Hey all, really amazed how fast Android is moving now on our HD2s. Any one hear about the possibility of the Multi touch keyboard from the Droid 2 getting ported over? I've read that they're starting to get it for the Droid X & Incredible, so thought I'd ask. I use Swype religiously and I'm really happy with it, but I'm kinda intrigued with the multi touch idea since the main reason I don't like a stock keyboard is that they're never fast enough for me and this is supposed to solve that. Any ideas?
Search the development thread I remember seeing something there a couple days ago..... It had to be pushed though..

Greetings fellow Droid Incredible users. I am interested in getting some information on the possibility of us modifying the bluetooth specifically in the Sense version Roms. The reason for this inquiry is I have noticed that wiimote works with Cyanogenmod on my droid incredible confirmed today in testing. It does not on the 2.2 Froyo Sense version. I'd like to keep sense and stock but have the full bluetooth capabilities of Cyanogen. I know this is a specific issue and that loading a non HTC sense rom is a work around. How hard would this be to do? Is it even possible?
thanks for your time and happy modding. Have to say these roms are a blessing.
Might I suggest the 3.21.605.1 RUU leak?
Some people are having doubts as this will be the offial OTA to be released tomorrow, but it is, says the same software verison on the Verizon page.
Bluetooth working peachy for me!
I tried the wiimote. No dice. Cook something up and I will be grateful.

Bluetooth works but doesn't fully support all the things it should like HID and SPP profiles. It's clear there is a difference in the bluetooth packages and I don't understand why.

Well since we are going THAT far lol, I know on HTC's dev website there is the 2.2 Bluez driver that you can take a look at if you have any development background.
http://developer.htc.com
HTC Incredible BlueZ Source Code (Froyo MR)
I wouldn't even know where to begin as far as that goes, hope that points you in the right direction.
I appreciate the responses guys. Keep them coming. I will be looking into a possible mod with the latest leak but a modified bluetooth stack to resemble/replicate the full functionality of the Cyanogen mod bluetooth on the Droid Incredible.
This potentially could add more functionality to bluetooth:
Connection to more bluetooth keyboards and other devices
wiimote functionality for emulators
other applications.
Bluetooth SPP and HID profiles are often used in many car types including BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagon, etc. Some people have been posting on the HTC site that they have lots of issues with bluetooth staying paired or even not pairing at all.
I believe we are working with a pre 2.1 Eclair bluetooth stack that HTC never bothered to update. Perhaps this breaks the Sense UI and they don't want to do the coding work for it work. I will continue to look for some answers.
My understanding is that there is something in Sense that does not get along with newer stacks.
Well how does the Cyanogenmod rom get the bluetooth stack working? Is it a simple file replacement or something complicated?
By not using sense. Something in the UI causes the broken bluetooth with the wiimotes.

This is what I am curious about as well.

I'm cheerfully bumping this thread. I do no want a wiimote on my Dinc (rooted with leaked 2.2 ROM), but I do have a dire need to support Bluetooth mouse and keyboard on my Dinc.
I do appreciate sense and I have applied cyanogen on my wife's D1.. which is perfect, for being on a Moto Droid..
So I'm with xarthos... i just want full BT features on my semi-stock Dinc.
on a side note... yet another reason is the fact that the BT audio quality in sense based roms sucks...
We setup cm6 on one inc, left the other with plain sense... even my wife could tell a difference in a blind listen test in the car.
almost like comparing a 64khz mp3 to a cd... massive sound quality difference.
Xarthos,
I hear many conflicting stories on htc bluetooth.
I understand htc has an incomplete broadcom chipset bluetooth stack in some models like the incredible. But this doesn't make sense since cm6 supports bluetooth just fine.
I can't really give you any useful help.
--But I do have $25 or more for the solution you describe.. Sense with bluetooth.

This has been a consistant test for me as I jump around between ROMS due to the fact that I like to play my DINC emulators with a WiiMote (Yes, I'm nerdy enough to carry one in my backback when I commute). It's been pretty consistant that all the Sense ROMS don't work while the Senseless roms do.
Confirmed working:
CM6
Ruby 1.1.0 and 1.1.1
Confirmed not working:
SR 3
Virt 2.6 & 2.7
Leaked 2.2
Stock 2.1
Not Tested:
SR3 Vanilla
Why we couldn't take the bluetooth stack from one of the working ones and put it on a Sense one, I don't know. I'm honestly not knowledgeable enough to even attempt it nor know anyone who has. I've actually a little surprised this subject isn't brought up more, I'm guessing most people either don't use bluetooth or it works enough for their needs.
BUMP!
Is anyone looking into porting/adapting the CM6 BT Stack for sense ROMS?
I tried messing around with it, but am still having problems... I have a semi-flashable zip in progress if anyone can help me figure out what to do next.
I have a small question that I seem to not be able to find the answer for....
1) games that require Multi-Touch seem to not work on my device and i am curious as to why this is, is this a hardware limitation or just something that hasn't been enabled/working yet on current android builds. I have the Droid-X keyboard installed and working so this leads me to believe that multi touch games/apps should work to.
2) I have seen the Evo and the galaxy-s that have 5 point Multi-touch and was wondering of this is something that out our devices can do.

HD2 has minimum required, 2 points
I'm having the same issue.. If multi-touch is working on some Droid builds, could somebody kindly point out which builds support it? I'm currently on MDJ's newest Froyo Sense (based on Desire) and Modern Combat: Sandstorm doesn't work too well..
We get 2 points. See MultiTouch Visualizer in market for an example.

HD2 can only support 2-point multitouch (which most builds include, I haven't had a build without it), yet HTC messed up on the drivers so it's kinda flaky sometimes.
Yeah... it takes a bit to learn how to deal with it.. but at least it works.
I am playing sandstorm without issues. (any build worked so far )
Can anyone give me the flashable gingerbread keyboard with working text prediction for a Droid 1 running CM6.1.2? Also if anyone has the newest version of the Android Market that works on a froyo Droid on CM6.1.2 I'd really appreciate it. All the links I've found are dead and 7.0.3 isn't reliable enough for me to use.
