I don't know if people are still out there looking for this, but I modded the newsest of Spotify version so I figured I'd share it. It seems to work great out of the box, so I can't for the life of me imagine why they restrict it in the first place.

No outside links for me so it's attached.
[Android Apps and Games] zimmen:
Nice nice :D

But i have a request if someone know how to change the play/pause and skip track buttons to smaller on landscape, so you see more of the cover from the artist.
[Android Apps and Games] dedfish:
The preview version of Spotify released today has a much different manifest file. I suspect the next released version will not work with this fix. I've attached the latest manifest in text format.
[Android Apps and Games] gardndj:
I tried an app I found called orientation control with the new preview. Locking my phone in landscape it seems that the entire interface works perfectly. However when I try to access the now playing screen I get a FC, so it appears as of now it's not an option. I'll be curious to try it with a later release.
[Android Apps and Games] girthfingers:
It would be great to get this in landscape mode.
[Android Apps and Games] nico3838:
the new version (spotify v5) don't work in landscape mode ?

I can't open it with APK EDIT, I've a error when I open the APK

ps:

I change nosensor to "user", is better ! rotation can be disabled by notification bar ^^
[Android Apps and Games] elislurry:
So you were able to get it to open?
[Android Apps and Games] elislurry:
I have edited the latest Spotify version that came out on the market today. I cant believe they didn't enable it by default in the revamped version. Let me know if anyone has issues. http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
[Android Apps and Games] nico3838:
no,

"I change nosensor to "user", is better ! rotation can be disabled by notification bar ^^" -> I forgot to say it was for spotify v4 ;)

for open v5 I've this message :

the value can't be NULL, name of parameter : source

Can you share you apk please ? :D

WHY WHY WHY spotify does not include the landscape mode ? ô_Ô

I used the app named

Set Orientation

(Free) to lock landscape mode

I run spotify...

and it's prefectly usable !!

Work without problem, just 1 dialog don't work : "Listening" (à l'écoute in french)

I take 4 screens :
[Android Apps and Games] CubicTom:
It's not usable for me: The "Now Playing" tab is not accessible in landscape.
[Android Apps and Games] nico3838:
Yes me too.

Listening -> Now Playing

Spotify work to include landscape mode for the next update
[Android Apps and Games] Mithent:
I've edited Spotify 0.5.1.15 to use landscape mode without having to force it with other apps. Same issue as before in that "Now Playing" mode doesn't work unless you rotate to portrait, though.
[Android Apps and Games] nico3838:
thank you very much !!
[Android Apps and Games] nico3838:
I've send an e-mail to spotify for integrated autorotate to the android app

the response :

if many people send an email, Spotify integrate this function.
[Android Apps and Games] magn2o:
Attached is v0.5.2.87 with landscape support.
[Android Apps and Games] mardiie:
Thanks for the APK it works flawlessly on my TF201 prime.

Can access everything from landscape so also the Now Playing screen.

Epic!
[Android Apps and Games] Audiotrash:
Yup, works perfect!! Thank you for this one :)

How to make the newest version in landscape format?

I don't want to use Orientation Locker everytime.. but I don't know how to edit the apk..
[Android Apps and Games] gloscherrybomb:
Hi everyone,

I have taken this mod a little further to better suit my car set up. It is using the latest spotify.

The album art is much larger. I have removed the skip buttons (because a swipe works to go forwards and backwards). I have also removed the thumbs up and down from radio.

I think it looks way better. If you would like it let me know and I'll add it.

edit: apk 2 posts below
[Android Apps and Games] farris:
I am pleased to try it :)

Just curious, how have you done that?
[Android Apps and Games] gloscherrybomb:
Decompilation, copied some of the layout files to layout-land, switched some stuff about, etc :p

Attached. This has only been tested on my HTC one X, so it could look a bit wonky on other devices, so let me know!
[Android Apps and Games] nico3838:
thank you gloscherrybomb

but what is the Spotify's version ?
[Android Apps and Games] farris:
The newest, 0.5.4.73.

It works well on my Acer A510 tablet... nice done, the play controls! Wish I could do it myself ;P
[Android Apps and Games] Millionas:
Unzip and install or flash?
[Android Apps and Games] farris:
Why don't you try it yourself? It's so easy... when something is an apk you have to install it, when something are a bunch of files you probably have to flash it.
[Android Apps and Games] gloscherrybomb:
Unzip and install, it's just an apk.
[Android Apps and Games] JonasHa:
So nice, big thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] miljbee:
Great, thank you very much. I can't understand why spotify dev haven't yet implemented this.
[Android Apps and Games] fachadick:
I can confirm that not only does this seem to work flawlessly on the EVO 4G LTE (not that I'm surprised considering how close it is to the One X), but it doesn't interfere with the "save to sd" workaround (where you install the real old version of spotify that allowed you to save to sd, then set up your save path, then update the spotify app to the latest version). I just installed this apk over the lastest spotify apk and all my music was still there.

Also, the tweaked layout looks great with the larger album image, and even though the thumbs are gone in the radio, they appear fine in portrait, so you can always just turn the phone if you need to hit one of them.

Thanks gloscherrybomb!
[Android Apps and Games] MangeCailloux:
Thanks a lot !

Work on Galaxy S3.
[Android Apps and Games] miljbee:
hello

I am not able to install it over an official spotify app. Android tells me that the package is already installed. I have tried to uninstall all, then reinstall the old spotfyapk to get the sd card support. from there I can't install the landscape apk over this one. then, I can upgrade to the latest official from the play store, but once done i still can't upgrade to the landscape one. Android says the app is already installed. Any idea ?
[Android Apps and Games] ajs1122:
Same thing on my Transformer Prime. Some error about signatures from different sources on the same app. I just uninstalled and reinstalled the modified version. Seems to be working flawlessly otherwise. Great work gloscherrybomb! Haven't tried on my EvoLTE because I don't feel like taking the time to redownload tracks yet but I don't anticipate any issues. Just not sure if I will have to uninstall then reinstall the old version to keep the SD card fix. Will report back when I figure it out.
[Android Apps and Games] fachadick:
Don't know what to tell you, it worked perfectly for me. I did the sd card workaround, then upgraded to the latest version a while ago. I just downloaded and installed the landscape version right over that one, and it worked fine. Maybe try going from the real old version right to the landscape version?

I did it on my evo lte, and I didn't have to redownload anything. I made sure to install it when I knew I wasn't going to be using it for a while, in an area with a nice solid wifi signal just in case though.
[Android Apps and Games] miljbee:
That's not a big problem in fact. I will use Directory Bind for the sdCard.

By the way, it would be great to know/find where spotify stores the path to its data directory. If it's just stored in a text file, it would be really easy to update manually, without the need to install the old apk, or mess up with directory bind.

---------- Post added at 09:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 AM ----------

Found it by myself !

it's in /data/user/0/com.spotify.mobile.android.ui/shared_prefs/spotify_preferences.xml

I don't know if this file can easily be edited, I might give it a try today.
[Android Apps and Games] miljbee:
Just tested with a clean spotify installation and it works (uninstalled App, deleted Data from both internal storage and external storage, then reinstalled from market, login, synced a few pl).

So here is the "how-to move spotify data to sd without the old spotify apk" :

Req :

- Spotify !

- SdCard !

- Root (sorry ...)

1 - Make sure Spotify isn't running, if not, terminate it (Settings\manage Apps\Spotify\Force Close)

2 - On your extSdCard create a /Spotify folder

3 - On your extSdCard create an Android Folder in /Spotify

4 - On your extSdCard create a data Folder in /Spotify/Android

5 - From your internal Storage, move Android/data/com.spotify.mobile.android.ui to your extSdCard in /Spotify/Android/data/

6 - With a file explorer that has root capabilities, edit this file (you will have to mount / rw):

/data/user/0/com.spotify.mobile.android.ui/shared_prefs/spotify_preferences.xml

7 - just after <map> insert this :

<string name="storage_location">/storage/extSdCard/Spotify</string>

Warning, this is for a GNote2, the pass to external sdcard storage might be different on other devices. If this is your case, replace /storage/extSdCard by the appropriate path

8 - save the file

9 - Start Spotify.

10 - Login

11 - Enjoy

For some reasons, it will ask you to re login, but that's all good. You will find your sync playlists and no data will be redownloaded
[Android Apps and Games] miljbee:
and of course it works the same with gloscherrybomb's apk

[Android Apps and Games] DavidIanWarren:
ORIENTATION SET free application WORKED GREAT! In fact, I just set it to AUTO and Spotify now picks up on it and rotates as needed...
[Android Apps and Games] iLeopard:

[Android Apps and Games] Cuban Cigar:
Thanks a lot, this has been the answer to my prayers for a few weeks now.... Spotify devs must be on vacation for a long time with the money they make,,,,they dont give a s... about us.
[Android Apps and Games] notbrodie:
any chance of getting the most recent spotify client fixed? or maybe explaining how to fix it?
[Android Apps and Games] thoorne:
Works good on Xperia Neo V, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ajs1122:
Starting several versions ago, Spotify started included the ability in the settings to clear data and cache. When you do this, it automatically chooses the best spot to store offline files when you restart. Obviously it would be more convenient if they had a way to specify exact location, but this does allow the ability to store to external SD cards without any workarounds. The change is detailed a little bit here.

I'm not sure how involved your fix is to implement, but it would be nice to get a version that includes this enhancement. I haven't been able to get the storage location change to work with the modified landscape APK on my phone using either the old APK install and then installing over the top of that or with the miljbee laid out on the previous page. Right now I've got the landscape version running on my tablet, but the official version running on my phone which sucks when I put it in my car dock.
[Android Apps and Games] gloscherrybomb:
Unfortunately I no longer have a windows machine so cannot rebuild this for the latest Spotify - however if you decompile my version (plenty of guides on here) and copy everything from the landscape-land directory to the new version, whilst also editing the manifest to set orientation to user, it should work fine.
[Android Apps and Games] notbrodie:
thanks, but i've since dumped spotify for Google Music All Access. I'd recommend you give a try as well! also $2 cheaper/month
[Android Apps and Games] nico3838:

Hey all,

I've tried running a couple versions of Android and unfortunately for me - they all get stuck on the black screen with white writing (relocating kernel etc... - right after you hit haret).

Anyone know where I'm going wrong? Android is on the root of the sd card.

Do i need anything else?

[G Tablet General] bologdl:
Looking for a little help. I'm a noob at best and I'm looking to replace my Win 7 laptop running Putty through a usb dongle to a 9 pin RS232 to the serial management ports on Sun servers. Does anyone know of a telnet app that will work on the G-TAB Vegan 5.1 that allows me to use the serial port dongle with my G-Tablet?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mangoman:
After updating to 2.0.2.A.0.24 the phone crashes\reboots when i wake up the phone and try to swipe the lock screen. It seems like the screen is frozen when waking it up, and if i dont carefully swipe the keylock it will crash.

Anyone know what the problem can be?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] keijames:
Yes, it did that that to me.

Solution :

1. wait for black screen just before next reboot(try and error), long press home key (right buttom key), do not release, phone stop reboot. If you release, it will boot again.

2. at your PC, start Sony update program, wait for it ready prompt you to connect USB cable, then connect USB cable while still press (home key).

3. Sony update program should detect your x10 mini, and check version upgrade, after it report that version already uptodate and prompt you reinstall it again, your answer is YES.

4. until you saw you X10mini green light on, then you can release you hand. Sony update will download again from internet and flash your x10mini.

I did this, sucessfully installed again with 2.1 2.0.2.A.0.24 version. But then you have to reinstall all you apps again from the beginning.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mangoman:
yes, i did reinstall the update from seus 3-4 times. I think it crashed 15 times in some hours.

Finally it also crashed and restarted when switching it off, and the popup screen appears to shut it down. Had to remove battery to turn it off.

i was using titanium backup to restore, so now im restoring applications one by one and testing to see if some of them are causing the crash.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] keijames:
The app2sd crash
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mangoman:
im not using app2sd, but today it has crashed 4 times so reinstallling with seus again. im soon giving up..

heres what im doing,- On Norwegian phone

1. install from seus again

2. root phone with this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=906231&page=5

3. since im using build.prop with ro.product.name=U20i_1238-8536 im getting for some strange reason keyprint.xml with Keyprint name: QWERTY Swedish/Finnish and <script name="latin" keylayout="qwerty-se-fi"/> when i want norwegian.

Problem here is with 3. party on screen keyboards installed, the hardware keyboard cant write ø and æ. (It becomes ö and ä)

So with root explorer i replace keyprint.xml and mimmi_keypad.kcm.bin found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=828558&page=1

I think that can be the problem, but not sure

Edit again..

im 99% sure changing the keymap.xml and mimmi_keypad.kcm.bin from mentioned thread is the cause of the constant crashes.

with build.prop with ro.product.name=U20i_1238-8536 and updating i get Keyprint name: QWERTY Swedish/Finnish. So hardware keyboard cant type ø and æ with third party keyboard installed.

Any advice?

[Nexus One General] nexus9988:
Hey sorry if this is not where it should be but my power button started to really become quite "laggish". Takes like 5 presses to wake my phone and turn off the screen. I flashed Miui Rom on my phone with a random Buuf theme. Never had the issue before but when i tried to reflash the rom I noticed in recovery i had a difficult time to select options because of the power button. Is this common for anyone else? Is there maybe a fix out there that people have done?
[Nexus One General] jdoo:
It's common and eventually it will stop working. My first N1 lasted six months before the power button stopped responding.

Have fun sending it in to HTC for repair. When I sent mine in they claimed the screen was broken and held my phone hostage for $116.

I've had my replacement for another 5 months and the power button is starting to get flaky again...
[Nexus One General] nexus9988:
Ugh this sucks I really didn't want to have to buy a new phone/spend money on repairs for like another 2-3 months until they came out with somthing better than the mt4g and or NS :mad:
[Nexus One General] Futant:
Are you under warranty? I just replaced a Nexus One under warranty for the same reason and it went very smoothly. If not I here you can send it for repair but I am unsure of the cost. I have heard reports of people getting a digitizer repaired for around $120 so I would imagine a power button replacement would be that or lower.

Trackball wake is your friend. Also if it completely breaks you can wake the screen by plugging the phone into a USB port. You can boot the phone by plugging the phone into a USB port and removing and reinserting the battery and the USB cable in different orders. I have done it many times but I can't seem to figure out the exact order.

Good luck!
[Nexus One General] nexus9988:
Thanks for the Ideas =] btw anyone have any other idea in terms of what would be a good replacement phone to purchase?!? :)

This is why I've used track ball wake since owning this phone. It shouldn't be this way, but why risk it with all the failures we've seen. Crosses fingers.
[Nexus One General] player911:
My Power button seems to be doing the same thing but I was blaming some of the custom roms I've been using. It only does it some of the time. Just seems to take a few seconds to wake up.

I just tested and continuously hit the power button and had a 1-1 success of turning the screen on and off. Is this the same for you or is it always flaky?

[Nexus One General] xxlikquidxx:
can u use the trackball wake method from a cold boot? i.e when swapping sim card or removing the battery and you need the phone to turn back on. I found trackball wake only work to wake the phone up from standby mode in my Widget Locker app.
[Nexus One General] Futant:
I don't think there is an app that will let you boot the phone with the trackball, but as I stated earlier in the thread you can boot the phone without using the power button (if it breaks completely) by plugging the USB cable into your phone and then removing and reinserting the battery and the USB cable in different orders. I am not sure of the exact order but I have done it many times.
