About AmbientMusicMod
Ambient Music Mod ports Google Pixel's Now Playing to other Android devices using Shizuku or Sui. It provides automatic ambient recognition with settings for how often it runs, plus history, favourites, summary, manual triggering through a homescreen widget, and on-demand recognition on supported devices for songs not in the local database.
It requires a device running Android 9.0 or above, with Android 11 or above recommended, and either Shizuku on Android 12+ or the Sui Magisk module on Android 9+. Shizuku does not require root but needs an ADB command run after every reboot. Lock screen display requires an accessibility service, and setup downloads and installs the Now Playing APK.

- Now Playing history, favourites and summary support
- Manual recognition trigger including homescreen widget
- On-demand recognition using Google Assistant-backed engine on supported devices
