phone eventually stopped booting and decided to take it into T-mobile for repair not before using a jig to reset flash count.

Hello, everyone!

Now we have enough devices with aptX support (HTC One series, SGS III, SGT's, Moto Razr) and number of headphones supporting aptX is also increasing. So it would be useful to gather info on this technology. Please ask your questions here, hope this thread will be useful.

My question is - does custom ROMs (Miui, CM) supports aptX codec as it is in stock ROMs of mentioned devices? Is it integrated in Kernel, or separately in Rom?

P.S. I have bluetooth headphones senheiser PX360 BT with this technology and Moto Razr XT910.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoobydu:
I'd like to know the same (and have the same headphones) but I can never seem to get an answer.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teocoach:
Apt-X whit Costom-ROM?

The only way is to try it by yourself.

Play a "FLAC" file over Bluetooth with Costom-ROM.

If it is playing apt-x seems to work. If not then bull**** :(.

I use my Tab 7 Plus only for MP3 and I don't really need to flash a Costom like my mobil's.

But if some body try it out please tell us.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoadToNever:
Me three. I might be going out on a limb but it's likely AptX is nothing more than a different codec and uses the same hardware as typical BT A2DP.

To gain further insight one could compare system dumps from related phones(hardware and OS) where AptX and non-AptX is the difference.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hitokiri.pr:
Using logcat to determine aptX connectivity

Looking into the following thread and googling a little bit I was able to determine aptX codec is being used when connecting LG HBS-730 and SGH-T999 Galaxy SIII running XquiziTv35 TouchWiz JB leak based ROM.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1917962

I used the following adb command to save a detailed logcat in a text file:

adb logcat -v long > logcat.txt

Then I just searched within the file for aptX and violà "codec type set to aptx" found. :victory:

I can also confirm aptX does not work on CM10, at least at the moment. AptX is a proprietary codec and it seems to be within the TouchWiz framework.

Call for aptX test recordings

As the list of devices supporting aptX become longer SoundExpert is going to add aptX (bluetooth) codec to its testing system. This will help to evaluate perceptual quality of the codec in comparison with SBC which is in SE ratings for a long time already.

Unfortunately the only reliable way of making aptx test recordings is using of some hardware with digital output. Also some aptX-enabled source of signal is necessary (phone, tablet, laptop …). While SE is looking for such devices I would like to ask xda-developers to help with these recordings too. Further details can be found in the article “Audio quality of bluetooth aptX” on SoundExpert site.

Hi all,

If you have a locked bootloader on a branded phone (for example, from Rogers) normal BL (bootloader) unlocking methods will not work. Fortunately, there is a way to unlock your bootloader - it will, however, cost money.

I have a very good experience with Omnius. The program is simple and fast, and the whole process of unlocking the bootloader took less than 3 minutes. Here is how I did it:

go to Omnius downloads, and download Omnius for SE.

Install it. The installation includes all the drivers you need for this process.

Now you need to purchase credits. You can use any of the re-sellers listed here. I personally used GSMServer single unlock licence for 19 USD.

After about a day, you will get an email with username and password. This is your new Omnius account that has enough credits for one unlock. (I am not sure if it is only for BL unlock or also for SIM unlock.. It definitely works for BL unlock though.)

1. Now start Omnius. In the upper left corner choose your SE model.

2. In the server settings, enter the username and password you got from the reseller of your choice.

3.Next click on "Unlock", and select "Unlock bootloader". A picture guide appears that is super easy to follow - it tells you where the test point is, what to do, what to press, when to remove battery, everything. Few seconds later, your bootloader is unlocked!

Hope this worked for you guys!!

(I am in no way affiliated with Omnius, or any resellers listed on their website. I am simply summing up my experience, as I know that BL unlocking for branded phones is a bit of a problem. I hope I did not break any XDA rules by posting a guide involving a paid service!)
[Xperia Arc General] danisariandi:
Does it void warranty ?
[Xperia Arc General] matus201:
Yes it does. But I should have mentioned - this method LEAVES ALL DRM UNTOUCHED, so that by simply relocking BL nobody can find out you did anything with your phone ;) I had my phone in repair 3 times, every single time with unlocked bootloader. I had no problem so far :)
[Xperia Arc General] danisariandi:
I just rooted. Does it void warranty instead ?
[Xperia Arc General] xtacy!:
Rooting doesn't void your warranty. Only unlocking your bootloader voids it.

[Xperia Arc General] danisariandi:

[Xperia Arc General] zolaisugly:
Don't matter, Sony don't recommend rooting, but it will not void warranty.
[Xperia Arc General] zsirmo:

[Xperia Arc General] totalfailz:
Does this require any special cable to be used for the test point method? I have seen people just use a paperclip but then I have also seen people use a cable attached to their USB cable, so I am not 100% sure on what I need to use.
[Xperia Arc General] DdcCabuslay:
Nothing special; a paperclip will do.
[Xperia Arc General] totalfailz:
Ah that's great! thanks :) one other question, is it the same method for the arc s? is this method done 100% by me and not by someone connected to my computer? like I have seen some people do.
[Xperia Arc General] Shiv122:
So what do I need to do specifically to unlock it? Will I have to open my phone up or do I just plug my USB cable in? Also will it be unlocked for good? If I update or downgrade firmwares will it remain unlocked?
[Xperia Arc General] totalfailz:
I think I can answer the last two questions but someone correct me if im wrong xD you need to open up a tab on the back of the phone underneath the sim card holder to reveal "test points" you will then use them to put your phone in a certain mode which allows you to unlock the boot loader. im also sure that the boot loader if separate from the firmware so once you have unlocked it then it is unlocked for good. im not 100% sure how to do it though because I have seen so many different ways and its just got me confused haha.
[Xperia Arc General] Sigray:
Is it ok/enough for the process? http://www.gsmserver.com/shop/gsm/omnius_one_day_full_license.php
[Xperia Arc General] matus201:
Hmm I am not sure. I think you need also some credits for the unlocking.
[Xperia Arc General] MarioJerkovic:

Btw I feel that you should have fastboot working even now without unlocking.

[Xperia Arc General] beto00:
Further unlocks

Hi there,

I have one question.

I have read a lot of threads about unlocking the bootloader of branded phones, and I haven't found an answer for this question.

Let's say I buy my credits and all, and then I go and unlock the bl, wonderful, but then let's say that I need to send my phone to warranty. So I lock the bl again. Then my phone comes back and I want to unlock the bl again, do I need to buy credits to do it again? Or will the credits I bought on the first time will suffice for the same phone over and over?

Thanks btw for this thread, helped a lot.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letters_to_cleo:
Each custom Roms are subjective to the user's preference. He /she could claim that it's butter smooth/fast, great battery life and etc. BUT at the end of the day, You yourself would be the ultimate judge to which ROM that really suits your fancy. It's all about a user's preference and satisfaction.

Don't believe on anyone who will tell you that this and that ROM works fine and dandy for them. Because their results might not be what you would expect the most.

Try and try each ROM for yourself, until you would finally settle for a ROM that you and you alone would claim as the perfect ONE for YOU!.

Always remember, there are different strokes for different folks... What works for others DOESN'T necessarily mean it will work for you. It's all about choice and individuality.

YOUR Individuality.. NOT theirs.....

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] TiesB:
Why would you disable it in first place?

I see no reason to becasue it only uses very little data I believe, maybe even none.

And it is very useful, because i you disable it, whatsapp won't be able to see wether your contacts have whatsapp or not.

I would just leave it enabled ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] M.A.K:
Whatsapp uses about 20k a day just syncing. That's about 600k a month. This may not be much in the grand scheme of things but it's 600k more than necessary. And I don't like app's phoning home when it's not necessary.

I don't sit around adding new phone contacts every 5 minutes and I'm quite happy to manually sync when I need to (once in a blue moon). If it wasn't for gmail I'd have auto-sync turned off.

The only way I can think of doing this is to hack the apk and remove the write sync permissions... but then you'd have to do that for every update.
