That's not going to happen - because you can still use the app with a premium account and that button is needed. If you want to mod this yourself feel free - but I won't be doing that.

I get the point kinda.. but why would someone that already has premium use a mod? Maybe they plan to cancel the premium and next month they already use the mod? Idk doesn't make much sense to me.. Anyway this latest mod test 3 is working perfectly for me.


Yeah, that's what I was initially thinking. If you have premium, wouldn't you use the unmodded app?

So i tried on my regular device and my older device no login issues but with crashes and ads will have to use for sometime but so far none has occurred. Also gave this version to my friend too who was still having login issues with the previous test version.

Maybe some people switch between accounts, also perhaps someone has a mod to allow downloads? just saying..... :D

For some people Spotify won't work due to country restrictions - or android device issues or android versions being unsupported. For most though, it should be fine. Your friend should just use an older version that works.

Also the new version 8.5.54.869 is already patched - but Spotify have removed voice searching from that - so I won't release as the current version has that working. Probably if the mod3 is working fine - that will be my last mod of this for about 6 months or so (unless Spotify bring out some new killer feature).

As long as it's working for me it's fine by me but my friend's device is relatively new to my older device and my older device isn't of any brand just a local shitty company phone hahah but whatever and yeah you shouldn't release the new version they haven't fixed minor bugs (following bug) from this version and now no voice search so definitely no point.

Maybe they are prepping for this new layout... https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EUtd4zLUUAIdbAy?format=jpg&name=small. But who knows when that will roll out.

Android 10, Pixel 2 XL, (No log in issues, tho I have noticed log in changes the location from apk to apk, which I found weird)

Also, Mod3 works perfect for me. The Repack gave me a random 10 second ad at start up , just once. Haven't seen it since, but ya. And the original version (from this thread) worked well 99% with occasional crash at the start. Only at the start, and was fine after it was open and running.

Please test this version - hopefully it should fix the crashes (not sure if login will still work on your older device as I can't test that).

There's a couple of files changed that deals with ads, but it could be that these break login....or not.

I wish there was an easy way to try modding it... I'd give it a try to simply try hiding text (if that's all it is). You'd think with a global pandemic and being locked at home, I'd find the time to learn.

I think Spotify provides the best ui among it`s competitors so they should really work on the stability of an app and bringing out new features which are actually useful. Ui wise i liked tidal too maybe cause it`s just a copy of Spotify but with better dark mode. Wish there was mod for tidal too.

Sounds perfect to me!

And only mod Spotify again when a major update releases, yeah that sounds awesome 8)

Maybe that ad was downloaded previously and stored in cache - did you do a clean install? I've not got any ad issues - however I've deleted that version from my device now as I didn't need it.

Also @RishavG, maybe your friend is using an ad blocker - if any spotify servers are blocked - you can't login and the app can crash. Spotify added that to the code - that's why previous mod versions were crashing, ads weren't being downloaded - but the app was trying to run them at select intervals, as there was no ad to run it caused the app to crash. That's how Spotify got around ad blockers. New patches try and prevent this - by modding the code to allow the ads to download, but block the timers so the ad doesn't play. Maybe that's why when the app first starts a small ad is played - then never again after this.

To be perfectly honest - Someone can make a new topic if they want, I couldn't care less as I don't put mods on money making links or do any mods for profit etc... I also don't particularly care if anyone uses the mods, but I know that for a lot of people that music can make a difference to their mental well being - and that some music can lift your mood etc.

Some people just can't afford to pay for a streaming service and would rather spend their money on their children or food etc - that's why you get these mods from me. If I've already modded - I don't see an issue with sharing with people that are grateful. However....the site does have some gelatinous inter-dimensional spunk trumpets, these people should not be allowed to mate with other beings, hopefully the will become extinct from the gene pool one day....anyway I digress....feel free to post if you want to. Only remember to credit Balatan & Me....that's just common courtesy.

Yeah the crashes are definitely related to ads maybe that`s why even on untouched version some does not face crashes but other does cause maybe they are using adblockers in their phone and that`s what happened with me on mod lite it crashed once at start and never crashed again.

Spotify is stupid though, if their server goes down or is unreachable or you lose your mobile/wifi signal - it can cause the app to crash.....their devs are retarded to not put error checking into the code to prevent this.
