[Q] Do any KitKat ROMs support Bluetooth Low Energy? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I have a stock, unrooted Galaxy Nexus GSM purchased new from Google currently running 4.3.
I have a FitBit Flex which will only sync with phones that have Bluetooth Low Energy support.
I can not find any information on any of the KitKat ROMs out there for Galaxy Nexus to see if I install it, will Bluetooth LE work?
If it does then work, my next concern would be if the FitBit app would recognize that the Bluetooth LE works and it would then be able to sync, or if it simply would still see it as a Galaxy Nexus which they do not list as a supported device: http://www.fitbit.com/devices
If anyone can offer me some advice here, I'd greatly apprecaite it!
Thanks.
(btw, sorry if this is in the wrong froum. please move it if it is)

With any kitkat rom I install only the modified apk from that thread and everything is ok!
Il you wanna stay with 4.3 you must install btle libraries as mentioned in the thread.

Gnex supports BLE with almost every KK rom.
(try BLE Checker on play store: on my Vanir says Supported!)

yes, and wrong place to ask this

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
I used The Nexus Root Toolkit (by WugFresh) to Unolock and Root my GNex. Then I used the link you gave me to get the BTLE files and the FitBit apk. I installed everything and it freakin' works!!! I'm so happy!
I'm so annoyed at Google for letting support of this device go after only 18 months. I bought it because they praised it as being thee flagship, unaltered, always up-to-date phone to have. I figured I'd be on the latest version of Android with this phone for many years. I wanted to keep it stock, but they've forced me to now go rooted. I suppose I could now flash a KK ROM, but I'm not sure what that would benefit me at this point.
Thank you again SO much for your help and fast reply! (Even if I did post this in the wrong place!)
Love XDA!

Ok, so I have to update what happened. Everything seemed to be working fine until I got into my car. My GPS has a bluetooth connection. It would connected, but then almost immediately the Bluetooth service would crash on my phone. Happened over and over again. Even after a reboot. Then when I got home, I tried it with my bluetooth speaker. Same exact thing. I figure the bluetooth binaries that I installed screwed up my connections that used to work. I even tried re-pairing them. Didn't help.
I gave up and decided to wipe everything and flash KK. I used CM11 nightly. Now everything, so far, is working as expected. GPS, speaker & fitbit. CM KK takes some getting used to over stock JB. I don't know what changes are KK and which are CM.

Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:
Hi,
I am using this ROM for a while now and I'm happy with it.
The only problem I have is Bluetooth audio streaming to a Bluetooth speaker.
It works perfect with version 7.8, but all other versions above I'm having problems with proper streaming.
Anyone else experience that?
Any ideas?
Waiz for.next.build. SlimRoms.merged a lot of upstream changes for Bluetooth now.

Thanks for your quick response.
Do you know about this problem? It's working very good with 7.8, but all other versions are really bad for Bluetooth.
Anyway, I wait until you compile and upload the next release, and then I give it a try.
Thanks to you and I really appreciate your work. :thumbup:

Hi,

I am just having the problem to create any folder on my homescreen.
If i move one icon over the other one it just jumps away.
Can anyone tell me how i can create a folder, to put some icons in there like for example a Systemfolder for all apps they have to do with system, or any other folder?
OK, finally i am able to geht some folders. But if i give them a name , i cant See für Name unless i open the folder.
And also the Name of the apps are gone.
Is that normal? Anyone have any idea?
Thanks.

The thing is I have made an backup of my device applications, contacts and all by using Samsung kies before flashing this slimkat 9 ROM. Now as I want to restore those apps, instead to download them all over again, I can't connect with kies.
So if you can give me some tips how to get those apps restored back on my tab, it would be a great help.
P.S - I love this ROM, my first custom ROM. Plz help
There is no way to get Kies work on custom roms.
Maybe google if there is a way to extract a kies backup.

Android 6.0 Marshmallow for jflte(Unofficial cm13)

After impatiently waiting for that day to arrive, here it is: Android 6.0 for our dear s4 is there thanks to our great dev @AntaresOne.
He brought us an unofficial cm13 for the unified s4 variants (jflte) which is stable enough to be used as a daily driver. All credits go to him.
Almost all the basic functions work.
FYI, it's a goodbye gift.
Download link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63729768&postcount=312
Please, used the gapps suggested by the dev. Otherwise, you may face bootloop.
Enjoy but remember to thank @AntaresOne for this awesome work!

I'm downloading it right now and going to give it a shot. Hopefully everything works out, including using streaming services like Netflix or Hulu Plus. Will report findings soon.
I have read that cm13 will support tmobile wifi calling will it work with the s4 builds? Is it implemented in this build?

It should work if the signature verification is skipped.
Also be sure that the downloaded file is correct; some of the mirrors do not yield the correct file andd have a different checksum.
The checksums should be:

Successfully flashed here. However internal and external mic don't work as well as auto time zones. Other than that, I haven't noticed an issue. I guess at first glance it also does not appear to be rooted.
Trying this on my Metro PCS S4 (jfltetmo) since it's not my daily driver and not connected to their network. So far it seems to be stable, but the battery usage is not good at the moment. The top of the list shows "Uncounted" using the battery the most. Not sure what that means. I am willing to help with testing this rom for this model jfltetmo, so if you want any info from this phone, let me know what and how to get it, and I will gladly share.
This thing did not work for me, leaving the phone stuck at the Galaxy S4 screen at boot. Restored using Odin and stock image, my device is the M919V.

It's a known issues in all cm13 built. No fix for it yet.
Is this ROM dead? or will it be updated to work with microphone fix?

It cannot. Since ICS, T-Mobile's WiFi Calling has depended on TouchWiz to work. Sadly, for the S4, TouchWiz is stuck on 4.4.4 KitKat and likely won't be moving up to Lollipop. As of now, I keep a working KK TW Rom backup up as a Nandroid in case I need it but I've since resigned myself to moving on.
Need something to fix 6.0
I downloaded the Android 6.0 marshmallow for tmobile and the 6.0 gapps i flash them with TWRP recovery on my galaxy s4 I cannot create an APN because it says my device model is unknown and sims card is not inserted what do I need to do to fix this or is it just a CM bug.

SW3 does not work with Cyanogen

I recently loaded CM12 on my LG G3 D850 (only variant without Android 6 )
Everything went well until I tried pairing my SW3 via NFC via Wear, not only does it not recognize it, it makes the harp noise of nfc contact but does nothing and then stays on a very bright stock firmware that never goes off...very silly ..so I have to shut it off everytime
Already frustrated that Android 6 wasnt available at the end of three frustrating days of my first attempt at a ROM, now I am ready to switch back to (yucccckkk!!) stock if no solution is available.
I also upgraded my gApps to stock from mini (and that wiped out a whole buncha stuff but thats another story) and tried software update (but CM has its own updater which said nothing to update)
Would appreciate any ideas from the experts here, thanks in advance !
The NFC on the SW3 currently only transmits a URL to the "Android Wear" app. in PlayStore.

I didnt get you; even with that functionality in NFC, the SW3 connects without an issue with stock firmware but not with CyanogenMod - any reason for this ?
Did you factory-reset the watch after flashing CM on the phone? You need to (AFAIK).
It works for me CM11 + SW3
Working here too with cm 12.1

I'm not entirely sure what you mean: NFC doesn't do much, definitely can't use it to pair the device; which device has a "very bright stock firmware?"
Did you factory reset the watch and set it back up with the new phone rom?

OP
Are you waiting on Official CM13? There are much better alternatives to be had for the D850, and if your insistent on CM, Unofficial CM13 has been out for sometime.

Never used Orion, but used the RRemix MM Rom up until today on my D851. I assume it would be as reliable on the 850. I suspect you are only looking in "Original Development" instead of simply "Android Development" in the ATT G3 forums. Enjoy friend.

It would be helpful to everyone, including yourself if you were to give us a clue as to which Device you were inquiring about. As there are multiple versions of the Tab Pro, across many different sizes. It would also be helpful if you noted wether or not your Device has additional LTE, or is of the simpler WiFi ONLY variety.
That said the T320 (8.4" WiFi), is the (or was the...), best supported Device of the Family. Which had full CyanogenMod Support.
The T325 (8.4" LTE), OtOH never enjoyed any official Support, but, has otherwise Steller Support the whole time.
As for the others I can not speak on matters of which I know not, others will have to step up for the T52x (Tab Pro 10.2"), or the T90x (Tab Pro 12.2"), but I gather those were also working fine.
But, to answer your question, from the viewpoint of a T325 Owner. I find CM-13.0 to be very stable, and quick, and there are no issues worth reporting. 'Cause everything is working.

Android Auto on whyred?

Has anyone managed to get Android Auto to connect to their vehicle on their whyred?
I bought a new car last week and have been unable to get it to connect. Meanwhile my friends Blackberry KeyOne and iPhone both activated AA/Carplay immediately like they were supposed to.
I'm running Lineage 17.1 latest build, but I did see folks were having trouble with it a couple years ago. I was just hoping the situation had improved since then. I just updated the fw files from the Xiaomi firmware project and will try it again, but sadly I'm not hopeful.
If it does work for some of you, what rom are you using?
Thanks!

Problems with GAPPS I guess. Update both, car HUR and phone (gapps, Androidauto, play store,etc).
It's suppose to work normaly.. you can test it with MIUI ROM. You will need to delete LOS anyway if you wanna update FW the correct way (latest Fastboot MIUI ROM using PC).
Good luck and stay safe.
P.S.: I don't use gapps, to much troubles, and not privacy friendly and battery/data eater.

What is the vendor security date of your device? (Unless its newer than Nov 1 2018 I'm already running the newest available vendor update and firmware.) The xiaomi firmware project updates the exact same files that the MIUI builds would.
Latest open gapps, android auto, etc are all installed. Headunit is updated to the latest version of Entune 3.0. The problem isn't the head unit. It's the phone. Old reports on here suggest it never worked with MIUI either. I was just curious if anyone has tried recently to see if the situation changed. I have zero desire to run that mess that is MIUI. It was bad enough using it long enough to get my bootloader unlock key. When you plug in the device you're presented with a menu on LOS that doesn't exist on other devices. (File Transfer, PTP, MIDI, Do Nothing). None of them do anything, so it appears that the MTP built into lineage doesn't know what to do with the connection.

It's not LOS fault, it's car HUR or GAPPS(androidauto,..) fault.

You're leaving out a lot of necessary information, like your build of gapps and what your second device actually is. I have no doubt LOS works fine with Android auto on other devices, but I have yet to see any proof of it working on any whyred anywhere. You're just making assumptions and jumping to defend LOS without any proof whatsoever. You're ignoring the part where every post regarding AA on whyred posted on this forum in the past refers to it not working. It may not be LOS' fault in particular but it very well could be the device firmware never working with AA at all.

Ok ok I have 2 whyred devices(2nd has smashed screen, i leave it connected in car)...hope that makes sense now
Let me simplified this... whyred and android auto is working! Yeah you need to hasel a bit but its working, at least in my Nissan OEM HUR from 2019. You just need to find right GAPPS version. I think its from feb. 2020, anythig newer breaks androidauto. Than just freeze all google stuff or it will update and breaks again. I cant remember all details couse it's too long ago I did it. Sorry, but you'll need to experiment by yourself.
Ahh almost forget...my FW is 10.0.3 I think. Not the latest.
Good luck and stay safe.
It's a big gapps problem and not about the devices. I am on redmi note 4x and have the same problem. My whyred have too. All original devices work. And my mido work before too. Its all about gapps.
I am very much thankful for all developers here but please don't talk its fixed. Its not especially on android 11 builds. There is non fully working gapps out just betas talk work but not. I have many devices. I flash and hundreds of others cellphones.
For all people search. Help to develop or wait for a right gapps build and report to all.
