So, I’ve heard about XManager for a little while and just finally decided to try it, and…
So just level with me, is this thing an advertising scam? When I tap on a version and choose download, an ad appears, I wait for it’s timer to finish, close it and… Nothing happens. It never downloads anything, just serves ad after ad.
Edit: So, after disabling ads and trying again several more times, I was able to download and install.
Not a scam, I’ve used it for ages. Where did you download it from?
It’s always infuriating that the git repo is full of documentation but I cannot find an answer to the question: What Is It Exactly?
It’s an app to patch the spotify app, so you have all the premium features. It’s not illegal per se, but still, they don’t want to grab too much attention.
It is kinda illegal. It’s copyright infringement
The illegal part is downloading the copyrighted Spotify apk
But xmanager is not providing the apk, so the project doesn’t do anything illegal.
Also if you root your phone (not illegal for some devices) you can install any app from the store and the apk is just there… on your device, which you can then patch.
You can go to settings to disable adverts, I had system wide adblocking so never encountered any ad but it can be disable from settings. Also it is working on my end
There sould be an option to disable the ads, they are just there if you want to support them without donating
It’s not a scam. It just has issues compiling the APK on certain phones, like Xiaomi. They have a Telegram group to download precompiled APKs without the need for xManager.
