Yes that's right. You should have a HU that supports sending of GPS data though. I think it's only AR2 and AR3. A lot of other HUs don't have a GPS receiver so nothing to send. There are then also top of the line models with built in navigation but those don't support sending of GPS data in AppMode either. Pioneer blocked this, presumably because they want to sell you map updates. In case of a phone you can then still use the phone's GPS. In case of a stick you could use an external GPS Bluetooth receiver.
[Android General] stargate125645:
The question is do I have to set it up on a TV first or do I do it all on the AppRadio? It's kind of hard to get DPI settings to work, I would think, without it displaying properly on the AppRadio to begin with. Trial and error. That's not something I want to deal with when I don't have a working phone to fall back to, unless someone can offer up settings to boot. Perhaps we should start a settings depository. Stick recommendations with high WiFi speeds and reliability would also be desirable.

I did not think of that option, so thank you. I do not want to have Frankenstein's monster in the form of several USB sticks and a portable HDD in my dash, though; I'd use DLNA instead. I will continue to use my phone until someone is smart enough to make an Android HDMI stick compatible with 64GB and exFAT. It seems rather stupid that no one has done so yet, actually.

If that were an option for a 600-page thread, I'd do so. The search terms are so generic you end up with a lot of posts to search anyway (I tried). I did a search online instead, and the best option I came up with is TabletTalk, but no sense in spending money on it if someone can't confirm it works, including with Google Now...

Any idea why version 15 of ARU works for high resolution phones like the G3 but 16 does not? What changed in those versions? What you have listed in the changelog doesn't seem like it would affect resolution scaling. I'll be able to try it out with ARUr some time this week, hopefully.
[Android General] ikerg:
You should set it up directly on appradio in order you can confirm that touch capability is working.

DisplayMetrics or TabletMetrics oa DPI changer could help you to adapt entire or specific apps to the appradio resolution in order not to see them too small

[Android General] Area51©:
There's no changes to the screen resolution detection so I have no clue why 0.16 wouldn't work.
[Android General] leobg:
Maybe the underlaying Pioneer AppRadio app changed and in 16 you used the newer release? I'm pretty sure Pioneer updated their app sometime ago (Feb 12, 2014 to be exact)
[Android General] Area51©:
Uhm, no. ARU is still using the previous version. I decompiled the new version but didn't find any relevant changes (meaning changes that would improve connection). Pioneer only reported they added some languages. So after that I decided not to update ARU to the new version as I would have to apply quite a number of hacks again. Even there were not many changes, the file names all changed due to obfuscation.

Just to verify, Appradio 3 does contain the GPS equipment required for a stick and GPS injector? Thanks
[Android General] s2kpdx:
Finally got my touch working (by selling my AT&T note 3, and buying a T-Mobile note 3). But now, when I hit the home button (either on the radio, or the phone), the phone freezes up and reboots. Any ideas what would cause that??
[Android General] Dan-SRi:
I'm having a right ball ache trying to get this fully working...

Appradio connects and it shows on the screen, mirrors the screen fine but the head unit doesn't work regarding the touch screen... I'm running a custom ROM and SElinux is permissive on a custom kernel...

Anyone have any ideas? :)
[Android General] stargate125645:
Something in the order of the logic must have changed then, altering resolution detection out something similarly involved with scaling. Strange. You did change conditions for activation of things so logic changed at some point.
[Android General] Nillaz:
OK I just bought an 8000NEX and I'm having a hell of a time figuring out how to get this to work. I have tried searching this thread for possible issues but going through 600+ pages has been exhausting and searching for individual terms is having only limited success. I think I've set up everything correctly, but no matter what the HU doesn't start the connection process when I connect the phone. Devices are:

Samsung Note 2 - full stock ROM 4.4.2 rooted. Philz Recovery is installed. SuperSU is installed and working. Root checker shows it as having full root. Root has been demonstrated successfully with a tethering app. ARU rights have been granted in SuperSU.

HU is set to Others for device type (per Pioneer instructions) and HDMI connection.

Samsung MHL adapter (one of the newer rectangular white ones) It is definitely genuine.

Standard 6ft high speed HDMI cable. I have tried two different ones just to be safe.

Samsung Note 2 Micro USB. This is the one that came with the phone. I have tried a second one just to be safe. This is connected to USB 2 on the HU.

Phone has been paired with the HU. Both media and call audio are checked.

The ARU notification shows that bluetooth successfully negotiates the connection. The ARU menu screen shows that the app is awaiting an HDMI connection. When I plug in the MHL adapter the phone shows as charging and a notification pops up on the phone screen saying HDMI connected. However the HU display never changes and mirroring never commences as I have seen in the various youtube videos demonstrating the app. Unplugging and replugging the phone has had no success. Rebooting the phone has had no success.

Can anyone give me some insight into what can be the problem here? I'm practically tearing my hair out in frustration. Is this just something silly that I'm completely overlooking?

Thanks in advance! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Android General] Area51©:
Yes.
[Android General] Area51©:
Yes, first scratch your ball. Did you set the connection type to Others? (Doesn't apply to Appradio 2). Is the HU giving you the finger or not? If yes, then BT connection is not working / setup properly. If no, do you get the calibration screen?
[Android General] Dan-SRi:
Haha! Thanks ;)

I have the Appradio 2. There is no finger showing on the screen... Yes the calibration screen works and i press the white circles... it then goes on to the mirror image but won't respond to touch
[Android General] Area51©:
I sounds like you did everything right. Did you can check that your HDMI adapter is working by connecting it to a tv? You also check the HDMI input of the HU by connecting another HDMI source like a laptop, it is possible to show that by ignoring the BT connection.
[Android General] basmand:
MY guess are that you are on appradio 3????

[Android General] Nillaz:
I hooked my laptop up in my car and it connected to the radio over HDMI instantly. Took my MHL adapter and hooked it up to my tv and no dice.

Here's the thing though. When I hook it up to my tv my tv detects a device as being there and activates the HDMI port, it just doesn't display an image. Could this possibly mean that the issue isn't with the adapter itself, but instead something with my Note 2 not transmitting data over the connection? I've never used an MHL adapter before. When I hook it to my tv should it just instantly start mirroring what is displayed on the phone's screen, or are there settings that I need to enable?

I'm so confused.
[Android General] cheesebox:
I use the analogix sp1003 slimport with the LG G2 and it supports fast charge (assuming that you enable the ac hack in Dorimanx kernel). So I guess it may well be your power supply, or possibly your usb cable.
[Android General] Area51©:
It should just work when you connect it. Some older ones however require power to be connected to HDMI adapter. Also with Samsung there's older ones with 5 pin connector and newer ones that have a 11 pin connector. If you have a custom ROM HDMI output doesn't work mostly.

Finally it can be defective.
[Android General] petard:
I should have mentioned that. Yes, AppRadio 3 SPH-DA110

This is from first page: For my S4 fix 2 help...

On my Samsung phone touch stops working after calibration

A) Verify your phone is rooted properly.

B) On Android version 4.3 and higher Samsung has Knox security and SELinux is in enforcing mode.

This somehow prohibits accessing the /dev/uinput device which is required to be able to input touch/key events on system level.

In order for ARU to work Knox has to be disbled and SELinux has to be in permissive mode.

Possible fix 1:

First install an app called Android Terminal Emulator then open a terminal and type

the following lines pressing enter after each line:

su

pm disable com.sec.knox.seandroid

Now wait a bit till knox is killed and finally type:

setenforce 0

If this works, you have to do it every time you reboot your phone. It can be automated with Tasker for instance

Possible Fix 2:

Install the Xposed framework and the Wanam module.

At Security hacks tick " Disable Knox notifications" and "Disable SEandroid".

Reboot.

Possible Fix 3:

If the other fixes don't work and your bootloader isn't locked you can try to install a custom kernel that has Knox disabled and SELinux in permissive mode by default.
[Android General] monkeyracer:
Ok, I'll try to explain what I have done using the following.

Tried this. Terminal tells me it kills the knox.seandroid app, but no notification on setenforce change.

Touch controls do not work. Tried on Stock rooted, MOAR, and MetalROM.

Tried this, doesn't seem to do anything. Wanam shows both items checked after reboot.

Problem is there really isn't much in the way of kernels for the S5. Really the kernels that are out there only address CPU voltage and governing and similar performance changes with not much about disabling SELinux, and the one I found that does is based on an old update version.

I was able to get it sort of working with RDDT ROM (which has the govnaa kernel) and I can get touch and mirroring, but the ROM doesn't play well otherwise. The dev has been sick for a while (hope he gets better) and hasn't had the time to work on updating it.

So, really the question I have, is there a way we can get a list of what devices have been tested and what config was used to get it working right? I think this may help those with Samsung and LG (and other) phones that are having a tough time getting it to work. I would like to know who has the S5 that has this working, and what they did to get it there, obviously with other recent posts, I am not alone in this. Maybe this can be put in the first few posts with links to the posts here that have the info. May help reduce some of the clutter about "how do I get this to work?"
[Android General] TB13:
Okay, so I got my Appradio 3 installed today with a micro bypass and a MAXAH MHL adapter and ran into some issues.

My S4 is running Hyperdrive RLS17.1 4.4.2. I can connect bluetooth and use the integrated bluetooth audio player flawlessly. When I plug in the MHL adapter the phone recognizes it and the apps icon on the HU gets a little bluetooth logo with arrows.

This is my connections screen:

If I tap the Apps icon I get this message:

If I hit ignore it will mirror my phone screen to the HU, but I cannot use the touch screen. On my device, in the status bar, the appradio app sits saying ready to connect as well. In permissive mode with knox disabled via the terminal. Any ideas on how to make it work?

VS980 Lg G2 and a bad slimport

I want to say thank you to everyone who has helped me try to get my VS980 Lg G2 to work on the Appradio 3. Thank you for your patience with someone that did not know what rooting phone means only a month ago.

I finally got the phone to work using ARU-R .06. I switched the slimport to an Accell and everything worked just like it is suppose to.... Quick connection. GPS... the bypass which I thought was bad....everything.

I should say I tested the other slimport and it looked like it worked on a TV with the phone; but for some reason, I don't know why it did not with the App3. I tested it again and it works on the TV but not with the App3. So if you are having problems and even if you think the slimport is good you might want to try another one.

Again thank you for everything.

Accell

Is there a way to turn off screen of the phone when we use appradio?

I tried screen standby but my phone didn't like this app and reboot after active standby mode..
[Android General] Area51©:
In the Bluetooth connection options of the HU did you set the connection to Others instead of the default Iphone?
[Android General] Area51©:
Some people use an app called Second Screen, search the thread for more details as it won't work with every phone.
[Android General] TB13:
That setting is set to the default iPhone setting, but I am unable to change it. I disconnected my phone and restarted the head unit, but it it still greyed out. I will try unplugging my HDMI and see if that allows me to change the setting.

EDIT: Figured it out! Had to hit the icon with the speaker that says off twice then it allowed me to change the setting. Plugged my phone it and it worked flawlessly. Next time I get paid you might see a little donation for being so damn awesome!
[Android General] defenderctr:
This question is literally asked every few pages of this thread....but here we go again:

Screen Standby or SecondScreen (all one word or you'll find garbage you don't want)

If neither of those work you're out of luck, plain and simple. They are the only known apps that truly shut off the screen. If there is another app out there no one on this threads knows about it (or at least is not telling us).

All other screen dimmers, Lux and Dimmer included, just add an overlay. The issue with an overlay is that it's not shutting off the phones backlight, instead it's adding a black layer over the video. So with overlays if you can't see the screen on your phone that's exactly what you'll see transmitted to your HU, nothing. Translation: A whole lotta useless.

I don't know the tech but from what I hear a lot of phones don't allow for the backlight being shut off to prevent people from not being able to use their phone if they accidently shut it off. Of course tech savvy people would easily find a fix so that's not much of an excuse, but, as we all know, this is a minority of the population.

It seems like such a simple concept but it's quite the nightmare for a lot of people, like me, a S4 user.
[Android General] Nillaz:
It's definitely one of the newer one's with the 11 pin connector.

Having said that, I'm working under the assumption that it's defective and will try to pick up a new one for testing tomorrow. I snagged my wife's S3 for a bit earlier this evening and it exhibits the same behaviour when trying to get it to connect to the tv.

It's not the end of the world, but it's irritating that the biggest feature I've been looking forward to in a $3000 audio install has been completely derailed by a $30 piece of gear. :mad: I'm very much looking forward to getting this running!
[Android General] tech by trade:
If you are having problems with screen standby try switching the settings. Go under Screen Off method and switch it to zero brightness. Make sure everything else is unchecked. Then scroll down to HDMI detection and click AUTO HDMI/MHL detection and Return to home screen. Leave everything else unchecked. It should work for you then.

I also used it to auto run the original APP Radio Unchained app when connected before Reloaded came out but I don't anymore. Good luck.
[Android General] ecsnead69:
Android stick users.... What devices are you using? There are several models,types, versions out there, lol.. I am looking for the best fit for this application. Please PM me with suggestions, don't want to hijack the thread. Thanks for any help/info
[Android General] stargate125645:
All MHL devices require power if the connected devices don't supply it. I'll bet the TV doesn't supply it, so it'd have to be the phone, and I know many phones don't.
[Android General] Aircraft800:
I have the Dorimanx kernel, but I searched the thread, how do you enable the ac hack? I have another USB cable and USB Power supply on order.
[Android General] Nillaz:
I'm using a Note 2 that requires a USB power cord regardless. The USB has been hooked up to the adapter using known good cables in both the car and while testing on the TV.

Samsung s5- avh-x5600bhs

HiGiuys, Im so don't know were to start.

I want to get my Samsung s5 (I did root it) connected to my avh-x5600bhs for mirror. What do I need?
[Android General] Area51©:
I am afraid you will need another head unit. An AVH-X5600BHS only supports AppMode for Iphone.
[Android General] vbrenn:
icainfo was

I was able to mirror my phone yesterday but not in full screen IF I need another unit hat one
[Android General] desantim:
From my understanding, you can mirror to ANY headunit that has HDMI input, no different than you could plug in a DVD player, or something else into the headunit and display the image, but for APPmode, which is touch functionality on the headunit itself, it required a headunit that supports that interface from android phones, which the 5600 only supports the iPhone for that.
[Android General] Area51©:
I don't know what exactly is missing but apparantly it's not possible to send touch info back via Bluetooth to the phone.
[Android General] poopsmith777:
Yep, the Note 2 and S3 are both MHL 1 devices with 11 pins *advertised* as capable of supplying power to MHL devices without the micro USB cable. As with you, mirroring didn't work on my headunit until I plugged in my micro USB charging cable :)

Nexus 5 slimport and AR2

I have tried 3 different slimport adapter and it's intermittent. Sometimes it does not work either. I've myDP slimport adapter which is supposed to be best. it work fine with HDTV but AR2 intermittent. Any help please?
[Android General] cheesebox:
You need to download an app called stweaks if you don't already have it. In that app, under the "tweaks" tab you can tick the option to fake ac charger hack.
[Android General] Nillaz:
I'm just about ready to give up. It's not the MHL 2.0 adapter. I just bought another one today and the results are exactly the same. When I plug it in the phone starts charging and I get a popup on the screen saying that an HDMI cable has been connected, but then no image appears on the TV. The TV detects that it's receiving a signal on the input, but the phone isn't actually outputting video.

So I had a coworker plug in his Note 3. Instant screen mirroring on the TV. I had another coworker plug in his GS4 and the same results. Back to the Note 2...and no dice.

I can't for the life of me figure out what could be stopping the phone from transmitting. It's on the Samsung Touch wiz 4.4.2 ROM. Other than rooting and installing Philz no other system changes have been made whatsoever. I really don't want to have to get a new phone as I still have several months left on my contract.
[Android General] tauzins:
so has development stopped on this? and when i tried this on android L this didnt work, but i heard some people got this working on L? just curious, i know its a beta and that its not stable but i wanted to make sure the dev. is still actively working on the app.
[Android General] texbuck:
Seeing as how Area51 (the developer) responded to a question just 6 posts prior to yours, you shouldn't have any concerns. Did you post your make and model phone prior to this, or am I missing this somewhere?
[Android General] AliMusa:
I'm thinking about getting the AppRadio 3 to use with ARU on my Nexus 5 but I can't seem to find EXACTLY everything I need to make this a one time install where everything will work. Obviously I need the head unit, but what other cables, accessories, etc. do I need? I read that I need the Pioneer CD-AH200 but do I also need the CD-MU200? Is there anything else that I need?
[Android General] Area51©:
You don't need any Pioneer kit. For a Nexus5 you need a Slimport adapter. A known good one is the Analogix SP1003. Also need a good quality HDMI cable with ferrite cores (search thread for monoprice), Micro USB cable and a 12V to 5V USB power adapter capable of delivering 2A. Best to use a hardwired one. You can get cheaper Slimport adapters but lots of them cause video snow issues because of improper shielding.
[Android General] Aircraft800:
I'm stupid.. When I installed the kernel, stweaks was included in the Flash, I didn't even notice it! I enabled AC hack, and on my drive today I maintained 100% charge! I used to loose at least 3% on my short drive in. Thanks so much for the tip! I'll test it out on a longer drive today.
[Android General] ecsnead69:
I was reading some Appradio 3 reviews on Amazon and one person wrote that they could only use one app at a time, like when using Maps you couldn't use Pandora, is this correct? I plan on using an android stick and was under the impression that it would operate basically like my phone, run several apps at once. Can a stick user confirm that it operates this way? Thanks
[Android General] stargate125645:
I have my LG G3, and tried to hook it up with the stock application (I'm not rooted at this point). Everything was scaled correctly, but the calibration constantly gave me a pop-up window after I would touch one of the dots that said "Confirmation" and gave me the option to cancel or retry. Any ideas, guys? For what it's worth, ARU also gave me this issue, though if I avoided the calibration screen and went straight to home it seemed to work fine (other than not having touch because I'm not rooted yet).

Also, despite what people said, the "OK, Google" hotphrase did NOT work from any screen unless my phone itself could hear me. The commands over the head unit microphone after that point seemed to work OK.

---------- Post added at 09:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 AM ----------

It does operate like a phone if you are rooted. You have to understand that most people leaving reviews that don't mention this fact are probably not rooted and therefore only have the stock interface.
[Android General] Area51©:
Basically the "Calibration" is not really a calibration. It is really a touch position check. So what it does is that it shows a white dot and when you hit it, it is verfied that it's within a certain expected area. If you are outside that area it will show you the cancel retry dialog as it assumes you did something wrong. The reason is probably that the "Calibration" was not designed to handle such a high resolution.

If you avoid Calibration some things will not work and it will always bug you for calibration when it has the chance to do so.
[Android General] AliMusa:
Thanks for the heads up. Probably saved me a lot of money. Where do these things install? I've never heard of them honestly and have no idea where they would go. Is there a video or anything that I could follow?
