Just checked it, it only seems to allow to input gestures and not simple touches as are required for ARUR.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] petard:
I'm not an expert in Android programming but it seems like the GestureDescription constructor takes a Path and the Path can have zero length, making it a touch.

"Path: The path to follow. Must have exactly one contour. The bounds of the path must not be negative. The path must not be empty. If the path has zero length (for example, a single moveTo()), the stroke is a touch that doesn't move."

I guess no one is really an expert in this area, I am certainly not either. Anyway I think you are right and it might be possible.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] petard:
I assume dragging could be an issue as the app will have to read the drag from the AppRadio unit and then build the path and execute it. Short drags would be fine, but long drags would be very laggy.

It'll be cool if it works!

Yeah but I already started working on another way to make it work without root. Only need to find 40-80 hours to finish the prototype but unfortunately busy with too many other things.

I decided to buy a Chromecast. Almost everything is good. The only thing that I don't like is that the phone became very laggy when I use it with Chromecast. Everything else is perfect. I have to automate everything with Tasker and that's it.

I am running stock Marshmallow 6.0.1 with ROOT.

Hello,

I have Samsung Galaxy S5 and Pioneer SPH 210, everything used to worked fine until I have upgraded to Marshmellow, since then touch does not work.

any solutions for that? I already rooted my phone. Thanks

Can anybody advise me if its possible to have one phone (eg Galaxy S5) connected to the Headunit via HDMI/MHL for Music,Navigation etc etc, but have a 2nd phone (eg Galaxy S7) connected via Bluetooth for making/receiving calls ??

Ive got a Pioneer SPH DA-110 (Appradio 3) that im installing in a few days and plan to use this app on my S5..however i'll be upgrading to a S7 soon so plan to just leave the S5 in the car purely for this app. When that happens I want to obviously use the S7 for making/receiving calls as it will have my sim card in it.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Well, since your not asking I won't reply....

Basically I made quite some steps already. I made a native daemon that when run with ADB rights can inject a simple touch events. I added code to the app that generates the proper Android motion events. The only thing that needs to be done is to make a connection between the daemon and the app via a local socket. I already looked into some examples but my guess is that is still need 40-80 hours to implement it and test it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Skunkmaster:
Top 5 ones are checked, the installed as system app is not.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] slickric21:
Ahh so its possible great i will try it.

I notice that post mentions Appradio2 & 3.

Will the procedure work with Appradio4 (sph da120) also ?

Hi, guys. I am using the Galaxy S5 with DA110 and Chromecast and everything runs perfect.

But now I am considering buying Android stick, because I want to use the head unit separately from my phone.

So my question is: Which is the best Android stick? I saw MK809III, MK809IV (both 30$) and MK903V (80$)

I will be using it mostly with Spotify, Google Maps/Here Maps, Torque.

Is it worth it buying the expensive one or the MK809 will do the work (and which MK809 III or IV)

Or is there another stick that's better?

Thank you in advance.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
It can work with a Chromecast but it's a lot easier to use a Miracast device like the Actiontec Screenbeam Mini 2.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] astracd:
Just wondering why you recommend that Miracast device over all others?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
That Miracast device was reported to work well by some users with Samsung phones.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
When you are not connected do the following:

- Make sure that in the settings 'Invert XY-coordinates' is not checked.

- From the app's menu do 'Reset calibration'

Now connect and it should work.

Stuck on Listening for connection

Just here to add that sorted the no audio issue by using a brand new Genuine Samsung MHL 3.0 adapter.

Now im onto my last issue with this program that id like to try and sort out.

At the moment it currently takes me 10-15 mins to connect up and get past the "listening for connection" state. I probably only get past it 1 out of every 7 or 8 tries.

Is there any trouble shooting to help with this? My BT setting on HU is set to "others".

I have found that if I go to settings > bluetooth on my phone then click to edit the connection if I toggle the "connect to phone for calls" setting on/off/on and turn off the "connect as media device" then this can kickstart the ARUR connection to connect.... so im guessing its something to do with these settings.

What should the settings be in Bluetooth on my phone for the HU?

1) calls and audio ?

2) calls only?

Should bluetooth on phone be turned on or off when i first start up the HU and ARUR?

Edit/Update:

Ok i finally figured out a sure fire way to get past "listening for connection"

I have to manually disable then renable the bluetooth connection from within the HU settings.

Letting ARUR do it or doing it via the phone doesnt work.

But fiddly and time consuming everytime u start the car....but at least i know it can all work.

The process is this

1) turn on headunit, bluetooth connects automatically to phone

2) start ARUR app, press start...

3) ARUR disconnects then reconnects bluetooth.....gets stuck on listening for connection

4) Go to home screen on headunit, press Apps....get a black screen saying no connection blah blah blah

5) Press "bt settings" that shows up bottom of this screen

6) Disconnect then reconnect to headunit/phone bluetooth connection

7) ARUR finally gets past listening for connections !!!

Oh boy what a process to do everytime u get in your car :(

may need a new ARUR capable device, my appradio2 screen has been delamm'ing for about 8 months (not heat related, I live on the coast). What is the cheapest current unit that is working with ARUR? I ignored my current head unit for a long time because my commute was extremely short so it was a non-issue, but I am back up to multiple hours a day unfortunately. Currently using a nexus 6p on at&t.

I was happy with my appradio3 and the fantastic app arur

But my headunit died (most of pioneer will die by a black screen even the rest - including touches - were working) and I searched and found these units.

Sock roms are quite good but one user is releasing modded roms.

Swc works without any can bus decoder

Rear cam works even if the unit is booting.

Mirroring works very well. Tried by USB with my xperia z3 under 6.0.1

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
You are trying to connect 2 phones at the same time? It seems the AR4 doesn't have support for it.

What you can try instead of steps 4-7, is to switch to HDMI mode from Apps and back by hitting the Mode button of the head unit twice.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
The head unit has an input that when connected to the car's lights can dim the backlight.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] slickric21:
No just one phone. But ARUR will only go past listening for connection stage if I manually disconnect then reconnect the phone (bluetooth) from within headunit settings
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
If it's just one phone you need to enable Calls and Audio, also make sure Bluetooth on the phone is on so that toggle Bluetooth can do it's thing.

What might help is to clear the Bluetooth connection from both the head unit and the phone and then pair them again. It may also help to clear connections to other phones from the head unit.

In rare cases it was sometimes necessary to do a head unit factory reset to make a configuration that used to work but suddenly stopped connecting, working again.

Something that might also be an issue, is using a custom ROM.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] grandmasterorge:
Hi guys,

I am currently using a ARUR with a Wileyfox Swift (no MHL or Slimport to HDMI) with a chromecast in the back of the head unit for wireless connectivity.

In order to get this to work I have to enable hotspot on the phone for the chromecast, and then cast my screen and then run ARUR, this works nicely but due what I'm asking of the phone leads to dropped connections and laggy audio (Wireless hotspot + bluetooth + cast screen + ARUR on a budget device).

Is there a better current way of doing this, i.e. a better device than the chromecast where you can mirror your screen direct without having to generate a wifi hotspot?

Failing that my other option is to create an in-car WiFi hotspot, does anyone know if there is a cheap USB powered dongle router which will achieve this? Looking on Google or eBay everything is about creating wifi with internet access, i.e. it contains a SIM card whereas I literally just want to create a network so the phone can talk to the chromecast, it doesn't need any more functionality than that.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] slickric21:
Miracast is a better way of doing it as it uses wifi direct. The Screenbeam 2 is recomended alot on these forums.

However I didnt have much luck using Miracast myself, albeit with an Asus Miracast (the Screenbeam 2 was too expensive here in UK).

The problem I had was that to use Miracast on a Galaxy S5 you cant be rooted...... you need to be rooted to use ARUR though :(

There was a hack/workaround to enable it, editing the Build.prop file and disabling HDCP for wifi (google it) - however once i got it working i found it very laggy with audio dropouts so canned it (I test a non rooted Galaxy S6 and even S4 and they didnt lag at all using this device so can only assume the fact i was rooted on the S5 caused to to be laggy)

Plus the slow booting up of a Miracast device is anoying aswell.

As i want to upgrade my Galaxy S5 soon, my quest now is to find an upto date smart phone that

1) can be rooted easily

2) support MHL/slimport/USB-c to HDMI

So far ive found 2 phones, Sony Experia Z5 which uses MHL, and the HTC 10 which can do USB-C to HDMI (however dont know if the phone can be charged at the same time).

Rooting looks to be a pain on both phones though :(

Anyone else have any other ideas on a modern phone that can be used hardwired ?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] lpasq:
I may have missed it already discussed but is anyone using Alpha with Android 7.0? If so, any issues? I plan to flash 7.0 this weekend on Nexus 5X.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
It wasn't discussed yet. From the app's statistics I can see there's 34 users with Android 7.0 installed. I have not received any issues about that so my best guess is that it will work. Usually when there's a new Android version users will complain when there's an issue.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] slickric21:
I looked into LG G5, but as far as I can see you can only connect it up using USB-C -> HDMI to LG monitors, otherwise you get no audio.

Plus you cant charge it at the same time.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Maybe wait a bit, I am working on a version that can work without root.

Also I doubt that disabling HDCP will make the casting more laggy. It can also be because Bluetooth is used heavily. Last but not least, did you connect your Miracast dongle at the back of the head unit? If so a lot of metal can shield the signal causing more disturbances.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] slickric21:
No the dongle was on a hdmi extension lead in glove box next to the phone.

The rooted (therefor build.prop edited) Galaxy S5 lagged even when connected to a TV.

A non rooted Galaxy S4 was butter smooth, along with an S6 Edge.

This lead me to conclude the fact that the S5 was rooted and therefor using the hack to allow Miracast, was causing the lag somehow.

Again this was with a Asus Miracast Dongle... so the Screenbeam 2 may have been better, but spec wise they are similar 5ghz wifi etc etc.

At the moment im fairly content with using MHL >HDMI on my S5, bar the little workarounds I have to do get past bluetooth listening stage (as per my other posts).

The reason i tried Miracast is Ive got my eye on the future a little bit. I want to upgrade my phone...but for wired connection looks like S5 is going to be it.

For this reason im now considering going back to the darkside....a place where I never thought id return, but as my DA120 supports Carplay i really just want something that you plug in and it works first time.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] slickric21:
Just wanted to update this thread with my latest findings on the SPH DA120 appradio4.

You CAN have 2 bluetooth devices connected to this headunit, using one for ARUR and the other for Bluetooth Calls (not Bluetooth media audio though)

Basically set up your device that ARUR will control as device 1 on headunit. (My Galaxy s5)

Go to bluetooth settings on the device (Galaxy S5) and disable call and media.

ARUR will run on this phone.

Enable bluetooth on your 2nd device (the one you want Bluetooth calls for, Galaxy S4 in my test) and pair it with the headunit. Make sure in bluetooth settings on phone that call audio is enabled and access to phonebook granted. Note media audio is not able to be turned on though....but you would be using the 1st device via hdmi for media anyway.

ARUR is running on the 1st device, everything working.

2nd device is then purely used for phone calls.

(I wasnt able to get Bluetooth media audio working at the same time, but that is expected).

This now means I am free to upgrade to any phone I want as my Galaxy S5 will soley be used for running ARUR :)

I updated my rooted Nexus 6P to Nougat recently. I then made the build.prop edit to allow the "enable wireless display" option to appear on the cast menu options. I tick off that box and I am not able to cast to either my Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter or my Samsung Smart TV. Has anybody been able to make this work? I'd rather not have to go back to the Chromecast to make this work.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] slickric21:
You cant use Miracast on some devices when rooted. There is some layer of protection built in to prevent it.

Some devices can be made to work by adding this line with a text editor to build.prop "wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable" , then save changes

Please do the following:

Please enable 'Invert XY-coordinates' in the app's settings, then do 'Reset calibration' from the app's menu. Finally reconnect to the head unit to apply the changed setting.

Also (depending on your head unit) make sure that you select Apps and no HDMI as source.

Generally, everything works pretty well, but I am having one problem thats more of an annoyance then a failure to work;

When I connect my Samsung S7 to my Appradio 4, the bluetooth connects and I get past that screen fairly quickly, and I land on the homescreen for the Screenbeam Mini 2.

However, once I am there, it can take up to 5 minutes of my phone "searching" for a device to cast to before it finds the Screenbeam Mini 2. So on short drives, I dont even get the phone connected because it takes too long to establish a cast.

Any suggestions?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] CrossCroissant:
Already tried those settings. The connection is passing fine. Still as soon as i hit "Start" in the Unchained app im getting the Error. It doesnt matter if the Headunit is connected or not :(
