Please bear with me.
**When a device has AptX, on Bluetooth connection, the Bluetooth volume is automatically set to Maximum. I sort of know this because all my AptX devices do this.
I know the hTC One had AptX on its original firmware (and did the above**). I updated to Android 4.3 and subsequently converted to rooted GPe (now with a custom kernel ([Kernel][Jan29][Sense4.4.2&JB/GPe]teaMSeven2.3.6[Flick2Wake|TapWake|BLN|Hotplug|OC|Pano360] by tbalden)
From what I seem to remember Android 4.3 did not seem to have AptX (above**). I contacted hTC and they seem to suggest it had AptX compatibilty and suggested I wipe the cache (but converted to GPe before I could try that.
My current set up (Rooted GPe with tbalden's Kernel) does not seem to do the above** and my understanding is it does not have AptX
My question is does the official GPe has AptX support and is there at to check?
check logcat for apt-x or Bluetooth entries when you connect aptx enabled Bluetooth headsets. use catlog for easier filtering. you'll either get sbc or aptx mode..

Hey guys,
I'm running freedom os and recently got a pair of mdr-1000x's. The headphones support aptx and aptx-hd, as does the ROM. Is there a way to determine what codec is in use over bluetooth? Everything sounds amazing, just wanting to make sure I get the best bang for buck.
It's working for me. I have the LG-HBS-780 BT neckband set and was able to tell it works by trying it on 2 different devices. My Moto X Pure doesn't have AptX enabled but FreedomOS 2.9 does. The sound difference was incredible!! I don't have ARISE / Viper4Android installed, decided it wasn't needed.
also for me with m1bt philips
lastest beta 8 from oxygenos
developper option, network, lastest choice is support hd aptx/aptx, check if enabled
regards
Yep there is noticeable difference! (Changed from Open Beta 8 to 4.1.5)

I'm assuming this toggle is available only on Beta 8? I'm on 4.1.5 Freedom OS and I'm not seeing it under dev->network.

My own MDR-1000x work fine in beta8 BUT when WiFi is also active might sometimes have lost packets (and sound cracks), that gets fixed if I disable WiFi.
Quality is definitely better than on default SBC but is still clearly inferior to a wired connection (as long as you are using a good FLAC as a source). So I am waiting for AndroidO and LDAC (which 1000x does support :good: )
If you're on an open beta > 8, or a Freedom CE build based on a >OB8 build it should be working. Stable Freedom is just based on the stable OOS builds and it does not work. I found a magisc module that added the drivers, but I wasn't convinced it worked right so I gave up on it.
If you use a catlog reader you can search for codec while you're playing audio through blutooth, it should say aptx or SBC. If it says SBC then aptx is not working.

Was able to look at the logs and see SBC. I'll look at the magisk module. Thanks for the heads up.
Hi guys,
I have a question concering LDAC on OOS 5.0 or other custom roms.
I just bought me some 1000xm2 Headphones and thought i can just update my Phone to Oreo and will be able to get some high quality bluetooth music. But it looks like LDAC isnt working. Someone mentioned libaries are missing. U can choose it on the bt audio settings but it wont work.
So is there a workaround for this problem or any custom rom that supports LDAC?
Thx in advance

Hi,
Apparently LDAC codec in OP3T Oreo ROM is working, just it displays wrong information on developer settings
Just now I try my luck to find 1000XM2 but instead of that i found 1ABT, since that one is also LDAC capable so I tried that
Guess what, the Bluetooth codec show in developer settings is show wrong
aptx and aptxHD doesn't included inside the ROM, but LDAC does loaded (see the logcat I captured at attachment, first one is aptx and aptxHD can't load due to lib missing, second one is LDAC is indeed working properly)
But still I do hope that xda would bring this issue up since this is the serious matter that Qualcomm did put OnePlus 3 and 3T on aptx codec enabled device, but then they didn't implement due to "cause prohlem"? This sounds weird for me
Ok, thx for your answer, will try it 2morrow.
Cheers,

US at&t 9.0, unkodified. I can select bluetooth audio settings in developer mode butnthey revert back to default upon disconnection. Any way to make permanent?
Not yet it seems as others have reported the same issue
This is my default Bluetooth Codec on ATT official Pie update. I never checked this on 8.1, does anyone know what it was set to on 8.1 and is this what you guys are talking about?

Here is my snapdragon SM-N960W stock Bluetooth settings on Oreo v8.1.0
Mine revert back to this any time I try changing them. Only one that sticks is Bluetooth AVRCP I can run it from 1.4 up to 1.6. The rest always revert to the same as yours. See my stock note 9 screenshot.
Bluetooth Codec only sticks if an bluetooth audio device is connected and if this device also supports the selected codec. Else the codec always reverts back to sbc.
When I connect my bluetooth headphones for example it switches automatically from sbc to abtx, as this was the codec I last used with this device. Same with other devices and codecs.
note 9 with Sony WH1000 XM3
Just found that if you go to the Sony app:
Sound quality mode = Priority on sound mode
Then go back to developer options the bluetooth audio codec jumps to aptx and stays there.
Not as good as LDAC but better than SBC.
Hi all,
Would like to check if there is any way of installing APTX-HD on rooted note 9?
I've tried multiple methods including APTX for Android Oreo & Pie from Magisk.
May i know if anybody has gotten it to work?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you very much!

From what i heard APTX-HD will not work correctly on a Note 9! As it needs to send tons of bluetooth packets it will skip cut out etc, that's why the devs did not include it! LDAC is the best, stick with that codec!

I have several apt-x HD supported devices and I never got it to work. LDAC support is fantastic, as is standard APT-X.
Using sony WH-1000xm2 when selecting SBC, AAC, APT-X or LDAC from developer options will briefly stop the sound whilst it jumps to that codec, no such luck with APT-X HD. I don't believe that the codec is actually implemented on the Note9.
AptX-HD was supported on the Oreo version of the Note9.
I have two Level Pro headphones and after the Android Pie update lost the UHQ audio function from the Level app.
If you looked, you got LDAC and SBC, no AptX or HD.
Then I submit a bug report and they only brought back AptX on the latest version.
I think Samsung it's just trying to push their new Buds as the Level brand is being discounted in many markets.
Also Video Pro Mode was available on the Note9 and removed on the Pie update.
Now I can add my wife had the S8 Plus and she lost the UHQ audio from her Level app.
She went back to Apple at this time as they have better codec support.
Personally I am planning to get the Xperia that has 4K screen and yes, a long list of audio codecs and features.
Samsung keeps playing games, Qualcomm still supports Apt LL and HD, the hardware supports it but it is Samsung decision to remove it.
What's happening with aptx support in Android 10?
When Samsung removed AptX in Android Pie, I send an actual bug report with their support team, it was a pain, because they ask you to reset it then jump hoops.
At the end, they acknowledged that AptX should be "At least supported" because their line of Level headphones run on AptX and AptX HD.
Then I can say, with the next update, they added AptX to the list of supported codec.
Sony and many others are pushing LDAC for their headphones so probably just drop Samsung.

Are you saying that in Andoid 10 they have added AptX support to the Galaxy Note 9 again?
Are you sure?
If this is true, this is great news

I'm on a Sprint Note9(Snapdragon) UI. 2.0. Android 10.
The big difference is AptX supports 16Bit 48KHz and AptXhd support 24Bits also 48 KHz.
Here screenshots.
The phone does not support aptx, aptx hd and ldac anymore (it did earlier). I have confirmed this with a ldac enabled device.
Honor support did not know how to resolve the issue and arranged a callback with they never did.
The device is running emui 9.1.0.382.
New user therefore can't post external link or images.
I'm using honor play running on emui 9.1
Are you sure that it doesn't support ldac??
it still supports aptx-hd. Are you sure your phone is turned on?
I have all but LDAC. Was it removed on purpose ?And why ?
Weird because in search it still shows LDAC but not in BT codec list in developer settings
