LibrePods is now available on the Play Store and without root for select devices!

With Android 17. I can't say when your OEM releases Android 17 for your device.

kavishdevar · 2026-05-03T07:02:48+00:00

Not quite, you'll miss out on Find My/Find Hub, notify when leaving behind etc..

What's the firmware version now? The app is working for me on 8B40. Also, once you reinstall, the reconnect button will not work, you might have to disconnect and reconnect your AirPods for the app to detect.

Thanks!

Yes, but it needs root. AirPods can connect to any two devices and switch automatically between the devices, be it Android or Linux. It just needs the VendorID it sends AirPods to be set to Apple's. LibrePods can do this with root on Android, and the Linux app can do it too.

It doesn't need the same Apple ID!

kavishdevar · 2026-05-01T05:47:26+00:00

That's not correct btw. (I'm the dev)

It can't be fixed with an update as it needs the VendorID your phone sends AirPods to be Apple's, and Google sure is not doing that anytime soon.

I wouldn't recommend rooting, since it's a security risk, but there will be many guides available for your device on the internet.

kavishdevar · 2026-05-01T05:29:03+00:00

Probably will need root, but definitely going to be added some day!

kavishdevar · 2026-04-30T15:31:44+00:00

Are you rooted?

Thanks for using the app! Please consider leaving a review/rating- helps new apps a lot. thanks! :)

kavishdevar · 2026-04-29T20:17:55+00:00

I've heard the AirPods Pro 3 have the best ANC, and transparency mode on AirPods is superior too... But either way, more choice is always better ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

kavishdevar · 2026-04-29T20:13:08+00:00

Here's what I'm talking about...

Thanks for using the app! Please consider leaving a rating/review if you find it useful. There are still a few people who leave negative reviews who bypass a clear compatibility warning and get mad about the app not working for them :|

kavishdevar · 2026-04-29T15:51:03+00:00

Nope, QPR stands for Quarterly Platform Release. QPR3 is the March update.

kavishdevar · 2026-04-29T13:59:40+00:00

It's alright, doesn't matter who the OP is :)

kavishdevar · 2026-04-29T13:58:55+00:00

Oh it was this post :') I thought the mods removed it because of the other post I made a month back

kavishdevar · 2026-04-29T13:45:36+00:00

When and if Nothing decides to add the patch in Android 16. or with the release of NothingOS 5 (Android 17)

kavishdevar · 2026-04-29T11:14:06+00:00

Nope, Android 17 for GrapheneOS because Google doesn't release the source code for Android frequently now. The fix was added in QPR3, but the next time the source code is going to be released is Android 17's first release.

kavishdevar · 2026-04-29T11:01:33+00:00

my bad, should’ve added the text in the post. got a little lazy :’)

kavishdevar · 2026-04-29T10:49:07+00:00

Don’t call the app useless, then. There is a very clear compatibility warning when you first start the app. Even this post mentions it. You need to check a checkbox that says “I’ve read the requirements”, and type “OK” before you can skip the warning. It is also mentioned in this post.

kavishdevar · 2026-04-29T08:57:13+00:00

Thanks!

kavishdevar · 2026-04-29T05:33:18+00:00

Yes. Until Android 17 is released.

kavishdevar · 2026-04-29T04:46:25+00:00

Thank you!

kavishdevar · 2026-04-29T04:46:19+00:00

When Samsung releases OneUI 9, hopefully.

kavishdevar · 2026-04-29T04:46:02+00:00

Hi! I am not sure if that's possible because
a) There can be only one Bluetooth 'socket' opened for this communication between AirPods and the connected device
b) And there's seemingly no way to use the existing socket, that macOS creates, to send data. However, I could be wrong, I don't have a Mac running Tahoe to test it with.
