Build Details

Do you have the build details and the modifications you made listed somewhere?

would it be possible to get them?

I would like to build this app out myself.

Not trying to steal anyones thunder, I just dont like putting hacked apps on my devices I havent modded myself.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
I believe I provided details on how to do it a while back on this thread, you'd have to dig through. However things have changed, and more than likely it wont work, but if you get the concepts it shouldn't be hard to reproduce ;)

Did you discover what exactly the official spectrum app was using to determine if my phone was rooted? I had done the magisk hide along with deleting all files/folders with twrp/magisk etc along with other attempts but spectrum live TV still complained about the device being rooted.

Wondering if that's why my pokemon go is not working either?

Thank you so much

I could kiss who ever it is that modded this spectrum app. I pay these b@stards over 150 dollars a month and they have the nerve to try to tell me what I can use to watch it on after that. It's crazy but you have made my day well year by this thank you so much

So there's now no apk for AndroidTV? Spectrum lured me back with incredible pricing and with little DRM it works great in Emby with a HDHomeRun Prime CableCARD tuner but I'd still like the app for OnDemand and to pick up AXS which is DRM with no separate app..

Thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] andybones:
Probably already have awhile ago, can't say. But how to share without Charter killing the fun. They suck so badly.

Even if you have the modded apk it doesn't work. Charter did something to block it.

I know on firestick there's a workaround, so to speak, but don't think that's what you're needing, sorry.

And I 100% agree. We pay MORE than enough to Spectrum. It's ridiculous.
[Android Apps and Games] besweeet:
Speak with your wallet and ditch their TV service. Our bill is $192 per month, which is absurd. Going to an internet-only plan and Hulu TV. Should save $67 per month / $804 per year.
[Android Apps and Games] Sammy201:
The 24-month deal that Spectrum tossed me gives me more content and the same internet speed as I previously had. I was using YouTube TV combined with Philo and this cost less and provides more channels. In addition to that, I am able to run this through my emby server LiveTV DVR and have my content available wherever I am more than adequate internet connection.

I am interested in the fire stick work around. What does not work with Shield TV?

I am able to access Spectrum through PlayOn in the Kodi app on my shield TV. The problem with this is Spectrum keeps itself one step ahead of PlayOn and keeps breaking the streams.
[Android Apps and Games] besweeet:
What does your plan look like? I'm on a legacy TWC plan. Called a few weeks ago to see if anything can be done, so they offered to migrate to a new Spectrum plan that cost more money for less features..........
[Android Apps and Games] Sammy201:
I have Spectrum Select with Digi Tier 1 and Digi Tier 2 plus Ultra Internet (450/20) for $132 a month, taxes and fees included. This includes two CableCARD's @ $2 each. Previously I had just Ultra Internet (450/20) for $92 a month plus YouTubeTV for $50 a month plus Philo for $20 a month, which came out to $162 a month. I'm saving $30 a month with Spectrum right now and for the next 20ish months. At that time, it goes up $26 a month for the next year, a break even.

After that, I'll re-evaluate but I really like having my LiveTV / DVR in Emby and completely under my control. I have 6 tuners (streams) with two SiliconDust HDHomeRun Prime CableCARD tuners and another 8 OTA tuners (streams) with two SiliconDust HDHomeRun Quatro Tuners giving me a total of 14 tuners, albeit 8 of them are limited to local OTA broadcast. I record locally to a SSD then run MCEBuddy to convert from MPEGTS in *.ts container to HEVC in *.mkv container, stripping commercials and putting into a 4Tb Spinner HDD. This only expires when I chose it to expire and doesn't have VOD forced commercials either. In 32 months when the promo finally ends and the price goes up again, I'll probably stick with it because it offers flexibility not available otherwise. I did like YTTV and Philo, especially when they were $35 and $16 respectively but I really like this better.

I just wish I had the app on my ShieldTV but I don't so I'll live with it.
[Android Apps and Games] besweeet:
Interesting... I thought TWC / Spectrum's CableCARDs were only compatible with Windows Media Center and basically a waste on anything else.

Do you manually strip the commercials or is there some automated trick?

Your plan looks like a pretty good deal. I bet Spectrum will cal l me up the day after I go internet only and offer some low-cost deal that actually has the TV plan I had.
[Android Apps and Games] Sammy201:
In my area only a few channels are marked Copy Once. The rest are Copy Freely meaning they play fine in Emby with CableCARD tuners.

For commercial stripping I use http://www.mcebuddy2x.com/ and it's all done automagically.

Time Warner is updating the app on May 14th to add more streaming/on-demand channels and allows some to be streamed outside of the home/home network.

[Android Apps and Games] spunker88:
Really excited to see live TV support added for older versions of Android. Will make my Droid 3 a great smart TV device since I'm replacing it soon. (never got ICS officially and GB is the only OS that supports HDMI)

Here is the official article from Time Warner about this update:

http://www.twcableuntangled.com/2013/05/twc-tv-app-android-upgrade/
[Android Apps and Games] jiggz88:
Thanks alot, I tried this on a whim after I rooted my stock rom on my fireball and was annoyed to find TWC tv hated me for it.

With this app, everything works fine. One thing I have noticed though and i'm not sure if this was there before, but when watching live tv I thought there was channel numbers listed there like it is under the guide section. I'm not 100% on that fact, but I thought I might mention it to see if I'm just going crazy. :P
[Android Apps and Games] alwaysbless:
Outside of the home is still going to be very restrictive the article says its essentially adding the same channels that are available to the ios twc app outside of the home, and that is limited to like 10 channels only that no one will even want to watch. What is nice though is the addition of on demand movies and shows. I really hope this apk gets updated when it is released
[Android Apps and Games] spunker88:
Well its a step in the right direction. The fact that they are introducing several channels for outside the home streaming shows that they want to provide outside the home content. The on demand is working via the website on desktops, it looks pretty nice, has a sort of Neflix look to it. Wish they could do the same UI revamp on the cable boxes. I hate the fact that the cable box software is laggy and only shows the guide in 4:3 even though I have an HD box and TV.
[Android Apps and Games] fuzzynco:
True but...

They told me the issue is the content providers. They are still in talks with many of the channels

to offer outside-the-home the same as in-the-home content.

Still BBCA is available, (I like Doctor Who and Orphan Black ;)).

I do wish they developed for Android first instead of iOS :(.
[Android Apps and Games] fuzzynco:
Is USB Debugging needed when phone is not on the wire?

I have an app that sets usb debugging on when the wire is detected.

With the other measures, (renaming superuser and build.prof edits),

the play store version works at home,

I thought debugging flag was for adbd server / adb client communication?

I figured unless I was using adb wireless in one of its forms I didn't need

it manually on? :confused:

Thanks :)

PS: Of course I'm not sure what the changed code in the new outside-the-home

will do / demand. :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] stedrocklp:
This app worked like a charm for me. At first I downloaded the app from the play store and it gave me the "root boot". I have five Android devices all are rooted so your app is very helpful. Just wanted to say thanks and keep up the good work.
[Android Apps and Games] cpalmer2k:
Just saw where Google Play shows TWC TV as being updated today.. The description hasn't changed yet, so I'm not sure if this is the "big" out of home update we've been looking for. I hope dice can work his magic and get the HDMI limitation and root access fixed on the new one as well.

EDIT: It looks like it is, just saw this on NY1's Website:

You can now add Android devices to the list of ways you can watch NY1.

The station is now available for live viewing outside the home through the Time Warner Cable TV app.

The service is available at no extra charge to television subscribers of Time Warner Cable, which is our parent company.

If you already have the Time Warner Cable app you will have to update it to see the live NY1 option.

Users of the iPhone and iPad were hooked up a few weeks ago.
[Android Apps and Games] spunker88:
Update is now live and streaming/on-demand support is there even for older 2.x devices. Unfortunately I can't watch due to being rooted, even though I temp unrooted.

The version number appears to be 3.2#44 for all 2.2+ devices even though it says version varies by device. So only one apk would need to be modified.

Streaming over 3G/4G is now allowed for Verizon users but only for content available away from home. I can't watch anything since I get root warnings, but I can see whats available. Not sure if this is just a simple build.prop check (an easy change) or if it checks the IP to make sure its a Verizon one. On demand can be viewed and in my area channels that can be watched via mobile are:

BBC America

GMC

NY1

TVGN

YNN

Heres the new apk for anybody interested in modding, I'll save you the time of grabbing it yourself.
[Android Apps and Games] Mista513:
Yeah I was wondering if anyone messed with it yet... I know it was gonna have the root checks so I didn't even bother with the official.

The Verizon streaming is time exclusive so the next update will probably enable it for all providers.

Here is the up-to-date app, please confirm that HDMI and proxy checks are indeed disabled so i can update the OP

I will admit, HDMI checks were a B to work around... they merged it with code necessary for live TV to play so it was very tricky... i wouldn't be surprised if there is still a check somewhere.

Video On Demand also had it's own HDMI check so please test to make sure i've covered everything :)

Enjoy!

Access over 3g/4g??

I have the new official. It works as documented for outside-the-home, but 3g/4g is not supported.

it appears to need a wi-fi connection even for out-of-the-home use. Its supposed to work,

but TWC support says they have issues with 3g not connecting though.
[Android Apps and Games] spunker88:
WOW, Thanks this works great! Tested it on my Droid 3 with 2.3, rooted, and USB debugging enabled and everything worked without a single error. HDMI works for both live and on-demand. I'll try to test on a friend's rooted Razr with 4.1 later today to see if HDMI works since 4.x may act different.

EDIT: Also works great on the Razr. I did get a HDMI error once because I waited until the video was playing before I plugged the cable in. If I had HDMI plugged in before I opened the app it worked fine.

here to verify that the new apk is working outside my home network via wifi at work AND 4G LTE. Live TV (4 whole channels) and VOD both working. Watching Amy Schumer right now.
[Android Apps and Games] tamanaco:
I'm probably missing something obvious... I downloaded this APK to my rooted Nexus 7 and SGS3 a couple times and I get a Parse Error on both devices when I try to install it. What Am I doing wrong?

[Android Apps and Games] dice:
Cool, I'll try and remove that restriction as well... i remembered i had to do a different fix for removing the HDMI detection if you plug it in after you've started live TV. So i'll give it a shot, thanks for the feedback!

and thanks to everyone else for the feedback! I'm glad HDMI worked on the first try xD I'm too poor to own an HDMI cable so have to rely on feedback lol. I'll try and remove the last check so you can plug/unplug the hdmi cable at any time and update the OP

OP has been updated!
[Android Apps and Games] cpalmer2k:
Is it just me or does the video quality appear to be a lot worse than it is on the iPad (for those who can compare)? I can watch NY1 in full screen on the iPad in very good quality. But coming from my Razr Maxx the video is much lower quality, and stutters. I'm using WiFi on both devices, so I know connection speed isn't an issue. I haven't tried it with HDMI from the phone yet, that might make a difference vs. the device itself?
[Android Apps and Games] spunker88:
If your just mirroring displays then it will only output at the resolution of the phone's display even though it upconverts. My Droid 3 is 960x540 so even though it claims to be putting out a 1080p signal over HDMI its just upconverting 960x540.

I know the Razr does this thing with Webtop though where it can increase the actual HDMI resolution but its still only 720p IIRC. Not sure what the iPad does, but if its one of the newer high res versions then it can probably mirror at a better resolution.

It still looks good enough for me, much better quality than viewing analog on an HDTV because you don't want to rent another box.
[Android Apps and Games] alwaysbless:
Yep youre right, the new apk has broken HD streaming for a lot of devices, it also causes severe stuttering. It was driving me nuts for a while I thought it was my connection being throttled or my router misbehaving but when I tested using the older apk my HD streams were fine again
[Android Apps and Games] cpalmer2k:
When you say "new apk" which do you mean? I'm using dice's original out of home apk from earlier in the week, not the second newer one he posted earlier today. It looks horrid and I know it isn't the TWC servers because side by side it looks awesome on an ipad. Only problem is I can't mirror that to my tv :( The apple forums people play too nice to make an Airplay enabled version :( They removed the root restriction, but won't the airplay one even though they admit they know how..
[Android Apps and Games] alwaysbless:
This isnt a problem with this custom apk, its just time warners new twc tv apk in general. Ive been testing it using the stock apk from the play store and it exhibits the same behavior. Something changed in the way the video is processed/decoded im not really sure but going back to the last apk he posted before they added all this new stuff got my hd streams working again.

Hey Dice,

Any chance you can hook up the Brighthouse brothers. I opened up your TWC one to see if you had any comments around the smali objects where you had HDMI_ but didn't see any comments. can you elaborate your technique or if it's easier or more proprietary to you, i'll upload the new BHTV app.

Hi dice. I dlod your modified version once again its working amazingly. However im still in trouble/ in need of watching outside my home network.

I went back to your post, # 84 and saw you did try it out. Sorry, i did not see that post or would have thanked you then. I did just try it and the HDMI kicked an error. I appreciate the effort though. I'm just so frustrated with Brighthouse and it's constant updates, each of which suck more than the last. Currently I have a droid RAZR, DNA, Nexus 7, nexus 4 and the One. BH has made it incompatible with all devices but the nexus 4 and it won't work on that. I pulled the apk and manually pushed it to my devices, only the One S works. I have an HDMI MHL adapter and the One S fails when trying to push out via HDMI. It just spins a circle. So i'm still unable to get HDMI, which is my main concern. I'll attach my latest attempt. I have #hack statements wherever i did a const. I hope you can spot my mistake if you have time.

From what i can tell, i should only need to make changes to HDMIStatusReceiver.smali and ChannelListingActivity.smali. The others with HDMI_PLUGGED call those two packages.
