Arliberator (not to be mistaken with area51's appradio unchained (ARU)) has GPS implementation working this way. I hated it for this uneven GPS feed back then when ARL was the only choice. ARU has this done right - 1Hz clock on! Though that's not fast enough for some of us :) but this is hardware limitation of the pioneer head unit.

Delete ARL and forget it. That app is no longer supported and has a long list of bugs and compatibility issues. Get ARU app here (post #1) plus the ARU GPS injector from the market and you're set.
[Android General] Yarzospatflute:
I start the car, hit "OK" on the AR3, plug in my phone, and then connection is usually 8-10 seconds later. If I plug in the phone first and then hit "OK" on the AR3 I'll usually get the "Connection to phone failed, retry?" message. Once I hit OK on that screen then it's 10ish seconds until my phone screen pops up on the AR3. Once it's connected it stays until I turn the car off or unplug the phone. I just did a 4 hour road trip last week and didn't have any connection problems.

Your SlimPort looks fine, and you're right that it doesn't look like there's any stress on the connectors, but it sounds like that's where the problem is. You should either take it out and try it with your phone and a TV (make sure to plug in the USB charging cable just to replicate the conditions in the car) or try another one.

Or...I just remembered: it could be the HDMI cable. With the first SlimPort I used I got an email from the manufacturer saying that some cables wouldn't provide adequate shielding. I put in what I thought was a pretty beefy Monoprice HDMI cable that I had and it seemed OK for a while but then I started noticing problems like what you're describing. It worked perfectly when hooked up to a TV, but there's a lot more interference happening in the car. They said they'd send me a new one if I needed it, so I contacted them and had them send it to me. Everything worked well after that, until I broke the SlimPort.
[Android General] Area51©:
Ok, looked at it. It was as I suspected. The rights to /dev/uinput are set right (666). But still can't open it from ARU.

I have one idea that may work. What if you try to convert ARU to a system app? Maybe it will then have enough rights to access the /dev/uinput device. It's done the same way as converting the GPS injector to a system app, only of course you have do it for ARU.

Can somebody try that?
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
I will try
[Android General] Area51©:
I was a disappointed ARL user. With GPS I had the same problem. This was one of the reasons for making ARU. So you can be sure it works better than ARL, there's no delays with the GPS.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
OK, so putting aru as system was worse. It will not shoe notification nor connect at all. Reverted back to user app and was able to connect but not register touches, sent u a log while it was as a system app
[Android General] DarrenMi:
What about going into SuperSU and changing the "Force User" field for "jp.pioneer.mbg.appradio.AppRadioService" (which is what ARU shows up in SuperSU for me) to another user like "System" or "Bluetooth" or "Input" etc ?

I was thinking perhaps Samsung blocked root access to this input device, but there must be some service accounts allowed to access it to do their job ?
[Android General] Area51©:
Did you force close it before starting the logcat logging program? I don't see it trying to open the /dev/uinput device. Could you try again?

It doesn't have to connect to be able to see if /dev/uinput can be accessed.

Newbie

I just bought an appradio 2 because i wanted to use arliberator and had previously read on forums that arl will not work with the ar3. But now ive "browsed" a few pages of the 300 something on this forum/thread and it seems someone has figured the ar3 out? I would gladly return my ar2 and buy the ar3. I have a Motorola Razr maxx, can anyone explain the steps i can take and what i need to get full mirroring on the ar3 with control through the touch screen? Ive seen some people are saying theyre trying to get the gps to work, are they just talking about being able to use the ar3 antenna with the phone? Or does the gps feature not work at all with arl? Basically i just want the full mirroring control so i can can use all of my apps including Maps to navigate. Are the "fixes" here just in testing phase? Has anyone used the ar3 with the razr maxx and had good results? Anyone know when the official app sold on google will support the ar3? Im not a tech savy person am I better off sticking with the ar2, is it hard to set up the ar3? Sorry for the basic questions and any help would be appreciated, thanks!
[Android General] DarrenMi:
Has anyone mounted their phone into their car using a "desktop" HDMI dock rather than an MHL cable ?

Like this: http://amzn.com/B00HYIHSHY

I have tested my Note3 via MHL-HDMI adaptor, and via Netgear PTV3000 wireless adaptor, and both seem to work well (except still working on the touch issue), but the battery drains pretty fast when using wireless screen mirroring..

So I was thinking an easy "slip in, slip out, docking cradle" that both charges the phone and outputs HDMI might be a tidier solution than having an MHL adaptor (which itself requires 2 cables - HDMI plus USB for power) floating loose in the cockpit.

The HDMI dock should be able to be powered via a standard 2 Amp lighter-USB adaptor which is how I currently charge my Note3 when it needs a boost as it requires at least 1.5A to charge quickly. Assuming it can charge fast with a dock or MHL adaptor connected.
[Android General] Globetrotter1006:
I tried it, no purpose.

Yes, so I think any restriction from Samsung(

That would know what it is, and how to bypass it (
[Android General] Area51©:
What is shown in the logcat when ARU tries to access the /dev/uinput device?
[Android General] Globetrotter1006:
I attached the log, it is ARU system application.

nothing has changed (

Whether the information in the log that it does not allow the program to run?
[Android General] 123spieler:
I thank you so much!!! it seems that it works great !!!!!

but there is still one little problem . I cannot disable GPS. How can i do this, outside the car? If i push on the GPS logo, it is still highlighted.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Yes i have FC it , even restart. No go...

but i put it in priv/app i will try to put it there and under system apps as well and re-try

Just install AR3 HU on my car, my phone is rooted already and i want to install ARUnchained can you refer me to a post that show me how to install it and set it up, thanks
[Android General] Area51©:
ARU works with AR2 and AR3. People have reported it working on a Razr maxx.
[Android General] Area51©:
What is shown at Status when you open the Injector app? Anything other than Connected means it's not working.
[Android General] Area51©:
Assuming you know how to use the normal Pioneer App, do as following:

- If already installed uninstall Pioneer AppRadio app.

- Download APK from first post.

- Install APK.

- Connect phone to radio and proceed as normal.

Uhm...., it's not really clear what you are trying to do. Can you explain?
[Android General] TLS2000:
I did this on my Galaxy S4 running 4.4.2 and it says failed at step 1.

I've searched the file system with Root Explorer. There is no /dev/uinput/ folder on the device. Maybe Samsung has changed the folder?
[Android General] Area51©:
Not likely. To check install Android Terminal Emulator and give it root access.

Open a terminal and type: ls -l /dev/uinput

Wireless Display Adapter for ARU
[Android General] TLS2000:
Hmmm, that shows the folder, but I can't access it even when I have superuser. If I try to enter the directory, it tells me that it doesn't exist.
[Android General] Globetrotter1006:
It is not folder.

It is file uinput in folder dev.
[Android General] TLS2000:
I figured that out shortly after I sent that last message. Oops. Thank you though. :)

Ok, new info:

In ES File Explorer and Root Explorer I can set the permissions to 666. When AR Unchained accesses it, the permissions are changed back to 660 even though I get a toast message saying that the permissions were changed to 666.

Edit: I changed the kernel to Ktoonsez latest kernel for my device and I don't get any error messages anymore.

Great news for Galaxy Note 3 users with an Android 4.2.2 ROM!

I finally got my touch inputs fixed. :good:

Current configuration:

N9005 with X-Note (still on V11) ROM.

Converted ARUnchained 0.16 into a system app with TitaniumBackup

Flashed X-Note Kernel instead of Stock Kernel.

Now my last problem are screen "blackouts" due to some software overlays. It's not the connection since the homescreen or notification bar is always visible. If another app like torque is running fullscreen however my screen often blacks out. As soon as I bring in a dialog box or the notification bar it reappears.

This issues has been present before my touchevent modifications therefore they are not related to it. I guess it might be introduced by some mod (theme-engine, gravitybox, XPosed, stuff like that...)
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
interesting.

can you check where TB put the apk as system app, under /system/priv-app or under /system/app

ur device using a different kernel meaning u got either an unlocked phone or none US. since in the US the bootloader is locked and we cant put customer kernel instead of the stock.... which might have a connection to ARU failing on Note 3...
[Android General] atompru:
Thanks!
[Android General] Globetrotter1006:
I flashed the kernel Omega.

While being tested, but I think the kernel of good, stable.

ARU works well.

Just in case I'll post the log on Omega can help you find the difference with the stock kernel in terms of errors with the application ...

If Omega will present no surprises - a problem for me - solved)

But certainly it is interesting that it does not work program on stock kernel ...

Perhaps this is due to selinux, Knox, etc...
[Android General] keeper22:
I'm afraid this will not help those of us with a locked bootloader. :(
[Android General] jdpdata:
Thanks. I'll wait for Koush beta Mirror app to mature a bit. Will try this later. All the cables in my car is crazy. There must be a better wireless method.
[Android General] f1n4rf1n:
TB did put it under /system/app
[Android General] Area51©:
The bluetooth connection issue is basically between the HU and the Android bluetooth implementation. Since Pioneer tested only up to Android version 4.2.2 for some phones but for most phones a lot older versions and most people are using newer Android versions than officially supported it's likely that problems will occur. Regarding bluetooth communication there are no changes done in ARU other than slightly changing the content of some messages.

I am using the NetGear PTV3000 to wirelessly mirror my phone (Note3) to my AppRadio3. Works a treat.
[Android General] DarrenMi:
TOUCH INPUT SUCCESS ON NOTE 3 (N9005) WITH LATEST BOOTLOADER

I flashed the official Poland 4.2.2 ROM a few weeks ago, so unfortunately my boot-loader is locked to the latest version so I cannot downgrade to 4.3 or flash any AOSP based ROMs or custom kernels.

Last night I flashed OMEGA ROM v11 and a few mins ago I tested the touch input from my AR3 and to my surprise for the very first time IT WORKED after calibration had completed. I was able to dismiss some popup messages and launch the MAP app.

ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2470441

However I also had several "blackouts" with the screen flickering etc which sounds like quoted above - which does not usually happen, and I had to connect via MHL adaptor as my wireless mirroring via PTV3000 would not connect (worked fine on previous SweetROM 4.4.2)

Its certainly promising for those of us who are stuck on the latest bootloader so cannot flash custom kernels etc.

A couple of other changes I made around the same time, other than trying Omega ROM, which you may wish to try on other ROM's to see if they make any difference:

- specifically setting "ROOT" as the "force user" in SuperSU - as I was going to try some of the other user accounts also - however I assume specifying root is the same as not specifying a user at all...

- changed the "Change Security Level" option (under General - Security screen) from High to "Normal" - as I read this is a KitKat change, however it keeps resetting back to High every reboot.

NOTE: I did NOT make ARU a system app - its just installed like normal.

Hope this helps someone :)

EVENING EDIT:

- I tested again at lunch time and had no problems getting AR3 touches to control my N9005 Note3.

- tonight I put SweetROM 12.1 back onto the phone - however no matter what I tried I could not get touches to work.

- I just put Omega ROM back on again, did a full wipe, and installed ARU from scratch to see if I could replicate the touches working - everything worked fine. No need to change ARU to a system app, no need to make other adjustments, it simply works on this ROM when it has not worked on any others I have tried.

No idea what is different about the Omega ROM to other ROM's based off the official Samsung 4.4.2 firmware, but whatever it is, it gets the AppRadio3 touches controlling the phone.

Do you have a backup of the naked Omega install without Xposed or other mods? I still couldn't figure out what's causing the blackouts. Would be interesting to know whether it happens there as well...

I have a Galaxy S4 (I9505) with android 4.3

Can i update to android 4.4.2 without problems? Or is it better not to update.

I read some messages that ARU isn't working anymore afther the update
[Android General] Globetrotter1006:
In my opinion, enough for Samsung 4.4.2, kernel with SElinux permissive...

That's all I needed for the ARU is working.
[Android General] DarrenMi:
I wonder if that (changing SElinux to permissive) is the difference required to make ARU work on Samsungs with KitKat ?

The app below can apparently change it on ROM's that are not already set for permissive... although it does warn that Knox on Samsungs may prevent it from working.

If anyone is on a Note3 stuck on the latest bootloader, with a ROM other than Omega, perhaps try this app and see if it fixes the bluetooth touches.

May need to remove the Knox components, which many custom ROM's offer.

Sorry no, both times I have installed Omega (which after doing a full wipe last night, and setting back up again, I think I will stay on it) I chose to install Xposed.

It could be my cheapie MHL adapter causing it - I am seeing a lot of blackouts (although usually the notification bar is still visible) and white snow.
[Android General] Vissionary:
Thanks for the reply. I'm starting to notice flickering and/or the black screen more and more now so I'm going to try hooking up the slimport to the TV and see what happens with that. I'm hoping it's the HDMI cable and not the slimport. I'm going to fiddle with it after work because it's becoming an annoyance.
[Android General] Mibuix0r:
So I just upgraded my Note II to a 4.3 rom for my appradio 2 and I am having some real trouble with the GPS Injector. It seems once I use titanium backup to make it a system app all hell breaks loose. It doesnt matter if I freeze it, put it back as a user app(and uninstall it), reinstall ARU, or disable gps injector in the ARU settings - it won't let ARU connect, it just gets to 75% and fails. The only way to reverse it is to do a complete wipe and reinstall ARU. Is there something I am doing wrong here? Any advice?
[Android General] Globetrotter1006:
this program does not work for me. Terminal commands too. SELinux was enforced.

only the replacement of the kernel on Omega or Perseus (very not stable) had an effect.

I don't know why, but it's fact.
[Android General] DarrenMi:
Sorry just to clarify, are you able to flash a custom kernel ? Did you upgrade to KitKat using a custom ROM with the older 4.3 bootloader , rather than after flashing official Samsung 4.4 ROM which force upgrades the bootloader to the new locked one?

A lot of Note3 users jumped on the official 4.4.2 when it came out in Poland, and did not realize until later that we cannot downgrade to 4.3 or install custom kernels.

On my Omega v11 ROM under Settings - General - About Device - it says "SE for Android Status" is "Permissive" - I might be on the wrong track but this setting seems likely to be what is allowing the touches to control my phone when other ROM's did not work.
[Android General] shadowmyst87:
So, which GPS does it use? The stereo's or the phone's?
[Android General] DarrenMi:
I am not sure (how do I check what GPS is in use at the time?) - I have not had a chance to play around with the AppRadio map programs yet as I've only had it a few days, and I have a Garmin GPS on the windscreen.

I assume the AppRadio map apps (NavFree and Waze) will use the head unit GPS, but unless I install GPS Injector other apps on the phone like Google Maps would still use the phone.

I have turned my phone GPS off for now, to save battery. Looks like my cheapie MHL adapter is only v1.0 so even when powered via a 2amp plug, it doesnt pass much through to the phone.
[Android General] Globetrotter1006:
I have installed all of the original firmware 4.4.2. + root

Then, set a custom recovery and using it flashed kernel Omega 19 (based on version 4.4.2).

I do not know if there is a kernel for Note 3.

I have Standardized European unit without operator.

If you want to flash 4.3 - remove from firmware file sboot.bin & param.bin, using the total commander, change the extension .tar.md5 on .tar

Flash with Odin is a pure cache and dalvik cache, and will be at least 4.2.2, at least 4.3.

I do not know if it works, if you operator version.

Succeeded connecting to appradio 3 with allshare cast dongle... Note 3 sn900p... 4.4.2 by pass. .. Josh beach k3 1.0.0 rom with "STOCK KERNEL ".. Everything synced fine even to the calibration touch when starting appradio. . BUT then when in appradio I lost touch feature and also I'm not getting the red x hand anymore ... is there a reason for this ? TIA ! ... Also I switched from iPhone to other in settings
[Android General] TEK112:
Make sure BT shows two connections. If you lose touch it is usually becasue the A2DP connection wasn't made. It usually shows up as Media, the other will be Voice.
[Android General] chico260:
Will the 2 BT connections show up in appradio settings ? And how do I get back to the calibrates screen. . Do I have to uninstall then reinstall ARU ... Also if the A2DP wasn't made how can I troubleshoot that ?
[Android General] TEK112:
I don't use the ARU app after I open it for the first time. If you open ARU it will calibrate the screen and give you the limited functionality the appradio app gives you. We want screen mirroring.

Go into the phones BT settings and it should show two BT protocols for the AR3, voice and media. If it doesn't, unpair and repair. The phone should not be plugged into the radio until pairing is complete.

Android Revolution 52.0 and Appradio Unchained

I have a HTC one running Android Revolution HD 52.0 which I recently upgraded too. I had been successfully using Appradio Unchained with prior version of this ROM, but for some reason when I upgraded to 52.0, the phone mirrors to the stereo, but touches on the stereo do nothing.

Just got the appradio 3 in my brand new 2014 Toyota Camry SE sport running unchained and I must say this is so awesome works great on my verizon note 3 this app is one of the main reasons I got the appradio :)
[Android General] shadowmyst87:
I was looking at the Pioneer AVH-X8500BHS to buy and I noticed in the description on Crutchfield's website and it doesn't say anything about AppRadio 3. The only thing it says is mirrorlink AppRadio Mode.

If I search for AppRadio 3 it only brings up two stereos, Pioneer SPH-DA210 and Pioneer SPH-DA110.

So is there a difference between AppRadio Mode and AppRadio 3? They seem to have the same function...

I want to make sure I buy the right stereo to use AppRadio Unchained on.

Thanks
[Android General] jdpdata:
I got the 8500bhs it will work fine with ARU. Only thing is it lacks on-board gps and comes with inferior resistive screen. Neither of those two things bother me much. I got external BT GPS receiver to pair with my phone working great much better than internal gps on my Nexus 5. AR2/AR3 comes with GPS and better capacitive screen but IMHO it lacks many features of the 8500.
[Android General] shadowmyst87:
Wow, really? A resistive touch screen? The thing costs $499 from Crutchfield and they can't even make it capacitive?

You know its funny, the 8500bhs has 4 volt preamp outputs, 6 channels, hd radio, satellite radio, 2 USB ports, SD/SDHC memory, and aux input.

Now if you look at the Pioneer SPH-DA210 it's the same price as the 8500 but you get LESS for the price. It only has 2 volt preamp outputs, no hd radio, no satellite radio, no aux input, no sd card slot, only 1 USB port, and only 4 channels!

Seriously, for something that's suppose to be a flagship product it doesn't offer much.

What kind of boneheads do they have working over at Pioneer anyways?

Rant off...
[Android General] jdpdata:
Yeah I hear ya... Bad mistake on Pioneer' part leaving out gps and capacitive screen. But for me those two things were worth giving up for all the upgrades you listed above.
[Android General] shadowmyst87:
True. But for me, once you go capacitive you don't go back!
[Android General] f1n4rf1n:
Well i'm happy with the 8500BT. My display is rather exposed to sunlight. On glaring capacitive screens (like the Parrot's Asteroid) I wouldn't see anything. As soon as your driving you'd prefer a large touch target over a small gesture area anyhow (see the Maps V6 Mod)...
[Android General] jparasita:
Damn that radio looks better I wish that I bought the 8500 instead I really do not care about the navigation cause on e of the main reasons I got the app radio with unchained is so I could use google maps through my phone.
