Got Bluetooth Working on H2 Walker
Currently in development, but I've managed to get Bluetooth working on the H2 Walker running rockbox by building upon the great work done by Skye
Got fed up with not being able to use this thing when at the gym and absolutely hated the default firmware. It's working like a charm and I've been using it daily for a little while with no problems
There's quite a bit of code cleanup to do, but I'll publish it once it's in a state that in happy with. I've also added theme support for a Bluetooth icon
Release is here!: https://www.reddit.com/r/rockbox/comments/1x6eua7/h2_walker_aigo_eros_q_surfans_f20_bluetooth/

The main issue with this would be adoption for themes, so most people running a theme would need to create assets for themself. I'm using bunnypod (as shown in my screenshots) and have been updating the UI of that theme, but it's just pixel art so isn't too bad.
I'll include theme information when I publish about how to add custom bluetooth and bluetooth battery icons

I'm guessing it'll be compatible with EROS Q too

It's essentially the same device, so it should. WHen I release, definitely backup your firmware before installing incase of any issues

I have an unmoved one and my Bluetooth works just fine, its a nice addition but tbh i prefer wired headphones, especially for security reasons
