Hello all,
I've been using Android Auto with Oxygen OS 2.1.4, and have tried using a few different ROM's but they have not worked properly which has made me stick to Oxygen OS since I bought a Pioneer 4100NEX primarily for the use of Android Auto.
That being said, has anyone used a ROM, that still allowed the use of Android auto?
The only issue that I face when using Android Auto and a custom ROM, is that the headunit doesn't get pictured to scale, correctly. I have tried adjusting the Scale or DPI (I forget what it's called) on the phone it self(headunit doesn't have adjustments), but it did not correct the issue..
Thanks in advance!
Hey, I am using Resurrection ROM successfully with android auto. But I do not have aftermarket head unit, my car directly supports it.
I have no problems with picture getting scaled, but sometimes AA freezes and I need to soft reboot the phone to reconnect. Don't know if its faulty ROM or bug in Android auto.

Thanks for the info,
After a quick search of Resurrection, it looks like they don't have DPI adjustments. Which makes me think the scale issue is on the ROM having DPI or no DPI adjustment.....
As far as AA freezing, I had issues with some roms freezing requiring a soft reboot, or reconnect. It happened at the same time the scale issue was happening, so I thought it was just the ROM.. That being said, I'll get some freezing requiring a reconnect with Oxygen OS.... But this happens once in a blue moon.

I have a OPO running CM13.1 in a Hyundai using Android Auto. I'm curious: do you see the issue with Android Auto disconnecting from USB?
I was using Sultans CAF CM 13.0 Build with my OPO. Which I loved and is an EXCELLENT ROM. But I am here researching how to get Android Auto wo work with my OnePlus 3 running Oxygen when I ran across this post.
Seemingly solved my USB Disconnect issues
Using my OPO and CM13.1 (OnePlus' distribution), I seemed to have solved my issues by only using a OPO cable. I have tried a number of other cables to no avail. And while I have one disconnect early on while using it, I suspect that was a physical issue, as I have had no disconnects in the last week (including 10 hours of use this past weekend).
It may be too long and too red, but it works!
I know this is old but ...
I'm running 7.1.2 with Lineage OS 14.1 - Sultan Bacon on the OPO.
Has anyone gotten Android Auto working on their head unit recently? So far all my attempts have ended in failure. I'm OK with flashing a different ROM or resetting my DPI if it means I can use AA in my car.
Thanks.
Hi,
Those who installed LineageOS on T5, could you please share your experience ?
I noted from few comments on this forum:
5GHz Wifi is not working but 2.4 GHz is working fine
disable HW overlays in the dev options to remove blur
disable AudioFX to correct sound
Is there any other prooblem ? What about bluetooth, camera, GPS, gapps ?
Any feedback will be appreciated
I'm the one who said it didn't work on 5GHz wifi, it is working.
I had to wait several minutes until my AP appeared, once I connected for the first time it did not give me any problem.
Also something like this happened when starting LineageOS for the first time, it did not connect neither in 2.4 nor in 5 but waiting it worked.
After disabling AudioFX I installed Eqfy Equalizer which works fine.
The camera app is not working, a white line appears in the middle of the screen and there are no photo options or anything.
Since I don't use it to take photos, I have not tried more but I suppose that with some other camera app it should work.
Not tested bluetooth or GPS for now.
On the other hand, the tablet works more fluidly and you have more free space.
In the absence of trying more things, for now I'm sticking with LineageOS.
Thanks for your feedback.
I have flashed LienageOS 16, and have patched RAMDISK.IMG to install Magisk.
It looks OK, I like it so far. There are only two issues:
* Camera is not working
* I have only 2,4Ghz WiFi (which btw is working fine), but I do not see 5,0 GHz network in my list
GPS, bluetooth, sound, image,...everything seems working OK, but I didn't check in details.
Despite those two issues I will stay with LineageOS. I prefer it one hundred times over EMUI. And for camera, which btw is not very important to me neither, I will probably find a fix one day.
From time to time your 5GHz AP may appear, you can connect but then it disappears again.
Yesterday I checked, I thought it was connected in 5GHz but no, the connection was in 2.4
I confirm that the Wifi in 5GHz does not work.

I have sorted it out.
For WiFi, I changed the channel on my router, put it at 44, and now the 5,0 Ghz Wifi is visible and I can connect.
For camera, I have found a Gcam which works OK, it is "GC_4.1.006.126161292-41003513.apk", easy to find on XDA.
So now I have LineageOS fully working. For the time being everything is fast and stable.

I thik it is related to router. On my router, in settings, the choice of channel was set to automatic, I put it to 44 and it is visible, and the connection is fast and stable. For some reason the tablet doesn't see higher frequencies.

I'm going to take a look to Gcam, I've tested a couple of cam apps but not working.
Now I'm using channel 56 but previously I tested other channels, maybe the day it worked I was using a lower one, will test too.
Thanks a lot.

Hello again, I have changed the channel to 44 and for now it works fine.
The Gcam is not working for me, It tells me that it cannot find the camera and closes.

Hello. If this can be of any help: the Gcam which I installed, I found it on this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20/themes/google-camera-huawei-p20-kirin-devices-t3882198
It is : Google Camera v4.1.006.126161292, in the first post, section OTHER AVAILABLE APKs.
Maybe we’re not using the same version.
After flashing LineageOS, I found that I had two cameras : HwCamera2.apk 8.0.0.200 which I think is Huawei camera, and Camera2.apk 2.0.002. First one was crashing immediately, the second one didn’t work with a white line in the middle. Now I have first one disabled, second one is still there but useless. And third one is the one above which is OK.
Has anyone had any luck with Netflix?
I tried LineageOS yesterday and was unable to install Netflix from the play store, likely because it said I was uncertified. I was however able to download and side load Netflix, which initially appeared to resolve the issue, however any attempt to play content resulted in a 5.10 error. From what I can tell, this appears to be something to do with DRM, however the few potential solutions I've found using Magisk didn't help resolve the situation, and I've ended up reverting to Emui
Aside from Netflix, I didn't come across any other issues while testing. Unfortunately for me, Netflix was the main reason for getting this tablet in the first place, my old 3rd Gen iPad would have been more than adequate for my needs other wise
In order to get Netflix work, I installed one older versions found on apkmirror. I picked up randomly 6.21.0. I installed also liboemcrypto_disabler (even though I do not know if it was necessary), and in addition of that it is hidden in Magisk. It is working, I do not know how to check the quality, but I guess it is 720p.
Why TWRP needed why not to flash directly from stock recovery...
If you want to install LineageOS, the TWRP is not needed. You flash LineageOS via fastbot. In fact, it is better not to mess with TWRP, officially it is not supported by OpenKirin ROM's.
I also thought so but it's ok I have LineageOS installed with OpenCamera everythink seems to be working fine even LTE is there 16.1 version available ?
and also where can I get stock recovery if I need it, is it available for download anywhere ? or after LineageOS instalation it also installs stock recovery ?
If you want go to stock recovery again, On OpenKirin site there are comprehensive guides, under section Support, about where to find stock EMUI firmware, and how to extract and flash stock recovery image.
I do not think that LineageOS will install stock recovery, if you had TWRP before LineageOS installation, most likely it is still there. You may check it yourself : Vol Down + Power on boot.
I've just tried LineageOS build 6 on my AGS2-W09 and the camera seems to work ok now.
Had to install OpenCamera and set the all permissions, clear storage for this app and on the next run it can finally save the aquired photo.
The 5Ghz WiFi works with no problems (my router selected channel n.60)
As for audio: there is a glitch when device is booting, might want to not wear headphones during a reboot ☺
Haven't tried disabling AudioFX or installing Viper4Android as I am rolling back to stock firmware.
Netflix:
I think I konw why Netflix is not working: I have no IMEI with this OS.
UPDATE: IMEI should not matter on this device as it has no network.
I had tried the Netflix 6.21.0 version mentioned here and it gives me the same "Device failure occurred 501.-1006" error.
Then I've installed Kodi with a Netflix addon and it gives me: "It was not possible to get data from Widevine CryptoSession. Your system is not Widevine certified".
It is pretty clear that the LineageOS 16 build 6 (lineage-16.0-20201019-emui8-gapps.img) has no Widewine libraries installed.
Other than this the OS is very responsive, unfortunately I have to rollback because of this.
I am using this tablet for Netflix and prime on stock emui.
I really want to upgrade to custom ROM but no polished ROM anywhere!
guys how you have managed to pull boot.img from the device?
can anyone guide me through?
I have successfully managed to flash LineageOS latest build on MediaPad T5

Cant seem to make android auto work, i connect it, it starts charging but thats it.
Anyone else?
I've got the same problem! It worked fine for the most part of summer and now it won't connect... I've tried many different cables, exited beta program of play services, downgraded android auto, set usb default config to File transfer without success. Android auto works fine when I use a Nokia 8, running android9, with the same cables...
I'm running stock global rom, 12.0.3.0 qjkeuxm.
Its not a ROM problem, i've tried with with eea, global, xiaomi.eu, pixel experience and evolution x, none of them work, it just charges, I don't even get a promp to select the type of connection
I had some problems with Android Auto and my Poco F2 PRO. Solutions was remove dual applications as Messenger, Facebook and WhatsApp. Now works perfect
