Does Android 4.1 allow a device to serve as a Hands-Free Profile (HFP) device? Similar to the way many newer cars come with integrated Bluetooth/HFP, I would like to use my tablet (Nexus 7) as a front-end for my phone. When an incoming call comes in, the phone should relay the call over Bluetooth to the tablet; it should also allow the tablet to make outgoing calls via Bluetooth over the phone's network.
Please note that I am not interested in solutions such as GrooveIP, Talkatone, and SIPDroid. I am specifically looking for Bluetooth HFP.
I've done quite a bit of searching but have not seen an app that does this. I wouldn't mind looking into developing such a product - but I first wanted to know if the HSP 1.6 host API was available in Android 4.1. I've seen resources stating it was available in ICS 4.0, but I believe this is to allow Android devices to connect to third-party HSP devices - I'm looking to do the opposite (i.e. have the Android device serve as the HSP host).
i am also curious about this.

For those of us that plans to install a Android tablet in the car for music etc. this would be tha last part to make it a complete in-car device.
I am another curious one about this. The only devices I know of for sure that can do this are the 3.6 and 4.2 samsung galaxy players. Unfortunately, I have the 4.0 galaxy player, that doesn't support it. The galaxy players run gb, not jb, btw.

From what I can gather:
* Bluetooth defines HFP to have two roles: the Audio Gateway (AG) role and the Hands-Free (HF) role.
* Android doesn't natively support the HF role.
I too am interested in exactly what you are describing -- would like to use a tablet as the infotainment hub of a vehicle. I would happy to be a part of or organize a bounty to support development of such a capability in CM10.

Someone custom-implemented the needed Bluetooth role
Looks like some Android device has custom implementations of both A2DP sink role and hands free unit role. I can't post links yet. Google this:

any leads if this is available on android yet? (Hands free profile)
There's some development about this but I'm not sure it's possible yet.
have a look at the links here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions...a-receiver-for-a2dp-profile/28892944#28892944
I want, too
to use android device as hands free
Hello,
I'm owner of Skoda Octavia 2010, and this car need rSAP protocol for use car as headset & phonebook, etc..
But, LG Optimus L9 don't have support of rSAP and application Android-rSAP is just for Samsung / HTC devices.
On my SGS3 it's OK. What can I do?

Dude,search in Play Store for rSAP. Install this and this . The second app is a paid app. But you can find a trial version. You must have root access on your phone. I have tested tose two apps on my Xperia Z1 Compact (4.4.2) and works perfectly on my 2010 Passat CC.
Hello,
Searching for "Mirrorlink" here, I have noticed that mirrorlink is only discussed to try to connect "old" devices to their car but with MirrorLink 1.0.
Now that MirrorLink 1.1, integrated to Lollipop, seems to be a much better "standard" and now that car manufacturers have understood that their embedded screen should follow the same "standard", a new general topic dedicated to MirrorLink 1.1 may be created in the forum to exchange our knowledges and experiences ?
For instance, mine:
I tested with success a Samsung Galaxy S5 with Lollipop connected (USB) to the embedded screen of my Peugeot 108 car, as their are both compatible with MirrorLink 1.1. List of the few compatible apps. Please see Mirrorlink website to see the short list of available apps certified by the Car Connectivity Consortium
This small car is the child of an agreement between PSA and Toyota. Thus, I can imagine that it also works in new Citroen C1 and Toyota Aygo.

Hi there,
AFAIK Mirrorlink is a software only feature to phones, hence I started wondering if there is a method (flashable/magisk/xposed) to implement Mirrorlink to devices (or custom roms) that didn't get shipped with this feature.
For example; I have an OP6, and my car has a feature to connect to mirrorlink devices. I'd like to use this feature but my device didn't get shipped with Mirrorlink.
Hi there,
is there any way to install Mirrorlink on a non Mirrorlink phone? Like a Huawei P20 Lite?
So far I had HTC M8 with mirrorlink and with floating apps I could watch youtube in my car via mirrorlink.
The problem is Huawei has no mirrolink support
So is there any way to install Mirrorlink on the P20 lite or is this an issue of hardware and not software?
