ive read conflicting reports.. some saying that its physically impossible on snapdragon 625 devices, and others stating that its possible on unsupported devices with specific roms. Anyone care to shed some light for me?
aptX is a proprietary codec; inclusion to a device requires the vendor to pay licensing fees to Qualcomm. So, if vendor doesn't do that, we shouldn't do it either.

Yes,it is possible. I had aptX working on nougat but it just refuses to work on oreo for some reason.
If you re on nougat just look up for aptx.zip somewhere on xda ..oneplus 3 forums if I remember corectly.
ok understood!
ive just built a nice new high end soundsystem, and included an apt-x bluetooth receiver.. would be a crying shame if my phone didnt support it. I ordered this phone 2 days ago, assuming casually that all modern bluetooth devices would support aptx.
Nope,they actually don't. There are many new/old phones(even flagships) that don't support APTX
I've got aptx working on oreo as well. You just have to flash a custom rom and then flash aptx from here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...-aptx-aptxhd-oreo-beta-25-16-op-3-3t-t3690363
Thanks everyone. seems positive.
one thing i dont understand. if its just a codec, which needs licensing, why do qualcomm specify it as only being supported by certain cpus?
see here under "audio technology" :
https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/processors/comparison
snapdragon 625 notably doesnt list aptx

[Aptx was already working on my Redmi 2, 8GB ROM, 1GB RAM (Model HM 2014811) after installing CM 14.1 & Aptx through TWRP, (but it was not working on MIUI 6, CM11)]
In case of Redmi Note 4 the following method is successful.

Fresh installed without setting any screen lock, password, finger print , google account Mi account (this is suspected to lead to data corruption, if it happens we have to flash above MIUI10 full fastboot ROM again, hence all files better to be saved on external SD Card)
Windows : Windows 10 v1707, 64 bit , Pda net installed.
