Hello everyone,
I've modded the Ziggo TV app to disable the root checker.
There have been some workarounds such as hiding root in the SuperSU app etc., only this doesn't work with custom firmware like the newest CM10.1 and 10.2.
By disabling the root checker in this APK it's now possible to use it on all modified firmware.
This way everybody who is using a custom rom is now able to watch Ziggo TV when they have a Ziggo tv/internet abbonnement.
The file version is 3.11 so it's the latest available update from Ziggo.
At the moment I've tested it at a GT-I9001 phone, but i'm pretty sure it will work for other phones as well.
My advice for those people is just test it and report back please.
If problems occur I'll try tot fix those for you. Also when screenshots are wanted i'll be happy to post them for you.
The download link is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/aqsc14m3uvjla25/Ziggo%20TV.apk
If somebody is interested in the steps I took to modify the app, just let me know and I'll make a tutorial.

I can always look into this, but I can't promise anything.
At the moment I don't know how the app verifies this, if the check is server side it will be difficult to get around.

Using it on HTC One, HTC One X and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (P7510).
All working perfectly. Thanks!

Muchos Gracias :good:
The original app does not work on the Galaxy Mega. It gives the message that the rom is not original or rooted, while it is not.
I was hoping this modded version was a solution. Unfortunately not.
Any chance we can get this working on a Galaxy Mega?
How did you mod this apk? I decompiled it but have no clue where to look....
Trying the app on Sony NSZ-GS7
I'm trying to start the app on a Google TV, the Sony NSZ-GS7.
The error that I get is in Dutch:
"
Helaas!
De app Ziggo TV (proces nl.ziggo.android.tv) is onverwachts gestopt.
Probeer het opnieuw.
"
(the app stopped unexpectedly)
Does someone know what I can do to make it work?
Thank you very much!

Thanks,
This didn't work for my MStar GoogleTV based projector. Tried the rooted and unrooted firmware of the system, both failed to play live TV.
Expected this one to work, but it failed as well. Are there any other checks that could be removed? (Just remove ALL checks)
I would like more info on how to modify any updates myself.
Thanks,
Allegro16
Thx!
Tested today on my rooted stock firmware galaxy s3 i9300, and it worked - as only one
So yeah, thank you!
And everybody loves to read about how to patch apps... I guess ; -)
Oh, according to http://www.appbrain.com/app/ziggo-tv/nl.ziggo.android.tv#descriptionsection , version Ziggo TV 3.2 is out too?
... Peace!

Didn't work in the end..
Hi,
I was expecting the modded version to work on my Android projector, because it ran fine on all my other devices (both rooted and unrooted)
Any other checks that could/should be removed?
Thanks,
Allegro16.
P.S: Working great on a rooted HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S3, etc. But not on this..
EDIT: Ziggo just got back to me, if it's not already supported i'm out of luck. They only support the big brands, HTC, Samsung, etc. No small Android boxes will be officially supported, only: "Helaas is de Ziggo TV App alleen beschikbaar voor iPad, iPad mini, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, Iphone 4s, iPhone 5, iPod Touch, Android smartphones en tablets. Op andere apparaten zal het dan ook niet werken. Excuses voor de teleurstelling."
"Unfortunately the Ziggo TV App is only available for iPad, iPad mini, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, Iphone 4s, iPhone 5, iPod Touch, Android smartphones and tablets. As such, it will not work on other devices. Sorry for the dissapointment."
I already tried renaming the device in the app itself to no avail.. Is there any way the OP could mod the app further? So it doesn't check which device it runs of?
Especially if you could tell us how it's done. Then i'm sure a working version could always be updated..
A quick compare (unpacking the Apk's as zip) showed the modded version is larger as the Original, especially classes.dex that lists"rooted_device_found_message !rooted_device_found_message_title"
Is that the difference? How to mod to work on all devices?
PsychoGame:
Any news or updates? I finally magaged to mod a version that installed, but it failed to show live TV as well..
Which file/part of the APK did you mod and with which tools? Tried replacing the Galaxy S3/GalaxyS3 references in classes.dex with MStar Google TV/MStarGoogleTV, but while it installed, no luck..
Any news/hints are appreciated!

Thanks, works great on i9195 on CM11 (4.4.1)
This app works great! I have sent a message to the dev asking if he will update the app, but no response..
Does anyone have an idea how to remove the root check in apps? I have searched and searched, but alas..
Works perfectly on my Galaxy tab 2!
Thank you for this!
to bad, doesn't work on xperia x1 on stock based custom rom.
Works great on my rooted FNF iFive X2 with Android 4.2.2
Please update this great app to version 3.2

Hey, since the official BBM for android is out, and not compatible for our devices, is there any other way round to get it working? Installing an independent APK did not work for me.

I'm looking for the same thing but I can not find anything ...
Yes, Our device falls under Desire C category on the Play Store's Dev Console (Mostly). Even the Desire C doesn't support BBM. Anyways, I'm gonna get a new phone in a month but having BBM for the WFS would be great

Ofcourse, cause you just midified the Operating System 4.2.2 but not architecture of your CPU (armv6)
BBM min requarment is armv7 achitecture of CPU
Ohhh NO , Not yet
We have to wait more than 6 months :crying::crying:
Just bringing this thread back to life, I got a working BBM APK on CM10.1, not sure about other roms.
Not really sure, But one of these links works, can anybody try? I Don't have access to wfs for a week now
First Link

Hey everyone,
don't know if the copy I have is one that's already here, but this one has been personally tested on cm10, cm9, cm7 and the original sense rom! it all works perfectly

I have a couple of the Fire TV version 1 boxes fully rooted with fully unlocked bootloaders and the latest prerooted roms (51.1.6.3_516012020) and the Netflix version loaded is 1.1.6 build 148, which is dated October 2014.
Can anyone who has a new FTV (version 2) confirm the version and build number of the Netflix app that comes installed? If it's newer, I'm wondering if the apk can be extracted and installed on the older units. I know the regular android version of the Netflix app gets updated on a far more regular basis. According to the Play Store, the latest version was updated October 18, 2015. So I have to wonder what features, bug fixes, etc. are we missing being an entire year behind.
So anybody out there who has an AFTV2, please go into the Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications and let me know what you have for Netflix version number.
It just seems a bit odd to me that the regular android version is 3.15.3 build 5269 and AFTV is at 1.1.6 build 148
If there is a newer version on the second gen AFTVs, I would be more than happy to test installing it on my older units.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Netflix on the Fire TV 2 is currently on version 2.4.0 build 1032
I'm pretty it's not a special version for AFTV2, but a new version exclusive to FireOS 5
I went ahead and tried extracted the APKs for the new NetFlix and Twitch.TV apps from my AFTV2, tried sideloading them onto my old AFTV but received a minSdkVersion error during installation.
So then I tried to use apktool to decode the APKs, then edited the minSdkVersion to make them installable, rebuilt the APKs, and re-signed the APKs.
I was then able to install the new versions of NetFlix and Twitch.TV on my old AFTV, but both of them simply crash upon launch...
It was my first time using apktool so maybe there are further tweaks you could do to make them work on the old AFTV.
It's not weird for developers to have versions of their apps different from their regular android version.
These versions are built with a leanback interface, made for easy navigation with a remote instead of a touchscreen.

Thanks for all your effort trying with that. I just have issues with the Netflix crashing frequently on my 2 rooted ones with the latest roms that is really quite annoying. As soon as I press play it closes. I'll have to do some more troubleshooting.

It seems Netflix on Fire OS 5 on the original fire tv is much better. Hopefully Amazon will be rolling that out sometime... Pretty sure they had originally promised October 5th...

Yeah, it's all done. I'm just waiting on Amazon to push a final version.
Can anyone backup and upload the Netflix APK from a FireTV2. I would like to try it on my pre-rooted FireTV 1. Would appreciate it!
hi, i am using the original 5.1 android xperia z1c, and i got some issues with this app, when i run the app it stay stucked in "communicating with starfleet" so this app is unable to communicate with the server, if i am using the original kitkat android this app is working without problem, but i dont want to rollback my android decive, do you know if any of these rooted os mod got no issues with this app?

Hello there,
I have a TV from 2017 I think (Phillips 43PFG5501/77) which comes with Android 5.1 aparently, and I am wondering if its possible to install the Android TV 13 OS on this device.
I think this TV comes with Android TV with a layer of personalization from Phillips. What can happend if I try to flash this device?
Since I am having many problems with Cast to TV, I thought about installing a more generic version of Android TV...
Is it possible to do this?
Hi,
there is no "alternative version" for TVs ... so you cannot install a different software than Philips own ATV...
But you can connect a HDMI device with a more recent ATV version.
[email protected]
i mean, you have chance....
1st. you need root permissions
2nd. copy from your TV all native (Philips) apk
3rd. i never seen custom rom for Philips andorid TV, you chance is your own Android build for your TV...here try this "walkthrought" https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-how-to-create-your-own-custom-rom-an-easy-way.2195858/

I? ...no...maybe user MNRP90 when he wants android 13 in a device with android tv 5. I wrote general solution (without writing driver modules builded to kernel, dvb-api...etc), it isn´t easy solution, but not unreal. I don´t know dev skills of MNRP90...if you know an easier solution, publish it and stop hating me ;-)
