[Mirror][app] TinyShark 3.1.5 (Groveshark client)

Update: I hadn't realized the original developer still has this on their website. I searched Google before but didn't find any place to download, that's why I posted the mirror. But later on I stumbled upon it. The developer's site is http://exigocs.com you can also download TinyShark Downloader from there.
It's no longer available on Play Store, but I downloaded it shortly after I got Android. I then discovered soon after it was removed from Play Store, so it has since lived on my sdcard with TitaniumBackup, since I did a lot of ROM flashing.
Despite not being updated for over a year, it works great on Jelly Bean , and is still is one of the best Grooveshark apps for android I've ever tried, with playlists, offline cache option, and more.
With offline cache, you can effectively use this as a mobile Grooveshark downloader. It dumps the songs into sdcard/tinyshark_songs/ where they have id3 tags, but are just named a bunch of numbers. You could cache them 1 at a time, then go there and rename the file to whatever you want, or you could just copy to your PC and use software to use id3 to name the files.
Here is the original description:
Listen to Grooveshark on your Android device for FREE.
- Search the Grooveshark database
- Import Grooveshark playlists
- Play individual songs or an entire playlist
- Cache songs for offline playback
Does NOT require Adobe Flash to play music (Settings -> Use Flash Player). TinyShark now does not need Flash for music playback, but it is still an option for those that find it works better.
Starting with version 3.0 a lot has changed under the hood. A lot of fixes are being made so check for updates often. If you are having problems try reinstalling and create a new shortcut in your launcher. If you are still having issues please email details and send any crash reports you can.
Thanks to everyone that's been emailing!
To download songs try Tinyshark Downloader also available in the market.

It really works much better with "Use Flash Player" unchecked. [You have to do that to enable Offline Cache]

thanks for sharing! I recently used the groove mobile but it wasn't good at all.

Downloads as a zip but the post suggests an APK. Shall i just flash it?
Edit: my bad downloaded via phone but showed as zip. Working fine via PC.
Thanks for sharing!

Not connecting
I am experiencing some problems during the last month with this amazing app. It doesn't connect, when i try to connect i can see the 'connecting...' with the yellow light, but in a few seconds becomes again 'Disconnected' with the red light. Is it just me or this app is not working now?

I am having the same issue as well.

Try using tinytunes app from play store.
It's from the same developer but not related to grooveshark
It's pretty good.
As I am a new user I am not able to paste the link.

tinyShark 3.1.7
I tried Dood's music and it has a very bad performance (for me),
Searching in google i found the last version of Tinyshark (3.1.7), now it connects, but it doesnt play any song
SOLVED: Settings > Playback Controller > HTML5 instead of FLASH

Tinyshark needs a widget and this has to be useable and offline caching needs some work

If you guys are having issues with 3.1.5 you need to first uninstall 3.1.5 and then update to 3.1.7 found on their website http://exigocs.com/. If you still have problems download and install tiny shark downloader.

I would consider this app *warez* for the fact it is used to steal music off a site that is know for being borderline legal anyways. There is a reason Google removed it from Play.
Just sayin.
Also, buy the music you like. Support your artists

Sadly, by buying music you're supporting the music industry (RIAA). By going to concerts you're supporting the artists.

Not the artists I listen to. I buy direct from them or their independent label.
If your music is controlled by the RIAA then you need to stop listening to USA Top 40 and go out and find real music.
Either way is better then supporting this app.
But back to why I brought this up, if XDA allows this app then why not all the other MP3 downloaders in the play Store?
Mod maybe answer?

How to setup squid Proxy for tinyshark for streaming?
Somehow my T-Mobile connection seems to be blocking the tinyshark connection. Whenever I use the T-Mo data connection, my tinyshark would immediately show disconnected.
I managed to setup a squid server so that it now shows "connected" ( squid log says TCP_HIT/200 1495 GET http://grooveshark.com/crossdomain.xml - NONE/- text/xml )
But the songs are not streaming...
Anyone has experience setting up squid for tinyshark that could share some insight?
Thanks!

[Q] App idea: Soundhound integration

Hi,
Casio's new GShock-GBA400 model watch is able to record music sample and query it from Soundhound app on the phone. Then it returns the result from app on the watch's LCS screen as song title.
The watch is communicating with the Android phone through bluetooth.
I believe this could be achieveable with our beloved Gear 2.
Any developer who could do this ? I'd gladly pay for such app.

any ideas?
is it possible ?

with the soundhound widget and Wearable Widgets app, I was able to do this. Of course it does not use the mic on Gear,instead uses the mic of the phone. But better than nothing.

I use AppLauncher and then added Shazam to the list. In Shazam, there's an option to enable the app to listen right after its been opened. Works great

A new app got posted today called Gearam Music ID - works great and seems to use the watch mic instead of opening an app on the phone. Bonus is you can immediately play to Google Music if you subscribe.

yes, I saw and tried that. Good one.
But personally I would prefer Soundhound. Because Gearam has a smaller DB (imho) , its recognition is not that well.

Gearam uses Gracenote DB.

I used to have Gearam Music ID installed on my watch, but I just bought a new phone and had do a factory reset on the watch when pairing them up. I want to reinstall Gearam but I can't find it in the store anymore! Does anybody have an apk for it?

If it wasn't a bug, why would Google make it a paid option included in youtube red subscription? Windows phone doesnt even have an official app for youtube so developers have implented it into their apps long before it was a thing on Android. I havent had an iOS device but a friend of mine confirms that the official youtube app doesnt support background play either so he has to use either Safari or some third party app.

why not youtube red. i havent paid for youtube red since it started. they always offer 4 month of googlemusic which include youtube red. just switch to different email. i have 3 gmail and i have been rotating everytime one expires. it says is for new user but if uhavent use the same email for over 6 month it will let u reuse it

YouTube red is not available in most countries.

It doesn't work on latest update S8 stock ROM...EU

spotify and gear s3

Hi guys I bought gear s3 for a while but I couldn't find Spotify app on the store how can I install it?

It's in the gear app store. Also I think you have to be in a country that supports Spotify too.

yup you can install it, all you need to do is install a free vpn client from the play store, remove the sim card from your phone and clear the app data for the gear app store and start the vpn and select america and then start the gear app store you should be able to search and install spotify.

Question Galaxy Watch 4 Bixby with Spotify

Hi folks
I used to have the Galaxy Watch and I've upgraded to the Galaxy Watch 4 and it's quite disappointing that Bixby can't play songs from Spotify even for premium subscribers and even when it is paired to my Samsung phone. I've so far sideloaded and used the modified Spotify apk which allows me to search and stream but it also doesn't work it Bixby. I have even sideloaded Google Asistant but after it says it will play the song it always says there was a problem as it doesn't seem to work with native watch or phone apps. Is there any workaround for this function either in Spotify or any other music streaming service such as YouTube Music? If not is anyone currently working on it?
Thanks all

Yeah the Android ecosystem is so broken. I can't imagine apple releasing a watch without such basic functions.

Surely someone will find a way to make galaxy watch 4 bixby work with Spotify

Ok
