[JeffDC]

Thank you!

Hello,

I'm testing ARUR with SPH-DA120 and Ugoos U007B stick Android 4.4. ARUR is installed as system application. It starts on boot and connects to HU ok but does not receive touch events correct. When I calibrate the touch screen, the first red point is detected correct others aren't. If I press on the red point, touch is not detected, if I press anywhere outside red point, touch is detected and ARUR shows next calibration point. In result no touch events in Android.

When I tested ARU for sticks (arunchained0.15stick.apk), touch events transferred properly.

Are you sure that's all that is required for converting to a system priv-app? Last time I did it, a library file needed to be transferred as well.

That is why I said to use Root Browser rather than ES File Explorer or Titanium. You select what looks like the APK file and move it, then set the permissions. Job done nice and simply.

It does in fact move the whole folder so all of the files get moved in one clean action.

So yes I'm sure that was all that I had to do. Otherwise it wouldn't have worked

You need to enable 'Invert XY-coordinates' in the options and then reconnect to activate it.

Thanks, that helps.

New issues:
1. I don't get GPS locations. ARUR's GPS menu shows zeroes. Mock location enabled globally. I tried "Do not switch Mock ..." options off and on, reconnected, nothing changes.
2. Sensitivity of touches on bottom edge of the screen is very low. Bottom edge means the area bellow bottom calibration points.
3. Stability of reconnects of AppRadio after reboots and cold starts is low compared to arunchained0.15stick.apk, especially when Hands Free Bluetooth profile is disabled on the stick. "Workaround for wrong channel ..." option was tested with no result.

The library file was in a separate folder, so that doesn't actually answer the question. It must have been an alpha thing. You can move folders with ES, too. The permissions thing also should be updated in your post still if you want it to function as an FAQ, I think.

I see no Chromecast warnings. The only warnings I do see are from the Pioneer AppRadio itself. Also, I have to use an app called "#MirrorEnabler" in order to get the "Cast screen" option in the Chromecast app as the OnePlus is not an officially supported device.

As far as the audio is concerned, I would say the quality is equal to bluetooth 2.0. I listen to sport talk about 95% of the time i'm in my car so its not enough to out weigh all the other benefits. you can stop here or...

you can read this if you want a bit more information about my opinion with regards to audio quality...

i have factory speakers with an external amp & sub connected to the appradio. Also, my vehicle is performance oriented so my cabin noise is above average. With all that said, there is still a discernible difference in the below scenarios and I would rate the "cast screen" audio as on par with bluetooth 2.0

#audio and video compression over wifi with phone as the source
appradio + chromecast cast screen + oneplus = good

#audio and/or video compression over wifi with chromecast as the source
appradio + individual app casting (ie Netflix, Play Music) = better

#potentially no compression depending on the source
appradio + directly connected media (ie dvd, cd,usb,hdmi) = best

Now, replace the appradio with my home theater system in the above scenarios and I would rate all three higher.

I'm experiencing completely unusable bluetooth audio while using the Samsung allsharecast with the one plus one...

Drop outs and skipping is horrendous....

That was all I had to do. Didn't have to move anything else.

2. Sensitivity of touches on bottom edge of the screen is very low. Bottom edge means the area bellow bottom calibration points.

I hide the bottom Android bar with buttons and recalibrated the screen. Bottom calibration points were shown on the bottom of the screen and calibration process was ok but still no reliable touches on the bottom.

3. Stability of reconnects of AppRadio after reboots and cold starts is low compared to arunchained0.15stick.apk, especially when Hands Free Bluetooth profile is disabled on the stick. "Workaround for wrong channel ..." option was tested with no result.

By now it seems not critical...

can you add a Option to force enable Bluetooth on Start up?
On my mk809iii sometimes Bluetooth turns off after reboot.

Switched off bluetooth and started the app on mine and it asked to switch on bluetooth. So it does do it, but may be an issue for you I guess as the stick doesn't have a screen to see and approve the request.

However, haven't tried the on HDMI connect which would also do what you need as I'm not near the car at the moment.

Tasker can also be used to switch it on on boot of the stick.

Yes but on an Android stick i cant touch the display without Bluetooth connection.

You appear to be the only one with this issue, there are lots of stick users and if this was an issue there would be lots of noise. There isn't, which suggests its a setting in the ROM you are using.

As I said, Tasker can be used to fix the issue if you can't find a way to do it in the ROM itself.

See page 34 of the 8650 owners manual to adjust the screen. Samsung phones require an alternative launcher (Apex, Nova, Google Now, etc) to properly display in landscape.

Press the home button twice to remove/display the on screen menu. This takes a bit of practice but you'll get the hang of it quickly.

What head unit are you using?

No one has reported this before, might also depend on the head unit you are using.

@Area51©
Do you suggest any rom for the mk809iii.

 

[NK2014]

What head unit are you using?

SPH-DA120

I didn't have the same issue with arunchained0.15stick.apk

Do you still have issues with the GPS data being zero?
