Did you install the app from this thread? What does it show when you start it?But when I try to connect to AUX in of my car radio the sound still comes out of the internal phone speaker.What am I doing wrong?
[HOWTO] Enable the car dock external audio without Samsung's Home apps
- Thread starter TheBeano
- Start date
Hi,
How did you actually manage to get this working on ICSSGS 4.2?
I've tried Glitch, Semaphore and Devil (which are all supposed to support dock audio since latest releases) in every possible combination with either TheBeano's DockSpeaker_1.1 and XCaliburinhand's Dock Sound Redirector (from the Market).
XCaliburinhand's app displays a warning that no supported ROM or kernel was found. It works for CM9 and AFAIR it used to work for Onecosmic's before the ROM got odexed (that was RC3, right?).
The dock sound support is the only thing that pulled me away from ICSSGS and keeps me with CM9.
What am I missing that makes it work for you? Please help...
It worked out of the box with Icy Glitch Beta5 and Semaphore 0.9.x with XCaliburinhand's app, version 1.8
I now tried it with teamics 4.2 and devil's 1.1.5. When snapping the phone into the dock I can hear a crack out off my speakers. When I open sound redirect app from this thread I tick "car dock" but nothing happens. Can't get it working. Maybe I try with semaphore again. Could it be a wrong cable as well?

Thanks a lot for such a quick response. I tried redownloading, wiping, flashing, reflashing etc. a few times but to no avail.
I'm wondering if this could be a matter of you flashing 4.2 over some previous ROM with dock sound capability (or rather Xcaliburinhand-friendly
vs. me coming from stock Samsung ROM via CM7, doing all the recommended wipes.Anyway, I decided not to investigate that matter any further and just stick to CM9. Still, thank you very much for sharing your experience.
I came from XXJVU with car dock not working. It only works since I use Icy Glitch and later Semaphore 0.9.x

Hi,
Here is the workaround for those who are unable to redirect sound using ICSSGS RC4.2 and XCaliburinhand's Galaxy Dock Sound Redirector:
Edit your /system/build.prop file and replace the following line
ro.product.manufacturer=unknown
with
ro.product.manufacturer=Samsung
Reboot, finished.
Confirmed working on Icy Glitch V14b5 kernel, should also work on other (redirection capable) kernels (e.g. Semaphore 0.9.x). Latest Icy Glitch kernel has now full voice call redirection also working!
Be extra careful when editing build.prop (create a backup of file etc.)!
Details: I checked the source code of Dock Sound Redirector on github and found that it checks if: 1. the manufacturer string is 'samsung' 2. /sys/devices/virtual/misc/dockredir/dockredir_support file exists and contains '1' in the first line. If any of these fails, will throw the error message.
In this thread, you'll find a CWM-flashable (latest) version of Google Car Home -- could be also interesting.
Have a nice day,
pn
Thanx! Finally works perfect! Had the wrong app for redirection.:thumbup:

I have read this whole thread. Has anybody got the phone to redirect out? This dock is pretty useless if I can't hear the phone on the road. Is there a rom that I can install that does this? I would prefer to leave the stock samsung rom 2.3.5 since this is a work phone and I would prefer not to screw it up. Any help would be appreciated.
After I managed to get dock sound working on my device I tried to do the same on my wife's galaxy. She is on darkys 10.4.2 with latest semaphore kernel. But unfortunately the dockredir folder isn't there? Do I just need to copy my folder to her phone or is there anything else to do? Help is again appreciated.

Phone: Galaxy SII 4G (i9210t)
Firmware: 2.3.6
Problem: Can trigger car/home dock fine. I get the pop through the audio out and it stops playing through my internal speaker when either is triggered, which suggests the audio is getting re-routed somewhere. Where that is, I'm not sure. I have no signal over D+ or D- (assuming they are commonly grounded to pin 5; which I believe is the case unless I have understood this ALL wrong).
Thoughts? If I toggle home/car off through the app, then the audio no longer stops playing on my internal speaker, which suggests something should be working.

Samsung seem to have broken the kernel car dock audio support again in 2.3.6. I recently switched from ICS back to stock 2.3.6 JW4 and car dock audio didn't work with this version. I'm not sure at what point it became broken again, the last confirmed working stock version for me was 2.3.3 JVP.
Thanks PerpetuumNobile!
I test to activate my sound via Car Dock on a I9000 with Tiramisu 1.9.6 by selecting the Glitch Kernel in AROMA installer (14.6B) and it works perfect. No need to edit the file, it is already edited as PerpetuumNobile recomended.
Maybe next week I switch to Semaphore to try it also there (1.1) with AROMA and Tiramisu its so easy to switch kernels and other stuff
Semaphore (1.20S) works also fine!
Update: Devil 0.94 works also fine so Glitch, Semaphore an Devil work perfect with Car Dock.

Hi,
I use
AllianceROM V1 i9000/i897 GGB 2.3.6 JW4 (former DarkyROM)
Car Dock Home V3
Galaxy Dock Sound Redirector
all works like a charm.

13Note: none of this works for the Car Dock in Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread (JVB, JVK, or JVO), due to a Samsung kernel bug/feature. It should work for the Home Dock. Car Dock output is fixed in Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread (JVP or later).
This will not work with any Cyanogenmod, Teamhacksung or other open source ROMs for any version of Android, including ICS, as it calls a closed-source Samsung module that will not be present in these ROMs.
Samsung's docks have external audio outputs that are connected through the phone's USB port. These outputs don't work unless you use the latest versions of Samsung's Desk Home and Car Home apps (kindly provided by an XDA user here for those that can't download them from the market).
Unfortunately these apps are not the greatest, especially Samsung Car Home. I wanted to use Google Car Home, so I did a little reverse engineering and discovered that Samsung's apps use this Android Intent to switch the external audio output on and off:
name: com.sec.android.intent.action.INTERNAL_SPEAKER
extra: state
extra value (Integer):
0 = off (sound through phone's internal speaker)
1 = on (sound through dock external port).
You can use this in a couple of ways:
1. Through Tasker: create a profile with context Docked and an Intent action as follows:
Action: com.sec.android.intent.action.INTERNAL_SPEAKER
Cat: none
Extra: state:1
Target: Broadcast Receiver
Or, if you don't want to use Tasker:
2. I created a tiny app (attached) that triggers this intent when the phone is docked and undocked. I've only tested it with the car dock but it should work with the home dock as well. It doesn't create a background service or use any memory normally, it just gets launched and switches the external audio output on whenever the phone is plugged in to the dock.
Update: v1.1 now has separate settings for home and car docks.
Known versions where Car Dock output doesn't work:
* Android 2.1 (all versions)
* Android 2.2 prior to JPX kernel
* Android 2.3.3 (works in 2.3.4 JVP)
Ringtone and caller voice audio does not go through the external port, only music player output.
I've only tested it on the I9000 but it should work with all the Galaxy S variants, at least all the ones that work with Samsung's Dock apps anyway.
Warning: There is a nasty "crack" when the audio output is connected so you may want to have your stereo's volume turned right down.
If you find this app useful please donate to the CyanogenMod developers: go to this thread and click the link under "SUPPORT US".3Hi guys,
I wrote Pawtip to include the Patch from ICS into JellyBean.
He answered me and said that the new Nightly (cm-10.1-20130225-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd.zip) will get this Patch.

Yes, download the "Stock+Ext4 Kernel JVP - Gingerbread 2.3.4" from the first post in that thread and flash with Odin or Heimdall.
If your Lagfix is just ext4 (no jfs etc.) you don't have to turn it off.
If there's a weird voice at boot: that's the filesystem conversion. If there's none, all is fine, too
