Hi!

I do not speak English very well. I do not remember which port adapter is connected, but I'm sure that all of the instructions pioneer.

After connecting everything worked well.

how was.

after the HU begins to play music from a flash drive. I click "home" and that's what I see:

http://s017.radikal.ru/i416/1509/83/621c6e0d8603.jpg

I click the icon of the ARU and see on the screen HU my smartphone. while the music continues to play with the stick usb1.

and I can use all the features of a smartphone with a screen HU, and while listening to music from a flash drive.

as it is now.

http://s020.radikal.ru/i709/1509/62/a14ff9b01af9.jpg

and now I click "apps" and play music from a flash drive is stopped.

What is the connection status of ARU? It still says 'Connected - '?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jUsT2eXy:
Hi. Uninstalling the app via the playstore then reinstalling it did not work or me.

Normally there is a data file/obb etc that you can delete once the app has been uninstalled to totally erase any history of the app being installed (normally this is licence details..for example the app Titanium Backup/Poweramp to stop you using the trial over and over again)... does ARU have a file / folder like this... this could solve my problem without me having to wipe my device.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks!

Cast integration progress

Finally have time available to work on cast integration. Currently I have casting to a Belkin Miracast device working reliably on my Nexus 6. From start to a fully working connection takes about 1:40 minutes. This includes booting time of the head unit and the booting time of the Belkin Miracast which actually takes the most time. Still have to debug the code for connection to a Chromecast and clean it up a bit. I expect to have an alpha version available within a week.

Stupid question... my phone is super over heating.. I was looking at the android sticks but is there anyway to still have your phone connected for calls?? I have a galaxy s4 and an appradio4 so I dont think it runs dual bluetooth.. any suggestions before i dump on the android stick? i assume ill be running hot spot and wifi but will still need the bluetooth from stick connected for touch screen so how can I connect my phone for phone calls?

Thanks in advance
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Hmm, not sure what is going on. Don't think it has to do anything with the app. Anyway what you can try is to clear the Bluetooth connection from both the head unit and the phone. Then pair them again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ikerg:
Appradio 3 allows having phone connected by bt to the Headunit simultaneously to having the stick connected by bt to Headunit for touching purposes.

I don't think appradio 4 couldn't do it.

Best New Verizon Phone for ARUR

First and foremost, great app Area 51. I've been using AppRadio Unchained since it first came out and ARUR for about 6-months now. Unfortunately, my current HTC One M7 is on its death bed and I'm quickly learning that finding a Verizon phone that works with ARUR seamlessly is a bit of an issue.

My question is this: what's the easiest new Verizon phone to root and use with ARUR on AppRadio 3? I'm hoping to just be able to root and use ARUR without any workarounds. Any feedback you guys could provide would be greatly appreciated.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dredq:
I have been struggling with bluetooth connection issues with AppRadio3. Each time I connect I need to toggle the media bluetooth connection. I downloaded and began using Bluetooth Auto Connect App by Uniq Tec.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.myklos.btautoconnect&hl=en

Ever since I installed this app my phone LgG2 (Vs980; Validus Rom) connects every time and very fast. If anyone else is having this problem you should try this app.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jejb:
Good question. Kind of curious also if any of the newest Verizon smart phones are rootable, or if they all have this same locked BL. I really like my S5, but if something ever happened where I needed to replace it, it'd be nice to know there is some option to be able to get a rootable device.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rostovskiy:
Yes, I've tried. does not work. you find a problem with the Sony?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] SO_dank:
Any one know a way to make the hml actually charge the phone and not just overheat it while killing the battery... S4 galaxy.. thanks guys. I want to order the android stick but i have not read that it definitely will definitely work with App radio 4 and dual bluetooth (phone) (android stick)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
1) Don't have a Samsung Phone

2) Run a custom Kernel where you can control the CPU speed to reduce the heat created
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jejb:
Just wanted to say thanks to Area51 for this app, and the support in this forum. I started out using the Sammy MHL adapter to my Verizon S5. And it worked, but was not straight forward to get it into ARU App mode, and it was quite a clutter on the console with the various wires required. On Area51's advice, I bought an ActionTec ScreenBeam Mini and have it hidden back behind the radio. SO much slicker both to connect and aesthetically.

I started off rooted on KK 4.4.4 but decided to go ahead and update that during this process, too. I'm rooted LP 5.0 now. Didn't seem to make any difference in the process, but thought I'd note it here anyway.

Many thanks to others that have been good enough to answer questions here, too. For us folks just getting started into the world of HDMI Pioneer HU's, it sure saves us a lot of aggravation!

And one more question, while I'm at it. I'm trying to set up a macro to kill the S5's "Screen Mirror" system app when it disconnects from the HU's Bluetooth. I'm using MacroDroid. I can start mirroring with it using the Launch Shortcut, but there seems to be no way to kill it. There is no Kill Shortcut option and the two Kill functions do not list the Mirror app. Does anyone know of a way to do that, or with a different app than MacroDroid?

Sooo... With the new Nexus and soon other phones supporting USB Type C, does this mean we won't be able to use our new phones with the AppRadio? Was needed a new phone and was going to spring for the Nexus 5X but remembered that I need to be able to hook it up to my AppRadio....
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dredq:
Why would USB Type C stop you from using AppRadio? You will need a slimport that would work with Type C and I can't imagine that will not be produced or you can just move to a wireless solution. Type C is suppose to charge 3-5x faster which should solve the charging issue with the phones connected to AppRadio. I personally can't wait until this comes out.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
Haven't seen any specs from either the 5X or 6P as to what they will support HDMI wise, whether it be MHL, Slimport or WIFI. Its not the sort of info that gets knows until launch as its not very high on the vast majorities of peoples lists due to screen casting over WIFI these days.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] robollama:
I just haven't seen any mention of Type C slimport adapters
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ffejeroni:
I was just about to edit my post, but I'll reply here. I got it to work by having BT actually connected without HDMI plugged in. Once I went to the setting where the options were greyed out, I turned BT off and the settings were able to be changed. Not sure why I couldn't get it with no connections at all, but at least I got it.

I was able to get ARUR to work, but it seems to crash occasionally. I noticed it twice with me using "OK Google", once I spoke a command, Google executes it, then ARUR either crashes or shuts down. I am still able to see the screen, but the pointing hand with the red x is back when I try to interact with the HU. Any pointers or ideas? Thanks again for an amazing piece of software.

Edited to say: I'll work on getting a logcat while I'm at lunch and will post when I get back.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
There was a specific version of Screen Standby developed for the N5. You can download it from the app thread on this site. However I would suggest just getting second screen from the Play Store which works fine with the N5.

AruR+Android Stick+USB GPS

Hi guys, i bought AVH-X8600BT Pioneer with appradio and think to run setup like this : Android HDMI Stick with USB GPS for Waze ( by "You Are Here" app) + Embeded Wifi for Internet and AruR for controlling the stick from HU. Can somebody tell if it's possible at all ? I read a few reports here that MK809 working great with GPS and i know it was with GPS injector and GPS embedded HU, but never seen anybody run USB GPS module with Android stick..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] crmartin9:
Thanks for the suggestion. I wasn't familiar with Second Screen until you pointed it out to me. I tried it out this evening and it works great! :good:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ffejeroni:
I can't get this issue to reproduce because after the two successful connections, ARUR now just says either "Listening for connection" and sometimes gets to "Negotiating protocol", but hangs even with the workaround checked. I get a successful BT connection to the HU, but the Android never shows up, I don't even get the BT symbol with a red x over the app card stack on the HU homescreen like I was. Seems like it's not even trying now. Still on stock 5.0.1 rooted, tried SELinux in permissive and enforcing, no joy. Any ideas?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Currently there's two issues that can cause the Negotiating protocol hang. One is the wrong channel assignment issue. There's a better workaround for that. It's available as alpha version. The other hang applies to NEX8000/NEX4000 units. It seems with the latest firmware the handbrake bypass doesn't work any more. What is worse is that AppRadio mode won't be enabled till the HU is happy that the handbrake is engaged. Also the Pioneer AppRadio app doesn't connect when the handbrake is not engaged.

I am working on a new version. It will detect when the wrong channel assignment occurs and give an appropriate message so you know when to use the workaround. It also has a configurable workaround. It will also detect the handbrake not engaged situation and give a message for that. After that it will wait for the handbrake to become engaged. I need some people to run a test for me so I can be sure that I send the correct sequence to the HU to be able to continue. I asked a few people already to do a test but nobody came back with results yet.

I will try to make the new version available as alpha tomorrow.

About the staying in Listening for connection, what settings did you enable?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ffejeroni:
Thanks for the reply, and for the explanation. I have the SPH-DA210, have you heard any issues with that system and the bypass? Weird thing is that after my initial post yesterday, it worked when I got the app connection set to other. I set up Torque and played around with a few things, which is when I noticed Google Now crashing occasionally. After work, I got into my vehicle, connected the phone and figured it would work right away but it never seemed to try and connect. I removed the BT connection from both devices, reinstalled ARUR, tried with permissive and enforcing and no luck. Since you mentioned the handbrake thing, that would sort of make sense, I just hope it's not that, I'm sure I connected the bypass correctly (I used to install car audio and security systems). Anyhow, the options I have selected in ARUR are:

Rotation locker

Toggle bluetooth on start

Start/stop on HDMI connection/disconnection

Do not switch off BT on HDMI disconnection

Start upon boot (tried with this off and on)

I've tried with the workaround selected and deselected. Start delay is left unchanged as well.

Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ffejeroni:
Just an update on this: After unplugging the HDMI cable that runs from the HU to the SlimPort adapter, then reconnecting I was able to connect. Not sure why exactly, but it worked. I drove somewhere, then got back in the vehicle to leave and it wouldn't work. I had it set up using a 12 volt adapter to the SlimPort adapter and it wouldn't connect. I removed that and used the micro-USB cable I ran off the USB female port of the HU and it connected right away. I wasn't aware that one was better than the other, but if it works, I'll continue to use that setup.

The only other issues I continue to have are anytime I use "OK Google" to issue a voice command, ARUR crashes and I lose touch input to the HU. I can use voice search on a few apps and it seems to work, but anything Google Now seems to have issues. The only other thing is while using Car Dashdroid (I know, different dev/you don't support other people's work), I slide to the left to use the phone, which I believe opens the native dialer app, and everything crashes with a disconnect instead of just losing touch input. I can use the HU's built in function for making calls, so it's not a huge deal, but I thought I'd mention in case anyone has seen this or knows a way around it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
Ok, updated my Nexus 5 to 5.0.1 yesterday. Have kept the OEM kernel and just re-rooted and set SELinux into permissive (not needed for ARUR but did it anyway).

My findings are everything still works fine as it should. Connects fine, Google Now doesn't crash, Car Home Ultra which is the car mode replacement I use works fine.

What method did you use to get to 5.0.1?

Mine was:

Full clean install of 5.0 a few weeks ago via Wugfresh Nexus Root Toolkit, installing SuperSU Pro, Busy Box Pro, SELinux Permissive App and Franco Kernel - All worked fine with none of the bugs others reported (Battery drain fine etc)

Yesterday to get to 5.0.1

Restored OEM Kernel

Manually ADB fastbooted all of the img files (except user data so that I did not wipe data)

Used Wugfresh to re-root and updated Busy Box Pro

This has left me with stock rooted 5.0.1 with SELinux in permissive mode and everything working fine. Will look at moving to Franco Kernel in a few days when I am happy it is stable on OEM.

I have read a fair few issues with people taking the unroot and running the update process. Never a good move if you have rooted at any point.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] anujpuri85:
I know there is a way to get tasker to load the ARUR app, but is there a way to get it to then click the start button? I can't seem to figure it out. I've tried the dpad tasks too and those haven't worked. Also, is there then a way to get tasker to run and start screen standby? and then turn it off when I need it to?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
With Tasker can you start a service with an intent? If so it should be possible to start the service with this intent: 'mars.area51.arunchained.unchainedservice.CommService'.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] slow66:
Is there a way to disable the AR3 phone interface? Once a call is in progress I cannot enter additional numbers.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
No, if you consistently need to press the same number (e.g. conference call) then best to use something like conf call dialer from the play store where you can pre program it all in there.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] slow66:
That is part of the dilemma, the other is the need to reference a saved document. If I go back to the home screen the call is muted.

Is it possible to change the auto muting of the AR3 interface?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] onebyside:
just got back from working out of town....will try latest ver tomorrow
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] anujpuri85:
exellent. Got it working. Thanks! Know of any way to remove that left navigation panel that takes up part of the screen on the appradio so that I can mirror my phone to the entire headunit screen?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] adu1982:
Anybody got this working on the lg g3. I have a sprint rooted lg g3 and all i get is display. No sound or touch control. Ive tried the different settings in arur but no go. When i hit connect i see all su services request, bluetooth turns on and off and arur says its waiting for connection.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
Not that I know of. Not something you should be doing if driving anyway. If not driving, just go to the screen on the phone and do it directly as that will still work with the HU on the call.

---------- Post added at 09:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 AM ----------

Delete the pairing, ensure the HU is set to other and re-create the pairings. Sounds like its not setting the bluetooth connection.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
What head unit do you have? Did you set the BT connection to 'Others' instead of 'Iphone'?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] onebyside:
well I've progressed past negotiating protocol on HDMI, now stuck at "waiting for handbrake to be engaged".

Any News?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Still working on it. I made progress but I was a bit sidetracked by an idea to make it work without root. It seems it can be done by making a native daemon that is started through ADB from a PC. Apparently this gives enough rights to be able to inject touch events. The disadvantage is that it will only work as long as you don't reboot the phone.

After a reboot you have to connect it to a PC again to start the daemon via ADB. I am also looking into a cheap as possible embedded processor board that can simulate the PC and that will do only one thing when you connect it to the phone and that is to start the daemon. After a reboot connect the board briefly and you are good to go.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sinbrad:
Sounds good. Will have to keep on top of battery charging as letting the battery accidentally run out of juice will have the same effect as rebooting. Hopefully as you say the small addition of a processor board may help and the fact that it'll be portable?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Yes it will certainly be portable. Only concern is that it has to be cheap enough, less than 20$ I would say. However as for many AT&T and Verizon customers rooting is a major headache they might be willing to spend a bit more to avoid it.

Anyway for now I will concentrate on finishing the casting support first.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] adfurgerson:
I would be willing to pay more than $20.00 just to be able to upgrade to a newer device without waiting for root exploits to be found.

Edit....or just to be able to upgrade to a new version of Android such as Marshmallow without having to wait for root to be obtained.

Full AR Control While Using Phone App!!!! MUST READ!!

WOW. Amazing discovery today, purely by accident!! As we know, while using our AR phone app, typically, we can't use any of the Android functions on the HU as the phone dialer app covers the right side of the screen in the foreground and can't control the background android apps.

While I was driving and having a conversation, unexpectedly, ARUR stopped and I was brought back to the AR HU screen. Bluetooth still working and still having my conversation. I pulled out my phone and pressed the ARUR "Start" button. Pressed the AR "Home" hard button and then the little Android guy with his hand up!!! Pressed "ignore" when attempting to connect (that's nothing new) and ARUR then kicked in and was mirrorred once again with my FULL phone displayed...ALL WHILE STILL TALKING AND CONNECTED!! I then selected the Android phone dialer (NOT AR dialer) and could do a conference call, press numbers, etc. I pressed the "Home" button and then started up Waze...STILL TALKING ON THE PHONE!! Basically, the AR phone dialer was now running in the "background"...YAY!!!

So, here's a summary:

1) Start or answer phone.

2) On phone, "Stop" ARUR.

3) Takes you back to AR HU screen.

4) On phone, "Start" ARUR (listening for connection).

5) Go back to AR HU screen and tap the Android guy.

6) Wait for ARUR to mirror (or press ignore if you don't want to wait).

7) ENJOY full control and mirroring while in call progress.

Ok, this all seems like alot of work, but, not really, and if area51 can add a "toggle stop/start when call is initialized" then this can be somewhat automatic!!! I have never used Tasker, but may give this app a try to automate this task.

Would like to hear from other users to test if this works for them as well.

If this can be automated, as an option, within the ARUR app, I'd gladly pay more money for this functionality. In my opinion, this is the only MAJOR problem/issue that I have with my AppRadio3 and ARUR.:good:

[MENTION=266368]area51[/MENTION] What general advice can you offer on phones and ARU life cycle development. Considering the N5X Type-C USB, and the likely continued move away from SlimPort and HDMI to Chromecast, is it a better bet for the old school AR users to cut the cable?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] CodeNinja:
I've recently been trying to get ARUR working with my Chromecast, and had some success with it. I could connect to ARUR with the phone, and it would show the Chromecast Home Screen on the radio, but sadly it turns out that my custom 4.4.4 ROM on my Skyrocket doesn't actually support casting even though the button is there. It won't even work with a TV. :(

So I'm looking at a new phone (because, lets face it, my phone is old and the new ROMs aren't stable at all), which brings up an interesting question. I did notice that the Zenfone 2 now has custom ROM support with rooting. Can anyone confirm of ARUR will work on a Zenfone 2, since it's not using ARM but x86? If ARUR is a Java program, it should work, but if it's compiled C++ it will depend on how it was compiled in the NDK and if multi-architecture was turned off or not.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
There's part native code and that's only compiled for ARM so the current version won't work with x86 devices.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] CodeNinja:
Good to know, thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] adfurgerson:
Have you tried turning on your WiFi hotspot on the Skyrocket then using a different device to run the Chromecast app and connect the Chromecast to the Skyrocket? Another option is to try a Miracast dongle and see if that shows as available to cast to, Miracast from the way I understand is similar to printers and such that can make their own adhoc network.
