Please, exactly what have you done and now, with your G3, what is it able to do with your radio? I have a G3 but this tech area is so new, I am at the starting line. Any concrete directions/how to would be appreciated.

---------- Post added at 09:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 PM ----------

Excellent questions. I'm reading through these 700+ pages... it would be nice if someone in the know, or OP might start up a new thread with the 'gems' of info/procedures, etc, and , close this one. I can be a fast reader, but I'll be 68 by the time I'm done here (JK).

OnePlus does not have mhl output (HDMI as I understand). My initial understanding of the APUR is that it does not need a cable. ?, it is all over BT?
[Android General] Area51©:
Nope. Every AppRadio that supports Android has a HDMI input. If your device has no way to output to HDMI via MHL or Slimport, you need a Miracast or Chromecast device.

Can't get GPS Injector to work with my location settings turned off. Running 5.0 lollipop on a nexus 4. GPS Injector says connected, but Maps won't display anything. GPS Status says 0/0 Sats.
[Android General] stargate125645:
Google Maps won't display anything unless you start a navigation route in my experience. The 0/0 satellites I believe is what is shown when you have mock locations running (which is what you should have).
[Android General] robollama:
Ah, so I have to start the route and then go in and turn off location settings? Is it also that way with ARU Reloaded?
[Android General] stadros83:
Yes it was more like that : "If you go from left to right, does it go up or down".

And some parts of the screen aren't answering.
[Android General] Area51©:
Ok, that confrims my theory.
[Android General] brainiak4431:
Hardware buttons and steering wheel controls: I would imagine that these are easier to implement than the touch controls right?

Wouldn't it be great if developer from ARLiberator shared some code for the hardware buttons and GPS?
[Android General] Area51©:
Maybe, but he won't I am sure. His app costs 35$, no way he is going to give his source away.

Anyway, don't worry I got it covered. I have researched everything already. It's just a matter of finding the time to implement and test it a bit.
[Android General] brainiak4431:
Well there's no way to say that he won't try to take your code to add AR3 functionality to his app.

Maybe try decompiling his source code. It might be encrypted but it could speed up the process. I wish I knew how to do this stuff so I could help speed it up.
[Android General] smalltownbird:
Mine does that in portrait mode also. I believe the app assumes you are in landscape because when I rotate my phone to landscape it works fine.

App radio 3 on hyperdrive TW rom. Once I tell it to connect and I hit the green android on the radios main screen it goes to arunchained. I have tasker setup to send the phone to the homescreen once it connects so I can use my apps.
[Android General] Area51©:
What he would need is the communication code to AR3. That's not mine anyway, it's from Pioneer. He could have reversed engineered it from the Pioneer app already. Take it from me, it's not so simple to do.

I won't tell you my trade secrets, but believe me I am doing everything to make it as quickly as possible.
[Android General] Area51©:
I thought the Pioneer app would take care of that, it always seemed to rotate to landscape but I guess once you step out of the app or not even open it, it won't rotate to landscape anymore. I may have to add that some other way if possible.
[Android General] evillela2001:
Found a small issue. When I connected my phone, the touch screen would work on the radio. I had to kill the app and relaunch for it to work. 1st time this has happened out maybe 30+ times.

[Android General] leobg:
I was just to post update. I have decided to give the CM10.2 a roll on my Nexus 4 (was running 10.1.2 RC2) and I noticed there is issue with screen orientation. HDMI connection no longer forces phone into landscape. Landcape is forced only within Pioneer app and compatible apps. If you exit to home screen - phone goes portrait and touch input is messed up (rotated 90 deg and scaled).

This wasn't the case while on CM10.1 - phone automatically locks to landscape after HDMI link comes up (and current appradio unchained works with no issues)

I was going to propose a feature suggestion for the future version of Unchained - force system wide landscape mode once connection to app is established (likeARL does). Would be more convenient than trying to deal with this via tasker, or other external apps

---------- Post added at 10:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 AM ----------

Along with the orientation lock, I think option to enable car mode would be good too. This way alternative home app can be set for while connected to the radio
[Android General] smalltownbird:
Its no big deal right now. I just use a rotate locker app to keep the phone in landscape while using the mirroring. Tasker is very handy for all this.
[Android General] Area51©:
Ok, I'll put on the nice to have list.
[Android General] Area51©:
I just ordered an AppRadio 3 (SPH-DA110) to speed up development. I can put it on my desk and leave my phone connected all the time for debugging. Saves me going downstairs to the garage, getting into the car, connecting everything, doing some test, disconnecting, going back to my computer, analyze the logcat. It's a good investment to save time.
[Android General] zr2ee:
alright i'll have to play around with it some more later, it wasn't working with my browser for whatever reason. i had one instance today where it failed to connect even though the appradio itself connected via bluetooth as i've seen in the past with ARL, should be easy enough to patch up with a tasker profile in the short term at least. It never seems to happen when i'm testing in my driveway.
[Android General] jdbaldi:
Droid Bionic

I know it's kind of early, but I payed $35 for an app that connected maybe 80% of the time, your app connects 100% of the time. I had a good chance to test this last weekend, getting in and out of my truck many times, a fairly long road trip which I used the navigation and Pandora running in the background, it worked flawless. The no hardware buttons is a easy workaround. For me once the AR2 buttons work, it'll be 100% working.
[Android General] Area51©:
Today I started working on the hardware buttons. I expect to have them working within a week.
[Android General] funnyfun:
I use a STR-DA 110 (AE3) with a Samsung S4 and white Samsung HDMI.

I start ARUnchained, close it, and desktop is displayed in portait mode and DA110 in landscape mode, so not easy to launch an application.

I used a screen locker, tasker with an event with the blutooth connection on the DA110.

I've created a specific destop, adapted to the landscape format that I can manage from the AR screen.

Multi Window Manager to authorized all the applications I want to launch with the Samsung multi-Windows. I can manage 2 applications from AR screen. Thanks ARU.

Known restrictions : hard keys, but I'm confident in Area51.

unplug and replug generate some random behavior withe the touch screen.

The biggest issue for the moment is the S4 does not charge and the USB is connected on the HDMI adapter, the worst : connected on DA110 S4 is discharging slowly, on a 2A car charger (belkin) charge is constant but no charge.

Great job and I can use after all my AR3 as it merits.
[Android General] papa3r:
Great....can't wait...:p
[Android General] -=Jeff=-:
Looking forward to this if you also get the fix in for the android stick.

I have a stick coming to go along with my AR2
[Android General] zr2ee:
Have you looked at your battery settings to see what's using it up? screen and GPS were my biggest issues, was able to eliminate them through screen standby app and turning off my devices internal GPS since the appradio had it's own antenna and ARL was able to take advantage of mock locations at the time. could also be a specific app, slacker uses quite a bit of juice in my instance even in standby.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Sorry, let me rephrase. .. .SS does not work on 4.3 with Samsung Galaxy sevices....

as for ur tasker profile, enable 2 DIM , add intent. in tasker set intent received [name] start BT, Start ARU . Upon disconnect intent received reverse the actions.

works perfect for me.....

only that SS doesnt work (slow phone) so for now until the DEV fixes that i keep disableing the 2 DIM when it starts.

Help.

Not sure if it's my luck, but using an HTC One on 4.3 os and my compatibility list is only showing 3 apps...

Any idea where the rest have vanished to?
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
The rest of the apps will appear only after u connect the phone to the HU.

Besides, why would u care if u can use the awesomeness of ARU to basically use any app u ever wanted :)

[Android General] silashj:
I only have a minute and I am about to go out of town so forgive me if this has been covered. My HTC One with App Radio 3 now will go into connect with little or no issue and other stuff is all fixed woo hoo! but upon waking from sleep my display will go blank except for the notification bar. I have to pull that down, choose an item on the list, open it and then hit the home button to get home. Sounds phone specific. I wonder if a custom app would be better but I worry because this was the best phone I have ever had till I rooted it. No mods just plain rooted stock and its quirky as hell now, locks up, does all kinds of crazy stuff. I got in the car with an iphone the other day and without any config all the data and functionality of spotify, gmusic, the native music app, it all worked. Grr. Anyway this seems really close but the black screen issue is killing me. The native launcher does not work in landscape so I installed nova and it seems to solve that but now there is this notification bar thing.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Sounds very phone specific. Also sounds like the method u used to root ur phone is not the perfect one.

i would recommend resetting ur phone, verify via XDA the best method to root on ur phone specifics, re-root again.

and install ARU, are u using screen standby by any chance? i am on SG4 rooted, 4.3 custom AOKP rom. 99.9% no issues at all.
[Android General] bodieism:
Well at least I know I'm not the only one now. You just saved me the hassle of replacing the PAC TR7 with the microbypass to see if it would work. I wonder how m.a.s.e is able to avoid the second warning screen? I just looked and found that my radio was shipped from Los Angeles, CA.... maybe that's my problem, haha. CA probably has extra regulations for everything else.. so why not head units too lol :laugh:
[Android General] evillela2001:
I get the 2nd warning to but with the bypass I got it still takes care of hit. The US versions of the appradio3 have a 2 step brake warning which is why you get the 2nd warning. You need to get a bypass that does 2 steps made specifically for the app radio 3. (I got mine on amazon)
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Same here
[Android General] bodieism:
How are you still getting the 2nd warning if your bypass takes care of it? Are you saying that it simulates hitting the "Okay" button or am I misunderstanding your post?

G-Note 2 US Verizon AVH-X8500BHS

I finally decided to try it out after reading 80 pages on this thread. The app works on the Note 2 US Verizon version (Stock ROM) with the AVH-X8500BHS but it is a little buggy. I have only used it for an hour or so and haven't tried many apps. Connecting is quick, just plug it in and it's connected. YouTube is odd as the screen locks up and goes black after 1 video. I must hit mode and back out and then go back in to revive the screen. There is no on screen functionality for YouTube videos either. The phone must be used to stop or start videos. Another issue happens when disconnecting. Sometimes the phone still thinks it's connected and stays in landscape. Force closing seems to be the only way to fix it. The battery drains instead of charging, but this may be true for AppRadio as well. There is also the usual MHL connection issues with losing connection sometimes. I am using the Samsung MHL adapter. I will try it more over the next few days. Overall, it seems to work well except for a few bugs. Thank you for all the hard work.
[Android General] bodieism:
Unless you have a custom kernel that allows fast charging, battery drain is to be expected. This is because the stock kernel on the Note 2 limits the current to 475 mA while connected to MHL.
[Android General] evillela2001:
Yeah I never actually have to hit the first OK warning. The bypass somehow simulates the OK being pressed but for the second warning I do need to press OK. What I meant as it takes care of it is the it simulates the brake being on so that the OK button is not grayed out. So essentially I only have to press OK once.

Sony Xperia Z

Hi,

Im having a few problems with the screen calibration with my xperia z, i think its because of the soft keys. Is there anyway to correct this?

Connection is good and quick

Gps is only from the telephone and not the HU, which is annoying because if i put the Phone in the glove compartment i loose GPS.

Xperia drains more than it charges, i use SS but mabe i have the settings wrong. When screen on Phone is off the HU is off too.

I use Sygic for the sat nav which works good but only when Phone is on the dashboard.

Last but not least i wish steering wheel buttons would work, i have a Volvo s 60.

Otherwise im very happy.
[Android General] stargate125645:
You don't need location settings on at all. You just start the route.
[Android General] JeffDC:
Yes, you are correct, my radio does have an HDMI cable. Right now it is for an iPhone. The OnePlus phone does not have an HDMI output, as far as I can recall. The G3 does.

I was hoping for a bluetooth method only, so I can keep my iPod connected.

Thank you for quick responce, I decided to buy this app to support area51. Seems Arliberator has appended their followers. Ran into same problem as home screen but I then downloaded recommended launcher nova... home screen is very dull but it fixed problem. There has to be a better looking launcher or tweak that other s5 users are using cause I cant imagine anyone liking it. Phone got really hot also is there a fix for that? ARUR did have a cool feature I noticed right away, when u unplug phone it turns off app...

AVH-X5700DAB & LG G2 trouble

Hi.

I have some issues getting ARU to work on my new Pioneer AVH-X5700DAB with my LG G2. I have searched this thread and Google for info on this unit, but it seems nobody has it. This unit has the new (?) 1-USB cable setup. Problem is ARU doesnt recognise my unit when i plug in the usb cable. Bluetooth streaming is working fine, phonecalls to, but the unit doesnt connect to AppRadio or ARU on bluetooth, only through USB. Anyone have any ideas? Phone is rootet, checked root with RootChecker and checked that ARU has superuser access. Tried the stock AppRadio app, but there i only have AppRadioLIVE, wich i find usless because it doesnt even support Spotify.

Bonus question: Can anyone explain the difference between AppRadio Mode and Mirrorlink? In the settings of my HU i can choose between AppRadio and Mirrorlink when Other is chosen, but what can the Mirrorlink mode be used for?

Regards from Norway
[Android General] stargate125645:
Try Apex Launcher. No way to turn US version Samsung screens off that I've seen, so heat will be a problem.
[Android General] Area51©:
I can't find a user manual online yet. In general a head unit can only support AppRadio mode for Android if it has a HDMI input. This is used for audio and video from your phone. Touch and Button info is sent back via Bluetooth. Mirrorlink connects via USB only but it's quite slow and can't be used with ARU/ARUR.
[Android General] Sebba92:
pioneer.eu/eur/products/25/109/281/AVH-X5700DAB/page.htm Link to headunit with manual. Then i think i understand, it seems like the stock AppRadio app uses MirrorLink on this HU then, as it is quite slow and useless, that is the built in support anyways. Then i might have to research if this HU supports the CD-ML100. As i understand it the CD-AH200 uses HDMI in on the HU, wich this one doesnt have.
[Android General] Area51©:
I think CD-ML100 provides a Mirrorlink -> RGB interface. Your HU supports Mirrorlink already so I think it's useless. What you would need is an HDMI->RGB interface and then it depends if the HU supports AppRadio mode via RGB but I don't think so. I think I read somewhere somebody tried it (can't remember with what HU) and it didn't work.
[Android General] Sebba92:
Ah, okay thanks for the tip, then i wont waste any money on that and i will rather try to get rid of this HU and get one that actually supports what i want :p Should have done my reasearch properly the first time around! Thanks for all the help so far anyways.
[Android General] Area51©:
Too bad if you just got it. If you plan to use GPS from an AppRadio then you should know that only AR2, AR3 & AR4 support this. If you get a real high end model that has built-in navigation, you would think that it would also send GPS data to the phone in AppRadio mode but Pioneer says no. You can only use the GPS with built-in navigation.
[Android General] Sebba92:
Yeah, its my own fault though, as i didnt check properly before i ordered it (got it cheap through work). I dont really care for the built in navi function, because i am quite happy with Gmaps or Waze. But i do want DAB+ beacuse the FM band here in Norway is going to be shut down in the near future and DAB+ is going to take its place. And with those criterias is only covered by the AVIC series wich are much to expensive anyways. So looking at other brands than Pioneer, but my hopes are low.
[Android General] kevace1:
So I can sum up what i have read the last 15 or so pages.....I was looking to get the avh-5600bhs which does not have an HDMI port, but has advanced app mode and mirrorlink compatibility. I want to use my Gmaps or Waze and have it seen through my HU, and figured mirrorlink, with some hack, would be the best affective way, but I see that many complain that its slow. Then I was looking at the avh-8500bhs and that one does have an HDMI input, which I have read somewhere here that it is best for android, if you have an MHL enabled phone. I currently have the OnePlus One, which does not have that, and really just want to mirror if possible my phone on the display, or mainly use it for Pandora, iHeart radio, and to use Gmaps as my navigator. What would be the best bet for me? On eBay, there is basically a $90 difference between the 2, and would like to know if its necessary for me to get the 8500 since it has the HDMI input and can allegedly produce my phones image?
[Android General] JeffDC:
Am I understanding with your info that I can Miracast/screencast my phone to my Pioneer, via bluetooth, with no cable needed? Which is what I would like to do, if possible, over changing out my current (iPhone) HDMI cable setup to my Pioneer, with an 'Android' compatible cable. The OnePlus does not have an HDMI out, as far as I understand. I understand the G3 does - but again I prefer to go full bluetooth to screen cast, if possible.

I had thought that with Appradio Unchained/R, it was all bluetooth, no cable, about the same as I mirrorcast from my phone to my TV, which works great.
[Android General] stargate125645:
No. Look up information on this stuff. They all require something to be plugged into the HDMI or USB port of the head unit. You will not be able to get around plugging something into the HDMI or USB port. What you can get around is whether you have to plug your phone into something.
[Android General] JeffDC:
Thanks Stargate. I have been looking/reading on the questions I have. If I had found the answer (yet), I would not be posting up a (help) question on a help forum. Sometimes it is just the concrete (appropriate) response that clarifies.

Please help ...

I installed DA110 with a Android Stick and it is working marvelously.

I am using Sygic for navigation and there is no problem with it. Appradio Unchained Reloaded (Thank you again [MENTION=5417637]Area51©[/MENTION] ) doing it is job and GPS data injected to the stick. A couple of more apps using the GPS data without any problem. The only app that is not working is Google Maps. It says "waiting for the location" but nothing more. What is the problem? Any suggestion?
[Android General] stargate125645:
Well, I gave you a concrete answer. I refuse to believe you searched, though, given you could easily find these things out on a Wikipedia page for MirrorLink or Chromecast, or by simply looking up the image for an adapter on Google.
[Android General] JeffDC:
I don't care what you believe. If you have the personal integrity/character to respond affirmatively, then do so. I don't ask a question based upon my perception of your level of understanding, I ask it on my current level of knowledge.

My thoughts were to HD bluetooth stream/cast to my HU, similar to how I do with my TV. I have not found a method to do that, and that is the direction of my research.

If you don't want to participate affirmatively, then remain silent. Your 'beliefs', particularly based upon a less than adequate data set (about me) are not relevant, not helpful, nor accurate, other than to yourself. For the other 'balance' of your response, thank you.

And for the others who provide assistance, thank you, as well.
[Android General] 400ixl:
From what I can see the 5700 does not by default do Mirrorlink over bluetooth. You get the ca-mu50 accessory lead and plug the phone into that. Whether the OnePlusOne supports that I do not know.

On the devices with HDMI in you can plug an adapter into the connection (be it ChromeCast, Miracast, AllShare) and then beam from the phone to that and into the HU.
