Spotify App with Bluetooth metadata (i.e. album , title , artist ) modification.
Attached is current version @ 4/1/12 (v0.5.4.73) - works perfectly with my Subaru Bluetooth, let me know how you go.
Installation Instructions (from fayez @ spotify):
NOTE: you will have to redownload your music (this may be prevented by manually copying the apk)
1. Download the .apk file and get it onto your phone (you don't need the AVRCP zip file at all - it's for reference only)
2. Uninstall your current version of Spotify
3. Install the custom .apk (you may need to turn on the ability to install from unknown sources first... It's in Settings > Security for me... Make sure to turn it off afterward)
4. Launch the app and log back into your Spotify account and enjoy.
You won't receive update reminders from the Play store, but will need to check manually (if you do see one, let me know so I can patch it. )
Original Post:
Hi guys,
I've been trying to modify the Spotify app so that the title, album and artist information shows up over bluetooth with AVRCP. I found a really helpful site with a patch/diff file showing the smali changes that need to be made. I've had a crack, but I think the current version of Spotify is different to the one the patch was made for.
the patch is set to make changes to one smali file (ad.smali) (smali/com/spotify/mobile/android/service/ad.smali)
however the important parts of that file are now in x.smali (smali/com/spotify/mobile/android/service/x.smali)
Any guidance/help would be appreciated. It frustrates me how my car stereo doesn't show up any useful information (even though it does with the stock music app)
I've attached the original smali, my attempt as well as the patch file.

I've successfully made the old version, works perfectly with my Subaru Bluetooth. I'll keep trying to get the new version working....

Is this the latest 0.5.4.73 build? Does this work on any phone, or in my case the Galaxy S III? Should this thread be moved to general Android dev and not specifically for the Note II?

Yes it is version 0.5.4.73
Yes it should work on any phone (not just the note II)
Yes it should be moved to general android dev (now to work out how to do that )

2 things worth mentioning - it broke facebook authentication for me, but I fixed that by going into my spotify account on their website and generating a device password and using my device username/password.
https://www.spotify.com/us/account/set-device-password/
Secondly, the track progress isn't working on my 2012 VW RNS-315 but the display and controls still work.
Sad how everybody has been asking for this for over a year and Spotify just makes excuses and basically tells everybody it's too hard.
Thanks! Very nice to see this.
I so hope spotify see fit to incorporate this into the official client.
Just one thought -- I also tried the method at http://www.julian-young.com/2011/04/21/finding-the-spotify-external-sd-location/ to move offline storage to sdcard, but the removal of the app to install this one clearly undoes that.
Is there any easy hack to this one to move storage to sd? (again a feature spotify need to put back)?
I realise an alternative is to root and fix up at the filesystem level using links/directory bind, but currently I'm using 2 apps (sky go, pingit) which have some issues with rooted phones (though I may give up on them anyway)

It's strange they removed SD card storage. I use directory binder for that. You could hard code it. I'll look into it.
In terms of track time. It should be possible. I'll have a look into it. I'm pretty new to mucking around with smali though

I works good in my volvo however the meta text updates 10-30 seconds after the new song starts, or if I press Next track button in my car stereo.
To have the meta text update instantly you need to select a song in the spotify app in my android phone.
Anyway, a big THANKS for improving the app!!!

Tried to install this yesterday, but since I have used the mentioned trick to have the music stored on my external card (install old version - change path - upgrade), the installation failed when trying to install this patched version. I guess this has to do with the signing key.
I'm not that familiar with Android development (yet), but I tried to replace the updated version apk with the patched, and it didn't work. Do they have to have the exact same name for this to work?
Is there any other way to replace the currently installed version manually? Would it work if I decompiled/repacked both the old version and the patched one and signed with the same key?
Would really love to have the bluetooth working, but I rate the possibility to have the music stored on SD card higher.
try this

I had problems as well. App did not work when I tried it first.
However it works good now after I installed it again using this procedure:
1. Clear cache / erase data files in : Settings, Apps, Spotify.
2. Uninstall old Spotify.
3. Install new patched App.
4. Login using Spotify username/password (do not login by using Facebook).
Honestly I think it's nuts that someone had to patch this in ahead of Spotify's actual development team.
I appreciate this. Just installed a new head unit and it bothers my OCD that I can't see any metadata.

Yes, I know it works if I unstall first. Sorry if I was unclear.
But since I have used the method of first install an older version to set the offline path to the external card, and then upgrade to the latest verson, I don't think this setting will "survive" if I uninstall first.
Hence, I would like to simply "replace" the currently installed version with the patched apk, without doing an actual install. Is that possible somehow?

This is what I've been waiting for ages!
I tried to set it up with Galaxy Nexus (and VW RCD-510), but no luck so far.. Did you managed to set it up also with Nexus?
Thanks for this! Unfortunately it doesn't work on my Sony MEX-BT4000U head unit though. I completely removed the original version of Spotify (including deleting data and cache) and then installed this version but there's still no track, album or artist information displayed on the unit. Any ideas?

This app is an simple sleep timer.
You can choose 5 to 120 minutes which automaticly closes your running media player.
supportet Players are:
wmplayer
nitrogen
coreplayer
slide2play
manila player
kinoma
currently no supported, but in work:
- HTC FM Radio
- Slacker Radio
It is not pretty, and some bugs may still be in it, because its a beta
Well, feel free to test it.
Suggestions are highly appreciated.
//edit:
UPDATE V0.2.1
added kinoma
Just what I need.
Will be good if it runs like a toggle app instead (running in background)
Yep, I'm working on it. But I have no clue how I make this...
But this function will be included in the next version.
I was expecting this for a long time.
Could you please kindly add Kinoma Play in the list.
Many thanks.
Of course!
btw. in a later version you can choose which programs you want to shut down.
I have add Kinoma. You can download now V0.2.1 from above.
If you think you player has to be in the list, you can make my work easyer by using you favorite taskmanager. I've added my taskmanager too.
Just start your player, minimize it, start the taskmanager and search a process named like you player. Thats the name i need
Tanks alot!
have added it to 1800PocketPC

Great idea. thank you!

And I hope it works
I haven't tested it.
Nice app. Perfect for me as i always slept off when listening to music on the bed
If you don't mind, i have shared your app in wmfreeware.net
Drop me a comment if you have anything to add or in case i have missed out anything.
Thanks for such nice app.
This is great!
The more people use the software, the sooner it is done.
S2P has already a timer (using S2U2), but it's GREAT app !
Congratulations
See you.
Maybe it has a timer... haven't use it
but without s2p, the list will never be complete
but thanks for this hint!
PicHunter,
It works fine with Kinoma Play. Thanks.
This small app is nice and very useful.
Maybe, the graphics could be improved just a little bit... Maybe black instead of white would be nice.
Also,
do you think it is possible to add the htc FM Radio?
thanks
I try to add HTC FM radio, should be not big deal.
wapvirus has already made some graphics, an I will include them in the next time.
Graphics and a minimize function are planned for the next big update.
//Edit:
woops... seems to be a bigger deal then I tought.... HTC FM Radio is closed, but not the sound ? well, I'll work on it.
great ! looking forward to seeing it.
Great to see another app like this. It is very similiar to another app. I use this all the time. Allows you to select 1 running application, doesnt matter what it is. But it hasnt been updated in awhile. Just thought you might want to look at it to get some ideas its called CloseProcess by virgilp.

Yes I used this one also in the past, but as sou said it has not been updated for a while.
The current soft from PicHunter is easier to use I think.
damn... don't know how long it takes with the FM Player. I tryed to find another process, but the only thing what happend is my phone freezes
I think the FM Player uses an WM intern function. Maybe i can shutdown the function, but rings the phone anymore? Maybe it's the right way....

Hi,
The Lenovo Android Tablet is released. It comes with the same n-trig digitizer technology as in the Flyer. It has apps with handwriting recognition such as VisionObjects Notes and maybe DocsToGo ( 5'30": http://androidcommunity.com/lenovo-thinkpad-tablet-hands-on-video-20110719/ ) which are quite handy.
It would be wonderful if our community can extract and port those apps to the Flyer (through ROM or apk). I am not in IT so I hope that the work can be done by someone here.
Cheers.
(I don't know whether the Development Forum is a correct one to post things like this. Mod please move the thread to other forums if necessary.)

Edit: I just took the notesmobile_len-oem.apk and notesmobile_len-data-de_DE.apk(for german language) from the dumb.
They installed fine on my GB 2.3.3 Flyer but once I'm starting the app it ays that this version of notes mobile is not compatible with my device.
Could someone simply check if it works on a HC flyer?
Edit2: Just removed the device check... However - it still crashes right after start - anyone who wants to try my version without device check? Maybe it is running on honeycomb.
cool software.hope can get it soon
I hope someone will do it, it seems great.
Well - like I said:
I can share the notesmobile apk to anyone who is running honeycomb on the flyer.
I eventually also removed the device check.
But since I haven't moved to honeycomb yet - I can't try. :-/

Please, do it! A lot of people have already moved to HC
Try the following:
1. Install Notesmobile_len_oem.apk
2. Install the language pack (eg notesmobile_len-data-en_GB.apk)
3. Put the two lib files in your "system/lib" folder if possible
4. Run the notesmobile application for the first time. --> If you get a "device not supported error" continue with 5.
5. Uninstall notesmobile (keep the language pack and lib files in place)
6. Install notesmobile_len-oem-signed.apk
7. Run the notesmobile app (this version should ignore the device check)
@Himmig, got FC on process com.visionobjects.notesmobile_len
I also got the same force close.
I wanna know can man use it on GB?

Anybody tried WritePad, and another one is PenReader? It seems to be a pretty decent handwriting recognition app. It works like a keyboard, so can be used in any app. I hope it will be even much better on the Flyer with Honeycomb.
Anybody using Flyhigh ROM has been succesful to run this application?
well the problem is the following;
1. The flyer has 2 x touch film layers which work on different voltage readings. However the main touchscreen has the ability to detect both voltges, and hence why it can trigger into notepad mode when the pen nibbles touches the screen.
2. The the application itself is designed to work on a different android framework... This would need to be modified to sense.framework as otherwise they just won't compile well together. You also have to modify the application source code to accept the pen voltages instead of fingers...
Unless you want to use fingers too? If so that is another bastard in itself to set up with the pencils interface.
I've tried with SBM to see if the pen could be modified to write with it etc, and but failed, and hence I believe we need afew development to work on this.
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda premium
update your flyer to HC and buy writepad : you won't need to port this app anymore
Are people trying to get Notes Mobile to work or the handwriting recognition text input to work? Or both?
For those still getting force closes on Notes Mobile, I monitored logcat and found that you need to push the following into /system/lib/:
libMyScriptEngine.so, libMyScriptHWR.so, and libStylusCore.so
If you're running Himmig's modified apk, then it should be fine. If you're just using the apk straight from the system dump, then build.prop needs to spoof the Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet.
I've been playing with Notes Mobile on my Flyer for a couple of days, and handwriting recognition is quite spiffy. As a note-taking app, I still like HTC Notes better since it syncs with Evernote and it's just integrated better. You could export to HTC Notes from Notes Mobile though.
I actually don't know if the handwriting IME is part of the system dump. Is it there?
Thanks for the input mate... I should have looked at logcat :-/
I'll try if it works and see if the modified apk is able to surpass the device check... however - could you post your build prop modifications?
hi,
this tutorial quoted from HTC one x thread (thanks to mr1029x) and this is the thread.
Somehow HTC (or GraceNote music database?!) didn't allowed to download the lyrics for some countries (geographic limitation!! may be),
so for those how didn't work the lyrics in the sense 5 stock music player, they have 2 solution:
1. MANUEL: this method quoted from HTC one x thread (all thanks to mr1029x) and i tested with success:
FIRST, go on the internet and search for the song's lyrics. Remember, if you want it to works properly, you need to findtwo types of lyrics: the normal text one, and synchronized one which is found in .lrc file types.
The first normal text ones are easy to find through famous sites such as metrolyrics or azlyrics,etc..
The .lrc files are a bit harder looking up and not always available on the internet. You could learn how to make one yourself right here
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Personally, I used app from playstore called "KiePlayer" which download and generate a *.lrc file(synchronized lyric file) for your musics.
SECOND, create a notepad and paste the normal lyrics that you found to there, save the file without any extension, name it "Songfilename"_lyric (without quote).
In the same way, copy the content of the synchronized lyrics to notepad, save the file without any extension, name it"Songfilename"_lrc (LRC not IRC and without qoute).
For example, If your song file name is ABC.mp3, name the files ABC_lyric and ABC_lrc
THIRD, plug the phone into your computer, copy two files that you've created to:
Computer\HTC One X\Internal storage\Android\data\com.htc.musicenhancer\files\. albumarts\storage_external\Music
Remember, look for a file name Songfilename_not_available in that directory, if it exists, delete it
Enjoy
Note:
The _lrc file is required for the lyrics to pop up while you're playing music, if you don't want it, then you don't have to create
Try to google search "filetype:lrc Song Name" if you don't find any synchronized lyrics with normal searching
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2. AUTOMATIC: download any VPN changer app from playstore (i tested the "TunnelBear" app with success), then change the VPN to US or UK then go to your music player and activate the automatic lyrics download and that's it, you will see all your lyrics of your musics (if they already found in the "GraceNote music database") displayed in your music player, then you can dis-activate your VPN app (this method need to be activated ONLY ONE TIME).
thanks
help me
please make screen shot or video tutorial. i did. but not working.
Thanks for this!
By the way, if you guys want lrc files, I'd suggest a program called minilyrics. It works with iTunes and downloads user-created lrc files that you can edit yourself. It's free too, and it's the way I get lrc files.

I think it didn't need screenshots or video tutorials, because it is a very simple procedure, and if you had any problem with the first procedure you can use the second one.

minilyrics is a PC app. You can use it to download LRC files to transfer to your phone.
I would like to see an app that on first run saves a list of the Artist & Title to either an online text file like paste bin or local file that can be backed up.
And possibly on preceding runs have it compare which music files are removed/added and put a "+" or "-" before the the name.
I would try making this but to be honest I don't know what to do, and currently I'm way to busy to start trying to learn.
Any developers interested in helping me with this little app?
I've recently started programming for android and am happy to help. I have started work on your application and will keep you updated.
EDIT: Here is the first version with the basic functions you requested. Let me know how it works and how it can be improved.

Wow thank you so much. Seems to work great so far, I'll keep you posted if anything changes though
This is all based on personal opinions and experiences. I mean no offense to any of the developers. None of this should be taken as an insult, because it's not intended to be.
Tizen:
- Stock: It's pretty much as you'd expect. Mostly useless without a phone, especially now when most services have stopped working. Installing .wgt files only works through SDB. There are a few useful ones, like a file manager, a pdf viewer, some games, Opera and a few others. Weather doesn't seem to be working anymore, neither does Here Maps. You also can't add contacts, which is quite frustrating, even in "standalone mode".' I've never tried to install a .tpk file, but i doubt it works, since nobody ever mentioned it working in all these years. Battery live never was good on this, like, in general. Barely holds a day.
- Standalone Tizen Rooted: I have never tested it. Afaik you can add and remove contacts. I don't know much more about it. The download link was removed. (If anyone has a link, please post it in the replies for archival purposes.)
Android 5.1.1:
- BlueMix: I've just installed it and at the first glance it's pretty good. It runs overall nice, has a different boot animation and bluetooth actually works (wireless headphones, sending and receiving files, connecting to phones and computers). It's generally fast but it has a rather weird lag when pulling down the quick pannel IF there is a bluetooth headset connected. There are way too many useless icons on the quick pannel also. Battery life is just as bad as on Tizen, as in if you're actually doing something, literally anything on it, you can see the percentage go down. But it's advertised as having better battery life than CM12.1, so idk. Could be better. Sound is fine, internet is fine, everything seems overall fine so far. Nothing to complain, except for the navbar not having the "hide" button (can't be added either), so i'll most likely install Ultimate Dynamic Navbar in the future and disable the stock navbar.
- CM12.1: I have never tested it. Will test soon-ish, when i'll have time.
Android 6.0.1:
- Android Wear: I have never tested it. Will test soon-ish, when i'll have time.
Kernels:
- Bluemix (06.07.2016): As i said above, everything seems to be fine. Smooth performance, whatever battery life. Cannot charge through the external battery from inside the cradle, only works plugged into a wall socket, but "x minutes until full" works perfectly, so that's a plus.
- CM12.1 (15.07.2016 "Broken Bluetooth-Vibration"): Haven't tested it and i don't think i will either.
- Custom (02.04.2018): Supposedly fixes everything, but haven't tested it yet. Will test soon-ish, when i'll have time.
well i have most of the custom versions of android 5.1 and the kernels files , for the android 6 too , tbh still the most stable version is bluemix , for the rooted stand alone version i didn't find it either no new links no new developpement :/ except am struggling with the battery barely holds a day i don't know how people managed to make it last more than six hours , if u have the bluemix kernel share it with me , i would share all the roms i have with u
i think the battery problem is bcz of kernel , kind of i have to find a stable one , i have two versions of kernel but none of them are good tbh since the battery just drop so fast , tried the cm12 kernel , the battery seems to be 100% then just drop to 40% or 5% or something like that in seconds
Hi! Do you still have the file to BlueMix? I can't seem to find any post for that. Thank you!
Hey Mrmeko, could you provide the file for the bluemix rom. Thank would be amazing. What guide should I use to install it? It's been very long time

Battery life is just as bad as on Tizen, as in if you're actually doing something, literally anything on it, you can see the percentage go down. But it's advertised as having better battery life than CM12.1, so idk. Could be better. Sound is fine, internet is fine, everything seems overall fine so far. Nothing to complain, except for the navbar not having the "hide" button (can't be added either), so i'll most likely install Ultimate Dynamic Navbar in the future and disable the stock navbar.
- CM12.1: I have never tested it. Will test soon-ish, when i'll have time.
Android 6.0.1:
- Android Wear: I have never tested it. Will test soon-ish, when i'll have time.
Kernels:
- Bluemix (06.07.2016): As i said above, everything seems to be fine. Smooth performance, whatever battery life. Cannot charge through the external battery from inside the cradle, only works plugged into a wall socket, but "x minutes until full" works perfectly, so that's a plus.
- CM12.1 (15.07.2016 "Broken Bluetooth-Vibration"): Haven't tested it and i don't think i will either.
- Custom (02.04.2018): Supposedly fixes everything, but haven't tested it yet. Will test soon-ish, when i'll have time.

You're welcome.
I added some other possibly useful things i had laying around in my Gear S folder and which i'm sure their other download links are dead.
Is there any possibility that you might have the Tizen Rooted ROM?

Unfortunately I don't have the rooted Tizen for Gear S. I do have Wear OS rom for Gear 2 though, if you ever need that?

No, thanks though.
I mean, the links are still available. Downloaded all important versions right now, just in case they ever go down, i'll still have them archived.
Maybe you have some other rare ROMs? Like the MIUI for the original Galaxy Gear? Or some other ROM that nobody ever heard of for the Gear/Gear2/GearS?
