Available now
Xiaomi Speaker Mod Service
Own a China-market Xiaomi AI speaker (OH2P / LX06) that barely works abroad? I mod it remotely: your XiaoAi stays, and a second AI voice is added for real-time, continuous conversation.
What you get
- Remote installation — no need to ship your speaker
- XiaoAi remains available for its usual functions
- A second AI voice for natural, back-and-forth conversation
- Installer package + step-by-step guide + one remote assist session
How it works
- You pay via PayPal and email me your speaker model
- I send the installer package and guide by email
- We do a remote session and get it running on your speaker
The second AI runs on Gemini Live — you bring your own API key, so usage costs stay between you and Google (roughly $1.38/hr of talk time as a public reference estimate; actual cost varies with use).
Supported models: OH2P, LX06. Other models — ask first, I'll tell you honestly if it works.

What to expect
How delivery works
- You order. Pay via PayPal or email me — tell me your speaker model and country.
- You receive the package. After payment is confirmed, I email you the installer package and a step-by-step guide.
- We install it together. One remote assist session: I walk you through the setup on your own speaker, at your own pace.
- You keep everything. The installer and guide are yours. If a backend API changes later, that's what the annual maintenance tier is for.
Everything is digital and remote — nothing to ship, no waiting for parcels.

lukchong1987@gmail.comAbout
One person, one obsession
Hi, I'm Chong. I run LibreVox solo.
I'm not a big company and I won't pretend to be one. What I am is someone who spent far too many nights figuring out how to make China-market smart speakers actually work abroad — and then packaged everything I learned into installer tools, so people who want to tinker but don't have the technical background don't have to suffer through it alone.
I do the physical testing and keep making the process simpler. An AI assistant helps me with the heavy technical lifting. Every order is handled by me personally — when you email, you get me.
LibreVox exists for one reason: voice hardware you truly own — not rented from a vendor, not bricked by a region lock.
Good questions
FAQ
Do I need to ship my speaker to you?
No. The whole mod is done remotely — you keep your speaker at home the entire time.
Will the mod restore QQ Music or other mainland-only music abroad?
No — and I'd rather tell you straight. Music catalogs are controlled by regional licensing, and no software mod can bring back a catalog that licensing blocks. The mod adds a second AI voice; it doesn't change music rights.
Is my speaker at risk of being bricked?
Any firmware-level change carries some risk, and I won't claim otherwise. The process is reversible in the cases I've tested, and the remote session means I'm with you step by step if anything looks off.
What does the second AI cost to run?
It runs on Gemini Live with an API key you provide. You pay Google directly for usage (public reference estimate is about $1.38/hour of conversation; your actual cost depends on use). I don't take a cut of that.
Can I use the personal license to mod speakers and resell them?
No — the personal license is for your own speakers. If you want to mod in volume commercially, that's what the volume license tier is for. Contact me and we'll work it out.
When will the LibreVox AI speaker be available, and how much?
It's in development — I'm not announcing a date or a price until it's real. Join the waitlist above and you'll hear about it first.
