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. Its recommended to only do things that take a short time so there wont be too much delay.ImportantThe Smartphone setup on the head unit needs to be set correctly for Android as by default its 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/CeAoVgAny other AppRadio related app needs to be uninstalled as this blocks the connection to AppRadio Unchained Rootless.Android 7 Bluetooth bugIf 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 doesnt support this directly it is done via the phones GUI. Note that only the phones built-in screencasting capabilities can be used.Chromecast issueThe issue where it was not possible anymore to use a Chromecast with the mobile hotspot of your phone has been resolved by Google. If you still experience this issue make sure that ‘Google Play services’ has version 11.5.09 or higher.If your phone supports Miracast, its more convenient to use a Miracast device. It doesn’t require an internet connection to connect to it. The Actiontec screenbeam mini 2 or the Microsoft wireless adapter V2 are good choices.Because this app may not work for your setup theres an extended trial period of 48 hours.
