Gemini Nano Hub — Main branch only
A new "Nano" task in the LLM section gives Pixel 9+ users access to six on-device ML Kit features powered by Gemini Nano via AICore, Over kill the Application could already do this, however this uses NPU/TPU and works a little different.
(NPU/TPU-accelerated, fully offline):
- Summarize — condense long text into a concise summary
- Proofread — grammar and style corrections with diff view
- Rewrite — rewrite text in a chosen tone (Formal, Casual, Shorter, etc.)
- Chat — multi-turn conversation with Gemini Nano (see below)
- Describe Image — caption any photo from your gallery or live camera
- Speech → Text — on-device speech recognition
Proofread and Rewrite support document attachment — pick a PDF, TXT, or MD file and its content is passed as context.
▎ First use: AICore will download Gemini Nano in the background (~1–2 GB). Wi-Fi recommended. One-time only.
💬 Nano Chat — Persistent multi-session
Nano Chat now saves conversation history to the existing encrypted SQLCipher database. Each session is listed by name, resumable, and can be
renamed or deleted. Sessions are auto-titled from the first message. Long-press any bubble to copy it.
Document Q&A
📸 Describe Image — Live Camera
Describe Image now has a Gallery tab and a Live Camera tab. Tap Capture to snap the current camera frame and send it to Nano for a description — no
need to save the photo first.
Themes — Catppuccin & Dracula
Three-way theme picker in Settings: System (Material You) / Catppuccin (14 accent colours) / Dracula (7 accent colours). Your choice persists
across restarts with no first-frame flicker.
Background Removal — Main branch only
New tool in the Image Generation section. Removes the background from any photo using ML Kit Subject Segmentation — outputs a transparency-preserving PNG. Includes a "Trim transparent edges" option. Save or share the result.
Security
Two new toggles in Settings:
- Tap jacking protection (on by default) — blocks touch events when an overlay is detected on the window
- Accessibility data sensitivity (off by default) — hides app content from untrusted accessibility services. Note: incompatible with TalkBack if
enabled.
Bug Fixes
- Snapdragon 8 Elite NPU model — download progress was showing >100% (e.g. 112%) because the declared file size was copied from the GPU model in
error. Corrected to 3.02 GB. NPU-only accelerator changed to npu,gpu,cpu so a failed NPU init falls back to GPU instead of crashing the app. - Startup crash / Retry crash — fixed a null-pointer crash in the model list sort comparator that triggered on first launch and again when tapping
Retry on the error dialog. - LaTeX in table cells — inline math expressions inside markdown table cells no longer wrap across multiple lines.
- Import button — removed the "GGUF · LiteRT" subtitle from the home screen import button.
