MonetCompat is an app-level implementation of kdrag0n's custom Monet implementation, used in his android12-extensions module. It supports Android 5.0 and above (in Palette compatibility mode) and Android 8.1 and above in normal mode.

MonetCompat is currently in beta, so feedback and bug reports are greatly appreciated. It's also not currently known if Google will provide their own backwards compatibility library for Monet with Android 12's release, so this library may be replaced by an official one eventually.

No proprietary Google code is used in this project, and thus it is licensed with the MIT license for use in third party apps.

Platform Support

As mentioned above, MonetCompat supports Android 5.0 and above. There are however a few of configurations to consider:

Platform	Static Wallpaper	Live Wallpaper
Android 5.0 - 8.0 (no Palette)	❌	❌
Android 5.0 - 8.0 (with Palette)	✔	❌
Android 8.0+	✔	✔ *

* Live Wallpapers must implement WallpaperService.onComputeColors for color extraction.
