Learn From My Stupidity...Another Android Auto on /e/OS thread

Using /e/OS Applications
2

okay, so here is the list of procedures I performed, generally speaking, that worked…

  1. Install /e/OS if you’re not on it already. Enable USB Debugging if you haven’t already.
  2. Root your phone if you haven’t already. Procedures vary slightly between phones, but it typically involves extracting either boot.img or init-boot.img from your installer file, patching it with Magisk, downloading the file to your computer, rebooting in fastboot mode, then doing a fastboot flash boot boot_patched.img and rebooting. If you’re successful, the ‘superuser’ command will be available within the Magisk app.
  3. Enable Zygisk within Magisk.
  4. Download all three stub APK files from here: GitHub - rik-shaw/aa-stubs: Android Auto stub apps for use with de-Googled ROMs . Install all three on your phone.
  5. download LSposed-zygisk and move to your phone’s storage. Within Magisk, go to the ‘modules’ tab, then ‘install from storage’. Install the LSposed module and reboot.
  6. Download/Install Android Auto from the App Lounge or Aurora Store.
  7. Download the Android Auto XLauncher.
  8. Connect to your vehicle and go through the Android Auto setup. You should see, at least, a default launcher on the screen.
  9. disconnect your phone, go to Magisk, install the AAXL module, reboot.
  10. Once rebooted, go to the LSposed Manager, and enable the AAXL module.

This procedure is what worked for me to get Android Auto working properly, in my car, including Android Auto compatible apps, which weren’t sourced from Google Play.

I hope it helps someone!!
