Raising bugs, enhancement for new features

CarStream is developed and maintained by me in my free time. In order to efficiently manage my time, it would be great if you can use github for raising bugs and feature requests. I have been using this blog’s comments section till now for this, but it doesnt scale well. So if you put anything here, it will mostly get ignored. So please use github. I know its painful to create a github account, but it helps me. Before raising a github issue, check if the same issue exists, otherwise it will most likely be closed.

Debugging black screen issue

Black screen when switching on Youtube auto is usually related to Power saver mode on your phone. Some phones have it as “aggressive doze mode” or “advanced battery optimization”. For youtube auto to work seamlessly, you have to switch off power saver mode completely or disable it just for Youtube auto.

Also sometimes you can follow this trick of switching on youtube auto phone app on phone and then connecting to the car. Please try this on Xperia and Huawei phones. Also some huawei phones are not compatible with android auto in general. Even Waze doesnt work. Source

Disabling the bottom bar in fullscreen mode

Many users have requested this feature of hiding the nav bar when in fullscreen mode. Unfortunately google doesnt support this feature and we can expect google to give an API in future version of android auto. So this is not feasible.

Note

Disclaimer :This is my personal project and I maintain it in my free time. The work here is in no way related to my Employer. It is a hobby project where I have not committed to anyone about maintaining it. With Google blocking every move, its getting more difficult to progress. You can imagine how it would be to fight as a one man army against google.

Unblocking instructions

[21st Jan 2018] Google has blocked the app multiple times till now and its becoming difficult for me to release just a new version to unblock it. Here are some tricks to do it yourself when google blocks the app.

Google blocks the app’s package name. This is how apps identify themselves and google is able to block the app easily by just identifying my app’s package name and then blocking it. As a workaround, if you are an android developer, just clone the source code and change the package name in build.gradle as well on the google-services.json file.

If you are not a developer, I recommend you use APK Editor Pro app (Its a paid app, but the apks are available everywhere). It allows you to change package names of any app without creating the APK yourself.

• Download APK editor PRO (free version doesnt allow many features)
• Open the settings and click “sign APK with” and select “key created by APK Editor”
• Exit settings and come back to main menu
• click “Select APK from app”
• select the car stream apk
• select “Full Edit”
• click on the third tab on bottom called “manifest”
• click on the second line from top called “manifest xmlns:android….
• click on “package” and change the package name to anything you want. This is the most important step. You should use something which is unique to you. Use maybe your name or username in it. Do not use special character except “dot”. If your name is john doe, use maybe “com.johndoe.testapp” as the package name. Be creative here, because this is what google uses to block the app
• Click save button, be careful not to press cancel.
• Now click the build button on the top-right corner of the screen
• This will take a few seconds and finish the creating a new APK
• [IMPORTANT] Once it finishes, uninstall the old version of car stream. If you dont uninstall, the new APK wont install
• Now go back to APK pro and press install the new apk you created which has your custom package name
• After installation, Car Stream should work for you

If you cant see CarStream because of Google blocking third party Android Auto Apps, this version will unlock Carstream on Rooted phones. Thanks to slashmax for figuring out the trick. Download the app-release.apk and install it.

1. Start Android Auto on your phone (the phone is not attached to anything at this time)
2. click on the menu on the top left (three bars)
3. Click «About»
   The following steps may already be done. I am including them for reference for newbies.
4. If developer mode is not enabled, click on the bar «About Android Auto» 10 times.
5. click on the three dot menu (on the top right)
6. click on «Developer settings»
7. click on Application Mode and set to «Developer». Also go to the bottom of the developers settings and make sure «Unknown Sources» is checked.
8. click back, and then go to the three dot menu. Click «Start head unit server».
9. connect the phone to the computer, enable «USB debugging» in your phone’s developer settings. This is different from Android auto developer settings.
10. open a command shell
11. type «adb forward tcp:5277 tcp:5277»
12. navigate to /extras/google/auto. This is usually found at «c:\users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\extras\google\auto»
13. start the desktop head unit with the command «desktop-head-unit»
14. accept all the permissions, etc.

At this time you should see the typical head unit display that you would see in your car.

1. click on the lower right speedometer symbol (to return to Sync, or other OS).

you should see ‘Carstream’ listed. If it is not, click on «All car apps».

1. Click on Carstream. Your phone should prompt you to grant root access. Accept root access.
2. Stop the Desktop head unit (click the x on the top right).
3. go to your car. Turn on your car and connect your phone to start Android Auto. Accept all the permissions requests, etc.
4. Turn off your car. Disconnect your phone from Android Auto.
5. Now, go to your apps, and start Carstream
6. Click on «Unlock[Root]» and grant Root access when prompted (screenshot below)
7. reboot the phone
8. Once the phone reboots, connect the phone to your car, and start Android Auto. Go to the speedometer thing (on the lower right side of the screen) and see if Carstream is listed. If it is, give thanks below. If it isn’t, I don’t know what to tell you.
