Somewhat notable due to previous drama these two groups seem to have had previously.

The following screenshot is from a few weeks back:

Deleted xManager today and patched Spotify with revanced. xManager has probably saved me well over £200 on a Spotify subscription over the past couple of years so I can't say anything bad about them. Respect.

(Same goes for Revanced for YouTube as well!)

Where did you find a spotify apk? Some how that detail is eluding me. I don't see it on apkmirror.

[–] Madbrad200@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

XManager stills works fine for me, to be honest.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Lucky bastard. Mine stopped weeks back

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Same. Every album and playlist just went blank one day and that was it.

[–] Madbrad200@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago

I think maybe they're testing things on a regional basis and it just hasn't hit me yet. I dunno, either way I'm happy for now lol

Spotube ftw

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 8 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Can somebody have a guide or some steps to get the revanced one working? I suspect its because I don't have a good spotify.apk but unsure

Thank you, this apk worked perfectly!

Edit: do you know of a good spotify lite apk? It seems that site only has xapk

[–] Threeme2189@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

Sorry, I just found the version of spotify that was suggested in the Revanced Manager app.

[–] priapus@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago

What issue are you having? When you go to patch an app Revanced should show you a suggested version. If you tap the suggestion it'll search it for you and you can download it from an apk site. When you download it make sure you get a standard apk, not a bundle.

Thank you for the update, thanks xManager for having kept the tunes running.

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I am a Spotify paid user (I paid with my gf the duo tier or whatever is called, she has an iOS device so she kinda needs it, I could live without it I guess), would I benefit from Spotify Revanced or xManager clients?

Something like having neat features with Smart Tube or YT Revanced with a YT premium subscription?

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Nope. Both the xManager client and the current ReVanced patches focus on unlocking premium and nothing else, no extra features.
I think xManager had extra themes? But I dunno if they're working on the current version.
This might change in the future as people tinker with the ReVanced patches and the Spotify codebase though.

[–] beSyl@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Does it unlock all premium features? Like, high quality songs, downloads, etc?

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 days ago

The Revanced website says server-sided features like downloading are still locked.
There's a chance they'll get downloading working but high-quality is unlikely IMO.

[–] DeeBeeDouble@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Where can I find the non split apk to patch? Somehow I am too stupid to find it...

[–] Brain@lemmy.zip 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You need to run something like AntiSplit-M to make the split package into an APK that is usable.

I'm not affiliated with that program, it's just the one that I was linked to when I had similar questions about split apks. So use it at your own risk obviously.

[–] DeeBeeDouble@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago

Thank you, that worked!

[–] Kena@lemm.ee -3 points 3 days ago

What’s even the point of pirating Spotify anyways? All the features are ass and the quality sucks, why?
