Awesome! The only reason I bought my APpradio 2 is because I saw this app.
Downloading it now, guess I should get my cable and root my phone.
I'm new to Android and just got an S3. Does it neeed to be rooted in order to use ARLiberator?
Yes you do need root access to use the ARLiberator appI'm new to Android and just got an S3. Does it neeed to be rooted in order to use ARLiberator?

I'll be testing it out next week some time. Hopefully the phone doesn't get too hot.
Also, guys: "Your" != "you're" in any situation.

I have found the phone doesn't get anywhere near as hot with ARLiberator as it does with Pioneers app.

Agreed. I don't think it places anywhere near the same load on the phone that appradio did.
That is fantastic news, guys! Perhaps the battery will at least trickle charge then.
I've been saying for a while that my phone charges fine with mhl.
Ever since ARLiberator became my primary means of using the radio I can't keep the phone charged.
The only thing I can think of as a culprit is the fact that the phone has to use it's internal GPS for mapping now.
Can anybody reccommend a Root program that a "Everyday Jim" can use? I'm not the best with this stuff, and I don't want to end up destroying my phone trying to root it.. Thanks
It really depends on what phone you have. If you head over to XDA to your phone forum, look for a tool kit. It makes most rooting chores easy.
It varies by phone. You would need to do research to find out.
Ok, I'm stupid but I can't find a donate link. I want to send my $50 as promised....not cheap out and get it from the store.
You'll want to purchase it from the store and then send the rest via donation. That way you get stable releases. Go over to Appradio forum . com and pm stackTrase who is the developer.
Thank You!
Just a heads up I just noticed this thread over on XDA, don't know if it'll work with this but some one should try it

No different to any of the existing apps. Switches off the backlight. Fine on an LCD, but on AMOLED it doesn't blank the screen.

Says it works with all devices including the Galaxy Nexus (AMOLED), by just turning the screen brightness to 0.

I finally got a chance to test it, and turns off the screen on my Galaxy Nexus...
Can't test with the AppRadio though because I don't have an MHL cable (I returned all the cheap ones I bought and cant decided whether to buy the official connectivity kit or modify a cheap one as kagronick suggested.)
Anyone have any luck using ARLiberator on a rooted Razr running ICS with the AppRadio 2? I still seem to have the BT issues and ARLiberator never connects to the head unit.
There's a couple of threads on this topic at appradioforums.com. The app named tasker can be your friend. Either I have no memory left or my method of pairing changes each time, but I have the best luck connecting the phone (both hdmi and usb) first, then starting ARL, then starting the vehicle.

Turning the brightness to 0 on an AMOLED screen does not blank the screen, just turns off the backlight. There have been apps out that do that for a long while. There is someone developing a new method of switching off the voltage to the screen which should blank it properly.
It's in the same link that you quoted. It's working on amoled phones, but some of them are having issues with turning the display back on. I think that issue is resolved as well

Ok, but turning off the backlight saves battery and keeps the phone from over heating, the main problems when trying to mirror MHL for long periods of time.
There is no backlight on an AMOLED screen. The pixels themselves light up. It turns the brightness down to 0, which isn't the same as shutting off the backlight.
BTW, this does not work on my S3. If the screen brightness is turned to 0, the phone goes into standby mode.
