Sorry have to wait till tonight, I am at work now, working..............

My hack holiday is next week, I am hoping to make a lot of progress. Many things to do.

One thing you can try:

1)In a terminal do:

su

chmod 666 /dev/uinput

ls -l /dev/uinput

2) Go to settings (einstellungen?) / apps / AppRadio ARU and stop the app from running.

3) Start ARU again

4) Connect to the radio and see if it works now.

Even with the Pioneer MHL Cable with the Samsung Tip I get a black screen on my AR3! ;(

I even switched firmware to CM10.1.3 but that did the same thing!

I'm so lost!

Did you try to connect your Phone/MHL cable combo to a TV or a monitor? Does that work?

You'll need to install Tasker from the Google Play Store and import the 2 data sets into Tasker

The main issue i have is Getting connected to ARunchained once that happens all is good..Drops connection here and there but thats just for like 20 secs on and off.

---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 PM ----------

OH yea MY back up camera wont work when in mirroring?ANY REASON WHY?
[Android General] cyberbrett:
little enseaha

A few things that should help

1. make sure you are running a stock rooted ROM

2. make sure your head unit is NOT set to auto connect Bluetooth. Bluetooth can't load before HDMI or you won't have touch and may only have audio on your phone rather than the HU

3. let the head unit come up completely and start app mode before connecting your phone

4. start ARU on your phone, wait 10 seconds, start Bluetooth on your phone and THEN connect your phone to the HU. That order was important for mine to work correctly.

We're still at the forefront of this technology, so there will be a lot of trial and error. document what works and what doesn't work. That will help you get past your problems. It took me a few weeks to work out the kinks. :)

---------- Post added at 04:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 AM ----------

For the backup camera, depending on your HU, you need to be sure it is enabled and that the polarity is set correctly. Double check the RCA port you plugged it into. I don't know which HU you're running, but mine has a TON of RCA ports on it. Could be easy to plug into the wrong one...
[Android General] hghflyrjd1:
Ill try those steps....Im on a App radio 3..
[Android General] RubenRybnik:
Just picked up and installed the appraido 3 today. Loving the head unit but really looking forward to full mirroring an android device. Right now I have an LG G2 ( AT&T ) and the newer nexus 7 ( Wifi ). Since neither is listed as being compatible I'm wondering what my options are.

- Ultimately I'd like to hookup the tablet and leave it in the glove box for my android device. What is the best way to make the connection to the tablet? Will the Samsung MHL adapter work? Or should I use a slimport adapter instead?

- If I can't use the tablet what about the phone? Just an MHL adapter? Will any MHL adapter thats stated to work for a device work with the AppRadio? Or do I need the Samsung specific MHL adapter?

- What version of ARUnchained is needed for the tablet? Should I use the USB Stick version?

- If I just wanted to leave everything connected and the tablet in the glovebox ( if that is a workable option ) has anyone been able to fully automate the connection process? I guess what I mean is, will I have to take the tablet and disconnect / reconnect when I start the car to get the tablet paired up and mirroring? Or will automating everything with tasker work? ( Don't really need specifics just want to make sure I'm not chasing something that wont work ).

Really excited to get this up and running, thanks for any help ya'll can provide.

[EDIT]

- If I can't use the phone or tablet due to compatibility anyone have recommendations for a device around $100 - $200 ( used obviously ) tablet or phone with cell connectivity( either 3G or 4G, if not I'll use my hotspot ). I see multiple tablet options on glyde.com like the Galaxy Tabs ( tab 1 - tab 3 ) and other android tablets as well. Or am I better off just getting a compatible phone ( the pioneer supportability choices are pretty slim )

- Last question, android OS compatibility? Should I downgrade to Jellybean or earlier? I saw some posts saying kitkat still has some kinks to work out.
[Android General] Area51©:
Just use them, both are reported working by one or more users. In general a lot more than officially supported will work.

Both your devices use a SlimPort adapter. A good one is the Analogix SP1003. There are cheaper versions but you are likely to get video snow.

I think the normal one works. I would try that one first.

Try KitKat first since it's working for many people. Only with Samsung there's a lot of trouble due to SELinux being set in nonpermissive mode.
[Android General] RubenRybnik:
Thanks so much for the info. Just ordered the slimport adapter, will update after I get everything setup.
[Android General] orpheus1988:
I have the 3G Nexus 7 2013 working, normal ARU, slimport adapter with optional car power adapter (1.5A upwards) and a custom kernel with fast charge enabled (I have Bulletproof kernel), should get you going. Also running 4.4.2 stock ROM no changes necessary, no SELinux problems anywhere.

I take my tablet with me and reconnect HDMI mostly after the HU is powered up and the initial message was ok'd, sometimes I leave it in the car and when I start, it reconnects again, but I think it might not do reliably.
[Android General] Area51©:
I found an app called "Autosleeper Auto power ON-OFF", may be interesting when you do a permanent Nexus 7 install. I think you can use Tasker for that as well. Tasker will give you more flexibility too.

It's probably a good idea to hardwired usb car charger as the AR3 can't deliver enough power through the USB to keep your tablet charged. This one for example: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47291919&postcount=1246

Just make sure you don't connect it to the non switched 12V from your car or it will empty your car battery.
[Android General] cheesebox:
I have ARU running with my LG G2. If you go down this route and require a fast charge kernel, I can confirm that the Dorimanx kernel works with the Analogix Slimport sp1003. I am still on JB, but I believe that Dorimanx is about to release a kernel for KK too very soon.

I had some issues with snow, which was down to the HDMI cable. Basically, this was solved by using a HDMI cable with ferrite cores, http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003L14WUE.

Happy to help further if you run into any problems.
[Android General] RubenRybnik:
Thank you all... Should be getting the Slimport adapter on Tuesday and ordered that HDMI cable just in case ( can't have enough of those anyways ;) ) Hopefully I'll have some results by Wed next week and I'll let ya'll know. Love the community here as always, thanks again!
[Android General] inkarnata:
Area51 thank you so much for all of your hard work. I've had crude car-puter setups, a tablet mounted to my dash, a simple A2DP Bluetooth audio connection which was finicky on its own, and now finally Appradio2, the phone I carry everywhere with me anyhow and ARU a relatively simple turn key solution to and Android lover's dreams. Also through the testing and setup of ARU and the AppRadio, I learned all of the Bluetooth troubles I've had over the years have been due to custom ROMs and Radios. Since reverting my S3 to stock it has yet to fail to connect to the AppRadio, Love this app!

Outstanding Issues with ARU and motorola droid

I have been using ARU since the beginning. I also bought the injector. But I still have some naggling issues:

(1) ARU sometimes take a long time to connect. Occasionally even BT takes a long time to connect to AR. I have to toggle the BT

(2) The steewing wheel buttons sometime takes 5 mins before it starts to respond.

(3) With google maps, the injector is rather slow, sometime is updates the map once every 2 mins

(4) When I start waze, almos nearly once a day, it asks me to calibrate the screen

Besides this, it's the best. Oh another question. Does anyone know of AR2 can be straight swapped out to an AR3. I am thinking of getting an AR3. Has any one done it?

I also have an Ipod connected in the glove compartment. Does anyone know how to disable the "Allow" application to control Ipod screen?

regards,

Chin

I used this program and it worked for me on my vs980 running 4.4.2
[Android General] Area51©:
Out of curiosity, what radio did you switch to?
[Android General] Area51©:
This is not really normal. Are you using a custom rom? Is touch responding or do you have lag? Also are you using the Screen standby app? This is known to cause weird issues, like slow reponses and so on.

The calibration issue may be fixed with this: arunchained0.16a.apk

I haven't swapped it but I believe it's possible. I have an AR2 in one of my cars and an AR3 for development and the connectors are exactly the same.
[Android General] munsterwrench:
I just swapped. My ar2 for an ar3 I had the. Cd-ah200, very easy swap, power plug is the same and so pretty much everything. Else but now you have a dedicated. Usb plug in back
[Android General] conmetal:
Another confirmation of simply installing a Kernel with SELinux set to Permissive to overcome lack of touch functions. SELinux Mode Changer, Wanam Xposed nor the Terminal Emulator codes would enable Permissive for my Note 3.

NOW i seem to have getting connected down part for the most part..NOW>Once it is connected im having an issue to where the HDMI connection keep connecting an disconnection even though its obviously plugged in still..Sometime it flips on off for a min or two and ill disconnect or power cycle and re connect...Or turn off bluetooth on the phone then back on to fix it..WHAT COULD CAUSE HDMI TO THINK IT IS CONNECTION AND DISCONNECTing ?
[Android General] texbuck:
Change HDMI cables and if that doesn't fix it, it's probably your mhl/slimport adapter.
[Android General] jlleiber:
Works great on my HTC one M8 stock. I have troubles with screen standby so I just have a tasker set to dim brightness all the way when HDMI is plugged.

One thing I got stuck on was not changing the input source to "other" on the app radio itself. I had a lot of trouble connecting because it was set to iPhone5. Changed it to "other" and it connected no problem. Incredible mod.

Also sometimes my phone gets rather warm and sometimes it doesn't. I think it happens when I use Google maps mostly.

When I have it hooked up with the Pioneer CD-ah200 and am just passing music, even with my phone screen on it still gains battery charge so I don't have any issues there either
[Android General] lpasq:
I did a straight swap. Every cable worked including antenna and GPS. I have a Nexus and iPod Touch Gen 4 hook up, and backup camera.
[Android General] RetroRepairTips:
Hey there Area51, first let me say thank you for this wonderful app, as it has gotten me much further to doing anything than pioneers has.

The only problem I seem to be having now, is that the touch function does not work at all for me.

I'm using an AR3, with your latest download of ARU, and a stock Galaxy note 3. When I first connected the first time, the white dots came on, and the touch screen did work, I was pressing the dots to proceed. But after that none of my touches register to my phone.

Do you have anything I could try to get it to work? I just want to use my damn radio for the function intended man.

Thanks again for the amazing mod, I really love it already. I just need to get it fully functional, but I would totally send some cash your way. You deserve it.

-Cody
[Android General] texbuck:
When you say stock Galaxy note 3, it makes me think it isn't rooted. If it is rooted, then one needs to see if selinux is set to permissive. I am just repeating things that have been repeated several times before. Samsung phones aren't the friendliest things when it comes to this type of stuff.

[Android General] markjo:
Quick question... searched "radio" and "FM" in this thread but didn't get very far.

Can you listen to other audio while mirroring? For example, if I have Waze up on the head unit, can I also be listening to FM radio at the same time?
[Android General] mha1021:
Can you please tell me how to import the Tasker Data into TASKER. I copied the data into MS word and saved it as .xml and when i tried to import, tasker would find the file then i renamed it to HDMI Plugged.prj.xml i can find the xml file with tasker but it fails to import. so can you help please. or if you can upload the .xml file. thanks in advance.
[Android General] 400ixl:
It has been answered several times in the thread so surprised you didn't find it. Its also in the manual.

Double press home button on the HU to get the menu bar across the bottom, select mix mode and then radio.
[Android General] markjo:
Ah, I'm sorry.. admittedly I was dead tired, searched for a minute or so and gave up. I did see mention of mix mode though, and sort of figured that was it. Thanks. I don't actually have the unit yet, I'm wating for it to come in the mail.
[Android General] bigcid10:
can you give me a step by step procedure to to do that in tasker

I have the same phone and I have tasker as well,thank you
[Android General] jmetcalfe84:
I had the same issue this person had on my GS3 when I tried to switch from old n slow's mostly stock 4.3 rom. I tried alliance's 4.3 rom but bluetooth wouldn't connect and take off like it normally does on my app radio 2. I had to restore back, must be some changes made to the bluetooth settings going from a mostly stock rom to a custom one.
[Android General] jlleiber:
Sure thing.

In tasker make sure you are on the "profiles" tab and press the + at the bottom right. Then press the following:

1. State>Hardware>HDMI plugged

2. Then you get a screen giving you the option to check "invert". Leave this unchecked and press the "<" button at the top left. A small gray new task box will pop up automatically

3. Now press the + next to "New Task" and it asks you for a task name. It's okay to leave the name blank and just hit the checkmark.

4. Now press the + at the bottom middle to add your task. Then press display>display brightness. Now drag the blue circle all the way left and the number should read 0. Now press the "<" at the top left.

5. Now you should see on your screen that task 1. is display brightness and the level is 0

6. Again press the < at the top left and you'll see your new profile has been made and it'll say HDMI plugged > display brightness 0.

When you exit tasker by pressing the home button it will automatically save what you just did and will instantly start working next time you connect to hdmi.

You can also click on your profile "HDMI plugged" and continue pressing the + at the bottom middle and adding any more tasks that you want your phone to do when plugging in HDMI

how to force AppRadio connection?

hi,

from time to time AppRadio just doesn't connect at all.

Yes, BT is connected.

But, AppRadio (ARU) doesn't connect.

Starting ARU doesn't help.

What helps is rebooting the phone, but this isn't good way, is it?

Everything work on the phone, as I don't see any other issues.

Anything else I can try?

thanks.

I just purchase a appradio. I just want to know. What else do I need to buy to connect my Samsung galaxy note 2 and get it to mirror? Do I only need the hdmi cable? Or do I need more? Thanx in advance for the help
[Android General] Area51©:
First of all, you don't have to install it as a system app for it to work. Only thing is that you have to enable mock locations manually from Android's developer options. It's recommended to see first if you can get it to work that way.

If you have it working then it makes sense to try to convert it to a system app. If you don't find it in the locations as mentoned above, you have to search a bit more. After all if you can run it, it has to be somewhere.
[Android General] jlleiber:
This is what I posted in the screen standby thread...

Trying to get this to work on my HTC one M8 with busybox installed and it turns the screen off just fine. But I can't get the screen to register my touches after. I can use the volume keys and lock power button but all that does is show my lock screen and none of my touches register. <br />

Also if I press lock button my screen shows up and if I press it a second time my screen turns off. I can then use double tap feature to turn screen on but no more touches register after that. I can also use the swipe up feature from black screen to unlock the phone but again no more touches register after that. I have to do a hard reboot to get it functioning again.

Any ideas on a fix?

What all stuff do you have installed and what options do you have set on screen standby?
[Android General] bigcid10:
what kind of radio do you have?
[Android General] mattceez:
I also have the same issue. At times it doesn't connect, mainly if I've either had multiple apps open or the phone hasn't been restarted in a while. I generally have about a 3-5 minute delay when ARU does connect.

I'm currently running an HTC m7 with ViperOne rom.

I love this app! Just need to know how/if I need to tweak settings to get this working a little more consistently for me. :)
[Android General] fwaqo:
Hey, I might seem a lil' stupid but I can't find any solution:

I got the DA110 in combination with a Galaxy S4. When i turn my phone's bluetooth on, it auto-connects to the radio and my car is playing the music I opened on my phone. (Btw, track + and - are not working, is there a special app required?)

Then, when i click on Apps, the "Settings" button is greyed out and the "Ignore" button leads to "attention, do not use while driving (or something similar)". I'm pretty sure it's because of the parking brake. Is it good to just connect the parking brake wire to some GND screw to bypass is?

Thank you in advance

Note 3 almost there

Hi all,

I am so close to having the appradio 3 da110 working with my note 3 with ARUNCHAINED full root busy box etc.

My problem is that after the setup of the touch screen I can't use the touchscreen. ..It just becomes unresponsive. How do I over come this? The bluetooth connects fine etc just the touch screen is not working
[Android General] Area51©:
If your root is OK, it's probably that SELinux is in nonpermissive mode so it blocks access to the /dev/uinput device. It's a common problem thanks to Samsung's security crap, read the last 10 pages or so.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Probably worth adding something like this to your original post.Or even better, tell everyone not to buy Samsung crap in the first place :lol:

I have a Samsung phone and still can't use touch despite being rooted

Samsung have introduced what they call a security enhancement called Knox which stops the touch driver creation. Details can be found at http://www.samsung.com/uk/business/solut...msung-knox

One method to disable Knox (but will need to be done at every reboot) is http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/how-disable-sam...de-1438333

Tasker comands

So I have tasker installed WHAT DO I DO NEXT
[Android General] 400ixl:
Well, you must have installed it for a reason, so what are you trying to do? What problems are you having in relation to AppRadio that you need Tasker for?

The vast majority of people do not need it for ARU and AppRadio to work as it should. Its mainly used to fix issues with particular phones or ROM's.
[Android General] jlleiber:
Well I think I figured it out. I had a couple tasker profiles set to turn bluetooth on/off and run/kill ARU when HDMI is plugged. I think having that type of profile while also having "HDMI auto-detect" on in ScreenStandby causes the issue. Deleted my tasker profiles and now screen standby seems to be running smoothly.

Now I need to figure another way to turn on bluetooth and run ARU when I get in my truck...NFC tags maybe? Or I could just leave bluetooth always on and have it run ARU when bluetooth gets connected since my headunit is the only thing I'll ever connect to ARU
[Android General] 400ixl:
I just leave bluetooth and ARU running all the time and it works fine. Its less reliable if I start trying to mess around with it.

At worst, maybe have a delay on bluetooth disconnect and restart both at that point so it is ready for when you get back in the car.
[Android General] jlleiber:
Yeah I figured I could just leave them both running all the time. It's nit-picky, but the fewer icons I have in my status bar the better. So I'd rather not have to see the Bluetooth symbol all the time.
[Android General] Emporioo:
Just a heads up in case no one has mentioned it before in this thread, getting touch to work with the S5 can be done using the modified kernel by Friedrich (AEL) as it changes SElinux to permissive mode.

Prior to this I was using arunchained on my s4 with relatively good results, but the S5 takes it up a gear as the speed via arunchained/gps injector etc. is phenomenal now! I can definitely feel a big performance increase even though my S4 was no slouch.

I still need to sort a few things out as it can be a bit buggy from time to time but I'm solely putting this down to the screen standby app and Bluetooth. Keeping Bluetooth turned on without having tasker mess around with it seems the best way for getting a reliable connection every time.

My eternal thanks to you area51!!!

"don't touch" icon

I just installed an AR3 and everything seems to work (eventually) except for a few items:

- the red "don't touch" hand with a pointing finger icon usually appears after connecting the phone while the display is being mirrored. At this point the AR3 doesn't accept any input on the touch screen. After some time it appears to go away and I can use the touch display on the headunit.

- "connecting" seems to get stuck at 50% most times

Phone is Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Android 4.4.2 (Cynogenmod v11)
