Partial While the UI is minimal, overriding touch inputs on modern Android while allowing background playback requires specific native Android window overlay permissions and touch event interception.
What it would actually take: Built using Kotlin with Android's `SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW` permission to create a transparent overlay window using `WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCHABLE` or intercepting all `MotionEvent` dispatchers. The hard part is managing system gesture navigation, pinning apps, and handling OS security restrictions across diverse Android vendor skins (MIUI, OneUI) without getting killed in the background.
