Hello all,
I have a question:

I saw in several places on the web text which says, in some
variations,  that "BlueZ has been removed starting from Android  4.2
and the  Broadcom-supplied Bluetooth stack (bluedroid) has replaced
it. It says also that the bluedroid
stack relies on HAL-loading like most other hardware types.

On the other hand I see in the official page,
http://www.bluez.org/
something which I am not sure how to interpret.


I want to resolve my confusion.
So here is my question:
In Android 4.2 and above - is the BlueZ removed ? is the BlueDroid
used instead ? or are they both used?


Regads,
Kevin
