I downloaded the Wii controller app on the market, but it gives me the message. Error! your device does't support bluetooth!
has anybody else got the wii mote to connect to there device for gaming.
i got an ass of emulators, roms, and isos so i need a decent input method
From what I understand, the bluetooth stack in samsung's version of Android isn't properly implemented or is missing features of version 2.2 etc. In effect, keyboards,mice, bluetooth controllers wont work until an updated bt stack is hacked into the roms. More than likely will be implemented in CM6 methinks. Cant wait!
Thanks for the explanation. 2.2 on galaxy s is gonna be very nice.

the problem is most likely that the program is designed for bluetooth 2.1 and we have bluetooth 3.0 so there is a compatability issue there. when they update the program to the newest bluetooth version, it should work again
Good to know. I sure hope that is the only issue plaguing the software. Not really wanting to deal with old bt stack ala HTC with Sense.
Any update, I'm using darky 10.2 but still doesn't seem to work (the app seems to stop when it detects the phone type, rather than any specific error)
Read the previous posts, it doesn't work on Samsung roms, aosp (cyanogen) roms do support it though.
I wish it worked too...
What about ICS?

So my new phone wont pair to my blubridge RX. I am switching over from a DroidX and it was working fine.
It will pair but once it pairs it will not connect. I checked support for the bluebridge and says it will not connect with some samsung phones unless 3rd party software is loaded?
"Due to Samsung’s custom modifications to the Android OS, the mini-jack RX is seen and able to pair but it not stream audio correctly on certain models (Galaxy, Captivate, ect). Some customers have had success after installing 3rd party Android images on their phone"
Anyone know what they are talking about? I need my blubridge working.. Help!
Sounds like its saying with stock fascinate your sol.. But with a custom rom like cyanogen mod you would be golden. But since all of our cyanogen/miui style roms, also known as AOSP roms,have buggy bluetooth you may or may not be totally sol. I would suggest you try loading JT's cyanogen mod6 port and see if it works on that..

Been putting off installing a custom Rom on the SGS2 (UK) because it's been working fine for what I need, but now I'd like to use it as a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse on my Windows PC (without the need for a server app).
I've read about an app called Bluputdroid which will connect to a PC via bluetooth and be recognized as a HID keyboard and mouse but requires a coustom Rom with a specific bluetooth stack.
Which Rom should I try?
Thank you
only way i know to get around it is to use an AOSP rom, like cm7/cm9 or MIUI, i did the same thing to get my playstation sixaxis working hope this helps

As coffmad said, any AOSP ROM should work for what you're looking for, as they will utilize the generic Android bluetooth stack, instead of Samsung's.
That said, I know you said you don't want to install a server app, but have you considered looking at GMote? It works over wi-fi. There's a very thin app you install on the computer, and your phone connects to it over your network. This is what I use to utilize my phone as a remote for my computer.

FYI, SixAxis works on Samsung based ROMs, and has for quite some time. I think since October or so. I've got it working just fine, and I'm on stock XXKI3.
I had a couple of questions about using Spirit FM Radio app on CM 7.2. And I would like to know in detail about it.
Firstly, When I ran the Spirit app on CM 7.2 i noticed that it doesn't switch on the Bluetooth. Does that mean that it uses the internal Broad com FM chip instead of Bluetooth to receive FM transmissions just like in the LG stock FM radio app?
Will the Spirit FM app still run properly if I UN-install the CM 7.2 Stock FM app? Or does it need the CM 7.2 Stock FM app to run properly?
In the setting of the app, within audio, I saw various options like cyanogen Mod, LG, lge-msm7x27,etc. Even tough i didn't see any difference in quality while going through different options. Which would be the ideal option for us and What do these options do?
CM9 hasn't got a radio am I right? (Btw I'm new to the forum I couldn't find a topic to write this I'm sorry
What phone are you using?
When Bluetooth is enabled FM is enabled too because they locate at the same chip. It's the easiest way to enable FM and so is CM radio doing. Spirit FM (and stock LG) does it little bit harder by only enabling FM thus saving some starting time and battery (battery part is not a 100% fact though, only my own speculation).
You can remove CM radio, it is not needed.
Recommended method by author in Spirit is CyanogenMod. I don't know exactly what are the differences between different methods but stick with CyanogenMod.
Spirit FM does use Bluetooth, only the icons aren't changed that's all.

I might be wrong but if Bluetooth is turned on i see no indication, not only in status bar, settings, no device discovers it (visible), i think i need an app to check the components...
Will check back whit the answer
Edit: It dose use bluetooth

How did u finally come to that conclusion that it does use Bluetooth? And if it does... Does that mean that there is no big difference in the way Spirit, Cyanogen mod and LG FM radio app works?
I have my own thread for questions, 1st link in my sig: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13379669
And I respond to emails and PMs, but sometimes respond on my thread for all to benefit. Or just let me know a thread's been opened...

Copied on my thread, because I did a lot of thinking and typing...
Yes you can remove the CM FM app.
On CM7, the default CyanogenMod audio method is generally best. It's the same method the CM7 FM app uses, so it's the most likely to work well, especially when dealing with things like phone calls coming in when FM is on.
If a CM ROM for any phone has a CM FM app, this method should work, but unfortunately that's not yet the case with CM9 ROMs. so low level methods are needed for now on CM9, and there are often issues, and many CM9 ROMs just don't support FM audio routing yet, or I haven't figured them out.
Re: Bluetooth: my app has many ways to access FM chips.
- The first method I supported was via Bluetooth (the HCI API), like the CM FM app. Like it, my app can run commands using the command line hcitool utility, and this is nice because my app can run without root/SU. But it's not too efficient, especially when using RDS where lots of data gets transferred.
- For better efficiency, with root, my app supports direct access to the HCI sockets, through a daemon, because apps don't have the privilege otherwise.
- But because many people were running stock or stock derived ROMs using the Broadcom proprietary BT stack, and I could find no way to send HCI commands with it, I created a "UART mode" that communicates directly with the Bluetooth/FM UART. The wireless part of Bluetooth is not switched on, which saves power. But this mode requires root (unless /dev/ttyHS0 or whatever is accessible from an app), and only works if BT is off.
- A new access method is available now on stock and stock derived ROMs that run the proprietary Broadcom BT stack and that supports the stock LG FM app. This can work on stock, unrooted devices. In this mode the characteristics of the stock FM stack are unavoidable, both positive and negative.
The Broadcom proprietary BT stack has a special mode where Bluetooth is considered off, but FM is on. This enables the Bluetooth HCI "UART" to provide a path to control the FM part of the chip.
- There are different device driver access methods used for dedicated FM chips not contained in a BT/FM combo chip, but those don't apply to the P500.
OK for SGA?
Can I use this FM radio app for my Samsung Galaxy Ace? I have Ice Cream Sunday ROM installed.

Off-topic, and you should ask on my thread anyway, or check post 2 of my thread. Please don't respond here.
Canned response now:
The Simpsons taught me that among Hemingway's words of wisdom was:
“The shortest answer is doing the thing.”
IE, why don't you just try it ? It's free and only takes a minute or two I think.
There's even an intro that can be read and will give some useful information on configuration.
Then if you have trouble, you can come back, report it, and hope for an answer.

Thank you for clearing it to me. But I don't know... something weird happened to me. I was using Spirit FM radio app whole day yesterday but the Blue-tooth icon never showed up. But today when tried the app again It has been showing the Blue-tooth icon. I don't get it. What changed? I tried re-booting and everything. Still the same.
Hi everybody,
I have been trying to find a 4.2.2 rom without samsung's bluetooth stack. But it seems none of the rom developers mention anything about bluetooth stack they use.
Why do i need such a rom?
Because I use bluetooth devices like wiimote and smartwatch.
Samsung bluetooth stack doesnt connect to wiimote.
It does connect to liveview smartwatch but customnotifier plugin doesnt work -which is a accesibility plugin forwards all alerts to watch-
And also when i enable that plugin talkback starts pronouncing every move i make... menu 1 page 2 etc...
So far, I found out that AOSP based roms like CM7 and MIUI was working fine with bluetooth devices. But that is really old information. Because it looks like nowadays all roms became a mixture of many source bases.
For example ASNET MIUI v5 is a combination of samsung and aosp sources...
Please help
