Doesnt work on my LG Flex 2 running rooted 5.1. Anyone know of another solution that will achieve background YouTube playback with a rooted device shouldnt be so hard right? Then again I'm not an android developer so I have no idea. I also would like to thank the author of this application it seems to have worked for some people and it's a great effort.

This app worked at first, but recently it stopped background playing. It will keep playing if I turn the screen off. But if I tap the home button or switch apps, it stops working. Anyone know what the issue is or how to fix it?
Thanks!

great app but sometimes it stop suddenly

you have to disable "Android Web View".

I understood that if you press home button the ROM kills it or brings down to lower priority because the app even doesn't show a notification to stop from killing. So you can't rely on background play. Try some app which locks this in memory.Pls try this solution and reply back.?

I didn't find this anywhere else on the forum for the latest version so i'll post this modified version of spotify that i has put together to work with landscape! Perfect for your car dock and such. The only thing i've found that doesn't work so far is the Play Now window, you can't get it up without turning the phone back to portrait. Maybe someone here know how to fix it, if so let me know!
Anyways you can download the current version Here (0.6.0.17)
Thank you for this wonderful fix! Any progress on the Now Playing Tab?

Tip from Zisid
A tip is to navigate to "sdcard://Android/data" and find "com.spotify.mobile.android.ui" and rename it to anything. After that you uninstall the market version of Spotify and installning this. After that you navigate to the data folder again and rename the renamed folder back to the initial name. Then all playlists, settings, and songs should still be there. Just like before!

I tried this. Playlists and settings were saved, offline songs had to be re-downloaded.

PS: I posted a link to this in the "Why isn't there a landscape mode?" thread in the official Spotify Help Forum: http://community.spotify.com/t5/Mobile-Android/Why-isn-t-there-landscape-mode/m-p/95245#M5657

Hi, thanks for this appli, work only with fb account? no other solution?
Dude, thanks for this, installed and tested the landscape rotation. Seems to be working perfectly @ all angles. Such a simple thing and the guys over at spotify don't seem to feel it's a necessity. Glad you did and took it upon yourself to fix the problem!
Thanks again, your efforts are greatly appreciated!!

Edit/Update: Looks like radio isn't working on this version. I don't have premium and literally only use the mobile app for the radio functionality. Not sure when radio was added but any chance you can re-swizzle this with a version that includes radio? It does work perfectly as far as I can tell, but since I don't have premium I can't say for sure.
@jason2005: I was able to log in just fine with my Spotify creds, no need to login with facebook. But then I was a beta tester when it 1st released here in the states and never chose to link my FB account to it.

Same here, I think that will be a permanent fault due to the device level authentication codes which spotify uses when authenticating with facebook.
Use the instructions here:
https://www.spotify.com/uk/help/faq/account/#connect-devices
to set up a username and password for spotify devices, there are a couple of hoops to jump through but it does work!
No landscape support in this version either from spotify So here is a new modified APK for you to download!

[APP/MOD][2/3] A Better Grooveshark

IMPORTANT: If songs are buffering but not playing for you, go to settings, "Songs Not Playing Fix," and select "Off" or, if that does not work, "On [V2]."
NOTE: I have nothing to do with the app "Dood's Music Streamer", the developer mysticdeath, KillEmAllx, or Grooveshark.com.
This is a themed version of mysticdetah's app which can be found here: http://dms.mysticdeath.com/. This theme is based on a theme by KillEmAllX which can be found here.

I have used Dood's Music Streamer for a while and, while I enjoyed using Grooveshark's great service, I was not pleased with the look of the app. I decided to change that, and this is the result. Let me know what you think.
CHANGELOG
2/3
-Fixed text layout issues on the Now Playing page.
2/2
-Updated to Dood's Music Streamer 1.3.5, which means:
-Fix for app randomly closing in the background on KitKat devices
1/15
-Updated to Dood's Music Streamer 1.3.4, which means:
-Expandable Notifications
-More from Artist & More from Album fixes
12/5
-I have updated the app to better match Kit Kat.
What is themed:
-App
-Notification
-Widget
-Icon
Please note: this app is only compatible with XHDPI devices, and on Android 4.0 and up. Anyone wishing to use the app on an HDPI device will have to scale down all the XHDPI resources by a factor of .75 and place them in the HDPI folder in the apk.
Looks awesome man, time to start using grooveshark!

Working well!
So great to have this back. Paid for the original app back in the day and it's great to see that the development continues. For anyone having problems playing tracks: go to settings -> songs not playing fix -> Off. V1 and V2 both do not work for me at all on three different devices. You can turn on the "Prebuffer next song" option and that will work after turning off the songs not playing fix.
App has been updated to the latest version of Dood's Music Streamer, which means expandable notifications and bugfixes.

(HOW TO) Get PowerAmp working on 4.4.x ROMs.

I was playing around with CM11 today, and I was getting a little annoyed that PowerAmp repeatedly locked up between songs so I started to tweak it a bit!
There is no guarantee this will work, but these are the settings I have used to successfully get PowerAmp to work.
First of all, all of this takes place in the audio section under 'settings'.
1.) We are going to go to crossfade, gapless and fade section. Uncheck EVERYTHING. Make sure your settings look like mine below. (I think this is the main culprit).
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2.) Next, we will go to 'advanced tweaks' section. Audio thread priority and audio buffer need to be set to 'normal' and 'auto'. Below are my settings.
3.) Lastly, this is optional but it works for me. I turned OFF equalizer, and tone. I left limit ON, because it seems on CM11 the music gets distorted at high levels. With these my music is pretty crystal clear.
This worked for me, so I figured I'd share my results. Hope it helps at least one person out!
Also my music is currently on my external SD card, not sure of that makes a difference or not in the end result.

[APP][2.2+] YouTube No Screen - Play YouTube in the background!

UPDATE 1.0.1: This update should hopefully remove some of the issues with buggy audio, and the app will now work much nicer with the screen off!
Hey guys! So whilst working on another app, I discovered a pretty sweet loophole in Google's code that allows my app to play YouTube videos in the background, even if the screen is off!
Here's the thing: I don't have many devices to test on SO I need you guys to try it out for me and let me know how it works for you!
This app is and always will be free. If you wish to buy me a beer please click the "Donate to Me" button in the sidebar of my posts.
Feel free to ask any questions!
By the way, yes a five year old did make my icon

Works quite well on my 1+1 with MahdiROM 4.4. Audio is a bit choppy when typing or switching apps, but that could be due to my device being underclocked to 1.7GHz.
Thank you Bro ? Awesome
