Hi,
has anybody idea why is the top rated relatively new Huawei Mate 8 phone (runs Android Marshmallow) incompatible with the Android Auto app?
Google says on the troubleshooting pages:
My phone is incompatible
Some phones with Android Lollipop (5.0) and higher may be incompatible with Android Auto. If you see an "Incompatible phone" notification when opening the Android Auto app, your phone may not have enough memory or a video encoder that supports Android Auto.
The Mate 8 is a powerful phone: it is quite unlikely that there is an issue with the memory. Is there a workaround ? An apk file direct installation without Google Play did not work.
Thank you
Mike
Works fine on my phone. What model are you using? Have you rooted or flashed different region firmware?
Hi kunalmalviya ,
thank you for trying to help.
In the meantime I have found out that Google does not support the Android Auto app for all countries and my (Slovakia) is not listed unfortunately. So I do not know if there is an issue with the cellphone or the country.
I downloaded another apk files and manage to install them but none of them worked, i.e. I could not connect the phone with the car. I tried even the debug mode - I found on Youtube a video from Germany from someone who said that Huawei works only in debug mode.
Btw. I have a not rooted phone with original region FW, NXT-LO9, build NXT-L09C432B180, Android 6.0, EMUI 4.0.
Thank you
mike
I'm in the US and I am also seeing this phone is incompatible with Android Auto? I'm on L29C432B320
Do I need to flash to a different firmware?
I need kernel messages or some errors from firmware installation. Logcat doesn't show these messages except that which appears after system has already installed. I try to figure out whats happen with display driver and why touchscreen controller doesn't update after firmware upgrading. Also this firmware doesn't have source code.

I want to install special Android version: Android 9 Pie GO because it has lower requirements 512 MB of RAM . My phone has 1GB of RAM but problem is I don't see option how to do that.
My phone: Medion E4503 doesn't seem to be supported on twrp website for making recovery point first. I don't see it under devices. I heard this phone may just be rebrand of Lenovo phone (dunno which one ) but I have no way of telling which Lenovo version may work if at all. And that is just pre- install part. Then I also don't see where to find custom ROM for this device. I only see bunch of other ROMs for other phones. I have Android 5.0 and banking application now require Android 6.0+ . I do not want to buy new phone just for that because I rarely use phone at all.
Hello, I had bought a tablet from Lenovo previousely, being Lenovo P11 which has Sm6115 qualcomm.
They did release the kernel source but for an old version of the oem firmware. As a result, it is missing drivers for newer variant of machines (They have different panels and touchscreens on newer variants) and as a result the touch screen does not work for the machine I own (Wifi variant)
Luckliy the "5G" variant of the tablet has SD765 in it but has the same touch panel (Novatek NT36523) so I tried to copy that driver to my device's kernel and I'm unable to fix this error while compiling.
This is the repo for my kernel (Yes, I did not restore git history yet because I'm lazy) : https://github.com/HexagonWin/m11_row_kernel_temp
And this is the error message : https://pastebin.com/90XAsb2X
This is 5g variant kernel : https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/tb-j607z_opensource_tb-j607z_s130035_210706_row.tar.gz
The weird thing is that the 5g variant kernel builds properly with that same touch panel driver included in defconfig. The defconfig I'm using for my kernel tree right now is "arch/arm64/configs/m11_defconfig". Could somebody please see what is causing the issue? I'm not able to understand.. Thanks. (Including -fPIC in root makefile's KBUILD_CFLAGS didn't help.)
Correction: It's bengal (Snapdragon 662), not sm6115.
Edit: Ok it seems that sm6115 is actually bengal
You've taken the driver from a kernel source for Android 11. So either backport it or merge the kernel with an Android 11 CAF tag and use the kernel on the Android 11 firmware.

My device is not upgrade to lenovo's android 11 fw. Did you upgrade your device?
I did not upgrade yet because i was uncertain if lenovo's android 10 oss kernel would even boot on the android 11 bootloader, and i was unsure if i can revert to the android 10 firmware later on.
it can be because the android 11 caf tag's changes aren't merged, i'm not sure.. maybe we can try loading the lenovo's android 10 firmware nvt kernel module using something like ghidra and compare that with the module that gets built with the nvt driver code from another device's android 11 kernel

Yes, I've already upgraded, but it's possible to downgrade. However, Lenovo didn't release any complete firmware package. Android 10 will boot after downgrading, but OTA updates won't work anymore. Also downgrading works only with a specific firmware package. I'll send the package ID later...

Hmm, interesting.
As my device's still on Android 10, maybe I should backup the partitions (manually via dd?) and try using them later..?
Honestly I'm a bit worried about doing anything that can't be reverted because unlike my other Android-based devices this one is something i've actually bought, lol.
So, the kernel you built from your modified tree (with prima wlan included) boots on the Android 11 bootloader/firmware? The subversion of the Android 10 is significantly lower than the Lenovo Android 11 kernel AFAIK, not sure if it's just the CAF patches or anything else..

No, I haven't been able to run it on Android 11, only Android 10. Also the device doesn't use prima wlan but a kernel module in /vendor/firmware, it wasn't working because of kernel module signature checks.

Then, even if we make the oss kernel working most people won't be able to benefit from it as most people already have android 11 running.
Maybe we might go with the mainline route instead, I remember hearing that people got the mainline kernel booting on sm6115, was on a oneplus device probably..
Any news?
I am looking for info on my s28 pro+ (Chinese) phone.
It alledgedly has Android 11 installed but looking deeper with version check app it shows as only Android 4.4.2
I believe it to be the 4.4.2 as various apps etc do not install and it is a nightmare.
I would like info on any way of updating it properly.
Has anyone got this model and can help further with finding manufacturer so that I can delve deeper please?
it is correct it is not android 11 if not 4.4.2
maybe it's an outdated cell phone since it's chinese
try to go to settings/about/system update
if when you press update system it comes out that it is in the last update
It was probably scammed, so if you can, return it and say it's not Android 11.
it's not android 11 it's a modified rom to say it's android 11 but it's not
even this is not the correct cell phone model to confirm everything install cpu-z in play store
Thanks for your advice so far.
Bootloader unknown (see attached).
Reply from Seller was-
"please don't use irregular apps to detect devices. This kind of apps are mainly aimed at big-brand mobile phones, with pre-preset parameters of brand mobile phones. We are OEM versions of Chinese factories, and they don't have pre-preset parameters, so they are not sure"
I have searched for a firmware for this supposed cell phone model and I can't find it.
may i ask where or from which site this mobile was purchased and can it be returned?
