I've installed ARUR, it connects great. I do have a couple of questions, hopefully they haven't been asked before (I couldn't find anything anyway).

Is there anyway to disable the sidebar that ARUR adds? On the appradio 4 the side bar takes up quite a bit of screen real estate which is pretty valuable on the smaller screen of the appradio 4.

Also, the phone screen doesn't seem to stretch to the top edge, is there any settings for alerting that? If I can't get rid of the side bar I might be better of using the ARU with the GPS injector instead.
[Android General] RRSpikes:
Answers to both questions can be found in the Appradio 4 owners manual.

1st question: Page 61 (....practice makes perfect)

Need some testers with a Samsung SELinux enforced device

Ok, I am working on getting ARUR to work with SELinux in Enforced mode.

I have a possible solution for that. It may need some tweaking. Is there anybody who can run a few tests for me? As unfortunately (but mostly fortunately) I don't have any Samsung device.

What Android version are you running? What does diagnostics show?
[Android General] Dougw133:
Im using a tablet not a stick but need the same exact function. I have a 4000NEX series and this is my final hurdle. Somehow playing with the order of doing things last night I was able to have both my tablet and phone connected at once with Arunchained Reloaded running and BT calls available. I have no idea how. After that when I tried to reproduce it it didn't work. Sometimes both devices could connect which involves connecting from the tablet or phone which is a pain in the firts place, and then the phone would say "connected, NO Phone" so it would just be connected for audio because the tablet is connected as phone even though its not and I uncheck the phone option in the tablets BT settings, it reverts back. Let me know if you figure anything out. Im hoping Pioneer will have a BT software update since bothe the AR4 and my unit have a more than capable BT stack.

Can someone tell me what exactly Arunchained/Appradio needs the BT for? Or what service so to speak? Wondering if I could use a third party app to limit what the tablet connects via Bluetooth so it doesn't interfere with my phone. Thanks in advance.

Im stuck here. If use my Phone (HTC ONE) with the MHL it drops my GPS and Data immediately with the genuine HTC MHL adapter, use the tablet, I lose phone connectivity...Shouldn't be this hard.

Ok a test is being done by several Samsung owners that have SELinux enforcing and a locked bootloader.

First result it that diagnostics reports event injection is possible. Waiting for confirmation that touch is really working.
[Android General] veearrsix:
I've almost got ARUR working perfectly. It's connecting to the head unit fine, but I don't appear to be getting the GPS data injected.

I've got allow mock locations enabled in the developer options, the diagnostics say:

Bluetooth on - yes

Root access - yes

Virtual device exists - yes

Event injection - yes

No app interference - yes

Installed as system app - no

Can switch mock locations - no

I'm running lollipop in a nexus 5.

Also, I have tried following the instructions for making ARUR a system app to allow it to automatically switch mock locations. Where the instructions say "2. Move 'mars.area51.arunchained-1.apk' from '/data/app' to '/system/priv-app'" I have a directory named "mars.area51.arunchained-1" within "/data/app", this directory contains an .apk called "base.apk". Should I move the entire directory, or just "base.apk"?
[Android General] Area51©:
Are the APKs in the /system/priv-app in sub folders or not?
[Android General] Area51©:
ARUR now works with SELinux in enforcing mode

There's great news for Samsung users with a locked bootloader that can't set SELinux in permissive mode.

I just got the confirmation that the last test version is working with SELinux in enforcing mode!

Several users confirmed it working. This means that just root is enough and it's no longer necessary to install a kernel that is in permissive mode which is not even possible if your bootloader is locked.

Tomorrow a new version will be available from the Play store.
[Android General] veearrsix:
Are you asking if the other apk's within sub folders? If so, yes they are, but they have the same name for the apk as for the folder containing them. Do I actually need to move the apk into the system folder to get the GPS data to be injected? Or is it just a convenience feature for switching the mock location switch automatically?
[Android General] Area51©:
I don't have Lollipop yet so can't exactly tell you.

It's just a convenience feature but it sucks when you have to switch mock locations manually coz at some point you will forget.

I finally got mirroring to work using unchained on my HTC M8 but I cant get any touch input to work. Meaning, I see my phone mirrored on the screen of my app radio 3, but I cant control it by touching the screen.... only by touching my phone. Im rooted on 4.4.4 sense 6.0. Ive been trying forever to get this to work right.. Any help is really appreciated.
[Android General] random155:
Ok, I finally got it to work. Stupid update killed my root, so I had to re-root. Then I installed the SELinux switcher, to switch to permissive mode and life is heaven in my car. Even though no one actually replied, I found all the answers after a few hours of searching this thread, so thanks again.
[Android General] psykopal:
Area51, you are the best!

OMAIGA!!

This is awesome! I'm gonna go buy the AppRadio3 tomorrow! Let us know when the updated Play Store app is up and, I'll go buy it.

Thank you so much!

Cheers!

P.S. Do you recommend the AppRadio 3 or 4? Anyone?
[Android General] Area51©:
AppRadio Unchained Reloaded was just updated to V0.17 in the Play store.

It supports SELinux in enforcing mode. So it should even work for Samsung phones with a locked bootloader. Root is still required.

It was just uploaded so might take a few hours to distribute over all Google servers.
[Android General] hawwy:
Does this work on galaxy note 2
[Android General] 400ixl:
Provided it is rooted then it should yes.

Depending on the version od Android, for ARU (free app) you may still need to get SELinux into permissive mode., for the paid for ARUR app the developer has now gotten around this and just root will suffice.

Sorry i meant note 3

---------- Post added at 04:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 PM ----------

Do i need sone sort of cable or box or something to connect phone or does it mirror over blutooth?

My phone has the X note rom.

I have the se linux app but it doesnt allow me to change modes.

What else i need
[Android General] 400ixl:
Same answer for the 3.

You need the Samsung MHL adapter to connect to the HDMI lead which connects to the HU.

You could try wireless with the likes of an AllCast, Miracast or Chromecast adapter.

If you are using ARU then you will need to get SELinux into permissive. If you by ARUR from the play store then you won't need to. Whether Area51 will bring the SELinux mod to ARU I don't know, and wouldn't hold it against him if he didn't as its a bonus feature for his work put in.

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

Modified version of ARUR has just been pushed to my phone, so its getting around the Google servers. Not been out and tested it yet though (although I am in permissive mode anyway).
[Android General] Roomiki:
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S

So, even in the latest version of the ARUR touch is not transmitted. I tried all firmwares from 2.3 to 4.0.4 and different ways of root. Root testing is ok.

Diagnostics shows that event injection unchecked. But Knox or non permissive kernel is not relevant to android 4.0.4.

Any solutions?
[Android General] Area51©:
That is difficult. Somehow the /dev/uinput device is not working properly. I can't think of a reason why.

When you open an android terminal (app called android terminal emulator) and type:

Anyone manage to get tasker to automatically launch Allshare?
[Android General] 400ixl:
Yes, someone did a long while ago and posed how to in this thread.

[Android General] hawwy:
I know what you are saying about putting in permissive mode but on the selinux app i cant change to permissive because its greyed out?

when i opened the selinux it comes with an error saying "looks like you cant use selinux or its been disabled"

Also the mhl adaptor non are available for the note 3 do i get a galaxy s3 one will it work?
[Android General] 400ixl:
Has the app been given permission in SuperSU (or whatever SU manager you use)?

How did you test root?

---------- Post added at 06:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:20 PM ----------

Without SELinux in permissive on ARU it will never work for touch events, you most likely need a custom kernel. ARUR from the Play Store will now though.

S3 and Note 3 both use the same proprietary Samsung 11 pin MHL adapter.
[Android General] hawwy:
So why is selinux not working for me
[Android General] 400ixl:
Probably because you have the OEM kernel which doesn't allow it to be changed. If you have an unlocked boot loader then change the kernel to one which is permissive. Otherwise buy the AppRadio Unchained Reloaded app from the Play Store that now doesn't need SELinux to be in permissive mode.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mars.area51.arunchained
[Android General] Roomiki:
Yes, i set full permission via SuperSU and use Root check apps from play market. Also i can write to system folders.
[Android General] Medic97:
It's ok I figured it out.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Have you done the test that Area51 asked you to do to check the virtual channel permissions?
[Android General] Roomiki:

[Android General] sirjohn78:
Dear Area51© ,

First of all I'd like to thank you for making one of my dreams come true :)

I used two different Android installed car radios in the past but they were totally garbage.

When a local online seller made a big discount on Pioneer DA110 (~200 USD) I wanted to search about the radio and while searching about it I came across with Appradio Unchained. Then I decided to give it a try. Ta taaa it worked nearly perfect with RK3188 android stick. Thank you so much.

Although Appradio Unchained was good enough I bought the Reloaded version to show my appreciation.

Before my questions I want to write about a part of my experience with the Appradio Unchained Reloaded it may help someone.

When I first installed the Reloaded version, at the calibration screen only the dots at the left side were touchable. The ones at the right side couldn’t be touched. I thought XY axis changing option could help. I ticked the box at the option menu. But nothing changed. I gave up and started using the Unchained (free) version. Two days later I changed the firmware of the stick and wanted to try Reloaded again. At first there was the same problem. Then I tried XY axis option again. But this time, after ticking the XY option I pushed the stop button and then start button. And everything worked flawlessly. I realized that in order to make the XY axis option to work the app must be restarted :laugh:

Now I have a couple of questions. Actually two of them are not related to Appradio Unchained but I thought one of the participants of this forum would be kind enough to lead me to the right direction solving my problem.

1-	After the stick complete booting, it takes about 90 – 120 second to Appradio Unchained Reloaded to start. “Tasker” and one more app start more quickly than the “Reloaded”. Is there a way to start the “Reloaded” earlier?

2-	This one is not related to the “Reloaded”. As I said earlier I am using an Android Stick instead of a phone. Because they meant to be used with a big screen, the icons and the fonts are rather too small. As far as I know, in order to make the icons etc bigger I need to change the DPI setting but I couldn’t manage to find a suitable DPI value. Default DPI is 220 and I tried lower DPIs but nothing improved. There were some changing in the icon sizes but not enough. What can I do for making the Pioneer DA110’s screen to behave like a 7” Tablet ?

3-	Lastly, is there a way to move the system bar (Soft Keys Back, Home etc) below the screen to above the screen? It is not convenient to touch the lower part of the screen because of the extension of the DA110 (the part where the hard keys placed. Volume,home etc)
[Android General] Dougw133:
Think I've seen something about DPI in here http://xdaforums.com/hardware-hacking/android-sticks/arunchained-reloaded-android-sticks-t2833303

[Android General] thesticks00:
Can you go through exactly what you did? I currently am in the same situation as you (appradio does not let me control the phone and I have to navigate from my phone itself). I thought it was something having to do with my phone so I returned it completely to stock and installed the stock appradio app. For some reason I still could not get things to work. Even an app like waze it would not let me enter an address. I am going to re-route today, uninstall stock appradio and install ARU. I feel like I may still need other things done to get this working properly.

Notes:

Running Android 5.0

Phone: Nexus 5

Connection : HDMI

Problems: Screen is mirrored but can't control via headunit when using ARU. When using Appradio stock app, the apps don't let you do things within them (Waze won't let you enter an address to navigate to). Have not tried the other apps in stock Appradio apk as there arent many free ones.

Please help if you can.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Have you rooted your phone with the custom kernel which allows SELinux to be set to permissive?

Instructions I have posted here http://xdaforums.com/general/paid-s...-unchained-t2955966/post57111392#post57111392 for ARUR, but can also be applied to ARU for the rooting process.

I did some more playing and I'm still not able to get SOUND working on my Appradio3 with my HTC One M8 on Liquid Smooth ROM. Touch works just fine, just no sound.

I feel like a fool considering I did one of the youtube reviews listed on the front page of this thread haha. But that was my M7. My new M8 just can't quite get there. Not sure what the issue is.
[Android General] pongoface:
Have you gone back to the basics and checked to see if the mhl adapter you are using has sound say connected to your hdtv? The H8 may not be compatible with your current mhl adapter.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Or the ROM may just be buggy. Try the TV first, if that doesn't work, go back to the OEM ROM and test that. If neither work then its likely a faulty adapter.

I am assuming its the same adapter you used on the M7? If so, do you still have that phone, which will also narrow down the fault to the adapter or ROM/M8 hardware.
[Android General] dj_vc:
I had the same problem with Nexus 4 after lolipop ota update and rooted with Wugfresh root tool kit. All but touch from the Pioneer radio was working. Loaded the SELinus as suggested by random155 and set to permissive. Reloaded ARU. Followed the prompts and it is working fully. :good:

I have an old Google Nexus 4 and I want to buy a car radio that can play its music and can mirror the screen for Google Maps.

If I buy an old AppRadio 2 head unit and root my mobile can I then use AppRadio Unchained to mirror Google Maps onto the head unit? Also will it play music from Google Music?
[Android General] 400ixl:
Provided it has a Sim card for 3G then yes. Otherwise you could use a nav system which works offline such as Navfree. You would also need to get the ARU GPS app if you want to use the HU GPS mouse rather than the phones.

Mobile Phone Display off/on

Hi I just have the following qiúestion,

It works fine between my Galaxy Note 4 and F60DAB (NEX8000) with wirless Netgear Dongle and Bluetooth.

Now I saw that always when the phone is connect to the HU, it is always on, is there something that the Display on the phone can be switch off?

Ist because when I have the phone in the car dock I see both Display of HU and Display of the phone and that is not real great.

[Android General] Area51©:
It works with SELinux in enforcing mode, connects faster, you're not bothered with any Pioneer stuff. It's has a feature to switch on BT and start on HDMI connect so there's no need to use Tasker. It makes everything easier to use. If you are happy with your current setup, there's no real need to buy Reloaded.

That being said, many users are happy with Reloaded like here: Short impression or just read the reviews in the Play store.

[Android General] Area51©:
The latest ARUR doesn't need to have SELinux in permissive mode to work. So no custom kernel is necessary.

If home screen doesn't fit it is because the Samsung launcher doesn't handle landscape well. You can use another launcher like Nova launcher to fix this.
[Android General] italynstylion:
The adapter is behind the dash so I'd have to pull the entire stereo out to test it. Unfortunately, I no longer have the M7 either. However, the M7 worked relatively fine up until I got rid of it. So I don't suspect the adapter. See below for what I think may be up...

What did you have to do to get it working on your M8 with that ROM? The liquid smooth ROM uses the Viper sound drivers and I too am having no sound while the display connection works fine. I have not tried more than one player but I'll give it a shot later. I'm wondering if it's the sound drivers that are giving us hell.

[Android General] italynstylion:
Can someone explain to me what running a "custom kernal" does and why it would help with the AppRadio Unchained connection/functionality?
[Android General] 400ixl:
It will only help if you have a Samsung phone and need to bypass Knox and SELinux. Although you can now avoid this by using the ARUR application instead.

Otherwise people use one for things like a fast charge ability via USB power sources.
[Android General] italynstylion:
Thanks for the reply! Sounds like it won't help with my sound issues :(

If it's due to incorrect routing of the audio you can test it with Soundabout. You get a few days trial, enough to test if that's the issue.

Your problem could stem from. The Bluetooth connection, go into Bluetooth while connected and phone and media audio should be unchecked. Bluetooth connection should say "appradio(no media)" or to that extent. Easiest way to fix it is before plugging in mhl cable go to AR app and click o how to connect to BT the disconnect and reconnect from there.

I have a OnePlus and a G3, both rooted on OEM software. I am looking to get either one, or both, working with my Pioneer Z150BH, without cables (as I'd have to remove the IPod cable and exchange it for an Android cable - taking dash apart).

Any direct/straight forward how to method to have my phone/s cast up on the screen and be able to use the Pioneer touch screen would be appreciated. I am just becoming 'aware' of the 'sticks' you referenced, but have no working knowledge, yet.
