A2DP Bluetooth Profile for existing MS BT stack?

Hello there!
I was seriously thinking about buying myself one of those Bluetooth stereo headsets. Unfortunately they need the A2DP Profile which isn't included in our present MS BT stack.
I have read a lot in this forum about transferring the Broadcomm/Widcomm stack - a guy even offered 200$ on success. Yet so far no success.
Now I was wondering if it would not be easier to add that profile to the existing stack somehow? By "somehow" I mean that I am not a programmer and havbe no clue how to do so on my own.
Any suggestions or help?
Cheers, <))><

Hey Guys!
At least a simple "No" or some reply would be nice. I can't imagine that I am the only one who looks for something like that

Well I just tried to find a thread for you over at Howard Forums but was not successful. Go over there there is a poster named "whtrbt7" he seems to know a bit on this subject.
Basically I believe the short answer is no.
I think we are a year or so away from getting true full stereo audio via A2DP Profile.
I'm no expert on this subject, but I believe there needs to be more consistance and control within the BT industry as a whole.

i just posted this link in another thread but maybe its useful to you:

iWALTZ enables multimedia mobile phones using MS Smartphone(R) and MS Pocket-PC Phone(R)-Edition to stream music over Bluetooth, seamlessly switch between music and voice calls, and display rich media related information on wireless accessories.
"Mobile phones are transforming to be the next generation multimedia devices," said K.Srikrishna, CEO of Impulsesoft. "iWALTZ enables this transformation by delivering an integrated Bluetooth audio experience and significantly reducing time to market for mobile phone OEMs. Impulsesoft is working with multiple mobile phone OEMs to deploy iWALTZ in their products that are launching in the first half of 2005."

Maybe soon we we are able to get a2dp working on the magicians

Cheers for the answer! I hope so too. Just installed the newest Widcomm Soft on my PC in order to give it "More Power" (Tim Allen from Home Improvement). Now I can't wait to make A2DP work somehow on our Magicians. It would be like Star Trek :wink:

New Broadcom BT stack for wm2005

Check this out !!
http://www.windowsfordevices.com/news/NS3839185925.html
I've just had it with MS BT stack not being able to retrieve remote device names from incomming connections. Hopefully this new version should solve our problem. But now the question is ....... How the hell are we gonna get our hands on this new version of Broadcom's BT stack ??? :?

And what's so new about this?
The press release is from june 1, 2005 :?
Sascha

Well ...
It's true that the stack was announced long time back, but if you read carefully, it seems they already have released it to some mobile manufacturers and will be releasing it to the public very soon. Which means new hope for our BT enabled pdas instead of that old crappy MS BT stack we have been suffering with.

ummhhhh. that's good. and when will we get this?

Maybe I just missed it, but the article doesn't seem to specifically mention WM5 support.

Where can i download the stack? haven´t found anything in the forum.

There's no such stack. It's discussed over the the so-called xda wiki here...

that works greeeaaaat , until now i tried file transfer and works %100
with Nokia S40 and S60 (6300 , N72 ) ,and i dont have a blutooth headset to try other functions ,
did any one want me to try something else with widcomm's stack ??????
thanks again Midget for your help and your beautiful ROM
thanks all ,

ok im testing it for aprox 2 hours
i have strange bugs , activesync connects after at least 10 sec from connecting USB
and my notification tab in setting\Sound and notification will open aprox after 6 seconds ,
i dont know if its just me or everyone got these few bugs
but the speed is excellent , may be 3 time or more faster than of M$

Yes, I can also confirm than Broadcom stack works great on new WM6 releases.
It is very fast, absorbs not much program memory, but quite a lot of storage memory
(>5MB, so I have now only 8MB on my storage space )
Works great with File Transfer, A2DP, OBEX Push, VCard Push and BT Serial
Ports (BT GPS). I will test HSP/HFP next week.
2 bugs:
- Can't turn off/on Bluetooth from Comm manager
- BT Icon in Setings->Conections is not VGA and has darker
background than Settings windows background...
Is this still in developement or abandoned?

I just installed Midget_1990 release of wm6 and cannot get A2DP to work, it skips and jumps horrendously no matter how i add or delete the custom reg hacks that have been posted.
Can anybody confirm an alternative method of fixing this, or whether this will fix it, and whether this is stable on this release or not.
Midget_1990, I noticed you have posted in this forum, could you comment, or advise on your release A2DP and or this widcomm version on your ROM?

Try Widcomm stack, I have tested A2DP - works fine with new WM6 ROMs, and
sound quality is good

no idea, i dont have any a2dp hardware to test.

installed widcomm/bluetooth stack found on ftp site. still beta i thin as an ex project by a rom cooker which appears to work great.
apparently, may be caused by cooked roms using the wm5 drivers. not sure if true or not.
btw widcomm is heaps better functional user friendly than the ms crap. wonder why no-one trfrd over to hermes. anyway, avrcp? doesnt work, but sound is trfrd.

New Bluetooth Stack: Broadcom 1.8.7

Guys,
What do you think if we have a new Bluetooth stack to our Uni?
It's Broadcom 1.8.7 Build 0600. So far I know it is the latest build from Broadcom.
This thread has been created using Internet Connection Sharing over Broadcom BT stack (1.8.7 Build 0600).
Cheers.

Hi Ranju!
I'm using currently the roadcomm stack provided by Helmi (UNIBT.cab) . It works well for me! I'm not at home this time, so I can't check the version of the build, but I'm sure that Helmi's is older! It would be cool if you could include the new stack in your ROM, or provide us just a cab file to install
Thanks for your great ROM too, Ranju!

BT Problem
How i understand the version on my BT stack - Broadcomm or other ?

Anyone can post a link to the cab for the latest BT ?

In my mind the widcomm/broadcomm stacks were the best! I have only one problem with them now. When I'm using the headset profile with Helmi's stack I can't receive or make calls using the BT headset, in fact I can't hear any audio at all. The other issue is that I believe that the headset button cannot be used to initiate microsoft voice command. If these issues can be resolved then I think there will be a mass following on this project!

I've started working on the latest Widcomm build. Basic part is working now.
Let's see ...

helmi's stack was ok, expect handsfree profile, if you will port newest version, and all necessary profiles (handsfree, a2dp, and others) will be working it would be great suprise for uni users

Do you make the Handfree profile working?
Few months ago, I've tried the 1.8.7 Build 300 combined with Helmi's old one, all ok but HF.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1731139&postcount=143
I DO think it's useless without HF.
Really expect your wonderful work!

How did you combine BT Stack v1.8.7.300 with the old? I can use any directions or help.

Any chance to have ActiveSync over BT working properly with this stack and your latest ROM?
Thank you for all your efforts!
Marco.

go ranju, go! seems like u r our only hope. other uni developers not so productive anymore now.

Last time I tried to install the Widcomm BT stack, it froze the phone after every bit of fiddling (i.e. after listening 1 minute of A2DP music, or after browsing the phone with FTP for 1 minute, etc)
Now that basic and some advanced profiles are also available for the MSBT stack, I don't miss the widcomm anymore.
Moreover, it's a pain in the ass to program! (i'm making a bluetooth-multiplayer game)

Where is it?

Whats the advantage that the broadcomm stack has over the MS stack? My BT is currently working perfectly (useing Ranju 7.4), A2DP works like a charm, calling thru the headset works fine. So why would we want to use another stack? (no rant, I'm really interested and want to know ;-)

It handles better with COM ports, and you can use even another phone as a BT modem for example. And the UI is much better

Hmmm... I would appriciate it. I'm struggeling with Helmi's Broadcomm BT stack, it complains about there not being enough memory. Though I do have more than 20Mb free.
And also, MS doesn't quiet work with stereo hands free either, it just stops after 5 secs. And I have tried a bunch of registry-tweaks.
So -I- for one, would appriciate work on a bluetooth stack that actually works, very much.
Thanks Ranju, for offering your work on this!
Thank you very much!

OK, maybe 4 you but for me the MS stack was ****ting with my GPS, i needed an hour to connect to my regular GPS! With Widcom it was just a click... And, for example with Ranju-s ROM you can't use another BT phone as a modem! Only with widcomm! (i know there are ROMs with MS BT wich CAN use other phone's internet conn. via BT...)
Is anybody testing this stack? Could we get a DL link to it? Thanx!

Jetware/Bluetooth Extension for HD2 Widcomm stack

Hi
My Topaz died over the holidays (oil spot under the screen) and in a fit of half drunken exuberance I ordered a HD2 from devicewire. I now have a shiny HD2 and I think I'm in LOVE
I already had the Sense UI installed on my Topaz (Duty's excellent Holy Grail R6 ROM) so it's not so much the UI which appeals, but everything is LOVELY when rendered on that gorgeous screen. Sitting in bed connecting to guardian.co.uk thru wi-fi, I can read the text on the mainpage without any zoom and the pages render so fast, it's like a flipping laptop!
BUT ... I have a problem. A problem related to the Widcomm stack. I have previously used Jetware to access the BT interface in my Audi for a number of HTC phones over the years. Unfortunately jetware won't work at all with the Widcomm stack. It's ironic, because the phone will actually sync fine with the car, but it tries to sync the entire phonebook (in excess of 1100 numbers). In the past, I've used Jetware to only sync around 80 of these contacts to the car (I put them in an outlook category called "car" and told jetware to only sync those).
I realise this is a pretty specific requirement, but I either need a version of Jetware which plays with the Widcomm stack, or an app that will only allow the vanilla Bluetooth in the phone to send ONLY the "car" category contacts to the phone. Anyone have any ideas? Due to my job, the people I need to talk to regularly can change quite a bit.
Any help much appreciated!!!
Thanks
Stoatie

Really? no-one? I'd offer £50 paypal payment to anyone who can make Jetware run on the Widcomm stack ... surely someone like Duty could knock this out in an afternoon??

I was also trying to install the jetware extension on my hd2 to get rid of the bluetooth connection problems with my carkit (losing connection after some time). But unfortunately it is not available yet on the widcomm stack...
Please post this when available....
Thanks
Dion

Another $50,- from me, if someone can make it...

I am having the same problem as well ... cant load the extensions in HD2
