[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JOSHSKORN:
What's so "bad" about getting the dev edition? Does it not receive updates automatically like retail versions or what?

Correct me if I'm wrong in all of this, but I don't feel that I "need" to flash other ROMS on my phone, like CyanogenMod or whatever else is out there. I use to do it on my old DROID RAZR MAXX because it only had 1GB of RAM, which was the bottleneck of the phone. CyanogenMod worked much faster, at the expense of giving up certain features, mainly docking. On my Galaxy Note 4, the most amount of RAM I've used thus far is about 86%, possibly more, since I've seen my phone on rare occasion go slow or freeze. Currently, I think this problem COULD be fixed by making use of the thread [GUIDE] Disable Knox and the OTA without root, but for users with root, Titanium Backup may be a better solution, if you cannot install other ROMs, that is. So, to the best of my knowledge (which I'll admit, isn't much), we should be fine, for now....granted, my old phone was fine, up until about a year and a half after owning it, when more and more memory hogging apps came into play.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] dirtyjersey856:
Well I don't mind a nice TW rom, but running CM12 on my Note brings it to a another level of fast. No lag whatsoever like the random lag I experienced on even a custom TW ROM plus kernel. To each their own though.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JOSHSKORN:
I don't mind occasional lag at all, considering where I came from. On my old phone, it would almost take me 5-10 minutes to send one freakin' Facebook message, on the stock ROM. I really never used CyanogenMod because I'd always docked my phone in my car. When the lag gets unbearable on my Galaxy Note 4, I'll consider a FDR, and if that doesn't solve things, then I'll look into other options that are available when I need them, which I'm thinking sooner than later, we'll have root, thus other toys to play with, like Titanium Backup.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Marty_Since87:
I rather have a custom rom, than stock. I hate stock. I'm so use to installing custom roms but if I'm able to get this phone next month I'll deal with it until it's rooted.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Gareee:
I always had faith in the amazing people that have provided root for our phones till now. I haven't seen any movement at all of root on the Verizon note 4, and there are a few must have things I simply can't do without it. (ad blocking, and wireless ps4 game controller support, as examples.)

I'm pretty discouraged at the limited alternate development for the note 4 now, and with the new Samsung phones just being released, I'm sure attention will shift to them anyway now. I've been running cyanogen mod on my old galaxy s3 and nexus 7 tablet now for over a year, and I really hate not having the alternative features I have on those on my note 4.

I actually told Samsung so on the phone the other day, trying to find a workaround for ps4 dual shock support. If you bought a developer version with root, its possible but for commercial, yer just **** out of luck. You'd think Samsung and Verizon would want people to be able to use all the features the phone is capable of, and there is no advantage to either of them not making wireless controller support possible.

I also hate the wired microphone nag we get all the time about volume levels, and was so glad to remove that from my old galaxy S3.

Our note 4s have been a very mixed bag for us this go around. I love some of the things like the camera visual quality, and the spen, but other general use things I can't do just bug the crap out of me.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jpfulton248:
I think all of the action is on the ATT side. Most of the progress that has been made so far is relevant to both ATT and Verizon.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JOSHSKORN:
That is affirmative. There's a development thread out there that you can watch, don't have the link offhand. I'm reading it when there are updates. If you find the thread, don't post on it without PMing the OP to see if you have relevant information, first. The particular thread is very heavily moderated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Gareee:
At least that's a glimmer of light in a very long dark tunnel!

If u facing problem stuck at mi logo after installing xposed framework or after rebooting.

Don't worry I have a solution. Download philz touch recovery and paste in root of your SD card. Go to your cwm recovery nothing others and wipe data, cache, dalvic cache.

After reboot your system. Back in recovery and go to wipe section find there " format data and data/media" reboot u r system now. Install xposed and anything do you want. Happy flashing. Thank you.

I'm having a ball flashing my phone but everytime i reinstall SPB BE i have to "start over":rolleyes:

In Application Data\SpbBrainEvolution.

You can save the files contained in this folder in order to restore the game status after a ROM flash.

[Android General] ViRb3:
Good evening!

If you're reading this, then you for sure know what Spotify is. We all love listening to music and, ugh, that's the synonym of Spotify!

Unfortunately, this work could be used for two fully opposite reasons, one of which is against the XDA rules, so I had no other choice but to close this thread (and remove links). I hope you understand me and sorry for the inconvenience.

Feel free to read the history below. It was a fun ride!

Time ago, the app landed on our lovely Android platform for both tablets and phones and honestly who wasn't excited?

Soon after, forced shuffle mode and limited number of skips were also introduced and I agree that there must be a reason to purchase Premium after all. Luckily, this restriction was not enabled on tablets, but a problem that appears is that far from all tablets are detected as ones - mainly the "smaller" ones. This [bug/miss-code] activates the restriction on your tablet, and as a fix was needed from either side, here was my solution.

This mod was created for all those "small tablets" that are incorrectly recognized so that you can use Spotify the way it was meant to be used.

Credits:

APK Multi Tool - everything was processed through this amazing software.

APKTool - the core of the above tool and pretty much everything hacky-related.
[Android General] ViRb3:
Thanks for finding use of this mod! See you in my next thread! :)

[Android General] diablos222:
What!? I didnt know thats even possible! Spotify app for android got 100000x more useful for me. I can finally skip forever and even fast forward the music. Its sooo much better. You deserve a medal and million likes. :laugh:
[Android General] kunlegzy:
Op pls can you upload this mode in a diff site cos mega is down. And secondly can you help me with little explanation as to how to install this or all I need is to just install the apk after the download. I haven't installed spotify b4 that's why . Thanks for the response in advance
[Android General] ViRb3:
MEGA is never down, it only needs the app for android if you want to download from phone. That's the reason I personally won't mirror.

About installing, you need to have "Unknown sources" enabled in your Security settings. Then just open the APK and install it as normal. If you still can't figure it out check YouTube for thousands of tutorials.
[Android General] nikhil.warlock:
Server is down

I've downloaded the apk for mega, and also tried to access the website. But it refuses to open the website or allow me to login to the app. Hence the servers are actually down. Op if possible can u post it on a different cloud?. Thank you for this amazingly brilliant apk!:)
[Android General] kunlegzy:
Op u can as well check again, it's no longer a news that mega is down for now. You see people testifying. You can check up urself

[MENTION=6004845]ViRb3[/MENTION] It doesn't work on gingerbread android again...

I think it's a problem of apk version because on Google play it was written that the version varies with device.

So please If you give me your email, I'll send the last apk version of spotify compatible with gingerbread to you.
[Android General] ViRb3:
I'm uploading my photos there right now ;)

I'll investigate further when I get home and I'll PM you.
[Android General] nikhil.warlock:
OP I could possibly kiss you all day and it wouldn't be enough. Worked like a charm.

Also the server seemed to be down only in parts around the world. So anyone being unable to connect simply use a VPN. Works perfectly with a VPN.

Though it is currently up again.
[Android General] kunlegzy:
Op finally I got it downloaded. Thanks so much but I have a question. Is it possible for me to download for offline for free with this mod?
[Android General] ViRb3:
Absolutely not. I am not "hacking" Spotify and making it Premium-free and that will never be my aim. I am just making it possible to run in tablet mode on smaller tables.
[Android General] PainfulLover:
Works like a charm, thank you❕

Logged-in with facebook, why does the op state it's not working❓

I've tried the original Spotify v2.4.0.815 from the Play Store and also the modded version by Shark147 and I have no disappearing skip button. I'm assuming the problem is device specific and caused by the original app, not by Shark147's modification.

Tested on a Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo.

Fix for app will not install

I was having an issue upgrading from version 2.2 to 2.5. I was getting this in adb:

W/PackageManager( 2240): Package com.spotify.music signatures do not match the previously installed version; ignoring!

The way I fixed it was to re-install the last working version (2.2 for me), long press on the app to select app info, clear data, then uninstall. I then installed the new version and all of the old information causing the problem was gone.

Thanks for the hard work making these versions.
[Android General] soprgal:
First of all thanks about this app works great! I have a little problem with the app, when I using it more then 20 minutes I get a notification that say "Spotify using a lot of battery" . Someone know how to fix it?

[Android General] doctoralex:
First, it is logical. A music player that is connected all the time to mobile network is eating the battery for breakfast. It has nothing to do with if this app is modded. Second your notification is from your ROM. You got to live with that or do what it said.

Is this any different than TabletMetrics that has been around for a year and a half (http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/27-tabletmetrics-report-screen-7-v2-2-t2596603) ?
[Android General] Potato_of_Doom:
It is only for this one specific case so it's only as resource intensive as necessary and it should also work on OEM firmwares which are not supported by tabletmetrics
[Android General] shuli81:
Thanks so much! Works great for me on android 5.1.

I will be switching to this from TabletMetrics since I anyway only use it for Spotify and unlike TabletMetrics it doesn't make it look ugly.

Please make a thread for it.
[Android General] FuMMoD:
Works on 5.1 alpha release?
[Android General] ih8legal:
You can turn it on and off and the UI changes revert but Spotify still thinks it's a tablet.
[Android General] shuli81:
Correct
[Android General] htmltag:
Thanks [MENTION=6444665]Potato_of_Doom[/MENTION], it works great on the Note 4, (Stock TMO 4.4.4) where Tablet Metrics v2.2.1 doesn't.

Spotify 2.5.0.942 works great.

You need a dedicated thread for this.
[Android General] explorer-10:
But I thought xposed for 5.1 was super alpha and in a really buggy condition...

It is buggy. In my experience most bugs are modules that don't work. Some modules work without any issues

It didn't work for me. It says application not installed when I open the apk. Anyone else have this problem?

No, you will stil get ads like every x minutes or after every x songs.

Apparently its just a random bug that happens to some people, easy way to get around it is by pressing listen offline and before the pop up comes up saying you have to pay for premium, hit the home button. Then force close the app and start it back up, all is good again. (:

Hey just wanted to say that this apk works great for my phone. However, the fire tv is seen as a phone from spotify so when I try to adb this app to my fire tv it fails. I get "Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]" I've tried 2 different ways to adb/install it and I get the same error. Is there anyway this could be fixed in the next update? Thanks for a great app. Can't understand why the Fire TV would be seen as a mobile.

EDIT: I had trouble with the apk I downloaded in the first post. I downloaded the one a few posts back and it plays perfect on my Fire TV! I hope the author keeps this app updated. It's very good!
[Android General] lrobberl:
How do you do it? I have it but I still get ads...
[Android General] DragonXD:

[Android General] Krishna Eyunni:
Are kidding me ..!!?? I also use adaway but don't even get a single ad make sure to update your host files..!! And try again?
[Android General] DragonXD:
I'm not kidding. I downloaded host files. Reboot the phone. I'm in France and have norauto ads. I have just the ads. The mod works well
[Android General] ibrubeer:
I'm not sure what's the problem. You are rooted, right? I don't have a single ad using AdAway. I have AdAway update automatically everyday.
[Android General] Krishna Eyunni:
Strange ...!!

Follow these steps you might be doing something wrong ...!!

1. Download adaway apk ( latest one )

2. Download the host files let them download completely until you get popup that host files are update

3. Make sure you hit the refresh button at the top then you will see that adaway is enabled

Now reboot then it should work perfectly ....??

Your screen in AdAway should look like this...

Seems to be working. Thanks guys!

I pay for a regular Spotify membership, but too broke to pay for a Premium :D
[Android General] DragonXD:
i don' know why i continue to have ads. the mod with unlimited skip work so few ads will be acceptable for me. anyway thanks for the mod ;)
[Android General] ibrubeer:
Only other thing I can think for you to try is the help screen within AdAway? I'm sure you have already looked in there, but if not, there are some good hints and info there. Open up AdAway, tap the question mark at the top, and check the problems tab (and possibly the S-on/S-off tab). Hopefully that will either tell you why it isn't working, or how to fix it. I only have version 2.9.2 now, but will look for version 3. Good luck!
[Android General] exSD:
Adaway will not work if your phone does not have /system write. It will reboot and nothing will be replaced. Root is not enough.
[Android General] shuli81:
Check that you also have a working busybox installation. Adaway needs busybox to work properly.

Maybe it works just be easier/simpler/quicker if you tell us what you are working with, DragonXD. What phone? Android version?

Silly question, but is there a quick & easy way to tell if a phone has system write capability?

swyped on my GS5
[Android General] exSD:
Use a root explorer (es file explorer or Root Explorer) and go into /system and create a file. Reboot your phone. If the file is there you can write permissions. Make sure you turn on root read/write options in ES File Explorer.
[Android General] DragonXD:
I have a Xperia S with a stock Android 4.1 rooted . Bootloader is not unlocked. Busybox is installed.
[Android General] Krishna Eyunni:
ok. soo whatever rom you use stock or aosp it should work fine idk what might be the problem
[Android General] ibrubeer:
I would maybe try the suggestion in the previous post to see if your system is writable? Maybe someone with your phone had done insight too.

swyped on my GS5
[Android General] DragonXD:
my system is writable because i open the host file with fx explorer and i have a big list created by adaway.
[Android General] lrobberl:
Guys I just don't understand if you're talking about audio ads, the one you listen to after few songs have been played, or if you refer to banners which may be present in the app! I've always had Adaway and I don't know if there are such things as banners so I'm wondering if we're talking about the same kind of ads! :D

If Adaway removes all the ads within the songs, then it's not working with me and you have to tell me also the repositories to put in Adaway to make it work better! I always have it updated...
