Yes I was considering that. That is actually the idea for the presale, pay 20$ now and you will get the finished product when it's ready. Currently I don't have an assignment so it would be possible and that was the reason I started already. Anyway today a new opportunity popped up so I did an intake for a new assignment. They were in a hurry to get started so will have to see how that goes if I get that assignment.

I was thinking to create a new forum thread about AppRadio Unchained Reloaded kickstarter style but then read the forum rules. It may actually be against the forum rules to do something like this but then maybe not. Still pondering. While I am doing that here's the feature list that I came up with:

Core features

- Communication protocol for following devices:

AppRadio3

AppRadio2

AVIC-NEX4000, AVIC-NEX6000, AVIC-NEX7000, AVIC-NEX8000

AVH-X8500BHS

AVH-X8500BT, AVIC-X950BH, AVIC-Z150BH

- Support GPS(integrated GPS injector), Touch, HU keys, SWCs

- Wake lock

- Rotation locker

- Calibration

- Auto mock locations

- DPI dependent GUI

- Start at boot

- Notifications

- Widget for return to HU

Early features

- Diagnostics

- Manual override for detected resolution

Future features

- Configurable key codes for SWC keys

- Configurable apps to start up upon connection

- Connection workarounds like switching bluetooth off/on for better connection.

- Work without root (will likely have some limitations)
[Android General] Area51©:
That's a Pioneer or Waze bug. Since Waze has the Pioneer SDK built in and it detects the AppRadio app (or ARU) it assumes it will get the GPS data from the HU. However the HU is not not sending any GPS data, presumably because Pioneer wants to sell the maps for the built in navigation. So then you're stuck in limbo. I think Waze has to be hacked to ignore the AppRadio app but I have not done that. It seems support at Pioneer does not get the problem. I read from some guy he tried to explain but he said they were useless.

There's nothing obvious you are missing. You will get the Red X only when there's no proper BT connection. maybe it helps to toggle BT on your phone to off and then to on again.

I really don't trust Screen Standby. So I would never use it.
[Android General] valestrand:
Note 2 clean rom 5.0 with allshare cast.

New version works great, home and menu buttons work perfect. Back button is hit and miss. Does not work in tunein in xiialive it works to get back to main screen in the app but hitting it again does nothing. If I push back on the phone I get to my launcher home page. Thanks for your hard work. ARL did the same, maybe it's a note 2 issue
[Android General] papa3r:
similiar issue with me....:p

on PAPAGO gps app all button working flawlessly...no problem at all

> Area51©..

whether logcat can be used to track this problem?
[Android General] knightforge:
I have the same problem. I think it's the Samsung adapters. When the original USB cord it does the something. Any after market cable works perfectly and doesn't disconnect itself.
[Android General] rs2k:
Yes, only aru 0.10 and 0.11 won't install.
[Android General] scumfromohio:
Like aftermarket mhl cable?
[Android General] bodieism:
I was never able to get any ME7 based ROM to connect to the AR2 using my GS4, including the stock rooted ROM. The MDK based ROMS I tested all connected fine. The AppRadio 3 doesn't appear to have this problem though... I have been able to get Hyperdrive RLS9.1 and the stock rooted ROM to connect using my S4.

I was also able to get Allshare working with Hyperdrive and the AR3, but the connection always freezes up after the initial connection. I have to restart screen mirroring and then everything works perfect. This is really odd because it works fine on the first attempt when connected to my TV at home... I don't see why it should be different on the radio. I wish I could get Allshare to be as reliable as the MHL cable, then I'd be set.
[Android General] -=Jeff=-:
Area51@,

I know you said you will not be concentrating on this right now, I understand. ARU works good on my RAZR MAXX, but with my HDMI Stick it is weird..

I get it to connect and show the screen, the Pioneer X is gone and the little finger shows the touch, there is just no response. Weird thing is the calibration process works without issue, after that it does not recognize the touch.. I also did the changes you sent out about modding ARL, but that does not work either, only the top left corner of the screen works.

I changed to the Finless ROM 1.6 that works ont he stick, but it acts the same as before with it showing the touches but not actions from them

If I install the OEM Pioneer app, it works fine, when I install a pioneer approved app it works too.

I want to replace my Android phone and was hoping to have a HDMI Stick in the car and then opens my options for a phone.. I am not sure the WiDi will work well
[Android General] papa3r:
MY STORY

I will tel a story that when I use the ARU and I experienced a strange thing ......

I said earlier that my back hard button only works in some parts of the course and the bottom of my touch screen soft keyboard ( spacebar ) can not be used .

two days I feel frustrated and to lazy to play with ARU ..... AND THEN ...... This afternoon for some reason I need to use the Bluetooth File Transfer app from google play and I install it .....

a few hours later I was again curious to retrying ARU downloaded v0.11 that published since the beginning ..... do you know what the outcome ...... YIIEEEEPIKAYEEEIIII ....... all the problems and issues that exist on my ARU...... DISAPPEARED ... hopefully not happen again .

but if there is to explain the technique , it will be very helpful to me and everyone else who has an experience similar things ....

Area51© .... you're a great friend .... I submit to you the high appreciation ......

greetings and thanks so much for your continuous support......:good:
[Android General] Area51©:
I made it so that when you push the radio back button it will always inject the back button on system level. I don't know why it won't work in some applications.
[Android General] Area51©:
Logcat won't help now because I don't put information in there regarding this issue. I would have to add it first and then you can only see that they keys are injected and what happens after that... no clue.

Regarding PAPAGO, does that app already work with the original Pioneer AppRadio app?
[Android General] Area51©:
Calibration still uses original Pioneer events. Right after that it switches to injecting events on low level, requiring root access.

So maybe ARU can't get proper root access. Once I had this issue with another app. After I installed SuperSU and then gave it root rights, it started working. Maybe you can try that?

To see whether touches are registered you can enable two things in the developer options, something called like Show touches and Show cursor location.

For the modded ARL, did you enable invert x y?

Then it seems you don't have the slow bluetooth problem so that's good.

That's my goal too. Eventually I will get that working.
[Android General] Area51©:
I like your story but I can't explain what exactly happened. Really sounds like a miracle. Anyway we all need luck sometimes.
[Android General] Kishan_Diepa:
I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but i've found out an easier way to go back to the native radio interface.

When you do a quick double click on the home button. a small bar appears at the bottom. From this bar you can mute the sound, go to the previous or next song(these two buttons won't work for the phone. probably needs some programming too :P), turn the screen off and between the previous and next buttons there is a bar allowing you to switch between phone interface or native radio interface.
[Android General] zr2ee:
most definately a useful tool, unfortunately most people don't know about it unless they accidentally came across it or read about it.
[Android General] -=Jeff=-:
That makes sense, supersu was installed in the finless ROM, I will uninstall and reinstall that to try it

Yes I enabled the inverted x,y but the show touches when I press with ARL the touches stay in the top left, not even 1/4 screen, so something else is wrong, I changes what you lined out but it is the same with my nodded ARL and the original.

With show touches and ARU the touches look like they track, I will try with cursor location next

EDIT. What apk name should show up for your app in supersu?
[Android General] Area51©:
jp.pioneer.mbg.appradio.AppRadioService

If SuperSu was installed already then i guess that won't help.

But you can try to remove rights for ARU and then enable them again once asked.
[Android General] Area51©:
Some news about progress, I got multi-touch working on my uinput driver. This means that multi-touch will be available very soon.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
YAAAAAAAY!!!!!
[Android General] lpasq:
What steps do you guys take to establish connection? ARL connection was buggy and best results required activating ARL and Bluetooth with car off...plug phone to AppRadio...turn on car...pray. How are you connecting ARU and what routine process establishes most consistent connection?
[Android General] -=Jeff=-:
Okay show touches track as I touch the screen, cursor location never shows when I touch the seen except during calibration

Any suggestions next to try? Remember the OEM pioneer app works with out issue
[Android General] shaxs:
NM I read the rest of the thread.

---------- Post added at 11:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 AM ----------

With the GPS injector setup, I get Waze to work. I used it today for a 30 minute drive. However, sometimes when I open Waze it launches the AppRadio app asking me to do the dot connection thing. Super annoying.

Why do you know trust screen stand by? Seems to work well for me...
[Android General] Area51©:
What HU do you have?

I have encountered quite some people using it without knowing it's potential problems and then asking why do I get this lag when using ARU? Of course they don't tell you they use Screen Standby. I know now to ask whether they use Screen Standby first.
[Android General] shaxs:
I use the App Radio 3.

Can you explain to me the potential issues so I can also be aware :)
[Android General] Area51©:
It works for the AR3 as this is a HU with A) GPS receiver and B) No built in navigation with maps sold by Pioneer.

A terrible lag in touch response. You hit an onscreen button and it reacts seconds later. Stuff like that.
[Android General] shaxs:
Ahh thanks for the info. I have noticed the lag, but deal with it. About the same lag as the standard pioneer functions in their radio menus ect :) Do you suggest something else to shut off the screen?

So my phone overheated today on my first longer trip. I am using the external GPS and the injector, have wifi off, screen stand by turning off screen, and the usb port on the radio being the power for the slimport adapter. I do have my phone in a TPU case and the phone sits in the center console storage area under the arm rest.

I bought this http://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Mobile-Fan-External-Cooling/dp/B00080G0BK/ to run in the center console to help with cooling. Do you think this will work?
[Android General] stargate125645:
Sounds like a bargain to me if you keep up with the quality you've created thus far. Perhaps an e-mail list for beta testing is in order? I'd definitely sign up and commit pre-order money. I really like the wake-from-lock feature you want to implement; it will save me many a head ache in cold weather!

Just tell us what we need to do to keep you involved so we don't end up with another ARL fiasco. If you could also make available older versions (like you do now with ARU), that would be much appreciated.

Edit: Are you sure the SWC stuff will work? It seems to me that would be on the head unit firmware itself. That is, if the head unit firmware doesn't pass on the button presses, it won't matter what you do on your end. For the giant pile of crap and rip off that ARL turned into, it did have a feature to let you see the BT packets, so you could see when a button was being registered, and very few were. I take it the newer head units (AR3, etc.) add more such that you would actually have something for the user to configure, like hanging up a phone?
[Android General] Keland44:
could run the beta testing through the google + community and the play store a lot of developers have been doing it since google opened up the feature. Could upload a new apk for beta testing to the playstore then maybe make a paid key for it that we would buy seperately maybe make it 25 to cover your google play cost

definitely appreciate the work and the feed back for my issues think i'm almost there having issues with bluetooth staying connected to get audio two and from the device have touch input working now

when you first mentioned this project I donated 20.00 to help,will this count for me

thanks,bigcid10
[Android General] petard:
I bought the GPS injector and would definitely buy a standalone app. Please make it so it can get touch commands without having either Bluetooth music or phone connected. I'm able to sometimes get touch working without either connected (my phone is connected for both of those, HDMI stick just touch over BT and audio over HDMI)
[Android General] jdogg4000:
Nice I am using a HDMI stick and bought this the other day to keep things cool. I see no reason why it shouldn't work but I'll let u know when it arrives :)
[Android General] mannyhernz:
What hdmi stick are you using? That would be ideal for me as I wouldn't need that bulky mhl..Also how would you connect the blutooth?
[Android General] evillela2001:
Count me in. I haven't read this thread in a while but I was on the initial beta for ARU. Even donated before and willing to give again. (especially if you make it work without root) Let me know when you need us to sign up. Keep up the great work.
[Android General] shaxs:
This is the one I bought and I am currently setting up: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DQ6UPIW/

For bluetooth, you set this to media only in the options and connect the phone and set it to phone audio only.

I also will be running the stick off an external battery pack for power so there is no boot lag. And then the battery is plugged into the usb to provide power to the battery.
[Android General] Area51©:
Yes of course.
[Android General] Clandaries:
Someone tried with miracast or mirrorcast dongle? I have a galaxy s4 but alsy a Wiko Highway. The Wiko highway has just Mirrorcast, therefore i ask.

Thank you.
[Android General] petard:
Check if one of your cars accessory ports is always powered. The one in my armrest has constant power. I was experimenting with an HDMI stick there but I found a cracked galaxy S4 for cheap on craigslist and am trying to get that to be perfect now. It's a lot faster but I can't seem to get enough power with mhl connected, it discharges when in use
[Android General] shaxs:
On my LG G2, miracast + bluetooth connected at the same time is awful. The audio stutters so bad on everything. Even when attempting to connect both the phone warns me it is going to suck.

---------- Post added at 01:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:30 AM ----------

10 year old Infiniti. I dont think so but I will look. I might hardwire a connection somewhere.

Buying a cracked screen phone is a good idea. I have thought about that as well. I wish my phone would just work well. But it is over heating and draining quickly. By the time I get done with a 30 minute drive Im down a good 10% or so.

New AppRadio Unchained Reloaded thread

I made a separate thread for development of AppRadio Unchained Reloaded.

It's now open for donations that will give you a license for the finished product when done. For details see the thread.
[Android General] Area51©:
Wake lock is just that the screen won't turn off when the app is connected and/or running. It sounds like you mean something else but I am not quite sure what.

Loads of money always helps. Kidding aside, the more people that buy the app, the more time I can spend on it. Older versions would be possible but hopefully not necessary.

What I meant is that you can configure what Android key is sent when a SWC command is received. It's true the HU does not detect that many SWC keys. That also depends on the SWC adapter that you use. Some are able to send additional keys when you do a long button press.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Have you switched off the sensor and proximity settings?

---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 AM ----------

Sounds like wanting the phone to be automatically unlocked.
[Android General] ikerg:
Are you planning a power bank? It is the same I am.planning. having the stick connected to the battery (while it has some remaining energy) can you not suffer from.reboot on ignition. It can prevent reboots some hours (not much) if the car is not used (could last one full night?)

Can the sticks put in a suspension mode in order not to consumpt such energy? If possible, the problem couls be how to wake up back the stick without rebooting

I saw some chinise ones declaring 20000mah at good price but I don't know if they are reliable on specs...

This is exactly my question.

I just installed an Appradio 3 and i like to use it with a MK80IV Android stick, because I would like to have a dedicated media device for the appradio and don’t want to fiddle around with cables on my phone everytime I step into the car.

Ofcourse I would want to prevent the stick from having to boot up every time I start the car (booting will take 30-60 seconds I guess?). Therefore I was thinking of buying a powerbank as buffer for when the car is off.

Best thing would be also if the Android stick would automatically go into standby when the car is off.

I've read that the Android stick consumes about 10 Watt when fully active. How do I calculate how many mAh the powerbank at least should be, so that the android stick could stay in standby or on for a couple (3 or more) days?

How did other Appradio users with an Android stick solve this? So far I’ve read about 20% of this topic and googled my ass of, but I couldn’t find a good guide on the Appradio with Android stick topic.

Another question: do you guys stick the Android stick right in the back of the Appradio or do you use an HDMI male->female cable?

The big question is...is it going on or is it after some time a dead project like ARLiberator? The Modder is not seen since month...

ARLiberator Does cost the same as this then.

[Android General] desantim:
Area51 has been a very involved dev here with his project, ARU was a free utility, which to me would lend fact that if he charges for something he would continue supporting it until a reasonable amount of time has passed.

You can't expect a Dev to update a piece of software as long as WindowsXP has been lol.
[Android General] 400ixl:
At the end of the day its the risk you take, and you are really rewarding the dev for the effort put in to create the application. Unless you are willing to pay a maintenance fee as well, the developer could stop supporting it at any time.

Happily done the donation.
[Android General] bigcid10:

[Android General] ikerg:
Power in Cc is calculated as voltage×current intensity

This

For a android TV stick that it is running under 5V and 2A…is is consuming 10W (5×2)

If stick is running for a entire hour, it is consuming 1Wh or, which is equivalent, 1000mah

I case of a power bank of 20000mah, theoretically it could last 20h supplying energy to the stick

But this is theory

If we could find a way in which the android TV was hibernated (consuming much less power) and by the AR3 send a signal that could wake it up....

GS4 - AVH-X8500BT touch input issues

I've been having a few issues with getting the touch to work on my AVH-X8500BT after ARU has completed the touch calibration. It's connected to my Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 running stock 4.4.2 which I rooted using CF Auto Root (SuperSU) by Chainfire. I've tried the stuff in the FAQ to disable Knox and put SELinux in enforcing mode... but still it doesn't see the touch input from the pioneer after running the initial calibration. Does anyone have any ideas what to try next?

BTW It's a shame Area51 has to ditch XDA to progress the project! Will keep a lookout for your new home and definitely buy when it hits the play store.
