Yeah, I know it comes unlocked. You have the carrier that is the last helpful in putting my fears to rest. :( I don't suppose you are on the stock kernel? If you are, the kernel on Verizon is probably similar in regards to SELinux.
[Android General] seburton:
That's it! Thank's a lot.

Now appmode is working, touchscreen to :)

But when i plug my phone, audio isn't working (it work only when i receive a call, not for the music).

I think it's a problem from the phone.

Audio only work when my phone is unpluged...Strange no?

I'm using slimport and no MHL, it can come from that?
[Android General] Slash8915:
Yep, stock ROM and Kernel. All I really changed was that I switched to ART, flashed TWRP, and removed the bloatware. Everything else is the same.
[Android General] stargate125645:
Well that's would seem to be good news for me, but I'd still like confirmation from a Verizon owner.

Some phones do that. My Galaxy S3 is the same. I guess the thought process is why would you need to stream audio via BT when you can do it via HDMI? Other phones may be able to connect via media BT while you are connected with HDMI on yours - I've not tried that.
[Android General] monkeyracer:
Having a hard time getting this to work with the S5. I've got a ROM that says:

I downloaded SELinux Mode Changer and set it to permissive.

I have SU granting permission to ARU, and all bluetooth connections work fine.

I don't get touch control.

I tried the terminal editor (everything in the original posts) and got nowhere.

I tried Xposed with Wanam and have the two options checked to "Disable Knox Notifications" and "Disable SEAndroid"

Still nothing...

I tried a different ROM and I was able to get touch control working (at least for a little while, lost touch control about halfway into a 50 mile trip...)

But, I had a lot of issues with the ROM, even with full wipe and flashing, and generally just didn't like the ROM overall.

What else am I missing? What else can I try?
[Android General] DJHile:
Have you tried a different kernel that had SELinux set to Permissive?

LG G3

I have the Verizon Lg G2, and I have yet to get it to work with App3 using ARU or ARU-R. I have heard that it works well with Paranoid and CM11 rom. I am about to move to Paranoid... Good luck with your purchase. Lg G2 is great.

You may want to double check the BT setting on your phone that media is still checked. I have found that when I try to connect sometimes the BT Media becomes unchecked, unplug phone it becomes checked again.... This is on a Verizon Lg G2.

I get this screen and press ok and the screen comes back several times and then goes black. The ok is not greyed out. Could this be a faulty bypass? Thanks.
[Android General] stargate125645:
I wouldn't think the G2 different. Have you tried turning off SELinux? Sounds like a faulty bypass, but admittedly I am not sure.

---------- Post added at 01:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 AM ----------

Area51, do you think it possible to develop a quick tool to determine if the necessary remote access to inject touch events is available on a rooted phone? Seems it would be very helpful to potential users of newer phones especially. We could have current users install it and run the check before we buy the phone. Just a thought...

Can someone confirm which version of Android is required to make the Google Now setup work with the AppRadio 3? I have heard 4.3 is required, and 4.4.4, so I'd like to know for sure since newer phones do not come with 4.4.4 if they aren't a Nexus.

Finally, is there a definitive guide to setting up and using an Android stick? It would be much less stressful to upgrade phones if we could just use tethered WiFi and an HDMI stick, with no root necessary to the phone. The setup procedures I've seen on here seem overly complicated.

ARU guide

Hello guys,

I will install an Appradio3 unit and would like to know the steps in Android environment needed to follow:

1) on Pioneer unit set OTHER connections;

2) turn BT on on my phone and pair it with Pioneer unit;

3) execute ARU on my phone

4) execute ARU INJECTOR on my phone

5) extecute APPRADIO on Pioneer unit

Is this sequence rght to get full touch control of my phone from Pioneer unit ?

More, is there anything to automate all the sequence?

Thanks
[Android General] seburton:
Thanks for your answer.

Thanks [MENTION=5893269]dredq[/MENTION]

I think I misspoke.

During a call, everything worked fine. And audio was streamed over Bluetooth but when I play any sound on the phone, nothing was working.

If you look at the pictures of my Pioneer you will see that the sound icon is not active while phone and touchscreen work just fine.

I think I find a clue. I changed rom and kernel on my phone and today everything is working fine.

You're right, audio is send to the car by hdmi and not Bluetooth.

I don't know why it didn't workerd with the configuration of my phone yesterday but now it's OK and it's awesome...

Thanks everybody for your help and for you area for your awesome app :)

Hi, I randomly get a white screen with noise with my ar3 and HTC One. I already bought the original cables but same Problem. I dont think its an aru error. But have someone any solution?

[Android General] Area51©:
This week I intend to add Diagnostics & Calibration to ARU Reloaded. so I guess that could be used. A separate app would be too much work for now.

No there is no guide yet but it isn't very complicated.

1) Root stick

2) Install ARU or ARU-R.

3) Install Xposed & Per-App settings

4) Set DPI for the apps that you use while driving
[Android General] leobg:
If the OK button is not grayed out then the bypass should be doing its job. And once you press on the OK button to dismiss the message, it should not come back on until you restart the car. At least that's how it works for me (AR2)
[Android General] italynstylion:
Actually, this happens to me sometimes. I just hit the Appradio home button (the physical button on the unit in the middle) to return to the unit's home screen. Then I click on the green android guy again to launch back into Appradio mode and the warning will show again but with the OK button active this time.

---------- Post added at 08:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 AM ----------

I confirmed yesterday that this makes the connection sequence MUCH faster. Thanks for the advice!
[Android General] tech by trade:
Found another trick that might work for people that are having issues with connecting. I turned off autoconnect on the head unit under the blutooth menu. I found that some times it would time out on the auto connect before my phone would connect. Since I did that it hasnt failed once. It connects in under 10 seconds each time, plugged in before I start my truck, or after its running. My Appradio 3 is what it should have been from the factory now. :good:
[Android General] MonkeyTime:
I can't wait to try this, great suggestion!
[Android General] stargate125645:
Well, we'd have to have someone purchase ARU Reloaded to test it out. If it were in ARU, it wouldn't be a problem. No worries if it's too much work; it was just a thought. I don't suppose you know of any applications to test for things like touch injection capability right now? Even if it just tests for the access required it would be adequate.

Regarding the HDMI stick, I was under the impression I would need a BT keyboard or some other accessories for initial setup. Is that not the case? We should probably get a generic guide written, which I can definitely do if I get one up and running. I have a few questions to answer, though, still (these correspond to your procedural numbers above):

1) I need one with an SD card slot so I don't have to stream music from my actual phone. The MK809IV that I've seen people talk about does not appear to have that. Suggestions? Fast start up within 1 minute is also preferable, without having to keep it on when I'm out of the car. I have a 3A USB charging device but it is only on when the car is on as it is set up now.

2) Straightforward, but will I be able to install ARUr on all devices with a single license as long as I use my Play Store account on all those devices?

3) I am hoping these are to what you are referring:

* http://www.addictivetips.com/android/what-is-xposed-framework-for-android-how-to-install-it-guide/

* https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.perappmodes

Additionally, is Taskr not used for this because Per-App is simpler? Does Xposed install like a normal application or do I need to run it via recovery (or something similarly abnormal)?

4) What do I set DPI with? One of the applications from number 3?

Does anyone have experience with tethered WiFi and trying to use navigation? I fear it would be slow... How do phone calls work with the phone when another device is connected via HDMI instead? Seems to me that would screw up the Google Now stuff if asking it to call a contact, for example - and this assumes that you can connect 2 devices at once to the head unit via BT, and that those devices can be properly managed.
[Android General] Area51©:
Ok, you need a mouse for initial setup.

The MK809III that I have has an OTG port and an SD card slot. I think most sticks have that.

Yes.

These are the correct links:

http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer

http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.mods.appsettings

With AppSettings.

I still have to try this. You can always use navigation that has offline maps. I tried Tomtom and it works fine.
[Android General] ecsnead69:
What would be the advantage of using an android stick over your phone, especially since you lose the ability for using the phones real time maps/navigation? Wouldn't you also lose everything that requires a data connection? Pandora, chrome, etc? Thanks
[Android General] ikerg:
You can theter WiFi from your phone to the stick.... And you will have Google maps...

My intention is to have an stick with TomTom installed....GPS data is received from HU by GPS injector.

If internet connection is required for other purposes (g maps....spotify...tunein...Pandora...) By thetering your phone connection you are done.

Additionally you can make and receive calls from/To the stick by an app that was mentioned in this thread before....

All the sticks have microsd slot, big USB port and two microusb ports (one for charging)

You can expand your music/data by pendrive or SD...

I think the stick ia the easiest way to have a full android system running over appradio.

And..for 50bucks.....

Does the mouse plug into an external USB port or something? Otherwise, I'm not sure how I'd set it up. What's your boot up time for the MKIII? The newest one doesn't come with 4.4 yet so not sure how to get Google Now to work, unless these sticks work with AOSP. Also, I need capability for a 64GB microSD card, and the mk809 seem to have 32GB only from Amazon's descriptions.

What application is that for tethering phone calls?

So I have searched and searched but I can't seem to find a definitive answer to this question - Am I out of luck with my AT&T Note 3 (locked bootloader)? I can't get SELinux set to permissive due to not being able to flash kernels. I can get the screen to mirror just fine, but all I get is the red X telling me I can't use touch controls. The regular appradio app works just fine, but I can't get unchained or ARLiberator to give me touch controls....

I have a LG G2 with Slimport adapter and ARUnchaned, and what I believe to be a 2A hardwired USB to the slimport adapter instead of using the AppRadio USB. It still can't charge the phone while running Waze. Is there anyone using a Slimport adapter to LG G2 that is able to charge Or at least maintain? If I am not using my AppRadio3 and simply plug in to my cigarette adapter and run Waze and Pandora at the same time, my phone charges just fine and doesn't get too warm, but plugged into Appradio3, my phone gets wicked hot and looses charge. I am fully rooted, so I can try whatever.

I have been trying to get my LgG2 to connect with an App3. Are you using a custom Rom? If you are; which custom Rom are you using? Custom or stock kernel? What carrier do you use? GSM or CDMA? Thank you so much for the info. I truly appreciate it.
[Android General] desantim:
I have a hard wired USB connector in my FJ (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007O59Z7I/ref=ox_ya_os_product_refresh_T1), directly connect to my phone, no issue charging the phone while turned on and running any programs. Plugged into my Slimport adapter, it drains the battery while connected to my 4000nex. This has nothing to do with the headunit itself, the Slimport is connected to the HDMI which has nothing to do with charging, what this does have to do with is the Slimport adapter.

The issue is, very few slimport adapters function as we want them, I tried two off brands and both immediately cut my GPS signal off upon plugging them in to my phone, literally it shut it off. You'd watch the bars in one of the GPS testing programs go from 10ft of accuracy to infinite and the GPS would shut off.

Found an Analogix 1002, works with the GPS although still the phones GPS signal drops to lower numbers with it, but at least it "works", but charging is substantially lower.

I can confirm that the LG G2 will fast charge via the slimport with Dorimanx kernel.

My Verizon G2 will only charge, albeit, very slowly when only streaming spotify or pocket cast. Anything using GPS drains the battery. I am running Paranoid Android, latest version available.
[Android General] petard:
If you mean still use the bluetooth voice calling with your phone yeah it's easy. After you have the stick connected and all working go into the bluetooth options on the stick and untick the "Phone Audio" checkbox for the appradio. Then pair your phone to the appradio (don't have any AppRadio app on your phone). It should work. Works for me.
[Android General] stargate125645:
Then how does the head unit handle Google Now activation if you aren't tethering your phone calls to the HDMI stick?
[Android General] petard:
Google Now doesn't work as well. If you activate the voice command feature from the head unit then it will run on your phone. The head unit microphone is not routed to the stick so if you open Google Now there it won't be able to hear you.
[Android General] ecsnead69:
So how do you get Google Now to work with an android stick setup?
[Android General] taiguy:
Will also confirm that it will fast charge with the dorimanx kernel. I had the same problem as you prior to changing my kernel. I'm on the Sprint LG G2 (LS980) with AppRadio 3 and ARU.

As far as I know, there's no way to turn off the phone's screen while keeping the image still up on the head unit. This unfortunately presents a larger drain on the battery and heats up the phone.

The next best thing I've been able to come up with is using an aftermarket backlight control app like Lux . I got Lux back when I had a Galaxy S3, as the auto-dim feature on the S3 was absolutely miserable. I combine Lux with Tasker (there's a Lux plugin) so when my phone connects to the head unit, it will 1) lock the display to landscape orientation but also 2) manually set the display brightness to 0%.

This keeps the image on the headunit while essentially turning off the backlight on the phone. I don't think it's completely off but it's very close.

When the bluetooth connection is broken, the backlight is set to auto and recalibrated.
[Android General] ecsnead69:
I've seen several YouTube videos that show the phone displays off while using the head unit. They were using an app called Second Screen I believe. Also saw another app used but don't remember the name....
[Android General] stargate125645:

I just tried it out today with my at&t g3 (rooted stock ROM, stock kernel) and it works great with v15 didn't get it to work with 16.

Hope that helps people who were asking about g3 compatibility
[Android General] ikerg:
Yes. And only for the first setup...you can configure the BT connection in order the mouse was non longer needed as it could connect to HU with touch.

40 seconds. I know is high...but people are connecting directly to the car batt in order not to switch off. Perhaps to a power bank with some kind of cooling....I will investigate deeper.

Some ROM builders have released Kitkat versions for almost all quad core sticks

You 're right. But there are present 1 microsd slot and two USB ports that are both free once the first setup is done. You can plug USB sticks with 32g on each...(at least in two of them...I have not tried the other but I guess it works too - when connected to my TV always a wireless USB receiver is plugged for a fly mouse controlling. It seems that you could have 96gb at once). I read that people could connect USB hard disks...so in terms of storage is not limited

I don't remember...go back into this thread. I have not my appradio yet. I own the TV stick with my TV.

OK, I have a question for the stick users. Other than Google Now, is there anything that can't be done using the stick over a phone? Does anything like touchscreen, Maps, Nav, etc not work as if you were using a phone? I know that the phone can be paired with Bluetooth separately so hands free will work with calls, but is there anything else that won't function on the stick like it does on the phone?

Also, I have researched some sticks and was wondering if there is really any difference? Are there any that are better than the rest? And as far as rooting, do most come ready to just install superuser and busybox? I can't seem to find any "how to root....." threads for sticks....
[Android General] Aircraft800:
I am on a stock ROM, Stock kernel, I only enabled the developer mode and allow moc locations. Have you double checked that you are using a Slimport Adapter? A HML Adapter will not work on a LG G2. Also, you need to change in the settings prom iPhone to Other. AppRadio 3 will ask you to unplug the cord, turn off bluetooth, and plug it in and enable or something like that, you must do that in order to be able to change the phone setting from iPhone to Other. I had a lot of trouble getting mine working at first, then I purchased the correct adapter and folowed the onscreen directions.

I have my phone rooted now so I can run ARUnchained, but that was only recently.

I have this slimport adapter:

It works well, but my battery drains too. Are you saying a different Slimport Adapter will allow it to charge faster? I have a hardwired USB adapter plugged into the adapter, but maybe it's not performing like it's suposed to. I'll try a different USB plugged into the Slimport and see if it helps.

I installed the Dorimanx kernel, the newest beta, but my battery still drains. Maybe my hardwired USB is the culpurit.

[Android General] ikerg:
You can put/receive calls from.the stick to the phone or just use the phone by Bluetooth simultaneously with your stick connected both to the headunit

I think you can do almost the same...

Remember that you are driving...I don't know what the people could do while driving!!!

It is an autonomous android system controlled by your display touch.

Audio/video/playstore everything works

Phones are better built in terms of electronics.... But keep In mind your are saving the most expensive component...the display.

All of them (or almost all) come rooted. If not...as the main chip is the same (rockchip 3188/3188T) you will easily find a way to root it.

Between sticks there are no major differences, except for the reliability.

All of them are made by chinise companies (not known brands) and sold by Chinese market (aliexpress/geekbuying/) that claim long time free shipping from China.

Minor differences are related on WiFi/BT chip sets and the most important thing is that the stick has support (official or unofficial) which provides you better ROM versions.

A common issue ia the low transfer rate/performance of the WiFi. It should been solved with the correct drivers/ROM enhancements.

My advice...look into the forums (freaktab) and buy a supported one (finless & neomode are the ROM cookers).

I've also been on Dorimax by way of Vanir's Rom for my LG G2 for months now, and no go for the fast charging making a lick of difference. Either A, my charger isn't up to the task, or B, the Slimport adapter doesn't allow for either fast charging or enough juice to get to my phone. Either way, it doesn't work, although the slimport adapter I have is what everyone suggests as the most reliable one to use.

One other question, how does the on screen keyboard work? Is it native and just works on the display like the phone? Also, with Maps, do you use your phone with tether or can the stick use the HU and GPS Injector?
[Android General] dredq:

As I have not my appradio yet, I couldn't answer to that questions but I can give my guesses that should be confirmed by area51 (who owns and uses android stick with appradio)

Floating keyboard is native to android TV stick, nothing to do with telephone

As my understanding stick gets data by WiFi tethering from your phone and gps data by Bluetooth specific profile from he HU. By this way you have internet connection from your phone data plan and GPS from head unit (By GPS injector) without compromising your phone's batt.
