That's why I prepared two reserved posts in the first page. For now, since this is a 'first (public) release', I didn't want to add anything to it yet.

Also, you can always check inside the GitHub commits to see the changes I've made to it :)

For the first question: Yeah I probably will! (Probably - Unless I'm in a work peak IRL, this thread gets taken down or they implement better security on their app :p )

For the second one, yeah it does. I'm not a fan of it since it uses more data... But there it is.

Yep, it does.

It's in my profile, just below my Join Date, but I will leave it here too, if someone wants it.

Of course, needless to say it's not 'mandatory' for anyone (because I've seen people thinking that, in other threads of mine). I'm not seeking money, or anything with this, it's just something I've been doing for months now, for myself, but I wanted to share it here too :)

I do have my own hosts file through AdAway, but ads keep playing in the regular app. Let's say they come from the very same place music does - locking them would block the music itself too!
[Android Apps and Games] Tjeerds:
Enjoy the beer/whatever and keep on sharing your good work :good:

Sweet! Nice icon overlay for the main icon too! What's the best way to be alerted to new versions?
[Android Apps and Games] lambroslnk:
Works great so far and does what is promised :p

Thanks for the efforts good job!
[Android Apps and Games] linuxct:
I've made a few changes to the GitHub repo, now you can find a patchset for the versions inside the branches.

Second post now hosts a brief explanation on how to apply those git patchsets and see the modifications on your own, as well as the log of them. This way, the modifications can still be considered open-source, but without hosting the original code.

Enjoy, and many thanks to everyone that tipped in! :)

No sense to use this on premium users right? My question is because my English is so poor that I can't understand the whole intention in this post hahah
[Android Apps and Games] linuxct:
Si tienes premium puedes usarlo también pero anuncios no vas a tener de ningún modo.

If you have premium already, you can still use it but you won't have ads anyways.

Seems nice and all, but I don't get it.... Why dogfood?

Does this app have the skip song limit or no?

A new version has just been released

Spotify Dogfood 8.4.9.271 has just been released. As before, you can find the new PatchSet in the GitHub repo, as well as binaries in the Releases section.

Changelog is:

* Rebase to Spotify Beta 8.4.9.271

Enjoy! :)
[Android Apps and Games] rignfool:
I am willing to bet... That you have some leftover crap in /data/data/(whatever Spotify is called)...

I am not sure how you would go about deleting it without root... I always just went into the actual directory with root explorer... Maybe ADB can be your friend?

The cause is the app was installed on the sdcard and you had a really bad shutdown (kernel panic) and the symlink got corrupted... Android knows how to clean the apk and dex file... But has no pointer to the data files...
[Android Apps and Games] :
All that's on the .zip is an APK...
[Android Apps and Games] hurrykaneftw:

Is there a chance to enable "spotify connect" for free members?

That would be the last area wich could be easily unlockable. Would be relly really nice.

Does 'behind the lyrics' feature work for everyone here? I've been searching for solutions on the Spotify community forums and tried the basic solutions like reinstalling and all but it still doesn't work. Please help...
[Android Apps and Games] kdawg2015:
I apologize in advance if this is a total stupid and noob question....Will there be an updated version/link to latest release? I am new to this forum. The Official Spotify released a new build on Play Store on the 19th. Just curious if that applies to this mod/forum.....thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] dugi9991:
Please, don't ask for ETA's on XDA, there are no exceptions here, app, ROM, anything, just don't ask for ETA's. The Dev's feel then like they owe you something and that's totally wrong. Read the rules if you haven't yet and wait patiently.

Everybody loves this mod. As long as it works, don't touch it. When the update comes out, update it. In the meantime, sit and have a cup of tea, coffee, etc...

Cheers!

Hi All,

What a really great MOD :) using it now fot about a month in my car, and realy loving it. Streaming to my Onkyo never worked. But after reading this forum, i see that it has to work. But i've the same as I_did_it_just_rmrrow... After clearing data and cache of this Spotity app, i can connect to my Onkyo but it keeps connecting and no sound. Other streaming apps work (like synology DS Audio), so i think it is a problem with this app.

Someone else the same problem and maybe a solution?

Thanks! :)
[Android Apps and Games] DarkWolf:
Ad-free, great
[Android Apps and Games] I_did_it_just_tmrrow:
I dont know why some people can use Spotify-Connect, but the truth is that it is a Spotify-Premium feature and if the sound-device download the song itself, it can not be working. The only strange thing is that there are some users who say that they be able to use Spotify-Connect with this modded version...?

Here are some informations about this problem: https://github.com/sergiocastell/spotify-dogfood/issues/12

[MENTION=8480354]SirPhilippF[/MENTION] & [MENTION=3453224]Bingley[/MENTION] Did you got it to work or not?

If yes, can you control the modded spotify-apk with your google home?

Hey guys

So I have spotify premium account, and just saw this thread. I installed this dogfood app for my tablet and it works just like spotify premium... Though sometimes it feels like the app is lagging a little but nothing big.
[Android Apps and Games] Muhammad Tajy:
The only difference between this mod and a premium account is the download option

Spotify Dogfood 8.4.26.157 has just been deployed + new features inside!

Hello everyone!

Today I'm releasing Spotify Dogfood 8.4.26.157. 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.

One of the cool brand new features you're going to find in this release is the possibility to check for updates within Spotify Dogfood settings themselves with two new menus: 'Check for updates' and 'Install Updater for Spotify'. If you tap Check for updates, it'll automatically launch Updater for Spotify, which will assist you on getting the latest version of Spotify Dogfood whenever available, whereas Install Updater for Spotify helps you download the latest version of Updater for Spotify itself, or get it in first place in case you didn't have it previously. Please, keep in mind that the 'Check for updates' button won't work until you install Updater for Spotify.

Changelog is:

* Rebase to latest Spotify version 8.4.26.157.
* New menus inside Spotify settings: 'Check for updates' and 'Install Updater for Spotify'.

Enjoy! :)
[Android Apps and Games] linuxct:
Hey, long time no see, nice to see you around :)
[Android Apps and Games] linuxct:
It seems to be an Oreo specific feature regarding how it handles album art previews. I guess it's probably API-limited, just at first glance, so it's not worth backporting it :)
[Android Apps and Games] ZETROzky:
Anyone notice a new UI for the now playing section on Oreo?
[Android Apps and Games] Komekokos:
thanks for the update, works fine, apart from this, someone know what is mode Stranger Things in settings of Spotify? :confused: :)
[Android Apps and Games] Arch9:
The fullscreen album art one? no that's not Android Oreo feature, its A/B testing from Spotify itself.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/0...ned-now-playing-screen-full-screen-album-art/

No mean too complain tho, is good for me anyway. just want to make sure :D
[Android Apps and Games] Muhammad Tajy:
It's supposed to trigger some animation when you listen to the stranger things soundtrack
[Android Apps and Games] Pendragon2000:
New version doesn't show the notification to stop/play the song.

Mi6 - Miui 9

Edit: Installing three times the app, the issue disappeared.
[Android Apps and Games] linuxct:
>Miui 9

Are you sure it's not an incompatibility? Have you noticed the same happening in official versions of the application?

Nothing happens here, tried playing the soundtrack. Guess it's an A/B testing thing, like the new UI for playlists.

I already explained a lot of pages back that playing a song in either modes made it grew in size from 4MB to 11MB, IIRC, so yes, it really works.
[Android Apps and Games] Pendragon2000:
[MENTION=4787101]linuxct[/MENTION]

Look the edit.
[Android Apps and Games] linuxct:
Yes, I just saw it.
[Android Apps and Games] Pendragon2000:
The issue's reappeared, so I've installed the previous version, anyway the problems persist, then it's an incompatibility with Miui 9.

Hope Xiaomi fixs it.

Edit: maybe it's the energy saver mod of Miui that remove notifications. I'll let you know soon.
[Android Apps and Games] LuminousMazim:
Ah my bad, forget to use search thread before ask. Thanks for the confirmation :good:

spotify connect works without an issue

is there any way to access spotify with desktop app without a vpn outside US ?? if we can't, whether we need to sign in through US server once a week only on desktop also or it checks everytime we launch it??
[Android Apps and Games] Alpha Assassin:
You do need VPN only during the login process even with the desktop app. But you don't need to use vpn every time you open Spotify. Actually I've had to re login using VPN only once last month instead of once a week.
[Android Apps and Games] Alex_Lyt:
Am I the one, who hears the sound kind of distorted and overloaded as if speakers are on max volume?Returned to previous build, everything is ok now.
[Android Apps and Games] Bec de Xorbin:
I don't know about that but something seems fishy. Device maintenance app noticed me (first time ever) about abnormal battery usage even though I haven't used it in 10 hours. Possibly a buggy beta release from Spotify?
[Android Apps and Games] Sreekantt:
its working without a vpn on desktop- even at login :p :p

I had this problem too , i deleted app data and it's gone , you might try it and see

[Android Apps and Games] Muhammad Tajy:
You asked 2 questions and he answered them both separately
[Android Apps and Games] linuxct:
Woah, hold there you too. I'm not selling this thing or earning any money with it, and you don't absolutely need to be so harsh, it's your decision whether using it or not. First, what came to my mind is that you may have an android phone to use it with, which you can surely cast to your Android TV screen to make it play the music there. Secondly, of course I know the answer, I have done it, but I can't plainly say yes/no for legal and obvious reasons.

So don't take me seriously, I'm sorry if I offended you.

Hey guys I have a quick question

I'm seeing people on here using VPN, is that necessary for this app? and why?
[Android Apps and Games] dugi9991:
If Spotify isn't available in your country (like mine), I spoof the location, login and use it normally. After that, VPN isn't needed.
[Android Apps and Games] cptvakarian:
Got an install-issue.

First it's installing normally but just before the end it aborts and says "App not installed".

I'm on a Stock-Sony Oreo Rom on a XZ1 compact.
[Android Apps and Games] dugi9991:
Tried to reboot then install? Re-download the file then try to install it again?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Is there any way that we can login to Spotify without changing the location through VPN?

I use Hotspot Shield Elite VPN and changed my location to US but I am unable to login. Can someone help me out here?

I am using this version - 8.4.26.743-dogfood

Thanks in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] Alex_Lyt:
What means "unable to login"? No fingers or keyboard, forgot login or password? Be more concrete.

And try another vpn. "Vpn master" works great
[Android Apps and Games] :
To be more clear and for your better understanding,

I am from India. When I try to login into USA Spotify account of mine, I am not able to do.

Understood?
[Android Apps and Games] Alex_Lyt:
Not yet )

To be more clear: what is response of a server?
[Android Apps and Games] Alpha Assassin:
Try connecting to the country that you used at the first time you logged in to Spotify. As Spotify takes that as your default location
[Android Apps and Games] Grahem17:
I've been having some problems with the app, first things first, is this app tablet version?

because spotify is limiting me to features available on the tablet version, for example

spotify japan is limiting its users on tablet and desktop only 15 hours of listening per month and on the phone its free with the shuffle mode

enable as found in this post linked below.

https://community.spotify.com/t5/Ongoing-Issues/15-hours-a-month-limit-in-Japan/idi-p/1463924

I'm not using the app on a tablet or my desktop, hope this gets fixed soon

Spotify Dogfood 8.4.27.845 has just been deployed - New playlist layout is here!

Hello everyone!

Today I'm releasing Spotify Dogfood 8.4.27.845. 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 update seems to (finally) enable the new playlist layout in all playlists, since I've seen myself how mines got into the new layout just right after updating to this version. May be specific to certain accounts/ab testing too, so be patient for that!

Changelog is:

* Rebase to latest Spotify version 8.4.27.845.

Enjoy! :)
[Android Apps and Games] linuxct:
I really don't get what you mean. There's no 15hrs listen monthly, I use Spotify Dogfood as much as I want everyday, more than even 15hours per day in some cases, and I've never had that issue. It is correct that the device is getting detected as a tablet, but that doesn't mean it's limited to the tablet functionality.

That sounds like a problem with the download server more than the Updater for Spotify app itself. Have you tried performing the same task on your web browser? You can get the latest apk from https://cdn.linuxct.info/Spotify/

Do you have any other "Spotify" app installed on your device?

ALL new gen. Sony Xperia devices come prebundled with Spotify and it's not possible to remove or replace it (installed as bloatware), thus, Spotify Dogfood can't be installed on those unless you use an App Cloner or change the package name manually...
[Android Apps and Games] Calvido:
Thanks for the response, with the web browser i don't have problems download the app, I apply this in every update because with de App Updater it's impossible with this phone with Android 5.1.1. I have another phone Galaxy Nexus with rom Android 7.1.2 and don't have this problem

[Android Apps and Games] Grahem17:
Is there a way to change the device detection to mobile instead of tablet, that would help a lot

[Android Apps and Games] lulli1:
Not sure if this will break the functionality of this modded app, but you can always do this by setting another per app resolution with Xposed and app settings.
[Android Apps and Games] Grahem17:
Currently I'm running Android 8.1 DP, and there is no xposed module for that yet, do you think there is an app or an alternative method to do this?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] CyanGreenMod:
Is it possible to still install Spotify dogfood from the Updater for Spotify if I haven't uninstalled the previous version. If Spotify Dogfood is already installed there's no need to display the error, that you need to uninstall the previous version
[Android Apps and Games] krule031:
I'm from Croatia too, and with this version I didn't even need vpn to login, and everything works like a charm. I guess Spotify is being nice lately xD

[Android Apps and Games] dugi9991:

As I use a paid VPN, it doesn't bother me from time to time, if Spotify ask's, to spoof my location.

If you uninstalled it, it should work.

If you only uninstalled the updates, which is the only uninstall you can perform on a bloatware, then it will not work.

Just try it anyway, no harm will be done, if it doesn't work.
[Android Apps and Games] cptvakarian:
As I said,I did try it after uninstalling the bloat app via adb command.

Maybe I'll try if I can install it with adb...
