It's part of the branding. Does it look that bad? :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] wrongway213:
I genuinely like it, for what it's worth. Fitting of a mod this awesome :good:
[Android Apps and Games] shawnsnyderseedb:
Some people just like to complain. I like it.
[Android Apps and Games] nixie2121:

[Android Apps and Games] chopoLet:
We ALL like it. It looks cool and cute. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] GitaraSiema:
Sorry, I didn't want to be impolite. No it doesn't, but i'd prefer to have normal icon in statusbar :)
[Android Apps and Games] steelheart34:
Thank you for this sir salute
[Android Apps and Games] rignfool:
Nah... Show it off to your friends... Maybe it'll get them into Android...
[Android Apps and Games] AussieAndroider:
Hey, bit of a noob here.

Under the file name it says ARM in brackets.

Will this app work on non ARM processors?

Thanks in advance :)
[Android Apps and Games] DEVILOPS 007:
Couldn't you just use an APK editor to rebuild the APK with an icon image of your choice? I did it ages ago with an app.

Hi! Has anyone had issues with Android Wear? There's no official 2.0 version of dogfood, so the wear play store version doesn't connect properly to the phone.
[Android Apps and Games] RagingVino:
Thanks! Working great on my S8+
[Android Apps and Games] mdxdave:
Same problem here
[Android Apps and Games] kbrn:
Hello! first of all I wanna thank you so much for this mod, for years I've paying a premium for Spotify.

I don't use it as much as to having to download music. but I do stream quite often.

I decided to take a break from paying and use your mod, but I noticed that I can't use it with Bluetooth in my Ford car with SYNC.

Sync usually scans devices for compatible apps and starts, Pandora and Spotify being the ones it recognizes.

But even though my phone recognizes that SYNC is trying to run Spotify, SYNC does not.

I was wondering if part of your mod removes SYNC support.

Thank you!

Hi,

Got Sync too. Try to disable and reenable Bluetooth on the phone, it should works.
[Android Apps and Games] kbrn:
Man I've tried disabling and enabling bluetooth many times and it doesn't..

But since you're having success with it then I'm now certain the modded app isn't the issue.

I appreciate your comment though, it'll help me discard the option and maybe something else that I need to do. perhaps a full unpairing and pairing again.
[Android Apps and Games] steelheart34:
this is great work
[Android Apps and Games] linuxct:
Hello,

Quick heads up before someone starts yelling non-sense in this thread because links aren't working:

The project's webpage and file-hosting has been moved! You can now check it here, as well as in GitHub, as always.

Have fun!

Hi dev. Could u please make another build for x86 as well ? Because seems like the apk is for ARM devices...
[Android Apps and Games] jad88:
I have a Zenfone 2 and the arm version works well
[Android Apps and Games] Luq4dmin:

Hi [MENTION=4787101]linuxct[/MENTION], thanks for sharing your work with us. I have a request, would be possible to add the automatic detecting tempo under running section? I noticed that in your version, like in others available online, it's only possible to set manually the steps per minute; I wonder if the absence of this function is related to the mod, considering that is also available for free accounts.
[Android Apps and Games] replica9000:
Seems to work well so far. Surprised to see the play store is telling me I have an update for this app though.
[Android Apps and Games] Bec de Xorbin:
I got an update notification but it's an in-app notification. If you press update it goes to Play Store and update there is of course not available.

[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
I found that I can cast directly from in-app to Chromecast Audio if I have Google Home installed; if not, I have to cast screen.

The former gets ads, the latter seems not to.

Any info as to why this could be?

Spotify Dogfood 8.4.22.827 has just been deployed + exciting news!

Hello everyone!

Spotify Dogfood 8.4.22.827 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 latest Spotify version 8.4.22.827.
* Addition of a new section inside Spotify app settings that redirects to our new GitHub Repo.
* Bugfixes.

----

Also, today I'm very excited to announce a new small project that [MENTION=6254144]2Rabbit[/MENTION] and I have been working on for a few weeks. It's called

Updater for Spotify

, and it serves for the purpose of updating Spotify Dogfood and notifying you when a new update is published. It's an open-source project too, so you can check out the source here: https://github.com/spotify-dogfood/updater-for-spotify

And you can download it from here: Updater for Spotify

Many thanks to [MENTION=6254144]2Rabbit[/MENTION] for developing it! You can donate him here. :)

Enjoy! :)

Thanks commander
[Android Apps and Games] spyderon:
Hello,

Is there a way to make it work in "other countries" without the VPN method I mean?

Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] linuxct:
I think it relies on some sort of signature checking, and that's why it's not working apparently...

Patience, yung padawan. For now we already have the Updater for Spotify app at least to keep the app up-to-date.

The latter uses the device's built-in player, whereas casting directly to it uses the CC app, which is independent of this mod and that's why it shows ads (at least for now).

However, it's nice to see this workaround to get audio playback with no ads :)

That would be really interesting and probably not very hard to do, but would most users like it?

It's something that may or may not be a wanted feature, so that's why I'm providing the app as vanilla as possible.

Here too?

Sorry but I can't help that :\ Read two quotes above.
[Android Apps and Games] Rumbledown:
Yes, if you create an account on spotify's website that specifies an address from a location that Spotify is available in.
[Android Apps and Games] spyderon:
It wouldn't work on the phone though when it detects that I'm in unsupported country.

Running a VPN one time in a couple of weeks isn't that big of an issue. I'll stick with that workaround for now.
[Android Apps and Games] kevjef420:
I am not familiar with Spotify at all. I have had a subscription to Google play music for since it started. Is using this mod equivalent to having a subscription to Spotify?
[Android Apps and Games] Redhawk2000:
No. With a subscription you could download songs and play them offline.
[Android Apps and Games] kevjef420:
Thanks for the info. So other than downloading it is almost the same as having a paid subscription. I am thinking about cancelling my google music subscription. I never really download with Google anyways, I just stream. I will try this modded Spotify for a month and decided if this is the way to go. For purely downloading music I prefer Fildo but Fildo isn't great for streaming as the interface and adds are annoying.
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
If I'm casting to my Chromecast Audio via the spotify app directly (not casting screen) with the Google Home app installed I can't change the casting volume, it changes the ringer volume and the media volume bar is greyed out

Is this normal on others' dogfood app and/or the normal version?
[Android Apps and Games] OPOt585:
Good job, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] .bucch:
I wanted to try it out, downloaded and installed on my Nexus 5 running AOSP Nougat but when the app tries to download the latest version of Spotify Dogfood the download fails immediately.
[Android Apps and Games] Uga_boy:
Thanks soooo much for this. Just wondering if you think this patch set would work on the Android Wear version? The one in the playstore never connects after installing the dogfood version on my phone. I assume its trying to get my account info from the phone and isn't finding the official Spotify app there. Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] DynamicDonkey:
I have the same issue. [MENTION=4787101]linuxct[/MENTION] said that it may be a key signing issue. If it's that, OP would have to make a special Android Wear version too.
[Android Apps and Games] Setoja1:
Every time I open the app it asks me to Join Premium. Getting annoying...

Cracked Spotify on the Galaxy S8?

Been trying to get a cracked version on my s8 for hours. My s8 came with spotify preinstalled so I'm unable to simply uninstall it. I can't even root my phone, because there isn't even a working one for my model, and I even tried uninstalling with the adb method. I also tried changing the package name by decompiling, building and signing or whatever, but its not working whatsoever.

I'd appreciate it if someone is able to help me.

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] DEVILOPS 007:
Are you able to get twrp on that device?
[Android Apps and Games] JAWheat411:
There are system app disabler apps on the play store for Samsung phones. They work without root.

Edit: They are called BK package disabler and Package disabler pro.
[Android Apps and Games] hugugy:
It didn't work, but I just got it refunded.
[Android Apps and Games] JAWheat411:
Ok sorry about that.
[Android Apps and Games] davidmcw:

[Android Apps and Games] Erikbaldav17:
Very nice job dev!

Keep it going :)
[Android Apps and Games] WombatCombat789:
The app is working perfectly, but I'm wondering if it streams normal quality even if I select "normal quality" streaming in my settings. For some reason I've been using way too much data on spotify (I never used this much when I had the actual premium trial and had it set to "normal quality")

Is there something I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

I don't know if it's possible, but can the built-in caching be disabled? It seems Spotify caches all the songs in storage and this can be rather much when using the radio mode.
[Android Apps and Games] kimikim0:

[Android Apps and Games] asusgarb:
By reading the thread, seems to me that this app can be updated by installing newer version over previous one.

Is it right, or do we need to uninstall previous one in order to install most recent one, like with other modded Spotify versions?

Inviato dal mio SM-N9005 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] buzzboy:
Yes, I've been updating over the previous install with zero issues.
[Android Apps and Games] rogeriskira:
I managed to get an ad while using the app with the latest version 8.4.24.837. This was happening while using my chromecast to play the music off of my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] Bec de Xorbin:
Yeah, me too. It's a known limitation.
[Android Apps and Games] dj_jormi:
muy buena, entonces hay que copilar no?

very good, then you have to compile it?
[Android Apps and Games] oreo27:
This looks pretty awesome! Will try it out now.
[Android Apps and Games] xam4:
Is it possible to insert an option to download songs? At least a cache for music, that you have already listened to?
[Android Apps and Games] Redhawk2000:
Do you mean to prevent it? Because it already does that. If you're asking in order to listen to them offline, I think the answer would be no.
[Android Apps and Games] xam4:
No, I want the app to load the songs, you have listened to in the past, from cache instead from the internet.
[Android Apps and Games] Redhawk2000:
It does that for me. I can listen for hours to my playlists without mobile data use. My Spotify folder in android/data is over 1gb which is my cache.
[Android Apps and Games] wrongway213:
I'm curious if anyone else has used this on Oreo and found that you can no longer start songs via Google Assistant. I'm unsure if that's something missing in the ROM or if it's a change in Spotify for Oreo. Either way, that's one thing I definitely miss, so if anyone has any information regarding that functionality on Oreo/sdk26, I'd be most appreciative.
[Android Apps and Games] James_Ward01:
Just noticed this just now, I've not seen this prior to oreo
[Android Apps and Games] JAWheat411:
I seen that on my phone. I am on nougat.
[Android Apps and Games] James_Ward01:
Not sure then, only just noticed it
[Android Apps and Games] wrongway213:
Neither have I. It seems it is a new feature, whether Oreo specific or not - I am curious if this is something that would fall within the original scope of this mod. If it does, I certainly think it could be useful for those of us who may be able to contribute to check it out, see if someone can crack it - but only if [MENTION=4787101]linuxct[/MENTION] would approve of that, of course. I'd hate to infer what the mod should and should not do, so I decided to directly ask and hopefully clear it up.
[Android Apps and Games] Akhilesh S V:
Even I saw this few weeks back, seems like an option exclusive to Oreo users
[Android Apps and Games] ermeda:
My experience is , btw I'm in Nougarth:

Using Assistant from my phone won't let me choose the song(premium account needed) but when I connect my phone in my car using Android Auto I am able to choose single song using Assistant....really strange but it works :)

App not installed. The package conflicts with an existing package

Need help regarding Spotify Dogfood installation..

I need to help my daughter install it on her phone (LG G5, stock Nougat), and since she is some 6000 mi away, i cant play around with it,

So, she has installed Spotify from Play store, and then uninstalled it.

After that,whenever she tried to flash any Spotify APK,she gets message" App not installed. The package conflicts with an existing package by the same name"

Same thing happened when she tried to flash latest Spotify Dogfood yesterday.

She tried to install playstore Spotify again,then delete data and cache, uninstall Spotify,and after restarting phone flash Dogfo0d, but still same message.

Any ideas, or hopefully, solution? :)
[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
Is "allow unknown sources" checked?

Usually in settings, security but I don't know exactly for the device in question...
[Android Apps and Games] draskome:
Yes, that is checked : It would be to easy :)
[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
What do you mean by "flashed", it's a normal apk which gets installed by android package installer...

Sure it isn't a bad download? Tried re-downloading the file?

Also try searching the thread with the search bar, it gives results like (read subsequent posts too)

https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/mod-spotify-dogfood-ad-free-spotify-t3632423/post73404547
[Android Apps and Games] draskome:
OK, I will be more clear:

- Ive already tried to find any existing info on this issue in this thread and elsewhere on XDA. Spotify was not preinstalled on the phone,so its not installed as system app. That Playstore version is properly uninstalled.

- It's not bad APK. She tried with different Spotify APK's and Dogfood APK - same message always.

- I've used wrong term. It was not flashed, but installed like all APK's

Thanks for the interest :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
Well, this makes no sense to me then as dogfood has a different signature and wouldn't interfere with a preinstalled Spotify installation, it shouldn't even have a similar signature as any other application, yet the android package installer tells you that he detected a signature conflict, really weird and shouldn't happen...

Taking a log from the installation process with some easy to use app like "Matlog" and posting it here is the only real chance to get it solved, at least I don't see any option left, sorry...
[Android Apps and Games] draskome:
Yes,that's exactly why I've posted here, asking for help. Dogfood has different signature, like stated in OP, and there is no reason that kind of message to appear in the first place.

Installation log is the best way, I agree :) I'll try to get it from my daughter. Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] eushaun99:
Maybe a reboot in between uninstalling original Spotify and installing dogfood Spotify will help? Maybe it will clear some kind of "residue" from the previous package name. Just throwing an idea out there.

Edit: have not thanked [MENTION=4787101]linuxct[/MENTION] yet, so thanks for this. Absolutely love the fact that I don't have to go around searching for a "cracked" Spotify anymore.

[Android Apps and Games] hurrykaneftw:
No there's no other way, but u don't need to use vpn everytime. Use it when u log in & then turn it off. The location will be saved. After few weeks, u'll get logged out. Use vpn then again. (Sry if u knew all this)
[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
