[Android General] Pig Vomit:
FINALLY got my AVH-4000NEX up and running with my Nexus 5 and a Slimport (instead of MHL for most people) adapter today. Haven't had too much time to screw around with it.

The primary reason for me to have this setup was to be able to mirror Google Maps / Navigation from my phone to my head unit. It does this perfectly. Pinch and zoom and everything else seems to work there. Maybe a little problem clicking on the "x" to close Waze popups (like for traffic accidents), but haven't had too much time on it. That having been said.....if my phone isn't on its side in landscape mode, and it's straight up and down in portrait mode, I've got problems (see below).

All the apps that run in landscape mode work perfectly. Want to watch (more like listen to and occasionally glance at when stopped) the local news while driving home from work? Works great. Netflix, HBO Go, etc., all work fine as long as they're in landscape.

There is a problem when my phone is not in landscape mode (even though it may be held that way). Can't select apps and can't flick home/app screens from side to side because on the Nexus there is no setting to have them in landscape. When not in landscape mode, the top and bottom of my phone's screen is also cut off on the HU. There may be an easy answer to this problem contained in this thread but I don't have time to search right now. It's kinda hard to explain. So, yeah, there could be some non-landscape mode problems but I'm fairly sure there's probably an easy fix I just don't have time to research right now.

Also....for those that were wondering.....ARU is working just fine on Android 4.4.3, which didn't cause any root problems as some people thought might pop up (using SuperSU).

Regarding Mirrorlink and cables, from what I'm reading, your M8 has Mirrorlink, so all you should need is the MU200. You may want to do a little more research there.
[Android General] sshams95:
Isn't there a setting to force landscape mode in ARU?

Try Nova launcher. Better than stock launcher and their beta version just implemented "OK Google" listening mode on all home launcher pages.
[Android General] Pig Vomit:
There is a setting in ARU for locking landscape. I tried setting that originally, and it had no effect. Is there a trick to this? Do I need to check or uncheck that box while the phone is connected to the HU? Do I need to check that box both while the phone is connected AND in landscape mode?

I like vanilla Android. Not a fan of Nova.

Just starting to search this massive thread for the answer to my problems now. Seems like more fun than cleaning my AR (no, not App Radio!).
[Android General] mnunes:
Great info there, thanks! My biggest concern was how navigation (specifically Google Maps) would work with this setup and it sounds like it's a good fit.

As for the landscape vs portrait issue, have you thought about Tasker and Rotation Locker? You can set a Tasker profile to activate Rotation Locker to landscape whenever it detects HDMI connected (I would expect that the Slimport looks like an HDMI connection). Whenever the profile is active, the phone is locked in landscape and when you disconnect it returns to normal.

Will have to checkout the support for MirrorLink.....

Edit: from what I've seen, it sure sounds like MirrorLink is MUCH more limited than what ARU allows. If I'm not mistaken, only apps specifically designed to work with MirrorLink will be accessible, much like the original AppRadio-compatible apps work. I think I'll be better off with ARU (all apps supported!).

If you want to keep developing on here, you have to do a pro version like everyone else. Offer the free version here and pro version on the play store for money. The pro version will have more features, encouraging people to buy it.

Touch Issues

I have been using ARU for a few months now and it has been working just fine, and I thank you for that! I received the 4.4.3 Android OTA update on my Nexus 4 this morning. I should have thought twice about allowing the update, it seems. I am now having an issue with the touch not working anymore. The actual touch controls on the head unit are working fine, but once I turn on Bluetooth and connect to MHL adaptor (normal setup) the screen is mirrored just fine but I can not longer use touch on the head unit to control the phone. The work around is that I can still use my phone to control everything and the sound is working just fine. Has anyone encountered this issue or know of a fix?
[Android General] Area51©:
I didn't do anything. Mediafire was probably just down for a bit. The free version will still be available. It's just not allowed here to work on a paid app.
[Android General] Area51©:
If you change that setting you have to force close and restart ARU for the setting to take effect. It could be that Roatation lock doesn't work on 4.4.3 as it is a bit of a hack.
[Android General] Area51©:
Check if your phone is still rooted.
[Android General] Pusherman:
that seems like it uses a lot.

To compare if my Nexus 5 with a battery of 2300 mAh is idle, it could do easily 2 to 3 days with the battery. When I use the phone (and screen) it would last for 1 to 2 days.

What causes the difference?
[Android General] tomfoolery82:
Steering wheel controls

Steering wheel controls are suddenly stop working. Anybody else experiencing this? I'm using an android HDMI stick and getting the same issue with 2 different ROMS. Sometimes it works for just a bit and sometimes it doesn't work at all. Doesn't matter how long I use. I when on a trip (10 hour drive) the next day after 30 min the controls stopped working like normal. If the stick is not plugged in the controls work fine system wide.
[Android General] Keland44:
Anyone that's running a stock Sammy setup with root might want to take a look at xposed and the wanam module. Just for kicks I was looking at it and saw this under the security section.

Might be useful to someone.
[Android General] TEK112:
Same issue here. It usually happens when the media process is not in the foreground. Meaning, google music works fine, but if I pull GPS up the steering controls sometimes stop working after x amount of minutes. Flipping back to google music restores connectivity

My strang issue is about after 30 minutes of driving the screen goes solid black. Still trying to figure that one out.
[Android General] jdogg4000:
I think because HDMI sticks don't enter deep sleep mode where your nexus 5 does. If we could get the sticks to go into such a mode then it would last a lot longer.
[Android General] mannyhernz:
Duuuude! This right here is the answer! Thanks bruh!
[Android General] spddmn6:
OMG I feel like an idiot! Problem fixed. Thank you. Any luck with a new location to host the new paid app yet?
[Android General] stargate125645:
Again, I think you have to go about it the right way. People have plenty of paid applications of which foundations are developed here.

Sprint S5 Root Kernel with Permissive mode

I do not have touch control. I have followed a lot of advice on this forum and no luck. I think that the reason is that I am using Chainfire. Is there a kernel that will work for my phone? I did a search and no luck.

Thanks
[Android General] kmckmc:
In my setup, I hooked up the stick directly to the car's battery (using car battery discharge prevention device, of course). I also thought about using a mobile power pack or powerbank, but during extreme temperatures the power pack will loose power and die prematurely, and it could be even dangerous if it is Li battery.

For connection, I'm using HDMI cable with ferrite cores + F/F HDMI adapter.
[Android General] Area51©:
Well the guy said this: "Sorry folks... XDA is not here to fundraise... Go elsewhere for developing apps that are money makers."

This seems pretty clear to me. Anyway, it might be better to setup a dedicated forum, similar to the ARL forum. This will allow for different threads for hardware setup and problems with the various phones etc. This one thread discusses a lot of completely different items, so later on you can't find anything anymore.

Already trying out a forum on my vacant webspace, pretty easy to setup. Have to customize it a bit. Only disadvantage is that it keeps from what I really want to do and that is to work on my app.
[Android General] mdelleman:
Thanks for all your hard work on this Area51. I just picked up an AppRadio 2 and am very excited about the development of a standalone app.

I am willing and able to help build a forum so you can focus on the app. Let me know what you think over PM.
[Android General] stargate125645:
Because you went about it wrong... Just look around. Plenty of examples.
[Android General] Area51©:
Yeah, I did that already with the ARUnchained GPS Injector. Nobody complained about that. So maybe I should call it AppRadio Unchained Pro instead (suggesting that the "free" users are amateurs). I guess that means I have to continue in this thread so the moderators have proof that I am offering a free version also.
[Android General] tomfoolery82:
My strang issue is about after 30 minutes of driving the screen goes solid black. Still trying to figure that one out.[/QUOTE]

Mine does also and kicks me out to the radio, when I go back to advanced app mode it's all black. I just hit the home button and it's back on the android home screen.

This happens on 4.2.2 and 4.4.2 With MK908ii T Model HDMI stick.
[Android General] GrandPrix06GT:
I have a pioneer sph da 210 and galaxy s4 sgh m919 T-Mobile running 4.2.2 kit kat and having problems downloading the actual app and appradio not even working on my head unit. I'm using these authentic pioneer cables from best buy.

I have the usb running out and hooked into the mhl, as well as the hdmi plugged into also. Then that's plugged into my phone. Resetting bluetooth on n off n trying to hook up appradio with no avail.

Also on my phone I can't download arunchained. I keep getting

"app not installed, an existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed"

I went into my files and deleted all the downloads of arunchained and that won't work for me still. I tried arunchained 3-6 and still nothing. I checked my root with root checker n it was saying my phone is rooted. Any help is appreciated! Thanks.
[Android General] TEK112:
I PM'd you.
[Android General] Area51©:
You have to uninstall the original Pioneer AppRadio app first. Obviously I can't sign the modded app with Pioneer's key so that's why you get the conflicting signature error.
[Android General] Keland44:
yea work on the forum in spare time focus on the app

toss up the new app in the play store and post the link so i can test it out :D
[Android General] Area51©:
That will take a while, there's loads of stuff to be done first. Tomorrow I will finally have time to continue working on the prototype.
[Android General] GrandPrix06GT:
Wow man, that's all it was. Haha losing sleep over it, thanks. I'll have to give it a shot now. Idk why it still wasn't syncing with my radio tho.

I am running da210 appradio 3. I have tried using several apps to change to permissive mode...still no luck. Everything works other than touch
[Android General] TEK112:
Did you try the xposed framework mod listed below? Then you have to install the wanum module and then you should be able to change it.
[Android General] cberan1:
I have Xposed installed and "Disable SEAndroid" box is checked. still no luck. I there something that I am missing with the exposed framework?

Thanks
[Android General] TEK112:
Nope. It should be that simple. Did you remember to reboot after changing the setting?

I haven't crossed this bridge yet because my Galaxy Note 2 is still on 4.3. However, you may want to check around on the support threads to see if you need a specific kernel.
[Android General] Keland44:
nice looking forward to it

anymore details about your setup? what phone your using? what's your rom state? i'm sure that might be helpful

i'm on a sgs3 running a nightly rom with kt kernel installed phone under options says it's in enforcing mode but i am able to get everything working
[Android General] sshams95:
So I'm kinda new to the HDMI sticks. Want to try it out. Will it have touchscreen capability when I hook up HDMI to Pioneer or do I need to get a USB mouse to navigate?
[Android General] Keland44:
i think you would need a mouse and keyboard to start off then once you get bluetooth connected to it you could go touchscreen

Hi,

I hope someone can help. I just installed and appradio 3 in my 2008 mazda tribute. I have a moto x that I connect to the appradio with a Belkin miracast adapter. I have apu .16 and android 4.4.2 on my moto x. I can succesfully mirror, but when i touch the appradio screen it show a finger and an x. does anyone know how to get touch input working, I was wondering if I can't because i'm using miracast.

Thanks

Whatever you do, don't call it a "donate" version. I hate when devs call their paid version a "donate" version. It's only a donate version if it adds nothing to the free version.

What's really weird is I have SlimKat installed on a Galaxy S4 I'm using with the radio. It shows enforcing but it still works fine.

Samsung S4

Area51 will this new app be worth downloading for Samsung users who are rooted but stock everything else?
[Android General] TEK112:
It would probably depend on whether or not the current app works on your phone. If it does then there is no downside. Even if the new app doesn't work at least you made a small donation for one that does.

Still not working even after reboot.

Running a dedicated forum is huge burden. Not hosting it, moderating it. But maybe some of the guys here with extra spare time could help. Last thing we want is your time to get wasted on maintaining a forum.. Cheers from me (3UY27776XE514872X) and keep the good work!
[Android General] DiGi91:
I would agree with this, I have some extra time and would not mind moderating for it if you do set up the dedicated forum. Sucks the way the mods went about it but it is what it is. Either way already donated, cannot wait!
[Android General] evillela2001:
Is your phone rooted?
[Android General] Area51©:
I agree, it sounds silly. Especially in this case where the paid version is a completely different version. Actually I would like to call the paid version just "AppRadio Unchained" in the Play store and rename the free version to "AppRadio Unchained Mod" but I am afraid this may create some confusion. I think "AppRadio Unchained" is a bit known as a brand name already. The mod has now more than 11500 downloads. Anyway, will think about it.

---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 PM ----------

You did only stock root your phone or have a custom ROM/kernel installed?
[Android General] Area51©:
Check your bluetooth pairing / connection. When using ARU, the HU will "give you the finger" only when there's no proper bluetooth connection. I have it working here with a Belkin miracast adapter so that's not an issue. You may want to use the 0.16a version as otherwise you will get the calibration screen every time you connect.
[Android General] Area51©:
Unfortunately my app can't workaround things being blocked on system level. So only if the current version works, the Reloaded version will work too.

There are some apps now that seem to be able to inject events without root access. So I looked a bit on how they did that and it gave me some ideas. Surely having it work without needing to root your phone would be a huge usp. Though it would likely have some limitations / inconveniences and I can't promise now that I can make it work. It's one of the long term goals, as now I just started the development.
[Android General] tauzins:
so question, ive been trying to get my gps to inject and it keeps giving me a status on the inject of error 6, any clue what this is? since slimport creates such a big interference it kills my network/gps signals when using it :/

this is a nexus 5, 4.4.3 stock rooted
[Android General] Area51©:
Yeah, setting up a forum and getting it to work is quite easy, had something up and running already last night. I didn't think too much about moderating though and agree this could be a lot of work or it will become a mess. So for now I will just continue to do some underground development here and see how it goes.

After all I wasn't really doing a fundraiser as that means I would only start if a certain amount of money is committed but I started already. I was only trying to create a win-win situation. Google takes 30% from what you sell in the Play store. So if I want to get 20$ it has to be 30$ in the Play store. That's why I can offer this deal now. Enough said, let me get some more development going.

Thanks for helping me to make up my mind and your support.
[Android General] Area51©:
What HU do you have? And where do you see error 6?

[Android General] Powerbasske:

[Android General] Pusherman:
I'm wondering, how did you guys with an Android stick connect to the play store?

I'm thinking about this, because for example when my car gets stolen or broken into, the Android stick will be logged in to my Play Store and google account.

Did you guys make a new play store account, not connected to the account you are using for your Android tablet or Android phone? Or did you use your normal account, but activated a security code (or dot pattern) to login to Android or something like that?

The disadvantage of making a dedicated account for my Appradio Android stick would be that I would have to buy certain paid apps twice.

I would like to have ARUnchained GPS Injector on the Android stick, but also on my Nexus 5 and on my girlfriends Nexus 4. So that would mean I would have to purchase it 3 times?

btw, it would be great to have a dedicated ARU forum with different sections. This is a great topic, but it's hard to find all the right info in 500+ pages ;)
[Android General] marktrav44:
Thanks Guys, Looks like I had to repair my phone and that fixed the problem. I also updates to .16a
[Android General] Area51©:
Well you could have one dedicated account for the stick and buy the ARUnchained GPS Injector there. If you also install this account on your phone (it's possible to have multiple accounts linked to google play) and your gf's phone, then you have to buy it only once. After buying what you need you can also remove the credit card from the associated wallet and nobody can abuse your account when the stick gets stolen.
[Android General] Pusherman:
That's a good idea!

Actually buying the GPS injector 3 times wouldn't be much of a problem, that's €15,60 so not a big deal. But then when ARU Reloaded will be $20, it would become $60 & €15,20.

But with your solution that shouldn't be a problem! thanks.

Hi,

Aru 0.16 doesent work any more since i upgrated my android os to 4.4.2.

Ive gote the galaxy note2(n7100) and on android 4.3 it works great, but not on 4.4.2.

Got the appradio 3, Da110, connected by mhl cable

Any ideas why it doesent work? - it is rooted..

The original appradrio app (2.6.0) does work, but its not full mirrored.

What doesnt work?: aru connects, landscape is shown, but the touch wont work, i only can use the android by touching the phones display, but not by the radio display...

[Android General] DiGi91:
Found out what the "unlicensed" thing in GPS Injector is. Since my S3 I'm using isn't activated and I drive around with no data for weeks at a time.. Looks like injector needs to verify the license once In a while? Today I was about to use gps and injector said unlicensed it will not work at all.. It just sucks as the phone I'm using is not in service and there is nothing I can do about it either. Area51 please correct me if I am wrong as that's what I'm guessing is going on. Hopefully the standalone app won't have this issue.. It's does surprise me a little as I paid to buy injector but I guess I understand?
[Android General] lysaer:
Make sure your SEAndroid is set to disabled, this can be done with wanam exposed.

Leave the mhl cable connected and the appradio app open, then turn bluetooth off on your phone and back on and select the headunit when it gives you the choices, make sure the mhl cable is connected while doing this.
[Android General] Area51©:
Done.
[Android General] Area51©:
Yes you are right, the license is verified once every few days. The license check result is cached and used for some time. It's possible for me to increase this time to 30 or 60 days, but still the check has to be done every now and then. The new app will have this issue also as it will have a license check too. As a workaround can't you enable a hotspot on your normal phone and connect to this with your S3?
