When you think of an online music service nowadays, Spotify is probably near the first that come to mind, and for good reason. Being able to create, share, and take all of your playlists anywhere, across all of your devices, is something that I couldn't live without. Unfortunately, nothing this good is free, and with Spotify Premium, users of their free service are left with very limited features when streaming on their mobile devices.
There have always been ways to bypass these restrictions, but most of those required root access or the use of the Xposed Framework, which can be a deal breaker for some, or a non-option for those running Android Lollipop.
Luckily, developer Lucas Picchi has modified the original Spotify app to open up unlimited skips and track specific playback for everyone (i.e., those without a paid subscription). This app is based off Spotify version 2.1.0.903, and Picchi has even created a version for those of you still stuck on Gingerbread.
Step 1: Install the Modified App
Since this is a modified app, it cannot be hosted on the Google Play Store, so you'll need to download the APK that is compatible with your Android version from one of the links below. Before doing so, make sure that you've allowed for app installation from "Unknown sources".
Before installing the app, make sure to uninstall the official Spotify app on your device if you have it installed. Then, just hit the "Download complete" notification to install the modified version.
Step 2: Login & Enjoy
With the app open, you'll need to log in. The modified version cannot use the Facebook login option, so you will need to enter your Spotify credentials in order to sign in.
Once the app loads to the main menu, you will be all set to go. Premium features, like selecting specific tracks to play and unlimited skips are enabled by default, but you will unfortunately still have to pay in order to increase audio quality.
Keep in mind that this app cannot be updated through the Play Store, so be sure to check back for future releases and updates! And let us know how the app is working for you in the comments below, or let us know on Facebook, Google+, or Twitter.

Yeah those are bound to pop up every once in a while.
Thanks for the post. Do you think that is apt will ever to updated to add no ads and extreme streaming?

Are you trying to use your phone as a remote to control your desktop Spotify app?
is there a version where we can download songs. which we can listen offline?
Nope. Only your local music can be heard offline without a premium account.
I don't really care for an occasional ad. All I really want to know is if you can sync to listen offline.
can I play the music in offline mod?
No that still requires a premium account.
Oh my god... Thank you very much.. saved my bucks
No problem, glad I could help!
Omg,thank you so much !!!!!
How do i know this is not a virus
At first ,I wanna thanks for this great method .i used to be this app from 1 month ago but now i have a strange problem with it.recently when i log on to the app,it says "you are offline" and suddenly it comes out of my account .now what can i do for it????
The music stops on its own. The music continues to play but the audio stops.
Is there a mod for version 2.5.0.942, because this apk has some issues.
link is damaged
I'm waiting for a new version to be released. I'll update once I have a newer apk.
Ok thanks man
I did exactly as you said, not a single change, xperia z2
This is so good! Thank you so much!
Offline Availability would be great but this is amazing as it is!
Also, any possibility to deactivate the old Facebook account linked to Spotify already and linking the new one I made (after installing this version) to my Fb account again?
Anyways.. Great work man! Thanks heaps again!

Where is the "Search" button? Mine gone
There is no search option in the side drawer?

Facebook login on any device, to access spotify on your computer and go into account and define device password and use your device's user name is a number, and only log into the device. Thanks , good job.

Hey guys, does this work for iPhone 6 plus?
I really have hard time doing this
This is Android only, sorry.
Follewed instructions exactly and have 5.0 android. When it gets to the do you have mega question and I hit ok nothing happens.
Do you have Mega installed on your device?
How do I get the installation I have the app
Are you installing the APK from your Downloads folder?
I'm having problems with the mega app, I have it installed but it won't download the link at all. Could really use some help.
After installing the app did you create an account and have the app up and running before clicking the link in the guide?
Best ever! Very simple to install, awesome job! Thanks so much!
.
I tried downloading the APK that's provided, but it keeps taking me to install mega? I've tried using chrome and explorer and both takes me to install mega? how do I download the APK without having to download mega or do I have to install mega in order to download the APK
If you are on mobile you have to use MEGA to download the APK.
G'day Andrew,
Will this article be updated any time soon?
The link no longer works, as others have noted, and I'm wondering if this article is still relevant and just needs updating, or is outdated, and needs to be removed?
Cheers...
It works, thanks man
every time i download the apk file from the link it sends me to mega app and then it says in it ERRO FILE LINK NOT FOUND can you help me plz? i use 1+1 phone
thank you so much! it works now!
Is this safe. Lookout keeps telling me not to install.
It may be saying it is unsafe because it is a modified APK. I have used it for a while now and so far nothing has gone wrong, but use it as your own risk.
The 4.4 link is not working
The dev that was making this mod has his thread taken down on XDA. I will update this guide with new links as soon as it is available.
file was removed on 4.0 above..
OMG THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Anyone has a backup copy of the Android 2.3 version apk?! pls do share since its removed in the mega link shared here
any new updates incoming?
The features are less extensive than if you root your phone and do it it the app settings way. Which i would definitely prefer and recommend.
i download the version 3.0.0.1128 from http://www.crackedapkfull.com but the app close automaticly !!!!!
I used the mod for a while, but I went back to paying for Premium. For €10 a month, it's totally worth it

how to dowload premium spotify
Its not working anymore. I got a new phone and trie d installing it but the file is not found
If You want to skip ads, just use EZBlocker.
Also, you do not need to have root installed on your device. ;)
PS: Best way to find Modded Spotify is to use Google. XDA should be first on the list. Links there are always fresh. Cheers! :)
Can someone upload a correct link to download it? The last link is not found... Ill really appreciate it
I got a new phone and it is no longer working. the "file is not found"
I'm so disappointed, please help!
Why its not working
File link not found
Links were removed.. plz repost apk. Plz
I have tried clicking on both links to download Spotify premium and they both say file not found.
