I have that kit too and No it won't. What it will do is lessen how much juice you use, so if ur at 70% battery before a 1 hour drive, when u reach your destination u may have only lost 1-2% and be at 68% battery. Folks here have had success charging running 12 volt to Usb power using this or similar http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BM...1144d23&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70#ref=mp_s_a_1_7

You shouldn't have any issues with the genuine adapter. My issue with it was not a connection necessarily, but more than likely an issue with my power supply. I bought a 2nd Genuine MHL adapter so I could narrow down my issue and determine if it was my MHL adapter, HDMI cable, or power supply and was able to determine that the cause is more than likely my power supply.

Samsung is sold out of the adapter, but the only place else u can be sure to get an authentic one is tigerdirect.com...everywhere else is a crap shoot.

Same here, installed the GPS app, then using Root Browser I moved it as above. Titanium backup wouldn't move it properly in 4.4.2

Hi. I'm having trouble copying the asec file for the GPS injector to the /system/app-priv directory. I keep getting permission denied. I tried logging into the phone via SSH and copying the file from the command line, but I still get the same error. Would someone be able to tell me how to fix this? I'm thinking the filesystem may need to be mounted rwx, but I'm not sure. Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks Area51 for an awesome app!!

[Android General] TEK112:
Depending on the File Manager you use you may have to go into settings and allow root access or grant RW permissions. Download another file manager like ES File Explorer and try again.
[Android General] mmcneil:
Thanks for the response. I'm actually using ES File explorer :) Do I need to poke around in the settings to grant RW ?

Thanks again,

Mike
[Android General] TEK112:
Yes. Open ES and press menu, scroll down to Root Explorer and turn it on. If it is on, turn it off and back on and wait for a superuser prompt.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Use Root Browser rather than ES Explorer.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
i second that.

use root browser mount RO dump file good to go :)

installing problems - resolved

Hi, i found my problem. i didn't manually enable mock locations in the developer options of my HTC...::

Perhaps you can mention it where to find it on your FAQ...

In case other dummies like me need this, it can be found in the developer settings of the phone. I searched all time for these settings within the app...:silly:

Anyways it works now flawless and improved the accuracy !! Love it. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work.
[Android General] mmcneil:
Thanks everyone, I was able to get it done with ES. I wasn't accessing the menu correctly. I appreciate all of the responses, you guys are great!

lag with Screen standby

Anybody else having lag issues on HU with phone in screen standby? Once I exit screen standby the HU display is a smooth as the phone screen. But as soon as I turn on Screen Standby the HU lags, BADLY!
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Known issue with screen standby. It it's broken for a long time. The dev gave up and released the source code
[Android General] kingoanklebreakn:
Nope I didn't.
[Android General] Area51©:
Good.

It seems it's possible to make "mars.area51.arunchainedgps-1.asec" a system app by moving it to "/system/app" on a pre-KitKat version and to "/system/priv-app" in KitKat. You can then switch off mock locations in the developer settings and it should auto enable it when necessary.
[Android General] Area51©:
In the stock app what you get is a Pioneer made Google maps version that you could not use for navigation. I don't know if my mods broke it or it broke itself already but now it doesn't do anything. It was not much use anyway.

You can use Waze with AppRadio Unchained as it has built in AppRadio support. Navfree used to have that too but now it's not listed as a compatible app for Android anymore on the Pioneer website. If you want to use Google maps or another navigation program you will need the GPS Injector.
[Android General] Zergra:
At the settings you must disable "Persistent blank frame"

That would kills the lags :laugh:

Battery drain while using ARU

I finally have a stable connection to my X8500BHS using a genuine Samsung mhl 2.0 adaptor. ARU is now working flawlessly, except for the occasional failure to connect and battery drain. I took my first road trip yesterday, about an hour and when I got home I only had 13%battery life left. I have the pioneer CD-AH200C connectivity kit using the USB power supply to power the mhl 2.0. I noticed the battery drain and picked up a 2.1 amp usb cigarette lighter charger. No change, battery still drains. I have the screen manually dimmed all the way down. Does the mhl 2.0 adaptor limit the power going to the phone? If so maybe I could go back to using my all share cast and powering it from the usb power supply from the connectivity kit and power the phone from the usb cigarette lighter plug.
[Android General] basmand:
Hi

When I was using my Samsung S4 with the original MHL adapter I have no battery drain. But what I noted was when powering MHL from 2,1 amp usb charger, with my original cable from Samsung, charging was always in usb mode (500mA), but when I took my old cable from my Motorola phone, it suddenly charging in AC mode approx. 1000mA

Basmand
[Android General] Sym_Link:
What you need is a fast charge cable, which you can make yourself or buy one, or you need a kernel with fast charge enabled. KToonsez kernel is an example of one with fast charge
[Android General] maxum3300:
I didn't know there was a difference in the cables, just the output of the plug. I was using an old blackberry cablebecause it was longer. I checked the phone and it says usb charging. I took my oem Samsung cable and plugged it into the same usb cigarette lighter plug and it says AC charging. Also noted that it is now charging. I wasn't ruining any apps at the time but was listening to the radio while on the app radio mode home screen and noticed that it was charging. I need to take pay off the console apart to get to the pioneer usb power supply but I want to connect my oem Samsung cable to the pioneer power supply and see if it too will charge. I don't know the power output of the pioneer usb power supply but I'm sure it's not 2.1 amps like my usb cigarette lighter plug. Thanks for the tip about the cable. I couldn't be happier now with my stereo.
[Android General] mikek753:
the issue here is MHL adapter that is used by phone as data device and as result the phone limits intake to 0.5A only that isn't enough to charge the phone. this is why you see phone drains power while it's connected to MHL and is charged while to car charge adapter.

The car charge adapter isn't data device for the phone and the phone takes what it can.

I'd like to know what cable can full the phone to not treat MHL as data, but charger? if this ever possible to not cut data on MHL at the same time.

Yes, there is another option to go with kernel with fast charge ability, but so far I wasn't able to locate such kernel for my S3 (att) that keeps MHL as the same time :crying:
[Android General] basmand:
Hi

If I understand you correct my setup was S4 phone +MHL+2.1 car charter and an ordinay USB cable. That gave me 1.0A power to the phone.

I dont have a fast charge kernel on my phone but my phone does charge now while using the mhl cable. Im using the original samsung charging cable that came with my phone.
[Android General] mikek753:
would you mind to share your setup? please.

phone type / version

ROM

I see "ac charge" on my S3 while it's connected to MHL, but it drains more then it gets from MHL, so I can go for 2-3 hours till phone runs out of power :confused:

for short trips it works Ok

thanks.
[Android General] Sym_Link:
The MHL adapter only limits the charge to 1000ma. The rest of the limit is the fact that the phone recognizes a usb connection or a ac connection. The difference there is whether or not D+ and D- pins are shorted (the two middle pins on the large end of the USB cable) but some kernels trick the system into thinking they are shorted.

The charger that comes with your S3/S4 shorts the pins for you, as some cables/car chargers do as well. One way you can confirm this is to connect your mhl to a tv in your house and and connect the stock wall charger to the mhl. Check your charge rate. It should be at 1000 ma
[Android General] maxum3300:
How do I check the charge rate. I know I can check the battery status for ac or usb charging but dont know how to check the charge rate.
[Android General] Sym_Link:
I use app called "Galaxy Charging Current"

[Android General] adiliyo:
just set this up with my nexus 5 and appradio 3. works like a charm, the only thing (i don't know if this is how it's supposed to work) is i only get audio by mixing in the bluetooth audio. which is fine, just curious if that's how it's supposed to be supplying the audio (as opposed to sending it via hdmi)

i also never seem to get through the calibration page, when i click on the dot, it says to retry or cancel. it still works fine, and the calibration is pretty accurate, so it's not really an issue, just curious if that's normal too.

great work though! i finally have what i've been looking for in a head unit for so long!
[Android General] Area51©:
That sounds weird, it should be through HDMI.

That's not normal either. I assume that you know to do the calibration on your HU screen. It still works because the calibration is not really a calibration but more of a calibration check. A disadvantage of not completing the calibration is that it will always ask you to do the calibration again. I have not heard of Nexus 5 users having this problerm. Are you running a custom rom/kernel?

Thanks.
[Android General] adiliyo:
i'm using aospal, so it's not a stock rom, which could be the issue, but since it seems to work aside from those few quirks, it's no big deal.

i'll try to flash the stock rom and see if it acts differently the next time i made a nandroid of my current rom.

Still KitKat not working?

Ok, As previously reported I'm still unable to get ARunchained working since my upgrade to Android 4.4.2 kitkat. I carried out all instructions to root my phone, install busybox & SuperSU and I also installed root checker. Within SuperSU it shows ARunchained. So I did a test and removed the ARunchained and installed the stock Pioneer App radio, it worked without problem. So although my phone is indicating that all is ok ARunchained isn't working? Has anyone else with 4.4.2 had similar problems?

I finally got a chance to try ARU on a road trip. Turns out after an hour or two my phone (Nexus 5 + Cataclysm + Franco kernel) gets super hot, to the point where it shuts off. The first time it did it, it was stuck in a boot loop. I was finally able to get it to boot into fastboot mode. On the way back I gave it another go and it overheated again. Bummer.
[Android General] evillela2001:
I had a 8 hr trip recently with no issues the entire trip. I'm on stock rom though. That could be the issue but I'm not sure.
[Android General] Vissionary:
I'm assuming your phone heats up at least a little?
[Android General] evillela2001:
Yeah it heats up but not too much. Around 100 degrees Celsius. It never shut off or rebooted though.
[Android General] Yarzospatflute:
Did you mean 100 degrees F? I'm pretty sure that at 100 degrees C the phone would melt.

I'm using the Nexus 5 with the stock rom and kernel, too, and on my 45 minute commute the phone gets to 98ish F and stays there. This was with Google Music and Waze both running the whole time and the USB plugged in. Maybe try another kernel?
[Android General] evillela2001:
Yeah probably Fahrenheit
[Android General] Vissionary:
I'm definitely going to try another kernel.

Are you able to keep the battery in the positive with the stock kernel?
[Android General] evillela2001:
Yes it charges with stock kernel but I have a charge only cable from the power port to the slimport adapter. I've read on here people having issues not charging with normal usb cables
[Android General] Yarzospatflute:
I'm using a regular USB cable and it dropped from 98% to 96% after 45 minutes. The fast charge USB is only about $8 from Amazon so I may order one of those if battery drain gets worse.
[Android General] Vissionary:
I didn't know there were different cables. I may order one as well :good:

Installing ARU GPS as system app from /mnt/asec

Actually it doesn't. I tried with another paid app that I have and I think that the procedure

should be as following using ES File Explorer:

1. Make sure in ES File Explorer, Root Explorer is enabled and Mount R/W is on RW

2. Copy pkg.apk in /mnt/asec/mars.area51.arunchainedgps-1 to SDCard and rename it 'mars.area51.arunchainedgps-1.apk'

3. Move 'mars.area51.arunchainedgps-1.apk' to /system/app or /system/priv-app on 4.4.x

4. In /system/app or /system/priv-app select 'mars.area51.arunchainedgps-1.apk' and in menu select Install.

5. After install reboot

Can somebody confirm that this works as I can't test it myself with my own app?

Co-Pilot SatNav

Done a bit of searching on the thread but can't find an answer.

I have an AppRadio 3, Stock Rooted Nexus 5, and both the ARU / GPS Injector App installed and moved as required.

I can see my phone screen and touch commands work etc, however I can only get a GPS lock using my phone GPS and not the HU GPS.

The GPS Injector seems to be working OK, (ie it updates every second)

Is this a normal state of affairs for Co-Pilot, and I just have to use the phone GPS?

Thanks in advance

In return for all your donations I made a new release with hardware radio buttons working now.

I think especially Samsung users will like that.

Also an alternate method for setting the access rights for the uinput device is fixed now.

This means if you had problems with not getting touches from the radio that it may work now.

Arunchained 0.11 is available from the OP.

Good luck with testing.

Question on functionality, once you exit tot the AR itself, how do you get back to the phone screen? It seems I need to go through the pioneer screen you use then get to my home screen..

To get back to the radio home screen open the appradio app on the phone then hit the home button on the radio. The hard part is getting back into full mode. To do that open recent apps then open a app and hit back until on the phone home screen.

[Android General] TEK112:
Did you enable mock locations in Dev settings?
[Android General] Area51©:
Yes, Mock disabled means that the Injector can't enable mock locations because it doesn't have proper rights. This in turn is because it isn't considered a system app.

[Android General] Area51©:
It's no so much a bug but more of a limitation that exists because the steering wheel commands are injected as android keys on system level. This means that it can work with any app wasn't adapted for Pioneer AppRadio but unfortunately means that apps that were adapted for Pioneer AppRadio have slightly less functionality.

You won't have to if you make it a system app as described ^.

Ok guys, still no joy with ARunchained using kitkat. I carried out a complete wipe of my phone and installed kitkat again as I am unable to revert to previous firmware due to samsung putting in knox stopping everyone from doing that. Anyway, I carried out the usual, installing all the necessary apps to enable me to utilise ARunchained. I connected my MHL connector and saw the android appear on the screen and continued to calibrate the screen. Once this was completed the main ARunchained screen appeared but it was squashed and not only that but it didn't allow any touches. So, whilst sitting in the car I uninstalled ARunchained and immediately I got the pointy finger saying no touch allowed, which is what I would have expected when just mirroring my device via HDMI input. So it seems that something is a miss with kitkat and ARunchained as the night before I installed the stock AR from pioneer and it worked as it should without problem. What gives guys, if someone else is having this problem then please say and if anyone has any help then also please say as this is getting to be a bit of a pain
