Surprise from Google, leaked by an app?

Hello. Today as I was updating some of my apps i've seen an interesting changelog at one of them. We're talking here about Light Flow Lite which changelog says :
Version 3.7.1 (Release 1084) - 18 May 2013
Added support for Google Hangouts including pushing text to - DashClock (see new DashClock screenshot)
Made persistent icon mandatory when running in foreground mode - as requested by Google for an upcoming version of android
Bug fixes
Cant add link, but search for the app and check what's new.
I really thing Google will surprise us soon as they didn't update their OS at Google I/O.
Correct me if i'm wrong.
Awesome finding!
Well by the (another) rumor the next Android OS and 2nd gen Nexus 7 will be released on 10th June this year.
Thanks for telling us.
Haha, nice leak !
You may have notive that now, they've changed their message to "as requested by Google". Too late, too late

Media center like xbmc, pluginnable for android, leanback style, working on 4.0 and +

Media center like xbmc, pluginnable for android, leanback style, working on 4.0 and +
The real thing about censorship of everything that can be in harm with product of any corporation.
I am developing Multimedia Center for devices android JB + (4.0+) a leanback style inspired.
See Screenshots and test if you like...
App is in progress, and delivery could be due another sites than gOOgle market, due censorship and everyday sabotage of this project by google.
- at first they say that it is a fake, or a recompilation of real existing project
- next they said that i use copyrighted images there in screenshots
- after removing even app logos & icons they wrote: You dont have all images there in publication, that is a must.
- I spend one day to complete stupid publish formular
- next they disable even remove app from market and I must do some certifications, some stupid app comparations, they also ask for content of this app and so
This is last result:
The application (APK! builded in android studio !!! maded by gOOgle!!!!!!) is in incorrect ZIP ??? format.
I know APK is just a jar file, but this is realy abusing.
BTW, my app use DPAD as main feature, see message why my app is not possible to publish for android tv, day before it was some microphone permission, cause android tv does not have any, and a week before were unpublishable due the icons not realy at size they need to publish app to tv.
Funny stuf, right?

[APP][4.0.3+][v.8.4.36.321] Patched Ad-Free Spotify APKs + Adfree Android TV builds

Hey y'all. As Xposed is not ready for Nougat just yet and since many users don't wish to root I decided to dabble with some apps. Spotify ad free was born from this project.
EDIT:
Note:
**This does not require root. **
Requirements: Android 4.0.3+, no dpi, should work with both arm & arm64 (only lib differences), min API 15
*Edit: Based on feedback there are now two variants of the app: An x86 and an Arm build
Code:
/*Features: */
-Hooray no more ads!
- built in ota downloader - new builds will be available for download on your device immediately after I upload them [B] Edit: Ota has been discontinued, many users experienced FCs while downloading new builds and hosting each build was costing a bit more than I expected) [/B]

[/Hide]
Additional notes:
This project is still centered around ad blocking. Other features simply exist because of curiosity and lack of Xposed support on Nougat. Features may break after future updates and I may eventually migrate back to just ad blocking. Also as this was more of a proof of concept/learning build I will update the app when I get the time. I provide no guarantees to support newer Spotify versions. I am currently very busy with school.
There is nothing I can do about offline downloads or exporting downloaded media. These features will never be incorporated even if I could as this project was never intended to replace Spotify Premium. I was annoyed at seeing intrusive ads take over the screen while using the application and as I barely use Spotify anyway I couldn't justify premium. ( I have a Google Play Music subscription). I originally intended to build a native ad blocker (that project is still in the works), however due to limitations on some older devices I owned that could not be rooted, I changed track and began working on a rootless solution. Also I understand that many users with premium are aggravated that they cannot export and easily move around their downloaded media or even play media using another music player. I've looked into this and it is not currently possible. Spotify stores offline media in Ogg Vorbis codec format. They also use their own encryption so only their own player can play the downloaded media. In fact, decryption keys are not stored locally at all. Instead they are individually linked to the subscription holder. So yes, technically in theory the downloaded media can be exported but the exported media will be rendered useless as there is no way of decrypting and playing it.
Also there is nothing that can be done locally to block ads on Chromecast. Chromecast does not mirror your spotify app when you cast. Instead it recognizes the stream and plays it independently, meaning unless you have a premium account there is no way to get rid of ads. I've tested a couple of spoofing methods the last few builds but they all failed as Spotify checks per account. The only alternative atm is to mirror your display or just use bluetooth. If you do that, then it will actually stream from the app itself without triggering any ads.
Android Auto README
The Android Auto app checks where the app was installed from before displaying the app on the Android Auto dashboard. This means that if you didn't install spotify from the play store then it won't just work on Android Auto. The workaround for now is this command via adb.
Code:
pm install*-i*"com.android.vending"*-r/sdcard/(file location of where you saved the spotify apk)
/*This changes "com.google.android.packageinstaller" to "com.android.vending" so that Android Auto thinks Spotify is installed from the Play store and not sideloaded. */

Downloads, Updates, Installation & Logs:
Installation:
1. Download the apk
2. Install the apk
(Pretty straightforward isn't it )
(It would be greatly appreciated and very helpful if people could provide feedback, preferably including your device model and if there are crashes or lags or god forbid, any ads, provide a log via adb or an app like matlog)
*Note: I don't have the time to merge in requests and other features atm. I'm too busy with work and school right now. Rebasing on the other hand is fast and mostly automated on my end as recent Spotify releases have generally been very minor incremental improvements. Just need to pull new builds from apkmirror and I have a script setup to apply most of the patches. Since I don't really use Spotify anymore (Play Music is where it's at ), I rely on you guys for logs and feedback. Anyways, if something is screwed up, then please capture a log and let me know so I can take a look at it, otherwise I am assuming that everything is okay.

Lol I didn't even know casting to Chromecast was restricted only to pro. My main goal from this project was to just remove ads but I'll look into it.
Thank you sooo much! Ive been looking for something like this for so long
Any chance you could share what you're doing to remove/block ads?
Hi does anyone know if this works on the Xiaomi redmi 3s?

Thanks for the feedback. I'm finalizing a few changes, some code cleanup, should have a new build out soon
Any chance you'd work on a more recent version? apkmirror lists latest as 7.9.0.746

Yes I am working on it. I'm in class now and I have an exam soon. Almost done with the new build. I'll finish it when I get home and I should have it up either tonight or tomorrow.
Great! But it will have the limited shuffle play still, or is skipping working? Thanks for this!

I try it and it is working on my phone
Thanks for your work, everything is working great!
(Stock Nexus 5x, not rooted,I didn't want to root since I use Android Pay. ) Btw do you need anyone to test the ad blocking app your working on? I would love to test it What I really I miss from when I used to root is Adaway.
Thanks. It's almost perfect, i don't care about offline, but i used on chromecast (HDMI) and still has ads, but in cell phone doesn't have. It's strange! Any solution about this?

Improved Android 7.1.1 update begins rolling out to OnePlus 3 and 3T

Who needs chocolate bunnies for Easter when we've got system updates?
OnePlus has begun to roll out shiny, new Android 7.1.1 updates to both the OnePlus 3 and the OnePlus 3T, bringing new improvements for expanded screenshots, picture-taking, and a fix to a Bluetooth bug. The update is rolling out incrementally, so don't be surprised if it takes a little while to reach you, but it is rolling out.
Updates
Included in the release notes for the OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T update were several improvements:
Upgraded Android 7.1.1
Added expanded screenshots
Improved picture taking of moving objects with blur reduction
Improved video stability when recording
Improved WiFI connectivity
Improved bluetooth connectivity
Fixed Instagram swiping bug
Fixed hardware buttons malfunction bug
Increased system stability
General bug fixes
Known bug fixed: Bluetooth logging issue
The notes also featured a link, asking OnePlus 3 users to give their feedback on Oxygen OS 4.1.0, so once you've gotten the update, make sure you give them your thoughts on it! And if you've already gotten the update (lucky you), tell us how it's behaving, too!
We don't need copy/pasted articles here, with no credits or source. That's called plagiarism. :good:
