I am doing a magisk module to speed up the process


You can continue doing it in the manual way for now:

This is tested and is working on the redmi note 7, however this should work with every android pie based device(and up) since google forced the implementation
Idk if this works on Oreo and below.

To follow my guide you need to install MT Manager :

https://mt.jouyo.cn/MT2.9.0-3.apk

Also to test if is enabled install this:

Disclaimer:
* I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed (like it did for me...).
* YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
* Your warranty will be void if you tamper with any part of your device / software.
* This could violate OTA mechanism,
since idk if it does i will advice you now.


Soo....Lets start!

1 Open MT Manager,give root permission and navigate to system/app/Bluetooth/Bluetooth.apk
2 Open the apk with view function and open resources.arsc with the included arsc editor
3 Open com.android.bluetooth/bool/bool/

4 Now there are two values

*Profile_supported_hid_device
*Profile_supported_hid_device

Set those values to true

5 Go back until MT manager questions you to save changes,also sign the apk

6 Now since its done,set proper system permission of the Bluetooth.apk to
rw--r--r

7 Reboot the device

8 Enjoy

Didn't seem to have any effect

Hi. Thanks for the walkthrough. I completed all of the steps and after reboot, the test still fails. Any suggestions?

You just ruined my phone

I tried your process cause I really wanna use my PS3 controller with my phone only to end up with a dead Bluetooth, my Bluetooth won't come on again even after I revert the process.
