[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laxity:
Unfortunately it doesn't work with my Alpine ICS-X8. :( When starting a non-standard application (i.e. not one of Samsung officially supported apps) the Alpine headunit returns to its input menu screen where you can select USB, Radio, MirrorLink (still active and not greyed out), etc. The phone screen is showing the application I started but if I tap the Mirrorlink app on the Alpine headunit, the app closes on the phone and force returns to the DriveLink app showing on both the phone and headunit.

Any idea what's going on here? The standard Samsung whitelisted apps work fine, e.g. TomTom etc.

Many thanks for your hard work so far on this.

Big thanks for the great mod. Seems to work great without any FC. And I don't 've to start the app first to see my shortcuts. Just connect it

with my JVC KW-NSX1- Unit and I see all my shortcuts. Navigon also works.

Working with XAV-701HD. At first it was working then would kind of pause and I kept taping on the screen then DriveLink crashed and wouldn't connect. Force closed the app and cleared data. It it working pretty damn well, still kind of freezes but I just give it a few sec and it's good to go again. My fave feature is to be able to Have navigaton open and be able to just right of to music player to change music then right back to navigation. If it were at all possible it would be cool to have the Music shortcut on the main screen be able to go strait to the music player of choice rather than the drivelink music player. Other than being able to change that and the random freezes it's perfect. Makes MirrorLink and much for fun feature to have now. Kick ass job!

Are you able to watch a DVD while driving? If not then maybe have the Parking brake wire connected correctly has something to do with it?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AuRoN89:
This is "Standard" for every car unit.

When the handbrake isn't inserted everything that could distract you from driving is disabled.

There is a workaround for that. You should take the handbrake-status wire and connect it on car unit GND (ground) wire. This work with 99% of the car unit. If it's not work you need to connect the wire a positive instead of the GND (negative) wire.

Keep in mind that doing such thing isn't legal.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prenand:
I know but I didnt know that drivelink also got that security thing. Can we turn it off? Drivelink is working perfectly while driving except the extern apps so it has to do with drivelink.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AuRoN89:
yeah, the car unit send vehicle status to the drive link application. i already found the code that do this and i can modify the application to fake the vehicle status.. but i can't test this on my car because i did the trick described in my previous post >_>

That would be nice. I would test it for you ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cell128:
They sell a bypass kit in eBay. I have it but I never got to install it. It took me about 3 minutes to fold some paper into a little square and stick it where my pedal meets the sensor so when the brake is not set it is still showing as set. It works perfect until I can get the kit installed so the parking brake light doesn't show while I'm driving. Also would be great if we could get the screen to turn off while mirroring so the phone charges. While in drive link mode the phone charges only at USB rate and if your running let's say navigation it will probably not charge at all or will actually lose some charge.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XXtremeAzzKicker:
It a super easy and quick fix....just pull the deck out and I believe the purple wire is the hand brake detect wire. Just splice it in with the black ground wire from your deck. No kit needed. The bypass kits you get online are more for decks like alpine that needs a few sensing wires. Sony, pioneer and most of the rest just need to connect it to a ground.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cell128:
@ XXtremeAzzkicker

Will try this tomorrow hopefully it works.

Edit: I looked at the green wire that was rigged to my parking brake from best buy and I clipped and grounded it. I didn't even have to pull the unit. Thanks for letting me know this!! It works great now

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelviper007:
I've been a long time reader of this forum but a seldom poster. Doing a google search brought me to this thread and my eyes lit up when I read the Samsung drive link app had been hacked successfully to work with any android app.

I immediately installed it on my phone (Galaxy S4). Whilst the Drive link app loads and I can view it on my head unit (Alpine ICS-8), any shortcuts I select just closes the app on the head unit. The phone however shows the app that I launched.

Is there anything I'm missing?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AuRoN89:
You are second guy with the alpine ICS-8 with the same problem.

I think that the unit has something hardcoded which prevent the launch of unknown signed apps or something like that.

Try these steps:

Instead of load the shortcuts, double tap the home button, open the task manager, and press the back button, you should see the home screen (if it support landscape view, otherwise you will see a black screen on the car unit) open any other app from the home screen... what happen?

Samsung GT-I9100 and DriveLink

Hi Guys,

Really stoked that all this is now working with the Sony HU. I however am stuck with my Galaxy S2 until August. I really would appreciate if some can maybe help me figure out how to get the TMServer framework and Drivelink application working on the SGS2. I am not at all experienced in firmware modification and I did try pull the framework out of the SGS3 mini and load it into my SGS2... this however gave me major problems with the phone and I could not make calls without the Drivelink app trying to start up and then FCing.

I am thinking that there is some complications with having the Samsung VOICE thing and its framework conflicting with the TMServer framework.

I am happy to install a custom ROM if it means I can have the TMServer framework and DriveLink app working.

Has anyone got the framework and app working on CM10 or 10.1, I ask this because the CM roms do not have the Samsung VOICE program that runs when you dock the phone in the car dock. Thus the conflict should not longer be there.

I have tried emailing Samsung Drivelink developer team and did not even get a response from them. I even tried raising the question on Samsung developers forum and no one is even interested in responding to the questions.

It is so frustrating that I ordered the unit having seen the demonstrations on the SGS2 and then they released statements that it was now only supported by S3, Note II and some other devices. I mean even the S3 mini supports it. How hard could it be for Samsung to just include the framework into the Jelly Bean roms for the S2.

Regards

Not sure what you mean by "double tap the home button" as that brings up Svoice on my Galaxy S3. I have to hold the home button to get the task manager but that doesn't work either.

The first video below shows the DriveLink hacked version not working on my Alpine ICS-X8 :

cell128 brought me back to this thread. I had no idea anyone was still even trying to get drivelink working. I know I gave up sometime ago. My original bounty was for DriveLink to work with Cyanogenmod, however, and it seems j0ep0 hasn't popped in this thread for sometime. I recall some progress in getting TMserverapp and the Touchwiz framework injected from this post.

However, that doesn't seem to work for CM10.1 now. The modded full mirroring DriveLink app opens up just fine on my CM10.1 rom, but the headunit doesn't recognize the phone when I plug it in. Anyone willing to take a crack of getting TMserver up and running on CM10.1 again? I'll donate to both the modded APK author and whoever gets CM10.1 compatible. I just refuse to go back to a stock rom anymore... they're awful.

Hi cell128,

I am running 4.1.2 (I9100XWLSS_I9100OXXLS9_DNF) with Philz latest kernel.

I will try your method and see if that works. I will copy it there through root explorer and see if that helps.

So DriveLink does not even open on the phone. Does not even FC... Just makes my phone reboot.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cell128:
Sorry to hear that. There must be something else different on galaxy s2 vs GS3.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texan_ranger:
Yip... must be
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0ep0:
If I remember correct, thats more due to TMServer.apk not starting (or stay running) on CM10.1. Running DriveLink requires a compatible kernel (with car mode/usb audio), a running TMServer.apk including some TouchWhiz libraries and the Carlink app itself. The initiative walkeryan started sounded like a good idea, but we had issues decompiling the apps. I'm not a programmer so I couldn't contribute much when starting from clean code and walkeryan had some private stuff to do.

The thing I did with the DriveLink app was diabling the Activity monitor part, method is mentioned below. The more recent DriveLink apps where programmed differenlty which takes me too much time to dig trough with a good chance of not being able to mod it at all. Another possible route would be to get te Sony Car mode app working on Samsung / CM10. I don't have much time these days, but if you need me, drop me an e-mail. Please no requests/support questions.

Also big thanks for the people who donated!

I didn't even know Sony had pushed out an update. I will update my 601 today. Hopefully it doesn't break our drivelink. I'm still waiting for Sony to make Pandora play in Bluetooth as default instead of USB for iPhone. At least give us the option!! After a day with full mirroring I must say I still went back to just playing my music over Bluetooth. Steering wheel controls to skip songs is. A must for me. Or if nova launcher had a multitasking button like nexus line so I won't have to quit navigation just to skip a song. I will still use full mirroring when driving to places I don't know though.

Are you using TomTom Western Europe?

Also does TomTom crash when running it from the "official samsung" (non-hacked) 1.1.028 version of Drive Link?

If so, did it work previously?

Does it crash launching from Drive Link when NOT in mirrorlink mode?

The reason I ask is that TomTom Western Europe worked fine for me with the official 1.1.028 Drive Link, but I've noticed its stopped working now regardless of whether I am using mirrorlink to a headunit or without. Either this was due to a recent TomTom update that I installed for Western Europe OR this hacked version of DriveLink has altered something on the phone preventing the stock version from working.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinzvidz:
XAV-701BT (similar to the 701HD in the US). The update was good in a way that it offers the option for full screen MirrorLink, and the "Playing Now" button from the home screen, plus a couple of other things.

Lucky I don't have to worry about that. :)

Just one little bug we've picked up on. My missus set up the modifed DriveLink yesterday to navigate to an address, and use the Google music app, but when she reversed out the driveway, with the reverse camera kicking in, the head unit crashed. It popped up an Android app error along the lines of "revcam.exe" or something like that having stopped. After a reboot, all good for the rest of the trip.

Just figured it still had bugs in it. But nobody else seemed.to have my problems. The USB port I was using was a extention/surface mount I bought off amazon then it plugs into the deck. So I went outside and tried it with the the one in my glove box that goes directly to the deck, and it works great. Response is smoother and zero problems. Now this app really rocks.
