Bluetooth Explorer 1.1.26907.1

[ADB100]

On the Hermes forum there is a thread about some updated HTC applications that have been extracted from the Trinity. One of these is "BLUETOOTH EXPLORER 1.1.26907.1".

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=301580

Having dumped Faria's latest Vanilla ROM it looks like this is included in the build. I am attempting to add this to my own ROM but I can't get the Bluetooth Explorer to run; Bluetooth is working as I have paired my headset and GPS and verified these work.
I have added the files and the registry settings for this to my ROM and everything looks like it's there, however if you select Bluetooth Explorer or try and enable it from Connections\Bluetooth\FTP it doesn't work. I found in Farias ROM a 'StartHBTDisk.exe' that is included in [HKLM\init], I have added this but still no joy.

Any one else have this working? I noticed it isn't included in the Wizard Business Edition, however CommManager from the same link is.

Have you tryed just install the cab ? Does it work that way ?

No, I get the same result - i.e. all the files appear and there is the option for Bluetooth Explorer but it fails to run. I seem to remember when I installed Faria's latest clean ROM there was a system folder that appeared when running File Explorer that had an Icon the same as the Storage Card Icon and was Called 'Bluetooth Folder'.

Can anyone confirm that this program is working for the Wizard ?

I could start that folder you're talking about. It's a browser, similar to file explorer. But no trace of bluetooth. I could see my shared folder, but I could't see the paired device from browser (Sony K750i). It was visible from paired devices, I could send files to it (beam) but nothing working from bluetooth explorer.

Also the "Enable Bluetooth.... " box won't stay checked.

That's exactly what I am seeing. From File Explorer if you go back to the root do you see a "Bluetooth Folder" that has a different Icon (i.e. same as Storage Card Icon)?

I don't have it installed anymore...I just flashed :D
You are saying that if I click that icon I can browse my other device ?

I think so? I only briefly flashed Faria's Vanilla ROM and remember seeing this folder, however I didn't play around with it as I flashed again shortly after with my own ROM which isn't using Faria's as the base....

I have found another link to a BTFtp.CAB:

http://smartmania.mobilmania.cz/forum/download.php?id=358&sid=1e226431815477276a4e9fd1fff4037d

It seems this has a couple more files (and different version files) and registry entries, including the entry in HKLM\init for StartHBTDisk.exe and one in the HKLM\Software\OEM\MASD for "BTFTP"="1_1_27419_1", both of these are in Faria's clean ROM

I have manually added the additional files and the registry entries and the 'Enable Bluetooth Explorer' button now remains ticked, however launching Bluetooth Explorer doesn't do anything....

Nearer.....

OK, I re-built the ROM with the relevent files included and it doesn't work............. :confused:

Not sure what to try next........

bt ftp works just fine with the wizard.....but there is problems with the camera as it sees the bt folder as a storage device.

Did you have to do anything special to get this working in your ROM?

no...but then....i extrated the packages from the trinity rom....plus my way of cooking roms is totally diferente from any of you..[soon to be your way to]:) and some apps only work when properlly integrated into a rom...not just adding the files to a dump....you need to go deeper than that...to the core.

Has anyone managed to get Bluetooth Explorer working in any ROM other than Faria's :confused:

I have extracted all the files and registry settings for Bluetooth Explorer from Faria's Kitchen and installed them as a package into the Vanilla mUn ROM (via the kitchen). It installs and the options are available however the checkbox 'Enable Bluetooth Explorer' never remains checked and it doesn't work. With Faria's ROM once it has been enabled or Bluetooth Explorer is launched I have a 'Bluetooth' folder in the root directory and it has a different Icon (same as storage card).
Has anyone managed to get this to work and if so how?

Thanks

is there a way to get it as a standalone CAB and then install it?

I already have two .cab files - one appears to be for the Hermes that has less files than are included with the package in Faria's kitchen. The other contains the same files and registry settings as were in the package in Faria's kitchen - however both don't work with the mUn ROM......

With a clean flash of Faria's Vanilla ROM, but excluding BT FTP from the build I can add BT FTP via the .cab and it works the same as if it was included in ROM build. Doing the same with the mUn Vanilla ROM doesn't work :(

Luckily I got a 2nd Wizard off eBay pretty cheap so I have the luxury of being able to re-flash, hard-reset and add/remove software on my 'development' Wizard as much as I want :rolleyes:

I loved this app (came built into NBD7.1) but it's stopped working...no idea why! The tick box wouldn't stay ticked!
Tried the cab file and now the tick box stays ticked but when started all it does is open the bluetooth folder. I cant seem to get it to search for devices anymore:confused:

Anybody got any further with this?

Andy.

[edit}

Built my own cab from the files provided by faria for his rom kitchen and it's working now (!)........
here's my cabfile if anyone wants to try it.:D
p.s. you may get a message asking if you want to format your storage device, if you have a bluetooth folder already. I removed my sd card (just to be safe!) and clicked yes.
