For those that do not care about spotify connect and are using android lolipop - if this version doesn't work for you use the O/P's version. Mine is patched with the same mods (as they have been duplicated by the O/P), but mine has spotify connect 'FULLY' patched + FWD button for non tablet devices. (OP's version isn't).

Look m8, I don't want to need to protect the app - but what other alternative is there to stop other people cloning my mods? Why should I spend hours going through thousands of files and testing things only to have someone else copying the mods and then claiming they did them? If other people want to mod Spotify they are free to do this - nobody is stopping them, but they will need to find their own places to patch - then they deserve the credit they get, but just copying from someone else's work and then giving no credit to anyone else is lame,

If you really need no ads, spotify connect you can pay for the app or use the last full version I posted as this was not protected and works fine on your android version. There's nothing much changed from that version to this anyway so you're not missing anything.


Sorry, I didn't mean to cause offence - I fully understand your frustration at your hard work getting cloned and due credit and respect not been given to you.

Yes, I can and have reverted back to v6.3, but my point was about going forward into future versions - is there a way your work could be protected but works on all devices?

I would like to test MrDude's version but unfortunately as said above this version is provided with a protected module not compatible with Android 5.0...

I understand MrDude's point of view ...but what is the aim to share quality modded releases of Spotify if we can't use/install them ? I have the feeling that Mobilism forum's users are taken in hostage. What a pity.


I can use it ... Don't know why you think you have been taken hostage... (Ransomware?)
If you can see his point, why do you still cry about it?
Yes sadly it can't be used with lolipop ... But you still have the one by koumkouat.
Nobody is forcing you to use any of the apps posted here.

Bottom line: koumkouat's version installs but has visual ads and mrdude's version refuses to install on Android 5.0.

Any ideas for a way forward?


Hmmm ... Using koumkouat version? using a older, but still functioning version? paying for premium? There are many ways



Anyway... Everyone crying about the protected or not fully ad free versions.
Wait for a poper modded version that works or ... well pay for it.
You get a piece of hard work for free and that is still not enough?

I don't even wanted to ...
I was lucky since I updated my rom a week before the protected mod.

But already the last time everyone turned against the protecting of his modded apk.
Even if they told the same moment, they can understand mrdude ...
I am not sure, but even they were understanding they were raging ...
Instead of being happy to have any modded client ... for free ... "demanding" to have a unprotected version ... DEMANDING!! really?

In germany we have a saying(proverb, old saw?):
If you give someone one finger, they still take the whole hand...

Mr Dude, I understand your point of view but in the hacked community we have an ethical principle to give someone's work proper credits. If you have evidences (I do believe so) why not ask a moderator from Mobilism to chase people with such unethical behaviors.
I dont think that to take Mobilism users in hostage is a good way to handle that situation. We all apreciate your valuable work but please share your work/finding with valuable Mobilism users too.

What are you talking about - who's holding anyone hostage? I've shared my version - only protected it from being easy to copy, and to be honest at the end of the day - I can patch an apk anyway I want without anyone's permission - so if I want to protect it I will. Also I don't need to share it with anyone, I'm sharing it because I want to and if you want to use it fine, and if not - don't.

Yes I can easily prove my mods are cloned by the O/P of this thread, but he doesn't care and I doubt the mods or admin do either to be honest. Also the apk gets downloaded on this site - decompiled and compared to an untouched version to see what files are modded, then the same mods can be applied to newer versions - and released with zero credits.

The APK changed in this release and the last beta - and the audio/video mods were new and not public (until I released the apk) - as the functions have changed (in a binary file), it still never stopped the O/P of this thread doing a byte compare with an original binary to see what hex patterns to check for - then look for those in this new version and patch with the same byte patches. The only reason that spotify connect hasn't been patched properly by the O/P is that he doesn't know what smali files I modded in this release as the apk code has changed, and since that change I protected them to make it harder to find - all the other patches to those smali files are patched in the EXACT same way as I patch them, so anyone who can decompile and apk and check the O/P's versions and my versions can see the files are patched in the EXACT same way.

Anyway enough about that, just know that ALL future release by me until I feel the urge not to protect them - WILL be protected and any whinging/complaining is falling on deaf ears. if you have a version of android that doesn't work with a protected apk - unlucky but you can blame the O/P for that, maybe I'll protect the apk differently in future and maybe I won't.

@ koumkouat
Great work! Please continue your work and if possible find a way to fix the connected option of Spotify with the Chromecast (CC) Audio as it is in grey right now - same problem for Mr Dude's version. If you can fix it ...it will proove Mr Dude that you are also a valuable modder. I can do test if you need in the case you don't have CC audio.

CC video (with HDMI) is working great - option is granted from Spotify apk. I don't care about ads - I understand the CC needs also to be patched to avoid them.

Right now, you are the ONE who can purpose modded Spotify compatible with Android 5.0 as your modded versions of Spotifiy are all compatible with Android whatever the version. It's worth to be noted!
