AAC Bluetooth mod - Huawei P20 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods

I'm a recent proud owner of the P20 Pro.
Fabulous device EXCEPT for the Bluetooth.
Reason being, I own a pair of Sony WF-1000X that uses the AAC codec. But it seems that the AAC codec is not supported on the phone and the audio-video is severely out of sync. I emailed Huawei asking about this and they said the phone only supports APTX, APTX-HD, LDAC and HWA. My impression is that Oreo supports AAC but it is not the case with the P20 pro. In development settings, even selecting the AAC settings do not stay.
My question is whether flashing magisk along with the audio modification library or viper4android help in getting the AAC codec installed?

It does support.

I know it's in the developer settings. But when you select it, it doesn't stay. It defaults back to SBC.
Do you have this issue?

Hmm i have both the WF and WI 1000x as you can see the WI connects via LDAC but it shows sbc for the other. I do remember prior to the recent update it did used in say AAC but yeah looks like SBC :/

Yes there is a issue with stock ROMs that makes it stick to SBC for whatever reason. I flashed lineage today and now it's on AAC.

It seems their own freebuds does not support aptx as well. It defaults to SBC. is it a firmware issue?

how can we report this bug?

According to the Huawei specs on the P20 pro we can only expect the following codecs
aptX™, aptX™ HD, LDAC and HWA

They might provide AAC in a future update but I wouldn't hold your breath.

the only option that can be marked is the sbc audio codec
all the other cant be selected.

I believed they have disabled the other codecs in the freebuds. We will have to wait for them to provide a firmware update to see what happens.

If this HUAWEI Sport Headphones support aptx, i see no reason why the free buds do not.

This is my one annoyance with the P20 Pro, the free Bose headphones that was part of the pre-order also remains on SBC and doesn't switch to AAC. My budget £40 ones support APT-X and works with that but rather use the Bose for obvious reasons.

I reported to Huawei and got a case number, that was two months ago. Don't hold your breath. It really saddens and angers me when any phone manufacturer can't be bothered to resolve the issues when reported to them.

on .131 firmware, you can use AAC and the rest of codec already

I heard that build had been pulled?

On 131 firmware, AAC works fine. I can switch between it and SBC and it stays on whichever is chosen. The audio also has a brief pause when it's changing codecs, so it's definitely working. (This is with Jabra Elite 65t's.) It defaults to AAC.

I am on C432B131. I tried to change to AAC but do not stick on. Whatever I select, it doesn't move to any other options other than SBC.

Same for me and on my JBL headset I have nothing but stuttering and cutouts. This is crap! And, it's impossible to change codec. It reverts to SBC no matter what.

Desire i.c.w. SE HBH-DS200-> bad audio quality

I've been using this headset for a long time now. And I would like to use it with my desire as well. But the sound quality is so poor that it's like listening to a 56k mp3 file while actually I'm playing a 320kbps mp3.
It seems to me that somehow the bitrate on the bluetooth connection isn't high enough(very low actually).
Does anybody here know how I can change that easily? Or do you have any other solutions for this problem without buying a new headset.
btw, I use a Sennheiser HD215 headphone or the SE in-ear ear buds.
thanks in advance
I'm using the SE MW600 and I have no problems. Using stock rom with the update.

No actually I never touched these settings because they were already enabled when I paired the devices. And I figured it would be quite crucial to have those settings enabled if I wanted to use those profiles.

Was hoping you would conclude from my post that there isn't a problem with the Desire regarding bitrates over bluetooth. Does the headset work on other devices without problems?

Ok, I know that for example the mw600 headset from SE works fine. So I think it's just the combination of devices, but that would be solved if I would be able to alter the bitrate.
I have used the headset with other devices without any problem, other than that I had to set the bitrate higher on a WM 6.5 device.

[Bug] Bluetooth Sync

Love MX Pro! Your H/W+ was the only thing that fixed my video stuttering issue on my HTC One with Android 4.4.2, thanks! My question is if there is a way to fix the Bluetooth audio lag while watching videos? It's about 1-2 seconds off. I think it's a Android bug, and did not have the problem on my HTC Sensation on ICS.
I would think this is an android bug as well. It's been mentioned on the old forum before:

Yes - it's an Android bug, but funnily enough, apps like YouTube don't have any (noticeable) lag. I posted about this a year ago, as well (here), as it was supposed to have been fixed by then - but as it still happens, it clearly hasn't been. I've had to stop using MX Player Pro because of this (I play video through my hearing aids via Bluetooth). Fingers crossed the developer will (eventually) fix this...

It's seems to be audio latency issue. Either It may be from ROM or Headset.
Kindly try the latest nightly version. It has an option to audio offset. You can even set default audio offset for bluetooth devices.

Lg V20 QuadDAC vs. Astell & Kern AK240 SS HiFi music player (($3400)) oops.

,,..."I COMPARED THE LG V20 WITH A $3400 PLAYER: NO PERCEPTIBLE DIFFERENCE IN QUALITY"
:good:
Finally, I went “high-end” and borrowed a pair of Sennheiser HD 800 (~$1,400) and an Astell & Kern AK240 SS HiFi music player (~3,000). With the HD 800 headphones, I compared the LG V20 with that $3400 player: no perceptible difference in quality. If you take away one thing about this article, that should be it...,,
What is the LG V20’s “Quad DAC” and how does it affect audio quality?

It does sound amazing. I just wish I could get the stock music player on my AT&T variant so I know I'm getting the full benefit of the DAC
I haven't really played with the DAC on the v20 yet but this is pretty amazing if true.
I loved the v10 DAC of course I am not using thousand dollar headphones I've got Bose QC 25s and Klipsch. Both show a fair difference with the v10 DAC.

Download a US996 ROM and take the APK out of their priv-app folders and put it in yours.
Now you have the v20 music player.
I've tried that and I always get a "Package appears to be Corrupt" error. Doesn't matter which ROM I take it from

I would love to see people stop suggesting this - the DAC fix app hasn't even been needed on the V10 for some time (since marshmallow), and does nothing for the V20. What the V20 needs, is a fix to allow apps other than the stock app to output higher than 44khz (more info here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70637384&postcount=44)

Cant just install a system only app.
It needs to be put into system/priv-app/
And permissions set to match the other apps in
That directory. It works on att. There's a post about it working for a att user who did it. Can also just put into your rom.zip
In the same spot and flash rom and it will install.
I just can't wait for DAC support on AOSP. Albinoman887 had said it was possible a few weeks back so I'm eagerly awaiting support! As much as I love the DAC, I just can't give up the 35 hours of use per charge I get on AOSP with Thrasher's RR.

USB audio player will play ALL files, however, it is transcoding them to 48khz PCM prior to outputting because it can only see the Qualcomm DAC not the ESS Sabre DAC even though it is toggled on.
@mlknez has answered questions extensively about the use of the DAC in the following thread:

I tried that app. It does indeed play DSD files, but like the rest of them, it only sees the Qualcomm DAC capabilities. It converts to PCM and decimates to 48khz. It will however see any EXTERNAL dac and play DSD files natively that way. Quickest way to check is to play a DSD file and if you get any notification sounds without the music going quiet, you are really hearing PCM. The SABRE DAC cannot do both DSD and PCM at the same time.

You like music? Don't buy it. (About The Honor 8 Audio Subsystem)

Hi.
Please forgive my grammar mistakes; English isn't my first language.
Why no reviewer talks about it? Why are reviews so superficial? I'm quite irritated. I've been using the Honor 8 since 1st Dec. 2016 and so far I've noticed that:
1. There's no system-level audio equalizer: this means that you have to live with the flat audio that comes out of the sound card, which is not pleasant if you really enjoy listening to music. Of course you can use a cool audio player such as Poweramp, but what about sounds coming from other apps? What about YouTube, for example?
2. You can't adjust the L-R audio balance: WTF? Again, you can use Poweramp, but what about any other sound?
3. The included earphones sound bad, like really bad. OK, if you are an audiophile you use something else, but... WTF?
4. MIDI audio output: I played a MIDI file using com.lonelycatgames.Xplore and after about a minute the phone rebooted. I used to enjoy using those piano-simulator-apps(?), such as com.rubycell.pianisthd, but the audio output is full of clicks and pops (can't explain it better, sorry). EDIT (02/03/2017): no more clicks and pops after upgrading from Android 6.0 (FRD-L09C432B120) to 7.0 (FRD-L09C432B360).
5. (a bit off topic): When using MX Player (to play video files, not audio) the HW/HW+ decoder fails to play some videos the right way (I mean, they're like slowed down).
edit (08/04/17):
6. Good luck using with satisfaction apps like "Samsung Health" or "Huawei Health". Their processes get terminated randomly when the phone is not in use (display is off). No, telling the phone to never close those processes doesn't work. AND NO, telling the apps to "ignore battery optimizations" doesn't work either. F--K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wouldn't buy it again. This phone is clearly not made for audio(/video)-obsessed people.
Guys, what are your thoughts about the A/V experience this smartphone offers?

2. You can actually adjust the L-R balance : Settings- advanced settings-accessibility-sound balance.
3. There were no earphones with my phone (L04).
My impressions are audio is not bad, I had HTC M8 before and it was definitely better, but the Honor does the job and i'm pretty satisfied.
When campared to my note 4 , the note 4 wins by a land slide.. I was disappointed when i first heard music on my honor 8.
Easiest fix: Just flash v4a
Unless you really don't want to unlock your device then i don't know but v4a gets the job more then done

I do agree that the lack of equalizer is very unpleasant. I miss my good old phones with Cyanogen and my equalizers.
I had Honor 7 and LG G3 before the 8 and I managed to install Viper4Android which is the best equalizer of all times but since I didn't unlock the Honor 8 yet...
This phone CAN be GREAT for people like us, but we have to flash a few things for that

I'm afraid it's never gonna be great for me. I'll never trust any review anymore.
My opinion:
For music the best is Alcatel 4, stereo speakers, jbl headphones, built in app equalizer, dj mode..
But its music phone.
Honor 8 is good for daily using whatever you want.
Great camera, display and even one speaker of sound is nice though should be louder. Honor have HiSilicon Hi6402 audio chipset. DTS sound effect in music player.
Ok, it have no equalizer (it piss me off because in play store you can find only trash), but we can install Viper if we rooted our phone.
If no root mode we can use poweramp as you said, maybe no works with youtube but who listen to music on youtube if audio there have not good quality.

Ok, it have no equalizer (it piss me off because in play store you can find only trash), but we can install Viper if we rooted our phone.

Right. But installing it now, for me, would be a pain in the ass, 'cause I'd have to unlock the bl (which would force an hard reset). I have no desire(?) at the moment to reconfigure everything

If no root mode we can use poweramp as you said, maybe no works with youtube but who listen to music on youtube if audio there have not good quality.

Uhm... this is complicated. It's not a simple concept like "youtube music video suck". YouTube has any kind of video and I'd like to listen to the audio the best way possibile. And what about Spotify, as someone else already wrote?
No, f**k, it's not possible to pay 330€ to get such a low quality audio. I don't accept it. And we're still only talking about the lack of eq. What about the crappy HW video decoder? What about the bad midi output? I can't believe it.

I agree. I'm not sure whether it's just the software that sucks, though.

I've unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP many times without failure.
I've also bricked my phone a few times and manage to unbrick it.
I think installing v4a honestly shouldn't be hard whatsoever if you need help you can just search forums
I agree. The sound, even with dts, is mediocre. I have never had a good pair of buds or headphones come by default. I always buy 3rd party.
The only major con is the ios skin. The video is npt grreat but not bad. So 1 major flaw and 2 small issues. GREAT PHONE.
Lol which music fanatic buys a phone to listen to music sorry but you failed completly by yourself
Get viper and you should be fine

If someone want to have one device to everything is ok.
So i should buy camera, mp3 player etc?
The same with people which buys phone for taking pictures, why not? Now smartphones haves very good audio chipsets and firmware addons which makes phone better than many other players. Problem with honor is that his firmware is not made for music lovers but as you said Viper can change it.
Ps i find no root, not bad app, good for headphones

Had tried it; doesn't sound any good to me.

aptX Adaptive support

I haven't got my OnePlus 8T yet, so I wanna know if the OnePlus 8T supports aptX Adpative. I've checked on aptX site and it says 8T supports adaptive. I would be grateful if anyone confirms this.

My Anker SoundCore Liberty Air 2 Connects with aptX enabled, they sound great. You will see a little pop up with aptX when they connect. Did not have to modify anything in regards to bluetooth codecs, etc. in developer options.

Yes. It does support aptX and aptX HD.
But I wanna know if it supports aptX Adaptive. Can you please check the available codecs in developer options and share a screenshot of the same?

The audio codecs list, please? Just a tap on the "bluetooth audio codec". Sorry if I'm asking too much.

Looks like it does, my bluetooth device doesn't support it.

Yes, Liberty Air 2 supports only aptX, AAC and SBC. I got my pair a few days back. :angel:

Or, apparently it might be the phone. My device only supports the aptX codec that it's connected to.

That's quite a coincidence! Can't beat em for the price. Didn't see any references to the 8t, but it looks like the 8pro supports hd, but not adaptive. Guessing since the hardware is pretty similar, we will have the same.

8T is the first OP device to get aptX Adaptive. The other OP phones with aptX support have aptX and aptX HD only. They had put in adaptive and tws+ codecs in some builds (which obviously didn't work) only to remove them later. I have a 7 Pro and planning to upgrade to the 8T. Will probably do when 9 launches, should get good some discounts.
