All of the 2.2 based ROMs don't have the headset functionality I'm looking for, and it appears it's a 2.2 issue.
Is anyone still working on 2.1 based ROM's?
Whether it's still under development or not, where can I find a couple of good simple bloatware free 2.1 based ROMs?
I tried searching the development forum, but there's so much about current ROMs (2.2 based) that I can't filter through them and find a 2.1 based ROM.
Thanks, alabamaroping
what headset functionality do you think is broken on all 2.2 roms? those issues have all been resolved unless you have some random new one
I'm looking to have the call output routed through a standard headset connection, NOT the headset that came with the phone that supports mic, and stereo audio out.
A standard headphone connection only has the audio out, no mic. (as I'm sure you know). I'll be listening to music in my truck, and a call will come in and i'll have to unjack the 3.5mm jack and grab the phone instead of the call just routing through the speakers.
I've tried the following: (Cognition 2.3b7, AXURA 2.4, eSPyeL's ROM Beta3.4.1). None of them work.

AS far as I know no one is still working on 2.1 roms anymore. To tell the truth from all the roms I have have seen the "issue" with the headset without a mic may not be a clitch. I will have to ask a few people that got the 2.2 official update to make sure but I think it was changed on purpose by google. (could be wrong though, will have to wait till I talk to some people)
The car dock allows call output to standard headphones, just got mine yesterday and it works. But, you know it's against the law almost everywhere to wear headphones and drive right?
Captivate Froyo / Perception Build 9 - Cog Kernel 4
Sent via XDA through the ether that is.
no headphones
Actually, I don't drive with headphones. I have a 3.5mm jack run into my truck stereo system. It's the same as a headphone jack, so I just use that as an example.
I've been using headphones to test functionality when sitting in my office, and the jack is the same, so I've been using the two interchangeably.
However, you are correct: it's unsafe to drive with headphones, but I see the iPeople doing it with their iPhones & iPods all the time.
The only 2.1 ROM out there still that should be available is Cognition. Lord knows though I haven't tried to download it... buyer beware.
Might just be easier to keep your "stock" 2.1 - Root it and get an application like Titanium Backup that will uninstall the bloat on your phone.
And.. I thought the issue for 2.2 custom ROMS were due to the use of i9000 modems/kernels? Or was that only Bluetooth?

Also, does the bluetooth issue still exist on the never versions? I haven't used my bluetooth earpiece in along time so I haven't bothered to try on these newer roms.

hey guys i've been searching for an app that can maybe re-route audio to bluetooth. i used to use a similar program like that on WinMo handsets. my searches have turned up nothing, short of getting a stereo headset that supports AD2P is there a way that i can send the audio from my music player to my bluethoot? btw i am rooted and running JF 1.5....thanks
I hear you on this one (pun intended)! On my Wing I downloaded an app called 'BTaudio' and it performed flawlessly! I am quite suprised that no one has developed an app like this for the G1 yet...at least as far as I know!
I miss listening to music through my BT headset as well. I think it was added to the ota cupcake version that tmo/google released. I'm not sure though as I have a rooted g1 running jf 1.51cbr43. Hope someone figures it out soon cause I sold my ipod touch and won't use the adapter lol.....

well i'm no expert but from what i've read i've deducted that cupcake does support Stereo Bluetooth (AD2P) but you need a compatible headset to use it. i won't really have much use for a stereo headset so i don't really want to buy one, i hope someone can develop an app to address this issue.
I am stunned that no one at all has come up with this program to satisfy the needs of many. This should be cake-work for any android programmer.
My TMobile Wing was stolen from me by TSA at an airport in Georgia in September. So I do not even have it to use as a backup anymore when I need to use the BTAudio program. Got to love TSA sometimes!!
I specifically need to use an audio gateway for sounds effects and music to be played over standard mono Bluetooth audio.

Did anyone find a solution to this? I want to route all phone audio to my bluetooth headset, so I can use voice search and listen to Visual Voicemail without having to pick up the phone.
I wish!!!! It sucks that this is not a standard part of the OS.
The upgrade was super smooth and I am rooted on Froyo. Prior to the upgrade, I was able to connect to my car audio via a 3.5mm connection that interfaces with the cassette deck. Whenever I received phone calls, I could automatically hear the caller through the car speakers. That seems to have gone away. It no longer happens. Is there a setting that I need to change to re-enable that option? I soooo miss that hands free feel. Please help.
Outside of that one small issue, Froyo is incredible. Where I used to end my 8 hour day at work with approximately 55% battery remaining, I now end the same day with 70-75% remaining. Love it!
I have been running the Cog 2.2 Beta2 and have not had any problems with audio output in the car. My car does not have A2DP so I run the music out though the 3.5mm and use BT for phone calls only. When a call comes in my music fades and the BT audio takes over without problem.

Audio out through headset jack on calls is a known issue with the captivate froyo release. There is no workaround i have heard of. You can check the Froyo issues thread for more info.

Alright. Thanks. At least I know it's not just me.
Hello all,
I would like to pose an observation to who ever the developers are for the 2.2 Froyo version for the Samsung Captivate (actual issue in bold/question italicized to skip the history). *A bit of history of what I have done with my phone* I have only had my phone for about a week now and when I got it it was 2.1. The phone worked flawlessly but I am a geek and I like to hack things to unleash it's full capacity.
Anyways, I updated using the AT&T updated way to 2.1v1 then Rooted my phone. WOW, what an improvement!!! Well I couldn't stop there when 2.2 was one click way using Odin 3 v1.30. This worked perfectly and BOOM, I now have v.2.2 on my phone. Flash works great, wireless tether works perfectly and all the other bells and whistles were all clicking together.
Before I updated to 2.2 (which for the Captivate is "unofficial"), I was able to plug my phone in using the Audio Aux port (for head phones) directly into my car stereo and use that as a sort of "Speaker Phone" while I was driving. The sound would come out of the car speakers clear and I could talk at a normal tone of voice while my phone was on the dash and the person on the other end couldn't even tell. After I updated to 2.2, the sound quality is at a whisper at full volume for the stereo. This only happens during a phone call, if I listen to Pandora or TuneIn, the sound is crystal clear.
I know that this is not the end of the world but it is extremely nice to use this when the phone is mounted and I am using one of the many great "driving apps" that are available for the Droid. The phone call is in the background and I see the Nav Maps or see speed traps using Trapster while I talk to my wife (I love this processor!!!).
I have also rooted my phone and that did not solve the issue. That was a long shot but it needed to be done.
OK, now here is the question, does anybody know how to fix this?
I am running 2.2 and use my phone's aux audio out for music but BT for phone. I will try and replicate your issue today. I am no dev but I'll see if it is an isolated incident or not.
Until then, a few questions to clarify:
1. have you tried testing the phone audio out with another device such as headset or home receiver?
2. What type of cable/adapters are you using? (3.5mm male to 3.5mm male)
3. Did you perform a master clear before going to 2.2
I'm having the same issue and will try to troubleshoot it so you know where to look. Plugging into my stereo is just like plugging into regular speakers/headphones. Going to revert my phone back to stock, do all stock update and then add this to it with the logging on. Probably won't have all the detail till this weekend.
Mike
Shovelhead84- 1) Yes, I have tried to see if the works with my computer speakers and the same issue is still occuring 2) it is a male to male cable (don't know the size but sounds like 3.5mm is the default so lets go with that) 3) No I did not do master clear before updating to 2.2 Froyo. I read that it wipes everything clean during the proccess so didn't really think that I should be now, of course, I could see why a master clean would be needed. I should have known. Oh well, you live and you learn and you share your knoledge.
makton3g- Thank you for your help. It sounds like you are going to put some realy leg work into this issue. Thanks. When you say "with logging on", is that something in SDK? I havn't began that journey yet, the SDK. so I have no idea what options are avalible...
I have this problem as well. Is there a solution?
I have begun to start flashing my captivate and have noticed that (at least to what i believe) in froyo you can not use headphones to listen to call audio. I have flashed 2 stock eclair roms and they are working perfectly with this feature. However any eclair rom I try sound is only routed to the internal speakers. I have tried Perception, cognition and even JI6 stock. None will route call audio through the headphones.
If anyone could test it on their phones and report back that would be great. I am wondering if it a bug in captivate froyo roms, or if it is just because of froyo.
*Update*
Found this thread in the Vibrant Forums. Initially they say it is a problem with froyo. However there are a couple roms which do fix the problem. So there must be a way for our captivate too.
Any one have any luck testing this on their rom?
has a solution been found for this?
i cant use any audio out =(, having the same problem with it hooked up in my car
Look for roms that have:
xcaliburinhand's
-headset jack fix
hardware solutions
You are correct sir. Anything 2.2 or newer (2.2.1) does not enable audio out through the headset (even with Xcal's headset fix) unless you are using a headset that has a microphone on it.
How does the phone know? If you look at your headset that came with the phone, it has 3 rings around the plug. Left audio, Right audio, and Mic. If the phone doesn't see that 3rd ring, then it will turn off audio out when a call comes in.
The fix will cost you about $20. You can get an adapter with 3 rings going into the phone, and a female spot for the audio you hook to your car.
If you already have a 3.5mm jack hard wired to your vehicle and/or want to use the cable you have, use this:

or this:

(what I wish I would have got)
If you have an AUX port on the front of your radio, and want another solution (new cable) buy this:

Thank you so much for your informative post.
Problem is.... $20 is too much atm. I am POOR with a capital PO'.... I couldn't afford to capitalize the or. Wonder if there would possibly be any way to work around this issue software-wise? My stereo aux cable worked great in Eclair. Problem is, I don't get al the speed and shiny of Froyo with Eclair. At least I know what the issue is now...

Pretty much nailed it. Once the kernel receives the interrupt that something has been plugged in, it checks the resistance between ring 3 and 4 (microphone and ground). If it is low, the kernel recognizes that it is either a normal pair of earphones or a line out (since ring 3 and 4 are the same on a normal 3 ring connector).
Gothpunk4christ reached out to me for a solution that doesn't require additional hardware (still want's to use the microphone on the handset). Shouldn't be too difficult to build a custom kernel that treats headphones/line out as a wired headset. The kicker is making sure the kernel doesn't disable the handset microphone.

You're awesome dude.
If anyone's looking for someone to randomly donate to, this guy is it. He's been very helpful and polite and going beyond what I would consider a helpful response in order to make this work.
So will this hit development anytime soon?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
seriously.
This is majorly irritating--I use my captivate as an mp3player all the time and it's a pain in the ass to take out my headphones every time a call comes through.
I9000_reoriented_v2.3.1_bln_hpcalls.zip has a fix in it.
Enjoy.

I can confirm that this kernel does fix the call audio issue. Everything gets routed through the headphones, which is a nice sigh of relief. Thanks for all of your input everyone!
EDIT: I am pretty sure cognition 3.04 has this functionality built in to it.

As does D1ll1gaf's newer stuff.
Let me tell you about my quest regarding this subject:
I first tried using a Motorokr t505 bluetooth device that featured a FM transmitter, but the audio quality was absolutely horrible thru the car radio (too much static regardless which station you tried), not to mention the clumsy way you had to switch back and forth from phone mode to music player via the FM transmitter, coupled with the fact the stupid device was always giving you a new FM station to tune into - it just simply was way too much of a hassle plus more of a safety hazard trying to get the motorokr device to work and in the correct mode while driving. There had to be a better, more simply way to enjoy the feature of using your cell phone for conversations thru your car radio.
I've been using a cheap $15 FM transmitter (http://www.amazon.com/Coby-CA-745-W...F6G0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1298180340&sr=8-1) I got a while back from Amazon and the mp3 music quality from my Samsung Captivate was great thru to my car stereo - I mean no static what-so-ever. The problem was, I couldn't use the phone thru the care stereo. So I rooted my phone, and now a whole new world opened up.
I up my Firmware to 2.2.1 (froyo) via superoneclick, change to a custom ROM ParagonRCS (see http://alchemistar.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-captivate-custom-rom-list-1110.html ), and I took advantage of the speedmod kernal (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893880 ).
Now my Samsung Captivate, when connected to my cheap FM transmitter, can send and receive calls thru my car stereo. I also use a free app called ChoiceDialer. So now all I have to do is invoke ChoiceDialer (the only time I have to touch the phone while driving), say who I want to call, and voila - my call goes thru the car radio. Also, when my mp3 music is playing thru the radio via my Captivate, and a call comes in (which I have it setup on my phone to auto answer after 2 seconds), the music pauses and I just start talking - excellent!!!
The only slightly down side is when I'm NOT listening to my mp3 player and thus tuned into another FM station, when a call does comes in, I have to select on my stereo the pre-set button that's set to the station my FM transmitter is set to, but not a big deal - I certainly can live with that!
Sorry for the long-winded response, but you don't know (or maybe you do) how frustrating it was trying to get information on this subject. I thought bluetooth was the answer, but quite frankly, my 1st and only experince with bluetooth sucked.
The end!
I'm using CarbonRom is both HD and HD+ and this problem is the same for both. Today, I made a phone call and the person wasn't getting enough volume and the words were garbled. I tried the headset with Google Voice search and VoiceToText in other apps. It is evident that the mic isn't working correctly. I tried a different wired headset and the result was the same. For reference the headsets are a Klipsh S4A and stock that comes with Galaxy S3. The onboard mic works as expected. I paired a Bluetooth headset and, surprisingly, that worked the best of all.
Sometimes this is a kernel issue. I reflashed the rom without the fstrim kernel and that made no difference.
I am thinking that this is a bug that may be in the various Android, custom roms and that's why I didn't post only in CarbonRom thread. It may even be a problem with stock. I don't think there are many people that use a wired headset with mic. I make phone calls with MagicJack.
Maybe a few people that have a headset with mic can try and report back if this is a problem for the particular rom they are using.
someone here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2388088 mentioned it worked with cm 10.1, maybe that one would work for you

Yes, I can confirm this issue, apparently.
I'll try to see what could be done.
