I flashed my HTC Hero with the Elelinux rom, which is based on the CyanogenMod. One of the reasons for me to root and flash a new rom was to get a Bluetooth keyboard to work with my phone. Sadly, I dont get my bluetooth HID keyboard to work, even trough Cyanogen supposedly supports Bluetooth HID. I tried the app Blueimput in order to help things, but this doesn't seem to work either.
I really would like to have this on my HTC Hero, so therefore my question is:
Does anyone know a rom, radio, app or a combination of the latter to make my bluetooth keyboard interact successfully with my HTC Hero?

Ok.... Firstly if i have this wrong I apologise in advance... I have read the Q&A's going back a good time and searched the forums for HTC touch2 threads but cant find this subject anywhere... I hope i havent just missed or misunderstood the jargon !!
I have just been issued a HTC touch2 phone and i am having compatability problems setting it up to use via bluetooth with my VW UHV PREM in car system. I have read tons of forum pieces on similar problems with HTC Phones but dont fully understand the solution and the touch2 isn't specifically mentioned... VW say the phone should be rSAP complatible... what is rSAP and how do i make this thing work... I have enabled SAP and the car has found and paired the phone but refuses to connect at all ... HEEELLLPPPP ...
you need a combination of ROM and kernel that support that. gingerbread had some roms and kernels which were able to connect via rsap to you vw uhv.
but to be honest, i dont know much about htc roms or kernels, which means you need to try for yourself.
this app is afaik the only solution for recent ICS versions and runs as form of an addon to your rom / kernel. just search for bluetooth sim access profile in the market
note, that this app will not guarantee you a succesful rsap connection, but with my sgs2 it is recently the only solution to get it working somehow.+
for an explanation about rsap i suggest google
in short terms it provides the sim to another device (like your radio), which includes the possibility to call, read sms, use contacts directly through your car.
which leaves your phone in kind of airplane mode.
combinations of android build + kernel for bluetooth SIM access profile
Hello
Can anyone provide a list of suitable combinations of android build + kernel for bluetooth SIM access profile (e. g. rSAP)?
I have Slim ROM with android 4.3.1, there it does not work.
Thanks.
I have the iGo Ultra Slim Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard and can't use it with my Desire. I can pair it just fine, but after pairing I can't connect to it and use it as an input device.
Has anyone figured out how to use a BT keyboard with his Desire?

Hate to say this:
Search!
You have a HID Keyboard, byt you need a SIP Keyboard, like the Freedom Universal.
The you have to get a good BT driver.
What I find out :
HTC uses old bleutooth stack with its Sense UI and I failed to connect my ThinkOutside keyboard with several successful solutions for other android phone.
Now I am very happy typing with it on my Desire with the OpenDesire ROM. It recognizes it and connect with it straight away and even some of the function keys works (tho not yet for the task specific keys).
But have to give up Sense UI for that. But I find that it's pretty fast to just restore to another ROM with Sense and I can get best of both worlds.
My Sensation will only connect to my BMW as a headset meaning that I cannot use the car's internal system to show/select phone contacts, etc. By contrast my Vibrant works perfectly.
Does anyone know what causes this problem and can it be fixed?
I have a May 2009 BMW 330d Touring and I get the full Sensation address book downloaded into my car, no problems. I can then choose a contact from the car's system list and make it dial out on the Sensation handset. Also, when a call comes in from a contact stored in the list, the caller's name comes up on the car's display.
Maybe your car is older or has an older Bluetooth firmware, ask your dealer and they may be able to help. Otherwise, there are plenty of BMW user forums on the web and they often know a lot more about the car than your dealership!

I have an 07 530i and a 09 X5. They both will not load the contacts. I previously had a G2 and Mytouch4g rooted CM7 and they both load the contacts. The HTC Sensation does not use the vanilla Bluetooth stack from android. HTC left out a few instructions in the stacks and also they customized a contacts to link other info, thus doesn't really upload the contacts to the car. If anyone knows a work around, I'd love to know...other than rooting. Fingers crossed, unlock bootloader is coming in Aug from HTC or if the awesome dev guys here can do it before then that's even better!

My Nexus One running CM7 works fine with my 2006 BMW 325i, I am able to see my contacts, make phone calls...
With my HTC Sensation, I see no phonebook on my BMW; however, I am able to make and receive phone calls through bluetooth.
Seems to agree with your theory that HTC made tweaks to the bluetooth contacts, which is why Sense ROMS have problems, yet AOSP roms do not.
Has there been any progress in getting the Sensation to sync contacts on the BMW?
For what i know, bmw bluetooth connectivety only works full with bmw phones, I mean full function. There is a list on the internet, with the specify models and kind of phones they will support (full support)

I have exactly the same problem on my 2007 335i. Bluetooth works as a headset only on all Sense ROMs (stock, Leedroid, Android Revolution HD) but works perfectly with full contacts sync on AOSP ROMs (which is what has me currently using CM7.)
It does seem to be a Sense issue -- and I've tried Sense 3.0 and 3.5, on Android 2.3.5 and 4.0.3, with no success on any of them. Even a Sense ROM with the Bricked or Faux kernels doesn't work, while an AOSP ROM with the same kernels does. I don't know what Sense does to Bluetooth, but I do wish it would stop it.
I doesn't appear you can have a bluetooth work with the Mesmerize for lack of the right BT profile.
BUT perhaps I'm wrong and hope so...
Has anyone gotten a BT keyboard to pair and actually work?
Thanks!

The only rom I have tested that works on the mesmerize that supports bluetooth HID profile is CM7. I am not a programmer so I don't know what is involved with somehow porting the way CM7 is able to support this (bluetooth keyboard, wiimote, etc). I would love to see some type of flash that replaces whatever is necessary on the stock rom that makes it work. I am very appreciative for all the rom support his phone has now for all the developers here that support and port for it. I am running PNP 1.1 and it works great...HID support would be awesome if it is possible
Hi guys
I'm having an issue with the apple wireless keyboard working with CM9
this happens on both official nightly CM9 (I'm on that now) and on OpenSensation.
I have had a couple of reports from other users that some other bluetooth keyboards work - but nobody that i found that specifically uses the apple wireless keyboard.
This is what happens:
I turn on bluetooth and go to pair the keyboard. half the time the pairing takes a few goes, and often i have to restart the bluetooth. When it does connect is says "connected" on the bluetooth settings.
however, there is no input or reaction from the keyboard. It's as if the keyboard doesn't know it's connected. disconnecting and repairing doesn't change anything and neither do full wipes or cache and dalvik wipes.
Anybody got any thoughts on this?
bluetooth keyboard
usually the bluetooth recognition keyboards are "specifically" for those phones.... if other ppl can use it, perhaps its because their kernel settings have been changed or it doesnt detect for some incompatible issues and it allows them to use the keyboard, do u have a custom kernel and or custom version of htc, from the development section? usually a custom kernel can modify this setting and allow your bt keyboard that's not made for the htc to work since it will bypass the verification part
Hi, thanks for the reply.
As I said I'm on official cm9, I tried a different kernel to see if it would change, but no, by default I'm on the standard cm9 kernel, whatever that is.
I believe that open sensation used faux (correct me if I'm wrong), I'm not certain about cm9. Either way, other people on open sensation had other keyboards working for them and hopefully they would have mentioned if they were using a different kernel...

no more thoughts on this?
faux kernel knocked out wifi and BT on CM9 nightlies, so that's out of the question.
any help would be great!
CM9 + Apple BT Keyboard
Same behaviour for me (I'm on a Nexus S though). CM9 nightlies, Apple BT keyboard pairs fine and says it's connected but then no keystrokes are registered on the device... nothing happens when I type. Frustrating!
