So I finally have Android Apps working on the Chromebook Pixel 2013. It was an easy matter installing the R11 firmware. The issues I am facing have to do with the sound. It plays sound, although the volume does not seem to work as it should. It only really changes when I set it to either mute or on at full volume.
Also, there seems to be an issue with the headphones. I need to go into the Alsamixer and unmute the channels. The issue is I can not save this setting (tried the normal Linux way with no success) so when ever the comp is restart have to go back into the Alsa mixer. It is not a major issue, but it is one thing keeping it from being flawless.
The only other thing is the mouse pointer in android apps is very small. I am thinking this has to do with the way Android is rendered on Chrome OS and the resolution of the screen, so not sure if there is any way of fixing it, but thought it I would bring it up. Beyond that, if anyone has a Chromebook Pixel and wants Android apps, the process is easy. If anyone needs me to outline the full process, just let me know! The Chromebook Pixel 2013 is far from dead, and still one of the most stunning laptops you can buy!
I'll probably be doing this myself shortly. I'll investigate the audio issues and alsamixer. I assume this is you? https://www.reddit.com/r/chromeos/c...pixel_2013_but_now/?ref=share&ref_source=link

Did you ever get this working? I've tried and after installing the R11 firmware it won't boot.
How do you install the firmware?

Got my NC doing nothing, been thinking I could come up with a good use for it, so I been thinking how about using it as a screen for android auto?
For those who don't know AA runs on your phone and uses your car's navigation screen a remote screen of sorts. So its perfect for the NC which doesn't have a lot of power
Question is if it could work
Android Auto is baked into Lollipop and above, which is not available on the Nook Color. One option that you can try is an app called Automate. It allows you to use a phone or tablet as an Android Auto Screen. It does require Android 4.1 or above though.
Afaik the NC has no gps so it would have to receive that data from the phone which is why I was thinking of android auto, else I would just be using it as a standalone unit
Hello.
I managed to install RemixOS in my Asus Transformer Book T100TAM, and so far I'm loving it.
But I can't get the touchscreen to work, any hints?
Also, I'd like to turn off the option to tap-to-click, because I keep clicking accidentaly. Is it possible?
Thanks in advance.
It seems that the touchscreen driver doesn't work or is not there. Android-x86 build works fine with touch as far as I remember.
I have one question for you:
Do internal speakers disable automatically when you connect the headphones into the audio input?
The internal speaker doesn't disable when I plug headphones.
If you need anything tested for this particular model, please ask me.
An update on my issue: I reinstalled Remix OS, and at first boot the touchscreen works OK. After a reboot, it never works again.
Don't know if it's relevant, but I used this tool to install Remix OS:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/winapp-android-x86-installer-uefi-t3222483
Had to use the tool because this PC doesn't have Legacy Boot, and it has 32 bit only UEFI.
Another thing: the camera LED notification light (a dot that only lights up when the camera is in use) is always on.
Hello. I have a question. In Android Nougat your'e supposed to be able to split the screen to use two apps at once. What I need to find out is if it's possible to do this with two displays instead?
I just bought an Android car stereo with video-out and have an extra slot in the car panel for another display. What then would be cool would be if I can run different apps on two displays? Like the music player on the main unit and gps (like waze or something) on the other screen. I've been looking for info on this for quite some time now but can't really find anything. Not even anyone saying it's not possible?
If anyone's got knowledge on this I would be grateful.
Thanks.
Anyone?
Sorry but it seems complicated, I'm not sure you can have dual screen feature. Maybe if you Google it you'll find what you search.
Hey guys, I would like to start a discussion about the Android Auto and it's issues on the latest ROMs for k20/9t pro. For instance I find it barely working on latest pixel experience but the January version of this rom is not affected.
I consider Android auto as must be as well as correct notification that's why I have chosen custom rom.. but now I'm at the crossroads.
What seems to be a problem? Is there any hope for positive future implementation of this app?
I believe there were no topics like this If so let me know.
I don't know why xiaomi phones have such problems with android auto, in custom roms it doesn't work also in all xiaomi roms (global, stable, beta, eu, china...) If you enable dual app it stop working and it does that in every xiaomi phone(to be exact mi mix 3, mi8, k20 pro is the same scenario)
It's not Xiaomi phone's fault , android auto is not working in many other custom , I had Google pixel 2 xl as well, and it was running on havoc os and still android auto were not working in that model.
It's google problem poor programators like in M$
Sometimes, when I plug the phone, media controls (on steering wheel) don't work, and Spotify doesn't show on screen, and I need to unplug and plug again the phone for getting them to work.
Except this, I don't have other problems.
Sorry for the off-topic, but how about MirrorLink? Is it still only compatible with Samsung, Sony, and Nokia phones? It would be great to be able to mirror screen to my 10" in-car screen. My last 3-4 phones had luck only with Android Auto, and some of them barely worked. 2020, and there's still no proper communication standard (wireless preferably) between Android phones and cars.
Hello XDA,
I'm having issues with my Android Auto. I'm using it with OnePlus 7T Pro (with the latest OOS 10.0.13 and the latest AA 5.9.604634).
After a click or few inside an application (no matter if it is a Phone, Spotify, Waze,...), the cursor disappears from the app. I can control the bottom bar only - that one works flawlessly. When this happens, the application still normally works, it doesn't freeze or anything, I just cannot control it. It behaves the same wired and wireless.
I recorded a quick video presenting the issue:
YouTube
The thing is, when I tried it with Samsung Galaxy S8 and there were no issues, so it looks to be something wrong with my OnePlus.
Do you have any idea how to troubleshoot this? How to find out what is causing it and possibly how to fix this?
I tried to delete all data from AA application on my phone, but no luck.
I'll be happy for any advice, thank you.
