I started to test my skills in getting stuff from Z2 to the Z1.

First and the easiest thing was to pull the bootanimation from Z2 firmware and make a flashable zip of it.

Enjoy!

It wouldn't be possible if doomlord wouldn't leak a Z2 system. :)

I'll post screens later.

Sorry for not posting the zip right away. I got a bit messed up as I tried to upload the zip using Z1 and chrome, which obviously failed. In the end the thread got accidentally posted without the attachment. Uploading now.

Screens

Preview (I really fail at creating GIF's - real bootanimation is way longer,speed is different and xperia logo doesn't disappear so fast :D)

Xda attachments are crappy. Any ideas of other hostings that are big and I can track the download count?

I chose mediafire - provides download count and you can download without hassle, enjoy!

The one he did wasn't 100% pure stock Z2 bootanimation. This one is with sound, but sound may need enabling in build.prop. We'll see by the (hopefully) feedbacks.

It'll be uploaded in ~20 minutes. My internet isn't being nice for me now.

Hey,

I've just tried to flash the zip via Philz-Recovery, but unfortunately it failed. I'm on iHackers ROM v.3.0...
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] olokos:
Oh Jesus... I'll check it out and I'll fix it. It should be working again in about 10 hours (I'm going to school now). I'll post a new post (lol) when it's fixed.

Sorry for the hassle.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
That's a tough one. It's one of those situations that happens often enough, however, since not many people know how to fix something like this, most people don't even bother and just send it in to LG or write it off as a loss. The EASIEST way would be to find a shop with a RIFF box that can perform a JTAG service on that. But finding a shop that has the tool and knows how to use it (especially for your model) might be tricky depending on where you are. If you are wanting to try it yourself, you might try this thread as a reference point to maybe at least get you pointed in the right direction:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/71825-hard-brick-to-hell-and-back-guide-to-recovery/

Obviously it is not for your phone, and the OP specifically says he does not know how to perform this on other phones, but it is the most detailed thread about it I could find. It should at least give the ideas to what kinds of files you need to find to get started. Good luck!

Spent last two days trying to edit .smali files in Spotify to force it to tablet mode without any luck. I know there's Xposed module for this but I'd like to achieve the same by edit .smali files, this way no root required and ART compatible, i know many user will appreciate this.

findings so far ( thanks to Xposed module creator [MENTION=2339345]JsChiSurf[/MENTION] too ):

functions it uses to achieve this are located in

com\spotify\mobile\android\util\ab.smali

, just did a whole decompiled apk search with jd-gui for "getDisplayMetrics" and this is the only place it access height/width

this is how it looks:

public static ac h()
{
return new ac(Build.MODEL, Build.MODEL, Build.BRAND, Build.MANUFACTURER);
}

public final double b()
{
DisplayMetrics localDisplayMetrics = this.a.getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
return Math.sqrt(Math.pow(localDisplayMetrics.widthPixels / localDisplayMetrics.xdpi, 2.0D) + Math.pow(localDisplayMetrics.heightPixels / localDisplayMetrics.ydpi, 2.0D));
}

public final String g()
{
return ((TelephonyManager)this.a.getSystemService("phone")).getDeviceId();
}

now dalvik opcodes:

# virtual methods
.method public final b()D
.locals 7

.prologue
const-wide/high16 v5, 0x4000

.line 44
iget-object v0, p0, Lcom/spotify/mobile/android/util/ab;->a:Landroid/content/Context;

what I've tried so far:

everytime im installing modded apk in bluestacks, nothing changed i can only play shuffle mode aka mobile mode.

my environment:

Bluestacks to test app -> I set its screen size to 100*100 this way spotify starts in mobile phone mode and i can test

Virtuous Ten Studio to edit spotify apk -> when creating new project

DESELECT

disassemble resources otherwise when compiling it will fail

to set bluestacks screen size to trigger mobile mode : StacksTweak

Can anyone more experienced contribute/help me? This way user that dont want roor/use ART can use spotify forced in tablet mode :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steebro:
no one? :(

edit: search in com\spotify\mobile\android for keywords like "screen_size" and "layout_as_tablet" some lines above ther's the call to phytagoras function i described before. File im talking about is MainActivity.smali in com\spotify\mobile\android\ui\activityl folder. Event forcing the check to return true aka im in tablet mode doesnt work

Can some dev explain this? :)

What the diffrence between the tablet and phone gui of spotify if you guys don't mind me asking..?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steebro:
I found where it calculates Pythagoras to grab screen diagonal and tried to patch apk then rebuilt it. BTW it doesn't seem to affect apk when executed, so maybe im rebuilding/patching in the wrong way, that's why I posted. Maybe some dev can explain why it doesn't work when executed.

I think it's the right place to patch since it's clearly calculating screen diagonal

With tablet mode you can select which song you want to play, with phone mode only shuffle is enabled, both gui are the same
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fudduf:
I would LOVE a working forced-tablet apk! I have a 9.7" no-name tablet which only runs Spotify in mobile mode. I cannot use the Xposed module because it has not been backported to Gingerbread (Xposed - yes, the module - no).

Spotify never responded to my support ticket, so I would have no guilt using a tweaked app to force tablet mode on my....tablet!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steebro:
that's why i'd like to patch apk, Xposed is a general way, not specific to Spotify and it requires root, many users dont want it. I think patching apk is the best solution for this problem, as i stated before, i found where patch it's needed, now some devs should help us, but i think they're too busy as none of them replied, maybe just a tip to point me in the right direction and patch it...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newbit:
Hey steebro,

I like your thinking! But I quess you are digging on the wrong place.

The code your working on, looks more like the actual math itself. What you

need to find or rather to mod is the real IF function that asks:

"!! pseudo code !!"

If this device is a phone

set play mode

else

set shuffle mode

Maybe it is vice versa:

set play mode

If this device is not a tablet

set shuffle mode

They could be a lot of options how they wrote this procedure to get this information and set the mode.

First you need to find this point where the code decided which mode will be activated.

Which functions are calling the public final double b() ?

Than! You can "just" set the "set shuffle mode" in comments or replace it with the "set play mode" and the job

is done! And it doesnt matter what device you have!

I appreaciate your work because I think the same way. If you need a beta tester, don't hesitate

to contact me. I can also take a look in the code to identify the procedure we need to find!?

Cheers

NewBit

Forcing tablet mode!

I'm also looking for this to work. I've found that the function shuffle takes a boolean which I assume that this will tell the app to work in tablet/phone mode after calculating the metrics. So I tried to set that boolean to be false (or true) from the beginning. But when I modify anything the app want open or crash immediately after openning. So I think you guys should look there for a fix as I lack the skills to modify an app ;)

Good luck!

I have absolutely no idea why you would have problems installing the APK, my guess is that the software used for recompiling the package file targets a higher Android version and the output is FOR SOME REASON unreadable on older devices (I've had such problems with some of my friends' devices and various APKs).

I will try to get it recompiled in a few other ways and post here after a while for testing.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoot1:
How can Spotify block it?..it is not a hack on their servers ...the only way to block it is to change the code and publish an update while disabling all the previous versions. This is highly unlikely as they have already done it once after the database leak and will bring a lot of negative publicity.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaspreet997:
To think it that way it is unlikely, since they have already done that once .
