It's Java. It shouldn't be that hard for a dev to implement it, for me it takes way too much time which I don't have atm (writing a thesis).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Olywa123:
j0ep0, thanks for sharing this info - again this may help us :)

Just to clarify what we are hoping to do - rather than adding new code to Drivelink to support other apps we want to remove Drivelink altogether from the apk leaving only the protocol(s) that mirror the screen/audio/key inputs - I think we are mostly agreed here this would be the best route and would involve the dev only having to strip out the unnecessary (rather than coding new stuff).

This would give us all the freedom to use it how we each want (there are many 'Drivelink' style apps (i.e. in-car dashboard interfaces with large buttons) on the play store that could then be used with the protocol if one wishes and they support all Nav software as well as other great features. A couple of good ones look to be 'iOnRoad', 'Car Dock Home', 'Car Home Ultra'. I actually contacted the iOnRoad devs to see if they might consider adding Mirrorlink support - they said it's something they are considering and a possibility in the future - I don’t see it happening soon though (might try to ping a couple of the others).

I'm still working on the overall summary post - been doing a bit more research for stuff that might help the developer, found that Mirrorlink uses VNC’s ‘RFB3.8' protocol’ so a VNC experienced Dev would definitely be good.

While searching and reading this evening I came across this video on an Italian site....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSQkvY8IlEA

So this shows that, Sony do have their own Android app for Mirrorlink (seen here running on a Sony phone), the app appears to be called just 'Sony Car' and looks to offer a Drivelink type interface but is also shown to have full phone access - this was uploaded a couple of weeks ago (don't bother searching around for the app - I've spent plenty of time doing that with no luck :().

Sony also have another new android car tech just making it's way to market - this is Bluetooth specific Android integration with other headunits (called 'app remote'), they released the app for this on the play store 31st Aug - while this isn't relative to us (the app/technology has nothing to do with Mirrorlink or the XAV-601BT) the fact that it was released fairly recently shows that the Sony Automotive guys are working on stuff - it could mean we will see a release of their Mirrorlink 'Sony Car' app in the near future maybe.

laxity - as dj said we are focusing on the protocol so it should benefit you for sure - will count you in on the donations (on the understanding it works for your Alpine of course). I also found the latest Drivelink release to be more buggy in connecting and went back to the first release. In case you didn't find the orignal Drivelink app - it's still available here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1874339

Right, its doesnt work through drivelink so maybe this is something we will see incorporated into an upcoming firmware or even an added function to use this app.

Hi guys. I have Samsung s3 and pioneer appradio. I installed custom drivelink app. I have been getting communication error message after few minutes. I tries both r5 and r3 versions. I have stock 4.3 rom rooted with custom recovery.

KitKat update please $$ BOUNTY $$

I have been enjoying the full MirrorLink goodness for a couple of months now and am very grateful that AuRoN89 was able to pull off getting it to work but I am hoping that a Kitkat update will be available sometime in the near future. I have only been able to get it to work with one ROM in particular. I posted the detail some pages back but here is a link in case someone wants to give it a try.

Echoe ROM - http://echoerom.com/roms/echoefull/s4/i9505/

I have yet to try the stock T-Mobile 4.3 Touchwiz ROM yet but assume it would work fine. I have a rooted T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 but was able to get the Echoe international 4.3 Rom to work on my phone. I have tried a dozen other Touchwiz based ROM's, both T-Mobile and international, and non of them seem to work. The Echoe 4.3 ROM (Final Bean) is good but I am craving some KitKat.

I have $50.00 burning a hole in my wallet that I would love to pitch in to get this thing moving. Anyone care to pitch in also? :good:

drgupta1981

What is the stock version? Is it 4.3 or 4.4.2?

I'm not sure drive link work on android 4.4.2, sprint gs3 got the update to 4.4.2 very recently and I have a theory that samsung forgot to test drive link on it. The same app works on my gs4 on android 4.3 but crush on 4.4.2.

But lets get back to your problem:

The original app from samsungapps.com should work on the stock rom. If the problems occurs with stock rom and stock drive link it's not a problem related to the modified app.

I'd try wiping all cache and user data and starting from scratch- installing stock rom and then installing official version of drive link.

If the official app launch and connect to the HU then go on and try removing the official app and install the modified app.

I am kind of a n00b, so if what I tell you is basic and everyone knows this sorry....

but I kept getting the communication error whenever wifi is enabled. Disable wifi to proplerly allow tethering and it may resolve some of the connection/communication issues folks are reporting.

Works fine with my S4 and NSX700.

My only two complaints are that I can't seem to get SiriusXM's app to work (so, it's their app that's the issue), and the biggest is how terrible the screen resolution is. I may have to get an MHL adapter to use it as a nav system because I really can't stand how low res the maps are through Drivelink.

Is there any programming wizardry that could be done to "up" the resolution?

Can anyone verify that drive link is running on that device?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herr_janssen:
I've got a question regarding the resolution.

I'm using Drivelink on a JVC KW-AV61BT, with a Galaxy S3.

When Drivelink is running it seems the resolution is just a tad bit off. As you all know there's a little navigation bar on either the left or right of the screen (mines on the right side) with a back button, home button, info button. And it seems that bar is 'squeezing' the resolution a little bit.

It's not extremely noticeable, only when a small or thin font is on-screen.

I was wondering if anyone else suffered from this small annoyance.

I'm on stock android 4.3, and I've tried different versions of Drivelink and they all give me the same result.

Thanks in advance!

Have you updated the firmware on the Sony head unit? And I am sure you already know if you have 4.4.2 on your Galaxy it wont work period until Official or Developer's drivelink app is reworked. Keep your eye out on: colmoschinxtreme.com/android/item/drivelink and the playstore for the next release of either. The developer's version does not require rooting your phone from what I can see.

[MENTION=5238160]AuRoN89[/MENTION]

I have been enjoying this app for a long time on my Galaxy S4 and then on my Note II. I have since gotten rid of both of those phones and replaced them with the 2014 Note 10.1 I grabbed the latest version of the APK from your link (I had been using an older one) and installed it. Any time I launch Drive Link now I simply get a message saying "Unfortunately, Drive Link has stopped." And whenever I plug the tablet into my head unit I get a popup on my tablet saying "Unfortunately, TMServerApp has stopped."

Is this device not supported, is there a fix for this? I would love to be able to mirror my tablet as it is my only smartphone now. The GPS/Youtube (for music playlists, not watching anything) split screen feature has been awesome for me in the past on the head unit. Thanks in advance!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wjenya:
Ok, after few days of usage here is my 5 cents:

1. Multiwindow helps a lot switching to most applications. For example i was running YaV1 on top of waze and splitting screen with ip camera viewer, watching my baby playing at home or whatsapp feed and running "tune in" in the background which by far most of the thing i need on the move.

2. Tried to find a way to disable tts on start, without success, perhaps it something with google's tts, yet to figure.

3. Tried to replace default music player, however replacing MusicPlayer.apk in /system/app didn't yield nothing. It is very annoying that on start it tries to play some of my audiobook in semirandom pattern. No folder listing which is not convinient. Any advice?

4. NFC Retag helped a lot opening/closing apps (root is required for closing, check labs in nfc retag) with cheap nfc sticker.

5. Toyota Touch2 headunit afaik is of Harman QNX and provides 900mah, which lowers the drain of the device, but not enough to charge it while running drivelink.

6. Tried USB2.0 Hub 4ports from STLabs, it passes the 900mah charge, but DriveLink crashes right on start. The headunit does play from usbdrive if attached (it is mentioned in Toyota manual that it can handle 2 first attached devices). I was trying USB hub in hope that if it does work than i'll go and purchase USB hub with external power through USB male and plug it in to my Ankor 48W to get 1.8A eventually.

Will update and summarize when any info available. Hope it helps. :cool:
