It seems I might be out of luck with the Magisk option, I have the Note 8 SM-950U from Verizon which apparently has a locked bootloader:eek:

I managed to work the Spectrum TV app on my laptop through just BlueStacks and a VPN running in Windows, but unfortunately with my already sub-par Indonesia internet and the crappy tunnel to the US it takes a few minutes to load and when it finally does the picture is garbage haha

It sucks that Spectrum feels the need to block us from accessing our accounts while we're traveling, I was really looking forward to still being able to get in my daily binge of South Park
[Android Apps and Games] cobra360423:
Still getting same error message here too. Yet the original app from the playstore works fine, I belive it's something with the mod itself. Maybe an update they did blocked the mod from working.

Just touching base with this...

First, I had located the following that may be helpful for one or more individuals here regarding some ideas that might work for you. The individual provides edited information for something that had helped fix their issue.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Spectrum/comments/b6qqqz/spectrum_apps_wont_stream_avp999_or_aod9000

On another note, I had uploaded 2 test apps on the following link that, I'm hoping, at least one of them will work.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=292470

I'm keeping my fingers crossed![emoji106]

I'm doing my best to prevent this Mod from reaching its (possible Temporary/Permanent) EOL this soon.

Neither test app worked for me :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] playstereo:
With great sadness:crying: I have to say that none of the two files worked for me.

I came here from the iphone world and for years I used the spectrum app, but on the iphone in order to make it work you had to be jailbroken, and edit the bools or parameters to disable VPN check, out of the home stage etc.

Primarily the reason why I switched to android was because you could still used this application with mods unfortunately Spectrum is doing the same making it so difficult on the server level that the app becomes useless. I guess the only other option is to root your device with Magisk 19 and Magisk Manager 17.11 and hide it as the other member indicated on previous post. the issue is that I have a galaxy US version and can't root due to the lock bot-loader. Ibuprophen thank you for trying to make this work. Unfortunately this did not for me.

If I can can make a suggestion to you Ibuprohen with respect.

I have edited the app IPA file for iphone in the past and I found that the newer version tends to have more security to be able to make it work, so what I did was I edited the version number from an old app version that did not have that much security and went lets say for example: I took the 6.20 version and change it to 6.34 current version with the mods, bypassing the server security and it worked. this was temporary since on the server Spectrum forces you to upgrade every time they change the version number. again I have no idea how apks work which is why I can't really contribute to the cause. again just a suggestion.
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
HA-HA!... To be honest, one of those test versions were from a previous build I had just changed the version/build on it. [emoji79]

I'll eventually get some more time to try and get this app, hopefully, going again...

I do know that they had added some additional stuff and I will have to go digging a bit into those areas to see what's going on.

I just wanted to point out to everyone that modifying apps like these can't, at this point in time, just be Decompiled and Compiled. It requires going into it almost like surgery.

It needs to be done in a way that doesn't result in the signature manifest causing an issue with installing it. This is because of a security feature they have that, upon launching it, their server will check the authenticity of the app before proceeding.

With that stated...

Currently, the app has been authenticated correctly but, some type of new security feature is causing an issue that's resulting in that error.

It's difficult to explain but, I hope that I had explained the challenges for this app and now it requires much more time dedicated to figuring this out now.

I really appreciate your time, patience and understanding with this! :)

Yup... I'm within my Lan and getting it.
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
Based upon the recent changes made to the Spectrum TV App (via Charter/Spectrum), I've currently placed this Modification on a Temporary Hold.

For now, until/unless I'm able to dedicate the time necessary to figure out if/how to get the necessary modifications applied to the App.

I would also would like to state that there's always the possibility for this to be, unfortunately, discontinued but, I'll do my best to prevent this from happening.

Please don't PM me regarding any status updates or similar as those will go unanswered (never as any intention to be mean as that is not in my nature).

Unless otherwise specifically announced, every so often I'll provide a new post here reflecting, whether or not, if there's no changes, some changes, little progress made, etc... etc... to keep you informed (nor keep you in the dark).

My Deepest Apologies to Everyone for this decision. I truly never had intended nor wanted to pause, hold, etc... this modification as I also use it myself and can't even personally use the app without the mods for most of my devices.

Thank you very much for your time, patience, understanding and ESPECIALLY your support!

I would like to thank you all very much for your time, understanding and especially your support that's EXTREMELY encouraging.

I would like to emphasize to everyone to PLEASE not message me regarding this development. It's very important for both the xda-developers and myself to stop providing any past, current and future developments specific to the Spectrum TV App. I'm no longer pursuing this Modification "In Accordance With Charter/Spectrum DCMA.

All these types of apps have a unique way for addressing the same thing and, though I've used the Xfinity app quite a while ago, I've never even thought of or looked into doing this on that app at the time.

I really couldn't state where to start for the Xfinity app and, the only individual who would know (maybe others out there) would be the one who is doing this for the TV Box version.

I don't have a TV Box myself and I'm not really sure what the real difference is between the two mediums and the apps.

Thanks ibuprofen for the help. I do have one other question tho. Even on my android device its still telling me not all channels (like the local ones) are available and i need to connect to spectrum wifi to view all. Am i missing something? I was thinking the mod circumvented that. Thanks

I have been able to do this, but it requires you to VPN to your home network. My configuration is as follows:

- Dd-wrt router at home running openvpn

- Download and install "openvpn for Android"

- determine the ip address that spectrum reaches out to for content. (This can be a pain but I ran tcpdump on my phone and then ran the spectrum app. Once I got a capture I opened the file in Wireshark and it was pretty obvious what the spectrum ip was- 71.74.45.x)

- set openvpn to ONLY route that subnet over the VPN(setting is under routing in the app) you can also just route all your traffic over the tunnel

-use the openvpn app to connect to you home network. You should have full access and can still route the rest of your traffic over the local connection.
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
Thank you very much for providing this valuable information! :)

I had planned to scrub through the Predecessors TWC thread for various information (hints, tips, tricks, etc...) that could be valuable and structure it to be placed either on this threads OP or one of the reserved threads.

Your information can also be very helpful to be included amongst this as well.

[Android Apps and Games] cubandanger05:
I like this setup. My router has the option to use NO-IP service for its VPN. So even though I get a dynamic ip from spectrum (unless I pay extra for a static one) I can use NO-IP so that when spectrums ip it's renewed it automatically updates it on their end. NO-IP basically gives you a static ip address that "forwards traffic" through whatever your spectrum dynamic ip address is thus saving you the hassle of having to update the ip on the VPN. Free doesn't mean no hassle, every month you have to log into your NO-IP account and confirm your host ip, but you do get an email reminding you, and with two taps on your phone you're done. Every time you see words in quotations above is because I'm probably using the wrong terminology but hopefully whoever reads it understands, feel free to correct me lol.
[Android Apps and Games] kuhnto:
I do the same thing. I use dynamic dns service to make sure my domain is always correctly pointing to my current ip address from spectrum. The service is pretty cheap. Dd-wrt router firmware will poll and update as needed which is nice
[Android Apps and Games] BRICK0044:
I'm able to change channels woth a BT mouse but not with mouse toggle. With a BT mouse you can click on a channel and drag channel list up or down. Hope that helps.
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
I just uploaded the recent update to the app.

Just to reiterate...

I've been maintaining the Minimum SDK17 (Android 4.2+) and the last few official releases have been released with a Minimum SDK19 (Android 4.4+).

I may have to, eventually, keep the SDK19 depending on performance.

Please let me know if the changing of the SDK will be an issue since I'm not sure as to anyone using this app still using between the Android 4.2 - 4.4 versions.

I've also begun work on adding this development to the XDA Labs Store but, I can't guarantee anything since the app still requires that the signature remain on Spectrum's.

Please see the Changelog for any additional information...

Thank you very much! :)

[Android Apps and Games] jaquedeth:
I use a program called 'Set Orientation' by Eyes-Free Project to force the app in to landscape mode. I couldn't find it on the Play Store, but it is on APKPure. That plus Mouse toggle make this pretty usable on a firestick..

Before making it a done deal, please give the attached version a try and, if all is well, then I'll remove it from this thread post and push it as the official Mod Release.

The OLD SDK info

(that has been maintained):

minSdkVersion="17"

targetSdkVersion="27"

Working good so far on rooted phone. All channels working when using VPN to connect to home network
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
Thank you very much! :)

I had only asked that question because I only use the app on 1 of my Android devices and I really don't use all the features within it.

I know that members do use certain features that I don't and I believe that some use it on their TV Box too that I don't have to test on either.

After another confirmation or two, I'll push it out as the official mod release.

Thanks a bunch!

[Android Apps and Games] MoPhoMike:
Installed latest version on rooted Moto XT1575 and some channels still blocked outside home network. Blue banner at bottom of the screen says to "connect to in home wifi".
[Android Apps and Games] beemgee:
- You realize channels are blocked away from home unless you use a vpn through your home wifi

- Even if you did Spectrum had a problem recently that caused this to happen even at home
[Android Apps and Games] MoPhoMike:
Yes, but I was under the impression that this app removed that restriction, or does it just "hide" the visibility of the VPN connection? Either way, another great reason to get my OpenVPN working on my router!!
[Android Apps and Games] beemgee:
It just allows the VPN (HDMI, Screencast...) you still have to go through your home IP to get all channels.
[Android Apps and Games] andybones:
Thank you for this!

Great job!
[Android Apps and Games] Wilsonb:
This is great for two reasons. Doesn't care if you have root access and ability to VPN into you network at sae time. If you pay the big $$ every month, you should be able to use it without restrictions..

It was my pleasure to help out whenever I can.

EDIT: I've currently been trying to get into the Development Arena in a different way/direction right now in Github by way of Android Studio and Eclipse.

I have used them before but, not as much as I used to and not at the level I'm approaching at this time.

As I've always stated regarding my being familiar with certain areas and now I'm trying to get a bit more involved in them. It helps being familiar with certain things that I can apply towards the actual application as I attempt to extract my former education and experience i haven't used in quite some time.

I do apologize if I'm absent a bit more frequent here but, I do check in on the Forum at least once or more per day.

I'm happy that this development is helpful! :)

Please let me know if there are any questions or if you even want to say Hello. :eek:

[Android Apps and Games] besweeet:
Previous modded APKs would trick the app into thinking you ARE on home Wi-Fi, even without a VPN.

Of course, the dreaded DVS-1001 error would pop up like it does now when on a VPN. Have to connect to home Wi-Fi, load the channels you want to view when connected to the home VPN and then disconnect from Wi-Fi. I assume it's to gather cookies which do expire unfortunately.
[Android Apps and Games] beemgee:
As far as I can tell Spectrum is checking the IP whenever you load a channel, so no patch will allow all channels to play without a vpn. An older patch made it so that all channels showed, but the home only channels still wouldn't play away from home without a vpn. Never experienced what you talked about, the closest I had was if you started a channel via a vpn then disconnected the vpn the channel would continue to play, switch to another channel and the vpn was required switch back and it was required again (haven't tried this lately).
[Android Apps and Games] besweeet:
I don't remember the version number, but I definitely remember all channels being unlocked even when not connected to a VPN, but obviously they wouldn't play. It would at least display all the channels and allow you to "watch in app" any of them (before display DVS-1001).
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
I do know what you're referring to and I believe I had read somewhere around 1-2 +/- months ago that (a few releases ago) they had done some security changes on their server that primarily aimed at preventing individuals who doesn't have a subscription from using their services.

It was around that time when I had seen myself that this apparently affected this specific feature.

[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
Magisk/Xposed Modules (in themselves and the combination of) use a unique approach to items such as what this specific module does.

When the specific app is modified, as the Netflix/Spectrum app is, your disabling/rerouting the feature(s) within the app itself by telling the app that it's either not needed or doesn't need (so to speak) what it's looking/asking for within the device in question.

Magisk/Xposed Modules (in themselves and the combination of) approach this within the device itself. Instead of the app itself not looking for the feature(s) (as explained above), the Modules do this from outside the app.

In another words, when the unmodified app requests the feature(s) from the device, the Magisk/Xposed module sees this and provides a false/different response directly to the app that tells the app that it's good to go for whatever it's looking for.

I'm not, in any way, stating that any Magisk/Xposed Module doesn't/won't work. I'm just clarifying to you the differences between the two approaches.

To be honest, if there was a working "XPosed Module", since I don't use Magisk (at least this point in time), that effectively performs what I modify the Spectrum TV App for, I probably wouldn't need to modify this app myself but, I am not aware of such a Module.

I hope that I had explained this okay via text... :thumbup:

I would also like to thank you for providing this heads up to me since I wasn't aware of any such Module. :cool:
