I will pay for the development if someone can get bluetooth HID drivers working for the Verizon version of the GT. I have an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard I desperately need to work with the Tab. This can be my lightweight emergency station to handle different servers if I had a keyboard to type with.
Thanks!
TekSoft (BlueInput) has been talking about adding a fuller Bluetooth stack to thier keyboard driver to help all of the android devices that don't include the full HID (Droid incredible, VZW Samsung Galaxy Tab). It sounds like they are trying to have something in February. teksoftco.com

Great! Though I still need something a bit more definite and sooner.
Any reason why taking the drivers from a Tmo one and putting them on a Verizon one wouldnt work?
Do they use different bluetooth chipsets?
I saw a tear down of a tab somewhere online I need to find again but a lot of wireless chipsets these days are integrated. Cdma wifi gps and bluetooth are often found in the same piece of hardware. This means we may have very different hardware from our gsm friends. This is to handle issues such as TDMA between bluetooth and wifi and other interferences.

Dang. No coders up for this challenge?

I believe on Tab in Samsung's ROM the Bluetooth keyboard support is in IME app.
For my CM6 build i had to enable BT HID in the kernel. Maybe if someone is building VZW tab kernels+initram fs they can try enabling BT HID in the kernel.
I'll check it out if I have some time this week. It *shouldn't* be hard to enable. No promises or anything though.

For sure. I would much ratherhave my options on BT keyboards over the silly Samsung dock.
there is a keyboard that works with the Tab but it's not BT. I picked it up from the Verizon store and love it. Can even hook up speakers if I want.
I compiled the kernel with bluetooth HID included, no idea how to installbit though and am afraid to make a brick.
Any suggestions.

You can't brick it by just replacing the kernel. Worst case scenario you'd need to reflash the rom.
I am still running stock.
How would I go about replacing the kernel?
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App
Did anybody get anywhere with this? I am still willing to donate to get these to work!
I still have the compile kernel, but no Idea how to flash it, I have not found anything on how to flash just a kernel to only the boot partition. I do not want to touch the recovery partition just in case it does not work.
I have no problem with programming stuff, I am just very new to the rom area and want to be safe
It needs to be a zImage, then flash it through Heimdall
I have a zimage....can you give me a little tutorial on Heimdall....never used it. If you will, i will try my kernal....otherwise, I would be happy to upload the kernel here and let someone who knows how try it on thiers
Also, what about signing....does the zimage need signing or do I need some change to allow it to run unsigned?
Amazing to see that people are working on this HORRIFIC issue. I am also willing to donate a bit of cash to get this one working
Thanks for working on this guys! This is HUGE for us wanting to replace their laptop with the Verizon GT.

Damn you beat me to it.
Going to try it out when I leave for school this afternoon, but if this is indeed true, I will be beyond furious. The navigation mount's BOX says that when FroYo is released for the Epic, the audio jack will become functional. WTF

I just tried the car_cradle_patch.zip on my phone using CWM, and it put the phone into super slow motion mode when I restarted. I can't do anything, it takes MINUTES for anything to respond. Looks like I'll have to be wiping my phone again.
tw_car_dock.zip added a "car cradle" application, but the music player didn't play out of the line out on the car or desktop docks.
It was built for the Fascinate. Someone would probably have to mod their mod to get it working correctly on the Epic. Try putting a request out there and see if any devs bite. Might take a few days for someone to get to it because I am sure they are working on updating ROMs, etc.
I pulled apart the original and the modded version that were posted and there is literally one line different between the two (assuming I did it right, and I think I did). If it isn't working properly on our phones it's likely something to do with difference between our phone and the Fascinate/standard Galaxy S. Might help if we can get a logcat dump from the phone while the app is doing it's thing.

Sound like it is as simple as changing the audio channel its using. Maybe there is one not listed in the UI that is the usb audio out?
Audio is working with the fascinate mod.
I used cwm earlier today.Just make sure to place the zip in the root of your micro sd card and boot into cwm then select and flash.It is working perfectly with no force quits or lag after a reboot. Are you using the aosp music player patch or samsung music player patch? He has 2 different versions up. The aosp music player patch is the one i was able to use with no errors or lag.If you are using the samsung music player patch that will not work.
So I bought two docks home and car that said it would work with 2.2
Big surprise.......it doesn't. Awesome samsung.
I just spent 2 days dishwasher shopping. spent 800 bucks. guess who was off my list before I even LOOKED at them! That's right, samsung, you didn't even get on the list to start for reasons exactly like this.
Bump for y'all to see rpro95's post.
@ J3ff, if you have nothing constructive to say just hold off on posting as it looks like there are a couple of people in here who are willing to try and get this working or help the Epic users get it working/troubleshoot. I think most people in here are tired of the anti-samsung semantics.
I do not have the dock, but I am just trying to be helpful in this thread by tossing ideas out there. It seems like this is something that, in time, the community should be able to get working.
car dock AOSP audio out fix for music only.
This might work on the home dock as well.test it. I don't have a home dock.I know it works for my car dock.
If you need to have your tunes playing from your car dock do this.It will not work for third party apps.Only for the AOSP music player.You will get a prompt when you dock.Just select and you will get screen showing your dock icons for
phone:Music:Maps and voice search.
1. Need to have cwm to flash this.
2.download the patch from here on xda developers Adrynaylyne mod thread for the fascinate. http://adrynalyne.us/files/patches/car_cradle_patch.zip
3. Put on your SD card. I put mine in root.This worked for me.
4.Boot into cwm. Select zip and enjoy music on your epic through your cars speakers.This might work on the home dock as well.test it. I don't have a home dock.

Hey guys, I'm new to the streak and mine should be arriving either today or tomorrow. I ordered the official home dock for it as well and was wondering if it supports full mirroring via the hdmi out port on the dock or if there is anyway to enable this feature through an app or custom ROM? I'm no newbie to flashing roms and such, but havent really found any clear answers on whether the streak can mirror displays on 2.2 or what eactly it can display through the dock and hdmi output.
Thanks for the responses!
hdmi out only mirrors certian apps, i think it's media players and music players.
Most things arnt mirrored by default.
This is an (intentional) software limitation, it could be removed but noone's gone and done that yet (afaik)
you can try apps that fixes this for other phones, but i dont know if it'll work on the streak

I have a background in programming as well and also was very active in development for the original sony psp so maybe I'll be able to help with things
the streak only has 1 real developer which is dj_steve (i'm not counting theme developers or app developers, only rom developers)
pretty much anything you can bring to the table would likely be helpful, if you think you wanna try your hand at the streak you should talk to steve on #dellstreak

Now that we know that 4.5.91 is the "official" gingerbread build for the Atrix, I thought it might be helpful to have a thread where we can list things that we feel could be tweaked/improved on the ROM.
I'm not sure if anyone will find this thread helpful, but it it does go anywhere, I'd like to point out on this OP that the idea of this thread is NOT to report bugs in the stock, or any particular custom ROM, nor would I like to see it become a place to post generalized complaints such as "My battery life isn't as good as it should be."
What I am hoping to accomplish here is to list specific things that could be better, or where functionality could be added, in the hopes that some of the Devs around here, if they agree of course, will decide to pick up some of the ideas and make them happen. They could do it in future releases of their own ROMs, or as individual flashable ZIPs, or even just instructions on how to make a tweak. The choice is theirs, and I'd like to thank them in advance!
Now that Official GB is out, I'd like threads like this in the correct section.
I know it's somewhat poor form to reply to one's on thread, but here's another post to start off a list with two small items.
1.
I think it would be great if the dialer AND address book would rotate to landscape orientation. I use the stock Google Car Home app with my phone mounted sideways in the car, and if you click on contacts, or dial someone, the address book, contact pages, and dialer all remain portrait.
I'm not sure how it behaves if you actually have the motorola car dock (I'm just using the universal one), but I have tested launching the motorola car dock application, and when I launch the above, it's a little bit better, but still not right. If you launch contacts from the motorola car dock app, the contacts list does display in landscape mode, but when you dial someone, the dialer is still portrait. Again, that may be different if the phone is actually docked. I am not sure.
2.
I think the consensus out there seems to be that everyone thinks the CRT shut screen lock animation is cool. But I think I also speak for a lot of other people when I say that I don't use it because in order to have it, you have to turn on "all animations". It seems that "all" or "none" are the only options, and I find that the rest of the animations give the phone an unnecessarily clunky feel.
I'd like to see the ability to have the animations off, but still have the CRT animation. Doesn't really matter how this one is implemented. This is covered somewhat in an old thread (for the HK leaked ROM), but I am including it here again just to add it to the list and for testing on the AT&T ROM.
Thanks!

No problems here. I guess I just thought that it would work here since it was sort of a request thread for developers and development.
If it belongs somewhere else and a Mod wishes to move it, I have no objections. Please accept my apologies.
This should be moved to General. Also I would probably take the word "gripe" out of the title. It has a negative connotation to it, and the tone of the OP wasn't what I was expecting after reading the subject.

Well technically froyo was "dual core optimized" not really dual core compatible that's why our quadrant scores were so crappy. I can say though with 2.3.4 I am getting a consistent 700 more than I was on 2.2.2 (used to get roughly 2600 am not getting about 3100)

I use JB on my SGS3, not much difference from ICS
Still I would like to have JB on my tab, so I flashed a CM10 based ROM, if on one hand it was easier to have status bar on top, like the phone, I didnt like the large soft buttons, they use too much screen space
So I stay in ICS until there is a Samsung leak

Does JB force the 'desktop' to be portrait mode, or is that only a Nexus 7 'thing'?
I usually use my Tab in portrait anyway (it seems more natural with the ~7" form factor) but I'd prefer to have the desktop orient to whichever way I happened to be holding the tablet when I exit an application.

If you change your DPI to 160 (the original value for the 7.7), CM10 goes back to Tablet mode (the default is 213 DPI, whih gives you the "phablet" mode introduced by the Nexus 7). I'm using it in this configuration for a long time now.

[RANT]I don't understand people who use a forum called xda DEVELOPERS and have an anti-development attitude. "This has lots of bugs and will never work", "they will never fix it", "Samsung knows it best", etc. We have a single developer for CM9 and CM10, who has bricked his own device irrecoverably, then got a new one to keep developing. Will there be bugs? Of course. Just like Samsung's ICS has bugs. But the developers for CM actually do listen to users, and try to fix whatever issue you may have (which is more than I can say about Samsung, since they introduce new bugs, like our WiFi on ICS, or even add a bricking option to an unbrickable phone, like the Galaxy S2 from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4).
If you don't support the active development being made by our fine members, you may find other forums where you won't even see that option. And where your comments won't be offensive to people who are doing their best to make your device more usable.[/RANT]

I used CM on my SGS1 and SGS2 until we got ICS, wich is good enough not to need CM, any way, I dont think it is necessary to play with DPI and processor speed, never did it...
I've tried a handful of custom roms too. And I'd say KUDOS to all the Devs for their hardwork. But I'm still finding myself going back to stock ICS. Specially now that I've updated mine to the official ICS for my Tab's country/region.
With JB update, I'm still positive we'll be getting it.
