[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meiguy:
Got mine to work today!! It's pretty sweet. Thanks for all the help here.

Im using a rooted S3 running 4.3 on a Sony XAV-701HD. Not sure if it mattered but I have the parking brake bypass. I followed the first 4 steps at ww.colmoschinxtreme (Sorry couldn't post full link) and it worked right away. The only added step was making a backup copy of TMServerApp.odex in addition to TMServerApp.apk as some did here. I didn't have to modify either app just copied both to the phone and installed the drivelink app. Works great!

Thanks again

Finally got it to work!!

After a few days of beating my head against the dashboard I finally got my JVC KW-NSX700 to play nicely with my rooted T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S4. I had no luck with any ASOP or Cynogenmod ROMS. I also tried a few stock Touchwiz ROMs but I kept having the same problem of not being able to connect. It occurred to me that the problem might be the T-mobile ROMS in general so I tried a ROM made for the international S4 (i9505) since both phone share the exact same hardware as far as I know. I was able to install this ROM http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319200987 and then installed the modded Drivelink app. I also copied the TMserverapp.apk to system/app and made a odex file using System Cleanup as described in this thread. Now everything is working as it should. I plan on experimenting with a few more ROMs to see if I am right but I am just happy to have the Mirrorlink option working. I was so close to sending the JVC back to Crutchfield and trying another brand.

My two main suggestions / requests for Drivelink so far are:

1. The ability to have the phone screen shut off but the head unit screen to remain on.

2. The ability to advance songs in Pandora, etc with my steering wheel controls while I have Google Maps on the screen. Currently I have to have the Pandora screen up in order to advance songs with my steering wheel controls.

Thanks to everyone here and especially the developer for helping me get my system to work. Its a bummer you have to practically be a computer hacker to get a system to work properly. They sure make it look easy on the websites.

Does this work with the Note 3 (without retailer modification or software) running 4.3? The base app doesn't seem to. I have an alpine ICS-X7 I and would very much like it to work...

If no-one does know, can anyone think of any good reason I shouldn't give it a shot? I honestly don't know that I care much about full mirroring. But I want the damn thing to work.

Digging back in the thread, it seems it might simply be incompatible with 4.3? Any hope of any update?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fletch1999:
Great app! It works wonderfully for my wife and I on our S4's with a JVC KW-NSX700.

Our only request to the dev would be an option to mute the voice at start-up, so we don't have to hear the weather and number of upcoming events read to us.

In addition, it would also be nice if we had options on what was shown to us at start-up. Currently the app shows the weather/number of events, then the time of the first event, followed by a request to continue the last song played, before showing the current weather. It would be nice to be able to disable any or all of these prompts.

Dear All,

I really am struggling to get Drivelink to work on my Note 2 Stock 4.3. In fact, I would love nothing more than to spend an hour in a room with those so called Samsung App developers!

I've tried rooting my phone and followed the in instructions, I think (!!!) and still the shortcuts are greyed out! And then after reading nearly every post on the net relating to Drivelink I came across this video!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottavfc:
Hi. I have the same head unit and had this problem. It turned out I had missed out a whole wiring loom from the mirrorlink unit. You should have a cable from the mirrorlink unit that has a white connector withmultiple wires coming off of it. This is in addition to the thick black cable that goes to the unit. The mirrorljnk box has its own power supply cable and earth within that white connector cable. Make sure you download the new firmware to the box ia the sd card

SHV E330S drivelink crashes with Kitkat

I just updated to 4.4.2 official rom. Now drivelink never worked with my phone, but with the android update mirrorlink now launches automatically when I connect to XAV 601BT (mirrorlink is now bundled with the OS) . I get the handshake flashing circle of dots before it crashes and asks me to re-establish phone connection.

Drivelink app crashes with the new OS, but I see a glimmer of home since me head-unit atleast attempts to connect. Any clue how to get it to work?, and is there a working version of drivelink for 4.4.2?.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KSauzeRK:
Sorry I've note read the whole thread, but I did search it and found that the app is not compatible with my phone (galaxy note N7000). Apparently putting the tmserver.apk and drivelink as system apps doesn't work, so I guess it's either :

1 - tmserver.apk or drivelink relies on other apps / services which are found only on supported device

2 - the phone transmits it's identity to the car audio and is not matched to the list of supported device there

Anyway, I know it's not the N7000 forum, but I wondered if anyone had made progress on adapting drivelink to originally unsupported device...If not I may start a bounty on the N7000 forum.

Running Adroid 4.3 on a Samsung S4, Sony XAV-601BT with most recent version of firmware.

It works. When I first connect it may say "USB Device not recognized", but I simply unlug the phone and plug it back in and start Drivelink (mirrorlink) on the phone. I takes a couple of seconds and it will boot right up. Using the version of Drivelink from this forum and phone is in Developer mode and set to "USB Debugging".

I can pretty much do everything off the stereo... email, facebook... you get the idea, whatever your phone can do.

SG2 point of view

This clip was made a few years ago and the APK for the SG2 was manually coded by Samsung for Sony developers.

So there is no APK for SG2 :(

Samsung will not release a DriveLink for SG2 because they want us to buy newer smartphone :mad:

Maybe now after MirrorLink released the API someone will accept the challenge and do something. :angel:

Hi!

Yes, I tested the Galaxy S4.

Android 4.3 worked fine with all apks, Android 4.4.2 only accepts the unmodified apk from Samsung, due to the missing read-write rights on the external sd-card that came with the firmware-update.

The app crashes immediately after touching the app-logo and even without starting it (e.g. when dialing WITHOUT being connected to the headunit).

I'm stuck at "USB device not supported" when I try to connect to my sony xav-601bt(latest firmware). I've read through about 70 pages of this thread but still can't figure out what is wrong.

I have a Virgin Mobile S3 (l710) on a 4.3 touchwiz based ROM(rooted and de-odexed).

I have flashed TMServerApp, made an odex file, made sure they were both WR, and installed modded version of drive link.

I've launched the app before plugging it in, made sure it was in usb debug mode as well.

I've heard that this error is most common when TMServerApp.apk is not installed correctly.
