It's the same phenomenon ><
Turn on developer mode in android auto under settings>connected devices>connection preferences>android auto, then enable developer mode & allow unknown sources under android auto's developer settings. That will get apps like carstream showing on ur vehicle infotainment screen.
HOWEVER, I don't know anybody getting it to work yet on any Pixel w/ Android 14 unless they had it working prior to installing 14. For some weird "grandfathered" reason AAAD, carstream, & other AAAD apps will work if u had them working & were using them PRIOR to updating to 14. If ur on 14 & are just now downloading AAAD or any of its apps it's too late. U have to downgrade to 13 & get AAAD & the apps u want THEN upgrade to 14 AFTER for it to work on Pixels. Not sure if that's even possible on a P8 since it shipped w/ Android 14. It works on Samsungs no problem.
It's weird cause I have a Pixel Fold on 13. I had AAAD/carstream working on 13 for 2 weeks so I bought AAAD Pro. I updated tht phone to 14 & it still worked. Got a replacement Pixel Fold for an issue & I updated tht phone to 14 BEFORE installing AAAD/carstream & now I get the dreaded "no new messages during this drive" & no AAAD apps work.
This behavior has been verified by many ppl. If u install AAAD & car stream & use them BEFORE updating to Android 14 ur fine. If ur on 14 first & trying to install/use them they don't work. U can get em to show in ur car but you'll get the no new msgs error. There's at least 4 ppl tht downgraded to 13 & they worked again. I can't downgrade because I can't unlock my bootloader.
Long story short ur screwed unless u can/want to downgrade ur new Pixel to 13. The developer hasn't responded to any msgs so idk if he is looking into it or is bothered to care. I bought pro but haven't been helped or responded to yet. I'd downgrade to 13 if I could because carstream is worth it to me. I miss it dearly.
Is there a fork that is trying to make things up to date with Android 14?
Not to my knowledge. They're still selling the pro version w/o mentioning the a14 issue. I've been trying to find or create a fix myself. I have made progress where I can force the removal of package installer v14 & force the install of package installer v13 on android 14. This fixes it however once you reboot or loose cell connection or switch to Wi-Fi it causing the phone to crash & soft brick where u have to load the os & lose all data. It has something to do w/ package installer v14 being baked into the android 14 os. Im assuming the phone looks for something tht isn't there or in a proper place causing the crash.
same issue here on Android 14 on Pixel 7 Pro and latest version of AAAD (with pro subscription)
Android 14 not working - has anyway found an APK like the one that was working in Android 13?
Same issue π pixel 8 android 14
Is there any news on how close a fix is? π
The developer is selling the app w/o mentioning it doesn't work anywhere. There has been no acknowledgement of it being a problem on here or anywhere. They're not replying to anything & continuing as if it doesn't exist. Im actually not even sure they check GitHub. According to 1 person on here they are aware as he said he was refunded through DM's for it not working. If they're working on a fix they're doing so in full stealth mode. It doesn't seem like too much to ask to do 1 of the following:
A. Say "We aren't actually trying to fix this so contact us for a refund if purchased after this date ##/##/####.
B. "We're working on a fix but it may be some time. I will post regular updates on progress "
C. If you don't plan to fix it or even try or even have the human decency to say anything AT LEAST post a banner on the app before somebody pays saying it won't work on a14 or pixels for people.
It just seems SUPER foul to just sell this knowing it's in a worthless state right now.
While it does seem that the issue queue is being ignored, the "Help" option in the app itself got me a reply right away. I made sure to keep it extremely civil, because although anger is appropriate after paying for something that doesn't work, I wanted to maximize chances of a reply. Turns out that works SUPER WELL, people -- response time was less than 8 hours!!
we are indeed aware of problems affecting Android 14 and we are actively working on it. It's mostly a cat chasing the mouse game. Google likes taking measures to stop boredom in their system, but we are working on the fix. There's a lot we are testing so I can't provide an ETA right now, I'm afraid.
I then asked if I could share that with the issue queue:
Feel free to do so!

I appreciate you. My replies got more & more negative as a lot of time passed w/o any news or acknowledgement. That coupled w/ the fact you can buy this now w/o being told or warned it doesn't work. Expecting a reply in a GitHub where you get the app isn't toooo crazy of an expectation. Glad to see at least some effort though. Ty for taking the time to post for the developers.
Hi, and thanks for posting, good to hear work is ongoing in the background, my charging sessions just aren't the same at the moment π π€£
i bought this app not knowing its not working on pixel devices and really hope this functionality gets restored as i have not been able to actually use the app sense purchase.
I miss my working CarStream very much π
Still no ETA?
I reached out to the developer. I received the same reply as yeahforbes. Verbatim. I am not holding my breath for the time being. I anticipate at least few months if ever.
Hi all , i reached out via the help option and have recieved the following reply

"Yes progress were made indeed. At the moment we are trying to bundle the solution inside AAAD itself because as of now we found a method that requires much configuration from the start. "

This is promising @muppetofdoom keep me updated i am considering rolling back as I just installed a head unit in my old car and went to get AAAD and realized all of the apps are bricked on android 14 with my pixel 6
After paying for the AAAD app, I initialized the smartphone, reinstalled it, and ran it again, but it prompted me to pay again... Either refund 3.5 euros or give me pro rights again... or give me the license again... If not, I'll refund the money to the payment card company. I will demand it..!!

Take it easy. Just use the help function on the app and explain your situation. They are very responsive and will reinstate your pro license so long as you can prove that you've paid for it. You won't get too far with that demeanour.

Any update?
Any update?
Any at all????
Please stop just asking for updates when there clearly are not any. The dev is working on it if you have read above. Send a support request from the app via email if you're curious.
Since I have AAAD a bit longer for now but never really used it, only Fermata, I now wanted to set up Screen2Auto. Obviously didn't work (Pixel 5, Android 14). My search brought me here. Nice to hear that updates are in development even if it takes time.
My question is: Why is it that Pixels don't work? Is it in general or only Pixel that already come with Android 14?
Is it possible to roll back my Pixel 5 to Android 13? How difficult is it? Any Guideline?
Just want to make sure if it's worth the try.
Thx guys

OMG this guy.. acting this way for 3.50 euro, he comes across as the devs owe him their lives and 100% attention.
Reached out to the developer. Asked him/her if there is a timeline for a fix. Here's the reply:
Not as of now. Thereβs a test version weβve distributed to a closed group. Though we're finding out some errors weβre still managing to get It fixed.
The question is: which Version of AA und which version of Screen2Auto where the last, that worked on Android 13. I rolled back already and want to get it to Work. But so far not successful
Is it possible to join the closed group to test? Id love to test it.
is everyone still coming here for updates?

Can I get the test version. Samsung Galaxy s23 Android 14
If you need another im on a pixel 7 pro running android 14, i bought it when this problem started (didn't know there was a issue with compatibility) didn't want to return it as i would like to see it work. If i can help in anyway pm me.
Any updates? So I just got a s24 ultra and it automatically has 14 installed on it. I was wondering if just downgrading to 13 and then installing it back on here is the only solution as of now? This is too bad! I have also paid for the Pro version π«€
You could expect that when one of us who got in touch with the developer (through the actual channel where the developer responds: the help link in the app) hears back that there's some type of solution, we'll put it here immediately. Until then, this thread (within an issue queue that the developer does not participate in, as far as I can tell, which I suppose is fine... use github for some features and not others) is just going to continue being noise, questions without answers, useless except to establish a collective understanding that many people are in the same boat. Use the help option in the app instead of this.
