[Q] When will android support Bluetooth 3.0? - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

It is very hard to find any information on this. Can anyone tell me when Android is going to support Bluetooth 3.0? It was one of the selling points of the Samsung Galaxy S and yet it still is not supported by android.
The necessary hardware is there but there is no support by android.

Anyone have any info on this? Google turns up nothing.

USB Keyboard support

It is my understanding that nobody has yet managed to successfully hook up a USB keyboard to an HTC Dream yet, or any other android phone. I doubt this is due to some hardware limitation as USBInput has recently been released for Windows Mobile phones (http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=products&platform=1&pid=18). In fact, the Linux kernel has an HID driver built in so getting USB keyboard support on android should definitely be possible.
Would anyone know either of a project to realise the above, or anyone who might be interested in doing this?
I dont think G1 has USB hosts
and
I perfer Bluetooth Keyboard and mouse support (this seems more reasonable~)
Actually it is said to have usb host capability, but the kernel tree available for the htc dream has nothing to enable it. Documentation from Qualcomm will likely be required in order to make use of the feature.

ANT+ enabling for Android

It seems like there is possibilities to receive ANT+ signals on htc legend.
Read more here, http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2010/07/behind-scenes-of-team-htc-columbia-and.html
Anyone know more about this?
Would it be possible to enable without waiting for htc software?
It would be great to use the phone as computer instead of buying a new device for my ANT+ devices.
Found out some more information.
Perhaps someone good developer can solve it

[Q] Android port to Sony Mylo 2

Anyone want to help me port a basic android (1.0 etc.) to the Mylo com-2? I've looked everywhere to see if anyone has completed this yet, but i haven't had any luck. If anyone knows anything about this or wants to help reply please!
I'm also porting it onto MYLO COM-2
To start you gotta find what version is best suited for mylo com-2 to be more exact you need to find a version of android to port that has similar hardware to mylo com-2 and of course edit the drivers,or you can compile it from source but then you will need to add your own drivers for the hardware of the mylo.
I'm working on to it (you gotta port every driver mylo hardware has to a specific version of android and test it) as i did the teardown of the mylo com-2 it will be quite difficult to port the drivers but i have mylo 2 disassembled and listed the hardware as shown below
You can help by compiling drivers for each hardwares using the source code (can be found on Sonys website) and using the mylo 2 table as shown above
Thanks

The chart doesnt seem to be showing on my computer.
I found the Source Codes through sony.
I was working on this as well. I think the big issue is going to getting access to the bootloader. I have been wondering if sony is using a jig stick or diagnostic boot mode for the mylo like the psp has. I have been trying to see if there is a way into some kind of bootloader menu but haven't found anything yet. I have also been looking at reverse engineering the update.bin files but to no avail. I do know quite a bit about the hardware onboard. I know it will support usb host.

Zorbon, im not sure of the progress, people say they have hardware info, but i never see any.

[Q] Nexus S bluetooth chip

Hi all,
I have an Android application that communicates with a medical device. However, it works only with specific Android version and only on few smartphone models...one of these is the Nexus S. For this reason, I'd like to know the bluetooth chip used by this smartphone (the manufacturer of the bluetooth interface...I don't know if I'm using the right words). In this way, I can search for a bluetooth dongle with the same chip and develop a desktop stand-alone application to interact with the medical device. So, do anyone know what bluetooth chip is on Nexus S?
Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to write HAL or Kernal Driver for Camera

I'm hoping someone may let me know if it's possible to write a Driver to access the Android Cameras' directly rather than the OEM's or the Camera API?
I'm looking to have an app that can access both Front and Back cameras at the same time for devices that have dual video processors and looking to hire a developer to do "this" if it's possible.
I imagine it would most likely be C++ at the Linux Kernal or HAL level?
I'm not sure if there's anything at that level that would prevent an app from using it's own driver either?
Android 9 now allows for Dual/Multi Camera support but at that higher level, the Camera2 API only works for some devices. Have tried on Galaxy S4, S6 and S9 all running Android 9 and only the S4 worked.
Any information would help me to see if it's worth pursuing and greatly appreciated.
Just wanted to renew this question. Hoping someone can let me know if it's possible to do this?
