Help to update Sony's bluetooth library - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hi,
As you may know Sony has not updated its bt libs even for its own bt devices such as mw600. Hence at least the device I mentioned and own does not show song name or caller ID on its screen. This problem is fixed only and only in CyanogenMod Android ROMs.
There is a bug report discussion here about one version of CyanogenMod Android ROM which did not have the proper libraries. The developer has found the file causing the issue and has posted it and everybody confirms the fix.
Well, I tested putting the file in respective place in a GB rom but it did not work. Most probably a different file is needed.
Can someone help me with it?

Thread on CM
Here is the link of the thread I started on CM official forum to get an answer from a dev directly, hopefully

Links of related posts on other thread
I had a talk with two valued devs on another thread. Here are the links to the posts:

Sony Support Thread
With so many devs here and on CM website, still no answer! I made a thread on Sony Mobile website here.

Sorry I can't help you bro, but all I'm here to say is good luck getting help from Sony Mobile Forums, they are so useless over there. I hope you find your answer.

Well, you know I was going to add the same sentences at the end of my last post but somehow I changed my mind because I could get this simple (for devs of course) answer NOwhere. Still hopeful...

Sony's Support Reply
Well, I recommned you go to Sony support site to see the whole answer, but anyway the answer confirms what I thought:
As far as I'm aware it's due to a lack of a certain Bluetooth profile this function isn't available in some phone's.

Come on devs! Any ideas?

New Discussion Found
Well, I found another thread here talking somehow about this problem. Here are some highlights of the thread;
The MW600 will not show up Track Title or for that matter any other information when used with Android. Reason being, Android uses Bluetooth profile AVRCP v1.0. However, in order to get extra information (metadata) like Track Title, Caller Name, etc. you will need AVRCP v1.3 and above; which none of the Android version has...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It works on CM7 as CM7 supports AVCRP 1.3
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
They've implemented it on CyanogenMod 7 (CM7) officially as of version 7.1.0, according to the changelog. Whether it actually works or not may depend on the particular phone and if it's been tested.
Also, it only works with the stock CM music player (so far). I'm currently using ThGoCm v3.0, and... it doesn't come with the stock player.
According to this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18211506&highlight=avrcp#post18211506), it's at least partially working on FreeXperia CM7.2.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=911364)! That was for version FXP030 though, and it's currently at FXP046. I'll probably try it this weekend.
AVRCP stands for "Audio/Video Remote Control Profile". To put it simply, AVRCP is the part of Bluetooth that lets you stream music. Only version 1.3 and higher can show track info, and stock Android has been using version 1.0.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So this AVRCP thing is the reason why I get no proper display of the songs' titles on my bluetooth device because the phone does not communicate with it completely.
Now please somebody find a solution to update AVRCP on all roms, as it is on CM.

Android on Touch Pro, Viable Yet?

It has been quite some time since the HTC touch pro came and since the very beginning there was talk about running android on it. I mean I remember a month after the Touch Pro came out someone had Android running on it, although it was just a proof of concept and didn't have touch or anything working.
So how has is been coming? Is Android finally a viable option for the Touch Pro?
I mean I would love to try android on my phone, as long as it works with bluetooth and the hardware buttons...that's really all I need. I can manage without wifi, speaker, etc.

Sorry I didn't know about the wiki and I did do a search for android in the ROM development forum and didn't come up with much.
But I was just wondering what kind of experiences people have had with it and wether it has been working smoothly.

Can somebody help me with a weird problem?
Everything boots up just fine, but when I follow the how-to for my mobile networking my hardware keys(home, back, dial & disconnect) won't work!
Does anyone have a solution for that?
edit: it seems to be that the home and dial key are also left and the back and disconnect key are acting like a right key
thx in advance!
You asked for an opinion right?
I did try the android ports, even tried the one that's more recent but I didn't find them usable. They're too complicated and things don't work as expected. Maybe in time they will create a usable port for the touch pro but by then I will want to change my phone...I'm considering that right now too...
BUT. Some quality work has been done and it is a really cool experience. I appreciate all the work that has been put into that project.

Remote Tracker for Android?

Does anyone know if there is a similar Android app to this fabulous WinMo app?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394203
If this is not in the correct place, please move it.
I figured since the WinMo version was created by someone on XDA, maybe someone here has, or would, create an Android version?

RemoteTracker for Android is almost there!
Hello all,
I know I was out for a very long time. But now it's time to release the first version for Android. But, before I go to Google Play, I need to test it in several devices. So, I released the first release candidade version in http://remotetracker.sourceforge.net/RemoteTracker.apk.
There is also a PRO version, with more features, like capture all images from camera, take a picture from front camera when SEND button is pressed and more. You will can buy it from Play, but helping me with tests, translations or anything you will get it for free.
As I said before, RemoteTracker for Windows Mobile could be a success because the users, not me. And you can do it again for Android
There is a long way to go. I'm just starting the project.
All the Best!!!
That good news, I'm downloading and testing!

My custom rom compiled from the source cyanogenmod 9 ICS 4.0.4 for u8650 GSM
Unofficial CM9 LuckyIcsGsm 4.0.4 ---> google....
OMG!!! Thank you soo much! its amazing!
but I have two problems
1. The call volume is really quiet on the loudest setting, and loudspeaker doesnt work well.
2. Mobile data dosent work, pages just load forever and never actually open.
Other than that, its an amazing rom
Hi
I have posted my custom rom here on xda ----> the link Here
Only hardware bug is Photocamera and Video.....
Beta 5 with bluetooth fixed and other.....
Since i'm new here i can't post on the LuckICSgsm thread, but i'd like to point out these bugs:
1. Can't send SMS to groups
2. Many times incoming calls don't show the caller's name
3. Can't dial frequent numbers (from the frequent numbers tab)
Fix these and the camera and the ROM will be the best out there for this phone, truly outstanding, way better than stock, way faster and stable than any other custom ones out there

I totally agree! I had these problems, but also that the phone calls where really hard to hear.
I will definitely use this rom when these are fixed and the camera works

[Q] Neophyte needs pointers on ROM

Using Samsung Galaxy Note from Tmobile, the SGH-T879, a.k.a SGH-i717, Android version 4.0.4, Rooted
About me: I am not a developer or programmer; but, I am savvy enough to manipulate/configure Windows computers, remove malicious software and generally troubleshoot many common problems on a PC.
What I need to do: I need to record cell phone conversations at the line level (not speakerphone) and am beginning to believe that isn't possible on Android 4.0.4. Someone told me I might need a custom ROM that allows line recording. I don't understand ROM and its relation to the phone as well as I do Windows OS and its relation to the Computer; but, I want to learn so I can solve this call recording problem.
Can someone point me in the right direction for learning about this?
Sir, there are apps free from the GPlay Market for this...take a look, although you have to be rooted for some apps but you stated you are rooted.
A custom ROM is not needed.
Again, do a search via mighty Google and see any thing points you to the Market GPlay.
google voice has this built in. just press 4 while in call.

Thanks for the reply.
I have been working on this problem for two weeks+, have tried many call recording programs and had exchanges with their tech support. NONE will record from line on this phone. Their final answer is to just use speakerphone. I have had exchanges with others and found that not one has reported a successful LINE level recording with stock Android versions above 2.3.5. I have also read in forums where some were able to record but it broke when their Android versions were upgraded or they got a newer phone with a later Android version.
The recording programs offered on Google are, in my opinion, misnamed voice recorders as they record only when the phone is on speaker.
Please, is there a good place on the 'net where I can learn about ROMs?.

First read the thread linked below at least twice for help on understanding how to flash custom ROM builds etc.. Reading it twice will help make sure you grasp everything well prior to flashing your Note.
[Road & Ref Map]: Galaxy Note Super Everything Thread (I717) 9/11/2012: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740367
Moreover, once you understand the steps needed in order to load different ROM builds etc.., below is a link to an excellent Gingerbread 2.3.6 XLA2 ROM by DAGr8 that has the line recording built in. That said, I still use it as my "go to" ROM when not trying out ICS & JB builds, due to the built in line recording, as well as the ability to enable Ad-Hoc WiFi support by switching out the wpa_supplicant file.

Hey Alex, don't thank me, d'oh! I somehow skipped right past your first OP post. If you have a Samsung Galaxy Note from T-Mobile, "the SGH-T879 model", and not the SGH-I717 model from At&t, SAUROM may not work as intended, and you should post in T-Mobile Galaxy Note section, not here. That said, I'm not sure what would be best for the T-Mobile Note as far as line recording, but you should post and search in that specific sub-forum for help.
Best to all,
R
Yes, it is the T879 and thanks for the heads-up.
I don't see a T879 or T-mobile Galaxy Note section here. Where is it?
Thanks.
It isn't here - its an altogether different forum. Just go to the main list of supported phones and find it there.

[Q] No Bluetooth headphone audio on ROM 4.1.2 - 4.2 JellyBam - 20121110

Hi, I can't post in a developer's forum yet so therefore can't ask if this has been sorted yet but HEY! Does anyone know if this can or will be sorted soon? I don't post much in these forums, mainly because the answers are already somewhere, but I'm not new to android/changing ROMs.
I simply need the phone to connect with bluetooth and stream music when I'm in my car. I use this every day but the last working version of the Jellybam ROM was 2012-11-05. Since then the bluetooth won't stream the music. Phone works fine and the connection is okay but no sound. I've no doubt that if this was a headphone set it wouldn't work either.
Someone posted their 'fix' which I tried and got no connection at all so I re-installed 20121105 :crying:
I like the ROM, it has everything else that I want and it seems fast and I wonder why this change was made?
Anyway, any ideas, please reply

Hmm, can you please explain that it's not a ROM problem but that all Jellybean ROMS have this issue. I think that an issue is a problem and Jellybean ROMs have this problem which isn't being sorted. I'll go back to my original point that the version released on 5th November didn't have a Bluetooth issue but all subsequent versions do - why and is it going to be rectified?
