Known issues:
- Some devices need to pair 2~3 times to succeed. You might also need to change Bluetooth class while pairing.
- If cursor moving is slow on first time use, you'd need to stop Bluetooth discovery/search on computer right after pairing
- Your Bluetooth might have issue if the device does not has compatible bluetooth software stack with AOSP. To recover it, please make sure to use 'Uninstall' button in Bluetooth# app to clean up the patch. Please do NOT use default system 'Uninstall' from Settings. It can not clean up the patch installed by Bluetooth+ app .
