Many times my Spotify log out automatically since I am using it from India. I have to connect to VPN to login which is pain in ass. Is there anyway such country check can be disabled.?

[Android Apps and Games] Siderk21:
Great work as always. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] guitar1238751:
Glad to help :p
[Android Apps and Games] guitar1238751:
Hmmm I don't think I can do much about that. It seems to be a server side restriction on Spotify's end. Your best bet would be to keep posting on Spotify's forums and hopefully they'll expand to more regions soon. However, I'll still look into it and see if I can do anything about it.
[Android Apps and Games] guitar1238751:
LOLOL! There's always that one person on every thread. ?

I can assure you that there are no viruses or any secret agents from the moon spying on you. But if you think there are, quickly cover up your phone camera (so they don't see you) and quickly blast music via Spotify (so they don't hear you either)

But seriously, if you haven't done any research whatsoever on basic Android operations, then you shouldn't be on a thread like xda downloading and attempting to install a file that you have no idea what it is. I recommend that you play it safe and keep the "allow app installation from unknown sources" toggle off in settings. Only install apps from developers you trust on the Play Store.
[Android Apps and Games] Siderk21:
Lmaooo. Same reaction I had when I saw that post the first time.
[Android Apps and Games] Batteryman1:
Hahaha perfect response. I don't know why these people just don't read and figure these things out for themselves. I see this all the time in the nova community. People just going and saying whatever without actually knowing anything they are talking about
[Android Apps and Games] guitar1238751:
Lol part of the problem seems to be that they are reading and watching all the wrong things. That person seems to be convinced that Russian, Chinese, Indian & Pakistani hackers are targeting them. And with all the media's recent infactuation with Russian hacking this and that, blah, blah, blah, I'm not surprised that so many people are overly paranoid.
[Android Apps and Games] Batteryman1:
Yeah it's so sad to hear that today's generation is so easily swayed and influenced by propaganda and media. People really need to think and research for themselves
[Android Apps and Games] guitar1238751:
Recently saw a similar post in the Pure Nexus forum where a user was convinced Beans had snuck in viruses into PN. Also seen posts like this in the DU community . It really does annoy me when misinformation is spread around a developer's work. All that causes is mass panic and confusion. Soon people start asking for refunds and then start telling other users to do the same or boycott the app. I've seen a couple of devs shut down their communities all together just because of users continuously spreading false information and causing problems.
[Android Apps and Games] Batteryman1:
Yup I'm also in both those communities. It really does suck for everyone when these people just barge into forums solely to cause problems.
[Android Apps and Games] guitar1238751:
It's not that everyone is always intentionally trying to hurt the dev or community. A lot of times it really is just newbies trying to figure things out. However, it would certainly resolve a lot of headache if people actually read and did their research before spontaneously posting. Well I guess we can dream lol. Newbies will always continue posting without reading but hopefully they'll learn after a fee tries. I remember my days as a newbie when I would just quickly post the first question I had on mind before reading anything at all lol.
[Android Apps and Games] Batteryman1:
Haha yea same here man. We all had to start somewhere. Luckily we've moved on and now it's our turn to guide newbies along
[Android Apps and Games] guitar1238751:
Yup. I come across users all the time who have no idea what's going on. But that certainly is one of the fun parts of the job. It certainly is exciting walking people through something that may seem super easy to us experienced Android fanboys, but super complicated to the average user. I always do have a little too much fun showing off new features and projects at work lol.
[Android Apps and Games] Berniesanders2020:
Lololololol "I can assure you that there are no viruses or any secret agents from the moon spying on you. But if you think there are, quickly cover up your phone camera (so they don't see you) and quickly blast music via Spotify (so they don't hear you either)" This part really had me laughing. ??
[Android Apps and Games] guitar1238751:
Note*

For anyone curious as to how ads are removed and also want to look through all commits, I will be posting detailed documentation soon. I meant to do it sooner, but I was busy and lazy lol. I don't have much time to be continuing side projects like this anymore so hopefully you guys will be able to look at the code and easily implement everything here yourself. Also the next build will be my last build. I'll still be around to walk people through git and any other questions you may have. I hope this little project has helped all of you and hopefully you guys will be spouting out your own builds soon.
[Android Apps and Games] Bostros:
It work thks
[Android Apps and Games] Andres Videla:
thanks man!
[Android Apps and Games] iggyter:
I've tried a few different spotify mods, some others on xda too but this one is still my favorite with lots of updates. Thanks for your hard work.
[Android Apps and Games] Oldfarter:
Great. Thanks a lot. Working great
[Android Apps and Games] Portmaster:
Thanks it'd be cool if you can get it working in unsupported countries without vpn.
[Android Apps and Games] Siderk21:
Thanks for everything man. Definitely sucks that you're discontinuing builds but I understand. Hopefully someone else picks up the project after your gone. Thanks again. Your builds are always great. On a side note, Are you ever coming back to the jailbreak community? I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say your tweaks were awesome and we miss them
[Android Apps and Games] Onichiba:
Hey, I'm wondering about your LOS rom for the tab 4? I've noticed the development thread has been dead for a while? Any progress? I know this is the wrong thread but the other thread seems really empty.
[Android Apps and Games] mangeshsingh:
its says 7 days trial ....will it work after 7 days??
[Android Apps and Games] Earlwagner:
Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Strangesmell:
Thank you

Well done! Thank you! I joined the xda forum today in order to click the thank you button but not sure if the thumbs up is how you go about it? Btw it works great the only problem I noticed was when setting up spotify login it had two layers of text over the request fields making it hard to read. Know support for this app is discontinued but wanted to point that out for anybody looking to continue tweaking this app in the future. Installed on lg ms330 non rooted (for now.)
[Android Apps and Games] xxqxpxx:
Can anyone please give me the link to the version of Spotify which supports downloading of songs or listening to them offline
[Android Apps and Games] s43Ocan:
I'm getting ads with the lastest test version
[Android Apps and Games] Siderk21:
What are you talking about? No one else has seen that. Can you post a screenshot?

---------- Post added at 12:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 AM ----------

Yeah, thumbs up is thanks. I haven't seen that on my phone. Can you also post a screenshot?

---------- Post added at 12:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 AM ----------

Doesn't exist. Read the op. He clearly said that can't ever be done. Go premium if you really want that

---------- Post added at 12:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 AM ----------

. Yea just tried , it and I'm getting ads too. He said on Pushbullet there will be more builds soon so hopefully it'll be fixed soon. He's uploading them on telegram too but i don't have that app so I can't say. I just installed from afh
[Android Apps and Games] Strangesmell:
Screenshot

So... I am not allowed to take screen shots of login info for some reason. Possibly a security function. I uninstalled and started from scratch the first screen was name and password totaly readable. After that came like date of birth and a second field (possibly password again) which both was totally covered by a layer of second txt. Maybe my phone just isn't up to par! Anyways it works beautiful after that so still happy! I almost tried to post a screen shot of the thumbs up screen before i realized what you were asking.:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Jennyathr:
Omg!!! Thank you so much!! ?
[Android Apps and Games] Siderk21:
Latest version is working perfectly. I haven't seen a single ad anywhere. Great work as always. Hope someone as good as you takes the reigns of this project
[Android Apps and Games] Alucardut:
Working great, also no ads here either
[Android Apps and Games] Siderk21:
Yea i think that's a security feature. Doesn't let me take a screenshot either.
[Android Apps and Games] Wazkui:
Hi android tv spotify working great with no ads
[Android Apps and Games] Siderk21:

[Android Apps and Games] Luvappandi:

Great Work!

It runs perfect, but is it possible that i will get my account banned?
[Android Apps and Games] Strangesmell:
Probably not
[Android Apps and Games] Panyherxda:
Thanks a lot [MENTION=6536642]guitar1238751[/MENTION]. Was looking for something like this but i didn't trust where they were from, really shady websites out there LOL. Saw your name and immediately new I could trust it. Great work as always. Miss your work in the jailbreak community but Android is so much better, recently switched over a couple months ago and never going back :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] Happynarutu:

Thanks dude. Works great

New update

Guys guitar has a new version on his afh. It's version "Spotify.v.8.4.11.1283.b.21237514 _Adfree_pf_EXPERIMENTAL_V3"

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=961840155545586173

I'm using it now and it works flawlessly, no ads. Thanks for your hard work [MENTION=6536642]guitar1238751[/MENTION]
[Android Apps and Games] Brandtner:
Thanks for this perfect mod! This is the only mod that I found that works well with the Japanese account.

But on v.8.4.11 my phone is defined as a tablet. For the Japanese account this is bad, because there is a limitation on listening in a month from the tablet and PC. But for the phone there is no such limitation. Is it possible to save the definition of the phone as a phone?

Ads When Casting

Hi,

First, this app is awesome - thank you. Everything works as advertised. I'm using v.8.4.11.1283.b.21237514+_Adfree_pf_EXPERIMENTAL_V3 on Android 7.1.2 on a Nexus 5X on Verizon (no root). I noticed that when I cast to Chromecast Audio I still get ads (annoying ones too - like 3 in a row that you can't skip). I've noticed the same thing using a similarly modded version of Pandora. No ads otherwise (speaker, headphones, bluetooth) - only when casting to a Chromecast Audio. I haven't tried a regular Chromecast to see if I get them there too, but I assume I will. Anyone else have this issue? Is this expected?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Earlthat:
Amazing

Amazing work dev. Thanks for this mod. Its perfect for me. I don't know how many times I can keep saying thanks to you. Keep up the great work!!:D
[Android Apps and Games] Wattuut:
Thanks latest version is working great it.
[Android Apps and Games] Forrealboi:
Thanks man. No ads on the new 8.4.11 stable builds but I'm getting ads spontaneously on the experimental 8.4.14 build. I pm'ed you the logs. Hope it helps. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] MuP1:
looks good
[Android Apps and Games] gullkhan0:
This sounds fantastic, I'd love to try it out. Actually I was looking for something exactly like this app.

Would you be willing to send me a Promo Code?

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] McBree:
Thank you!

Working on Huawei TI 7.0 tablet.

:D :good:
[Android Apps and Games] thinkinggrey:
Yes, the same happens with me. The app works perfectly on my phone and tablet but I get ads when it gets casted to Chromecast. Sometimes I also get signed out because I am not in a country where Spotify is available, but to cater that I just sign in with a US proxy (PIA ftw). Lets hope there is a way to cater that as well. Still, I love the app and kudos to the developer. Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] Hexyl:
You do not literally stream music from your phone to the Chromecast. The Chromecast just picks up the stream and uses it's own app and internet connection for it. That's why you still get ads on the Chromecast. The Chromecast software has to be modified to get rid of ads (I do not know if someone already has done this).

In there words, the ads on Chromecast has nothing to do with this app.
[Android Apps and Games] thinkinggrey:
Of course I understand that. I was just letting the previous commenter know that this is a problem which is faced by other people as well. I'm sorry if I was not clear in my reply that this is not a problem with the phone application but related to the Chromecast software like you said. No hard feelings though. Thanks for the explanation. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] oniemjan:
Maybe someone found a workaround? I tried with screen mirroring to cast from phone instead from within the spotify app but then it keeps disconnecting (no ads though)

Removed. Lots of issues, new build will be up soon
[Android Apps and Games] Stupifier:
Could you add an option to make the Spotify Notification text/button White?

Many people use themes which make notification backgrounds black. I can't see any of the Text/Buttons in this newest Spotify Mod. Since you Changed the package/app name, None of the theme apps (Substratum) detect this version of Spotify to even theme it correctly (White Text/Buttons on Black Background).
[Android Apps and Games] cyan pac:
Could you put out the apk original apk and not cloned apk. I usually turn my notifications orange and I can't do that with a clone.
[Android Apps and Games] Stupifier:
Pretty much same request I have.
[Android Apps and Games] guitar1238751:
[MENTION=5085367]cyan pac[/MENTION] [MENTION=2638236]Stupifier[/MENTION]

Yeah this build was mostly meant for people who had Spotify preinstalled on their devices. It's the same base as the regular build. Sorry, I guess I should have clarified that in the post. Just use build 8.4.11.1283 and you'll be good to go. I'll upload another build soon with the original package name that'll have merged all other changed. Hopefully this way everyone can easily install new builds without any issues.
[Android Apps and Games] guitar1238751:
Alright this is another build for you guys with Spotify preinstalled: Here

Fix: really weird bug fixes
Fix: more code cleanup

*Note: Working fixing some things on v.8.4.14.439 & v.8.4.16.739.b. Will have new builds up soon.

[Android Apps and Games] TheLastBoyScout:
EDIT: Nevermind. I had orginally install Spotify Adfree[129].pf.8.4.11.1283.s.apk, but I just now installed the other version (Spotify-8.4.11.1283.s.21237514_Adfree_pf.apk) and it worked correctly.

Just upgraded my Pixel XL to Android Oreo. For some reason, I cannot get Waze to see Spotify now.

What data can I pull to help remedy this issue?

Thanks,

Are you signed into Facebook on your phone? If so sign out, then sign into Spotify. Afterwards you can sign back into Facebook.
[Android Apps and Games] guitar1238751:
New build is up. Thanks to all telegram testers. Spotify has made it significantly harder to remove ads but those suckers should be gone now. I've been very busy the past year with school, work and other projects so I don't have the time to add a bunch of other features. In fact, just removing ads was time consuming enough this time around. Also I won't be working on the standalone player on xda for a while. However, I'll continue to work on it whenever I get the chance. You can follow progress on my git. As for all other rom projects, you can follow along on git or just bookmark and check basketbuild and afh as I'll keep pushing freshly compiled builds there. Anyways, try it out and let me know how everything is. Enjoy.

No ads this build and also no ads while casting
[Android Apps and Games] Forrealboi:
Thanks man. No ads at all in the app. Everything's working real smoothly. However I do see the "30 minutes of adfree" popup on the 8.4.17 and 8.4.18 experimental builds on afh and telegram. But that's normal since it is a experimental build and I have faith that who'll have it fixed soon like with every other build.

i have logged out of the facebook app already - didnt work.

then i uninstalled the facebook app from my handset - allowed me to login using facebook credentials & then again showed me a screen that said...

"you dont have a spotify account associated with this id - would u like to create a new one"

choosing any of the subsequent options takes me back to the original home screen where it asks for login to spotify.

any pointers pls?

many thanks!
