[Q] Bluetooth Track ID (AVRCP 1.3) - HTC One X

Hi,
I had an old desire and a car head unit that didn't support BT streaming via ad2p, so when I got my new OneX, I quickly sold the old head unit on ebay and replaced it with a newer model that supported streaming. I am now able to stream over BT which is fantastic as my plays are now recorded on the phone (i use player pro & mediamonkey desktop pc to organise my collection). Plus now I can also scrobble to last.fm, which is something i've not been able to do since time began (in the car).
but now there's one thing that's quite annoying, the lack of info being sent to the head unit (track ID, etc). I did a bit of research and it turns out that the BT stack used in base android doesn't support AVRCP 1.3, which is the version of the protocol that supports track ID. Then I found that cyanogen started supporting this....
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_vendor_cyanogen/blob/gingerbread/CHANGELOG.mkdn
Is it possible for this to be included in the custom roms? I'm asking this in general first before asking a specific ROM dev to attempt to implement. Will this need an entire cyanogen base?
I'd love to see this implemented if at all possible
EDIT: oops, i think i've posted this in the wrong place as it's a question?

did u manage to find more info about this? Anybody else knows some more details? 10q

I'll have a quick go at answering, If anything is wrong then please correct me
HTC have written their own Bluetooth stack that doesn't support AVRCP 1.3 (stupid really if you ask me). This stack will be found in the stock rom, as well as all sensed based custom rom's and possibly in some unofficial AOSP roms.
The Official CM roms should have the standard BT stack with AVRCP 1.3 drafted into it, meaning that it should push the track ID's to all receivers that support it.
To answer your question: Unless HTC's BT stack can be dissected and modded to support AVRCP 1.3, or the CM BT stack can be ported over to sensed based roms (both highly un-likely as HTC's BT stack is closed, and CM's BT stack wont work on sensed based roms) then this is not possible, unless you flash a CM rom on your One X

teky.co.uk has it covered above.
the htc BT stack is (as you would expect) half complete and doesn't support anything but basic connectivity and streaming. The cyanogen mod team added this functionality around cm7 (i think). so for phones that are supported by CM, you can flash a rom built around Cyanogen and you will have track ID.
Because we cant get S-OFF, we cant flash a pure CM mod, which presumably explains why there isn't one available. There is a port in the works by TripNRaver, however the last time I checked the BT streaming was on the issues list as not working, so regardless of it using AVRCP 1.3 or not, it wouldn't work anyway.
I'm quite frustrated by this. I bought the One X thinking it would be the best (and most up to date) Android phone available. Instead i'm stuck half way to removing the HTC crap from the phone for the first 3 months of owning it. I was able to get this functionality on my ageing HTC Desire (with custom rom)...
If you can get something to work, the music player pro application has recently added support for AVRCP 1.3 on phones that support it. So when we eventually get someone to implement a new BT stack in a custom ROM, or when HTC decide to support 1.3, we can actually use the feature!

This has been bothering me for some time; I actually sent an email technical support request to HTC for followup regarding this issue.
Maybe this will be fixed by the time Jelly Bean comes out? Or possibly that could be too adventurous.
I will reply back to this thread when I hear anything from the other side. I actually submitted a link to teky's great informative post in the ticket.

This is the response from HTC when I contacted them about it.
Thanks for your patience.
I can sadly confirm, after a long discussion with a senior technical agent, that Google have not yet implimented AVRCP in there Android O/S. It would seem to be avaiable for Windows based devices, possibly due to the amount of time Microsoft have been in the mobile firmware market. But, sorry to say, it is not yet part of Android.
The only advice I can offer, would be to post on the Google official forums about this as I'm sure you will not be alone with your requirement.
Thanks for your time and for contacting HTC.

help us cm9, you are are only hope.... bzzzzzzt
maybe a ROM developer could help re: porting the BT stack to a custom rom?

Here's what HTC sent to me, I have since followed up.
Thank you for contacting HTC.
With reference to your query, currenty we AVRCP 1.3 is not supported by One X. If you see that some of the function on your bluetooth is not working its because of the compatibilty of the phone and the bluetooth.
Sincerely,
Sammy
HTC

This is the best I could get out of them.
Thank you for contacting HTC.
With reference to your query, yes, HTC is looking forward to this. However, we cannot provide any definite detail at this time when will this be available to the phone. That is the reason why as well we are creating new and improve phone here for our customer. Plese refer to our website for any update to our product and service and we do apologize for the inconvinience.

So, anyone know how to porting the BT stack to stock rom? or any package to do that feature?
Tks All!

if someone created a universal zip file to flash to any android phone, that would be awesome. How in the world did cyanogenmod do it? maybe if someone asks, they can tell you how to code it into any device's rom.

some further info on this.
tbalden's CM9 port works with avrcp 1.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1706001 this rom is reasonably stable (battery drain is quite bad so far, the worst rom i've tried) BUT! it works fully with ACRCP 1.3
the CM10 port by tbalden does not work. I've posted many times in the thread and even messaged him directly, but nobody ever responds to my questions.
Given that Cyanogen mod supports 1.3, i'd expect this functionality to be added soon as the rom develops. I hope so as it's a fantastic rom but it's a bit flaky at the moment (as it's alpha)... if you really need avrcp 1.3, the the above linked CM9 is a decent compromise.
I'd still like an answer on how this works? is it a driver? can it be packaged and added to any rom? I think not to be honest but would still like to know.

Really can't wait for this feature!

Yes, agree with u guys and really need a package that supported to install to stock ROM
Tks and appreciate for any Hero help to do this!

this functionality is now in CM10. i dont think it can be ported to other roms as i think it has some dependency on the kernel? (but what do i know?)
I've been running tbaldens CM10 for some weeks now and it's very stable

I also would like to have AVCRP 1.3.
As far as i understood the bluetooth stack must be compiled with the kernel. The blueZ stack does support AVCRP 1.3.
But we need a custom kernel compiled with it?
I now also wrote a support inquery to HTC. Perhaps they will implement the complete bluetooth stack if enough customers ask for it.

its in the main CM10 roms now.

Sorry to dig such an old topic. But has anybody been able to find some patch to get this feature on sense 5. I feel sense 5 is awesome, (sorry to sound selfish) cannot switch over to CM10.. is there anyway I can get it .
on ARHD 31.2
If HTC has been blaming google due to this feature not being available in android itself, I feel cheated.. because have seen this same feature on all other android devices.
Also this feature is there in HTC one , the current flagship with sense 5.. One of my friend has it. If only some dev can compare files and bring out some patch for OneX.

[req] AVRCP 1.3 Bluetooth profile in source mode

Is there any possibility of implementing AVRCP 1.3 or 1.4 on our own instead of waiting for google? I pair my Incredible to my car stereo via Bluetooth and it would be nice to see the track information appear on the head unit display. It looks like it currently supports AVRCP 1.3 in target role, just not source.
http://source.android.com/porting/bluetooth.html
I would love this feature! I'll be willing to test anything.
Even more so, I would love for my phone to pair properly with my Alpine BT. If the phone has had the BT turned on fresh, and I get in the car - it will pair up without interaction and I can initiate a call from the radio. If I stop the car, get out and do something (gas station, errand, whatever) and get back in, turn the car on - the phone looks like it's paired but I will not be able to initiate a call from the radio. I have to do it from the phone or wait for a phone call to come in before it kicks over to the Alpine BT... (no previous phone had this issue, including the Eris, HTC Touch running Android or Windows, and Moto Razr)
I second this request.
Agreed. Hoping for a fix daily, but understand this may be a serious challenge.
For now, I've been switching back and forth between stock ROM and Cyanogen, where Cyanogen bluetooth without sense UI works fine for me. Specifically, I use the Wii remote software to control various emulators.

bump......
Bump as well..
I don't have a way to test this, but just a thought --
In CM6, the latest nightly,
edit /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf
At the very top under [General] you see this:
Code:
[General]
Enable=Sink,Control
Disable=Headset,Gateway,Source
Try putting source under Enable.
Worth a try <shrug>
You'll need to reboot after making the change.
Did anyone try tdiman's suggestion? I'm currently reading up on AVRCP and the compatibility with my N1 (this DInc thread popped up on google).
I haven't bought my BT Head unit yet, but I'd be interested to see if we can get metadata via CM
I would love to see this implemented in CM Roms
I tied to edit my audio.conf changing the lines suggested above and it doesn't work. I'm guessing because the version of bluez included with android is only 3.69 and AVRCP 1.3 wasn't even a glimmer in the authors eye at that time.
Our only hope of getting this working is either someone compiles the latest version of bluez into a ROM or wait until google does it. Unfortunately from what I have read even Android 4.0 is going to have bluez 3.69 so it may be a long wait.
Total bummer
Edit: what it does do is make A2DP unstable, after editing this file my A2DP kept randomly disconnecting.

My guess is that since bluez is part of the core android OS, CM won't have support for it either anytime soon. Hopefully I am wrong though.
No support in bluez, yet...
Well, currently bluez (the bluetooth stack of Android) does not support AVRCP 1.3. But I have started to work on this (google: Fixes for AVRCP 1.0 and preparation for AVRCP 1.3 bluez)
So, in the following months you will have the proper support in Android, which I'll eventually announce in my blog.
Any update on this? I am looking for this on my Moto Atrix as well. From what I have heard, the Moto Droid X supports it?

I have the X and I do not get any track info. My original Droid did display the song information on my head unit.
I have tried every music player on the market and each one says avrcp 1.3/1.4 coming soon...
Google? Bueller? Google? Bueller?
thanks for the amzing post
So anyone can create a pack to port into ROM code for AVRCP 1.3 updated instead waiting Google release?

Elocity A7+ ICS - 2.6.39 Kernel development

anyone up to the challenge in helping?
i got the 2.6.39 ICS kernel of Folio100 (originally by DerArtem) working on A7+
it boots but no touchscreen support.
i can attach a mouse and use apps so on, so basic IceCreamSandwich 4.0.3 seems in place.
kernel source is here: derArtem 2.6.39
ill update the thread, if any other developer can assist, and ill put my kernel changes online as well (i do not know github much yet)
I will still try and solve the touchscreen driver support, since i got it loading now but nothing moves.
but i got it working and the device would actually be great with full ICS support.
WOW!!! This is GREAT News!
Hope someone comes thru to help you out. Im sure you will have the touchscreen driver support fixed. - Awesome news! Wishing you the best in this project!
Hi Dexter,
It would be amazing to get my A7 running ICS - Have you had any luck with the touch screen drivers?
A quick question - I am currently running your 1.42 version - If I don't care about the camera / bluetooth functionality would you say your Cyanogen7RC1Mod is a better choice to run?
Thanks in advance - Keep up the great work

i am not 100% since it been some time now.
but if you like to move apps between internal and sdcard to free up internal storage, the cyanogenmod will help since it got support for it.
otherwise differences are more if apps prefer a 2.3 android than the old 2.2.
you got some audio tweaks as well.
it might actually be better although BT and cam is not working. Cam is anyways low/low quality not much to value here. BT would have been nice to enable.
Cool - Thanks for your quick response.
Off topic question but would moving my apps to the SD card increase performance?
I've noticed the touch can be a bit laggy at times but otherwise it's a great upgrade.
I'm not a developer but is there any way I can assist with the ICS work for this device? I'm good at research
Thanks again.

well not developer related, but if you can find similar devices (OEM branded product from compal) it could be we could locate updated versions.
the A7 was sold as OEM products in europe, although still using android 2.2.
maybe you got lucky and found something?

[Q] Questions re: Incredibly(^<Paranoid2.19.30Final, Sense-based ROMs

Long time lurker, first time poster (which means I can't post in the actual ROM thread). If my thread is inappropriate, please feel free to revise/delete as necessary. If additional information is needed from me, please advise.
By way of background: I have experience with flashing on this phone dating back to Gingerbread with IncredibleHD and MikRunny from "another site". I came over from a Samsung Fascinate where I was also flashing ROMs. So while not an expert in the actual development of the device, I would like to think I am somewhat experienced with flashing ROMs at least.
Incredibly(^<Paranoid2.19.30Final Questions:
With my current flash of Incredibly(^<Paranoid2.19.30Final, I am not running any themes and installation should be basically standard (though I did have to flash the October GApps package over it because there was no way to set up a Google account).
1. Aroma: The Revised OP still talks about the Aroma installer (I know that there have been two versions of the ROM zip in the past). When I flashed 2.19.30, there was no Aroma installer. Bad download or mistake in OP? Answered in Post #4.
2. Camcorder: Regular camera and FFC are working correctly. The OP says that the camcorder has 720p enabled at this point. However, I do not see anywhere in the settings to change the quality of the camcorder, and the camcorder is currently recording at 480p. How do I change the camcorder to 720p? Answered by The Man himself in Post #14.
3. Bluetooth in Car: With the various AOSP ROMs, when connecting the phone to my car via Bluetooth (not A2DP, just a headset profile), I get sound but it is garbled beyond belief while ringing. For any music buffs, the sound is basically the first chord of "I Believe In a Thing Called Love" by The Darkness...as the sound of a phone ringing. Per Rushead's post #710, it appears that Bluetooth headsets and in-call voice are not functional, which is a known issue in AOSP ROMs under ICS and JB with no fix. Has this been resolved in this ROM since "everything" works but LED camera flash? Answered in Post #9 via OP for Incredibly(^<Paranoid Collection.
4. Status Bar Clock: I want to eliminate the clock in the status bar. I go in to the AOKP settings via Settings > ROM Control > Clock > Clock Style and select "No Clock". This removes the clock from the status bar. However, when the phone goes to sleep, and I come back through the lock screen, the clock is back. Going back in to the settings as referenced above, the "No Clock" option is still selected...and yet there is a clock there. If my memory serves me, in Aeroevan's CM10 the option would be under Settings > System > Status Bar, but there is no option for the clock there in Incredibly(^<Paranoid. Obviously not a huge deal, but just curious if anyone has a suggestion. Answered in Post #9; works fine in CM10 so who cares.
Any information or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
VenomINC 1.3.1 Question:
While my primary questions are related to Incredibly(^<Paranoid as I am digging JB at the moment, as I am already running up my technical support bill I figure I will ask a VenomINC question as well.
I have tried the various Sense-based ROMs under ICS (but VenomINC in particular...same thing, standard install, no themes) and have a giant issue that does not seem to have popped up in that thread: everything works perfectly, with one exception: no audio comes out of the headphone jack. I have tried an aux cable in the car, regular headphones...nothing. This makes the Sense ROMs unusable for me personally, as I spend a good amount of time in the car for work and listen to podcasts/music.
As best I can tell, I believe that this only happens with Sense 4 based ROMs (UKB, ViperINC, EclipticSense over on "another site") but not with Sense 3.6 ROMs (Ascension, the Nitsuj ICS leak) or with CM based ROMs (including Aero's CM10). I will note that I have not tried changing the kernel - I understand that Viper is using the Chinese kernel, while some of the other ROMs have the leak kernel.
The issue was raised in the ViperINC thread by user artcotto in post #s 615, 634, 689, 691, and 693 with no resolution beyond Nitsua98 helpfully suggesting that maybe his headphones were broken (they were not). I have flashed the various updates to ViperINC since November and the issue has not gone away. Any information on this would be appreciated as well as I am a bit of a flashoholic and would likely go back and forth between Sense and AOSP (even though as noted above JB is pretty awesome).
Thank you for the great community and for any information and assistance you can provide. Thanks to all the developers for all the hard work you have done for our phone (which was apparently ancient and incapable of upgrade by HTC the second we bought it) allowing me to have a current phone without needing to buy a NEW phone.

Have you tried earlier versions of ViperInc? I am using 1.0.2 and have none of the issues I was having with 1.3.1 (which were not your issues - just lag). Another question would be - and I'm not sure this would really affect the jack - have you flashed the firmware?

I have not tried going back to prior versions of ViperINC, though I believe I have used from 1.1 onward and had this issue. I didn't mention in my original post, but yes, I have flashed the ICS firmware with the 0320 radio. Maybe 1.0.2 would be worth a try (though I'm not sure there is a way to get old versions of the ROM).
Re: [Q] Questions re: Incredibly(^<Paranoid2.19.30Final, Sense-based ROMs
This might sound odd. I've been on viper the longest. No lag. I installed super su n un installed their SU. Also got a busy box installer from the market n updated the phones busy box. I'm also running defensed but made sure I popped in rosie, but it's frozen n I'm running nova. Night n day I tell ya.

fwiw, i also have 0320 radio with headphones working fine. i was previously on ViperInc 1.2.0 and EclipticSense and it also worked fine.
Can you think of anything else you did with your phone around the time you first started experiencing the headphone issue?

Not that I'm aware of. As I mentioned above, I don't think it's a "hardware" issue, in the sense that even now I have no problems with CM 10, Incredibly(^<Paranoid2.19.30, etc. My best thought was that it may be something with the way the Sense 4 ROMs interact with the hardware, i.e. maybe the kernel on my particular phone? But I have no idea. At some point I will try flashing the "leak" kernel over the VenomINC install.
What I'm more interested in at this point is 720p recording on Incredibly(^<Paranoid2.19.30Final (And I am looking forward to Chilly throwing together a CM10 ROM).
If we keep going back and forth we can rack up enough posts to start posting at the grown-up table :good:
So the revised OP for what is now the Incredibly(^<Paranoid Collection answered a couple of the questions.
Bluetooth phone calls do not work in any of Chilly's ROMs.
I flashed his CM10, and the issue with the clock in the status bar is resolved. This leads me to believe it is an AOKP/PA issue; I am fine with CM10 anyway so no big deal there.
However, when I flashed CM10, the same issue exists with the camcorder. FFC and regular camera work great for photos; there is no option to change the camcorder to 720p.
Re: ViperINC issue: I flashed ViperINC 1.3.1 again, and this time I flashed the "leak" kernel over it. Still no audio through the headphones. I tried turning Beats Audio on/off, did not do anything.
Only issues I have with Viper is it will not connect to my media server via the native apps. I also have been experiencing lag but I think it's mainly due to lack of ram as a reboot usually clears it up. Also if you toggle gps off it doesn't work unless you reboot.

I did not install XLoud in the Viper Installer, just went with Beats. As I said in the OP, I know that my issue was previously mentioned but it does not seem like anybody ever found out the cause.
Bluetooth phone calls are not a dealbreaker for me. At this point, if the 720p recording is actually working, I would be happy with CM10 as a daily driver (though I may check out Evervolv as well to see what 4.2 can do). I just can't find the setting...
So what I think I pieced together: the Chilly collection of ROMs does not have 720p recording. When he was talking about the camera being fixed 99.999% except for flash, he was talking about FFC only, and the ROMs do not have 720p recording. I am hoping I am wrong but confirmation would be appreciated.
It may be a situation like the DKStunna thread, where it was proudly proclaimed at the top that "EVERYTHING WORKS", except for the stuff that didn't that you were just supposed to know hadn't been fixed. When Chilly said in Post #875 that "Lol FFC can works ..led flash works but not with taking pictures...video etc works" that does not appear to mean that 720p recording works.

I had got 720p working but it caused problems so I removed it u caught the thread before the revamp
Currently working on most my roms is
FFC with recording
Tethering with 3party app
I will be implementing fixes for led flash
Blue tooth works but has some bugs
Mostly everything works with fixes that I will be implementing
The pa I upped has fixes already baked in ..I'm yet to try BT yet
Once fixes have been baked the roms will be fully functional minus 720p

That must have been what happened...I have kept up with the thread fairly regularly and thought I saw that 720p had been figured out, but as you said that must have been before it was pulled. I was confused why nobody was mentioning it in the thread considering it would have been big news.
Chilly, thanks for the response, and thanks for all the hard work you do to make the phone feel like new. We're lucky to have such talented devs keeping our device relevant. Keep doing what you do! :highfive:
To the Mods: that should wrap up this thread if you want to lock it. I do not believe there is an answer to my remaining question about ViperINC and audio through the headphone jack.
Re: [Q] Questions re: Incredibly(^<Paranoid2.19.30Final, Sense-based ROMs
Hehe even the mods have moved on...
Once everyone leaves this device Verizon will update it like the thunderbolt.

I don't think it was mentioned, but did you try a reflash / redownload?
Probably not going to do anything, but worth a shot.

Sweet. I'm locked in my phone till November so I'll be like 1 outta 12 people left with the phone rocking ICS. Sounds exciting
Can usb tethering be done in cm10. I saw the WiFi app thread but nothing on usb.
Not to bump an old thread, but since I still can't post in the actual development thread: Chilly said in Post #1369 of his ROM thread that "No such thing as 100% but yes everything should work other then rotating hard keys bust out the champagne!"
Therefore my question is, once again: how do you change video recording quality to 720p in the camcorder? There still doesn't seem to be an option for it. Any info would be appreciated.

Cm 10.1 avrcp 1.3+

Does anyone know when AVRCP 1.3+ will be merged into CM 10.1? It appears to be an essential feature and is present in the stock ROM; however, missing in CM 10.1.
wrong section...

to answer your question:
It is unknown. With 4.2.2 google decided to change the Bluetooth stack to a broadcom source. IMO it's absolute garbage. Althought it is open-source, code is bad, performance is bad, and 4.2.2 has has pretty much shotty bluetooth AT BEST. Thanks to devs like Task and, others, we've been able to have decent AVRCP1.0 (Device Control)/A2DP (BT Streaming).
The that added AVRCP 1.3 to the previous stack by Bluez is known, which should help in the implementation of 1.3 into the Broadcom stack, but really, broadcom is garbage. Any driver that i've ever had from broadcom has been garbage and I quickly replace. We'll either see a reversion to the 4.2.1 bluetooth stack (crossing my fingers for) or a manipulation of the Broadcom code (like Bluez) to give us 1.3. Until then, suck it up with 1.0. We've never had solid 1.4 , that's where it starts getting good.
It's sad cause the iPhone has 1.4 support..maybe that's the reason why most good head units stay away from true android support. Even the newer one coming out are still pretty lacking when you compare iPhone to Android features.

[Q] Latest ROM with bluetooth head set support?

Hello,
I´m running my Captivate Glide with a custom ICS ROM (Don´t exactly know which, it is a 4.0.4, Baseband I927UCLG9, Kernel 3.1.10, Build IMM76D)
My question is, is there any newer ROM which has a working bluetooth head set support ?
I travel a lot by car and it is very important for me to make phone calls via HFP paired with the car stereo.
With my actual ROM this is working perfect.
Why I´m asking for a newer ROM is, I want to use an app that announces incoming messages and other useful information via HFP
over the cars speakers.
And this is not working. I tested the app with various other (newer) phones in my car and it worked with all of them.
So I thought I could update my ROM but every newer ROM seems to have no bluetooth head set support...
regards,
Mister.Knister
There were some big changes to the bluetooth stack in 4.1, so for our i927, only ICS ROMs support BT headsets. SediROM is a new ICS ROM in development. If you don't have other problems with your current ROM, you should probably wait until SediROM is publicly available and well-tested.

Any chance KK will be able to get it working eventually or is it something just not possible..

Hi Mister.Knister,
well the reason why I started to become a ROM dev was that there is no way to have a good working BT Headset support since 4.1. You can can read the full story here in the sediROM thread.
so you will not find (or if so tell us) a Kitkat or Jelly Bean Android version with working BT Headset profiles.
I guess the only chances are:
to wait until someone will fix /add that within the bluetooth stack (haven't since years yet)
or someone is able to integrate the ICS bluetooth stack within JB or higher versions (maybe impossible)
or you wait for sediROM and create a FR here with all details you have (including ROM version and build number (click here if you don't know where to find those), App name, problem description etc): Create FR
or you fix it
