bluetooth obex

What can I do with bluetooth obex?
Anyone else not able to search xda using the stock g1 browser?
with bluetooth obex you can send and receive files via bluetooth as long as both devices are rooted.
both devices have to be rooted? Perhaps I am reading into that too much but you can't mean we can only share with other android phones right?
I saw it says bluetooth FTP... which made me wonder if I was missing something, like if I could do stuff with my computer remotely. What is the significance of FTP on this apps name *when you open it*.
Sorry, would be nice if you could search on here using the G1s browser.
Bluetooth File Transfer Protocol meaning its a program used to transfer files over the Bluetooth Frequency.
so it is android to android only then?

Nope, I connected to my iMac. It can share with any other device that has the bluetooth file sharing enabled/available.

connected to my friends nokia 6265i ... its a regular phone not a smartphone .. was able to view his files and everything ... loving the new bluetooth app
ok so then how do you enable the file sharing etc on android ? I was trying to test with a friend of mine who has an android, and was unable to find the setting any ideas? thanks!
Yeah, my buddy has an iPhuckinsuck, we let our phones become available, we scanned, we paired, but then we could not connect, even after I entered the correct PIN for his phone.
Perhaps I just don't know how to connect, but I have yet to connect with a phone correctly. Same scenario with my wife's BB. Could not connect.

[Q] Working PS3 controller app for SlimBean?

I am currently running SlimBean 4.2.2, build JDQ39E.
Been trying unsuccessfully to sync my PS3's wireless controller to my phone, and none of the apps I have tried have worked.
Does anyone know one that does, or if there is another ROM that supports PS3 controllers, specifically?
Thanks for any assistance.

Its not the ROM I believe the phones hardware is not supportive.
I thought that MIGHT be the case, too, but I figured if anyone knew a workaround, it would be this community. I can get it to recognize my PS3 controller, but it refuses to sync.
I'd think that as long as it accepted any old Bluetooth connection, that I should be able to sync almost any Bluetooth device. Meh.

DS4 (PS4 controller) problem

I use Redmi 4x with Lineage OS 15.1. My controller used to connect both via BT and OTG normally, but recently, even though it connects normally, both ways, it doesn't send any kind of feedback, neither in apps or out of them. Anyone else has the same issue ? The controller works normally on other phones I tried to connect it. Any help with the matter is appreciated.
Try removing it from Bluetooth paired devices and pair again maybe that'll help.

Experience with AA Mirror on XZ1 Compact?

Hello,
I am asking if someone have some experience with AA Mirror (MirrorLink for not officially supported phones) on XZ1 Compact.
I am basically asking if someone have tried it, if it works or works reliable or not. Usage will be simple only for GPS navigation - Sygic. Nothing more.
Reason is that to get AA Mirror on XZ1 Compact i need to root and unlock bootloader on quite a new phone, that still have about 14 months of remaining warranty period. So I would like to know if its worth of it.
Any info will be appreciated!
I'd like to know this, too. I was going to get a MirrorLink screen this week until I realized this phone probably doesn't support it natively...anyway, does AA Mirror do anything non-rooted?

I havent tried it, but since it needs low level USB access, I am sure it wont do anything, maybe not even install.
Problem is that MirrorLink support is really weak. Sony does not support it at all, and e. g. Samsung only on flagship models.
I still guess that I have to try it, not really appreciate it. I hoped that this forum section is more alive.
I have been using AA Mirror daily for the past 3 months. About one or two times a week the connection to Android auto is lost and I have to replug the phone in, or my car stops responding to touch response. This usually doesn't happen when I use regular AA apps. That's about the only issue I have and I haven't tried changing settings to fix it because it doesn't happen too often, everything works well enough for me to keep using it.
Edit: I'm actually using AAStream, a version that should fix some bugs

All on XZ1 Compact? That s really cool to hear!
Were there any special steps for getting it work ? Except of root of course.
Ok, I just realized that this isn't actually MirrorLink. It's just outputs Android Auto, not MirrorLink. OP, you got my hopes up for nothing...
Anyway, my searching indicates that non-rooted AA Mirror kind of works for mirroring only. The touch input doesn't, so you have to do it via the phone screen.

I know that. As far as I searched, for full and true MirrorLink you need to have manufacturer support out of the box. No one actually figured how to implement this on other phones. I guess that it requires custom kernel module or something closed source.
AA Mirror or AA Stream is sort of solution for other phones, but it works as screen mirroring utility only (you have to control everything from phone, not from car). I really dont mind, especially for GPS I always set up destination or changing it while not driving. So basic screen mirror is enough.
I already installed AA Stream / AA mirror and it really requires root. Without it doesnt work, which I have expected.

Yes all on XZ1 compact. And no special steps, but have to add I'm on the LineageOS rom. Just never have been able to get Netflix working as they block screen output to another screen, but that's a different issue. It's not perfect, but it's the easiest thing I have been able to do after rooting my phone. I have way more issues with banking or McDonald's apps than with AA Stream Still worth it though. In fact so worth it I refused a free iPhone from work as I rather keep my compact for these 'features'
So I just got a car radio that supports mirroring over both USB debugging and MirrorLink and it works perfectly without root! Including touch input via the car's screen. The radio says MirrorLink ("P-Link"), but I assume it's doing it through USB debugging. Which makes sense, since that's the same way most Android remoting programs work on PC. I haven't tested the audio but I assume that works, too. It has a huge 7 inch screen and was pretty cheap, so it'll be perfect for navigation.

Thank you very much. this is really helpfull !!
I am also considering LineageOS 16.0 RC6, because if I understand properly, that if you dont backup DRM keys you will loose official Camera and other functionalities after root.

Lucky you!
But this will probably not work on stock car display unit (like original 7" Toyota system) which almost all supports MirrorLink only. I will try it You have some additional app for that? Or just checked Dev. options on and all OK?
No additional app. Just USB debugging enabled.

Question Android Auto issues

has anyone encounterd problems connecting to Android Auto?
My Zenfone 8 seems to flip out when I connect it to my HU, flipping through connection modes and only sometimes "setteling" on being able to connect to the HU.
This HU and cable work great with other phones.
Thanks

If I understand you correctly, yes, I get the same problem. At first I thought it was a cable problem - the phone kept connecting, disconnecting, connecting again a s o. Then I realized it's a problem with the phone entering AA mode, then leaving, then back... If I play with the cable, it settles indeed.
yes, thank you. exactly like that
