.
Hope this helps.

Yeah I figured this finding would be probably useful to someone. Took me about 3 months to come up with the solution out of random tbh. Strangely none seemed to experience that issue judging by the number of answers I received in that time. And I am expecting people on XDA to debloat their phones out of the box like I did, maybe they were just more cautious than me and went a bit less aggressive on the matter. idk.
Anyway I am glad my findings could help you out too!
Regards.

It has been a while since I last attempted to solve this issue.
Last I was working on this, my researches has lead me to think the resolution of the phone which is quite big, might have been too big for casting receiver devices to process smoothly. Casting receivers do not have as big of a display resolution which often is 720p max or maybe lower for some.
As a result my investigations suggested me to try lower the phone display resolution before casting.
Unfortunately I am lacking time to test my theory and see if lowering phone resolution actually improves the playback on the casting device.
Please let us know of your findings if you decide to test those hypothesis yourself.
Good Luck!

I am sorry I have not had time to do some testings myself.
All I know and noticed was while casting from apps with built-in casting feature, it worked like a charm, however as soon as I started to mirror my screen, then it was lagging too.
Back then I assumed it was because of phone resolution vs casting devices because it was way bigger than casting receiver (usually at best 720p max and even 480p for older devices), but if you are saying it does not change anything well I am running out of ideas at the moment.
You changed both the resolution and the density of the screen using the following two commands?
Code:
begonia:/ $ wm size
Physical size: 1080x2340
begonia:/ $ wm density
Physical density: 440
Those are original RN8P resolution and density, they might be both too big for casting devices to handle, idk, might require testing.
Please let us know if your findings.

Can you try debloat this UniPlay Service (com.milink.service) and try whether you are able to cast remote display?
I have the same problem. Both services are active though. MIUI 13 on redmi note 10 pro

Android Auto still working in Nexus 5x?

Suddenly android auto stopped working in car system. I connected and I don't see it in car.
Opel corsa intellilink. I had it only for this, always in car. I see android auto in phone screen but not in car screen.. Is there something changed in Google services probably, or something hardware problem in my phone? Does anyone install note 5x android auto in car screen and still working, and if yes, what rom are you using to try?
I installed many custom rooted roms after this, none worked in car screen..
In all my other newer phones android auto works fine in car.
Thanks.
