I can't for the life of me get this app to work.

The regular AppRadio app works flawlessly, my bluetooth connection always connects quickly with auto connect on the radio and immediately resumes my music which also works without problems. My HDMI connection works fine because I am able to get a mirror mode going without the app.

However when I try to use this app I get nothing but "Ready to connect". No matter what I try it never ever connects.

I am using the AppRadio2 with an Asus Padfone Infinity (the original model) with android 4.1.2 since Asus still hasn't released the 4.4 update.
[Android General] ouikikazz:
what is the GPS injector exactly? when do i have to use it?
[Android General] Area51©:
That's weird as the bluetooth connection part of ARU is 100% the same as the original app.
[Android General] Area51©:
You have to use it when you want to use the AR3's GPS with a non Pioneer navigation app.

Miracast leaves a lot to be desired, I would not call it a reliable or stable connection

I don't understand exactly what is going wrong for you please elaborate
[Android General] Codyksp:
Well weird or not, I'd like to get it working...

Is there some kind of special step-by-step ritual I need to follow to get this thing to connect?
[Android General] sw1tched:
I have the stock ROM on 4.4 kitkat, ROOTED/Unlocked bootloader (thus the only way i can use ARU in anyway. =O).

The regular BT connection to the radio happens immediately as soon as the car head unit has power. However the BT connection to ARU sits at "ready to connect " on my phone for a long time, sometimes 10 minutes or more until it connects. :crying: If i try and hit the app button on the radio it'll say 50% or 75% (continue or ignore) and it's been like 5 minutes or so (maybe more). I think that by plugging it in, it almost seems to initiate the discovery of ARU and help along the connection process idk.

There has to be a bug in the software somewhere between AR conversion to ARU. I know the developer has stated he's not touched the bluetooth portion of the app. I think maybe it's got something to do with mirroring the touch features of the app over bluetooth either between Android OS or ARU. Seems like more than just I are having very similar problems across the board.

I'm really hoping for a fix or some resolve eventually

HU Buttons and Touch Screen NOT Working

Ok. So I used to have a Galaxy S3 that I would mirror and control using my HU. Now i have a Galaxy S5 that I have been trying to do the same thing with but it only allows me to mirror my phone. I am not able to touch the screen, nor use the buttons on my HU to control my phone. I have read that the new 4.4.2 has SEAndroid/Knox set to Enforce rather than Permissive. I tried using SELinux Mode Changer app to switch over to Permissive but it does not work. Can you please please please help me fix this. Im dying to use my HU+Rooted Phone+ARU the way it was meant to be used. Thank you so much.

Charging issue

Hi, is there any solution to solve the charging issue without installing fast charging kernal ?
[Android General] Theteenystar:
No, changing the Kernel is the only solution. I run the Franco Kernen R207 and Fast Charge works perfect. Also very good results with connection. I think I have about 95% success. Have a Nexus 4 with Purity Rom.
[Android General] Area51©:
I don't think there's a bug in ARU. The part where you get the percentage counter is all handled by the HU bluetooth stack and the Android bluetooth stack. Only after this was done successfully the app gets an event there's a connection and then starts working. I think that Pioneer is way behind with testing, in their compatiblilty list they have not mentioned one phone with KitKat yet. I think it can only be resolved by an update of the AppRadio firmware.

There's one thing that sometimes helps and that is to install the Pandora app. I believe you only have to run it once. Some people have reported that this fixes the bluetooth connection issues. Like here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52643549&postcount=4630
[Android General] Area51©:
Yes, by default it will connect HSP (for handsfree) and A2DP (for playing audio). Only after you hit the Apps icon it will disconnect A2DP and instead enable SPP for touch/key/GPS serial communication. The Apps icon can only be selected when a valid HDMI signal is detected first. My experience shows that even if you were connected for HSP and A2DP it will reconnect bluetooth to enable SPP.

Thanks.
[Android General] sw1tched:
Gotcha, I completely believe that Pioneer is behind on their test procedures. Sucks that KitKat isn't "Officially" support by them yet too. It eventually connects to ARU which is a good thing, just not as fast as I would like it.. So when the bluetooth connection occurs for regular phone calls that is separate of the bluetooth connection that occurs for the Appradio APP portion of the headunit?

Thanks for your help!

[Android General] Area51©:
I would say something is off in AOSP. Anyway it's impossible for me to debug. But maybe you can. You have do do the following:

- Install terminal emulator: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm

- Open a window and type:

su

getevent -p

- See what is listed at "Generic"

Now you can also trace some events by typing:

getevent

Now press the HU buttons and see if anything is registered. Note that if the keys work they will still do what they are supposed to do but you can switch back to the terminal windows to see what is registered.

To really see the difference you could do this for both rom versions.

Forgot to say you should do the above when connected to the HU and mirroring.

I use this cable with this power adapter. I went on a 4 hour road trip using Waze and streaming music the entire way and only lost a few percentage points of charge. I use a Slimport, though, it might not work as well with MHL adapters.
[Android General] fwaqo:
Hey People!

I'm using the original Samsung MHL Adapter (Isolated with alutape) , the 11pin MicroUSB Output (isolated, too). USB to MicroUSB (powercord) and HDMI-cable are both original Samsung - in combination with a Samsung S4 + DA110.

ARUnchained runs like a charm, all functions and subfunctions are working. Also, the phone isn't decharging a lot.

There's only 1 "small" problem left:

The screen of the DA110 sometimes kinda crashes. It snows for ~1 second in a while, then the screen comes back again.

From time to time it stays black for a while (~10sec) till the Screen Comes back.

I'm sure it's not caused by a loose cable as I attached them and then fixed them with tape.

Also, it's not caused by chuckholes. It occours randomly.

Has anyone else encountered the same problem and found a solution?

Thank you in advance
[Android General] 400ixl:
Its caused by the MHL adapter and phone, not the HU.
[Android General] desantim:
I will do this the second I have a moment later today and post my results here. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!
[Android General] Codyksp:
I've managed to get things working again, apparently for some reason my radio was set back to iPhone again instead of Others.

There is one problem though, before I used Bluetooth Audio and I have noticed that it's not possible to use this together with App Mode. This wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't for the fact that when I open my music player in App Mode my subwoofer doesn't respond, when I used Bluetooth Audio it works like a charm. Is there any way to solve this?

Also my AppRadio model is SPH-DA110 which according to the US Pioneer website is the AppRadio3, on the European website it doesn't specify which one is it and the store I bought it from said AppRadio2. I have a European model so can anyone tell me if it's the 2 or 3?

I am going crazy, need advice on a HDMI stick that works

Hi,

I was using Samsung Galaxy S2 with the appradio SPH-DA100, and the connectors were so bad breaking up with every little bump on the road. Bought two cables and eventually the Samsung original MHL adapter, did not help. then I changed the USB/MHL socket on the phone twice, also did not help.

Eventually I bought an LG phone from ebay with a micro HDMI on it, and guess what? the connection is still too bad if I shake the phone i lose the Video signal.

I am now convinced the only solution is an HDMI stick, can someone advise please about a one that works?

Thanks

Can't get GPS Injection to work

Have allowed mock connections

I use screen standby (root) to, yes, completely shut off the screen. Just enable mhl auto connection in settings and leave the rest alone makes everything buggy. As for car screen, I use my default viperone rom screen. One home page is set up for just my car with a double twist media player widget.

What do you use to start AR at boot? Tried making it a system app, AR wasn't havin it.
[Android General] IFMISM:
You have the Appradio3.

you can use Bluetooth audio in app ode if you press the home button on the radio twice

mix will come up. chose Bluetooth

then go to settings on your phone. select Bluetooth. select appradio then check audio. once it is checked you will be able to stream music via Bluetooth even though you have the hml plugged up.

I use this all of the time when using waze. still unable to get touch working on appradio 3 using sprint note 3. any help would be much appreciated.
[Android General] cartisdm:
I was on CM10.2 for a few weeks and ARU worked flawlessly. With the exception of my phone getting extremely hot at times, it couldn't have been more perfect. It never took more than 5 seconds to boot up and it worked 100% of the time.

I got trigger happy and flashed Slimkat 4.4.2 and now I can't get it to work well at all. It never wants to full connect Bluetooth. I have to click the android icon, get an error message, back out, try it a few more times, then finally it jumps right into my android homescreen. It keeps telling me to make sure I have Pioneer AppRadio App installed and that my bluetooth is only 50% and 75% connected. I only saw a few other people with a similar issue and they fixed it by installing Pandora on their phone. No luck for me.

I'm going to play around with it some more today but I might try to find an Jelly Bean Slim ROM if there's one available... :mad:
[Android General] Area51©:
When you open the app, what is shown at status? What happens when you hit stop and then start?
[Android General] martialbob:
The ARUnchained App launches great and connects flawlessly, and touch works flawlessly as well.

I checked GPS satellites in the HU settings and the connection to satellites is good.

When I launch the GPS Injector App (I have the option set to auto-start upon connection) - I don't get a UI, I get a screen that says something about the connection has been started and please register with the head unit. I'll post a picture of that later.

If I launch google maps at this point I don't get a GPS lock

If I launch Waze at this point the app starts and then goes to the screen I mentioned above

If I go back into the ARUnchained App and hit the menu then disconnect button, it doesn't actually disconnect me but I can then access the UI in the ARUnchained and GPS Injector App

At this point if I hit the Stop/Start button it just says "Service Is Starting" and sits there.

If I start Waze at this point the app launches correctly but can't get a GPS lock

If I kill the GPS Injector App and then start Waze, Waze gets a GPS lock and works as should; so the GPS can definitely be pulled by supported apps through the API.

If I launch google maps at this point I don't get a GPS lock.
[Android General] Area51©:
Hmmm, seems all quite weird. Can you try to install it as a normal app first, after removing it as a system app. I ask this because installing it as a system app is a bit tricky and sometimes goes wrong which can obviously result in weird behaviour.

Upgraded from M7 to M8 and now having issues

Hi all,

I've been running ARU on my old M7, and it's been working flawlessly with my SPH-DA210 (running the Google Play Edition Rom). I've recently upgraded to an M8, am running on stock, rooted via Weaksauce and I can't get everything to function properly. I've got ARU installed, GPS injector installed as a system app. Once I connect the phone via USB cable and start the car, my M8 connects via bluetooth and it appears that ARU is connected too (the magenta "Connected" notification icon appears), but there is no response on the head unit. Mirroring is not working, and the app never seems to fully connect.

Has anyone else experienced this?
[Android General] DiGi91:
To get AR to start at boot; it just does it lol I didn't set anything at all.. Still can't get "complete screen off" working whenever the screen turns off the touch events lock up on the head unit.

I got my layout down now and started using poweramp. Loving it bought it a long time ago and never really used it much.
[Android General] martialbob:
reinstalled over lunch and tried again.

same thing as before

connects just fine over bluetooth

i launch the gps app and it's the same screen as I stated before, i hit the menu -> disconnect and launch the gps injector again, i hit start service and just stays at *starting service*

if i turn it off the system gets it's own gps, so injection not working

I finally was able to get out to my car and get things plugged in and an ssh session made.

Any insight you can glean from the two .txt files attached would be wonderful. You can see at the bottom each button was pressed, back, menu, and home, and I broke each apart by ##BUTTONAME

Let me know if there is anything else needed.

The two roms used are XDABBEB's VS98024A v1.1.1 which is a stock variant and then CarbonRoms AOSP variant.

Need Video Instructions

Ok so I have the 4000nex with a rooted Verizon Note 3 4.4.2 and I have the Samsung 2.0 MHL adapter. My issue like alot of other people comes with no touch working on head unit. Yes I know I need a certain custom Rom to get the touch part working. Problem is I'm a visual learner and I'm wondering if someone can do a step by step on how to get the touch working with whatever custom Rom works with Samsung devices. Just telling me the steps to get it done doesn't work for me. I need to see it.

Can someone help me out and reply with a video link or give me some input that hasn't been brung up already..... Given the 4000nex is a new device I'm sure over time alot more people will find there way to this forum like I did looking for help....

Touch screen not working on Avh-x8550bt

Hi Area51,

I posted the below a few days back, but the thread was moving fast and saw that you reply to some of the later postings by others. I reckon you probably missed my post so was hoping you get to see it this time.

I am using SM-G900F, rooted with CF-auto root. On stock rom. Installed ARU version 6 and manage to mirror phone screen to HU, but no touch control. Everything got to touch on the phone. And also phone went into landscape mode and no button on the phone can get out of it and it sucks because I have to unplug to get into the main apps window. Is there a work around to these?
[Android General] Area51©:
Touch not working on a Samsung device with 4.4.2 is because of Knox security and SELinux running in enforcing mode. If your bootloader is not locked the easiest workaround is to install a custom kernel that has SELinux in permissive mode by default.

You can also try this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52204362&postcount=4304 but you have to do it every time you boot your phone. If it works there are however ways to do it automatically upon boot.

Parts of your screen being cut off in landscape is because the Samsung launcher can't handle landscape well. It can be solved by installing an alternative launcher like Nova launcher.
[Android General] Area51©:
Hmmm, looks exactly the same so I would say it's working properly. Keys are injected, only not picked up on the CarbonRom. Can you try this app: "Floating Soft Keys *ROOT*" on your CarbonRom to see if that works. It also injects keys, if that works we could try to trace some more events.
[Android General] Area51©:
You can check on the HU how many sats are received. When you open the GPS injector, what is the status?
[Android General] takishi1:
Hi Area51,

I followed your link and download Android Terminal Emulator and did as advised to enter the lines, i supposed the status : "disable" meant the knox, and after i entered "setenforce 0" i clicked on the "X" to close the window. Is this step right? Then i went to check the SE status, it is still enforcing. What did i missed?

Kick off of AppRadio Unchained Reloaded

Today I decided to start working on the standalone version of AppRadio Unchained. When finished it will not be a mod of the original Pioneer app anymore but a completely independent app so it can be available in the play store. The GPS injecting functionality will be included so there's only one app for everything. It will also remove the overhead of the Pioneer app so the touch response can be better too.

For now the working title will be AppRadio Unchained Reloaded.

The first things that will be done are as following:

1) Reverse engineer AR3 communication protocol.

2) Implement AR3 communication protocol.

I will keep you updated on the progress.
[Android General] Area51©:
It seems you did it right however it may not work. After you did setenforce 0, you can type another line with getenforce. If this shows Enforcing, it didn't work. Only option then is to find a custom kernel if your bootloader isn't locked because if it is, you can't install another kernel.
[Android General] bradleyem:
Well, I had an update notification this morning on my Verizon Note 3...I thought that I might be screwed for AR. Luckily when I opened the notification it said "update failed" :)

I really hope that someone cracks Knox and SELinux soon with a permanent solution though. My GPS constantly loses signal and my Wi-Fi sucks on my Note 3 so those will never be fixed if I can't apply updates. Plus I would rather have a vanilla ROM without all of the Samsung and Verizon bloatware. I'm just too invested in my Note 3 and the hardware is fast as hell, it's just the software that sucks.

Area51,

With a stand alone app is it possible to bypass the phone application on the head unit and use the one on the phone itself? That is the most annoying thing about the AR2 to me...lol
[Android General] mustafaluigi:
Just letting everybody know what I found. If you plan to have a dedicated device in the car and use WIFI tether from your actual phone to give it internet you will have issues. Bluetooth and WIFI both use the 2.4 GHZ spectrum and when both are activated I was having issues with WIFI speeds being incredibly slow. It may also be the cause to some of my BT issues with my device connecting to the AP3. Until there is a way to set up WIFI tether as only wireless N in the 5GHZ spectrum the two will clash. On some new phones, the phone will actually disable wifi or bt depending on what one is activated. Turn BT on, wifi disables. Enable wifi, BT turns off.

My fix is to set up BT internet tethering. My dedicated device will connect to the head unit, and my phone. It isn't as fast as wifi but is way faster then the speeds I was getting using wifi when it was screwing up.

Not yet, I want to get the AR3 communication protocol working first so that I am 100% sure that it can be done. Then I will set everything up for a presale so that you can buy it at a discount and take part in beta testing if you desire to do so. If not you will just have to wait till it's finished.

I will set up a different paypal address later so that it's linked directly to my one man company's bank account. Not that I expect to sell thousends of copies but at least everything will be right from the start. Anyway that's for later, first have to get something working.

[Android General] Area51©:
Sure, anything is possible when you make your own app. I plan to do some tasker integration as well. One of the goals is however to make it so that you won't really need tasker to do additional stuff. I want all the basic stuff to be integrated, like for instance a wake lock. This will be easier for the average user.

That would be sweet. Now if only Pioneer would get the deck software working properly. The RDS in the radio menu would be a great start http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EAnrcTmYwU. Alas with the NEX line taking center stage I believe they will be putting the app radio out to pasture. Too bad, it is terrific but could be an amazing product with some software tweaking.
