[Bug/Feature Request?] Fake AirPods "Pro 4 TWS" #221

Device: Razer Phone 2
OS: Android 9 - Stock

I had recently purchased (via AliExpress's Grow to Get program, otherwise I would not have bothered, as the battery is not user-replaceable) a set of fake AirPods, and attempting to use CAPods with them was odd, to say the least.

At first they were immediately detected, as fake Gen3 AirPods, except that only one earpiece was detected by CAPods (the case was not detected either, even if it should be detected), and CAPods thought that it was in call mode (airplane mode was on, by the way, with no calling apps running), however running diagnostics did not help, and instead CAPods only sometimes detected the earphones as compatible devices (or device, as the same issues as in the start happened, except that it was being detected as Gen2 instead of Gen3), while most of the time was unable to detect the earphones as compatible devices at all, even if I set the device address from the settings.

Additionally, it turns out that Razer's ROM supports the AAC Bluetooth codec, however when CAPods is running, the OS stops recognizing the AAC support, until I force close CAPods and reconnect to the earphones (sometimes two reconnects are necessary to restore AAC support).

Otherwise, the earphones (both) are working as expected, though I have yet to test all of the gestures (there seems to be inaccuracies in the manual, as tapping and holding for two seconds turns off or on the respective earpiece instead of doing anything on the list.

Here are the addresses, as provided by Gadgetbride (when logs are necessary, I shall provide them):
TWS, 41:42:4C:88:A4:9D, 00000000-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb, 0000110b-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb, 0000111e-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb, 0000110e-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb
