my car audio player is supporting of android phone and sound quality much better than aux, but Any custom ROMs I have installed so far do not support AOA2 PROTOCOL. It's so difficult to do, does it not matter for developers?

I really enjoy the enviroment of firmwares like CandySix and CM Nighties it looks good, feels good, works fast, except for one FREAKISHLY BIG Minus compared to stock, it doesnt have BoomSound option which basically kills a big important part of the whole device. So my question is: Can this be ported to this kind of firmwares(non Sense) Already tried some options as Viper4Android- it's not as good with any settings(my opinion) Dolby Atmos app- Gives 5,1 effect, still lacks volume levels) If there is a way, pls let me know):fingers-crossed:
Boomsound is a Dolby product used under contract by HTC (and others)...
It is a licensed product and is privately owned and closed source...
We will likely never see boomsound and enhanced dolby audio in AOSP type builds....because it's illegal to use the software....g
I read that actually oneplus 3 doesn't support Bluetooth aptx. I don't think that it will be implemented in future updates. Is there a way to include aptx support in custom roms? That would improve a lot Bluetooth audio quality!

I tried it with a new apt-x receiver.
Sound quality is awful. Also volume is low.
With my old Samsung alpha it sounds ok though.
Would be nice if we could improve Bluetooth audio somehow
Aptx may be supported by custom kernels... We should ask to kernel developers for support. There won't be official support because oneplus didn't pay licenses for aptx support...
Buying a new HTC 10 today
I need to know the following:
- Will flashing a custom ROM ruin the DAC? if not, which ROM do you recommend?
- Shall I update my stock HTC 10 to the latest version?
- Will the DAC work with streming music apps like spotify, soundcloud, etc?
- I will use this phone as portaable audio source in car coming from the AXON 7 which did not meet my expectations in terms of audio.
If you wan't to use stable AOSP ROMs, keep on nougat firmware. If you do not mind bugs, update to oreo.
Related to the DAC and AMPs, custom ROMs based on Stock Sense will have all of this functionalities.
Else, if you flash AOSP, you will lose them, but you can get rid of it flashing Ainur Sauron audio mod, IMO is better than BoomSound, far better. Sound are jusr clear and richer, more equalized.
Also, the DAC and AMPs will only work through built in speakers and headphones, not bluetooth.
For full use of the DAC and camera i think you should use a sense based ROM. I personaly like LeeDroid with ElementalX or Cleanslate Kernel. I also use Ainur Sauron sound mod,and if you are connecting the phone to your car via Bluetooth you should tweak it under Settings-Developer Options in order to get the best sound out of it.
You will not break any functionality of the DAC by flashing a Sense based ROM.
Hello people,
i'll be getting an OP5T soon and even though OxygenOS has a favorable reputation i'll certainly end up flashing a custom ROM anyway. however, there's a nagging question, as hinted at in the title, that doesn't seem to have been addressed anywhere, or at least i couldn't find anything searching the forums and it's never mentioned in respective ROM threads. the OP5T running stock Oreo OOS supports both aptX HD and LDAC, if i'm not mistaken, but do custom ROMs generally support those codecs as well?
my current phone is a Z1 Compact running one of the last official CM nightlies released back then and those didn't support aptX, which the stock ROM did, afaik. i don't really have experience in Android customization but from what i've read in various threads, just unlocking the bootloader can inevitably trash various things like DRM keys and camera functionality. the advanced BT audio codecs are important to me, so i need to know what i can and can't do in order to preserve them.
any input on this?
I think any Android 8 based rom support these codecs
I have a Xperia z3c with carbon rom (Android 8.1) and it support these codecs

first things first, thanks for the input.
that does sound promising. i mean, if the codecs didn't work on a custom ROM no matter what, because BL unlocking erases/invalidates the libs or something, surely the dev would've removed them from the selection.
i've read about the matter with Oreo, its native support for all BT audio codecs (whatever that actually means) and Sony's LDAC donation to AOSP. though apparently there was some confusion, as all codecs appeared in the settings selection even though they didn't actually work due to lacking libraries. and while LDAC is part of AOSP and technically free to use by any OEM, it still requires a device certification from Sony.
so... there seems to be a difference between "supported" and "functional". you don't happen to have a pair of compatible BT headphones at hand for testing, do you? your Z3C should at least give you regular aptX, as that's what it shipped with, and perhaps LDAC

My z3c's stock rom doesn't support ldac but with a custom rom ldac is functional

thanks for the screenshot, that was a nice confidence booster. i went ahead and flashed Zoe ROM, can confirm that both aptX HD and LDAC still work. so unlocking the bootloader doesn't touch the libraries, which i guess are located in a partition that you don't usually wipe, and every ROM based on 8.0 or later should support the codec selection
Hey,
I'm currently looking for a smartphone with long battery life and support of HQ sound (LDAC preferred).
I found some ROMs with Android 8.0 and I heard that this version of OS supports LDAC. Does it mean that when I install one of these ROMs, I will be able to use LDAC?

LDAC is included in AOSP since Oreo so you should be able to use it on every 8+ ROM until someone will remove it from his ROM. It is visible in my codec selection menu on LOS15.1 but I can't test it for you since I'm not in possession of any wireless headphones. I believe that you should look for information and how it works on other phones threads too, not only here. There is possibility that Lineage doesn't support this codec itself since stock haven't supported it but I'm not sure about that since LDAC is part of AOSP unlike AptX for example where your phone needs to be certified to allow developers to include this codec in official builds.
Basically you can add any existing bluetooth audio codec to your phone's ROM. There's not any hardware requirements besides bluetooth so I believe that you should be able to use it.
