[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riggsandroid:
Anyone interested in helping maintain a website intended to be a central location for all things sprint htc hero customizations. I know this has been attempted in the ROM, MOD and Theme threads in different threads, but I thought it might be more helpful to have everything more centralized and organized on its own site.

I'm thinking something similiar to the threads we have now, but presented more like a photo gallery style format.

If we don't think it is something that is wrothwhile, then I'll just offer a mirror to people that want one. The domain is:

sprinthtcheroroms dot com,

you can email me there at riggs Android at sprinthtcherroms dot com, if you are interested or would want your stuff hosted there as a mirror.

Just trying to do my part to help the community....
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lineman78:
I have a few ideas as to how this could be accomplished. What sort of time frame are you thinking? I have a lot of experience with Joomla and would be willing to help you get an instance set up and try and help maintain it. I am a software developer by day, so I try not to spend too much time on a computer when I get home, but I think I could swing some time on weekends. As far as a custom solution goes, I am a huge fan of GWT and think that if you were thinking long term this is a possible solution, but is by no means a fast one. Most of the devs in the community use wordpress as their content management solution. I prefer Joomla because of it's plugability and it is less centralized around being a blog. As far as download management for Joomla, some of the more popular are DocMan and Phoca. I have integrated phpBB into Joomla before, but I would like to find something that is a bit easier if you would like to do a forum. I have been out of building php and content management sites for 2 years since I graduated, but the most feature rich Joomla example of my work is www.morningshowcentral.com.

I agree it would be nice to have a one stop shop for all things hero. I have found that it is very difficult to find these things because they end up getting buried in the forums. You could give an account to all the major devs so that they could post their releases, and it would be nice if we could set up a way for devs to get faster feedback on real problems yet not have to deal with trivial problems that can be solved by the community.

Ok, so I've been working on the layout of the site and such, and have the following request.

Anyone who has a FAST internet connection, can you download ROMs for me and upload them to my server? At home I only have a 3MBs/768KBs DSL line.

If you are willing I can give you a login for hte FTP for the rom folder.

I would do it, but my internet stinks...

Anyone want to do some compiling of information? I am trying to just grab posts from here, androidforums, androidcentral, etc. and clean them up (give credit to EVERYONE) just to have everything in one place.

Working in JOOMLA.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bukem75:
Just had the new kenwood deck installed... Should do almost anything. I have my incredible paired up and calls are clear. Problem is A2DP audio streaming. Does not work. No A2DP device is found. Yes, the manual gives directions to play streamed audio once bt is synced. Well, its synced, got my phone book on there, and calls are being made.

Any thoughts or ideas to get streaming audio?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmischenko:
I don't have any help to offer, but I am experiencing the same problem with my Pioneer FH-P8000BT. Pairs for phone calls with no issue and everything is clear, but the radio does not even "see" the device as being available for A2DP.

I previously paired a few different HTC phones (all running Windows Mobile) with this radio with no issues. I'm hoping it's a simple fix, but I can't find a single thing in the settings that I haven't played with to try and get it to work.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanmcd72:
I have an Alpine HU with an Alpine KCE-400BT bluetooth add on. My streaming audio is working, although I don't get any song/artist info on screen. I do have an issue where the phone doesn't sync up all the time. It syncs up great in the morning. If I stop for gas or something (turn off the car briefly) and get back in, then the radio won't see the phone until a call comes in or is started from the phone (or I toggle BT on/off).

You might check with Pioneer on any firmware udpates.

My incredible works great with my Ford sync system. It always connects, calls are loud and crisp, and streaming bt audio works great. I use it to listen to Pandora all the time.

I have Kenwood HU and my phone won't pair with it. my Blackberry Paired with it fine, and even did A2DP, and worked awesome...now......nothing.

Been looking for some answers as to why, but after calling Kenwood they said it's a software update that is missing.

however, seeing as some people are getting it working fine....I am suspecious.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madman34:
Kenwood 4160 working, actually better

My 4160 and serveral WM units worked, but the A2DP always had to be turned on by going into the menu every single time I wanted to listen to anything from the phone, but the Incredible does it by itself every time perfectly.

I have a Pioneer AVIC N4 and the audio for both calls and music works just fine out of the box.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boozie2:
I have the kiv-bt900 also, and it is my understanding that it does not have A2DP. I believe the A2Dp in the manual is referring to the KIV-700 with the add on bt module.

From page 67 (of the downloaded manual from Kenwood)

KIV-BT900

Supported Bluetooth Profiles:

Version: Bluetooth Standard Ver. 2.0

Profile: HFP (Hands Free Profile)

OPP: (Object Push Profile)

PCAP (Phone Book Access Profile

SYNC (Synchronization Profile)

I thought it had it too when i bought it. Maybe a future update will enable it though??
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Just Joe:
What does A2DP mean please?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boozie2:
it stands for Advanced Audio Distribution Profile. In simple terms, it's stereo audio transferred from one device to another via bluetooth. Example: Music from a phone/mp3 player to stereo bluetooth headphones, head units etc..

Thank you.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bukem75:
Well damn. The deck was sold to me from car toys (local vendor) under the pretense that it would do zune (works great) and A2DP...

Usb works great too... I was thinking of formatting a laptop drive to the mac file system (hfs) and hooking it up to the usb port to get a200GB drive of mp3 and video since it supports ipods. (works on xbx360, why not here?)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the tree:
OK so a small fix, but not the end result.

with my Kenwood head unit I can make it work as long as I don't let it download the phonebook. and that is no problem since the phone sits on my dash in the car dock. but the problem is that EVERY time I start up my truck, or after I end a call it asks to re-download the phonebook.

it kinda irks me, but I cannot get it to stop asking, no setitngs on the stereo work.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr2Andy:
I emailed Kenwood about possibly releasing a firmware update to include A2DP to the kiv bt900. They responder saying that there isn't enough demand for the feature for them to create a firmware update. So if we get enough people contacting them and requesting that feature, they will release and update. So you guys should all contact them to increase the demand for this feature. Hope this helps.

Here is exactly what they responded:

"I understand that you're inquiring about the KIV-BT900's Bluetooth features. We do apologize for any difficulties that you've experienced with this item. Unfortunatley, we cannot assist you with any firmware updates at this point since this model was just recently released to the market. Our company has not received enough demand for this feature which prevents us from developing or releasing an update for the KIV-BT900 unit. We may release an Bluetooth update in the future, however it's hard to determine at this time."
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cerchiara:
I'm willing to start complaining and sending some emails out to them. What email address did you send it too? I just got the player and that is def the only thing missing to make it complete for me.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cerchiara:
I tried emailing the regular support channels and got the below message.

Thank you for contacting Kenwood USA Corporation. We value you as a Kenwood customer and appreciate the opportunity to be of assistance.

I Understand you are inquiring about any updates to allow the A2DP profile.

There is currently no available updates and there hasn't been information on upcoming updates for the A2DP profile. We ask that you check back at a later date to verify if one is posted through the www.kenwoodusa.com website.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Please feel free to contact us again with any additional questions.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldboehm:
I spoke with a rep and they mentioned that A2DP missing from the unit is the most often called in issue about the unit.

I have a KDC-BT948 with the same issue. They removed A2DP and put in Pandora instead..and it only works through iPhone, which then uses up wireless data on a cell phone plan. So Android, MS phones, and any other bluetooth device can no longer be used with a Kenwood Car Stereo. Someone at Pandora really made an impression at someone in Kenwood. It is too bad that they are limiting consumers with their choice which ultimately limits their sales and increases complaints.

Should have everyone go do this and request a fix.

Go to the Kenwood Contact page and send an email

This is what I sent

I have purchased the KDC-BT948HD radio.

Where I am overall happy with many of the features, looks, variable colors, and excellent sound quality of the unit, there are several things that I am extremely dissapointed in and would like to see an update released to resolve them.

1. SMS Received message on the unit: Might be useful to some, but to me it is a dangerous distraction while driving, especially at night. It has me take my eyes off the road to look at the unit and makes me want to look at my phone to read/send texts. Texting and driving is illegal in many states and there should be a way on the unit to allow a selection to turn this feature off.

2. BT Audio (A2DP) is missing. I have an Android phone with my music on it. Alone there are more Android phones than iPhones in use today. I wanted to have Bluetooth streaming audio so I can play my music from my phone to the unit. For such a high technology unit, it should be part of the firmware and flexibility to the consumer to use their device with more options. The previous year units had this enabled and seems to be disabled now replaced by a focus on a wired Apple connection and Pandora. Forcing use of Pandora also forces consumers to use up data rates on their wireless plans. If A2DP were enabled, more consumers could enjoy the product integration with standard BT devices offered by Apple, Android, Microsoft and many others. All could enjoy the music and audio applications on their devices including Pandora. I would like to request that A2DP be added to the firmware and source selection on this device. I should yield increase product ratings and sales as web searches show many complaints about this issue.

I would value your feedback on these points and potential solutions.

Best regards

[Hero CDMA Android Development] quietcblongs:
First, this is a "can it be done" thing, so don't expect things to work. The only thing that works is:

3G data - like, you can use the browser app and surf the web

Nothing else works! No audio, so no phone calls or playing audio files, no camera, etc.

This is a play ROM!!! Don't expect fixes for a while, or until official source is released on android.git.kernel.org.

Also, its a little laggy/slow due to using software only OpenGL.

Again, play ROM only!

EDIT: 2010-05-21 05:43 UTC

darch has an updated ROM that runs faster, so play with that one:

http://darchroms.pocketdevelopers.com/darchroms/froyo-22.zip

Doubtful we'll get the mic working in this build, since the built config used forces a audio hardware "stub", and replacing the relevant libs did not do the trick. It was a good try, and the new launcher is neat, and the browser works well, but thats about it until Froyo source is released.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] zenulator:
I ran into the same issues when the 1.6 sdk came out when I was running the vogue and then again when the 2.0 sdk came out.

I'm afraid your going to need the source to libaudio.so and you'll have to compile libaudioflinger.so against it. Unless we get some kind of leak or a device running 2.2 with similar audio hardware. This isn't going to go any where anytime soon.

But with that said I'd like to see how far we can get this going. They've already begun to push some of 2.2 to the aosp.

Also pro tip. Push su from cyanogenmod to /system/xbin and chmod it 4755 the push the superuser.apk to /system/app. Also push cyanogens term.apk to /system/app cause the default one sucks and take out the chinese/japanese ime. And while were at it. Push libRS.so and librs_jini.so from a sprint 2.1 build it makes the ui alot smoother.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
Hero won't ever get a Froyo update from HTC/Sprint. We're lucky to get Eclair.

It'll have to be the guys here at XDA to do it. Chances are, we'll have to wait for HTC to put out a source of it for some phone and then backport it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brokentoaster24:
in my mind, the ridiculous wait for 2.1 was almost a blessing in disguise.

if we wouldn't have waited so long, we wouldn't have so many talented devs working so hard on 2.1. and since we DID have so many dedicated devs working up until around 2.2 was released.. they just decided to see what they can do about 2.2

so thanks sprint/htc/whatever... just give us another half ass leak and these guys will take care of the rest :P
