Re: Request for Chefs: Do NOT use Widcomm bluetooth stack from shipped ROMs

There's got to be a better answer than just not using the newer stack.

Also, wasn't the stack in the TP1 2.0 a Widcomm stack as well? Maybe I am confused.
It's not the BT version that is the problem. It's the fact that the stack is a Non-MS stack. The MS Stack works perfectly fine and is the generally accepted WinMo standard (and thus the most widely developed for) and there really was no reason to switch to something else. The TP1 has an MS stack. The last HTC to have a Widcomm stack was the XV6600/PPC6600 IIRC. When the stack works properly, it's great, but that seems to be the exception rather than the rule. It's having a ton of problems across the board with software, such as MSVC, VVM, etc., not to mention the nerfed PAN profile leaving ICS with no bluetooth option. Perhaps in the kitchens it could be made into a selectable option, but I for one hate the thing. Give me a 2.1 MS stack or even the 2.0 MS stack.
