Title: AirpadXL ICS with Bluetooth

I have tested my cheapo bluetooth dongle with 2 cell phones and a wii contoller and it seems to be working. Could someone test bluetooth audio devices? headsets etc.
USB GPS dongles should work also but I have no way to test it.

I am downloading it again, it died the first 2 times...but now i am on Linux box and it is going a bit faster.

If i can get it downloaded i will put it in my dropbox and leave a link in this thread, i think that will be the easiest way.

I tried putting things like this on other free servers and it is slow. rapidshare was great to upload to but people had hard time with the downloads.

bluetooth connects to my Zonda headphones but cannot pair.  The process needs the ability added  to enter PIN number.
OR...have a default of 0000 (four zeroes) hard-coded as that is the default PIN of every headphone or earpiece I have ever encountered.

on the positive, everything works great so far ,  I have already noticed that the screen is brighter, Wi-Fi is stronger.  

Thank you.

but cjhallx said

if one can connect to a blue tooth device but not pair then what good is the blue tooth support since in order to use any devices you have to be able to enter the pass code to pair the device with the Airpad XL?

If jcoleman2164 said he tested his blue tooth dongle with 2 cell phones and a wii controller and they worked ok then doesn't this mean he was able to pair these devices to his Airpad XL?

I'd really like to install this version of ICS but don't want to go through the pain in the butt of reinstalling all my apps again since some were installed via Amazon App store but most via Google play.

Some people are saying them headphones have to be reset http://www.fixya.com/support/t11241449-anyone_know_get_zonda_bluetooth_headset.
Do you know if they are a2dp or mono like a normal headset?

I was able to enter the pin to connect and pair to an android smartphone and send a file.  I had to get an app for the wii controller but it connected fine.

My Zonda is a headphone, not a headset.

See it here:

I hope that clarifies things.

You were able to pair it to the phone by entering the PIN on the phone, right?   Need to be able to do the same on the AirPad XL tablet since obviously there is no way to do that on the headphones.  That is how it is done on my wife's older AirPad X.

Again, these are stereo headphones, not a handset.

You can see it here:

I had to enter the pin on the phone and on the tablet.

From what I can tell the zonda headphones use the Headset Profile (HSP) rather than Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) that most of them use. If use google android and hsp you can see that its a common problem.

There is an app called BTmono that some say helps.

Post by: cjhallx on June 17, 2012, 10:16:30 AM
So I need to get a pair that uses a2dp and then i will be prompted for a PIN with your firmware?
Thanks for clarifying that.  Keep up the good work, it is much appreciated.

One important question I have is
Is this version of ICS in English by default or is it in Chinese and you have to figure out how to read Chinese in order to find where the language option is so you can change it to English?  :)

Thanks

Post by: jcoleman2164 on June 17, 2012, 10:35:21 AM
It is based on the airpad image version 0514 so it defaults to English.  I changed the timezone to eastern time also but I can't quite figure out how to make it default to a 12 hour clock.

I have found a some things that I did not mean to include in the current image (crappy boot animation) I will be uploading another image so you may want to wait on it.

Helpful Hint:
In many cases the language setting is easily found by looking for the letter A as the icon for setting the language.

It's a cool boot animation, better then the boring one in 0331 which is just the word android glistening.

System settings, Date & Time and then un check "Use 24-hour format."

Once you pair a audio device how do you get the music player to play the music through the Bluetooth device? In order for it to work does the tablet have to prompt you for a pass code? I have a Insignia NS-BT400 Stereo Blue Tooth stereo apeaker system I got off Ebay and it came with no instructions or documentation so I don't know if it's A2DP or HSP but it shows up in the Blue Tooth settings with a icon that looks like head phones. :(

Doing a yahoo search I was able to find out that it is A2DP and the PIN is 0000.

Here is the manual:

Heres the updated rom https://dl.dropbox.com/u/85954963/CM008-AirpadXL-Momo15.ICS.Bluetooth%200617.img
The only differences from the original is I removed the boot animation and the imdb app.

I know how to change it once android is running, I am trying to find the setting so it will default to 12 hour clock on first install.

I like the idea of a nice boot animation but that one was for a phone and didn't quite look right, if someone could recommended a good one I would include it.

This version lacks one major necessary feature location services or they don't work so there for it's missing Google Maps and The Locations program and the route planning program. The locations services are very necessary for weather programs so the program knows where you are and most weather programs assume you have a cell phone that knows where you are located via either the cell phone network or a built in GPS circuit and there for have no way to set up your location manually by entering a zip code or city name. I have 2 Radar programs, Radar Now and Instant Radar and both of them don't work with the 0514 image because they can't detect my location but they worked fine with the 0331 POYER image.  I check marked "Google location services" and "Location & Google search" but any programs that support detecting your location can't detect my location and get a location detection error.
Why did you not edit the 0331 image from PLOYER tablet? The only problem with that image is the volume keys don't work properly, why not just add Blue tooth  support to that image and also edit the key files?

Post by: jcoleman2164 on June 19, 2012, 12:21:43 AM
I did not realize location services are not working, I will look into it.

Some of these problem may not matter anyway, I almost have CyanogenMod working and the bluetooth and location stuff seems to be working fine. I just setup a weather app and entered my zip code in location services.

I think all that is left is the camera and some keylayout stuff.

I'd really like to install this version of ICS but don't want to go through the pain in the butt of reinstalling all my apps again since some were installed via Amazon App store but most via Google play.

I got Titanium Backup and performed a full backup of everything before Factory Reset and a HARD reset.
Put in the SD card after and then browsed to the Titanium complete backup folder and ran the Restore program there in. Let it go for about 5 minutes and all my stuff was back exactly as I had before the Factory and HARD reset. I have about 9 landscape pages of APPs. ;D

But the Tablet still had problems. I have not gotten mine back yet. ::)

What is the status on this MOMO ICS image with bluetooth?  Is this the same image file as refreenced here?

http://forums.x10.com/index.php?topic=26395.0

Is it too buggy to use - I see mention of location services not working - r we sure that it's not set correctly in system settings?

Any other problems - I am running ICS 0331 - - but I would switch to the MOMO image to get bluetooth -- IF I did not loose other things....

Please post an update with details...

Thanks

The best solution I have found that has everything working is to install Cyanogenmod 9.

First you will need to install clockworkmod recovery http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/30683-installing-clockwork-mod-recovery/
In clockwork mod only the vol+ button works just loop till you get the option you need and press power to select, after installing the zip files hold the power button to exit cwm.
Second install cyanogenmod9 and gapps http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/33373-rom-cm9-nightlies/
Third install this compatibility https://dl.dropbox.com/u/85954963/momo15_compatibility.zip which is just the Protab2XXL file with our keylayout.
Or use this file https://dl.dropbox.com/u/85954963/momo15_compatibility%20boot%20anim.zip which is the same as above except the boot animation has been resized for our screens.

I have only tried this with cm9_nightly_20120624. I have not tried the new kernel 3.0.36 discussed in the thread or gapps with face unlock.

I would love to see this based on the 0331 build.  Based on posts  we all agree the 0514 build has problems.  Not a criticism, just my two cents.

I am currently uploading an image based on 0331 that has better bluetooth support. Its still not perfect but it does load the headset profile so it may be worth trying before buying another set. Also cyanogenmod seems to have nearly perfect bluetooth support.

I am currently running 0514.  Is there a big difference in the new one, 0331, from the previous post or should I just stick with the one i have.  Only problem I have so far is a little laggy and chrome beta exits when i try to access setting in the browser.

some people have gone back to 0331 from this version. with the same apps loaded on tablet, 0514 was slower to respond and I would have network sleep/wake issues.

Yea i am having the exact same issues.  It would slow way down for a minute then the tablet would be fine again.  The network issues were common and I thought it might be my router.  I'll switch to 0331 and hopefully have better success.

Thank you! tablet is rooted now.  I tried to attach my stereo headphones and still get the error of invalid passcode which is alright, I'll pick up
a pair that support A2DP.

Ordered headphones, should be here from China in about 15 days.  Happy 4th America!
