I need to find bluetooth drivers for my Galaxy S2 AT&T. Not for windows, but to flash onto the phone. Can anyone point me to some bluetooth drivers?

I don't understand why you would need bluetooth drivers; I'm prettry sure that whatever rom you're running has bluetooth included.... what rom are you running? Are you sure you have an I777? Are you sure it's not the device you're attempting to connect to that has a problem?

Thanks for responding. I am running AOKP JB 4.1.2. Yes, I am sure I have an I777. No, I am not sure it is not the device. I am pretty sure the rom I flashed (the one just before the most recent) included new BT drivers. I am having issues with all my BT devices. Issues I didn't have before, on the AOKP ICS rom. I just wanted to try the original drivers from the stock rom or something else to see if that clears up my issues.

I am using the Fluxii kernel that came with the rom.
Why not just flash a different Rom ? If the current one isn't doing what you need, try another. There's a bunch out there. There's a good chance this could fix your issue. But I've never personally experienced issues involving Bluetooth and AOKP, always been stable for me.

Don't get me wrong, I like the AOKP rom. Well, I could try a different rom, do all roms include different bluetooth drivers? I have never seen a thread listing which ones are where... I also stated in the second post of mine that it still could be the devices I am using. I will seriously consider a different rom, thanks.
Try 4.2 aokp

OK... Rooted my GS2 with CF-Root v5.0, flashed to CheckromRevoHD v4 and installed mods etc.
However, still can't connect any bluetooth gamepads (Wiimote/Sixaxis)? I can only assume I'm still using the Samsung Bluetooth driver?
Please could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
*Edit* Flashed kernel to DarkKnight 2.4.3 but it still says "no route to host" when I try to connect a Wiimote?

Kinda nitpicking, but fine, I should have said stock based ROM.
So from that you should be able to deduce information about non-stock based ROMs (AOSP).

Apologies if you thought I was being flippant... not my intention.
So which ROMS have a modified Bluetooth driver? I'm looking at MUIU & CM7.1, however, not sure if these are any better than what I already have? Also can I simply flash over the top from within CWM, without loosing all my settings etc?
Many thanks.

You can find information about CM7 in the Q&A thread in this very forum, and MIUI on its own site.

So the issue is the "stock" (Samsung based) bluetooth stack. It doesn't work with bluetooth controllers, including Wiimotes and (until somewhat recently) ps3 controllers.
However, the Sixaxis Controller had an update I think in November that employs a workaround that uses some kind of tunneling protocol to connect to ps3 controllers. (I have this app, which is paid, but does work on Samsung based ROMs) Wiimotes still do not work on any ROM that is using the Samsung bluetooth stack.
AOSP based ROMS, such as MIUI, CM7, or any ROM based on those, should be able to use both Wiimotes and ps3 controllers normally.
So as I was reading some of the new roms they have tags like RootBox Jelly Bean is a "pure" AOKP/CM. I'm not sure what AOKP/CM is and when i read some of the comments they started talking about the rom being hellraised. Could someone help me understand what they mean by hellraising?

Aokp and cm are open source based roms based on vanilla androids with a few tweaks. Hell raise means the rom was originally on the i9100 but was ported to our phones

No it doesn't, hellraising makes it 100% compatible. And you do it through recovery. If to don't know that then you have some reading to do.

Our kernels come with recovery built in. So flashing a ROM gives u the recovery.
so I went ahead and flashed to a new rom, pretty diffrent. But I noticed it doesnt seem to have goole play for downloading apps. is that normal?

Its normal if u flashed an AOSP based ROM that requires gapps to be flashed afterward.
So when I go to the apps I see an icon for goo. In when I click that there is an option to download gapps. When I download it, it askes if I want to flash. Do I reflash?
nm, IM still pretty new to this. when i tred flashing the one that they had in the goo.im manger i think it was the wrong version since it just keep crashing the apps so I can to the newest version and now it seems to work. this new rom is kinda cool!
THanks for you guys help
im sure ill be back with more questions
Hello everyone,
It has been more than one year that I've been using Samsung-based custom ROMs on my S3, but now when I want to use an AOSP ROM, I can't make calls with them!
I've tried Cyanogenmod 10.2 (latest weekly) and SlimBean 4.3 (latest stable) and when I try calling someone, the call ends immediately. If I try opening the phone app -> settings -> Additional settings, I get a "Call settings error: Network or SIM card error". This does not happen when I use the stock ROM or a Samsung-based ROM (like Wanamlite or Omega, which I've used the most).
What should I do? I'd appreciate any help!

Seemed like a good idea - I tried flashing 3 different versions (via Odin) and none of them made the calls work
Maybe I'm just using the wrong ones?
Can anyone link me the latest modems available for the international S3 that works with the 4.3.x android versions and the new EFS partition formats? I'd appreciate it so much, as I can't find anything past 4.1.2 versions :good:

Are you on CM based ROM? If yes you need modem without RIL.
EDIT: Sorry you mentioned that.
I pulled my old Vibrant out of a box and thought I'd try to run a newer version on android on it, but I haven't been about to make heads or tails of the development forum. After 3+ hours of fiddling and 3 or 4 programs downloaded, I'm at a loss. The phone currently has Bali kernel and Bionix-V FishmanMod which I loaded on it in 2011 or 2012 and have no recollection of what I did. :silly:
I think my questions are:
Do I need to revert to stock? Because odin refuses to recognize my phone in download mode. It sees it fine when it is booted normally.
Otherwise, what do I need to do to update the kernel and put kit kat on the phone?
If there's anybody out there, thanks and I tried really really hard and I'm just really confused.
I think it would be best for you to go back to stock first.
1. Make sure that your drivers are properly installed
2. Try different usb ports, reboot computer/phone, different usb cable if Odin won't recognise the phone.
Honestly, going back to stock won't help much. Install a JB rom and or kernel and from there install a kitkat kernel then rom. In that order. Make sure you wipe data and cache completely to make sure there isn't any problems.

Hey guys! I'm using a Galaxy Note with a Bell board (was originally AT&T but that bricked because at the time I thought flashing an N7000 ROM would work, D'oh!) and I want to upgrade to a Jelly Bean Rom. I'm using Blackstar XI, a 4.0.4 ROM, and I'm looking for a lightweight JB rom. It can lack stylus/pen support, I found myself not using that feature as much as I thought I would.
Would I run into any issues using a QuincyATT Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 ROM, considering it's a Bell note board? Would I need to unlock my SIM first? And I recall there being a trick with Notepad++ I needed to do in order to make it work, even on my AT&T board.
I just have an issue with heavy RAM usage at boot and I can't even run some apps, since I know touchwiz is stupid.
Anyone willing to help me get it running on my note? Any help would be appreciated!

If you like blackstar, I would just flash Blackstar Blackjelly after doing a backup. It's what I've been running as my go-to on my Telus note. The other jb's are great too, but cm comes with the odd small bug like echo on speaker phone. Most of the customizations make them worth trying though.

Sweet. I could give that a try if the Cyanogenmod ROM doesn't work. Is there anything I need to do in preparation, since this is technically a Bell note? Or can I just go ahead and flash the ROM without any changes to the ZIP?

I'm assuming you have an unlocked bootloader already since you are running cm. Just be sure to have latest cm recovery or gimmeitorilltell's twrp (although other versions work with Jellybean, if you try kitkat or lollipop you'll have problems). Make sure you are flashing a quincyatt rom.
I have been using SGH-I717ATT-UCMD3-Modem with great success for a radio. Your mileage may vary.
If you get no signal, before blaming the rom, first check your mobile networks access point names and settings to be sure they match your carrier. (A good idea is to take a couple screenshots of your settings now before you flash any new roms as there are quite a few numbers involved)

Good news! I tried the CM10.1.3 ROM and it worked well minus two small gripes:
1. Occasional freeze/hang on lock screen, causing it to reboot
2. Random artifacting/crashes during video playback/browsing through gallery
I'm gonna say this is the best performing ROM I've tried so far, but I'm going to give BlackJelly a try! I'll keep you posted. Just figured I'd give Cyanogenmod a proper shot now that I know how to install ROMs!
