Short Introduction
This method provides a way to create a more stable modified Spotify application on Android. It is useful for users experiencing glitches or issues with pre-modified versions, especially after app updates, by allowing them to patch the official application themselves.
Simplified One-Line Flowchart
- Download Tools ➔ Install Official Spotify ➔ Merge APK with Antisplit M ➔ Uninstall Official Spotify ➔ Patch Merged APK with ReVanced Manager ➔ Enjoy Modded Features
Easy Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Obtain the Necessary Tools
- Download “ReVanced Manager” and “Antisplit M” from their respective official download sources. You will need to search for these tools online to find their download pages.
Step 2: Install Official Spotify
- Install a fresh, unmodified copy of Spotify directly from your device’s app store (e.g., Google Play Store).
Step 3: Merge the Spotify APK
- Use the “Antisplit M” tool (or a similar APK merging tool) on the freshly installed Spotify application. This process combines the split APK files of the official Spotify app into a single, complete APK file.
Step 4: Uninstall Official Spotify
- After successfully merging the APK, uninstall the official Spotify application that you installed from the app store.
Step 5: Patch the Merged APK with ReVanced Manager
- Open ReVanced Manager.
- Select the merged Spotify APK file (created by Antisplit M in Step 3) for patching.
- Apply the desired patches through the ReVanced Manager interface.
- Once patching is complete, install the modified Spotify application.
Step 6: Re-Patch When Necessary
- If the modified Spotify app starts glitching or stops working correctly (often after an official Spotify update), you will need to repeat this entire process, starting from Step 2 with a fresh official Spotify installation.
Quick Tips
- Disable Auto-Updates: Turn off automatic updates for Spotify in your app store settings. This can help reduce the frequency of the modified app breaking due to updates from the official Spotify.
- Re-try Patching: If the ReVanced Manager gets stuck on the “installing” step during patching, try closing ReVanced Manager and attempting to patch the APK again.
Important Notes
- Android Specific: This method is primarily designed for Android devices. It may not work or could cause issues on other operating systems like iOS.
- Troubleshooting: Technical processes can sometimes fail without a clear reason for specific users. If you encounter problems like a black screen or app freezes after following the steps (as some users have reported with similar methods), you may need to troubleshoot by carefully re-doing the steps or searching for solutions specific to your device and situation.
- Tool Availability: The availability and names of tools like “Antisplit M” can change. Users should search for reliable sources for ReVanced Manager and tools capable of merging split APKs.
- No Guarantees: Modifying applications carries inherent risks, and functionality is not guaranteed.
