# ALN - AirPods like Normal
|
||
*Access AirPods' Apple-exclusive features on linux and android!*
|
||
### Check out the packet definitions at [AAP Definitions](/AAP%20Definitions.md)
|
||
|
||
## Tested device(s)
|
||
- AirPods Pro 2
|
||
|
||
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).
|
||
|
||
## Implemented Features
|
||
|
||
| Feature | Linux | Android |
|
||
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||
| Ear Detection | ✅ | ✅ |
|
||
| Conversational Awareness | ✅ | ✅ |
|
||

|
||

|
||
| Rename AirPods | ✅ | ✅ |
|

|
||
|
||
## Linux
|
||
Check out the README file in [linux](/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](https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/371713238) that prevents this from working (psst, go upvote!)
|
||
|
||
### Workaround
|
||
Download the required files from Releases. Donload the required based on your Android’s version. Currently, I have only built patched libraries for Android 14, and 15, and have tested on stock android. I am not sure if the same libraries would work for other android skins. Try at your own risk!!
|
||
|
||
- 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.sh` in `/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 hy Google devs, 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:
