Miracast does not need Internet. I use the Microsoft Wireless adapter with my 6P. This is the most commonly used one with the phone.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Jleech330:
Thanks I am trying that now. I can get my phone to mirror but 1) screen is small on the avic 8100nex, 2) I cannot use the nav to control the phone. The app says that it is connected. Any help greatly appreciated. It seems limilar to when I mirrored the phone with out using the app
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
Are you in app mode and not hemisphere on a rooted phone with selinux in permissive?

Also, that head unit has a zoom function i believe.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thesticks00:
quick question. I have appradio 2 and a Nexus 6P. I am connecting using the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter. I have the paid version of the app ARUR. I have everything set up correctly I believe (including having done the build prop edit). The paid app seems to work well in automation. The ONLY problem is it does not automate the casting part. Essentially, I have a microsoft logo on the headunit screen UNTIL I go into my phone's settings and go to display->cast and then click on the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter. Then everything works. Does the app not automate the casting part? There are not even multiple things to cast to. I could probably use tasker to make this happen, but I think the paid app should account for this. Please assist.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] stargate125645:
Have you tried setting a delay in ARUR? That's what it's for. Still, automated casting isn't guaranteed to work on every phone because non-pure Android may have added steps to the process that cannot be accounted for in the application.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thesticks00:
I have gone through the settings on the app. Not seeing an option for setting a delay? Could you possibly assist?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] stargate125645:
There is a casting start delay option under Screencast Settings. Also, make sure you have the correct description listed under the "status when device not connected" and "status when device connected" tabs, as that will affect whether ARUR can properly connect to your Miracast device. The default names will not always be correct; you need to check on the Miracast screen what they are when you are connected and not connected.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thesticks00:
Am i missing something? In appradion unchained reloaded, there is a wrench in the top right corner as well as 3 dots. Neither seem to bring up the options you are referring to. I must be looking in the wrong place.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] stargate125645:
I am not sure they appear if you are connected to your car...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thesticks00:
I am not connected to my car (it's in the basement garage some 13 floors beneath me). Not sure why I can't find it unless the app was updated to not have it (just downloaded off google play today).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] stargate125645:
Ah, you must not have the beta. I don't know that the store version has been updated with this feature? Sign up on Google+ to get access to the beta version.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thesticks00:
I am assuming the beta is even better than the store version (assumption). I have requested to join (pending approval). I guess I will see what the Beta brings.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
The screencasting automation is in the alpha version not in the beta version. I already notified you via email but just writing it here so other people are not trying to join the beta.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] stargate125645:
You should probably update the original post of the thread about what the alpha and beta offer if you are expecting people to know which one to join. Searching this thread can be cumbersome, and unless you know to search for an alpha or beta (not mentioned in the original post), I doubt you'll find instructions.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] adfurgerson:
Are you referring to the old beta, or is there a new one?

I'm confused and I've been following this thread for quite a while, plus read every page when I started following as to be sure I wasn't missing anything.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] stargate125645:
There is an alpha and a beta, which are not the Play Store versions that you can access through Google+. They are newer than what the Play Store offers.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] adfurgerson:
Thanks, but that doesn't answer the question I have. There was a beta available before the alpha with automation. I am trying to figure out if there is a beta that is newer than the old beta.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] stargate125645:
That question doesn't make sense to me. Alpha is always as new or newer.

Hi guys. I purchased a Nexus 6P and a Microsoft miracast adapter. I hooked them both up.

Everything works except touch. At first I got the red sign saying touch doesn't work but then it disappeared and ARU said everything was connected but touch still didn't work (no red sign). Am I doing something wrong?

PS. I'm on the latest Pure Nexus ROM, I'm rooted and have a permissive kernel setting.

Thanking you in advance for your helpful replies.

I have the same set up. What's the build.prop edit you speak of? My touch doesn't work :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
You have to edit the build.prop file to enable miracast. Search this thread or the 6P section for what yo add as its been posted several times.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jUsT2eXy:
So having read the PurNexus thread someone said the following:

I can see the Wireless adapter within the 'enable wireless display' box so the ROM has the build.prop edit already. I went to the car this morning and touch worked... not sure why it wasn't working before... Do you know why it wouldn't have worked? I hope it works later as I need to drive 2hours!

Also, I've messaged Area51 for Alpha Group access but he hasn't replied - how do I gain access to the automated app?

Thanks

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
Through the alpha group when you are given access. You can do it manually until then.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jUsT2eXy:
Thanks for the reply - as [MENTION=324146]400ixl[/MENTION] has said, I don't have access and must wait - it says I don't have permission.

Thanks for your help though :)

Hello,

You have the exact same setup as I do. Nexus 6p, Pure rom permissive kernel, microsoft miracast. I had things working on ARUR (non alpha or beta) from the google play store. The only thing is you had to manually go into settings, display, cast and click on the microsoft wireless adapter to get it to cast the screen. If not, you would just have the Microsoft screen on your headunit "ready to connect". I have since gained access to ALPHA in order to fully automate the casting. Since getting alpha, I cannot cast automatically nor can I cast manually. Since you have the setup that mirrors mine (pun), if you get things up an running correctly, please let me know. One problem someone noted in google + thread for ARUR alpha was that "any time your phone sees an open wireless network it abandons the miracast". I am still trying to figure out how to lockdown this setup. Any help would be appreciated greatly. Good luck to you as well!

Tried connecting over chromecast on the weekend with v.31, but if I'am running the hotspot on the same device I want to connect to the Chromecast it doesn't show my chromecast as available, what am I missing?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jUsT2eXy:
Hi.

I downloaded and installed the alpha today. I went into the cast settings within the App and under 'connection trigger method' I selected bluetooth - Screencasting.

Under 'Screencasting' settings I set the casting delay to 20 seconds as the default is too short.

'Casting Method' should read Miracast.

I turned the car on and waited but nothing happened - I clicked on the Android with bluetooth icon (where it tells you connection status in __%) and it connected automatically. I was in a hurry so pressed that button instead of waiting for it to fully auto connect (which my MHL connected Samsung Edge did). However, after doing this and visiting some shops a few times and stopping and starting, everything auto connects.

Tip: Disconnect/un-remember your adapter within the phone settings and then connect to the adapter so the phone remembers it and then start using ARU.

I wasn't aware of the 'wireless' issue! That doesn't sound good.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
That is not an issue unless they are using a cheap miracast device.

I have it working fully automated on the 6P and it mirrors for hours with no problem.

People have issues with custom Roms. Ditch it and use oem rooted.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] adfurgerson:
I am not positive this still works as I haven't used Chromecast in quite a while, but here is how I got it to work previously.

On the device you want to cast from uninstall and leave uninstalled the Chromecast app then enable hotspot on that device. Use a second device with the Chromecast app installed to make the initial connection of the Chromecast to the hotspot on your main device. Cross your fingers and hope it works.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thesticks00:
I have the microsoft device so I am thinking that should not be an issue. That said, I am still having problems. If I can't resolve, I will revert to stock rooted from the custom rom I am currently on (PURE), and see if that fixes the problem.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] orpheus1988:
Didn't work for me, however when I open the (reinstalled) chromecast app and than open the quick settings it shows my chromecast and lets me connect, now I just have to try that on the car instead of my tv.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thesticks00:
Frustration reaching new heights. I love custom roms, but sadly, it is not worth having a non functioning headunit in my car (at least not fully functioning). If you have a moment can you please detail your setup (which stock version you are on, the kernal, vendor, gapps), and if you did anything outside of the default setup for the alpha build of appradio unchained reloaded? Essentially my intention is to mirror your setup to a T to get this thing fully automated on the 6P and mirroring for hours without issue. Thank you so much in advance.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] orpheus1988:
Neither Miracast (Fire TV stick ?) nor chromecast (v1) show up as available targets if my Nexus 7 is both hotspot and the video source. If I have hotspot running on another device it connects kind of automated (still had to press on the target to actually connect) after the HU connected via BT.

Its pretty laggy, with some video compression artifacts and occassional sound jitters, but could be used, touch was as responsive as with connection over the Slimport, so I guess a proper Miracast adapter would help for most of those problems.

Quick question: Does GPS injection work with Google maps? Waze and here maps work as expected using AppRadio GPS, but with Google maps nothing?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Yes it works when you enable location services. Even with location services switched on the injected GPS data is used as this overrules the phone's internal GPS.

How are you connecting your S6 Edge to your HU? I've currently got an S5, and I'm using MHL, but I'm getting an S7 Edge (which doesn't have MHL), so I was wondering what you're using to connect yours, as it should be similar for the S7 Edge (once we can get root, of course). Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
Screenbeam mini 2 has been reported as the best for Samsung phones.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] hackaveli:
s6 edge doesn't support mhl so i have to rely on screen mirroring. So i use a Screen Beam Mini 2 which plugs into HDMI port. Use the phone to screen mirror. This basically allows video and audio to work with the appradio. All you need is a screen beam mini 2 to get screen mirroring to work with your appradio. You will see whatever is on your phones screen annd hear whatever your phone is playing through your car radio. However, you need to get Touch functionality to work by doing the following:

You will need an app called Appradio Unchained to get touch functionality on the appradio to work with your phone. Unfortunately, the S6 edge does NOT work with the FREE version of Appradio Unchained... so i HAD TO PAY for the paid version of APpradio unchained RELOADED. After paying for the app i was able to get touch functionality to work.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Super Josh:
What settings did you use in ARUR to get the phone to automatically connect to the screen beam mini?

Josh
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] hackaveli:
My Verizon GalaxyS6Edge/appradio/aru/screenbeam mini2 setup works but i'm having problems with staying casted. Sometimes my screen mirroring will freeze by going to either an all black or all gray screen.. sometimes the music will continue to play through my car speakers for about 30 seconds before cutting off when this happens. or sometimes the music will just cut off instantly. I can press the HOME button on the head unit and it takes me back to the main head unit screen which leads me to believe its not the head unit (has old factory firmware version though).. and when i try to go back into Appradio mode while screening is frozen its the all-black or all-gray screen again so i have to turn car off and back on to restart the screenbeam mini 2. Do you think its the screen beam mini itself or something having to do with the galaxy s6 edge? I thought it might have been the screen beam overheating but it happens on cold nights too. I am on custom ROM (Extreme syndicate to be specific).

Is it the custom ROM?? I HAVE TO use the paid version of ARU because s6 edge doesnt allow SE permissions to be set to permissive. Also, the current s6edge stock ROM kills any chance of ROOT. So if i go back to stock ROM i will lose root and will not be able to use apppradio unchained.. so if i go back to stock ROM just so appradio will work i will be screwing myself out of touch functionality.

---------- Post added at 11:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 AM ----------

I just read the last few pages and learned there is an alpha version of ARU that automatically casts screen for you. Skim through the last three or four pages for the link or just search the thread for keyword "alpha"
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Super Josh:
Thanks for the quick reply :)

I should have said that I'm already using the alpha, but I'm having trouble getting it to autoconnect to my screen beam mini on my galaxy S4 and was trying to find out what settings others are using

Josh
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] hackaveli:
just tried Alpha today. Couldnt get screen cast to work using ARU at first, but finally did. Here's How:

Click on the wrench logo for settings. Make sure Connection trigger method is set to bluetooth-screencasting... Go to screencast settings. THIS IS IMPORTANT: where it says HEADUNIT BLUETOOTH ADDRESS, you need to click on that and choose your appradios bluetooth. If you dont see it on the list then you need to manually enable screen mirroring yourself. then check the list again and it should be there. Make sure casting start delay is set to 20 seconds. every time i change settings in ARU i like to restart my phone for good measure (setting changes will not be in effect until next start of ARU).. It should work after that. If you dont let ARU know what your appradios bluetooth address is it wont screen cast.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] magicland:
Thanks, I've already got ARUR, and I'm using it with my GS5. The screenbeam mini 2 that you're using, that's just the receiver which plugs into the HDMI port, right? Does it need to be powered? If so, are you powering it from the USB 2 port, or does it get its power direct from the HDMI connection?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] hackaveli:
yes its just the receiver that plugs into the HDMI port. It is USB powered. I cut off the USB male and wired it straight to a 5-volt source in my car (cigarette lighter circuit).

After what feels like endless reading, tinkering, and troubleshooting I have ARUR + Microsoft Miracast working, and it is awesome!

My set up:

2015 Subaru STI

AVIC-8000NEX

Microsoft Miracast

Nexus 6P | Marshmallow 6.0.1 Stock Build MHC19I Rooted (not systemless) SuperSU 2.65

Automated with Tasker and Secure Settings plugin, triggered by BlueTooth connection, via the following:

Perform Task - Unlock Phone

Note: I could not get this to work with a Pattern on Marshmallow, and had to switch to a PIN, no big deal.

Wait 1s

Secure Settings Configuration Settings [Cast] .Settings$WiFiDisplaySettingsActivity

Wait 8s

Dpad Button Down 10x

Note: 10x because I noticed other Miracast/Chromecast devices nearby (i.e. my neighbors) and this script would try to connect to them. So I named my Miracast "ZZZZZZZZZ" and had the script scroll to the bottom of the list.

Dpad Button Press 1x

Dpad Button Back

Wait 2s

Say: Miracast Connected

Launch App ARUnchained Reloaded

Wait 2s

Dpad Button Up 2x

Dpad Button Press 1x

Wait 7s

Say: A R Connected

Wait 1s

Perform Task - Switch to OEM Launcher

Note: I did this to set up home page(s) for the HU, without any widgets except Pandora.

Wait 2s

Perform Task - Start Apps

Wait 1s

Go Home Page0

The above Enter tasks are working great, but I would appreciate any feedback if anyone spots anything which could be improved.

My exit tasks are working, but two parts have definite room for improvement. Here are the issues:

Not sure how to kill ARUR. Presently, I just have the task switch to the ARUR and click stop. Nothing else has worked, e.g. pkill, kill, forcestop, etc.

The ARUR "Toggle Bluetooth on start" feature really improves things. It makes everything run faster and smoother. Unfortunately, when I have it on then it triggers my exit scripts, since the bluetooth connection is turned off temporarily... I have been trying to figure out a workaround, but after hours of tinkering cannot find a solution. Presently, I have to leave the feature turned off and increase some of the Wait timers in the main Enter task.

Aside from those two minor issues, this turned out to be amazing, and after using it for a couple days I am extremely happy the results. Thanks Area51 for all of your work on this project!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] stargate125645:
I would be very interested in the unlock phone Tasker task if you could share how you did it. That's stopping me from moving to Miracast and a new phone. It seems like a good feature for ARUR, but has not been implemented so far. The trusted connections is not always reliable for unlocking the phone, and for some (including myself) rarely works if ever.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Do you know about the alpha version that has automatic casting support integrated?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DrunkFuX666:
Alpha version of what??
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Of AppRadio Unchained Reloaded. What else?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DrunkFuX666:
lol... no i meant to ask if the alpha version is the same latest version which is available on the play store?

Does anyone have ARUR working wirelessly with a Nexus 6 (rooted) and a Microsoft wireless display adapter?

Giving up on getting a Samsung (unrooted AT&T) phone to work with this adapter and I'd like to get a Nexus 6 rootable phone to use with ARUR, but, want it to be compatible with the wireless adapter as well.

Thanks in advance.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bryanintransit:
I did for about 6 months, then switched to the 6P.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] adfurgerson:
I have it working fine with lollipop, it requires an edit to build prop for Miracast to show up in settings.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JB98:
I had not used Tasker until last weekend when I dove head first into this project, so I may not be the best guy to be explaining this stuff, but here's what I threw together:

Enable "Unlock script"

Secure Settings - Configuration Screen & Keyboard Lights on 10 seconds

Wait 1s

Run Shell - Command input touchscreen swipe 700 1900 700 1300

Note: This swipes up to display the home page.

Wait 1s

Secure Settings - Configuration Clear Password

Secure Settings - Configuration Keyguard Enable

Note: There appears to be a bug where Enable is first needed before Disabled.

Secure Settings - Configuration Keyguard Disabled/BG

Say Text: Phone Unlocked

Exit "Lock script"

Secure Settings - Configuration Keyguard Enabled

Wait 1s

Secure Settings - Configuration Set Pin

The caveat I am running into with this Unlock/Lock script is that I use a wallet case which turns the screen off when the case is closed. I am attempting to integrate some Proximity Sensor Off functionality and have not yet worked that part out. So, presently, I have to flip the wallet case open before I turn my car on. If anyone has any recommendations as to how I could fix this then that would be awesome.

Yes, I signed up for your Alpha program, but have not yet tried the app. I was hoping to get my Tasker scripts to 100% first, so I'm still tinkering with stuff. Afterwards I'll try Alpha and report back.

Is anyone else having issues with ARUR and Marshmallow? I have a LG G3 this worked flawless on any old build of android, now I am running either CM13 even switched to Resurrection Remix, and I no longer get any output to my radio, ARUR goes through it's paces, it negotiated protocol, acquires HDMI signal and shows connected to SPH DA120 but I never get any prompts on the radio to show me the mirrored screen like it used it, is there some setting I need to change? Or is this just broken with Marshmallow?
