Could you add install instructions?

[bblacher]

I can't quite figure out how to install these.

[UnlockAA]

Run XPrivacyLua Pro -> Manage hook definitions -> Import choose .json file you want to import
XPrivacyLua Pro -> Collection activate UnlockAA
You can then activate the hook in XPrivacyLua.

[starbrights]

Sorry this is not 100% clear to me. In LSPosed activate XPrivacyLua, clear. In the XPL Module: Enable it, SystemFramework and Settings are checked already by default. Anything else to do? You mentioned the hook has to be enabled by XPL Do I need to check in XPL XPrivacyLua pro too? (Did it) Do I need to check AndroidAuto? To get it you first has to make it visible by uncheck "hide System apps" (check it too)

In XPrivacyLua Pro -> Manage hook definitions -> Import (all the json files for a dedicated version? ) and check the UnlockAA box to become red? (I did import all)

In Settings/App/AA: Force stop it and open additional settings in app, adjust Launcher. To bad, I still the only the few apps that has been visible before.

If I in "adb shell" run the logcat command there are a lot of lines coming. All around 623. Not sure why so many. as example like this:

When I enable/disable AA in XPL I see

Whats did I wrong? All the hooks (8.2) appear, but not the unlock.json.

[UnlockAA]

So far everything looks correct.
Did you check both boxes in XPrivacyLua for Android Auto?
According to logs, ManipulatePhenotype is active. What about UnlockApps below?

The log lines are there for experimentation, you can see what it loads with which default values.
You can change it in the scripts as needed. There should be examples in there too. For example, enable Coolwalk If you are bothered by the log lines, you can edit the script and comment out the log line.

[alexanderrogling]

Go in to LSPosed and go in to modules then in to XprivacyLUA and enable both recommended and Android Auto and maybe it will work for you I'm pretty sure that was the thing making it to work for me, I did have same problem like you in the begging and did gave up and suddenly it did work.

Which was probably because of enable Android Auto in XprivacyLUA module in lsposed.

[alexanderrogling]

Good news everybody I have found what was making it work for me, so later this week I will probably releas it to the public and with a pull request :)

An e-mail address will come here (today 2023-02-23) where interested parties should send an e-mail if interested and don't want to wait until I have try it a bit more on my devices.

[starbrights]

Great news you got it. But do you have to tweak what UnlockAA did? The Xprivacy handling is a bit tricky, but once you understand it works well. The only drawback with that solution: updates are a bit painful, as you have to fiddle out the params for each version.

[alexanderrogling]

Yes, I had to tweak what UnlockAA did in order to get it to work on AA 8.2.6.623924. While the Xprivacy handling can be a bit tricky, I agree that updates can be painful as you have to fiddle with the params for each version.

Unfortunately, even with the minor change I made to the maxAPK parameter (from 82623924 to 82623925), UnlockAA still doesn't work perfectly with AA 8.2.6.623924 on Android 13 (well UnlockAA work but has side effects that people would blame UnlockAA for).

As Screen2Auto tends to crash frequently, As a result, I haven't sent a pull request yet, as I'm concerned that people may complain that it "works" but not as expected.

Another thing is that with CoolWalk enabled Plex, PlexAMP just straight out crashes when trying to load it "fullscreen" when CoolWalk is enabled, So I need to take contact with people from Plex or search on there forum if they know that Plex and PlexAMP straight out crashes when using CoolWalk.

However, I may still consider doing a pull request, as I know it works as expected on A12, when it comes to Screen2Auto and other stuff that works as expected when using CoolWalk.

Would love to be able to get a handout to even get it to work on newer AA but to be honest I'm not even close to paintience enough to be able to understand how to use it and how much is req. to get it work on newer AA.

[starbrights]

I figured out to get it working once at a newer version (85624534 - see below): It needs to be decompiled AA - and honestly I didn't understood the code - just looked for some special words. If you look at the now 3 examples you might figure out that only 4 lines are to be changed, and two are the version. Other are className and methodName. As a securitiy feature this names changed in each version. Not sure I will get it work again. For me it was just important to get any other Navigation than Google to work. I plan to touch this again once switching to A13, but I hope that other easier methods might be available than. Nevertheless big thanks to UnlockerAA from my side.

@starbrights instead of us "flooding" this report/req. you could send me e-mail to aa_patch@rar-network.se (an redirect e-mail so the reply from me will come from different e-mail adress) or if using Discord join https://discord.gg/py5HauWNPj and we could talk on one of those options :)

As I have some ideas that I would love to bounce with somebody that seems to have at least so much knowledge about programming if not more then I do.

[bblacher]

I finally got it working for me, planning on adding the instructions myself. In the meantime, would you care to take a look at this, I would love to add update instructions as well.

[alexanderrogling]

IF you e-mail me on above e-mail. Then we could probably make up a new patch and do a pull request, stupid to reinvent the wheel IF you havet fix it better then I have

[bblacher]

@alexanderrogling I'll get on it this weekend.

[bblacher]

We don't need this anymore because of this.
