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 )
edit: I think a mod needs to move it.... (thanks in advance)
Thanks muzicman

THANK YOU!!! Works beautifully on my HTC Sensation 4G with CM10. I had come across the mod you used as your source a few weeks ago and was sorely disappointed when it didn't work. Not any more!

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?
If possible I am asking those of you with TWRP, root and backed up Le Max 2 phones to test and see if this method will enable Camera 2 API and provide full manual control to this best price - performance ratio phone.
Make sure to have a recent BACKUP before trying this mod !!! It involves editing the build.prop file.
DISCLAIMER:
Do not attempt if you do not know what you are doing!
http://androiding.how/enable-camera2api-manual-focus-aperture-exposure-raw-dslr-features-android/
You can test the success with Manual Camera Test app on the google playstore
Has anyone tried these APIs?
Nice, now I can shoot RAW pictures and get some manual things. I use Le max 2 and Cuoco92 rom and this enabling of camera2api doesn´t break the stock camera app on my device.
So it works for you? Thanks for your feedback!
My Le Max 2 is on the way and I wanted to find out if it works for our device.
I am amazed NO ONE else has tried a rather simple procedure which could take 10 - 15 minutes of their time.
With this kind of community, our device will lack development if no one shares experience and leaves their input.
Regards to all member of our subforum.
I am very eager to test it but right now I am stack with Indian rom and stupid encryption and can't do anything!!!
OK,after fixing the problem with the Indian rom stack,i have test it and works fine,i am now on 15s Chinese stock.Default camera works
Awesome! It will enable us to use advanced shutter functions for better low light and night photography and RAW too ! You can use free Camera 2 API-enabled apps now.

In case you yet to receive, i suggest not to upgrade from 14s until u root your device. OR built a rooting tool for most of us who are not willing to root once after updating 15s security patch :crying:
Best Regards
@neo299 Awesome !!
Thanks for highlighting this tip once more !! It makes an already good camera even better.
@EverPing My pleasure! It will make our phones more awesome and useful. With manual camera controls, we can make amazing photos even in low-light and night time conditions. Win-win for all of us
Hi
It seems it doesn't work here...
I edited t the build prop file as described in the link and installed the he recommended app.
On main camera all I get is a black screen ?
Maybe I should try another a app but don't know which one I should get to test it out...
Regards
What ROM are you using?

Been using this trick for a couple of weeks now. It's not that no one else has tried this, only that there are not many people on xda lemax 2 forums, most are on letv.re or spanish htcmania.
So, camera2 api is working on EUI roms? Because on Mokee it doesn't. It is activated in build.prop but when i try to use some camera app that work with camera2 api - crash, or blank screen etc.
Sent from my Le X820 using Tapatalk
camera2api raw mode does work on the latest .19s rom. However, the only camera app that works perfectly for me on my x820 is the Footej Camera on Playstore. Lightroom mobile detected the .dng perfectly at about 40mb for RAW and after you edited and save it, the jpg is 20mb

Hello,
Lots of devices from low to mid-end range don't have gyroscope installed, and thanks to that have AR capabilities severely decrased.
I'm working on Xpose module that uses Accelerometer and Magnetic Field Sensor to simulate Gyroscope output.
Module works by creating new Sensor instance and injecting it into SystemSensorManager sensor list after its constructor, so getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_GYROSCOPE) will return it.
Module registers then SensorEventListeners for accel and magnet sensors and does it's calculations on accelerometers update and calls onSensorChanged of listener that uses it.
I'm still working on calculating velocities properly and getting good quality noise-free output. I did some progress on this but it still does not work as intended. (rotation directions seem correct, or maybe are swapped or inverted, but that can by easily fixed, problem is with values, which are simply wrong.) Testing it is a problem though, since I don't own any device with actual gyro, so I'll be gratefull for any feedback.
xda won't let me post normal link yet, so here is repo: https://github.com/Mourdraug/GyroEmu/
And here is apk: https://github.com/Mourdraug/GyroEmu/raw/master/app/GyroEmu_0.1.apk
Woah, i thought that was impossible. Continue bro, this'll be an interesting module..[emoji106]

Just use an app that reads your hardware so you are on the safe side
Kinscreen, an app to keep screen on by positions and other related screen-on/screen-off functions, original complained about lack of gyro. Upgraded version got around this, works like a charm. Might have done the same as this module.

I was wondering if there is a good working Google camera available for this device?
I didn't get any of the cameras from the repository to work except for a very primal port from Arnova. Still the image quality is better than the main cam.
Edit: found one.
Check for this one
cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v3.9test.apk
Edit 2: I use the following settings as attached. I use the hexagon dsp in the settings too, if that makes a difference.
I was unable to find it for my vivo nex. I installed number of different version from different developers.
Nothing worked.
Hope someone finds it or makes one.

Stark makes these ports specifically for LG devices with a "wide" angle dedicated camera. We don't have one. You installed the wide angle camera. Copy and search for the exact specific version that I mentioned.

Hello.
Let's hunt for the best Google Camera Mod for Redmi Note 10.
Hello everyone.
I tried many GCam's for Redmi Note 10 and none of them are working that good. The problem is if you install the latest Google Camera mod versions like 8.1 you aren't going to get any better results than stock camera.
I tried the below GCam and I somehow got what I wanted. Checkout if it works for you also but there's a catch. Video doesn't work and camera crashes for me and wait for few seconds and it will work again if it crashes.
I personally install Google Camera for photography that's why I don't care about video not working if you also don't care about it then go for it. It has far better processing than latest GCam's.
If you somehow figured it out how to solve video crash problem. Do share here and if there is any better option than this then share please.
Thanks..
