Blutro/Celeste 2/... not working on iOS 7

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello 

I want to play with my PS3 Controller on my iPhone 5S 
It is jailbroken and i installed Blutrol 

When i try too connect the controller with my phone, an error appears.
"Bluetooth not accessible!" 

I checked out BTstack in settings and saw this message: "There was an error 
loading the preference bundle for BTstack" 

What does it mean? 
Is my iPhone 5S not compatible with BTstack?

So if it didn't work with ios 6, then why has it been updated to kindof work 
for ios7? 

Will the BTC mouse & trackpad every work for ios 7?

It works better on iOS 6 than on iOS 7. On iOS 6, it worked fully until you've 
pressed HOME to switch to SpringBoard or another app. On iOS 7, all you can do 
is simulate a HOME click, once.

BTC Mouse & Trackpad will updated for iOS 7, probably beginning of February.

Matthias, kindly let us know how iOS 7 update is coming along?  Waiting 
patiently to have BTC Mouse and Trackpad working again. Thanks for your 
efforts.

Sure. Sorry for not providing more updates. I've fixed BTstack for iOS 7 
beginning of January but that's not used by BTC Mouse & Trackpad. I've started 
on Bluetooth Companion (basis for BTC Mouse & Trackpad) but that's a larger 
effort.

I've updated Bluetooth Keyboard Helper yesterday to get started. I'll update 
WeBe++ and BTstack GPS next - both shouldn't be complicated to fix. 

I'll have to work a few days more on BTstack qualification but will then focus 
on update the tweaks.

Hi Matthias. Thanks for all your efforts. I'm anxiously looking forward to 
being able to remote access my 3D software with IPad using your bluetooth mouse 
app & Logmein. Can you confirm functionality of middle mouse and scroll for 
orbiting and zoom ? I am using a Microsoft 5000 mouse.

Ok. BTstack GPS has been updated for iOS 7 and is available on Cydia/BigBoss as 
usual. It does have a new icon but doesn't use the iOS 7 UIKit style (that 
would have complicated stuff, so I've skipped it for now).

Next will be WeBe++ as it needs the same fixes as BTstack GPS. BTC Mouse & 
Trackpad comes after that.

Have Jail Broken My Iphone as soon as I heard about this app and realized that 
Apple is that lame that they didn't include this functionality natively.

Well Done to Matthias for creating this Awesome App and really looking forward 
to using it as I'm on IOS 7 at mo

hi, I hope it's not an annoying question. I would like to use my bluetooh 
keyboard with iDOS 2. It worked with iDOS 1 with standard connection in iOS 7, 
but it's basically useless for gaming, since holding a key or an arrow makes 
everything stutter, the key hold means something different in standard iOS 
bluetooth than on normal keyboard. Wih iDOS 2 it doesn't work at all.
I wanted to know if BTStack + BTStack Keyboard have a different approach and if 
they can be used with iDOS or similar things...and if there will be iOS 7 
support coming.
thanks a lot!

@mgurnik: BTstack Keyboard won't help here I'm afraid (aside that it doesn't 
even work on iOS 7).

BTC Mouse & Trackpad 1.6 with support for iOS 7 is out! Go and get it.

Hi Matthias, 

Thanks for update BTC Mouse & Trackpad! have been waiting eagerly for this.

Unfortunately running into some issues. 

Issue1: Pairing with a Microsoft Wireless notebook presenter mouse 8000.
I can now see mouse/trackpad detected as a bluetooth device, however when 
trying to pair i recieve two prompts

1). Pairing unsuccessful - Make sure your "keyboard" is turned on, in range, 
and is ready to pair.

I click ok and then recieve

2). Pairing unsuccessful - Make sure your "mouse/trackpad" is turned on, in 
range, and is ready to pair.

Issue2: Pairing with a Mighty Mouse

When i try to pair with a mighty mouse, i dont get the error messages above, 
however the ipad just reboots and i recieve a message that springboard has 
crashed and that my ipad is now in safe mode with extensions disabled. In this 
mode the btc mouse & trackpad bluetooth extension is disabled.

I have to power off ipad to get it back to normal.

I am using iPad AIR 32gb Celluar running iOS 7.0.6 evasion7 1.0.7

Hi Matthias,

 Thanks for getting BTC updated. I'm sure it was worth the wait. I have a problem though. I originally bought a Microsoft 5000 mouse a while ago when I heard about BTC, but never got it to work because of iOS7. Now I've got your package installed but it's not seeing the mouse at all. Do you have any idea what mice may or may not be compatible with this ?
Which one do you use ?

Thanks
JF

Hi Matthias,
thanks for the great work. However, I simply cannot get a Kensington Presentair 
to work with Keynote. I pairs fine, however no cursor appears – and 
essentially nothing happens in Keynote (issue maybe in apple's new policy 
regarding keynote remote?) Would be grand to fix this.

Cheers from Vienna!

Same here, my magic trackpad won't pair, it keeps connecting then disconnecting 
every second as the green light on the trackpad goes off and on, and keeps 
repeating.

I have tried mac advice, like holding the trackpad button, to turn off, then 
hold till it flashes, then hold while connecting, but nothing.

I have tried reinstalling btc mouse and trackpad, resetting the ipad, and also, 
have told the ipad to forget the device, reset, and tried from scratch.

Please help...

I've git the same issue with Magic Trackpad on iPad3 iOS 7.04
Whenever the trackpad connects bluetooth is shut off and reenabled.

Here's the way I've managed to get it working in IOS 7:

- First uninstall anything related to mouse or bluetooth
- If you previously synced your bluetooth mouse with another tweak or whatever, 
go to bluetooth in setting and desync it by using Forget this device.
- Install BTC from Cydia
- Go to bluetooth and let your mouse be discovered.
- Click on it, it should not prompt your for a passcode.

That's what I've done on my iPhone 5 and iPad air with 2 different mouse (china 
and logitech one).

Hi there. Here's some feedback and troubleshooting advice

Reboot loop: just cannot happen because of BTC Mouse & Trackpad

Springboard crashing into safe mode: shouldn't happen. please de-install other 
tweaks and try it alone. then add them back to see if one particular tweak 
causes this

Bluetooth crashing when connecting to Apple Magic Trackpad: this happens for me 
too, so it's easy for me to fix it. just wait for an update.

Mouse not showing up: reboot, then make sure Bluetooth settings shows 
"Extensions: BTC Mouse & Trackpad". Make your mouse is a Bluetooth mouse (not 
just wireless) and it is discoverable. It really should show up. If not, please 
try with a different mouse

Mouse doesn't pair: has been reported e.g. with Microsoft Notebook Mouse 5000. 
I've found one online and ordered it. will test & fix when I get it

Mouse connects but no mouse pointer: weird. please reboot and try again.

Hi Matthias, I have a fresh iPad Air 7.0.4 and installed BTC Mouse and 
Trackpad.  Bluetooth settings do NOT show "Extensions: BTC Mouse & Trackpad".  
I've tried multiple reboots, uninstalled and reinstalled BTC Mouse & Trackpad 
but no success.

I've two mice I can test - Microsoft Arc Touch SE & Logitech v470 Travel Mouse. 
 Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi all. Thanks for trying all this different ideas. Please try this one, too.

If the mouse doesn't show in the Preferences and/or there's no mouse pointer 
although a mouse is connected, please delete 
/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/ch.ringwald.btc-mouse.plist. Then, kill 
Preferences (or Respring or Reboot) and tap to "Activate BTC Mouse & Trackpad" 
again. Then try pairing agin.

thanks for the tip and your hard work on this matter...

i don't know what to use or how to to the delete what you mentioned.

my BTC Mouse & Trackpad Version 1.6-1 Filesystem Content looks as follows:

<Details
Library
 MobileSubstrate
  DynamicLibraries
   BTC-JumpDesktop.dylib
   BTC-JumpDesktop.plist
   BTC-Mouse.dylib
   BTC-Mouse.plist

I tried several variations (sequence scenarios) of installing and
re-installing ... just can't seem to get BTC to display any bluetooth
devices...currently trying to use the HP bluetooth mouse X4000b but I am
willing to buy any mouse out there that is known to work with iPAD AIR iOS
7 and JUMP...

Hi Matthias, 

I followed your original instructions to uninstall other extenions and apps, 
also completely removed BTC Mouse & Trackpad and reinstalled.

After this no mouse was detected at all.

I then followed your latest instructions, after deleting those files and 
activating BTC mouse & trackpad i have had the following results

1. Magic Mouse - Able to find and pair without any issues.

2. Other mouse - Able to find however still receive error message as previously 
reported.

Mattias,

I just purchased BTC Mouse & Keyboard on my ipad 4th gen running iOS 7.0.4 and 
I have not been able to pair my Apple Magic Trackpad. It does not show up in 
bluetooth settings at all. 

I have tried all above suggestions: 

Deleting .plist file in preferences, deleting any other tweaks that have to do 
with bluetooth stuff in cydia, removing/reinstalling BTC, removing keyboard 
from other devices previously synced to, restarting iPad, hard reset on iPad. 

Nothing I am doing is making a difference. Is the Magic Trackpad currently not 
supported? I can get it to show up on my iPhone 5S, but as soon as I try to 
connect, (like others have mentioned) bluetooth disables and turns back on 
leaving me without the trackpad connected. So out of 2 devices - I can't get 
this to work. 

Feeling discouraged that I just paid for this and cant do anything with it. :(

Apple Magic Trackpad: currently causes a crash of the Bluetooth server. I've 
fixed it and had it working for a bit, but the pointer didn't work the second 
time. I'll get this fixed.

Pairing failures: I've bought a Philips Bluetooth mouse (SPM 9800/10) for which 
others reported problems. I'll try to get this one working, to..

I have just purchased a bluetooth keyboard that has built into it a trackball. 
Is this compatible with btc mouse and trackpad? The keyboard works fine but the 
mouse trackball part doesn't.  The product is

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

To follow up on the Microsoft Mouse 5000 & IPad air issue, I can confirm that 
both the mouse and my Ipad work as both are able to pair up with other devices. 
The IPad pairs with headphones, and the mouse pairs with every other laptop in 
the vicinity. It does not get detected at all by BTC Mouse however. 

If there is anything that I can provide to assist in debugging this issue 
please let me know.

Also if we can start a list of compatible hardware on this wiki, I think that 
would be helpful all around. If anyone who is successfully using a mouse with 
their IPad could post the make and model that would be great. If it turns out 
that I have to switch mice, I'd like to know what my options are.

Thanks,

 JF

Hi Matthias
Have applied the latest bt companion update from cydia and still no pointer. 
Any news on this fix? I am using ipazz keyboard and track pad.
Many thanks

Hi. The crashes with the Magic Trackpad are fixed and also the pairing hack to 
use mice without a pin. The Philips SPM 9800/10 cannot be paired on 10.9, but 
now again with BTC Mouse & Trackpad.

--

Now, for those where the mouse doesn't even show up on the Bluetooth settings: 
Please delete /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/ch.ringwald.btc-mouse.plist. 
Then, kill Preferences (or Respring or Reboot) and tap to "Activate BTC Mouse & 
Trackpad" again. Then try pairing again. If that fails, please post 
/tmp/BTServer.pklg here - you need to enable PacketLogger first

Hi Matthias, 

as already wrote in issue 361:

I can confirm all my issues are solved with the new companion:
test done with
iphone 4 on 7.0.4
IPOD 4g on 6.1.2

the mouse tested and all found perfectly working, in both device:

Philips SPM 9800/10 (the most important for me :-))
Microsoft notebook mouse 5000
Logitech Thin Mouse
WEBE++ installed in the IPAD and used as mouse in the Iphone....

 like to give a little contribution to your project, let me know if this is possible

can someone give me some detail steps on how to do this?  (how to locate it

Jerry : I used this app called "iFile". 
http://cydia.saurik.com/package/eu.heinelt.ifile/  It allows you to browse the 
file structure of your iPad. It's 4$. If other people have a preferred method 
please chime in. I have deleted the file but apparently left the mouse at home 
so I haven't been able to try it yet. 

rled050469 : You have a Microsoft 5000 Mouse currently functioning with BTC ? I 
have the same using an iPad Air & iOS 7.0.4 and the latest companion update did 
not change anything. Nothing appears in the Bluetooth device list when I put 
the mouse in pairing mode. The mouse pairs fine with a Macbook Air though. I 
have not been able to test after deleting the .plist file though. I should be 
able to verify in about 4 - 5 hours.

Jfmo: yes I have it and just tested once again, it is working for me and was 
working also with the previous version of Companion.

maybe some other tweak is causing this issue for you?
did you uninstall everything and use icleaner?
