A2DP Enabler updated

I have just updated A2DP Enabler, an application which enabled A2DP profile on original iPhone 2G. he primary goal for this update is to disable it for non iPhone 2G devices.


The update is also resolves a problem with "paired devices" list which sometimes doesn't populated properly.  The update is optional, if A2DP works properly on your device you do not need to update  but shouldn't hurt at the same time :)

Requires original iPhone 2G with iPhone OS 3.0 or higher. It doesn't work on 2.2.1 firmware and never will be.

A2DP Enabler can be downloaded from apt.dmytro.me repository

USB Drive version 1.1

This was a long road, but finally we have reached the release stage.  A current version is marked as 1.1 and it has the following changes since last beta:

• No date restriction, this makes too much hassle
• ReadOnly option now works propely
• Minor bug fixes and tweaks

I have a big TODO list for this project, so stay tuned :)

USB Drive update

The USB Drive update is slightly delayed, sorry. Will publish it very soon and replace this post.

Update: The application was updated to extend beta period.  Hope to release it soon to completely  remove this damn thing.

A2DP Enabler Released (1.0.1)

I just released a small update to the A2DP Enabler application,  the application which enables A2DP Bluetooth profile on iPhone 2G (also known as original iPhones, iPhone Edge, simply iPhone).

The biggest change is a version number to force Cydia update expired versions around a world.  In fact a released version of A2DP Enabler was available in repository since 1st of December, but looking into my Inbox it seems it wasn't noticed by many users.

If you have updated it to the 1.0 released 1st of December - there is no reason to update it another time.

Released version removes beta expiration only.

USB Drive Beta3

I just (actually on Halloween  night) updated USB Drive to the 3rd beta. While I was going to  release USB Drive, the 1st of November came unexpectedly too quickly.  So, this is an update to move expiration date to the 10th of January 2010 only.

The only new "readonly" option works perfectly but has no sense today.

Hope to release it soon.

P.S. Please do not download USB Drive or any of my applications from sources other than apt.dmytro.me. First of all I haven't given any permissions for such distribution and second and most important it seems that USB Drive is broken in such distributions.

A2DP Enabler. FAQ and short instructions

Sometimes I am getting e-mails asking about instructions how to use A2DP Enabler.  So step by step guide:

A2DP Enabler for iPhone 2G (original iPhone)

Have a good news for original iPhone owners, you can use Bluetooth Stereo headsets with your iPhone now.

Bluetooth Stereo Profile (A2DP) and Remote Control Profiles were available for iPhone 3G starting from firmware 3.0, but wasn't available for original iPhone. This tiny application A2DP Enabler fixes this.

Technically it should be compatible with any A2DP Headset, but since it seems iPhone BT module is quite weak RF signal, I'd recommend trying few headsets to check what fits you. Lennie from http://a2dp.info agree to recommend best headsets from her collection, but until this review complete please post your experience here.
