Yep, just notcied that after I posted. Fixed it and still can't get BT to enable at all. I think I'll have to go the route of blowing away my Android on my SD card and start out fresh and see what I get. Thansk for all the help!

It's far from easy to setup. You might just want to hold off until it's properly implemented into a build.

Do you have audio, like ringers and in call volume just no BT? That might help us figure out your problem.

Also, I posted my good init.rc file here xda-developers - View Single Post - [TESTING] New audio routing for Froyo Feel free to try it. I had a typo in mine at first, and it took awhile to find it.

I lost all audio actually. Now I decided to go ahead and redo everything. I'll let you know if I still have issues after that.

Well, unfortunately even after redoing it all: I still can't get it to work. I might just wait until this included in a build. Thanks for all the help and I'm quite thrilled to know that it does work even though I'm not l33t enough to get it working myself.

I haven't had the time to do this as I've been super-busy, but does the stereo jack on the bottom now work with BT?

It seems like the two using some sort of audio gateway would be very closely linked.

It also seems like you need to import binary blobs from WM to make Bluetooth in Android work. Isn't that what the csv files are?

Not sure if the csv's can be considered 'binary blobs' but sure...

The 3.5mm jack is completely independent of BT - how are they tied together...? You make it sound like plugging something into the 3.5mm jack has something to do with BT, they're mutually exclusive.

Not sure it's completely independent. Read the XDA post about the audio routing. The audio routing was a requirement for something like a BT headset to work. It improved in-call quality within the headset calling, too. Not to mention, video camera audio working.

When testers don't have BT running right, speakerphone w/ external-mic calling in previous work kernels fails.

Not to mention pdawg's comment on XDA:

Would the 'ol logcat -v time and dmesg be best or something else?"

I've read the whole thread. 3.5mm audio is not fixed - now the userland audio routing may be affected, however there's no support in the kernel for it - so it's still not working, that's my point that they are mutually exclusive.

Okay all, I followed these directions xda-developers - View Single Post - [TESTING] New audio routing for Froyo exactly and it worked! This is so awesome, A2DP works! I still have a bit of trouble getting call audio to route to the BT headset. One really import thing that seems to help is to DISABLE BT in WinMo, power down, boot back into WinMo then run HaRET and you should be able to turn on BT just fine in Android. What I'm excited about is the fact that I am able to jog/run with my phone and use A2DP with less skipping and audio issues than Windows Mobile had. Still haven't determined if BT is interfering with GPS or viceversa, Endomondo didn't track me properly while listening to music over A2DP.

I've always had a suspician that Bluetooth and GPS share some of the same resources (chipset, IRQ/DMA or soemthing like that) and that is why it didn't play so well togther in Windows Mobile at least while using A2DP while GPS is tracking.

Yeah i am excited about this also.
This is the break through for the phone i was waiting for.
Does AVRCP work for you?
