Thank you! Made my decision much easier on both what adapter to use as well as what phone to upgrade to...
[Android General] Area51©:
Then your root is ok. Must be something wrong with my stuff then. I will analyse it later, have to get some sleep first.

There will be no release tonight with the keys working yet. I got the keys working, but I have to add a way to get back to the radio screen.

I came up with some idea how to do it but it crashes. Always difficult to change stuff in existing code. I will try to get it working tomorrow.
[Android General] lpasq:
I confirmed that touches and curser position are only calibrated to phone UI. Both the Phablet and Tablet UI will through the standard location for the Navigation Bar area is curser position above and to the right of touch location.

The official AppRadio App, and phone UI, shows it registers touches with entire area other than the right side vertical nav bar.

The logcat dump of the session, sent as PM, seems to indicate that once the nav bar is set horizontal, the horizontal nav bar placement distorts the touch-active area.

I see that even in phone UI, the far right touches maybe (maybe not) a little inaccurate (touches registered off center to the bottom right...but maybe due to my calibration session???) but the entire screen registers fairly accurate touches. However, move nav bar to bottom/horizontal position and touch accuracy is progressively inaccurate as if the receiving overlay is stretched by either being pulled from the top right corner...or it shrinks in towards the bottom left corner. I have no code/programming skills or technology background but agree with your assumption that "It might be related to tablet UI in general not being detected properly." A video will be posted later; but it won't match logcat session. Notice that the the displayed resolution of the AppRadio Mode Home Screen is different in the first connection state from the second state after a restart.

If you want to reproduce this, try AOKP ROM if your device is supported.

Oh...I only tested AR3 since it is your bench hardware and I'm putting my AR3 in car next week sometime and AR2 will be retired.
[Android General] s0uli:
Take your time Area and have a good sleep! I and i'm sure also the other people can waite for the next release and some more fixed errors ;)
[Android General] rs2k:
Very cool. I need to look into this.

I assume the touch commands sent via bluetooth?

logcat dump pm'd to dev. video of testing >>> http://youtu.be/t2Li4k6Vpqs
[Android General] buzzbamm101:
Awesome video!!!

This is interesting because in my case I touch on the right side where the return, back, and multitask buttons are, I get no response or touch detection. Do you know if that is something to do with the type of phone or an app setting?

Thank you

[Android General] lpasq:
I don't ...but dev has a logcat dump to check out what's going on when phone screen gets adjusted per nav bar size and placement.

Exactly the same issue on X8550BT...but only on soft keyboard & notification page

using button savior in lower side mode its work....but the keyboard didnot.
[Android General] snorr:
freeze after disconnect

at first... great work and thx for doing this job!! :good:

i observed an other problem after using ARU.

every time after disconnecting from AR3 (sph-da110) my Nexus 4 is working normal till it goes into standby... it is not possible to wakeup the phone anymore.

so i have to hold the power button till the device is restarting again.

maybe this is an issue with franco kernel - i first observed this after kernel upgrade r184 (nightly - no stable release available yet). so i stepped back to r183 and everything was working again.

a few days later, after using ARU with the elder kernel r183, the same problems occured... and ARU is not usable anymore because the phone freezes every time after disconnecting.

i will try to send you a catlog... i have never done this before... so this could take some time... :confused:
[Android General] papa3r:
The video is only showing me wireless mirroring connectivity....

Are you install/Run the AppRadio Unchained already?....its need BT connection to ...so you can get touch control on your radio;)
[Android General] rs2k:
Wireless mirroring should work just fine assuming you can so widi and Bluetooth at the same time. I might go to best buy today and pickup a wireless display adapter to see how well it works. I bet it ends up using less power than the slimport does.
[Android General] AllenConder:
The problem isn't that the BT is having trouble connecting, it is. The problem is ARU does not see that it is connected! Every time. A simple manual toggle of the Bluetooth fixes the problem every time.

I can see here some people are using tasker to close and open ARU, which is fine, but sometimes on boot my Bluetooth won't connect and I have to toggle it anyways. So I thought since ARU always opens without problem, why not use taker to toggle BT on every boot? The problem with Sticks are they have no screen to operate if something isn't working and are forced to use Air Remotes. So using Tasker is a huge help
[Android General] Kaczman:
How do you manually toggle bluetooth, or manually toggle ARU?

---------- Post added at 06:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------

Thanks! What are the settings you use for bluetooth auto connect? There are like a hundred.
[Android General] Area51©:
I checked the user manual and the X8500BHS doesn't seem to have a GPS receiver built in. So this would mean there's no GPS data that can be sent from the HU to the phone and the ARU GPS injector is useless.

GPS data is sent from the HU to the phone via BT, the same way as touch information.
[Android General] Area51©:
Simple question, did you root your phone?
[Android General] sjorge3442:
almost bought ARLiberator....just found this.

Do you still need the parking brake bypass relay?
[Android General] Area51©:
For US version, yes. For EU version, just grounding parking brake input is fine.
[Android General] bodieism:
No problem. I didn't change anything. I just opened the app once so that it would activate.
[Android General] Kaczman:
Thanks. I keep seeing people say to change the "Settings" in the head unit from iPhone to android, but I dont see this as an option anywhere.

Was it removed with the latest firmware? Or Added in the latest firmware? I am using the update BEFORE 8.30, as pioneer said DONT UPDATE TO THE LATEST 8.30 unless you are using an iPhone 5.
[Android General] bodieism:
I thought you were talking about the Bluetooth auto connect app. If you are on the AR3 then there should be an option to change iPhone to other under settings on the radio.
[Android General] Kaczman:
Nope, I am on AR2.
[Android General] bodieism:
I don't think the AR2 has that option. It might if you update the firmware, but I wouldn't update unless it offers something you really want.

[Android General] Area51©:
There's no new AppRadio app yet.
[Android General] sterod:
I know, but these will have App Radio mode just like the AVIC's
[Android General] Area51©:
I wonder if these new HUs also won't send the GPS data to the phone in AppRadio mode like the AVIC-Z150BH, AVIC-F50BT and similar because Pioneer wants to keep selling navigation maps for their built in navigation. If so you are better off using a "simple" AR2 or AR3. Those are way cheaper too.

Anyway, the AppRadio app still looks the same but I guess they changed something related to the communication protocol. Will see once a new AppRadio app gets released.
[Android General] shaxs:
How do we test to make sure the gps injector is working correctly? And I had posted awhile back that the settings option on the gps injector does not work. I click menu, settings, and nothing.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Looks like it is going to fit below the AppRadio range and just do some sort of tethering to use data from the phone to update on HU apps.

---------- Post added at 09:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------

Have you made it a system app in system/priv-app and switched on mock locations?

To test, connect it all up and then start the GPS app. It should start showing data, you may need to manually connect it the first time.
[Android General] Area51©:
The GPS Injector doesn't have any settings.
[Android General] shaxs:
I used TB to make it a system app. I then switched on allow mock locations.

When you say start "the GPS app" which are you referring to? Any GPS app?

---------- Post added at 03:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 PM ----------

Ah, the Menu > Settings option was misleading :) Thanks!
[Android General] Area51©:
GPS Injector app. Once you start ARU (when connected to your HU), start the GPS Injector app, it should start showing the GPS location information.

With what HU are you trying this? I think the 8500BHS doesn't have a GPS receiver. So there's no GPS data to inject.
[Android General] shaxs:
When I use TB to convert to a system app, it dissappears from my app drawer. I can find it in /system/app but when I try to run it in Root Explorer, it is wanting me to install it again. So I am not sure how to run this program when it is converted to a system app.

I am using this on an AR3. My wife has the 8500.
[Android General] 400ixl:
I found that just making it a system app in Titanium Backup didn't do enough to make it work. Its a 4.4.x issue I believe. I had to do that and then use Root Browser to move it to priv-app in order for it to work.
[Android General] shaxs:
If I move it from /system/app, will it still be considered a "System App" as needed?
[Android General] 400ixl:
Yes, both are folders under system
[Android General] shaxs:
I do not have a /system/priv-app.

Just /system/app
[Android General] 400ixl:
What version of Android are you running?
[Android General] shaxs:
4.2.2, specifically this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2589439
[Android General] Area51©:
On 4.2.2 it should be moved to /system/app to allow automatic enabling of mock locations.

As a first test however I suggest that you install it the "normal" way and manually enable mock locations in the developer options before starting it.

Once you have that working then I would worry about getting automatic enabling of mock locations working too.
[Android General] shaxs:
Done. I converted it back to a user app and it connects fine. So now I need to it as a system app and get it to run.
[Android General] Kaczman:
So, I feel like I should mention this solved all my problems. Seriously. Every time I click "play" on your task, it works with no issues. But I have to do it every time. To everyone having the 75% failed or ARU not realizing bluetooth is connected, this is the answer to your problems. I tried it out about 5 times since you posted this, and it worked each time.

Any way to automate the task when I plug in MHL/HDMI? Im not too familiar with tasker. Thanks again. This was driving me nuts.
[Android General] bodieism:
You can also add a Tasker widget to your homescreen and select that task so that you don't have to go into Tasker to select the run task option, which looks like a play button.

There is an option under states for HDMI. You could make a new profile that launched that Task on HDMI connection. I would go 1 step further and also add state bluetooth connected so that the task would only be launched when it detected both your radio's bluetooth connection and HDMI connection. That way it wouldn't run if you connected the MHL/HDMI from your phone to your TV.

Edit: Setting it up would be very similar to this.
[Android General] Altaman:
My AR3 came in today!

Well my SPH-DA210 came in today, now just have to wait for it to be installed...then can see how ARU works with it. Febuary 4th can't come to soon for me.

So the HU wont play video out to rear monitors? That sucks. I was planning on buying the x8500bhs and ARU with the sole purpose of streaming netflix on the HU and the rear monitors. Guess we cant have it all. Is there a way to hack the HU to allow the video to be displayed on the rear monitors? My current kenwood unit has a stting where I can output either dvd playback, ipod video or even navigation to the rear monitors.
[Android General] basmand:
Hi

Thanks for you answer, I think that I will take a look on tasker, but I am working in an other direction, I will newer let stick boot, always be on power. Hopefully that issue is finally fixed this week, when I received my components (4700uf capacitor + Diode 6v)

[Android General] AllenConder:
So I received 2 different Android Mini PCs for Christmas. One didn't have Bluetooth,MINIX Neo x5 Mini, (not x5 regular I wanted) and a Probox2 that worked for a week and cr**ed out.

Sent an email to exchange both. Any suggestions on sticks? Im reading the RK3188 is easy to root.
[Android General] ForLeeWase:
It plays video out to rear monitors from almost every source except from AppRadio signal (so I can watch in rear monitors ipod/sd video, dvd, tdt, raspberry pi but not any video or streaming from the phone). At least in my HU, but it could be the same with the 8500.

I tried to split the HDMI signal (one to the HU and the other to a RCA conversor for the rear monitors) and even get it to work in the rear monitors, the image was wrong in AppRadio mode (horizontal bars) and could not be used ARL (I didn't try with ARU).

I linked in this post a video where you can see my setup for the rear monitors: youtube.com/watch?v=z3VfgmiZG5A

GPS Voice Sound

When running Google Maps or CoPilot the voice guidance comes through the phone not the car speakers.

Any ideas?
[Android General] Area51©:
It should work however some combinations of Android and apps still have problems with routing audio to HDMI correctly.

Apparently there's a workaround possible with an app called Soundabout, the free version should be sufficient.

This thread discusses Soundabout as a solution: http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...ssories/280262-samsung-mhl-hdmi-no-sound.html

Maybe you can try that and report back here?
[Android General] ixian:
This might be an odd question, but I was setting up ARU with my Nexus 5 on my AppRadio 3, configuring Tasker and all that, and I was prepared to install the parking brake bypass - I'm in the US, and got one off Amazon - but I've noticed that it doesn't seem to need it? With my N5 using Slimport I can see and interact with the full screen just fine, play media, even Netflix works. It's done this every time over the last two days without fail - no warnings.

Is this expected? I thought I needed the bypass. Should I install it anyway, i.e. is this just a glitch or something?

Thanks so much for this app by the way, it works great, even my steering wheel controls work with Google Play Music. I set up Tasker to launch the app on HDMI connection and via rotation locker put it in landscape, then dim the screen - the only thing I am missing is a way to use Tasker to put apps in to immersive mode. I have GravityBox, immersive mode is enabled and works, I just can't figure out how to automate that with Tasker. Anyone know?
[Android General] TEK112:
I noticed the same thing. A happy accident.
[Android General] WildBillMassey:
Holy **** I was about to give up and get rid of my AR3 when I came across this app. Great work! As soon as I find out who to send the money to, I will!

Now have this working with my Note 2 and the NetGear Push2TV adapter for a clean wireless experience.:o
[Android General] Area51©:
What took you so long? ;)

How is the lag? Not too bad?

I just ordered this kinda cheap adapter: Tronsmart T1000 Mirror2TV Wireless Display HDMI Adapter Support Miracast DLNA EZCAST AirPlay to give it a try.
[Android General] WildBillMassey:
I finally had to go with the Netgear as the other one I used, RocketFish, always wanted me to press the WPA button, which if it was in the dash I would not be able to do. The Netgear automatically connects each time I turn the AR3 on.

On the RocketFish, the startup screen did have a menu that would of probably let me set something up so that it would automatically connect, but every time I touched the screen, I would get the red X, so I was never able to get into the menu.

I have not experienced any lag time with the NetGear, I just came back to Canada from the states and used TomTom app and Rocket Player music app and it worked flawlessly for the whole trip.
[Android General] ixian:
I've been meaning to ask you about this as I'm looking to get the Push2TV adapter to do the same thing.

What model? Is it this one: http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Push2TV-Wireless-Miracast-Certified/dp/B00904JILO/ref=dp_ob_title_ce

Is there any special setup you need to do to get it to work automatically, i.e. with Tasker or something?

And finally, seems like you are happy with it - anything about it that's a compromise compared to hard wired hdmi, or things to look out for?
[Android General] WildBillMassey:
Yep, that's the one.

I guess I shouldn't say automatically connects, but rather I do not have to push the WPS button on the Netgear unit. It is hidden behind the AR3 in the dash. Also, to add, all my steering wheel buttons work with this.

My startup procedure is as follows.

Start my truck.

Open AR Unchained. (If not already running)

NetGear window appears on AR3

Connect phone to AR3 via Bluetooth (if it doesn't on its own)

Open Samsung Allshare Cast on phone which recognizes NetGear signal

Connects and is ready to go.

Takes less than 15 seconds for whole procedure, less if AR unchained is already open and Bluetooth connects on its own.

I have not tried a Tasker yet, which I guess would atomate all this, I am new to this stuff. Just learned how to root my phone a couple months ago.:)

I do not notice any difference between hardwire HDMI cable vs wireless. My biggest thing was I wanted no wires other than my charge cord. I haven't tested battery time when not plugged in to power, but I would imagine it sucks some power.
[Android General] ixian:
Being able to hide the Netgear is key.

You really ought to look in to tasker, you can easily automate all of that. If you are using AllShare to get it to auto-connect do this:

Install Tasker and Secure Settings. You can do all kinds of fun things with those besides this but that is besides the point. Also you should install Rotate Locker while you are at it since it has a Tasker plugin too.

In Tasker, create a task using Plugins -> Secure Settings.

Choose "Run Command"

Enter the following:

Code:

am start -a com.sec.android.allshare.intent.action.CAST_START

Check "Wait for process"

Check "Use Root"

Enter a name for the command (anything will work).

Click save.

You can set that up as a profile, then chain other profiles off it and before it.

What I'd do:

Create a profile that contains a task to detect when your AppRadio BT connects.

Chain a task off of that to initial AllShare using the code above.

Chain a task to launch ARU

Finally, create a task via Plugins>Rotate Locker to put it in to Landscape mode

Then clone the profile and basically reverse the above using the "invert" option for tasks in Tasker. It'll make sense when you see it.

From there you can use the screen-off app (link in the OP, also has a tasker plugin) to turn off your screen while keeping video out alive, launch your favorite apps, etc. I do all of the above (minus the AllShare, since I don't have wireless HDMI yet) and have mine launch Waze and Google Play music too.
[Android General] jasoncwms:
Hey everyone, I'm back again because I came across another issue. I'm not even 100% sure if it's even tied to ARU or not (I'm thinking it's not), but I figured I'd ask here to get your feedback.

So I have the Nexus 5, along with the AVH-X8500BHS head unit. ARU itself works fine and everything, but I'm running across an issue with the GPS.

When I first started using ARU a few weeks backs, my favorite nav app, Waze, worked fine with no issues. I'm not sure what changed, or what I did, but now whenever I try to use any navigation app while it's connected to the HU via the slimport adapter/hdmi, the phone's GPS doesn't seem to work. As soon as I disconnect the cable, everything goes back to normal and I can use whatever navigation app with no issues at all.

At one point I thought it was because I installed the Franco kernel on the phone. So I restored the phone back to stock, then rooted it again. Loaded up Waze, no issues at all. But then just like before, when connected to the head unit, the GPS doesn't work.

I even tried uninstalling ARU, and re-installing the regular App Radio app. But I had the same exact results.

Anybody have any ideas?
[Android General] robshabazz:
I'm having the same issue with HTC One using same unit. Another thing I've noticed is the app sound mixing. GPS volume us too loud, can't adjust phone level to balance with head unit level. It's only mute the phone vol or very loud, is there a fix for this.
[Android General] ixian:
Are you getting an error message or does the app otherwise not work? I though apps like Waze communicated directly with the HU GPS when plugged in, without needing the injector. You sure it isn't just using that? What about NavFree, the other Pioneer-approved map app?
[Android General] thracky:
This is basically my issue but it's a bit more complicated for me.

I have an HTC One running CM11 which works great, apart from sometimes I have to toggle BT but that doesn't particularly bother me. However, my wife has a Note 3 running stock that connected once, but now ARU won't recognize that the bluetooth is in fact connected. All the toggling in the world won't make it connect. The screen is displaying properly but ARU simply just won't initiate the connection to the HU even though the BT connection is established. And yes, it's rooted.

Sorta running out of ideas here apart from forcing her to move to CM, but she doesn't want to lose the S-Pen stuff.
[Android General] maxum3300:
Do I absolutely need ARU?

I'm reading thru all these post from start to finish and there is a wealth of info on here but between here and youtube im not so sure I need ARU. My goal is to purchase the AVH-X8500BHS and connect my Galaxy S3. I know in order to have full control of my phone on the HU that I do need the app, but if I had the standard AppRadio app would I be able to stream netflix, directv, or directv geniego apps on the unit? Now I fully understand that ARU would be needed if I wanted to control these apps from the HU but would they work provided I controlled them from the phone? I know the are unsupported apps thru pioneer but just wondering if I could still launch them as long as I did so from the phone. I also understand that I would need a video bypass as well.
[Android General] AllenConder:
Actually you probably wouldn't use the AppRadio app at all. But just connect the phone to the radio using MHL and the radio should treat your phone as just any other HDMI device. Using your phones screen for controls

I honestly can't remember if the normal App Radio app allows you to exit its limited mode to even display another app. If it does then you can use the touch screen with the few supported apps and mirror the ones you want

I've been where you are because AR Liberator was horrible. But I found not having touch wasn't enough and glad I found ARU. Hope I helped :)
