FRIGGIN CHAMPION GENIUS IDEA of scottsdca
get Settings.apk from here:
http://www.glassxe.com/2013/05/23/s...-from-the-hacking-glass-session-at-google-io/
UPDATE: original article is gone. check archive.org if you want to read it. but you can still get the Settings.apk here
don't bother with the Launcher2, all it does is crash immediately. although if you have a thing for apps that crash immediately, well then there you go. could be it's a year old and maybe we need to try a 4.2 launcher.
like the article mentions, nearly all of the Settings stuff just crashes (plus, some of it I'd be scared to mess with anyway for fear of messing up spamazon settings)
I don't have any 4.2 devices (aside from ~ firetv obvs), but if anyone else does (like standard-ish non-weird device... e.g. generic tablet or phone?) - would you mind pulling settings and launcher apks please? they might be more suitable and less crashy...
I haven't done much but so far I have a bluetooth speaker paired, connected, and WORKING - sound is coming out the BT speaker and not my TV.
even fired up PrimeTV and sound was as normal, only it was the BT speaker.
xbmc? darn right the sound is coming perfectly out of the BT speaker.
now I turned off the BT speaker, and sound is coming out the TV again. seamless as it should be.
turned the speaker back on, and it autoconnected, all fireTV audio is back on the BT speaker again.
no luck with BT keyboard just yet, and have other settings to still mess with...
(also: the spamazon settings are all still there and all still work as before)
slightly more useless info:
it seems like anything that needs a PIN code still doesn't work.
which is hilarious for 2 reasons:
- the PS3/BD remote does not use a PIN. but so far every android device I have, asks for a PIN for it. the workaround app for anything up to android 4.1.x (i.e. bluez) is great. but firetv is 4.2 and that app doesn't work with the new bluedroid.
- my BT speaker that is currently working (BEM Cube), also does not use any PIN. but it is different somehow, in that android understands in this case, and pairs without asking for any PIN.
Settings shows the BEM Cube's profile as media audio, as expected.
if I try to pair my BT keyboard, the firetv BT settings gives me a PIN to type on the kbd. but the firetv pairing dialog sits there waiting forever no matter how many times I type ####+Enter on the kbd.
if I try to pair my phone, both the phone and the firetv pop up a dialog with matching numbers, but after I press OK on both dialogs, nothing happens. (sometimes the phone says incorrect / missing PIN, afterward. but not always)
if I try to pair my Supertooth Disco speaker, the firetv asks me for a PIN. in this case the PIN is most definitely 0000. but after entering that, nothing happens. not even any error message.
so it seems to be a generic passcode issue? I haven't looked at logcat yet...
I really wanted to try the Disco because it has some extra controls on it. the BEM Cube only has Play/Pause - which does work correctly in both xbmc and PrimeTV.
addition: I found my crappy old Arctic P311 headset (audio has 0.5s lag on every single desktop, laptop, console, phone, etc. I ever tried it on, that's how cheap+awful it is.) - it also happens to be PIN-less (in the good way like the BEM, not the bad way like the BD remote. whatever the hell that means.), and it paired right away with firetv. and then connected with no problem. it has a play/pause button, and also ff + rewind buttons. all the buttons worked as expected in PrimeTV and xbmc. whee.
also, the P311 shows up in Settings with both a media audio profile, and a phone audio profile. nice.
///
after a ton of times connecting/disconnecting the Cube (only because it was stupid fun and made me smile for some reason), started to get a few sound artifacts, some out of sync a/v, and eventually no sound at all on BT (but still perfectly normal sound on HDMI). probably also worth a look at logcat. I also wonder if all the messing around with the other BT devices that all failed, caused any instability.
restarting BT seemed to clean up the audio weirdnesses -
the settings app WILL let you turn BT off and on, just be careful lol. it scared the heck out of me the first time.
- turn BT off. BT goes off. settings app crashes. uh oh! wtf am I gonna do?
- run settings app again. toggle BT on. settings app crashes. oh no! am I seriously screwed now?!
- run settings app again. BT button is blue/on! waow! Thank Crom!

'developer options' was the very first thing I tried - sorry, no dice (
it, and most of the other settings items, only crash the app.
the only things that work (or semi-work), are:
bluetooth
sound (changing the ringtones is ok, but trying the volume setting crashes)
display (didn't try any of these)
battery (uh huh)
location services (uh huh)
security (but no way am I touching any of those)
dock (yeah, no...)
date&time (it's right, why mess with it)
about phone (tells us stuff we already know)
I haven't really tried to change anything in any of those (except bluetooth obvs) - nothing terribly useful to change, so, to me, nothing else there worth the risk of breaking anything.
the unknown sources box is usually found under security not developer options, but that may crash too

duh me, ugh. yeah you are totally right.
ok, so it is there on the security subsection if I scroll to the bottom.
but, yep, it crashes back to the main settings page. that's unfortunate.

no worries it was definitely worth a try.
ok.
so.
I just had a really stupid idea.
even worse, it actually works. but not sure it's worth making a separate post about.
1. turn on adb wifi debugging
2. sideload your favorite terminal, e.g.
http://jackpal.github.com/Android-Terminal-Emulator/downloads/Term.apk
3. fire up said terminal
4. adb connect localhost
(LOL!)
5. profit? profit!
$ adb -s localhost:5555 install foobarbaz.apk
$ adb -s localhost:5555 shell
...
not as quick or classy as unknown sources, but you can do it all within the firetv and don't need an extra phone or computer. so... kinda not too bad?
///
edit:
the reason I use "-s localhost:5555" is that in some cases the firetv already had an existing device listed, "emulator-5554". which may have been the result of not disconnecting adb from my laptop, or just the fooling around I was doing running adbd and adb on the same device, or...?
once you are in the terminal app, run "adb devices" first. if it already shows emulator-5554, then you don't need to connect a second time and can just use adb normally. if it does not show any existing device, then you do need to "adb connect localhost" but then in that case you should not need to specify "-s whatever" and also just use adb normally.

sorry brother, no dice I tried 4.1 and 4.2 versions too, but not really surprised it didn't do much
from what I remember of dmesg output, the firetv kept requesting a pin over and over, and not getting one

I tried pairing a keyboard and got a PIN dialog on the FireTV, but entering the PIN on the keyboard failed. adb logcat showed that the pairing request had been cancelled immediately after the dialog appeared. Perhaps some Amazon modification to the low-level Bluetooth stuff? Interestingly, despite being 4.2 based, Amazon are still using the BlueZ stack rather than Google's own implementation.

It is my understanding that Android now tries to auto guess the PIN to make pairing simpler. Perhaps the pin on your cube is 0000 or 1234, the standard pins, hence the non need to pin pair it.

Hi,
Every one the settings apk does work and you can check the unknown sources box to allow installation of any apk without sideloading!!
You need the settings.apk and you have to tweak a system app. Cant give out all my secrets but it works I can install apks from any market, drop box or even when downloading from a web browser.
Fire TV is the stuff!!! Hope fire tv 2.0 offers HD audio and 4k compatibility and of course more memory :good:

Hello all,
The market helper does allow for any installation of any Google Play Store app however does not allow installation from "unknown sources".
If you would like a tutorial on how to get this working please let me know and I can try to assist for a small donation to charity. Thanks.

This is the one i bought:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KNPRJ10/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
its dual core - way more then enough to put in the car.
rooting the stick took me a while to find the right method for this specific model, but i got it and it worked like a charm. rooted in 1 minute. If u guys end up buying the same stick i will upload and write instructions.
i have the App Radio 3 with the pioneer original android cable kit which is perfect.
it give power to the stick and it is connected via HDMI.
there are other custom ROMS for this stick but i found them useless to my needs since all they do is claim that 1080P support is better improved, which is irrelevant to our case since we never gona stream 1080P in the car.
i set up my google account and it took me roughly 1 hour to get everything set up the way my phone is...
since its an android stick and im not afraid of battery drain i put a live wallpaper on it which was cool.
it get internet via my phone tethering, works like a charm.
the first initial set up needed a keyboard and a mice. after that i also purchased one as a backup:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AIHYHJA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
just to have it in the car, just in case...
also dont forget to buy this if u are using an HDMI cable coming out of ur App Radio:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004PVW1DE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
other then that ARU-Reloaded worked perfectly on that model,
sometimes the stick BT get disconnected , u know like any other software they all got bugs, but after 10 seconds its reconnect and ARU - Reloaded recognize that and reconnect automatically.
ARUR is set to start on boot so all i need is to turn the car on and i measured 1.30 minutes till i get touches.
GPS always worked for me with zero issues when ARUR is connected.

I just ordered the stick that you linked on Amazon. Should be here Saturday. I'll definitely need to pick your brain on rooting this. Are you running constant power or is it shutting off every time you shut the car off?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
@m.a.s.e
Did you install GPS Injector? Are you using Maps?
Sent from my LG-VS980 using Tapatalk
to answer your questions:
1. i am using ARU reloaded hence the injector app is pre installed and no need for a separate app. i am using google maps, but any other GPS app will work. The stick get immediate GPS lock on my car with no issues.
With ARU-R (reloaded) you can configure some settings like auto start on boot etc... There are some recommended config for sticks and that works great for me.
2. ill gather the root files and write a txt with short instructions and upload to this forum for those who buy the mk809III and want to root it.... its simple and require 3 reboots of the stick... overall roughly 2 minutes work. after that u are rooted.
u will need a keyboard and a mice in ur car for the initial setup, after that ur good.. (connect to the car BT) .
3. I am connected to power with the AR3 android KIT, each time i turn off my car the stick loses power. From starting the car to full connection i measured 1.45 minutes. which is not bad.
i looked at connecting the stick directly to the car battery but honestly 1.30 minutes is not bad at all...
4. if you are using an HDMI cable from ur AR HU to ur stick dont forget to buy this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
that way u dont need to take the HU out to put the stick directly to the radio and u can leave the stick in the glove box for easy convenience.
what else do u guys need to know?
next thing i am looking at is see how i can get a SIM connected to the stick via USB... my only prob is how to get a sim from my carrier that wont cost me pewr month...
Hi All,
ok so i have zipped the files needed to root the MK809III and added additional files:
Instructions:
Use Windows 7.
*. Unrar the compressed file to a folder on ur computer.
*. Plug the stick power supply to the wall outlet.
*. Attach the supplied micro USB to the SIDE micro usb port on the stick.
*. Connect to your computer USB port.
*. Let windows "try" to find the drivers, it will fail.
*. Point to the "Driver" folder i provided for the appropriate driver (go to the subfolder per ur OS).
--- if this doesnt work for u, let me know i have additional files and i dont remember which one worked, ill supply if needed ---
*. After driver installed and u verified the device is recognized in device manager go to the folder u extracted and run "TPSparkyRoot.bat"
*. Follow the script instructions. If will ask u to connect --> it will say if it recognized and ask u to click the enter key to reboot the stick --> let it reboot, once it is again recognized in ur USB port and fully powered on --> click enter again on the script --> repeat this step according to the script output 3 times.
*. After the stick is rebooted 3 times (never take it out of the USB port) it will be rooted on the last reboot.
*. Configure to ur home WiFi.
*. Configure ur google account and everything as u want.
*. Run to ur car with a stupid smile on ur face and tell ur wife/child/dog "i did it, i did it".
*. Connect to ur car BT using keyboard and mice, configure everything.
*. Write on facebook this post "MK809III + AR3 = Pure awesomeness" and ignore all the replies and let ur friends freak out cause they dont know what they hell u r talking about.

donate and get to the G+ group. when it will go to the playstore u already have a license.
I was just going to link to mase's guide, but I see he already posted it in both spots.
When someone finds a way to make Google Now voice stuff work with my phone contacts, and tethering phone calls and text messages from my phone to the Android stick, I'll buy one to try out. I have a remote start so I'm not too worried about startup time myself.
I am also curious if someone can hack Chromecast to work streaming the phone screen using the wi-fi tether from the phone...that would be even better than a USB stick and boot up times are in the seconds rather than a minute.

Mase thanks for posting that HDMI coupler. Was looking for this. I think I'm going to try mirror via Chromecast again now that it's officially supported on the Nexus 5. If that doesn't work well I'll go "stick" by route following your instructions.
Thanks again. And I'll keep y'all update on my Chromecast experiment.
Just received mine today , tried to connect the stick to my win 7 pc but the stick doesn't even register when I plug it into the usb , tried a different pc and get the same problem . Any ideas ?
I had to work with mine a lot to get into flash mode. You have to be sure about some USB settings. Go to freaktab.com and register, its FAR more info than xda. Look for Finless 2.0 for your stick and download it, the READ ME file is a great help!

in the stick settings dont forget to put it in USB mode, connect the cable to the side micro USB port and enable debugging as well.
and to install the drivers.

First, what stick did u get? second, u used a keyboard and mice for the initial setup with AR? also, did u verify in AR u have it set to other?
also, for DIP use an app called app settings to change app level DPI
OK so I got my stick (same one that m.a.s.e linked to) I got it rooted and got touch working on my appradio2. My issue is when I turn the car back on. Since it takes a little while for the stick to boot and for arunchained to start up I have to keep pressing yes so the AR will keep trying to connect to bluetooth. How are you guys dealing with it? I would really like to run constant power to avoid waiting for boot time, Anyone done this yet?
Had to do a factory reset on my headunit because it wouldn't boot. After factory reset the mirroring app is gone. Contacted support and they let me know once it has been reset, it's too late. Can someone try backing the app up to an APK and uploading to see if I can use it?
I can do it for ya tomorrow.

The mirror app has not gone (only the shortcut from jeg desktop has gone) you just have to install it again from the OEM icon on the units desktop. Select the OEM icon, select APK and find the Easyconnect app in the listing. Push it to install it.

W.... Wow. I contacted the customer support and they said "Once the unit has been factory reset you will not be able to use the connect function anymore"
Thank you, gentleman and scholar! It does not want to see to want to connect to my phone but I'll chalk that up to the program being buggy and needing a different USB cable.

They say the same on their homepage (that its gone after reset) - but we know better
BTW i haven't succeeded either in connecting my iPhone using the connect function. No big deal, I can't se what i would use it for. Almost any program i could think of mirroring to the unit can be installed directly on the unit, so why bother with mirroring

FWIW, the EasyConnected app doesn't work with iOS 9 AirPlay mirroring (same as most other third party mirroring apps).
If you are looking for an alternative, Splashtop's Mirroring 360 works well for me on my Joying HU.

Yes it is, and it is working:good:
Can you confirm either installing from the OEM folder, or the download worked? I want to install malaysk ROM, but I have the same issue, need the mirroring, and now joying have also responded "fac reset will erase license and you only get 1". I really dont get this approach, they shpuld give better info, but anyway, hoping you had an update on this.
Also, how well does it work overall? I am just getting started, so any heads up would be great.
I had the Easy Connect app working fine with my phone prior to installing Malaysk's ROM. After reinstalling Easy Connect, I had my phone connect once, then the HU told me that the cable was bad, and now I cannot connect at all (Keep getting 0x11 error).
Any suggestions on how to make it work again?
I can now state that installing Malaysk's ROM and reinstalling Easy Connect does work*. I am pleased to say that I have used the screen mirroring to my satisfaction. (But, I cannot say what happened to get it to work, it just kind of happened).
Unfortunately, the phone initially goes into "Drive Mode" which, aside from being annoying, does not allow use of the Head Unit's screen. So, I must fiddle with my phone even longer in order to get out of that mode so I can use the mirroring correctly.
I also have not found a good way to force the phone to be in landscape mode. The one app I found that put it into that mode correctly had issues that interfered with other phone features to such an extent that I decided removing the app was my best option.
*This assumes the phone and Head Unit paired in the first place. My first Head Unit (Single Core) would never pair at all (before or after root).
My phone (HTC M8) just updated to the latest ROM (Marshmallow, maybe), and now Easy Connected does not work. It goes through all the motions, but the Head Until stays dark. Hopefully something changes soon.

Same issue here with the head unit staying dark. Any update here?
Update EasyConnected.
See this thread
Hey everybody i have a problem with Easy connected in Honda connect by HRV and i have an error 0x11 its adb-ec not found not exist. Whats is this?
So I've been using my phone to sync my music for a long time and today I updated to Verizon's new security patch and suddenly I'm getting a 'USB device not recognized' error when trying to connect my phone to my computer.
Anyone else having this problem? Any solutions?
I read the previous posts when this has happened so yes, the drivers are installed. I just hooked my phone up yesterday and it worked. Fast charging works on it and my PC charges the phone just fine so it's not the micro USB port.

Did you make sure USB debugging is still on? A security update might turn that off
Yeah, that's actually the first thing I checked. Same result either way. I'm just trying to transfer media without having to take the SD card out and it just will not work no matter what I have tried, including re-installing the drivers on my computer and restarting both multiple times.

I've had it happen a couple of times with my Note 5, I think the only way I fixed it was to use a completely different computer and ever reinstalled windows. It's like something got screwy on the computer.

Well, I did confirm it works on my other computer but Android Auto in my car no longer works. I'm pretty pissed off because the Verizon update definitely messed up things here. It's the only thing that changed and I had just used Android Auto the day before the updated too. I didn't even think about it until I had to use navigation today and it didn't work.
I just factory reset the phone and tried it and the computer and Android Auto still do not work. Verizon's updates are such garbage and I've been trying to wait for the Galaxy S10 to upgrade my phone.
So I found a (very stupid) fix for this. The reason it was only working on one computer of mine was because that is a desktop that I use a USB hub to connect to. What I found was if I use that USB hub to connect to my laptop AND my car for Android Auto both devices work as they did before. For now I have that USB hub out in my car so I can use Android Auto.
Obviously this is very dumb but it seems to work so if any of you have this issue with your Galaxy S7 Edge this may work for you. The USB hub I'm using is an Anker USB 3.0 4-port Hub that is no longer made and couldn't find it for purchase now but it's possible any hub or their newer ones will work.

I did a little searching and came across other people having the same sort of problem, here's what they did to get it working:
(I also saw mentiond about deleting the phone from the car's list of Android Auto devices before the following steps)
1. Turn USB debugging ON on the phone. (Under developer options. If you don’t have developer options available in settings, it can be turned on by going to Settings -> System -> About Phone and taping on “Build Number” several times until a message appears saying that you are ‘now a developer’.)
2. Forget the Bluetooth pairing between my phone and my car on both the phone and the car.
3. Clear data for Android Auto app on my phone.
4. Restart Phone.
5. Turn car off-and-on.
That order was important, as I’d tried several combinations of those steps without effect until I hit on this combination. Steps 1, 2, and 3 may be able to be switched around with each other, but it seems they both had to be done before steps 4 and 5 (which seemed to need to be done in that specific order).
Also, if I start the car with the phone already connected, the car tends not to notice the phone. I have to plug the phone in after the car is started and the entertainment system ready to go.
If you want to start over without a factory reset you can do this so it will be like you just did (as far as what we are dealing with here)

Yeah, I tried that multiple times and have seen the article you copied here. I even did a factory reset and tried all of that again but it didn't work.
With the way I have it working right now USB Debugging is actually off too (it works with it on or off). Before the recent Verizon update I hadn't even enabled Developer Mode so USB Debugging was always off when it was working. Something screwed up with the way the phone identified itself via USB in the software update and the USB hub seems to fix it.
An official Samsung cable might work (and I have one on the way) but since I bought this phone used without the official cable that hasn't been an option.
Thanks though!!
I just purchased a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado and it has the refresh interior. This includes a 14.1" android tablet as the radio.
This device is running Android 10. I have enabled developer settings, but can't seem to get any devices to pick it up in adb mode.
I've tried with my phone (wireless) and with my computer (wired).
I'm trying to side load some applications to it.
Can some one help me in this forum?
Thanks in advance
We're you able to make any progress on this ?

Unfortunately not. I've never had any issues doing this with android devices. Any advice would be appreciated
Darn... I havent been able to either.
I was really hoping to be able to sideload some basic apps since this is more or less an Android tablet in the truck.
Any luck on this

Which android stick did you end up going with? Also does it work in full screen?
I tried one from Amazon but it only works through apple carplay so it only shows on 2/3 of the display.

Hey, this is kind of a stupid question but.....along similar kinda thought, when I connect my phone via USB to my car, is there a way I could see and change the stock parameters in the sound system to something more like my liking. I use wavelet with my phone and when I plug in with USB in the car to drive even the car is effected. Without the wavelet it doesn't sound the same. I'm wanting to see if I can somehow do that so I don't gotta plug my phone in with wavelet. Cause sometimes wavelet acts funny.

I am using the M-Stick MG-S01 off Amazon.
It don't show the whole screen but most. It's also not the greatest, but it works for the most part. Which one are you using?
I was able to get ADB to recognize this system. However I get the error from android ADB tools "The Secure ADB mode is enabled. Please use the GM Secure ADB Client tool to authenticate first." I am looking for a way around this. Any ideas?
Also note I have firefox and airscreen(airplay mirroring) working in the GM emulator so if only ADB worked we could be having so much fun.

I also have a refresh Silverado and just tried a CarPlay box, how did you get it to go almost full screen? Mine still shows the side scroll menu with the clock and media player
I'm assuming you know how to activate developer mode by going
Touch "Settings"->"About"->"Build number"->then tap the white file name several times and it will count down how many taps it takes to enable it.
Still trying to figure out how to sideload apps if anyone has made any progress.
