Thanks.

The keys are working. Only one thing, I can't go back to the AppRadio native screen anymore so once you are showing your phone's screen you are stuck there forever. I have to find a way how to do that. Do some more hacking.
[Android General] Area51©:
It is designed like that by Pioneer. I guess they did that to make it fool proof as much as possible.

There's only one way to stop it and that's by going to Settings>Apps->AppRadio and stop it there.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
even when i stop it there it immediately come back up..

so annoying :)

well, atleast its CM based ROM so i was able to "hide" the annoying notification icon...

thank you ! :)
[Android General] s0uli:
WOW... Area51... that sounds good. Will also donate but before i will try to get ARU running on my mobile. The last few days i had many problems with my S4 and the new firmware MH5 and new bootloader. It seams as that the root did not work well but i guess now i have fixed it.

Anyway... when i start the ARU on my device i only get after some minutes the info that ARU has stopped working. Something like a bootloop but with ARU. Any Idea what that can be!?!

My installation is....

AVH-X8500BT

Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505

AllShare Cast Dongle

Firmware is I9505XXUDMH5_I9505OXADMH5_I9505XXUDMH5_HOME.tar.md5

Rooted with CFAutoRoot (new version)

Thx s0uli

I don't know. Something is crashing but dunno what.

Are you sure your root is ok?

When you are sure, can you make a logcat? See post #3 for instructions.

Like ParanoidAndroid 3.69 ROM, when system UI is set to phablet or phone, AOKP jb_mr2 ROM will not register touches on lower part of AR display if UI set to phablet or in phone UI and the navigation bar is set to bottom in landscape.

I posted this new configuration on survey: N4 with AOKP first official 4.3 nightly and franko.Kernel #184 nightly.

A logcat to be emailed to developer later.

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------

Thanks for pushing Franko to look at his "fast charge" implementation. Hopefully the fact he has acknowledged that even his car charger doesn't reach high AC rate as if wall charger, will get him to look into a long standing anomaly of an otherwise good custom kernel.
[Android General] Area51©:
I experienced something like that with my HDMI stick too. It might be related to tablet UI in general not being detected properly.

Do you have any idea whether the original AppRadio app has the same problem? I think it might be as there are only phones

on the compatibility list.

In developer options you can enable two options, show touches and show cursor position. When you do that, can you confirm that in the lower area, where you can still register touch, that the touches are slightly off (registered higher than the actual touch)?
[Android General] Area51©:
Currently I think it's feature complete. There's maybe some small bugs to fix.
[Android General] mykeli9s0:
Orientation bug or issue.

Has anyone here experience a issue with the phone orientation being stuck in landscape? i recently notice mine does, after i disconnect my device from my AP3. i start to notice it when i upgrade it to V15 ARU.

I connect to APR3 no problem. portrait to landscape.

when i get off the car, and shut my engine off, device disconnect from APR3 and the orientation never switch back to portrait.

tried switching it manually. nothing happen. try to clear some RAM memory, it switch back to portrait for second and revert back to landscape.

tried using the exit mode from my tasker, nothing happens.

the only way i could fix it is by rebooting the entire phone.

Tried re installing the ARU still did not fix the issue.

Any thoughts?

Device: SAM NOTE 2

Thanks in advance.

Mike
[Android General] Area51©:
What if you disable bluetooth? Note that when you use tasker to stop ARU, you might kill something too early and it may not stop the rotation locker service.

What should also help is to force close ARU. If you have the GPS injector you should force close that first or press the Stop button in the app first before force closing ARU.
[Android General] rm001:
A question to those who use AppRadio 2 + Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (international version): doesn`t your SGN2 freeze everytime when you connect it to an MHL? I have to press Power button every time to switch the screen OFF, then press Power again to switch the screen ON, and only then everything works. Rooted stock Android 4.3, no "Screen Standby and Root" or any other screen saving application.

Can someone help me please, I'm using a HTC One running 4.3 on a AR3. I slight issues with connection as it takes quite a while sometimes to connect, sits at 50% for a good couple of minutes, tried to thin my contacts down to help but still a problem. My other issue is with either data or system lag in both Waze and Navfree. I have mock locations enabled, ARunchained injector connecting and running and I can see sat info populating but whilst trying to use on both sat nav apps it runs terrible. In Waze it hangs a lot when selecting a address to navigate stating please wait while calculating route, if I try Google voice to find a address it runs very slow. In Nav free whilst it should know where I am it just doesn't move whilst I am moving (like it isn't getting satellite information). With the official pioneer app I don't have these issues.

Is there anything I can try to resolve? If I could just resolve these couple of things it would be perfect.:good:

---------- Post added at 04:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 AM ----------

Might have fixed my data / lag issues, made it my mission to try to fix myself, I was running screen standby and with this running my data connection was very iffy, read on here that someone mentioned play store wouldn't work and it must be the same running waze. Now all I need to work out if speeding the connection time.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Man, if you only knew how many times it was stated in this thread that screen standby is the root cause of all issues on 4.3 ROM's lol....

in regards to the slow connection, are u running CM/AOKP rom? if so, just go to the app privacy guard and remove the contacts ability from ARU. if ur running regular stock ROM delete the BT connection between the phone and the HU and then re-establish connection and when it asks permissions to read contacts say no. since u mirroring ur phone to the HU giving the HU the ability to read contacts its kinda useless, who uses their AppRadio app interface anyhow :)
[Android General] mykeli9s0:
I was able to fix it, thanks for the suggestion. the issue is not the tasker but what you said make sense, thats why i moved my tasker action to disable the ARU last. the issue that cause my phone to stay on landscape is the rotation locker app. i did delete the app and its back to normal.

the only thing i'm annoyed at the moment is the pause dialing (not sure what its called), when your calling your VM it ask you to enter your pin and other stuff, i'm unable to use it and i dont know any work around, other than doing it on the phone. i wish someone figure it out.

Also it will be cool if someone develop a android app theme like Knightrider (KiTT) that works. there a some app (KItt) but does not work. :(

anyhow thanks
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
save your voicemail number as a contact with number , and then the pin.

for an example:

972555555,,1234#

that way when u call ur VM it will automatically enter the pin for u

SVoice

SVoice has just not been kind to me.
[Android General] adaptle:
Lol cheers fella, yeah I tried to search the forum and this thread but wasnt getting on well till I came across the comment re play store not working with screen standby. Such a pain as I like the screen going off but the issues outway that so for now I am happy with tasker dimming the screen to 0 to help out on mhl connection. I did as you said and kicked myself for not thinking of it, disabling the phonebook transfer is defo the way to go, connected in seconds! Brilliant!!:good:
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Happens to the best of us lol
[Android General] stargate125645:
That differs from what others have said.

Have people verified by covering the phone microphone while doing it? I disabled SVoice, so if you are using SVoice then that may be the culprit. It'd be nice to get a consensus form people. Can you verify, Area51, with your AR3?
[Android General] cwalkin:
Hi All,

Drive Link is not working for me so I'm glad i found this thread.

My Questions are:

1)With the Galaxy Note 3 does ARU require the Samsung MHL Adapter AND the 5 to 11 pin adapter? Or is connecting via usb ok

2)As it appears root is required for ARU, what Root version/Rom have proven successful with Note 3?

Thanks in advance
[Android General] RenoXDA:
UP!

i've Note 3 too, w/o root, i've some problems with BT connection with MHL adapter... some times work... some others no... rlly strange...
[Android General] cwalkin:
I will donate to A51 tonight!
[Android General] bodieism:
Without root your phone will fail to execute bluetooth touch inputs from the head unit. I don't see how it could work at all unless you're referring to something else? I use a Note 3 with the AR3 and it works fine.
[Android General] cwalkin:
What Root version/Rom are you using? And I assume you are also using the Samsung MHL adapter?
[Android General] bodieism:
I assume you mean root method? I have the developer edition Note 3 so I used Odin to flash TWRP and then I used TWRP to flash the superuser zip. I'm currently running Hyperdrive RLS3. I use this adapter in my car.
[Android General] KENT_RUS:
Hi, friends! :)

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (N9005 LTE) will work with Pioneer AVH-X8500BT through this program?

Ok, that's the same adapter I purchased.

I obviously don't have a dev edition, just the basic Verizon one. Will any root method/Rom work?
[Android General] FingerBlastJ:
Question

So i stopped using google nav for Waze

I got Waze to work with HU gps, i guess cuz its pioneer approved app, i do not have injector

I turned off gps to save battery, doesnt make much of a difference.

But heres my question

How do i keep apps that need gps location on functioning properly, like facebook tagging, etc, with having gps off?

Is that what mock locations are for?

I checked mock location on, please confirm

Thanks!
[Android General] bodieism:
You need the injector and mock locations needs to be on.

Not all ROMs have MHL support so no. If your phone is properly rooted it doesn't really matter what method you used to achieve it.
[Android General] cwalkin:
Gotcha, after root, just need to flash Hyperdrive RLS3 and I should be set

Thanks!
[Android General] dagdervis:
yes mate my nexus 5 works very nice with my appradio 2 except gps!

but i have some questions

when i force close ARU its a pain to get it working again. it usually involves lots of uninstalling rebooting and installing again.

Is there a way to stop the service when not needed? (arliberator has the option) coz everytime i got in my car bluetooth connects and phone goes in landscape mode which can be annoying at times.

phone's gps does not work at all when connected to the HU. even navfree does not work. i dont need to use HU gps. is there a way to use phones gps? arliberator let me use phones gps.

also sound comes from phones speaker when i switch the car off and on. force closing the media player does not help! only rebooting the phone works.

by the way thanks for this great app it is much better and faster than arliberator. it takes only 10 seconds to connect to the HU! THANKS!

[Android General] 400ixl:
If you want to use the Appradio GPS then yes.
[Android General] dagdervis:
Yeah but even navfree does not work. Its an official approved app it should be able to use the GPS in the HU.
[Android General] lpasq:
Does Waze work? My NavFree doesn't work either it broke as part of the last NavFree upgrade. Sorry that I misunderstood your issue. I never chased it since my personal preferences make me dislike NavFree anyway. Do you have ARUGPS injector? If so, consider recording a NavFree ARU session logcat and posting for the ARU dev.
[Android General] Area51©:
Did you check the Connection Status in the HU settings? You can also try if the AppRadio "native" maps app is able to show your location.
[Android General] dagdervis:
I will check it in a while but to be honest I'm not really interested in getting HU gps work. I'm more interested in using phones GPS. With arliberator I can connect my nexus 5 to HU and use phones gps but now with your app phones Gps is dead.

---------- Post added at 10:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 PM ----------

Reporting live:

I have just checked HU connection tab and it fine its got good connection but the native maps app doesn't show my position it actually shows nothing apart from the buttons!
[Android General] Area51©:
Well, strictly speaking it's not "my" app. It's Pioneer's app modded to make it more useful. This behaviour regarding the phone's GPS was not changed by me, apparently this is how it was designed by Pioneer. If you are not happy with it, you can of course mod it yourself any way you like.
[Android General] evillela2001:
So I have the nexus 5 and the gps injector doesn't turn on mock locations. I've read that a few others have this issue as well. Everything else works perfect.
[Android General] dagdervis:
Sorry mate I think you got me wrong I like your work and I'm trying to help to make it better.

So the native maps app does not even have a search field. Maybe a bug in pioneers app?!

I installed waze and its working it uses HU GPS just fine.

By the way why do you think sound comes from phones speakers after a cycle?
[Android General] stayupthetree:
Using 4.4.1 and GPS injector, the gps works in Waze, but in Maps I get nada. Just "waiting for location".
[Android General] Area51©:
Did you convert it to a system app? For 4.4.x you need to move the GPS Injector to "/system/priv-app". It might be that Titanium backup doesn't move the application to "/system/priv-app" yet.

If you didn't convert the GPS Injector to a system app, you have to switch mock locations on manually first.

When you open the GPS Injector app what status is shown?
[Android General] Area51©:
Sorry, sometimes people don't realize what modding an app means. That it can in fact be very difficult to solve a simple thing because you have to reverse engineer everything.

That is something in Android. When HDMI is connected sound should be sent over HDMI too but somehow this isn't always detected properly.
[Android General] EvanVanVan:
Dumb question but I just found this thread, is this is a separate project from ARLiberator? or just ARLiberator rebranded? I bought ARL when it was first released, but don't use it that often since it (at no fault of it's own) drains the battery pretty quickly (and therefore has heat issues) plus with my bootleg mhl cable I was always getting static disruptions.

So is this a different mod? Any differences or benefits over ARL?

Thanks
[Android General] 400ixl:
Best off using root explorer as ES Explorer requires you to mount priv-app. Root explorer just allows you to move it.
[Android General] Area51©:
Yes it's a different mod. It's the Pioneer AppRadio app that's modded. Most important benefit is that it works with AppRadio 3.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Separate project, this is a hack of the OEM project rather than a reverse engineering standalone app and will have the same issues for you. The hack method does allow for quicker response to changes in the OEM app and is why it is currently the only AppRadio 3 option.

Without knowing what phone etc, you can either use a fast charge kernel (if one exists) which will usually charge at a higher voltage but also cut back at set temperatures, or use a later standard adapter (mhl or Slimport 2.0) which allows faster charging.

Either way, if it is using the HU GPS you should be able to get a stable battery level, even if it doesn't increase the battery charge.

It won't fix the static issues either, as with ARL, ARU is reliant on you having decent hardware all the way to the HU. A cheap MHL adapter will normally have issues, even with the OEM Pioneer app.
[Android General] EvanVanVan:
Thanks for the explanation. I actually bought the official Android connection kit after seeing the static issues, but never got around to removing my dashboard again to install it...
[Android General] KENT_RUS:
Please, answer me my question.

Through ARunchained or Arliberator Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (N9005) AppMode will work at Pioneer AVH-X8500BT?

Thanks!
[Android General] stayupthetree:
Im converted to system app. When I run the app it says "Connected". I do manually have mock locations enabled. I initially had the app moved to /system/priv-app/ but that would cause ARU to crash repeatedly and thus couldnt even connect to the HU so I had to move it back for functionality to return.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Which app have you converted, ARU or ARU GPS?
[Android General] Area51©:
Yes, ARUnchained works. Arliberator might work too.
[Android General] evillela2001:
Looks like titanium backup moved it to system/app. How do I move it to priv-app? As for the status it shows a signal but shows mock locations off.

...Open Root Explorer ...select Mount R/W ...go to /system/app and select mars.area51.arunchainedpgs.apk and select cut from options at page bottom ...go to /system/priv-app and select "Move Here" option at page bottom ... make sure the injector's permissions are rw-r-r

[Android General] texbuck:
I haven't heard any stories to the contrary, but of course you will have to switch from an mhl adapter to a slimport one. I'm about to upgrade as well and the LGG2 is right at the top of my list.

The new 2.0 Samsung MHL is an 11 pin. Most others require an adapter.
[Android General] jasoncwms:
Hey everyone,

I'm fairly new to the Android crowd (at least when it comes to phone, I've had my Nexus 7 since they first released it). But I'm not new to AppRadios, I've been using them with my iPhones since they first released years ago.

Anyways, I now have a Nexus 5 and I would love to get full touch capability on my HU. I currently have an AppRadio enable AVH-X8500BHS. Already got the cables hooked up to the HU and it works with the stock AppRadio app with no issues.

I've been looking through many posts on here trying to find the right answer on what to do, but with 225 pages on this thread and growing.... it's becoming a little hard to weed out things.

Just wondering...

I need to root my Nexus 5, correct? What would be the best way to do that?

After that, I just need to sideload the ARU apk... then what?

Forgive me if I'm asking noob questions, but just trying to get pointed in the right direction.
[Android General] TEK112:
1.) Root your nexus using the Nexus 5 thread

2.) Install ARU (all other appradio apps must be uninstalled first)

3.) Reboot and plug in your HDMI cable

4.) Profit
[Android General] jasoncwms:
Seems very straightforward, thanks :)
[Android General] TEK112:
No problem. It is a fantastic app. Enjoy!
[Android General] cwalkin:
Awesome, thanks! That's what I thought but I've read some conflicting info.
[Android General] 400ixl:
To root the Nexus 5 look at http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/

You will need a slimport adapter for the N5 to connect up the HDMI

Once rooted you can install ARU to get the basic touch features (need to allow apps to be sideloaded)

If you also wan to use the HU GPS (if fitted) then you will need to purchase the ARU GPS app, install that and then use root explorer to move it to the priv-app folder

Set allow mock locations

Reboot

You should then be able to get it all working
[Android General] jasoncwms:
What would be the best way to dim or shutdown the phone screen, meanwhile still being able to use everything on the HU?
[Android General] TEK112:
I don't know of anything for 4.4. I use screen standby but I'm on 4.1.
[Android General] shaxs:
I think that is the best option albeit not great. Is sound quality okay through the app?
