xManager, popular Spotify mod, encourages people to use Revanced instead
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
Where can I find the non split apk to patch? Somehow I am too stupid to find it...
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.
Thank you, that worked!
Spotube ftw
What’s even the point of pirating Spotify anyways? All the features are ass and the quality sucks, why?
I've never understood the need for ReVanced because every single application it supports is a horrible pile of trash I'd never install in the first place. So many good alternatives and people would rather patch garbage like Spotify? Why?
Because people are used to it, and also because it features one of the largest music collections you can find. Same for other things it supports.
What do you use for music then?
My actual music. What a concept.
Local storage
you don't use youtube?
Only via third party apps to search and mostly watch by mpv / yt-dlp
