Ok, it's as following and about multitouch on the screen:

1) In developer setting enable 2 settings called something like a) show touches and b) show cursor location

2) Connect to the radio etc. and put something in the back that really does not react to anything. I found the perfect useless app for that is called screen & system info. Install and start that app.

3) Now touch the screen with 2 fingers and you will see those 2 touches registered.

4) Lift up one of your fingers, one touch should still be registered where the remaining finger is touching

5) Put back the one you lifted and lift the other finger, one touch should still be registered where the remaining finger is touching

6) The bug is now that in case 4 or 5 the one finger that still touches is not registered at the right position anymore but when you put back the finger that you lifted both are registered at the correct position.

If you don't encounter that behaviour then they fixed that bug in 8.05 and would be a reason to upgrade for us.

I encountered this when testing multitouch and thought I made an error. Then I tried on AR2 and there it worked fine.
[Android General] Area51©:
I think also there's no difference. I have no idea why it's not working. Only thing might be that AppRadio App thinks calibration is not finished and then does not save.
[Android General] kachaffeous:
Still broke, lol. Also I notice the HU only recognizes 2 touches max. Did the test on my phone screen and it worked fine. Did test on HU and it is just like you described.
[Android General] Area51©:
Right, no reason to do the upgrade then. I wonder if we should submit this problem to Pioneer. If anyone from Pioneer is reading here, please fix it in the next firmware!

Still having intermittent problems with GPS injector. Once I launch it, what is the proper way to "go back" without killing it? Should I be using the hardware button on my S4 because that doesn't appear to work. When I use google maps, I see a triangle in my menu bar and pulling down notification it says "searching for gps signal" I could have sworn it was working earlier, but don't know how I did it.
[Android General] Area51©:
You know you can monitor the status by starting the GPS Injector app? After you exit out of AppRadio App by back key, we know Injector service is not working well anymore. Just go to GPS Injector app. Push Stop button, push Start button, then you should see the Msg counter counting up and it should be working. You should watch the status, it should be Connected. If is stil doesn't work, what is the status that you see?

I am working on a solution, actually just finished it and did some tests, seems to work well. Now just looking whether I need to add some more fixes.
[Android General] hoops129:
OK. I didn't notice the Msg counter. I'll look for that. I assume I should also see the correct MPH when using CarHome Ultra if it's working properly. Look forward to the fix. Thx.

Question about 14

Now that you have gps injector up and running can i turn gps on the phone off and use the gps installed on HU?

If so that would help alot since i can now use screen standby without gps loss

Please let me know

Thanks
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Yes u can
[Android General] basmand:
Hi

Just came on an idea, when I come home from job, I will try to connect my wireless mouse and do the calibration with the mouse instead of touch screen and see if that changes something. (just an idea!!!!!!)

Basmand:confused:
[Android General] FingerBlastJ:
Tried testing nav with gps turned off on the phone and it just asks me to turn on locations.

Also tried SS and still no gps even with ARU 14.

By no gps i mean when i go into google nav app, i get the continuous spinning wheel, doesnt necesarrily mean that gps injector is no good (i think).
[Android General] gbual:
Using Aru 14 with a note 3. Everything works great. GPS injector works perfect with TomTom app. I have my phone GPS off and everything works. Thanks Area51!!
[Android General] Area51©:
Sorry but won't work, you have to do calibration from the radio touch screen.
[Android General] Area51©:
You will need the additional ARUnchained GPS Injector app. It's being tested now and will be available from the play store soon.
[Android General] basmand:
Thanks

Well just a bad idea!!!!!

Basmand:good:
[Android General] elpkingbad:

[Android General] Area51©:
Just trying to save you some useless work;)
[Android General] basmand:
Yes thanks I know, and I am very grateful for that, I have unfortunately not the technical knowledge to figure out how the system works!!! I was just trying to bypass that "Dam" calibration mode!!

Basmand
[Android General] RipZZ:
how many spots will appear during calibration with the phone? In stick calibration always I see 4 spots, not 5. Maybe problem in this?
[Android General] Area51©:
I think it's flexible 4-6. Anyway, I noticed that calibration "expects" touches in some area during calibration. If the actual touch is too far off, it will cancel calibration. I think with sticks maybe the touches are not precise enough yet (AppRadio app can't handle tablet ui well) and that because of this the calibration may be cancelled. To check if touches are close enough to the actual touch you can enable two developer options called something like "show touches" and "show cursor locations". If you know how much the touches are off, you maybe try to compensate for this and finally do a "successful" calibration. Let me know if that works.

When GPS is finished I will look into this, to see if I can fix the calibration for tablets and also KitKat.
[Android General] basmand:
Hi

Just for info, I did as you described, and did the compensation so I was nearly bang on every time in calibration test, but no luck, still don't save touch!!

Basmand
[Android General] Area51©:
Too bad. Can you try the original pioneer AppRadio app? If that one works, then I know it doesn't work because it's something I changed. Also if that one works you can make a copy of the file where the calibration settings are saved and copy it back later when ARU is installed.
[Android General] basmand:
Hi

Yes I will do that when I return from job. Where do I find calibration file

Basmand
[Android General] Area51©:
In /data/data/jp.pioneer.mbg.appradio.AppRadioLauncher/shared_prefs

Then there a few files there, I think the file for the calibration settings is:

DeviceScreenInfo.xml

I guess it would be ok to copy all files.
[Android General] basmand:
Thanks

You will have an answer later this afternoon!!

[Android General] mika4real:
Might be something about the devices screen size parameters and as a stick has no screen its running in to problems?
[Android General] basmand:
Hi

I have now installed the original APPRADIO from Pioneer it is the same problem, don't save touch input. But I think one thin is strange when I go to device/data!! there is nothing in that folder and I have checked settings to that folder they are read and write?? Will try to fund out where jp.pioneer.mbg.appradio.AppRadioLauncher/shared_prefs are stored on the stick?? maybe the empty data folder has something to do with this issue??

Hey guys, I'm using the nexus 5. Can someone recommend a good slimport adapter? Thanks in advance .
[Android General] basmand:
Hi

After I installed Root Explorer I can see data in "device/data/data" but I cant find any file that contents calibrations data. Then I did a test install on my Samsung S4 without any problems with calibration, so now I am going through these files to see if I can find anything!!

Analogix SlimPort SP1003 is the one you want to get. You can plug a USB charger into this one as well to charge at the same time.
[Android General] hoops129:
If I am in app mode and using google maps (or waze), is there a way to listed to the radio?

Also, how do you force a recalibration of the touch screen? It seems like the button presses are not very precise in mirrorlink mode.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Yes, you double press the home button and use the mix mode.
[Android General] kachaffeous:
This was linked earlier and is what I use. Personally tested it with Nexus 5 and Lg G2. Only thing I don't like about it is the micro usb is a little short. Wish it was longer so I could leave the hdmi cable/usb cable from radio behind the dash. Guess I could always buy an extension but not sure if that messes with anything relating to the video portion of the slimport.

Has anyone reported success using 4.4 kitkat? Recently installed it on my SGS3 I have ARU running, screen standby seems to work fairly well. Only issue I seem to be coming across is even when connected and touch screen working perfectly, audio is still coming out of my phone and not the speakers in my car. When I long press the home key on my head unit and the voice dialer comes up, the google voice goes thru the speakers, and thats it :\
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
check the "while docked" audio settings in KitKat
[Android General] stayupthetree:
Does my phone need to be connected to bluetooth to see it? Im not finding the option currently.
[Android General] hoops129:
I see. I guess to change bands (am to fm) I still need to exit app mode which will disconnect my gps. I also noticed that the voice guidance doesn't work when I use the mix mode. Is that normal?
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
click on home button on ur phone. that will exit out to ur home page without exit ARU.

voice guidance will not work in mix mode cause u tell the appradio head unit u are using a different audio source from the phone which is using appraido mode.
[Android General] hoops129:
That stinks. I guess I'll just have to follow the screen if I want to listen to the radio. Does anyone have a "source" button on their steering wheel? Does it change the am/fm source when in radio mode? That's the only thing that I can't control when I'm in appradio mode. I'm thinking I can remap one of the bluetooth buttons on my steering wheel to change the source (if someone can confirm it works with the HU).
[Android General] leobg:
You can change radio bands to preset stations from the shortcut too (double tap on the home button and look on the left side where it says the band. You can change the presets from there.
[Android General] stargate125645:
Yeah same problem with Google maps.

---------- Post added at 07:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 PM ----------

That defeats the purpose. No battery savings if phone GPS is on. Best option is to find a way around it as I suggested earlier or Google Maps is not usable. I abhor Waze.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Phone GPS does not need to be on for Google maps. Works perfectly for me.
[Android General] stargate125645:
...Yes it does. As has been explained, Maps is not the Navigation feature. And since I'm not the only one with the issue, your phone working (assuming you are doing what has been explained as the issue) does not help since it is not indicative of reality for everyone.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
I am talking about this app: (see image)

That being said,

I have been actively answering almost every single person on this thread since page one. I understand my phone working does not help your issue. But since you are not the only person in the world when someone reply to you AND you decide to reply back if this was discussed before link to the details. Can't realy expect anyone to read your mind now, can't you.

Anyway good luck with your issue, as mentioned it is working for me so it's either a problem with your phone or a setting u have/missed.

Latest beta GPS injection app has been thoroughly tested is scenarios that wernt even discussed in this thread in the G+ community and private emails. Next version works perfectly with or without tasker scenarios even when fc both apps. I recommend waiting for the final release.

Your choice, good luck
[Android General] lpasq:
FYI... Gmaps does not work for me, like stargate... the navigation function works fine. I agree that Waze is an acquired taste. Who else has 100% Google Maps working with ARU GPS correctly installed? That means maps works perfect. What is your setup and do you run mock locations?
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Question. Which android version are u and which kernel?

I'm on 4.3.1 aokp/cm KT kernel

Waze works perfect cause it uses the pioneer SDK built it so it don't even use the aru GPS.

Gmaps and the rest of the gang must use aru gps with mock locations.

Mock locations will b enabled by default via system app.

When u run gmaps can u switch back to aru gps to see if u have a count with connected status? Can u share a screenshot?

I remember u mentioned before u did put it as a system app, right?
[Android General] bodieism:
Last time I tested my N3 with Google Maps it worked great... no annoying messages popped up telling me to turn on GPS. I used Titanium Backup to convert the GPS injector app into a system app and I did not turn on mock locations (the app must have done it for me). The GPS Injector did not start automatically for me, but once I manually started it, it worked great.

I remember having issues with Google Maps before getting the N3 so something either changed in Samsung's software or Google fixed the issue. I'm leaning towards something having changed with Samsung's software.

---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------

I'm thinking this might play a role. I remember my S4 having the issue with it telling me to turn on GPS, but at the time I was running Android 4.2.2. Seeing as your on 4.3.1 and I'm now on Android 4.3 and it's working for both of us, I'm thinking maybe something changed between those versions that fixes the problem the others are experiencing.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Hmmmm interesting. Sounds logical though as there was a maps update for sure between 4.2 and 4.3.x .
[Android General] hoops129:
I'm on 4.3.1 and Google maps is working for me without the phone's GPS enabled. Mock locations is on. I can see the Msg count increasing when I open the GPS injector app.
[Android General] stargate125645:
People need to use clearer terminology. Simply using Google Maps is not using the navigation feature. It does no good to turn on Maps and say it works when you haven't tried to have it give you navigation guidance in the quasi-3D view. (Quite frankly, simply saying "it works for me" is nothing more than a slap in the face, but that's for another discussion.)

It wouldn't surprise me if it's a Samsung issue, though the most recent version of Google Maps (again, Google Maps is a standalone program - it does not depend upon Android version!) broke mock locations and that was without an update from Samsung. Either way, it has always required phone GPS to be enabled for navigation guidance. Is this no longer an issue with the S4? If so, hopefully an S3 update will fix the issue.
[Android General] lpasq:
ARUGPS is system app. N5 4.4 stock kernel. Mock locations selected. Confirmed that the state of ARUGPS so connected and reading data. Gmaps navigation works fine as evident by display of location on route showing vehicle heading and map orientation correct to forward facing vehicle relative to compass north. Gmaps used only to display map and tracking position orients map and vehicle direction per my phones GPS. My phone is stored facing rear of car. So the non navigation map is displaying as such. Will dump a logcat to dev next opportunity.

NavFree, Waze, and Copilot work 100‰

[Android General] hoops129:
Yes, I can navigate using google maps without using the phone's gps. The whole point of the gps injector is to use gps from the head unit without using the phone's gps. So I wouldn't be telling you that google maps works if I have to use the phone's gps. I am using an S4, but I also have an S3 so I'll try it on that too and report back.
[Android General] Area51©:
I think for this whole discussion we have to distinguish two cases as following:

1) Google maps is working or not

2) Google navigation is working or not

Google maps is working or not:

Google maps is the app that shows your position on the map. So if it shows the correct position on the map when using ARU GPS Injector with the phone GPS switched off it's working.

Google navigation is working or not

When you search for a destination in Google maps and it's found, there's a bar shown with the destination name and a car icon and a time. Hit the icon and a dialog is shown from which you can start Google navigation. Once started it will give you turn by turn instructions so now you are in Google navigation. if it now shows the correct position on the map and gives the right instrutcions when using ARU GPS Injector with the phone GPS switched off it's working.

In either case if it tells you to switch on the phone's GPS and you do so, GPS Injector will still work as mock locations has higher priority. Only you won't be able to save energy by switching off the phone's GPS.

As with everything, using mock locations has it's limitations. However there's no other way to make an external GPS available to every app without having to change that app. Apparently these limitations depend on the android version used and/or the gmaps / gnavigation version used.
[Android General] stargate125645:
You say that, but given responses of many on here it is not a given.

Best case scenario is that it is a Samsung issue so a phone upgrade will solve it. Otherwise, I'll have to suffer through Waze for eternity. I could probably make due if I knew that the AR3 worked with Waze for voice, but no one can give a straight answer on AR3 voice capabilities, either.
[Android General] Area51©:
If you are saying Gnavigation is using HU GPS and Gmaps is using phone GPS I would say that's impossible. Afaik there can be only one location provider active at any moment in time.
[Android General] Area51©:
Or you could try to live with your GPS being on while HU GPS is being used. Personally I don't care whether the phone GPS has to be switched on or not. Main point is that the HU GPS can be used while the phone is in the glove box where it has no proper GPS reception. Ultimately it's your call. Unfortunately nothing is perfect in this world, sometimes you have to accept that.
[Android General] Area51©:
I am afraid at the moment GPS Injector autostart is tied in with the rotation locker. If I remember correctly you requested the option to disable the location locker. So that's probably why it doesn't autostart for you.

Intent for starting the GPS service is same as for starting only you call startService instead of stopService.
[Android General] 400ixl:
What about linking it to the bluetooth connection state rather than the rotation lock? Or is that too early as advanced app mode may not be requested?

If someone doesn't start appmode on the HU but is connected to bluetooth, does the phone app still get the GPS data fed to it from the HU (obviously using the phone screen). Would go out and try but its chucking it down here.
[Android General] Area51©:
Rotation lock is linked to bluetooth connection state so I took a shortcut to put GPS there, forgot about the option to disable rotation locker. But it's easy to change. I think you can only get AppMode when HU detects HDMI signal.
[Android General] lpasq:
My N5 4.4 stock and Waze voice experience: selecting on screen search microphone uses AR mic and voice search works. Waze Voice Commands enabled but I can only use that hands free from phone because it requires a 3-finger tap or handwave to activate. That means the Voice Commands do not work for me because my phone is stored away and I cannot activate the feature direct from HU.

Maybe so. I plan a video and logcat this weekend.

Update: Turned off all Android location services (phone GPS), injector active, mock locations selected, and Google Maps app 0% operational. There is no location of my position either on the map or navigation. Will logcat soon and PM.
[Android General] bodieism:
There wouldn't have been much point in me even mentioning it if I hadn't tested it for turn by turn directions. I didn't really see the need to use "clearer terminology" since the two are no longer separate. When I said Google Maps worked for me I meant every aspect of it, which includes navigation.

m.a.s.e. has a S4 and stated that his is working. However, when I had my S4 it gave me the same problem that you describe. The only differences between our phones was that m.a.s.e is on a different carrier and on Android 4.3+ while I was on Android 4.2.2. We probably ran different ROMs too.

I also think that Samsung is likely to blame. I don't think I've heard any non Samsung users complain about this issue.

Ahh, makes sense. I have rotation disabled because I use Tasker to force landscape upon MHL connection so that the phone will be in portrait mode until I connect it. I thought I remembered reading a post by m.a.s.e. that stated the startService command wasn't working, but I'm going to plug it into my Tasker profile and give it a try.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
True, when i tried startservice it didnt work.... could be i misspelled or something but i tried with capital S and lower S. either way, next version have a very good fail safe mechanism that basically eliminate the need to add intents, it runs perfect. it will auto start the service at any scenario even after FC both ARU and ARU GPS. (which was very important to me personally cause i wanted to have A2DP without being forced to be on landscapte) [not at all times i wana use appraido mode]
[Android General] lpasq:
i have a logcat for dev and sending a dl link via pm. the session is full connection sequence > disable phone gps > confirm injector active > open google maps > neither map location or the navigation worked at all in google maps app > exited google maps app > checked that injector still active and it was > opened google maps app > map location was working and the navigation also worked

Is it possible to get a version for the android stick MK809 III RK3188 dllya 14 test build?

At 14 version located at the link above does not occur Correctly align the screen.

Thank you!

Yes here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/96flfb06vy6f0ic/arunchained0.14Stick.apk

Note that 3 users now reported that they have to do screen calibration each time they use it. This is not normal, it should be done only once. This is a "feature" made by Pioneer as the original app has the same problem. Let me know if you have that problem too.
