+## Bluetooth DID (Device Identification) Hook
+
+Turns out, if you change the manufacturerid to that of Apple, you get access to several special features!
+
+### Multi-device Connectivity
+
+Upto two devices can be simultaneously connected to AirPods, for audio and control both. Seamless connection switching. The same notification shows up on Apple device when Android takes over the AirPods as if it were an Apple device ("Move to iPhone"). Android also shows a popup when the other device takes over.
+
+### Accessibility Settings and Hearing Aid
+
+Accessibility settings like customizing transparency mode (amplification, balance, tone, conversation boost, and ambient noise reduction), and loud sound reduction can be configured.
+
+The hearing aid feature can now also be used. Currently it can only be used to adjust the settings, not actually take a hearing test because it requires much more precision. It is much better to use an already available audiogram result.
+
+>[!NOTE]
+> To enable these features, enable App Settings -> `act as Apple Device`.
+> This only works if you use the Xposed method or patch the library yourself. The root module method does not support this feature currently.
+
 #### Installation Methods
 
 ##### Method 1: Xposed Module (Recommended)
 This method is less intrusive and should be tried first:
 
 1. Install LSPosed, or another Xposed provider on your rooted device
 2. Download the LibrePods app from the releases section, and install it.
-3. Enable the Xposed module for the bluetooth app in your Xposed manager
-4. Follow the instructions in the app to set up the module.
-5. Open the app and connect your AirPods
+3. Enable the Xposed module for the bluetooth app in your Xposed manager.
+4. Disable unmount modules for the Bluetooth app if enabled. 
+5. Follow the instructions in the app to set up the module.
+6. Open the app and connect your AirPods
 
 ##### Method 2: Root Module (Backup Option)
 If the Xposed method doesn't work for you:
 
 1. Download the `btl2capfix.zip` module from the releases section
 2. Install it using your preferred root manager (KernelSU, Apatch, or Magisk).
-3. Reboot your device
-4. Connect your AirPods
+3. Disable Unmount modules for the Bluetooth aop if enabled. 
+4. Reboot your device
+5. Connect your AirPods

 - When renaming your AirPods through the app, you'll need to re-pair them with your phone for the name change to take effect. This is a limitation of how Bluetooth device naming works on Android.

-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> This feature is still in early development and might not work as expected. No support is provided for this feature yet.

-### Features in Development
-
-- **Battery Status Sync**: Get battery status on any device when you connect your AirPods to one of them
-- **Cross-device Controls**: Control your AirPods from either device when connected to one
-- **Automatic Device Switching**: Seamlessly switch between Linux and Android devices based on active audio sources
