AppRadio Unchained Rootless 0.05 [paid]

AppRadio Unchained Rootless allows full mirroring of your phone from your AppRadio. This means that any app can be controlled from the head unit screen and not just a few
that are specially adapted.
For this app to work Android 7 or higher is required. As Android 7 only allows to inject complete gestures, a gesture has to be completed first on the head unit before it
will be dispatched to the phone. It works similar to record and playback. Suppose you need to do a long press of 2 seconds, first press for 2 seconds, once you lift your
finger it will be dispatched and replicated on the phone where it will take 2 seconds as well. It's recommended to only do things that take a short time so there won't be
too much delay.Important
The 'Smartphone setup' on the head unit needs to be set correctly for Android as by default it's configured for Iphone. Go to Settings->System->Input/Output
Settings->SmartphoneSetup and set Device to 'Others' and Connection to 'HDMI'. See this video: https://goo.gl/CeAoVg
Any other AppRadio related app needs to be uninstalled as this blocks the connection to AppRadio Unchained Rootless.Android 7 Bluetooth bug
If during connection 'Accept thread error' is displayed this is not because of a bug in the app but due to a bug in Android 7.
It can be fixed by disabling BT background scanning on your phone: Go to Settings -> Location, in top right menu click Scanning -> Bluetooth Scanning.
AppRadio mode requires that your device is connected to the HDMI input of the head unit. Depending on the device this can be done with a MHL / Slimport / Miracast /
Chromecast adapter. This app supports automatic connection to wireless screencasting devices. Since Google API doesn't support this directly it is done via the phone's
GUI. Note that only the phone's built-in screencasting capabilities can be used.Chromecast issue
Up till recently it was possible to use a Chromecast with the mobile hotspot of your phone. However since Google made an update of ‘Google Play services’ it doesn’t work
anymore, see here for details: https://goo.gl/WeySGp
There’s workarounds like uninstalling the ‘Play services’ update or using another phone’s hotspot, then it will still work. Google is working on a fix but it’s not known
when it will be delivered.
If your phone supports Miracast, the best solution is however to not use a Chromecast but a Miracast device. It doesn’t require an internet connection to connect to it.
The Actiontect screenbeam mini 2 or the Microsoft wireless adapter V2 are good choices.
Because this app may not work for your setup there's an extended trial period of 48 hours. In order to claim this simply request a refund within 48 hours after purchase by
emailing the order number to the support email address.
