Linux
Check out the README file in linux folder for more info.
This tray app communicates with a daemon with the help of a UNIX socket. The daemon is responsible for the actual communication with the AirPods. The tray app is just a frontend for the daemon, that does ear-detection, conversational awareness, setting the noise-cancellation mode, and more.
Android
Currently, there's a bug on android that prevents this from working (psst, go upvote!)
Workaround
- Create a folder structure like this:
/data/local/tmp/overlay:
upper work
/data/local/tmp/overlay/upper:
libbluetooth_jni.so
- Copy the overlay and name it overlay2.
- Place
bt.shin/data/adb/post-fs-data.d/ - create a folder in /data/adb/modules/
/data/adb/modules/btl2capfix:
module.prop
/data/adb/modules/btl2capfix/system/lib64:
libbluetooth_jni.so
- Now, you have the bug in android's bluetooth stack fixed.
But once that's fixed, or you have fixed the issue using root, download the APK, and you're off!
I don't know how to write READMEs for android apps, because they're just that, apps. So, here are two screenshots of the app:
Quick Tile to toggle Conversational Awareness and to switch Noise Control modes, and Battery Widget (App and AndroidSystemIntelligence)/Notification coming soon!!
