Hey guys. Been reading through the thread to see if I could uncover my problem, for 500+ pages gets a bit much.

I have a stock rooted Galaxy S3 (i747m), App Radio 2. I've got ARUnchained. I have an MHL cable I got from my stereo supplier, goes mini-usb from phone, to MHL split which splits to HDMI (goes to back of AppRadio 2) and USB, from USB to the multi-pin (11?) on the back of the AppRadio 2.

Bluetooth works, can make calls. Apps button stays grey, android buttons on AppRadio don't work at all. Any advice? Just doesn't seem to want to work at all. =/
[Android General] Area51©:
If it works I could add something to Reloaded that will activate/deactivate it on connection/deconnection.
[Android General] Area51©:
Ok. I don't have time to work on your problem. There's one thing you can try. When you are in ARU press the Back button and confirm that you want to quit the app. Now touch should still work. If you then press the home button, does it still take you to the ARU app?
[Android General] 400ixl:
It has nothing to do with "newer generation of phones" as newer generations work fine. Its to do with Samsung deciding in their implementation of later versions of Android they are going to add their own security measure to stop people having a lower level of access.

Nothing ARU can do about it. You need to adapt your phone to put SELinux mode into permissive. Most people with Samsung phones seem to be doing this with custom kernels.

Have a look in the section of the forum for your model of phone or look back through the thread for someone else who has solved it with your phone and carrier.

For the cropped screen, try using a different launcher like Apex or Nova instead of Samsung's Touchwiz.

And about EZCAST Mirecast adapter? Will work?

I Can set Screen Mirror as dafault on startup...
[Android General] Area51©:
Yes, I tried a Tronsmart T1000 and got it finally to work with the latest firmware update. I think that sound quality is less than the Belkin, it breaks up sometimes. It's also annoying that you can set it up to start in Miracast mode but after a few minutes without connection it will switch to EZCast mode and you have to use the app to set it back to Miracast mode or cycle power to reboot it so it will start in Miracast mode again.

Thanks for the feedback.

And that adapter. Should work?

AppRadio Unchained Reloaded progress

Here's a short update so that you know I am still working on it.

I have been working the last few days on creating the alpha version of Reloaded. I refactored the prototype completely so that it's more or less logically structured.

Today worked on integrating all components and got everything working. So touches, keys, SWCs and GPS is received via Bluetooth and injected into the system. It's really great that I can use the debugger now. With the ARU mod version that was not possible.

After that worked on getting the Bluetooth connection bullet proof. I did quite some experiments with it but still want to improve it. One thing I noticed that toggling Bluetooth from on to off and then on again really helps a lot to make a quick connection so I will try to implement that for the first alpha release.

I still have to work on the GUI so it looks a bit nicer and add an options menu. Also want to implement the AR2 communication protocol so for the first alpha release AR3 and AR2 are supported.

I hope to have an alpha release ready somewhere next week.
[Android General] Area51©:
I guess it might work but I really don't know this model.

You just have to try it to know.
[Android General] Compromise:
Ever since I converted the GPS injector to system app (4.4.2), the loading screen would always be stuck at 50% for about 2 minutes, before reaching 75% and finally connecting. This happen to anyone else? I mean it's great that it always connects, but 2 minutes is quite a wait..
[Android General] ice_coffee:
Thanks for the update, that sounds awesome, i'm really looking forward to trying it.
[Android General] derrickmd18:
I have the appradio and I have a problem. The screen flickers. I tried a all in one adapter and it did it. Then I brought a cable master adapter and it wasn't working at all. Im on my 3rd adapter and I wanted to know if anyone else is having this problem?
[Android General] AKM03:
None of the adapters worked except for one that flicked off and on? Maybe try using the Samsung 2.0 MHL adapter. I have 1.0 doesn't work with the note 3 in the car but works on the TV.. Weird, but maybe the 2.0 version will work. I haven't gotten mine working either... But it's worth a shot. The only confirmed models of the note 3 working are the SM-N9005 American models from what I can tell in this forum. This is probably the last time I buy the international product... This is the second year where the international Samsung phones have lost popularity.
[Android General] leobg:
I started having that problem too. I'm not sure if it is related to injector though. I have it but it is not system app and still experience the issue. I'm thinking it is related to the amount of contacts in the phone. Appradio transfers all contacts every time it connects (I remember that from ARL) Mine was taking more than 2 mins - like 3 or 4.

Killed the nexus the other day... Got HTC one m8 now. And it has that same problem too!

Didn't seem to happen before though. There were also times when all my contacts would disappear, and I would have to reload them from memory. Not sure if this is related.

So my gear SM-N900W8 , stock rooted 4.4.2

My problem seems to be the BT connection, it connects fine to BT but then when I launch ARU and the click the icon on the head unit

It wants me to connect to BT, I click the settings button and it takes me to the BT connection screen, my phone is there but I get an error saying

there is no connection. I bought the ARU injector and followed the instructions there no problem.

Am i missing something simple here?

[Android General] Area51©:
On most HUs you have to set the bluetooth connection type to Others instead of the default Iphone. Did you do that?

If it still doesn't work, try to toggle the bluetooth to off and then on again on your phone when you are in the HU BT connection screen.

ARunchained is working on my Sprint Galaxy S5 and now I am trying to get it to work with an Allshare dongle. I cannot get it to connect....error "A screen Mirroring update has been downloaded and installed Restart..." Of course I try that and the error comes back. Are there any other options or a fix for this? Different dongle?

[Android General] lpasq:
Bottom line opinion on Viago navigation. The dollar app is solid but free Google Maps blows it away. If you go for the pricey in-app feature purchases, the app leaves little to be desired. Considering my familiarity with Garmin Streetpilot series for our vehicles, and Zoom series for our motorcycles, this (expensive) alternative makes Google Maps seem clunky, and makes Waze childish, and makes CoPilot seem outdated. I am hooked...

Success part 2

Couldn't be happier all works flawlessly, I will buy when you release new version.

I installed this ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2739968

Installing a new Rom and will report back

So I finally figured out that the source needed to be off first not sure why that messed me up.

I get the nice ARUnchained loading screen and its connected. I still cant control from the HU.

I have followed the ARU GPS injector (purchased from playstore)

I follow the screen setup for Arunchaine

Changed SELinux to permissive

Moved Injector to folder /4. Move 'mars.area51.arunchainedgps-1.apk' from 'data/app' to /system/app or /system/priv-app on 4.4.x

No touch on HU

[Android General] jhanson:
If you've put a modified kernel on it (right now the only known method for gettinx selinux permissive, which is needed for appradio unchained to work) allshare case/miracast won't work. Stupid samsung, I'm in the same boat.
[Android General] chico260:
so you're saying that allshare dongle only supports stock kernel which is enforcing instead of permissive. . correct?
[Android General] jhanson:
Yes, unfortunately, to use allshare cast/miracast on your phone you need the stock kernel. On the s4 there were ways to fake an official status (which also affected allshare cast) and disable selinux without a kernel... so far on the s5, there is not.
[Android General] FlyingHippo:
Phone must be rebooted?

Great app :) Thank you!

Works great except one minor thing:

I have have the SPH-DA110 and an old Galaxy S2 that i keep plugged in 24/7, in the glovebox.

Works great 9 out of 10 times, but once in a while it wont connect at all.

The bluetooth connects fine but the radio doesnt switch to the phone. I have tried unplugging the mhl adaptor and plugging it in again, but still nothing. the only solution is to reboot the phone :(

Do you have any idea what the problem could be?
[Android General] siddhamalli:
using samsung s5 and the touch is still not working using ARU

hi in the end you have told that you have told going to appradio input it works fine , are you saying you can do a swipe screen on the pioneer head and use it as a normal phone from the head unit .

[Android General] bodieism:
Well I started running into some connections issues yesterday. It connects to the radio for voice, but ARU is not for some reason. I managed to get a log:
[Android General] boooosted:
I tried searching for this problem but couldn't find it. My bluetooth works for music until I plug in my phone and run aru. As soon as I do it plays music through my phone instead of radio. I open up the bt settings on my phone and select the paired appradio 3 and then I select the box to play music through bluetooth but the box unchecks itself immediately. Anyone experience this or know how to fix it? Thanks
[Android General] Area51©:
I looked but it seems normal. In the logcat there's not much info about bt connection anyway. Are you sure your App Connection Settings is set to others?
[Android General] Area51©:
I think you can't play music through bluetooth from the same phone as the one you connect to with ARU. When in App mode the audio goes via HDMI.
[Android General] bodieism:
Yes, connection is set to others. I skimmed through earlier and remember something about auto pair failing or something. I'll see if I can find it, but I don't know if it's relevant or not.

Are you playing something through bluetooth? Maybe you have to stop that first?
[Android General] bodieism:
No, I do have some profiles setup in Tasker to start upon Bluetooth connection to the radio. I wonder if those could be interfering?
[Android General] boooosted:
So if I have my phone screen on the dash it won't play music? I have to have my phone unplugged to play? The original app radio app doesnt do this whether Im plugged in our not. Is this correct or am I misunderstanding? Does everyone here who plugs their phone is just listen to the music through their phone instead of car speakers?
[Android General] bodieism:
Mine will play music when not connected to HDMI if I click on the Bluetooth icon. It will play through HDMI when I connect it.
[Android General] boooosted:
So of it plays through hdmi, I get that but shouldnt it still play through the car radio? Sorry if I just dont understand this. Basically I just want to listen to music and run google nav both through the radio simultaneously.
[Android General] bodieism:
By playing through HDMI it plays on the car's speakers. I can listen to music and get voice directions through the car's speaker both when connected to HDMI and when not connected.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
i believe the issue you are having is due to the fact you most likely have your phone set to use speakerphone for audio when "docked"....

go into your ROM settings until you find the location of "audio when docked" and change it to "play through dock".

that will likely to fix ur issue.
[Android General] Area51©:
Yes it should play through the car radio. Only thing is that switching from audio over phone speaker to HDMI isn't always instantly. It may be that you have to restart the music player app before it realizes that it has to play through HDMI.
[Android General] nfaust01:

I believe that's a feature of the original app. I didn't change anything about that yet but when I do I will check what the app is doing with the GPS.

Connection troubles

Just got my Appradio installed and running and am having intermittent connection issues. Sometimes I plug it in and voila it works no problem. Other times it never connects. When it doesn't connect about 75% of the time turning the bluetooth off and on again fixes it. Other times I have to shut the car off, bluetooth off and unplug to get it to work. Even then I've had a few times where it just refuses to connect. I always show that the phone is charging through the cable which to me means I've got a solid connection there. I really want/need this to connect every time with out any fiddling from me or it is pretty useless for everyday driving.

My phone is a rooted S4 running Cyanogenmod ver 11.

I'm not familiar at all with the Pioneer AppRadio but if it charges the device while it's docked then you could enable the "Turn Daydreams on" setting, and let Daydreams keep the device awake.

Super excited that you guys are finding a good use for this app. Any other questions - xda thread is here.

AppRadio Unchained Reloaded

Worked some more on getting the Bluetooth connection bullet proof. It now handles anything, switching HU off/on, switching Bluetooth off/on and it always reconnects. Also implemented the automatic Bluetooth off/on toggle. Gives great connection results. With phonebook transfer disabled it connects in about 10 seconds.

Payday, Donation complete. Figured I might as well get in on the ground floor, and being one of the few running a Sony Xperia Z1, Im sure you need a guinea pig. 9GD212244S137214J.
[Android General] lpasq:
Welcome. AppRadio itself does not charge device. The phone >< head unit connections include HDMI cable and Bluetooth concurrently. The insane battery drain comes from adding the phone network radio, when driving, on a constant cell tower hunt and handoff, then add GPS when navigating. Some of us power phones from standard car 12v socket chargers, and others similarly but car battery hard wire. Some Pioneer units lead out an auxiliary USB port that could serve as a USB cable power source.

HAHA awesome! THe only reason I was logging on was to let you know that I saw this

[Android General] Area51©:
The phonebook transfer can only be disabled at pairing time. When you pair the HU, it will ask you to transfer the phonebook, then just click no. When you connect the next time it will ask you again, click no. From then on it won't ask anymore. You can do it now already.
[Android General] Area51©:
Don't get too excited, still have to test with more devices. Obviously I am limited to how well the Bluetooth stacks of the HU and the Phone work together. That means I can't guarantee it will be this fast for everybody. Indeed the preliminary results show a big improvement.
[Android General] Nelinski:
I've got a nexus 5 stock root and once connected the screen (app radio) flickers on and off (with the occasional snow). I tested the slimport in the house with the tv and watched 30 minutes of TV without any issues.

When testing in the car, the car wasn't running therefore no vibrations/bumps to disrupt the slimport adapter.

What could be causing this/how could I go about fixing this?

Thanks

p.s great app.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Two scenarios come to mind. One is you are running a custom kernel and it is underclocking, another is an unfiltered power feed causing issues. Had both of those in the past.
[Android General] kmckmc:
Are you using HDMI cable with ferrite beads?
[Android General] shaxs:
I had the same exact issue on my LG G2. Worked great in home but flickered. However, I changed to an HDMI cable with one that uses ferrite cores and it fixed the issue.
[Android General] Nelinski:
Stock kernel, what do you mean by unfiltered power feed?

Not even heard of ferrite beads so probably not.

How do ferrite cores stop the flickering?
[Android General] tech by trade:
Unfiltered, running right off the Altrenator causing the power supply to have noise on it. Filtered by a cap to ground or other types of filters. They are usualy built into the 12v to 5v converter to supply the USB plug, unless you have a real cheap one. If your supply is off the HU you should be fine, its filtered.

Ferrite creates a field that cancels out the noise and EMI giving a clearer signal. Not realy that important when working with digital because all you get is the whole signal or no signal. there is no way to switch the 1s to 0s

More likely a crappy HDMI cable if the problem is in the signal path. Knock off slim port/MHL adapters don't like to sit in vehicles, they get hot and tend to fail. They will work fine in the house. I am on my second one of those.
[Android General] Xen256:
Excellent to hear, this is the only thing that's ever finicky on my set-up with 4000NEX and GS3
