[Q] Bluetooth Keyboard aospMod & aospModGB - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having trouble pairing my keyboards with my phone. I know it didn't work in stock 2.1 ("paired but not connected"). I'm seeing the same in aospMod 0.9.9.2 ("paired but not connected"). Using my phone frequently today for calls to swap to GB (maybe this evening), but does anyone have any suggestions for connecting bluetooth keyboards?
Older 2009 threads pointed to an app in the market, but wondering if the recommendations are still the same. Specifically I'm trying to connect either a Logitech DiNovo, or a ThinkOutside Stowaway Universal Bluetooth Keyboard.
Thanks

Got it to work finally. Here's how you can do it:
Download BlueKeyboard JP from Android Market & Install
Under Settings > Input & Keyboard > check BlueKeyboard
Access bluekeyboard (right below the check one), pair up the keyboard
Go back once, choose the keyboard & layout.
Now, go into an app, long press > input method > bluekeyboard
You're set then Now if only we could put HID support in roms, or even Android native.

The CM6.x roms work with HID Keyboards natively.
I just switched from AOSP to BlackMod 6.2 rc1 for this very reason. I'm using a Stowaway Ultra-Slim. All of the programs I tried from the market failed to work for me.

EU Froyo JPK Bluetooh "HID Profile" On Froyo JP3 Rom For KeyBoard & WiiMote Pairing
Please Excuse Mispelling I was typing fast in a rush......
OK Basically if your alittle Video Game Emulator Savy, then u already know the Extreme! capabilities of the of Samsung Vibrant with Video Game Console Emulators. Espeacilly if U Installed The "PSX" Emulator Apk & go into your settings and set the "Screen Refresh Rate" to 60FPS. Its beatiful. The Games "Fighting Force" & "Tekken 1" can run almost at full speed. I believe the Vibrant has no 30 Frames Per Second cap like the Sprint EVO 4G (Note: The 30FPS Cap on The Sprint EVO 4G was just lifted recently in a recent Sprint Android 2.2 OTA Mini Firmware 3.29.651.5 Update) it really flies.
WHATZ MISSING!!!!
===============
WIIMOTE/ WII REMOTE OR PS3 Controller Syncing......
The Regular Non! TouchWiz!.... Non! HTC Sense! Stock Andriod 2.1 Roms
has a different "Bluez" BlueTooth Stack than the Vibrant's Android 2.1 Bluetooth 3.0 Bluetooth Stack. Even though the Non TouchWiz Stock Android Rom has BT 2.1 not BT 3.0; the BT 2.1 Bluez STack has been out longer and developes have made more apps to sync the "Wii Remote" to the Stock Android 2.1 BT Profile.....NOT! the BT 3.0 profile.
Which means u can sync two "Wii Remotes" to your Galaxy S & play PlayStation 1 Co-Op/2 Player Games/Roms right on your phone. (Also SNES Emulators like "SNESOID" & many More) U can also hook the GALAXY S/ Vibrant to your TV through the "TV OUT" feature & have a mini PSX Gaming Console thats poratble SO U CAN TAKE IT ANYWHERE. (Use the 3.5 Head Phone Jack For Regular TV Out and the Micro SD Port for HDMI TV Out)
Whatz Up, Eugene

Whatz Up Witcha Wes,
What Do yall think?
U guys are pioneering the Froyo! Vibrant Movment Right Now....
Is it possibale at all to port over the Euro Version Of "Froyo JPK" Bleuz Bluetooth Stack with HID (Keyboard) Profile Over to the US Version "Froyo JP3". Its very complicated code but i wanted to know if it was at all possiable to swap BT Stacks. Samsung special brand of bluetooth 3.0 on Vibrant dosent support the HID keyboard protocal but the EU JPK Version Does & to get that working would be a great success for every person who wants to use a standard mini Keyboard or Video Game Controller for there Android Powered Devices.
Im Not sure if it would be easier to take an Android 2.1 Vibrant Stock Rom & remove the Samsung BT 3.0 Stack & Replace it with the Standard Stock Android 2.1 Bluez BT Stack OR Would it be easier to take an Android 2.2 Samsung TouchWiz Euro Froyo JPK Build BT Stack with HID Profile already working & Port there Apks & Scripts to the Froyo JP3 Builds that Eugene & Sombionix are mastering & get the HID pairing working that way.
Most Androids with 2.1 already have this feature but we DONT HAVE IT! Due to greedy Samsung's Bloated Phat Ass, Plump Ass! Super Bloatware TouchWiz/Iphone Over Skin that surrounds are stock Android Interface (UI). The Divx.apk & Media Hub are the only good bloatware on the Vibrant.
So hopefully we can somehow come to a solution right here in XDA's Development Center.
I have posted the US Froyo BlueTooth 3.0 Stock ApKs here can someone please
post the EU Froyo JPK Build BT Stack Apks so I can start some Amutuar Rudementary Non Developer Testing that will surely leave me spitting up on myself, braindead in a grave..........
I hope this wont be as complicated as getting the Android 2.1 EU FM Radio to work on a Android 2.1 US Rom.....
WITH THE FROYO SOURCE CODE FINALLY!!!! RELEASED WE CAN FINALLY GET THINGS POPPIN! HOPEFULLY THE THE SOURCE CODE WILL MAKE THE HID TRANSITION 10 TIMES EASIER OR EVEN BETTER; THE NEW US FROYO VERSION THAT WILL BE RELEASED REAL SOON WILL ALREADY SUPPORT THE BT HID PROFILE FOR EXTERNAL MOUSES, KEYBOARDS & CONTROLLERS
THIS WILL IN THE NEXT YEAR IN 2011 BECOME JUST AS POPULAR AS THE "A2DP" BT PROFILE.

I posted a think tank on this, I read on the i9000 forums that even with hid support the bluez stack is still missing and the wiimote still doesn't work
Wow!! Can u please post where u read that if u can....if u cant than thats fine ....its not nessisary.
If this is true than we have to leave samsung's 3.0 bluetooth out of the picture all together. We just have to replace the entire bluetooth 3.0 samsung stack with the old original stock android 2.1 "bluez" bluetooth stack so there will be no problems. I hope cm 6.1 vibrant will have the 2.1 and not 3.0......3.0 is simply just to new!! And nobody is really using any bluetooth 3.0 or 4.0 profiles yet...
This looks very interesting as I would love to use my WII remote or PS3 controller. Another issue that I've seen with the 3.0 Bluetooth Stack is low sound quality for A2DP. If we can revert back to 2.1 maybe my BT FM transmitter won't output 1950's record quality.

gah i cant remember which thread it was =/
Im sure CM6 will use the 2.1 bluez stack because they always have even with sense phones. I dont know how easy it is to replace a bluetooth stack, im more of a graphics and file pushing oriented kinda guy, code isnt exactly my forte lol, which is why i made that think tank thread but i havent seen anyone very experiences chime in about how it can be done.
yeah i definately feel that CM 6.1 Vibrant will have the orginal Bluez Bluetooth 2.1 Profile.
But the HTC Sense i believe was using a different stack but it was still 2.1 but samsungs is 3.0 so the developers might wanna keep 3.0. i guess its up to how bad the developers want HID support over 3.0 quality but it is true that 3.0 has less static & break ups but no clear sound or faster file transfers unless the other device that your syncing to is also 3.0 compliant
Is there an open source wiimote syncing app?
Whatz up AnderDroid....im not sure if the avaiable Apps are Open Source....but im sure the some of the programers wouldnt mind helping ouit on a Galaxy S Mod if a developers trying to build one.
Here are the WiiMote Apps/ Contact then through email & ask. They All reply to Questions:
Wiimote Controller [[email protected]]
Wii Controller IME [[email protected]]
RWiiMote & SimpleWiiController [[email protected]]
Someone with a bluetooth backround should really create an open source wii remote app but everybody wants money soooo.......yeah thats the world. I think most creative developers are very generous & giving ......
There will be a resoultion to this wii mote Keyboard & mouse HID problem very very soon. I can feel it...plus CM 6.1 is on its way super fast now that samsung releasd the open source code......
i have faith in you guys... i will wait patiently for the developments... i went and bought a wii mote today in anticipation to the breakthrough...
i really highly doubt its this easy but if we just took the same files listed in the OP from say a Nexus One and just copy pasted those files over the existing ones in the system folder, would that effectively replace the bluetooth stack..maybe im just dreaming and overly hopeful about that, but i have no idea how the bluetooth stack is integrated, im sure it would need some code editing, idk if its deep in the framework or in the kernel or a different place completely, i wish someone with development knowledge could chime in on this.

Bump!
So any way to shoehorn this without having to run CM6?
When is this going to be ready? I'm asking for it for months!

The wiimote works on cm6beta3. I used it for a day and played some super Mario bros. In the end I went back to nero though... having the wiimote work wasn't worth the bugs... It does need to be a phone after all...
The bluetooth stack is in the framework, and its not a matter of just cutting and pasting it from another build... froyo source will be needed.
Yes, bt hid is there in sams bt stack but the wiimote isn't just bthid

2.2 keyboard on 2.1

Hi, I'm wondering if any of you gotten the android 2.2 keyboard to work on the hero with 2.1 installed. I am mostly interested in this because I want to use the microphone for speech to text...thanks for any information you have! (I currently also have an Evo and the speech to text works like a charm, save a lot of time.)

configure Bluetooth keyboard?

Hi all,
I am trying to connect an apple wireless keyboard to my sgs running ICS with a slim rom. The pairing goes well and I can use the keyboard to type in the phone.
However I can not find the way to configure the keyboard to change the regional settings and language. As my keyboard is in Spanish most of the letters do not match.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance?

Generic BT keyboard connects but no input

ISSUE: Generic Bluetooth keyboard connects to Android (CM 9 with nightly build), but I do not get input from the keyboard at all.
I have viewed some of the threads already on this issue, but with no luck I haven't really found a solution. Someone suggested to use the terminal to connect it, but I really have no idea on how to do that.
I have also looked at "Easy Bluetooth keyboard connect" or something like that and I haven't really gotten that to work either, well it didn't really recognize the keyboard.
Any suggestions would be great.
I have the exact same issue with my generic keyboard. I used BlueKeyboard JP but that is a clunky solution. I tried the keyboard on cm9 on my phone and it worked fine. Does the official HP keyboard work different is there a way to fix this?
are you checking the keyboard settings in the "language & Input" part of the settings menu?

Yes, it is not showing up. The only thing that shows up is the default keyboard and the google voice one. None relating to the but keyboard at all.
If you mean the Input device profile under the bluetooth settings then yes I have that checked. But there is still no input.

I have had no luck with the bluetooth keyboard or CM9. It works on my phone running 2.3 and on CM7 for the touch pad. I also had a dell streak 7 with honey comb and that did even work with the bluetooth keyboard.
Yup, me, too..
I'm having the same issue.
'rm-rf /data/misc/bluetoothd/*' and a BT on/off, then re-pair resulted in no change, btw. :/

Bluetooth Keyboard not typing on CM12.1 or the new 7.1.1 image.

I got a new Bluetooth keyboard and it will connect on both images, but I cant type on anything. It doesn't do anything when typing. I tried it on my phone with 6.0.1 and it works with no problem. I also tried to the Bluetooth keyboard fix app for 4.3 and up with the same results. I've look look through the threads and I cant find a similar issue.
Thank You
Update
I found an image which lets the keyboard work. A different user had similar problems and he refers to apple keyboard support been added to that image for the keyboard to work. I'm assuming that on the rest of the roms apple keyboard is not supported since I can connect my keyboard, but I cant type anything. Under Language & Input its registered as a Broadcom Bluetooth HID on this image.
This is the keyboard I'm using
Anker Bluetooth Ultra Slim-Keyboard
This is the rom that I'm currently using.
cm-10.1-20130712-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc.zip
I first tried this image and it didn't work
cm-10.1.3-ovation_OC6
I have tried CM 12.1, 6.0.1 and the new 7.1.1 image with the same results as well.
