From Librepods github: > You must have a rooted device with Xposed to use LibrePods on Android. This is due to a bug in the Android Bluetooth stack. https://github.com/kavishdevar/librepods#root-requirement This bug is referenced here https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/371713238 and a comment from a Google employee on 23/6 says the following: > Thanks for reporting this issue. The change is available as part of Android open source Bluetooth stack starting March 2026. Mobile phone manufacturers will determine when this will be updated on their respective devices. This means then that Android devices that receives this update to the Bluetooth stack no longer need to root their Android devices for Librepods!
In Two year old Android Bluetooth bug fixed, no more root required for librepods
