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
