Yeah the sp1002 is hard to find and very expensive when found don't really want to risk it. I have the sp1003. That's the one I'm having issues with. I bought a hdmi cable with ferrite cores. I'm changing it tomorrow to see if that does it. I'll keep you guys posted. Thanks for the help

Yes, as system app it should be able to switch mock locations on/off. That being said, it was not tested with every rom / kernel available on the planet. If you could make logcat (see FAQ) and make it available to me, it may give me some clues. Thanks.

There's also a test you could do. Download an app called FakeGPS (enables to set a fake GPS location) and make that a system app too. That app also can switch mock locations on/off. If that one works then I made a mistake somewhere. If it doesn't work either it's probably some rom related issue.
[Android General] Area51©:
Indeed, navigation bar issue is the issue that I will start working on tonight. Intend to fix tablet UI issues as well.
[Android General] grippa:
Interresting...I thought it was just me.

When I was on 4.3, the GPS Injector had no issues with enabling/disabling mock locations. But when I upgraded to 4.4, that stopped working. I had to manually enable mock locations.

Under both ROMs I had the GPS injector as a system app. I'm using a HTC One GPE with rooted stock ROM.

I did a bit of research on the the Fake GPS App you mentioned. In the app description it reads:

this might help - i havnt tested it yet.

*UPDATE*

It works!! When i move the GPS injector to /system/priv-app/ (instead of /system/app/), its able to enable/disable mock locations on KitKat 4.4
[Android General] Area51©:
Good. Thanks for helping to solve this problem.
[Android General] lpasq:
Interesting ...I have had ARUGPS in /system/priv-app/ since market release. I confirm Fake GPS test works on N5 4.4 stock ROM
[Android General] grippa:
Anytime, thanks for making a great app!

btw, just a suggestion: do you think its a good idea to add the functionality in to the app itself to allow users to make it a system app? As in, possibly add a button or something called "make this a system app" ?.

But then again, I dont know much about play store rules about having shell commands.
[Android General] Area51©:
Well, there's still so many things to do and I don't consider this something that's really core business of this app. There's also many other ways to make it a system app so for now I won't do it. Core business is that once it's a system app it can enable/disable mock locations and that's working. Btw, it's not something that you get for free but once I saw other apps could do that I had to research and implement it too.
[Android General] grippa:
thats unfortunate. it fixed mine though...what do your logs say?

Question for the Guru!

Hi oh guru Area51 :)

Cheers for all your input and time over a couple of fab apps!!

But, can you just tell me, although I am probably being stoooopid, but why would this not be a system app, where it can enable/disable mock locations. Surely you need Mock locations on for Gps Injector to function, or am I being thick, lol. Just trying to figure out why some have it as an app, and others don't. How can it work without being an app?

I had the same issue as a couple of others where it would not switch on/off mock locations until I made it an app. I think it is now working, but it's too cold & dark to go outside to try it, so it will be tomorrow before I do a full test, but now when I start the service it enables mock locations & when I stop it it now disables it so it is looking promising.

My HTC One, with root & Revolution custom rom would not work until I switch mock locations on.

Cheers, yours thickily, Shane :)
[Android General] Area51©:
Uhm, no it's not the same bar but it's a similar issue. Though a bit more complicated. I will try to solve that too.
[Android General] Area51©:
It's always an app. When you get it from google play it's a normal app. Normal apps don't have the right to switch mock locations on/off. So in order to use it you have to go to the developer options and manually switch mock locations on. After that the app will be able to inject mock locations. When you want to use your phone GPS you have to switch mock locations off manually again.

As an extra feature auto mock locations on/off is added. However that can only work when the app is a system app. So that's why you have to make it a system app for that feature to work.

Yes then it should work.

What android version is that?
[Android General] sparkz:
Aha,

That makes more sense. I was wondering why it did what it did. Cheers for the answer.

The Revolution Rom is - Android 4.3 Jelly Bean with HTC Sense 5.5 - way better than stock :)

Cheers again mister, Shane

i am saying that ARUGPS works fine for me and it had been set as a system/app-priv already ...i placed the injector in the app-priv folder when the market version was released because that is my habit for where i move market apps that load to data

Xperia Z1

Hello all;

first of all im new to forum (and actually nes to android:D ); i try to search the thread but unfortunately it does not give me any results. I have an app radio enabled avh-x8550bt, and im thinking about buying a android phone to use with it (with App Radio Unchained) .

Im thinking about buying xperia z1 but im afraid it cannot connect to it. (ARLiberator app info says there are problems with xperia phones). I try to look to survey results but there are only samsung phones. :/ So Is there anyone used an xperia z1 (or xperia z) with ARU and is it working or is it problemetic? Because if its not working right with ARU im also thinking about note 3 and HTC one.

Ty for all and im sorry if im repating something as i said i try to use search the thread function but it did not worked.

any appradio that have appmode and is fully supported by pioneer official appradio app will work just fine with ARU.

u can check specifically on pioneer appradioknows site to see if ur phone is supported by the official appradio app, if it does then ARU will work on it as well.

ARL uses a completely different way to gain access to the appradio devices... ARU uses reverse engineering of the original app.

i can connect it via bluetooth without probelms. i can also use the phone calls via the HU.

no its not set to others? where can i find it? i tried to go to settings and bluetooth but im not able to open it.

no there is no one around with an appradio. i just tried another s4 with the same software(MH9) .(not rooted and not working) and one s3 which connects excellent to the origial appradio app.

yep i tested it on my tv and its working. i can dublicate the screen on the HU too. my problem is just the BT connection and the touchscreen

Unlicensed error under Status?

Hi guys,

Tried my GPS Injector today after making it a system app. The app now opens automatically, switches mock locations on and receives data.

The problem I have is it does not inject this data into either Sygic or Google Maps/Nav. The other weird bit is under status it says unlicensed even though it is receiving data, locations, speed etc?

Has anyone come across this before.

Cheers, Shane
[Android General] hoopty3:
Disconnect Bluetooth, set source on HU to off, then change to 'others' in settings.
[Android General] Area51©:
That means that your google license check failed, like you have an illegal copy. It will then still do everything, except injecting GPS data as mock locations. I guess this is because of the way how you made it a system app assuming that you don't have an illegal copy and it's still on the same phone
[Android General] sparkz:
Hi fella,

OK, I could see how that may be on my ahem, trial version of sygic,(albeit pretty old now, lol) ;), just not sure why it was doing the same on Google Maps, unless it was because I tried Sygic first and it then locked it out?

I'll try running google maps first off tomorrow then. TBH, I only use Waze but it would be nice to have a backup.

Cheers, Shane
[Android General] Area51©:
No, I mean the license check of the GPS Injector failed. I don't care about other licenses;)

Hi

Don't understand question and answer, both my Samsung S4 and my HDMI stick always opens direct on the android screen, normally there can go days where I am not opening ARU launcher!!

Basmand

Sorry my bad English
[Android General] lpasq:
i can verify and duplicate that it is possible to always open direct to android home screen. i do it all the time with my hardwired slimport configuration, n5, kitkat, ar3. when aru is running as a backgroud process, if i first and only toggle bt direct, connect phone to slimport, turn on car's ignition, then i am right to my phones homescreen on the hu...works fine.

i prefer to connect via a tasker profile that does go through aru first though. that is because tasker settings i have allow me 100% bug free connection, mirroring, and bt audio transmission without ever needing to unplugging and replugging device...or restarting apps...or restarting device when starting and restarting car and not having turned off aru.
[Android General] sparkz:
Aaah,

That's good to know, don't want you sending the feds after me, lol

In that case, nope, same phone, same rom as yesterday when I installed it. Only difference is I made it a system app as we spoke about, due to wanting it to be automatic.

Any ideas then young man on how to sort it

Hey guys, love this app so far. I am so glad I found it! The only issue I have noticed so far is that it forces the homescreen into landscape mode which squeezes all my apps together. Is there a way to fix this? If not, no biggie cause this app rocks! Also, should I install the gps injector? I am not completely sure what it does lol
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
While in app mode click menu button on the phone it will being a hidden menu for aru where I can disable auto rotation. Also try a different launcher like nova to set a different grid while in landscape so u can see all ur icons better. Aru GPS injection app is to allow u to use the car GPS while navigating rather then the phone built in GPS (which can be even turned off)

Good news
[Android General] danielsoar:
I have noticed something with my N5 and slimport adaptor re: snow.

I am a contractor and have been doing a job for the last couple of months that is almost 2 hours from home.

I always used to get the snow issue start playing up about half way through my trip. I started wondering if it was heat issue or what but it would settle and go away

I eventually realised that I was passing a lighting shop in peak hour traffic and for about a block before AND after the bloody thing would play up

They have ceiling fans mounted vertically on a wall facing the window facing the street (displaying them all spinning slowly) I am wondering if what I am experiencing as snow is electromagnetic interference. It is repeatable, I am not sure it is the lighting shop, it could just as easily be underground or a substation that I cant see or something. There might even be a radio repeater or a mobile cell tower station for LTE somewhere causing issues.

All I know is that it is geographical. This makes me wonder if these units are all fairly susceptible to noise and if incorrect installations in your own car could be contributing to the problem.

Use this information however you will, just thought I would share it.

[Android General] leobg:
It is not LTE tower. Weak GSM signal and particularly EDGE/GPRS data transmission (2G) in weak coverage area interferes with the slimport/mhl adapter. The short cable doesn't help at all as phone anthenna is inch away from the adapter. I'm sure problem will be less severe if adapter is at least 2 ft away from the phone and well shielded.

---------- Post added at 10:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 PM ----------

I'm yet to find SlimPort adapter with longer connection cable, but before when I had the galaxy nexus with MHL, I was using a cable which the adapter was in the other end of a 6 ft cable, plugged in directly to the back of the head unit far away from the phone and never had experienced the snow effect.

[Android General] stargate125645:
Mase, you have suggested to others to upgrade firmware to get rid of the GPS request but that is not always an option, especially on Samsung phones and HTC phones. The Maps version is separate and asks for phone GPS regardless of actual version so upgrading that won't help, at least on Samsung. Have you found which android version doesn't ask for it?

You have to be connected to the radio for the option to appear in the menu.
[Android General] mikek753:
No, I can't answer about Z1

But, this what I'll do:

1. find a friend with Z1 and try it with your x8500bhs

2. ride to cell provider store and ask to try Z1 in your car, make sure to have HDMI and USB cables avail for Z1 - I don't know what MHL is needed for HDMI, ask sales to come with you and Z1

you don't need ARU for the test, while it would work the best, but Pioneer Appradio to test BT and HDMI will be enough

If Appradio works than ARU will work for sure :good:

try it before you buy it !!!

Arunchanged gps injector not compatible with my device

[Android General] Area51©:
I am not 100% sure it still works but you might try installing it on your phone, assuming it's rooted too, you can grab the apk from there. Then install the apk on your stick. For this to work you need to use the same google account on both devices. If the status of GPS Injector is unlicensed on your stick then it failed.

I used this procedure once to install ARL on my HDMI stick and it worked.

This thread has become so big so I can't really find an answer to my problem...

Whenever I restart my phone...aru failes to connect at 75%.

I have to clear app data/cache, phone cache/dalvik cache and the re-pair Bluetooth (after a clean reboot) to get it working again. I'm on stock rooted 4.4 on HTC one GPE.

[Android General] m.a.s.e:
looking at the specs for the device http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/DVD-Receivers/AVH-X2600BT it does support appmode.

so given it does support the pioneer original app with nav support it should also support ARU without a problem.

when using pioneer official app not ARU, are u able to connect?

also have u made sure that under settings u are set as "connection = other" in ur head unit?
[Android General] Area51©:
Better be careful. I looked at the specs too and it seems it supports App Mode only for Apple and not Android.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Oh man u are absolutely right. Re checked, how the hell Did ib miss that... Thanks area
[Android General] Area51©:
Sounds like an easier solution.

I have no idea why the GPS Injector is judged not suitable for a HDMI stick by Google play. I didn't exclude any device and even made some screen dumps for tablets trying to avoid this problem. The only reason I can think of it that it doesn't have a GPS receiver and because of the necessary permissions Google play assumes GPS must be present.

Pandora on Appradio 3 shuts down my N5

Hey guys, I am new to this thread and I have a really weird problem.

Everything works fine with ARU on Appradio 3 and my Nexus 5. However, when I try Pandora from Appradio 3, it connects, starts, but after 5 or so seconds, my phone shuts off and restarts. It gets stuck at the Google logo until I long press the power button and wait about 10 seconds before I power it up. It happens only when trying Pandora on Appradio 3. If I try the app within ARU it works fine. I just don't know what is causing this.

Any suggestions?

That should work. Maybe it helps to clear the data. To do that do a long press on the GPS Injector icon and drag it to the App-info icon that will appear. Stop the injector if it's still running and clear the data. Restart Injector and see if it works then.

[Android General] texbuck:
I believe these head units all arrived at the same time. The higher priced HU's like the AVH8550 and the AVIC900 series have "advanced app mode" which looks like it means they have hdmi ports and their own gps built in. They have a few more whistles and bells than the DA210 out of the box, but once aru is connected, most of their advantages are nullified. And they don't have capacitive screens, either.
