One UI 8.5 support for our projects

Samsung has begun rolling out the One UI 8.5 update to Korea early this month and widened the rollout to many countries and models, starting from the Galaxy S25. This is a big moment for those who are owning the Galaxy S25 smartphone, but others will have to wait until it’s their turn.

We are currently planning the One UI 8.5 support for our projects, and our evaluations have concluded that One UI 8.5 is still suffering from the library dependency loading problem that One UI 6.1 broke when it comes to starting up PulseAudio with the below command:

Nitrocid, Terminaux, BassBoom, and all other projects will be tested under this environment over the course of our official support duration. However, in One UI 8.5, PulseAudio needs to be loaded like this:

As of today, we are excited to announce that One UI 8.5 is now fully supported for our projects starting May 28th! We are very thrilled to provide official support for those who are using our projects in One UI 8.5. We can now guarantee that our projects work under this version of One UI that was first unveiled to the Galaxy S26, the A37, and the A57 devices before the official rollout started.

We are now officially supporting One UI 8.5 in our projects!

Chocolatey package modifications for Nitrocid and BassBoom

The Chocolatey package method was first introduced in Nitrocid while we were trying to find ways to get users to be able to more easily try it out without having to manually unpack the ZIP file. Our efforts led to creating more installation methods for our apps, with the latest effort being the introduction of the WinGet installation method for Nitrocid and BassBoom.

However, we needed to maintain consistency when dealing with both Chocolatey and WinGet package methods to install our apps. The WinGet package method for our apps used the WiX installer, which was introduced with Nitrocid v0.1.2 last year.

Now, we are very excited to announce that we have changed the Chocolatey packages to use the new installation method instead of the older ZIP file method. Using WiX as the installer, you can now easily launch Nitrocid and BassBoom once you install it from Chocolatey packaging. Currently, it’s presented as a test drive to make sure that things run smoothly.

EXCLUSIVE: Introducing the visualizer to an upcoming BassBoom version

BassBoom v1.0 was released early this month to provide you with the refactored Basolia library, while improving the music player textual user interface application. It allows you to play MPEG music files and streams, as well as MPEG radio stations, with the help of the libmpg123 native library, in your C# applications.

However, there will be a set of exciting features that will come to the player in an upcoming version of BassBoom under the v1.0 version umbrella. This upcoming version, v1.0.1, will add a feature to the Basolia library for applications to be able to finally visualize the music being played in different ways, and you can see one of the styles here:

The visualizer provides you with different ways to give you a visual representation of the music being played within BassBoom, including a 32-band spectrum analysis visualizer that shows you bass, mid, and treble levels that adjust as the music goes on. This visualizer not only supports music files, but also radio stations. Moreover, you’ll have a wide variety of visualizers that you can navigate through using the left and the right arrow keys.

As we are working on this feature, we are trying our best to provide you with new versions of BassBoom to incorporate new features, as well as bug fixes and other improvements. The upcoming version of BassBoom promises that the Basolia API will not contain breaking changes.

We will release this upcoming version of BassBoom at the end of June 2026. Stay tuned in Aptivi Blog and Aptivi Newsroom for further updates!

We will extend the availability of BassBoom v1.0 Launchpad PPA to more Ubuntu versions and to ARM64 systems soon. Stay tuned!

A public apology regarding BassBoom v1.0 Launchpad PPA

When BassBoom v1.0 was released, we had expected that this version of the music player would be available to all package managers in various platforms, such as WinGet for Windows, Launchpad PPA for Ubuntu, and other packaging methods for different systems.

However, a technical issue caused us to be unable to push the Ubuntu packages for this version of BassBoom, which made it unavailable for those who rely on our Ubuntu PPA to install BassBoom to their Ubuntu systems.

We sincerely apologize for the unavailability of the Launchpad PPA packages for BassBoom v1.0, but it was out of our control and we couldn’t solve it ourselves.

Today, we have made the BassBoom v1.0 package available in our Launchpad PPA, which you can check out here.

Additionally, we have finalized the support periods for future BassBoom versions, which you can find here.

BassBoom v1.0 Launchpad PPA packages will be available soon!

We apologize for your inconvenience.

BassBoom support schedule has changed starting from v1.0

Yesterday, we have released BassBoom v1.0 that revolutionizes the way application developers play music from a cross-platform C# application. As an effort to improve the structure of our project’s library, BassBoom.Basolia, we have managed to come up with a more stable library and music player.

Earlier, we have introduced Threadify, which took a part of Nitrocid’s codebase when it comes to thread management that was first introduced to the v0.0.20 series on 2022. The thread manager has since become more stable to the point that we were so excited to separate this portion to Threadify.

As BassBoom v1.0 became available, the support timeline for BassBoom and its Basolia library has changed to reflect the current state of the projects, and we will fulfill the timeline, depending on the version that we are planning to support. For the first time in BassBoom, we are introducing long-term releases and short-term releases!

• Long-term releases have 5 years of continuous support, and are implemented in versions v1.0, v1.2, and so on.
• Short-term releases have a single year of continuous support, and are implemented in versions v1.1, v1.3, and so on.

BassBoom v1.0 is supported for five years as an appreciation reward for your valuable patience! This version of BassBoom is supported until May 1st, 2031.
