If you’re trying to daily drive it, I’d recommend strongly against it. It’ll be an absolutely miserable experience for you, and probably will be quite slow even if you’re using it as a wall display.

That being said, this xda post seems to still have a live file. Hopefully it’s what you need

If this is part of your threat model and you are using lineage on a device that supports avb_custom_key then you can sign it yourself before flashing

Pixel doesn’t come with Facebook installed as a system app. Instant win right there

Why? Reactions are great to acknowledge a text when a reply isn’t needed. Takes away some social burden, at least to me

I take it that doesn’t mean they’re looking to be Linux compatible

*if you have a laptop with 16gb of vram. Otherwise you’ll be watching ollama hit your CPU for 5 minutes with no output

VPN should only cause connection issues. If it was interfering it usually fails to show up on the dash at all and will give you a red error screen on your phone

Interesting behavior. Turn-by-turn uses a different audio channel than music, so it would make sense for that to work while music doesn’t. Music only coming from the center speaker is weird. I’m assuming you’re not playing surround encoded media. Have you tried resetting the Android Auto app, and bar that Google Play Services itself? (Note that resetting Google Play services will reset any connected wear os devices)

Is it just Poweramp having issues playing or any audio while in Android Auto? Do you get turn-by-turn nav? Try another music app (newpipe has an android auto UI if you need something free to test with)

Is Power Amp installed from Google Play or side loaded? Android Auto will inexplicably refuse to launch side loaded apps half of the time. If it is launching but no audio is coming out, this isn’t the solution for you

To get around that I download my app (in my case, CoMaps) via Obtainium + Shizuku with the option “Set Google Play as the installation source”

Since Poweramp isn’t FOSS, you’ll have to download their provided apk & move it to /data/local/tmp with adb

Then you can run pm install -i "com.android.vending" /data/local/tmp/Poweramp-build-999-uni.apk

This will overwrite the installed app’s installation source with Google Play and let Android Auto work with it

You’ll still get a “System problem detected!” Popup on first boot like you have been for the last 20 years though
