Bluetooth Low Energy Enabler
The application includes an installer with restore images downloaded from the official production flashable images provided by Google.
ROOT REQUIRED!
The code is based on patches I sent to CyanogenMod cm-10.2 should all ready have support for it.

This is the app I've been wanting since I joined the waiting list for a Nexus 10 back in January 2013. You need to root your device first - which is a pain - but it's worth it to join the BLE ecosystem.
Note that the device needs to be rooted before installing this app! Works great on my nexus 7 2012 (first gen). Now I can use it for my tacx cycling trainer :-)
I was able to pair my Microsoft Folding keyboard with my Nexus 10 in less than a minute. Awesome. Thank you.
Rooting was a pain, but it worked on my nexus 7 WiFi tablet.
Works, but it's way too expensive.
expensive, but since there are not other options are out there, I bit the bullet. It work as intended. One less star for abusive pricing.
I wanted to use the Misfit Shine with my old Nexus 7. I was bummed out to find that the Nexus was BT 3.0. I had a little bit of trouble installing this app until I tried turning off Bluetooth first. That was all that was needed. Now I can use my Misfit Shine. Thanks!!!
Works really nice. Thank you!
I downloaded it does not work
There were some issues getting this going on my Nexus 7 2012 with Android 4.4.4, but the developer provided truly incredible support and it's now working perfectly. I can now use my tablet with my new Basis Peak.
Got it downloaded onto my rooted Nexus 10 running Android 5.0.2. It tells me the Device Board is manta and the API Status is "Not Installed". If I hit 'Install' it gets as far as installing ./etc/...bluetooth_le.xml,then pops up a brief "something failed" message. How do I diagnose this? Going to have to give this 1 star since it was a lot of money for an app that simply does not seem to work on my device.
Yes is work with Nexus 7 2012 WiFi (android 5.0)
I had some trouble to get this to work with my 2012 version Nexus 7, but the developer did his absolute best to solve my problem (even over the holidays). Now everything works flawlessly. Can't recommend this app enough if you happen to need BLE support on your nexus 7.
I had some trouble with the KitKat factory image. Developer responds to emails quickly and helped solve my issues!
Works as advertised. Installed on a Nexus 7 updated to the latest factory firmware (Android 5.0). Immediately the Nordic BLE app worked and connected to an nRF51 Dongle.
Great product. Now I have Bluetooth LE. Thanks
I installed it on my unlocked Nexus 10 running Android 4.4.4. After the reboot, my LE device was instantly recognized.
Bluetooth low energy is enabled, I can see my garmin vivofit, but the Bluetooth share service keeps crashing. This doesn't allow me to pair with the vivofit, or other Bluetooth devices. Please fix this in the update. Thanks.
Realy useful to get UP24 from Jawbone working with Nexus 7 2012! All work fine now! Thanks for the great app
Okay, like others, I acknowledge that my wife's Nexus 7 (2012) had to be rooted and that was a bit of a faff if you have never done such a thing before; however, I feel the advantage gained from this app means that I simply can't mark it down for that reason. A full five stars, I did think I was going to have to buy a new tablet or phone until I discovered this app. Thanks Manuel. P.S., I don't fully appreciate what "rooting" does, I have no idea what "busybox" does, and I don't care. Why mention this? Just in case anyone else is concerned about the required preliminary work for this app.
But so is life :) Thanks! Would be 5 stars if it didn't require root, not your fault though, pesky Google want us all to just buy their new devices huh..
Installed this to use my Nexus 7 with my Fitbit. It works perfectly. Now I can use the tablet with other low energy devices too.
Brilliant - worked straight away. Loaded up some code and I was talking to a sample Texas Instruments LE device straight away. If you need LE - buy this. Rooting a Nexus 10 is easy and it only takes a few minutes for your installed apps to re-sync afterwards.
App works perfectly and has enabled Bluetooth Low Energy on my Nexus 10 running Android 4.4 KitKat. I can now sync my Fitbit with my tablet with no issues. Developer was quick to respond to my question. Highly recommend. App gives new abilities to older devices.
Works very well on N7 with Android 4.3 and 4.4.
It does what it says on the tin.
I could not get the Microsoft Mobile 3600 to pair and read that it needed BT 4.0. This app fixed the issue and now it works perfectly. Price is high but obviously the developer can get away with it since nobody else came up with a similar solution.
