I've been running CM7 nightlies on my Nook Color for months, and finally took the plunge this week with my G2x. Dummy me for not doing it much sooner. Running the current stable release, 7.1.0.1.
Question is I'm trying to get audio over the bluetooth in my car to work, but nothing. I haven't found any setting in the phone to enable A2DP, does such a setting exist? Is there an apk or something to install?
I've searched, and most of what I've found indicates it just works with bluetooth on. I suspect there's something with my car's bluetooth that doesn't play nice with music over audio.
Thanks for any and all assistance.

Are you sure your car supports a2dp? Some just support headset functions. You don't really "enable" a2dp, you pair the phone to the car's bluetooth (settings->wireless->bluetooth). When the phone detects that it is connected to an a2dp device, it should send audio to it automatically.
Turn off wifi calling. Some say they have problems with it on.

I've had a2dp not work on my phone a couple times, but simply disconnecting the bluetooth device, turning off and back on bluetooth on the phone, then re-connecting solved the problem.
I think it's just my car stereo. I've got a 2011 vehicle with bluetooth calling, but it doesn't seem to kick in with bluetooth audio no matter what combination of BT/Wifi/Calling I use.
Thanks for the insight guys.
Sorry to hear that. Was it working on stock roms?

Nope, never had any sort of bluetooth streaming audio in my car. The bluetooth phone works great, but nothing else. I've tried Pandora, the stock Music app, the Google Music beta app, iHeart radio and Subsonic. Nada.

Car stereo probably doesn't support it. Mine only supports phone calls, but no AD2P
so hey i just got some "rocketfish" headphones.
i have them charged and they are working perfect with my ipad..
but when i play music on my phone thru them or just tap thru the menu to go somewhere it skips.playing music it skips 2wice every second. and when i tap it takes a second to respond and echos like. could it be the rom? which im using MIUI currently. but i have no idea. if anyone has any suggestions PLEASE - let me knw, and how to fix it
MIUI and CM7 both have the same partially working bluetooth issue, there are no ETA on when it will get fixed. If you want to use your headset, then you will need to flash a samsung based rom.

Yea it is. I flashed the doctors rom yesterday. It was good. But I like miui rom better because it's more customizable. And it works with volume + the one that boosts the main speaker. But anyway thanks. I flashed the latest version of the rom. Hopefully. It'll fix the bt issue.
Issue for me is car bluetooth, it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting like every minute, the whole thing just does not work properly.
BUT SIMPLE SOLUTION FOR ANY ROM< I MEAN ANY.
Just plug your phone to a charger in the car and thats it. it prevents deep sleep and it will not drain you battery as it's charging.
!!!Suggestion, if you have a usb slot in the car, use it to charge the phone, as cigarette lighter charger most likely will create a wake lock that will prevent your phone going to DP after you exit the car.
Res.
I appreciate all your efforts.
I'm one of those with bluetooth issues only on UCLD2 when connecting to my JVC car stereo to play Pandora or other Internet radio. I have not tested or used MP3 stuff.
I tried Mohans ROM, then update, then the beats audio, then the UCALC4 kernel. All in that order, testing each time. None worked for me.
Thanks though
I've also tried the bluetooth fixes 1 & 2 from Seanz's ROM from last week. Have not tried the 10 version yet. But some others are saying it didn't resolve this particular issue either.

I got it to work and then it stooped again, then got it to work again so it seems to be ok right now.
I will post more detailed instructions in about an hour please check back.

Yep, U10 does not work on my phone. I just don't want to take away anything from Sean as he does great work, so can't say 100% it does not work, it just does not for me in this case.
I believe you are correct on the culprit being the music player.
I have been on Sean's Roms (update 9 for a few weeks and then upgraded to 10 whenever it came out). I stream to a Ford Sync system (2010) and I have not had any problems. 10, in particular, seems great. I use the phone handsfree via bt and stream music (Slacker radio) to and fro work. Also been using btooth inside the house to stream Slacker to a speaker system. No problems there either. But I have NOT used the music player app at all...

See I am scared to think it's FORD soft. that is the problem, as that would be so much harder to fix, they just came up with an update and new one is not coming. And it worked on Sean's ROM up until Update 7, which base of his are you using the GMAIL/no limit or exchange server one?
Also it has something to do with Music Player or files on the Leak, as sometimes it messes with USB input music and cant read the USB, and I disconnect the phone ant USB starts working.
Have you received a USB from FORD recently to update the software?

I also found this:
Interesting Find:
http://www.nsapp.fordtechservice.dea...N_iop_2_00.pdf
It supports KJ2, so maybe ICS is a problem(( But at the same time it supports ICS on other devices.

I think the usb update mailed for Ford is for later models (or mine hasn't arrived yet). For the 2010 there was only one update showing (Sync My Ride) and it was already installed when I purchased the truck.
No question the Ford Sync is "twitchy". My former phone (Atrix) would disconnect the btooth intermittently when streaming Slacker and would skip, often. I haven not (knock on wood) had these problems and I use the steering wheel control to skip songs.

yea my Edge is 2011, I got the update like a month ago, but everything was working fine.
Well I hope it's the leak issue, or I'll have to go back to GB, or run a Sean's older ICS with no deep sleep, can;t not have phone in the car and have music mess up my USB.
Since EMBRYO was mentioned. Anyways, I can only comment on FORD Sync (since the other one drives the edge). Make sure you have the latest Sync Update that rolled out couple of months ago (I believe it is v 3.2.2, I will have to double check). I have had zero issues, connecting with BT as fars as voice calling goes (of course on EMBRYO 2.3), but then I don't use the Car daily. With Embryo 2.3, you should be able to send text message not that useful unless you use the prebuilt templates, that comes with the UCLD2 base. I am looking into what it takes to get full MAP support in the next update, no promises, I need time. Also, I have not streamed music through so can't say. Also, the device recognizes PAN BT tethering, but the sync craps out, I am suspecting it is SYNC issue.

Wow, much appreciated mohan, I do drive the Ford Edge it has SYNC on it, they call it My Touch or something. Is that different then in your car? I did get the update on USB and it's installed, not sure which version. I am making an appointment for the dealer to reinstall it as well. I found a Sync PDF
The problem is when I connect to it, the BT Stereo has issue it does not work or if it works usb does not work, then pretty much the phone disconnects and connect all the time, every like 1-2 min.
I would defiantly flash your ROM right now would you recommend UCLD2 or the other Kernel for this? no matter what files I delete in root or how I rename the phone, BT Stereo still connect to the name of the phone I had a while back. How can I just format everything and do a fresh install of your ROM, I mean like everything? or that would mass it up?
I am even willing to go to Stock GB tar and then root and do everything again.
I found this PDF, Ford Sync only supports KJ2 on skyrocket, have no idea what that means
http://www.nsapp.fordtechservice.dealerconnection.com/sync/usEN/sync_us_EN_iop_2_00.pdf
Also, I hope I did not do anything wrong here or offender anyone by Mentioning Embryo as a possible fix.

See the ROM post #3 (question 1) for a fresh flash. I would highly recommend it, whichever ICS ROM you flash.

Possibly, but not for everyone.
In my case, I can feel the phone crashing DURING the initial bluetooth connection to my car stereo. The phone actually vibrates a few times while I'm setting up the pair connection.
But it stays connected until I start up iHeart Radio or Pandora or any other Internet Radio.
I don't use Music Player for anything and have never tested it either.
I'm having a similar problem connecting my phone's Bluetooth to my JVC stereo. When I turn on bluetooth, the phone is fine, but once I pair it (media and phone), it vibrates, works for about 10-15 seconds, then restarts the bluetooth. When it restarts, it is not paired by default, but if I re-pair only the media to the JVC, it works perfectly. It seems to be a problem with using bluetooth for the phone.
I've been using Sky ICS (through update 10), and none of the fixes posted before have worked (including freezing the stock music app). And for the record, Embryo 2.3 has the exact same problem with my handset and stereo.
EDIT: Correction above. I was able to get media to work once using the method described above, but I was not able to repeat this.
I can confirm that Sky ICS UCLC4 4.2-A-9 solves all of the Bluetooth problems that I have been having with both phone and media pairing to my JVC stereo. Note that this is the outdated UCLC4 ROM. I haven't found any UCLD2 ROMs that fix the BT issues for me yet, but I hope one of them does soon.

yep, that's the case the first leak is ok, but it has it's own problems.
This thread specified only Second Leak.
It's been confirmed that if you follow mohan's instructions to do a fresh install in Embryo 2.3 and I mean oneclick and the rest, everything will work great on UCLD2. I have not done it yet myself, no time, but soon hopefully today.

IT"S A BUG on all three leaks.
You may not experience it at all, it ma only happen once in a while, or every minute, it can fix itself for some time.
Nothing is possible, just need to hope Rogers Official Release will work. (when it comes out)

i was one of the people having issues with bluetooth in the car and after updating to UCLE2 i no longer have any issues what so ever.
I'm just wondering if some one else has this same issue and if it has been fixed/worked around somehow.
I'm running CM9 and have a car bluetooth unit. I make and receive calls fine, but oddly, I can only stream music using Apollo and Google Play. All the other apps don't work, pandora, tunein, playerPro, powerAmp, AmazonMP3. This only happens when I try to use my car BT, everything works fine with other regular bluetooth headseats.
Using stock ROM or stock-based ROM (like skyics) everything works fine; all the apps transmit my music to the BT unit without problems.
Ideas?

Actually, I know some BT issues have been reported, not this one in particular. But my main question is if someone has found a fix or way around.
Since I couldn't find anything, I kept researching and discovered it is a sound routing issue in CM that happens with BT car units; regular BT headsets work fine.
I downloaded this app (sound route switcher bluetooth) that forces the sound to be routed to whatever you select. When I select to force the sound through BT, all the music apps transmit fine to my car BT unit.
This particular problem only happens in CM and AOPK. The stock or stock-based roms (like sky ics) route the music properly.
The BT problems have been reported since CM7 but they don't seem to care about it.
I got exactly same problem and I am running CM jelly bean on my samsung S2 the car I have got is toyota camery with stock audio system. I have been looking for the solution but cant find anything on net.

Install the app I linked above or get a "stock-ish" ROM.

so far i have tested every Rom for the Skyrocket, and none redirect audio to the Bluetooth, i bought an app that allowed me, redirect audio to BT but haven't found a free one but the app is still glitchy this one does have a trial. Period if you want to test
