Does Oreo add aptX? - Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers

Wondering if using Oreo on this handset allows you to choose aptx? Longshot seems it doesn't seem to be supported at the hardware. If anyone's on oreo can you check the bluetooth developer options and see if aptx is available? Thanks.

Just check and i can see the option there.
Forget the other image. i Can select the option too and use aptx and aptx hd

Btw I upgraded to Oreo and indeed the codec is there but for some reason android keeps defaulting to SBC when I'm actually playing music on my headphones and it doesn't allow me to change. So everything is still the same in that regard :sigh:

Video out Settings(HDMI)-Possible new feature

After june 28th update.
I've never noticed this before in the "Sound & Display" settings, but there appears to be an option that I've never seen before "Video out Setting(HDMI)". Options are Automatic, 720p, and 480p.
Was this option always there?

No, I think this is an undocumented new feature in the latest firmware. I noticed it too.
Anyone actually notice a difference between the two?

Has anyone tried hdmi with the new settings? Can we output on more than just gallery and youtube now?
The Suspense!!! So far HDMI has been a waste on the Evo... Lets hope they open up the port a bit as the TV-Out (ideal) function on the Touch Pro is what, 2 years old now?

Serious Simple Audio Improvement (?)

Ok I'm an audiophile musician, as many of you I think
and, though stock audio just works I'm trying to look at audio mods here
I looked in many threads and I can see that ARISE is very well known, supported and loved, but looks like is very customizeable and confusing....
dolby atmos in apps section doesn't work well, it lowers volume and...well, I can't feel any improvement
viper4android should be nice, but I never tried it
now...what are you using? things that work nice and stable, with quality enhancements....don't need thousands of profiles or eq since I'm a big fan of flat sound (the way is meant to be listened)
Thank you for your attention, once we'll have some satisfactory answer I'll make a poll and a general AIO audiophile thread with all working options as referral.
EDIT: ARISE audio system simple guide​
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/r-s-e-sound-systems-auditory-research-t3379709
go to this thread, don't be scared, just search for lastest deuteronomy zip and flash it
you will find a nice app called viper4arise that will let you manage settings separately for every audio output with simple and nice UI
you can also import presets and plugins, but it's secondary.
Im going to tune in on this. Would like to install ARISE on my nexus (comes with Viper4Android) but there are so many versions to choose from, it gets a bit confusing.
Any tips on which ARISE works for our phone on 7.1.1 ?
ARISE is the right answer. It's customizable for true audiophiles but simply flashing it seriously improves audio quality without you having to tweak anything. Seriously. I know there are several zips for ARISE. Just make sure you get the most current stable release (Deuteronomy� 2.3.3) and I usually go for the smallest zip file because I don't need all of the extra stuff like Dolby Atmos and whatnot. It comes with a modified version of the Viper4Android app that allows you to tweak settings to your liking. The app, by default, is setup for novices or people that don't need to get too specific with any settings so you can boost bass, enable clarity options, spectrum extension, etc. by toggling the switch next to it. Simple as that.

so. you suggest to flash deuteronomy (lastest) and...just that? what about plugins, the prop editor that comes with hell of documentation...profiles and stuff...none of that?
if you're sure it works, is stable enough, simple and it has graphic (not text editing or changing files on system) settings through an app....I'm going to test it right now....

There's a zip with v4a profiles, Copy it to v4a directory in sdcard and choose Audiophile 10.0

I never did any of that. I just flashed, booted up, went into the ARISE V4A app and toggled the options I wanted. There was an immediate difference in audio quality. You can toggle the options while playing music and hear the difference.
EDIT: Oh. Make sure to disable MusicFX or whatever that nonsense is. Settings > Apps > Show system apps > MusicFX and disable.

ok! so this is a solution. I'm going to try it right now....
for anyone else who pass here, if there is any other thing you are using please reply here! we want options!
EDIT: Ok guys I tried ARISE and it works damn well, I can manage audio settings without profiles since I know how to tune that, but main mportant thing is that it works.
Now, regarding higher bitrate? or anything else?

Really depends on what you're playing the music on. I usually enabled Spectrum Extension (0.4 strength) as a lot of my music is 320kbps MP3 and Bass Boost (default settings) for Bluetooth and Headset (3.5mm jack) while enabling "Speaker Optimization" for the speaker. I mainly use the bluetooth audio in my car and while my car stereo isn't that great but I did throw some Kickers in the front doors. Spectrum Extension is awesome, but make sure to disable it if you're listening to any FLAC files.

I really only listen to music through headphones/AUX in the car so I edited some of those to the audiophiles info in the post. I turned on the spectrum extension and will see how I like it since it's all streamed from spotify (no flac).

Why do you disable MusicFX?
And it's necessary on stock too?

Because it interferes with ARISE / V4A. If you're completely stock with no audio mods there's no point to disabling it.

"NO" automatic call recorder in mi a1

very necessary, as no playstore app works correctly...
(only supportive people response here plz)...
What kind of support are you looking for, I'll be happy to provide.
Automatic Call Recorder works without any issues. Make sure Settings -> Running -> has Ignore battery optimizations and Run in the background checked.
I've used for about 6 months play store "call recorder" (from appliquato) on nougat. Since I've changed to oreo, haven't tested.

Yes, I have no issues with this app and everything gets recorded with no problem.
I'm using Call Recorder from F-Droid. You can choose the quality and format of the recording and some other settings. I have never tried other call recording apps so I don't know how good it actually is compared to the others.
Use boldbeast or total recall.
Use alsa source(root) if boldbeast, else install root patch(that probably modifies system partition) in total recall.
You'll get Cristal clear recording using any of those 2 app. Hit thanks after installing n verifying.
I dunno if this is what u are looking for but
I use flyme os and it has built in call recorder like miui

APT-X LDAC enabled by enabling Programmer Options?

I Enabled Programmer Options in my stock MI A2 (no root, full stock), then among the options for programmer's a menu item about BLUETOOTH CODEC is shown, there you can choose among APT-X, APT-X HD, LDAC etc
I have no APT-X nor LDAC enabled BT Headphones to test it, so I ask to those with APT-X or LDAC to try this (at youtube you find how to enable programmer mode), then choose the BT codec of your's headphones and try, then comment here.:good:
Does not stick for me
Ldac did not work with a bt Sony speaker that supports it
Nope, unfortunately.
So it's an useless setting, or hopefully a placeholder ...

Not exactly. Google started natively supporting these libraries with Oreo if I'm not mistaken - but supporting it does not mean supplying it. Theoretically we should be able to add the necessary files in order to make it work (like other phones have) - but I've tried every magisk module I could find, and none of them worked.
It does exist but I'm not sure if it works.

This is good news. Is .15 the october patch? And you're not using any magisk modules?

HiFi DAC on Custom ROMs

Hello. Someone else on this forum made a similar post but the thread quickly turned into a heated debate about the sound quality of the phone itself, so I have no choice but to make a new thread.
I use headphones all the time, so I would like to be able to use the Hi-Fi DAC on Paranoid Android Quartz Alpha. In MIUI, I was able to enable it using the built in setting, however there is no such option in Paranoid Android. An XDA user named androidexpert35 posted a Magisk Module, and later an app, to enable the HiFi DAC, but I'm not sure if it's legit. He's a little shady, because XDA blocked his account, accusing him if being a pirate.
I've looked all over the Internet, but I wasn't able to find anything useful. Is there any way I'm able to use the HiFi DAC on Paranoid Android, or on any other custom ROM for that matter?
FYI: Please don't reply saying "It doesn't matter" or "the sound quality is not that different." That's exactly what people did on the previous thread, and the discussion went waaaaay off topic.

I guess I could use that instead, but it's a lot more complicated than just using what's already there. Wouldn't you want to just use a DAC that was certified for Hi-Res Audio?
There's a Dirac enhancer port made by UltraM8. Check that out. It's the same hifi enhancer used in Miui.

What's Dirac? Do I have to download an app before I can install the addon? Also, should I install the "Hardware Hexagon" addon? The link to Hardware Hexagon seems to be broken.
Maybe UAPP will work? It is supposed that it installs DAC driver but I am not shure if it'll detect an internal one.
Seems that Dirac is a software enhancement. Hardware add-on is not available to download so I guess it's not possible to enable internal DAC without it.
Yeah, I just reverted back to stock. Thank you for all your support!

Internal dac is independent of dirac & stuff.
For enabling in custom roms you'd need to check if drivers are present under the respective directories under roo (mostly should be) & then modify system.prop file to enable it.
Extended UI hay the same menu/options, same HIFI toggle, just not entirely sure that it was working
