New TV-Box does not work with ARunchained...

Because of overheating in the car, I lost my RK3288 stick, so I buyed a new one.

I decided to buy an Andoer CX998L TV-Box with a RK3288 to be mounted in the cooled glove box.

It´s running with a rooted Android 4.4.2 version.

Because of some Google-Play restrictions I edited the build.prop to a HTC1 device... in case you wonder why the attached system info shows a M7 ;)

Back to topic:

ARUnchained installed fine so far, the diagnostics shows anything without "Installed as system app" marked as okay.

BT connection to my SPH-DA110 is stable and seems to work.

Nevertheless, I can´t get touch functionality.

Catlogs attached...

Any ideas how to get this fast unit to work with my AppRadio???

Hello all,

I hope this isn't a redundant question, but I'm having some trouble. Running an LG G3 w/an AOSP based 5.1.1 ROM. ARU shows connected (via bluetooth), but when I connect my USB (which connects to USB/HDMI via CD-AH200 kit), I get no change on ARU. It just shows the little USB cable and grey arrow. Nor am I able to select 'apps' from the Pioneer screen. I connect the USB first, then start the head unit up (AVIC 8000NEX), bluetooth connects, ARU says connected, then we are at a standstill.

I'd be super appreciative if anyone could help me get past this!

Hi everyone !

i have a question...

First of all, arunchained is a fantastic app for me, and i use it everyday in my car...

here is my question:

i use my iphone for hands free calls (bluetooth), and i have a xperia z1 permanently connected in my glovebox, for arunchained.

when i start the car, iphone connects first.Then, xperia z1, wich is starting with ignition, fails to connect automatically.

I have to touch the screen , to force arunchained to "negociating protocol". Is there a way to connect automatically a second android smartphone when a first one is already connected?

Here's a video to explain my issue.

Thank you , and congrats for this app!!

You are using a regular MHL adapter however the G3 needs a Slimport adapter.
[Android General] Area51©:
Unfortunately that's a limitation that you have to live with. When a device is already connected for HFP the head unit doesn't try to make an automatic connection for AppRadio mode and you have to touch the screen once.
[Android General] AKDMA:
Thanks for taking the time to answer that! I've ordered a Slimport adapter.
[Android General] bk73w:
Also if touch don't go to your Bluetooth connection settings and change it to "others" it'll do that.
[Android General] hks18psigst:
Permissive worked but its not 100%. Tried again after a few hours and only worked after a reboot... And now the next day it's not working at all.
[Android General] philippe565:
i suspected that this limitation came from the appradio3 .Do u know if this limitation still exists on app radio 4 ?
[Android General] dredq:
I have LG G2 verizon (VS980) now running Validus Rom using cast screen with Belkin Miracast Video Adapter. Prior to this I struggled with using various slimport adapters... If they worked when I received them they broke within a few weeks with really gentle care. I had one that lasted a few months. After a while I just gave up and stopped using the ARU-R. I then tried again with the Belkin .... it works every time. It is so easy. Sound is awesome. And everything just works. Have been using it since May. Works much better with AOSP Validus rom. Highly recommend this setup.

Only issue I have, and always have had is that I need to manually connect Media Audio on bluetooth. Phone audio connects every time. Need to toggle media audio. But that is no big deal.

THANK YOU ARU
[Android General] Area51©:
Actually the AR4 is worse. It seems Pioneer dropped support for connecting two devices at the same time.
[Android General] philippe565:
Ok !

So i don't Touch Anything,because everything is working.no battery drain,no lags.

Hello all

I'm using gs5 with arunchained and chromecast on avh x8600bt.

When I try using waze while connected to chromecast waze says no gps . showing aproximate location, if I disconnect chromecast and restart waze works as it should.

I've searched the Internet for hours but can't seem to find anything.

Please help!

Thank you

Got it working...

Seems that I only had to reset my box and reflash.
[Android General] jamies22:
is anyone having problems with this on 5.1.1?

i can only click the home/back/app buttons when the app radio application is open on its main screen otherwise all other touches on the head unit are ignored....

z3compact and supersu etc all permissions seem ok...
[Android General] 400ixl:
If using the free version, have you got SELinux in permissive mode as well?
[Android General] jamies22:
yeah tried permissive move with the selinux changer app and it made no difference....
[Android General] Vol4Ever:
I have exact same "screen press ignored" problem. Like you, the left side menu does work but nothing else. It did take the presses on the little dots for the screen calibration step. I'm on version 0.16 just trying out the old free software before buying. Wonder if this issue would be resolved by biting the $30 bullet? I fully intend to buy anyway. Just wanting to play around first.

Man sorry guys o-please dont hate me... total newb to car-radio-smartphones lol..... I had no idea where to start.. My radio just crapped out a week ago and ive been scouring the web looking at radios and info.. I didnt know these things existed ..now im stuck here... Im looking at and stuck between the 4100-NEX and the appradio 4. Its boils down to screen responsiveness vs glare and now i guess modifications... My question has anyone got this to run on either one?? OP didnt mention these and when I type them in search i get lost... I dont want to spend 500 bucks and get what ive had for the past x years a smart phone with auxiliary in.. Ive watched tons of vids and this looks awesome! Any advice on phone choice or info on the app would be awesome! You can p.m. me if you dont want to clog the board.. thanks in advance and sorry for the stupid questions.

One last question.. Im running a galaxy s4 with a lollipop rom... am i still going to connect?
[Android General] sterod:
Yes the solution is to get back to the screen where you adjust the Android window size. I no longer have the head unit so I can't tell you how to get there. You can probably force it with a head unit reset. The trick to getting it to fit the full screen is to resize the rectangle zoom area around the shrunken portion the screen displays. :then when you hit Ok or preview it will zoom into the section you adjusted the rectangle around and fill the screen edge to edge.
[Android General] dukeentdotcom:
I have to figure out where that screen is on the x850bh...thanks
[Android General] RRSpikes:
Looks like you're SOL.

Pages 136 & 139 of your owners manual states the adjustment is available for the Z150BH & X950BH only.

Is there anything similar to ARUnchained for iOS? Would love to have CarPlay working on my AR3
[Android General] zlovenac:
So, I have Pioneer AVIC-F60DAB and Galaxxy S4 i9505, rooted, stock Lollipop.

And I am total newbie for this. Can I connect these two devices, which cables should I buy, is that only adapter for S4 HDTV or that weird cable with minu USB, USB and HDMI jack, or both, or even something more?

Is there anyone with the same mobile phone as I have and Lollipop? Is Lollipop problem? Which Appradio will work for me?

Thank you for all information, I need a place to start before buying those cables and adapters.
[Android General] AKDMA:
OK! So with the slimport, I now have a functioning mirror. What I don't have is touch via the head unit and the mirror doesn't fill the entire screen. Can that be fixed?
[Android General] 400ixl:
Have you got SELinux in permissive mode, required on the free version of ARU.

And for screen size, have you set up the HU properly as depending which one it is, there is the ability to zoom on some. All in the manual if it has that functionality.
[Android General] zlovenac:
Does anyone have an advice for my problem with setup of s4 & pioneer... What cables/adapters do i need, and can i use lollipop? Thank you once again.

[Android General] kevace1:
Where does one find out if you have SELinux in permissive mode as mention? I have a HTC One M7 ATT version, on a custom rom, Maximus HD 11.0? The about section does not mention anything about SELinux.......
[Android General] KmanK91:
I see that ARUnchained only supports headunits that use HDMI input for AppRadio. The newer 2015 AVH models use 'AppRadio One' via USB input. Anybody know the technical reason why this is not supported and if it possible/will be in the future?
[Android General] 400ixl:
Because it would take a complete re-write of the app (As Pioneer did) and the developer has a day job, things he wants to complete on the current app. And only some use mirrorlink only, there are still 2015 models with HDMI.

There are no plans to support Mirrorlink at the moment from what I understand for the reasons above. Effort and time restrictions.

---------- Post added at 10:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 AM ----------

There are apps in the play store. Alternatively buy the full app to support the dev and you won't need to change SELinux as it has been designed to work with it in enforcing which improves the security of your phone.
[Android General] pen²:
Just a quick check: theoretically, using a Lg G4 h815, rooted, with a slimport adapter and a pioneer sph-da120, I should be able to use mirroring? Are there any known problems or any known "works for me"? Unfortunately I cannot simply test myself, as no shop in the region has that radio...
[Android General] 400ixl:
With SELinux in permissive mode on the free version then yes.
[Android General] zahid33:
Hi,

Tried this today but cannot connect with AVH-X2700BT. I pired with bluetooth still on the notification bar I can see "Ready to Connect" but nothing happens after that. And the usb also dont work, where as the normal AppRadio works with usb. Isn't there any way to connect with usb?

Thank you
[Android General] 400ixl:
Mirrorlink only head units are not supported. It needs to be an HDMI inout for ARU to work. the AVH-X2700BT is not compatible.
[Android General] zlovenac:
There is no way to get USB only HU to work? I have built in HU in my Suzuki Vitara... No HDMI. I know it supports MirrorLink (unfortunately my phone doesn't have it, S4). Can I use ARU instead?
[Android General] 400ixl:
No, as above, Mirrorlink does not work with ARU. More than that, unless it was a Pioneer unit, even if it did work with mirrorlink the touch would still not work as it is Pioneer AppRadio dependent.
[Android General] MrPez:
I've just bought a screenbeam to give this a go. Can I check, is ARU enough for this to work with touch screen or do I need the paid version? I don't want to change SELinux to permissive as I've had trouble with this interfering with other apps in the past.

Cheers
[Android General] Area51©:
Only the paid version works with SELinux in enforcing mode.
[Android General] stewbuntu:
How is the power usage with the screen beam vs using plug and play w cable? Sounds like a great way to go.
[Android General] rayzor666:

Sony Xperia Neo V Event injection problem

Hi,

I'm trying to connect an 2011 Xperia Neo V with ICS 4.0.4 to App Radio 3 SPH-DA110.

I tried two rooting methods and still no effect.

Still I have no checkbox "event injection".

Has anyone any ideas? Please help.

EDIT1: I found that problem is with opening of input device 'Generic'.

In CatLog I found:

09-05 21:23:50.421 D/ARUnchainedInput(3114): Opening input device...

09-05 21:23:50.421 D/ARUnchainedsuInput(3114): Step 2 failed

09-05 21:23:50.421 D/ARUnchainedInput(3114): Cannot open device - 'Generic'

09-05 21:23:50.421 D/ARUnchainedInput(3114): Closing input device...

09-05 21:23:50.421 I/ARUnchainedInput(3114): Nothing to close. (Device has not opened)

09-05 21:23:50.421 D/ARUnchainedReloaded - Diagnostics(3114): Event injection: false

But: ls -l /dev/uinput gives: crw-rw-rw- system bluetooth 10, 223 2015-09-09 22:41 uinput.

EDIT2: ARUR 0.24 trying to execute command:

chcon u:object_r:zero_device:s0 /dev/uinput

and system says

sh: chcon: not found

- means (IMHO) there is no command "chcon" in my ICS 4.0.4 build 4.1.B.0.587.

Is that really not a problem with SElinux and use of its commands?
[Android General] MrPez:
Looks like rooting my phone turned SEL to permissive, not sure why that is.

I still can't connect this up though. I have the screenbeam mini2 connected via HDMI and ARUR installed with root granted. I can't get any connection though, am I missing some step or should everything just connect automatically? If I manually attempt to mirror the screen it says that no devices are found?
[Android General] Area51©:
From another Sony device (ARC S) I remember it had the /dev/uinput device however it can't be opened. It seems this one has the same problem. I don't know how to fix it. It just seems an issue with the /dev/uinput driver that is incorrectly implemented by Sony. That the second command fails doesn't matter since ICS doesn't have SELinux anyway.
[Android General] Marcin08:
Could you please explain the difference between "Step 1 failed" and "Step 2 failed"?

I'm still digging in this topic. Maybe I find something with your advice.

'Step 1 failed' means /dev/uinput can't be opened.

'Step 2 failed' means the first command that is sent to configure the uinput device fails.

I was under the impression the analogix one was the official one. Can you or anyone else recommend or point to the 'official' cable? I purchased the Cable Matters one and its beginning to have problems.

---------- Post added at 06:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 PM ----------

I never got the calibration to work on my G3 so I hit the home button and it worked without completing it.
[Android General] 400ixl:
There is no such thing as an official Slimport adapter, it is just an industry standard. All you can do is find a decent quality one, Analogix is a decent quality provided you will be keeping that short fly lead fairly straight.

The only reason there is an official Samsung MHL one is because Samsung refuse to adhere to the MHL standards and created their own. Hence the Samsung adapter being official.
[Android General] Sokesleezy:
That's a hell of a failure point. Do you know of one that's better?
[Android General] dredq:
I have struggled with the slimports; purchase many different brands and none have been reliable for any period of time. I would say about 30% do not work when you get them. I gave up. I use Belkin. Works everytime. And no wires.

Would never go back to slimports.
[Android General] Sokesleezy:
How is the audio quality? I read some earlier posts where people report lower audio quality.

Thanks, this ended up working for me.
[Android General] Sokesleezy:
Yes, it was.

Was set up difficult at all? I assume you're using a male>female hdmi cable also?
[Android General] dredq:
Setup was really simple. Used a female to female hmdi adapter. Plugged it in. First time you need WiFi connection. Cast with phone. Start arur app. Toggle Bluetooth. Connected. Easy and no wires. I struggled for so long and the biggest obstacle was the slimport not reliably working. It would connect using a TV or maybe not. But the reliability in the car bouncing around was terrible.

Does anyone have this working on a nexus 6 Android 5.1.1 going through a Chromecast? I got everything working except touch on my appradio 3.

my appradio 2 is going bad. all the physical buttons no longer work.

has anyone had an appradio 2 and upgraded to one of the newer models? anyone have a recommendation?

also wondering if appradio 3 and other models use the same wiring harness and if the brake bypass works with these models as well.

the one thing about the appradio 2 that i've hated is the glare on the screen and how easily dust gets behind the screen
[Android General] 400ixl:
AppRadio 3 uses the same harness, but also uses the same screen.
[Android General] mirx1:
I have Note 4 running 5.0.1 with selinux in permissive mode and an AppRadio 2. I'm connecting by running a hot spot on my phone and a chromecast plugged into the hdmi on the back of the AppRadio 2. I'm using ARUnchained Reloaded 0.24.

It works well, but has some quirks that I want to ask about.

The touch screen seems overly sensitive sometimes. For example, if I want to scroll down two screen lengths, like through a Web page or list, the scroll effect takes off as fast as it can and scrolls to the very end of the page, instead of just scrolling the expected distance that it would if I'd scrolled directly from my phone. Are there any settings to improve this behavior?

The chromecast's screen cast will disconnect randomly. The last screen image stays on screen but doesn't update. I need to disconnect and reconnect for it to resume properly. Any ideas why our if anything can be done to improve this?

The physical home button on the AppRadio, it will only pass single click home button events to the phone. Double presses and long presses don't get passed to the phone. It's the anything that can be done about this?

Thanks

Chromecast no longer working with phone hotspot

I have been using App radio unchained with my lg g3, app radio 2 and a chrome cast dongle for some time and it was all working fine. Only the other day the chrome cast app has been updated and when trying to connect to the chrome cast with the hotspot on my phone as before it is just saying i need to be connected to a wifi network so I am now unable to screencast. I can still get the chrome dongle to connect to my phone's wifi hotspot but then in the chrome cast app it is not detecting and as it says I need to be connected to wifi. Has anyone else had this problem since the update or is there a way to resolve it?

Any help would be great thanks.
[Android General] Gabouka:
Hi, I'm having the same issue here. The only way I can make it work is by using a separate phone as a wifi hotspot... So if anybody knows a workaround it would be much appreciated.
[Android General] mirx1:
I've also been having this issue. It feels like Google either forgot about it or disabled the ability to Screencast to Hotspot devices. I ended up uninstalling the new version and downloading an older apk that still let's you do this. But now all of a sudden the older version is having a hard time recognizing head unit touch events.

Another way to avoid this is to switch to a Miracast device as these don't need an internet connection. On Android 5 you may have to edit the build.prop file to enable Miracast support.

Hi Breda, I found this old post regarding Output Resolution, tried out all recomended and still get no step further. Using the App Unchained with Sony Xperia Z and Pioneer SPH 120 HU, everythings work actually fine (touch, calibration, connection) except the output resultion shown on the HU. I was using Resolution Changer App to try solving the Problem, but nothing helps. Connected to a TV Screen Xperia Z works brilliant and sharp, but on the HU it keeps always a stretched screen, (whatever i change for Resolution and DPI) specialy the fonts are almoust unreadable - was searching so many ways to solve the Problem, but no-way - I found nothing, that brings me further...

HDMI, Miracast, Mirrorlink

Hi & thanks for the quick reply, seems you have heard about the issue, wondering why the Problem appears by starting the APP. If I use just HDMI without BT and touch controll and without the APP, the screen resolution of the HU is fine.

Guess my Xperia would work with Miracast but SPH 120 doesn´t support it, just Mirrorlink, and this, I never get to run (using 5.1.1.)

Any other hint? maybe?
[Android General] Area51©:
You need to configure the screen correctly on the head unit: When you are in APP mode go to Settings->System->Input/Output settings->AppRadio Video Adjustment. Then position the yellow lines around the part of the screen you want to see,press preview and then Ok.
