This is a mod of the Spotify Lite v0.6.6. The official Spotify app for Wear OS is not able to stream music standalone. Sideloading any Spotify works but the UI is obviously giant on Wear OS - see this recent Spotify screenshot from Wear OS.
It's possible to change system wide density but it takes away the usability and look of Wear OS. I did a quick experiment with pure resource mod and it works surprisingly nice so I'm sharing it with you. Downscaling other well written apps is therefore possible.
What it took:
Replace all sizes (dip/sp in layouts, dimens etc.) - I divided them by 2
Few quick fixes - set bottom tab layout alignment to center instead of fill, set custom height for actionBarSize, set horizontal margin for toolbar (so far only on Home screen)
It takes only quite a few commands to create such downscaled modded app. The current version of the size replacement script is really ugly and slow but I think that it would make a great universal script/tool for conversion of any user app (right?)...

Spotify Lite mod is attached to this post. (Lite version doesn't support offline playback but the whole app is supposed to be snappy.)
Full version of modded Spotify (8.4.62.490) is available from mega.nz or AndroidFileHost. Mod v2 (improved top toolbar): mega.nz or AndroidFileHost.
Here's the raw (but trivial) tool - WearModder.jar
How to use it:
Code:
# Decompile apk
java -jar apktool_2.3.3.jar d spotify-lite.apk
# Mod resources (use directory or individual files as arguments)
java -jar WearModder.jar spotify-lite/res
# Perform additional manual tweaks
# Build apk
java -jar apktool_2.3.3.jar b spotify-lite
# Sign
keytool -genkey -v -keystore my-release-key.keystore -alias alias_name -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000
jarsigner -verbose -sigalg SHA1withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore my-release-key.keystore spotify-lite/dist/spotify-lite.apk alias_name
WearModder modifies all files in-place so do not run it more than once on the same files (d'oh). Feel free to try modding your favorite apps and let me know how well it works.
Update 2018/10/04: Uploaded mod of Spotify Lite v0.9.5.
Chech also uploads of others who shared their (newer) versions.
This is probably the coolest thing I've seen here for a while! If this app would have existed when I had my Huawei Watch, I probably wouldn't have sold it!
GJ. This could be a game changer for Wear OS. Sad that such things doesn't come from Google directly.
I want to see more screenshots of such apps!
Great! It's possibile to download offline music using a premium account?
Thanks
Amazing job!
I am testing this like for an hour now and well it is buttery smooth on my old but amazing Huawei Watch.
I used Wearify (third party app) for spotify music on my watch without the phone but this app was limited to playlists only.
With this solution i can search for music on my watch and play them. and it works really well.
only think to note for people with spotify premium:
I have spotify premium but it shows only the option to shuffle play and i CANNOT save music for offline playback.
but still i wasn't expecting offline playback. only think i expected was a horrible but at least working search button.
But while it is true that it works, it is such an amazing smooth experience so well done!

You can't with Spotify Lite yet
Could you do the same with the normal Spotify app? So that we get offline playback! Thanks!
I'm not a Spotify subscriber but I will try modding the full version of Spotify next (I'm really curious how well it will go). I have just learned that there is "Wearify for Spotify" (also online only) so something for actual offline playback is welcome I guess.
How can i install it? Thanks

I've been working on offline playback but that's sadly not that easy, current download implementation consists of ripping the audio stream and saving it as ogg file, works but slow since 1h of music takes 1h to download. And obviously I can't put that on the play store. If you're interested feel free to look at the source.
This is great. Especially useful for people with sim-enabled watches such as the LG Watch Sport.
@moneytoo there's a request a few threads down of trying to use the Polar Flow wear apk (not the full phone one) on Wear OS watches that aren't the M600. Because the apk is only designed for the M600 which has a 240x240 display, all the elements are off place on watches with other res displays. Would you be able to take a quick looksy and see if you could work your magic on resizing the apk for other watches? In this case the resolution actually needs to be scaled up.
Would love to be able to use the Flow apk on my LG Watch Sport which has a 480x480 screen.
I can help provide the most up to date apk if needed.
If anyone has connectivity issues with this mod, this is because of a missing wear connectivity API implementation in this phone app.
You can compile and install the following google sample app: https://github.com/googlesamples/android-WearHighBandwidthNetworking
This app gives you a toggle to enable/disable high bandwidth.
I have just added link to modded version of the full Spotify to the first post. The bottom bar still doesn't look right but it should be manageable. Let me know if offline playback works.

Wow, that's a huge step forward! I already tested the full mod, and it's incredibly slow on my brand new ticwatch pro, though. Took awhile to load the login screen, then much patience to login (bg animation = lag), but the home screen isn't so bad. Unfortunately that's where the usability stops, because I can only scroll up/down to see the latest playlists/albums, and trying to queue one for offline download is broken because the app thinks I was on cellular, despite wifi being enabled. I couldn't access the settings interface to override this. I don't have a small smartphone, and without gesture functionality or an interface redesign, I can't imagine a usable interface from the main app that shows everything one might hope to operate..
hey guys,
i tested the full version on my ne ticwatch pro, because of some connetction issues with the spotify wear app.
the full version (by moneytoo) worked fine, exept some usability problems because of the resultion with 400x400px
if searched for one of my public playlists and it was possbile to download the songs. disconected my watch from the wlan and the songs could stil be played.
could it be possible to adjust the dpi settings in the app for 400x400px?
not only the bottom bar, althoug the settings button and the searchbar are out of the screen.
I've just uploaded another mod of the full Spotify that should work better with the top menu/toolbar across devices (hopefully).

Hey guys,
There is a big chance that you don't know me, cause this is my first release for a Mobile Device. Because of this I'd like to introduce myself before I'll tell something about my latest project.
About me:
I'm an 18 year old TI student living in The Netherlands. I’m studying at the ‘Hogeschool Rotterdam’ but because of my successes I'll switch to the Technical University of Delft ( Which you can compare to MIT ). I've been programming since I was around 15 years old, but as I said in the introduction, this is my first release for a Mobile Device.
About 'iMulator':
I’m the proud owner of a HTC Touch Pro 2 but (as many other Windows Mobile devices) it lacks a truly good music player. Most of the music players that are available for this platform don’t have the features I look for, even the paid versions don't suit my neads. It bothered me so much that I almost regretted buying a TP2 instead of an iPhone.
Spending loads for an iPhone to replace my TP2 that costed me 550€ 8 months earlyer wasn't an option, instead I got the idea to develop my own. I wanted a music player that had the following features:
- Library based
- Finger friendly
- Works smooth
- Lets you find and play your song in no-time
With this list I decided to make an iPhone Music Player Emulator
Requirements:
- Windows Mobile Device
- Windows Media Player ( It's library is used ONLY to play the songs )
- Microsoft's Compact Framework ( Click )
- Approximately 5 MB of RAM
- Approximately 10 MB of Storage
Screen Support List
Supports
- 240 * 320
- 320 * 480
- 480 * 800
Unknown
- The Rest
Does NOT support
- NONE
What is NOT(yet) in it?
- The Landscape album view. ( will NOT not be implemented )

[25 apr 2010]
- Initial Alpha Release
Looks great, will write an article about it at the frontpage!
Edit: BTW good to see a new Dutch developer here at the forums!
i would highly appriciate that
by looking at the screenshot u've provided, this looks exactly the same like another application called S2P..
what's the differences?
please correct me if I'm wrong / or misunderstand..
S2P is also a great application, basicly the only diffrence is that S2P doesnt work with a library, it simply lets you browse your music that is stored on the storage card.

Hi, also from me, glad to see some dutch talent here !
I tried your alpha release and installed in on the HD2 on the memory card.
When I start your app, I get the start screen asking for all songs, albums, ... When I click any of them, I get an error message:

i m also facing the same issue. tried to add songs by File > Add Media to Library.. Threw an exception. Secondly every time an exception is thrown and user re executes the exe file a new process is created eating up memory. Thirdly, i prefer to install applications on storage card but i am unable to install it on SD, it automatically gets installed on memory card (-1).
Please look into these. I am not able to use it
Hey all. First I will say that I am NOT the creator of this app, nor do I have anything to do with its development. I am simply sharing it since I found a topic on it on the general Android app forums on XDA and have come to love it IMMENSELY.
Features:
-FULL 10-band Equalizer
-Preamp
-BEAUTIFUL and RESPONSIVE clean interface
-Swipe support for changing songs with impressive 3D animation
-Support of just about EVERY music format known to man WITH equalizer and preamp support on all
-Folders as PLAYLISTs support
-Pretty widget
-Easy to navigate, FAST
Did I mention that if you use it on a Galaxy S device (ahem our Vibrants), it can sound VERY VERY impressive due to the Galaxy S having a really high-end sound chip (either the best or one of the best on the market currently). To boost the volume use it in conjunction with Audioboost based on supercurio's audio fix. You can find Audioboost on the market or somewhere on the XDA forums.

Huh... I'm really enjoying Winamp atm strangely enough. Thought I got rid of that bug in 2003, but it keeps haunting me lol
Its a really nice music app but damn the UI is ugly and cluttered.
thank you nice find! love the equilizer! very good bass with the vibrant headset
I'm giving this a try. Thanks for sharing the news about this app.
Buttons look too small. Does it have a widget that consists of just 3 big buttons (next, back, play/pause)? That'll make any player the #1 for me - easiest to use while driving. MixZing comes closest with it's 1x4 widget, Winamp's widget takes up too much room and the buttons are too small.

Haha. I use MixZing for drivign and PowerAmp for headphones now. Reason is this way I don't have to switch equalizers every time. And MixZing (if you open it full or u use the app Shake2PlayNext) is really easy to navigate while driving while PowerAmp has got the EQ powahhh.
thanks for the info about this app. it's great.
im concerned about the battery consumption. even with a widget.
right now im using either MUSIC PLAYER PRO and/or MORTPLAYER. and they both consume battery faster than the stock music player.
I need folder playing, but i really dont need equalizer coz my vibrant sounds AWESOME.
On one hand it can read my .flac file tags properly! On the other hand it doesn't scrobble or have support for non-imbeded album art. If cubed and this player merged it would be perfect! You guys should try cubed, it pretty neat and has the large button widget, but no EQ, although I have never been a fan of EQs.
Does it gave 5.1 digital surround sound for our headsets?

Hah, EQ. Honestly, it's not a feature I need or want, since I only listen to music on my phone in the car, and I have a high-end-ish headunit with full tonal controls. My biggest want/need is largest buttons possible for skipping and play/pause while driving.
PS: Can't use "shake2playnext" when it's in the car mount.
Very nice player! I'm usually not one for players with "busier" UI's, but this one is so well thought out - with very nice animations. It feels very high end. And, I don't have a need for the EQ or tonal controls either.
Let's see if this responds to my Zaggs remote commands. The only one that has so far is mixzing

It's a one-click (well almost - it asks you to confirm) way to install my tweaks and addons into your rooted ROM without worrying about ADB or Root Explorer. It also has 2 buttons to quickly remount your filesystem as RW or RO, without messing around with commands.
It is NOT ready for mainstream use, so consider it Alpha. It does make backups of any files it touches, but it will overwrite them if you reflash the same file. This will be addressed at a later date.
Enjoy, and let me know if it works (both the app and the Camera mod). You will need < 15% battery to properly test it though and see it still works. Also test camcorder mode please when that happens
Thanks also to [email protected] for his ShellCommand class to faciliate root commands.

are you guys high.. didnt work on mine at all.. renamed camera.apk to camerasave.apk renamed camera.odex to camerasave.odex copied new camera to system/app and double checked it is larger 1.8m
then rebooted..

No, we're not high... But at least 2 or 3 people have posted it works iirc... Anyone else got a "yay" or "nay"?

i think possible they tested that the camera and video camera still worked but never tested the original intent of the hack? That is why i am asking

Yep, he broke it. Will look at camera just now. Video player fix works though
Released updated QR code. This adds support for multiple base ROM versions, given we now have different ROMs in use by people...
Old app has been disabled now, and will tell you to get the new app Maybe I should just put it onto market too for updates?
[MOD][CAM]GBXperia S|Video 1080p >20mb Bitrate|720p >15mb Bitrate|>100% Image quality
Gingerbread only
Thanks to all the lovely people in the "Root XPS (63 & 67 FW) [Update: 08.03.12]" section I am now able to test my mods and install apps direct to System/app.
As with my previous camera mods this "initial" version increases video 1080p bitrate from 14mbps to 20mbps and 720p from 6mbps(pathetic) to 15mbps.
Also increases Image quality from 90% to some what over 100% by fiddling with the constants array-data and removing the 0x5A cap, image size will be bigger; I'll be able to check images better in the morning during the day.
This version should work with all firmware and roms versions for Gingerbread 2.3.7.
Normal install:
1. Extract the zip files to a folder.
2. Obtain a root file browser like rootexplorer or ES File Explorer.
3. Rename the current files on the phone before replacing.
4. Activate root access via the file browser of choice and copy SemcCameraUI.apk to system/app and media_profiles.xml to system/etc
5. Apply permissions and change owner to match any other file in the same directory for both the above files (06755 and root).
6. Reboot device.
7. Recommend to go into Settings then Applications then manage Applications and find the camera install settings under the All tab and press clear data to restore camera default settings.
ClockworkMod install:
1.Copy the file to your phone, reboot into clockworkmod recovery.
2.Select "install zip", then sip >> sdcard and browse for the file then click and 3.confirm to install.
4.restart your phone as normal.
Seems very smooth with video at these moderately increased levels, will see how high the bitrate goes.
I've tested most of the functions of the app and it should be fairly glitch free, let me know otherwise.
For more info on how I modded these files check my previous mods in my signature below.
Got a few more ideas and as always suggestions welcome.
Edit1:20120314
Seems the media_profiles.xml does have some side effects and i've had a few random force closes with video settings, if you experience this just replace the file with your backup version and restart the phone. I'm looking into this.
Edit2:2012317
New version of the files uploaded, fixed the above issue force closing with video settings.
Edit3:20120320
On comparison it seems the quality of even the 14mbps stock bitrate is extremely good, which says quite alot about the 12mp image sensor used, high praise indeed.
Edit4:20120420
Seems to be a Sony bug with Image stabilization set to on and changing the ISO setting, this actually disables the image stabilization.
Found on the Sony Xperia forums this is currently being looked at by Sony for a fix

Yes tho the audio is already quite good at 128kpbs x 48khz in stereo, what sound quality would you prefer?
@ Solid Eye what other options did you want that the SGS2 had?
-smc
@ Jozinek tho i haven't had too much of an issue with it, the stabilization feature could be alot better in my opinion.
Also the video format profile is only [email protected] which doesn't allow for CABAC compression, might be able to change this if i find the profile code in the app.
The default-capability.xml file in the system/etc folder shows different format profiles which we may be able to play around with like H264 [email protected] at least which supports CABAC.

hi folks,
thxx for the mod, one question:

You are writing on a dev thread not a FAQ thread, learn to read and accept what comes when you don't read. Also stop caps and learn what netiquette is.
i gonna keep it short, the post above in red is my first post ever made on xda using caps, it was my 339th post, so pls,spare me your lessons && morals about netiquette.
Asking questions is part of the life of a dev topic.
End of the story
danka
nocomp & gbil,
You will both end up being infracted if you continue spamming this Dev thread with your petty bickering.
Now stay on topic!
o.o, so much tremble...

And what are your observations? Its quite hard to compare quality from shaky youtube videos. But maybe you have noticed any difference?
One thing I noticed was reddish tint on camera with mod. Is this normal?

Yeah good point, i'll be upping the audio and video bitrates soon and see if we still get a consistent framerate, as long as our min framerate stays above 25fps in low light then im happy.
@ asestar reddish tint I haven't seen yet sorry, is this in video and/or images specifically? Night or day shots? can you upload a sample here for us also?
I have yet to fiddle with default contrast, iso, sharpness etc values.

wow! looks promising! pretty nice features and settings.
one very important question for me.
are the bluetooth hi-res audio capabilities supported on this rom? (aptx aptxHD, LDAC)
Excellent, was waiting for a XDA thread for this!
Which camera does it come with?
Which GCam is it compatible with?
Any GCam version + config recommendations?
Download link not working?

This turns out to be tricky, which is why I hope that someone with more time at hands can have a look and report back here.
From the LOS thread:
Camera Notes
ANX camera is not recomended and will most probably NOT work.
To get a fully working camera try one of the gcams here.
Do not forget to copy&load the associated xml file!
Official LOS uses oss camera service, so xml written for other custom roms might not work.
The gcams at the above link have modified xmls for LOS.

So far I have tried my previous favorite (NGCam v7.4.104-v2.0) that I have in use on ArrowOS 11 (last version with MIUI vendor), but it crashes as was to be expected due to the camera service as mentioned above.
I have also tried UltraCVM (v8.1 from the link above and v8.4.300.10u_ucvm from the GCam Hub) which worked with the provided config file, but unfortunately it does not seem to support a 3rd party gallery, I could not find out how to change camera lenses, and at one point while playing around with it, it just crashed.
So in the end I really would like to have a camera app that supports slow motion and time lapse video, 3rd party gallery, all the available lenses and runs stable.

Just read up on Aperture, and indeed makes sense and needs to be supported, but still, it does not have slow motion and time lapse video and I'm not sure about the use of lenses:
Support for auxiliary cameras (this has to be enabled outside of the Aperture app)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Not sure what that means and if this has been enabled for the two additional lenses that we have on the POCO X3 NFC. I guess this should be the selector that reads ".9 | .9 | 1" in the middle of the lower part of this screenshot:
But unfortunately this is not working as the lens selection (main, macro and wide angle) obviously isn't correctly configured (though there are no UI options for that):
The "1" seems to be the main lens, which is working.
The middle ".9" is not working at all (makes the picture freeze and something crashes, because also the UI keeps working, the camera picture does not recover), so this must be an invalid camera ID.
The left ".9" looks like main lens in black & white, so that's also an invalid camera ID because that lens is not supposed to be used on its own, but does its job in conjunction with the main camera for more depth (or something like that).
So the camera ID configuration needs to be corrected and the UI needs a proper camera labeling (so that you can see which of the three selectors is which lens).
There is also a picture of the settings menu, which looks differently from the one we have:
We don't have the photo stabilization and the the lower two video stabilization options.
Hello all. do we have any feedback from this rom if anyone is using it? I would like to test it probably next weekend so I would appreciate anyone that has some experience till now.

All good except the camera issue. Aperture is just not good enough, though of course it makes sense as it's OSS. Haven't found the time to play with various Gcam versions and have been testing crDroid in the meantime (though that one is not to stay as the next version will be rebased to LOS as well and requires a clean flash).
