Hi,
I am the author of [1] Bluetooth (bluez5) connect HFT profile.


As I own Intex AquaFish and now Sony Xperia X, I was very surprised that I
was not able to pair Sailfish X with my car. Later I found this article [2]
which states that HFT was dropped in bluez5.

So AquaFish using bluez4 works fine, but Sailfish X which uses bluez5 is not
able to connect to HFT, simply because there is no HFT support in bluez5.

My request would be to provide working bluez4 stack in Sailfish X, for which
all of us will be very thankful as we can use the phone in the car (as
stated basic functionality). As some users reported, including me, the
phone is a no go without HFT.

I also tried installing bluez4 and could bring up the adapter, but could not
pair and the interface stopped working. There were few packages missing etc
etc., so at the end I gave up.

Alternatively I read there is development in ophono to support HFT, but
unstable or buggy. I did not follow on that.

I can build, install and test packages if you need some assistance. The
Sailfish X is anyway not used ATM.
