GPD XD+ CleanROM 2.0.2.0 (A2DP KeepAlive) (Patreon)

Back to the "old" release schedule!

With the last newsletter I've announced that CleanROM will be seeing a bunch of new features as part of a bigger feature update sometime in the future.

The original plan was to bundle all of said planned features into one big release and thus cut down on consecutive releases as much as possible to save you guys time you'd otherwise spend repeatedly installing smaller updates as they get released.

I gave this approach a long hard thought this weekend.

It was a long (overtime-heavy) week. So far I haven't had a single hour to myself yet, and it made me wonder... if time is such a rare commodity for me, just how long would it take me to reliable deliver such a "big" feature update next to my regular job and daily life?

And most importantly, what are you, my patrons, to gain from me stacking and delaying updates in such a way?

After I started thinking about it this way I quickly realized that my original way of doing things around here yielded way more benefits.

By getting newly implemented features out of the door as soon as they pass internal testing not only gives you, my community, access to it, but it will also give me faster user feedback which can then be put to use in future updates.

As such, I'll be going back to my regular "get it out once its done" release schedule.

Now that this is out of the way, let me explain what the new "A2DP keep alive" feature can do for you.

A2DP KeepAlive

If you are anything like me, then you have cut the wire in pretty much everything tech, including headphones & speakers.

As such, I've been through countless Bluetooth headsets, earphones and speakers, trying to find my personal favorite in each category.

There's something for everyone here, these devices come in all sizes (and prices) and all do pretty much the same thing. They beam sound from your device's into your ear.

But sometimes OEM-implemented power-saving functions can interfere with this.

If you've ever experienced awkward pauses in your audio during silent segments of a movie or a device fully disconnected on you after prolonged periods of silence then this feature might be for you.

When this feature is enabled, it will keep the Bluetooth transport open by injecting a small silent audio sample into the stream periodically, essentially circumventing all of the aforementioned power-saving related audio issues.
