Thanks mate, that's very kind of you. Am in UK, have downloaded the apk but it won't run as it is region locked. Am completely stumped as to why this doesn't work anymore - that'll teach me to upgrade. Thanks for trying.
[Android General] bk73w:
Thats weird because the Bluetooth should pair regardless. Check the firmware of your app radio I know they sent out updates for support of different android versions. I didn't have to do this as I just bought a new ar3 but I'm assuming your ar2 is a little older look up the firmware version on your ar2 then search for an update that should most likely be your problem. If that fails Uninstall AR unchained and install pioneers app radio app and delete bt profiles on both devices, then pair if it works delete pioneers and install AR unchained

Good apps for AppRadio

What are some good apps to use with my Android Stick and AppRadio, besides the obvious ones like Google Maps and web browsers.

Thanks.
[Android General] Jobby4:
Thanks to you both guys, have tried installing Pandora and the advice regarding installing the original pioneer app, still can't successfully connect with bluetooth. It's odd as I can make and answer calls for more the head unit, I just can't actually connect the phone and the head unit. back to the drawing board......
[Android General] edisonalvarez:
Hey guys... I'm moving this app with my head unit. I'm able to run everything well when using a sense ROM on my HTC one. However when I try aosp RIM I have issues but only when trying to stream movie or Bluetooth and connected to mhl cable.

Obviously it's ROM related but not getting a lot if help from developers cause in sure this isn't a critical issue for the phone itself.

Any help is appreciated. Im rubbing sense but would prefer to run aosp cheers:beer::beer::beer::beer:

My problems continue in my troubleshooting. But I think I've narrowed it down to the AVH-4000NEX head unit. I had tried everything to get it to work. Stock rooted rom, different kernel, Jedi X20 Rom, different HDMI cable. So I thought to myself, let me see if I can mirror the phone on my TV. Turns out that I couldn't. So I tried my work phone which is a Verizon Galaxy S4 and I couldn't mirror that phone on my TV either. The S4 is my work phone and is unrooted stock 4.1.2. So today I take my Note 2 along with my phone charger, HDMI cable, and MHL adapter to Best Buy to see if perhaps my TV was out of date and couldn't be mirrored. Best Buy wasn't able to mirror my Note 2 either, but we found that the brand new MHL adapter I had bought was the problem. They replaced the MHL adapter with the same Samsung Model Adapter which is ET-H10FAUWESTA. The only difference between the new and old one was that the new one was in a different packaging and read 2014 Samsung where as the old one said 2013. Another notable difference was the old read GH69-17684A and the new one was GH69-17684A Rev 1.1.

I get home and try the new MHL adapter. The Note 2 outputs at 1080i and the S4 outputs at 720P on my Aquos TV, so I think problem solved, I'll hook up my 4000NEX with the new MHL adapter and be happy. It should be noted that even with the new MHL adapter the Note 2 still requires a power source or it will not work, the S4 works without power. I once again try to hook up the AVH-4000NEX and still nothing. No HDMI symbol no Apps setting. I think to myself maybe the USB port #2 power from the AVH-4000NEX isn't supplying enough power, so I try an extension cord with the Note 2 charger and still not connecting.

At this point I'm frustrated because I know the Note 2 will send an HDMI signal. I go back to Best Buy and I get an App Radio 3 (SPH-DA210), to continue my troubleshooting. I hook up the App Radio 3 with the same harness as the 4000NEX, set the input to others. The App Radio 3 fully mirrors my Note 2. Everything connected quick. Tested YouTube and a few other apps and it works perfectly.

So I know that everything works. Is it safe to assume that I have a bad head unit in the 4000NEX? I'm able to connect to AppRadio perfectly fine on it and use Pandora and listen to music through Blue Tooth. It just refuses to connect to HDMI even when set to Others and HDMI in settings.

I'm using an android stick and my device never connects after 50% it always fails. If I launch ARU and then turn off my bluetooth and then turn it back on I get connection. Have you tried that sequence?
[Android General] tibbytib:
Any idea if the new Oneplus One phone will work with Appradio? I checked Oneplus's website and the specs of the One. Cant seem to find an answer. Other websites say it does not have HDMI or MHL out but has OTG. May be a deal breaker for this phone and Appradio for me. Anyone know?

The guy over at android central has One and was answering questions regarding the device so I asked if he could test mhl and slimport and he said he had the cables and would test soon. That was two days ago.

[Android General] Jobby4:
Will have a go shortly mate - worth a try! Thanks
[Android General] Area51©:
It could still be that the first one was just broken.

It seems very likely that the 4000NEX has a bad HDMI input. Unless you forgot to set the settings back to Others and HDMI input because they would be lost after removing the permanent +12V which you did when connecting the AR3.

The Apps button depends on only one thing and that is that a valid HDMI signal is detected. This will work even if there's no Bluetooth connection. You can then just hit Ignore and it will still show the HDMI source. It works like this on the AR3. I think on the 4000NEX it's the same. So you could try with your work phone with the HDMI adapter, a laptop with HDMI out or a DVD player.
[Android General] tortiz1:
My work phone didn't work either, I'm going to give Pioneer a call and see if they can replace the 4000NEX. I verified that the input setting was other and HDMI. When the 4000NEX loses the +12V and is reconnected it will ask you for language preference as well as Iphone/other settings. This is done when the unit starts up after being disconnected. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for all the help.

Edit: I compared the HDMI inputs of the 4000NEX and AppRadio 3 and I noticed that on the 4000NEX that the insulator between the top and bottom pins were warped whereas the AppRadio 3 was completely straight. I also noticed that 2 of pins on the bottom right hand side were touching and 1 pin on the top right hand side was bent forward. I got a jeweler's screwdriver and was able to separate the 2 bottom pins and move the top pin down. I was finally able to connect to HDMI, but I think I'm still going to send the unit back to Pioneer based on the insulator being warped, do you think that's a good idea?

desperate for help and tearing my hair out

I am using a tronsmart Vega TV stick kitkat 4.4.2 to run my App radio, Arunchained stick version works flawlessly except the touch area has been shrunk to the top left quarter of the screen !!!

I have turned on the finger touch dot in developer settings, it seems the top left corner of the screen is accurate, but as i slide my finger right it becomes wildly inaccurate, finally with the dot ending up in the top right corner of the screen whilst my finger is nearly half way it also does the same on the Y co-ordinate.

any help much appreciated.

No touch after calibration.

I'm getting calibration okay, but that is the last touch that works. Actual appradio app functions properly..

App radio2 running firmware 8.17

Samsung S3 LTE (GT-I9305)

Android 4.3

Rooted with SuperSu

No Knox

SELinux status permissive.(made no difference but i read on here to try it)

Sorry if i've missed it already, but sooo many pages..

Anyone have any more recommended fixes to try?
[Android General] Area51©:
Can you make a logcat (see FAQ @ post #3)? First start the Catlog app and then force close ARU by going to Settings->Apps->AppRadio Unchained and stop the app. Then start ARU from the launcher and connect as usual.
[Android General] Area51©:
Not really. It should be one of those things you already mentioned. Have not heard of any new Samsung tricks yet.

I installed the GPS injector as a system app the manual way using ES file manager. Was working fine. After updating cm11 to M6 the GPS injector app vanished. Any idea what happened?

I previously converted call popout to a system app but used an app to do it. The app wouldn't convert GPS injector, so as I said, I did it manually.

Why is call popout still there, but GPS injector is gone? I don't mind reinstalling. I'm just curious why it happened and how I can prevent it in the future. Thanks in advance.

Edit: Forgot to mention I have the Sprint GS3.
[Android General] leobg:
System apps, unlike regular ones, do not survive ROM upgrades. Simply repeat the steps you did last time to reinstall GPS injector again.
[Android General] bk73w:
I discovered something that might help some people. I played with the AR app tried to make it a system app to always run, and no go. Uninstaller and reinstalled and it would not connect anymore tried everything, keep getting stuck at 50% or would just mirror my screen with the red finger of death(hehe) then I went into settings and clicked update Bluetooth software, took about 4 minutes but it worked and now it seems as if it connects much better than before the incident.

I am totally out of guesses

Hi there everyone, Ok here is my story. I have Pioneer AVIC-8000 NEX, Samsung Note 3 Rooted and stock ROM,Kernel. A fake and original Samsung MHL 2.0 adapter and 2.1 Amp USB Power supply and the AVIC USB Port. I tired Every version of unchained ( 0.13 - 0.16 Beta & 0.15 Stick) Uninstalled and installed every version. I get the calibration touches but that is it. The screen and audio comes thought fine but no touch. I guess I am a f***ing idiot because I can not figure this out. The Head Unit is only 4 days old, the Note 3 is 2 months old. I have done a factory reset and wiped the unit but with no luck. I am out of ideas. If any body has any Ideas on what I can try next, they will more than welcome. Thank you for you help. Greg D.
[Android General] adiliyo:
i'm in the same boat, seems to have to do with knox and some new security features in 4.4. custom kernels seem to be able to solve the issue, but if you're on ATT like i am, you're kind of SOL unless someone can suggest something. i've even flashed a rom that has knox removed but still no go for touch. :(
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Guys, do a search on this thread u will see more then 500 posts on out Note3 with stock ROM.

it will never work due to SELINUX cause we got locked bootloader and cant replace the kernel.

Thats what im saying, if ur on TMO flash a different Kernel (KT kernel suggested) so u either have SELINUX set to permissive or u can change it with that kernel..

Figured I'd write in here as I wasn't finding a lot of information pertaining to my setup, here's my experiences.

Appradio 3 - ARUnchained - LG G2 Verizon Rooted, with XDABBEB's 4.4.2 VS98024A (Stock based ROM), and then Carbon 4.4.2 rom.

SlimPort adapters

Ordered this Slimport Adapter- *NOT WORKING*

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EPMF504/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i04?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Upon plugging it in, it would cut my GPS to zero. Literally, GPS working fine, using "GPS Test" to watch the sats, plug it in, they go to zero, unplug it, they go back to normal, etc"

Went local and bought an Accell, here it is on Amazon: *WORKING*

http://www.amazon.com/Accell-J159B-...id=1399906775&sr=1-1&keywords=accell+slimport

Worked fine. Plugged it in, readings dropped a little, but still fully functional.

I've had no issues running either of the roms above, both are plug and play to the Appradio 3 with ARUnchained Beta 6.

So in recap, Verizon LG G2, Stock rooted rom and AOSP based roms 4.4.2 working great with a working Slimport adapter.

Note 3 on T-Mobile that does NOT work

Well That is awesome to hear but my Note 3 on T-Mobile does not. There post saying yea a custom Kernel fixes it and some that say it does not. I am sorry I new to installing customer ROMs and Kernels. I can not find one that ODIN recognizes so I can upload it by the PDA funication. I know I am missing something here. I know it is my skill set not being up to par. I am going to confirm the cables/ adapters/ phones (by trying a different one) are good tonight. Wish my luck.
[Android General] Area51©:
No need to try other cables and adapters. Getting no touch after calibration means that there's only one problem and that is software related. Another phone might work especially if it's not a Samsung phone.
[Android General] ice_coffee:
First off I wanted to thank you for taking the time out to look at this issue, im sure your a busy person and Android fragmentation must be a real pain in the @ss.

I did 3 things during my Logcat

1) ARU was a fresh install so I went through the initial setup and calibration process

2) After the calibration process, I jumped to the home screen and starting from the top left corner, ran my finger anti clockwise around the perimeter of the working touch area (the top left quarter of my touch screen), this made the white finger trace dot run around the actual perimeter of my screen.

3) I then ran my finger around the real perimeter of my screen.

You can ignore all the logcat before when the bluetooth was turned off and then on, as immediately after that event ARU connected and started the calibration process.

I should also mention that the hardware home button on the radio does not work except when I am in ARU, in which case it will take me to the Win CE (real radio) interface, unfortunately I did not use the hardware home button during this exercise

[Android General] orpheus1988:
Mine does the same sometimes, but seems to be due to vibrations, will change to a docking with integrated HDMI adapte, that should fix it hopefully.
[Android General] Area51©:
You didn't have to do all that. There's not that much logged in the release version. Don't want to create a lot of overhead.

I found what I was looking for. There's some code that will detect the screen resolution but it seems confused. It detects different screen resolutions at times.

From the logcat:

Detected screen size (e) - Width: 405 Height: 720

Detected screen size (e) - Width: 1280 Height: 720

The real one is probably 1280 by 720. On my HDMI stick running 4.4.2 it doesn't show that problem. Do you have any app / anything installed that may cause this behaviour?
[Android General] ice_coffee:
It was a fresh wipe of android and install of ARU, I then took a ti backup, launched ARU ok su and went through calibration, then uninstalled ARU, recovered backup started logging and started ARU went through setup and calibration again etc etc.

Not sure if this is normal but the app does start in portrait and then switches to 16:9 as soon as it connects.

The app radio strictly accepts 720p 60hz would it be possible to lock landscape at that resolution?

---------- Post added at 12:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ----------

Off the back of our last posts I used xposed installer to lock rotation which sort of worked, in that a portrait screen would show for a fraction of a second and then be reconfigured for landscape. After going through the calibration process the touch sensitive box in the top left quarter of the screen has now grown to cover 60/70 % of the screen. Invert xy is off and turning it on makes no difference what so ever, in fact the rotation locker in that menu also does not work, I wonder if something about my android build is breaking your menu.
[Android General] hghflyrjd1:
In my case , I don't think it is actually disconnecting.i think the phone is thinking HDMI is disconnecting for some reason.
[Android General] Area51©:
No, the menu works but not instantly. You would have to force close ARU and then restart it for the settings to become active. This is one of the limitations of modding an app. It was hard enough to figure out how to add the menu already. Invert xy doesn't work well. Even if you force close the app and start it again, the change will somehow kick in half way calibration, making it impossible to finish it. That's why there's the stick version. Invert xy works when you keep it at the default setting, which is on for the stick version and off for the normal version.

On a normal phone ARU would indeed start in portrait mode and then switch to landscape once connected. On my HDMI stick it will however start in landscape and stay that way. No idea why it's different on yours. Anyway it shouldn't really matter as long as you end up being in landscape. What I would recommend is to do a clean install of the stick version and do not touch any of the menu options. Not sure if you did this already.

The rotation locker works but starts working once there's a connection with the HU. What it does is that it forces any app to be in landscape as when an app shows up in portrait touch will not work correctly.

Question, when you do the calibration is that screen shown in landscape or portrait?
[Android General] DiGi91:
Got a VZW S3 here running 4.3, working fine except for screen standby locking up the device on the head unit do any of the AoSP ROMs support MHL on the s3? I know you have a sprint one but they are similar.

Thanks,
[Android General] ice_coffee:
This was done in a complete fresh wipe of android and fresh install of ARU with no modifications. The calibrate screen is always in landscape. Without Xposed installer it behaves like ARU normal even though I'm using 0.15 stick

Please note the home button also does not work outside of ARU. Also, is there a way of going through the calibration sequence again without uninstall reinstall? Pressing the menu button gives 3 options 1 of which is yours and the other 2 do not have advanced functions like calibrate.

I have been through this process several times now and even tried different Roms, but to no avail.

Your doing better than Ar Liberator though as that weirdly connects but does not activate the touch screen leaving you with the warning symbol in the top right if you touch the screen.
[Android General] Area51©:
The only way to do calibration again without installing is to go to Settings->Apps->AppRadio Unchained and hit Force stop and then Clear data.
[Android General] ice_coffee:
I'm pretty much out of ideas, is there anything else that can be done to make this work? I would really like to know why locking rotation grew the touch area and how to grow it that last 30%
[Android General] Area51©:
It's getting a bit weird. I checked your logcat again. The virtual device is always configured as 1920 x 1080. However it's detected as 1280 x 720. This explains why you can only reach part of your screen. What I don't get is why the virtual device is configured as 1920 x 1080 because the virtual device is configured to match the detected size. Is there anyway you can set the actual screen size? I know there's something in the settings called HDMI.

Vzw S3 Cm10 Avatar 4.2.1 Pioneer mhl kit working perfectly.

Also y'all try Bazooka launcher and lock home to portrait...yes portrait... when you plug your phone in it will scale, rotate and lock to landscape until un plugged.

I should make a video of my setup.
[Android General] ice_coffee:
Yep, this box lets you set any mainstream HDTV resolution you like all the way up to 4K (3840X2160), however it is currently locked at 720p 60hz as this is the only resolution supported by the app radio (anything else causes a blank screen)

Is there anything I can do to alter the virtual device to 720p .

BTW what your saying makes sense I believe earlier I was getting a 450 X 720 touch area rotated by 90deg on a 1080 touch area, this was giving me my quarter screen touch, now because of the rotation locker I have a 720p touch area.

It also tracks because I remember along time ago with ARliberator and a different TV stick I had to go into settings and override detection and force it to believe I had a 1080 screen for the touch to calibrate correctly, prior to that a chunk of the touch area was missing.

I was having issues connecting my nexus 5 with the Appradio 2. It failed with the pioneer App, ARU and ARL. Everything failed ad 75%.

So, I just installed pandora and now it works flawless..

Please note, I'm a Dutchman and bought the Appradio in the Netherlands. Pandora is not supported here and will not connect. It's not even in the Playstore...

Thanks for the great work Ruud.

Now all I have to figure out is how I keep my homescreen in landscape mode.
[Android General] Area51©:
Which version did you install?
[Android General] Area51©:
It's probably best to fix this by some way to manually override the detected screen size. However because this is a modded app, it is a PITA to add this so it would take me a day or so to have it implemented and tested. I am sure you don't want to pay me for that at my normal commercial rate. I think it would be way cheaper to just get another less advanced HDMI stick and use that.
[Android General] JonesB0909:
file

I downloaded version arunchained0.15.apk. What are refering to when you refer to a HDMI stick? Is this the HDMI cable kit you purchase separately when purchasing the appradio 3 or something completely different? Did I download the wrong file? Is there anything I can do differently to my phone?
[Android General] Area51©:
Yes you should use this one: arunchained0.16.apk and not arunchained0.15stick.apk. A HDMI stick is a small Android computer with only HDMI out and no screen meant to make a TV "smart". So it's something completely different. For ARU the main difference is that a HDMI stick is naturally in landscape while a phone is in portrait mode.
