Hello, XDA! Today, I'll be showing you how to get unlimited skips/song select in Spotify on the OnePlus 5.
Code:
/*
If you are rooted or you have adb enabled and installed
on your computer, skip to the bold section of this post.
If you don't have this done or you don't know how to
do this, read the whole post.
*/
This will require root (root guide for OnePlus 5 here, I recommend using Magisk and not SuperSU.) or ADB.
To enable ADB, just scroll down in Settings to About phone, scroll all the way to the bottom and press Build Number 7 times; this will activate Developer Mode. Go back to the main page in Settings, Developer Mode is near the bottom. From Developer options, you can activate USB debugging (which is ADB). You can download Android SDK Platform-Tools from here. Extract the .zip, go into the folder named platform-tools, and open CMD or Terminal (CMD for Windows, Terminal for Mac/Linux) and drag ADB into the CMD/Terminal to run ADB.
Code:
adb shell
would be
Code:
(drag adb file here) shell
but would show up as something like
Code:
/Users/username/Downloads/platform-tools/adb shell
Once you have rooted or enabled ADB, you can download a new app called jOnePlus Tools [adb/root] from the Play Store. jOnePlus is a modding application for the OxygenOS 4.5.x.
When you open jOnePlus Tools, it will ask for SuperUser Rights (if you are rooted). Select Grant to allow it to 'change' the system. It will then bring up a message that says Permission Denied and it will tell you to grant WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS by running
Code:
adb shell pm grant net.jroot3d.joneplustools android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
over USB. You can either connect your phone to your computer over USB and enable USB Debugging and run
Code:
adb shell pm grant net.jroot3d.joneplustools android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
on the computer. If you are rooted, you can skip the whole ADB step; just press GRANT WITH ROOT.
Once you've enabled permissions with adb or root, press the gear icon near the top right, press General, and then Enable experimental features. Go back to the main screen of jOnePlus Tools and press the square-circle shape near the top-middle of the screen. Scroll to the bottom and press 4k (2160x3840). It will lag a bit for about 20 seconds at most. Close Spotify if open. Now launch Spotify. (If your home screen appears to be messed up or corrupted, DON'T FRET! It may be confused because your device is telling it a different resolution. This is temporary.) If you can't click on home screen icons correctly, you can hold the home button to launch Google Assistant and say Open Spotify. When you launch Spotify, it should allow you to have unlimited skips/song select. This is because your Spotify sees your screen size as 2160x3840, a tablet size. The tablet version of Spotify has unlimited song select and skips. Spotify only checks your screen size when it launches, so you can go back to jOnePlus Tools and put you resolution back at Full HD (1080x1920) Default. If you close Spotify, you may need to change your resolution back to 4k again before launching if you want unlimited skips/select (and then back to Full HD Default after launching).

Thanks, but an easier solution is to directly install "spotify dogfood" : see dedicated xda thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/mod-spotify-dogfood-ad-free-spotify-t3632423
edit :
This mod works without root, it's just a simple apk to install
edit : they even have their own updater for the spotify dogfood moded app :
download it, install it and then you can have spotify dogfood always up to date.
*Note* You need to unistall any previous spotify version before installed the moded spotify

Is there any way to use Spotify in countries where it's not available without VPN ? I'm rooted if it helps

Pretty much yeah, you need a VPN only to register an account (and pay for the premium package).

You don't have to get premium, just register the account with a VPN and every month log in to that account from an IP where Spotify is available (it resets the 30day limit for free users)

Okay everyone! Here is a tutorial on how to get Aircrack tools working with your Android TF300T! This gets your Alpha Card working with all the drivers in android so you can use it in Backtrack!
CREDITS: I do not take credit for the drivers I simply put all the information together.
Requirements :
Rooted Device
4 GB Free Space
USB Port or for a Phone an Adapter that can provide power like a HUB
An Alpha awus036h wifi adapter
Android 4.0 or higher that supports USB Host Mode
A brain!! :yeye:
Required Downloads:
Backtrack 5 installer APP - IN Files.zip
RootFileExplorer - IN Files.zip
Required Drivers
Terminal App - IN Files.zip
Android VNC - IN Fiiles.zip
Modules App - IN Files.zip
Required Files.zip - https://www.asuswebstorage.com/navigate/share/GY4I6766V4
First install all apps.
Follow the guide in Backtrack 5 installer APP to set up your BT5 install.
Next boot up backtrack and compile and install Aircrack!
In a backtrack terminal issue the following commands to install Aircrack:
http://pastebin.com/tPM8Qshp
Once complete stay in the terminal and get wicd manager
apt-get install wicd
Now that is done download the Alpha drivers and extract them to your system
/lib/modules folder.
Drivers: https://www.asuswebstorage.com/navigate/share/GY4JP966V4
Next TURN OFF YOUR WIFI
The drivers conflict with the internal wifi. You need to reboot to gain your normal wifi again!
Open the Modules app and open the system tab and select the 3 drives your extracted and save them!
eeprom_93cx6.ko, mac80211.ko, rtl8187.ko
Make sure to go to the settings in the Modules App and un-check load at boot!
Now connect your Alpha Wifi card and open up your backtrack terminal and type:
/etc/init.d/dbus start; /etc/init.d/wicd start
Then Type
ifconfig wlan0 up
Put your card in monitor mode: airmon-ng start wlan0
Thats it! :thumbsup:
Just start using aircrack or download reaver and your set!
If you want to use reaver just download it in your bt5: http://code.google.com/p/reaver-wps/downloads/list
Here is a good reaver tut: http://www.hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=2079678

Its really straight forward. Just follow the onscreen instructions as best as possible. Make sure you downloaded the script during the instructions. Also make sure the files are all extracted to a folder on your sdcard named backtrack

It is a command line tool which lets you *cough* *cough* test the security of your own or other people's networks. Basically if aircrack is able to discover the password on your network in a relatively short amount of time (a couple of hours) you or whoever's network it is needs to boost their security.

You should be able to use this method to install drivers from other wireless cards... HOWEVER, you need to go to backtrack's website (google it), and check the wiki to make sure your wireless card is capable of "injection"

I'm pretty sure mine is. Has the following chipset, discovered when I use a pc with backtrack: ASUSTek Computer, Inc. RT2573 - using the mac80211 rt2500usb/rt73usb drivers
Its one of the ones listed. Don't I need to compile the .ko modules for ARM? If so, how do I do this and where do I find them?

Thanks i installed, but cant seem to find the program in start/metro menu ?
EDIT: fixed deleting the "Dependencies" folder (or at least the VCLibs dependencies within the folder) in the Package Install folder - the one where you run the PowerShell command to install the app.
Then reinstall.

Reboot, delete the Dependencies folder which is in the folder that you downloaded and extracted.

it would be nice if someone made a whatsapp version for win8
Hey where is it supposed to load the contacts since its on for like 5 mins and i still dont have my skype contacts
This looks great! After deleting the dependencies folder installed and runs like a charm! Good Job... Is there a way to add new contacts in this or accept requests though? I just don't see the option.
Great work!

i downloaded and tried to install as said in description but it was unsuccessful. then i noticed a weird thing.. All the buttons of metro changed. i dont know what went wrong and its really annoying to see such buttons.. Plez Help.
Screenshot on the Attachment!
:crying:
Worked like a charm! Thank you! For those trying to install: You can leave the Dependencies folder just where it was... for me it was working fine with, but gave an error without. One last thing: There doesn't seem to be an option to log out... I had to kill it via taskmanager lol...
Worked great. Thanks!
PS: Some other nice app available for Metro? I didn't find many... yet.
Any updates on this one?
it looks great, but i can't make/receive group calls

Sent From My YP-G1 running ICS build 3.5
I dont know how many other people out there use androids built in vpn, but i hate the fact that you are required to use a security screen (pattern, pin, password) to do so. I have found a way to bypass this if you are rooted. This has only been tested on the stock kk rooted ota. However i would think it is the same on almost any stock based rom.
This assumes you already have your vpn and a security screen setup and working.
Go to the market and download a root capable data base (db) editor. I use SQLite Editor which is a paid app, but im sure there are free ones too.
Open the db editor. SQLite Editor sorts it by the app (in this case Android System) the data base is associated with, others may not work this way and may require you to navigate to the db file directly (/data/system/locksettings.db).
Open locksettings.db and select the locksettings directory. Look for the line that says "lockscreen.password_type". Under the value colum it will show some random number. Select the line and edit the value to be 0 (zero). Save if required by your db app, and restart your phone.
When it reboots you should no longer have a security lock screen only the swipe up screen. When you go to settings - more - vpn, it will still say you need to setup a security lock. Hit CANCEL, and it will show you your list of setup vpn's. Select one and connect. Boom working vpn with no pattern, pin, password screen required.
To undo this just go to settings - security - screenlock, and setup a new lock pattern, pin, or password.
You can also disable the swipe up lock screen by editing the "lockscreen.disabled" value in the locksettings.db to be a 1 instead of a 0.
good write up, thank you sir.
Where did you get stock kk rooted?
Sent from my HTC One
I was already unlocked and s-off, so i ruu'd took the kk ota and then rooted it. But i believe santod has his thread in development where you can download the stock rooted kk rom.
an alternative method
An add-on alternative update for relevancy. Using Samsung Note 3 4.3 MJ7 stock rooted.
Firstly, thanks OP for a nice clear guide for all on how to do this theoretically.
This is an alternative for those who aren't able to purchase SQLite Editor:
1. get a good freeware SQLite editor like for example SQLite Studio @ w w w sqlitestudio.pl
2. copy following files from your phone to the PC using some form of file explorer or whatever methods you can think of
/data/system/locksettings.db
/data/system/locksettings.db-shm
/data/system/locksettings.db-wal
3. open up the editor, load the locksettings.db and modify like what OP has mentioned
4. you will notice that the new saved DB is going to be a single file instead so just replace this file back into your phone and delete the OTHER files
5. reboot and done.
:highfive:
Alternative method
found it on another forum
The process does not require rooting its more like a bug
worked on my i9300 with 4.3 firmware
1. Add a VPN
2. Lock the device with a pin
3. Enter the pin wrong 5 times
4. Press OK to the message that pops up
5 Press Forgot Pin
6. Sign into your Google Account
7. Select pin lock
8. Press cancel.
and now u got unlocked screen with working vpns
the method works, but after I reboot, when I enter VPN screen is aks me for "password for credential storage"... how can I solve? thanks in advance

What I do here: just type something.. anything, doesn't matter. At least one character.
Then on the next screen, where it asks to set up a lockscreen, just Cancel.
This seems to be necessary once per boot -- any password, different time or the same, works.
After that it lands me on the VPN manager screen, all functional.
Well I kind of messed up. I tried to open with SQLite but it would give me an error 14. So i decided to try to open just like that using ES Explorer and edit it like regular note(SQL is totally different I had no idea). Anyways i didnt edit anything but now i cant set a pin or any type of security on my phone. When i try to set up a pin it still shows a swipe and when i try again my Note 3 freezes and get an error message saying settings stopped responding.
Any idea on how to fix this? Im rooted and im running the latest firmware 4.4.2 if that helps.
I would donate if someone would code an app to sideload apk's from your phone. Would make it so much easier, rather than breaking out the laptop.
Thanks.
..
Yea, I've done it that way...an app with a gui would be more user friendly though. Just a thought...
If you mean any app instead of just paid apps on your phone,there is an invaluably easier way to sideload apk files.
Terminal Emulator will be needed for a few initial steps,unless you don't have unknown sources hacked to enabled which requires root.
If no root access and disabled unknown sources,you will need to use it every time.
1.Install Terminal Emulator on your Fire TV with your current sideloading method.
2.Either use the Terminal Emulator,or the same ADB method to also sideload a browser like Opera or any other browser. (will need keyboard and mouse)
3.Use the web browser to download apk files to install using Terminal Emulator. (or from a file explorer if rooted to enable unknown sources)
4 (optional).Install 1mobile,Aptoide, and/or Appchina for easier access to apps for installing normally or using Terminal Emulator.
Hope this helps,even if just a little.

2. Sideload ES file explorer on ftvs (can't see why it won't work the same on ftv)
3. Open myappsharer on phone and ES on ftv, tick the apk setting in myappsharer then select apk to share. Choose the ES option then ES send by Lan, accept the transfer on ftv.
Mobizen works on my phone & pc. I tried installing it on the FTVS but once again the remote will not let me click the needed check boxes to accept the EULA on the app. If one can get past that it should work.

I would donate if someone would code an app to sideload apk's from your phone. Would make it so much easier, rather than breaking out the laptop.
Thanks.

Just found what you're looking for, tested it myself & it works with no glitches (except currently there's no status bar to let you know the app has been installed):

If you just download an APK you can share it straight from ES File Explorer.

Is there an official thread for this?
Easy Way.
#1 Install APk Extractor On your Phone (android phone/tablet)
#2 install google drive, configure your account
#3 extract APK , upload to GDRIVE
#4 install ES File Explorer on Fire TV/STICK
#5 install via fire tv using ES File Explorer
You can install airdroid on your phone and chrome on your fire tv. There is an option to download apps that are installed on your phone from the airdroid gui. Once that is downloaded you can navigate to the download folder to install the apk. I've been doing that lately, as I found it easier than trying to get market helper to work.

Not that I've seen. Found it on the Play Store (The German or Dutch version I'm guessing)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dlka.fireinstaller&hl=de
Can also be found on GitHub:
