[Q] HTC Bluetooth controller fix?

---

Sorry if this has been addressed in another thread, but I haven't been able to find a good answer.

The Bluetooth stack for HTC Sense based android phones has some Bluetooth limitations that do not allow it to pair to Bluetooth game controllers, keyboards, and in some instances mobile (car) audio. I am not a developer so I only have a basic understanding how this works, but I've read that it is due to the SPP profile included being out of date.

A lot of Incredible owning Ford Sync and BMW drivers out there seem to be having issues syncing the Incredible, and I personally would like to be able to use a Wii controller or the Zeemote with my device. I bought a Zeemote for mobile gaming, but I gave it to my Droid X owning friend because it works great on stock Android, but refused to Sync with either my Incredible or another friend's Evo.

Does anyone (especially those people porting non Sense Android 2.2 to the Incredible) know if it would be possible to replace the HTC Bluetooth stack with a stock Android 2.2 Bluetooth stack? Ideally a user installable (with Root of course) APK.

I'd also like to know if this is possible/why it is not, even though I'm increasingly falling in love with CyanogenMod (especially as 6 seems to be nearing a stable release)

You have to download Bluetooth file transfer app from the market. Works perfectly.

Officially, Android does not support BT HID, which is needed for wiimote.

Cynaogenmod has added it via one of the devs who made it possible.

Their code is on github, if you want to attempt trying to port it to Sense based roms.

It's interesting that the Non HTC phones i've tried it on have worked fine if it is a problem with Android in general. I guess Motorolla added their own stack.

Try it on a samsung phone. Its not HTC only.

All we need to do is find an amazing chef like the guy over at Phandroid who makes the FrankenROM. I have 100% faith that guy could pull it off if he tried. He is freaking amazing!

Yes, can someone fix this. Full bluetooth functionality on 2.2 would be awesome!
