From what I've seen, the Developer had updated the app that made it difficult for an XPosed module to do this which resulted in the application itself requiring the modification to be directly performed.

Though i could be wrong...

This Xposed module solved my problem.

http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.redlee90.hideusbdebugging

Xposed module that is used to hide usb debugging status. Useful for apps such as TWC TV which refuses to run when usb debugging is on
[Android Apps and Games] fcortes626:
Well the original posts last update just states that the twc app no longer checks for root but that the module would just disable usb debug check and patch vpn detection.
[Android Apps and Games] fcortes626:
So using a vpn will make all the channels work even if I am on 4g or a wifi connection that is not from time warner such as verizon ro atnt?

Thanks mrdude. I tried to change this myself (don't like the Location.smali change) apktool decompiled fine but wont recompile (even on unchanged files) it keeps throwing errors, is there some other tool to use.

The links you provided is not working for me...

They both resulted in an "unable to connect" with the server from the browser.

My Internet connection is fine and I tried both of the links in 2 browsers.

EDIT: There was a Viglink error from the Tapatalk redirect. I ended up figuring out the direct link. THANKS A BUNCH!

[Android Apps and Games] mrdude2478:
Apktool throws up errors due to the manifest file - it doesn't like this part:

android:resizeableActivity="false"

If you delete that, you'll be able to build ok, otherwise try and rebuild and you can then just grab classes.dex from the build folder - and use 7zip or whatever to replace the one in the apk - then resign the apk (delete META-INF folder first).
[Android Apps and Games] beemgee:

Does your APK allow the app to be used with a proxy? I set a Wi-Fi proxy address, but TWCTV actually seems to be ignoring as the proxy isn't showing any TWCTV video activity.
[Android Apps and Games] beemgee:
It should, I use it with a proxy over wifi away from home all the time.
[Android Apps and Games] besweeet:
I'm still using the un-modified version of the app. I figured it would show me a proxy error but it just seems to be ignoring it. Using Fiddler, I can see activity for everything from the phone except for TWCTV.

Yes the native app will not use a proxy (nor allow hdmi for that matter) but the modified does.

Is that just another way of stating that they don't know/have no idea?

It's a way of "bumping" the post to the top of the most recently commented upon threads when you start at the top of the listing. Increases the chances of someone seeing the post vs. it going to the bottom of the unanswered pile etc.

Uninstall your current TWC app you have installed, then it should install fine.
[Android Apps and Games] ytj87:
I'm still using the 4.9 version successfully. If history is any guide, at some point this version will be blocked from live TV use.

Also, I upgraded my clients and server to OpenVPN 2.4. For some reason, if I enable either the new cipher negotiation or LZ4 compression, the app will not work. Have to stick to cipher negotiation disabled and LZO Adaptive compression. I use BF-CBC as my cipher.
[Android Apps and Games] mrdude2478:
Updated to version: 5.0.1.35048

This app is actually called Spectrum now - you should clear your app cache if you have a previous version installed or it will probably not work properly.

Also there is no need to patch 'every' version as the forced updated has been patched - and has been for quite a few versions already, and most versions don't offer much new anyway that you would notice.

[Android Apps and Games] beemgee:
The new version crashes for me on kitkat. Noticed the manifest.xml is missing the android:resizeableActivity="false", could that be why it doesn't work, anyone else having a problem or just me.
[Android Apps and Games] besweeet:
Just to confirm, you still can't watch all channels away from home without using a proxy or VPN, right?
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
That looks like it may be by design from the TWC/Spectrum Developers. But, I'm not completely sure of this.

I had a discussion about that part of manifest.xml earlier in the thread with MrDude, basically apktool requires it be removed to build, but previously it was restored when MrDude released the patch.
[Android Apps and Games] beemgee:
Got it to work by adding the line to manifest.xml. However the patch at least in respect to HDMI cable use does not seem to work. Is this new version working for anyone?
[Android Apps and Games] mrdude2478:
hdmi works fine for me, did you uninstall your old twc version first - clear data/cache (not doing that can cause issues).

I'm using nvidia shield (android 7), with hdmi/developer options enabled/wired connection and don't have any issues.
[Android Apps and Games] beemgee:
Apparently only I have a problem, that sucks, but version 4.9 still works fine so...
[Android Apps and Games] wind10user:

[Android Apps and Games] mrdude2478:
For people with problems, try downloading an original untouched version and see if that works, it could be that this newer version doesn't support your version of android. Also this newer version doesn't have any extra features so you're not missing out, older versions are patched to work without being forced to update.
[Android Apps and Games] ytj87:
I'm not able to get the new version working on a phone. Stock rooted Samsung MM firmware. Cleared cache/data, then uninstalled old. Even went out to recovery and cleared all cache and Dalvik, still no go. Just FCs on startup. Older version reinstalls and works fine.

Edit: original untouched version works fine
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
Just an FYI...

With this app crashing for me too, i had took a look at a Logcat file and was perplexed with it looking like it was happening by design...

So i looked a little further. Now since, this is a newer app, i had looked in a couple of places (including the Play Store) and found that since, the Spectrum app has had only 1 releases, both releases of the app has been crashing for a majority of individuals. Most of them has never had an issue with the TWC app.

So this issue is in NO WAY the OP Dev's fault but, only by design.

You'll have to just be patient and as each app is released, and the OP Dev releases a newer version, just keep your fingers crossed that TWC-Spectrum had fixed the original issue.

EDIT: A second release "Spectrum TV v5.1.0.37294" was just released on 21 Feb 2017. Maybe (Hopefully) this issue was resolved.

Peace and Love!

Thanks for the heads up, here's that newer release patched, also you will need to Definitely clear the previous app version cache/data (uninstall) before using this version or you will get errors with graphics/features not working.

[Android Apps and Games] graffixnyc:
Just wondering, can you share what needs to be changed just for the HDMI check? I'm trying to figure out what smali files to change so I can do it myself when a new version is released. I'm assuming something in HdmiConnectionMonitor.smali needs to change, as well as livetv/c.smali and vod/player/VodPlayerActivity$11.smali but I'm not sure what I need to change. I've tried experimenting swapping CONNECTED and DISCONNECTED but that didnt seem to work. Also are there any other files that need to be changed besides those 3?

Thanks in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] Teej34:
Having difficulty with app not allowing me to screen mirror to t.v. used to be able to do with the old twc app but not with this one the app stops playing video and tells you that scte3n mirroring has to be turned off can this check be disabled too. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] beemgee:
I have the same problem where hdmi is blocked on the Spectrum 5.0 app but the TWC 4.9 app works fine. I compared the smali patches between the 2 versions and they are the same so Spectrum has changed something that caused the patches to fail on some android versions (in my case a rooted stock kitkat tablet).

Fortunately the changes to the new version are minor and the 4.9 version still works fine.
[Android Apps and Games] Apo11on:
Latest 5.1.1 version linked few posts back doesnt work on 4G, tried disabling USB debugging, with and without VPN to home network, etc. It sees the phone is using 4G and not WiFi - it refuses to work. Would be really nice if connection type detection could be either bypassed, or spoofed, to make it think you're always on WiFi
[Android Apps and Games] mrdude2478:
Try this: TWCableTV_5.2.0.40729.ap

https://mega.nz/#!4gRnlAJD!YhbjarsG32xHXoMxC0DLOmuDm1YPSpNKY9AF8h_YWIE

I never patched it to use an ethernet cable so it might work for you with your 4G/Wifi, also i removed some other patches, but it should be fine for most people.
[Android Apps and Games] 1lolo94:
Would this work for the issue i am having with the app not fitting the whole screen? Sorry - still new at this :)

Thanks for all your hard work.
[Android Apps and Games] mrdude2478:
This app is not meant for TV, it's supposed to be for phones and tablets, it's not displaying on your screen properly because it was never meant to. Without the source code or the app being made for android TV, you'll always have these issues. HDMI checks were probably put in the original apk to stop people that had tablets with hdmi connections from viewing this on a TV screen. For example if you have an nvidia shield tablet, you could connect that to a TV to watch something, but TWC don't want you to do this - hence the hdmi checks.
[Android Apps and Games] Apo11on:
Really appreciate you taking the time to change, rebuild and upload another version. Tried it with being connected to home VPN on and off, using 4G connection (the only one available where I need to use the app at). Here is the result. When it says "some channels are available" it means like 20% crap channels nobody watches out of the entire channel lineup. It is essentially the same as app not working at all.
[Android Apps and Games] Apo11on:
App works

[MENTION=2918756]mrdude2478[/MENTION] Turns out it was an issue with my VPN server, which wasnt properly configured, as another user spotted and pointed out to me. After few hours of tinkering I finally got the VPN to work the right way, and now your app mod works flawlessly. Thanks a bunch for your hard work :laugh::good::good::good:

---------- Post added at 11:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 PM ----------

I actually went a step further, installed android emulator and then your app mod on HDMI PC stick I carry with me, and now I dont need my slingbox - can watch full TV lineup anywhere on the go, with no extra hardware at home, and picture quality via the app is much better than slingbox streaming too.
[Android Apps and Games] Merazomo:
This is truly amazing. I have a Barnes & Noble Nook HD+, and now I'm able to watch tv in my room through HDMI without ordering another one of those expensive set-top boxes. I hope these updates never stop, as only the latest Spectrum App works with my tablet. I used to be able to use older versions of the App; not anymore. It has to be the latest one. Thanks a lot for your hard work.
[Android Apps and Games] Teej34:
Was just wondering if anyone has seen anything that could be disabled to allow screen mirroring ever since update screen mirroring gives a warning that it not supported and video stops other than that app works flawlessly any help with this would be greatly appreciated and I would like to make a donation to the one that figures this out
[Android Apps and Games] saulin78:
I would take a look at the HDMI check but I have an Nvidia Shield on Android 7 and it just crashes the app and I'm not able to go back to Marshmallow. But maybe someone else can defeat this check because as it's this app is useless on Android TV

I have an unrooted ZTE Spro 2 projector running android 4.4 . I have Spectrum cable and tried using your latest patched apk v. 5.2.4079. Normally, when I try to project live TV, I get an HDMI out restriction error message. With your app, I now get a screen cast error. Is there a fix or workaround for this?
[Android Apps and Games] mrdude2478:
Use the original apk from Google play store - if that doesn't work, contact the original app developers and explain your fault to them and ask them why you get those errors, without the original source code it's impossible to tell.
[Android Apps and Games] JTOLOGY:
* here you will find the most recent TWC TV App from the android market... except it has ALL restrictions removed, NO ADB checks, NO proxy checks, NO HDMI checks, NO ROOT checks,"... I was previously getting an HDMI out error with the unpatched Spectrum APk when projecting live TV from my unrooted ZTE Spro 2 mobile projector (running Android 4.4). Now, I'm getting a screencast error when trying to project live TV from your latest patched Spectrum TV APK, any idea why I get this error or how to resolve this? It seems your patch is resolving the HDMI out restriction but not the screencast restriction.

---------- Post added at 11:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 AM ----------

Thank you, I appreciate your help. I was actually trying to direct the question to Dice, who did the mods on the APK and started this thread, because he stated that all restrictions were removed on his apk and seeing that as I no longer get an HDMI out error with his modded apk, perhaps he could shed light on how to fix the screencast restriction error I'm getting. It seems to be a relatively common question in this thread. Either way. I've reposted my question directly to him to see what he says, but thanks again for trying to help.
[Android Apps and Games] saulin78:
mrdude2478 which software version you have on your Shield? I have 5.1 and it crashes the app.

Also you don't get any HDMI/Screen Mirroring errors on your Shield Android TV?

Dice any chance to remove the HDMI/Screen Mirroring checks on the latest version of the app?
[Android Apps and Games] mrdude2478:
I've got the latest version of firmware available (SHIELD EXPERIENCE UPGRADE 5.1 - released on 17/2/17). If this apk is crashing for you, uninstall - clear your app cache and reinstall.
[Android Apps and Games] looney2388:
It works on my Amazon Fire TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for this!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D
[Android Apps and Games] saulin78:
Are you rooted?

I have reinstalled image 5.02 and then installed the 5.1 OTA on my shield. I have done a reset which wipes everything. I have reinstalled your 5.2.40729 version and after I put my credentials and starts loading it crashes the app.

All I get is "Spectrum TV has stopped"

And a button that says open app again

I'm on Ethernet only. You did patch this version to work on Ethernet right?

**Edit**

Holly crap. I just tried it on Wifi only and it works. I need to patch your APK to wirk with Ethernet, not just Wifi
[Android Apps and Games] joejoe402012:

[Android Apps and Games] mrdude2478:
Dude, if you take the time to read back a few pages you'll see that this has already been answered numerous times - you need to use a VPN from your own house (your own VPN), to get these too work. And also read the posts from the last 2 pages, I posted 2 different versions of this apk. 1 version has ethernet patched and thinks you're behind your own modem, the other does not (and only works on wifi).

I wish people would take time to read a few pages - that way you won't need to mess about as much and the same questions don't need to be answered over and over again.
[Android Apps and Games] looney2388:
I set this up at my parents in law house with their log in, hence why I skipped the VPN part. I was only focus on getting the apk. Now I tried it at my house and it's saying some channels unavailable. I now see the VPN thing. From what I understand, I need to set up the VPN on their Internet. If so then I can't get the full channels. I am currently running tw cable app 5.1 that you uploaded over WiFi. I'll try it over ethernet later when I get home. Anyways excuse me and my ignorance for not reading but thanks for the apks and the work you put in.

[Android Apps and Games] saulin78:
What is the latest version currently? What this means is that the force upgrade is not being patched properly. I'll look into it. I patched 5.2.40729 and tested it 2 days ago and it was still good.
[Android Apps and Games] XxMP25xX:
My apologies. Had old version installed.
[Android Apps and Games] saulin78:
Still though if the previous version was patched properly to block the updates then it should not be asking for an update just because there is a newer version available now.
[Android Apps and Games] mrdude2478:
If you're using this version - read the description I posted with it - "also i removed some other patches", previous versions are patched with the forced update check. You should either use one of those previous versions or learn to patch this apk yourself so you can get all the features YOU require.
