Guys,

If anyone uses headphones that support Sony's LDAC Bluetooth codec, please share your impressions (stability, sound quality, absence of issues when using LDAC, etc) on LDAC support in AEX 7.3 for flo/deb.

I'm currently using Unlegacy Android where LDAC support is okeyish—but I'd really like to switch to AEX because UA hasn't seen any updates for over a year.

Many thanks in advance!

---------- Post added at 07:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 PM ----------

[MENTION=5480152]followmsi[/MENTION] sorry to hear that.

Anyway, thank you very much for all your time, effort and commitment to making our flos and debs relevant again in 2020!

Oh and by the way, do the July builds include LDAC codec support for Bluetooth?

I'm currently using Unlegacy Android and I"m getting hiccups and skips when the highest bitrate is selected for LDAC via developer options. The CPU utilisation is about 50% so it's not the CPU issue, and Sony's WH-1000 XM3 headphones do support the highest bitrate (tested on a different device).

Maybe AEX is better at this, so I'm willing to give it a try but I'd like to verify in advance that LDAC support is present in your AEX builds for flo/deb.

This ROM

Is it OK to ask how you guys like this ROM and the pros and cons? I'm using the PE 9 version now and I like it but just learned there won't be any further updates. I've used several of followmsi's ROMs in the past and admire his work.

Thanks

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] dmsaia:
I just installed this rom onto my old flo last night. My note10+ battery died and I use it to control my Roku, so I was pretty upset at myself for not having a second/third/fourth device already setup/preconfigured. So I busted this old, bad boy, did the sysrepart, installed this rom, pico gapps, got it all setup, and it seems to be running about as well as it possibly can. I haven't really done anything crazy on it...just logged into the play store, downloaded a few essential apps, played around in the settings, and so far no issues at all. Even my roommate who is a huge snob when it comes to using older hardware was impressed with how well it runs for being from 2013.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] n3kf:
I find the ROM is pretty good. My only real issue is that it can get laggy if you have too many apps open. From what I can tell, it probably is due to the tablets 1 Gb of RAM compared to 2 or 4 of today's devices. I believe memory management has also changed considerably on newer kernels, but it can't be back ported to the older kernel that has to get used here. I've experimented with number of background processes and low memory management, but have not really hit on anything very positive. I find the best way to keep things going is to swipe away old processes or even doing a soft (quick) restart seems to garbage collect memory.

Now with that being said, it may sound pretty negative. But really considering the age of the device and the ram limitation, the developers have done a wonderful job getting Android 10 to run on this device. Doing a little self memory management, the device runs just fine.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jhford:
Thanks, but please describe "self memory management."
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] grmcdorman:
Just installed this on my Nexus; looks very nice except for some WiFi issues:

* 2.4GHz won't connect at all. From what I can see on my AP - a WRT-1900AC V1 running DD-WRT - the tablet never even starts negotiation, as nothing for the 2.4GHz channel shows up in the log.

* As mentioned back in January, 5GHz is flaky; on boot, it doesn't see 5GHz APs. WiFi needs to be turned off and then on again to see the APs. I haven't used it long enough to see if it's stable after that, though. WifiAnalayzer (from F-Droid) also does not see any 5GHz APs, even when the tablet is connected.

Will update as I use it
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jhford:
Does this mean that further development of this ROM has been terminated, and if so what does everyone plan to do?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] n3kf:
I just use recent button and swipe away unused apps. Watching a memory manager you can see the free moves up when this is done. I find my device gets really laggy when free mem gets below 250Mb. Actually I'll say my 2 devices. This isn't unique to this ROM. It's Android 10 in general in this device.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jhford:
You seem knowledgeable. It seems that [MENTION=5480152]followmsi[/MENTION] has stopped supporting this device (I have 3 debs). What do you plan to continue to update Android on your device.

Thanks
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] n3kf:

Thinking of moving over from LOS17

I am currently on lineage 17.0 was thinking of giving this a try if the following are functional:

1) live display

2) lower brightness setting than lineage. Lineage 17 is at a brightness setting of 5 instead of 0 which is much too bright for use at night.

3) wireless display

Let me know! Thanks!

Again .. not sure if there will be time left for Android 11 development.

If there is time left I will start with lineage-18 in the next months.

Like for lineage-17 I will ask [MENTION=7280276]ipdev[/MENTION] for help on testing and fixing. :D

For Android 11 it's not sure if I will find the time to work on AEX as well.

Maybe just Lineage for this year.

As well it depends on how many problems/issues we will have on Android 11.

Maybe there are some "showstopper" for flo/deb devices.

I will update this thread if there are any news !

Is there a double tap to wake up the device when screen sleeps?

Its not a big deal, but I would appreciate it if possible

Thank you again

Use one of the custom kernels from followmsi's posts here, they have it, then you should be able to enable DT2W in whatever kernel tweak app you want.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Sib64:
Hi,

I've got a N7 LTE, and come from CrDroid 2.5 (7.1.1)

Wipe Dalvik and cache

Install your TWRP Version 3.1.0-4 without problem, reboot recovery

Wipe system, Dalvik and cache

Flash AOSP_7.1.2_r2_N2G47E_deb-ota-eng.followmsi-v2.zip and SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip.

Reboot system.

After reboot, I've got a Pop-up "the process com.android.phone has stopped working - Closing app"

something like that. I cannot open something, always open and I cannot close this Pop-up.

Re-install all with the previous process plus flash nano Gapps after a reboot system

Pop-up still present!!!

First time that I have this bug...:eek:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] followmsi:
Don't know the status of miracast .. but youtube on 60fps is an iusse in v2.

Pls test the flo version ..

1. Use google :) .. for example: http://thedroidguy.com/2017/03/how-...e-process-com-android-phone-has-stopped-90124

2. Clear cache and data of the phone app first - reboot and test.

3. If all this is not helping you need to do a factory reset via TWRP-

Good luck !

Changes:

- Some changes in /hardware/qcom/media - to solve youtube 720p / 60fps video freeze.

- Still the same EX kernel .. no need to change a good stable kernel.

- Still the same "old" view .. change with ro.recents.grid=true in build.prop -> 3 : 3 right now !

- Still the same installer .. will keep your gapps installation.

Sorry .. it's not your fault.

Pls download same EX kernel file again .. just have pushed updated version.

Does it work now ?

It's due to wrong "supported.versions" in AK3 kernel installer .. was still on 10 :(

This means the TEN kernel can not be installed onto 11 due to wrong "supported.versions" in installer.

Of course, you can unzip and change "supported.versions" yourself.

The ROM installer has no problems .. it was just the new EX kernel in KERNEL subfolder.

As I know .. Android 11 does require Magisk 21.x !

20.4 will work up to Android 10.

Just download from Github .. https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/tag/v21.1

I have used 21.1 on several other devices running R .. works ok.

But backup script seems to be missing .. or is not working yet.

Unlike to 20.4 on Android 10 - you will have to install Magisk after each ROM update again .. manually.
