📄 Description

not sure if this is gonna stay in this repo (reason below)

So, the current Qt app wasn’t really as updated as the Android app- the maintainer didn’t have time, and it was too different from the Android implementation for me to easily port new stuff.

This new app is built in Rust, using the iced library, and borrowing the AACP and ATT implementation from the Android app. This app also has a much better UI, and now isn’t just limited to AirPods! The AirPods basic implementation like ear detection and conversational awareness is already in place, along with battery and changing ANC mode.

To-Do List

Add basic UI
Device state and connection handling skeleton
- Handle new connections
- Handle disconnections
Improve the tray
- add a channel between window and tray to make the tray update when customized
- handle multiple devices
- handle disconnections
- use devicemanagers instead of a channel between bluetooth thread and tray thread
Misc
- take ear status from LE for taking ownership and audio, not received over AACP without taking control first
Add AACP settings
- Implement the aacp handler
- Add a advanced page which allows sending custom packets and control command values
- Add everything to the UI
ATT related
- Implement the manager
- For some reason, connection is refused by AirPods sometimes; haven’t traced the cause yet
- Handle ATT manager, while keeping it optional- not everyone would change their BlueZ config
- Add the UI: Yet to decide if I want multiple settings pages for each device, or just out everything on a single page under different sections (like transparency settings, and hearing aid settings will take up space, and can be better of separated)
expose everything over dbus
~~Nothing~~ will work on this after airpods so it can be merged first
- ~~Parse notifications~~
- ~~Read battery status from bluez (or something else- it's not sent over ATT)~~
Prepare for distribution
- Add CI for Flatpak
- Add flake.nix
- Possibly, bundle it as an AppImage
