I have a flurry of automatic activity surrounding my leaving home and returning home. Smartthings alerts, security camera motion detector (always seems like I am swiping them at the wrong time), SiriusXM and/or Google Play pause/start. I've been adapting/getting used to it, but it would be nice to have that home button option.

There's another issue that's resurfaced for me involving Bluetooth. I used to have the same problem on the original app until I solved it with Tasker.

I have the option set to toggle Bluetooth on start, and honestly, I haven't yet tried it without the toggle (I will tomorrow). The toggle is so quick on my setup that the Bluetooth comes back on my phone (Nexus 6P completely stock and locked) but doesn't properly reconnect with my head unit (4000NEX). I seem to recall the touches on the head unit are communicated through Bluetooth, right? Because the touches come through.....streaming audio comes through.....but calls will not. And the Bluetooth icon on the phone and head unit don't show that either are connected....but they clearly partially are. It's very weird. I had solved this issue on the original app with Tasker by inserting a slight delay between turning off Bluetooth and turning it back on. For now I have been manually toggling after ARU finishes startup. I think it may just be an issue with my particular (cheap) NEX head unit and my particular setup. But it is annoying as &#*$, and I haven't had time to figuring out whether Tasker can solve/automate this without root.

I really don't think it's an issue with the app but thought I would mention it anyway just in case anybody else is experiencing this and you are able to possibly add some additional customization options without too much trouble. I apologize for not posting on the Google+ page....but I HATE that I must use my real name there and I go to great lengths to have no online presence.

First, sorry for my bad English.

What miracast you recomend to have good resolution? I tried two and in both the screen look very bad.

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Which ones did you try already? What head unit do you have?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Leonarzua:
Y try the "ELEGIANT Ezcast Miracast Google USB Wifi 2.4g " i bought it in Amazon.

My head unit is the Pioneer sph-da120. Someone recommend me the Microsoft wireless display adapter v2

Has anyone tried it?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] adfurgerson:
I am using the original Microsoft Wireless Display with the AppRadio 4 and it works fine, the head unit only has a resolution of 800×480 so it doesn't look as good as a phone display.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Leonarzua:
I think my "problem" is the resolution, although I was also going with some lag.

Can you put a picture of what your radio looks like on the Microsoft Wireless Display if it's not too much trouble?

Thanks for the replies.

My last post discussed a weird Bluetooth issue I had as result of toggling. I unchecked the toggling box and that fixed things. No toggle needed on Nexus 6P stock, AVH-4000NEX & Chromecast.

**************NEW FIRMWARE RELEASE*****************

I recently visited Pioneer's firmware page: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Support/Downloads

There is new firmware out for all AVH-*000NEX series head units, version 1.14. Unlike the last firmware update, this one actually updated the Bluetooth on my AVH-4000NEX. It's good to see that Pioneer hasn't forgotten the original NEX customers. For the *000NEX series, the listed changes are:

- Corrects a virtual keyboard issue related to iOS 9.x.

- Corrects a music display issue related to iOS 8 and later.

- Minor bug fixes

ARUnchained still works just fine after the firmware update.

There is also new firmware for other AppRadio models.

It's a video I took to demonstrate mirroring my phone running an app called HeadUnit Reloaded.

That is what all that Android Auto screens are about. I get my Jeep back Friday and I can try to get some pics up after that. The worst thing I see on mine is a pattern showing on screens with a lot of black in them. I guess it could be described as having a wood grain look.

Looks good, i have to try... Only need the phone and the microsoft adapter?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] stargate125645:
Verizon is reintroducing unlimited plans, which should include some free tethering. This was the last remaining issue for me to try the non-root version of this software. Do we have a list of working phones and firmwares somewhere (I would not count it as working if automation features are kaput on it)?

Finally, is there any indication this Android 7.0 non-root app access method will be blocked by Google in the future? I don't want to overpay for a Pixel phone (easier to root in the future) if I don't have to.

I think I'm still on the original AppRadio 3 firmware. It would be nice to know if there's a reason to update it. I seem to recall updates causing problems in the past.

Can only cast to Microsoft Miracast when connected to WiFi?

I have just purchased the Microsoft Miracast device to replace the Chromecast I used to use for ARU. I am on Android Nougat, and it is only discovering the Miracast to cast to when I am connected to my home WiFi. How can I cast to the Miracast in my car with WiIF disabled?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
When connecting Bluetooth for AppRadio mode at boot time of the head unit indeed a Bluetooth toggle isn't necessary. For the next version of the Rootless app it's going to be disabled when the connection is triggered by detecting the head unit. When pressing the Start button it will still be enabled if not switched off in the settings.

Another user reported that on a Nexus 6 with Android 6, 'Phone audio' does become disabled and when trying to enable it, it briefly becomes ticked and then unticked again. Since I have a Nexus 6 as well I did some tests and was able to reproduce it. After the app has done a Bluetooth toggle just once, for all the devices that are set up on the phone, 'Phone audio' can't be enabled anymore. Only a reboot can fix it. The really weird thing was that even though 'Phone audio' was shown unticked, on the head unit it was shown connected and I was able to make calls from the head unit.

I tried it on my Nexus 5X with Android 7.1.1 but I couldn't reproduce the issue.

I am going to experiment a bit with making the Bluetooth toggle slower to see if that avoids the issue.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
To be able to use Miracast Wifi needs to be enabled on your phone. However it's not necessary that it's connected to anything.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
There's not that many alpha Rootless users yet but mostly it's Google Pixel and Samsung S7 (edge) users. Using a Google phone with Android 7 has one big disadvantage and that is that you can only use Chromecast which requires a working hotspot. However even when the Chromecast has an internet connection via the hotspot it doesn't always show up in the list of casting devices which makes it impossible to cast. With a Samsung S7 you can use a Miracast device which doesn't require an internet connection, just a lot easier.

There's no indication that the dispatchGesture method is going to be removed from the accessibility service but of course Google can do what they want.

I would not update the firmware unless it's really necessary. In other words don't fix it if it isn't broken.

AR unchained with Android tv box

I have the box connected and touch screen works but is not calibrated. after calibrating touch doesn't respond at all i tried with no other apps and same. I removed and reinstalled and see no change any help.

Using the Android Box 8s plus. when using the standard app i can use iheart and waze no problem with touch screen on the apps.

any help

Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
In the settings of the app please check that 'Invert XY-coordinates' is enabled. If not please enable it and also do 'Reset calibration' from the app's menu. Finally if the app was connected to the head unit, please reconnect to apply the changed settings.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] papi231:
I tried this and still no response after calibration i tried and android XB-1 also
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
When you run 'Diagnostics' from the app's menu is there any of the top 5 ones not checked?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] papi231:
After resetting the HDMI cable the features work. I guess other question would be can i have original program installed because apps like waze and iheart work better from app radio then android alone or is there away to have it function as normal app sometimes

thanks again works great now

Very succinct and detailed responses. Love it! Thank you for the continued support and effort! Looks like I will be doing a new phone that is hackable just to be safe, but trying it without root first.

Hey guys, I posted in the TV stick thread and there hasn't been any activity over there so I am hoping someone here may have an idea on what I could do. I have the appradio 2 head unit and was using the mk809iii stick and all was working perfect. I upgraded to the mk903v stick and for some reason the bluetooth will connect but the arunchained app will not make the connection unless I unpaired from the head unit and then repair the connection. This happens every time my stick loses power, so I have to go into the settings and remove the connection, get my keyboard and mouse, then repair through Android.

Why is this happening? The Bluetooth will make a connection, but the I see the arunchained app in the notification bar will say that it is connecting, then switch to disconnected after 2 seconds.

Again sorry if this is the wrong place but I just spent a bunch of money upgrading everything and now I have no idea what is wrong.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
No problem to post here. There's no clear issue why Bluetooth would not connect. Something that may help is to clear the Bluetooth connections from the head unit and the one for the head unit from the stick and then set up BT again. If that doesn't help it may help to do a full factory reset of the head unit and then set up BT.

This can help as somehow the Bluetooth on the HU can get into a weird state that needs to be reset.

It's discussed in the FAQ of the user's guide (https://goo.gl/iYv1Qo):

On my Samsung phone not the whole screen is shown but a part is cut off

The default Samsung launcher doesn't handle landscape well. The solution is to install an alternative like Nova launcher or Apex launcher.

Thanks [MENTION=266368]area51[/MENTION] but i always use nova launcher! Maybe freezing Touchwiz with titanium backup?!

What about #4 and #5 from the FAQ?

4 The phone’s screen is displayed with black bars on top or at the sides

To fit the screen properly, 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 (so the black borders are not included), press preview and then Ok.

5 Screen adjustment doesn’t work

Please do not move the yellow lines to the max position but instead position them so that the black borders are not included in the area covered by the yellow lines.

Hallo,

i got an problem using ARU togetter with MacroDroid.

The automatic connection from ARU wont work if i have any command/macro togehter with ARU in MacroDroid. Even if i say, stop the audioplayer after disconnecting from the HU.

Any ideas or tips?

thanx in advance! =)

p.s. would it be possible to put some orders into ARU, like stoping an App or starting it togehter?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
First of all the new alpha (V0.35) with more predefined languages for the wireless casting support was just released and should be available from the Play store soon.

Sorry but I don't know what MacroDroid exactly does and don't have time to look into it.

Any additions are of course possible, it's just that it takes time which I would have to find.

Maybe take a look here: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=627670

With Google translate I can kind of understand what they are talking about. Some people there also had this issue.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pig Vomit:
This post specifically refers to the Rootless Alpha version. Never had this problem on the released rooted.

A user (Andreas B.) recently posted on the Google+ page about a similar problem with a different phone. I've been meaning to post about this for awhile. It happens on both the old Pioneer 1.11 firmware as well as the newly released 1.14 firmware.

When connected to my head unit with rootless and trying to play music from the phone, the audio has frequent occasions where there is a very brief dropout of music or whatever sound is coming is streaming from the phone. These dropouts last for well under a second, but it's very annoying and really makes listening to music a trying experience.

It doesn't matter whether I am using Google Play Music or SiriusXM app. Phone conversations do not have this problem. I've checked CPU, GPU and RAM usage during these incidents, and there is nothing of note. While writing this, it occurred to me that I haven't tried playing a music file stored on the phone to test that.....I will amend this post later. But most of my in-car listening is through the SiriusXM app. Mostly I'm playing downloaded On Demand shows that are stored on the phone, but it happens with streaming SiriusXM as well. It also occurs with audio navigation directions from Google Maps. As such I don't think the problem is with those apps. All these things work fine on my phone while not streaming to my head unit with ARU. Streaming using those apps to my Chromecast 2 attached to my TV also works fine.

Is there anything I can do to help shed more light on this for you? I can make a recording if necessary.

Using AVH-4000NEX with Nexus 6P (latest firmware, no mods, locked bootloader) and Chromecast 2.

One last thing.....your opening sentence on the Google+ page states current alpha is 0.03 (but correctly states 0.04 later in the post). Just a heads up.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
What Android version did you use with rooted version? Yes another user of the rooted version doesn't experience any issues with Android 6 but has issues when using Android 7.

Currently I have no idea what might be causing this. Is might be that just using Bluetooth while screencasting causes this issue. I don't think Rootless puts a very heavy load on the system that might cause this.

I will test this with my 5X, Chromecast & AR4 to see if I can reproduce it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pig Vomit:
I'm currently using the latest 7.1.1 with the Feb security update (N4F26O). It was doing it before Feb as well.

I'm holding off on trying the beta 7.1.2 unless there's confirmation that it helps/fixes the problem. There have been some discussions online that the beta has addressed some bluetooth connection issues.

While rooted, I was using the original ARU, not the rooted alpha/beta. I don't have an exact date so it's hard to day which Android version I last used rooted on. I unrooted and went completely stock 2-3 weeks before the first alpha release came out.....so it may have been on 7.0.0 and I've only used rootless on 7.1.1, but I'm not sure. I know rooted was running fine on 7.0.0.

The problem with going back to 7.0.0 or forward to 7.1.2 is having to wipe my phone, but I suppose I could try it next week when I have some time off. Just a pain in the butt to reload everything.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
I guess it will be a waste of time to go to a previous version of Android.

I did some testing. My Nexus 6 with Android 6.0.1 and the rooted version + Chromecast or Miracast, no issues. On My Nexus 5X with Android 7.1.1 + Chromecast, Chromecast connected to wifi router, no issues. Same setup but Chromecast connected to Android hotspot on 5X, no issues found either. I tried playing local music with Play music and at the same time opening some other app. Also opening Gmaps & activating navigation.

In short I can't reproduce the issue. This was in my office setup so there's less disturbance than in a car environment but if it was because of the app I think it would show the issue.

My 5X is only used for development so there's almost no other apps installed on it. Can the issue be because of some other app that you installed?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pig Vomit:
I doubt it. I'm not an app heavy guy and there really haven't been any changes.

I guess I'll take one for the team and try to do some experiments with different stock (including beta 7.1.2) Android installations with minimal app installs and see what I can find out. It won't be until next week. I suppose I can sign up for the beta today and get that out of the way as that won't wipe my phone.

************UPDATE************

I signed up for beta and have been using 7.1.2. This morning, there were some audio drops when I first started the drive to work, but seemed to be OK after the first couple of minutes. This was on a fresh boot, only ARU and Sirius running (no Maps). Checked CPU, RAM, no probs. Free Ram was around 40+%.

This evening, after no reboots all day, I started ARU with Google Navigation and Sirius running, free RAM was only around 16-17%. The drops were significant. I noticed before that the problem seems to be worse when free RAM is low. It has not been uncommon in the past to see RAM that low. After I close ARU free RAM does not increase significantly, suggesting that ARU itself is not responsible for the memory issues. Sirius also doesn't seem to be using much RAM.

I am by no means an Android or hardware expert. Would free RAM at only 16-17% be expected to cause audio drops like this? In the past I have also had audio drops when free RAM was at the 40+% level, but like I said, seems worse when free RAM is lower. Bottom line is that trying 7.1.2 beta didn't solve things. I can't run betas or out of date factory ROMs long-term due to security concerns, so I will be forced to go back to current factory soon anyway.

I will continue to try different things in the coming week, including clean ROM installs of 6.0, 7.0, 7.1.1, etc., with only ARU and Sirius apps downloaded and running in an effort to better diagnose and determine if the problem is caused by an app conflict.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bombername:
Which radiodo you use?

Because if there a sidepanel, which you can de- an activate it, you have to calibrate ARU everytime again.

Just decide if you us the sidepanel of your radio and than calibrate. after all dont change anything, use the panel on.

otherwise you have to calibrate it again.

is this a solution for you?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pig Vomit:
Yesterday I did clean installs of 7.0 and 7.1.1 and, after updating all of the built-in Google apps, installed only Sirius and ARU. Everything worked fine, no audio hiccups whatsoever. I've slowly been adding apps in an effort to see what may be causing the conflict. If I am able to diagnose, I will post again. It is worth mentioning that there was a single, very brief hiccup when my GPS signal was lost, but other than that, nothing.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
As you can see in the Rootless G+ community there's someone who also did some testing and his conclusion is that enabling 'Mock locations' causes audio hiccups. But I guess with you that's no issue as your head unit does have a GPS receiver.

Edit: But it is weird that GPS (from the phone I assume) in your case also seems to trigger an audio hiccup.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pig Vomit:
Just to clarify, the AVH-4000NEX (what I have) is the only head unit of that series that does *not* have a GPS receiver.

Mock location app is not currently set in Developer Options. I honestly did not check that setting before wiping and am not sure what it may have been set to before the wipe. It is possible that had something to do with my troubles.

To switch to the rootless do I need to unjoin the rooted community? Have a new phone on the way and your app is the only reason I am still rooted.

There's no need to unjoin the community however you should not have the Reloaded and the Rootless app installed at the same time as both will try to get a Bluetooth connection to the head unit.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Using the hotspot can be quite annoying as even when the Chromecast has internet access via the hotspot it sometimes won't connect. Also if the Chromecast loses internet connection it will stop casting. MS miracast V2 is one that works well for many users.

So far so good, just have to check some things as the hotspot doesnt turn on automatically. But that may be because I'm using an Honor8, it brings up the screen before where you turn on the hotspot.
