I am finding I have to leave the OK message on the HU until I hear the beep of it connecting coming from the HU. Then I can click OK and then the green Android apps button. I will then see the Microsoft Wireless adapter ready to connect and a few seconds later the connecting message.

If I click on the OK message whilst its doing the handshake it is very hit an miss as to whether the ScreenCast happens properly.

I am not using SecondScreen yet as it is not quite consistent enough. Will enable that later when I have it nailed.

Other than that, I will still use Tasker to set car mode to switch to carhome ultra.

Not sure for Marshmallow as they changed the way mock locations work. Try it without first, checking it is injecting GPS readings and let us know.

Man that really sucks that the Note 5 doesnt have MHL anymore... I am already rooted though. So your saying miracast is the most stable way to go and where can I get a Miracast adapter ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
Nearly all of the newest phones have dropped MHL and gone to screen casting.

Amazon, Ebay etc all do them. I'd do some research though on which ones people have found to work. Belikin seems to be the best one, Microsoft's seems to work as well. The other option is Chromecast, although that needs an insternet connection (so wifi hotspot off your phone which must have a 3G/4G signal on start up).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ckessler235:
Damn, should have kept my note 4 smh lol ... love my Note 5 though. It sucks that everything is geared towards crappy IPhone haha
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
There's also an issue with Samsung that several people reported that only the Screenbeam Mini2 Miracast works when the phone is rooted. Others like the Microsoft and the Belkin do not work. So for a Samsung phone the Screenbeam is recommended.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
It should work by just turning on Bluetooth and then switching on the head unit. However I found that it sometimes detects the casting device and clicks it in the casting screen but then doesn't seem to connect.

Apparently you are encountering the same issue. Maybe I should delay the click a bit or just click twice, not sure yet. Pre Android M accessibility seemed a lot more stable.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
Ah yes, forgot the Screenbeam.

---------- Post added at 08:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 PM ----------

Thats what I get if I don't leave it on the OK screen, sometimes it just stays on the cast screen and doesn't connect. I have my delay set to 20 seconds as you recommended in the Alpha Google+ group and the adapter is up and running by the time ARUR opens the Cast Screen. Is it worth trying to change that timer to see if it helps?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ckessler235:
oh I was just looking on Bestbuy website to see if they had something if so I wanted to run out and go get it (very impatient) lol i put in miracast video adapter and all kind of stuff popped up. just wanna get it working wont have time once i go back to work tomorrow lol

You will then need to join the Alpha group on Google+ to get the latest test release which is looking to automate the wireless connection process. Alpha Group is at https://plus.google.com/communities/108835433120083901102
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
That delay is used because I noticed with the Miracast and I think it was a Samsung S4 that it stops scanning after a while when you are in the Cast screen and the Miracast is still booting. So the idea is that you kind of set the delay to the time it takes for the Miracast device to boot or a bit longer. If your device already booted setting the delay longer probably won't help.

It stays in the cast screen until it sees the named adapter with the required status. After detecting this it clicks the adapter and then closes the cast screen. If the GUI never updates it will stay on that screen. What also happens sometimes is that the all the right conditions are met and then the adapter is clicked but somehow this is not registered.

Unfortunately it all seems more complicated than it really should be. It's all because of the Android security restrictions. Screen casting and even switching on the hotspot can only be done via the GUI.

Re: Microsoft Miracast today...

[MENTION=324146]400ixl[/MENTION], I am using 20 delay with SecondScreen and not running into issues like dark screen freezing me out prior to BT handshake. On occasion, phone screen will dark prior to cast but cast seems to follow.

[MENTION=266368]area51[/MENTION],the hang is at Cast, as you said. It seems like .28 played better on N5 5.1.1 when using Miracast. For now, BT on with 20 second cast delay setting, don't select HU "OK" prompt if phone not detected, if that is case, wait for HDMI connection beep then select "OK" if still prompting. (the alpha is very promising in deed!)

Question about the Asus Miracast Dongle. Asus claims their dangle will still cast if device screen is powered off. Is this the case when casting WiDi to phone and ARUr Bluetooth?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] RRSpikes:
I can't comment on the Asus Miracast Dongle because I haven't used one yet, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

I cast from my Note 4 with its screen off and control it from my radio's touchscreen using a Screenbeam Mini 2. The caveat is my Note 4's lock screen setting has to be set to 'none'.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mika4real:
Hello, eventually I switched from ARlib to ARUR, connection works like a chram with AR2, Nexus5 on Marshmallow and Slimport adapter. Only thing thats bugging my right now is GPS Injection. When I open GPS in ARUR it says "not injecting". I've set ARUR for Mock Locations in Developer Settings of 6.0 and tried to make ARUR a system app by using the paid version of titanium backup. titanium backup though was stuck processing, but after a phone restart ARUR showed up as system app. Has anyone solved this problem? With Injection working, will I be able to switch off the phone's GPS to save battery?

Trying to get AR Unchained reloaded working on my Tmobile S6 Edge on 5.1.1 on an AppRadio4.

Anyone have any suggestions? Obviously the HDMI port is no longer an MHL port, so I cannot use that.

I bought a screen beam mini2 to screen mirror to my screen to the appradio 4. I had a rooted S6 Edge, but then I found out that screen mirroring wouldnt work if the kernel wasnt stock.

So now I have no clue what to do. If I root my phone, I'll have to use a custom kernel.... which will not work with screen mirroring.

So is there ANY way to get an S6 Edge to work with app radio and ar unchained reloaded?

Hi Area51,

I got to my car and I start arunchained reloaded, it connects through Bluetooth, I hit start and it displays waiting for connection, I connect the MHL adapter but the icon on the headunit remains greyed out. And that is it.

I uninstalled it, i got a refund (I just wanted to reinstall it), I reinstalled the app, rebooted the phone, and it is the same. The icon on the headunit does not even display trying to connect to the phone.

On the phone I can see it is connecting because I get the MHL symbol in the taskbar.

The phone is working with standard appradio app.

L.E.

Rebooted again, tried again and it is now working.

So for the moment all is ok with the paid version, touchscreen ius working.

Hi I read the OP and the play store description, but I am still not clear on what kinds of cool things I can do with this app. And doesn't the chromecast allow mirroring already?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Mirroring is always possible but the app allows you to control any app on your phone from the head unit's touchscreen. Doesn't sound like a big deal until you try the Pioneer app. It only allows you to use a few special adapted apps.

Hi Area51.

I have a question for you and all the users.

Is there any way to return to Headunit main screen where i can access the Radio while using apprado unchained reloaded?

If I push 1 time the home button, it just takes me to the phone's main screen. IF i push it 2 times it brings up the lower shortcuts bar, if i push the empty rectangle nothing happens, I can only start or stop music, hit mix, and other buttons.

With the AR2 you can't return to the main screen by using just the HU's buttons. The Reloaded app has a Home widget for that. Just put it anywhere on your home screen and when hit it will take you back to the HU's home screen.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
What Android version do you have? If it's not Android M, all you have to do is to run 'System app enable' from the app's menu once. If you open the menu again it will show 'System app disable', meaning it's activated.

If you then run 'Diagnostics', 'Can switch mock locations' should be ticked.

If you press the mix button you will see the radio option, select that and it will play the radio over the app screen.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] magicland:
Probably depends on what HU you're using. On my 4000NEX, you just push the HU's "Mode" button to toggle between ARUR and the regular radio functions.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Yes many Samsung users have that issue. Since the phone has a dedicated Menu button there's no menu shown in the app's GUI (the three dots) which makes many Samsung owners forget there's actually a menu available and that it can be accessed by hitting the menu button.

May have found a solution for the screen brightness on the AMOLED screen on the Nexus 6P. Need to test it further, but it involves a free app and tasker.

Install the Screen Dimmer app from the play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sebmorand.brightcom

Run the app and set the dimmer to the level you want (slide to the right gets dimmer, start / stop button at the bottom to test)

Once happy there are some intent tasks you can set up to switch it on and off.

In tasker add a a task > System > Send Intent - Settings are:

"Action:sebmorand.brightcom.action.START" and "Target:Service" with everything else left as is to switch the settings ON

"Action:sebmorand.brightcom.action.STOP" and "Target:Service" with everything else left as is to switch the settings OFF

Have a go and see if it works for people and feed back. I will try it later in the car to make sure it doesn't dim the HU display as well, but it works on the phone itself.

Edit...... unfortunately the filter dims the hdmi connection as well.

Can confirm auto switching mock locations works on Android M on Nexus 5 if you convert the app to a system app.

Followed the steps on the other "[MOD] AppRadio Unchained" thread using ES file Explorer.

moved the apk from "data/app" to "/system/priv-app" and reinstalled.

Now diagnostics shows "installed as system app" and "can switch mock locations" as checked.

Also had to add Unchained in the in the mock location settings in the developers options first before it worked.

My Verizon Note 2 with PdaNet and Foxfi recently stopped connecting to my Pioneer NEX

My Verizon Note 2 with PdaNet and Foxfi recently stopped connecting to my Pioneer NEX4100 via Chromecast. Looks like Verizon may have blocked access to hotspots without a subscription. Anyone else experiencing this?

I am running a rooted stock ROM.

I did pick up a Screenbeam Mini 2, but, haven't had a chance to try it yet. Does it also need WI-FI to connect? Are there any other apps still tethering via hotspots on a rooted Verizon phone with UDP?

Thanks in advance.

Can anyone discuss advantages (if any) of the Screenbeam Mini 2 over a Chromecast? If no advantage, the Mini 2 is going back to the store.

Does the Mini 2 require a Wi-Fi network connection to function?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] docquinton:
The screenbeam mini 2 does not require an internet connection to function and the touch delay is minimal, close to what you would see with a wired connection. It uses WiFi direct to receive audio/video.

However, as I have found out with my G3, using it with AppRadio unchained can present problems if your phone doesn't like simultaneous Bluetooth and WiFi connections. It will lag the more you interact with the screen. I am returning my mini 2 for this reason.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
A fix for this issue is going to be released soon. With Android M it's not necessary anymore to give the app 'system app rights' or convert it to a system app. The only thing that needs to be done is to set 'ARUnchained Reloaded' as 'Mock location app' in the developer settings. It works on my Nexus 6 and a guy is testing it now on his Nexus 5.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Not sure but that's step 2. Step 1 is difficult enough already. What apparently needs to be done is to create a native daemon that starts a JVM and then call the appropriate java SDK stuff to be able to inject events. This is not a walk in the park as of course the various libraries that are needed for this are not accessible by default. So it will be a while till we get to step 2.

this related to the Nexus 6

as many know you can make a simple build prop edit to connect to miracast devices. i've used this daily with my appradio. this week i finally upgraded to marshmallow. now, even after the build prop edit my n6 will no longer connect to my miracast devices. i can see the devices just find and it says connecting but never connects.

is anyone connecting successfully? i'm going nuts here. at first i thought i must need a firmware upgrade on the miracast i was trying to connect to. however, it will not connect with my roku either. so two devices that will not connect.

EDIT ok i figured it out. stupid SElinux mode must be set to permissive for it to work
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
Only on the free version. Support the dev with the paid version and Selinux does not need to change. But even then, that is for touch not miracast to work.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
Few factors there, what phone? Wired connection will be better obviously, but WIDI is pretty reasonable as well. Part of it will be down to the quality of the file being played. But the AppRadio's are not really audiophile units, they are OK, but do not have the range of controls for top end audio.

You can certainly get perfectly good quality for most people even over WIDI.

Marshmallow N5X comment: Not confirmed with any testing or log review but it seems that 'deep sleep' battery tender feature of my device might cause Miracast connection issues under a specific scenario. It is related to when car turned off, phone left untouched in vehicle for enough time that it enters deep sleep, then returning to vehicle and starting car. This scenario will not see ARUr alpha complete a BT connection. Solution seems to be assigning the AppRadio as Trusted Device in Smart Lock under Security in Android Settings.
