Enable Bluetooth Stereo A2DP on your Windows Mobile 5 Device

<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=3014' target='_blank'>http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=3014</a><br /><br /></div><i>"The guys over at xda-developers.com did it again and found a way to enable A2DP on Windows Mobile AKU 2 updated devices, even if your operator left out the A2DP and AVRC Bluetooth stereo profile out! Sure, this is neither a supported tweak nor an official way to get A2DP enabled on your Windows Mobile 5 device and therefore everything you do, you do on your own. Basically, the original way "sas90850" and "kyunga" posted contains 4 files (3 DLLs and one CAB file) and a Registry modification you have to do on your own. However, "Khuanchai" packed everything in one CAB file which installs all DLLs and the CAB on your device and modifies the Registry on its own, no need to modify it yourself anymore."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/wm5_adp2_tweak2.gif" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/><br /><br />I know a lot of you were upset about the lack of A2DP on the AKU2 update. Well, thanks to the great work done by the guys over at XDA-Developers.com, you can enable this one your device. Check out Arne's post over at the::unwired for all the links and details. :mrgreen:

PH*CK YEA! I wasn't going to mess with my 2125 and put the imate SP5 on but now I am then I will do this bad boy.

I read through the thread. It uses up a ton of memory. Some said they couldn't start other apps when it is running. Is listening to music on your phone worth all that? I ask you! :?

I tried following the instructions from Kynga to install A2DP on my SP5m, and I got stuck at an early stage. Does anyone know how to follow this intsruction?
"...unlocked by RegEditSTG.exe and SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe"

Where I do get those applications? How do I find the registry? HELP!

I put the imate SP5M AKU2 Rom on mine today and the only way I could app unlock was use the HTCUnlock-CVS.

Try @ your own risk.

Thanks Xultar! That helped me get farther. It seems to have worked in some respects... when I connect my Motorola HT820 stereo BT headset I get to click the Stereo Wireless profile. But when I play sounds they come out of the handset and not the headset! This occurs whether I also have the handsfree profile clicked or not. Any suggestions?

I don't know cuz I just tried it and it didn't work. I'm going back through the posts and I'm trying to see what needs to be done.

Something tells me that the registry values might not be correct.

I'll keep you posted because I may need to ask you what your registry values are k. I'll PM you if I need to get that info.

Stop the insanity! :razzing:

How awesome are the guys at xda-dev. If they were developing the phones, they would include all of the features us users want :D

Hello.
Using i-mate SP5M with new ROM update.
I'm copying the .cab file to my mobile device, but on installation, get the note "Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient permissions."
Help? :oops:
Do I need to install, seperately, AVRCP.MPplugin.dll, bta2dp.dll, and sbc.dll seperately?
Where can those files be found?
Thanks,
Peter

a2dp is absolutely worth it.

i didn't need to necessarily 'hack' my xda exec, i just upgraded it qtek's latest universal update and voila, push e-mail + a2dp.

i use the motorola ht820 stereo headset and it works just fine. there are no major problems and with the update i actually have more free space than i previously had. it also runs close to 80% faster (the way a 520MHz processor should!).

don't know how i survived before without these enhancements.

If I don't have a stereo bluetooth headset, is there a way I can check to see if my AKU2 device has the A2DP profile?

Not sure. But if you don't have a Bluetooth stereo headset, does it really matter? ;) I don't have one so this feature doesn't really mean much to me right now. :D

You need to app unlock and then CID unlock your device. There are places you can go to get the unlock tools. I used the HTCUnlock and another I can't quite remeber off hand.

SO TRUE. I have WAY more space on my device and the Cingular rom had the the minimum MMS memory locked down to a minimum 4mb.

I bought my HT820 specifically to use with the Cingular 2125...Wasn't I surprised that it didn't have A2DP and the rom update wouldn't come out soon.

Things are working great!

Hi new poster long time reader. xultar, do you know where I can get detailed step by step instructions and firmware needed to upgrade my 2125 for this feature?? How and where do I get the SP5M firmware and how do I upgrade my 2125? I am desperately looking to add this to my phone as well.

Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry, we don't allow linking to or sharing of illegal material. The ROM is copywrite i-mate and thus it isn't meant for the 2125. I'm sure if you google around you'll find the info you need. But we don't allow posting of that here. Thanks. ;)

VoIP and A2DP are two things that I am not willing to try on my 2125 or similar.

I just did this "upgrade" on my 2125 with no issues. Took me about 3 hours to chase it all down and figure it out, so I've added the instructions on how to do it to my blog to save people some time.
