Satunes being compatible with Android Auto but not distributed on Google Play Store, to activate it, follow the following steps: 1) Go to Android Auto settings. 2) Multiple click on "Version" to activate dev mode. 3) Go to Dev's settings and activate "Unknown sources" as this app is not published on Google Play Store. 4) Click on the 3 buttons as in point 3, but click on "Exit developer mode" the setting you just activated will be saved. 5) Add app in launcher. 6) Enjoy
Vanilla Music
Music player with a simple interface similar to the stock music player. Supports browsing by folder, queueing, shake-to-skip and more. Supports the same audio formats as the stock music player since the system media APIs are used. This is a fork of https://f-droid.org/packages/org.kreed.vanilla which is no longer being developed by its author. We keep that in the repo as it supports Android versions below 4.0.3.
