Open Mobile, which is responsible for the ACL, claim it'll have 100 percent compatibility with Google's back catalogue and be just as responsive - some pretty heady statements. Here was a thread compairing Tizen with Sailfish some time ago. If I remember correctly Tizen can NOT use apk like we can in Sailfish it seems like they need to be at least repacked if not re-compiled. I think it was because ACL works this way, but I could be wrong.

Profiles
The Bluetooth technology works with profiles. Profiles define standards to deliver a large choice of services. Profiles use Bluetooth protocols and some profiles even require other profiles.
- Wikipedia page on Bluetooth profiles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_profile
BlueZ is the name of the official Bluetooth stack on Linux. It implements the Bluetooth 4.0 Core specification and supports a large choice of profiles (see the Supported profiles section for a complete list) .
BlueZ official website: bluez.org
Bluetooth agent
Bluetooth connections are generally managed through a Bluetooth agent whose role is to automatically configure and chose the right options to manage Bluetooth connections leaving the user the tasks to chose the devices to connect/disconnect to and enter PIN codes.
The CLI client bluetoothctl come with its own agent but can also use a different one. BlueZ also provides an external Bluetooth agent called simple-agent.
Supported profiles and protocols
Here is a list of all existing profiles and protocols with the ones supported in BlueZ. Note that you can find the complete, updated list of supported profiles and their versions in the file doc/supported-features.txt from the bluez package. Also some profiles/roles depend on external components such as oFono or ConnMan.

BlueZ CLI clients
The BlueZ project provides several CLI clients allowing users to use some of the supported profiles.
bluetooth-player
Allow the user to remotely control media players through he AVRCP profile.
Use example
bluetoothctl
CLI client to manage connections between devices. It includes a default bluetooth-agent.
Use example:
Due to https://bugs.tizen.org/jira/browse/TC-1511, 'power on' fails with 'org.bluez.Error.Blocked' and journalctl reports 'Operation not possible due to RF-kill'. As a workaround, install connman-test, run 'connmanctl' as root, and enter 'enable bluetooth'.
obexctl
CLI client for the FTP profile that manages file transfer and browsing over Bluetooth.
Usage :
BlueZ test tools
This section introduces some of the Bluetooth test tools from the BlueZ project. Those tools are mostly made for development and debugging purposes.
btmon
Bluetooth monitor - Display all HCI commands and events in a human readable format (and with color !). Can dump data in with the btsnoop format.
Note that this format is now supported by Wireshark (1.11.x). Also supported by development libpcap for realtime capturing.
hciconfig
hciconfig is used to configure Bluetooth devices.hciX is the name of a Bluetooth device installed in the system (ie., hci0).
Display Basic Info About Available Bluetooth Devices:
Display Info About A Specific Bluetooth Device:
UP or DOWN A Bluetooth Device Manually:
hcidump
Dump all HCI events and commands
Realize a dump file readable with Wireshark
hcitool
hcitool provides a simplified way of sending commands to the HCI device.
To launch an arbitrary command not present in the command list the command 'cmd' can be used.
For example:
sets the PIN type as fixed. For more details about the commands values, please refer to the Bluetooth Core Specification V.4.1 (https://www.bluetooth.org/DocMan/handlers/DownloadDoc.ashx?doc_id=282159).
list-devices
List paired devices and information about them for all available Bluetooth controllers.
l2ping
Bluetooth layer 2 ping.
mpris-player
Tool to test AVRCP on the player/receiver side.
This tool uses the MPRIS specification which defines a standard way to control media players.
MPRIS specification: http://specifications.freedesktop.org/mpris-spec/latest/
sdptool
sdptool provides the interface for performing SDP queries on Bluetooth devices, and administering a local SDP database called sdpd.
Usage:
The search results can be viewed in three formats XML, RAW and TREE. It also provides option to add/del/get local service.
test-manager
Simple tool that displays available Bluetooth adapters.
External test tools
- Wireshark
- Network analyser with a GUI. Can analyze Bluetooth frames.
- You can open a capture file made with the command 'hcidump -R -w <dest_file>' or 'btmon' with Wireshark.
- Wireshark wiki page on Bluetooth: http://wiki.wireshark.org/Bluetooth
- Tshark
- CLI network analyser. Has the same features as Wireshark.
Using Bluetooth
Connecting devices
The simplest ans easiest way to connect to a device on Tizen is to use the bluetoothctl tool.
A2DP
To connect to and use an A2DP device an A2DP sink or source is required. PulseAudio provides such features. Make sure that PulseAudio is running before attempting a Bluetooth connection otherwise you won't be advertising for A2DP support which will lead in a connection failure with some devices like Bluetooth headsets.
Note that PulseAudio requires the module 'module-bluetooth-discover' to be loaded in order to get A2DP working. You can either:
- Launch it at the same time as PulseAudio
- Load it while PulseAudio is working (not tested)
- Get it automatically loaded at PulseAudio launch by adding a few lines in its configuration file (called default.pa by default and generally located in /etc/pulse/). Note that those lines are already present in the default configuration file.

Reference / Links
AVRCP
If the AVRCP profile is supported by the remote device, the remote control feature should automatically work once the two devices are connected. Note that AVRCP requires the A2DP profile.
To test the AVRCP profile on the receiver side use the mpris-player test-tool.
To test the AVRCP profile on the controller side use the bluetooth-player CLI client.
Reference / Links
HID
Connecting a mouse or a keyboard
Getting a wireless mouse or keyboard to work on Tizen should be pretty straightforward since the only thing to do is to establish the Bluetooth connection.
Using Bluetoothctl
bluetoothctl might ask you to enter a PIN code; if so, just enter '0000' which is the default PIN code generally used by devices without display and keyboard.
Note that Bluetooth features are only supported on reference target devices, not on the SDK Emulator.
Specification for Tizen mobile :
{ Mobile device implementations SHOULD implement the Audio/Video Remote Control Profile(AVRCP) and the Object Exchange (OBEX) protocol.}

Tizen is a mobile operating system developed by Samsung that runs on a wide range of Samsung devices, including
- smartphones
- tablets, in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) devices
- smart televisions
- smart cameras
- smartwatches
- Blu-ray players
- smart home appliances (refrigerators, lighting, washing machines, air conditioners, ovens/microwaves)
- robotic vacuum cleaners.
In 2010 Samsung was developing the Samsung Linux Platform (SLP) for the LiMo Foundation, whilst Intel and Nokia were leading the MeeGo project, another open source Linux mobile OS. In 2011 the MeeGo project was abandoned by its peers with Intel joining forces with Samsung to create Tizen, a new project based on code from SLP. The Linux Foundation also cancelled support of MeeGo in favor of Tizen. In 2013 Samsung merged its homegrown Bada project into Tizen
