Android Cuttlefish Bluetooth? - General Questions and Answers

Hey
I'm very new to Android and read about the cuttlefish. I understood that it is very similar to android emulator but closer to a physical device on the OS Level.
I'm trying to establish a bluetooth-connection between a virtual Android device and a physical bluetooth device.
At first I tried to enable the bluetooth in the android emulator by building a custom kernel but that turned out to be trickier than I thought.
Before I spend hours getting into cuttlefish, does someone have some experience with it and can tell me if that will help me with my project?
Is it easier to enable the bluetooth functionalities in cuttlefish?
thanks for any comments or tips

MANET on Android Phones

Hi Guys, i would like to know if someone is interested to work on a MANET running on android phones...
i have actual develop an specific Routing Protocol for Manets and simulated in Opnet and works well, i don't have to much skills on Java Programming or android software development and need help to develop the code for it...
basically the project is to run several android phone that will be able to use adhoc mode to create network and each node to be able repeat the signals to the next near node....
Regards
You may want to post code in C or C++ . No doubt someone would convert it into the proper Java android code. I suspect some of it would need to be wrapped anyway and that it's highly likely to require root access.
Finally
Finally someone working on Mobile Adhoc Network have acomplish a MANET protocol on android Phones, they have implemented an OLSR and BATMAN routing protocol..

[Q] How to communicate with custom made hw board?

Hi Xda developers,
I might get involved in project during internship, where they want me to find way how to connect android device to custom made proprietary radio transmitter-receiver board without bluetooth or wifi, so it has to be direct wired connection.
This radio transmitter-receiver board has its own microchips and firmware so all low level work and functions will be done in this board alone.
Does anyone has idea how this could be done? is it possible to write some drivers (probably C) to communicate with this board over micro usb port present in all android devices? And than how could be data received over radio used in basic java-android application installed on device? (could this be done with use of a binary/text file as a link between these two programs?)
Thanks in advance
If nobody knows or has time to answer my questions, please give me some tips where to start searching for answers (websites, books, magazines .... )

Android for Lenovo Yoga 13

Hi All,
I have been a long time XDA user, and follow and utilize a number of threads for my android devices!
(
For the first time ever i have not been able to find what I'm looking for and so I send out a plea for help (or lay out a challenge if people prefer them) !!
I have a lenovo yoga 13 and can run a live version of android 4.2 however i do not want to complete a hard drive install due to the lack of support for the wifi and BT.
I was wandering if anyone would be able to create a yoga 13 ROM including the driver for the realtek RTL8723a wifi/bt chip.
This has been working on Ubuntu elsewhere.
My knowledge does not extend passed installing ROMs so the process to learn this is beyond my grasp. I am happy to donate to developers should this help!!
I would love to do this myself but would not even know where to begin.
I have managed to install the relevant version of android and touchscreen etc works brilliantly, i just need the ability to connect to the internet.
I guess there are two options and some advise would be great:
1 - could i use a usb wifi adaptor that would be supported by Android rather than the built in realtex card.
2 - where should i begin to look or research if i wanted to learn how to modify the install in order to include the correct kernal or support for this version (I am assuming using the working ubuntu drivers in some way). Any recommended reference materials to get me started. I appreciate this option may require quite some time to fully understand android development.
Thanks

Help with BT USB Passthrough Tutorial on source.android.com

Hi,
this question might be to vague but at this point I'm not even quite sure if I'm on the right path for what I try to do so any input would mean a lot to me.
I've been struggling a lot with a Bluetooth Dongle pass-through on Android Emulator. I basically what to connect the Emulator to a real Bluetooth device through a Bluetooth USB dongle. After weeks of searching I found a tutorial that kind of explains what I want to do but its for the AAOS Emulator.
Can someone give me a overview on how to mod those files and how I bring them together to build an emulator? I'm trying my best to understand the AOSP Repo and its structure, but the harder I'm trying the more confused I am.
The tutorial is https://source.android.com/devices/automotive/start/passthrough
