XDA Thread
I've tested and it works for the most part. Though it seems a little sluggish. And it Arm not Arm64 so if you want gapps choose ARM 7.0. As the thread says Video and audio recording doesn't work (though I believe the mic works).
And yes I know it's for Android One Second gen devices but as the Swift is a clone of the GM 4G it works. And I've tested that it works.
Just thought I'd share the thread
I am seriously considering either a Mate 10 or the to be announced Honor V10 but I do have a few questions about EMUI 8 (seeing that lineage might be unlike to be supported):
1. What Bluetooth audio Codecs are supported? aptx? Aptx HD? LDAC?
2. Can one use volume keys to skip media files in play music?
3. What about audio equalizer?
4. Is there any functionality to manage permissions in excess of what android 6+ offers (think lineage privacy guard)?
5. I understand Substratum works, correct?
Thanks a lot for any answers.

Sorry, must have misclicked in xda app..
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.
Having recently upgraded my ROM to android10 with L17.1 I was surprised to see direct audio recording of internal sound has become an issue. I'm aware from reading around that google removed the function in a8 and there are some workarounds, but they all seem to involve screen recorders.
I'm looking for a simple audio recorder to capture the internal sound without mic.
My nexus 7 flo is rooted with the magisk, twrp and unofficial lineage builds but I don't have xposed framework installed (I'm toying with adding it).
Secondly, I'm still on the factory kernal. Is there much benefit in flashing one of the newer XDA built versions? Can anyone recommend which one for L17.1?
As ever - many thanks.
