Sorry there's no way to do video and audio separately. It can help to have as less metal as possible between the Chromecast and the phone.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] AgentJz:
I thought the audio cut out was due to wireless scanning when new nearby wireless networks are in range? Seems to be the case with me.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kaliman43:
I turned off wireless scanning and it is still happening. I believe it is something with the Chromecast. I am going to remove it and try to re position it.

Hi there, I'm looking for the same apps but compatible with USB appradio. Because I'm using the sph-da120 with chromecast. If you have any solution

Thank you

Miracast or Chromecast? Which method do you think is best for full screen mirroring and why?

I have a OnePlus 3T by the way, so as far as I know, both methods are viable options for me.

Secondly, is there a wired option with USB-C?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
The SPH-DA120 is not an AppRadio USB head unit but a 'regular' one. This means you can use the current app. There's also an alpha version that can connect automatically to screencasting devices. For details see here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69029805&postcount=1772

about USB-C - the standard says that it can feed audio/video and there are cables for USB-C to HDMI (that car unit has), however almost no one implemented audio/video support on smartphone !!!

there is Google laptop, I think pixel, that has it implemented.

so, this isn't about which cable to use, but if your smartphone supports it !!!

you can read more from my original thread at hdmi-adapter-6p

pls. share when you'll find the solution.

Need a little help

Hi,

Pioneer AVH4100NEX

Screenbeam Mini 2

Samsung Galaxay S7

Nova Launcher

Just trying to get up and running.

I am doing something wrong (obviously)

HU set to Others / HDMI

When I start ARUR, almost nothing happens. I get the SU messages and then it hangs at Listening for Connection.

I have read the instructions (many, many times)

I did do the modification to the build.prop as suggested

What am I missing?

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
You did bluetooth pairing for the phone and head unit?

Did you select 'APPS' on the head unit? You can also select 'HDMI' and then hit the 'Mode' button on the head unit once to switch to 'APPS' mode. When 'HDMI' is selected the Screenbeam mini 2's screen should be displayed.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] myclejay:
Running AR Alpha on a N7 2013 (5.1.1), Screenbeam Mini 2 connected via HDMI on a 4100NEX.

In APPS on HU

Have selected 'Others' in Smartphone setup.

I can then register taps with all four points on calibration and with the default HU AR buttons on the left hand side while in APPS mode but I cannot get any taps elsewhere on the HU (i.e. attempting to open an app from the HU). I'm hoping I followed all of the instructions correctly.

Couple of other things -

1. Is there any specific config for the Screenbeam within it's own config utility app? I notice there are a few settings that could be of importance.

2. I also noticed was that I cannot check/uncheck any of the settings under Diagnostics.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
I think you need to enable 'Invert XY-coordinates' in the settings:

When the app is not connected make sure in the settings 'Invert XY-coordinates' is checked and do 'Reset calibration' from the app's menu, then connect and it should work.

Diagnostics just runs some checks and shows the results of that so there's nothing you can input there.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] myclejay:
Thanks man. So, without making that change you suggested I was finally able to get it to function. I had to uninstall the app, delete all BT connections on tablet/HU, reinstall/reconfig the app. Essentially I started over, just short of resetting tablet and HU.

Also, if you notice in the pics I am running Nethunter on my N7. Hehe, yep, I went there. I still need to config the attached external wireless card :good:

Hello friends of ARUnchained,

I'm using your great app since long time and it was great.

But now, my Xperia Z3 Compact is broken and I get a new (Xperia X Compact) phone.

This phone has no MHL/HDMI output and now I cannot use this

great Unchained-feeling no more.

Is there another way to get the app working or mirror the display and usability via USB and Bluetooth?

Android Auto is okay but not nice. Wanna use any of my installed apps like in ARUnchained mode.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

Or can I connect a dongle (chronecast/miracast) to my headunit (Pioneer AVH-X8700BT)?

Or does anybody know, if a usb-c to hdmi adapter works?

I've been holding off on buying your app since I have an S7 Edge and technically can root it but will lose Samsung Pay. I read a few posts back where you said that you have a non-rooted version almost ready for release on Android 7. When you release this you will get my money because I can install beta version of 7 for my phone. Also, I drive for a living everyday and constantly switch my car on and off. In your post you said it "will just work." Does this mean that some of the loading times and hassle with getting the app ready will be solved? If so this would be excellent. This is another reason that I haven't been using Appradio App in general. As much as I turn on and off my car, the waiting time is redundant and is just easier to bluetooth Pandora and carry on.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
'It will just work' is referring to that the hassle of rooting is not necessary anymore. The new app ('AppRadio Unchained Rootless') )also has the wireless screencasting automation support from the alpha version of Reloaded. So upon detection of the head unit's Bluetooth it will kick off the connection process and tries to start wireless screencasting. Of course it can't speed up the process (the Miracast or Chromecast device needs to boot first). Also because Google doesn't provide a way via a public API to start wireless screen mirroring it has to be done via GUI automation which isn't 100% reliable.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Yes the way forward is a wireless screencasting device. If your phone supports it a Mircast device would be the easiest to use. The alpha test version tries to automate connection to wireless casting devices. Unfortunately it needs to do so via GUI automation and the GUI of each brand is different. It works currently for Google, Samsung & HTC phones. Not sure if it works for Sony as well but you can try it of course.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dhchris:
Thanks for the informations!

I've bought a miracast device yesterday and try it the next days.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] petard:
Another cool no-root idea would be to just get android auto to work. Either with a hacked android auto app, or with having an android auto receiver app that interfaces with the appradio, basically a combination of ARU and HeadUnit for Android Auto. That would work on any 5.0+ device!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pig Vomit:
I am now unrooted for the first time in years, as Google has won the war against root (which, from a security standpoint, I understand). Trying to get by for now.

Hello friends,

Today i've got an actiontec screenbeam mini 2 Adapter but every time i'll try to connect

the Actiontec Screen appears on my Pioneer AVH-X8700BT.

But I cannot mirror the screen with ARUnchained (0.31).

Sometimes I get a short message that the output-device doesn't support HCDP!

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Well you don't mention any details about your hardware but my best guess is that it's hardware related. If you are using a cheap MHL adapter that doesn't have proper shielding it can cause RFI and disturb the phone's signal somehow. You can test it easily by only connecting the MHL adapter (and the power to it) and see if this causes the issue.

to automatize starting my Screenbeam connection (Miracast) and start ARU and CarHome after that.

At this monent, I start my car, plugin the Phone to my holder(with charger) then I open the quick-settings-menu, click to Screen Mirroring and start the ARU manually(don't know why ARU starts not autonatically).

ARUR should be able to launch on Bluetooth connection. There is a developer joaomgcd that has a bunch of tasker plugins that I had some luck with before I went to the alpha version. Sorry, it has been so long I don't remember exactly how I had it set up, but do know I used the autoinput plugin to launch some of it.

1) Which root method was used?

2) Which ROM and version of Android? Stock Rom? Cyanogenmod? 4.2.2? 5.1?

3) Original Samsung MHL adapter or Miracast? ScreenBeam Mini2?

Any adivice, assistance, pros/cons, caveats, etc. is greatly appreciated.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thomast1777:
I am not able to play any music through the app. The players such as Spotify show a lot of skips, hangs, and latency when attempting to play anything through aru. All occasional sounds come from the phone and not the head unit.

I'm on a rooted note4 flashed with 7.1.1. The head unit is an sph-da120 and it is connected to a mhl adapter.

After I spent all of this money for everything, I am being told that ARU won't work through anything else but Chromecast? Is that correct?

I am getting screen mirroring and touch control but that is it.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70482595&postcount=855
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
No that's not correct. ARUR only does handle the Bluetooth connection to be able to inject touch and button events. The phone is responsible for creating the HDMI output. If your phone supports MHL output that's what you can use. A Samsung Note 4 supports MHL so that should work. However you are using a custom ROM and those are not known for the best MHL support as usually MHL support is not tested well. Also it doesn't help to use a cheap a$$ MHL adapter. These can cause video snow and black screen issues. However the things you report are probably software issues. Finally please tell me that you are not using Screenstandby as this is known for causing issues like this but people still insist on using it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thomast1777:
Thanks for the reply. I am not using standby and I am using a genuine samsung MHL adapter. I will be putting it on the stock ROM later today, but it will be a week before I can provide the results. My car is going in for an engine replacement this afternoon. I'll let you know what happens.

I've been using AppRadio Unchained with an android stick on my Pioneer AVH-X8600BT radio and all worked fine, but i would remove that stick and use my smartphone instead.

So, i bought a miracast stick (http://pl.focalprice.com/EH0442B/M7...1080P_Android_TV_Stick_DLNA_Airplay_WiFi.html) and replaced it but i can't get image on my radio.

No signal on HDMI port :s

But if i connect it on my TV at home, it works like a charm with my phone.

So, there must be some incompatibility between this miracast stick and my radio or what can be causing this problem?

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
If you didn't forget to power the stick and the HDMI cable is ok, it can only be compatibility. The Pioneer head units are a bit more picky than tvs.

Ah......bliss.....or at least close to it.

I couldn't find a new thread for ARUnchained Rootless (Alpha), so I'm posting here.

Running on a completely stock, rootless Nexus 6P with the latest official ROM. Using it with 4000NEX and Chromecast 2015.

Am I correct in believing that the new rootless app is supposed to start the phone's hotspot automatically? I am assuming this because it does appear to kill the hotspot automatically when the radio is turned off. My hotspot just will not start automatically, doesn't matter whether I start with phone unlocked or not (yes, SmartLock is set up for this device). Everything runs pretty smoothly as long as I have the hotspot already activated upon Bluetooth connection. Am I doing something wrong?

Once connected, everything is functioning well (except for the Home button issue, which you already know about).

Thanks. I appreciate the continued development.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Yes, still have to make a new thread. Was just waiting anxiously how the first alpha version is holding up. Good it's not doing too bad.

Yes it's supposed to start the hotspot as well. A common misconception seems to be that 'Part of name to identify hotspot' that's by default set to 'Portable' has to be changed. However it should just stay at the default value. I think I have to change it to something else so people are less confused. If this is your issue, you are person number 3 to fall for that.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pig Vomit:
Yes, I did change "Portable" to the name of my hotspot. I've changed it back, and will report back tomorrow after I've had a chance to test it out.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] lpasq:
I did same thing. I changed from Portable only after I wasn't seeing hotspot auto launch. I get back to my car in about 8 days, so I can't test to run a logcat for developer. Please report if issue persists. Maybe log it too.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pig Vomit:
Changing it back fixed the main auto start issue for me. There are a few peculiarities/anomalies for me.

Already having a drop down window up when starting/stopping can interfere with the process.

Of most concern is a weird Bluetooth issue......which I'll discuss in another post when I'm not already late for work!

But overall working OK and I'm happy with it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] byproxy:
so i have an avh-x4800bs that runs appradio one... so as i understand it this program won't (unfortunately) work on my head unit. correct?

That said, is there another way by which one can utilize the phone controls over BT so i can navigate the phone via the head unit?

I DO have a chromecast set up and working nicely to cast my screen via hotspot. just would love to control the phone via the head unit now.

Thanks for the info!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Sorry but there's no workaround. I will be looking into adding support for AppRadio One. I purchased an AppRadio One unit just for that purpose. I already did some experimenting with that and it looks pretty complicated so not sure that it can be done within a reasonable amount of time. For now I can only promise I will spend some more time on it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pig Vomit:
I alluded to some ongoing problems with Bluetooth in my last post. They were solved by increasing the casting start delay to 2 seconds from 1 second.

The only other issue I've noticed is when I have a dropdown menu open when the connection to the head unit starts or stops, it can't turn on/off the casting and hotspot. This is more of an Android issue, I think. When I was using the rooted version with Tasker, I used to simulate a home screen tap before doing anything else. If that could be added as an option that a user could activate, this would likely solve the problem.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
That would be easy to add. Indeed if anything is in the foreground it's still possible to open app screens but as they appear in the background it's not possible to interact with those.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pig Vomit:
I would VERY much like to see this added. I never realized how much I have that pull down open when I start up and when arriving home (open to pause streaming music).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] HTaddiction:
Using Appradio 4, Samsung S3, ARU Alpha version & mhl adapter.

As far as I know, I'm using the official Samsung adapter. When connecting my phone to the adapter, "connected to hdmi" appears on the phone's screen everytime, ARU recognizes the hdmi connection, however 9 times out of ten the hdmi symbol on my appradio 4 does not light up and the screen says "display off". I have to restart my phone while connected to the mhl adapter to get the hdmi symbol to light and get everything working. Any thoughts on what problem might be would be appreciated.

Also, I could get everything working via miracast but unfortunately could not get my audio to sound right. I have an aftermarket speaker system with 2 separate amps ( one powers speaker, one powers subs). For the life of me I can't figure out why my subs don't power on when using a wireless adapter. I tried 3 different ones. If anyone else had this problem please let me know how you fixed it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Unfortunately it's not so easy to add without creating some timing issues. What pull down menu exactly do you have open that often?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
It seems behaviour that is similar to fake MHL adapter behaviour. Maybe you should check that it's real. For the differences see here: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2412756

If you have a custom ROM installed that can also cause issues. A stock rooted one is preferred.

Difference between MHL / Wireless can't be explained. The head unit basically has no way to detect the difference between a wired and a wireless connection.
