Thanks for posting this info, this helped me with my problem. I thought that Android 4.4.4 broke the HDMI output on my HTC One M8 as I was getting black bars on the top and bottom of the output. Using your suggestion, I am now getting a full screen again. For reference, you don't have to reset the Head Unit to adjust the Android Video Size. Just go to the tools menu, input/output settings, and Android Video Adjust is an option there. The trick is to size the box so that it is around the edges of the output displayed on the screen. then, when you click PREVIEW and finally OK, it will ZOOM that area to take up the full screen. This really should be documented better by Pioneer!

What is the difference between the paid app and the free version?
[Android General] booogermonkey:
I'm so glad I could actually help someone out. Everyone here has been super helpful to me. And yes, pioneer is frustrating at best.
[Android General] Dirtylarry11:
thankss for your help on this.....I cant believe the SPH-DA210 doesnt come wih a remote?
[Android General] Dirtylarry11:
which deck to buy? Cash in hand

Thank you, I am currently thinking of the SPH-DA210 receiver, I have the Note 4 rooted, and the SE linux installed etc. before I buy I want to make sure that with ARU that I can use ALL of my phones apps etc from the head unit touchscreen. Does google maps work for navigation? Will this allow Everything on my phone to be used from the head unit ( Nova launcher etc? I just really want to make sure it does everything I want it to do before I buy it and find out that it doesn't. I know I have to buy a cable etc. have to be rooted, and have to buy ARU. Hopefully you guys/gals that have t installed can point me in the right direction once again before my purchase! Thanks for any input you can give me.
[Android General] mapobean:
I bought the Pioneer SPH-DA210 to use with my rooted T-Mobile Galaxy S5 Dual Booted running Aliance 5.0 as Primary and Fusion 1-27-15 build as Secondary and everything works on both ROMS except when you use to make a call i can not figure out how to show key pad. I have also purchased ARUnchained GPS Injector and this also works.
[Android General] techker:
Hey guy's i got my app radio this week the 110.(got it for 50$..lol)

so i got my phone galaxy s4 rooted and installed arunchained all works but i have no touch screen..

the finger doesn't show anymore..lol(no touch)

the touch splash screen showed but was giving me error codes but the 3rd try it worked...but still no touch..

Bt connected mhl connected with usb powered.

is there another thing im missing??

EDIT:just read that i need SE Linux?
[Android General] 400ixl:
Yep, SELinux in permissive, or buy ARUR and you won't need that as it works around it.
[Android General] techker:
i installed SE and put it to permissive..still the same no touch screen..

the arunchained is it the free of full version i need??

also is there a way to restart the calibration before the appradio starts??
[Android General] 400ixl:
Have you set the HDMI input to other rather than iPhone?
[Android General] bennetski:
Please please please help. I've managed to mess up the app and can't find a way to uninstall it. All I can do is disable it. I just want to be able to re-install it.
[Android General] ibrubeer:
I think you can delete the Bluetooth connection from the radio. When you try to connect the next time it will be new, and do the calibration again.

[Android General] spark001uk:
Hi guys,

Sorry for the noobness, I'm just researching before I buy a head unit. I've got a nexus 6 and I see a guy on YouTube has successfully been able to fully control his n6 from a pioneer appradio, using a chromecast (as the n6 doesn't support mhl). Also he's using arunchained reloaded, which as far as I can see is a whopping £19! So my first question is, what's the difference between arunchained and arunchained reloaded, to warrant the cost?
[Android General] 400ixl:
1) To support the Dev who has put a lot of effort into an app which really only has a relatively small user base.

2) See 1)

For ARU you will need to root and bypass SELinux, then also buy the GPS add on.

For ARUR you will need to root, it does not need SELinux and includes the GPS add on.

---------- Post added at 08:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 PM ----------

You should just be able to go into System - Apps and uninstall. Or do it through the Play Store app.

Failing all of that, you could do it through Titanium Backup.
[Android General] bennetski:
Nope. Tried going into system/apps but the apk isn't there and the icon on the home screen has gone to an android robot. The only option I have through the play store is to enable/disable.
[Android General] spark001uk:
Understood. I'm all for that. Would need to be certain of good operation before I part with that much tho I think!

I would have thought it wouldn't be necessary to read the GPS data from the HU, seeing as most phones nowadays have GPS built in now? Or am I missing something?
[Android General] 400ixl:
Not through a file browser. I mean the Settings icon to get into the Android settings, then Apps option within that which gets you to the installed apps.

---------- Post added at 10:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 AM ----------

They do, but they also eat a lot of power. You will most likely find you charger struggles to keep up with everything. HU one also starts up much quicker than your phone one.

Anyway, at the end of the day, its about supporting the Dev for me.
[Android General] bennetski:
Ok I finally got my app back and I'm trying to set it as a system app. I've done what it says on the instructions and have transferred the files but now when I go into diagnostics the app crashes ??
[Android General] spark001uk:
Agreed. I can see it'd be hassle getting all the necessary apps and bits, and I don't know how to change selinux state myself either. I guess if there was a hardware add-on produced for the HU we'd pay it, so why not for a software one.

Now just to decide between SPH-DA120 or the AVH-X8600BT.! :confused:

ADD : I am assuming ARUR works on appradio 4 as well?
[Android General] bennetski:
By the way, I have a galaxy note 4
[Android General] 400ixl:
I'd get the AppRadio as it has the better Capacitive screen and the external GPS. The other has a resistive screen I believe and no external GPS. It does work on the AR4 on the whole, however the dev is working at the moment to get over some of the changes Pioneer made in that version (screen mirroring, Touch SELinux bypass all work fine though in ARUR). Shows the ongoing support of keeping the app up to date.
[Android General] spark001uk:
Ah ok yes thanks for pointing that out, I hate jab screens. (I call them that cos that's what you have to do to them!).

My only other ponder at the moment is the fact my n6 is very nearly the size of the HU screens, and I noticed Sony does a unit you actually clip the phone into and use it with a BT connection (has charge port too) for just 199 quid.
[Android General] 400ixl:
You could probably buy a second hand AppRadio 2 for under £100 off ebay.
[Android General] spark001uk:
I could yes but I prefer to buy new. It's a good concept with the Sony though don't you think?
[Android General] bodieism:
Your problem is that you probably need a parking break bypass. If you don't have you one you have to set and release the parking brake 2 times or some ridiculousness like that to get past the warning screen.

Edit: Here is an excerpt of the warning message I get "please press ok to confirm that parking brake has been (1)applied,(2)released, and (3)applied again."

---------- Post added at 01:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 AM ----------

Oh ok, I see what you meant now. Mine functions the same except I have to manually press the ok button on the first message as well. I can still press ok even when my parking brake is not set.

Does yours also work the same as evillela2001 described above?

In this video you can see examples of the two warning messages I receive at 0:45 & 1:00.
[Android General] basmand:
Hi

I am new to this stick issue, so I have some questions!

q1 What stick are you using?

q2 Howe do you connect to the internet, Google Play, YouTube an so on? as fare as I know you cant insert a "sim card" in the stick?

q3 How do you supply the stick with power, as I can see on the internet from USB, but will it give enough power?

Basmand:good:
[Android General] evillela2001:
Yes mine does work the same. That first warning from your video is not for the parking brake. Its just a generic warning about using your radio and what not. That second warning is the one referencing the parking brake. Stupid us version and all these warning. Guess there's no way around them.
[Android General] bodieism:
I don't recall saying that the first warning was for the parking brake, but I see now why we were confusing each other. I consider both to be warning messages, but I wonder if m.a.s.e views it the same way you do? Or if he in fact only receives 1 warning. I hate both so any chance to remove one is why I'm so interested.

---------- Post added at 02:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 AM ----------

For question 2 you could activate the mobile hotspot on your phone, providing the Android stick has wifi. For a short time I had a dedicated old phone (Droid RAZR) in my car and I had Tasker auto activate the mobile hotspot on my S4. That way the RAZR would always be able to access the internet without me having to do anything.
[Android General] crownaviation:
and numbow

Ok, here is what happened. Originally I used the Pioneer kit. Did not work so I bought a Samsung MHL 2.0 (worked yeah). Before I ripped it all apart (wire harness as I have tons of other stuff not audio related) I decided to try the pioneer kit one more time. This was after I already hooked up the Samsung adapter and did not power down the HU. So.. appeared as if the Pioneer was functioning correctly but no.

Reinstalled the Samsung MHL 2.0 adapter today and now all that works again (correctly) including my bypass.

Still have no idea how to launch ARU tho.. I can view my phone on the appradio but no touch control via appradio

except when using the appradio app

Only ARU file I can find is in my files>downloads... does nothing, cant share it with any other programs etc... I am missing something and sure it is silly...
[Android General] bodieism:
ARU should start running in the background on boot. It sounds like an issue with root since touch controls aren't working, but you said that root checker has confirmed root. Are you by any chance forgetting to turn Bluetooth on? Bluetooth is how the AppRadio communicates the touch inputs to your phone. I assume you have installed the app, correct? You don't need to share it... you need to click on the downloaded file and then install it. After installing it ARU should show up in your app drawer under AppRadio Unchained.

Oh and now that you've edited post #820, my reply in post #821 is probably going to confuse some people since it looks like I'm responding to a question no one asked...
[Android General] crownaviation:
Sorry for the edit.. sometimes I type and suck at multi-tasking.

Bluetooth enabled but when I tried to install aru again it says already installed.

Not sure which app you are referring to.. arl? Or the appradio app? arl no, appradio app yes
[Android General] bodieism:
Not sure why you're mentioning ARL. You don't have that installed as well do you? If ARU is already installed then it should be in your app drawer where it can be launched if need be.

---------- Post added at 03:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 AM ----------

If it were me in your situation, I would uninstall any AppRadio related apps (ARU, ARL, Stock Pioneer App). Then I would download only the ARU app and try installing it again.
[Android General] crownaviation:
I will try that. I do not have arl and never installed that. I do not have aru in the app drawer..

And thank you for your support.. will donate if I can get this working. If not it will have to go towards bail for disturbing the peace lol

---------- Post added at 08:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 AM ----------

I did uninstall appradio app (again) and downloaded the new 13.apk and YEAH! Now I assume I still need to go back and install appradio app agaain? I finally have the icon and seems to work as others have stated. Getting out of bed to try it out

---------- Post added at 08:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 AM ----------

THANKS!!! THIS IS GREAT! Donation coming yur way

---------- Post added at 08:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 AM ----------

Also donated to the OP! Thanks SO much for ARU!
[Android General] bodieism:
Thanks! I'm glad to see you got it working :good:

nope, im use hdmi stick and special build of aru for it
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Hi area51. BT tracks via wheel remote works awesome.

How hard will it be to also add long press for ff and rewind? Or it's only possible for forward and back track?
[Android General] basmand:
Hi

How do I get the ARU that will work on a stick, I love the idea of have ARU running without using my phone

Basmand:good:
[Android General] DJHile:
When we are talking about a stick here, are we talking like taking Chromecast and sticking it in the HDMI port on the HU?
[Android General] jUsT2eXy:
Mr Dev I <3 you man :angel:

Seriously, what a great app. I am enjoying using my new AppRadio 3 with my Galaxy Note.

At first I was cursing everyone lol because the radio would not see my phone.. then after a little searching I realised that ParanoidAndroid (CM) did not support MHL :crying: ... anyway I am back to a TW/Samsung ROM and all is good.

One thing I have noticed was the aspect ratio... I can see black lines on the left & right on the radio in apps such as Google Navigation.. Even when displaying the home-screen...

Has anyone got a workaround for the above?

Other than that ... Great app! :good:

For you AppRadio 3 users, what all can the microphone voice command feature do, and from where can it be activated? I'm trying to gauge whether it is worth upgrading from the 2.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Not really no. Assume you mean the Sony XSP-N1BT. Every phone is a different size and shape so to cater for all will not leave a nice looking solution. Its as ugly as hell in your dash.

The whole thing that appeals is the simple HU screen with the phone and all cables completely out of sight. This is why things are going the Apple Car Play and Android Auto route and not the way Sony have approached it there.
[Android General] yamaha11reed:
Having an issue on my note 3 4.4.2 where once it's connected and working fine if I use the back button on the appradio 3 to get to my home screen it will freeze the device to the point where I have to remove the battery to turn it on again... I'm running arunchained reloaded. It will work perfectly until I go hit the back button to try to open a different app or something.
[Android General] techker:
yes it is set to others...

i will try to reset and retry to see if it will calibrate..
[Android General] spark001uk:
That's the one I meant, yes. I've just been down halfrauds to check out the sph-da120, unfortunately it wasn't good. The touchscreen had some serious issues, don't know if it was faulty or what, every time I scrolled anything such as a settings menu it went mental and crashed out to the home screen. Volume kept randomly turning up and down by itself and all sorts! Also although a2dp worked ok I couldn't get the avrcp part of it (file browse etc) to work with either of my phones (nexus 6 and ascend g620s).
[Android General] 400ixl:
Something very wrong with that HU then. Probably been messed about so much it needed a factory reset.
[Android General] BrianBaker:
Hi, just bought the ARU paid app and love how fast in connects..My question is why doesn't my screen rotate back to portrait upon disconnecting my cable? I have to go into ARU and stop the app then everything goes back to normal..I did try unticking the force landscape but then the phone is in portrait on my App Radio 3..Any tips?
[Android General] techker:
Hey guyès my touch is still not working after all the steps were done..rooting,pairing...

but i only have the free version of unchained?do i need full 30$ version for the touch to work??
[Android General] Area51©:
If you disconnect your cable, the bluetooth connection is still there. When you switch off your car, your radio will switch off too and then screen will rotate back as well.

You can try to enable "Start/stop ond HDMI connection/disconnection".
[Android General] Area51©:
It will work with the free version if you can get SELnux in permissive mode. The paid version supports SELinux in enforcing mode.
[Android General] chico260:
So has anyone tested the Samsung allshare cast dongle with aru reloaded?
[Android General] mad212:
I did long ago and couldn't deal with the lag and disconnects. Who knows maybe there has been an update that fixes it but I ended up getting an mhl cable and now use an android stick which works great.
[Android General] techker:
Same thing..i tried both modes..

will work with the free version if you can get SELnux in permissive mode. The paid version supports SELinux in enforcing mode.
[Android General] jUsT2eXy:
Guys...silly question but...

What's the difference between AppRadio Unchained (Free) and AppRadio Unchained Reloaded (Paid).

I know that this (Unchained) is based on the Pioneer App and the Reloaded is 'Pioneer-less' and built from scratch... but don't both apps do the same thing?

Thanks! :)
[Android General] BigCiX:
Anyone know why when I swipe from left to right it pulls down my notification bar and swipping it up and down switches screen. So its backwards. Also I'm getting lag when swipping.
[Android General] 400ixl:
ARUR includes the GPS injection and works with SELinux in enforcing mode. More importantly it supports the developer in his efforts to support a niche application that make the HU actually worth having.
[Android General] spyxone:
my allshare cast dongle doesnt work with AR4, on my TV's mirroring work, but when connect to hdmi on AppRadio screen is black, not even connect screen. Any ideas?

Parking bypass for AR: I connect green wire (parking) from radio to ground. This is works but is it correct for long time of using?
[Android General] AgentJz:
Hi, I have been using then original version sincethe inception, made donation waaay back. It's been working fllawlessly with my s3 and da210.

Well, I'm dumping this pos s3 and picking up a LG G3.

Do I just have to root and I am good to go or what esle do I need to do?

I'll buy the new one since it has gps inj I guess.

Thanks.
[Android General] 400ixl:
LG uses Slimport adapters not Samsung MHL so you will need to change that. G3 also now has Lollipop I believe so the original app will need root and SELinux in permissive. With the new paid app, just root is required.
[Android General] rob7191:
I have got my chromecast connected to my wifi hot spot and can see it on my pioneer screen but all I see is the chromecast wallpaper I load the app on the s5 but will not mirror to my pioneer screen only any ideas ?
[Android General] 400ixl:
Does the S5 support full screen mirroring with Chromecast?

You need to go into settings, display, cast screen and then select the Chromecast.

Did you set it all up on a TV using the phone and test the full screen casting?
[Android General] AgentJz:
Thank you 400xsl, I'll pay for the new app and just root.

Would you be able to provide a link to a good working Slimport adapter please?

I went through 3 s3 adapters and none were great.

Appreciate the help.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Many people use Analogix SlimPort adapters and the SP1004 is the latest one I believe.
[Android General] AgentJz:
I will check it out.

Thank you again.
[Android General] jUsT2eXy:
Hey guys. I have a problem with Appradio Reloaded. Today I received a phone call whilst connected to Reloaded and using the appradio. When I answered the call the reloaded application /appradio quit and the pioneer appradio phone screen popped up ...after I finished the call I thought I would see what I was seeing prior to answering the call ...but instead Reloaded lost connection and I had to wait for connection to reestablish before seeing the screen and having touch controls ... why is this? Is this a bug? It's very annoying as you can lose navigation and reconnection takes up to 20 seconds..
[Android General] 400ixl:
You will always get the Pioneer screen when on a call, its the way the HU works. It is a pain that it blocks navigation etc but thats the way it is.

You should switch back into the phone GUI immediately afterwards. Usually bluetooth stack issues in the ROM if it doesn't. Not a bug in ARUR.
[Android General] AgentJz:
Or from the phone bluetooth disable the phone connection within the Appradio bluetooth connection and you will see your phone screen the whole time.
[Android General] 400ixl:
That will disable the microphone for the HU being enabled though won't it?
[Android General] jUsT2eXy:
Hi. Thanks for your reply.

When you say "switch back into the phone GUI immediately afterwards" do you mean that as soon as the Pioneer phone GUI exits (after call has ended) and I am back to the Pioneer Splash Screen that I should select the icon which takes me to my Android Phone/Apps (sorry I cannot remember the name of the icon)?

Because that method takes up to 20 seconds as my connection with the headunit has ended and reconnection can take up to 20 seconds by which time I could have taken the wrong turn or something. When I used my spare iPhone with Waze and ended a bluetotoh call, the unit took me straight back to the Waze navigation (official Pioneer App).

Also ,are large black bars on either size of the screen normal? (Samsung TW launcher... rooted stock rom)
[Android General] 400ixl:
No, it should just go straight back to whatever the HU was displaying. What you are describing sounds like the bluetooth stack collapsing and then restarting hence back to the HU main screen until the stack restarts and the HU detects it again. That is a phone / ROM issue.

Samsung's Touchwiz launcher is not very compatible with the Pioneer HU, better off switching to something like Apex or Nova for a Launcher.
[Android General] jUsT2eXy:
Thanks for your quick reply. That 'stacking issue' describes my problem.

I have now installed Nova Pro and I will see if the Black Bars / Landscape mode work better...BUT how can I fix the stack issue / identify the problem?
[Android General] AgentJz:
Not sure all my voice commands worked and calls too...maybe they just heard me through the phone mic.
[Android General] BrianBaker:
So,i have the paid version of ARUR and want to use my AR3 GPS instead of my phones GPS..I have to convert ARU-R to a system app? Can anyone help me out or direct me to a way to do this? Thanks

EDIT: Nevermind I see it on Page 1..
[Android General] 400ixl:
Pretty much guaranteed on an S3 as it doesn't do voice commands via the HU mic. So not a solution for most people who keep the phone out of the way and want to use the superior quality of the HU mic.
[Android General] rob7191:
Got the s5 now casting via chromecast just need to get the touch working on the pioneer.
[Android General] 400ixl:
You will need root and SELinux in permissive. Or just root if using the paid for ARUR app.
