Awesome, thanks!
[Android General] r11ss:
Can anyone recommend the best hdmi stick to use. Also will it take the GPS from my f60dab (nex8000). Thanks
[Android General] Area51©:
I don't have the SP1003. I still have the old SP1002 which I bought more than a year ago from Amazon.co.uk. I guess then there were no fake Analogix adapters yet. I also don't have that HDMI cable. I was merely recommending what was reported here by several people as working well and solving problems they had.
[Android General] Area51©:
It's probably this issue (from the FAQ):

On my Samsung phone not the whole screen is shown but a part is cut off

A) The default Samsung launcher doesn't handle landscape well. The solution is to install an alternative like Nova launcher.
[Android General] Area51©:
I can recommend the MK809III. It has more than enough processing power (quad core) and Bluetooth works well. With my new ARU Reloaded app it boots, connects to the HU automatically & is ready for use in about 50 seconds.

One that I don't recommend is the MK908 even it seems virtually the same as the MK809III. I had problems with the Bluetooth connection until I found out that the range for a fast BT connection is like 1 foot (30cm).

Unfortunately you can't use the GPS from your F60DAB. Pioneer doesn't send the GPS data in AppRadio mode. Presumably because they want to sell you map upates for the built in navigation.
[Android General] s2kpdx:
So whenever I plug my phone into the mhl adapter, my screen just says HDMI connected, HDMI disconnected - over and over and over and over. Has anyone seen this issue???

It was working fine the other day too. Very strange....
[Android General] Area51©:
Broken adapter? Or maybe a power supply issue to the adapter?
[Android General] s2kpdx:
Tried swapping out the adapter already.... Same thing. I am getting power from a USB port on the radio, could that cause it??
[Android General] Area51©:
Or maybe it's the USB cable. Anyway, for testing you just could use another USB cable and maybe just a mains adapter with an extension cable.

Or try it with a TV so you don't have to be in your car.
[Android General] Meriem:
What about Tronsmart MK908 II ?

And what about Rikomagic MK802 IV ?

These sticks are 4 core improved from previous releases.

Anyone tried ?

---------- Post added at 09:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 AM ----------

What USB power does F60DAB (NEX8000) deliver ?

In the Pioneer manual ai read it is 1.6 ampere.

Is it reliable ?

Which external 2.5 usb drives work ?

Any compatibility list?

I plan to go with a MK stick and attach to it a 2.5 usb drive.

I presume Pioneer HU does not deliver usb power enough.

Anyone tried ?

Thanks
[Android General] r11ss:
I would be concerned about using the usb power supply on the unit. With an ipod and my phone connected I turned the music up and the whole unit shut off. Without the phone charging i have never had a problem.
[Android General] petard:
You can always use a car charger to power your phone or stick. I don't use the USB from my HU.

White dots at every connection-start?

Hi,

just installed ARU 0.16 on my Galaxy Nexus and everything works fine on the AppRadio3.

But one thing is annoying. Do I really have to push those white dots on every connection when starting ARU or is this a bug? I thought it would only be necessary at the first time, not every time.

Thanks,

pehe
[Android General] fritzum:
I FINALLY bought my apparadio and have some issues connecting my Motorola Photon Q (running CarbonRom) via Appradio Unchained 0.16.

Everything seems to work fine until I connect the phone via HDMI. I reach the screen calibration screen with the white dots - but this screen is only shown on the phone, not on the head unit.

However the touchscreen input via the head unit works.

Any ideas where i could start looking for the problem?

For testing purposes, I connected my phone to my TV via the same HDMI cable - works.

I also connected my laptop to the appradio via HDMI - works.
[Android General] dredq:
Paranoid ROM

I flashed the PA 4.4 ROM last night on LG G2. The LgG2 had finally been mirrorlinked reliably with the Stock ROM. Since I flashed the ROM I have not been able to connect. I think I am not doing something right.

I keep getting ARU-R denied SU access. I then go back and give it access in Superuser. The phone is seen on the HU. Sometimes it is full screen landscape sometimes it is in the center of the HU in portrait view taking up about 1/3 of the space. BT indicates it is connected, ARU-R states phone is connected to the HU. However the HU shows the green Android, but NO FLAG. So no BT connection.

I have moc location checked. Do I need to check or uncheck anything else?

What am I missing or forgetting to do. I am sure it is something stupid.

Thank you all PA users out there.
[Android General] Area51©:
Normally you have to finish it once, pressing the 4 white dots. The app stores an HDMI-id, when it detects another HDMI-id it wants to do calibration again. Normally the HDMI-id is the same but for some devices it's different every time they boot. There's a fix for that here: arunchained0.16a.apk
[Android General] Area51©:
I guess somehow the HU doesn't like the HDMI signal. ARU doesn't change anything to that so it can only be in the Android version you are using. Since you are running a custom ROM you could try to install the stock ROM and see if you then get a picture on the HU screen.
[Android General] Turbodanc:
Thanks for that ive installed it and that problem is now solved.

Next couple of problems is the touchscreen on the headunit only seems to work when i have both aru and arliberator installed at the same time. If i remove arl then it doesnt work.

Also my battery isnt charging at all when plugged in. It says its charging but just slowly goes down. I have bought a seperate hard wired usb power socket but its still the same when plugged into that or the headunit usb. I have read about the 500ma limit that needs removing with stweaks but it wont work with my kernel so any other ideas?

Thanks guys
[Android General] pehe:
Thank you! It works!

BTW:

Thie GPS Injector starts when I start ARU. Wouldn't it be possible to start it with the HDMI-Connection?
[Android General] AliMusa:
What exactly does the GPS injector do? And will it work with the appradio 3? Can I just use Google maps on my phone and mirror it onto the head unit?
[Android General] 400ixl:
It injects the readings from the AppRadio external GPS (where fitted) into the phone to save it having to use the phones one which drains more power.

AppRadio 3 supports the external GPS, so provided you have plugged it in then it can be used.
[Android General] AliMusa:
And all that needs to be plugged in is the phone into the slimport?
[Android General] Area51©:
Yes, GPS data is sent over Bluetooth as well.
[Android General] fritzum:
It works with the stock rom now!

But... now I can see the phone screen on the head unit, but I can't control my phone via the head unit's touchscreen...

The initial touch screen setup with the white dots worked, but then the touchscreen of the HU doesn't react anymore... :/

D'oh! Forgot rooting after flashing stock, now everything is fine! Yeehaa!
[Android General] seburton:
For me, GPS injector work only with specific apps like waze and Google map.

It don't work with other apps (icoyote, CamSam) (both apps are warning radar)
[Android General] popp12:
Thanks

This worked. No flicker at all Thanks
[Android General] mad212:
Can someone post a link to a android stick that is known to work with arunchained? I want to make sure i get the right one.

Hi

Any way to get this working without root (root, install, then unroot)? I don't get touch screen working if I don't have root. it will be very helpful as I don't want to keep my work phone root's. (HTC m8)

[Android General] 400ixl:
No, the touch injection requires root access. No touch without it.

Is there anywhere a manual how to set up a Stick and look for the requirements?
[Android General] ecsnead69:
Android Stick Users?!

If I were to start a thread in the Android TV Stick section of XDA dedicated to ARUnchained and Reloaded, would all you stick users be willing to lend some expertise in basically everything related to this particular setup?

I am talking everything from setup, settings, tweaks, ROMs, kernels, tips, etc. for everybody to join in to learn and discuss.

It would give a central place for all things Stick related and clean up this thread a great deal, make it more app specific.

I know I have been doing a lot of research into getting this setup in my vehicle and I am STILL a little fuzzy on some things. Something like this would be a great resource...

Anyway, let me know what you Stick Users think, its really pointless without your help... ;)
[Android General] leobg:
Seems to be exactly the one Area51 uses and reportedly works fine.
[Android General] mad212:
Great idea! Ive been using a phone but really need to switch to a stick due to rom issues.
[Android General] stargate125645:
What you need is a post that summarizes things and not necessarily an entirely new thread. Once someone figures out how to tether phone calls, text messages, and Google Now, I'll jump ship to a stick.
[Android General] MonkeyTime:
Like everything else, if it were that cut and dry, there would be a post like that. It's not, I think it's a great idea!

Calls can be done with bluetooth by just pairing the phone separately. Texts and Google Now are another matter
[Android General] dredq:
I think this is a great idea
[Android General] Meriem:
Well, nice idea.

In AppRadio world I start from zero because I have not installed a Pioneer HU in my car yet.

So I really never tried or figured the Appradio setup in official way.

So, my feedback on using ARU and everything's related to it will come later next month.

I may I say I just ordered two sticks: MK802 IV from Rikomagic and MK908 II from Tronsmart.

Basically, Android sticks are based on Rockchip chipset, so , I think, it will be the same question fro every stick.

Anyway, it would be fine to start a specific thread covering stick usage in the way you described.

---------- Post added at 09:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 AM ----------

No manual instructions at all.

Even for ARU there is not anything describing how to setup.

In Youtube we may find some clips like Area51 stated in OP thread.

Anyway I think it is:

1) unisnstall Pioneer APPRadio from your phone if already in;

2) install ARU on your phone;

3) BT pair your phone with your HU;

4) connect your phone to HDMI HUB cable and give power (MHL in Android world);

4) launch ARU and configure it.

5) install and use in your phone a landscape rotation app.

That's all (IMHO).

Hi

I do not totaly agree with you, I am on MK802IV and appradio-II that is a pain in the !!! works sometime but most of the time it dosent. I have working with this stick for nearly a year now with many differnt setups rom etc. ARU and GPS injector works perfect but as said phone is for me not an option. All good reports are with appradio-III

PS! I am on constandt power so no boot when starting my car. (Capsitor with diode to prevent power drop when car starts)

Working well using allshare cast. very love this app but i can't use the screen standby app that is recommended. it seems the screen standby app are giving reboot every time i try to turn off the screen / turn on the screen. any alternative app that i can use ? if possible to detect if the allshare is connected before running the off screen.
[Android General] stargate125645:
Seeing as a guide is an implied purpose of the new thread, your response doesn't make sense. No one is stopping anyone from making the thread. I'm just pointing out that the information is already here (I've asked the questions myself), so a new thread doesn't change that. There will need to be a guide on that thread, which can be done here, too. Same difference. I'm all for someone putting out a guide as a basis for questions. I'll jump ship under the right circumstances myself.

---------- Post added at 07:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 AM ----------

Since setting up your phone to pair separately for the purposes of phone calls implicitly prevents the use of Google Now to do voice calling, that's not really a good solution to replace a phone setup that works with all those things since I use those features.

[Android General] f1n4rf1n:
I am glad my workaround solved your problems as well :good:

Just upgraded my 8500BT to 8000NEX (F60DAB in EU) - everything related to ARU is still working.

Minor issues of the unit:

- you cannot 1-click-toggle between NAV and Appradio with the mode button

- you cannot mix the sound of NAV guidance with Appradio :crying:

- track buttons do not become "menu" and "back". Instead you have to double click the central button to fade in the sidebar and use the software buttons.

- Loudness and Bass Boost aren't available anymore.

To compensate that you get a better audio section, an incredibly well working onboard nav system and topping all off: a really responsive, much brighter screen.

Rikomagic RKM MK802IV stick works awesome! Pretty much flawless for me.

The stock jellybean version comes rooted already so no need to do that. I upgraded mine to kitkat and it was not rooted but with some research I rooted it.

I've tried custom roms and such and they suck.

It's super smooth, connects every time I turn it on.

It would be great to have a sub forum on here for stick discussion I'm sure I could help a lot when it comes to setup.

Note III + Nex 4000

Hello guys, Second post :P

I had a Pioneer Nex 4000 installed yesterday with rear cam. (works flawless)

Issue is AR. i have not been able to use AR to image my Note 3 to the unit at all.

Bluetooth has been established, as i can make and receive phone calls from the unit( cool feature lol)

I have installed ARunchained. Bluetooth is connected, but it says ready to connect on ARU :confused:

I had an HDMI cable and A Micro usb run to my glove box, that i hooked to an HML :confused: and all that is now connected to the phone.

That phone charges when the MHL is plugged in, however i cannot mirror my phone.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you

Does this work for iPhones or is there an iPhone alternative?
[Android General] rcurr1:
S5.

So this is interesting because we say the S5 can not connect because of the selinux... however, using just the stock appradio app, not aru, my waze will function flawlessly with touch on my s5.

I am no where close to you all in expertise, but my phone is rooted. Why will it work with the stock pioneer app, but not with aru?
[Android General] sukimu:

Its called Car Play, Pioneer said there will be an update this summer to bring carplay to iphone users. And its nice.:good:
[Android General] stargate125645:
The stock pioneer application does not inject touch events to all applications; it only works with ones programmed to be compatible. Ergo, it doesn't need permissions that ARU does. People would not use ARU if it did not offer significant advantages, the primary of which is the ability to use any application rather than just a small handful.

---------- Post added at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 AM ----------

It's not the same thing that ARU offers. It is much closer to the stock application.

Waiting to receive a Motorola Droid 4 that I just bought on eBay. Looking to purchase the SPH-DA210 right after I get the phone rooted and setup. Looks like I should be OK with just purchasing a generic (high quality) HDMI cable as opposed to the expensive Pioneer Android Cable Kit (CD-AH200C) and charging with a regular USB cable.

Any suggestions, tips and tricks for setup is appreciated. FWIW, I've read a large majority of the 600+ pages of this thread :cool:

[Android General] Area51©:
It's still being tested by 90+ people. I plan to do alpha release 0.07 soon. That will add some connection improvements, diagnostics & real screen calibration. Then improve the graphics of the App (someone is helping me with that). Finally have it tested for a bit after that and then do a public release to the Play store.
[Android General] defenderctr:
For some of the reasons you mentioned and few others (plus the cost difference) I actually opted to get the 8500BHS over the 8000NEX to work with Unchained.

You mention the 8000NEX has a more responsive screen. How much over the 8500?

I didn't realize it until I got it, the HU is obviously not as sensitive as a phones display as far as touch is concerned. Of course I should have figured as much, but now I have to be really deliberate with my presses or it doesn't register the press or motion. Either way just trying to gauge the difference between the generations as far as the touch is concerned. Thanks.

Root Access without system write protection

I have a Republic Wireless Moto X 4.4.2 with locked bootloader. I found I could still root the phone using an app called "towelpieroot" which allows root access but does not disable system write protection. Apps that check for root access list my phone as being rooted successfully. I installed ARunchained and can mirror the phones display on the Appradio2 but the phone does not respond to touchscreen or button inputs on the radio.

Will I be able to get touchscreen input from the Appradio2 without disabling system write protection?

Hi, got an SPH DA100 head unit, usion ARU and it works pretty well, get the odd fuzzy screen but otherwise its brilliant.

only problem i have ( and the main reason i bought the unit was for this use ) is that sat nav will not work at all.. i have tried both Google navigation and NavFree and neither work. i can load them up and it starts fine but when the navigation actually starts it just freezes. The Head unit has a GPS antenna and the ARU app is set to inject gps. ive tried turning that off but still nothing happens.
