Yes I would just need to disable the behind TV mod - this is only 1 line of smali code - but I'd need to decompile the apk and then re-upload it again, then people would get confused on what version to download.

When a newer apk comes out - I'll not add that mod to it ok.
[Android Apps and Games] illmatc07:
Thanks for responding mrdude!! That's perfect, I look forward to this. I just wanted to also ask if it would be possible to do something like this for the DirectTV for Tablets app or AT&T U-verse app, as the DirectTV for Tablets isn't working on the Shield or firetv right now with the new update, and the U-verse app has never worked on the shield.
[Android Apps and Games] mrdude2478:
I don't do requests so please don't ask:

Here's a modded version with the behind modem mod removed - for those that need it:

MAKE SURE you use a wifi connection with this version as a wired connection will cause it to crash - obviously if it thinks you're away from home - you won't be on ethernet.

[Android Apps and Games] illmatc07:
Thanks for this version! Sorry for asking, I thought it would be a similar process.

---------- Post added at 01:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 AM ----------

The app closes right away after i login with this version with the error "Unfortunately TWC has stopped". Not sure if it's because I'm on the Nvidia Shield, but the previous version worked.
[Android Apps and Games] mrdude2478:
You need to use WI FI because it thinks you're not in your house, therefore you wouldn't be using a wired connection.
[Android Apps and Games] illmatc07:
Perfect! Worked thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] CobraGT2000:
Do you happen to have the latest version of the app? 4.4.xx something. Appears it wont run when the app checks for the update. And or remove the update checks?

**EDIT** Nevermind, must have missed the post from MrDude. Thank you sir.

Hello,

I have a Transmart android tv box. My system is rooted and when I download the current version, I am getting an update notification if I want to use the app. The minute I update it the HDMI window message pops up again and I am unable to watch any channel. Any ideas to help me?

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] holypuma:
App works well for me on CM 10.1 nightly on my SGS2 i777. Thanks for your work, bro. :)
[Android Apps and Games] alwaysbless:
the apk works great on my nexus 7, however on my android tv box using the rk3066 ANYTIME I try and change from the first channel it defaults to (for me its A&E) it causes the stream to freeze and I have to exit the app. Consequently I only have one working channel lol all the others are there but not accessible since I cannot switch between them
[Android Apps and Games] field3d:
With all.

I'm using all no need to disable dolby, etc.

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] alwaysbless:
Bah.. So I installed the version directly from the playstore and used the /sys/virtual/switch/hdmi workaround or whatever and it still freezes during channel change :( so seems like maybe the rk3066 soc cant handle channel changes
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
glad to hear! don't forget to press thanks :)

Is there any way you can send me a logcat of your device when it freezes? that should help me diagnose the issue.

great news! thanks for letting me know

Yeah if it doesn't work with my version it will most likely not work with the play-store version either, let me know if you can get me a logcat so i can check and see what i can do :)

Re: [APP][03.15.13] Time Warner Cable-Root/HDMI checks removed & watch away from home

Works great on my touchpad with cm10. Ill have to try to set up a proxy server now so i can watch away from home. I have an old netbook that i'm going to try this on.
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
great! let me know if you need any help setting it up... it only takes some basic networking knowledge to do so, but i'll put more detailed instructions in the 2nd post if you need more help... maybe a video? idk never made one lol
[Android Apps and Games] spunker88:
I think I got it working, I'll have to take a drive somewhere and find some wifi to really test it since the slow 3G where I live would be too slow to attempt Time Warner streaming. I changed the port in Wingate since 80 is used for HTTP and wouldn't forwarding that port mess with HTTP traffic for other computers on the network. IDK, not too knowledgeable with this stuff but a random port I have used in the past for streaming from VLC works fine and was already set up to forward to my netbook. Using 3G on my Droid and Autoproxy Lite, its reporting the IP as my Time Warner one. I can see the IP change between the normal Verizon 3G IP and my Time Warner one when I toggle it. It doesn't hog too much CPU on the netbook which is a good thing since its CPU is pretty weak. The only reason I want to use it is because I was given it for free, it has a dead battery so its not really portable and netbooks use hardly any power so I can leave it running as a server 24/7.
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
Ha! Great! Glad I'm not the only one enjoying TV on the go :), and yeah you should definitely not use port 80... Proxy ports are generally 8080, but any number should do... As long as another program isn't using it :)

Enjoy!

OH also a random question... It's anyone able to press on the DVR button without getting the "cannot communicate with cable box error"? According to twc they say some regions work and others don't... I'm just curious to see what regions are working, if any at all
[Android Apps and Games] spunker88:
I don't have a DVR on my current box so I just get an error if I try to access it. I just tried setting up a laptop to connect through the proxy and stream video from the Time Warner website and it worked fine, I saw quite a bit of network activity on the netbook when the video was playing so it seemed to work. I'll have to see if there is a way to limit the proxy speed. HD video is nice, but with only 1Mb/s upload speeds I feel like a lot of my upload bandwidth would be used possibly impacting others at home using the connection. I hate how Time Warner gives us 15 to 20Mb/s down but only 1Mb/s up.

The nice part about this proxy setup is the netbook handles it quite well, with CPU utilization by Wingate under 10% most of the time meaning it will run cool and quiet.
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
Yeah I know, wish they would give us more upload speed :( their next tier does offer 2mbps up tho... and now I feel like I'm advertising for them... eww lol, but yeah you can definitely limit the upload rate, most routers allow you to do that... personally I have not limited the upload rate and I haven't noticed anything bad over my local network tbh, I still get download rates of like 1.5MB/s easily, so I wouldn't worry about it to much, unless you are gonna be using the app on multiple devices outside your network a lot
[Android Apps and Games] Aron_H:
The DVR button works for me, although it only let's me view and edit scheduled recordings, if there is any other functionality I can't find it.

Oh and I'm in upstate NY if that helps.
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
I see, I think that's all its supposed to do, but it doesn't work for me... in your dvr menu do you have the modern black look? or the classic look that time warner has had for years
[Android Apps and Games] Aron_H:
Its the black look. I'm thinking it is different from when I had cable a couple of years ago, but to be honest never paid much attention to it, lol.
[Android Apps and Games] spunker88:
I found a better proxy app to use. ProxyDroid allows you to select which apps use the proxy so I can set only the TWC app to use the proxy. It also has the ability to detect wifi SSID or 3G and change configurations, although I haven't tested that part.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.proxydroid
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
got it... so basically anyone in LA CANNOT use the DVR functionality of the app because the region has boxes with older firmware... the old "purple" look rather than the most recent "black" look with a completely redesigned UI. Basically it means that it is completely normal for the app to say "cable box not responding" upon clicking DVR if you have a DVR with the old firmware.... there's no way around it (not that the DVR button does much anyways :/)

According to TWC, any box starting with the following model numbers are currently not supported:

DCP#####

DCH#####

DCX#####

if you have a whole home DVR then the app works... if you want the functionality on any other DVR then avoiding those motorola models should be just fine

awesome! I didn't try very hard to look at different proxy apps tbh lol, but this is great, I'll check it out and update the OP :)

Installed app on Nook Color running latest nightly (3/18) and it will stream video for about 8-10 seconds and then it freezees (audio is still streaming). Is this a hardware issue with the Nook Color. This app works great on my Galaxy Note.
[Android Apps and Games] spunker88:
Possibly the app will play lower quality video for several seconds and then switches to HD quality video after so the older GPU and single core CPU in the Nook Color may not be able to run it well. Unfortunately there is no way to force the lower quality video to play unless you can somehow throttle the bandwidth to your Nook.
[Android Apps and Games] dice:
Does the app freeze or the whole tablet? Can you send me a logcat up till the point where it freezes? I might be able to help

if I have it.

Yeah that seems very likely, though it could also be a decoder issue... Either way I think I might be able to force the app to stay in standard definition if all else fails :P
[Android Apps and Games] spunker88:
The ProxyDroid app is doing something awesome. When you put it in "Individual Mode" and only select the TWC app to go through the proxy it seems to be playing the video locally and this is on a non Time Warner connection. Maybe the video is played through another process? I was connected via remote desktop to my server netbook so I could monitor network usage to check if this was actually happening.

With a full system global proxy set I can see the network upload usage on the netbook going up to 0.8 to 1 Mbps where 1 Mbps is about the max upload speed I get at home. On my tablet the video never switches over to HD and stops to buffer every now and then. With just the TWC app going through the proxy there is a quick spike in bandwidth when the app is first opened but once the video starts playing the bandwidth utilization goes down to almost nothing (a little bit of upload was being used for the remote desktop connection <0.1Mbps). The video also switched to HD within several seconds just like I was watching it on a local connection.
[Android Apps and Games] saulin78:
mrdude2478 is too bad you don't take request but I want to Mod the DirecTV app to remove the HDMI check. Would you be able to tell me what you changed on this app to remove the HDMI check so that I can see if I can apply the same on the DirecTV app or at least so that I have an idea what to look for and how to modify it?

If you could PM me what you changed to bypass the HDMI check that would be much appreciated
[Android Apps and Games] mrdude2478:
Every app is different, you can't just decompile an apk and then another apk has the same code, you'll need to do this yourself, as I said I don't do requests and have no need or intention of modding the Direct TV apk.

I am on android 5.1.1 and get a parsing error when trying to install. The original apk at the beginning of the thread will load but gives the must update - hence I tried the recent release from mrdude but get the parsing error. Ideas? Since I can't load this yet - is this full screen like when I use an Xbox via hdmi - that may be tablet like mode thanks
[Android Apps and Games] mrdude2478:
You need to uninstall your old apk first, if you have a parsing error it sounds like the apk you downloaded is corrupted, try downloading again using chrome or another browser.
[Android Apps and Games] Lt.col.johncross:
factory reset - root - install from 2 downloads from https://mega.nz/#!NtRSTJiI!yl3cnNC_C...v3oozBwnLiUMRE. parsing error on both.

will it not work on android 5.1.1??
[Android Apps and Games] ytj87:
I'd try it in an emulator, if no one with 5.1.1 responds. I've only got MM and KK running.
[Android Apps and Games] opfreak:

[Android Apps and Games] Lt.col.johncross:

https://mega.nz/#!E4B12ZYa!jx9l3hWiuePCCf2ibGHC0WDXIdSkonWjkcq4HzSni9E

I noticed this app has been updated and patched the apk - you have 2 versions included, one that allows Ethernet and thinks you're at home, the other is WIFI only and thinks you're away from home.

Enjoy......
[Android Apps and Games] besweeet:
Do you have one that works over cellular that thinks you're home?
[Android Apps and Games] mrdude2478:
The one that works on ethernet (thinks you're at home - also works on wifi. I didn't try cellular but it will most likely work over that as well (unless your provider is blocking it).
[Android Apps and Games] besweeet:
Fortunately, TWC allows for a handful of channels to be viewable while on cellular. Unfortunately, while the modified Ethernet APK allows all channels to be attempted to be opened, they throw an error. All the channels that were already viewable over cellular still load. It seems that TWC absolutely requires the ISP to be TWC / Spectrum through some way. As I'm without a root (and won't be until my Note 7's warranty expires), it looks like my only option would be to use a personal / home VPN and a VPN-friendly APK.

Trying on Android tv box

Was thrilled to find this thread. Wanted to use it on an Android tv box, rooted. Tried both Mrdude's apps plus the op's. Op's wouldn't open, the others do, but also get the message "unable to present channel... at this time" ..., plus only in portrait, but won't load any channels.

I am trying away from home. I was confused with the descriptions for the apk, whether I need to do what is listed in the OP to use it away from the home.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ytj87:
You do need a VPN when away from home. Data must be flowing from behind a TWC modem.

Can not change channels

APP works on my Android TV BOX, but can not change channels on LIVE TV. Tride to find CHANNEL LINE UP but can not get to it. Any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] Bigmoco:
Is it in portrait or landscape?
[Android Apps and Games] Ken.Tyminski:
Landscape mode???

Not sure what you mean, the app? The device?

I am running the app on a Android TV box connected to a 42" TV via an HDMI cable. The graphics look a little stretched. Do i need to force it into landscape mode? How would i do that?
[Android Apps and Games] Bigmoco:
I currently have the app running in portrait mode. I would be able to get to live tv in landscape but wouldn't be able to change the channel or make it go fullscreen. It works just find in portrait mode because when you click on the window where the video is playing it auto adjusts to landscape. Also for some reason portrait mode wouldn't work in 720p so if your TV doesn't support 1080p you may face some problems. I had to switch out TV's but then again I'm using a Fire Stick so that may not be a problem for you.

Still getting error message when trying to play at home only channels
[Android Apps and Games] mrdude2478:
It's already been said before a few posts back, less than 2 pages back infact.- Use a VPN set up from your house. It's patched like this so I can use an ethernet cable instead of wifi. If you want to mod this yourself - you only need to decompile and go to the file:

smali\com\twc\android\service\networkstatus\Location.smali

In that remove the single line of code 'const v0, 0x1' from the behind TV & in USA port of that function.

To be honest m8 - I'm just sharing this from a mod that I did for myself, feel free to mod how you like and repost for others that want your personal taste version.

[Android Apps and Games] Apo11on:
Can you post instructions how to decompile the app and how to compile it back? I think the goal of most people here it to be able to use the app away from home, on cellular connection, not ethernet and not WiFi. Your current mod doesnt do that, even with VPN. I tried connecting to VPN server, setup on my home's router using regular LTE connection from my cell, but even though the connection was going through my home's VPN, TWC app would still refuse to connect to anything but "home channels", because it detects the connection I'm using is LTE and not WiFi. Looking for a way to disable that check for connection type. Any advice how to decompile/recompile and what settings to change would be much appreciated.

[Android Apps and Games] juser69:
From my experience, the media players based on the amlogic S series cpu do not work well with the TWC app. So jittery that it is not watchable. Those based on the Rockchip do work well with it. I have bought two of those and they work well. Also, currently works well with the Firestick G2 dongle, as long as you also buy that $2 mouse control program "Remote for Firestick". Have to buy that through Amazon Store, which is a pain in the ass. The control that comes with the Firestick will not work with the TWC app. (you could use a bluetooth mouse, but never had much luck with BT devices staying connected...)

You can change channels while watching in live mode by dragging up from the bottom, then scrolling through the channel list.

Give this a shot...

While the app is closed, set your device to auto rotate, then rotate your device to landscape, then (while remaining in landscape) set your device from auto rotate to landscape, then try launching the app.

I can't guarantee that it will work but, worth a shot.

Hello and thank you very much for your hard work and for sharing. I know this have been discussed previously, but my scenario is a bit different. I am running your latest build on my firestick via WIFI and I do have TWC internet service and I do not have cable service. I am using my brother's account to login. Most channels display "we are unable to present channel at this time"

Earlier posts you mentioned that this error is due to ISP not being TWC, but in my case it is TWC. Do think my issue is because I'm on wifi? do I need to install it on a different android device with Ethernet connection?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Wouldn't it be easier to make an xposed module rather than to modify the apk after each update? There was an xposed module a few years back that was used to allow the app to work on rooted devices, bypass usb debug detection, and to attempt to bypass vpn check. That module was discontinued a few years ago but maybe some one could update it to have the current modifications done. I would attempted but I know pretty much nothing about how to do it.
