Disable support for FEATURE_AUDIO_LOW_LATENCY / Bluetooth audio issues - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This may be an odd question and I might be completely out of my depth. I got a swanky new set of bluetooth headphones for my Nexus 6 earlier this week so that I can surreptitiously play more games with audio at work. I noticed a handful of the games I wanted to play had incredibly bizarre sound distortions.
Doing some digging and asking elsewhere pointed me to a defect in the Unity engine that describes this exact case. (Tried to post a URL here but apparently I have too few posts. Unity Issue tracker 758142)
Apparently this is a feature that is only supported by some devices, so I was hoping there might be a way to bypass or toggle this feature until the Unity defect is fixed and some of these game makers update their apps.
Any pointers?

Okay, seemed to have figured it out myself:
Using Root Explorer, renamed /etc/permissions/android.hardware.audio.low_latency.xml to .bak and restarted
Some games not having the issue, now.
Make a backup!

Only supported by some phones or only supported by some bluetooth devices?

Only supported by certain phones, apparently. Here's the relevant extract from the android configuration XML mentioned in my reply comment:
Code:
<!-- This is the feature indicating low-latency audio, as specified by the
CDD. ONLY devices that meet the CDD's requirements may declare this
feature. -->
<permissions>
<feature name="android.hardware.audio.low_latency" />
</permissions>

this could help fixing some games, but it's lowering the sound quality.

could someone give me a backup of this file ?

I'm not sure I follow you. The OP talks about renaming the file to prevent it getting used. Did you try that, but delete it instead?
Anyway, you should use the version of the file that belongs to your rom. If you deleted that, just dirty-flash your rom to get it back.
If your rom comes without the file, then we must assume that the rom developer found that to be the best. Talk to your dev if he is active.
If you just dump an old version of the file into a new rom, there is no telling what will happen. But feel free to try. The contents of the file is listed in a previous post.

Okay, I just read some more. This file doesn't seem to change the system behavior. It just sets a flag that apps can read and that tells them that the phone supports low latency.
In the OP's case, some games used different code when they found the flag, leading to the problem. But I assume that that has been fixed long ago.
You can find the original file here:
https://android.googlesource.com/pl...ta/etc/android.hardware.audio.low_latency.xml
I looked at the folder indicated, but on my rom (Nitrogen Pie) the file isn't there. However, if I can trust the app I used (System Info for Android), the flag is set anyway. So it seems it gets set elsewhere.

thanks bro, but i already flashed the ROM again, sorry for late reply

[APP] BraviaControl: Control your Sony Bravia Smart TV

Download from the Store.
I purchased a Sony Bravia KDL-40EX525 a few months ago and noticed that there were official remote control apps for Android and iPhone from Sony but, unfortunatelly, not for WP7 (not even an unofficial one). Since I own a LG Optimus 7 I got curious about this and started to develop something similar for myself, specifically because I hate using the stock remote control to enter text.
I based my work on this blog post http://blogs.msdn.com/b/andypennell...ws-phone-7-5-mango-part-1-ssdp-discovery.aspx. Many thanks to Andy Pennell for that, his post was really helpful and a great starting point.
The app requires you to be on the same network as the TV.
If you want to try this make sure the TV is ON (give it time to initialize the services. It cannot be turned on/off with this app because it has to talk to the IRCC service that is only available when the device is ON). See the screen of your TV the first time you run the app because it requires that you register your device in order to be able to iterate.
I appreciate your feedbacks, suggestions, bug report or questions that you may have.
Tested on models:
- KDL-40EX525 (mine)
- KDL-32HX758 (thanks lordmaxey)
It should work on:
- Blu-ray Disc(TM) players: BDP-S370, S470, S570, S770, S1700, BX37, BX57, S380, S480, S580, S780, BX38, BX58, S390, S490, S590, S790, BX39, BX59, NSZ-GP9

Hi!
I wanted to try your app, but my television (w655) didn't want to agree on that.
Are you maybe willing to share the source code of the app?
Or do you want to check why it's not working?
Thanks!

Hey there,
I've been researching a little bit about it before. It looks like Sony changed completely the way to remote control in latest models, specially W series. No documentation about that. So, the only way to try to discover how it works now, is to have a W series to try with (which I do not have)
Sorry about that.
What you can do is try to discover how the new service works by yourself, so we can expand the compatibility of the App. If you are interested, I can guide you with some clues, tools and techinches I used in the past to do so.
I may open the code, I haven't even considered it but I think it's a good idea.

I've been playing with our 2013 model a couple of days now, and it seems the controls still works (compatible with 2012) but the registration process is not necessary anymore...
Anyway, if you put the code somehwere, i'll try if it works somehow
thanks!

Sounds good, give me a couple of days to set it up and will let you know.
In the meantime, does your device description xml look like this one? http://www.upnp-database.info/device.jsp?deviceId=662 (See Description XML tab). If so, you may want to try ScalarWebAPI service on your modes. In that xml you can get some urls that will return some valuable (or not) information that may give you some clues.
Stay tunned,

I'm not sure you model actually supports to be remote controlled as it isn't event listed by sony as supported (see supported models above).
Does the app find your model? (be sure both are connected to the same lan)

Hey, sorry for the delay on sharing the code, I changed laptop and had to re-setup my dev env. Will try to have it done for the weekend.
In the meantime...I wonder what all this urls return:
http://192.168.1.54/sony/guide
http://192.168.1.54/sony/system
....
http://192.168.1.54/sony/irCommandProxy
Basically everything under <av:X_ScalarWebAPI_ServiceList> from dmr.xml. Actually, I would try any url available in that file
We should see where getRemoteCommandList api is located (together with other relevant APIs)
In previous models it was returned as a result from http://192.168.1.54/cers/ActionList.xml. It should be somewhere else now.
Also, did you confirmed that there is no registration required now at all?
Thanks!!!

just browsing to the "site" just gives an empty page...
it only reply's on json requests
all commands i've found so far are from capturing traffic from my android tablet
check here: http://mendelonline.be/sony/sony.txt
further, the "register" function exists, but it not really necesarry...
i noticed the sony tablet app registering, but i can just send commands from upnpspy directly from my pc without registering...
another thingy: wol is just basic wake on lan
I received an email from the creator of the windows app that works for our 2013 model bravia. (http://falcosoft.hu/softwares.html#sony_virtual_remote)
Hi,
I would like to share my experiences with you, maybe it can help in the
investigation of the new API structure.
1. The registered status is not required in 2011/12 Sony TV models either to
send pure IRCC SOAP messages (or use the X_SendIRCC UPnP service) .
2. The registered status is required to get meaningful response from url
based API functions (e.g sendText, getText, getRemoteCommandList etc..)
So just an idea: You should try to test these new URL based commands with a
registered status. To achieve this:
1. You should make a new registration and send these data with your browser
2. Use an existing registration e.g. Falcosoft's Sony Virtual Remote and
send the program's data with your browser.
I suggest to use Firefox with Modify Headers plugin. For option 2 here are
the required header fields:
'X-CERS-DEVICE-ID' -> 'vaio:11111111-D7A0-11DD-119C-6D990C3C4529' ;
'X-CERS-DEVICE-INFO' -> 'falco_virtual_remote' ;

Interesting fact that that app works for you. I think this is because that app uses some hardcoded data by default while BraviaControl completely relies on the APIs exposed by the services. It looks like some APIs where left there "hidden" for backward compatibility purposes. I think we should try something like: Cannot find the APIs?, try to force the use. In your case, it may partially (or completely, why not?) work.
Anyway, all that json conversation looks like to be the new way to comunicate with the TV, so, it will be nice to implement that sometime too.
Thanks! I have already set up the code in the cloud. Will be sending the details on how to access it soon (Sorry, I don't currently have very much time free for this project, so bear with me )

[Q] Change CM10.1 to work in Tablet mode

Just recently pulled my old DS7 out of the corner and after seeing, nvflashed this really great Unofficial CM10.1 for Dell Streak 7 ROM on it. Works great, apart from the one tiny problem - it thinks it's a phone ... I already used Uninstall Master to remove some Phone features, such as: SIM Toolkit(it's called Mobile Data i think?), Messaging and Mobile Network Configurator. Was wondering how or where can I change or modify the settings related to how the Cyanogenmod acts as a Phone or a Tablet so that many apps from Play Store wouldn't default to the portrait mode.
On a sidenote - thanks to giveen and anyone involved in making this really awesome CM port to DS7 :good:

Understandable, but since I have a Wi-Fi only version I wanted to know if It's possible to change this in form of a setting or a few lines inside a configuration file without involving compiling. I even faintly remember stumbling upon something like this on a CM9 version I had on my old Xperia MT15i Neo ... if only I could remember or find where or how (currently strolling through the developer and CM10 related menus) - deleted my Xperia related bookmarks when I sold it.
p.s. - people mentioned some problems with the on-screen keyboard disappearing as described in one of the posts on the main CM10.1 thread, I've noticed them myself too and they tend to be application specific ... it feels like the keyboard crashes or force-closes due to not enough memory, like in lighter applications the keyboard works fine, but when trying to use the keyboard for writing for example a post in the comments section in a website will most likely result in keyboard disappearing after first input character.
So I am still trying to figure out why you started a new thread about this and what your question is.
To remove mobile data completely requires a new compile, something that cannot be done right now for a variety of reasons.
I guess I simply went too far off topic while trying to explain why I'm writing here... sorry.
So, to clear things up, the question still remains the same - what can I do to make it act more like a tablet and less like a phone on my Wi-Fi only DS7. So what I'm trying to find in the developer and CM menus is if I can more or less simply switch between some sort of "phone" and "tablet" mode so that some applications from Play store wouldn't default to portrait view mode.
And I noted that I've already uninstalled/disabled (call it how you want - I can restore them from the Unnstallers Recycle Bin if something weird starts to occur) some of the system .apks and as You already pointed out:
To remove mobile data completely requires a new compile, something that cannot be done right now for a variety of reasons.

... so thanks for clarifying that and no need to do any special versions - it's just fine how it is now. I didn't come here to request anything to be compiled or modified for me but just to ask for info, heck, I wasn't even expecting You to be answering on this thread.

I make it my special concern to answer questions, even if it with sarcasm
I'm not sure what more you can do besides deleting the phone. Comment out in build.prop the rild stuff
I wonder if he is referring to TabUI? Which I as well am trying to relocate the flash able .zip which enabled this display difference. I have been running cm10.1 2/12 because of the sensors not working on the 2/14 build.
Sorry to piggyback the thread, but is there an answer for where the tab ui .zip is for the 2/12 build?

Phone crashing when playing certain videos

Hello. I happen to experience something similar to this one here:
"I found any video encoded with ffmpeg color levels filtering crashes my phone! Does this happen to you, too?
It happened both pre- and post-upgrade. (Both versions are 5.1, "stock-ish".) Just put the file in /sdcard and try to view it. Immediate crash for me, every time. Give it a try! It's a small file. This seems like a serious Android bug, but it could just be that something's wrong with my phone. (I had to attach it as a .zip, but the file should be unzipped when you test it.)
Edit: I found out it's a bug in HTC's video drivers. I can't find the link, but someone else here on XDA actually patched the kernel for his m7, but I don't know whether he submitted a bug, and I assume HTC isn't going to fix this unless someone exploits it to gain root or install malware."
Anyone familiar with this? Thanks

I'm on B10 right now, with a new update to B15 pending from this afternoon.
Part of the update to B15 has me concerned: "Added a new application, WeShare"
What is WeShare, do I need it, can I uninstall it (easily)? I can find precious little about it - a relatively poorly rated app on the Google Play store, and as a Google search result, possibly some way of making "extra money." I've been happy with this phone and its software (minus Yahoo Sports) so far, but my skeevy sense is ringing here. Should it be?
Unfortunately its not easily uninstallable, you can disable it. When initially running WeShare it asks for a lot of permissions such as GPS, read/write into your files, I just didnt bother touching it at all.

Just got B15 today myself. After reading your post pointing out the installation of "WeShare," there is, indeed, painfully little online about it. The "WeShare" Apps on Google Play appear to be unrelated. No idea who wrote it (ZTE or a vendor). I took the chance to authorize the permissions (I have nothing of great value to lose), and it appears the App is, essentially, a media-sharing App for transferring stuff to another (especially a new) phone. It also appears to have a Backup & Restore feature. Haven't used any part of it yet. I'll do some more research and post if I find anything more.

I did some more research and found an older version of WeShare on Google Play, with a similar but different icon. In B15, the icon is a white paper airplane on a medium green background. The older version (6.2.8.2462), for the Chinese market, is a white paper airplane on a lighter green and yellowish background. The good news is it's a ZTE product; the listed developer is "中兴通讯" which is ZTE in Chinese, and the contact is a ZTE employee at the Chinese domain.
As a newbie, I can't post URLs, but if you search for 中兴通讯 WeShare at Google Play, you'll find it.
This update seems to make Marshmallow more stable. Before the update, I had problems with Blue Mail constantly crashing. However I haven't had this problem with Blue Mail or any other app. since installing the update. Also, battery life barely drains at all on standby. It's almost as good as turning the phone off.
It looks like the camera blur issue is solved through this patch.
Looks like it solved the Nova Launcher issue. Haven't had any memory leak/lag issues.

I'm playing 24bit 96.0KHz Flac files and they work fine on the default music player and other downloadable android music players after the update. Maybe there's an issue with just 192khz ones? idk. I don't have any of those on my device right now.
Just got a new Axon Pro and I was wondering if 0B15 was the last update this device got? I am not worried about nougat because I know we wont get it nor will any developer be able to do it. But can someone confirm if this A1PV1.1.0B15 was the latest one for A1P?
New update

New api
I wrote to ZTE and have been told that the Axon Pro will not receive any additional updates. As far as they are concerned, the phone is dead.

help needed to port a system apk

Hi , oneplus devices have a notification whenever an aptx bluetooth headphone is connected LG v30 doesn't have this feature, I want some help porting it to LG V30 , all I need is how to edit this apk file , look at this post
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/themes/help-t3867247
@ChazzMatt hi can you please point me at the right direction here?
Wouldn't it just be easier to use Tasker to see when aptx is active and to post a notification? Since there's an option in developer settings for Bluetooth codec, the selected codec should be written somewhere in /data.
I mean that way you wouldn't have to redo the modifications when a new update is out, assuming it makes changes to whichever APKs you edited.

Go here and look around.

This is the XDA forum for exactly what you need. On that page are several sub-forums. For instance, if you scroll down you'll see ANDROID APPS AND GAMES, and I see several ports and mods at the top of that listing. Also there are sub-forums with resources like tutorials. Somewhere in there, surely you will find what you need (a person or instructions) to help you port this system apk.

Thank you sir for referring me that is good for future but I already got this working, I've been busy this past 24 hours and finally I got a different apk from an Asus Zenfone 4 pro ROM , and it's working fine on my newly rooted and lovely LG V30+ if your'e interested I attached the apk , just create a folder inside vendor/app and name it aptxui then put the apk inside it and set permissions to 0755
this only works on stock Oreo 8.0 on LG V30, maybe other devices but I did not test any
here is a screenshot of my V30+ , I connected my iDeaUSA S204 aptX enabled Bluetooth headset and this notification shows that it is actually using the qualcomm's aptX codec , it also supports qualcomm's aptX HD codec as well
