[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxtypeoxx:
Hey guys im totally new here so excuse me for not understanding everything. I did watch the video when I signed up though :) if that means anything.

So first off I need to know who to send the bounty money too. This app works great on my Sony XAV-701HD and AT&T Galaxy S4 and they need to get paid for their hard work. Im a bit confused though on who to contribute too. On the very first thread on this topic is says this....

Update: here is a link to the newest drivelink apk file. Please modify app so that full mirroring of phone is possible onto the in-dash display along with touch input from display panel.

htp://db.tt/yepFlXWB

So I thought that was the newest modified Drivelink app available. I downloaded the one above and it didnt work. So I started reading toward the end of the 80 page thread and found that there were other modified Drivelink apps like the one in this link colmoschinxtreme.com/android so my question is who do I donate too and which is the correct apk to keep and follow?

By the way the last one from colmoschinxtreme.com/android is the one that works and boy does it work good. Its crazy when you read some reviews on this radio and people say it sucks because the drive link and mirrorlink dont work. Well if they took the time to do some research they would find that this is the absolute best setup available right now if you own a Android phone and can fit a double din radio in your vehicle. Even the new $1,100 Kenwood wi-fi radio cant compete with this $600.00 Sony radio with full mirroring.

Im going to go back and finish reading around page 70 where I left off. Thanks to everyone who put their time and effort into this to make it work. Even Sony couldnt get the damn thing to work correctly. This is just another reason why I dumped my Apple Iphone. Couldnt do anything with it, even after you jailbreak it. This right here is truly amazing work.

One more question, while the phone is plugged in I keep it in the center console of my truck. Come to find out the phone times out and shuts off and then I have to grab the phone and wake it up in order for it to come back up on the screen. I tried to turn off the auto-screen off but the most you can do is 10 minutes. Isnt there a setting somewhere in the phone that will keep the display on whenever it is plugged into power or the usb cable? Also when using the WAZE Navigation program for some reason the voice prompts come thtrough the phone rather than the Sony stereo. I am connected to Bluetooth but it still prompts turns through the phone. Any idea on how to fix this or do I have a setting wrong?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxtypeoxx:
OK Nevermind I figered just about everything out myself except how to keep the phone from timing out and shutting off the display. One guy said he was able to do it with the tasker app which I will try this week when I get time. I just need the Pay Pal account for AuRon to pay the man for his time and effort to make this thing work as good as it does. Someone suggested wait for the Pioneer Appradio 3 to come out. Thats great but dont forget Pioneer will limit you to very little. And after its released it will take months before there is a workaround to get full mirroring. Best bet if you want something NOW that works almost 100% get the JVC or Sony and a Galaxy S4 and be done with it. There will always be something better in the future but how long do you want to wait and how much do you want to spend. At this point I just hope it keeps working and ATT or Samsung doesnt push an update that messes things up. That would be bad. Any way to shut off automatic updates from Samsung and AT&T. I am also rooted as well with stock android S4 and using Nova Launcher.

Thanks everyone for all the time and help and especially AuRon....You the man.

Hi xxtypeoxx. The first post is updated with everything (paypal email too), the newest things are upper, so the "Update: here is a link to the newest drivelink apk file. Please modify app so that full mirroring of phone is possible onto the indash display along with touch input from display panel.

This, is the latest update

If you turn off the screen on your phone it will freeze up since there's nothing to mirror. If you just turned your phone's screen back on it would refresh everything in just a few seconds.

In mirror link the phone's screen stays on the whole time. The alpine freezes the screen during google navigation. The phones screen is just fine. Also the phone loses charge and becomes incredibly hot. I'm finished with mirror link at the moment. I have returned my alpine and purchased another alpine unit. I'll wait on the clarion nx603 or appradio 3. Hdmi is where it's at.

Hello,

I've searched and searched, and wanted to know if anyone has gotten Mirrorlink to work with CM 10.1 or Slimbean on the sg3 (sprint). I tried copying my tmserver 4.1 files over into these roms and change the permissions, but still can't get the app to run.

I cannot get the app to run on both roms.

For Slimbean 4.2 - the drivelink loading page comes up (seems as if it needs to be resized as it only takes up 3/4 of the screen) is not recognized and closes

CM 10.1 - same (no sizing issue)

Hyperdrive rom - no issue

I read earlier in this thread it relates to TMserver. I used the version listed in this thread as well as the one from my stock rom (changed permissions - still did not work).

Not sure what going on, but thanks for helping out

Since you are rooted, try using Screen Standby by NKAHNT. It can keep your phone from timing out and also turn your screen off while keeping the HU display going in order to keep the battery usage down to help from overheating your phone.

Update on Alpine unit

I have been out of the loop for a while. Has there been any progress on getting the Alpine ICS-x7hd to get the short cuts working. I am using AuRon89 version r3.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davindy:
Just wanted to post my results, and thank everyone for all their hard work!

I'm running a stock S4 with a Sony XAV601BT, all I did was install the DriveLink APK posted here and everything just worked....no root, no hacking or trickery, one APK and I was good to go.....I'm using tasker and Screen Standby #Root for keeping my screen active on my head unit but off on my phone. Everything works like a charm, every time and works well!

I should mention that I came from a Pioneer AppRadio with the ARLiberator on my phone which worked well....when it worked, but it was very flakey, most of the time I hooked up my phone it would take 5 minutes of messing with settings to get it working right. While the AppRadio looked sharper, and was a bit more responsive when using the UI on your dash, DriveLink works 1000 times better and the video quality difference isn't that noticeable.....

Thanks again for everyones hard work!

Who can I donate to for this solution..?

I just installed the 601BT as well in my Scion xB Same issue with the sides being wide open but not the top and bottom and having to cut the plastic piece to fit when I installed it.

I'm just now reading through this thread to see if I can get my HTC Amaze ICS (root) phone to work with drivelink and I'm only on page 17. So going to be a while of reading before I have a solution I fear. But I had to stop and say AWESOME TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOBS!!! I'm going to search the web for them, very cool!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HunterNIU:
Okay, I was finally able to read through all 85 pages today.

I have downloaded the r3 apk from a link a couple pages back because (as stated in that post) the main link on page one is down.

Drive link opens on the phone and seems to run navigation and music and such just fine; however, when I go to add a shortcut of any kind other than a contact, the app crashes. (Example, I wanted to add a shortcut for my Mileage Tracker and when I clicked "+Add" then clicked "More apps" it crashed and said, "Unfortunately, Drive Link has stopped."

I kind of expected this because I'm using a T-Mobile HTC Amaze 4G with Rooted but Stock ROM Android 4.0.3 and HTC Sense 3.6

I can only afford to donate $20, so my questions for [MENTION=5238160]AuRoN89[/MENTION] are the following:

1. Is there any way to get this working on my phone as is? Does this have something to do with the fact that I don't have a TMServerApp.apk installed? I found one in this thread, but from reading through they are phone specific? If at all possible I would love this to work on my phone the way it is now.

2. If 1. above isn't possible, would installing a custom rom of some sort to my phone fix the issue. Like say I found a JB rom or CM or Synergy ROM somewhere on XDA that worked on my phone and installed that instead of the stock ROM. Do you think it would magically work on my phone then, or is it an issue with my actual hardware not being compatible with your apk?

Sorry for noob issues, tried to do all the reading I could, took 3 hours to make it through this whole thread. Thanks in advance!

Pioneer appradio 3

I am writing to let you guys know that if you have been thinking about pulling the trigger on the appradio 3. Do it and do it now! Mirror link is flawless on the appradio 3. Supports full mirroring also, I was looking at the weather radar app earlier! Also my galaxy s3 connects flawlessly thru pioneers appradio and Bluetooth. There are a decent amount of apps right now. I am so happy with this unit! Good luck everyone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zamboniman87:
Did you use the updated link on the first page? How do you modify the apk to allow all apps? Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davindy:
As I mentioned in my post, all I did was grab the modified DriveLink APK (on the first page) and that was it....nothing else was required.

Everything works as expected...

I would be interested in hearing about other people's Tasker recipes though....you can waste a lot of time trying to setup/tweaking your Tasker triggers...

If you are on a stock S4 then you shouldn't need to do anything other than install the APK on the first page.....hope it helps!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zamboniman87:
Hmm ok. That's exactly what I did on my stock s4. Drivelink works, but I'm limited to the stock music, navigation, etc.

The first post says to modify the newest version of drivelink provided, so I took that as some modification we must make.

I'm using a stock rooted s4 with an alpine ics-x7hd.

---------- Post added at 01:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 PM ----------

Also, like you, I came from an AppRadio 2. When it worked, it was great. But it was too frustrating most of the time for it to be convenient.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davindy:
I personally preferred the AppRadio screen mirroring (on an AppRadio2) better than I do the MirrorLink, but the difference is so small it's not even an issue for me. However, what I can tell you and I know this hasn't changed between AppRadio 2 and 3, is that the Pioneer AppRadio sounds terrible...the sound quality it produced was no better than my stock radio. Other than the fancy features, the stereo sucks! For me if my music sounds bad I could care less what features my head unit has, sound quality was my first requirement, mirroring was second and the Sony unit I bought sounds AMAZING compared to the AppRadio. I would avoid the AppRadio it's just not worth the money. Spend a $100 more and buy something you'll love! It took me 5 head units to get to the Sony, I'm not sure why I avoided it the first few times but I couldn't be happier with my final choice....

Just my 2 cents....

---------- Post added at 01:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 PM ----------

Don't quote me on this but, I thought I read somewhere that this wasn't currently working with Alpine units?

I may be wrong, or maybe it was a specific Alpine head unit, but I do remember reading that somewhere...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HunterNIU:
Reading through this entire thread yesterday I saw 4 or 5 folks that can't get it to work with Alpine, and it is a known issue the dev is still looking into whether he can fix it in the apk, or whether it's the head unit that's the problem and thus he can't fix it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 787tech:
Actually the sound quality of the appradio 3 is quite spectacular. It sounds just as good as my old alpine icsx7hd. I tried and tried with that alpine. I even hooked up an ipod to get it to play video or aha radio. Guess what it did neither. Really the only thing the alpine had going for it was looks and sound quality. It just doesn't work. This appradio 3 does mirror link or app link, pick your poison. Another thing people are whining about the cost of extra cables. You do not have to buy pioneers proprietary cables. Most of the cables needed should be laying around your house somewhere.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zamboniman87:
Interesting. The ics-x7hd isn't that old. It's also what I just upgraded to from AppRadio 2. Using ARLiberator, I would get snow on the screen constantly, even using genuine samsung cables. I'll admit, when it worked it was sweet and more smooth than mirrorlink, but it was frustrating. I heard this was mostly a Samsung issue, so I was wary about replacing it with AppRadio 3.

I like the alpine interface so much more. Alot more customization. No stupid warning nag screens every time you start the car. HD radio. Bluetooth streaming (which I'm aware AppRadio 3 now has... Finally.) just preference I guess.

Fwiw I've also had trouble with pioneer head units. My last 4 of them...

---------- Post added at 07:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 PM ----------

That is a possibility. I'm surprised there isn't a third party app with mirrorlink functionality.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HunterNIU:
I wish there were. I'd love for mine to work on the HTC at the moment. It's really the only reason I bought this particular head unit in the first place.

mhl on NSX1

Can anyone comment if there is MHL support on the KW-NSX1? It is listed for the NSX600 and NSX700 but not explicitly for the NSX1. I would have to believe it supports it as MirrorLink works.

Trying to decide if I want the NSX1 for $300 shipped, or the NSX600 for $450+ shipped.

The NSX1 has a detachable faceplate, has bluetooth 2.0, and has an external Smartphone Adapter box.

The NSX600 does NOT have a detachable faceplate, has bluetooth 2.1+, has an internal Smartphone Adapter, and explicit MHL support.

Anyone have experience with both units?

EDIT:

It appears the MHL support on the NSX600 is just to "mirror" the phones display without any interaction abilities. I guess this could be useful to use the headunit as a external display. Might be a little less wonky/quicker to display the phones display this way vs. syncing it with mirror link.
