Hi all,
I'm looking for rom with 100% working bluetooth. So if anyone can recommend?
Regards
CyanogenMod works fine with bluetooth.
So do any of the Ion-based roms (e.g. nk02's or AmonRA's)
yeah any rom that isnt hero or sense related will have working bt no problems.
Bluex won't work on 1.6 devices... not now.
Is bluetooth file transfer working on the HTC Magic official Sense UI?
Looks like redglasses has got it (dont know about the transfers though)... should be up soon according to him http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552274
I'm currently running Fireburned's WM 6.5 v3.1 ROM, which i have found to be pretty good overall, far better than the stock 6.0, but i tried to install Meboy 2.2 the other day and could getting a java.lang.ClassNotFoundException error. looking it up on the internet i found this was because the esmertrc java doesnt support the bluetooth transfer within java: is there any way to update the java program? Is this fixed inside the ROM, or can it be updated from a .cab file?
also i tried to install the MEBoy 1.6 version, which didnt ave any bluetooth features so was unsupported, and this installed fine, but when playing any games the characters flickered on screen, which made it almost unplayable. has anyone else had the same issue/ found a fix?
oh also im using JMEboy right now, again an older version without the bluetooth support. this one doesnt flicker but fails to load the image for certain games, is this because its too low on RAM maybe? its a good emulator otherwise
need a working java cab for meboy 2.2 to work
im hjaving the same problem some people got it work but one share info i been doing alogt googling still aint find a fix i tired every jbed prog i have a sch-i220 in a 8gb memory card can some one help us i wont to play pokemon with sound with memboy 2.2 but i have jbed with working pokemon meboy 1.1 but has no sound on that version only meboy 2.2 suport sound if someone no a working java prog can u please post cab or url
ok so i was now using MEBoy 1.6 today and it worked fine for most of the time, only seemed to flicker for a while after suspending the game
Hi,
I have tried the Android rom for desire on HD2. Thanks the developers, it is funny. However, I have to report some bugs and hope there is improvement in the future.
1) Sometimes the music player reported "no SD card" detected.
2) Pairing problem with SE bluetooth MW600. Can hear music playing by the phone but cannot make a call/receive a call. The device is functioning very well in WM6.5. Don't know if the bug exists with other bluetooth device.....
3) Cannot mount the SD card under Android platform with PC. Any 3rd party apps can do?
4) Built in Camcorder doesn't work without the optical sensor. Hard to find a 3rd party camcorder from Market!
5) The key at the bottom have no backlite at all. Cannot press the key in darkness.
6) Buttons on HD2 handsfree is not function (play, pause, forward, backward). Also not working for Music player or making calls.
my ROM configure:
Radio: 2.10.50.26
Android version: Android 2.1: darkstone_desirebuild_v5.7z
zImage is 7/23 version
This is old, I recommend you to use the newest Froyo Sense build with Cotulla's newest Kernel -> better experience...
Im using android 2.2 on my hd2 and ive had no trouble with it upgrade to 2.2 it should be ok then

And the fact that THIS IS AN ANDROID PORT, your device dosnt run android natively, meaning no everything works like it should, before posting questions STFF, ofcourse things arent working, its a work in progress, not a "place cab on your sd card, install it and BAM! your hd2 magicly transforms into a htc super ultra megatron holy grail perfect android device"....
Thanks bros, I will try your suggestions.
Of course, I know HD2 is not running Android natlively. I just try to report the problems I encountered. I hope the group will work around it and make it perfect.
If no one reports the problem, how can you improve?
Can anyone help me with the mms issue I try every setting I have found and no luck..I can receive mms but can't send them...darkstone froyo 2.2 custom rom Miri 17.6 on the t mobile hd2
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I'm looking to buy an HD2 or some other used handset to run and Android build on for now and potentially a build of Win7, when it becomes available. I know the HD2 has the hardware I'm looking for, and based on these posts, it looks likes its running froyo pretty well. I guess what I'm trying to ask is if this handset would be at the sweet spot between most compatible hardware to run the most current builds of Android and best price point for a used handset? i hope that question makes sense to somebody besides me
I really badly want to be able to use an external keyboard with my desire. Preferably full size. Is this possible?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I have a ThinkOutside bluetooth keyboard, and it works just fine.
You cannot, at the moment, be using a Sense-rom - HTC are using an old bluetooth stack or something along those lines, and bluetooth HID devices (such as keyboards or wiimotes) wont connect.
I am using OpenDesire 3.1, and as soon as i pair the keyboard, it recognises it as an HID device and i can type straight away.
Unfortunately, some other roms (like DeFrost 2.5a) do not detect the keyboard as an HID device and do not work straight away. To get it to work, what I did was install an app in the market called Bluekeyboard JP (free) which detected the keyboard and allowed typing.
Josh.
I use the original rom with froyo, and cant get my nokia SU-8W (HID) to work.
I sent HTC support a note about this, and hope that if enough people do this, they'll include it at some point.
btw. I tried 3 different apps.
BlueKeyboard JP looks the best, and has been reported working on a nexus 1 froyo

there's NO support for HID (so, even bt keyboards) in kernel based on standard rom... so, the question is useless: you cannot pair it with the desire... the only way to make it possible is, as already written, use a rom based on android AOSP, like opendesire... but doing so, you will loose sense... choice is yours...
So, if i flash with OpenDesire i will be able to use a bluetooth keyboard. Any bluetooth keyboard or are there specific types? i don't want to go out and buy a nice one only to find out it is one blue tooth revision too old or something.
You won't get any guarantees here. If you want to be sure, you might want to pay a little more at a store who have a decent returns policy (just in case it doesn't work) or who will allow you to test if it works.
Android uses the bluez software for connecting to bluetooth devices (which is the same software that many desktop Linux distributions use). This should support the bulk of (standard) HID devices.
But then.. I never got Ubuntu to work with my Logitech MX 5000.. you might want to stay clear of the Logitech bluetooth products, as many of the bluez issues on Linux suport boards appear to be about their products.
Thanks for the answers guys. I'll try my best to try before I buy lol.
I wish I find this post earlier... spent hours on the web looking for clues to this. Now I am very happy typing with my ThinkOutside Stowaway keyboard on my Desire with OpenDesire ROM. Then when I don't need to type I can quickly flash and restore to LeeDroid with Sense UI.
But I learned thru the trial process how to adb push files and and how to access the phone on a PC. and the whole concept about rooting, recovery, and flashing ROMs.
Hi, are there any news with BT-Keyboards and the current Sense-Roms?
I would like to buy a keyboard like the freedom touch pro or the previously linked dealxtreme one. But I love Sense and don't want to lose that.

It's not a limitation of the BT keyboard preventing you from using it with Sense-enabled Desire, it's the Desire's Sense kernel which prevents you from using a BT keyboard. Like the guy above me said, used an AOSP-based Android ROM if you want to use a BT keyboard with your Desire.
Sorry, seems that I misunderstood that part.
I'm running LeeDroid v2.2 currently, anybody here who tried a BT Keyboard with that?
Hey, just wanted to post an update:
I bought the Freedom TouchPro Keyboard and it works like a charm with my Desire.
In fact I‘m just writing this Post on it. Just took it out of the box and followed the instructions.
As I said I‘m using LeeDroid 2.2.
Bluetooth keyboard and standard Froyo 2.2
Just to confirm, my no_name BT keyboard doesn't go on stock Froyo 2.2 (first thing I checked after the update).
The keyboard works flawless under Windows XP and Windows Mobile 6.5.3.
Didn't know that OpenDesire supports HID BT. I am considering rooting right now
I've also got a Logitec DiNovo mini that doesn't work with the Stock Froyo.
I might well look at rooting soon too...

BT Keyboard workind
*rooted
*wiped all
*new rom OpenDesire 4.0.36
*downloaded 'Bluekeyboard JP' from Market
*tick 'on' bluekeyboard as input method in settings
*connected to BT Keyboard (no_name)
*choose bluekeyboard as input method in textbox
And....... it's working (recognized as a HID device). Typing docs with Docs To Go 3.0 works fine.
Why HTC doesn't support this from the box remains a mystery for me. It would be great for business oriented buyers.
why do you use Bluekeyboard JP?
To connect a Bluetooth Keyboard, any BT keyboard that supports HID (all keyboards do), you just need an AOSP ROM, like CyanogenMod, Defrost or OpenDesire. Then you just have to pair it and use it. That's it.
If you need a different keyboard layout then you just have to modify the keyboard layout file on the phone memory.
Bluekeyboard
Dunno. I thought that I needed Bluekeyboard, but thanks for the heads up. Will delete Bluekeyboard and see how she goes.
No Bluekeyboard necessary
Unintalled Bluekeyboard and, indeed, the BT keyboard still works fine
Will I be able to connect a BT keyboard to HTC Desire HD?
Will it accept HID devices?
HTC Desire didnt becouse it used an old BT driver or something like that.
Is the HDH useing a newer driverpack?
Bluetooth keyboards & Desire HD
I am keen to know the answer to this one. Being able to connect a bluetooth keyboard to my HTC Touch HD (WM 6.1) phone is one of the reasons I still enjoy using it. I hope moving to Android with the DHD does not rule this out.
I spent 30 mins tryinh the Freedom i-connex, and even installing drivers I couldn't get it to work.
To be fair I did just give up as I lost interest, but it's definitely not just a simple quick and easy thing.
Very unlikely to work, HTC has their own BT implementation and its not yet worked on any of their phones (until Cyanogenmod ROM comes anyways).
Samsung Galaxy S does support on 2.2 firmwares, as does the Dell Streak, and every phone with an available Cyanogenmod ROM, if thats a consideration for you.
My Mini bluetooth keyboard http://www.chinavasion.com/product_info.php/pName/mini-bluetooth-keyboard-for-smartphones/ from Ebay is on the way, i hope with treksoft Blueinput software http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=products&platform=2&pid=24 it will be ok with HTC DHD.
So, after a test, it is definitely not working for my DHD (bundled android driver or trial teksoft blueinput for android). So bad :-/ Hope for some useful upgrade in the future...
Will we get better BT support with then new Gingerbread Android 2.3?
Sounds as if it wouldnt be hard implementing good BT drivers in this kind
of phone to start with.
Wonder way HTC dont want us to use BT peripherials??
Any news about Gingerbread and BT HID driver?

I asked from HTC Support and:
"Peter, the HTC Desire phone does not come with the Bluetooth HID protocol. There is no method of putting this protocol onto your phone and we cannot guarantee that it will be included in any future updates."
But the HID is working with the Oxygen v2.0 RC4.
Nice regards
Peter

I used this driver:

I was not able to plug my apple bluetooth keyboard under the official sense rom on the desire HD.
However, after installing the latest "stable" cyanogen (6.1), bluetooth is working, and I can connect and use the keyboard (it uses the HID profile).
Hi @All
I am playing with wiimot, my snes games.
Cyanogenmod 6.1.3
ONLY with sense ROMs dont work The Bluetooth driver
Have yesterday nonstop over 10h playing
Hi, just read about the "non-possibility" to link bluetooth keyboards, unless to root (if well understood with cyanogen), or use Keypro, welllll....
I'm no hero, o rooting I do not see as a solution and Keypro desn't do the trick either.
Problem on my side it that the pairing works, but once paired, the system indicates "paired, but disconnected" & no chance to connect???
I have a flexible (silicone) keyboard and really like to use it.
Anyone an idea?
Thanks in advance
Noone could use a human input device via bluetooth yet on HTC and Samusng droids due to the fact the manufacturer's OS is simply incompatible with these devices. It seems like the only way to use a device like that if u get a custom OS on your device. I tried to bug HTC with my questions like why exactly can't they provide an OS with bluetooth HID support meanwhile an unofficial developer can deal with it. Got no explanation, just the repeated answer saying that it is currently not compatible with HTC devices. And I should check for updates regularly. Maybe if the more people would bug them... Give it a go everyone. Would be great to use mouse, keyb, gamepads...
Hi all, i'm looking for the same solution too and found an apps called "BlueInput" which claimed to be a working driver, can anyone please try it with your BT keyboard since I haven't bought a keyboard yet... Thanks a lot!!
Here's the link of the apps, and I've seen a demo version on Andriod market:
http://www.mobihand.com/263//product.asp?id=415867
tested with my key-board: doesn't work
Found however following link (also via XDA): i-miss-erin.blogspot.com/2009/09/connect-bluetooth-keyboard-in-android.html
But seen my faculties/knowlegde regading tooring etc, I haven't tried.
If anyone could help me with an "easy root for moorons" - please contact me....
I am fighting for the operation of my Bluetooth Keyboard Nokia SU-8W on the DHD so far without success.
Any suggestions?
I haven't tried CyanogenMod 6.1.3 or 7 Rom but if this is the only way to have the keyboard worked, I think I'll have to learnt to root now =_="
I've bought a BT keyboard and installed BlueInput, it don't work on my DHD, but it works very well on my sister's Dell Venue =_=" What a shame!
IRXON BT HID keyboard from dealextreme doesn't work with HTC Magic stock or DHD stock / Leedroid ROMS.
Amusingly enough, this worked like a charm with a jailbroken iphone 2g. Can anyone else confirm support for HID keyboards on the Desire HD with CM 6.1 or CM7 ?
EDIT: Naturally, tried every input app in the market, including BlueInput demo, another app for japanese HID keyboards and even BT input drivers for Zeemote and MSI BT gamepads
Anyone tried on the market:
"Bluetooth Keyboard Easyconnect" from Mike van der Sluis?
If so & successful, think I really need to get the rooting knowlegde (well knowing that with the current 2.2.1 no rooting is possible, so a downgrade is needed etc etc etc....... - in other words: HELP!)
