Update User-Agent for better quality?

Hi,
I just ran into this article saying that Microsoft adjusts the streaming quality based on User-Agent strings. A developer was able to increase the visual quality of their stream by changing the User-Agent to make it look like a Windows computer was connecting. Any chance you can try this with your builds to see if there is an increase in visual quality?
@rvelasquez Thank you, this is interesting to testing that for the new version of Xcloud-shield. I will testing this next days, and you will can participate for testing apk before the final version
Yes, I can help test.
Ooop, didn't mean to close.
I'm happy to participate in some testing if you need some extra hands.
Any update on this?
Hello.

@mistertest please check this out. Looks like even if you use linux edge user agent, things should be alright.
Reddit - Performance and quality improvements on Linux and ChromeOS!
Although I guess using windows 10 edge user agent would be safe.
PS (Edit) - With xcloud-shield v4.4 the resolution is still at 720p. Does v4.4 support 1080p? I’m on Nvidia Shield 2017.
Any update on this?
