README
**Ambient Music Mod** | [Now Playing](https://github.com/KieronQuinn/NowPlaying)
Ambient Music Mod is a Shizuku/Sui app that ports Now Playing from Pixels to other Android devices.
## Requirements
- Android device running Android 9.0 or above (11+ recommended).
- Shizuku (Android 12+) or Sui Magisk module (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, Favourites and Summary 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

## Building

2. Create a `local.properties` file in the root of the project, and set it up:
```
sdk.dir=
storeFile=
keyAlias=
storePassword=
keyPassword=
```
3. Open the project in Android Studio
4. Set the Build Variant to release
5. Run and install a build of `app` as normal
### Building the Magisk Overlay Module
1. Open the project in Android Studio
2. Run the `:ondemandoverlay:buildOverlay` task. A module zip will be built and placed in `ondemandoverlay/build/module`.
