[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pv_insight:
I have a non rooted stock s4 connected to a JVC NSX1. I have been using Full Mirroring since just before the developer switched sites. I am just wondering what everybody else's capabilities, functions exactly are? Here is my process to start FM:

1) Turn car on (stereo on)

2) Turn phone on and must unlock phone using screen lock code

3) Connect usb cable to stereo

4)S4 will then auto load Full Mirror app and stereo shows ordinary Drive link interface showing Welcome, it is sunny today (whatever it says)

5) I then clear all start up stuff on stereo and then it shows the standard three panel interface Music, Location, Phone

6) I then must press the physical HOME key on my s4 to get full mirror (I need to also press this button whenever switching from standard stereo Drivelink or Audio Screens to S4 Full Mirror) Is this normal?

Here are some other issues:

Issue1: I can't save any shortcuts on the standard Drivelink interface, the app force closes (not sure if even useable, but just remember the developer somehow having google chrome somehow in his video?)

Issue2: I seem to have some major video lag between the devices (s4 responds fast, but stereo screen delayed) movies not possible on FM

Issue3: Bluetooth audio somewhat not working (can use phone just fine but music will not show at all or play (may not be related)

THANK YOU AHEAD OF TIME TO ALL THOSE WHO CAN HELP!!! A SPECIAL THANKS TO THE DEVELOPER AS WELL!!!!

I don't know about Jvc. on my alpine the head unit locks up when I get an update or add some new app while in drive link. a phone reboot didn't change this. pushing reset on face of head unit didn't work. What worked general setup scroll down to about. their press reset. Head unit downloads new phone setting drivelink work's again without head unit or app crashing. ICS-X7HD

look at my post #995, maybe you have some similar problem like i had...

(backup all your (non-systen) apps with titanium backup, then freeze them all so they are unavailable, then try it again to add a shortcut)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwfos22:
I'm having some of the same issues with my Pioneer Appradio3. I'm having the same problem as you with issue #3 don't know why.

Also once I'm in mirror link mode I keep getting a damn pointing hand with a red x on my headuint. All touch on my headunit screen doesn't work

Don't know why & can't find a solution to this problem.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rizwalla:
ok, it is definitely related to the usb tethering option as I connected this morning with it already on (using fast wi-fi tether app), I had no problems with everything while it was active.

what do you mean with standard drive link?? Theboriginal by samsung? If yes its normal. You can't save shortcuts while connected on standard drive link

folks, i've now read through all this posts, but i cant find an answer if there is ANY possiblity to get this working on my Galaxy Nexus... (together with my XAV601BT)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mykeli9s0:
Few issues

I have AP3 also and had the same issue but i was able to figure out the mirrorlink issue where you see the phone screen and when you try to navigate it give you the pointing hand and the red X. you have to look at your installation manual, you will see how to connect and use mirrorlink. it only require one cable, it does not require HDMI or MHL adapter. in my case i have a Note 2 and i was using SAM MHL it works to get to the app mode but not mirrorlink. what you need to do is get your cable wire for your phone that can sync and charge. plugged it to the USB outlet at the back, dont use the HDMI and wait for the mirror link icon on the main screen to shows up! and also make sure you have the drive link app installed for it will auto launch the app.

only few issue i recognized with the drivelink is the video lag, not sure if its bcoz its use the regular USB port not the HMDI or the app can't handle the video resolution? also on the navigation page the "nearby" function, the map will not load. also the i wish there is a option to turn the phone screen while its pluged it to the deck so that, the device wont heatup to much. other than that i'm happy with drivelink.. :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwfos22:
Yes I'm using the MHL set up. Wonder why it won't work that way? So yoir saying just hook it up without the MHL box & it will work. This is some BS as I've spent $70 one MHL Kit & 5pin to 11pin adapter. I thought the MHL set up was dor your Appradio to receive data & allow your phone to charge at the same time?

So I called Pioneer to get some info on Mirror Link and why I keep getting the hand with the red X. Pioneer said that you don't have touch screen ability in Mirror link mode only in Appradio Mode. He said mirror link is just used to mirror your phone (Duh I Knew This), but you still have to use your phone to control it.( Oh I didn't know this) So this modded Drive Link app gives me full touch screen on my HU correct with out having to touch my phone?

Hello,

I tried with many ROM, deoxed and root to find the solution for the mirror.

Unfortunately, it seems that the TMServer.apk cannot be installed on the GNex.

Does any of you tried with a Samsung Galaxy S4 mini (i9195) ?

Thanks for the feedback

Sorry for the confusion. I have full mirror installed, but when I click on shortcuts on the interface with the three options Music, Location and Phone, I can add the standard shortcuts but full mirror force closes when I try to add any android phone apps.

I was wanting to add shortcuts so I can switch to my android home screen and the stereo source home screen more easily. I am not sure what others do, because I must always hit the physical home button on my s4 or the source button on the headunit.

---------- Post added at 11:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 AM ----------

I have tried multiple things. I was wanting to stream youtube videos but they are very choppy on the headunit but smooth on the s4. Saved videos on my s4 also do the same. Audio is great though. Also tried resetting the unit, a little different than the alpine.

---------- Post added at 11:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 AM ----------

I looked at your post #995 and it seems like your app SMS Backup was causing problems. How did you find the app causing the problem? I would try titanium backup except I am not rooted yet.

It may be time to root. Anyone have a easy to follow thread for ATT s4 to get root? I was scared of the triangle issue and if triangle away would solve it!

---------- Post added at 12:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

And to give back to all using the FM drivelink app, here is my setup for the best results yet. I have the s4 with the JVC NSX1.

1)To display your home screen from your phone with icons on the headunit use nova launcher. I set it up with the drivelink shortcut in the bottom shortcut bar for easy transitiions to headunit audio source screen.

2) Use tasker with settings set for when the Drivelink app is loaded. I dimmed the screen as low as it would go, set screen timeout to never. This saved the phone from getting hot and the battery drained.

3) Install Poweramp to play the audio/ video stored on your phone, plus it will give you a cool graphic equalizer like a standard stereo has.

4) Buy a OBD2 bluetooth adapter (Amazons BAFX is the best and great customer support) and download car gauge pro (a great app and the only one that would work with my honda insight)

5) Install radar express for the best in motion weather app.

6) Install paperland pro for a cool background screen for the headunit.

7) Finally, add a cheap presenter mouse bluetoothed to your phone to switch between phone and stereo (want to mold it to my shifter)

Some of these ideas I found on this thread, so I give credit to those who helped!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mykeli9s0:
if you read the description of mirrorlink it tells you that you can view the screen to unit and control specific apps. not sure if the rep is giving you BS info. but yeah. HMDI and MHL adpter let you access the appradio mode which let you launch the pioneer appradio app. you will see on the main screen, on the appmode icon will have the android robot. if you use only the USB cord, and launch the drivelink you will see the icon the main screen changed to mirrorlinlk which you can select and bring the drivelink up to your screen. and it also charge your phone at the same time. the only downside is the video play is laggy and it keeps you phone screen on all the time and that make you phone very hot. i also have the MHL adaptor from pioneer which i still have connected for my wife phone to charge or if i want to play movie without lag. by the way you cant plug to device at the same time.. one device at a time. hope that helps you...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sailor1173:
The reason I was hoping that the S4 and Alpine works was because of the OBD apps.

Unfortunately, my phone remains unrooted and is with the stock ROM from the Telco..... cos have zero knowledge on how to root it, fear that installing other ROM or Firmware will erase all my settings and apps that I had installed, and absolutely clueless what deoxed rom is all about and how to do it..... I know I can backup/restore all these but tried a few backup and restore and it fails miserably......basically, I'm technically handicapped. Hahaha.

Just hope one day when I wake up, AuRoN would be able to find a fix to enable Alpine and S4 to work flawlessly without all these mambo-jumbo.... Hahahaha :D

Hello,

I'm actually trying to make it work on the S4 mini.

So, change the rights in system/app

Copy the TMServer.apk

Odex it with SystemCleanup (free on Market)

Reboot

Install DriveLink 1.1.028R5

Launch it and connect the phone

The phone connect to the Alpine without saying: USB devices not supported. DriveLink work fine on the phone, but a message come: TMServer has stopped :(

I'm root and odexed => no custom rom now for the i9195.

Does any have an idea how to make it work?

Anyway, I'm thinking to port the S4 Google Edition for the S4 mini. I never create or port a rom, so advice will be more than helpful.

Keep you in touch guys

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milleda31:
Hello,

I have been watching this thread with interest. I have the Alpine ICS-X7HD installed in my vehicle with TR7 bypass enabled.

I also have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 2 rooted and running stock ROM. I have tried to install DEODEXED rom's to include Jellybeans 20, ACE 5.0, and Jellybean's stock DEODEXED. All of the rom's install fine but I lose internet connectivity. Calls, messages and WI-FI all function normally but I get no internet unless I am on WI-FI.

I have used the modified DriveLink with limited success. Functions just the same as the stock DriveLink, but, without the ability to add other apps. I realize I need to be DEODEXED, but the connectivity issue kills it for me.

Hoping someone may have a suggestion for me.

Thanks in advance and I appreciate the development occurring.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kan-g:
Thanks for the reply.

I wouldn't say the S4 mini (i9195) works, coz I can't have the mirror on the Alpine :(

But, the phone is recognized by the Alpine or doesn't show the USB, so it doesn't sound bad.

So, to try to give [MENTION=5238160]AuRoN89[/MENTION] the best answer, I have to say:

When I connect the phone to the Alpine (with or without an iPod connected) here are the state on both devices:

Phone: DriveLink start automatic, create the usb tethering and show all the official part of the application nor the soft opened from the short-cut created (Chrome and TouchDown)

Alpine: react normally without error message and without MirrorLink active

The TMServer stop after around 15 seconds : nothing special on the Alpine - the DriveLink continue to work on the phone
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AuRoN89:
if you cannot run personalized shortcuts this mean that TMServerApp.apk wasn't replaced. try replace it, and see if you can run the shortcuts.

regards the crash, it could be a lot of things, the best thing you can do its run and record a logger till the app crash, and then, send it to me :)

Full mirroring is working great with the r5 release from the website in the first post. Many thanks!

Now to figure out how to get mirrorlink to remain operational while utilizing another function of the headunit, such as my SiriusXM. I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to be able to use waze for mapping, while listening to my SiriusXM and not streaming it from the phone.

Thanks again!

Full mirror Alpine ICS-X7HD and Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Thanks for everyone's efforts.

I now have full mirroring on Alpine ICS-X7HD using information found in this thread.

I had limited time to test today but Youtube and Yahoo Messenger were working fine on head unit. Will test other shortcuts later but can't see any reason why they won't work.

My steps on the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 rooted with stock Verizon ROM.

1. Using ESFileExplorer I made backup copies of system/app/TMServer.apk and TMServerApp.odex onto my external SD card.

2. Deleted the system/app/TMServerApp.apk and TMServerApp.odex files from system/app

3. Copied Auron's TMServerApp.apk into system/app

4. Made an ODEX file of TMServerApp.apk using systemcleanup from Google Playstore. TMServerApp.odex was created in the system/app folder.

5. Installed Auron's modified Drive Link app r5

6. Enjoyed full mirror on my Alpine!

Much credit to all who have worked on this (Auron, K'ang, laxity, and others)

My donation is on it's way.

how do we add apps to the side bar? and is there a way to change default music app?

PS I'm running SGS3 4.1.2 Rooted!! I had CM10 but it doesn't work with this app!! ;(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AuRoN89:
You cannot add apps to the sidebar, it's a app "variable" that make it appear or not appear in the sidebar. you should modify all apps to let it appear on it.

If lot of you are interested in this, i can easily add Drive Link to the sidebar, and let it support multiwindow.

Change the default music app is not possibile (by you), but there no reason to do that.

Drive link music app is perfect for a in-car use because it's very very simple and accessibile. (IMHO)

someone managed to run Drive Link on CM10 if i remember correctly was during the initial release of my mods. (r1 and r2)

any know what could be the reason why do i get lost connection when i use mirrorlink while navigating for 5min? i tried different troubleshooting and im unsuccessful.

navigating using Google navigation stays for 5min and get a error lost connetion. (cable used regular USB to MICRO usb 11pin)

tried different cable, Samsung note 2 OEM cable, disconnect every 1min.

tried playing music in the background and navigate and it stays for 45min. (cable used regular USB to MICRO usb 11pin).

Landscape vs profile question. I have an app that does NOT display in landscape mode (just doesnt have lanscape). Songza. I think that drivelink ONLY is able to mirror your screen if the window you are looking at has a landscape option (makes sense as thats what a headunit screen looks like). Is it fair to assume that there is no way to force this to display? If you have a chance try getting songza to mirror or any other profile view only app. I would like to see if others have this problem. I would like to use songza in my car and control it from the headunit mirror with drivelink.
