SimpMusic (Bao) 2026.11.09.2 — Android Auto plays tapped search results

Personal build of the fork (package com.maxrave.simpmusic.bao). Supersedes bao-2026.11.09.1.

commit-time: 1794221378

Phones already on a bao- build offer this update on their next launch. To install by hand, most phones want arm64-v8a; universal works on any device but is larger.

Signed with the shared bao key (BAO_KEYSTORE in local.properties). A phone holding a build signed with a different key cannot update: back up in Settings, uninstall, install, then restore.

vivo

SimpMusic-vivo-bao-2026.11.09.2.apk is the same build for vivo phones, for Origin Island and the music widget (package com.spotify.music, arm64 only). It cannot be installed next to the real Spotify, keeps its own data, and does not update itself.

Mac

• Apple Silicon (M1 or later): SimpMusic-2.5.0.12-mac-aarch64.dmg
• Intel Mac: SimpMusic-2.5.0.12-mac-amd64.dmg

Open the DMG and drag SimpMusic into Applications. Needs macOS 15 or later. Signed and notarized by Apple.

Apple Silicon Macs no longer crash a few minutes in. The Java bundled with the app (21.0.2) had a compiler bug on Apple Silicon that closed the app at random; the app now carries Java 21.0.12. This version also opens without internet without quitting, and looks for updates by itself. Mac files built from 78a1d37a with core 6a3001c.

Windows

SimpMusic-Windows-installer.zip (Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit).

First install: right-click the zip → Properties → tick Unblock → OK. Then Extract All, open the folder, double-click install.bat and click Yes when Windows asks for admin rights. Skip the Unblock step and Smart App Control blocks install.bat; if it still does, follow the by-hand steps. This replaces the old unsigned .msi, which Smart App Control blocks outright, and removes it if it is installed.

From this version on, the app looks for updates by itself and installs them through the same install.bat. Copies on 2.5.0.10 or on the old .msi cannot see updates, so install this one by hand once. This version also opens without internet without quitting, and carries Java 21.0.12. Windows file built from 78a1d37a with core 6a3001c.

Nhạc Nhẽo 2026.11.08.4: songs no longer stick at 00:00 with crossfade on

• Songs no longer get stuck at 00:00 (Android): with crossfade on, if your connection dropped while the app was getting a song ready, that song could later start silent at 00:00 with the pause icon showing, and only skipping got out of it. The app now reloads the song instead, so it may start a moment late.
• No more giant time on the progress bar: dragging the bar on a song that hasn't loaded yet could show a time like 71090750549:44. That drag is now ignored and the bar snaps back.

Nhạc Nhẽo 2026.11.08.3: tablets rotate and get the Windows layout

• Tablets rotate: small tablets, and tablets set to a larger display size, were treated as phones and stayed in portrait. They now rotate.
• Tablet layout: a tablet held sideways, or any Android window at least 840dp wide, now gets the Windows layout: sidebar, floating player and full-size player page. Upright tablets keep the current layout. This layout is new and hasn't been tried on a real tablet yet, so please report anything that looks wrong.

Nhạc Nhẽo 2026.11.08.1: new desktop player and Windows installer

• Windows installer: Nhạc Nhẽo now installs on Windows from an .msi, with Start Menu and desktop shortcuts and a Launch box when setup finishes.
• New desktop player: a full-size view with the cover on the left and Queue and Lyrics tabs on the right, a small panel beside Home, or closed. The > arrow steps it down, and the album moves between its spots as it changes size.
• Crossfade on the big screen: the full-size player shows the two-cover crossfade too.
• Windows title bar: it now matches the app's theme instead of staying white.
• Desktop Settings: popups open inside the Settings panel, and Android-only notes are gone.
• Android: almost nothing changes. Settings lists are narrower on tablets and unfolded screens, and one reverb help line is shorter.

Nhạc Nhẽo 2026.11.07.2: sideways crash fixed, phones stay in portrait

• Sideways crash fixed: with Liquid glass on, turning the phone sideways could crash the app.
• Phones stay in portrait: the app no longer rotates on a regular phone, including fullscreen video.
• Unfolded Fold, tablet and DeX: these still rotate, and now use a side rail instead of a rail and a bottom bar at once.

Nhạc Nhẽo 2026.11.07.1: black-and-white theme, stricter lyrics, quality per network

• Black and white: the app now has one monochrome look, so the Theme color setting is gone.
• Stricter lyrics: lyrics are matched to the exact recording, and there are new sources. Choosing a source for a song applies at once, so you can try them in turn.
• Quality per network: separate settings for Wi-Fi, mobile data and downloads.
• Settings restyle: every row has an icon, in tighter cards with large titles.
• Donate: a donate row in the app, with an occasional prompt.
