Some of us don't rely on Xposed because we use a custom ROM that already has what we need. Xposed is interesting, but a bit buggy on some plugins, and it's safety concerns me. On iOS cydia made the bridge between moded system adons, it checked for the code and what was on cydya repo was trustfull. Xposed moded some art lybs, and lacks that layer of security cydia has on iOS. Roms may have buggy or harmful code to. But if you trust a ROM developer you trust him alone. On xposed you trust every developer that codes on it. Personally I like your app as an apk. If I have to rely on xposed to use Spotify on tablet mode I will let it go. Eitherway, thanks for your work which is amazing.
[Android General] ViRb3:
First of all thanks for all of your votes and replies, they were really helpful.

I came to this decision and I believe it will satisfy everyone:

1. I'll continue to update the Spotify apks for now, starting from tomorrow. Sorry for the delay especially about this update, I've got some busy school pulling me around.

2. Whenever I get enough free time I'll create the XPosed module.

3. I'll hopefully not stop updating the Spotify apks but I'll probably do that a bit more rarely than you would hope to.

4. Modding tutorial kept in mind.
[Android General] ViRb3:
Probably, but not yet. I've got a lot of work to do this and the following week so I cannot do any time consuming activities.

Tomorrow I promise :)

Is there a way to block ads because on iphone there is a way.
[Android General] unkn0_0wn:
This spotify mod with (MoaAB) Mother of All AD-BLOCKING together may have made spotify ad free? I don't remember any ad being played during hours long spotify session in my phone. You could try too.
[Android General] Lilrican:
How can I install this? New to droid and my tab 4 is rooted.
[Android General] Hirishiolo:
I use AdAway, similar to MoaAB (it modifies the hosts file), and now that you can make me think about that... I have never heard any ad too!
[Android General] unkn0_0wn:
Head over to the (MoaAB) Mother of All AD-BLOCKING thread and follow the instructions.

Or, you can try AdAway as [MENTION=4678784]Hirishiolo[/MENTION] said? Give it a try.

In my Galaxy S4 with KitKat I use Mute That Ad! for KitKat v1.0

http://getandroidapp.org/applications/music-audio/56586-mute-that-ad-for-kitkat-1-0.html

and with Spotify v1.9 works fine, it was free on play store but they remove it.

I'm in waitnig of Spotify Tablet mode v2.2 to test it, because Xposed TabletMetrics v2.2 no more work on Spotify v2.x
[Android General] ViRb3:
Spotify updated.

However, I want to inform you that due to unexpected circumstances this might end up being the last Spotify apk mod update for a long time.

XPosed module is still going to come in the near future.
[Android General] fergdizzle9090:
so is it still working since spotify updated? an xposed module would be awesome now that its on lolli

EDIT: yeah it doesnt work. cant log in by typing it out, forces you to use the fb log in button and then doesnt work

[Android General] cioce:
Thanks for the update, Mute That Ad! for KitKat it still works well and I have manually logged on facebook with my ID and with a new generated password received via email, for those who do not could have login in FB, open the website of spotify, click on LOG with facebook and find your ID associated to FB. :)

Do you know any alternative for TabletMetrics that works?
[Android General] fergdizzle9090:
were you logged in before? and are you using facebook? my spotify is through fb and it doesnt let you type in your credentials anymore, it says use the fb button. then the button doesnt work like stated in the main post. oh well
[Android General] gunde2014:
I was logged in before using my Facebook credentials typed manually I'll be sure not to logout.

I don't think putting this on Xposed is a good idea as we know what happened with Pandora patcher it was pulled off and it's only a matter of time the mods come in and close this thread. :cool:
[Android General] tocy777:
FYI, when the advertisment is playing and you click on a song you just searched for, the ad stops and starts playing the music. Maybe you could look into that why is it doing it ;) :) (It is a good thing)

I deleted the Facebook app and it finally allowed me to manually enter my credentials.
[Android General] fergdizzle9090:
interesting im going to try this. did you re-dl FB after that and it still work?

edit:

HERO!!!

i deleted fb and messenger, then clicked the log in button and typed in my fb info there and it said something like 'you have already verified spotify with facebook' then its just worked perfect!

download AdAway and there wont be any ads!
[Android General] tocy777:
My phone is not rooted and I'm not planning to do so ;)
[Android General] gunde2014:
You don't have to uninstall your Facebook if you're trying to login via Facebook on Spotify just log out. Then you can manually login with your Facebook credentials on Spotify.

[Android General] Veselin93:
I was wondering if the developer of this great app can make the app think our user id is a premium one, or any other way that allow us to use the download offline function. It will be AWESOME!!
[Android General] jwhyte:
I'll answer you before the war starts. The op updates this app so that the small tablets which may be incorrectly recognized by Spotify get to use the tablet app. Modifying an apk to give you a benefit that you didn't pay for is theft and considered 'warez' by XDA and would be banned.
[Android General] garbb:
I had this same problem on my galaxy nexus running cm 10.1.3 (android 4.2.2). I tried to install it with adb and got an error [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]. I found this page googling this error. Maybe this is the problem?

Anyhow I deleted the META-INF folder inside the apk and resigned the apk using some testsign.jar that I had lying around and now it works for me.

Here it is: https://mega.co.nz/#!aR0QHCAZ!fqqWbt4-emEWYTYI6Q0W1p1dLHxPexDTowpUOtMIkrc

See if it works for you if you were having the "app not installed" error.

I don't really understand why there is a problem but I guess that some phones don't like the signature for some reason?

Will this work on nexus 6? I can get it to work on my nexus 10 but no luck on my nexus 6.
[Android General] unkn0_0wn:
Sent from my SM-G7102

Well, If your device is capable of running original Spotify, which I'm sure it is, then you must be able get it working on your nexus 6. Just remove the installed Spotify and install the mod Spotify, login with your Spotify credentials (not with Facebook) and you are good to go. And, Don't forget to thank the developer for the mod.

If it doesn't work, could you please be specific with the errors you get?
[Android General] joshhayden10:
I'm not getting any errors it just won't allow me to play without shuffle play. On my tablet it allows me to play without shuffle play.
[Android General] ViRb3:
It works the same way on all devices, so there's no reason for it to not work on your N6. Make sure you are uninstalling the old version before installing this mod.
[Android General] joshhayden10:
Yeah I uninstalled all old ones and installed this one and it's basically working the same way it works if I install it out the play store.
[Android General] joshhayden10:
I think the problem is its not coming up as tablet on my phone. When I look at my N6 and N10 the app looks different. I uninstalled the old ones and also cleared all that data and cache and still no luck.
[Android General] Razorback55:
- Saw your thread

- Downloaded app

- deleted old app+databases +cache

- uninstalled Spoti****

- installed your app

- Works amazing

Like so hard
[Android General] joshhayden10:
Got it to work you guys sorry to bug you. The only thing I couldn't do was log in with Facebook but that's okay cause I logged in without Fb.
[Android General] m.dlc:
I'm on a Nexus 5 and the mod does not work for me. I've never had Spotify installed on my phone, same goes for Facebook. When this thread was first started I downloaded the 'initial' mod apk, installed it and logged in with Facebook, but only shuffle mode appeared. I've tried it again a few times after that with newer versions but again, no success.

What I have tried:

Installing the APK and logging in using Facebook (initial try)

The same APK, now logging in using a Spotify account.

Installing the official Spotify app, uninstall it, install the mod > log in (first Facebook, then Spotify account)

Installing Facebook, log in using the mod apk (failed for certificate reasons) > uninstalling Facebook and trying to login again

Installing the app with landscape layout, opening and logging in in landscape

Clearing data, uninstall mod, install mod, login using Facebook (and again, but this time by logging in using a Spotify account).

As you can see, I've tried quite a lot but all without success. I'm on a stock rom Lollipop Nexus 5, phone has never been altered with in any way. I'm always able to use the mod app, but just not in tablet mode (only shuffle option). Any guess what it could be?
[Android General] garbb:
I don't know for sure what your problem is as I have not had any similar problems but two things occurred to me as I read your post.

1. Just because you see the green "Shuffle" button does not mean tablet mode is not working. If you touch on one particular song below either one of two things will happen: It will play that song which means that tablet mode is working OR it will not play the song and the shuffle button will "wiggle" indicating that you cannot play a specific song but are only allowed to shuffle which means that it is not working. Sorry if this is obvious and you already tried this but I though I would mention it in case you were making a silly mistake...

2. Maybe completely uninstall the spotify and facebook apps and then reinstall spotify and make a new spotify account just as a test? In case for some reason the size of your device is linked to the account. (Even though I know you said you never installed spotify on your phone before)
[Android General] m.dlc:
On my first try, I tried playing individual songs (which wasn't possible for some reason) and because of that I assumed (1) was not applicable to me. On further tries, I was just waiting to see some kind of tablet layout and/or a 'play' instead of 'shuffle' button. Apparently both do not appear for this mod, so I was looking for the wrong thing. Anyways, it's working now!!

So thank you for the heads up, and thank the developer for this Mod.

https://mega.co.nz/#!UBYUUaba!pPth4m3H5s4SGFdNdZFeyFMMOigpVJAWJkhs9JHlx30

All credit to ViRb3. I am just applying the same patch he did to the new apk.
[Android General] urim225:
Can you or someone else please make a short tutorial on how to apply that patch ? I really want to do this myself please
[Android General] garbb:
Well I will post a quick tut:

Look up how to decompile and compile apk files with apktool. This is useful for more than just this.

NOTE: before this stuff will work I think that you may have to install java

Download apktool

For these instructions I will assume that the spotify apk you are modifying is called "com.spotify.music.apk"

Decompile the spotify .apk with command "apktool.bat d com.spotify.music.apk"

You will get a folder with the same name as the apk with a bunch of files in it

Use some program (i used notepad++) to search all the files inside the "smali" folder in this folder for "const v1, 0x7f090007"

You should (hopefully) find some code that looks like this:

.method public static c(Landroid/content/Context;)Z
.locals 2
.parameter

.prologue
.line 72
invoke-virtual {p0}, Landroid/content/Context;->getResources()Landroid/content/res/Resources;

move-result-object v0

const v1, 0x7f090007

invoke-virtual {v0, v1}, Landroid/content/res/Resources;->getBoolean(I)Z

move-result v0

return v0
.end method

Change it so that it looks like this:

.method public static c(Landroid/content/Context;)Z
.locals 1
.parameter

.prologue
const/4 v0, 0x1

return v0
.end method

Save the file

Recompile the apk with command "apktool b com.spotify.music"

Look in the "com.spotify.music" folder inside the "dist" folder and you will see the compiled apk

Now you will need to sign the apk or you will get an error when installing. (There are probably many ways to do this but I am just going to tell you how I have been doing it because I don't remember how I figured this out.)

Download this testsign thing: https://mega.co.nz/#!tcJDlLpZ!n9nWfhpok2LT2i-ObB-mAlK3XG5yKEXdN4q9Iz_-2i0

Extract to some folder

drag the .apk you made onto testsign.bat

If everything worked ok you should now have a modified spotify apk that you can install.

I believe that what this is doing is replacing some function that is asking android if your device is a tablet with some code that just always returns true.
[Android General] Nalin12:
Any news on the xposed module, i would like to have a working xposed module for this mod as tablet metrics is no more working these days.
[Android General] jwhyte:
Tablet metrics worked fine for me. Nexus 5 running cataclysm 5.0.1 with v3 of tm. I run 340 DPI (stock is 480) so I don't know if that plays a factor. Once I set up xposed tm and DPI then log into Spotify it works fine. It even carries through with different ROM flashes wiping data cache dalvik and system.
[Android General] Nalin12:
But i am not running lollipop atm as v3 is for 5.0 and above only. I am running color os which is a kitkat based rom and v2.2 is not working on that. Earlier it used to work fine but not anymore so that's why i said for the xposed mod.

But not this time. The tablet is totally bricked. It doesn't charge, I can't put it to download mode, nothing it is literally bricked. It must be software related. What shall I do now ?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CROSP:
I wonder if it is possible to detect if Android has recognized touchscreen on low level. I mean is there any way to log or get logs from parts of a phone.

Touchscreen has it own chip used for converting analog signals into digital values, so I guess that it is recognized by android system(kernel) at boot time. So maybe there is any way to log all this info.

I have tried to list devices (adb devices ) on boot but there are not any device, I guess, cause usb debugging is not enabled( I have no ability to do this - screen is not responsible).

I would be very grateful for any help.
