Running Screen2Auto on Android 13
Android 13 is highly stable for Screen2Auto. Learn how to configure accessibility hooks, disable battery restriction, and sideload safely.
Android 13 Overview
Android 13 provides excellent performance for screen mirroring. Unlike newer versions, it does not force recurrent system casting dialogues. Sideloading via AAAD or AAStore works natively, provided you enable the necessary developer options.
Setup and Sideload Steps
Step-by-step instructions to get Screen2Auto active on Android 13.
Install AAAD
Download and install the Android Auto Apps Downloader (AAAD) to bypass default Play Store installation requirements.
Deploy Screen2Auto
Launch AAAD, tap Screen2Auto, and authorize installation. If blocked, choose "Install Anyway."
Disable Battery Restrict
To prevent Android 13 from closing the app in the background, go to app settings for Screen2Auto, select Battery, and change it to Unrestricted.
Enable accessibility and draw-over hooks
Authorize drawing permissions so Screen2Auto can mirror your phone screen to the car dashboard correctly.
Android 13 Known Issues
Be aware of these minor bugs and optimization issues.
Background Kill
Aggressive battery saver rules can terminate Screen2Auto casting services. Fix this by setting the app battery usage to Unrestricted.
Audio Latency
Bluetooth audio stream can drift slightly out of sync when playing videos. Toggling audio routing within Screen2Auto settings fixes this.
Touch Offset
Certain custom displays experience offset touch response coordinates. Modify resolution scaling in Screen2Auto settings.
