RockScout App and MirrorLink - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Verizon Galaxy Note 5 (unrooted of course) and a Pioneer AVH-4100NEX car stereo that I run Android Auto on. Just downloaded an app called RockScout to try it out with MirrorLink since the Pioneer supports that as well. Noticed that when you start the app if you hit the back button it allows you to mirror the entire phone screen to the radio with full touchscreen functionality. (I have a parking brake bypass installed). Have only seen this capability with AppRadio Unchained Reloaded and only with rooted phones. Not sure if this is intentional or not. Has anyone else experienced this with MirrorLink apps? It's kind of cool because I have been wanting to use Audible through my radio but there is no Android Auto support yet. This allows it. Probably wouldn't use it for much else as that could be too much of a distraction.

Can't run the app on my avh-x5600bhs with cd-ml100 add on. Any ideas?

Not sure about your stereo but on mine I had to change the phone connection to Mirrorlink from Bluetooth or Android Auto. When it connects the screen will show the Rockscout app. Then hit the back button and it reverts to a full mirror of the screen. Can't run the app until phone is connected via Mirrorlink.

It was installed when I had the stereo put in. They didn't even ask if I wanted it. They just did I it. I hear they are pretty cheap and easy to install. I believe you can find them on Amazon.

My one+ one doesn't have mirrorlink, but the app doesn't use traditional mirror link, if not mistaken.

Bump

It works on Appradio 4 with my rooted S5 and my unrootable S6 but it doesn't work well. Whenever to hit the home button it restarts the Rockscout app and you have to go through the splash screen again. It makes it difficult to quickly toggle to the TouchWiz home screen. Of course you can use the "back" key, but that's annoying if you're several layers deep in an app and just want to get to the home screen. I wish we could reprogram the home button after Rockscout launches.

Bluetooth between phone, gear and car?

Although my car shows my phone connected when I drive, while I am wearing the gear, any calls are routed through the gear.
I know it has to do with probably only one device can output the calls, but is there any way to go around this ?
Is there a quick way to disconnect the gear from the phone while in the car ? it's just that it's a lot of steps to get into the settings....
Was looking for something simpler and quicker.
Although it would be cool not to actually have it disconnected as I still like to see the notifications without pulling out the phone.
Anyone else with this issue ? Any suggestions...?
Only other thing I thought of is to find a software that would put me a toggle on the screen maybe ?
Thanks
No problems here. The phone call well get route through whatever device accepts the call

Same here.
Car has inbuilt blue tooth, if I accept via the car, it routes through the car.
I also have no problems. The interesting thing is, I can initiate a call on the gear, and it stays there for about one second, then transfers to the car speakers. Which is where I want it anyway.
I have the same issue on Tmobile S4 4.2, I believe the 4.3 update has different profiles that allow this. Right now I'm stuck to connecting to the Gear or a Headset, I have to choose between the two since they both connect as 'phone audio' under BT settings. Once 4.3 is release in 2018 (LOL) it should be resolved.
I have a similar problem...or worst
My camaro '12, uses 2 BT profiles. One for media audio and the other for phone audio, since the gear also connects to my GS4 using phone audio, my cámaro's infotainment screen frozes until I disconnect the GG to my GS4 or the cars phone audio to my GS4.
I can't even chance the damn A/C temp or speed when that happens. Hahaha

I have connected my LG G3 to the galaxy gear Samsung gear 1.
Everything is fine except that I cannot use both gear and bluetooth connection in my car, whereas, if I am using my Note 3 there is no problem in connecting both.
Wondering if there is a solution so that I can connect both bluetooth and gear to my 3G in my car
I have the same issues. I have a lg g3, galaxy gear 1, and bt headset. If the gear is connected, calls go to gear and not the headset.
When I had my galaxy s5 all was fine.
Anyone have ideas?

Something else I noticed, it may only happen to others with a lg g3, but if the watch is on and paired, the headphone jack doesn't work.

I don't have a g3 (yet) to test but I think using SQL lite editor and modifying settings.db under the settings app, you can adjust bluetooth priorities. By default priorities are all set to 100. I think if you changed the gear's priority to 99, it may work.

That may be over my head to an extent.
If it was laid out I could do that. But I've never used sql. I just tried and failed pretty bad.

Ok, I'll try to break it down. Hopefully, it works:
1) Get SQLite editor (sounds like you already have it)
2) Scroll down to "Settings Storage" and then select "settings.db"
3) Select global
4) find the entry "bluetooth_headset_priority_<MAC address of Gear>" and select it
5) Click menu > edit record
6) Change the priority from 100 to 99 and save
Hopefully, it helps. Let us know.

Not sure. I would try setting both the gear and your headset to a positive integer and make sure the headset is set higher and see what happens. Not sure if this will work or not but it can't hurt to try.

I've setup Trigger profiles to do exactly this back when I was on 4.1.2 since multiple devices can't be connected at the same time on that version. From Android 4.3+, multiple BT devices can be connected at the same time and I thought it was at the OS level where the system would use whichever devices answers the call...... I guess it is a function of the Samsung dialer after all.

[Q] Mirrorlink

Is there any way to get mirrorlink working on the Nexus 6?
Not sure what mirrorlink is. Do you mean Miracast? If so, I don't believe it works. Chromecast works great for screen mirroring your Nexus 6 to a HDTV.
Found this searching for compatibility... One application for MirrorLink for those that didn't know is Pioneer head units like the AppRadio so you can mirror your phone's screen onto it...
any luck?
Is MIrrorlink compatible with the nexus 6? If so, anybody know how to enable it?
My understanding....

From what I have been told neither Mirrorlink nor AppRadio are compatible with Lollipop in general and the nexus 6 specifically. Your only option at this point is Android Auto which works well if you have the supporting HU from Pioneer. However, at this time, not many developers have made their applications compatible with it. When the 2016 car models start rolling out with AA preinstalled in their HU, then I believe we will see a flood of apps moving into the platform.
Google needs to start supporting MirrorLink on Nexus phones. I have a Nexus 6 and the Pioneer AVH-4100NEX.
Android Auto has been a horrible experience so far. It worked at first, for a couple of months, and then I don't know why (Android update maybe?) but suddenly it stopped working and hasn't worked since.
Even when it did work, there were some VERY annoying things:
1) if your phone is plugged into the USB cable, Android Auto launches, and as long as you're still plugged in I couldn't find any way to temporarily get out of Android Auto (such as if I want to check my email or some other app on the phone). Or if I want to listen to a YouTube video (or watch it from my phone, lets say I'm the passenger ok?), then I'd have to un-plug the USB which means my phone isn't charging.
2) The other really annoying thing is that Android Auto limits developers in how many screen clicks user would need to do to get to content (including, clicking the down arrow to browse through a long list). Where this is a problem for me for example, is my Spotify playlists. Android Auto will only display about 10 or so of my playlists.
So I find myself disconnecting the phone from the cable and just streaming over bluetooth.
In fact at first I was really upset that my phone was no longer launching Android Auto at all and stopped working with my Pioneer AVH-4100NEX, but now that I am just able to leave the phone charging all the time and have full access to my phone apps, all my spotify playlists, and am just streaming over bluetooth I'm not really sure I want to fix Android Auto.
What I really want at this point is to just MIRROR my phone screen to my head unit. This way no matter what I want to watch or listen to, it doesn't matter if "Android Auto" supports it or not. I can put on YouTube videos, or anything I want.
So this gets me back to Mirror Link, I don't know why Google or Motorola is not supporting it, MirrorLink from what I've seen should be another viable option for Android users (and for now I think a better option than Android Auto)
I'll be posting this reply as a separate topic as well, here and in Google's forums because it needs some attention.
Thanks
Ill repost this here as well
You have to take into account the many laws in different places concerning cell phones and driving. In some places you can get a ticket just for having your phone in your hand while driving. And now they are cracking down even harder on it. Also some OEM have been known to block some cars from working with devices like that. It was found that one samsung device had a list built into the OS that blocked a number of different cars from working with Android Auto. This I can only assume came from the Car manufacturer.
If I had a nickel for all the distracted drivers around me, well, I'd have a lot of nickels!

Possible to use iPod for music while in Android Auto for navigation w/ any head unit?

Hey all, I'm wondering if it's possible to use iPod for music while in Android Auto for navigation at same time? I enjoy having my music specifically on the iPod in case I drive through a no cell signal area for example so I'm curious if this is possible with any of the Android Auto head units. Trying to decide on which one to buy right now and this is an important function I wanted to make sure works in whichever I get.
I don't use my iPod, but have all my music on USB, it is no problem to play that and still use AA, just swap modes using the mode button.

Actually a lot of dual zone head unit can achieve that, you may search Pumpkin Andorid car stereo, they sell a range of devices that runs Andorid system. I used one of the unit in my car for now, and everything runs good!

Android Auto for maps and Spotify, iPhone for calls

Hi, is there a chance to use two phones at the same time? Every day I use the iPhone, but I would like to be able to use Google Maps on the Discovery Pro screen in a VW Passat. Is it possible to connect an Android phone with Android Auto, which will display Google maps to me, at the same time be connected via bluetooth from the iPhone to be able to call from it? I am currently using MirrorLink, but this service works very poorly and slowly. Apple CarPlay is not an option, their maps are miserable. Thanks for help.
Ok, no one wrote back, but I found a solution.
I have Xperia Z5 Compact, on which I made root.
I have permanently turned off the Bluetooth sharing service. After installing Android Auto, I went through all the configuration steps. The service started working on the car screen without disconnecting the connected iPhone X via bluetooth.
The sound and picture are sent via a usb cable. When someone calls the music pauses, and when the conversation ends it plays again. It is a perfect combination if CarPlay is not enough, and we don't want to stop using the iPhone.
Thx for the interesting post and especially to come back with a solution. A real strange thing that people actually do follow ups.
I am also interested in this. Having multiple phones I would leave 1 in the car just for Android Auto and the other one just as a phone. If Android wireless was active the use for me would be a bit less needy.
What some people forget is that your phone barely charges if you use Android Auto and that would make it better for me to really charge my other phone while driving. During Android Auto and connected to the USB of the car the phone is in data mode and will probably only output like 400 to 500mA . This is barely enough to keep the charge.
The S7 that I have goes to about 1.9 Amp(so 1900mA) when charging on a non QC charger so after lets say an hours drive it gets more than enough juice to keep you going.

I installed the Root Essentials app from Google Play and found the "Bluetooth Sharing" service in the Memory / Application Manager tab and turned it off. From the normal application settings, this can not be done. Thanks to this, the sound and image from Android Auto is transmitted via USB, and my iPhone is connected via bluetooth for calls.

The steps I have described have helped in the operation of AA, so that the car does not disconnect my Bluetooth-connected iPhone. When I used MirrorLink, my iphone was not disconnected and I could use both phones without any modifications.
In my case, I turned off bluetooth first and then I installed and configured Android Auto with my car. As a result, the iPhone was not disconnected which made me happy. I would also like to add that the procedure was performed on the Discover Pro radio in the Passat B8 with the App-Connect service.

I did try almost every configurations ... I erased previous telephone settings in head unit to start with a clean install. BT has been disabled on tablet (the one dedicated to AA). As soon as the tablet is connected through USB, the phone is deconnected from head unit, and the reason given is that BT is already engaged by another unit (the tablet 0-o). I did a hard reset of the tablet. No joy either... I don't know what to do next. I should stress the fact that AA is installed from APK, as the tablet is not eligible for having AA.

In Volkswagen cars, Android Auto connects via USB, however the phone connection is connected via bluetooth. Maybe your car is configured differently with AA. I also downloaded AA from the apk file.
Can your car simultaneously handle two phones connected by bluetooth? It is possible in the Passat. Maybe there is a problem here.

That needs to be checked for sure, but I still cannot understand why, with BT completely removed from tablet, Head unit still maintains a kind-of BT link with it, thus disconnecting the phone ... It appears like once AA is running on tablet, all other BT connections are killed.
Not working for me! Please help

Hi Pixege,
I have the exact same setup (Sony Xperia Z5 ROOTED + iPhone + VW Discover Pro on new Tiguan) and followed your instructions here but no luck.
Here's what I've done.
1. Made sure there is no pre-existing bluetooth pairing between Xperia and Discover Pro) - I reset the Discover Pro just to be sure
2. Paired iPhone with Discover Pro (this is the phone I want to keep connected via bluetooth for calls, etc.)
2. Permanently disable bluetooth sharing on Xperia using Root + App
3. Installed Android Auto on Xperia and connected device to Discover Pro - AA now works fine
This still caused the iPhone to be disconnected from bluetooth... when connected via AA, no other connection is allowed.
Did you do anything different from the steps above as it didn't work for me.
Thanks for helping out.

use 2nd phone for Android Auto
I was able to root my LG V35 and turn off all BT using Link2SD. Now my old V35 is plugged into my car's USB in the center console and my new S20+ connects to the car on BT for calls. It took a lot of effort, but thanks to all the tips posted here, I was able to make it happen. Rooting the V35 was the hard part. Getting the boat loader to unlock took a lot and I bricked the phone twice trying. But rooting after that was somewhat easy, though frankly, I'm not sure how I did it exactly. I was able to unlock the boot loader using the instructions here, step 1 and 2. Though somehow, I bricked the phone (for a 2nd time) trying to get through step 3. I was able to get it to go into fastboot mode and I flashed the boot with an img that was labeled twrp and magist 7.5. I wish I could remember where I got that image from, but after that, magist was installed on the phone and a few clicks later, suddenly it was rooted. Then disabling BT with Link2SD only took a minute.
GREAT post - THANK YOU!!
I have a Note 20 Ultra and a 2020 Tiguan SE, and my 2 issues are (were):
1. I hated connecting and disconnecting the phone to cable for every damn time you enter the car.
2. Since I am spending a lot of time in the car, not necessary driving - I wanted more. Especially Video.
Knowing that AA uses BT and automatically pairing every devices it connected, I though to go to iOS, and get a cheap Iphone to run Carplay, while my Note will stay on BT.
The idea of disabling BT from system after root never crossed my mind. So once seeing that post, I ordered from Amazon a Pixel XL, rooted it and removed all the un-necessary crap out of it, disabled all APKs and services using BT - and it works like a charm.
I have my Note in and out from the car with me, working on BT, and the rooted Pixel juts sits in the car connected with the wire.
Thank you!

Hi,
Not anything in particle, where are you stuck?
I just used any of "app disabler" app from Google Play and freeze every service you find for BT.
Other then that, once in car, make sure your phone is up and running the BT connection, before you plug the secondary device into the wired AA connection.
Good Luck.

I don't know why it doesn't work for me.
Have tried them all before.
New ROM, Call function disabled, Android Auto function disabled.

Maybe it's because of the VW firmware?

I have a 2020 VW Tiguan SE (USA) if it helps.
Rooted with Magisk
I used "link2sd" and "servicedisabler" apps to do it, but their are plenty others out there who will do the same.
The 2 BT services I disabled in the Pixel XL which is connected now to AA by wire are:
com.androind.bluetooth
com.androind.bluetoothmidiservice
And once again, be sure to be paired and connected with your phone ti BT, before connecting the other device to the wired AA.

Allow 720p/1080p video output developer options won't turn on/turns itself off?

Hi,
I've seen some fairly old information about enabling the "allow 720p video output" option in developer options, resulting in better quality image on certain head units. I wanted to try this out for my Ford Fiesta, but the setting seems to disable itself as soon as I leave the Android Auto app, and even if I enable it and plug straight into the car it seems to have no effect (not sure if head unit doesn't support it, or the app, or both).
I'm using a Nexus 6P. Tried reinstalling the app and it made no difference. Android Auto: 3.1.581054-release
Anyone else had this issue?
I saw this Android Police post https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/...ow-message-previews-hd-graphics-apk-teardown/ - it looks like Google are setting up to make HD projection functionality official, but for the time being I'd really like to play with these options.

I'm not sure no, but the app seems to reset the setting all by itself regardless of whether or not I connect it to the car - so like I said, I don't know if it's the app or the head unit.

Maybe, but that doesn't really make sense since as I mentioned, it being reset is completely independent of whether or not I connect it to my car (happens as soon as I close the app and open it again) and for all the app knows I could easily be connecting it to a different car next which does support it.
It's a Ford Fiesta Mk8 (2017 onwards). The car doesn't support wireless AA. I don't see any mention of it in the app - I think I read that it only launched in the US? I'm in the UK.

Have the same "bug".
I try it with my Galaxy Note 8 (Stock) and Note 3 (Custom ROM). I install crankshaft on my Raspberry Pi and activate 720p and 1080p.
If i activate the suppord for 720 and 1080 it works one time. After i close the AA-App its disabled.
If i plug my phone on again, i see a error, that my phone or "car" is not supported.
The option in Open Auto / CrankShaft is still activated.
I read somewhere that this issue should be fixed in next release of Android Auto.

Just installed 3.2.581534-release and it looks like the issue has been resolved. 720p and 1080p output seem to stay on after killing and relaunching the app. I'll test it in my car tonight but without the car, it works
Enabling the option really makes a big difference in my case. I drive a Skoda Superb 2018 and Waze looks totally pixelated without this option on. I was going to post this question in the forum because I also encountered the issue of disabling the 720p output when closing the app but I'm glad it appears to be fixed now.

Yep it's fixed for me as of an update a couple of weeks ago as the option is sticking, but sadly it looks like my car doesn't support it.
