Native Media3 Migration

All legacy media components have been fully migrated to AndroidX Media3. This removes obsolete dependencies, improves cold-start performance, and ensures compatibility with Android 15.

🚀 What's New

🎨 Expressive UI & Theming

  • Adaptive Material You — every surface (player sheet, bottom sheets, sliders, widgets, and Quick Settings tiles) now extracts and animates HSL colors from album artwork in real time.
  • Predictive back gestures — fully supported across the player sheet and navigation flows on Android 15+.
  • Spring-physics animations — mini-player, queue reordering, and tab transitions now use natural physics-based motion.
  • Share cards — generate frosted-glass, blurred-artwork share cards with wavy seekbar animations for Snapchat stories, Instagram DMs, and system share sheets.
  • Entry screen customization — set your default landing tab to Home, Explore, Search, or Library.

🧠 Generative AI & Smart Mixes

  • AI Music Assistant — describe a mood, activity, or genre blend (e.g., "rainy Sunday acoustic", "high-intensity synthwave workout") and get an instant, personalized queue.
  • 8 Smart Mix generation modes — Top Tracks, Recent Tracks, Similar Tracks, Similar Artists, Genre, Recommendations, Loved Tracks, and Discovery Mix.
  • Retention policies — auto-delete AI-generated playlists after 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or keep them forever.
  • Smart naming — playlists auto-named in GenZ style: "My Vault", "On Repeat", "Algorhythm", "Vibe Check".
  • In-place regeneration — updating an existing AI playlist overwrites it instead of duplicating.
  • Multi-provider support — Gemini, DeepSeek, OpenAI, Groq, and Mistral backends are supported via user-configurable API keys.

🌐 Hybrid Streaming

  • YouTube Music — stream the full catalog ad-free, sign in securely via WebView to sync liked tracks, playlists, and subscribed artists.
  • Telegram — connect your account to stream and index audio from channels, chats, and Saved Messages. Full metadata extraction and offline caching included.
  • Google Drive — browse and stream high-resolution personal libraries from cloud folders without consuming local storage.
  • Local Library — scan device storage for FLAC, ALAC, WAV, APE, OPUS, OGG, MP3, and M3U playlists. Full metadata tagging, ReplayGain, and album-art management.
  • Deezer enrichment — auto-fetches high-quality artist images and backgrounds for all cataloged artists.

🎤 Lyrics Pipeline

  • Synchronized LRC — automated fetch from LRCLIB with scroll-synced display.
  • Manual offset — fine-tune sync timing with millisecond granularity.
  • Offline cache — lyrics are stored in the local database for offline playback.
  • Translation & romanization — on-the-fly translation and romanization for CJK and Cyrillic tracks.

⚡ Audio Engine

  • Media3 ExoPlayer — latest Android media framework with custom caching pipelines.
  • FFmpeg extension — native decoding for lossless FLAC, ALAC, WAV, APE, OPUS, OGG, and legacy MP3.
  • 10-band equalizer — professional hardware EQ with presets: Bass Booster, Vocal, Treble, Classical, Rock, Pop, Jazz, Flat, and Custom.
  • Bass boost, spatial virtualizer, and loudness enhancer — available on all supported devices.
  • EBU R128 volume normalization — consistent loudness across local files, streaming, and cloud sources.
  • Gapless playback & crossfade — configurable crossfade from 0 to 15 seconds with seamless transitions.

📲 Connectivity & Ecosystem

  • Android Auto — full MediaLibraryService compliance with browse, search, and voice-command support.
  • Chromecast — cast local files and streams to TVs, Chromecast dongles, and Nest speakers with improved reconnection stability.
  • Wear OS companion — independent watch playback, queue transfer, offline caching, and remote phone control.
  • Quick Settings tiles — Shuffle All and Resume Last Playlist tiles available immediately after install.
  • Glance widgets — Material 3 home-screen widgets (4×1 bar, 4×2 control, 2×2 grid) with interactive playback controls and live album art.
  • Last.fm & ListenBrainz scrobbling — native background scrobbling with offline buffering.

📊 Stats & Insights

  • Playback statistics hub — daily listening time, favorite genres, top artists, top albums, and most-played tracks.
  • Listening timeline — visualize your habits by hour, day, week, month, or year with animated bar charts.
  • Track concentration — donut-chart breakdown showing how much your top 3 tracks dominate your listening.

🔧 Improvements Since v0.5.05

  • APK size — reduced by up to 60 % through per-ABI splits, native library compression, and debug-symbol stripping.
  • Cold start — improved by ~25 % thanks to R8 full-mode optimization and baseline profile dex layout.
  • Explore screen — phased lazy loading renders Home, Charts, and New Releases in under 1 second; heavy background queries are deferred to concurrent workers.
  • Database — Room queries are now fully thread-safe with optimized indexing, preventing ANRs on libraries exceeding 50,000 tracks.
  • MIUI / HyperOS lockscreen — custom artwork provider reliably bypasses Xiaomi lockscreen background restrictions.
  • Chromecast — eliminated audio drift during long sessions and reduced reconnection drops by 40 %.
  • Wear OS — album art now renders correctly for transferred tracks; queue sync latency reduced by 50 %.
  • AI generation — added exponential-backoff retry logic for slow networks; timeouts reduced from 30 s to 15 s.
  • Lyrics offset — slider state now survives configuration changes (rotation, theme switch, dark mode toggle).
  • Share cards — fixed blank render on devices with forced dark mode or low GPU memory.
  • Telegram — library scan now indexes channel audio immediately without requiring an app restart.
  • Memory — resolved leak in MediaFileHttpServerService during extended Telegram streaming sessions.
  • Backup/restore — fixed R8 ClassCastException on Gson-backed restore in release builds.
  • Google Drive — graduated from Beta; folder pagination now handles 10,000+ files reliably.

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Fixed crash when switching from local playback to YouTube Music streaming mid-queue.
  • Fixed occasional ANR when importing large M3U playlists with malformed paths.
  • Fixed equalizer preset not persisting after device reboot on some Samsung devices.

  • Fixed Glance widgets freezing on Android 15 beta launchers.
  • Fixed Spotify-style share cards clipping long track titles on small screens.
  • Fixed AI playlist generation failing silently when API key had trailing whitespace.
  • Fixed ReplayGain values not applying to OPUS files after metadata edit.
  • Fixed baseline profile installer consuming >100 MB on first launch for some users.

📲 Downloads

Architecture APK Typical Devices
arm64-v8a (recommended) pixelmusic-1.0.06-arm64-v8a.apk Snapdragon 835+, Exynos 8895+, MediaTek Helio G90+, Google Tensor, all phones from 2017 onward
armeabi-v7a pixelmusic-1.0.06-armeabi-v7a.apk Older 32-bit devices, budget phones pre-2018
x86_64 pixelmusic-1.0.06-x86_64.apk Android emulators, Intel tablets, Chromebooks

Not sure which one to pick?

  1. Go to Settings → About Phone.
  2. Look for Processor or CPU.
  3. If it says 64-bit, ARMv8, AArch64, or lists a Snapdragon 6/7/8-series chip, download arm64-v8a.
  4. When in doubt, arm64-v8a is the safest choice.

🛠️ Installation

  1. Download the correct APK for your device architecture from the table above.
  2. Open the file on your Android device (via browser downloads, Telegram, or file manager).
  3. Tap Install.
  4. If you see a security prompt, tap Settings and allow installation from this source.
  5. Launch Pixel Music from your app drawer.

First-time sideloaders: Android may show a "Play Protect" warning for apps outside the Play Store. Tap More details → Install anyway to proceed. Pixel Music does not contain malware; this warning is standard for all non-Play-Store APKs.

⬆️ Upgrading from v0.5.05

Your existing data is preserved automatically:

  • Playlists, favorites, and playback history
  • Downloaded/offline lyrics and artwork cache
  • AI-generated playlists (subject to your retention policy)
  • Settings, equalizer presets, and API keys

Note: Due to the new per-ABI packaging, you must uninstall the old universal APK first before installing the arm64-v8a / armeabi-v7a / x86_64 APK. Android will not allow a direct update because the package signatures differ in split mode.

Backup tip: Use the built-in Settings → Backup & Restore → Export to create a .pxpl file before uninstalling, then import it after installing v1.0.06.

⚠️ Known Issues

  • Snapchat story sharing requires the Snapchat app to be installed and logged in. On very low-end devices (2 GB RAM), blurred background effects may fallback to a solid color.
  • AI playlist generation requires an active internet connection and a valid provider API key. Free-tier API keys may encounter rate limits during peak hours; the app will retry automatically.
  • Android Auto voice search for Telegram channels is not yet supported; use on-screen browse instead.
  • Google Drive folder load time for 10,000+ files may exceed 5 seconds on slow connections; caching improves subsequent visits.

📣 Feedback & Support

  • Telegram Channel: @PixelMusicApp — announcements, APK mirrors, and community support.
