Bluetooth Keyboard driver for Android - G1 Android Development

Yesterday I saw this picture on another forum:
It appears to be a bluetooth keyboard driver for the android, and the screenshot already shows a successfully connected keyboard with what seems to be some test input text.
Unfortunately no apk no nothing.
Here is the thread on xda-devs discussing this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508026
And here is where I've found the picture:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-droid-eris/1158-external-bluetooth-keyboard-droid.html
Let's try to identify this software and get our hands on the apk, for the major good of our android devices !

http://www.mytouch3gaccessories.net/bluetooth-keyboard-b0056.html
Does the Mytouch have a HID profile? This keyboard implies such.

Maybe a stupid remark, but in the picture in OP, the bluetooth symbol doesn't appear to have any devices connected.

I think the app is not using the google api since the bluetooth functionality provided is so limited:
http://sites.google.com/a/android.com/opensource/projects/bluetooth-faq
So maybe this explains the icon's state.

No. Read the page more carefully. It clearly states that the MT3G does not currently support the HID profile.

I wonder if the majority of Android users are rooting their devices. Seems like a must have for the more exotic applications.

Yes, I worded poorly. I more accurately meant, "Has the MT3G been hacked to support the HID profile?" The claim at in the ad implied they could do it, but that's hardly confirmation that it works.
Subsequent searches yielded the two links I added in the edit. Indeed some have gotten a HID profile to work.

So I just got my logitech bluetooth keyboard connected to my Magic, running excellently

If anyone wants a guide as to how I did it I could put it up

Please do!

The instructions at http://i-miss-erin.blogspot.com/2009/09/connect-bluetooth-keyboard-in-android.html should be easy enough, I got my Dell BT keyboard working on my G1 without problems.

Yep thats what I used

...well, what about the reverse? Is it possible to use the Dream device keyboard via bluetooth to communicate with, let's say, a PS3 for example?
(be nice, I really don't have a clue lol)

that's awesome. I got it to work with my iGo stowaway keyboard but only briefly. Do I have to type the hciconfig commands in a terminal or adb shell each time I want to connect? Looks like an opportunity to put an app in the Market

There's no need to push the files mentioned in the link. At least for CM 4.2.5. My Apple BT keyboard works just using the hidd commands. Now we need to write a script to do this, using solely the hidd --connect command, with the appropriate device MAC, then linked to a shortcut on one of the home screens. Very nice.
edit: typo correction

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486486
Easy to make a shell script shortcut with the program here. Do...
hidd --connect MAC
with su, then link to a shortcut on the desktop via a long press.

This is actually what I would like. A lot of Sony Ericsson phones have had that ability since the Bluetooth 1.2 days.

easier way plz
could someone please post an easier way 2 do dis cause i went to the site(http://i-miss-erin.blogspot.com/2009/09/connect-bluetooth-keyboard-in-android.html) and i do not get wat i hav 2 do i know adb has somethin to do with it but what do i do and what do i download from the site please help

Well yes, this is what we all want to have.
And there is an app I've posted in the first message, and I think I know where the installer is from.

There really is no easier way unless someone writes an app or a script to automate the commands.
Not to be a **** but if you don't understand the instructions on that blog then you are really risking seriously damaging your device by doing things that are on this site. I am surprised you were able to root...

Wow, this works perfectly.
For total noobs - if you follow the instructions from the link - before running the commands, you obviously have to:
# chmod +x hcitool
# chmod +x hidd
(otherwise ull get permission denied)
also you might want to change system back to ro when you are done
# mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
I really wonder why Google doesnt put any effort in developing HID bluetooth service for Android. Would be really cool to be able to use different types of input devices (especially for games/typing).

The G keyboard

I'm not sure if this has been asked but can i get an update.zip that has the G keyboard, the onscreen one, for my H build?
i doubt that will be done
because both builds are pretty much the same
if u want the google keyboard use the G build...
thats why haykuro made two builds
because of two different sources
now if he were to port everytihng from the g build to the h build and from the h build to the g build what purpose would that serve?
The purpose would be one has has the dev support and such. And i choose not to use the G one because of the lack of market support currently.

G doesn't lack market support. Something is blocking it. It was working fine until we ALL randomly lost the ability to download. I'm sure the support will be back soon.

Ok I know it has the market so let me rephrase that, it lacks app download support.
what about if i wanted to move the G keyboard to H myself? would that work? where wouuld i find it? I have looked thru the update.zip and dont see anything jump out at me...
thats what I want to the black keyboard on the H version would look and feel way more sleeker
Im glad to see im not the only one. And im pretty sure its like the whole usr folder
Looking forward to this
I also wanted the G build keyboard on the H build, it seems faster than the H build.
so where is it? I am happy to have a crack at it butnot sure what i have to push across, or swap into the zip...

dudes its easy, i have the HTC keyboard and the G keyboard on my g build, jsut use ADB to push the latinIME.apk to your system/app folder on your device, reboot and bam.

Don't work ^^. It always force close
joeydsmith:
Funny enough, HTC and Google put things together differently.
HTC_CIME.apk is self-contained, while latinIME.apk depends on some ressources (the button-sprites atleast, they're in framework-res.apk).
So... Don't say it's easy unless you have tried, or are sure things will work
funbacon:
Well, thats not a very good explanation of the problem.
Throw latinIME.apk over, and watch logcat for the errors. It's probably missing some ressources, but giving it them is hard without knowing which ones it want

well whatever.
Well i was trying that. I have made an update.zip and one by one added the files that it sad it was missing, so idont know how long this will take nor do i know if it will work. Any other ideas?
Using recovery for update is intended for distribution of updates/patches.
If you want to see if your modifcations work, pushing them with adb to /system would be much faster ("adb shell", "su", "busybox mount -o remount,rw /system", "exit", "adb push ./yourfile /system/where/you/want/the/file", "adb shell", "su", "busybox mount -o remount,ro /system", looks long, but it's better than pushing the zip, and rebooting to recovery )

VNC Server for Nexus One

This is a work in progress. I fixed the code at http://code.google.com/p/android-vnc/ . It has limited value right now, but someone may have a use for it.
It listens on standard port 5900. I copy the fbvncserver app to /data/local/bin/ using adb:
Code:
adb push fbvncserver /data/local/bin/
From adb shell (with wifi on) run the commands:
Code:
# chmod +x /data/local/bin/fbvncserver
# fbvncserver
From your desktop computer, use any Vnc client to connect to your phone using its wifi ip address.
To do: Compile and test the keyboard driver. Add code to enable using a mouse to control the session, as theres no code for that yet.
Download fbvncserver
Nice, if only it had input
Nice, I got it working. Used my 1024x768 laptop, made me further appreciate the resolution of this device.

Well, right now at least (unless I'm doing it wrong), neither -- you can watch your phone with your PC. A just because kind of thing.
Get this thing running, fire up a vnc client on your machine, get cam studio humming and there's your video screen capture.
does it display the correct colours now?
i tried fixing it back then, even compiled the keyboard driver to the kernel. but i can't seem to register any input. i hope you succeed. i would love a vnc on my phone!

[Q] I'm a noob

So as you all can tell....I'm new to this forum and to the Android platform as well. I just switched from my Iphone to the Galaxy S 4g and it has been great so far! After doing a little research myself I was able to root the phone via superoneclick. As I was reading further into the certain roms that are out and things I could do to further enhance my phone, I decided to get the new gingerbread 2.3.3. I used the program called Odin 1.7 to flash rom and besides from the known "rainbow screen issue and the low wifi signal" it is running smooth. I was just curious on what these programs called adb, cwm(clockwork mods I believe), and cyanogen7? are used for and how? I apologize for my noobness for asking these questions but I just feel like a kid in a candy store with no cash to spend hahah. If someone can redirect me to some links that can get me a general idea of how the Android software and mods work that would be great!!!
I remember signing up for these forums and not actually using them 'cause I was reading and trying to catch up with the vast amount of info available here... It was overwhelming to say the least.
ADB is the Android Debug Bridge. If you've ever used the command prompt, it's essentially the same. You type in commands and they get executed on the phone. I still argue that you get more power and flexibility through text-based programs, which ADB will let you use. You can use ADB if you use your phone to go into Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging (check the box next to it) then you can hook up your phone to the computer and run the ADB server on the computer. If you have superoneclick, it should've come with the ADB server as part of the tools.
CWM is a recovery mod, it sits on top of the phone's standard recovery program and gives you more power than the default one. You can make complete and partial backups of your phone's data in case you're flashing roms constantly and something goes wrong. You won't be able to use CWM with gingerbread at this moment since there's no support for it, but if you downgrade to Froyo, you'll be able to.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1099374
Cyanogen Mod isn't available for our phone yet, but it's a popular rom on the phones on which it is available.
Have fun!
EDIT:
You should probably bookmark the bible, lots of good references there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117554
welcome to the forum! glad everything works well for you on the first time flashing gingerbread. you can read up on everything in the bible thread below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117554
check out the guides and it should give you a pretty good feel on everything.
Welcome to XDA!
First of all, kudos to the fact that you're brand new and you've already learned to ODIN gingerbread yourself.
ADB is a way of transferring and editing files on your phone.
It's very useful for editing system files, etc.
Not really necessary for you to know right now.
CWM, or ClockWorkMod, is an easy way for you to change your phone theme, apply a ROM (a combination of themes, or modifications), or flash tweaks. Right now, Gingerbread doesn't have CWM but it should be coming in the near future.
For the basics and a few tutorials, look for the GS4G bible, and also look at my tiny little guide, here.
dan, whenever people ask for places to get info, i'm going to give the bible as well as a link to your site too, if thats cool. you have a ton of info and it saved me when i first bricked. lol. (it was like 1230 or something and search was down)

You honestly don't really need ADB if you have Root Explorer, or QuickSSH'd (which I love).

If you don't wanna pay for QuickSSHd you can also get SSHDroid
https://market.android.com/details?id=berserker.android.apps.sshdroid
You install the app on your phone, then you can get a program on your computer that supports SSH
Putty
WinSCP
Tunnelier
I prefer Putty for running commands and Tunnelier for transferring files. When you run SSHDroid, it'll explain to you how to use it.

[patch/fix] bluetooth tethering

I needed to tether to my Transformer Prime tablet over Bluetooth and installed CM9, only to discover that Bluetooth was well, broken. Checking netcfg, the problem appeared to be that Bluetooth had a default MAC address of 43:29:b0:00:00:00. This post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23924341&postcount=10 suggests that it shouldn't affect bluetooth, but I suspected a bad MAC address would break Bluetooth PAN.
Looking around it looks like the property ro.bt.btaddr_path is supposed to be set from efs. Problems: 1 - property is not set 2 - I have no idea how to read efs.
So I dug around the source code and figured out that some program called brcm_patchram_plus is supposed to set the MAC address. I hardcoded the MAC address and voila! Bluetooth PAN and tethering work!
I provide the brcm_patchram_plus to this post in case anyone needs a quick fix to this problem - I think the new behavior I add is actually okay, if it errors on finding " ro.bt.btaddr_path", it sets the MAC to c8:ef:ab:cc:17:20, which other bt devices should be happy with. I'd submit this to git somewhere but haven't figured out how to do it.
The correct fix should be to check if some file exists in init.rc, if it doesn't generate a random file containing a mac address and set ro.bt.btaddr_path to it. Don't have time to do that, so I'll leave it to people here.
Also, I don't know how to make a update.zip anymore, so I'll let other people figure it out. But using some terminal emulator, first copy brcm_patchram_plus to your sdcard and run:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
cp /sdcard/brcm_patchram_plus /system/bin/brcm_patchram_plus
chmod 755 /system/bin/brcm_patchram_plus
restart your phone. You'll probably have to repair everything since you have a new MAC now. also your MAC will be set to c8:ef:ab:cc:17:20.

Yeah, but like you mentioned earlier in the quote from jnadke -- the efs partition would have to be mounted...
...but the cm update process nukes the efs partition from the partition map.
The solution is one where we backup the existing mac address before converting the device to MTD during the update process.
This would require everyone to odin/heimdall and then reconvert; but it's worth it I guess.
Sometimes things just go overlooked.

It wasn't an assumption - that would require me to make the statement before I observed both my phone and computer reporting the generic MAC address for my phone. I must be missing a key detail, but I was only observing my results and making the temporary fix easier to find for other users who might have the same issue. I'm sorry that it was misunderstood. Now that I'm aware that you have posted more info, I will correct my own misunderstanding.

[2013.04.12][4.0.3+] Hotspot Control v1.1

Hotspot Control is a tiny app that enables or disables Portable Hotspot functionality of Android. Usually you could just do this in Android settings, but on some devices this option is hidden, or only works if you have a SIM inserted.
Hotspot Control does away with those requirements, assuming that the hotspot functionality itself is actually still present and operational on the device. Rooting is *usually* not required.
THIS IS NOT DESIGNED TO BEAT YOUR CARRIER'S TETHERING PROTECTION - For some people it does (it depends on how that protection is implemented) but this is not what the app was made for. It's no use complaining that it doesn't do this for you. This app is designed to circumvent some issues when setting up a local hotspot so your devices can communicate with eachother, not with the internet (though that also works on several devices).
You can configure the access point (hotspot) name and password, encryption used is alway WPA2 AES + TKIP, to keep it simple.
On some devices that do not have a cellular data connection capability (like the Nexus 10) the hotspot will not give out IP addresses - the app will auto-detect this situation and fix it, but root is required for that option. Note that without root on these devices, the connected devices can still communicate if you configure their IP addresses manually, but that is something for the advanced user.
I personally need this to create a private network (even without a SIM, and thus without an actual internet connection) in the field between a number of my devices. Some genius at Samsung decided that my Note II shouldn't create an access point if no SIM is present - I beg to differ! Maybe someone else has use for this as well.
This is probably not useful for more than a handful of people, but still ... I had to build it for myself anyway, might as well share it !
Download from Google Play
REDISTRIBUTION IS *NOT* ALLOWED
Changelogs
2013.04.12 - v1.1
- Added (automatically detected) feature to fix the issue with some devices that do not have cellular data capability (like the Nexus 10) that they do not give out IP addresses. Unfortunately this does require root to fix.

Thanks a lot! It will come in handy sometime for sure!
Works well for now

Hi, anyone knows if this app enables wi-fi tethering for the Galaxy Note with Paranoidandroid rom?
Thanks

A sideload version, please
Google Play says my International Note N7000 is "not compatible" and will not download the app to me. Please put up a sideload apk so we can at least give you feedback on what works, and what doesn't
Omg! Omg!! Omg!!!
I was looking for this kind of app for quite some time now.
It is exactly like WIFI DIRECT - but for the devices which don't have this option,
hotspot control is a god send one.
I'm able to connect/transfer files/use remote control on my android TV box (MINIX NEO X5) from GALAXY TAB 10.1.
All this "without router" + NO WIFI + NO INTERNET.
Fantastic job by CHAINFIRE.
Keep-up the good work.
Great service to android community.:laugh:
Tiny suggestion : Somewhere pl say that the NAME and password should be minimum of 8 characters and above.
If it is done already.... pl ignore

Why is everybody not seeing this ? I've gotten about 30 questions in total here, through PM, and through email, about the name and password of the hotspot - it says "8-32 ASCII characters" right on the button you click to modify the name, and "8-63 ASCII characters" right on the button you click to modify the password. It's going to be hard to make it any more clear than that !

I tried to install on my German N7000 2.3.6 XXLA4 TW but received "Problem parsing the package." The apk looks intact when I examine it, no obvious file corruption. And, of course, 'unknown sources' is enabled. Is it perhaps not GingerBread compatible?

Look at title 0_o
sony xperia ray
ics 4.0.4 rooted
stock rom
Works fine on Micromax-P275 tablet
Thanks a lot for the app. Its really nice. I could get wifi hotspot up and running on Micromax-P275 tablet without any difficulty.
I wanted to share my internet connection over the wifi hotspot but found that the routes were not getting set in the mobile. I am not sure where the problem lies. I had to run the following set of commands to get the desired routing done.
----------------
<pre>
#!/system/bin/sh
# script to enable internet sharing over wifi in micromax tablet.
# run this with root permission after starting the wifi "Hotspot Control" software.
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
/system/bin/iptables -F
/system/bin/iptables -F -t nat
/system/bin/iptables -I FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
/system/bin/iptables -I FORWARD -s 192.168.42.0/24 -j ACCEPT
/system/bin/iptables -P FORWARD DROP
/system/bin/iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -s 192.168.42.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
</pre>

Was the app supposed to allow sharing of the internet connection?

I can't speak for this cool app, but on CM and AOKP (ASOP roms) tethering was not initially functional on Jelly Bean 10.1 . This now has been fixed on most AOSP 10.1 roms. So it could be that or both.
