Performance Monitor for VAG-group cars with Android Auto

v0.88B

4 years ago

LOTS of new stuff in this release. Thanks to @divacky,@mobrembski and @Lucas-M-G for a lot of additional improvements and features!

Changes

screendump-2020-01-20-172249

  • Added VW AID theme
  • Added BMW-style theme
  • Added optional accurate mode to clocks (less animation delay)
  • Added optional consumption dashboard
  • Added additional optional dashboards
  • Added proximity features
  • Added a lot of Torque-Pro data elements
  • Fixed a lot of bugs
  • Improved dots-background
  • Improved status/titlebar (custom titles and such)
  • Added tyrepressures and status
  • Added some backgrounds (like an OEM AndroidAuto v4.5 background and GTD)
  • Added polish translation
  • Adapted to suit within the Android Auto v4.5 UI

Installation:

  • Uninstall the old version
  • Uninstall the VAG extensions
  • Download the latest vex-vag-service , 2.4 from @martoreto: https://github.com/martoreto/aauto-vex-vag/releases/download/v2.4/aauto-vex-vag-2.4.apk .
  • Download the latest version of Performance Monitor.
  • Reinstall the latest versions of both apks, be sure to grant rights from the Performance Monitor Settings app!
  • If you want to use the Torque data elements, make sure you have installed Torque, enabled full plugin access in the settings. And, of course, you need a working OBD2 dongle connected to Torque.

Note: Google blocks custom AA apps on Google Play Services > v12.15.21 and AA v3.0. Find a workaround. I will not include any app-enabling/root features in my app. There are several apps enabling custom apps, but you need root access. Do a search on XDA developers to find something of your liking. On Discover Pro you can use my MIB2-toolbox to enable 3rd party applications: https://github.com/jilleb/mib2-toolbox

Known bugs:

  • Enabling logging can slow the app down.
  • Some issues with units. Will be fixed in a future version where I'll refactor the entire unit system.
  • Probably something else. Please don't be rude when you find something. You didn't pay for the app, and I'm just a guy who is doing this out of personal enthousiasm and love for the community. If you find a bug, post it in the Issues section.

Additional screenshots:

  • Possibility to customize titles (emoji allowed) screendump-2020-01-20-172618

v0.44b-beta

6 years ago

A small release, but hopefully the last one to fix crashes that occur because of bugs in data elements.

Changelog:

  • Fix: Crash when having Gear recommendation selected
  • Updated README file, removing some known issues, introducing a new one: app slowing down over time, and restarting. I'll probably work this out before the next release.

When you use it for the first time, try not to enable ALL the data elements. Just check if there's any data first, by selecting some elements before connecting to the car. Do NOT change settings while connected, that's just not a good idea. If it doesn't work while it did work in a previous version, try an older version of aauto-vex-vag: https://github.com/martoreto/aauto-vex-vag/releases If it crashes, send me a logcat.
