Man I wish you had optimum TV hah. Seems no one can do anything with that app restricting hdmi out, and mirroring. But anyways thanks to you I am able to atleast use my brothers time warner account, and do everything with this app that I wish I could do with the optimum app. So for that I say you're amazing and thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
Theoretically i could work on all of those programs, but it takes a lot of time and effort, and apparently paypal didn't like me receiving donations, so that's out :/ but i mean if i'm feeling bored one day I'll take a look at it.
[Android Apps and Games] Jedis:
You can receive donations, people just can't select donation when paying. It's meant for friends/family and paypal doesn't receive a cut of that money. If you are going to receive donations, they have to pay for a "service" which then gives paypal their cut.
[Android Apps and Games] jrosaly:
anyone care to kinda give me a little bit of training as to how to remove all the checks like vpn, adb, etc. I had a working version which I could use over vpn, but now everytime I launch the app it tells me that I have to upgrade to continue. I imagine you have to decompile the code and modify code, which even though I'm not a programmer, I feel pretty confortable doing with my college programming classes. Any help or pointers is appreciated. Or if someone has the latest working version even better. Thanks.

Hey dice,

You might want to update the opening post with the latest apk. I've checked your thread a few times and never saw your updated apk ad I was looking at the first post. Thanks again, it works great.
[Android Apps and Games] monsterman83:
newest version working great for hdmi out. Tested on my s4 and note 4. THANK YOU!!! oh also want to note that neither phone is rooted :D
[Android Apps and Games] TokedUp:

[Android Apps and Games] ytj87:
It's still working for me. But generally Time Warner disables old version access shortly after a new app release
[Android Apps and Games] Jedis:
Hey dice,

Just wondering if you were able to look into removing the "Still Watching?" popup?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ElwOOd_CbGp:
the version I downloaded from a couple pages back just quit. damn them so greedy. let me know if there is anything I can do to help get this working again
[Android Apps and Games] Jedis:
Yeah, it is forcing me to update now, too.
[Android Apps and Games] Jedis:
Anyone know how to get this working on the Fire TV with the latest update?
[Android Apps and Games] Apo11on:
+1

Same here...I was really looking forward to trying out TWC TV app with my new ZTE Spro 2 android projector, but as soon as i turn on the v6 mod, posted a couple of pages back, it asks to update. And the official latest version refuses to play HDMI output. [MENTION=952049]dice[/MENTION] : it would be really cool if some sort of version spoofer could be implemented, so when Time Warner queries the app to decide whether to allow it to access it servers or not - it could reply with any custom version number we chose
[Android Apps and Games] ElwOOd_CbGp:
Has anyone else contacted TW to let them know how annoying their childish game is?

sent from the tapatalk app on my S3 running whatever rom Im running this week
[Android Apps and Games] jimbodude:
i hate twc for blocking this. we already pay a lot for their service. any updates on the app?
[Android Apps and Games] ytj87:
TWC is probably not entirely to blame for blocking this. They have contracts with networks that are dead set on protecting local affiliates.

That said, if I knew better how to figure out decompiled Android apps, I'd do this myself. Unfortunately I don't have the time to learn. But maybe in the near future.
[Android Apps and Games] jimbodude:
Decided to code it myself. See my post here
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
Hi Everyone, Sorry I've been absent... Long story short: I recently had to have major surgery and my recovery has been tedious :(... but anyways...

I'll be posting an updated app soon! I'll also try to remove the "still watching?" box and try to remove versioning checks since it seems to be a popular request :)

I'll also be making the app believe you're on verizon's network since it seems you get extra little perks that are exclusive to VZW customers...

Also, let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to take a look at while I'm working on it.

Thanks everyone!
[Android Apps and Games] samappz:
Dice great to see you back and I hope you are able to make a good recovery from surgery. Cant wait to try your new app!
[Android Apps and Games] jbgtenn:
Dice was wanting to know if you could also look at the spectrum tv app and see of you might be able to remove the hdmi checks.
[Android Apps and Games] Sgibson513:
This apk is not installing on the Lg G4. I have tried multiple versions including the one from post 384(I think that's the right number)
[Android Apps and Games] krawhitham:
any updates?
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
Yes, I've been working heavily on the app.. I'm hoping that soon i can have a release... there are so many modifications to do, as I am adding some very cool functionality ;), I might post just the version with the checks removed first so you guys have something to play around with
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
what's the specific issue you're having when trying to install?

You may have to enable "allow installations from unknown sources" in the dev settings screen... if your phone isn't rooted, there are instructions on how to enable that menu on your phone in the forums
[Android Apps and Games] Zermelo:
Yes that would be great. Is there any way that it would be possible on an Android TV to remove the HDMI and debug check independently of modding the app? I think that would be a better solution as you wouldn't have to continuously modding the app.
[Android Apps and Games] ytj87:
An xposed module to cloak vpn, HDMI, and debugging would be ideal and nullify the need to mod the app. There is a root cloaking xposed module.
[Android Apps and Games] Jedis:
This doesn't help those of us that are using the app on a Fire TV.
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
New version has been posted with a few extra treats for you guys ;) enjoy!

Maybe, I'd need an account to see if i can.

Try the newest version in the OP... was just posted today

I don't know... maybe... It would require intercepting systemwide messages, and I'd have to spend a lot of time figuring out how to do that, so I don't think I'm going to explore it unless i suddently have a lot of free time available

I can look into that if you guys are interested, but as this post points out:

yeah, and also everyone else that can't root their devices... newest apk is up :)
[Android Apps and Games] krawhitham:
Anyway to remove the top banner?

Using Fire TV gen 1 latest pre-rooted image with TWCTV_4.1.2.32-v6.apk
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
Weird, there should be no banner on full screen mode O.o, I haven't encountered that issue before... is that the system bar? or just an empty border?

Edit: try double clicking on the video... that should trigger full screen mode on/off
[Android Apps and Games] krawhitham:
Double clicking the mouse does nothing

If I click and drag to the left the words "Time Warner Cable" are replaced with "Recent Channels" and it shows the last channels watched

The banner does not display when watching ondemand shows only when watching Live TV
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
what kind of device are you using? and what's the resolution?... does it happen on the device itself or on HDMI out?
[Android Apps and Games] krawhitham:
Amazon Fire TV gen 1 running the latest pre-rooted rom (51.1.6.3_516012020)

btw The banner does not display when watching ondemand shows only when watching Live TV
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
Can you send me a full logcat from the time you start the app, tune to a channel and watch live TV for a few seconds? also try tuning to different channels, and also watch an ondemand video in full screen, and toggle full screen on/off on on-demand, then return to the main menu, and exit the app gracefully.

Unfortunately the only way to debug it from my end is to have a device that has a similar resolution/DPI to yours. From what i see in the code, there are invocations to enter FullScreen mode when tuning a LiveTV channel, but also exception handlers, which (I think) mean that they expect that routine to fail in certain circumstances, so logcat might help me figure out what happens.

Feel free to PM it to me.

P.S.: Please don't filter the messages as I've posted in my OP, as some messages pertaining to the app may come from dalvik and others may only have the PID and not the string 'twc'
[Android Apps and Games] Jedis:
I can't seem to get the latest version to work on a Fire TV. After entering in my username and password, it says it cannot detect a wireless network or cellular connection. The Fire TV is using ethernet.

[Android Apps and Games] krawhitham:
I'm on a wired connection and had no issues
[Android Apps and Games] Jedis:
Odd. I just erased the apk and redownloaded and reloaded it. Same result.
[Android Apps and Games] Zermelo:
Just wanted to give a thanks for the update. Working perfectly on my Nvidia Shield TV through HDMI.

Great work.
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
Wonderful :) Glad it works for you, and thanks for reporting back.

hmm, are you running a custom rom? Ethernet connection is supported by the app natively, so it shouldn't be an issue... however I can modify the apk to default to wireless when "Other networks" are connected... I'll post an update later today, if my fix for the below issue doesn't take too long...

Just briefly skimmed over the logs, and I think I should be able to modify it. It seems that this is the normal (intended behavior) by the APK for a device with your specs.

Before I start, could you tell me your Android's DPI, resolution, and color depth? I'm assuming it is Full HD 1920x1080 res, xhdpi (320dpi), with 24bpp color depth. But i need to be 100% sure so that I know where to look for.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] krawhitham:
Yep

1920x1080

320dpi

24-bit

60fps

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Jedis:
I am not running a custom ROM. It's the stock, most updated version of the first gen Fire TV. The stock TWC app does the same thing for me - it says it must run on wifi or a cellular connection. It refuses to work unless I disconnect the ethernet cable and run on wireless. I need to be able to run on ethernet.
[Android Apps and Games] samappz:
What are the verizon exclusive features btw?
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
It's region-specific... basically some VZW customers in certain areas have like 2-3 extra channels available away from home vs everyone else. In some areas it doesn't make a difference whether you're on VZW or any other network since there's no extra channels.

In my area (LA) there were like 3 extra channels away from home when I made the app believe i was on VZW. IDK much about other areas, and i mean this also was a while ago... there's a possibility that there's no additional benefits anymore... however the code to check your carrier and carry out extra sub-routines is still there... so it must still do something.

Also, i wanted to ask everyone using the app... are you able to watch PPV channels via the app/site? I'd also like to talk to someone that has all or most premium channels on their account. If you'd like to help me develop an amazing app and also have all/most channels available on ur account, feel free to PM me ;)
[Android Apps and Games] cerberus0f:
im excited to try this
[Android Apps and Games] Jedis:
Any luck on fixing the ethernet issue?
[Android Apps and Games] Apo11on:
This solution is not applicable and doesn't work for WiFi only devices, which connect to internet through tethered connection, such as phone's hotspot. I got it to work as described above just fine on my phone, but my WiFi only tablet and WiFi only car navigation, which get internet through phone cannot use TWC TV app this way. The reason for that is because tethering is not an actual app, which can communicate with a proxy - it's low level system feature, which talks directly to TCP-IP stack and bypasses any running proxies.

TWC TV app detects right away this is a WiFi connection, or cellular connection outside home network, and blocks most of the channels. Would be really nice to have a solution for WiFi only devices.
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
Sorry, i've been busy trying to fix the full-screen issue... it's really hard bc i don't have a device that has that kind of resolution, so the app won't display as it would on like a tablet or higher resolutions... BUT here's a little gift just for you :P

http://www.mediafire.com/download/w42eil61nt7hv8v/TWCTV_4.1.2.32-v6.1.apk

let me know if it works or not.

Note: This does not include any additional modifications for full-screen mode.... sorry krawhitham :( I'll keep working on it.

That's not really how it works... if you want to use a proxy with tethering, then you need an app that sets up the proxy for system-wide traffic... that means that everything in ur device will be routed through ur home network.

An alternative to this would be to use a VPN server, as it will route traffic system-wide as well... If you have a router with VPN capabilities then this may be a better option for you, however I'm just barely learning VPN configuration and routing/forwarding, so i wouldn't be much help :( if u use openvpn: https://openvpn.net/index.php/download/community-downloads.html then I might be able to help u set it up on ur pc and android... but I'll warn you, I LITERALLY just learned and set up my first server like 2 days ago.
[Android Apps and Games] baturcotte:
If you want easy to setup VPN software (with OpenVPN compatibility), I suggest the Softether VPN. I've been using it with success (and with this app) for a while. https://www.softether.org
[Android Apps and Games] Apo11on:
Thanks for the VPN advice - my router does have VPN capabilities, I activated VPN server and was able to get the app working on WiFi only device, through a tethered connection. Native Android hotspot didn't work, but using 3rd party WiFi Tether Router app did the trick. However, I'm experiencing the same problem as reported by [MENTION=2488167]Jedis[/MENTION] and about 25% of the screen is blocked by Time Warner Cable logo and notification bar. I did try your v6.1 app, which attempts to fix the issue, but unfortunately it had no effect - see attached screenshot of my car navigation, running your v6.1.
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
from my previous post...
[Android Apps and Games] Apo11on:
OOps, my bad :p I misread it and thought that version is specifically for full screen issue. Will keep patiently waiting for the full screen fix. Thanks for all the hard work you do. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Jedis:
Hey dice,

Thanks for trying, but that didn't fix the issue. See attached. After I enter my login and password and try to complete login, I get the following popup. After I click okay, it closes the TWC app.
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
Weird... you can access the internet with every other app though right?

can you run the command "ifconfig" on terminal and copy/paste that to me? you can run it either terminal emulator, or adb shell (on desktop) then just type ifconfig [Enter} and it should show you details of all your interfaces.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Jedis:

[Android Apps and Games] juser69:
Wonder if there is some way to patch it so that it always passes current version check ?
[Android Apps and Games] Apo11on:
I've raised that question before. My suggestion for implementation was: add a setting to manually specify version number, so the app would save it and reply with it to TWC server when queried. If user sees TWC server does not accept current version it means the app was upgraded, so the user could just go to Google Play, get latest app version and update the version setting in this hacked build.

On another note - we're still hoping to get a Xmas present in the form of solution for the blocked top portion of the screen. In the current build TWC logo and horizontal black bar it sits on occupy about 25% of the screen - I posted a picture earlier.
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
You're welcome :)

It's difficult, even if i manually changed the version number, I would still have to release the app with the new version number every time it gets updated

Right, and sorry I'm still working on it :/, but for now, OP has been updated with new version :) enjoy
[Android Apps and Games] brandogg:
Is anyone willing to do this for the Brighthouse BHTV app? It's essentially the same app as TWC (in fact most strings inside it mention TWC, last time I decompiled it).

Edit - never mind, I did it myself. Was a little put off my smali editing in the past, but Virtuous Ten Studio is pretty nice. Took out HDMI checks (well, HDMI Connected calls the method that HDMI disconnected calls now, but also changed all the booleans for allow with VPN, HDMI, root, USB debugging, proxy etc. to true.
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
Was wondering, are you still having the same issue with this build? i can't seem to replicate it in my current environment anymore :/
[Android Apps and Games] Apo11on:
I haven't tried your build. Because I'm using VPN now I'm able to use the stock TWC TV app. I will test yours as soon as I get a chance, probably tomorrow and will let you know.
[Android Apps and Games] heyyaheyya:
Yes, I am still having the fullscreen issue with this build on my Fire TV. I think this will persist with any device that has landscape orientation only. Version 3.x interface was landscape only so there was no rotation issue. If force update message can be disabled on 3.x, then this will be workaround for fullscreen issue.
[Android Apps and Games] Zermelo:
Hey Dice,

I wanted to thank you for the update to this app.

Also, I use the TWC app on the Nvidia shield, all I really need is the HDMI check disabled (since I use it in my House and am a TWC Subscriber).

I decompiled the apk in apk studio in hopes of finding a simple flag to disable the HDMI check, but didn't have any luck. Could you give me some hints on where to start in disabling the check? I'd really appreciate it. This way, I could mod the app without having to wait for an update just for the HDMI check.

Personally, I don't even know why they bother with the HDMI check, there are several devices, like the ROKU and Samsung TVs which use the App on HDMI, so blocking HDMI output for selective devices doesn't make sense. Thanks.

Thanks

Temporary workaround on my rooted FireTV. The app has options for non rooted but I cannot test on a stock FireTV.
