What to do with an old iPod touch? - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys,
I have got an old iPod Touch 2G 8GB from a friend, but I have no idea what i can do with it.
Does anybody know any Hardware or Software tweaks for my iPod.
It's running ios 4.2.1
Is there a way to bring Android to this device? Probably not, just asking....

Do you have car ?
Buy a bluetooth speaker, make your play list and pump up the volume
by the way, I think you could install android on ipod touch, but it's an old version (2.2.1 or 2.3.5, I forgot it ) or you can look for redsn00w 7.0 firmware which improves an ios 7-looking graphic and some awesome features.

Yes, I have a car, but I also already have an iPod for my car so I don't really need this one for listening to music.
Probably I will jailbreak this one with redsn0w, that's a good idea.

I have now installed Whited00r so i can install older versions of some apps.
The problem with this iPod is, that it only has ios 3.1.3 installed and many many apps require higher ios.
The headphone jack does not work correctly so I can't even use it as a music player.

Listen to music using mono Bluetooth Headset

Hello!
I´m planning to buy a mono ("one-ear") BT headset to get my calls on the go, but I´d also like to listen to my musics on it.
I´ve done some research on google about any hack or program that would let me do this, however I don´t know if these programs work on WM 6.5, because they´re a little old.
Has anyone tried or is still using a program that works on nowadays cellphones (like Touch HD)? I just need this to buy a mono BT headset.
The programs I´ve heard of are: Bluetooth Audio v1.0, BlueAudio, BlueMusic.
Thank you very much in advance!
BlueTooth Audio 1.0 works with 6.5/6.5.x.
This is not a software release and does not belong in this category. See "Questions".
Moved as not software release.
Sorry for posting in the wrong area.
I´m gonna buy the BT earphone and tell if it worked.
Thanks!
It should definately work if you get BlueAudio3 as I use it every day Rollerblading with a mono bluetooth (SE HBH-PV740). Have fun!

iPhone headphone-controller on Android?

Hi!
Is it possible to hack the Linux-kernel to use the iPhone headphone-controller to change song, play, pause etc? I'm guessing it's in the kernel that stuff is handled?
It's just that I like the positioning of the iPhone controller better than the one on the headphones I got from my Nexus One.
This is good to know. I used cyanmod and my atomic bass worked in the beginning EVEN with Pandora! Then stopped working for some reason and only worked with the built in music player. Now Im on Froyo and only the music player works for it.

[REQ] Bluetooth device switcher

Im trying to find a widget that will allow me to switch between my a2dp headphones, mono headset, and a2dp car stereo with one click. Anyone got any ideas?
Ive searched and I found http://www.appbrain.com/app/bluetooth-a2dp-switcher-widget/info.yt1300.a2dpswitcher However it doesnt work on 2.2 Theres 2 versions available and the eclair and donut versions FC on Froyo.
you might give Super Mono Froyo Trial a shot http://www.appbrain.com/search?q=Super+BT+Mono
Love it and have Pro version for my EVO and Plantronics Voyager Pro but dont know if it will do exactly what you are wanting to. Obviously you will need free froyo version of the 4. Liked it so much like I said I bought full version to stream through Voyager Pro. Hope it does what you want.

[Q] Audio lag over bluetooth

I have read all the other threads about this...but wanted to bring this up on out RAZR HD forum.
The phone is great so far... It has been a whole new android experience for me since the Xperia Play ICS update cancellation, but something I really miss from my Xperia is using my bluetooth headset for movies and gaming...
On this phone (XT925) the lag over bluetooth is annoying... and the fact that It came without any wired headset and that I can't use my Samsung Jet or Xperia Play handsfree headsets because the phone does not recognize them, make it even worse
So far I noticed the problem on 3rd party apps, because the lag is present on all games and downloaded video players (like Mobo), If I use the Stock video or audio player the lag disappears completely... too bad the stock player doesnt allow subtitles via SRT files...
Gaming is awful with the Lag... but I cant live without the sound anyway...
I'm using a Sony Ericsson MW600 Bluetooth headset with my RAZR HD... and I love this little device, I'm also concerned why It was able to fully work on my previous phone (Xperia Play, rooted GB 2.3.4) and not on a more advanced OS version.
Is there any workaround for this? I don't know maybe a way to make the stock player read ther SRT subtitles files or to make thr mobo player compesate the LAG?
Thanks for your help
Aside from trying to re-pair, I'm not sure if there's anything you can do.
The bright side is that we should be getting the JB update soon. With that will surely come new bluetooth binaries. Hopefully, it makes things better for you.

Will somebody extract the walkman app in ZX500/A100 series walkman?

There are no forums about new walkman , so I post to here.
I have found that the new Sony Walkman is supported by android , and the new walkman app looks pretty well ( style is like the wm1 and zx300 series) . I wanna install the new walkman app on my cellphone .
There are some problems
First of all there are no smaster audio processor on the cellphones so some of the functions won’t work on the ordinary android devices . Like vinyl processor or dsee Hx , dc phase processor. Maybe we have to disable them to ensure that the app works well.
Second , I found the functionality between zx500 and a100 is different . So there are maybe 2 versions of new walkman app. One for zx500 and another one for a100.
I double this. I'll try to get the APK tomorrow by extracting it from the firmware... then I'll install it to AOSP.
Got it? Would be interested on that and some Infos about it (Development)
any news about this?
anything else?
Did anyone do this?
Bump
Do you guys need someone with one of these devices to be able to extract the APK? Willing to help if you point me in the right direction.
However don't be too excited, the music player sucks as a music player.
It's very basic, it doesn't even let you create or modify playlists. Only "bookmarks" which cannot be backed up/exported and have limitations.
Even I have these device, and I'd rather stick to PowerAmp in general (best overall) or USB Audio Player Pro UAPP for USB DAC support and MQA.

Hi there,
I might be a little late but yes! Someone with one of these devices will be great.
Being it Android you can download an android app called (Super Backup & Restore) from the Google play store. This app is easy, intuitive and will extract the APK file. Then you can upload it here on XDA. I can help more if you are willing to help. I will try my best to answer any questions you have.
Cheers
