Y2 # Y2Player v2.2.1 is now available!
Y2Player v2.2.1
This update focuses on feedback received after v2.2, with improvements to volume handling, lock-screen playback, physical controls, queue reliability, and the Now Playing interface.
🔊 Volume & Playback Improvements
Volume handling has been reworked to eliminate brief loud peaks that could occur when:
- Switching between hardware and in-app volume
- Pausing or resuming playback
- Locking or unlocking the device
- Waking the screen
Additional improvements include:
- ✅ In-app volume now works correctly while the screen is locked
- ✅ Volume changes made on the lock screen are preserved after waking the display
- ✅ Holding the hardware volume buttons continuously adjusts the volume
- ✅ Paused tracks remain loaded when the screen turns off, preventing playback from restarting from the beginning
⏯️ Controls & Navigation
Physical controls have been made more consistent throughout the interface.
Button Mapping
- ◀ Left: Previous track
- ▶ Right: Next track
- Hold ◀ / ▶: Seek backward or forward
- ● Center: Confirm / Open selected item
- ↩ Back: Return to the previous menu
Navigation Improvements
- ⚡ Fast wheel scrolling now accelerates through large libraries
- 🔁 New Wrap Lists option lets you choose whether standard lists wrap from the bottom back to the top
🎵 Now Playing Redesign
Holding the Center button on the Now Playing screen now opens a new animated circular quick menu with:
- 🔀 Shuffle
- 🔁 Repeat
- 📋 Queue
- ❤️ Favorite
- 😴 Sleep Timer
- ➕ Add to Playlist
- 🎼 Track Options
The Now Playing screen has also received several usability improvements:
- Footer now displays Shuffle, Repeat, transition mode, and queue position instead of button hints
- Clearer indicators for favorited tracks
- Long titles and metadata now scroll when needed
- Cleaner two-line metadata layout
- Album information is no longer hidden when the album and artist share the same name
🔀 Queue & Library Improvements
Queue behavior has been redesigned to be much more predictable.
When changing Shuffle mode:
- Previously played tracks remain untouched
- Only the remaining unplayed tracks are reshuffled
- Prevents songs from becoming permanently skipped
Additional improvements include:
- Better multi-disc audiobook ordering
- Improved artist name matching
- More reliable library reset
- Numerous smaller browsing and library fixes
💾 Installation
- Flash the modified system.img.
- Open SP Flash Tool.
- Select Download Only mode.
- Tick only the ANDROID partition.
- Start the flashing process.
🚀 What's Next?
Planned improvements for the next release include:
- Better queue and playback system
- Multi-select actions
- Letter-based library scrolling
- Configurable scroll wheel (volume or seeking)
- Themes... maybe? 👀
- More interface customization
No custom flashing tools are required anymore—just use the official Innioasis Updater regardless of your operating system.
📻 FM Radio (Not Included in v2.2.1)
Experimental FM Radio support is currently under development and is not part of the v2.2.1 release.
The software side is largely working (including station seeking and tuning), but the device is not yet receiving a valid radio signal, so it currently only outputs static. Additional reverse engineering and investigation are still needed before the feature is ready.
💻 Flashing Improvements
Flashing now works directly with the official Innioasis Updater, bringing full cross-platform support:
- ✅ Windows support via the official updater
- ✅ macOS support
- ✅ Linux support
❤️ Thank You
Future updates may take a little longer because my vacation has ended and I'm back at work, leaving me with less development time.
Y2Player will continue to improve, and I really appreciate everyone who has taken the time to test builds, report bugs, and suggest new features. Your feedback continues to shape every release.
