Other devices might work too. Features like ear detection and battery should be available for any AirPods! Although the app will show unsupported features/settings. I will not be able test any other devices than the ones I already have (i.e. the AirPods Pro 2).

### Installation
Currently, there's a [bug in the Android Bluetooth stack](https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/371713238) that prevents the app from working (upvote the issue - click the '+1' icon on the top right corner of IssueTracker). This repository provides a workaround for the bug, specifically for Android 14 QPR3 and Android 15 initial release and the QPR1 update (stock versions).

### Workaround
To install it, just download the `btl2capfix.zip` from the latest release and install it from your root manager app.
#### Step 1: Download the Required Files
- Go to the [first release](https://github.com/kavishdevar/aln/releases/tag/v0.0.1).
- Download the required files depending upon your Android version - `bt.sh`, `module.prop`, and `libbluetooth_jni-a14.so` (for android 14) or `libbluetooth_jni-a15.so` (for android 15).
#### Step 2: Set Up the Directory Structure
- Use a file manager with root access (eg. Solid FIle Explorer or MT manager) or a shell (using adb, or a terminal app like Termux) and create a folder structure like this (`upper` and `work` are also folders):
```
/data/local/tmp/overlay:
upper
work
```
- Rename the appropriate file to `libbluetooth_jni.so` and place it in the `upper` folder
```
/data/local/tmp/overlay/upper:
libbluetooth_jni.so
```
- Create a duplicate of the overlay folder inside tmp and name it overlay2.
#### Step 3: Add the Boot Script
- Place the `bt.sh` script in `/data/adb/post-fs-data.d/`.
- This script ensures the fix is applied during system startup.
#### Step 4: Create a Magisk Module
- Create a `btl2capfix` folder in `/data/adb/modules/` and copy the `module.prop`into the folder.
```
/data/adb/modules/btl2capfix:
module.prop
```
- Create `system/lib64` under `btl2capfix` and copy the `libbluetooth_jni.so` into `lib64`
```
/data/adb/modules/btl2capfix/system/lib64:
libbluetooth_jni.so
```
#### Step 5: Verify the Fix
- Reboot your device.
- The Bluetooth bug should now be resolved.
Once the issue is resolved by Google developers or you've addressed it through the above root-based method, download and install the `app-release.apk` from the releases, and you're good to go!
