[$$$] Bluetooth HID Drivers for Verizon GT

kingharrison · Jan 14, 2011

I will pay for the development if someone can get bluetooth HID drivers working for the Verizon version of the GT. I have an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard I desperately need to work with the Tab. This can be my lightweight emergency station to handle different servers if I had a keyboard to type with.

Thanks!

TekSoft (BlueInput) has been talking about adding a fuller Bluetooth stack to thier keyboard driver to help all of the android devices that don't include the full HID (Droid incredible, VZW Samsung Galaxy Tab). It sounds like they are trying to have something in February. teksoftco.com

Great! Though I still need something a bit more definite and sooner.

Any reason why taking the drivers from a Tmo one and putting them on a Verizon one wouldnt work?

Do they use different bluetooth chipsets?

TheCodeBenders · Jan 14, 2011

I saw a tear down of a tab somewhere online I need to find again but a lot of wireless chipsets these days are integrated. Cdma wifi gps and bluetooth are often found in the same piece of hardware. This means we may have very different hardware from our gsm friends. This is to handle issues such as TDMA between bluetooth and wifi and other interferences.

I believe on Tab in Samsung's ROM the Bluetooth keyboard support is in IME app.

For my CM6 build i had to enable BT HID in the kernel. Maybe if someone is building VZW tab kernels+initram fs they can try enabling BT HID in the kernel.

I'll check it out if I have some time this week. It *shouldn't* be hard to enable. No promises or anything though.

Thanks man. This is a big deal to making this device a great laptop replacement while traveling light.

I'm willing to donate to get HID working on the VZW tab.

For sure. I would much ratherhave my options on BT keyboards over the silly Samsung dock.

there is a keyboard that works with the Tab but it's not BT. I picked it up from the Verizon store and love it. Can even hook up speakers if I want.

I compiled the kernel with bluetooth HID included, no idea how to installbit though and am afraid to make a brick.

Any suggestions.

You can't brick it by just replacing the kernel. Worst case scenario you'd need to reflash the rom.

robinsmy1 · Jan 17, 2011

I am still running stock.

How would I go about replacing the kernel?

Did anybody get anywhere with this? I am still willing to donate to get these to work!

robinsmy1 · Jan 20, 2011

I still have the compile kernel, but no Idea how to flash it, I have not found anything on how to flash just a kernel to only the boot partition. I do not want to touch the recovery partition just in case it does not work.

I have no problem with programming stuff, I am just very new to the rom area and want to be safe

It needs to be a zImage, then flash it through Heimdall

robinsmy1 · Jan 20, 2011

I have a zimage....can you give me a little tutorial on Heimdall....never used it. If you will, i will try my kernal....otherwise, I would be happy to upload the kernel here and let someone who knows how try it on thiers

Also, what about signing....does the zimage need signing or do I need some change to allow it to run unsigned?

MasterRy88 · Jan 20, 2011

Amazing to see that people are working on this HORRIFIC issue. I am also willing to donate a bit of cash to get this one working

kingharrison · Jan 20, 2011

Thanks for working on this guys! This is HUGE for us wanting to replace their laptop with the Verizon GT.
