[Xposed Framework Modules] Entropy512:
TWC pushed an update today.

This update changed the name of one of the methods this module hooks, so the module needed an update.

In theory, Xposed modules should keep working through an update, but if someone used ProGuard obfuscation, method names change often and as a result the module needs updating.

Re: [Xposed][1/30/2013] Allow TWC TV to work on rooted devices and with USB debugging

Would it be possible to add a block for checking of vpn?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Entropy512:
It checks for VPN? I'll take a look at that at some point.

The problem is, it's difficult to try blocking checks without a way to test the block, due to ProGuard obfuscation of the APK - You need to do a lot of reading to figure out exactly what the hell it's trying to do.

Although if there's a smali-hacked APK somewhere that does this, I can try and use androdiff to figure out what was patched.

Next on my list is HDMI.

Re: [Xposed][1/30/2013] Allow TWC TV to work on rooted devices and with USB debugging

Take a look at this thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1604411&page=9. They are trying to get hdmi and vpn to. Said they may know the smali code checking for vpn. Maybe you contact that dev and work together and get them both working. If I can help any way let me know. I don't hardy know any programming but I can poke around a little.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Entropy512:
There's a good chance the network locks are done server-side... e.g. "don't allow it to work unless the connection comes from a Time Warner IP address".
[Xposed Framework Modules] orateam:
I actually have this patched. I'd rather not share the exact methods though since i'd like to enjoy it for as long as possible without a TWC attack. Nice watching this on any hdtv anywhere i go.

It's actually rather easy if you're willing to learn smali. Jesusfreak helped me with that. My advice, 'look again'. They've doubled the checks elsewhere. don't trust windows search, use a grep tool.

I just wanted to confirm that it does it work on the latest release and not to give up if your currently working towards it.

-Orateam.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Entropy512:
In short, Time Warner is teh stoopid. I have been very busy lately so haven't put any effort into this for a couple of weeks, but if they're not doing server-side checking, they're dumb. Do you have to at least VPN back to a RoadRunner network, or can you do 100% remote access?

BTW, check out Androguard. It's a very nice decompiler.
[Xposed Framework Modules] orateam:
They are server side checking. Even when i hard-coded thier modem's MAC address into the apk and returned all results checking for wifi status and mac to true it still failed. When i tunneled through, it worked. I believe they use IP hops and know the routes you hit when on thier own network. Same thing they do when you use newsgroups.

I think it's stupid too. No real point. If i go away for a weekend, i can't use the cable i paid for. They should allow me to turn it off for the weekend so i don't get billed when i'm not using it then. They can easily limit abuse by restricting it to just one IP access at a time. Eventually they will get with the picture.
[Xposed Framework Modules] PSCGOhio:
Cannot present XXXX

I'm hittin a ton of 'we're sorry we can't present XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX right now' messages. Followed the install instructions to a T, whereas it wouldn't fire before with the restriction methods this time it fired right up and even changes channels on my cable box. But when I try to view Live TV, I see all the listings of what's available but nothing wants to fire. This includes all channels like HD's, SD's and even Music Choice. Checked all my settings, my thruput, etc. and no reason why it's doing that unless I missed something?

Running ICS, rooted from the factory.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Entropy512:
OK, so they're running checks to make sure you're not VPNed, and they also do server-side checks to make sure traffic originates from a RoadRunner IP address.

I'll look into nuking the VPN checks. :)

I'll retest tonight... I admit, this is more of a proof of concept exercise than something I use regularly, since it's live TV only. Sounds like it's just Time Warner derping.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Technix2002:
Time Warner Cable realease the May 14th update that allows about 14 channels to be live without being on your own network, but it once again gives a warning about having USB debugging enabled and being rooted... then does not work. This is with having the Xposed patch installed because the previous version did work for me with no issues. Just FYI
[Xposed Framework Modules] Technix2002:
Disable USB Debugging, deselect/reselect Xposed TWC TV Patcher, reboot!

Update!!! Disable USB Debugging temporarily, open Xposed Installer, deselect "Xposed TWC TV Patcher [1.0.1]", reselect "Xposed TWC TV Patcher [1.0.1]", reboot and enjoy watching BBC America HD while on 3G/4G (Verizon) with Root!! :victory:
[Xposed Framework Modules] Entropy512:
Hmm, so the usb check disable is no longer working but the root check is still disabled?

Interesting, usually a method mismatch causes a total failure of the xposed module. The module might be patching some method that is different from what it was patching before. I'll take a look later this week and update the module.
[Xposed Framework Modules] ErisDroid?:
This is awesome. It worked great on my Bionic, even after the upgrade to the TWC app. Thank you
[Xposed Framework Modules] General_Mayhem:
Any luck with the module update? The app updated again today.. It sucks that they won't allow rooted devices in on the fun.

EDIT: Disregard. I just installed all of this on my phone and it worked. The thing I did differently was I had the TWC app already on my tablet when I installed your program. With my phone, I installed TWC's app last.

I'll remove and reinstall the TWC app from my tablet and expect it'll work.

Thanks for creating this program. :D
[Xposed Framework Modules] Entropy512:
Sorry, been a bit burned out lately, haven't really done anything in a week or two.

Maybe later this week.
[Xposed Framework Modules] jco1964:
Have an HP Touchpad running CM9. Prior to the TWC app update was able to use the method of changing the "build.prop" and renaming Superuser to get the app to work. After the update it wouldn't work cause it detected a rooted device. Tried the method in this thread and now I get the Guide and am able to watch on demand shows. However, I get an error message saying that Android 2.2 or higher is required for live TV even though the system info shows it as Android 4.0.4. I am on my home wifi network. Any thoughts?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Entropy512:
That's a strange one... Another thing to take a look at when I get time.

I've been incredibly busy lately so haven't had the time to try and get the module updated to handle TWC's update.
[Xposed Framework Modules] easye420:
I had the same issue after the update as you did. I'm running 4.2.2 and I got that message. I just uninstalled it and installed the backup I had of the previous version and everything works fine again. If u want the apk let me know.
[Xposed Framework Modules] jco1964:
That would be great.

Thanks for the .apk, but it won't install. I get a "There is a problem parsing the package" error. Is there something else I need to do to the file? Sorry, but I am fairly new to this. Thanks Again
[Xposed Framework Modules] Krazie:
The size of apk is 0 bytes. Please reup. Thanks.
[Xposed Framework Modules] tongueman87:
Now if only to get passed the need to have to have wifi to use or view tv or on demand. Possible at all?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Entropy512:
Might be possible... I've been way too busy with other stuff lately to even get this working with the new update... Partly due to the fact that I forgot my TWC userid/password. :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] easye420:
let's try again. I'm uploading my from my tablet so that could be why.
[Xposed Framework Modules] tongueman87:
If I even have alue of the whole coding I would give it a shot personally but never had a clue I can do basic stuff but you know what I mean. I don't know what to look for. I would love you for life if you could get it to forget having to be on wifi. No homo lol
[Xposed Framework Modules] PSCGOhio:
TWC = PIA

Delete old TWCTV - OK

Download APK - OK

Install APK - OK

Boot TWCTV - demands "upgrade to latest version"

Start Google Play automatically, suck down TWCTV from Play - OK

Boot TWCTV - goes through entire login just fine, approve all the fine print.

THEN... "requires Android 2.2 or higher" again.

Did I do something out of order? :eek:

---------- Post added at 11:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 PM ----------

Tried it again with the module flip-trick mentioned in an even earlier post.

No matter how I slice it or dice it - App fires but says no Live TV without 2.2 or higher. I hate TWC sometimes.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Martinhdk:
Can you make the same with hbo Nordic to avoid it from root check?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Entropy512:
No, since I have no way to test it.

At some point I plan on posting a guide on how to use baksmali and the Androguard plugin for Sublime Text to decompile an APK to find the root check methods. Once you've found the methods, it's fairly easy to see the source to my app here and modify it to target different classes/methods. :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] Martinhdk:
Ok, thx man :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] Technix2002:
Looks like the TWC TV was updated again as of today (July 10th 2013), the Xposed method still works for ROOT (you still have to disable USB debugging), just untick the patch and re-tick, but this new app now says that my CM10.1 (JB 4.2.2) isn't Android 2.2 or higher? Crazy app! As a result of this the Live TV option is not there now.. :(
[Xposed Framework Modules] Entropy512:
I really need to get around to decompiling the new app... I've been pretty burned out lately.

The source for the mod is linked from the OP. Anyone is welcome to try decompiling the new app, figure out the new methods, and send a pull request with the fix. :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] naz4viper:
has anyone been able to resolve the issue where TWC TV saying 2.2 is required for live tv? :(
[Xposed Framework Modules] Entropy512:
I keep on forgetting to get around to this... The problem has been that I forgot my TWC password and I'm too lazy to reset it. ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] tongueman87:
Uninstall the exposed framework for the twc patcher then reboot and should be fine
[Xposed Framework Modules] crushalot:
Did you put together that guide to de-compiling apk's to look for root check method?

I would love to use this mod again as we are getting close to TV season.

Thanks
[Xposed Framework Modules] PSCGOhio:
Any developments at all?

I'm just wondering how far we got with this... I've got 2 projects now, a Zeki tab that demands this

be working in order to use TWC TV with the root check bit. I'm after that more for using the tab

with a stand when I go to crash to watch the end of a show, etc. thus I ask. I did notice they (TWC)

also left out TBS in the lineup totally?

The second is seeing if it'll fly on an OUYA, rooted or otherwise. It comes non-rooted but the App

doesn't always like to play nice, I'm attempting sideloads with various APKs but it's screaming for

any of them to be updated to THE latest version and I can't get that without this working it seems?

Unless someone knows of the last released APK somewhere non-modified I can test.

An update on either of these would be great! Thanks!
[Xposed Framework Modules] 12gage:
would this also work for DirecTV's app? It has a live viewing option that is blocked for Rooted Users
[Xposed Framework Modules] Entropy512:
This module itself - no. But a similar approach (find the method that is doing the root check and patch it) would.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Hyflex:
Wonder if someone can use this same approach to Sky Go (UK app): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1506967&page=59
[Xposed Framework Modules] Entropy512:
Updated. The TWC app no longer does root checks, however ADB checks are still there. Also attempted to patch VPN checks but this is untested.
[Xposed Framework Modules] b-reezy:
Is there any chance you could make this mod for the Brighthouse TV app?
[Xposed Framework Modules] CYBERxNUKE:
I got it working great on my Ouya. Had to remove HDMI check. and using this module for usb debugging.
[Xposed Framework Modules] PSCGOhio:
Eh, what? Did you modify the APK to get rid of that check or something? And what version did you use? The skimpy response has no link to the APK, the version you used, etc. so it's kinda hard for anyone else to replicate it. As far as 'using this module for usb debugging', I hunted around a bit to see if I was just stupid or something but the way you put that - I'm clueless what that means.

It managed to right itself on my Samsung Stellar rooted, but I'd LOVE to get it up on the OUYA without that update-rollover issue.
[Xposed Framework Modules] CYBERxNUKE:
Latest version 3.4.2#68

from playstore.

Sorry lack of sleep.

I modified the apk to remove hdmi checks for the Live TV portion of the app.

i used this xposed mod to bypass usb debug detection.

[Xposed Framework Modules] Entropy512:
I'll try and update the HDMI checks in the module later this week. (BTW, you could have made the changes to the module and submitted a pull request... Unless I screwed up and didn't link the source code to my module, I could've sworn I did...)
[Xposed Framework Modules] h8isgr8:
Any update on adding HDMI check removal to the module?

Thanks!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Entropy512:
No one has submitted a pull request... I've been incredibly busy with omni lately, it consumes nearly all of my spare time these days.
[Xposed Framework Modules] brandogg:
Adding my name to the request for the same features on the brighthouse app. I believe they are basically the same thing (though I've never used the TWC app). Or if you have any tips I could take a look myself. Never tried editing any APKs (as in not my own) but I have the Android SDKs set up in Eclipse and Android Studio.
[Xposed Framework Modules] LtDan1:
HDMI Checks?

Looks like HDMI checks still enabled? Since TWC 12/9 update haven't been able to use TWC TV on a my android box hooked into my TV? Sounds like someone had it dev'd but wasn't able to figure out how to post/compile?
[Xposed Framework Modules] WeededSquash:
I am also looking for the a way to output through HDMI on this app, but haven't had any luck.

It appears that there are posts on other sites regarding setting the HDMI node state (/sys/devices/virtual/switch/hdmi/state) to 0 instead of 1, which I am guessing basically says HDMI isn't connected, but on my KFHD, it automatically resets to 1 as soon as I save it.

http://minixforums.com/threads/unblock-hdmi-output-for-most-apps.1628/

I would love to submit the pull request for this, but I honestly have no idea how GitHub works and I only have a basic knowledge of programming for Android. If someone could give me some help (i.e. tell me where to look for the checks, etc.), I am more than willing to take up the challenge, but it would probably take me quite some time. Anyone willing?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Zermelo:
For those looking for a way around the hdmi check. There is an app which "virtually unplugs the hdmi". It's called HDMI virtual switch. I use it in combination with this plugin to use the TWC app on an Minix Neo X5 Android PC hooked up to a 46" TV.

Ideally it would be nice to have this functionality in a single app/plugin but I can confirm that in combination these apps will get the app working on such devices like the Ouya and X5/X7.

Edit: If anyone knows a way around the Wifi check, it would also help to be able to use the app on 3G.
[Xposed Framework Modules] WeededSquash:
Thanks for referring to that app and I actually like that it is a separate app because it has the capability to resolve the issue for several apps in one.

I found this thread a while back regarding using a proxy to enable live TV over 3G/4G:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2176334

[Xposed Framework Modules] ytj87:
This has worked perfectly for me in bypassing both the USB debugging and the VPN check. That's all I need it for when mobile, as I have a VPN router at home.

Excellent work, thanks.

edit 3/5/14:

As of March 5, the new TWC app v3.5.0.86 detects vpn on the phone/tablet

again regardless of this module. Vpn hiding was working with app #78.

As you'd expect, vpn running on a router still does allow out of home streaming with this version.

I reverted back to app #78 with no problems.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Entropy512:
they probably changed method names again... I'll try to get around to it in the next week or so.

As of late October 2014, older versions of this app are no longer able to access the TWC servers. So we're stuck with later versions that are not able to be spoofed (on the phone) at the current time.

Agreed, same issue here. I wish that TWC would just let this small* population of users to just use the VPN settings. Hopefully someone with more programming knowledge than me can spoof the novpn for TWC app.

[Xposed Framework Modules] mirbramo94:
There's another Xposed module called Hide-USB-Debugging-Mode that will do the same thing and it works. Since it can hide the debugging mode from ANY app, It also works on the new Spectrum TV app.

Just a quick tip: after enabling the module in the Xposed Framework app (by clicking the check box), you need to click on the module to open the module's settings. Then you need to check the check box of the app you want to hide your debugging mode status from.

This app is especially useful if you are using an amazon fire stick, where there is no usb debugging setting. When i tried to use the new Spectrum TV app, the popup about needing to disable usb debugging showed up. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out if i could disable usb debugging through adb, and also trying to sideload settings.apk from my android tablet but nothing worked. I was so happy when i found this module and since i haven't seen it mentioned in any threads, I figured I'd put it out there in case anyone else is struggling to find a solution.
[Xposed Framework Modules] jsdecker10:
Yep, I also have Spectrum (Charter) Cable TV and Internet service and everything was working great-working just fine-n-dandy with the Spectrum TV app up until just a few months ago when the app updated and wouldn't work with USB debugging enabled in developer options. I actually hadn't seen THIS TWC Xposed module until just now, but that other module you mentioned worked great for hiding usb debugging from the Spectrum TV app. *Knock on wood*... But so far everything has worked great thus far and hopefully it continues to do so with future updates. Hopefully Spectrum doesn't decide to add any checks for the Xposed framework or even root access for that matter lol, although I could always switch from SuperSU to Magisk and hide root, I suppose.

there is none, except that when u freeze an app from titanium its invisible to the os, as of course ics will still know its there if u freeze with that.

Hi everyone.

I had cm7 on my phone for a while, and I just noticed that LG have officially released ICS for it. I tried connecting my phone to the pc, without success. So, I flashed the CM10 nightly onto the phone, and now the pc detects it fine. However, the LG update program doesn't recognise that the phone is connected. Anyone else know how to fix this so I can update to the official ICS released by LG, or am I best sticking with CM10?
