I found out how to change the bluetooth's address to whatever i wanted(within in limitations) on finless's 1.8 rom. Which is based off of the jellybean beta(the one with the screeching audio interference). Should work for the ICS os too but haven't tried it and my schedule won't allow me to lol so post if it works. Anyway this is how you do it.
I would post my init.d script to set the address but on jellybean its not necessary once its accepted there's no need to reset it, and I really don't know if the ICS would be compatible with the script(different named files)
In /data/misc/bluetoothd/ will be where your device actually sets and retrieves the bt address.
If your going to change your address go ahead and delete everything in this folder
bt_addr(the file that holds your current address: if the name is different please write it down for the next step)
folders with all the past and present address specific config files(their worthless now due to link keys)
Create a new file and name it bt_addr (or whatever it was called last time if it was different)
In the new file write down your new address only nothing else and save.
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
Replace the XX with 0-9 and ABCDEF (hexadecimal)
Replace the XX with 0-9 and ABCDEF (hexadecimal)
Set the permissions of the file you just created(bt_addr) to 755 or rwx-r-r
Now then go to turn on your bluetooth the first time it might assign a random address but just turn it off then back on and it should be the address you specified in the file.(this usually happens if you've turned on bluetooth before setting the new address)
