• Notification Target can now show custom content where available and where it is supported. This allows apps that provide "Live Activity" content using custom notifications to be displayed in the Smartspace.
• Material You style widget option (horizontal only, Android 12+), thanks @0xf104a
• The theme is now correctly applied to the header in Expanded Smartspace
• Fixed album art not being handled correctly for some apps, thanks @nift4
• Fixed flashlight on Android 16
• Crash fixes

• Improvements to the At a Glance (Smartspace) Target & Complication, changing how the original service is bound. This was required to support Android 16, but is also backported since the method is better and should lead to fewer feedback loops.
• Fixed Targets & Complications that use widgets with lists not working on Android 16.
• The Widget Target now sends a smaller width to the widget, which may fix some layout issues.
• Fixed the Custom Content compatibility check not working on the Pixel Launcher
• Fixed Widget Targets on Expanded Smartspace absorbing a complication but not showing it

• Fixed crash on some versions of Android 14 using Native Smartspace
• Fixed some sizing issues with widgets in Smartspace, and added a new option to use an alternative sizing system which improves some but breaks others. If you are using KWGT or similar, this should be disabled for those widgets.

1.9 changes:

• Experimental RemoteViews support. This allows any Target to make a custom layout, much like how widgets work. Google quietly added support for this to Native Smartspace in Android 15 QPR2 and Android 16 DP1, Smartspacer now supports it on Native Smartspace on those versions, and everywhere else (except OEM Smartspace) on all versions (third party apps using the Smartspacer SDK may need updating)
• New Widget Target, using RemoteViews support, allowing you to put 4x1 widgets in Smartspace. There are a number of limitations for this, see the app for more info.
• New Clock Target, which is the same as the Clock Complication but as a Target.
• Added option to hide add button on Expanded Smartspace when locked.
• Fixed vertical widget on Android 16.
• Support for adding widgets from work profile (requires widget's app to be installed on the main profile too due to system limitations).
• Fixed an issue where Battery Optimisation could not be disabled on some devices when Enhanced Mode is enabled.

• Fixed crash on Android 15 QPR2
• Minor bug fixes

Fixed an issue where the date would sometimes appear in Expanded Smartspace when it had not been added

• The Date & filler date Targets are now fully handled by Smartspacer. This is required to fix an issue in Android 15 QPR1 where it is no longer possible to allow the Launcher or Lock Screen to handle the date while showing two complications below it. This also means that when the open behaviour for Expanded Smartspace is set to "always", tapping the date will now open Expanded Smartspace, where it was previously not possible.
• Fixed an issue where tapping the weather on devices using the At a Glance Complication with Pixel Weather installed would not open the weather, it now opens in Pixel Weather
• Tapping the weather when using the Google Weather Complication and will now open Pixel Weather when it is installed
• All built in Targets & Complications that can support being added more than once are now able to be. This is useful if you want to add different requirements for specific screens (eg. lock screen).
• Added an in-app option to change the app language (this is synced with the system setting on Android 13+)
• Added a link to the Crowdin page in the about card
• Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue where Expanded Smartspace may show stale Targets & Complications.
• By popular request, added option to automatically enable Native Smartspace. Please read the strong warning on this setting if you are enabling it.
• Tapping the category header in the widget recommendations in Expanded Smartspace will now cycle through the pages, working around the inability to swipe horizontally when replacing Discover with Expanded Smartspace on Android 15 using the Pixel Launcher.
• Fixed buttons not being clickable in some cases when enabling Enhanced Mode from the settings.
• Updated unavailable state description for Google Weather Forecast Target to reflect the fact that it now requires a Pixel or Pixel-based ROM.

• Fixed Expanded Smartspace widgets not being clickable when replacing Discover on Android 14 and on third party launchers in Android 15
• Fixed padding of Expanded Smartspace widget picker
• Experimental fix for upstream issue causing Expanded Smartspace crashes, using a workaround Google has not merged since October 2021

• Target Android 15
• Support for Android 15 Pixel Launcher embedded Discover feed replacement
• Improved long press listener for scrollable widgets in Expanded Smartspace
• Group notification channels in Notification Target configuration by group, hide IDs when a description is not available
• Performance improvements
• Bug fixes
