This Mod have all the premium features enabled, like o shuffle, HQ, etc?

The only think don't working is offline music?

It will be really helpfull for the people who get here searching for an moded spotify app that the differences with the normal spotify and the premium cracked features be listed in the treadh!

Thanks a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] nixie2121:
this is not cracked, it is a mod. Cracked implies something wrong. Everything works perfectly, you can't download for offline use.
[Android Apps and Games] Bastard88:
I've been using this mod for like 2 months, it works amazingly good!

thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] voerafsp:
I just wanted to express my gratitude as well. Thank you very much for this awesome mod!
[Android Apps and Games] NahuelMS:
Ok, if you don't like the world crack just call it as you like. I just want to know what features are included that only are included with premium in the original app and what features aren't.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] AlanDS:
Excellent. Thanks for this project.

I've been using this mod for months and works great, I hadn't a single issue. It's just perfect... A few days ago I bought a xiaomi mi box with android tv and this didn't worked normally. Somehow it's possible to adapt this to Android tv? Sorry if anyone already asked this and already answered

This app has worked great last couple of months and thankyou, however today I opened it and I got a Spotify message in the app I had 7 days left of premium.
[Android Apps and Games] preference:
Weird, mine still works. Did you accidentally install Spotify from the play store? Like, is there a way you could have updated to regular Spotify? Maybe the play store is updating the app like it does with the iYTB you tube no ads app. That's why detaching from the play store is a good idea, I do it with titanium backup
[Android Apps and Games] Stupifier:
Just ignore it.....app will likely continue to work fine regardless of any of those messages
[Android Apps and Games] Soerdroid:
Amazing app, thanks for the hard work. I have tested with a song of 3.23 min. on extreme quality and the app uses 8 MB of data. 8 MB/2.4 MB = 3.33 min. for a song. I can confirm that the extreme quality option actually works. Thanks again :)

When I try to open both the update search and the updater link, the app closes and nothing opens. Is it possible that adblock is blocking the pages? Maybe it thinks that they are popups

Spotify Dogfood 8.4.28.867 has just been deployed

Hello everyone!

Today I'm releasing Spotify Dogfood 8.4.28.867. Just as always, you can find the new PatchSet in the GitHub repo, as well as binaries in the Releases section. Also, remember you can always keep up-to-date with Updater for Spotify, which you can get from here.

Changelog is:

* Rebase to latest Spotify version 8.4.28.867.

Enjoy! :)
[Android Apps and Games] bernat77:
Thanks for the work! running fine here!

[Android Apps and Games] linuxct:
That should be fixed in the latest versions of Updater for Spotify. Grab the latest version and see if it still happens!

Android TV has it's specific Spotify app, you shouldn't use this one.

Meow.

Thank you for confirming it too! People seemed very skeptical about that but, at least here, it seems to work just fine.

That sounds to me like you don't have a web browser installed on your device maybe? And that you're missing Updater for Spotify in your device, that's why it crashes.

PSA: Content Delivery Network to be shutdown shortly

Hello everyone!

I've got a bit of sad news today. My webhosting where I used to store the Spotify Dogfood binaries, as well as the project's webpage, is going to be shut down for a indefinite period of time.

The reason behind this is that my provider decided that, because of a very high usage rate (guess hosting Spotify Dogfood myself is to blame in here) + the change of one of my domains to linuxct.info made them decide it was a good idea to start charging me 50% extra semiannually.

Unfortunately, I can't afford paying that, so before the CDN and the project's webpage are about to be shutdown, I'll make a copy of them elsewhere and most probably start uploading each version's apk to GitHub from now on, taking the risks linked to it, and given that I don't find any other webhosting company that is, at least as cheap as the old contract was.

I'm going to let off-topic flow from this if needed, so if anyone knows or has a good experience with a cheap webhosting company, please leave a comment with your suggestion :)

I'd also take this opportunity to thank everyone for their awesome support and for being such an amazing community, reporting back with bugs, suggestions and so on. Thanks to all Spotify Dogfood supporters out there! #StayDogfood

TL;DR: My web server is now 50% more expensive than before, I can't afford it and I need to shut it down.
[Android Apps and Games] .bucch:
That's unfortunate for you!

I don't really know what do you need in terms of server power but i know this italian hosting provider: https://www.netsons.com

Their cheapest hosting plan is about 22€/year with among other things unlimited traffic at 1Gb/s and one year free domain. The only downside is that the server is a virtual one, so slow cpu and not so much ram, but you can choose a more powerful plan also.

I hope it helps.

Keep rockin'

I'm willing to donate, how much do we need to get together?
[Android Apps and Games] ainurrofiq:
Join the telegram group, it will be easier to get connected with the dev
[Android Apps and Games] linuxct:
Hey, thanks for the suggestion, sounds quite good. I'll check it out :)

There's no need for that. I'm willing to pay the server myself, but up to a certain amount.

It's just a non-sense paying almost 12 bucks per month for just 100GB of space, 2 domains and 10 MySQL databases. It used to be a good price for 6 bucks per month, but definitely not anymore.

However, if anyone really wants to donate for this (or any other reason), there's a Donate link in my profile and also here. But once again, there's no need for it, tho it's always much appreciated :)
[Android Apps and Games] Alex_Lyt:
Pardon me, but its 100% more expensive, not 50 )))
[Android Apps and Games] linuxct:
Yeah, you're absolutely right. What I meant was as in paying double the amount I used to pay for that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[MENTION=4787101]linuxct[/MENTION] I did some research and found this to be very cheap for primary hosting: https://www.greengeeks.com

Songs are always played at random order

Hello and thank you very much for this amazing work. I've noted that stored album songs always play in random order.

I've downgraded to version 8.4.26.57 and songs play OK (in order)).

Maybe there is an issue in recent versions.
[Android Apps and Games] linuxct:
Hey, thank you and [MENTION=2815508]Jacobh25[/MENTION] for taking your time to find a good alternative :)

I've seen the price at greengeeks varies depending how many years of contract you get, so for 3 years you get a 3.99 USD month price, however a yearly subscription was a bit more expensive, almost the same as I was paying before. I'll consider that, and also alibaba cloud seems interesting too tbh. I was thinking, and some other people over at our telegram group suggested me to try out Google Cloud platform, so I guess these two are quite similar...

I'll send you a PM now ?

This one in particular... Caught my eye. 3€ per month for a VPS? It's ridiculously cheap, do you use any server there? Does it work decently? Do the KVM virtual machines get suspended after a period of inactivity? There must be a catch in all this! :laugh:

Thanks for your suggestion too!

I've just played this beautiful masterpiece with shuffle mode off and all songs played in the correct order, so I cannot reproduce what you mean.

Hi

I just moved to your version of spotify and i must say im very glad i found it, since you actually have open source and other mods dont, so i trust it more

Its working as it should, does what it should, great job

Only thing im sceptical about people talking that extreme quality mode working, cause i did test a little bit and everything was same on normal and extreme

But again that is premium feature tied to account, its not like anyone can do something about it

Plus updater for spotify is awesome feature

You won me, and from now on ill use and recommend your version

Thanks again and keep up the great work

[Android Apps and Games] webvan:
Installed the latest version and enabled "excellent quality" and using some good cans I did some A/B comparisons with the old 7.5 "modded" version I still had and...well I can't say I hear any real difference. It's not MP3 128kbps for sure. So maybe that old 7.5 version had preserned HQ streaming...
[Android Apps and Games] Bec de Xorbin:
Spotify doesn't use MP3 but Ogg Vorbis.
[Android Apps and Games] webvan:
ok but that's not really the point, there were reports that the streaming quality for non premium members had dropped significantly recently, hence my comments. Were these reports erroneous ?
[Android Apps and Games] Bec de Xorbin:
Yes. Proved by couple of users by measuring amount of transferred data.
[Android Apps and Games] webvan:
Ok but that could come down to caching ? Do you have a link handy for these test ? Thanks.

Can't say I hear any differences, anyway the quality is quite acceptable which is the main thing ;)

Spotify Dogfood 8.4.30.688 has just been deployed! New song selection UI is here!

Hello everyone!

Today I'm releasing Spotify Dogfood 8.4.30.688. Just as always, you can find the new PatchSet in the GitHub repo, as well as binaries in the Releases section. Also, remember you can always keep up-to-date with Updater for Spotify, which you can get from here.

This version features a currently-under-testing new, splitted UI for playlists, radio or album song selection screens, showing on the very left the album/playlist info, and the songs on the very right. Please note, THIS UI IS JUST A PREVIEW and has been unlocked in the code so that everyone is able to test it out.

Changelog is:

* Rebase to latest Spotify version 8.4.30.688.
* New UI for song selections unlocked.

Enjoy! :)
[Android Apps and Games] linuxct:
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Try with latest version.

It does, to improve it., so maybe your headphones did broke. I'll give more info about the sound quality soon, thanks from a user from our Spotify Dogfood telegram group.
[Android Apps and Games] Bec de Xorbin:
Holy **** that new UI is ****ing awful especially in portrait mode.
[Android Apps and Games] KingUsman:
New ui does not look good, it looks like it's supposed to be for tablets
[Android Apps and Games] wrongway213:
I have to agree - this UI absolutely looks like it is meant for tablets exclusively. App is still amazing as per usual, but I do think the UI is a regression as opposed to an improvement - no offense intended, simply honest feedback.
[Android Apps and Games] SpasilliumNexus:
I know it's experimental, but in case anyone is wondering what it looks like on a phone:
[Android Apps and Games] rignfool:
Well...

There is a good reason for that...

This mod makes Spotify think everything is a tablet...
[Android Apps and Games] wrongway213:
I'm aware of that. Given that, this mod is for phones quite obviously, not for tablets. A tablet clearly would not need to be made to think it is a tablet. Since Dogfood has been believing itself to be a tablet all along, with phone UI, I don't believe the reason for this is that tablet UI is necessary for tablet functionality. Therefore, forcing tablet UI on what was before a 100% fully functional tablet experience with phone UI is a regression as I see it, because the UI no longer fits the devices this is intended to be used on.
[Android Apps and Games] Valiante:
Is it possible to change the UI back to normal in the latest version?
[Android Apps and Games] linuxct:
You all! In case you want to go back to an older version of Spotify without uninstalling and losing your data/cache, you can use the following command from a terminal emulator or from an adb shell, given that you have the apk from the older version and that you're located in the path it was downloaded to:

pm install -r -d Spotify\ 8.4.28.876-dogfood\ \(ARM\).apk

You can get that older version from: http://bit.ly/2AQry5J

Newer versions won't feature the new UI anymore, but until that happens please bear with me if you need to get the old UI back do it like just explained.

Sorry for the confussion.

I don't really understand what you are talking about because extreme quality (320 kbps Ogg Vorbis) is unlocked here. It's way better than 128 kbps MP3.

Installed within the app itself or a separate app?
[Android Apps and Games] linuxct:
Root isn't needed. It was mentioned in the OP, only those phones where the app comes pre-installed need Root, or an App cloner to avoid the original app.

Okay, imagine the following situation.

Imagine a scenario where someone who works at Spotify and develops the App doesn't have Ads while the features are getting developed. The internal development rings that person works on wouldn't have the code used for displaying the Ads, it would get added later in Beta and Stable (public) releases. That's what the Dogfood analogy was meant to be - An app that works as it would in a internal development ring, with all features unlocked.

Of course, I have no idea if that happens or not. But it's a very descriptive name to differentiate it from other mods.

Also, I liked the name and the dog paw icon in the Dogfood apps from Google ;)

As I explained here, I moved to PatchSets for the reason of not needing to host the whole source code.

This way, the mod remains Open-Source, since you can still view, download and apply the changes starting from a clean environment, following the steps described here.

For the BLOBs, like the binary patches you commented, they are just modifications to the icon PNGs, and a library which I already explained how to mod since Day 1 in it's GitHub's repo Wiki page.

Hope it's a bit more clear now :)
