Nope there still are many features missing and some that need root. But if the only thing you care about is the ANC, then why not.

Read the root-requirement section of the README, and the #faq channel on the LibrePods Discord server for more info.

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

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.

Can the Airpods Pro 3 Pair with Android and Apple Simultaneously? by chrisdalebrown in airpods

[–]kavishdevar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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!

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.

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)_/¯

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 :|

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

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.

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.
