yeah, no need for custom roms or anything. I mainly want the ability to choose my own launcher and addition of the full bluetooth stack. The full bluetooth stack would allow things like:
  • Bluetooth data tethering (as opposed to wifi)
  • High refresh rate (10hz) GPS sensors for datalogging
  • Pairing with my radar detector's smartcord so that i can use Escort Live (skip to 1:34 if the link doesn't take you there [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7PJPshCixU#t=94"]Escort Live Radar Detector Interface - YouTube[/ame] )


One other benefit would be the ability to reprogram the Radio and GPS buttons. If it works like i think it does, it should be pretty simple. From what I can tell, the GPS button launches the "carnavi" app which is just a symbolic link to your default GPS app. My assumption is that the radio button works the same way. In theory, you would be able to have the radio and GPS button launch whatever app you desire (poweramp, torque, tunein, etc).
