He will need SELinux permissive in order to get an S5 to successfully mirror. AEL Kernel is AFAIK the only kernel for the S5 that had permissive SEL. However, the thread has been closed and dev nowhere to be found. You would probably need to find a ROM from around that last update (or tested) to make sure it is fully compatible. I imagine there have been updates in the past month or two which may render the kernel not so stable with newer ROMs.

I'm wondering if anyone from the S5 community or elsewhere could take a look at the AEL kernel and figure out the method by which that OP was able to get SEL permissive. However, it seems our ARU community is one of the few actually needing to have it permissive :/ If someone else is able to get SEL permissive, I would possibly consider an S5 next so that I can continue using my MHL 2 adapter ;) Else, I suppose I may go with a Nexus device and sell my MHL adapter

Media audio has nothing to do with touch. If I had to hazard a guess, you don't need a media BT connection if you are connected through HDMI, so they don't work at the same time.

Help Please?

Hey guys,

Anyone reading this use a nexus 5 successfully with the radio?

does anyone have a link to some step by step instructions on how to get it working right?

I've been looking through this thread for weeks now trying to find something comprehensive and so far I'm coming up short.

I appreciate the info in here but it's a bit scattered. Most videos I find just show me the finished product but never the step by step.

Currently I've got an AppRadio 3 installed into my 2011 Nissan Rogue.

I've also installed the handydandy break bypass installed.

My phone of choice is a Nexus 5 and I"m using a USB powered slimport to connect the phone.

Since the first time I've loaded it up till today: the Radio sees my phone through bluetooth and when I try to load the mirroring it always says it's doesn't see the phone but when I hit ignore Im able to see my mirrored phone on the screen. Problem is: the touchscreen doesn't work at all. You touch the screen and it gives you the hand with the red X at the corner.

Im asking for more complete instructions because I've read a bunch of people who say their Nexus 5s work perfectly with it. Also read a bunch of folks that can't even get it mirrored. Installed the latest ARU beta and the one before it. No changes.

Can't seem to find anywhere with a instructions letting me know if there's something I can do to fix this or is that just how Nexus 5s work with the AppRadio 3...

Please help me if you can, love this radio but I'm not having any luck getting the touchscreen going and without it this is a total dealbreaker.

Odd sidenote: Even with the bypass successfully installed ( I know it works cause I was able to watch stuff while handbreak was not engaged) Still there's alot of options greyed out on the Radio. I thought I would try a system reset and retry the process but I can't click OK on the confirmation screen. Only cancel is an option.

Really hopes something can assist me with this... Troubleshooting this so far has left me really disappointed.
[Android General] Area51©:
That is right. There are 3 Bluetooth profiles used: HFP, A2DP and SPP. HFP (Hands-Free Protocol) is used for hands free calls with your phone. A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) is used for BT audio streaming (shown as media connection in Android). SPP (Serial Port Profile) is used for data communication in AppRadio mode to transfer touch, key and GPS data. This is the connection that is being made when you hit the Apps icon. It's also the most difficult one to get connected.

Lots of people are confused about the SPP connection, they assume that when they have HFP (and optionally A2DP) connection "Bluetooth is already connected" so they can ignore the SPP connection that has to be made for AppRadio mode to work.

Indeed A2DP is only used for audio streaming (when not in AppRadio mode) and not used for transfering audio in AppRadio mode as this is done via HDMI.
[Android General] kcasante:
Ok So If the SSP profile is the hardest to get connected, how is it done?

Is there a specific method to it? Or is it related to the phone you use?

That's probably why my nexus 5 doesn't get me the touchscreen functionality. Is it just the phone not capable of that profile or Is there a connection method am I missing?
[Android General] Area51©:
In general it seems the one that is less tested and has incompatibility issues between the HU and various Android versions. Even phones that connected fine with one Android version can have problems connecting with a newer Android version.

In your case you don't have to worry about that as the Nexus 5 is known to connect fine and touch works provided you rooted your phone. There's not that much info in this thread about connecting as it's completely the same as with the official (non-modded) Pioneer app. This app is described in the user manual.

Anyway, (an attempt to make) the BT SPP connection is made when you hit the Apps icon and after that don't hit ignore.

When the HU gives you the finger, it means there's no BT connection made is SPP mode. Most common cause for this is that you have to set the Bluetooth connection type in the HU settings to "Others" instead of the default "Iphone", but didn't do this. The second issue you may face then is that you can't seem to change the settings. The settings can only be changed when there's no BT connection to the HU and also no HDMI input detected. So disconnect your phone and switch of BT on it. I think on the HU it may be that you also have to not have any source selected.
[Android General] kcasante:
DUDE!

I hope you know I mean it when I say YOU'RE THE MAN!!!! I've been banging my head against the wall for weeks trying to get this working. A bit of instruction from you and I'm now in my garage at 3:32am doing the happy dance!!!! Thank you!!!!!! Disconnected everything and it allowed me to change to other. After that everything just worked!!!!! Where's your donate button I need to buy you some beer!!!

Update! That last donation was from me. Keep up the good work!
[Android General] stargate125645:
If only you had read the instruction manual. :P

A lot of people on here have had the same problem because they didn't put the head unit in the correct mode.
[Android General] jmetcalfe84:
I have an SG5 and recent switched over to a new stock rom that gets rid of Knox and all of that so I assumed it would solve all my problems with getting it hooked up with my Appradio 2 again like my previous SG3. I could get the screen to appear previously but it wouldn't automatically go into widescreen mode and anytime I hit the screen it would give me the "X". Now with the new rom on the first time I connected it everything looked like it was working it even gave me the pioneer screen with the touchscreen setup dots but as soon as I touched on the screen went blank and I kept touching the screen until it booted up to the main screen. At this point the touch wasn't working anymore but it did remain in widescreen mode and I'm able to use my phone to do things but still no touch. Anyone know if there is a fix? Also I noticed the screens were cut off compared to my SG3 but I can live with this if touch worked.
[Android General] evillela2001:
OK so I have the nexus 5 fully working with my ar3.I will help out as best I can.

1. Phone has to be rooted

2. App Radio hdmi connection needs to be set to OTHERS

3. Install ARU only. (original app needs to be uninstalled)

4. Open ARU. Be sure to allow superuser access)

5. Turn on bluetooth on the phone

6. Turn on the radio.

7. Connect the phone to the mhl adapter

If everything worked, you should get red circle in your notification area. Hopefully I didn't miss anything. Good luck.
[Android General] Meriem:
I may say this thing: every time we want to BT connect a new device, BT connection must be requested by HU and it is estableshed by HU in pairing and ID connectiing toward the phone (which passively must confirm HU BT request).

When the connection is correctly established we may see on Hu screen three enlighted icons: phone (HFP Handa -Free Profile), audio (A2D Audio to Digital Profile) and data (SPP Single Port Profile).

All the following connections can de done straight from phone enabling BT (this happens because the right parameters are already stored in HU memory).

Anyway, SPP connection is not done via Apps button.

It is done during normal BT pairing/connection (and also it activates AppRadio service on the phone if Official Appraio app or unofficial ARunchained app is installed).
[Android General] Meriem:
4. Open ARU. Be sure to allow superuser access)

It is not necessary.

ARU (or official Pioneer AppRadio app as well) is needed to install in the phone the AppRadio service.

AppRadioservice is needed to make HU and phone connection and the ARU one enables HU touches for all phone apps beside full phone mirroring.

AppRadio Service is activated averytime BT SPP connection is established.

ARU (or official Pioneer AppRadio app as well) is automatically launched the very first time BT connection is made and then calibration screen starts.

All the further connections can be done from phone (because phne ID BT connection is stored in HU memory).
[Android General] Mati24:
Someone know what is the best S4 i9505 ROM to do work ARU ? Thank you
[Android General] stargate125645:
Step 4 is necessary the first time only.
[Android General] AliMusa:
Does anyone have any issues with rotation locker randomly stopping? For the past few days in the middle of me driving, the phone keeps going back to portrait mode. Could it be because I don't have the persistent option checked off?
[Android General] Area51©:
I think that could only happen if you lose Bluetooth connection. If you touch the HU screen after the rotation locker has stopped, does it start again? Also is the HU giving you the finger?
[Android General] AliMusa:
No, it doesn't start again. No finger either. The phone is still mirrored on the screen so I'm assuming the BT is still connected.
[Android General] Area51©:
As long as you don't touch the HU screen after losing BT connection, you won't notice the connection is lost and the finger isn't shown. So did you touch the HU screen after the rotation locker stopped?
[Android General] fritzum:
Is there a quick way to return to the head unit screen when the phone is connected?
[Android General] AliMusa:
I'm not entirely sure, honestly. I'll give it a try again to see if it happens again.
[Android General] Area51©:
On AR3 press the home button twice quickly after each other.
[Android General] fritzum:
And on AR2? Is it possible to create a Tasker/Llama/... shortcut?
[Android General] Khenti14:
I'm having touch screen issue with SG4 with AVH-X8500 HU. I had everything working with ARU before but i got an update message today with samsung and i updated the phone. I had to re-root my phone again and re-installed ARU. It connects but i have no touch screen on HU.

Does anybody have a fix for this?
[Android General] donroja:
Yeah, never take an ota update... What were you on? What did it update you to? Selinux permissive or enforcing? Knox is almost positively going to be the root of your problems... We need this info to start you in the right direction.
[Android General] Khenti14:
Yeah, I should have known better on updating an ota. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy 4 and updated to XXUFNG1 Android 4.4.2 Kitkat”

The Selinux is in permissive mode. I see Samsung Knox in security settings but the box is not checked.
[Android General] evillela2001:
Right that's why I put that step in there. I usually force close ARU so I have to open it every time but that is not necessary. (I seem to get audio through the phone instead of the head unit if I try to reconnect without restarting the app)
[Android General] wrayvon:
Thanks, I have now sorted my issues - turns out turning bluetooth on and off is the best remedy. It usually connects by the 3rd attempt.

I have one final question for you clever folks. I have jsut downloaded the GPS injection app to go with this, and I see I need to convert this to be a system app or something? Is there an idiots guide to do this or what else do I need to do to use my head units GPS rather than my phone (nexus 5)?

Thanks again!

Are there any other radios that offer full AppRadio mode like the app radio 2 and 3? I need one with physical buttons, or something I can use steering wheel controls with. I bought TWO ASWCSTALK radio stalk controls, and neither work with app radio 2 or 3 (ive bought both and confirmed this.)

GPS sensor broken + new phone

Hi all,

My Galaxy S4 has GPS sensor that no longer works (no received signal), I wonder if it comes from the GPS application injector ...

Who would have had the same problem?

Now I have to change it, I hesitate with S5 or Notes 3.

Who can confirm that ARU working and Screen Standby does not crash the devices.

Which device connects to 100% ???

Thank you in advance for your advice

Steering wheel controls work fine for me with the right adapter. You either have a car which does not work (and most likely won't with any, or just a wrong adapter). No idea what car you have.
[Android General] Kaczman:
I have a 2013 FR-S. There are no steering wheel controls. The axxess is a new stalk you drill into the column, and connects to the SWC on the pioneer radio. Which doesnt work on app radio 2 or 3.
[Android General] stargate125645:
Metra is trash. Are you sure you don't still need a separate control module? If your control module is properly programmed and it still doesn't work, I'd suggest trying PAC.
[Android General] Kaczman:
Nope - if you take a look at this:

http://axxessinterfaces.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=111

It gives you a radio control stalk to drill into your column. Then it goes to a module, and then plugs into the back of the radio. I've tried TWO different units, and TWO different radios (app radio 2 and 3). I dont think PAC makes a steering wheel control unit, or I'd buy it in a second.
[Android General] Area51©:
According to the user manual it should work with Pioneer also. Did you check if it recognised your HU brand correctly? If not, there's a procedure how to set the HU brand manually. If all fails, I guess you can rewire the stalk. I have a schematic diagram of a remote SWC that works with Pioneer. It's nothing more than a few switches and resistors.
[Android General] Kaczman:
It recognizes the pioneer unit. I tried it with auto learn and manual. If you can send the schematic, I can try it. I just dont think it works. Only one button works, and its like next on radio out of the whole stalk each time.
[Android General] stargate125645:
That interface module is not shown, and is what I'm asking about. It is not clear if any additional module besides the steering column one is needed.
[Android General] Kaczman:
Sorry, that picture isnt descriptive of whats actually included. This one is:

I do have the black module, and have tried both of them in 2 different kits and still getting 0 results.

Does the LG G3 work with the pioneer nex 4000

Hey folks thinking of getting the sony xperia z2 or LG G3......but I want to know if the LG G3 works with the app radio mode on the NEX 4000 as I use WAZE regularly to avoid traffic on my way to work.
[Android General] Meriem:
Official Pioneer Appradio app is claimed to work with every unrooted Android phone, possibly from JellyBean 4.2.

Unofficial Arunchained app may work if your phone is rooted.
[Android General] tech by trade:
The Sony has no screwing around with kernals bootloaders knox or any of that samsung garbage. Not sure about the LG. It has a one click root and once its set up properly it works 100% which takes about 1 minute of changing the hu setting to turn of auto connect and setting up screen standby to turn on for HDMI connection and to use zero brightness. There aren't many posts on the Sony because no one has problems with them.
[Android General] Meriem:
8000NEX is a fantastic unit.

Capacitive screen is like no others.

Reactive, colorful, gorgeous.

Powerful CPU and reactiveness.

Only BT connection is sowhewhat fussy.

At the moment I got working with full mirroring my rooted Note2 equipped with DN3 v5.2 rom in AppRadio cabled solution using Samsung genuine MHL adapter.

But my goal is to use AppRadio in Miracast wifi solution and test lags and reactiveness.

Furtherly I will go with MK809III Android stick and perform AppRadio full mirroring thru stick WiFi Connection to my Note2.

It is a bit hard because in my first tests with Tronsmart MK908II and with Rickomagic MK8002IV sticks the touches were not working.

Anyway, NEX8000 is the one to go if you have its budget.

I want to thank Area51, stargate125645 and m.a.s.e. helping me out with their big big patience and kindness.
[Android General] blacsabre:

Anyhow, are there any other devices besides app radio 2 and 3 that we can use ARUnchained on?
[Android General] Area51©:
Well, your stick has 4 switches, so by picking 4 of the commands you want, you can see what resistors you need for those commands and wire those. You wouldn't need the box then. Of course you won't be able to do different things on long presses.

Yes, NEX series also.

Noon help

Hi guys and girls, sorry this is such a newbie question, but I've read though as much of this thread as I can and I'm still no wiser. I'm upgrading from an appradio 1 and iPhone to an lg g3 and need a new appradio and leads. What's the big difference between appradio 2 and 3? Can I get voice commands on appradio 2 with aru and the phone in the glove box? And do I need pioneer cables or just a slimport adapter and the hdmi and micro USB I already have? Thanks for any help.

There's a thread dedicated to sticks and ARU/R, just don't think I can link it on my phone, great place to start and only 5 pages into it!

[Android General] Meriem:
It is not true.

Root only is not enough.

The sticks must have "virtual_touchscreen.ko" module working correctly.

Chinese sticks like the ones with RK3188 chipset have "virtual touchscreen" ruined by manufacturers.

So, they do not recognize touch inputs from BT ARU connection.

So, pay attention !

I am investigating...

I have ARUnchained GPS injector installed as a system app on my LG G2. When I open Google Maps, it still can't find my location. It asks me to turn on location services, if I hit ignore. Doesn't injector send mock locations to Maps or to Facebook? I have mock locations checked in the engineering menu and selected in ARUunchained app. Am I doing something wrong? How can I check if injector is injecting data to other apps besides Waze? (which doesn't need injector)
[Android General] stargate125645:
That's a thing with Maps from my experience. Area51 says you can check using programs like GPS Status, which will show 0/0 satellites when you have mock locations enabled.

Hi

I cannot agree with you, I am on Rikomagic MK802IV and I have never have any problems with touch input, when I am on oem 4.2.2 firmware. Problem sometime comes when on custom firmware, mainly be course of changes in the kernel. Most stable software that I have worked with is from “NEOMODE” but still even NEOMODE can give touch input failure. (4.4.2)

[Android General] Area51©:
On my MK809III touch works fine. On my MK908 it was working also. There were however some rom versions on which it wasn't working because some driver was missing. You should not generalize and say it doesn't work for none of the sticks with a RK3188 chipset because that is not true.

Later I updated my MK908 to 4.4.2 and that was also working.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
i can confirm at 110% MK809III with RK3188 stock ROM 4.2.2 works flawlessly with ARU-R zero issues fully functional. Root was a must.

You guys just rooted and ran with the stock 4.2.2 rom? What benefit, if any, of flashing Finless rom?
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
useless in our case scenario.

all these custom roms are set for better 1080P streaming etc...

since we are using the stick in our AppRadio HU i found it useless to flash new rom.

stayed with the stock ROM, rooted. no issues.

Just a note on my experience with ARUnchained on a Samsung S4. I had limited success with this on the S4 after KitKat upgrade and tried various ROM's to get it to work but kept losing charge on the phone making this unworkable for me. I read many posts on here and bought special USB cables from USA that told the phone it was receiving A/C and not USB charge, still discharged faster than it could charge, bought 2A usb charger hardwired to car, no difference, tried various MHL adapters which when connected to a monitor at home showed A/C charge and charged the phone but did not in the car. I was about to give up and remove the Appradio from the car when I spotted a genuine Samsung MHL adapter from Amazon Uk so thought I would give it one more try. IT WORKS!! It's a fantastic sight to see the charge rate rise instead of falling for a change, so if you have charging issues like me then the answer is a genuine Samsung MHL adapter and not a cheap Chinese one. Now that I have it all set up the way I want i would like to say a great big thank you to Area51 for all your effort in making this all possible, a donation is on it's way :)
[Android General] Area51©:
Thanks for the donation. It was enough to qualify also for access to alpha testing of AppRadio Unchained Reloaded.

Just apply here with your gmail account that is linked to the Play store: AppRadio Unchained Reloaded Community

You then still have to invest 0.50 pounds to get it from the Play store but that gets you also the license for the final version.
