[Q]Bluetooth 4.0 (Software or Hardware) - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know this phone has hardware support for BT 4.0, but does it need software (Android 4.3+) to activate it, or does it only need the hardware built in to support BT 4.0 devices?
I am asking cause I want to buy a BLE device, but if Android 4.2 can't utilize it then no point in getting it.

No its already there. LG and Samsung have added it to 4.2.2 without Google.

Multiscreen GT2 7.0 ?

I've seen Galaxy Note 10.1, the multi screen was good. Is that possible for GT 2 7.0?
I haven't use any ROM yet. Just stock 4.0.4.

As i know till now not possible may be somewhat difficult as processor of tab2 less than note10 wish in the future

Its possible, maybe itll come.

If that matter related to hardware limitation maybe you're right. It's not possible.
Actually, our device already run multitask, but can't show that side by side display.
Except when using the mini apps on the lower nav bar.
This will be great if some devs out there take this challenge and bring something new for the device.
Make this happen.

You wouldn't want such a lousy implemented proprietary feature that only works with proprietary Samsung apps.
There is a company who is working on this http://www.onskreen.com/cornerstone/ and they are open source and releasing source code for developers to work on. I am not so good in compiling from source, any dev out that to take the challenge?

[Q] IR Blaster on AOSP ROM

I was wondering if anyone has had any luck getting the IR blaster to work on a AOSP ROM'S. Has anyone tested Peel Smart Remote on one, or possibly managed to get a WatchOn apk and get that working on AOSP? Having the IR blaster is the only thing keeping me on TouchWiz at the moment since my TV remote's power button is fried, but I would really like to get TouchWiz off.
Download smart remote from the play store. It works very well.

The $10 one that specifies gs4? And that is confirmed to work on AOSP ROMS?
I don't think it will work. Asop roms delete pretty much ALL added features to the phone. Someone would have to get the apps from TW and see if they work on it. I'm not sure which system app you would need. If I knew which system apps I needed I would test it for you. I have the smart remote for g s4 app

Im gonna try some roms out today. I'll let u know what I find with the ir stuff. I had the s3 and the ir is the main reason I upgraded. That and the battery.

@kyhassen: Yeah, that's just about what I thought. I'm sure if someone dug through TW enough that whatever code is needed for it to work would be found. Could even be something as simple as a call method to find the hardware that gets passed along to whatever app the user is using, which could then be ported into an AOSP to keep that working..
@Mahapederdon: Thanks, please do keep me in the loop if you find something

Yeah keep us up to date on what you find!
The IR code is proprietary. Meaning it is unlikely the needed code will be released any time soon. Its possible someone may reverse engineer the drivers one day, or the code will "open" so all hope is not lost.
Try to back up the apk from stock through Titanium backup and restore it on your favorite aosp rom and see if it works.

Has anyone tried that?
I just did on slim bean it installs and opens but it won't work as a remote I think aosp doesn't have the s4's or drivers.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
Ok, so then it looks like someone needs to either reverse engineer the drivers, or talk Samsung into releasing them.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
And I just asked Samsung about that, and they basically said no. Anyone know anyone who may be able to reverse engineer it?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
So I'm guessing that smart remote won't work.
GS4 on Slim bean and CarbonROM
Hardware support is missing at the kernel level, .apks won't fix it.
It seems to be fully functional on the Google Experience S4 and also CyanogenMod nightlies according to users and reviewers.

Yea, I can confirm it works on the Google Experience S4 rom running on my SPH-L720, tried it out just recently using the WatchON app.
Same here then I tried it on CM 10.1 latest nightly and it didn't work on that but it worked on the Google edition rom.

ROM with AVCRP 1.3 support

I am looking for a ROM that supports AVCRP 1.3 or newer and/or bluetooth MAP. I am trying to get my phone to work with my cars (Honda) I-MID system to receive text messages. Right now I can read texts in car but do not receive notification. Any help is appreciated.

Do you HAVE to use this root? I am not familiar with the Android stuff. I mean, I have done it before, but that was years ago. I am seeing posts from people that have rooted with some other files I think.
I am looking for a clean KitKat os... I guess I want the same one Google would push out to a Nexus. Is this what that is?

Installing custom ROMs will change your 'OS' on the device. Rooting allows certain root apps to have elevated privileges. If your goal is to have the official Kitkat 4.4 release, you'll have to wait for LG to release it as an update.
What exactly are you looking for in 4.4 other than the version number? LG has done a pretty good job of enhancing the stock Android interface.

Thank you for that explaination.
I am looking for the improved Google Now "OK Google" functionality. Improved Maps functionality, etc. I guess you wouldn't get that from a custom ROM. I do like the UI that LG provides. They did do a great job.
Also would have liked to get the game OFF that my provider put on it (can't uninstall it). They also have some Remote Control app on it that I can't uninstall as well. Guess I'll just wait for an official KitKat update.

The Google Now voice commands are also available on the LG and they also added LGs own voice assistant Called Genie. Try swiping up from the bottom middle of the screen and you'll see LGs voice assistance available to the left. You can select what keyword wakes it up like "LG Mobile" or "Hello Genie".
The new maps are available from the Play store in addition to other new Google functions. They appear to be separating these updated apps into downloadable add-ons that can be installed on most other devices.
I know 4.4 can't turn off Bluetooth in voice commands buy thanks to LG I can on 4.2.2

I've tried that genie function and google now. The genie app is not very functional. Neither is google now. They don't function well, which i thought they improved with kitkat.
Thanks for all the guidence. I appreciate the time you've taken to address my questions. I'll either wait or swap the phone for a nexus.

It won't be much different on a Nexus 5. I own the Nexus 5 as well and I much prefer the G2. Better camera, larger battery, UI, knock on, rear buttons, etc.

Until voice recognition becomes seamless and closer to 100% accurate it will remain mostly a gimmick. It's OK to play with for 10 minutes but currently isn't ready for most user's primary device control (both Siri and GV).
