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,
geE68

Yes, for sure, but we should enjoy the last oreo days No reason to root this phone. It's up to date, more than my other devices (Z Play with Pie on 5.10. patch, P8 Lite 2015 with Nougat on 5.09.(with custom roms, no official support anymore)). And Pie is coming very soon. Great phone ?

There are various reasons to root this phone.
(Mainly 2 for me)
1. Enable the Audio Offloading
2. Use Viper4Android Fx
3. Use Adaway
Other optional uses also..
Also some weird issues like only headphone (w/o mic) icon in status bar when using earpods..
I have to currently use Moto Z (running LineageOS 15.1) due to this and tired charging it 4times a day. It seems i have to wait 1month more for Pie and hope these issues are fixed

You are right, biggest problem is audio over usb-c, that's why I'm using a bluetooth headset. And now the sound is strong and good. But that's not the perfect way, every 6h the battery of the headset are going down. I would more like to get good audio out of type C. But it's ok with bluetooth. I have JBL.
Yes, I'm doing much with the Z Play, the most of all. There is no other good way to using Pie now

I too have a JBL T110BT headset apart from the battrey dying in 5-6hrs it doesn't have a strong base and qlty like mine weird Sennheiser and Earpods. I tried using the Viper , only i can get is 44Khz sampling rate (compared to 48khz) , no Playback gain , apart from that i cannot change mine codec from SBC to aptxHD. Can you plz tell me how to use aptxhD or does it depend on the BT device..?

Here it is an JBL tune 205bt, maybe almost the same.
And don't know, here I can't change it, too. Maybe just for certified bluetooth devices? But sound on bluetooth is here really great, much better as on type c. So, it's really good enough. Better maybe just with very expensive headsets.

Hi man, can you explain to me how you "Enable the Audio Offloading" ?
I'm already rooted. thanks
What's the best and easiest way to install the update when rooted? Obviously OTA's do not work for me and i'm "stuck" on the September patch...i'd like to update to the newest.
Hello guys !
I just updated my MIUI ROM from Android 8 to Android 9. Since I have this one, my Bose QC35 II connected via Bluetooth uses the SBC Codec, which delivers a bad quality comparing to AAC. I tried to change this via the developer options, but when I set to AAC it always comes back to SBC. When I was on Android 8, I had the AAC.
Do you know how can I change that ? I'm on MIUI 10.1.1.0 Global
Thanks a lot, hope my english is understandable
I didn't find a solution, always on SBC Codec which the sound quality quite bad. If anyone has a solution
Isn't Aac a iPhone/apple thing....?
Anyways you can force a specific output mode in developers settings.
My mi8 on global beta defaults to aptx when using my Bluetooth headset.

No it isn't, it's a classical codec. I tried to force it, but it always goes back to SBC, here is my problem !
What I meant is that aptx is superior in every way.
But I guess the BT device your using is aimed at iphones and doesn't support aptx ?
Maybe try and switch to global beta and check if the issue was fixed.

Same thing on my mi mix 2s. While everything works just fine with an Nvidia shield and Android pie. So it's xiaomi fault. I'm Very disappointed because SBC is really inferior.
Try developer mode!
Already tried on dev mod, doesn't change anything. When you set on AAC, the phone simply doesn't care, hope it will be corrected in an update !
Now I am having the same problem and couldn't find any solution. In Developer options, my arrangements revert to old ones when close, they don't stick. I have Android 8 MIUI 10 Xiaomi Mi6. Via Magisk Manager, I flashed codecs and necessary modules to my phone but nothing's changed. when i connect my JBL Free to my phone, SBC logo right next to the earphone's name is there. Before I lose my mind, someone please help me! I am inexperienced to this complex Android world :crying:
I'd start by posting in the correct MI6 subforum
You can use PowerAmp, it can force better audio codec (by cable and BT).
Have you tried it ? It doesn't work
Just a quick update, since the last update 10.2.3.0, i've got the AAC when using my Bose QC-35 The sound quality is waaaaayyyy better than before. Thx Xiaomi !

I didn't receive BT fix with my new update and I dont believe I will I bought Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless Earbuds and I rarely have stutters thanks to aptX but if codecs were good I would have perfect connection with these earbuds.
I'm afraid you just have to turn on BT in order to change BT CODEC
Is mi a2 has gotten support for LDAC in latest pie rom (july 2019 security patch)? I want to confirm this before buying sony wireless headset. Afaik aptx and aac are supported, but I dont know about the others (aptx HD or LDAC).
I really appreciate any info about this. Thank you.
they show in dev options but i havent tried compatible headsets. best wait for other confirmations.
ldac still doesnt support, it only show in dev. opt. list. sbc/aac/aptx/aptxhd wors ok. tested with fiio btr3.
Aw, quite disappointed. Some devices with oreo based miui have gotten ldac, but still no luck in pie rom of a2, only displayed as dummy option in dev settings. Anyway, thanks for the infos.

Is the bluetooth connection between MI A2 and BTR3 stable? Do not interrupt? Has good range?
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!
Current ROM: The Galaxy Project Ver 1.7.0

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.
