Good info...thanks for that 400.

Hey guys.

How can I sort out Waze / Google Maps scaling? The map is zoomed out and you can't read street names clearly.

Also, the status bar on my home screen is missing so I can't check signal/battery information (I have a Note Edge and the Edge screen works / displays fine via headunit).

Ps. I am now using Nova Pro rather than Stock TW so landscape mode works fine.

Thanks :)

great app

well guys i must say i been using arunchained for a few weeks now ., first i was using it off a samsung galaxy s3 then went to an android stick

issue i have encountered i still havent got the gps maps to work with the android stick it said that the location has to be turn on from the settings menu on the android stick and i dont know how to turn it on its like it disable.

then with the s3 and samsung adapter i was getting crazy interference with door locks and other signals, everytime the car door locks or unlock the screen would just white out like a tv without cable, somtimes it comes back and somtimes while driving it would just white out again and i would also get like lines on the screen like it about to fade out, first i changed out the hdmi cable and use a good quality one from radio shack that is braided but it didnt help so i decided to just use a android stick. so i didnt have much time to fiddle around with the android stick after 3 weeks i finally got it to work correctly and i also found out that theres 2 version of the arunchained one for the phones and one for the android stick but i bought the app from google store and also gps injector since it will help out the dev on continuing with improving the app.

since i downloaded the correct app for the android stick it has work very well everytime i start the car it only took about 2 min to boot up and connect

my main purpose was to use car monitoring app like torque pro or dash commands via blutooth connect or direct usb connect

so far it all has work to my favor and now i got friends who wants the same setup also i was able to play my music or video files from sd card

which is a big win ,

I've been using appradio unchained for some time now and have never had any issues that couldn't be overcome. I've run into GPS issues with my current setup, however. I'm using a Nexus 5 running SlimLP 5.0.1 (or whatever the newest LP base is). Mirroring and Pandora work as they always had. However, when I try using Waze it cannot find a GPS to use. If I turn on Waze before plugging it in it works fine. However it will lose its GPS abilities soon after plugging it in. I've tried it with the GPS injector plugin turned off and on in the settings as well as having mock locations on and off and nothing seems to change.

I need to either get the HUs GPS working properly or allow Waze to use the onboard GPS. I'm running an Appradio 3. Thanks for any help!
[Android General] spark001uk:
Still debating on this, although I have found a simple alternative - a Kenwood. Their 2014 mirror link head units give FULL handset control, no rooting, no messing around with apps, nothing. Unbox, install, connect, done. Yes they're more expensive, but you get what you pay for I guess! Makes you wonder how their solution works though?? And why pioneer didn't do it!

No offence to the author of ARUR, I appreciate it's a good app, and I'm sure it took some skill to put together, but I can't help but feel that if (in keeping with a lot of play store apps) they were to charge a more modest amount, let's say 5 pounds for example, that there would be many more people buying it, and indeed some even going out to buy the appradio solely on the strength of the app? End result could well be a higher total income?

As I say I'm not intending to offend, I understand your time and effort deserves reward. ;)
[Android General] 400ixl:
Waze works fine on my Nexus 5 (on my AR2) with the OEM ROM (Lollipop 5.0.1).

---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 PM ----------

Are you sure? I played with one a few months ago and it was limited to specific apps in certain conditions just like the AppRadio. This has to be the case for it to be for sale in North America.
[Android General] spark001uk:
Filmed at Kenwood House, Watford, last April, 7025BT (current model) :

KENWOOD DDX 7025BT 2-DIN CAR HEAD UNIT

Also here's one from the U.S., of an even earlier model (DDX8901HD) :

Full In-Car Kenwood Android Smartphone Control
[Android General] 400ixl:
Interesting, a step on from the model I played with. Why they can't landscape the home screen is odd, but probably due to it being a Samsung phone and Touchwiz looks crap when mirrored in landscape.

There will be so many states in the US where this HU will be illegal to sell it will be unreal. Here in the UK they can probably get away with it. Will be interesting to see the real world experience as those looked very staged and not showing the boot up process etc. One to keep an eye on, but offers nothing over what we have today to be worth a switch. Maybe to to those who haven't yet bought anything. But then you are getting into Kenwood hardware and interfaces which have been appalling over the last 10 years or so. Guess it will go well with a Samsung phone then lol.
[Android General] spark001uk:
I'm actually looking at the 8025BT, which offers all the 7025 does, plus built in wifi via phone hotspot among other things. Also they both have a dvd deck.

That said, I'm trying to resist purchase until the imminent release of the 2015 models, which includes the DDX-9902S, which is the first 3rd party HU to come with Google's Android Auto.
[Android General] AgentJz:
That Kenwood I hated....tried it n the store.

The buttons suck on that Kenwood.
[Android General] Eugene86:
Has anyone got this running on a Pioneer AVH-X4700BS? I'm debating between getting the 4700 or just using Android Auto with an AVH-4100NEX.

However, the price difference is huge and if mirroring works on the AVH-X4700BS then I see no reason to get the NEX.
[Android General] captainradish:
Hmm. I'm starting to suspect it may be an issue with SlimLP. I'm gonna reinstall stock LP and see what happens then.
[Android General] tech by trade:
does the mirrorlink lag as bad on the kenwood as it does on the Pioneer?
[Android General] spark001uk:
If you see my post #8422 above, and watch the first video which is the 7025BT, it would appear there's virtually no lag at all.

I'd like to try this on my phone for myself before I buy, but I don't see how I can unless the shop allows me access to the back of the HU to plug my chromecast in!
[Android General] 400ixl:
ARU will not work with that HU as it is Mirrorlink only, not HDMI from what I can see.
[Android General] tech by trade:
Isnt mirrorlink a direct USB hookup? That's the reason for the horrible lag, its not as fast as HDMI.
[Android General] Thieuke:
Just want to let you know: just downloaded ARU latest beta, without rooted phone, I got full mirroring of my phone (Xperia Z2). Works great so far. It would be nice if the touch function on the HU can work. I now have to do everything on the phone still.

Maybe it's something I didn't reed, and it's possible to get the touch on the HU working? I'll dig into it further. For now, thankls for all the work. I'm happy!
[Android General] tech by trade:
Root your phone and the touch screen will work fine.
[Android General] Thieuke:
Just what I thought based on the video I saw about the Nexus phone. I will root after the Android 5.0 update from Sony. Or do you think/know that I can root the phone and still get the update to 5.0 from sony?
[Android General] tech by trade:
Just do the one click towel root now if you are running 4.4. No telling if you will be able to root 5.0 right away or not.
[Android General] Thieuke:
Ok, I understand, but will I get the update to 5.0 while rooted?
[Android General] tech by trade:
Depends, The last update didn't cause the phone to loose root if you auto update, but all previous ones did. So far one click towel root is working, but previously you had to wait for a rooted version of the firmware for your specific model and use flashtool update it. There is no saying towel root will even work with 5.0 when it is released.

This isn't really the place to be talking about root, there are far better threads. This thread assumes you understand rooting and how it works already.
[Android General] 400ixl:
You may, but I wouldn't recommend an OTA update once rooted. Unless you unroot and return to stock first. Personally, Lollipop is such a big update I would be doing a full clean install anyway as it minimises the risk of issues you may get afterwards.
[Android General] crunchtime:
Hey everyone,

I have a rooted LG G2 and am attempting to mirror my phone via a SlimPort adapter on my AppRadio 2, however I am having very little success. Here is what i have so far:

My adapter: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00HFYLR4M

Android 4.4.2 (xdabbeb's VS980 v 2.30)

ARU v .016

SELinux set to permissive

SuperSU v 2.19

ARU has SU access (SuperSU verified)

Phone is paired to radio

ARU states that it is connected in notifications (Shows the cable plug picture)

Tried clearing Bluetooth memory

Any ideas what i am missing?
[Android General] Thieuke:
Thanks for the advice, I think, after watching some youtube movies, I will go with the android stick with a dual sim. I'm searching which android stick is the best for me at this moment. I want the stick to be able to root and put a custom rom on there.
[Android General] 400ixl:
You don't actually describe the problem you are having. Useless without this.

Have you connected the phone to the slimport and the slimport to a TV to check it is working.
[Android General] crunchtime:
Oops. I edited my post to include that it works on selective HDMI ports with my TVs inside the house. And the original post states that I am trying to use ARU (tried ARLib too), to mirror my screen on my AppRadio 2, in order to control my phone in my car, however, it (AppRadio) doesn't seem to want to recognize my phone and receive the signal, or the applications so t do so. Like I said, it does work in my TV's, not all the HDMI ports though

Thank you!
[Android General] 400ixl:
Sorry, that still doesn't rally describe the problem you have with the HU. Please describe exactly what happen on both the phone and the HU.

So you don't get the Application Icon on the Head Unit show a bluetooth icon and then go green to be enabled?

What does the application on your phone show if you have it waiting for connection, plugged into the slimport and HDMI? Does it go to connected?

What does the diagnostics say in the app?
[Android General] jUsT2eXy:
Hey guys.

I'm using Reloaded, a Galaxy Note Edge & Nova Pro...

How can I sort out Waze / Google Maps scaling? The map is zoomed out and you can't read street names clearly (I tried all the options within the app menu but I think its to do with DPI?)

Also, the status bar on my home screen is missing so I can't check signal/battery information (I have a Note Edge and the Edge screen works / displays fine via headunit).

And today I fully tested everything..apart from the phone restarting 4 times during my trip (no idea why!), my battery was draining even though it was plugged in and charging... My original Note (N7000) would charge to 100%.

Can any one help with my problems?

Thanks!
[Android General] techker:
im so disappointed..i can't get my Moto x gen 2 to work at all ..only Bt and Audio....boooo
[Android General] RedFuryJr5:
please help!

Im pretty good at following instructions and have never had to ask a question to find an answer. I have been looking everywhere!

I am completely successful in connecting with ARUnchained. Touch screen works, buttons etc... Manually connecting via screen cast to my chomecast all good to go, 100% of the time, but without tasker. Setting up tasker to turn on hotspot and turn off wifi on bluetooth connect to appradio.... goood to go!

My only tiny problem is that all my tasks to automatically cast to screen cause various issues in all configurations and different "wait" times. Sometimes the phone freezes and the home button will stop working. Sometimes it wont connect. Rarely, it connects fine. I am always running the same programs when the task starts. Again this whole process works flawlessly when done manually without tasker. I used auto input to do the cast screen and I am using a sprint note 3 with temaseks latest cm12 lollipop.

edit: pandora works completely fine when not connecting with ARUnchained. Works over bluetooth great when breakdancing or running.

Also, when things do work by chance or by me setting up manually., i always have a problem with pandora and the dialer app. The Dialer app crashes every single time it opens. Calls still work fine and the appradios UI pops up fine. It isnt a huge deal since calls are fine but previously the dialer app remained behind the app radio UI during the call. The only time this is really troublesome is getting out of the car during a phone call and I cant use dialer app to add call etc... Like I said, minor thing. Pandora, however, is less functional. Pandora CONSTANTLY hangs and/or crashes. Rarely it works but most of the time the music will play fine but the UI of both the app and widget freeze and often I get a not responding message asking me to wait or close. Other apps work fine including grooveshark, google music, youtube, poweramp and more. I have uninstalled and reinstalled pandora to no avail. The dialer app is less important but pandora is my go to music source when I cant decide what to listen to so this is kind of a big annoyance. In any case I am thankful for any and all help in advance! Best wishes.

Sounds like some of the numerous CyangenMod ROM bugs. Does it happen on the OEM ROM?

[Android General] techker:
it does not support mhl...but i wonder if there is a micro usb to hdmi and if it would work...
[Android General] 400ixl:
You need a wireless solution.

https://motorola-global-portal.cust...prod_answer_detail/a_id/101402/p/30,6720,9197
[Android General] techker:
but it isnt touch..is it?
[Android General] 400ixl:
Yes, touch goes over bluetooth. You then send your video over wifi to the dongle through the Miracast protocol which converts it into HDMI and pushes it into the HU over the cable. For example, all of the Nexus 6 and OnePlusOne users have to do it this way.

ARU will work as long as it is an HDMI type Pioneer HU. What doesn't work is Mirrorlink direct to the HU for ARU.
[Android General] techker:
OK so if i get this right i need to get a dongle like chromecast put it in the usb connect bt to radio open hotspot connect to chrome cast.

but do i need to start the appradio app ?cause how will it switch?does it see the chrome cast as android?
[Android General] 400ixl:
Not quite sure what you mean there with the USB connect bit. Do you mean to power the dongle? If so, yes it will need power.

You have a Miracast dongle (maybe Chrome Cast if the phone supports it) connected via HDMI to the Head Unit. Your phone then connects to the dongle through casting the screen. Yes, you need the ARU app running as that creates the bluetooth connection which touch goes over.

I'd suggest going to the Moto X section of the forum and seeing how people have cast their phone to television HDMI ports as that is essentially what you are trying to achieve.
[Android General] techker:
Connect bt is bluetooth.

i checked and there is not info on this..

i will order a transmart t100 24.99 on geekbuying this week..cheap and will do the trick.

thx!
[Android General] techker:
ok i ordered a ezcast c2

http://www.geekbuying.com/item/Ezca...-MirrorOP-for-IOS-Android-Windows-331488.html

cheap..for a good alternative.

so once i get it i need to paire my phone with radio and hit the hotspot connect to the ezcast then open the Ar app and voila??

pioneer avh 4700bs and note 4

I have not been able to find a solution for my issue so here I am....I have mirrorlink on my note 4 and on my HU yet it doesn't work. Can anyone tell me how to mirror my phone to my HU?
[Android General] 400ixl:
Does the custom ROM you are running support Mirrorlink?

You know ARU will not work with Mirrorlink Head Units I assume, so even if you get it working to mirror the display you won't get touch through this app.
[Android General] canemaxx:
I am on stock rom and yes it has mirrorlink...sorry wasn't referring to aru I was hoping to get my note 4 that has mirror link to work with my avh 4700bs that also has mirror link

[Android General] northan77:
Gps

Hi. Have the app2 with s5 working very well. Thanks

I would like to use an app that changes my volume depending on my speed I'm traveling. Finding the app is not the issue but for it to work with the gps injector, it is.

Is there a way I can get ARU to send a tasker intent when Gps is working? That way I can listen for it and start the app. This would work for lots of my tasker profiles as well.

otherwise if there are suggestions or ideas I would be happy to hear.

Cheers.

HTC EVO 4G Cyanogenmod for Appradio 3

I am running Cyanogen on my HTC EVO 4G and wanted to know if I can use Cyanogen or do I have to use another ROM so it works with the radio. It is asking for permissions for Linux and can't seem to find out how to do it. Any and all help will be appreciated. Thanks
[Android General] 400ixl:
Cyanogenmod ROM isn't really well renowned for its HDMI support and stability. Personally I wouldn't use it.

Does anyone know how to make Waze / google Maps bigger on the AppRadio / Reloaded ?

When navigating, Waze/Google Nav is zoomed out and it is difficult to read street names.

Is there a way to change the DPI etc?
[Android General] 400ixl:
Not without changing the DPI of the whole interface. If the home screen and other apps are OK then messing with the DPI will mess them up as well.

In Waze, have you got auto zoom switched on in the advanced settings?
[Android General] rob7191:
I will try another MHL adapter and hopefully that works
[Android General] rob7191:
Looks like it's the mhl adapter you know any good adapters which will not fail on me?

400ixl,

What ROM is best suited/would you recommend for the HTC EVO 4G that will work?
[Android General] 400ixl:
No idea, sorry, I don't own one so have never dug that deep. I would go to the relevant section on the forum and ask. You are looking for something that is very stable around HDMI and bluetooth.

[Android General] tech by trade:
Sony Z1 and Z2. Screen standby works with these, one click root, and no need for custom roms, the stock root works fine. No Knox or any of that samsung garbage. They also have a program called smart connect which works the same as tasker but its more user friendly.

No matter what I do, I keep getting "no hu response on assigned channel" trying to pair galaxy s5 to avic 8000nex. Any help?
[Android General] esmenikmatixx:
Which version of the app are you using and what cable/adapter for mhl?
[Android General] spadz93:
I actually got this figured out. Didn't set smartphone setting to hdmi. Corrected itself right away. Now I'm trying to get rid of the black resolution bars, as well as try to find a way to have a back/home/recent apps button on the pioneer screen when connected, I can't navigate at all without those and I feel like it defeats the purpose to have to use the phone.

Also, brightness/contrast/further display adjustments for the input would be nice as well, just a thought if they don't already exist.
[Android General] JLPDA:
With the AppRadio3, the center hard button is the "home" button. Typically, press and hold a "home" button will display recent apps, the AR3 initiates voice command.

I'm very happy with Car Home Ultra. Makes it easy to use my AR3 when on the road. Also using "Recent Apps Quick Button"...search the Google playstore.

Brightness/contrast display adjustment can be found in the AR settings.
[Android General] esmenikmatixx:
On my appradio 4, using my sprint galaxy s5, the recents/back/home are soft keys on the left edge of the screen, which should be the same on the NEX series iirc

That's why I was wondering if you had the free app or paid app, cause of the SELinux switch..
[Android General] spadz93:
Found out that you have to double-press the home button on the radio to bring them back up. I got all my connections figured out, but for some reason my audio/video is very patchy. sometimes it'll work great, sometime's it'll be patchy, and then sometimes not at all. it sounds like a bad HDMI cable, i'll have to test it. I'm using Samsung's official MHL adapter (picked it up at best buy), so I'll have to check it out
[Android General] markj113:
Hi guys got the paid version of the app on my HTC one m8. Everything running sweet with my appradio at the moment but I've just had the lollipop update notification come up on my phone.

If I upgrade to lollipop will it cause any problems?
[Android General] 400ixl:
If you are on the free version of ARU then you will need to get SELinux into permissive mode.

I wouldn't recommend taking an OTA update whilst rooted. I would return to stock, the OTA. You need to be sure you can then root again and do the SELinux part and get SuperSU working.
[Android General] esmenikmatixx:
I was using the Samsung mhl adapter but would get random flashing and rolling on the screen so I switched to this cable and haven't had any issues. I plug the USB end into a 3.1 amp USB lighter outlet adapter instead of using the 1 amp port on the radio so my phone actually charges while plugged in.
