*ROOT ONLY* US & International Bypass on how to use fully functioning Milk Music (Samsung) on any device :

As you probably know, Milk Music is Samsung's free, stylish radio akin to Pandora, and Slacker. Milk Music is actually powered by Slacker Radio itself. There's a catch in order to use it

however, you must have a Samsung device. I'm going to show you how to pose as a Samsung Galaxy S4 to bypass the limitations and use Milk Music.

1. Download and install Milk Music from here : http://d-h.st/ADR

2. Download and install SamsungAccount from here : http://d-h.st/PGq (Only needed to enable explicit songs and sync stations)

3. Make an account using the SamsungAccount app located in Settings > Accounts. (IF YOU WANT TO ENABLE EXPLICIT SONGS AND HAVE THE ABILITY TO SYNC STATIONS! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!)

4. Open up your favorite text editor, and navigate to your build.prop file and open it, make a backup.

5. Modify these lines as follows...

ro.product.model=Nexus 5
ro.product.brand=google
ro.product.manufacturer=LG

TO

ro.product.model=Galaxy S4
ro.product.brand=Samsung
ro.product.manufacturer=Samsung

5a. Reboot as normal and launch Milk Music!

CONTINUE ONLY IF YOU DO NOT LIVE IN THE USA!

6. This normally only works for people with an IP address in the United States range. However there's a free VPN service called Spotflux on the App Store. Download and enable it and launch

Milk. I'm from the United States, so I wasn't able to test this but there is no logical reason this should not work as the VPN gives you an IP from the US. If it doesn't work from here, post

in this thread and I will try to help you to the best of my ability.

Notes* :

1. You are allowed six skips an hour per station.
2. The app may lock up and crash occasionally. Just force close and clear data. You'll lose all information unless you've followed step 2 above.
3. Don't forget to seed your station with artists and songs that you like so you are more likely to find what you want to hear.
4. You can change audio quality from the default Standard quality to High Quality in the settings of Milk Music.


(I'm sure I forgot something but this is the gist of the thread, and should be all you need to run this, if I missed something or messed up I will fix it as soon as I realize/ it is brought

to my attention.)

Additional notes : anything that relies on build . prop settings to detect things like FKU or GooManagers TWRP installer will not work until original build . prop is restored. I'm looking for a way to make it so it's spoofed only for Milk Music and not the entire system. Thanks.

their is a paid app in the play store that will spoof your device and allow you to backup your old device profile. However it's based on build.props from other people who have backed up their device...there were 3 "S3' profiles and one of them worked :p I listened to mik music a lot on my LG G Pro using this app ;) However it did bork bluetooth and create a bluetooth enable loop..so DO NOT TURN ON BLUETOOTH using this app until you spoof back. Bluetooth will work fine after that.

Off topic; thanked OP for samsung account apk. needed it for S5 S-Translate on Note 3 ;)

This is very cool. Please forgive me if this is not supposed to be posted here. Before this I saw an xposed module called Chocolate Milk which is supposed to allow you to use Milk Music as well. Has anyone here tried Chocolate Milk and if so, which method would be easier to use Milk Music and does changing the information in the build prop affect your device in any other way? Please forgive the noob question.
Thanks

Chocolate Milk 1.0 currently from the Xposed Module repository works perfectly and will negate having to spoof the build.prop I will upload and link to it for posterity.

If Chocolate Milk hasn't been updated yet, you're sadly going to have to modify your build.prop using the original method. I'd recommend spoofing as the S5 so that most apps will still appears in the Play Store.

Hmm. I had issues when I was using the newer apks and the newer chocolate milk. But, once I installed the apks from this post and the 1.0 module, it worked. I would try uninstalling and trying again. Make sure xposed is working properly and that the module is activated. Then install the other apps. Make sure you create a Samsung account as well.

problems editing build.prop

I can edit my build.prop but it will not save, no matter what program i use. I have an lg g3, rooted. I know this is a nexus thread but whatever. Whenever i delete the model name it only lets me input "galaxy" past that the letters are unseen. Same with when i try to put in. Samsung to replace LGE it only allows me to enter in "sam". Any ideas? It also wont let me save.

As an alternate method of getting Samsung Milk on your device, here's a thread with a patched APK. No root required, no build.prop editing required either. Just sideload the patched app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/milk-music-devices-root-required-t2847943
http://nexus5.wonderhowto.com/how-t...music-app-any-android-no-root-needed-0158456/


As an aside, has anyone seen a way to get the new "Milk VIDEO" app onto non-Samsung devices? Via an Xposed mod or patch? Even a source for the APK itself would be nice:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.milk.milkvideo
