Hi... I have a Razer Phone and in my car I have this Sony Head unit called XSP-N1BT that uses smartphone display as the head unit display upon mounting. It's a great deck, but it doesn't have any on deck control for anything except source and vol + and -
All other settings like menu, sound enhabcements Bluetotth setup, etc are either on the physical small remote controller that came along with it, or by the use of this App from Sony called AppRemote (available on Play Store).
As the head unit has been discontinued by Sony and it's psy its support period, they won't update that app and therefore it cannot be run on nougat or higher android OS. instead of showing source input selection grid with USB, Bluetooth, CD, etc it shows the background image of the sake view, but no input selection icons and in Tue background in tiny letters you can see an HTML code.. Guess it has something to do with nougat and Oreo webview enhancements. I tried installing Marshmallows web view alone and that doesn't really do anything.
So either I need to figure out a way get the app running on nougat+ Oreo (which I doubt I'd have luck with) or I need to find a way to loaf marhmallow on my Razer phone through project treble.
Hope someone here can help. Thanks.
Project treble is only for android 8 and above...
Android 6.0 treble? loooooool . Are you kidding me ?
Dude go and read what project treble is and from when it started, so you won't create a thread like this again.

This doesn't make any sense as Treble is only available on Oreo and later.

Hello guys. About half a year ago I created WAIL Beta — last.fm scrobbler for Android with pretty good and simple UI.
But I just have no enough time to provide support to it, so I decided to make it Open Source.
I am writing here with little hope, that xda developers can help WAIL app.
Little description of Last.fm: it's a service for those, who love music. Main feature — scrobbling, when you send information about playing tracks to the last.fm and service stores it and give you recommendations based on scrobbled music.
Main features of WAIL Beta:
Catching broadcast intents from Music Players and scrobbling playing music information
Updaiting #nowplaying on last.fm
Offline support (WAIL will send data when network will be available)
Minimalistic Holo UI, looks good on Android L too
Sound notifications feature
App architecture:
WAIL — What am I listening
1) Main part of the WAIL — WAILService, it handles info about music track states and decides what to do (scrobble, update #nowplaying and more)
2) BroadcastReceivers — they catches information from Music players on your Android device and send it to the WAILService
3) SQLite database with tracks info, it allows WAIL to work offline. WAILService periodically checks it
4) UI — all UI based on fragments, Main Activity supports tablets
Main features for future:
Support for RemoteClientController. It will allow WAIL to support about 90% of music players, because it's a common API from Android to work with media apps. For example, your lockscreen uses RemoteControllerClient to show and control playing music.
Showing current playing track on the Main Screen, many users does not understand what's going on at the moment, is WAIL catching something or not
Notifications in the status bar about scrobbling, #nowplaying updates and so on
Settings for control scrobbling in different types of network (mobile, wifi)
You can easily suggest your features in issues list on the GitHub!
Who could be interested in helping WAIL?
Serious Android developers, who want show their skills and help Android App Open Source project
Android newbies, developers who want to become more skilled in Android Development. I suggest you to create or take small issues and send pull requests with implementation.
WAIL users, who is also Java or Android developers and want to fix/change or add something to the WAIL
If you decided to help WAIL Beta app:
Thank you from me and WAIL users!
I created small WIKI with git commits styleguides, git flow on the project and styleguides about source code and resources, please check WIKI on the GitHub page of the project (I can not attach links at the moment)
Yep, succesfully merged pull requests from you will be deployed to the Google Play, to real users!
I will be project maintainer, I will check pull requests and help WAIL as developer at my free time
GitHub repo: http://github.com/artem-zinnatullin/android-wail-app
Also app can be found on the Google Play (WAIL Beta).
It is fully non-commercial.
You can ask questions about app or something else in this thread!
Use this app for a long time. Like it more than other lastfm scrobblers: it's easy to use, it's not buggy, it had a lot of features that other scrobblers don't have
Good luck to you, artem_zin and hope that community will like it too
Have a way to WAIL Beta work with MixZing or it has no compatibility with this player?
You'd better write to developer in cornments on Google play. He always give a quick reply
Thanks for this great App.

Yup this App work perfect on my phone with cm13.
Stupid last FM official app is to heavy, and simple last FM scrobbler wont work.
Will no one ever pick this up and update it? Not that we really need one, but I'm sure last.fm will **** up their system sometime in thr future and this will require scrobblers to update.

It would be nice if it worked with Apple Music on Android, for starters.
I still cant see this fantastic app in my country store (Poland, cant write comment)
Not working for Apple Music for Android. There is no app available for Apple Music
I think the app needs to require notification access to get to scrobble Apple Music tracks. Is there any way to implement this option ?
Hey, found a little bug with the Samsung Music app on my S8. Wail can´t detect the title of the playing track, it always scrobbles things like Metallica -null
just took a look, it scrobbles as now playing to last.fm (with title and interpret), but last fm wont save the scrobble. Working great on poweramp
Will you add a feature to upload your data to Libre fm?
it keeps crashing on Nougat (samsung a5)
Wont work on Huawei Honor 4c stock Android 6.0
Simply not scrobble anything from any music player. I use AIMP from Play Store
Any news about this app? Its really handy for last.fm users
it's a shame to see this app not updated because it used to work great for me

it still works on my Xperia Z LineageOS 14.1 nightly builds.......
but love to see it updated.
alternative: Pano Scrobbler
Huawei Y6 Slim OS 7
Android 7.1.2
Not work.
Alternative is Scrobbal for last.fm
Has anyway been able to successfully import this to android studio lately?
Hey guys, I plan on creating an app but I need some tips and/or tricks to help me get started. I do plan on releasing the app on here (Using XDADevelopers) first to get some attention, then release it on the Google Play store. Here are the details of the app:
App Type: Lockscreen Customization
Minimal SDK: API 16 (JellyBean)*
Testing Device: Samsung S6 Edge (Rooted, running Android Marshmallow)
IDE: Android Studio
Key Components:
The app must be able to detect weither the home button is being pressed (which makes the phone access to the launcher, we dont want that) and quickly intercept the action and return back to the locker
Allow to lots, and I mean LOTS of customability (Much like C Locker, which is the app that has inspired me ^^), some of these customizations include the following:
App widgets and custom widgets like images, text, sprites, etc
LED/Vibration/Notifcation settings for apps
Change speed of animations (Like NovaLauncher does), also be able to choose different types of animations for the lockscreen
Customize colors in app
Integrate Android Wear (make the watch vibrate or ring your phone is low on power, or when the connection is lost)
Different lockscreens that show whenever the conditions configured are met, similar to C Locker (like bluetooth connections, music playing, WiFi, SmartLock conditions ,etc)
This is the cricual part: MUST have several different unlock unlock, like fingerprint (Thanks to Android 6.0.1), pattern, pin, SmartLock, Slide-To-Unlock, and Gestures
Be able to integrate as a plugin for Tasker, like have tasker check for launched apps
Intregrate voice assistants like Google Now/Google Assistant, S Voice, and such others
Have high and steady performance for all phones like. Also not be a resource hog!
This may is maybe feature: Be able to do functions like override the system settings and bypass system lock via root
Utilize Material style (this is a personal preference tbh)
I will add in some more ideas I have for the app.. Actually, I haven't gotten a good name for the app, but I'm thinking of Trinity Locker.
As you can see, I have numerous of ideas for this app.. all I need is some help with creating it. I will warn you guys this, I am pretty new to Android development (I typically code on Minecraft, even created some pretty decent mods), so I need some guidance on what and how things work with the Android system. I do have some coding experience from coding mods for Minecraft and taking a class on the basics of C++. If you guys have some ideas or tips and tricks to give, I'm all ears. Thank you!
NOTE: Anything with a * means that it is subject to change!
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I did also have a chance of using MIT App Inventor so I have a small foundation of the Android development. But I am new to Android Studio, so I need some tips with using that as well.
ALSO, to crucially note, I am in high school.. So I may not have time to respond to everyone/program the app since I have majority of my classes are cross college (or to most known as Dual Enrollment or Advanced Placement (AP)) courses :crying:. Oh and I live in the Central US Timezone, so my time will be different (or the same) for most

What I meant by the recommended api is the api I'm starting on first (since that's what Android Studio defaultly sets mento the develop on the latest first)
Hey I have gotten the first bits of the app started! I'm trying to work on the setup phase of the app (where the app asks for permissions and basic settings to start). I even got the code uploaded on Github. Oh also, I might create a XDA Developer project and start adding some info there
Hey guys! I've been adding lots of stuff to the app! If you guys notice something off with the coding, please let me now at Github! Thanks!
Hi folks, I'm new MIUI8 SE user.
I've been using android for 6 years and I'm here - XDA - for 6 years
Since I got my first android phone which was Motorola XT910, I came here xda devs forum and search what can I do. I realized to install roms on android, custom roms. And after a few months I saw MIUI 4 is available for my Motorola XT910. I installed it and it looks great. I can costumize wahtever I want with MIUI4, and later it upgraded MIUI5 bla bla..
After a few years later I bought Xiaomi phone to use stock rom as MIUI. I bought Mi5 and later Mi6. Now I'm with Mi8SE (will continue )
So, I've been almost use all MIUı since 4th generation.
Now I just saw MIUI 11 China Beta released for our and mosth xiaomi phone. I wanted you to see, install this great rom to your phone too.
Here download link page.
How to install?
Just go to TWRP and wipe cache/data,
Format Factory Rest,
Install ROM,
Update Recovery.(if not, it will stuck in fastboot mode)
And That's It...
Keep in mind that this is Chinese build and thus do not come with Google Play Services or any Google apps pre-installed, though they are easy to sideload. The features may also be slightly different from what you expect from global builds as well, given that they’re focused towards the Chinese market. Lastly, the language options are likely limited to English and Chinese.
We hope EU rom will be available this week. And global beta will come soon.

Hey,
I've been playing for some days with the stock apps source code. My goal is to be able to use the Idrive controls in my own apps.
I found how to switch to the original BMW display using an Android Intent.
So I made a little application that switch to the original display. It can be usefull when you're using a custom launcher. You just have to create a shortcut to this app and when you launch it, it switches to the BMW display.
You can download it on my Drive (in the Apps directory) :

It's working on a PX6 Android 8.1. I don't know if it's working on others unit.
Feel free to test it and tell me if it works well.
RaceX
OK, not my favorite car in the world. But my mate showed off his new (to him) Volvo XC90 about 4-5 yrs old.
We sat in it for about two hours working out all the knobs n whistles and then we found the phone section.
Not only could we pair his phone, I then did mine. Plus it has option for about ten more - at the same time
Samsung S6 and Samsung S9, so nothing too special. But the realy cool thing, and I mean REALY COOL, and something I've been crying out for for ages for my humble px5 head unit, was at the click of a touch screen not only could you see recent callers, but also recent messages. This is where I would put the well n truly shocked icon !
No google crap, nag screens, warnings of the apocolypse or anything. Jjust a simple clear list of readable recent messages.
Not only that but at a simple touch of any message it was read out. No fuss or bother, no mods, plugins or crashes or freezes.
It just worked.
So why have we let google literally kick our asses for so long. Sob.
Hi, that might be because your PX5 is not Android auto but is a hacked chinese android.
Requesting mod move to Android head units section...

Android auto is an general overall head group of sub groups of posts of specific catagories including the google os Android auto.
But before you move it, how about you show me show me a dedicated (android auto) head unit I can buy, that fits my car.
Mercedes w203. That runs 'Android auto' and doesn't have a ton of usless junk like play store, tracking, feedback, Adverts, usage logs, heart monitor, nag screens, privacy notices and works flawlessly as my post above describes. Whoose system IS also a android 'hacked' based system. And I wont care who makes it.
PLEASE - I will buy it.

You're still confusing android auto with cheap Chinese headunits running modified versions of Android 6-10 - they are very different.
Android auto units basically mirror your phone display to the vehicle Android auto headunit display.
Official / REAL Android Auto units, without the 'junk' you describe are listed here: https://www.android.com/auto/
Since you're still not alive to the differences and comparing your PX5 hacked Chinese android headunit to an unknown type unit, mods moved your post to the appropriate android headunits sub-forum.
Suggest learning the basics and differences and then ask questions.
I would say also, that head units supporting AA are not sold separately, but they only come mounted in new cars, as part of the infotainment system. They do not have and it is not possible to install apps on them, they only become alive when connected to a mobile phone (which will be then the brains of the system).
As marchnz said, they only mirror your phone's screen.
You are talking about independent head units supporting Android operating system (which do not need AA because they are already being able to download and run appps from Play store) , and that is something else.

Not quite.
I know what android auto is.
I also agree some manufatures use android as alternative to win ce to build their quality radios like Pioneer.
This is different and why I posted. Please don't assume its an either or and that I'm an idiot for mentioning it.
Volvo have used Googles android as an os without the crap 'spyware apps' and intergration to develop their OWN system. called sensus
It does not mirror a phone and run apps from it.
Although the new version does have AA and much more google integration unfortunately.
It does not require a phone to work. It has its own built in for data if need be. But also runs off line.
Its an independent system that can link to multiple paired phones for messaging and calls.
Their are no agreements and nag screen pop ups every two minutes from google. All its functions are running at once and all work together. So easy to flick from one to the other without it crashing.
Its a great system and showcases what can be done and the potential of just android as an os without googles presence and interference.
