# Auxio - Frequently Asked Questions
|
|
|
|
For a list of **supported formats** read [Supported Formats](FORMATS.md)
|
|
|
|
This FAQ will be continually updated as new changes and updates are made to Auxio.
|
|
|
|
## What is Auxio?
|
|
|
|
Auxio is local music player for android that I built for myself, primarily. Its designed to avoid a lot of the feature-bloat and frustrating UX that other FOSS music players have, while still remaining customizable to an extent.
|
|
|
|
## Where can I download Auxio?
|
|
|
|
Auxio is available on the [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.oxycblt.auxio/) repository.
|
|
|
|
## Can I translate Auxio to my native language?
|
|
|
|
See the [Translations](https://github.com/OxygenCobalt/Auxio/issues/3) issue for guidance on how to create translations and submit them to the project. Any contributions are appreciated and
|
|
tend to always be accepted.
|
|
|
|
## How can I contribute/report issues?
|
|
|
|
Open an [Issue](https://github.com/OxygenCobalt/Auxio/issues) or a [Pull Request](https://github.com/OxygenCobalt/Auxio/pulls), please note the [Contribution Guidelines](../.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) and [Accepted Additions](ADDITIONS.md) however.
|
|
|
|
## Why ExoPlayer?
|
|
|
|
ExoPlayer is far more flexible than the native MediaPlayer API, which allows consistent behavior across devices & OEMs amd the ability to be extended to music sources outside of local files. You can read more about the benefits (and drawbacks) of ExoPlayer [Here](https://exoplayer.dev/pros-and-cons.html).
|
|
|
|
## Why cant I have a custom accent?
|
|
|
|
Android themes can't be modified dynamically, making applying a custom theme nearly impossible without duplicating code and having an extremely brittle system. Therefore its not implemented.
|
|
This may change in Android 12 however, if google exposes the APIs for Material U coloring.
|
|
|
|
## Why are accents lighter/less saturated in dark mode?
|
|
|
|
As per the [Material Guidelines](https://material.io/design/color/dark-theme.html), accents should be less saturated on dark mode to reduce eye strain and to make it look better in general.
|
|
|
|
## Why isn't edge-to-edge enabled on versions below Oreo?
|
|
|
|
The APIs for changing system bar colors were only added in API Level 27 (Oreo MR1), meaning that edge-to-edge will not work below that version.
|
|
|
|
I could possibly extend edge-to-edge support to earlier versions, but it would take awhile.
|
|
|
|
## Why doesn't edge-to-edge work when my phone is in landscape?
|
|
|
|
When a *phone* [Not a tablet] is in landscape, the insets meant to make the UI fit don't work properly, therefore the feature is mostly disabled.
|
|
|
|
## Does this app keep/send any information about myself or my device?
|
|
|
|
Auxio does not log any information about the device or its owner, and it has no internet access to send that information off in the first place.
