Any phone will do. The best thing to do is decide for yourself. Flash a prerooted stock 4.3 ROM or wait for a prerooted stock 4.4 ROM (usually KNOX crap removed). I would try the 4.4 ROM first and see how it behaves, but 4.4 kernel issues on Samsung devices have been an issue lately. You will most likely have less issues if any with a rooted 4.3 ROM.

Pair Android stick and Phone

Sorry it took time to get back on this. I cleared all bluetooth memory form the AppRadio. Then with the stick booted up and bluetooth on, I made the stick visible to other bluetooth devices. Then I went to the AppRadio Phone settings and selected "Other Connections" and selected "Other Phone." This came up with a pin code. I hit close and went back to the advanced app mode and in the setting of the Android stick (Bluetooth) I clicked on AppRadio. The two paired. All the way to the right there is a button for the bluetooth option. I selected that (Mine was a little square with 3 lines in it.) The options were Rename Device, Unpair, and then at the bottom is listed Use as phone profile (or something similar.) To the right of that there was a check box that was checked. I unchecked it. I all goes properly the two should be paired and the Android stick should not be paired as a phone profile. This will allow you to pair your other phone with the Phone profile (Use the regular settings for pairing the phone.) Good luck hopefully it works for you.

The key is you can only have 1 device paired as a phone profile. So make sure the Android stick is not paired as a phone.

touch screen on ar3 not working

The Story:

I previously had it working on my samsung galaxy S4 sprint with no issues. Then i had to turn in that phone because of a cracked screen. Rooted and installed the latest apk on new samsung galaxy s4 sprint. It connects fine but unable to use touchscreen, did i miss a step. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

What Android version are you running now? If 4.3 or higher you also have to disable Knox and set SELinux into permissive mode.
[Android General] mikek753:
try this:

1. unlock cell phone

2. turn BT on

3. power on AR3 (just on or start car engine)

4. wait till AR3 connects to the phone over BT - may take 3-20 sec

5. plugin cell phone to AR3 to get HDMI connected - may take 1-5 sec

that order was the most reliable way for me to get touchscreen working

no, I don't know why connecting BT after HDMI makes appradio connection got stuck? but, that what happened to me.
[Android General] hwardlaw01:
I have the same setup with a Samsung GS4

1st unpair the phone and unistall the aru app

then download and install an app called Android Terminal Emulator then open a terminal and type the following lines pressing enter after each line:

Command 1: su (then press enter)

(This will grant Android Terminal Emulator superuser permission)

Cmmand 2: pm disable com.sec.knox.seandroid (then press enter)

(you should get a response that says disabled) (if you get killed its cause you spelled android wrong)

Command 3: setenforce 0 (then press enter)

(theyll be no response to the line command)

reinstall aru and pair devices should work after initial configuration (pressing the dots)

you may have to turn the car off and back on, but fix should stay on phone until you restart it

If this doesn't work and your bootloader isn't locked you can try to install this kernel that was reported working by someone:

The kit came with my hu.

And I bought a s3 adapter from ss website.

As crazy as this sounds it made all the difference for me to get things working. After I cleared Bluetooth Memory on the HU and reconnected it was instantly working flawlessly. Hope this helps someone.

Clearing Bluetooth memory On Your Pioneer HU

Important

This setting is available only when you

stop your vehicle in a safe place and apply

the parking brake. (or have the parking break over ride ;)

CAUTION

Never turn this product off while the

Bluetooth memory is being cleared.

1 Press the HOME button to display

the Top menu screen.

2 Touch the following keys in the

following order.

a) Settings

b) Bluetooth

The “Bluetooth” screen appears.

3 Touch [Bluetooth Memory Clear].

4 Touch [Clear].

The confirmation screen appears.

5 Touch [OK].

The Bluetooth memory is cleared.

If you do not want to clear the memory,

touch [Cancel].
[Android General] bk73w:
Actually, it works pretty good. Hooked it up and took the end wire from the cd-mh200 and plugged it into the back of the HU and plugged into the power port.

Really just a quick fix to get it working XD not need to bash, and no one's wasting the forums time.
[Android General] bk73w:
Also another quick fix for some reason if you go the AR unchained app then Bluetooth setup, click the first BT setting, if it is connected click to disconnect, then click to re-connect.
[Android General] codee:
Glad it's working for you! You got lucky :D
[Android General] bk73w:
Anyone know of an app that works better than "screen standby root"? Trying to get rid of all the loose ends. Sometimes when I connect it's a PITA to get it working properly, I.e. Just blatantly won't connect, will connect but screen is not in landscape. Just want it to work every time I connect it. Any suggestions?
[Android General] codee:
I would recommend checking out "car home ultra" you can set it to launch and run in landscape automatically and have a 2nd launcher almost for car mode. It's a really cool app and perfect for this setup. I use screen standby as well and everything connects and is at my car home screen within 5 seconds of plugging it in.

Just curious why you just got done telling me that your generic adapter works great and then your next post is asking why your setup doesn't work very good?
[Android General] bk73w:
The cord itself works perfectly. It's just sometimes the BT does not connect properly when I plug the cord it says BT connection failed, then when I click retry or ignore it reconnects and is in portrait mode. Again no need to bash.. And no I didn't get lucky, just a little research, and simple deduction will go a long way.

Anyone know if an htc wireless mirror link would work with this?
[Android General] tortiz1:
I'm having the same problem with my T Mobile Note 2 (Stock Rooted with Mr. Robinson 4.3 Rom). AppRadio Unchained connects easily with blue tooth, but I'm having issues with HDMI. I've tried 3 different "fast" HDMI cables to Samsung's MHL 2.0 ( ET-H10FAUWESTA) and no dice when pressing apps. It only shows Apps with an X next to it. There have been videos of people connecting with the Samsung Allshare cast dongle. I tried this also. I was able to mirror my screen perfectly on my Sharp Aquos TV using the Allshare cast dongle. When I tried this method on the AVH-4000NEX it would try to connect and then it would disconnect. I'm thinking that maybe we got a bad batch of 4000NEX head units with bad HDMI inputs at the head unit?
[Android General] codee:
Did you try a different kernel? You can't do allshare using a rooted phone though, I tried at first and failed.

I had problems at first but soon as I flashed a custom kernel that was in SELinux permissive mode it worked perfectly.
[Android General] tortiz1:
I tried the Devil Kernel, which gave me the same results. The Allshare dongle needs to have stock recovery, or else it will not connect or it will reboot the Note 2. The Allshare cast didn't work for me until I went back to stock recovery (still rooted) and it worked fine with my Aquos TV, but not with the 4000NEX. What radio do you have?
[Android General] codee:
I have the appradio 3 (SPH-DA210). In the end I stopped playing around with the wireless display since I figured I would usually plug it into power anyways so I might as well plug the MHL adapter in lol
[Android General] tortiz1:
I have the 4000NEX I think it might be an issue with this unit, based on the person I replied to originally. I want to say that some 4000nex units have a bad HDMI input. I might need to take a blue ray player outside just to verify.
[Android General] basmand:
Thanks for your help, I will try this later today!

Update

Unfortunately it will not work for me, as soon as I turn off "Use phone sound" in Bluetooth option it disable my Bluetooth connection with stick. (your option "Use as phone profile (or something similar.) To the right of that there was a check box that was checked. I unchecked it") But I will work with this solution, just wonder if it is possible to change ROM not to show up as phone.

Connection works like a charme using an I9005 with Omega V18 custom ROM + Original Samsung MHL adapter

There's just 1 question:

The resolution on the radio doesn't properly fit the resolution of the phone. The lower 1/3 of the screen is cut off. Is there any work-around for this issue?

Great app, tbh

Thank you!
[Android General] thorosso:
Resolution

Hi, the workaround I found for the resolution problem in appradio, was installing a different launcher. Nova launcher solved my problem!
[Android General] clutchputter:
I would suggest plugging in your phone before turning on car. And have BT on already. That is the onlybway that works for me to connect successfully each time.
[Android General] cvondra:
Try clearing the Bluetooth cache, phone plugged into hdmi and bluetooth on before starting car. It cleared up all problems for me. I had been trying different phones etc, pretty sure when I got it down to pairing with one phone from a clean start in bluetooth communication worked smoothly.
[Android General] fwaqo:
So there's no setting either on the radio nor the phone I am missing?

Ty for the advice so far!
[Android General] Area51©:
Apparently there's 2 settings on the 8000NEX you have to set right for proper connection: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52187431&postcount=4296

Probably 4000NEX has these settings too, did you set those?
[Android General] Area51©:
No, standard Samsung launcher doesn't handle landscape well.
[Android General] fwaqo:
Thank you then!

Keep up the good work :cool:
[Android General] tortiz1:
Hi Area51. I set the settings to Other and HDMI when I installed the radio. I've verified these settings several times. I cleared the bluetooth cache as well and still no luck. The Appradio App connects to the unit with no issues and I'm able to make phone calls using Bluetooth. I've also tried the stock version of AppRadio with still the same luck. The HDMI symbol stays grayed out and does not turn a color. I'm going to have to find another work around. Perhaps another ROM? I thought stock was the best way to go, but I'm just not able to connect.

Here are my settings so far:

What mhl adapter are you using? The pioneer, samsung, or aftermarket?
[Android General] tortiz1:
I'm using the Samsung ET-H10FAUWESTA that was recommended on the Pioneer website. I bought it from Best Buy in their Samsung section of the store, so I know it's not a fake. Also it didn't connect with the Samsung Allshare cast either, even though I was able to mirror the Note 2 onto my TV.

ChromeCast and Mirror

So I got a ChromeCast to try Koush's Mirror app on my 8500BHS.

While Mirroring works OK when connected to my home wifi network, it didn't work when I was tethering on my Nexus 5.

I supposed Mirror app requires Wifi on my phone to be on. But I can't turn Wifi on while tethering.

So that's the catch 22. It works but not really practical.

Bumned!:(

Hopefully someday some smart person will figure out how to Mirror with ChromeCast while tethering.
[Android General] bk73w:
Use this. Go Launcher HD modified to work with smaller displays. Then use Xposed settings to adjust the dpi that best fits your radios display. Use Tasker & secure settings to make this the default home Launcher so when you hit the radio's home button it will go back to this. Works pretty good for me so I can have all my music widgets front and center then phone hangouts and maps on the bottom bar. Hope it helps.

I am unfamiliar with your device. My best advice is to see what is available and then look at user complaints. Whatever is the most stable by user vote should be the one you choose.

Desperate for help

I'm having a seemingly strange problem, I haven't been able to find any documentation on it, so I post here as a last resort. I'd really appreciate some help.

So I've rooted my phone correctly (HTC One X M7 with 4.4.2), I have SPH-DA110 (AppRadio3) as a head unit. When I start up AppRadio Unchained, (after super granting access etc.), it just stays at the "ready to connect" phase. I'm able to connect to bluetooth fine, even able to play music and makes calls with the deck, but in appradio it doesn't seem to detect the connection.

I'm also certain my wire works, because I am getting a mirror of my phone. It's just not launching the ARUnchained presumably, because I can't use the touchscreen when mirroring and there is no audio.

I've tried almost every order of unplugging and plugging back in, connecting and disconnecting bluetooth, no luck. Any insight would be greatly appreciated, I've put a lot of money into getting this going and it's such a strange problem!

Thanks a ton guys.
[Android General] clutchputter:
I have the AT&T M8. There is a certain order I go about eachtime . I always keep BT on whether connected to AppRadio or not. At least have it turned on before powering up radio.

1. Plug phone in and unlock

2. Start car and press OK when prompted.

3. Toggle parking brake bypass switch.

4. Wait about 20 sec or so and you should get another safety screen to press OK. Press OK and you should be good.

I never have to mess with BT settings as long as I follow this order. I used to have LG G2 and worked the same way. I now have M8 and works the same way on either GE ROM or SENSE ROM.
[Android General] bk73w:
Go to app radio and make sure it is connected as others and not iPhone if it is iPhone disconnect cord and BT, delete BT profile on head unit, restart head unit go to settings, change ipod to others, do not connect BT, go to AR unchained app and go to how to connect BT and click the first option then select your head unit then connect and profit.

---------- Post added at 03:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:32 PM ----------

Dido, noticed that on my M7 aswell no need to toggle my bypass or wait 20 sec tho. Another thing is to make sure the AR unchained app is ALWAYS running in background makes the connection a lot more fluid. Any way of making AR unchained app a system app so it's always running?

I don't have arunchained running as system app. But I suppose you can use titanium backup to convert to system app. Thats what I used to convert the arunchained gps injector app to a system app
[Android General] Jobby4:
Hello guys, sorry for such a silly first post. I am running a rooted note two with an appradio 2. On my original 4.1.2 firmware (rooted) everything was working perfectly, however I updated to 4.3, which I rooted, and now I can't even fully connect on bluetooth. I have tried to reset the bluetooth paring, tried to connect from both radio or phone first, tried a different kernel (agni kernel) and used a piece of software to make the kernel se Linux permissive. However whatever I do the phone never goes past the connecting stage of the initial screen when the bluetooth attempt is trying to fully connect. From the head unit it shows pairing to approx 75 percent, then it fails. I have not got to the point where the hdmi lead allows you to connect into the head unit. I am satisfied the cable etc is original, and that everything was working perfectly prior to the upgrade. Does anyone have any ideas as am absolutely stuck.......

Thanks

Joe
[Android General] Area51©:
It could also be that your head unit is faulty.Did you try to connect something else with a hdmi out connection?
[Android General] Area51©:
Yes but link doesn't work for me. Have another way?
[Android General] dasaint80:
No.... So the HDMI is just straight video? How do I switch to it? When I had my Google cast nothing came up to click on the apps icon ... I'll try my laptop tomorrow
[Android General] Area51©:
I checked, nothing really new. I fails at the first step where it's tried to open the /dev/uinput device.

That just fails. Even when you manually set the access rights this afternoon, it also fails.

What program do you use to set the root acces rights?

I use SuperSU.

Anyway do you see ARU requesting access rights?
[Android General] Area51©:
Yes. When you connect something with HDMI the apps icon should light up. When you press that and then you press ignore, you should be able to see the signal.

I just tried it for you with my laptop and it works.

I think you guys have just solved my problem. I'm gonna swap the HDMI cable to see if it's that if not Im gonna swap it out for a replacement!!

[Android General] stewbuntu:
I went with iDatalink-Maestro-ADS-MSW bc you plug it into you computer, set you car, model, verify pics of the steering wheel layout and such and THEN you can select what you want your buttons to do when you press-and-hold them. So you get twice as many buttons. You can select voice command, etc.

same price as the access brand which I know works as well.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Correct. If u don't have buttons on your wheel u can't use it
[Android General] bodieism:
I appreciate you taking it into consideration. Question though, will another app be able to override your setting once you implement it? I have Tasker setup to tell Rotation Locker to go to portrait mode upon HDMI disconnection... so if that would override your apps setting then I would be unaffected and there would be no need to offer an option to disable force landscape.

If that wouldn't work maybe Tasker could be used to send an intent to your app to disable it... that way there wouldn't be any need for a check option in the menu of the app itself since I could just make a widget using Tasker.

You got 5gb on "external storage" .... Android divide external and internal even if u don't have an SD card (nexus for example). Install app2sd and move some apps to your external partition. U proly maxed out the internal. Or clear ur app cache . that will help clear some space from the internal storage. Its not an aru issue....

But when I touch the screen I see a little hand ( see picture) looking at the screen shot, I have is set to 720x480 on the mk908.. Other option is 1280x (720 I think).. When I touch the screen I get the little hand where I touch, so the cursor is tracking.. I do have a mouse plugged in too..

any thoughts?

Thanks for the donation. I didn't get a report yet that it just stops after some time. In the app itself there's nothing time related.

I have reports of 4 other Note 2 users that it is working fine.
