Do any roms support Bluetooth 4.0 Low energy? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I know its not written in the code for google yet but the Gnex has the hardware built in. Has anyone been able to activate the chip and maybe write their own code to make it work?

I've never seen it. It's not a ROM issue either, it's up to the support from the kernel which carries along the drivers.. which talk to the hardware.

So nobody knows how or nobody really cares to take the time to do it? Im just curious. I know theres alot of guys on these forums that know how to do a ton, didnt know if it was possible.

So you want someone to try to write a driver to fix something that isn't broken?

isnt broken..what the hell you talking about? It has to be enabled thats all. Obviously if i was smart enough to do it then i would. It was a simple question and i was hoping somebody with knowledge unlike yourself would give me an answer

You'll have to go to Google with that question. It obviously ain't trivial to be done by a community, because I can imagine it would already be done by now.

Actually the work was started on by someone who was developing for the cukoo watch, but was abondonded when google switched bluetooth stack from bluez.
So if you are using an older rom and your hardware supported it you could in theory use this project
https://github.com/android-btle/
Someone else did not like the switch to the new BT stack so they created a project to put the bluez back into android.. Unfourtunately it appears some packages were removed..
http://gitorious.org/android-bluez
Just some of my research into the matter

There'll be a way around it, yes. No 1.4 doesn't resolve this unfortunately.

I did ask, twice but no one replied.
So to get attention and show people this I made a new thread.
People need to know this problem and be able to find a way around it.

To be fair, it was asked numerous times before hand and was mentioned to be getting worked on.
Use the official bug tracker, it's mentioned in the second post of the official Open Desire thread.
BTW, it happened in a lot of vanilla roms (I had a Hero, and it happened on cyanogenmod port too, it took a while before getting it fixed).
TerrAme0, Really any need to comment? Thanks for your contribution...don't bother in the future.

Does this need to have the orginal project android installed? Also, will this run on T-Mo? Lastly, does gps work?

GPS should work. Thats kernel controlled, not OS controlled.... works on all of my builds 2.0.1 - 2.2

Should also mention in the link for the Rhodium that got added to our thread that HW3D, BT, and Sound are not working for Rhodium. This will confuse people. lol
it seems i did not make it clear on my post, when i said "any question plz post them on my thread " i meant the thread over in the touch pro forums not here, so again sorry if mislead you.
I'm bhoping gps works...lol..works on mine..lol

Did you even try it...? Or read about it...?
I think BT is in the same state as all the other builds... I'm going to make a wild assumption and say that camera, wifi and charging are as well.
But, give it a whirl and let the OP know how it went. Obviously the camera is not going to work and BT will probably pair but not work either.

Eventually I will, I just have 2 other builds im testing and a 3rd one will fill my plate to the point I wont be able to test any! :O But yeah, looks promising, considering my phone has alaways booted, never had flashing issues or android boot issues...maybe you're right and it "sorta" works, because I have Wifi working on xdandroid froyo 2.2 and a lot of people don't...

Everyone else has wifi working too... unless you are using WEP. VERY rarely some of the T-Mobile tp2s don't work, but for the most part you're not special.

[Q] Does android run bugless on touch pro?

Im sorry if this was asked but i'm on CSD internet connection.
so: can i run android (froyo preferably) on my touch pro without bugs? or what are the things that do not work on it?

Without bugs? No software is without bugs. With that said, there are many 'non-working' things. Read the main thread, it's got all these words that will answer this question. First 4 posts are great, after that the search feature works wonders.
Also, what happened to trying it out? This is for fun/testing, it's not meant to replace WinMo. So if that's what you're looking for (WinMo replacement) I'd look elsewhere. Like a new phone

"Bugless" is preference, IMO. Sure it runs on my Fuze as long as I stay within the guideliness from the link mentioned in the previous post. If you are looking for benchmarks, you might be better off with a device that actually comes with Android (also IMHO).
By the way what are you attempting to do with this?
Use it as my primary OS. i'm willing to sacrifice the camera for it.

There's a lot of other little quirks, I wouldn't use it as your primary OS - unless your phone isn't used as a phone of course
Most of the problems people truly have usually are related to the phone sleeping and missing calls, or rebooting in a call etc. Stuff that's mission-critical so-to-speak - I know some that use the phone completely unactivated and love Android full time. There's also some I know that have the phone activated and just don't care and use it all the time.
I'd say for most 'normal' people, it's not ready to use full time as your primary OS. But as with anything tech-related - try it for yourself! Don't let my opinion make your decision, only you will be able to tell. That's the greatest thing about this whole project, doesn't damage the phone, no need to flash anything... Try before you buy, except it's free anyways
welll I had it!
When i bought the phone (secound hand or third ) it had it installed already. It was froyo. I playd with it until it crashed! I had several runs until someday when i noticed that sounds ain't working no more. why? don't know.
nevermind...
OFFTOPIC:
I have another problem @ wich i don't find help.
I'm trying to dump the ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427507&page=22 here but I get this error. can someone help me?

It's a lite WinMo ROM that auto loads Haret from SD card the author is MichyPrima
As mentioned in THIS post. In my opinion, the closest that RAPH has been reported to run from nand. Keeping in mind this doesn't actually run from nand.
Just wondering if you tried it or not...

[Q] Wifi not working - fixed by Cyanogen?

I have the 'wifi not working properly" that many others have reported. I'm still on 2.3.3 and have hopes that 2.3.4 may fix this. But does anyone know if the Cyanogen mod, when available for the Arc, will fix this? Does it change the wifi at all?

[Q] Top Mic?

Hi there, I've noticed, and read, that the top mic on our phone is disabled in AOSP roms, and that it's likely not to be enabled. I've scoured the forums but can't find a reason. Is it an open source thing? A lack of source code thing? Does anyone know the reason? I know that my knowing why won't fix it, I'm just super curious. Thanks in advance!

To my understanding it did work at one time. It created an echo when on the phone and/or on speakerphone. Thus, its disabled now. I havent seen anything about that it wont be enabled again once someone finds a fix.
