SuperSU Crash

I rooted my Parrot Asteroid Smart via firmaroot, and it worked but at start up I get an error on the screen that SuperSU process has crashed. The root and SuperSU work, but this crash error at every start up is extremely annoying. Has anyone experienced this and know how to fix it?

I tried re-rooting via the firmaroot, but that just made SuperSU disappear altogether. I updated the firmware and re-rooted and SuperSU is back but so is the error.

How do I make screenshots on the PAS`?
[Android General] coreyzw:
Sorry but thats bs. As he said, its too widespread to be "cheap amps". Plus... since I am using the same exact amp turn on voltage, line, etc... and this time not using the PAS to output directly to the sub amp and letting the main amp signal the sub amp... I have NO MORE POPS. So he is correct. The PAS is sending out a spike incorrectly at startup over the subwoofer pre-outs and it blew my original JL 10w3v3. New one hasnt had a single pop (since changing out the source from the PAS to the primary amp) and runs great.

Or you could have just helped the guy out instead of giving a smart ass comment!

I too am struggling to get through this thread where actual working root stuff links are and not those that lead to bad links through all the other unika issues etc are.
[Android General] kronikings:
I'm sorry you took it that way but I wasn't being a smartass. I kinda took what you just said as rude and smart ass. Some people don't know they can do a search for specific words and if that was the case with the other guy I was trying to help. Unfortunately being at work at the time I can't do the research for you or him. I did everything a long time ago, I would run in to the same broken link problems as you. But I did have to root my pas again a few months ago and searching the thread worked for me. Good luck.

[Android General] Justdoit2u:
Have you ever heard of if you can't help then don't comment? My comment to you wasn't being smart ass or rude it was saying exactly what you did! Sorry if that was a little insensitive for you.....

Can anyone else point new users to actual working links of the required APK's or even mount em on here please.

Thank you.
[Android General] kronikings:
You should have taken your own advice by not showing your sensitive side and commenting on my comment that was hopefully helpful to someone else that had nothing to do with you.
[Android General] Justdoit2u:
Well considering I'm in the same boat with this thread I would say it does have something to do with me that your being all smart ass as your comments again seem to prove! Now rather than you drag this thread off topic if you cannot help then just STFU!
[Android General] kronikings:
I was actually in the process of trying to help you but you're an ass. Peace out.
[Android General] Justdoit2u:
If you're looking for asses you don't need to go far and no you weren't in the process of helping either pal!
[Android General] kronikings:
When are you going to STFU? I'm in the process of trying to research and solve your problems for you. Keep being an ass.
[Android General] Justdoit2u:
Now back on topic. Can anyone actually point new owners in the right direction to working links as this thread has grown too old and too long to be easily navigated.

Hey.

I use Swiftkey for all of my Android devices, including the PAS. However, although I set Swiftkey is my default input method, on reboot the PAS reverts back to what appears to be the Japanese IME. My PAS is rooted.

Any ideas?

At the very least it's more links to APK's which may help.

Also, once you're able to sideload apps I recommend installing Blackmart.apk, (Black Market) I can't post it here but you can find it. It's helpful for downloading and installing apps that you can't get from the Play Store.

Here's everything I found on my usb stick that might help you:

I had the same problem. I had to use secure settings to set my input method after every boot. I think I used Llama and secure settings together.

Development environment

Hi folks,

For those that have written software for the PAS, may I ask how you got your development environment working? I'm wondering if people are compiling programs on the PAS itself or instead are using cross-compilers. Any pointers would be appreciated.

My goal is to create a compatible version of joydev.ko for the device but I'm interested in trying to write a few other things too. :)

Spotify ignore or restart

Hi

I have installed Spotify on my Asteroid Smart. Unfortunately when Spotify starts the announcement appears “You need to reboot your products to access all features”. I have two options “ignore” and “reboot”. If I choose "ignore" I can not listen to the music and If I choose "reboot" after reboot Asteroid Spotify plays. Could you tell me how can I iron out this annoying problem?

Asteroid is rooted.

I too returned the App Radio 2 for my my PAS. Bottom line is the AR2, even with ARLiberator, was just weird. Add on top of that the connectivity problems I had (screen constantly flaking out, audio dropping every 15sec, screen going white/snowy, etc). It was just weird to have to have bluetooth/ARL/HDMI all connected before it was functional. I thought it'd be exactly what I wanted, but it wasn't. I'm very happy with my PAS now. I'm very close to having everything I wanted in the AR2 & more. I'm rooted, can run what I want, how I want, what apps I want, etc. I'm still working thru some customization, but I'm very close to having to not pick up my phone at all while driving. Bluetooth tethering works ok (except for Swype beta installer?).

Just wanted to mention that I primarily use pandora for music on the smart, but I found it was sorely lacking bass and the built in equalizer isn't working for pandora (can't hear any difference). So, I installed Equalizer (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.equalizer&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5zbWFydGFuZHJvaWRhcHBzLmVxdWFsaXplciJd), so far so good... I'm just using one of the stock presets, and I turned on the bass booster function. I may try a few other apps before deciding to stick with this one, but the custom presets and auto detection of the full version look enticing...

Do I need a specific version of WAZE?

I found a chrome plugin to download apk's and I have a Google Play account because I had a S3 with android but the version I had is really new compared to the version on the Asteroid. Sorry guys for the noob questions, just not sure how to do this.

There isn't anywhere that one can download the app?

30 secs is acceptable. My previous android radio took 90-120 secs to boot into Android and when you started the engine the radio would reboot.

Adding APN's

First, I bought an unlocked Sierra Wireless 313U to work with the Smart, and am attempting to use it with the Wal-Mart 'Straight-Talk' service (AT&T).

I got the dongle working with my laptop, but plugging it in to the Smart does nothing.

So, I just talked with Parrot's U.S. Tech Support and they told me that we can't add APN's yet despite the 'Custom APN' option.

When you add a name, you're really just looking through the APN's that are already in the list.

Anyone know where the list of APN's is hidden or how to add names to it?
[Android General] iSNin0:
Great info on this thread, definitely the spot i was looking for. I finally decided to pull the trigger on the smart and it has arrived today, will probably install it later in my Lexus iS300.

i see root is available now and play store is too

one question though, is this root reversible?

i want to root my parrot as long as i can always go back to a stock rom in case of warranty issues or whatnot, can anyone PM me with additional info on rooting and un-rooting?

Score, got a buddy to give me an older HTC with Android 2.3.5.

Weird thing is that it's a UK version or something because it insist to login to the "MARKETPLACE" with a google uk account and it won't let me login. Any idea how I can get rid of marketplace and replace it with google play and I assume I'll need to update the phone to 2.3.7 anyway.

Also looks like you guys managed to root this thing to some extend and get the google play on there. Is it possible to just download WAZE directly with that setup?
[Android General] 0space_monkey0:
not reading all this new stuff...

but has anyone noticed that on the google play store accessed in the browser, your Parrot Asteroid smart shows up properly detected. And enables you to send downloads to it. As long as you have installed the framework. no root needed.

just sent over the musixmatch app (that works with spotify) to display lyrics for the songs i play.
[Android General] nickCR:
This is exactly what I'm looking for, a simple way to add apps. Sorry for the retarded noob question, but how do I install the framework? I don't have much knowledge with Android, but can jailbreak and unlock iphones, update blackberries etc. I had a Samsung S3 for a few months but it got stolen so I didn't have a chance to really do anything with it, just saying I have some technical abilities I'm just completely lost when it comes to android. If you could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

PS: The 2.3.5 android device that I was lent was a HTC Chacha which doesn't seem to be easy to update to 2.3.7

Unika +12V Ignition

I'm in a discussion with one of the Unika developers and wanted to get a few more samples.

Has anyone performed a resistive protocol Unika install where the Asteroid was able to power up when the +12V ignition was switched by the Unika (input=red/yellow and output=blue/yellow), or did you have to bypass Unika control of the switched 12V and wire it direct to both the Unika and the Asteroid?
[Android General] sofakng:
I had to bypass the 12v switched.

My car is a 2011 Toyota RAV4 (resistive protocol). Also, the "Src" button on the steering wheel doesn't work (Unika doesn't even flash) but the other buttons work (volume-,volume+, skip+, skip-)...

Has anyone had their Play Store disappear? I tried sending gmail to the smart from the website and when I got in the car the play store icon was gone? I haven't tried to get it back yet, just wondering if anyone else has run into this issue...
[Android General] jedimatt42:
I just installed this weekend into a 2010 Honda Civic. I am running with the +12V ignition/ACC power connector through the Unika red/yellow & blue/yellow.

However, I did have to bypass that initially... Nothing worked until I bypassed the red/yellow & blue/yellow... just left them unplugged. Then the parrot started up, I was able to go into the Smart's settings on the remote controls, and when I enabled it, it flashed an update to the Unika. Then I went back to running the switched +12v through the red/yellow and blue/yellow... I think I read the Unika wants to be on before the Asteroid Smart. Everything worked pretty well after that. From there, the instructions in the Unika for programming the button functions worked just fine.

problem

hi i got one of the asteroid smart fitted yesterday and there a problem the unit starts to flash the screen comes on and of and after a1 min of that the screen switches of complete

but the power light at the bottom left keeps flashing

wiring is correct taken all discounted all cables apart from power still does it

one thing i did try was reset the unit from systems and it stayed on longer

any one help
[Android General] Justdoit2u:
Are you sure you have your ignition and permanent live wires the right way round? Sounds like a classic case of them not being.
[Android General] dav007:
Hi yes the cables are the right way around
[Android General] Justdoit2u:
Have you Rooted the unit yet? If not then if cables are the right way round then I'd suggest the unit could be duff. When the unit is off the power light pulses. Try to see if you can get to do a factory reset within the time before it shuts down, you could even try and reset the unit by hitting the button just above the SD card behind the removable panel ( you have fitted a SD card haven't you? It does seem to need one when you use it for the 1st time as I found out). If you've done all these things then I'd say you're out of options and it's a faulty unit.

[Android General] long_w8:
There is or was a setting in Asteroid Tweaker that attempts to restore your last audio source on startup. So, as long as you had been listening to the iPod when you shut it down, in theory this would start it back up when you restarted the PAS.

I have not tried this feature myself.

I could really use some help here on mine. Did you and LAYGO use an Auto-Pair app to get the SmartRadar paired with the PAS? I've tried pairing it with both of my PAS units and it just hangs at pairing. It pairs fine with my phones so I know that's not the issue.
[Android General] kronikings:
I was having issues too until I paired it using bt auto pair... Sometimes it's still a little finicky when pairing but for the most part no issues
[Android General] the-unknown:
Download frameroot, save it on the sd card.

You can inszall it via the settings menu. Applications, development, install app
[Android General] ronsno:
You don't need to pair the Escort Radar itself, just the Escort Live App. With the unit up and the Escort Live App up and running, press on the Bluetooth icon in the upper right (probably red if not paired). It will then ask you to pair. It's very finicky. I finally installed Bluetooth Auto-Pair and that solved my issue: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brachcon.btautopair&hl=en. Once paired the Bluetooth icon turns blue, that's how you know you have paired.

I don't have an Android phone and couldn't download Escort Live from Google Play so I had to use another app to trick the unit into looking to Google Play to be an Android phone. In that mode I was able to download Escort Live.

With everything up and running, the Escort Radar sends a signal via Bluetooth to Escort Live on your AS, but your AS is not actually paired with the radar just the Escort Live App. Let me know it this helps.
[Android General] horn34:
Thanks, I'll be trying the Bluetooth Auto-Pair app.

Don't take this the wrong way, but what you're saying in the last sentence couldn't possibly be right. The SmartRadar device HAS to be paired with the PAS (or any other android device you're using). That's the only way the Escort Live app can work. The Escort Live app doesn't communicate independently with the SmartRadar, it uses the BT connection, which relies on the SmartRadar device being paired with the android device.
[Android General] ronsno:
What I mean is that your AS won't see the Escort radar, only the Escort Live App.

freedompop freedom stick bolt

Has anyone tried the FP freedom stick bolt on the parrot. I know it is not listed as a supported device, but I am curious if it would work. I saw one thread on another site that stated it did not work. But I am not sure they put much time into it. I know the device needs to be connected to a pc/mac first to be activated. After that I am curious if the device will work with the parrot. It's using sprint as the carrier.

[Android General] horn34:
Do you remember what settings you used with the Bluetooth Autp-Pair app? I bought it and installed it, still not getting paired though. I tried entering 0000 and 1234 in the app as the pair code but neither are working, it just hangs at "Pairing". Did you use any other special settings with the Auto-Pair app, like a specific RF channel, code, etc? Did you enter the whole MAC id for the SmartRadar?
[Android General] LAYGO:
I used one of 2 apps, it took me awhile to get it paired too, but I did NOT do MAC/RF/etc anything special.
[Android General] ronsno:
It's been awhile for me as well. I just have a recollection of it working immediately after I installed Bluetooth Auto-Pair. When I brought up Bluetooth Auto-Pair it saw my PAS. I don't remember putting in any code, but most likely the two you suggested. Once the PAS was paired with Bluetooth Auto-Pair, Escort Live connected easily.
