That means that the /dev/uinput device can't be accessed. Either root is not root as it should be or Knox / SELinux is still blocking something somehow.

If you have SuperSU installed, did you grant root access to ARU?
[Android General] zenway9:
I tried this app for my Note 3. I downloaded Root Checker and it confirms I am rooted. When I change to "Permissive" in SELinux Mode Changer, it notifies me that my permission has changed to "Permissive". I reboot and check my settings and I am still in "Enforcing" mode. I have tried many different things and the only thing I can guess that is not letting me change to "Permissive" is that I do not have a custom ROM downloaded. When I read about flashing my ROM...my rear end puckers. I had no problems rooting my phone (I am not a developer by any means, but also not a complete idiot). Do I really need to install a custom ROM in order to get my touchscreen working?

---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------

I granted superuser access to ARU, but I have a couple questions. In my root app (Chainfire), there are some choices for the ARU app access. They are as follows:

Access: Prompt, Grant, Grant+Time, Deny, Deny+Time, and PIN Code

Notifications: Global Default, Enabled, and Disabled

Logging: Global Default, Full Content, Access Only, and None

Force User: Many choices, but I have chosen "None"

What should my settings be for each one?

Thanks.

Mk908ii Rk3188T confirmed working

I used this ROM and this Kernel. I had to use tasker to launch the AppRadio Unchained app at boot. The Mk908ii always booted with the Bluetooth on. It connected to the AppRadio every time, but not to the APU app. Again I used tasker to turn off the Bluetooth and then turn it back on after the AppRadio Unchained app was launch. This works every time for me. The system works perfectly. Hope this helps people.

Did you order the Samsung tip from Samsung? That might be your problem. I have 4 cables from Amazon & eBay and only 1 of them works with any consistency. The above post is a good idea too. If it doesn't work on your TV then you'll know the problem is the cable. Are you connecting the adapter to a power source? I think you need MHL 2.0 for it to work without a charger attached.

Problems like these are why I always recommend ordering the 11 pin Samsung cable directly from Samsung (if your phone needs the 11 pin setup). If you register your device with them they'll even give you a %50 off coupon so you'll be able to get something you know for a fact will work for just a little over 20 dollars.

I have a request. When you add force rotate to your app could you maybe add in an option to disable it? I kind of like the setup I have now because Tasker sets portrait mode when I disconnect the cable. In ARL my phone always went to landscape even when I didn't have the cable connected. That was kind of annoying.

Thanks,

Bodie
[Android General] Area51©:
My plan is to activate force rotate when bluetooth is connected to the radio and deactivate it when bluetooth disconnects. Can you work with that?
[Android General] bodieism:
Once I'm in the car bluetooth will always be connected so I would run into the same issue as ARL. I'm probably in the minority, but it would be nice to have an option to disable that if/when you implement it.
[Android General] Area51©:
I will see what I can do. To add an options screen is not just coding it but requires more reverse engineering of the original app first. To see where to add it.

Other users using a similar app have reported snow issues due to their wireless settings, in cases such as those they were able to remedy them by adjusting their wireless settings. You can see a more detailed explanation here: http://appradioforums.com/Thread-Workaround-for-Samsung-snow-issues

Hi, just out of curiousity.... how does this "snow" looks like..... i just got everything connected, i dont think i have "snow" but i did notice that when in landscape, it is a bit pixelated... especially test on the home screen. but that could be because NOVA cram my home screen when in landscape... i have a 10X8 Grid and that could be the issue...

but wondering whats that "snow" looks like... AR3, Samsung TIP, Pioneer android Kit. SG4 ATT
[Android General] zr2ee:
the pixelation is most likely due to what you described, Snow is like trying to watch over the air TV without an antenna, no picture and no sound just a lot of black and white static essentially, usually due to poor connections.
[Android General] Area51©:
You will also have pixelation because the radio screen resolution is only 800 x 480 while your phone has a higher resolution.

Yes I was rooted. I had no issues initially usuing ARU with Appradio 2. I think the screen was initially unresponsive, but for some reason started working. I haven't been able to get ARU working since the first day, but I honestly haven't gone back and tried again recently since I got ARL working.

I'll test that after work:) can't wait for new upcoming releases:) thank u area51

ARL and ARU might conflict with each other, ARL used to conflict with the stock pioneer app and caused issues for users in the past
[Android General] rchapoteau:
Yeah I try not to have them loaded St the same time. Though back when I was able to get ARU to work ARL was loaded at the time. When I stopped ARL from running ARU stopped. Then I tried getting them to work the same way I had in the past and it was no dice. I was able to get ARL to work on its own though.

Ahh found that super user was set to deny access to root, now its working fine no delay in screen response etc using a £13 cheapo mhl from asda's,

just a couple of quick questions

The head unit display appears to be at a different resolution than the phone - so im missing a small amount of screen, any way to alter it on the phone?

I need an extension cable from the mhl adaptor, i dont want it all dangling on my dash, any suitable for samsung i assume this needs to be 11 pin?

thanks for a great bit of software! :laugh:
[Android General] Fekker:
Use another launcher like Nova Launcher to get all your icons on screen.
[Android General] IWantAnA2:
I picked up an MHL adapter from Best Buy today and got it all figured out. My only issue now is that when I plug the phone in, I'm left in Portait mode until I rotate the device. I've checked the settings in ARU and Rotation locker is checked off. However, my rotation isn't locked. The phone is an HTC One m8 with ViperROM, and the stock Kernel. Another issue is that the touch screen doesn't respond on the AppRadio 3, instead I get a pointing hand with a red "X" when I touch it. I also noted that it does not support sound from the car speakers.

Is it an app permission issue?

Make sure you are s-off and have the latest version of busy box installed aswell.

---------- Post added at 07:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ----------

Use an exposed app to make the home screen support landscape and make a script in Tasker to force the phone into landscape mode when an hdmi is plugged in. I'm working on a AR unchained Tasker profile should be all set in a few days. Also look into a custom Launcher just for the app radio mode. I got a modified version of go Launcher HD(suposed to only work on tablets). Then I got an xposed app to set dpi per app to set the dpi of the Launcher as close to the app radio 3 screen as possible. Should get the radio in by next week. Once everything is finished I will post a thread for setup and a video.

Look at attached picture for landscape mode on home screen support.
[Android General] Area51©:
Are you sure you have bluetooth paired properly and it actually connects? Rotation locker won't kick in until bluetooth is connected.
[Android General] IWantAnA2:
I have it connected with bluetooth. It plays music from my device, and makes phone calls. Oddly enough, when the apps icon shows up to click on the appradio, there is a small x next to the bluetooth symbol above that app icon. When I click on apps, it asks me to make sure that I am indeed connected via bluetooth, and will let me go to settings, or ignore. I've been clicking ignore because the phone says it's connected. Do I need to do something on the appradio with the bluetooth?
[Android General] Area51©:
If you do ignore you won't connect properly. Also if you have an AR3 you need to set the bluetooth connection settings to Others instead of Iphone.
[Android General] IWantAnA2:
Ah, that was my issue. I had noticed that it was set to iPhone, and it never let me change it. I had to follow the instructions of disconnecting the cable and bluetooth, back out of the settings in the app, reconnect it all, and then disconnect it all in order to be able to change the source to "Other." Works like a charm now! My daughter is gonna be all about watching Netflix in the back seat on the way to school!

I appreciate all your help!

Hi,

Can any of you tasker wizards out there help me make a profile that allows my S4 to stay connected to my Gear 2 watch, except when I plug it into my AppRadio 2? Then it should disconnect from the gear, and connect to the radio, until its unplugged again.

Samsung galaxy s4 4.3 stock rom on and off issues

Hi, fist off just want to thank the developer for such an amazing app. I have a samsung galaxy s4 sgh- m919 with 4.3 rooted stock rom and use hdmi cable out of my app radio 3 and connect it to an mhl 2.0 samsung adapter. I had a really tough time getting this set up to work originally until I did two things that really helped out..one was turning off bluetooth auto connection and the other was not syncing my contacts and call history when I originally paired bluetooth. Also I have had success for the past week or so by first connecting the mhl to phone when I first turn on car,waiting a few seconds then clicking ok on first warning screen, then pairing bluetooth manually on my phone. I can tell its going to work fine when I see a little bluetooth and arrows icon on my app button. However sometimes the app and pandora buttons stay grayed out and I sometimes have to try reseating mhl or resyncing blueooth and sometimes it works. I also have to reboot my phone sometimes. I have set my superSu app to grant access to all apps too. Has anyone had a similar set up or should I install another rom? or is there anyother app I could download that will make this work more consistant. Just wondering It is just so strange that it will work perfectly sometimes for a few days..then all of a sudden it will start acting up. I know this rom version is not compatible with original app radio 3 app so I really should be gratefull that I can get it work sometimes with arunchained but its almost like a big tease sometimes.

Strange but true, when you have connection problems with 4.4.x it sometimes helps to install Pandora. In Europe it's officially not available but you can google for Pandora APK and install it that way. Only installing and running it once seems to be enough. It's worth a try.

Taken directly from the instructions listed in the OP.

"

For the GPS service to work Mock locations has to be enabled. To use the phone built in GPS, Mock locations has to be disabled. It can become tedious to set this manually so ARUnchained GPS Injector has an auto on/off Mock locations feature. In order for this to work ARUnchained GPS Injector has to be converted into a system app.

This involves moving "mars.area51.arunchainedgps.apk" from "/data/app" to "/system/app". This can be done with root explorer for instance. Set permission to rw-r--r-- and reboot your phone. On Android 4.4 (KitKat) you should move the apk to "/system/priv-app" folder instead."

ARU and Samsung GS4 - BT issues

Hi all.

I have an AT&T GS4 I'm trying to connect to my AR3 but I'm having a problem with Bluetooth. The phone will not consistently connect to both the Phone and Media (A2DP) channels. I get the phone connection just fine, but the A2DP... not so much. And of course, without that I have no touch control from the head unit side.

I've tried all the common tricks... pairing from the phone side, pairing from the AR3 side, unpairing and repairing, blowing away the BT cache, connecting the cable then starting the AR3, starting the AR3 then connecting the cable, using Tasker to turn the app and the connections on and off (and on) in the suggested order. I've tried various BT utility apps, such as A2DP Volume and BT Auto Connect, downloaded from the Google store. Heck, I even upgraded my phone from 4.3 (rooted) to 4.4.2 (stock/rooted) via a torturous upgrade/downgrade/root/upgrade process that eventually worked on the 4th try <g>, on the off chance that this would somehow fix the issue... but no.

So I'm desperate... looking for help. I've got this $600 phone, a $600 head unit that does nothing without great tools like ARU, and I can't get it to work.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks.

JD

One more trick that sometimes helps is to install the Pandora app and run it once. This somehow fixes the bluetooth connection.

But thank you. If you can think of anything else...

JD

PS, while I was fooling around with it in the car just now I did notice that something has changed though. The A2DP profile will connect, so long as the HDMI cable is NOT plugged in. As soon as I plug that in, it disconnects. Also, if I start up BT after the HDMI is plugged in, the A2DP profile will try to connect but immediately bail. ie, I can see the check box for that profile light up on the phone, but within about a second it turns off again. I can also reproduce this by manually starting that profile.

There's something screwy going on here but I can't figure out what it is. I wonder if there's a bug, either in the app or the BT code in the phone's ROM?
[Android General] codee:
I am having the exact same issue as you although it took me around 4 hours to figure out what was going on until I read your post. The only difference is that I'm using a netgear push2TV adapter instead of the HDMI/MHL cable directly since my Samsung would require an additional adapter.

During initial setup, I granted ARUnchained access, it flashed a message about 2 different things being granted/approved and then it went through the initial app setup. It gets to the point where it does the screen cailbration, and I am able to get through that successfully and then I get the red X+finger on the display. I can see and hear the phone on the HU and speakers but the control doesn't work at all. Pandora also won't work properly now (It was working on the official pioneer app before I uninstalled it) I too noticed that my media profile won't stay connected and only the phone profile no matter what I do. I do have a jump24 fitness band and Galaxy Gear 2 watch so I disabled them thinking perhaps they were interfering but that didn't help at all.

Things I've done to troubleshoot -

-Remove ARUnchained and re-installed

-Cleared data/cache for ARU

-Removed ARU permissions in SU, removed ARU again, and then re-installed and re-approved the SU requests.

-Disabled my Jawbone Up24 + Galaxy Gear 2 Watch

-Deleted bluetooth connection and tried repairing both initiating a new setup both from the device and the phone itself.

As soon as I unplug the HDMI or power to the Wireless display box I can connect my phone using the A2DP profile.

My setup -

-App radio 3

-ARU V 2.4.16

-Samsung Galaxy s5 (T-Mobile - SM-G900T)

-Android 4.4.2 (rooted)

If there's anything I can do to help information wise or trying things please let me know, I'm really excited to get this working as it is vastly superior to Pioneers vision for the system.

Thanks for the help, I greatly appreciate it!!

I attempted this on my s5 (SM-G900T T-Mobile Version) but during flashing it gives me a couple errors. It keeps going and will say completed but when I check the device status it still shows my old/original kernel...bummer, I was excited to get this working! Thanks for the tip though!
