[Q] N1 Official Car Dock with CM10.1 - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yesterday I installed CM10.1 VJ Jelly Bean 4.2.2 v5.0 for N1 and have found it to be quite stable and fast. Maybe even smoother than the ICS rom I had been using! But I can't seem to get it to pair with the car dock.
/sys/devices/virtual/switch/dock/bt_addr does populate with the dock's MAC address correctly
/sys/devices/virtual/switch/dock/state reads as 2
From what I can tell it seems it never puts the dock into a pairable state?
Does anyone know if there's a trick to getting this to work?
I found this post where someone seems to have done most of the legwork on how the automatic pairing process works http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=643610&page=3 but I can't even pair it manually since it doesn't show up in the list of available bluetooth devices.
I've verified the my bluetooth is working fine in other capacities.
Thanks!

works with my galaxy s 4 / hacks

Just tried CNA Android Version 4.1.2 and it too has no HDMI function.
Eclipse 3.1
Just tried Eclipse 3.1 (Android 4.0.4) and it seems fully functional.
Cannot post links yet. Weird because it let me before. Google it.
Until hashcode finishes his new kexec kernel, non-blur ROMs won't have any HDMI support. As such, anything requiring HDMI out (including AppRadio, which I also use) will not be usable on any ROM that isn't based off MotoBLUR until it's ready.

new to the site and did a search for app radio 2 and bionic and your post showed up as a result.
I just order the appradio 2, from what I understand from your post is that a stock bionic works fine with this appradio. Can you control apps from the appradio, gps and music files?
I was reading on other forums and watching videos and the mention this app ARLiberator but your phone has to be rooted,
My phone is not rooted yet i am trying to figure out what root i need to do first, have never rooted a phone yet.

[Q]Best JB Rom with working BT? (or alternative CM9)

Hey guys, ive been running CM9 on my touchpad for ages but want to move to a JB rom. Im going to be using my Touchpad as a media device for outdoor speakers i have in my patio so i can walk around and change music as need be (instead of having to go inside where the receiver is to change music then go back outside). I was looking for improved roms with better battery life maybe and especially working bluetooth with A2DP. Are there are any JB roms that fit the bill? Some googling turns up Jscullins roms, but i was reading he was only doing it as an experiment and figured his BT fixes would be included in more (and possibly better) roms. Something stable with decent battery life and working BT with A2DP is what im after. Any suggestions? Thanks folks.
also, if there is nothing that fits the bill what would be the best CM9 ROM that does? I have noticed that my current CM9 build has an annoying issue with the touchscreen where if im scrolling around and let go, sometimes it registers that as a tap/click. My girlfriend hates it. A smooth CM9 build with good battery life, good working A2DP BT for music streaming, touch issues fixed (which i heard of for CM9 builds so thats why i mention it), and stable would be awesome.
Well I am running JC Sullins 0808 CM10.1 (4.2.2) ROM, and this is working well with BT keyboard and mouse. I did sync it to the car for BT Audio and that worked fine on the 5-10 minutes I used it, not tested audio over BT for any longer than that.
Generally the ROM has been stable, and am happy with it. I hope his fixes make it back into the dailies/weeklies, but we'll see, been a while now.
I did a complete wipe and start again on the device to get it working, and so far very happy with 10.1. I also am starting to use BT Audio more and more, so BT is important to me.

[Q] cm11 tenderloin KitKat now 4.4.2 ?

Does the 12-12-13 update include kernel changes which are suppose to repair black box issue in default browser api ?
UPDATE: Forgive my ignorance. I now see the commits included in Milaq's CM11 KK 4.4.2 update for the TouchPad (tenderloin). And understand the devs are still working updating 3.6 kernel. So will need to live with the Kernel 2.6.35 for a while longer. But until then apps utilizing default browser api are problematic. At least Chrome and Firefox are working.
I'm running Milaq's 4.4 ROM also. Happy to run with it for now even with "black box" issues, is running incredible smooth so far. Using shortcuts to Chrome bookmarks is my workaround for Gmail etc just now, although same issue in the BBC news app (and others I'm sure
I don't have enough posts to post or reply in development forum so posting here.
On the CM11 dev thread a couple posts about audio issues. I've flashed the 12/10, 12/12 & 12/14 CM11 nightlies and have not observed/heard audio issues.
And BT and WiFi are working ok. And file transfer via USB and BT ok (although BT transfer appears slower from what I recall in CM7/CM9 or WebOS).
Haven't yet figured out how to get BT streaming (from a Windows PC) to work.
If I could get my Plantronics Backbeat 9033+ BT headset to charge correctly, I could test those with CM11 (previously I the BT headset working well in CM9 as well as WebOS). Wish I never bought this particular headset, as they hurt my ears, no matter which eartips I use. And now will not charge. (I only used a few times since purchasing late last spring). Need to look up my warranty. Sorry I digress OT.

When I stated BT was working ok, I was referring to paring the TouchPad with an HP TouchPAd Wireless Keyboard as well with a WIndows XP PC.
I was able to get the BT headset working with my WIndows PC (it was charging ok...issue was operator error). And when I search for BT devices on the TouchPad CM11) my headset displays in the device found list. But when attempting to pair the CM11 Touchpad with the headset, Bluetooth on the TouchPad turns off, and then within a few seconds BT turns back on.
Anyone able to get a BT headset working with CM11...yet?
I probably should just sit back a bit and wait for the updated kernel.

[Q] Intoduction and Q on CM 10.2 and Motorola Vehicle Dock

Greetings,
I'm new to modding but not Android. I have had android phones for since the Droid X was new. I had rooted it on froyo, but lost root with the GB OTA and didn't bother to go further. The Droid X has been retired, though I have thought of playing around with it, just because it's sitting in a drawer. Recently as my Droid 4 (my upgrade from Droid X) ages, I was motivated to get back into it and try some custom ROMs. Just by lurking and reading this and similar forums i was able to successfully Root, Safestrap, and flash to CM 10.1 stable, then on to 10.2 and 11 nightlies... Also i was able to Unlock BL, set up custom recovery, and flashed CM 11 to my Nexus 10 all without asking a single question! All is great, I love Cyanogenmod, but... The ONE thing I miss from stock is the car dock app for the official Motorola vehicle dock. Obviously that is long gone unless I want to SBF (I don't), but I am looking for a replacement app.
And here is where I am stumped... For my Droid 4, I have tried many of the dock apps on the play store (including CarHomeUltra, which I see everyone recommend) but have not found something that does what I want. I have not found an app that can launch simply by being placed in the dock, this was a nice feature of the stock Moto app. Also, the original app routed phone audio through the usb connection, where a special cable split off to an aux out plug and a standard usb charger. Since i do not have bluetooth in my car, only Aux in (which I hacked into my stock radio), I am looking for an app that can route the audio through USB correctly. Since this is so device/accessory specific, I have a feeling that such an app probably does not exist? I guess I am wondering if the Motorola Vehicle mode APK is available so I can sideload it... For now I am using bluetooth headphones in the car, but that is not ideal especially when I have passengers. As a workaround, I have also looked at Bluetooth to Aux out adapters, but if I can get free software to fix the issue, that would be preferable.
So, long question short, for those running custom ROMs on Droid 4, what are you using for a car dock?
TIA
Droid 4 Rooted, Safestrap, triple boot: Stock 4.1.2, CM 10.2 RC, CM 11 Nightly (4.4.2)

Nexus 7 (2012) Stock 4.4 (kids' tablet)
I too am running into the same problem you are. I have two vehicles setup with cradles I just drop my phone in and play pandora , no hooking into the headphone jack. It sucks none of the kitkat roms or jellybean mods with the exception of myfishbear's eclipse rom can support the dock. I have been running this rom for about the last year and it recognizes when you dock the phone. I have been doing a lot of experiments with copying files such as carhome.apk or carhomegoogle.apk. It seems the APK launches the car cradle program , but there is some other file either a library or another file that detects the dock. I removed all the carcradle apks and dock apks in the eclipse rom to see if it would kill the ability to detect the dock, but when i plug it into the dock it orients the screen to landscape and the audio still plays through USB like it is supposed to. I really would like to transition to 4.4.2 but until someone can figure out the dock situation I am going to be keeping eclipse for a while.

I haven't heard of that ROM, it's JB? How does it compare to CM?

I played around with this too, but didn't really get anywhere. Unless I was reading old news, I think that the carhomegoogle was recently put up on the play store but doesn't support any devices? With all the new google apps hitting the play store, it looks to me like google is trying to fight fragmentation by pulling some system apps out of the OS and make them able to update independently... Maybe carhomegoogle being on the play store hints at an upcoming update? At least that's what I'm hoping for...
Just to close this out and update where I ended up with this. After playing around with ROMs on my manta and maserati and learning some more, I've got it worked out pretty comfortably. Once the power cord portion of the proprietary cable gave up the fight, I broke down and bought a Bluetooth to aux adapter and I can still charge in the dock with a standard cord. I'm not using a car home app at all anymore. Instead I've setup the first home screen to the right as a car home with dialer and hangouts in the (other) dock. I'm finding Waze fun so I just launch from my homescreen. I use the stock clock/weather and the Pandora widget. That really fills all my needs driving. Now my totally custom car home is just a flick away.
As far as rotation... I found two apps on the play store, Ultimate Rotation Control and Rotation Locker with some help from G+ communities. UCR lets me switch between auto and forced auto manually with a widget or in the notification shade. Rotation Locker can force rotation and has a plug in for tasker. I'm close to where I want to be, but I really want global auto and forced rotation automatically triggered when my phone is docked. I don't have the time to invest in learning tasker right now. But I plan on using the Bluetooth and charging triggers to change the setting in these apps or maybe I can find something in frameworks? Either way, I gotta be strict with my time, I'm getting a little obsessed here. If I do figure that out I'll edit this post.
Anyway, maybe that will help somebody some day.

I'm sorry to hear there isn't really a good option for continuing to use my car dock's usb audio feature in any of the ROMs I want to use... Hopefully one day :-/
Going to take a quick look at myfishbear's eclipse rom but I'm not going to expect much :-/

Bluetooth issue

Hi all,
The headphone port on my TP is broken and I'm on CM 10.1 Snapshot which wouldn't work with my bluetooth headphones, I could pair them but when I wanted to use them with Netflix or YouTube the sound kept coming out of the speakers even though the "media audio" option was ticked . I did a full uninstall of Android installed Evervolv AOSP Android 4.3.1 JB (20140129) and had exactly the same problem with that ROM. I know the headset works fine as I have it paired and working perfectly with my Samsung Note II.
I can keep trying different ROMs and versions of ROM's but I'm hoping someone here can tell me which of the (relatively) stable ROMS works best with Bluetooth?
Cheers,
Ben
