Long time reader, less time poster so don't NOOBIFY me please. Thanks.

OK. I've flashed several roms, enjoying frying my Wizard into something new for the past year and a half. Nuff said bout that...we are all there if we are on this board.

I actually had it BT-AS working on my MDA with one of the roms, forgot which one unfortunately. I never had problems with the WIDCOMM/BROADCOMM stack on my old AXIM wth WM2003SE with activesync profile but I guess that is the difference with Broadcom and the cruddy Microsoft Stack.

My favorite ROM is the OCTAIVOI 6.0 so far. I tried out the bluetooth activesync and it will NEVER give me an activesync profile, just the serial port profile.

The MDA also seems to only have ports 6 and 7 open for bluetooth purposes.

Now I have tried registry hacks from other postings and other fixes that seem to work only with previous activesync 4.2. I USE 4.5. I know Microsoft jacked with it for some dubious security reason (which is irrelevant to home users...only enterprise users)

Anyway. Has someone got this thing to work? I love my ROM but am willing to ditch it for something that has a properly functioning connection thru AS and BT.

Thanks.

(some seem to have tried to port the Bluetooth stack from x50-51 from Dell over to wizard..has that worked out?)

too many questions...again..don't kill the "noob" poster.

Thanks:)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ROCOAFZ:
Did you flash your carrier rom before flashing 6.0

In 5.9 it did not work for me, but in 6.0, bluetooth active sync works for me.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] gfourner_austintxmda:
Great advice on flashing carrier ROM first.

This is something I usually do and when jumping from one OCTAIVOI to another, I skipped the step.

Giving it a go and will report back.

Thanks for your patience and kind answer.

I hope this works..as trying to uninstall activesync 4.5 and putting 4.2 was fruitless. WM6 says I have to use 4.5 when I guess I remember my old WM5 roms allowing 4.2.

Lets get flashing.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] gfourner_austintxmda:
Reflashing with 2.26 ROM then WM6 doesn't solve BT-AS Prob

I tried the advice given above, normally excellent catchall to fix a lot of problems. This time, it unfortunately is stuck on the *&*& serial port option with no option for Activesync again.

To see how it used to work in original T-Mobile 2.26 WWE, I reflashed it and it worked beautifully. Ok, so I wasn't nuts for remembering that it worked in WM 5.0. However, putting Octaivoi 6.0 on it or several other ROMS in the last few months does not allow proper BT connectivity in using Activesync.

TNT, Blackdiamond, NBD (Where are U Zoki?) are some of the ROMS I remember having problems with also. It could be that you got it to work? Chime in.

I am going to go back to an INgeNetics type rom from original Wizard wm6.0 ports and see if they work.

I love the features on .1908, .1921, 1933,.1938 type roms but this is ridiculous to not work. Maybe I'll try that .1948 on I just saw on the boards.

ANYBODY have more input on this. SOMEBODY else tell me that they are having this problem...EVEN BETTER...FOUND A SOLUTION.

sorry for shouting...about to toss my MDA in the toilet over this.

(blasphemy)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ROCOAFZ:
Note also, i followed some adive that was given to me in 5.9 that didn't work. But did in 6.0

Remove all paring before flashing to 6.0

Remove all bluetooth settings also in rom.

Flash

Re-pair

Mine worked on my Wizard.

Hope that may provide some incite.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] gfourner_austintxmda:
Am I the only one who is having Bluetooth-Activesync Problems?

Rocoafz-thanks for all your input. You seem to be the only one who is not apathetic to this issue. I've seen your other posts on other threads and I know you went through a lot of what I am going through now. Thanks for understanding.

Tried this and unfortunately all I still get is the serial port option and no opportunity to do both incoming and outgoing com ports like you can in basic windows mobile 5.0 "T-Mobile 2.26" rom or in Button 1.05 rom.

Hell I started fresh. Uninstalled my Dell Bluetooth (widcomm stack) from laptop, uninstalled Activesync 4.5...so no more pairings at all.

Fresh flashed the carrier rom.

Installed fresh WM6 ROM.

Result.

Same nonsense. Different day....oh well.

In WM5 I have no problem connecting but nothing seems to be working.

I am wondering if a bluetooth stack can be corrupted from all the flashing or is each flash a true clean wipe that gives you a fresh start. Is there something residual from another ROM or registry hack that is screwing with this? Just curious.

APPRECIATION To any forum member with solutions or attempted solutions.

It just sucks to not have this function as my laptop seems to OVERHEAT when I am USB connected for Activesync. :confused:

Possible Answers and a Question

To answer your question: XDA Mobile v5 (of mfazzz) does have a working ActiveSync via BT - I used it. However, it has another problem: files don't sync no matter how you connect (wi-fi or cable).

NTS's ROMs also sync via BT.

Octaivoi is a nice ROM though - I'm using it myself now and am quite happy with it. It would be nice to crack this bug...

If you do have the ability to add ports in the BT menu, it should be doable - that's how I did it with other ROMs.

I'm not sure I understand your post completely though: do you or do you not have an option under BT to add ports? I'm asking since I don't - that's what is preventing me from getting ActiveSync run via BT.

I'll still stick with Octaivoi though (at least, for now) - I like this ROM. And, perhaps we (or somebody else) will figure out how to do it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mailforkrishna:
BT active Sync

For i have tried allmost every WM6 rom available on this board

but only TNT rom's have working Active sync via Bluetooth

Thanks for the new round of input on BT-AS issues.

Each bit of new information provides us with a solution eventually.

I have been deleting COM ports on my laptop that were blocking my use of COM3 and COM5 etc.

Figured out how to kill them finally and recreate bare COM ports for use by whatever USB or BT device I wanted.

Only snag now is I must have killed my entire internal BT adapter for my Dell laptop...thats another story.

I'll try to put in my Kensington BT USB dongle and try from scratch.

I think I am getting somewhere.

Should be able to add ports again from the Wizard side, usually 6 and 7.

Found another program, not shareware called VSPB..virtual serial Port builder. It may or may not help with this Serial Port problem.

Hello,

sorry for my bad English.

I am German and have made the text with translator.

My story:

I have here a Samsung S5 and wanted to install this completely normal with Odin TWRP.

Twice I've tried this and always came "FAIL".

Then I tried it with TWRP app. And now my recovery is completely gone.

And it comes error message that I should use "verizon software repair wizard".

I have in my case no German version of the mobile phone or how do I understand this?

How can I reinstall Recovery?

Thank you for help.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbsc:
1. "Failed" in Odin may have two main reasons:

- Wrong firmware (not for your model);

- Faulty data cable.

So be shure your phone is SM-G900V. You can check it via Download Mode: you will see "Product Name: SM-G900V" in the second line.

Be sure you've downloaded the right firmware (for SM-G900V).

Try another data cable.

2. Stock SM-G900V firmware has no German language, only English, Spanish, Chinese and so on. A custom firmware is needed to have German interface language.

3. It's rather difficult to brick our phone. Usually you can flash stock firmware via Odin and start your investigation from the beginning.

You need to have the older Multirom 33a to install / run as a 2nd OS. I had an issue with WLAN not turning on after 1st boot but 2nd all is good. Runs smooth !

I loved SailfishOS on my Maguro but now that I changed phone I was missing it. Nice to see it works on flo!

Both front and back cameras worked for me just fine! :good:

yup :p proof

If you need any specific config file or log I can send it your way. BTW have you checked Bluetooth? Mine's not working and couldn't figure out how to enable it. The configuration section for bluetooth is all blank and if I press the shortcut to enable it, just blinks for a while.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Willdrick:
I literally snapped a picture of you saying you didn't see a proof in the previous video lol.

Anyway, everything's working now. BT's a bit fiddly and tends to fail initializing some boots (just as wifi won't work on the first boot after install). The game is Shattered Pixel Dungeon, a mod from the FOSS PixelDungeon for android, running via AlienDalvik.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Mister_Magister:
Oh i didn't saw a video lol :D Then what is that device on screenshot running that game?

Rom's working fine here. Bluetooth and Camera work as intended (I have put Sailfish as my main and only os, though.)

I've got AlienDalvik up and running on my installation too. Found the instructions on 4pda for the mako and just adapted them over to the Flo.

EDIT: Wanted to give an edit here, another thing that doesn't seem to work is GStreamer for media, I get the system and notification sounds, but I get nothing when attempting to play media at all. I've tried using MP3s both in Sailfish and AlienDalvik(I expected this to not work honestly, but wanted to try it anyway). The media players all fail to load the MP3 files and GPM under Dalvik just skips through saying "Cannot play the resource you requested." (Like I said, I expected that behavior from AlienDalvik though)

Installation on deb with dirty hacks, and modem

I have already had a flo installed your build, working fine.

Today I managed to install your build atop cm-11-20141115-SNAPSHOT-M12-deb on a deb device, with assertion within updater-script modified, and it seems to work fine, too.

The aliendalvik with ShadowEO config works on nexus 7 2013.

I was looking for some bugs and have found some:

1. The front camera is taking pictures but not recording video but the back camera does everything.

2. Pushing Settings/Setting shortcuts/Select shortcuts there is a shortcut for Brightness and Ringtone volume but selecting them they still can't be seen in Events view. There is no way in using them in Events view. It would be very practical to integrate them so one could change brightness fast and change audio fast with software slider instead of hardware for audio.

3. The builtin audio/video player codec support is almost non existant. Downloaded youtube video does not play. Could you write what codecs are supported in this release?

4. USB MTP fix would be nice - Ubuntu detects the phone but can't mount it. I know it is written that it does not work yet.

5. Web browser engine update would be nice as now it is reporting as firefox 38. One could migrate to http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwebengine-index.html
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Mister_Magister:

2. Probably sfos doesn't support them in tablet view, not my fault

3. video playback is not working? i'll fix that

4. i'm using sftp but if you want i'll try to fix it

5. It's sfos thing not mine. Keep in mind that i'm not making this os just porting it to flo. but there is some work on integrating qtwebengine
