I was excited when I got my new mi 8 lite. I have owned a few redmi note 4x and this was a good upgrade. Liked the fact that it had usb-c and Bluetooth 5.0. I had an older set of tws bt 4.2 earbuds and figured I would uodate to some bt 5.0 earbuds. Found a decent pair of mpow t5 and the problems started. I was running miui v10 pie and they would pair but never connect. Now problems with miui v10 oreo or any aosp roms but all miui based pie wouldn't work.
Over the next few months I would try different fixes I could think of. Different firmware, different kernels, edits of all kinds of files. I would compare aosp/miui pie/miui oreo for any differences. Nothing worked. Then I tried a miui pie gsi based off mi mix 3 and my mpow earbuds finally worked.
So finally after swapping out the Bluetooth library files from the mix 3 I have my headphones working.
I have not seen anyone posting about this issue but if anyone has problems I will be uploading the files and linking them in this thread. I will make a flashable zip to make things easy.
Files will be here soon

After a nasty 3-day brick, I got my Note II back up and running with Cyanide (Tablet style version, since I only use WiFi on this device), Shift and gapps all working, Netflix working. THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR TIPS.
I use apps like Caustic for writing music on my Android devices. I record performances from an external MIDI keyboard over OTG. Under kitkat, latency was way to high to do this. Notes would sound long after I pressed a key on the keyboard. On my Note Pro 12.2, when I switched to CWM 12 (lollipop) from stock kitkat, the issue was fixed. I could set Caustic to use Open Sles with low latency and it worked great. My Note 4 came stock with lollipop and SAPA and it, too, works great with external MIDI.
I was hoping to get similar performance from the Note II, though I realize it has a slower CPU with only 4 cores. However I figured lollipop would be better than kikat. But once I finally got Cyanide installed, I'm still getting too much latency to use MIDI keyboards.
So I'm wondering about CM12.x.x for the Note II, and if the latency would be any better than Cyanide. Cyanide includes some audio enhancements built in, which, though they may enrich the sound quality for listening to music and videos, could be adding some latency with the additional processing. CW12 on my Note Pro is great for low latency audio, and is all around a "lighter" feeling ROM but I don't know if that's just the octacore processor of that device. I definitely noticed a huge difference between stock touchwiz kitkat and CW on the Note Pro. Cyanide actually seems a bit SLOWER than some of the debloated kitkat ROMs for Note II, but being kitkat, they don't have the low latency audio support of lollipop. (Even if the rest of the user experience seems faster)
Does anyone know anything about how Cyanide differs from CM12 in terms of audio processing? I would "just try it" and flash CW and see if it works...but after that multiple-day brick and all the steps to get it working and set up, I'm a little cautious about flashing stuff capriciously.
And since I also want to watch netflix... I realize netflix doesn't work on CW12 for Note II.... In the Cyanide thread's OP, it mentions flashing Shift, which enables netflix (and sure enough works on my Note II). I searched the CW12 thread but couldn't find anything that indicated if I could flash Shift (and which version) to get netflix working on CM12.

The best advice we could ever get on XDA.
Anyway, this doesn't solve the issue, I had the same thing on Resurrection Remix and Lineage OS both on stock and GUYVER kernels.

Try a rom that isn't based on LOS...
Hiiiiiii, right just wanted to say that I've been having the same problem with my sennheisers and the best tom for Bluetooth in my experience is Xiaomi EU. Hope this helps
Don't block the line of sight from the phone to the headphones with any body part, then it should be better. It's a normal issue of bluetooth, depending on the built in Class of bluetooth hardware.
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.
As a user of S8,S8+ and other android phones, my earphones work perfectly without any audio loss. Same with my PC. But with my redmi note 8 on MIUI, I have some audio loss. I can feel it in my ears :cyclops: .
What I have experienced is that with any AOSP 9 or 10 roms, the audio is perfect like any of my other phones. But with MIUI and every MIUI ROM I experience some kind of audio and bass loss ??
I really don't know if I'm the only one experiencing this. Let me know.
Also I've used on MIUI v4afx, JamesDSP, and Dolby but still they don't work as good as with AOSP ROMS.
Does anyone have an idea why this is happening and how can I fix this somehow ? Thanks.
Hello everyone,
Yesterday i installed miuimix stable on Poco F3. Since, my audio quality is less good than on stock rom. It's even more noticeable with my bluetooth headset, where the audio is really bad with some cracking/white sound while listening. I'm not sure why because it's a custom rom based xiaomi.eu himself based on the stock one.
Is there some people who has encountered the same kind of people?
Thx for your time !
For me on Pixel Extended 11 audio is perfect with Aurvana platinum. Aptx is working.
