Happy to report that after lots of fiddling and swapping cables and connectors I got everything working perfectly. No video issues after switching out the crappy Pioneer HDMI cable. My 3rd attempt at a decent slim port adapter finally got it right. The 1st 2 were causing interference that resulted in data signal loss. Tasker profile is set up, all I have to do is plug in and hit OK on the receiver and I connect every time (still takes about 2 minutes) but other than that, I'm THRILLED.

I'm running a LG G2 on CM 11 by the way.

Area 51 thank you! Can't wait for the alpha of the next app.

Exactly same problem with mine.....

try to install this ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.medieval.blueftp )....Clear data (ARU) in app manager.......refresh BT connection (both on phone & radio )

and see what happen next.....on mine its give me big smile......:D
[Android General] bodieism:
I think it has more to do with the finicky hardware button on the radio than with ARU. At least in my case.
[Android General] DJHile:
What purpose does the Bluetooth File Transfer app serve in relation to AppRadio or ARU? Just curious.
[Android General] papa3r:
Eagle_bird problem is related to the radio model , i think cause i have it to and get the same problem....

by chance I install Bluetooth File Transfer app that i need to use it....and than i saw my back and menu button working well....

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46213978&postcount=488

...I think somehow Bluetooth File Transfer app repair defective BT connections on my phone / radio:laugh:
[Android General] Area51©:
Not really. At the point where I tap the events, they are already key events. So I get a key down event and a little bit later a key up event. I just inject those on system level. What in this case might matter is the speed of the bluetooth connection. Because when this is slow, the time between the key down and key up event will be longer, this might be detected as a long press then. This might also explain why the mysterious fix of papa3r worked. Suppose that somehow improved the bt speed then there would be no more incorrectly detected long key presses.

There might be a fix by always sending a key up event right after the key down event is received and then ignore the incoming key up events. This means however that long key presses are not possible anymore.
[Android General] stayupthetree:
Curious what roms people are using on SGS3...and if screen standby is working for you.
[Android General] eagle_bird:
Thanks for the suggestion. I installed the app and did a quick test - unfortunately I see no difference. Not sure if there is a setting I am supposed to mess around with. WIll play with it more later today.

---------- Post added at 04:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 PM ----------

I personally would prefer seeing "forced" singles presses rather than "mostly" long-presses :) If this is working for most other folks then obviously it isn't worth messing with. At some point when you get to adding your own UI options, this might something worth adding. Thanks.
[Android General] bodieism:
I've tested this out 10+ times now with a solid connection each time. Apparently Hyperdrive RLS9.1 for VZW is really picky about wanting the phone side of the Bluetooth to be connected before attempting to connect ARU. If you forget, toggling Bluetooth will fix the connection. This app is helpful if you forget because it will automatically reconnect to the AppRadio with no interaction on your part except toggling Bluetooth. Might be helpful for those who experience auto connect issues with the AppRadio as well. It can also function as a plugin for Tasker, which could come in really handy.

SPH-DA210 and HTC One Help/Bug report

Hey all I am not sure if I should be posting here or in the HTC One area but I am sure someone will move it for me if I am in the wrong place. I am very happy overall with the AppRadio Unchained app. I have the SPH-DA210, an HTC one rooted, no change in ROM, and the pioneer CD-AH200C kit from Pioneer connecting them. The connection problems have really gone away, although on occasion I will have to make the connection several times, restart the app to get the connection to be solid and consistent. The big problems happen with the phone after disconnecting. When I go to type in any app I am unable to and sometimes the phone just locks up completely. I figure this is a problem with sense, and has to do with the fact that with the HTC one the sense keyboard options show up in notifications every time the messaging app or any app that requires a keyboard is launched, but I have not been able to figure a way to work around these issues. Also about half the time the phone will become basically unresponsive after disconnecting and I will have to reboot it not just to type but to use the phone at all.

The Unchained app that I have was released about two weeks ago. I looked through the thread and did not see a new version. I know Area 51 and others are working hard, I just wondered if there is a newer version with some fixes or if that is something that is still down the road a bit. Overall everything works well, its just a bit of a project to connect initially and then to use the phone again upon disconnecting. Also, it seems that just the addition of the home hardware button is all that is needed in order to be able to put the phone in the glove box while connected because as it is now, some apps that have no soft back button as well as going back to the home screen are the only reasons you need the phone at all when connected.

Thanks in advance, sorry for going on a bit.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
are you using "screen standby" by any chance?
[Android General] FingerBlastJ:
Hey guys, my question isnt aru related, more related to the AR3.

I have Rocket music player installed on my phone and once the phone connects to bluetooth, the player automatically starts playing, which i think is awesome unless i want to use tunein radio.

So how do i stop this from happening?

Also, when the music is playing through rocket player and im on the bluetooth music screen on AR3, the next and back track buttons on the screen actually change my volume level.

How do i get those buttons to actually move a track forward or back through AR3 screen?
[Android General] Area51©:
You can go to the OP (first post) and download the results of the survey. Just scroll down to the attachment at the bottom.
[Android General] Area51©:
I agree with that. Currently I am fighting with the app to add an options dialog. After that it's not that difficult to add this.
[Android General] Area51©:
A new release was done last week. It includes working radio buttons. Just go back to the OP (first post) and read carefully.

Also another new release is coming soon.
[Android General] lostintheaudio:
awesome!

I am going to donate on pay-day for sheezy. Just picked up my AR3 and got it installed. No money left :[ lol

Have you made any progress on the steering wheel controls or external GPS?
[Android General] Area51©:
Those are the only things left. I will start with GPS tomorrow.

It was a big fight to get something simple as an additional option dialog. When you add something like that to an application that you are programming yourself it takes less than an hour to add it. Now it took me a full day of reverse egineering to get how it is exactly implemented and how to add it to an existing app of which you don't have the source code.

Steering wheel controls is pretty easy but I need to build a SWC-emulator first (basically just a few resistors and switches) so that I can see what codes are sent and then translate them to the proper android key events.
[Android General] durtoffmysboulda:
Dude you're a beast. Can't wait to get back to my truck (and the US for that matter) and try your app out. I've been dying to get this going on (with that other app) my AR3
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
man if u were a woman i'd ask u out ! (after my wife's consent of course :) ) but this is pretty awesome !!! cant wait for the next version with multi touch and then 2 more issues and u got the perfect app for us ! thank you for putting time and effort on this !!!
[Android General] -=Jeff=-:
Looking forward to the next version to try on my Android PC, I am hoping with you recent changes the touch will work. If I can use the mini pc then I can use it without having to connect my phone every time. if not I have to figure out a way to use my new phone,

Thanks for doing this

Couple of Questions

I have a couple of questions for Area51 or anyone else who can definitively answer them ... I am running with a rooted but completely stock Galaxy S4 and AR3 using ARU .11 ... Q1) How does the connectivity work ? It auto connects perfectly about half the time and the other half it fails to connect altogether .... When it does connect everything works perfect until I went to load an App (Jackpot Party Casino) ... Q2) I loaded Jackpot Party Casino app and it was non responsive to the touchscreen on my HU ... It was responsive on my phone ... When I backed out of the Casino app, everything went back to being perfectly responsive to the HU touchcreen ... Can someone let me know what is the issue ... BTW ... I did not try it with any other games ... But I will in the next hour or so. Thanks
[Android General] MonkeyTime:
What you're looking for is in the kernel, not the ROM. Find out what kernel is installed by default with Slimkat or which one you chose during install. Then check what selinux is set as with that.

Most if not all custom kernels have it all taken care of, but I haven't tried this one yet. I'm still on mdk and careful of what I install so I stay that way! Gone are original droid days where you could do almost anything and recover without hurting your future :/

Sent from my Echoing S4!
[Android General] Area51©:
Great. Alpha is already available see here: Alpha announcement

Better wait to install for the next release (later today) as first release crashes sometimes.

There's also a version of ARU available to do Bluetooth logging of the communication protocol for not supported HUs.

Currently supported: AR2, AR3, X8500BHS

Next release also supports: AVIC-4000NEX, AVIC-8000NEX
[Android General] 400ixl:
Haven't looked at L yet, but have seen some discussion that as part of Google's concessions to stop Samsung forking further with Android they may have introduced Knoz and SELinux to L.

Bad news for the Android community if they have.

[Android General] ripsphone:
I had 2 different Analogix adapters. The first one was garbage. The HDMI port was bad. The second one was better but the cord that connects to the phone left me with few options but to have the phone underneath the radio which I believe caused the poor reception. I bought this:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KIMCZ5I/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 which has a 6 foot cord to connect to the phone and it has worked great.
[Android General] desantim:
I tried 3 different ones accell an off brand and then the analogix which finally worked right. The others killed my GPS signal immediately upon plugging them in. I had the AR3 originally and now the 4000nex which both loved the Analogix. I have the older 1002 revision but heard 1003 works just as well.
[Android General] poopsmith777:
Ah okay, that's the conclusion I seemed to have found myself at :) I am just running the default kernel that came with Slimkat. The SELinux is set to enforcing, but after speaking with keland44 it sounds that his SELinux is also set to enforcing but works (same phone and bootloader version as mine).

So I'm not entirely sure what to make of the SELinux situation on the S3 with my pre-Knox bootloader. If it works, that is perfectly fine with me! ARU is the only reason I have needed to look into SEL, so I am still learning :good:

On another note, could anyone with a working 11-pin MHL configuration (a la S3, S4, S5, Note, etc) look over the components I am looking to purchase in the below link/post? My trigger finger is itchy, but I don't want to miss anything. Thank you all; I can't wait to get this mod rolling!

Analogix are good, downside is that the SP1003 (or 2) both have short leads between the adapter and the phone.

[Android General] taiguy:
Is there a FAQ other than the link on the first post that directs to the GPS Injector blurb?

The main hookup I need to the headunit is the HDMI cable right? I'm using an Analogix slimport with my LG G2 and it works fine except there's a slight battery drain with the USB power coming from the back of the headunit (App Radio 3). I'm wondering if I move the USB power source to a standard dedicated 2A charger, would that increase the charging rate?
[Android General] Area51©:
Nope.

Right. Charging is not that simple. It depends on what type of charging you get (USB or AC). If you get AC a 2A charger will help. If you get USB you also need to find a fast charging kernel (if available) that allows to charge at a higher rate when in USB mode.

What are the common plugins and/or recipes people are using with Tasker and ARU?

Ideally I'd like to set it up so once my phone connects to the AppRadio bluetooth it will lock the screen orientation to landscape and also switch the keyboard to the correct one (and then reverse those during exit).

Also I missed the donate post somewhere in the last 580 pages of this thread :laugh: I'll toss some dollars your way

[MENTION=266368]area51[/MENTION] which Android Stick Do you use?

Gesendet von meinem HTC One mit Tapatalk
[Android General] newtonfb:
Stupid question...

Can you still use FM/AM radio or Satellite radio while you are using the Unchained APP ? (say for google maps)
[Android General] desantim:
That will wholly depend on the headunit you using. Appradio 3, 2, 1 no. I have the 4000NEX and it has a really neat feature where it has "Audio Priority", you can switch your audio source while leaving Appradio portion in focus. It's really nice, I just figured this out the other day, I had Maps open and hit the volume button and saw "tabs", when I clicked on the SDCard Tab, it started playing music while leaving my GPS in focus.

Each of the tabs has independent audio control, so you can still have audio come from Appradio while hearing your music.

Hope that helps.

There is a setting in the volume menu where you can "mix" the sound from the phone, fm or bluetooth audio.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Double press the home button when in AppRadio Mode and you get a bar across the bottom. On the right will be a mix option where you can select the radio to be the audio source leaving the phone as the video source.

Is it possible to mirror the screen via chromecast instead of HDMI? Or is the HDMI conection required?

It would be great, because so i can conect my phone completly Wireless.

Gesendet von meinem HTC One mit Tapatalk
[Android General] Area51©:
It works with Miracast on my Nexus 4. Miracast can send the system screen output wirelessly, I think currently Chromecast can only send the screen of some apps. It was just announced that Chromecast can send the system screen as well link. Don't know how well it works.

Anyway, be prepared for less quality. You will have some delay and also audio quality will be less and disturbances may occur as in your car there's a lot of EMI/RFI already.
[Android General] outcastrc:
You can also use an ipod as well and mix it at the same time your phone is in app mode. I leave an ipod attached all the time for music chores, then just attach the phone when I want to use an app.

Yes, I do that with mine, iPod or Radio work with the appsmode.

You fellas beat me to it :D I installed the new Chromecast update this morning. It looks like I may be able to give ARU a shot with my Chromecast and current ROM/kernel (for functionality test) before purchasing the MHL adapter and assorted cables. I'm excited to see what happens!
[Android General] italynstylion:
Can you go into more detail? Chromecast is the device that plugs into the HDMI port on a TV or monitor right? How would that work in the car? Also, I'm under the impression that Chromecast is only the picture, not for touch commands...right?
[Android General] poopsmith777:
You've got it! Well, you would just have to plug it into the HDMI port that you are surely using already if you are using ARU ;) You are correct that it sends the picture. However, you will still be using your phone for touch inputs when casting with the newest update, so it is perfect for a functionality test ;)
[Android General] italynstylion:
Duh....I forgot the Appradio had HDMI in the back. I totally forgot!

Unrelated question, how does the GPS injector work and how should it be used? I'm having trouble with my setup. Typically I keep all location services OFF for my HTC One. When I launch Google Maps it asks me to turn it on. If I have GPS Injector, do I need to turn it on? I've been turning it on but what I notice is that after a minute or two it will sever the appradio connection with the phone and send it into some sort of Bluetooth connection cycle where it will never connect unless I turn the car off and on again.
[Android General] jdpdata:
You can only mirror if you're on the same WiFi network right? It'll get tricky once you start driving away from your house.

You'll need a Mobile Hotspot in your car for this to work. I've tried to Koush's mirror app. The lag is horrible.

Hopefully mirroring with Chromecast is much better. Let me know how it goes for you.
[Android General] fritzum:

A quick question for any of you who have an iPod hooked up at the same time as an Android phone, what functions of the iPod work? Can video be played?

Thanks

Phil
[Android General] poopsmith777:
Precisely. That's exactly what I'm planning to test. I'm curious to see how much EMI/RFI will affect the connection to the mobile hotspot. This is more of a proof of concept for me rather than an attempt to use a Chromecast long-term. Since Google released the SDK and opened up that avenue, there may be some room for optimization of mirroring functionality by developers. But at the end of the day, you're still using a wireless network for a connection between head-unit and phone in a noisy EMI/RFI environment. It will be interesting to see where it goes!

:good: I'll see if I have time to tear into it tonight

Hey everybody.....

I changed my Nexus 4 to a LG G3. With my Nexus everything works fine, but now with the LG G3 I have some Problems.

It connects very well, but when it is connectet it is only in the ARU App in landscape mode and want that i make the calibrating test. When I push the dot, an error came up and tell me "retry please". If I click ok, I can push the dot again but the same error occurs. If I click Cancel I came to my Android Homescreen, but not in Landscape mode. That works, but the coordinates are changed.

Other point is, that the menu is very very small. I Think its due to the resolution from the G3?

Does anyone had a good idea for me? Perhaps a fix?

Best regards, Karim.

Try out reloaded

Hey, area51, I just sent you a donation, and was hoping to get my hands on the reloaded version of arunchained.

[Android General] italynstylion:
Poopsmith, I tried my buddies Chromcast on my TV for the first time earlier today. The way you spoke of it I thought it would mirror the device screen but it seemed to really only work with Youtube and Chrome. Is that right? How were you planning to use it in this instance?
[Android General] poopsmith777:
That is how the device's software was originally designed (to allow casting from specific apps). However, the somewhat recent release of the SDK for Chromecast has spurred a good amount of development, and the newer app versions (1.7 and up) will allow mirroring of the device screen in its entirety rather than just certain apps.

Supported devices:

-Nexus 4

-Nexus 5

-Nexus 7 (2013)

-Nexus 10

-Samsung Galaxy S4

-Samsung Galaxy S4 (Google Play Edition)

-Samsung Galaxy S5

-Samsung Galaxy Note 3

-Samsung Galaxy Note 10

-HTC One M7

-HTC One M7 (Google Play Edition)

-LG G3

-LG G2

-LG G Pro 2

-Additional devices coming soon

Fingers crossed that the S3 will be one of the lucky 'additional devices' :D
