Okay Guys, did some more logging of how things are working in hopes your knowledge can get the last piece of my S4 and ARU working which is the phone.

As far as I can tell everything is working well except I can not hear the person i called or who called me through the car. The mircophone is working and people can hear me very well and when i tap on the microphone, they hear that so I know it is picking up from the mic, not just the phone itself.

I notice the following: "MIX OFF" - I hit the google search mic on my home screen (HU) and I hear the google tone through the car speakers

and it starts to listen....I ask it what is the time and it responds with the time heard through the car speakers.

I can tell it to "Call My Wife" and it states through the car speakers, "Calling My Wife" and switches the HU

to the phone screen states dialing but I hear nothing.... the wife can hear me fine.

To play my music on the phone through the HU and Car Speakers, I need "MIX OFF" and PowerAmp works well.

When I push "Bluetooth" nothing seems to play or heard through the HU and car speakers.

When I push "Radio" the Radio plays as it should.

I have Sound About full license in the Foreground and Phone call audio is set to Bluetooth (mono) all other settings are default settings.

I have SELinux Mode in Permissive..

ARU Version 2.4.16

Any ideas guys on what I am missing to get the phone routed through the HU and car speakers? Hope the above provides some assistance.

Thx

Finally got full touch working after the advice from the previous post to re install appradio app..ty everyone for ur help. Just need to find a way to get the s4 to make a positive charge when connected to the pioneer da110.
[Android General] papa3r:
on my X8550bt with ARU, any way to connect there is never an issue at all, it only takes a maximum of 20 seconds in is connected.....

with ARL...hmmm never get auto connet at all.....always using force start BT.....
[Android General] -=Jeff=-:
This kind of sucks, I need to upgrade my phone, I was leaning to a new MAXX or GS4, but if this is an issues witht he GS4 on VZW, then I guess I am stuck with my RAZR MAXX until I get the HDMI Stick to work
[Android General] bodieism:
Indeed. I found out about the double tap feature reading the appradio forums before I got my AR2. Even though I knew about the feature I never stopped to think it could be used to return to the native screen on the AR3. So :good::good: to Kishan_Diepa.

When I had the AR2 I always just let ARL start on boot and I never turned my bluetooth off because it didn't really use much power at all (I also disabled notifications for it so I didn't have to look at it in my status bar). Now that I have the AR3 I do the same as before with ARU, but I've noticed that I can connect my phone at any point after start-up without issue... right after, 2 mintues after, or even 30 minutes after. ARL would sometimes give me problems with that. I can even connect the cord before start-up, but then my phone won't charge :confused: Don't know what that's about, but it's easily avoidable.

RAZR maxx HD, 4.1.2, 9.18.79 xt926, I don't have a lot of apps, but wow, seems to run more stable than the original. Screen calibration ran fine, apps like media player, YouTube, browsers, Wase, all see to run perfect. Using the android interface seems much more intuitive than the pioneer approve app interface. Had those issues with the keyboard, followed your instructions and seems fine now. So far, no Complication or crashes. Donation will come soon!

In the OP now updated survey results are available for download.
[Android General] nfaust01:
I have a note 2 and here are my steps for a 99% connection rate.

Tasked profile setup to receive HDMI connected disconnected intents. Connected intent triggers a task to turn off Bluetooth then start ARU then immediately turn Bluetooth on. Wait 15 secs then do my other stuff.

in order for that stuff to work have your app radio off. Plug the mhl in and The phone shouldn't do anything yet. Then TUrn the app radio on with phone plugged in still. Wait about 10 seconds for android guy to light up and click it. You will get connection progress. Takes about 15 seconds then bam all connected. If it does fail leave everything plugged in and in the app radio tap you phone in the bluethooth settings. It should disconnect and another tap should try to connect again with the same connection progress. It always connected first try in this spot after a failed attempt.

Oh and I have the Bluetooth auto connect setting on in the app radio.
[Android General] Area51©:
Multi-touch is implemented and working.

Too bad there's an annoying bug in the AppRadio or AppRadio app. When you touch two points and release one obviously the one left still should be registered. What happens is that the one that is not released will be registered with incorrect coordinates. This happens depending on which one is released first. In one case it 's wrong in the other case it's right.

I tried this with the original app and it happens there too. Now it could be a bug in the app or even a bug in the radio firmware.

Just tested this. It happens on the AppRadio 3 only. On my AppRadio 2 it works fine. So it's definitely an AppRadio 3 firmware bug.
[Android General] -=Jeff=-:
Man you rock!! when do you think the next version will be avail for testing? Also I found the my Stick is not registering the cursor location on a touch.. but it is tracking the touches.. Any thoughts?

Also when you make a new version for testing could you make a HDMI Stick version, I will try it again..
[Android General] Area51©:
Next weekend I plan to make a new release with lots of stuff added.

Hopefully have some options screen to so it can be just one release.

Tracking but not registering, that seems weird. Seems like your uinput driver is a bit strange. Is this with both the original and the Finless firmware?

I got a report from a guy with another stick (Rikomagic MK802IV) and it's working for him. Only thing is, the menu bar can't be reached.
[Android General] -=Jeff=-:
For sure with Finless, I would have to reload the original and try it, but they both are acting the same, and use the same kernel so...

What stick does he have? Maybe I will just buy another stick as I would really like it to work..
[Android General] Area51©:
I think it's a software issue. I wouldn't just start buying loads of sticks. It's all cheap china stuf anyway.

And also wait till you try the multi-touch first. It's a different protocol and might work beter.
[Android General] -=Jeff=-:
So is there anything you need from me or have me do to help determine the issue?

---------- Post added at 07:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 AM ----------

Oh yeah do you know what version of firmware he is using in his App Radio? I am on 8.17 on my App Radio 2, I did not install the latest version 8.30
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Hi Area51.

i have a new issue...

ARU was working fine with SG4 with 4.2.2 AOKP Rom with LT kernel on AR3...

this weekend i have upgraded the same ROM to their new version 4.3

ever since ARU is not working good.

it does connect and does register touched but it slow down the device so bad.... i click or swype and the comand register only after 5-10 seconds....

even if i disconnect the device from the head unit the phone it self become extremely slow. the only thing i can do to fix the issue is reboot.

there is enough free space in the phone 2GB storage for programs, i tried to clear the memory but still the phone become so slow only a reboot fix that.

and again, it happens only when i open ARU and the phone connects.

any idea? maybe its a 4.3 issue ?

thoughts? (ARU 11)
[Android General] Area51©:
I have that same issue when I use my MK908 HDMI stick. Somehow the bluetooth connection is extremely slow. That is related to the kernel. It's not an ARU issue.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Hmmm.... Interesting...

i am with KT Kernel and Not the ROM kernel it self....

but when i was with 4.2.2 i had the same Kernel i am using now....

did u change some settings in ur kernel?

maybe i can try to change settings for the kernel and try again...

strange... with 4.2.2 on same kernel same settings it worked....

hmmm
[Android General] Area51©:
Well I don't know exactly in what part the bluetooth drivers are, the kernel or the ROM. Only thing I know is that something messes up the bluetooth speed and then ARU won't work well. The touch screen generates a lot of data.
[Android General] papa3r:
with all due respect, I am willing to test prereleas multi touch on my X8550BT so it will soon be in the know there is a bug or not in the model:p
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Thanks for the input...

ill try to re-flash the kernel and see if i can change the MHZ on the BT . ill post progress as soon as i am able to get to my car....

gota solve this. Finally upgraded to 4.3 , i really need this to work :)
[Android General] Area51©:
So what happens if you just connect a "dumb" phone that has Bluetooth? Can you hear the other person then? Bluetooth HFP or HSP should work with any phone that has Bluetooth. Also if you use your S4 with a Bluetooth headset, does it work then?

Progress on AppRadio Unchained Reloaded

Good news. I have a protoype that works with the AR3. Made some good progress with decoding and implementing the Bluetooth communication messages. Everything is working: GPS, Touch, HU keys and SWCs. There's still a lot to do. I think it will be a few weeks until there will be an alpha version in the Play store available.
[Android General] mdelleman:

Does the bluetooth work on the phone if it's only connected via bluetooth and not via mhl?
[Android General] evillela2001:
Here's my donation. Can't wait to test the new app.

Confirmation #4B332012F62469634
[Android General] Area51©:
Yes, that will be included in the first Alpha version as well. I started with AR3 because the developer of ARL never could get that to work. So I had to see whether it was possible to hack it and yes it was. After that AR2 is a piece of cake. I have an AR2 and an AR3.

I don't plan to buy every HU available that supports AppRadio mode so in order to get the others working I will make something available that makes it possible to log the Bluetooth communication when using ARU. I will then ask people with other HU types to make a Bluetooth communication log. This should allow me to implement the protocol for every HU that supports AppRadio mode.

Sorry if it's been addressed. . But will their still be problems with Samsung phones (note 3)running kit kat ? .. or will it still have to be no Knox or set to permissive? Thnx for the dedication. .. waiting for payday
[Android General] ikerg:
The new app will clone the original Pioneer app connection mode. If kit kat+Knox is allowed in the current pioneer appradio mode...it will.

If not, pioneer should update their app first in order Area51 could reverse engineering again the appradio mode

[Android General] Area51©:
Thanks, for now I will stay here.

Will do.
[Android General] Area51©:
That's not quite right. The Pioneer app does not inject events on system level so it won't have any problems with Knox. Reloaded will inject events the same way as ARU so if ARU works Reloaded will too.

Will Reloaded work with LG G2?

Hey Area51!

I just wanted to say thanks for your fantastic work. ARU is running flawlessly with my AR3 and M8 combination. I went ahead and made a donation this morning and I'm looking forward to Reloaded...even though I don't know what more it could possibly do for me.

Thanks again!

Have they been using AppRadio 2 or 3? I tried to connect with ARU with Verizon LG G2 with no luck with AppRadio3. Any suggestions...or wait for ARU-R?

Thanks for everything you are doing. I will donate.
[Android General] Area51©:
Looks interesting. It seems you need to hack it a bit as they don't allow touch while driving but that can probably be fixed with a handbrake bypass.

There are not that many phones supported yet. Samsung Note3 doesn't seem to work as it shows from the app reviews.
[Android General] Area51©:
AR2 or AR3 should both work. What is exactly not working?
[Android General] dredq:
I cannot get the phone to connect to the AppRadio.

I have a Verizon LG G2 4.4.2 recently rooted with no modifications. I am very new to this.... and have some what limited computer experience but I am more than willing to learn.

I am using Pioneer cords. I have tried using the OEM LG cord as well.

I have toggled the Bluetooth which connects w/o difficulty. Phone is recognized correctly. I just cannot get the Mirror-link to work.

Any suggestions?

Thank you
[Android General] Area51©:
I hope you have a Slimport Adapter connected to the HDMI input of your AR3 because that is what you need. If you have that make sure you have set the HU Bluetooth connection set to Others instead of the default Iphone setting.
[Android General] Area51©:
Just decompiled their app. Quite interesting as well, it seems they use an Accessibility Service to inject events without the need for root access. Will look into that in more detail.

Pretty impressed with Kenwood, they just give what the customer wants, full mirroring. Not that very limited app support that Pioneer offers. On the other hand, none of the HUs seems to have a built in GPS receiver like the AR2 and AR3.
[Android General] Suicidal Chicken:
Hi guys,

Firstly - Great work mate; It's the only reason I got the Radio ;)

I seem to be having an occurring problem; the only problem.

I own a Galaxy Nexus 5, stock rom with franco kernel (rooted.) I'm running 4.2.2.

My phone connects straight away with bluetooth and HDMI; however I only receive audio through the phone. If I disconnect the Slimport, I get audio (from bluetooth.)

Both of the profiles are checked and appradio unchained connects successfully. If I restart my device, it works; but only for a short period of time.

I'm pretty swamped as to what's causing this.

Any ideas guys?

Cheers.
[Android General] shaxs:
After a few weeks, here are are my observations about using my main phone vs an android stick.

Phone LG G2

Pros:

- Very consistent in connecting via bluetooth and getting ARU connected.

- All media and Apps are consistent across the in-car experience, home, and work since it is the same device.

- Built in internet connection

- Can use Google Now voice commands

- Instant On (sort of, as long as phone is on the connection is quick)

Cons:

- Phone loses about 10% battery every 30 minutes even with screen off, GPS injector, and other things to mitigate. Mostly because through the slimport adapter, I only get slow charging.

- Phone gets super hot and I get overheat warnings keeping it in the center console. Thats a bummer.

Android Stick - Tronsmart CX919

Pros:

- Dedicated device that is available for anyone who drives the car.

- Doesn't overheat.

- Don't need to worry about draining battery on a device I use all day (phone).

- Can power directly from car power to be on all the time

Cons:

- Inconsistent bluetooth connection. I would say it works about 80% of the time. The other the head unit just says connection failed. Have to reboot.

- No dedicated internet connection. I use Tasker to turn on wifi hotspot on the phone and connect that way. Internet isnt great at times. Wifi drops sometimes and picks up right away.

- Have to sync content across multiple devices. Only a major issue with mp3 audio books. I found Listen Audiobook Player https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.acmeandroid.listen which will sync locations via Dropbox. Pretty awesome.

- DPI on a tv android stick is much higher than a phone making text and buttons hard to read and use. Using Xposed an ad module called App Settings, I have manually set DPI settings for all the apps I use in the car. Seems to work well.

- Takes about 2 minutes to boot (if off) and connect via ARU.

So there we have it. Phone offers the better, more consistent experience but the overheating and battery drain are problematic. If I had consistent connection via bluetooth and internet for the stick I think the extra steps would be worth it.
[Android General] Area51©:
What Slimport adapter are you using?
[Android General] Suicidal Chicken:
I'm using an official Analogix adapter. I ordered it from Amazon.

Cheers.
[Android General] Area51©:
That's a good one. Cheap one might cause trouble but not this one.

Could it be some app causing this? I know there are apps that don't do proper audio routing but mostly that will just cause the audio of that app going to the speaker instead of HDMI.
[Android General] Suicidal Chicken:
I initially brought a cheap nasty one; soon learnt my lesson.

The only app I use, is Google music.

I'm using ART - I don't know if that'll cause an issue? I've tried doing the usual, clear cache etc but to no avail.
[Android General] Area51©:
Not likely I would say but I don't know for sure.
[Android General] cheesebox:
You can solve the battery issue with the LG G2 by using Dorimanx Kernel. There is an option to force fast charge by tricking the phone into thinking it is connected to AC. My LG G2 now always charges positively, and fairly quickly too. I know you can also control the temperature of the phone with Dorimanx Kernel, so you could probably solve both issues. My phone does get hot, but I never get any warnings and I am pretty sure that there are options to limit the heat if need be.
[Android General] nycqns983:
Hey area51 thanks again for all of your efforts!

Will your new version fix the bluetooth connection time issue? I have a HTC Droid DNA with Verizon and, while the app will eventually connect, it takes forever.

Thanks man!
[Android General] shaxs:
I am already running Dorimanx 4.8.1. Where do I set this option?
[Android General] TEK112:
Usually with kernels you have to enter terminal commands to change the flag for fast charge or the developer has a utility you can download that allows you to check of boxes and then it runs the commands for you. Also universal utilities out there if you cannot find one that will enable fast charge if the kernel is capable of it.
[Android General] cheesebox:
I am using 3.7 still on Jelly Bean. For my version I use the STweaks app under the "Tweaks" tab. Not sure about Kit Kat though.
[Android General] shaxs:
Yeah found the app called STweaks. I enabled force fast charge and for ac charger hack. We will see if that works. Still not sure what to do about the heat issue.
[Android General] Kaczman:
Help me out here guys

Help me out here guys, I was using this with my S4 and Appradio2 and it was working AWESOME, 100% flawless. I bought an S5, rooted it, gave SuperSU permission to ar unchained, and went through the process. It connects, I got the stupid dots on the radio, touched them, and it says AR Unchained is connected, and so is bluetooth for phone audio.

But none of the touch commands work on the screen. none of the radio buttons work, and not a single touch command is transfered from radio to phone. What am I doing wrong?

I even deleteing the pairings, and repaired them 5 times, from radio, and from phone. I removed all data and cache from AR Unchained and went through this 2-3 times.

What am I missing?

Update:

I tried both possible fixes. I tried terminal emulator and followed instructions to a T. Nothing.

I tried possible fix 2: I installed xposed and wanam, disabled knox notifications and SEandroid. Reset. made sure the module was active. Nothing.

Any other work around or solutions?
