I can't find Android Auto on the playstore on my phone, and when I go to the playstore from my PC it tells me that "This app is incompatible with all of your devices."
Is it really incompatible, or maybe this is because Android Auto is not yet available in my country?

As far as I can tell the only requirements for the app itself is android lollipop and above so it probably is geo restricted
Since I don't have your device anymore I can't check
I have included the app in the attachment below though for you to install yourself
It is compatible, I am using it and installed it from play store. Maybe clear the Play store cache? AS pointed out you can also just install the apk (also from apkmirror)
Thanks. Are you using it with the G5 or the G5 Plus?
What is strange is that it is telling me that it is incompatible with my device, and not that it is not available in my country, as it happens with some other apps.
Is it is safe to install it with an .apk, and would I receive updates if I do it that way?

The apk I posted was downloaded by myself from the playstore so totally safe
You would only get updates if It is available in your playstore & even then you may have to uninstall & reinstall depending on app signatures if different in different locations

Thanks. If I can get confirmation that it should work with the moto g5 (not the plus) then I will try it out.
Any reason why Google would have country restrictions on Android Auto? The cars are the same, the apps (maps, music etc) work fine, so why place restrictions on Android Auto? Apple doesn't seem to have any such restriction with Car Play (in my country at least)

Why do you need confirmation to try it? Just try it - it will either install or say app not installed
Like I said the only min requirements is lollipop so no reason why the app won't install
Some apps maybe geo restricted for licensing purposes - if Googling why the app isn't available in your country doesn't come up with anything the only thing you can do is contact the app developer

Lol by all means scan it - decompile it & check it
If you know my reputation around here you know I provide support
I used to be a recognised contributor but left xda for a while
Also I provided the official twrp for this device
So looking through my past posts/threads you will see the kind of support I provide
Of course, I mean you work on twrp for g5 and yet someone still manages to be suspicious
I am not suspicious I just want to know if it actually works! If this is not a country thing, maybe they marked this phone as incompatible for a good reason. I don't yet have a car with Android Auto so I can't fully test it now. Maybe it would run on the phone itself, but then fail to connect to the car (I've seen reports of this happening for several phones including different versions of the Moto G). Or maybe there is some other kind of bug that only shows up once connected to a car...

The only person that can answer your question would be the app developer
Would be quicker & easier to test yourself as the chance of someone with a moto g5 & the car you might have with android auto support would be highly unlikely
In these situations it's always better to just try yourself or contact the app developer for support
I installed the apk that TheFixItMan has provided and it works fine, on both the phone and a car I tried it with for a few minutes. Thanks!
As it was said previously I can't update Android auto from the play store now, so I assume at some point it might stop working properly. Should I just get a new apk every time I need an update?

Yes just get the latest apk
As long as it's just the version that is on the playstore (unmodified) like I provided you can just update it without having to uninstall previous version

Google is your friend
Use an alternative app store like aptoide
Hi All,
I've recently been able to root my Galaxy Folder 2 (SM-G1650), but had to downgrade to Marshmallow to do it. The only firmware version available is for China-based phones. I've been able to remove all the bloatware, but the Samsung Browser that's installed is the China version, with China-based search engines, and a specific Chinese-language home page.
I've tried removing the system-installed browser, and installing both from Playstore, as well as sideloaded APK. It still gives me the China version of the browser each time. I'm assuming it's something to do with the region/locale/IMEI of the phone being China based. Oddly enough, my Playstore region is US.
Does anyone know how to get the international version of the browser installed? I have full root, and can change whatever is needed in the system directory/build.prop/etc.
Thanks!
Hi people I'm facing one problem with my galaxy watch 46mm I have one s10 plus with android Q havd root and custom rom and after I install the custom rom the watch won't connect anymore I have galaxy buds and they work fine but the work on my girlfriend and my sister phone but in mine don't
Galaxy Wearable and Plugins for Samsung devices has been built with specified configuration & registered to used some specified function with Android Framework, which may be not allowed, in the case of custom rom.
At first, u should try to install non-samsung version of Galaxy Wearable and Plugin, then try to connect. If it still not work. Take logcat, maybe I can help.

try the one from Google Play Store, as I remember, latest version for non-samsung is deployed there.
After install Galaxy Wearable, it will download the plugin for Watch 46mm, but I doubt that since Galaxy Wearable check your OEM is Samsung(even that the Rom is custom rom), it will download the plugin version for Samsung device.
U can ask for help from someone with non-samsung device to export their plugin apk to try (sorry I cant help, since I'm using iPorn...)
Problem solved was the rom
Hey guys,
Currently setting up a Galaxy S9 for a family member, i'm reading articles from 2020 stating that you can sideload the Bixby Routines APK on Galaxy S9 and that it works perfectly. But i've not seen any recent articles about it.
Can you confirm it is still working flawlessly with the latest Android 10 / One UI 2.5 build?
The latest APK on Sammobile is 3.1.17.6
Thanks!
Ok so I tried installing Bixby Routines version 3.1.17.6 and it wouldn't install, same with 2.4.45 and 2.4.41.4 (all three APKs available from Sammobile).
The APK files were on internal storage, I know this install issue was occuring for APKs located on external storage, but it wasn't the case here.
I'm guessing it's a firmware related issue, the Galaxy S9 is running Android 10.
Anyway if anyone has Bixby Routines working on S9 with Android 10, i'd be happy to get some feedback on which APK you are using, thank you!
I am using ver. 2.6.30.1 on SM-G9600. Could not install any version newer than that.
Hi Guys. I need some help with my F41.
I have two cellphones. A F41 with magisk root and Xiaomi Mi A3 without root.
I bought a sansung tv and I was trying to use the app called "Smart Things" to connect the TV to the smartphone.
The problem is: Xiaomi Mi A3 see the app on play store but F41 dont.
Investigating a little bit about the problem, I saw a lot of users suggesting a lot of thing like clear cache, register my google account again, update my playstore and/or my android.... But nothing works.
Here is the deal: i dont let my android update, at all. I dont like updates. They just slows the cellphone and consume a lot of battery.
After a while, comparing the issue with other issues i Had with Aptoide and APKpure for the last years I realized that the problem is: some apps updates are modifiing by its developers to not work on old versions of android and I realy think this is the problem here.
So, in order to solve the problem I have to update my android. But I Reeeeeeally dont want to do that.
So the question is: is there any way of bypass the version cheking sistem of apps? Or there is a way of solving this problem without updating my android version?
Android Version: 11
One UI Core version: 3.1
Model: Galaxy F41 (SM-F415F)
Thaks a lot.
