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!
