I'll take a look at it this week, but I can't guarantee it working correctly on all devices. It's going to mess with the calibration (when enabled).

 

Does everyone just want the screen stretched to fill?

 

Im all for full screen if possible. its always looked a little odd on my hu, not being full screen.

 

Can i ask how i could back out of apps if that was the case tho without the black bars either side? Im using a F930BT

Well in the latest version Mike now supports the default "home" button that backs you out of supported apps, so the same way. That's why the black bars aren't really needed anymore, hence why we're trying to find out what to use them for now; full screen or track forward/backward.

Ah, thats what i forgot to mention, the home button doesnt work for me. Thats assuming you mean the physical home button on the head unit?

Yepp. I guess he'd have to code in an option in the settings to enable full screen/track control/home... :-\

Mike FYI, the music controls function you introduced in a previous version is broken with the latest version.

Hi Mike, I also agree a fullscreen option would be nice! The only other thing that still bugs me slightly with the current version is not remembering the order of the apps in the appradio menu, but I guess this doesn't need to be much of a priority!

Still fine for me, have been using it ever since

Are you aware of what I'm referring to?

Well th skip buttons seem to work but the play/ pause doesn't.

Since I have the AVH-X5500BHS and it has fixed buttons for track forward and back I'm all for full screen with unsupported apps! I'd love for Navigon to run full screen. I hate Waze, but sometimes I just use it because it is big and nice looking, but Navigon in full screen would be great.

 

Again, thanks for all of your work Mike. It's a shame Pioneer won't get with the program and take some tips from you on how they could make their product so much better.

I use Googiri & MapsOpener to send all voice commands to google & open all addresses or routes via google maps.  I'd use Waze more if I could send voice commands directly to Waze instead of Google Maps, (right now I have to Copy Paste search results to Waze).   Maybe that will change soon now that Google owns Waze and they are slowly merging features.

 

DirectionBar is another nice app to have a compass icon next to the LTE/WiFi icon.

 

I haven't been driving much since I installed the new AR3 last Friday so I'm still getting familiar with the quirks.  I wrote off EC Touch until I used it more, pretty slick worth the few bucks.

 

I'm all about getting full screen but if the calibration will suck, we'll need to dial that in right away of course.   I'm not exactly sure hwo the X Y Multipliers work yet and haven't tried changing them yet.  (still working with the basics)   I'd be happy to learn and help test next build innovations though!

AssistantLove works with Waze.

It works! Perfect thanks.  Now my voice commands to addresses or intersections open right up in Waze, excellent.    This alone makes Waze my #1 navigation app while driving.

 

-MapsOpener still opens addresses I "touch" open to Google Maps (which is what I want)  

-I couldn't ever confirm Googiri was actually ever doing anything for me even when I installed it alone.  I think I'll leave Googiri uninstalled for now.

 

I find myself using Pandora more than I ever have in the past only because it's faster to launch on the AR3 main hard coded menu. (pre AppRadio connection)

 

But you're right, Waze is pretty slick looking FULL screen edge to edge.   Bigger is better.

 

I wonder what happened to the Russian HackRadio operation?  It looks like they gave up earlier this year.  https://www.google.com/#q=HackRadio.Me    Having the actual AR3 running a Custom Firmware would be ideal.  

 

I'm looking forward to seeing what else can be enhanced via AppRadio Extensions. (so far so good)

Just got Appradio 3 installed and ran across this thread. Pretty sure I would 'kill' to be able to use App Extensions.  :-P

Going to ask what is probably a dumb newbie question, but I could not find my answer quickly on here.

I have an iPhone 5 with 6.1.4. I think I'm screwed, aren't I? It appears there is no jailbreak for 6.1.4 and it appears Apple has locked down the ability to go backwards.

Can someone please confirm this for me or let me know if there might be a way to do this?

 

Thanks!

Apparently there is a tethered jailbreak for 6.14 but I can't be sure. Google is your friend for details.

Posted Aug 30, 2013 · 00:20 UTC#1867

I think I'm out of luck till iOS 7. 

 

Exactly, the Jailbreak Dev's are holding the remaining exploits they have left up their sleeves for iOS 7.   I read they confirmed a few were already patched it latest Beta but they have a few more that might work.    

 

I thought I'd be done with jailbreak when the iPhone 5 came out with iOS 6, but here I am still jailbreak years later!   I hope the tradition will continue.

@mikedecaro

 

He mike i know you are very busy.

But im still waiting for a solution for the iphone 4 lag/slow problem.

Any update about this issue?

Posted Aug 31, 2013 · 01:45 UTC#1870

Haven't tried this myself as I'm still holding at v.6.1.0 but have a look:

This is where google is NOT your friend.   That site is bogus.  For starters,  any jailbreak site that asks for your credit card number is not real.  Your best news source is http://modmyi.com

 

There some recent news about possible 6.1.3 but it's not out yet.    I'm staying on 6.1.2

Yep...like I said, I really didn't investigate it fully but if they're asking for a CC, then it's BS for sure. Guess I'll need to stay at 6.1.0 for now.  It sounded a bit premature.  Anyway, with iOS 7 around the corner, I wonder how long it will take for that to get JB'd.

It took several months for iOS6 to be jailbroken so I wouldn't hold your breath.

Your best source for jailbreak news is twitter following pod2g, MuscleNerd, and planetbeing

yeah, what i seen was 127 days from the release of 6, that could be wrong but thats what i saw

I hate my self for joining the JB game late, and i cant see myself updating to that happy sunshine unicorn hippie looking ios7.

I will be happy for a 6.1.3 JB for the 4S

I considered buying another 4S (and this time the 64GB 4S lol) on ebay or CL locally because im sick of waiting but 99% of the people i contacted were on 6.1.3 or had absolutely no idea lol

I presume you're referring to the music controls button in the app radio menu
