What does the diagnostics in ARUR say?

I assume you have the very latest busybox and SuperSU versions installed on top of root and have allowed SU access to ARUR?
[Android General] Zaileion:
I have the latest SuperSU Pro and root, and have granted SuperSU access to ARUR, as well as went into SuperSU and changed the default access to grant instead of prompt. but not busybox. I'll install that now and report back.

Installing busybox on either phone didn't work. I tired both ARUR and ARU. Neither work. I can't even get the calibration to work. Previously I was able to get the calibration to complete then I lost touch capibilities but now I can't get any touch capibilities at all. I must be doing something wrong. There has to be more support for a $30 app. Please provide some assistance, it even says on the play store than support is provided on xda but I've got no support from Area51 other than 1 response. Come on folks I'm dying over here. Lol.

Thank you.
[Android General] 400ixl:
I'll repeat the question, what does the diagnostics tool within ARUR say? Also try going into settings/apps and doing a force stop, followed by clear data and clear cache. Delete the approval status from SuperSU, then restart the app and re-do the approval.
[Android General] Zaileion:
My bad for making you repeat the question. I know tou asked before and i forgot to include that info. Pic attached with the diagnostic screen. I'll follow the above steps and report back.

Thanks again for the help!!

Should I be able to just change sources and disconnect and reconnect freely or is there a process such as connect hdmi cable, launch app, turn on car, etc... i cant seem to find anything with an exact procedure which leads me to believe it should just work anytime. Plus I noticed the AR Home button does noting. The free version has compatability apps and such but nothing seems to work on ARUR nor does calibration auto launch as does in the free version...
[Android General] Area51©:
How do you try to get into AppRadio mode? You are using the Apps button on the HU and not the HDMI input, right?
[Android General] Zaileion:
No i was uning the HDMI input. Omg. All this time. Days trying to get it to work all the while i was on the wrong input. Allow me to express my greatest apriciation for the support. Everything works brilliantly!! Ive restored my OS, tried different phones, installed different roms and diffetent kernels, tried all the different versions of free appradio, amd the paid version. But... now that i know its the apps input not hdmi. Duh! Everything is working perfectly.

Thanks for a great app and the support.

Fantastic!! Thanks again!

overscan

I've searched through as much of this thread as possible but have still yet to find a solution on how to fix the insane overscan/scaling issues I'm getting when casting my screen through chromecast. I'm able able to view the top left corner of my screen when connected. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the chromecast app, factory resetting my phone, factory resetting my chromecast, installing and using the "second screen" app...all with no luck. Any information would be greatly appreciated!
[Android General] Area51©:
It's a Chromecast bug in combination with some HUs. It works fine with an AR2 & AR3. However with NEX series there seem to be issues.
[Android General] jeren17:
Well that sucks. I definitely appreciate the response though! I don't expect you or anyone else to have a definitive answer, but is there a decent chance this bug will be fixed with a Chromecast update or a HU firmware update? I love what I got, but am debating downgrading to the AR3 if this issue can't be resolved.

SuperSU vs. Superuser

Hi,

the setup guide of ARUR states "After rooting your phone make sure to update SuperSU to the latest version".

Does it only work with SuperSU or could I also use ClockworkMod's Superuser app (com.koushikdutta.superuser)?
[Android General] 400ixl:
Technically either will work, but SuperSU is by far the more popular and proven way to grant SU permissions.
[Android General] Area51©:
It's also possible to use Miracast with the Nexus 6 as an alternative.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Does need a build prop hack "persist.debug.wfd.enable=1" though to get it working as it does not support it by default.
[Android General] jeren17:
I've edited my build.prop. I just need a miracast dongle to test it out. Thanks for the help
[Android General] Darealshht:
does this work with the new Appradio 4?
[Android General] jeren17:
Yes, I can confirm it works with the app radio 4. Took me all weekend to install/troubleshoot, but I finally got it set up nearly 100% as I want. I'm using the ARUnchained Reloaded app and a Microsoft Wireless Display adapter for the connection.

The only thing I'm not happy with is the picture quality on the HU (which I probably can't do much about) as well as my cast not being 100% full screen (which I should be able to adjust somehow, just haven't found the setting).

Overall I'm very happy with the DA120.
[Android General] Darealshht:
i have an LG G3 would it work just with HDMI and a slimport with unchained and root?
[Android General] 400ixl:
If you are on Android L then you will also need SELinux in permissive. Plus the GPS injector App. If you purchased ARUR then you would not need to change SELinux and the GPS app is built in.
[Android General] Darealshht:
yea i have SELinux in permissive
[Android General] Area51©:
Currrently injection of GPS data for AppRadio 4 is not supported by ARUR yet as the GPS message format was changed. This is not supported by ARU either as this is based on an older Pioneer app version. I am working on it. I already implemented decoding of the new message format. However there's some extra messages necessary to actually persuade the AR4 to start sending the GPS data.
[Android General] karthik247:
Hey guys,

I've just got this setup done in my car and have this one issue I just can't seem to resolve. I have a Chromecast connected to my Pioneer 8690 HU, and am able to mirror my phone BUT I'm only able to see the top left part of the image on the HU. Is there any way to adjust the resolution of the display, either on my phone or on the HU? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
[Android General] jeren17:
I just went through this same issue. Chromecast will not scale your phone correctly and newer pioneer HU's. As far as I know there is no fix. I had to replace my Chromecast with a Microsoft wireless display adapter to mirror my phone.
[Android General] karthik247:
So will any other wireless display adapter work well and cast the full image? Bought the Chromecast thinking it'll do the job but it didn't so thought I'd make sure.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Ah, yes forgot about that. The AppRadioLive app must be installed alongside ARUR and the phone GPS used for the moment.

---------- Post added at 08:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 PM ----------

Something to try, not likely to work, but worth trying.

Did you know there's a secret settings menu for Chromecast? You must first download the Google Cast extension for the Chrome browser. Once it's installed, click on the Cast icon in your browser bar and select Options. A page will open with a few settings you can adjust such as tab casting quality. Simply select from Standard (480p), High (720p), or Extreme (720p high bitrate). Extreme is for people with newer computers and speedy Wi-Fi.

Similarly, you can also adjust the streaming quality for anything you want to cast. While casting, go to the Cast icon in your browser bar and select the gear icon in the bottom left-hand corner. You will again see options for Standard (480p), High (720p), or Extreme (720p high bitrate).
[Android General] Area51©:
There's no need to install AppRadioLive. That seems to be just necessary when you want to use the GPS from the AR4 with the Pioneer AppRadio app and Waze. If you just want to use the phone's GPS there's no need to install anything else.
[Android General] JLPDA:
OK, so I know this has been brought up before, and it's not really an ARUR issue, but, since ARUR is working really well for me I'd like to figure out or find a reasonable workaround on getting locked out of all functions while a phone call is in progress. The following is just a short list of issues/examples why being locked out cripples the functionality of the AppRadio:

1) Can't bring up dialpad to press an extension or response to voice prompts (ie. #1 for English, #2 for Spanish).

2) Can't use conference call feature.

3) Can't view my GPS map (Waze, NAVFree USA, etc.).

4) Can't lookup another contact or email or text (it's important to be able to quickly lookup other info).

Right now I have to either pull my phone out of my center console cubby and use my phone (unsafe at best) or while on a call switch it to "speaker' so sound comes thru the phone and then choose my other app selection....I do this quite often when I have to lookup someone's contact information while I'm on the phone. If nothing else, we shouldn't be locked out of other functions when the car is not moving.

Again, this is NOT an ARUR issue, but, a Pioneer issue.
[Android General] 400ixl:
I use an app call Conference call dialer to get around some of this. You can program in the number, pauses and dialpad presses so it automates it for you. If it is a repeatable process this may work for you.

Won't help with the other issues though unfortunately.

Android 4.4.4 Breaks HDMI Scaling

Hey Everyone, I've got an HTC One M8 and am using the stock (HTC Sense) ROM of Android 4.4.2. With this OS, when I connect my phone to the AVIC-8000NEX the output is displayed properly and scaled to fit the screen. When I did the 4.4.4 OTA update, the scaling appears to be broken as I get horizontal black bars on the top and bottom of the AVIC screen. I have since downgraded back to 4.4.2 and this resulted in the scaling to be proper again with no horizontal bars. As a test, I plugged my Nexus 7 into the AVIC which is also running 4.4.4 and it also displayed horizontal bars on the top and bottom. I re-tested this after updating my Nexus 7 to Lollipop and the black bars are still there. I've since opened a case with HTC Tech Support, but it would appear this is an Android OS problem, not HTC. Can anyone confirm a similar or experience or a workaround? I'd like to be able to update my HTC One M8 when the Lollipop update rolls out but not if it means I'll get these bars again.

Thanks in advance.

I almost wish my windows 8 car pc can connect to this. sigh. pretty crazy development though !!
[Android General] Area51©:
Thanks for reporting this. I get sometimes support questions about this issue. I think it depends also on the HU as it reports HDMI properties via the MHL adapter. I have an AR3 and it has no issue like this with my Nexus 4 on 4.4.4. The NEX series also seem to have issues with Chromecast that result in only a part of the screen being shown. On my AR3 there's no issue with Chromecast.

Arunchained and archidroid

Hello everyone,

I do not know if it's already been asked. To connect with a galaxy S3 archidroid 2.5.2 (Android 4.4.4) that arunchained version should I install? I installed version 2.4.16 but after having authenticated the phone via bluetooth adapter and connected Samsung EPL-3FHUBEGSTD not light button app. In the settings of the car Pioneer AVH-X8600BT I set "others" and connection "HDMI".

I also tried to set connection "USB" but it does not work. What am I doing wrong?

I thank all those who want to give me advice. I have spent on cables, adapters etc. and I have not solved anything.

thanks again
[Android General] 400ixl:
First Step is to connect your phone to the MHL lead and then that to an HDMI lead and into your TV. You then plug a power supply into the MHL adapter

This should result in the phone screen being on the TV and will prove the cables are all OK.

You can then transfer this setup to your car. Set the HU to Other as the source.

I would install the original Pioneer App to start with, then do the bluetooth pairing.

You can then switch off the car, make sure the phone is waiting for connection and switch on the HU. You should get the ability to go into App mode and do the calibration.

If all that works and you can use the limited Pioneer interface, you know the BT connection and the cables all work.

Next is to uninstall the Pioneer App.

I am assuming that you have rooted your phone, got SuperSU, Busybox etc all installed. If using ARU then you will also have to have got SELinux in permissive mode (If using ARUR (paid version) you don't need to worry about SELinux)

Next is to install ARU/R (no need to do the GPS app or make it a system app as your HU does not have a remote GPS).

Now reboot the phone and when ARU starts it should ask to be given SU access in SuperSU, grant it permission

You should now be able to start the HU and connect, maybe needing to do the calibration again, but maybe not

It should now all work. If I have missed anything, sure someone will correct me.

Check the manual, in the AppRadio's is double press home and then select mix mode and the source. Will be something similar for the NEX range.

---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 PM ----------

As you are using ARU and not ARUR have you got SELinux in permissive mode?
[Android General] RRSpikes:
For 4000, 7000 & 8000 NEX:

Open your map app via ARU or ARUR and then press the 'mode' button to select HD Radio, CD, USB, etc.

Pressing the 'mode' button again will show the map app while continuing to play the music source you selected.

Turn by turn directions from the map app will play at the same volume as the music.

[Android General] 400ixl:
It will all be in the manual for the section on setting up the Android connection. IIRC it is to have no bluetooth connection, go into settings and input and change the HDMI settings.

ARL does not work on any HU after the AppRadio 2 / 8500BT

You are only having an issue becuase you haven't followed the HU user manual for setting it up from what I can see from the information supplied so far.

My main problem was using Chromecast (which doesn't work on the appradio 4). As far as the touch, I've had issues trying to get it to work on the App Radio app, but using AR Unchained to mirror my screen it works fine. Just be sure you've selected "apps" as your input and not "HDMI". Also, be sure you connect with AR Unchained after you've mirrored your screen.

Fedup of playing with screen resolutions, Sellinux , bluetooth toggle on off, etc etc.. so Just bought the other paid app yesterday.. hurt a bit money wise, especially as i already paid for teh gps injector, it would definitely have been bought by myself if it was cheaper a long time ago. but my time is worth money so had to make the call.... and bang.. installed... loaded.. and it all works!!!! excellent.. thanks for doing the programming :)

Anyone also stressing about connection issues etc, just bite the bullet and pay the monies.. its worth it for a stress free life :)

It seems you installed the 'stick' version but for a phone you should install the normal one. Home screen being cut of is normal for a Samsung phone as the default launcher doesn't like landscape mode. It can be fixed by installing an alternative launcher.

Also which ARU should i install.
[Android General] Darealshht:
I have the reloaded on bought it today because it worked better than the regular one for me except for GPS injection and screen resolution its too small on the HU
[Android General] ynayee:
What about the free one as on here there are too many files to chose from
[Android General] Darealshht:
You can try the free one but you need a permissive kernel and a separate GPS injection app to use GPS

So with paid one i will not get issues with touch screen hu etc

USB 3.0 Micro B Cable / Adaptor?

Hello,

I originally purchase the Appradio 2 (DPH-DA100) for my Galaxy Note 2. Now that I have a Galaxy Note 3, I was wondering if there is any type of USB 3.0 Micro B cable that works for it? Previously I used a 5 pin to 11 pin USB Converter (http://amzn.com/B009ETM2M2), but the connection frequently dropped out if the phone "jiggled". I was hoping there is some type of cable adapter for this, or even some type assembly the replaces the original Pioneer N838 (the HDMI / USB adaptor).

Thanks in advance!

How is audio sent from the phone to an appradio 4 when in app mode using ARUR? I know touch commands are Bluetooth, is audio Bluetooth as well or through the HDMI? Samsung galaxy s5 on CyanogenMod 12
[Android General] Darealshht:
So I noticed a few things. With cm12 the reloaded app would not inject GPS so I restored to stock 4.4.2 and it worked. Also whether it's cm12 or stock when I go to app the resolution is much smaller than hdmi input anyway to fix that because I can't use the HU screen to navigate the phone under hdmi input
[Android General] Area51©:
A new GPS message was added to the BT communication protocol for the AppRadio 4. I am working with some AR4 users to get it to work. I already added decoding of the new message but there's some extra commands necessary to actually start sending the messages.
[Android General] Area51©:
Audio is through HDMI.
[Android General] Area51©:
If you use HDMI input the screen is ok and if APP input it's too small? The HU does have settings to adjust the screen size. Did you try those?
[Android General] Darealshht:
Yea I adjusted it to make it as big as possible still smaller than HDMI source. The app screen doesn't take up the whole screen like the HDMI input
[Android General] booogermonkey:
So heres what I did. Reset HU to factory specs. ( I know its a pain to set everything up again). Then set up aru like its the first time. When you get to the screen that asks you to resize, don't resize. Just hit ok. You should have a full screen now. Don't know why, but it worked for me.

Really depends on what features you must have.

I haven't changed from my AppRadio 2 as I don't need the other features and its the most reliable of the HU's.
[Android General] Dirtylarry11:

[Android General] Area51©:
Thanks for the offer but it seems it's a bit too complex to do it remotely so I ordered an AppRadio 4 as well. Makes it a lot easier to try things to get it working. Should get it in a few days.

Anyway this explains why the GPS Injector isn't working with AR4 as regular ARU is based on an older version of the Pioneer AppRadio app that also doesn't understand the new GPS message. So I can give you a refund for that.
[Android General] Area51©:
He's using the AppRadio 2 = SPH-DA100. The AppRadio 3 = SPH-DA110 or SPH-DA210 (with DVD drive) has a few more features and is probably the cheapest option. The advantage over a 4000NEX is not only that it's cheaper but it also has a capacitive touch screen.

I'd go the Appradio 3 DA110 route personally if buying new.
