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

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

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.

Hi, I think if you provide more informations about your problem (procedures that you did exactly) would be better so we can
help you.
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.
Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for your suggestion, but this program "minilyrics" is it a pc app or android app because I didn't found it in playstore (may be country restriction?!).

Quick question anyone using zedge to get wallpapers for the evo 3d? Why when you download the JPG and you run a virus scanner on it shows there is 2 files. Tho there is only one JPG.
I use zedge and will have to check this out now thanks for the heads up

Ya im trying to figure out why that is. You download a JPG you want then when you scan it or scan it be4 downloading it shows it having two files. As far as I know a JPG is one file unless there is something hidden in it.
Hi,
I work at Zedge and asked the main developer about the issue.
We do not download 2 files and we're not sure why you find two files.
If you are using the recovery tool in-app and we can't find any information about one of the pictures we make a new file so we don't have to try again later. But that is only after you use the recovery-tool.
Keep us updated if you find out something more
Sincerely,
Matias

It could be that it downloads the main jpg then crops it to fit our screen thus creating two files. I like and use zedge, great app.

I'll take a pic of it . I was downloading them to my pc and noticed my AntiVirus showed the jpg having two files I thought that was weird. I was using the Microsoft AntiVirus program I always scan before downloading and opening files.
I just thought it was a odd thing . I know jpgs can contain viruses the file from zedge was clean no virus found just weird it has two files. Thanks again for lookin into it.
It's clean its a issue with windows sayin it has two files. Booted into fedora Linux and went into depth of the file all is clean no issues . Anyways thanks again.
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 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

Thanks mate - very useful. Just installed it and will test it on my way back home. Could you please add an information in the first post, that all offline music will be deleted when uninstalling the original app? Hoped that a redownload of all tracks wouldn't be needed but unfortunately it does.
Thank You! Is working just perfect in my VW Passat!

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?

Download from there, as that app only can transfer or downloaf files from pc or to pc.
Play has this app, but it doesn't carry that feature of transferring files pc to mobile nd vice-versa.

Hello, recently I found out about the AMAZING app Timely. It is absolutely beautiful and works great. I really love the default sounds it comes with, and would like to know if I could get one of the alarms as my ringtone. So is there a way to get the music off this app?

Any chance you could re-post that zip file? The only other way to get the sound files appears to be extracting the apk and I'm not sure I know enough to do that successfully.
You can find timely apk file on your device (in /data/app folder), select it and choose to extract (apk is a package like a zip file). All sounds in ogg format are in res/raw folder

I'm pretty crushed that they've stopped supporting Timely, it really was the greatest Alarm Clock Android has ever seen.
Personally I can't find the .apk file on my phone, but I've found a few other places on the net where it can be downloaded and extracted.
There's even a SoundCloud playlist (I can't post links yet, sorry)
The trick for Dalia (My favorite as well) is that the actual file name is "la_gitar.ogg". I had to listen to them all to find which one it was.
Several others have different names in the app versus the actual file name.
Hope this info helps others.
Cheers!
But.....
Could you tell me where you found the file? I've searched, and still can't find it
Thank you for the help! It's very sad that Timely is no longer supported, best clock app on Android, have been using it for years! 5 plus easy! But at least now I can use the alarm sound I'm used to.
Hi All,
I didn't find a way to define the song playing order.
Any chance to use playlist or filenaming rules or alternative player app while running?
The builtin player has only random, repeat and repeat-1 modes. If you want anything different, installing an music APK on watch should work, but as the watch has very little memory it may interfere with other functions and stability. Check another thread with apps compatible with Pace or try to install some by yourself and report back, the more the lightweight the better.
Did you find a solution?
Hi did you ever find a solution to this?
I badly wanna be able to make playlists in my amazfit pace!
Thanks!

Hi I cant download apk from githHub
I may be a bit late, but I think there's a solution to this. At least, it works for me.
Just copy the songs one by one in the desired order, and they will be played like that from the watch app.
