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

It is going to be messy.

You will need to add

Bluetooth
Bluetooth_Lang_0409

into your ROM... as well as remove the Widcomm stack, which is scrambled up in the OEMDrivers folder. Again - MESSY.

Maybe once an unlocker is done some people can do trial and error to confirm what needs to be removed to wipe out the Widcomm stack.

Thanks for the response. Would be nice if the Widcomm stacks displayed all of their files in the Bluetooth settings like the old 6600 stacks. Perhaps I'll offer a bounty for the first person who can successfully get a fully functioning MS stack after the HardSPL comes out. I'd learn how to do it myself but like I said earlier I just don't have the time.

I would also love to see the bluetooth stack replaced with the MS stack. This stack is completely unusable with my Dodge U-Connect system. My TP1 (MS BT Stack) worked flawlessly.

Takign apart many Rhodium and Whitestone ROMs show that the following packages are missing from every SYS;

IMO, the newer stack works better for me, and won't be using the MS default. But maybe another chef... or maybe even you can create such a ROM.

Great!!!!
Glad to hear you are keeping it.

I myself love the new bluetooth software with the Sprint TP2's

It works great w/ all the bluetooth devices i have...

I just need to find a A2DP app that will work with it and everything would be great!!

Question for everyone:

How many of you can actually get your headset to end a call when you hit the end call button, and what type of headset are you using?

Nothing like driving in your car with your phone put away in your center console and leaving someone a voicemail only to realize your phone didn't hang up and having to fumble around while driving for your phone so you can end the call, all while trying not to swear up a storm due to your frustration into your buddy's voicemail.

I can't get my headset (Moto HX1) to end a call 90% of the time. I've even noticed that if I've been on the headset for a call, if I press the end button on the phone it still takes 2-3 seconds for the phone to hang up.

Beyond that, the A2DP is acting goofy for me. For example, if I connect up my Jaybird stereo earbuds and then press play on PocketPlayer, the phone loses the A2DP connection. I have to start PocketPlayer playing, THEN establish the A2DP connection. I'm having other odd issues with A2DP not wanting to connect with my Parrot car kit. This is Bluetooth 101 in my book, and it isn't working. I have 3 devices from 3 different manufacturers, and none of them work as they should with this phone, while all 3 worked perfectly with my TP1.

Perhaps this Widcomm stack is better, but if this is better, I want the one that's worse. I feel like I'm back in 2003 trying to get basic Bluetooth functions to work.

Not I (U-Connect). I think the only time mine has hung up when pressing the button is when the other end hangs up and the call just ends. I don't believe I've ever successfully ended a call with the handsfree button.

I have since turned off bluetooth all together, because it's just too frustrating to use in its current state.

I've noticed this as well. I'll push the end button on my headset and 75% of the time it WON't end, but then out of nowhere it will? This is on a Motorola H700

Same issues with the hangup button using the Plantronics Voyager Pro.

Same here....Motorola H710. I've now got into the habit of taking my phone out of it's case when I'm in the car and leaving it within arms reach so I can end calls....or at least make sure they've really ended when I think they have!
