Nexus 5 - aptX - Nexus 5 General

Hi guys, i saw a couple of posts asking about whether nexus 5 supports apt-X or not, i've bought a LGS-730 bluetooth headset and i can confirm that nexus 5 doesn't have the necessary codec to run apt-X. For those who don't know, apt-X is simply a codec that makes bluetooth headsets sound better and without lag. So, no apt-X with nexus 5. Im kinda dissapointed since htc one and S4 all have this codec, but whatever.

I believe LG G2 supports apt-X but not N5. We can't have everything with only 399$

It's just a codec though from what I cab read on the OP. I'm sure a dev can port it from the g2 if anything. I don't think codecs are really that much more expensive lol.

Yes, Nexus 5 support APT-X
You can download the file here:

Htc nexus one ?

now the deisre phone is getting an update for 720 p recoring and such and why cant the nexus get an update with more features????? is this possible will we see such features coming out for our beloved nexus one??? cmon!!
i know we already got 720 with rooted phones but none rooted i mean??
I asked about this earlier and apparently google dosent care about nexua one owners and we will never get feature updates. Kinda makes me mad when i was choosing between an n1 and desire. The only thing hding me off the desire was north american 3g but now it has it.

the nexus one is still google's dev phone of choice and will be selling it through their dev page.
not to mention that it got froyo before any other device.

beside if any the os updates where are the manufacture updates?? htc??? adding radio and such and 720 p and much more??? not been rooted of course??
it is Google Nexus one, not HTC Nexus one. Google is responsible for updates.
Even though they have stopped the retail store, that doesn't mean they stopped supporting the phone.
It will be sold to devs and as far as we know Google will still update as, as it is their flagship device.

Google already added a new radio with FroYo. As mentioned, HTC is out of the picture
I believe he meant FM radio
We will get the regular os updates but apparently google wont add features like 720p video or fm radio even though the n1 supports it.

If you bought a nexus one for support from google shame on you. Its about the developer community and 720p video for nexus one has been around for months on cyanogen's roms.
Not rooting your nexus one is wasting your devices potential. Get another phone if you don't want to root

i know it has but all tend to struggle like for example the fm radio still a failure if only we had drivers for such on the nexus one but still no realease and from who?? google??
I didnt buy the n1 for google's support but i atleast thought they would let the phone work at its full potential( fm radio , 720p video, wireless N) Even though google dosent want to support it why not give the developer community a break and atleast give them the drivers and let them implement it. as for not rooting my phone, i dont want to void my warranty with over 10 months remaining in it, I'm not saying i wont root i will root it later on but for now i'll keep it stock for atleast till my warranty is over.
Every loves to rave about how awesome it is to have "vanilla android" on the nexus one.
Well, here we are, this IS vanilla android......and it's not that exciting. Until you see native HD recording* support in AOSP you won't see it on the nexus.
*won't happen soon as it's hardware dependent and not ubiquitous yet, by the time HD video recording on camera phones because run of the mill, well the nexus will be sitting in the same position the g1 is right now.

There's nothing to "give" developers. Google Nexus team never looked into HD recording support, or FM radio support, that means there's not drivers, no nothing. They're not sitting on safe filled with magical files. The only reason the latest 2.2 update has N driver support is because qualcomm wrote the drivers for a chip that is in nearly every single handheld wifi device.
The desire is currently getting support for 720p video and it has support for fm radio, that technically means we have the necessary drivers to enable fm radio and 720p video recording on nexus one which should have the same quality as the desire. just wondering has anyone actually got the froyo update on the desire and has any dev been able to pull the drivers out the desire software?

Yes and no, but that's not even the issue. Htc has no incentive to share it's work with google, unless google pays for it, which they have shown they are not interested in. They are competing companies when it comes to selling a retail phone.
Yeah I don’t understand the people that get a nexus one and don’t root.. I honestly feel that’s the whole point of the “dev phone”... If you don’t root, there are many other android phone out there that have superior stock features and hardware.... And froyo is only 1-2 months released earlier on the n1...

[DEV] Atrix : Voodoo Sound similar method / Its a WM8993!

Hello all,
According to my depth researches, I'v summed up bits into a package:
- Atrix MB860 does have Wolfson WM9803L DAC chip. (1-?) (Even though all Tegra 2 AP20H should have the same SoC, but after a lot of questions, AP20H {Ventana} stands out for handheld performance (CPU, GPU), power only) Update: Wrong!
- The Asus Transformer uses Tegra 2 T20 , Wolfson WM9803L chip. Does have Voodoo sound support. Based on V1 voodoo drivers.
- I'v got into the same confusion about the 'L' in 'WMxxxxX'; The DAC is based on 2 revisions, both ends with L. Useless
- They both use same SoC implementation, very similiar drivers, nearly same headers. (Based on my own research.)
- Supercurio did not support the Atrix 4G, due its locked bootloader based on the V1 driver date of WM8903L. (So, he might not look back, Wolfson's WM1811 on the road) Update: Atrix 4G = Optimus 2x/Galaxy R
I know I might seem like asking questions, but it should also be considered as a dump project based on both devices. Plus, opening opportunities on other Tegra 2 hard/soft-ware porting.
I don't agree with the idea ignoring 1+ yr old phones with such capabilities...
I consider it just like the fame of the Gi9000, <<<Voodoo = major plus.
P.S. : Supercurio once stated that, Atrix 4G has a diff implementation... Though, after chatting over the IRC, he stated that he do not touch locked bootloader based phones. Thats totally different story. Diff implementation means indirect hardware access, using NVRAM i2c communication (registers)
Big thanks for supercurio, making our phones more valuable. Not anymore... -__-
Thank you all
I will appreciate any help/comment/feedback/correction/response.

Thats Bla bla bla above...
Conclusion: Voodoo sound is communicating with #? low level registers with the DAC. Same as what ALSA mixer do when modifying STdac (ICS leak). Unfortunately, Atrix uses OSS on GB, or barebone ALSA thought thats not a problem.
Project STATUS:
Found the right DAC, its WM8993!! Developers/Anyone try Optimus 2x Voodoo sound driver using the patch, patch it to the kernel (WIP)... Loading Voodoo Sound Plus modules didn't work :/
Alternative to Voodoo app coming soon for Atrix/Optimus2x/GalaxyR Tegra 2 Ventana
Workaround for ICS Leak kernel and Kernel 3.x (that includes tiny-ALSA), install AlsaMixer from Play, modify STDac Only While listening to music (be sure not to leave the head/earphones on) to 15. Now you can drive 300 ohms headphones (Though its still limited, shows 10db but not exact) Note: When you remove the earphones or stop music for 5 secs, settings will revert.
List of the confusing/wrong info about Tegra 2 DAC links:

http://www.head-fi.org/t/549644/moto...-sound-quality That guy heard from xda! ^
http://androidforums.com/motorola-at...ola-atrix.html Those are the guilty ones (kidding ), they referred to Tegra 250, thats Harmony used in Tablets not Vantanna 250. :silly:
Having Voodoo sound on the Atrix would be great! I had a Samsung Vibrant before my Atrix, and Voodoo sound was pretty nice! I really like how it sounded and all the settings that it had.
One that i miss for sure is the ability to make the sound mono. I haven't found how to do it on my Atrix yet.
Keep the good work dude! Hope to see it done soon! If it can be done.
I'll be glad to see voodoo sound capabilities on my atrix.Wish you can port this without any problem.

Mono can be done as a software wise.
Use Poweramp, it has the mono DSP feature.
Good luck.
As stated guys, still haven't got my Atrix, and wish me a luck getting it .91 bootloader :/
bets of luck!! and it will be one hellova feat if u can pull this off ... i have used sgs, nexus s and sgs2 with voodoo ( yes i have purchasrd it from market )... and it makes them a formidable music player rival... i'd really really love to see it for ATRIX also
My friend had this on his Samsung Galaxy Tab and I have been jealous of him ever since lol. I was hoping someone would port it but had given up. I'm glad to see someone is on the case!

Guys, I need your help.

Or at Play store: Z-DeviceTest
I wan't an info about the DAC. Since i still don't have my Atrix 4G.
Just curious about the WM8903, this info was based on some rumors, a confirmation surely helps, since most tegra 2 ap20h are based on WM8990
EDIT: My Atrix is comming after 2 days...

Yes I already read it
However, the last link was a guess before the Atrix release i guess, though, what they said is about the Tegra 250 T20 not the A20HP...
All T20 has the WM8903L, while all the A20HP has the WM8990. Thats the confusing part, however, when i get the Atrix, Ill be analyzing the implementation they are using... Might be indirect driver, but i dont think so (Inside a SoC=Direct)
Confusing topic also: http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/shenit-com/18404-tegra-t250-vs-tegra-t20-same-thing.html
What also worries me about the Moto X2. It does have Tegra 2 Ventana. No voodoo sound support, or at least DAC lookout. I don't think there is any A20HP with WM8903 (Does moto play with the sound layer? It should be strict since its a SoC)
I'm not sure between an implementation fault, or lack of support (VoodooSound author). (Though the GS is old)...
Dude, tell me if there is any way i can help you. This is something i really want to help with this project.
Now this is the way for the diff. between T20/T2 ...
http://www.toradex.com/Products/Colibri/Modules/Colibri-T20
And guys, this thread is leaning towards dumping, which clarification can be simplified by yes or no (nothing new), due to poor documentation etc...
And please, can anyone test this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=zausan.zdevicetest&hl=en
It only shows the DAC name on SoC based systems...
Worked with Galaxy R. Result: WM8990 ...
Can't wait to get the Atrix. I'm eager about it...
Plus, I won't lean to the software part, only hardware.
In case it needs to be re-developed, I will work only on the driver. (More to C orientation / kernel...)
Edit: okay, thanks Night Walker! ! For testing the app
Okay guys,
Anybody owns one of these devices except the Atrix:
T2-A20HP:LG Optimus 2X, Motorola Atrix 4G, Motorola Droid X2, Motorola Photon, Samsung Galaxy R, Samsung Captivate Glide
Other: i9023, i9000, Galaxy Tab.
If yes, try the same app above, seems the only app that shows the chip info through alsa...
O2X uses different implementation, thats why supercurio gave a deep shot supporting it, even though, it only supports bits of the original voodoo capabilities...
Can't wait for the new Kaudio driver, might work with the Atrix with no SoC mods.
Just another sound driver made specifically for voodoo. (LG uses its own implementation to the DAC, its driver)

I'm unfortunately not a dev, but is there any way I can help with this project?
Guys, sorry for the delay, got ill. And yes, I know your intentions towards support...
I still haven't got my hands 'tight' on the project, got distracted by setting it up... (the Atrix kernel compilation errors)
Anyways, thanks guys, it certainly needs a (low level dev. me) I'm not a high-level programmer, more into hardware level (intermediate) But this project doesn't seem hard to accomplish, but poor documentation does it... ( IT is based on low level programming )

Nexus 6 change for something new

I'm wondering what should I pick , Galaxy S8 or oneplus 5, one of these will be for about 2 years of usage. Good camera, very fast and responsive system, and these are for exactly the same price in my country.
Personally, I'd never buy a Samsung...
I'm very happy with my OP3T though, that replaced my Shamu.
I am waiting for Essential PH-1 or Pixel XL 2

Honestly, if you're on XDA and you own a Nexus chances are you want the freedom reliability and customization of a Nexus device, I own the Nexus 6 OP3/T and I'm getting my Op5 in the mail soon. It was an easy choice for me. So I hope this helps:

You're saying they are the same price, but are they? OnePlus 5 has 8gb of RAM/128GB of storage and Dual Cameras with Optical Zoom and timely updates and Open Source OxygenOs.
I know Samsung has this ridiculously long feature list but they lack all crucial Android things in my opinion. I'm not gonna list every one but the main one for me is the spirit of Android: "Open Source"
In conclusion: if you do decide to get the OnePlus 5 the entire community is with you and please use my referral link :highfive:

You have Sprint? Not too sure if it'll work, they say that they have 34 different antennae so maybe bcuz the phone is unlocked. I have At&t and apparently Some people are already reporting to be getting blazingly fast LTE+ speeds. I live in Urban NY so hoping this is true.

It's more complex with Sprint (and maybe Verizon) than just having the correct frequencies. At least with Sprint, the trick includes getting activated on the network. Someone in the OP5 forum is actually working through the process this week.

I know exactly what you're talking about. Back when Google was selling the Nexus 6/p I read a topic on this extensively (for no apparent reason but just to be aware on the topic). People with Iphones, and Nexuses bought from Google had to call up Sprint and add their MEID/IMEI's to the database. I'm thinking, in theory it shouldn't be a problem especially since they have BYOD(Bring Your Own Device) plans. Idk how they operate with dualSIM devices though.

OOS is not open source. I cannot go to github, or whever the source is stored, and read and compile it myself. Android Core is released under Apache, but not Google's goodies(hence why AOSP is so bare nowadays; Google has closed the vast majority of your basic apps) The only reason why the kernel source gets pushed is because OnePlus has a legal obligation to do so since they used the Linux kernel which is licensed under GPL
