Wireless dongle (lemmy.world)

Anyone have experience and an opinion on a solid wireless dongle brand? I'm leaning towards the Motorola one just because of the name and decent reviews.

My Google Chat is missing from AA after the 10.5 upgrade on Pixel 7.

Has anyone else seen this?

Can navigation begin automatically after saying my destination? (lemm.ee)

As it is now, after I say "OK Google, take me to (destination)", it will show the route to destination and shows an icon for you to press before navigation actually begins.

Is there a way to skip that icon pressing step?

GameSnacks in action (youtu.be)

This is actually a pretty good way to kill time while your car is parked and you are waiting for someone...

The animation is normally super smooth, but since I was using the same phone to run AA and take the video, that caused a bit of stuttering for the games.

Is there any 3rd party AA game other than this stock GameSnacks app?

First Post ! Do you play videos on your AA head unit? How are you doing it (lemm.ee)

There are a plethora of ways if you search around, some obsolete, some still work, some require root, some don't.

For me (as someone who has just started using AA), I have been using Fermata Auto downloaded from github, installed as an LSposed module to bypass AA checks, and it works well playing videos including those from

  • Youtube
  • Jellyfin server that I am self-hosting
  • Local video files

I'd like to be able to cast KODI to my head unit screen. Is AAAD a possible way to do this? Or do I need a screen mirroring method?
