Seems that with the newest release (ARU.12) is connecting with better consistency ... It connects 100% of the time since I installed it 2 days ago ... The only thing I am concerned with is how hot it gets and the battery drains a little faster than it charges ... Is there any way to fix this issue other than a different Rom ... I am cool with doing a simple root and keeping stock, but flashing Roms is not my thing .
[Android General] -=Jeff=-:
Yeah original app works fine no issues.. My RAZR maxx works great with new app.

Any suggestions for another stick to try? Out maybe get a ptv3000 and try wireless with my new MAXX
[Android General] bodieism:
You don't have to install a different ROM, but you could flash a different kernel. I use ktoonsez's KT-SGS4 kernel, which has an option for fast charging. It's limited to 900 ma I think, but that might be enough to keep your device charged once the Developer has mock locations working for GPS. I wish someone would make a kernel for the S4 like the one I had for my Note 2. It had a user selectable level and I could crank up the fast charging to 1.5 amps :D
[Android General] -=Jeff=-:
Sweet!!

I have a 1990 ZR-1 that my AR2 is installed in
[Android General] Area51©:
That's a common issue. About the heat, there's not much you can do about it. I don't know about Samsung but for my Nexus 4 I needed a kernel with fast charge option to be able to get more current to load. Which will heat up the phone even more. Maybe some other Samsung users have an idea?
[Android General] bodieism:
I don't have the heat issue that most people seem to have on the S4... even with fast charging activated unless I'm storing the phone in the center console (even then it takes 1 hour or more to cause problems). I wonder if that could be part of the issue.

For those of you that have the heat issue, where are you storing your phone? Is it out in the open or in a closed compartment that is shut off from air flow?

Automated Allshare Tip

For those of you with Tasker, Secure Settings, and the Allshare dongle:

In Tasker make a new task. Go to Plugin then Secure Settings. Hit the edit button beside of configuration and scroll down and select run command. Then in the "Enter your executable command here" box enter "am start -a com.sec.android.allshare.intent.action.CAST_START" without the quotes. In the option boxes below make sure to check "Use Root" and "Wait for process". Make sure to save Task.

Voila! You now have a task for automatically connecting to your Allshare dongle. This worked on my Note 2 and it's also working on my S4. After your initial setup of the device it shouldn't require any interaction on your part. So if you timed it right you could tell that task to start say, 30 seconds or so after it saw you were connected to your car's radio.

---------- Post added at 11:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 AM ----------

If you have Tasker you could have it auto set the screen timeout to whatever you wanted. There may be other apps that could accomplish this as well.

Did you order the Samsung adapter directly from Samsung? There are lots of stories of counterfeits being sold on eBay and Amazon. The fact that yours disconnects from the slightest movement makes it sounds like a connection issue so I don't think that changing ROMs will help. The adapter that I ordered from Samsung fits pretty tight and I can move it around without it disconnecting.
[Android General] silashj:
Not as far as I know. I am not aware of that feature or setting but unless it is set by default than I am definitely not using it. That being said, I am going through all settings again to triple check.

Thank you SO much.

Indeed I am using the Pioneer CD-AH200C "App Connectivity Kit"
[Android General] -=Jeff=-:
So out of luck at this point? the earlier version of your ARU (11) tracked better on the inverted XY.. I was thinking of trying Finless 1.4 ( have 1.6) as I think it uses an earlier kernal (4.1.1 vs 4.2.2)
[Android General] Area51©:
As I was having a bit of a lazy day I tried it on my stick too. Today didn't have the slow bluetooth issue.

I tried the stock app and it works.

I tried ARU and it seems to work. However calibration is way off. It kinda tracks in the right direction but the scale seems wrong. When going from right to left it seems to go at twice the speed. When going up or down it seems to track at half the speed.

This was with version 0.12. I can get touches registered though. If I compensate for the wrong scale I can select a program on the screen and it gets activated.

I got a report from the other guy and it seems the same issue as I have.

Does this match your issue?
[Android General] Area51©:
I did some more testing with my stick. Version 0.11 actually works. The only issue is that the task bar at the bottom can't be reached.

This is the same behaviour as the original app.

So I can comfirm that 0.12 has some error when switching to Invert XY mode. At calibration I noticed that the first 2 balls get registered at incorrect coordinates but the last 2 are at correct coordinates.
[Android General] -=Jeff=-:
My touches register but the cursor position does not, so it will not activate anything on a touch with mine, yet the pioneer app works, I see the same issue for the touch accel/decel as you do with 12, with 11

I also see where it does not get to the bottom menu
[Android General] Area51©:
It's really weird that the cursor position doesn't register. One question about 12, if you kinda compensate for the wrong coordinates, is it possible to activate anything at all?
[Android General] fil327:
Just wondering

Area51 you have done/doing a great job with this app so please dont take any offense to what I am about to say and ask. I used both apps the modded Drive Link and ARU and I am just trying to figure out which one is better. ARU (except gps) and Drive Link (working gps)on the AR3 and S4 works just fine, so I found myself going back and forth from ARU to DL while riding down the highway using all the correct cables. I just didnt get it, both modded apps do the same thing right, give me the ability to use my apps off my phone? So why use one or the other,again please do not be offended I am just trying to figure out which app I should devote my attention to. Thanks
[Android General] nfaust01:
The modded drive drive link uses the USB connection which is slower than hdmi. So if you want to watch videos there is tons of lag in Drive link. I found more connection issues and or time to connect with drive link. Yes it works but IMO ARU is way better even with GPS not working YET. And I do mean YET.

The only advantage of Drive Link is it will work on ANY mirror link compatible car deck.
[Android General] Outlaw199:
Had everything working flawlessly with my Nexus 5, then I switched to OnePlus One. I have discovered that wiring this thing to the head unit is out of the question; anybody had any luck streaming it wirelessly with this phone? I would need full touch capabilities for it to be with it.
[Android General] EMINENT1:
Makes sense. Thanks. I thought the G2 already was capable.

Anyone have any experience with a working kernel for Sprint G2 or rom too?
[Android General] stargate125645:

1. Have u searched this thread to see if others had luck with the LG3?

2. Do u see ur phone on the HU but no touches?

3. Does the Pioneer original appradio app works with ur phone and HU?

4. It should charge, unless ur phone require an additional adapter like the samsung devices or nexus devices.

battery gets down - Note 3

hi there

i got the Note 3 and connecte it with a MHL-Cable to the Appradio DA 110.

i'm Using ARU 0,16

It Works, sometime it ,lags a bit, mostly at the keyboard but it coult be ok, if there was note my biggest problem: my battery looses 10% in 30 minutes.

I tried a lot: untervoltig (-25mv), Display dark as possible, WLAN an Mobile Data off, deinstalled Apps like Google+, WatchOn, Talt etc...

i also tried 2 different MHL-Cables (a long and a short)... I Used an extra 2400mA Charger... but the Battery gets always down...

here some Infos about my Rom/Kernel

Rom Name:

Civ_FlexKat Version Rev_6.4

Kernel: 3.4.39~CivZ-KK_Xplorer-Rev1.6-N9005~Civato@ubuntu #1

Basisbandversion N9005XXUFNG2

any Ideas whats else i could do?
[Android General] FastKatt317:
1) No, going with the, "all Android" concept

2) No, Apps button is grey

3) No, not supported. That's why I'm here

[Android General] m.a.s.e:
1. Not sure what u mean.... going "all android" doesnt block u from searching to see if ur questions were answered in the past...

2. u need an adapter for ur phone. a simple google search on reddit showed that others with ur phone and this app needed to buy :

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GM96SWM/

3. see #2.

4. See #2.

source: http://www.reddit.com/r/LGG3/comments/2ay5ga/lg_g3_and_mirrorlink/

PS - the GPS injector is needed if you are going to use ur HU GPS instead of ur phone GPS. (not subjected only to 210 HU).
[Android General] FastKatt317:
1) Fixed by #2, thanks

2) Looks like that cord completely replaced the factory interface box

3) #2 should fix it, thanks

4) I'm not sure this is gong to fix the charging issue? It might b4 sensing voltage/amps?

I'll order the cord on payday and report back. Thanks for your help! =)

I thought the injector was because of the missing HU GPS? Would using the HU GPS be beneficial? Heat, battery charging time? I was guessing I'd be using Waze from the phone?
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Not sure whats ur phone specs. but the HU provide 1.1, if ur phone ONLY accepts 2.1 then yeah, the HU will not provide enough power and in that case u will need to charge ur phone via regular cigarette lighter 2.1 USB charger and use miracase instead or read up on ur phone specs if it accept 1.1amp charger....

most cell phones do...
[Android General] FastKatt317:
I was editing my post when you replied [MENTION=4282253]m.a.s.e[/MENTION]
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
using ur HU GPS antenna is MUCH better then using ur phone GPS. from all the reasons u wrote and more....

better signal (its ur CAR GPS).

less CPU on ur phone.

Less battery on ur phone.

Less heat on ur phone.

u will be able to use WAZE on ur HU using ur HU GPS antenna but using ur phone DATA connection.

What the Injector app do is actually changing an advanced parameter on ur phone to allow mock locations thus allow ur HU to use ur app with its own GPS and trick ur phone that ur navigation app is actually using ur phone GPS (whilst its not). If it wasnt there ur phone would ***** that it need GPS on to use the navigation....

Area51 developed a new app called ARU-Reloaded which has the GPS injector app build it, and u wont need 2 apps (aru and injector).

but it is still in testing by a small group of ppl (myself included).

---------- Post added at 04:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:05 AM ----------

Also dont forget to change ur HU appradio connection to "other" from "iphone".
[Android General] Dharmaboy75:
Thanks kind sir
[Android General] EMINENT1:
How well is reloaded working so far?

Also, if i'm using the Yav1 radar app, that can use the phone gps for locking out false alarms, does the injector allow Yav1 to utilized the ar3 gps too so I can completely shut off gps on the phone?
[Android General] Area51©:
Reloaded is working quite well. It now has all the features I want it to have. One more round of testing and taking out a few bugs and it's ready for release. Reloaded is still on pre-sale for $20 and has built-in Injector so do not need to buy that. You don't need the phone's GPS to be active. However for some phones Mock locations won't work unless the built-in GPS is switched on.

[Android General] gjlowe:
So I have been having a weird issue lately where the Mock Locations thing is not turned off after disconnecting my phone, so no other GPS apps seem to be able to acquire a real GPS lock. I even manually turn that off, but have to reboot for it to kick in.
[Android General] anujpuri85:
I've browsed through the forum but can't seem to find an answer/resolution to my problem.

I currently have a tmobile samsung note 3 (rooted/unlocked with a custom rom installed) and my headunit is the pioneer avic-7000nex which has appradio functionality. connection wise, i have an hdmi and usb connected to the MHL cable, which then connects to my phone. bluetooth is also connected and working. I can get pioneer's appradio app working and it connects. touch works as well. when I try to use ar unchained, touch doesn't work. I get to the calibration screen and every time i touch the screen i get the red hand. any ideas? I tried turning off knox and what not through both terminal and through xposed framework, but neither of those helped. any other suggestions?
[Android General] clem_ita:
Kudos to OP for this great app! I'm evaluating the purchase of this head unit and the availability of this app is making me more prone to pulling the trigger.

May I ask a question to all of you? Are you happy with your setup? Would you buy it again if you could go back or would you buy something different?

I need to buy a new Bluetooth-enabled HU for hands-free calling and for listening the music from phone memory. My original plan was to buy a simple HU (with 80-100€ you can already get a very good one), then place my phone next to it with a 5€ holder for navigation.. Now that I've seen online review this Pioneer is really tempting: it would allow to have everything on the big screen, including Google Maps and Google Now! But it's quite expensive..
[Android General] john94si:
I have same exact scenario but i have a 4000nex..
[Android General] Dharmaboy75:
I have the same model. I wonder if we should create a thread for ARUnchained and some basic troubleshooting tips. I have the 4000NEX and a Cyanogenmod 10.2.1 Galaxy Nexus running Franco Kernel.

URU is started after BT connects for phone calls to my stereo. Worked fine for 2 days but today that damn RED X FINGER.

john PM me and see if we can hash it out.

Nexus 5 and 7

So I tried this both with my rooted nexus 5 and 7. All stock google images, unlocked, and rooted.

Nexus 5: L Developer Preview (I assume that will be buggy)

Nexus 7(2013,LTE): 4.4.3

Head Unit: AVH-4000NEX

They both connect to the radio for bluetooth audio and phone(just the nexus 5). They both sync contacts and call data.

They generally both show a red x/bluetooth sign within the ARU app itself. Although the 7 shows the ==== sign with the bluetooth logo. I'm not sure what else to do. It looks like ARU is running as a system app on both. I haven't tested with a slimport yet as i'm waiting for it to arrive but I figured I could at least get basic app radio support and maybe wireless mirroring (confused if this part is an actual capability of the app).

Carkeyboard app is selected for both.

The head unit it set to Other and HDMI under Smartphone setup.

Please help! :)
[Android General] Dharmaboy75:
What head unit do you have?
[Android General] dclarolh:
Woops. I have the 4000NEX.
[Android General] Dharmaboy75:
So do a few of the guys posting in this thread. I think many of us purchased this head unit with the function of mirroring instead of the Appradio Pioneer app which is crap. Maybe I'll start a thread for androids that are compatible in the list Pioneer supplied. I think i found a sure fire method that works but the red finger X put a snag in that. We 4000nex owners need a simple sure fire way of getting this damn unit to work given the money we shelled out. Agreed?
[Android General] dclarolh:
Whatever helps! I just want to make sure the basic functionality works first and then focus on what I really want to do such as mirroring. I don't see it working until I get at least that far. It almost sounds as though there just needs to be a few additions to the FAQ or maybe a video/instructions from start to finish. You see all these videos of it working successfully but nothing about getting to that point.
[Android General] stargate125645:
You just hook it up. If you are properly rooted and have necessary security permissions there's nothing else unless you are using a stick. With that said, people seem to have more problems with the 4000.
[Android General] dclarolh:
Well that's why i'm posting here. Hoping someone can help me figure out why it's not working after doing all that.

Galaxy S5 SElinux Permissive, full mirror and touch functionality

Thanks to this thread, APU MOD, and XDA I was able to get my Appradio to fully integrate with my S5 using Chromecast.

I made a video that gives an overview of what needed to happen to work, what I am running, and a quick demo showcasing the functionality. I am new to all of this, never really rooted before, so I was quite fun to research and learn. Hopefully this video can help with anyone who is looking to do what I have done.

EDIT:

I have been doing more research than positing so I cannot link here

Samung Galaxy S5 Wireless mirror on Pioneer App Radio3 with touch control

[Android General] Dharmaboy75:
This is pretty cool idea. The biggest issue with getting mirroring is all the steps. With Tasker it will be a one click fix and should be able to just have your phone plugged in to usb for charging.

You avoid having all the wires etc. very cool. I should try this at home as I have Chromecast. Just as a test.
[Android General] dredq:
The AppRadio 3 is amazing. In my experience, once you get it set up which takes awhile and there is a learning curve it works so well it is worth the money and time.

I had never heard of rooting a phone prior to starting this process. It took me about a month to get things working. People on this forum have been great assisting me in getting the phone HU connected. I have learned a lot about phones and that has been a great experience as well.

Once you figure out the process of connecting with your particular phone, in my experience the connection is very quick with ARU-R (the new app being tested) for your daily drive.

Pretty much anything you can do on your phone you can do on the HU including video (which I would not recommend while driving). Maps and navigation work great. The one thing you cannot do is use voice commands, although one person indicates he has been able to this. So who knows.... You are going to have to figure out whether it is worth your time and money. I think it is, but only you can make that decision.

[Android General] Burwell:
Going slightly off topic here but did anyone else's AppRadio come with a factory protective/anti-glare film on their screen? I did a search but only found one or two mentions of it on Google.

It was collecting a lot of finger prints and at first I thought it was a standard peelable cover new phones come with. After picking at the edge I started to think this is not supposed to be removed but I had reached the point of no return so I tore the entire thing out. The bottom edge was buried under the push button bezel so I had to pull gently to remove it entirely. Anyway, just curious cause I see a number of people looking for screen protectors.
[Android General] dredq:
There was a plastic shipping type screen on my Appradio 3. It was not a screen protector.
[Android General] anujpuri85:
So, I just tried again several times and I finally got touch to work. What I did this time is I plugged in the wire before I turned bluetooth on. Once it connected, the touch worked. Perhaps this will help the rest of you with Nex's?

Just got hold of a Chromecast, not sure if I will get time to do much this weekend but have set it up so that it runs from the wifi hotspot on the phone. Need to do a tasker profile next to start the hotspot (easy) and then fire off the full screen cast.

The second part is easy with dpad commands but would nice to find a command way of doing it through an intent or similar. Will have a look, but if you solve that then let us know. I'll do likewise.
