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?

is there a way.. and if so can somebody work on this, i used an app before on my tablet called blueputdroid that worked as a bluetooth remote for the playstation3, but when i try to use it now it gives me an error that the bluetooth stack (im stock rom) is unsupported and suggests using cyanogenmod (nothing against that, but i would prefer to stay on the stock rom right now as i enjoy it.)
so hopefully someone can work on, or port a bluetooth stack to work with this rom if its possible?
friendly bump
I would start with an email to the dev of the app. The SGS II is an incredibly popular phone. See if they can make the app compatible, instead of trying to replace core system files to be compatible with an app.

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...

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.
Hello,
I have an HTC Inspire 4g running Mustaavalkosta's unofficial Cyanogenmod 10.1 ROM. Everything works great, except my Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 5000, which is an HID Bluetooth keyboard (no SPP). I get a proper PIN exchange and it pairs with my phone successfully, but I can't actually type anything with the keyboard, and it does not appear in the Languages and Input section of the Settings app. The keyboard itself is good because I can use it with my laptop and an iPad.
I've tried apps like BlueInput, MyBlueCon, and Bluetooth keyboard easyconnect, but all fail to make a connection with my keyboard. In the case of BlueInput, I get a message that "this Android does not support Bluetooth HID."
Any other workarounds I could try? Or am I missing something really, really obvious?
(I have a feeling this is a ROM problem and I should be posting in its development thread, but I do not have the permissions.)
I just installed Cyanogenmod 7 stable, and the keyboard does work with this ROM. So does Cyanogenmod 10 just not have HID Bluetooth support? That would be a shame...

Bump! Running CM 10.1 (the TeamCanjica mod) on a Galaxy Ace 2. Phone can seemingly pair with the HID devices which worked in stock rom, but no luck in connecting to them. It just says connecting and never gets connected.
This rom, in contrast to the stock rom, is really fast, stable and nice. But the possible abscence of BT HID is a bummer. Is it often an intended omission from the CM development team and if so does anyone know why? Does anyone know of possible workarounds? On an older device with Android 2.x, I think I installed some third-party app which worked rather nice.
Pairing keyboard Oreo, same problem

I have used a Logitec dinovo mini for years on Android without using the dongle, but now under Android 8 Oreo, it seems to connect asking for pin and registers, but it does not do anything, and the connect light on the device goes on blinking. If I connect via USB C- OTG - dongle, it works fine, but that is useless as I need the USB C port for HDMI to TV to display the fantastic Linux like desktop (Huawei Mate 10 Pro).
Hello everybody!
I was looking for the possibility of setting my android device with a Miui v7 ROM as a Bluetooth audio sink/receiver. Surpisingly, in my w10 PC I discovered that I was able to set up my previously bt-paired phone as a playback device (see atachment).
After lot of searching, it is indeed a surprise because I thought there wasn't any way that my smartphone could be the receiver.
That's why I want to know if it is possible to port this feature to my nexus 7/any other ROM.
