Good evening!
If you're reading this, then you for sure know what Spotify is. We all love listening to music and, ugh, that's the synonym of Spotify!

Unfortunately, this work could be used for two fully opposite reasons, one of which is against the XDA rules, so I had no other choice but to close this thread (and remove links). I hope you understand me and sorry for the inconvenience.
Feel free to read the history below. It was a fun ride!


Time ago, the app landed on our lovely Android platform for both tablets and phones and honestly who wasn't excited?
Soon after, forced shuffle mode and limited number of skips were also introduced and I agree that there must be a reason to purchase Premium after all. Luckily, this restriction was not enabled on tablets, but a problem that appears is that far from all tablets are detected as ones - mainly the "smaller" ones. This [bug/miss-code] activates the restriction on your tablet, and as a fix was needed from either side, here was my solution.

This mod was created for all those "small tablets" that are incorrectly recognized so that you can use Spotify the way it was meant to be used.


Regarding Facebook log in issue:
The signature/private hash (or not) of this app was not matching the original one Spotify had registered on Facebook. Absolutely understandable since this was a modified version.
As suggested by Romain12345 (thank you!), can you log in with your Facebook credentials instead of clicking on the "Log in with Facebook" button.

MEGA is never down, it only needs the app for android if you want to download from phone. That's the reason I personally won't mirror.
About installing, you need to have "Unknown sources" enabled in your Security settings. Then just open the APK and install it as normal. If you still can't figure it out check YouTube for thousands of tutorials.

I've downloaded the apk for mega, and also tried to access the website. But it refuses to open the website or allow me to login to the app. Hence the servers are actually down. Op if possible can u post it on a different cloud?. Thank you for this amazingly brilliant apk!:)

@ViRb3 It doesn't work on gingerbread android again...
I think it's a problem of apk version because on Google play it was written that the version varies with device.
So please If you give me your email, I'll send the last apk version of spotify compatible with gingerbread to you.

Op finally I got it downloaded. Thanks so much but I have a question. Is it possible for me to download for offline for free with this mod?

Absolutely not. I am not "hacking" Spotify and making it Premium-free and that will never be my aim. I am just making it possible to run in tablet mode on smaller tables.

    Well I will post a quick tut:
    Look up how to decompile and compile apk files with apktool. This is useful for more than just this.

    NOTE: before this stuff will work I think that you may have to install java
    Download apktool
    For these instructions I will assume that the spotify apk you are modifying is called "com.spotify.music.apk"
    Decompile the spotify .apk with command "apktool.bat d com.spotify.music.apk"
    You will get a folder with the same name as the apk with a bunch of files in it
    Use some program (i used notepad++) to search all the files inside the "smali" folder in this folder for "const v1, 0x7f090007"
    You should (hopefully) find some code that looks like this:
    Code:
    .method public static c(Landroid/content/Context;)Z
        .locals 2
        .parameter
    
        .prologue
        .line 72
        invoke-virtual {p0}, Landroid/content/Context;->getResources()Landroid/content/res/Resources;
    
        move-result-object v0
    
        const v1, 0x7f090007
    
        invoke-virtual {v0, v1}, Landroid/content/res/Resources;->getBoolean(I)Z
    
        move-result v0
    
        return v0
    .end method
    Change it so that it looks like this:
    Code:
    .method public static c(Landroid/content/Context;)Z
        .locals 1
        .parameter
    
        .prologue
        const/4 v0, 0x1
    	
        return v0
    .end method
    Save the file
    Recompile the apk with command "apktool b com.spotify.music"
    Look in the "com.spotify.music" folder inside the "dist" folder and you will see the compiled apk
    Now you will need to sign the apk or you will get an error when installing. (There are probably many ways to do this but I am just going to tell you how I have been doing it because I don't remember how I figured this out.)
    Download this testsign thing: https://mega.co.nz/#!tcJDlLpZ!n9nWfhpok2LT2i-ObB-mAlK3XG5yKEXdN4q9Iz_-2i0
    Extract to some folder
    drag the .apk you made onto testsign.bat
    If everything worked ok you should now have a modified spotify apk that you can install.

    I believe that what this is doing is replacing some function that is asking android if your device is a tablet with some code that just always returns true.
