What's new in
- Added armv7 support
- Fixed crashes on Android 10
- Fixed an issue where some tracks were not showing up in the track list or in the track count (US database is actually 69k tracks, not 53k)
- Added an option to change the lockscreen overlay text colour
- The lockscreen overlay text now has a slight shadow, improving visibility
- Added caching for updates, which should prevent rate-limit issues. You can force an update check (ignoring cache) by swiping to refresh.
- Enabled landscape orientation
- Fixed background crashes in Now Playing, which may help download issues.
- Improved Magisk On Demand module overlay installing, which may fix bootloops on some devices
Note: Due to issues with the backend database update system, there have been two database updates in the last two days. This is now fixed, and future updates will be timely rather than all at once. Apologies for any inconvenience.
About
This release does not have a Play Store Description, so we grabbed one from version 2.0.2:
Ambient Music Mod | Now Playing
Ambient Music Mod is a Shizuku or root app that ports Now Playing from Pixels to other Android devices.
Requirements
- Android device running Android 9.0 or above (11+ recommended). ARM64 is currently required.
- Shizuku (Android 12+) or root access (Android 9+).
- Shizuku does not require root, instead needing an ADB command to be run every reboot.
Features
- Full Now Playing support, based on the latest version from Pixel devices and the latest music databases
- Automatic Ambient Music recognition, with settings to control how often recognition runs - finding the right balance between battery usage and convenience
- Now Playing History and Favourites support
- Support to trigger recognitions manually, including a homescreen widget
- On Demand recognition on supported devices, using the Google Assistant-backed recognition engine for songs that are not in the local database (must be triggered manually)
- Show Now Playing songs on the lock screen (accessibility service required)
- View the full track list of recognisable songs, and change the database location if your taste does not match your device's locale
