[Q] ROMs with Stable Bluetooth - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

What current ROMs for the Skyrocket have stable/functional Bluetooth?
Love CM10 but the latest nightlies seem to have very flaky BT.

Touchwiz based roms like embryo that are based on stock

Ive also has bluetooth problems with several ROMs.
Ive been on Embryo 6.9 and its been very good with bluetooth (and everything else for that matter!)

CM 10.1 04/23 nightly is perfectly stable. Anything after that is hit or miss.

I have been having good luck w/ latest CM 10.1 nightlies .... make sure you have the latest radio (UCMC 1). The only issue I have is using bluetooth keyboards. I have used both a bluetooth headset and also bluetooth music streaming.

[Q] CM10 and my bluetooth device still no go?

Hi all,
I am tying to figure why my particular bluetooth device just refuses to work with CM10. (BluAnt S4)
I have tried all different versions of CM10 here, as well as the vincom's audio bluetooth fix, to no avail.
Since I have to use it in my car, because of the laws around here, I would like to know anyone else has a working fix for this.
My same device works very well with my girlfriends nexus s CM10 setup.
I get it to ring when I call, but cannot talk/listen to the other party, and they cant hear me. It does show that it is connected, and paired.
I keep reverting back to my backup of CM9 for my daily driver.
Thanks

Had the same issue, moved on to AOKP though that's not a resolve to CM10 but it's a fix for me since car BT is practically essential.
Thanks for that, which aokp based ROM do you use?

Does any other BT device work?
Did you try the 9/18 cm10 unofficial nightly? The 9/18 nightly works flawlessly.
When you flash are you formatting system? I always format system on nightly as things seem to work better\
here is the link to the 9/18 build http://builds.redpepperracing.com/u...tory=rpr&PHPSESSID=4d6a6fgjqn8d05c0nt03qmjpg0

I had official CM9 stable and yes confirm BT does work.
As for my current AOKP I was using the one post by R4INS, I found out last night there was an update see http://goo.im/devs/R4INS (the latest Sep-14-2), I haven't tried the BT on that update yet though I can confirm Sep 9 version worked link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831858. On Sep 9 you will still need to flash policy conf. fix posted by vincom to fix the music output in car, but the BT phone talk always worked without any issues.
***edit*** officially confirmed sep 14 update BT didn't work, in reverting to sep 9
I do not have access to any other BT device at this time. I did a completely fresh install of cm10 nightly 9/18 and later. BT never worked. I have just installed AOKP (ortheus) and my BT is now working.

CM has been having this problem since CM7. And it has been reported over and over in their issue tracker. But nobody at the CM team can take it and just fix it.
Vincom uploaded a fix for his Support lite Rom. Here ya go & for all others that need it.

Be sure to thank him!

Not sure if I have just been picking the right ones but I've never had a Bluetooth/Wifi issue with any ROM I've used...
Right now I'm running Superlite JB without gapps which I would think would have the least support and most issues but it's running really well.
Works flawlessly with my car's BT.

[Q] earbud mic not working

I flashed CM10 12/15 nightly 2 days ago, so far everything seems to be working fine except the mic on my earbud. It's a standard iPhone earbud with built-in mic, I was able to make calls with it when I was using stock HTC rom, but with CM10 the other end is not able to hear me. Any ideas?
Thank you!
i haven't using CM for a while, my guess is that it's probably an issue with the nightly. flash a newer one or find a more stable rom (cm10 nightlies arent meant to be stable).
another thing you could do is try an app called "SoundAbout" which fixes the headset routing.

[Q] Which 4.2.2 Rom has Bluetooth working?

All,
Been on Synergy for the past 3 month and my flashing itch is coming back. I want to start trying 4.2.2...getting tired of TW. Has the 4.2.2 Roms gotten stable as a daily driver? I will predominantly using this for work so stability is key and driving, hence the bluetooth functionality.
I was roaming around the thread cyanogen, carbon and liquid and seem like they all have bluetooth issues?
Anybody on a current ROM that have both stability and working bluetooth?
Thanks for any opinion.
cant comment on bluetooth, but they are certainly stable and daily driver worthy.
hopefully someone else can chime in on the bluetooth specifically

I use cyberon voice commander for BT voice dialing. I have found on all ASOP roms, it works but the volume is low and there is a delay of up to 5 second in acknowledging the voice command.
Bluetooth works fine for me on a Carbon nightly....really like this ROM.

LiquisSmooth 2.5 is very stable. Been using it as a DD since January. Bluetooth works fine when I use it, which isn't much.
I have CM 10.1 RC5, and it's the most stable release they have. I believe they fixed the bluetooth a while ago. I only use it for audio streaming to my car, so I can't really comment on headsets or whatever else you might use it for.
But to my knowledge, bluetooth works. :good:

[Q] Previously reported BT issue in CM 10.1.2 - any fix?

First of all, a big thank you to the CM team from a relative noob, for all their great work.
I checked the forums, and there was an issue reported on 9 July about BT randomly turning off, and only fix to turn it on being to reboot. I have experienced the same problem in CM 10.0 stable, 10.1 stable, and now 10.1.2. Not a major issue, but an annoyance - was wondering of there is a fix for that?
Thanks

Not an official one, no, I have had the issue since the 4/24 build, but with some recent commits shortly after 10.1.1 it's been much better, but still not 100%. I know carvsdriver has identified the issue and just needs to get some time in to fix it, so it should be coming soon-ish to the latest nightlies. I don't know how likely it would be to get into a 'stable' release very soon, but for me, the nightlies are way better than the stable releases anyway.

I caught a fix for BT in the changelogs on the CM 10.1 nightlies. Just ran the latest nightly update a few nights ago and seems to be much better.
Of course your mileage may vary but if you need some better BT performance in CM10.1 on the Skyrocket, I can vouch that it is now better. For me on 10.1 Stable, BT would turn off if I screwed around a few times with it (pairing and unpairing devices) and would force me to have to reboot to use a new pairing. BT would actually turn off and stay off after enough BT actions. Reboot was only fix. Knock on wood, now I can use the BT settings without problems. I'm hoping nothing bad pops up but I think there are definite BT improvements with the latest nightlies...

I don't know that the commit was a complete fix, but it certainly helped. I saw a post on G+ about it (I think), and the developer mentioned that after 30 BT connections/re-connections, it would stop working, and that it would be hard to fix. It's definitely way better than it was.
Stereo Bluetooth works pretty well. Just listened to 3-4 hour podcast with Stereo Bluetooth P311 headphones.
Also used Motorola H500 bluetooth headset as well. No problem there. Also using 9XX Plantronics headset. No problem either.
All in all - can't complain about BT too much anymore after going from latest stable to more recent "nightly" releases.
If you run into problem.... you'll have to re-boot.
Thanks to all the developer of CM 10.1 for a great ROM which has become my DD. One question: Bluetooth still requires an occasional reboot in the latest nightlies. With CM 10.1 now in maintenance mode, is this the best we can expect or is there still ongoing work to fix the problem for good? I have just been rebooting once in the AM, so I don’t get a surprise when I try to use BT in my car, so it’s not a showstopper. Just curious.

All I can say is that with 4.3 (CM 10.2), in the past week I have only had to reboot once to fix bluetooth issues, that I can remember.

[Q] Is there any Lollipop ROM that has a working bluetooth and audio

I have read through several of the ROM threads and trying to determine which ROM and/or ROM+Kernel+Config combination works towards a stable bluetooth configuration.
I've had intermittent bluetooth connection drops on several of the CM 12 nightlies. In some cases, I've had audio issues as well.
If someone has a Lollipop based working configuration that enables a stable bluetooth, please share.

BlissPop worked great up until about a week ago with just the regular installation, no tweaks. CM then introduced some new commits regarding bluetooth, so as far as I can tell, all CM-based ROMs will have the same issue now (and I've tested over a half-dozen so far). DarkoBass is mostly AOSP, I believe, and it didn't seem to have any issues - made it through a few songs with no stutter - but I missed too many other features from BlissPop so I went back tweaking it with Boeffla to find a solution. ParanoidAndroid is mostly AOSP as well - I bet bluetooth on it would work fine, and they just released an alpha build today, I think. Might just give it a try myself...
How about veneer?

It's been glitchy for a while. Are they planning on fixing it or is it unfixable?

CM has been working on it; I believe they just pushed two new BT commits to try to fix some of the issues in the last day or so. I haven't tried out any updated ROMs to see if it helped yet. I reluctantly left BlissPop and tried out Slim Saber with AK kernel (someone somewhere said BT worked on it) and after a couple kernel tweaks I didn't have a single skip to or from work today. And it turns out it's a pretty damn good ROM too.

Won't swear to it, but I'm pretty sure that's one of the ones I tried and it still skipped.
CM12 Nightlies are working fine for me with BT. It used to be terrible but it's great now.

Had continuing problems with Temasek nightly. Switched to [ROM][5.0.2][02/04][OFFICIAL] GzRoms -Validus- [v7][Bacon] yesterday and have had zero BT music playback issues with Performance mode enabled. Couldn't be happier with this ROM.
