2.4

• Added new "minimal" widget in the style of the lock screen overlay (requires Android 12 or above). This is ideal for use on devices which support lock screen widgets, instead of using the overlay. This can be configured in the same lock screen settings as the current options.
• Added option to disable the shadow for the overlay & new widget
• Enabled in-app predictive back where possible
• Fixed an issue where the screen on recognition trigger could be invoked while the main toggle was disabled
• Fixed a suppressed crash when using On Demand recognition on some devices, which was causing the recognition to appear to get stuck
• Various bug fixes

2.3.5

• Fixed widget related crash that was also causing problems elsewhere
• Fixed service start crash on some devices in some scenarios

2.3.4

• Fixed crash when using online recognition with root on some devices

2.3.3

• Fixed an issue where old backups would not be deleted
• Automatically grant the Restricted Settings permission required for the Accessibility Service on Android 14+
• Added keyguard category to widget to allow eventual use on the lockscreen when support is hopefully added to Android

2.3.2

• Fixed screen on recognition not working on some devices
• Fixed externally triggered recognitions not showing on the lock screen
• Updated target SDK to Android 14
• Added support for displaying on the flip display on Samsung devices
• Bug fixes

2.3.1

Fixed crash on Android 14 Beta 3

2.3

• Android 14 Beta 2 support
• Added option to control Ambient Music Mod externally from apps like Tasker with options:
  • Enable Now Playing
  • Disable Now Playing
  • Toggle Now Playing
  • Start an On Device Recognition
  • Start an Online Recognition (if supported & enabled)
• External Access can be protected by an Access Token which must be provided by the apps interacting with it (enabled by default)
• Updated dependencies

For info on how to use External Access, check the page in the app or the Wiki page

2.2.2

2.2.2 changes:

• Fixed On Demand not working via the root method on some devices
• Improved Track Listing info, showing more details on tracks where available and fixing the Ask Google button
• Crash fixes

2.2.x changes:

• Enabled Now Playing Summary in the Now Playing History, a new feature that's not even on Pixels yet, which displays statistics about your listening habits including genre, artists, and timings from the last 30 days (configurable down to 1 day up to 365 days)
• NNFPv3 (the updated model) is now enabled on all devices except legacy armv7. Google have switched Pixels over to using it, indicating music databases for the legacy model may stop being updated at some point.
  Please note that due to format changes, a database update will be forced after updating, and any saved On Demand recognitions will be removed. This is unavoidable, and Google has already done this on Pixel devices with official Now Playing
• Added experimental option to download extra country databases (up to two)
• Added option to periodically (daily/weekly/monthly) back up to a specified location
• Improved track list viewer speed by caching track info in Ambient Music Mod, rather than loading it from the Now Playing database every time. This will increase the storage footprint of Ambient Music Mod, but you can clear the app's cache if it becomes an issue.
• Added a track info viewer to the track list, displaying all available information for a track on one page, including links to play tracks in the database
• Added option to edit and delete stored On Demand tracks
• Updated database downloader, and implemented a system whereby the system Job Scheduler (which is relied on to schedule downloads) gets told to expedite downloads where possible. This should improve the speed of database downloads.
• Improved Lock Screen detection logic
• Fixed an issue where some switches in the app behaved differently depending on whether the text or the switch handle was pressed
• Fixed an issue where notifications for Now Playing were being re-enabled after being disabled by the user on some devices
