For over two years, there have been many scattered posts from people wanting
to be able to use their phones to make and receive calls using hands-free
bluetooth devices. This has been standard with android phones for well over
10 years.
From what I can see with pipewire and wireplumber, and from what others have
said, it is just a matter of creating the proper audio profile
(pipewire/wireplumber configuration) to route the audio between bluetooth and
the modem. If there was proper documentation of the relevant systems I would
figure it out myself and post the solution here.
There are certainly people who understand pipewire/wireplumber well enough
that it would be fairly straightforward for them to solve this problem if
they thought it worth the effort.
I will give $50 to the first person or project (Mobian for example) who,
before June 1, 2024, will come up with a solution compatible with hfp 1.5 and
later, and make it publicly available in a way that the common pinephone
(original) user can make use of it. This could be somthing like an
installable package or upgrade to a package, a script to make changes or, if
it came with complete step-by-step instructions, as a set of edits to
configuration files.
I realize $50 by itself might not be enough motivation so I would ask those
who also need this to at least register their desire for it by taking the
time to add a post to this thread, and for those who can, by also offering
additional money.
Maybe someone with the knowledge just needs to know that people need this.
