APT-X LDAC enabled by enabling Programmer Options? - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion

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?

Spιrit fm for u8800pro v120415

May 15 Free: http://www.mediafire.com/?21ay5pphrpv9jqa
First, we need to stop the phone reboot to see what's causing it and so you can send me debug logs:
- Remove the app and re-install it so we can start fresh.
- Start the app. You should see an SU request. Select "Allow". If you get to the introduction screen, press the Back key so the app doesn't try to start. If the app crashes before the Intro screen, re-install the app and try again using "Deny" for SU.
- Now, select Menu->Settings->Debug. Set FM Chip to "Emulator (Test)". Set FM API to "Low Level". Set BC 4330/20780 to Enable.
- Hit Back and go into the Audio config. Set Method to "None" at the bottom. Hit Back twice to return to the App. Now press the Power button to start the FM.
- Hopefully there will be no crash at this point and you will see RSSI 44 at upper left. Select Menu->Settings->Debug and set FM Chip to "Broadcom". Restart/power cycle the app and hopefully we will see something good with no crash. The app will likely need SU to work.
Now set Audio->Method to "qdsp5v2 Analog" near the bottom of the list and restart the app.
Hopefully sound will happen. It's set so that Mute is actually speaker, but this is just for testing. Try the Mute/Unmute and Headset/Speaker buttons a few times.
Wow, thanks a lot for sharing
Works perfect also with miui 1.12.16 (default and new kernel)
Now we can play fm radio with headset inside MIUI.
Now we have only to found a way (without reboot the mobile, at this moment the only way I found) for restore standard audio after closing spirit fm, because no more sound (fm spirit works the same).
Great

Thats why the dev said that he need to find a way to work calling audio after closing spirit fm...with miui 2.3.9 i don't have this problem..
Ok I don't use too much fm radio but now this is possible (great) and one reboot it is not a great problem. Waiting and hoping for audio fix I keep also greek language. Thanks again.

I'll fix anything I CAN fix in a reasonable amount of time, relative to the number of people who have a given phone etc.
In other words, I can't spend weeks of work on an unpopular phone. I've pretty much given up on the u8800 (not pro) due to the unusual FM chip and the audio problems we're seeing on this device also. (Maybe related ?)
March 18th release is on the Market/Play. I modified the qdsp5v2 Analog audio method so hopefully it gives you audio without phone crashing.
But as before, and as is common on some phones, I can't guarantee no audio problems, including on phone calls, so please test that yourself.
I tried contacting Huawei to see if they could send me a phone or 2, but no luck. Only HTC responded positively with a device, unlike Huawei, Samsung and Motorola.

With the new version from the market the qdsp5v2 Analog audio method works!
The reboot after is still necessary but its not the biggest problem!
Me too, working fine without starting bluetooth, only need a reboot for restore the audio. Because Mikers maked an incredible works (olso for unpopular mobile like u8800pro, my mobile) now I upgraded to unlocked version, and I'm happy for this. Thank you Michael and f..k huawei
Sent from my u8800pro using XDA
New version added new audio plugin...if someone can test it see details on first post!!thanks!!
Hmmm.
Right now the u8800pro is the only Huawei device on my "works list".
I just added the u8800pro now, for next release, to the list of devices for which "BC 4330/20780" is automatically set. This will need ro.product.device set to "hwu8800Pro" to work.
I made some SU changes recently that make the app more stable on some devices. Some would reboot.
I also added a new method "qdsp5v2 Plus/ICS" and it's possible I could make a "qsdp5v2 Analog" variant of it.
But I don't recall if the u8800pro has a /dev/codec_aic3254 device that would benefit from this change.

Call recording - feature in CM11 nightlies

Some nightlies ago, call recording feature was introduced in CM11.
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/69850/
For legal reasons, this isn't enabled by default.
To enable it, edit build.prop and reboot.
Code:
persist.call_recording.enabled=true
persist.call_recording.src=4
You will get a recording button while in a call. Playback of records can be done in call history.
Please report if it works.
Notice that it will work only for newer ROMs (mostly nightlies)

I'm on 33R and I tried it... it did nothing. I made one call and saw no additional options, and I received a call with the same result.
I'm on the latest nightly build 0902, adding those lines to build.prop did nothing, no call record button appears.

Yea, this isn't working :/
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ DEVICE : N5 ] [ ROM : CrDROID ] [ KERNEL : BIGBUM ]
There are 2 xposed modules to enable this feature without the 2 lines above, doing so on CM11S will do nothing, and you will see in xposed log an error that it was not successful, which is logical because this has not been integrated in CM11S (and i guess it will not, as most of the countries were OnePlus is sold prohibit call recording).
on CM11 builds after nightly 14/08 it will show an extra button.
so...
- If you are using CM11S (the official OnePlus ROM), this will NOT work
- If you are using CM11 monthly (currently M9), this will NOT work
- If you are using CM11 nightly after 20140814, this will show the extra button, will it work? i haven't tried recording.. yet
The values stayed there after a reboot...
Too bad xposed is required, I don't use it and this feature would definitely not justify installing it.
Sept 2nd buid doesn't have the properties in it.
But I can't test any further cause I don't have this phone any more (sold it^^ too big)
This thread may be interesting:
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/cm11s-will-be-internal-2-way-call-recording-possible.3297/
i'd also like to see this functionality on the 11s
Be warned, if the person on the other end is in some states or countries, recording them without consent is illegal.
Guys will the OnePlus have call recording built in eventually so an app isn't needed?

Yes, you can do it easily by installing the Xposed module RecEnabler
You dont need xposed module.
You need what OP edited, and call record program. You can find it here on xda. It will work fine with caf root methood, select bacon(!) not oneplus from list or you will have distortion. This is for nighly.

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.

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.

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).

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

Does Oreo add aptX?

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:

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
