I did a internet search on "AAAD" and I found this github repository. I'm not sure if it is the same, but they seem to serve the same purpose and share the same name. I took a look into the code and I saw something about Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID in AboutPaymentActivity.kt, so I did some searching on that, and according to a person on stackoverflow, Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID is a ID unique to every app on your phone, this ID will persist across uninstalls and reinstalls. The only reason it should change is if the package name or signing key changes. Also it should be different for different users on the phone, but im guessing it might not be possible to add more users on android auto, im not sure, I've never really used one.

Now, about circumventing it, you could modify the source code and remove the license verification checks and rebuild, but this might not be legal, I'm not to good with legal stuff, but the license had a few words that suggest it might be non-free, but if software licenses arent an issue, feel free! There is also the option of just resigning the apk with your own key, which should change the ID, I believe you can do this in luckypatcher with one click, but lucky patcher is kind of sketchy and might not be able to work on android auto, I dont know much about them.

I hope this helps, im sorry I couldnt find any like anything that could just reset it and be done with it, maybe someone else might chime in with a more helpful answer.

If Firefox can read it from disk without a password, any other program running as your user can read it from disk without a password. But to prevent this you can encrypt your Firefox profile with a password.

When your browser connects to a website, it will tell the webserver what type of browser you are using in the HTTP headers. This can be used for serving a special web page for browsers with quirks, or it can be used to block certain browsers.

It may look something like this:

    
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:123.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/123.0

  

But you can use an extension like this one to spoof your user agent and send out one that corresponds to a chromium browser.

I use SSH with port fowarding to securely access my services running on my server to anywhere I have internet. Its easy to setup, just expose any device running a ssh server like openssh to the internet, probably on a port that isnt 22, and with key only authentication.

Then on whatever device you want to get your services on you can do like

    
ssh -p 8022 -L 8010:192.168.75.111:80 user@serverspublicip

  

Where 8022 is the port of the ssh server exposed to the internet (default is 22), 8010 is the port its gonna bind to on the device you are using the client (it will bind to 127.0.0.1 by default), 192.168.75.111:80 is the address/hostname and the port of where your services are on your local network, and user@serverspublicip is your username and the ip address of where your ssh server is.

You can also use ssh to make a SOCKS proxy in your network like this

    
ssh -g -D 1080 user@serverspublicip

  

This will make a socks proxy into your network on your device at 127.0.0.1:1080. All of this can also be done on just about any mobile phone running android by using termux.

Dolphin + mpv for me so I can see the album covers and metadata and see whats available, if I have a specific song in mind, then ill just use the terminal and mpv.

I just gave it a try on my system and it worked just like it did before! Ill have to change my scripts to mount to /run/nextroot instead of /mnt, but i am very relieved that it is still possible. I was having trouble with it all morning. Thank you so much for your reply! It is much appreciated!

Im glad I was able to help!

Something that should be noted when adding colors to your shell prompt function is adding the non printable characters that keep the terminal from buggin out, this caused me a massive headache until I figured it out. When putting it in the PS1 variable directly you will put \[ to begin a color sequence and \] to end one, but printf will print a literal [ and ] so instead you will have to use \001 to start and \002 to end, I also recommend changing \e to \033 or \x1B to make things a bit more portable. For a quick example \[\e[1;31m\] would become \001\033[1;31m\002. Without these characters the terminal will like glitch out when you type a long command and then go back to the front.

If you are like messing around or trying to learn a new programming language, you can try like porting your shell prompt to that language, Ive ported mine to C and set it using the same subsitution shell method, I thought it was a fun lil challenge.

But anyways, I hope you have fun customizing your shell prompt!

A person in this thread already recommended having different colors for different conditions like ssh and running as root, I havent seen anyone mention this specifically but you can determine if the current working directory is writable with something like [ -w "$(pwd)" ] and set the color to red or print a symbol if it doesnt return true.

Also I recommend putting all the code and logic for your shell prompt in a shell function, and using a substitution shell to put it into the PS1 variable like this:

    
__shellprompt ()
{
    if [ "$(id -u)" = 0 ]; then
        local PROMPT_EMBLEM='#'
    else
        local PROMPT_EMBLEM='$'
    fi
    printf "%s" "$(whoami)@$(uname -n):$(pwd)"
    printf "\n%c " "$PROMPT_EMBLEM"
}
PS1='$(__shellprompt)'

  

Now this is just a really barebones example, there is a whole lot more you can do like passing in the last exit code through the argv of your shellprompt function like this PS1='$(__shellprompt $?)' and like print it out if its non-zero so you wont have to like echo $? to see if the last command failed, but you should be able to still do this. In my testing, running the shell prompt function in the subsitiution shell didnt effect the $? variable.

In my first comment on another thread about shell prompts, I posted my full shellprompt, it is slightly outdated (I just changed hostname to uname -n), if you cant find it feel free to send a message or just ask, and I will send you the code.

I designed this prompt shortly after I switched to Linux, I've been using it for a while, it has a few features like putting the exit code if it isn't 0, changing the hostname color if its detected that you are over ssh, changing the directory color to red if it isn't writeable, changing the prompt color to red if your euid is 0, and instead of printing I have no name! when your user does not have an entry in the passwd file, it will just print your uid in red. I also have a version that I wrote in C that works the same way with a subsitution shell, but it was harder to sync across all my devices when I made a change, so I rewrote it in posix shell that could be synced with just my .bashrc and work almost anywhere.

I don't know how to post a screenshot, sorry for the long paragraph, but here is the source code, feel free to share or do whatever with it!
