OK, I think I figured out how to get Tasker to Stop / Start ARUR automatically:

I created the Task "Stop / Start ARUR":

1) Launch App - ARUnchained Reloaded

2) Wait - 5 Seconds (may not be necessary)

3) Run Shell - Command, input tap 805 300 (these are the x y coordinates of the Stop button)

4) Run Shell - Command, input tap 805 195 (these are the x y coordinates of the Start button)

Then created the Profile "Stop / Start ARUR":

- With HDMI Plugged in "and" Call Any (any call in progress)

- Start "Stop / Start ARUR" (Task)

Seems to work on the phone, have to test it on my AR3 tomorrow!!!:good:

Hello all, user of this app with appradio 2 and note 3, and has been great up to today, with the update of the chromecast app software to 1.12.32. Now the app wont let you use your phone as a hotspot. it automatically informs you that the chromecast needs a wifi connection :( and tries to turn off mobile hotspot to turn on wifi....

Any solutions other than rollback app to 1.11.9?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] CodeNinja:
The problem isn't connecting to the Chromecast. The phone does that, the app just fails to cast the screen and usually crashes. From what I've found, the ROM needs to support having a certain flag turned on in order for Chromecast to work, and I've not found a ROM that states it supports that. Development for the phone has all but stopped at this point and what's out there is pretty buggy (unstable bluetooth is a huge problem).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] adfurgerson:
The Chromecast will let you connect through the app at first through some sort of network that it broadcasts, but after that your phone and Chromecast need to be on same network. The workaround is by using your phone's hotspot and another device to connect.

For Miracast I did have to edit the build prop to enable wireless display using this method.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] naboleo:
That's a correct solution, but depends on screen resolution so it may be not "universal"

You'd better use Dpad function from tasker :

3) Dpad - button = down - 2 times (to select start one)

4) Dpad - button = press - 1 time

Now whatever screensize and/or orientation you are ready to go
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
Its a good point about newer phones now dropping MHL out of any sort more and more. So what dongles have people found to be ultra reliable.

Chromecast - Relies on a hotspot (from the phone or other) and an internet connection (at the time of connection) but reliable if these are present

Belkin Micacast Dongle - reported as reliable, but seems to be becoming harder to get, especially in the UK

I have found the Tronsmart to be very flaky and keeps dropping into Ezcast mode rather than Miracast.

What else have people found to be good and reliable?

I've been dealing with this inconvenience for a few months now. I've tried several different sequences for connecting the phone and pressing the "OK" on the HU's initial "Caution" screen without any success. After ARUR does it's handshaking, a second "Caution" screen is displayed with about half of the time the "OK" is grayed out.

Could this be a parking bypass issue? ARUR issue? communication/interface problem? Feature of Appradio 3?

Does this happen for anyone else? Is there any debug or logging I should look at for troubleshooting?

It seems that the parking bypass is not doing its magic.

Check if it is correctly wired up.

I have appradio3 and never had the ok button greyed out. Always active even car is moving.

I don't even have the Chromecast app installed on my phone, just using the cast screen quick panel from notification drop down.

Edit.... Sorry didn't realize that not all phones have that option.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ncfroc:
I double checked the bypass module. Everything seemed like a good connection. I don't recall any issues with original AppRadio but honestly it sucked so bad I can't really remember.

Here's a basic video of the "bad" case: [YOUTUBE]fkGDW5Hjwb8[/YOUTUBE]

12s: dismiss initial caution screen

15s: connect phone

50s: ARUR handshake complete

65s: caution screen w/o OK

69s: caution screen w/o OK

80s: "fix" with home->apps->OK->apps

Here's a basic video of the "good" case: [YOUTUBE]co0wQRxo024[/YOUTUBE]

11s: dismiss initial caution screen

25s: connect phone

63s: ARUR handshake complete

87s: caution screen w/o OK

90s: caution screen with OK

Also, is there anyway to speed up the handshaking from what I see (40-50 seconds from initial connect)?

Screen ratio/size trouble Nex6000 and S6

So i rooted and installed a custom Rom (XtreStoLite Deo-Mod Edition 2.3) on my Galaxy S6 (with Nova Launcher)... installed the Screen beam 2 in the car (NEX6000 unit) .. and downloaded the ARU Reloaded app today. I managed to get everything up and running in about 10 minutes. I have one problem though. In normal mirror mode with just HDMI input the screen looks fabulous. Edge to edge perfect display. When i switch to the ARU mode on the deck to get the touch working (touch works fine) the screen isnt fully displayed (dispite being in landscape mode) It looks as if it is zoomed in and i cant see the ends of the screen e.g menu bar on top, or even all the icons. I will try to take a picture to show the difference. Im not sure what to do and how to fix this display issue. Once i get this resolved... Everything would be perfect. Then i would automate the connection etc with Tasker.

Anyone have any ideas?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
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. I think there's two settings. One for HDMI and one for APPS.

Thank you for your application.

But one question. Possible to transfer data from a microphone SPH-DA120 on android stick? To be able to use the voice search on the stick using the microphone SPH 120.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ikerg:
Voice from.pioneer mic is only kept for the hands-free on the Headunit

Splitter is not possible due to being powered from two sources simultaneously is not possible.

So you need to buy a cheaper usb sound boars and a mic, unless there exist a Bluetooth mic only.

Best Verizon phone for ARU R?

Hi. I have a verizon Galaxy S6 that is unfortunately version 5.1.1. I'd like to use AppRadio Unchained relaoded, but need a phone I can root. What's the best phone in the verizon ecosystem to use with AppRadio right now?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] lpasq:
Waiting for N5X and going to retire N5, so I cut the cord and pulled SlimPort and hooked up an old Chromecast to anticipate, and to join the bleeding edge. Other than the minor latency, and the manual process action to select 'Cast screen available device', it's acceptable. However, occasional disconnects while driving are the worst. Like others, I worked Tasker as much as possible but hit same limitations documented here and there. I haven't settled into any profile worth posting to share.

Anyone settle on a Tasker profile from ARUr app selected > BT on > BT connected > WiFi tether on > WiFi connected > Launch app Cast screen?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
This is why I have asked the question for people to help the community and recommend Miracast dongles that they have working well. People are going to need the choice as Chromecast will not suit many, especially where internet connections are patchy.

Not had anyone say anything works well yet :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] lpasq:
I see. My first lesson then, as clearly others on forums already state, we need WiFi direct casting. In the meantime, as ARUr develops, I will read up on Miracast Appradio combos while digging up an old toggle app to set some home screen switches/toggles in conjunction with Tasker. This http://widgetsoid.jaumard.com has a widget-toggle option named 'Custom,' and you can chain modes and states. Regardless of any connect/reconnect simplification, any reconnection will require direct phone interactions. I know Tasker has a task widget too. I am just noobing my way to learn what everyone already knows, since I am late to the party.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Don't spend too much time on Tasker. An alpha version with casting support is going to be available this week. It's implemented as an accessibility service which allows to interact with the GUI of the Settings app. Unfortunately this means that I have to program the interaction for each brand as most have their own GUI. Currently it works with my Nexus 6, Nexus 4 & Android 4.4.x and Samsung S4 & Android 4.4.x.

The last thing I am doing now is to add suitable logging for the accessibility service so that in combination with a video you make I can add support for all major brands that will initially fail.

I updated to Android 6 marshmallow and ARUR force closes once it seems to complete the initial handshaking with the headunit. Anyone else running marshmallow?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] lpasq:
Hopefully you captured a log and sent it to developer. Thanks ncfroc
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ncfroc:
I sent a log through the standard Android "Report" option of the crash dialog.

I did notice that even though I have clicked "System app enabled" diagnostics still shows "Installed as system app" as unchecked.

Note: Marshmallow did require a new SuperSU v2.49 and custom kernel to root.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Apparently the rights system has changed and the 'System app enable' trick is not possible anymore. If you manually enable 'Mock locations' in the developer settings, does the app still crash?

From what I have heard it's still possible to let the app switch 'Mock locations'. However you have to make it a system app by moving around the installed files as it used to be when 'System app enable' was not implemented.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ncfroc:
It appears that the issue is with mock locations and not system app enable/disable. Specifically when "Do not switch mock locations" is unchecked it will cause the app to crash.

Toggle BT on Start: checked

Start/Stop on HDMI: checked

Do not switch off BT on HDMI disconnection: checked

Do not switch mock locations: unchecked

System App: Disable or Enable

Outcome: Force close after connect

Toggle BT on Start: checked

Start/Stop on HDMI: checked

Do not switch off BT on HDMI disconnection: checked

Do not switch mock locations: checked

System App: Disable or Enable

Outcome: OK

The initial connection still seems to have some issues with connecting in addition to taking 30+ seconds to complete. In the failure cases, sometimes I need to unplug/re-plug to force a re-try on the connection before it will connect. Other times I've opened up ARUR and the red "Stop" button was highlighted and then I manually need to click the green "Start" button and it'll kick-start the connection.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] magicland:
A few quick questions. Area 51 was nice enough to email me a list of receivers which work with this app, managed to find a good deal on a factory refurb 4000NEX. Was all set to root my phone, get the app, and get crackin', except it seems it's a bit more difficult to root a galaxy S5 running lollipop than it was kitkat. Fortunately still on 5.0 rather than 5.1.1, but I suspect my weekend will be spent figuring out how to do it. Now on to the questions:

1) I've got the Samsung MHL adapter. The Pioneer manual shows their adapter hooked to the HDMI and USB2 output, then to the phone. Is the Pioneer USB out only supplying power for the MHL adapter, and if so, can I just hook up a standard powered micro-usb cord to the Samsung MHL adapter, or is some sort of data being transferred?

2) I've got both a Chromecast and an Android stick. Does the chromecast simply provide a wireless means of hooking the phone to the head unit, rather than using the MHL adapter? And if I went with the Android stick, I believe the touch data from the head unit is sent back via bluetooth? If so, is it possible to have both the android stick and my phone connected via bluetooth at the same time, or would I not be able to answer calls on the head unit with the stick hooked up? TIA!

I use the Microsoft Dongle and it works well. I get occasional skips in the music but not much at all. I tried the ezcast dongle and it was terrible for me. Have yet to try the Belkin dongle.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Did you try to enable 'Mock locations' in the developer settings first? You do not mention that you did that. Could it be that you have to allow the app to use 'mock locations' somehow?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bioexcel:
Please how much is this app
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ncfroc:
That was it! With "Mock location app" set to "ARUchained Reloaded" mock locations work and the app no longer crashes. Note that 'Can switch mock locations' under diagnostics still shows unchecked unless installed as a system app enabled is set. Mock locations work independent of the "System app" config but do require ARUR set as the "Mock location app".

I don't recall ever changing anything in the Android Developer Settings related to mock locations when I initially started using ARUR. I never really cared to use the headunit's GPS so wasn't that concerned with it. I thought that I saw gps injecting under ARUR gps status but now I'm not sure.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
If you did 'System app enable' from the menu then ARUR can automatically enable 'Mock locations' as necessary. However that trick doesn't work with M. I will have to see if that can be fixed somehow.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ncfroc:
That makes sense, thanks!

How can I set my S6 to auto start screen mirroring and ARUR when I enter into my car?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] lpasq:
A comment to dev.

Consider next ARU with "Screen cast" as a completely new release. Especially if the feature set is planned to include not requiring permissive SELinux but also does not require root. Such an advancement in software development that makes the application usable to the masses warrants separate release at any price.

My two cents as a grateful user...

Direct use of aru via mhl vs android stick

I use ARUR with my Galaxy S4 via MHL and all is good.

Bought a Note 5, which does not support MHL. I left my S4 in the car (Sim card removed) and tether it to my Note5, which works well for navigation, music etc. Voice dialing is now done through the appradio head unit (connected to my Note 5 via a 2nd bluetooth link).

Appradio voice dialing is clumsy - I miss "okay google, dial so and so".

Is there an app which would allow my s4 (connected via ARUR) to dial out and receive calls/texts via another android phone? Not voip stuff, but maybe an SIP client/server or something?

The above problem is the same with an android stick... Another way would be to use Chrome cast or Miracast, but from what I have read, this is slow, clumsy and not reliable.

All help appreciated!

Just plugged in Microsoft Miracast dongle to AR3 HDMI and USB power out of radio. N5 Cast screen immediately addresses and syncs. Retiring Chromecast for a few days to see if this wireless ARUr solution is more reliable with start/stop on/off video broadcasting. BT and touch is okay.

Ok, I've had the original setup from almost the start of AR unchained. I had the samsung sg4. I left AR unchained a long time ago but have kept upto date with the forum. I now have an xperia Z3+ (Z4 in some areas), a chromecast, Amazon firetv stick and a microsoft wireless miracast dongle. What I would like to know is which is the best setup and what do I now need to get it all up and running with the least amount of fuss? I have been using the mirroring function on my head unit but it doesn't output enough power via usb to enable the phone to work at the same time as charging without losing the charge too quick. Thanks

I'm not sure how android cast works, but with my LG G3 I have a miracast option. I just enabled that, and then it lists dongles or TVs where I can cast too. The dongle is always present after I give it time to boot up after I power on the car.

So basically, I connect ARU, then miracast my screen and it works.

I bought a Microsoft dongle but have only tested connected to TV. My question for you is do you get the screen with the pin code or have you found a way to disable it? I seen there is a Windows app but none of my PC's will connect via Wi-Di

so maybe that is my issue.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sinbrad:
That's strange because I've connected it to both TV and head unit and I never say a Pin at any stage?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] adfurgerson:
I actually bought two, one for at home and one to take with me out of town for work. Neither one did it when first setting them up but after that after that it would show a passcode on screen that dongle was connected to and I would have to enter it into phone. I'll have to look into whether it is something on my phone triggering it. Thanks for reply.

Alpha version with screencasting support available

The first version with support for screencasting is made available for alpha testing. This first version was only tested with my Nexus 6. It has Miracast and Chromecast support. To join alpha testing you need to have a Google+ account and then you can apply here: https://plus.google.com/communities/108835433120083901102

Miracast

- Go to the app's settings

- For 'Connection trigger method' select 'Bluetooth-Screencasting'

- Scroll down to 'Screencast Settings'

- At 'Head unit bluetooth address' select the Bt connection to your head unit

- At 'Casting start delay' enter 20

- At 'Casting method' select 'Miracast'

- At 'Casting device name' enter the name of the Miracast device to connect to

- Go to the Phone's 'Settings->Accessibility' and enable 'ARUnchained Reloaded'

Chromecast

- Go to the app's settings

- For 'Connection trigger method' select 'Bluetooth-Screencasting'

- Scroll down to 'Screencast Settings'

- At 'Head unit bluetooth address' select the Bt connection to your head unit

- At 'Casting method' select 'Chromecast'

- At 'Casting device name' enter the name of the Chromecast device to connect to

- Go to the Phone's 'Settings->Accessibility' and enable 'ARUnchained Reloaded'﻿

Control of the screencasting and phone's hotspot (in case of Chromecast) is done via the Settings app GUI. All necessary items are recognised by text from the GUI. In case your phone's language is English most texts to be recognised are predefined and you only need to set the name of the device to cast to. If you use another language you probably need to change the texts in the settings.
