Bluetooth profile selector [jailbreak]

A little while back I described how to disable A2DP on your iPhone. It required manual modification of some files on the iPhone, which is not for the faint of heart. Now, I have created an application that allows you to change the Bluetooth profiles on a per-device basis. It works very easy.

Bluetooth device selectionBluetooth profilesAbout BTPS

Go to Cydia and look for the Bluetooth Profile Selector application. It is hosted with the BigBoss repository that is installed with Cydia by default. After installation you should see a red box with a Bluetooth icon inside of it.

The application shows all Bluetooth devices that have been detected. Just tap on one of the devices and the next screen is displayed that contains all the profiles that the iPhone can use on that device. The default setting enables all profiles, but you can choose which profiles that you want to enable. When you’re finished, just press the home button and the settings will be applied. During this process the Bluetooth server is restarted, so you’ll lose any active Bluetooth connections for a short while.

You can also download the package here. Put it on your iPhone and use SSH to run dpkg -i BTPS.deb to install it.

UPDATE: Apple has changed something in v4.3.1 and the profile selector cannot be used since then. Unfortunately, I don’t have an iPhone with v4.3.1, so I cannot test it. There has been some people that claim that they can fix it, so you can download the code here.

I received several requests from people if they could donate. You can donate via Paypal if you like:

  1. Try Blutooth Service Manager on Cydia. That works with 4.1 and later and does the same thing as BTPS

  2. How could I hear my iPhone music from my car’s audio device, when is connected to it via Bluetooth? Is it possible or do i need anything extra mechanism – device? It would be very useful, while it saves me from the cable connection..
