The Spotify Dogfood mod provides an ad-free Spotify experience on Android devices. By Linuxct
Welcome to the repo of the Spotify Dogfood mod. Here you'll find each release's patches divided by branches, as well as binaries in the Releases.
- Remove previous installations of Spotify.
- Download the latest version from the releases section.
- Enable 'Unknown sources' under Android Settings > Security.
- Install just like any other APK via any File manager or, if you plan to use this app with an Android Auto car, read this article.
- ???
- Profit!
To apply the patchsets manually, you need the following tools:
- Git, and preferably GitHub's app for Windows.
- Java JDK and it's environment variables properly set-up
- APKtool
- An Android Keystore to sign your APKs
- The version you wish to apply the patchset to, from APKmirror.
- Android Debugging Bridge installed (perferably system-wide), as well as it's drivers if you're on Windows.
Once you meet all of the above, it's as easy as it follows:
#unpack the apk
java -jar apktool_WhateverVersion.jar d NameOfTheApk.apk && cd NameOfTheApk
#now copy the patch file to the dir you're on
git apply --stat NameOfThePatch.path #checks the stats
git apply --check NameOfThePatch.path #sees if it's compatible with the environment
git apply NameOfThePatch.path #applies the patch
#compile the result
java -jar apktool_WhateverVersion.jar b NameOfTheDirectory
#sign with your key
jarsigner -verbose -sigalg SHA1withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore /path/to/your/keystore NameOfTheDirectory/dist/NameOfTheResultingFile.apk YOURALIAS
#install the final apk
adb install -r NameOfTheDirectory/dist/NameOfTheResultingFile.apk
If you want to review the patch itself, you can use git-am. If you want to review the mod to the liborbit-jni file, check the wiki page.
