Changing the bluetooth stack in Android?

How easy/difficult is it to achieve this feat, and is it a kernel dependency? Main reason I ask is that Sense UI is almost perfect, but it's BT stack is the only flaw, and for some a glaring one. How would one going about replacing HTC's deficient version with, say, Koush's Cyanogen Mod version which seems to work flawlessly? Thanks in advance for any answers or insight!

no one knows? i would have thought for sure somebody here would have done it or know if its possible. I'm looking for this as well

Bump... I've been asking the same question myself recently. I have an HTC Evo 4G and love my Sense-based ROM, but I hate the fact that I can't use certain Bluetooth accessories with it (ahem... Wiimote). Does someone have an answer?

Simple answer is no. You can try a CM based rom that gives you those options but the stacks cant be swapped due to driver problems. It is a give an take. The Default has better strength and range but is missing a few unneeded option (PO), while CM uses Bluz stack which gives you the option but you lose some BT signal strength and range.

[Q] FM Transmitter

I had thought about getting one for the G1, but I kinda forgot about it.
I remembered just now that it would be nice to have one now that I have a new phone, but I wouldn't mind knowing if any of you guys have any experiences and recommendations of a good FM transmitter that I can use.
I found one on Amazon with mostly good reviews, but it seems that most of them are for the Hero, G1, MT3G and Droid. So I'm a bit apprehensive about just buying it without researching first.
Here's the one I'm looking at:

If there are cheaper or better quality FM transmitters, please let me know.
Thanks!

I'd wait on this. It appears that an FM receiver AND transmitter is in the chipset capabilities of the G2, but the question is did they connect an antenna to it. It just got eMMC perma-root, so hold on a week or so--custom ROMs, possibly with this capability, are on their way.

Sweet. I didn't think an FM transmitter could be added within a ROM. That would be awesome!

It can't, but the FM transmitter is already there, so we just need to get software to support it.

If I recall correctly, the Nexus One had the same theoretical capabilities based on it's hardware, however, at this point nobody has taken advantage if it there either :-(

Don't we just need a kernel module and some userland software to interface with it?

Wanted to know if anyone has looked into this any further.

It needs not only kernel module (drivers) and userland interface, but also framework support as well. This is similar to A2DP audio redirection to bluetooth. The kernel has to be able to communicate with the audio device, the framework has to be able to redirect the audio there, and the user has to be able to configure and enable/disable it. It's a big project.

IIRC, the MIUI team was working on FM transmission as well.

They are talking about an FM Transmitter not Receiver Richierich... Yes FM Receiver works fine on CM and Desire roms but we want the Transmitter so we can send audio to the car radio.

[Q] Any News On The HTC Rezound RIL?

I saw the thread on CyanogenMod9 Alpha 2 for the rezound and was just wondering, how close are we to even getting the RIL to work for the Rezound? Is it anything similar at all to the Thunderbolt's RIL? (doubt it)
If anyone can answer any questions on anything about the AOSP RIL for the HTC Rezound, That would be amazing. I REALLLLLYY want that CyanogenMod like I had on my somewhat good ol' thunderbolt...

thanks for nice QQ, ans will be appreciated

No

Ril has been cracked by protekk. He got pissed at the community and said he's not releasing it here. It'll prolly be a month or 2 before it all settles and we see the benefits here.

I don't believe that he has a working ril. I have been looking and have seen no evidence of it.

[Q] Fm Radio?

Is it at all possible to use the FM radio with CM12.1?
I have tried a few different apps and old mods and none seem to work.
Any ideas?

Anyone?

as i know after installing costum rom like CM, you’ll lose Beats audio, which is actually a decent bass booster for your music apps. You’ll also lose the proprietary app for your FM radio. Unfortunately, the HTC FM Radio API is not available to other apps, so if you use the radio a lot then CM isn’t for you.
but please wait to expert users comment on this issue .

I remember some discussions about that and also remember that for using FM radio you need kernel support. There was an alternative FM radio app (not the one from HTC) and I recall some users reported that it's working. To be honest I never used my phone for listening music/radio so I never paid attention to such things. You might try with some of the custom kernels available (Frosted/Bricked, Mrak, IceCode) and see if FM radio works @javelinanddart or @Loreane Van Daal could have something to add here, I think they were also checking that feature

Yeah I think stock CM has Iris Radio FM Support
Spirit2 works great and there's a free (granted, less featured) version to try and see if you like it.
I used it and it worked wonderfully, only thing is (as always) you need headphones for the antenna.
Maybe it's just me, but it seems like Spirit2 doesn't get as good reception as the stock HTC FM Radio app but that only works on Sense ROMs

I installed FM radio on cm ROM and it works fine . thanks

Hello to anyone willing to help, I've recently began missing the fm radio which use to work on stock However appears to be broken with cm is there any way to get fm radio to work again with cyan or am I going to have to learn to live without fm radio? Thanks in advance for any help!
