Sorry if this has been addressed in another thread, but I haven't been able to find a good answer.
The Bluetooth stack for HTC Sense based android phones has some Bluetooth limitations that do not allow it to pair to Bluetooth game controllers, keyboards, and in some instances mobile (car) audio. I am not a developer so I only have a basic understanding how this works, but I've read that it is due to the SPP profile included being out of date.
A lot of Incredible owning Ford Sync and BMW drivers out there seem to be having issues syncing the Incredible, and I personally would like to be able to use a Wii controller or the Zeemote with my device. I bought a Zeemote for mobile gaming, but I gave it to my Droid X owning friend because it works great on stock Android, but refused to Sync with either my Incredible or another friend's Evo.
Does anyone (especially those people porting non Sense Android 2.2 to the Incredible) know if it would be possible to replace the HTC Bluetooth stack with a stock Android 2.2 Bluetooth stack? Ideally a user installable (with Root of course) APK.
I'd also like to know if this is possible/why it is not, even though I'm increasingly falling in love with CyanogenMod (especially as 6 seems to be nearing a stable release)
You have to download Bluetooth file transfer app from the market. Works perfectly.

Officially, Android does not support BT HID, which is needed for wiimote.
Cynaogenmod has added it via one of the devs who made it possible.
Their code is on github, if you want to attempt trying to port it to Sense based roms.
It's interesting that the Non HTC phones i've tried it on have worked fine if it is a problem with Android in general. I guess Motorolla added their own stack.
Try it on a samsung phone. Its not HTC only.

All we need to do is find an amazing chef like the guy over at Phandroid who makes the FrankenROM. I have 100% faith that guy could pull it off if he tried. He is freaking amazing!
Yes, can someone fix this. Full bluetooth functionality on 2.2 would be awesome!
Good to know about the Samsungs also having this issue. I've not had the opportunity to test a Samsung Android phone. Seems everyone I know has HTC or Motorolla.

link please? what issue is that?
Is anyone willing to cook up full bluetooth functionality in 2.2???
I would kill for this on a stock 2.2 rom w/root. I have a lot of SNES and PS1 games that suck with touchscreen controls.
I will donate money.
Anyone interested in adding bluetooth?
Please anyone smart enough to figure this out?!?

What do you like about it? Are most of the bugs fixed such as will it run smooth with hardware 0004? Is it secure I know it has a wallpaper hub for downloading things wondering if it is virus spam spyware free?
I have used it in the past didn't like the bugs. I liked a lot of the features tho was wondering how secure and stable the latest build is.
Reminds me of CM with a twist.
I like MIUI a lot. I got bored of CM7 but didn't want to go to Sense, so I tried it out. My first flash was fairly buggy, so I went back and wiped multiple times & flashed again. Everything has been running smoothly since, no bugs. I feel it's secure. I only use the Theme Manager for certain elements, the rest of the theme I provide myself. You can also get themes from the miui-dev forums or at miui.us. The UI is constantly changing with each release, making theming a pain in the butt. Try it out and I think you'll like it. When CM7 stable came out, I said I was going to switch back. Still haven't.
I really want to try miui, I've heard alot of great things about it. But the lack of 4g kills me If and when it is ever apart of that rom I will be trying it out for sure.

I have 4g in my area but rarely use it, so it doesn't bother me. The Chinese don't have wimax, so they don't have a reason to add it. Unfortunately this leaves us without it as well. I've heard that the devs on our end have asked the Chinese if they could work on it independently. If the rom was open sourced I'm sure it would have already been implemented.
If it ever does get 4g, it will definitely be more widely used.

Did they fix the cam issue for 0004 hardware yet. Wondering if its secure I love the features wish the menu layout had more to it lol evo has loads of potential.

MIUI is the best AOSP ROM to me... I tried CM7 but the battery life was horrible for me, with MIUI out the box the battery life is great, now when I undervolt and use SetCPU I can get over a day on one charge.
Hey Guys, I have been looking around for a while and I was hoping that someone would happen to know this. I bought an Inc2 for a family member and she is receiving the GB update as we speak (a little irritated that my TB hasn't gotten it yet, but loving BAMF anyway). She is a big Skype'r and I know from the tbolt that it takes 2.3 to make the video to video Skype to work on it. Since it will be on GB, will the hacked Skype work? Does anyone have a link to an Inc2 specific apk?
Thanks!! (maybe she will eventually let me root it too!)

I have an app that I bought from the market for a buck called btmono. If your not familliar with it, what it does is convert my stero output from my phone and streams it to my mono bt headset. I use it for podcast and such since its not the greatest quality for listening to music. My delima is that it was runnning fine on the stock release froyo and I am currently running phoenix II with no problems. Before I got into custom roms I updated to gingerbread via sprint update and the streaming no longer worked. After probing the net that is how I stumbled onto this site.....thanks guys!!! Anyways, since most of the developers here are way more int the programming side than I am I was justv looking for input. I really want to update to a gingerbread build rom....but thus far they all do the same thing to my bt headset....and for me this is a deal breaker....what sux is that my wife's evo 4g is gb 2.3.3 and it works fine, and 2 days ago I tried it on my brothers stock galaxy 2 touch running gb 2.3.6 and it also worked fine. Humph. So, as a blanket statment....any input would be greatly appriceated!
Thanks in advanced.
Steve
I used to use an older version of that app on froyo. I was never able to get it to work on my epic after moving to leaked builds of gb. It used to be listed in the description in the market as froyo only. I have not tried it in several months and will give it a go again later today when I get home.

Ah You are correct...read it too fast. LOL. I see he had Randomking's Pheonix II.
Thanks guys....what puzzles me is that I actually talked to the developer and he says its even running on ics on certain phones. Its also working on my wifes htc evo and my brothers galaxy II touch and they are running gb 2.3.3 and 2.3.6 respectivly. No matter what build of gb I use its always a clean install and I am forced to repair my device. Does the modem that I am using have anything to do with the bt connection?
I am wanting to upgrade to thunderhawk. This is obviously a legal hack....it would be nice if the developers would figure out how it works and include it with their builds like the wifi hack. It actually is quite useful....all system sounds go through the mono bt headset even stereo musuc and podcasts. All without getting a headset that dosent have the adp2 protocol. Honestly I'm supprised google hasent explored this feature more and offered it. From what I hear it was included on older windows phones ans palms, so the idea has been around for awhile.
I have the same problem with mine and my brothers epic... it worked with froyo but not quite right with gingerbread... one day it will work fine, the next day it will work and then cut out, the next day not at all... think the app needs to be updated to fully support epic. It does work sometimes though
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Just spent some time trying to get this to work on thunderhawk 3.3 and still have the same results as on every other gb rom I have tried it with. It will connect, but audio just clips in quickly here and there. This is one thing I really miss from froyo as I used it quite a bit. Not worth going back just for that though. Hopefully this will get some support soon.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
has anyone contacted the dev on the app to ask if it is GB supported? and if it is ask him why it isn't working on the epic. i think this would be a good starting point.
So here is the response I got from thbe developer via email back on nov 22, right after the sprint rollout of gb. As I said before...my wife and my brother both have gb. They just happen to not be epic.
"It is more related to the firmware / drivers / kernel modules than the Android version. The program does work on 2.2, 2.3, and even 3.0+ (haven't tested yet on Ice Cream Sandwich). It works on every HTC device that I'm aware of including my EVO 4G and it works on my Asus Transformer. Unfortunately certain manufacturers seem to alter something in their firmware that prevents it from working. Almost no Motorola devices work, some Samsung devices have certain limitations, etc. Sorry, I can't guarantee that it will work at all. It's not something that Google supports so it's basically just a hack that works in certain circumstances.
Let me know if I can help with anything else. Thanks, Brian Sent from my ASUS Eee Pad."
So let's see if we can get these guys on here....to at least look into it. As I said, it is a very useful feature.
Jeffro, I have the same issues. It connects but the audio drops and it doesn't stream like it is supposed to.

OK so I have had my evo for about two years now and when I first got it I rooted it. then a while later ics came out and so did ics roms for the evo. but every time a rom would be stable enough for daily use there would be no more updates for it. even though there would still be bugs with it and it continues to be like that. so i mean whats up with that. would it be that its just not worth it to work on it or the devs don't have time? I just want to know out of curiosity.

From what I've read, I don't think the evo hardware can handle many of the features that came with the phone. I'm assuming that is what you are talking about though (4g, ffc, etc).
The problem is, HTC no longer supports the OG EVO. The source for drivers for things like 4G and the FFC were never officially released, so this is why those items in ICS and JB ROM's don't work. If you want a fully-functional ROM, stick with a Gingerbread ROM. Everything works-period.
Sent using my HTC EVO 4G and a magic wand
I also see this a lot too. I wish I knew how to develop so I could make a driver that works for the front facing camera. That is the only thing holding me back from ics and i want it so bad. I think what happens is the dev gets a new phone and wants to work on the newer one, which there is nothing wrong with.

Yeah I want to know how to develop also. I've been working on learning coding and what not. Like the basic stuff haha
The ffc needs a proprietary driver. The one that works on GB can't even be modified to work on ICS(easily) it needs to be about 90% rewritten to function. Writing one from scratch would almost be easier and its not easy and extremely time consuming without a team of devs experienced in coding camera drivers.

Unless you can make a compelling argument with Htc and convince them to release source code lol (hypothetically) Another solution would be to buy an Evo 3d. They have fully functional 3.6 sense roms with everything working.

Exactly, that's why sense 4.0 roms on the Evo 3d dont having working 4g or 3d because htc abandoned the evo 3d and are focused on the evo 4g lte. You can get an evo 3d a lot cheaper than a 4g lte. It is a damn shame I know, believe me.
So as far as the og evo 4g goes the most up to date rom that can be used is gingerbread?

Is there any current development on the FFC or 4g drivers? Where would one start to learn about why goes into creating these drivers? Has anyone taken the time to contact HTC reguatding the matter? Are there alternative drivers that could be used?
