Why Inniclassic for your Innioasis Y1 and Y2

Model availability

Which Innioasis models run it?

One maintained project publishes builds for both models, with a separate package for each — grab the one made for your player in Software Downloads and never swap one for the other.

Why people pick it

The Classic, back in your hand.

• 1:1 iPod Classic look — Plain-text menus, system-matched bold type, and the screen-name status bar — light and dark theme variants included.
• Cover browsing — Two-pane menus with a slowly panning album cover that bleeds to the top of the screen, like the real thing.
• A real Music Quiz — A from-scratch recreation using your own library: 5 rounds of 8 questions with round and victory screens.
• Synced lyrics — Time-synced scrolling lyrics from .lrc files or embedded tags, toggled straight from Now Playing.
• Plays everything you own — MP3, FLAC, WAV, OGG Vorbis, Opus, ALAC/M4A, and AAC — a modern codec set under a retro face.
• Radio, podcasts, video, audiobooks — FM radio via the hardware tuner, podcast subscriptions, full-screen video, and bookmarked audiobooks.

What the community says

Inniclassic is built on JJ Launcher's media engine, so it starts from a mature base. Each release adds refinements that make it feel like the real thing.

Because it is built directly on JJ Launcher’s media engine, Inniclassic inherits a mature base while layering on the Classic details. The project’s releases document a long list of refinements aimed at one goal: making it feel like the real thing, only with FLAC.

Things to know first

• Available on both models — Y1 takes rom.zip (Type A) or rom_type_b.zip (Type B), and Y2 takes rom_y2.zip; all three come from the same project
• Method 1 ships Y1 Software 3.1.2 with Inniclassic baked in; Method 2 installs an APK over an existing JJ Launcher setup (uninstall first)
• Gapless playback activates for playlists of 15 tracks or fewer with shuffle off and no FLAC in the queue
• Keep video files modest (640×480, 30fps, ~2 Mbps or less) for smooth playback
• Still a community project — restore Original Software if anything misbehaves
