I loved how older versions of Android (and afaik iOS as well) could set the album cover of the currently played song as the lockscreen background.
It's a tiny and maybe completely unnecessary feature, but i loved it.
Custom roms still offer this. Additionally you can even enable Pulse (audio visualiser) if you like.
What OS is this? / which phone?
crDroid 9.7 (Android 13) on Redmi Note 10 Pro, but you should be able to find a build for most devices. Other roms also have this feature. Feel free to ask if you need to know more.
Does this ROM come with G-Apps or is it a non-google bases ROM?
Ok, I had to come back and check. The specific version I'm using (official from here) is vanilla (without gapps), but if this is something that bothers you there are 2 other developers building crdroid for this device and at least one of them is offering a gapps version. If I remember correctly I'm using nikgapps core, but I'm not quite sure. If you want to see more roms you can find them here.
If you're asking about the experience, I can tell you that I haven't encountered any issues with Google services / notifications or really anything else (and this isn't just this rom, most custom roms work well and are more than good enough for daily use).
Thank you kind soul!
I think Spotify and YouTube music still do this, you may need to turn notifications on for the app (so that the lock screen player can appear)
The lockscreen player is visible but the background isn't changing anymore
