I see no issues with the xfinity app. You must remember to setup your box for proper streaming. I have a generic S912 box spoofing Sony Bravia TV. The app works just fine, in 1080.

does anyone have a xfinity apk that would work on my nvidia shield? Been searching for a while for one
[Android Apps and Games] BostonDan:
I have used one in this forum. But it requires a Bluetooth mouse at the minimum. I use both a bt keyboard and mouse.

I have non-issue with the xfinity version I have installed. If required, I can try to find which one I have later.

I use version 533005 on my 2017 Nvidia Shield with no problems using just the remote. It's linked earlier in this thread. You will also need to sideload a browser to login to your Xfinity account when first run. You can use the Nvidia Shield remote app to enter the information.

Anyone have any idea why the Android PX6 head unit gets the same error message when no HDMI is attached?
[Android Apps and Games] gk1984:
Yeah... Comcast has all kinda of blocks in the app. OP has only removed the HDMI restriction. But there's another I found regarding second screen. So if a device has a screen already attached, the app will still block content to the other screen. A couple of years ago, I tried to draw attention to this but it went unheard. I was hoping for a modded apk that worked on my phone via HDMI out so I could bring cable with me and connect to a tv wherever I went. Would have been awesome at work during lunch, for instance.

It is still working on my Shield, Occasionally it will pop up and tell you it is time to update the app, I just dismiss it and it works fine for now, However I do believe it wont be long before it will not work anymore, It is only a matter of time before they drop support for the older versions, This is why I am pleading with anyone out here that can give up an updated version or instructions on how to Mod the app.

This thread is 3 years old, I guess if anyone was going to help it would have happened already, So much for XDA, Getting someone to actually help you here is about as probable as winning the lottery !
[Android Apps and Games] shinobisoft:
To my knowledge, the only person that knows exactly how to do this is the OP. I do know that the mod revolves around HDMI checks at the very least.

Bear in mind, we ALL have lives outside of XDA. Sometimes it can take a while before you get the response or help you're looking for. It's been that way for the many years I've been a member.
[Android Apps and Games] ShonnyG112:
FYI if anybody is using this on an Nvidia Shield Tablet w/ HDMI out to their TV. You have to turn the tablet in console mode(not mirror) for the app to not prompt you with the error message.

Now the latest official app lets you Chromecast so that's a solution, install the app on your phone and cast it to a TV (works from desktop Chrome web browser too). A Chromecast device is very cheap if your TV or Android box doesn't support it natively.

[Android Apps and Games] /d3viant/:
We're going to have to mod it ourselves. I'm trying to, I did do the hdmi mod once before on V3 myself when I couldn't find a working apk back in the day, but I forget all the steps exactly. There was a tutorial on how to unzip the apk and use apktool and baksmali or something to get inside and see the good stuff, and add some much needed comments... But I forget where the tutorial is, I just googled and didn't see it.. I'm sure stuff has changed significantly, I'll bet they learned to use obfuscation by now. Hence, the forced update..

Can anybody point me in the right direction? I can probably figure it out.. I think what I'll do is try and diff the modded 5.33 and the original so I can figure out what the OP did, figure out the old mod, and then look for similar functionality in the new version. I'm totally willing to completely master Java and Kotlin to get this to work if I have to. They are not getting me to buy their box. No way. So what does anybody know about reverse engineering apks? Just gimme a link, please!
[Android Apps and Games] tonepinballwiz2:
I hope someone can figure out a way to mod this again. it worked fine for the past 2 years. But I get the same "app must be updated" prompt. Even though image was sometimes blurry, this has been the most reliable tv streaming app for me vs other tv streaming sources.

I found some old instructions about modding the apk in the firetv xfinity tv go thread(scroll down the page to bluekalel post) >> https://xdaforums.com/fire-tv/general/guide-comcast-xfinity-tv-app-ftv-t3358227/page14?nocache=1

Hopefully it will be helpful for you in your attempt to modding a new app. Maybe the OP/aiemassfiria will be back with help too...

update: well, it works again! My app seems to be working again 2 hrs later!....so if we receive the prompt to update to a later version, maybe we have to try again at a later time or reload the app. I'm on an older version 5.1.5.014.

Hopefully it was all a false alarm....
[Android Apps and Games] {ParanoiA}:
The xfinity tv apk has checks for firetv built into it. It checks the app store type or something like that. It's been a few months since I was playing around with it. That is the part that is patched out from the OP's modded apk and the official apk. It isn't obfuscated that I noticed from when I decompiled it but I just haven't had the time to play around with it too much more since a few months ago when I was trying to fix it. I kinda hit a roadblock when I was trying to debug the smali to see where it was performing the check in order to bypass it like the OP did. I'm not a programmer like that but know a little Java and from what I could figure out from youtube. This guy's videos were helpful. https://youtu.be/uc7eZGE07ps

Hello folks, just wanted to share with you that the XfinityStream v5.0.0.044 version does still work, and when I tried the newer modded file, it wasn't working, because it would update to the latest version. I uploaded the version that works, so enjoy.

So I've been doing some research and I want to tell everybody that I found out that the OP's modded xfinitystream v5.1.5.014 apk also DOES still work just fine on a FireTV 4K Pendant, as of 9/23/2020. For whatever reason, the 5.3 version I was using stopped working, guess it wasn't patched properly to prevent update checks? I'm still looking into learning and figuring out how to mod the newest version in the meantime, but you can find the working 5.1.5.014 right here:

I'm now actually using version 4.2.1.001. Not aiemassfiria. Version.. I've used APKTOOLS to decompile then I used WInMerge to compare the versions if you want. Change line 61 with what I posted previously, use APKTOOLS to recompile. Now use apk icon edit tool to open the original download apk version4.2.1.001 then copy the androidmanifest.xml from the build folder of your recompiled apk and past it in the newly opened apk. Now repack..

I'm using the latest release from Shaw. Download from pureapk. Version 4.2.1.001. I've added to the line 61 and included the following

line 61:

<activity android:label="" android:launchMode="singleTop" android:name="com.xfinity.cloudtvr.view.AndroidTvBrowseActivity" android:theme="@style/DefaultAppTheme.Xtv.Browse" android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"/>

The menu items on the top of the screen are still chopped but it manageable. Just to clarify this is working for the MI Box. The App will not launch if you are using the Sideload Launcher. You must launch from the Apps in Settings. .

1.) Download APK

2.) Decompile the APK

apktool d {download location} -o {output location}

3.) Goto {output location} open AndroidManifest.xml

4.) Add the below lines after line 61 (other apk may not be line 61)

Code:

<activity android:label="" android:launchMode="singleTop" android:name="com.xfinity.cloudtvr.view.AndroidTvBrowseActivity" android:theme="@style/DefaultAppTheme.Xtv.Browse" android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"/>
<activity android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize" android:label="" android:launchMode="singleTop" android:name="com.xfinity.cloudtvr.view.PlayerActivity" android:parentActivityName="com.xfinity.cloudtvr.view.AndroidTvBrowseActivity" android:theme="@style/DefaultAppTheme.Xtv.Browse.Player" android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan">
<meta-data android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY" android:value=".view.AndroidTvBrowseActivity"/>
</activity>

5.) Recompile the APK

apktool b {output location}

6.) open APK in APK Icon Editor

7.) In APK Icon Editor File -> Explore APK Contents

8.) copy {output location}/build/apk/AndroidManifest.xml to the Explore APK Contents - [replace file]

9.) In APK Icon Editor File -> Export (Pack) APK

10.) Sideload to you Mi Box
[Android Apps and Games] kc49111:
Great, that seems to work, although the menu is chopped as mentioned in other threads. 2 clarifications for 4)

- the code goes after 61 as mentioned, and just to be clear is an insert, not replacement for the followining <activity> lines

- somewhere the text has gotten reformatted in your example, adding spaces and cutting off android:parent. Here is a paste from the other thread (Comcast Xfiniti TV Go) that worked:

<activity android:label="" android:launchMode="singleTop" android:name="com.xfinity.cloudtvr.view.AndroidTvBrowseActivity" android:theme="@style/DefaultAppTheme.Xtv.Browse" android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"/>

<activity android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize" android:label="" android:launchMode="singleTop" android:name="com.xfinity.cloudtvr.view.PlayerActivity" android:parentActivityName="com.xfinity.cloudtvr.view.AndroidTvBrowseActivity" android:theme="@style/DefaultAppTheme.Xtv.Browse.Player" android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan">

Shaw Free Range v 4.2.1.001 on MI Box

Great that you got it working.. Your post of the code looks no different than what i posted? if you past it into notepad ++ its fine. It could be that the form is actually making it look funny? You noted that this wasn't a replacement for line 61. I replaced the entire line 61 with what i posted previously. it changes the fact that the app can now run on Android TV. but i suppose if you are using the app for multiple device other than Android tv, then yes use it as an insert along side to the existing code. then the app should work on both Android TV and non tv applications. :)

For reason, I will not post the app directly for download. If you're curious about this modification of the App, ( shaw freerange) I would simply follow the instruction to recreate what I've done. Its really simple. Again, my instruction are from another post I found within the form used for Xfinity app, replacing the line 61 in the Manifest.xml. This change allows the app to now run on MI BOX and From what I've been told Nvidia Shield running Android 6.0 and higher. I know this doesn't work for Android 4.4. Line 61 is for this Version of Shaw freerange 4.2.1.001. It may vary as version change and it may be different on the Xfinity app.

Also in here looking for an updated modded apk for android tv. I had just got comcast cable again and the modded stream app was giving me the freedom to use my xfinity subscription on my shield tv.

[Android Apps and Games] supak111:
im guessing decompiling one of the above moded apks, change the app version number to the newest version number and recompiling the apk would probably fix this... but that would also mean that it would have to be done every time a new version of xfin app comes out which is too much work. also illegal to distribute other peoples apps which you have modified...
[Android Apps and Games] AtoZ0to9:
Using LP, I found 3 functions that would indicate some type of check. I've tried disabling them individually and together. It will either crash the app or not work.

So, what's the next step? Decompile the . apk, and poke around?
[Android Apps and Games] Twotems:
Until the OP or someone else fixes this I've resorted to installing the standalone app for the channels I watch. CNN, MSNBC, ESPN, NBCSN, HBO etc. Not ideal but picture quality is far better and more stable. From outside the US a vpn and gps spoofing is needed for some of the apps.
