You could also use es file explorer with root
1-go to menu
2- select manager
3- select app manager
4- long press on desired app (drivelink)
5-select backup
6- app will be backed up in sdcard/backups/apps

I tried it o my xav-601bt...still getting the "USB device not recognized". Later I will go back to completely stock rooted and try again. I also tried the mhl adapter tip but I don't get any message, while it does charge my phone. Oh well, I just got off work I'm going to sleep. Hopefully someone can figure something out

I get the same thing with my completely stock Verizon S3 and XAV-601BT. I tried changing the phone USB connection setting from "connect as a camera" to "connect as a media device" with no change. The Drive Link app opens fine but when I select Mirrorlink from the head unit, it either says USB device not recognized or says reestablish USB connection. No change when I plug and unplug and exit and reopen Drive Link...

Just thought, have you updated your XAV601 head units? Sony released an update about 5 days ago to update it to allow/recognise the S3!

I'm betting it has something to do with that tmserverapp not being built into the us version of the gs3. You guys with the i9300 might be ok. Either way the xav-601bt is a bad ass unit because I don't even have to take the phone out of my pocket and when I turn on my truck it starts streaming Pandora on its own or streams all your music.

That explanation makes sense. Also agree 100% about the bad ass part. Even without Mirrorlink, this head unit is great. I primarily bought it for Pandora as well and it does an incredible job for that. If I had that capability on all of my cars, I would not be paying for XM/Sirius.

    Hello,
    I bought a new indash for my truck the Sony xav-601bt and it supports mirrorlink technology for gs3. Pretty much the unit becomes an extension of your phone all the way down to playing angry birds on it if you wanted to. However I cannot connect it and after searching and speaking to numerous Sony tech supports that had no freakin clue of what to do I found that Samsung neeeds to release the app for it to be compatible. If anyone has it or runs into it I would appreciate it if you posted it here. Its supposed to be released on 8/29 from a rumor I read. It goes by the name Samsung drive-link I believe. Any help is much appreciated

    I'm on it.

    I've done some 6 or so hours of decrypting the code in this app and have managed some simple customization's but I have not yet found the piece that automatically switches back to the DriveLink app when you manage to get out of it into the android operating system. I'm thinking it could be part of the mirrorlink apk that comes preinstalled on the phone. I haven't had the chance to decompile it and look through it yet but I will try to do it tomorrow if someone can post a link to it or PM me, if not I'll just yank it off my phone. I own both a GS3 and the 601bt so I'd like to get this working as well. I'll try to keep you guys updated but my work on this will be limited to a few hours a day since my wife and I just had our first baby.

    sooooo

    anyone tried deodexing stock rom??

    Ok I finally got this working the other day on a stock ROM without having to deodex. I used the following script to Odex the TMServerApp.apk to create a TMServerApp.odex for my stock ROM :

    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1879128&highlight=denied

    As there is a problem running some of the commands in the auto script I ran them manually until I found this link which was hidden in the original post :

    http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31874711&postcount=57

    It will require purchasing Chainfire's adbd Insecure v1.30 app as the standard Jelly Bean adbd doesn't allow most of the commands to be run in the Auto Odex script due to more security. Alternatively run the steps in the script manually like I did before I spotted the Chainfire modded adbd.


    So now I have a fully odex'd version of the TMServerApp.apk installed and it now works with my Alpine ICS-X8 :)


    I will be sending my donation shortly AuRoN89. Thanks for all your hard work on this.

    j0ep0 and I are going to collaborate and see if we can get this app tweaked the way we think it was intended to be run. I've setup a Github and plan on trying to convert the Smali files into a jar that can be compiled and easily changed. If anyone would like to contribute let be know in a PM. If you want a link the the github I'll post it up as well once we get the two files out there and are working.
