[APP] Modded Ziggo TV [Dutch] - Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps

Hello everyone,
I've modded the Ziggo TV app to disable the root checker.
There have been some workarounds such as hiding root in the SuperSU app etc., only this doesn't work with custom firmware like the newest CM10.1 and 10.2.
By disabling the root checker in this APK it's now possible to use it on all modified firmware.
This way everybody who is using a custom rom is now able to watch Ziggo TV when they have a Ziggo tv/internet abbonnement.
The file version is 3.11 so it's the latest available update from Ziggo.
At the moment I've tested it at a GT-I9001 phone, but i'm pretty sure it will work for other phones as well.
My advice for those people is just test it and report back please.
If problems occur I'll try tot fix those for you. Also when screenshots are wanted i'll be happy to post them for you.
The download link is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/aqsc14m3uvjla25/Ziggo%20TV.apk
If somebody is interested in the steps I took to modify the app, just let me know and I'll make a tutorial.

Works perfect on Slimrom and CM10.2! great job

I can always look into this, but I can't promise anything.
At the moment I don't know how the app verifies this, if the check is server side it will be difficult to get around.

Using it on HTC One, HTC One X and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (P7510).
All working perfectly. Thanks!

Muchos Gracias :good:

The original app does not work on the Galaxy Mega. It gives the message that the rom is not original or rooted, while it is not.
I was hoping this modded version was a solution. Unfortunately not.
Any chance we can get this working on a Galaxy Mega?
How did you mod this apk? I decompiled it but have no clue where to look....

Trying the app on Sony NSZ-GS7
I'm trying to start the app on a Google TV, the Sony NSZ-GS7.
The error that I get is in Dutch:
"
Helaas!
De app Ziggo TV (proces nl.ziggo.android.tv) is onverwachts gestopt.
Probeer het opnieuw.
"
(the app stopped unexpectedly)
Does someone know what I can do to make it work?
Thank you very much!

This didn't work for my MStar GoogleTV based projector. Tried the rooted and unrooted firmware of the system, both failed to play live TV.
Expected this one to work, but it failed as well. Are there any other checks that could be removed? (Just remove ALL checks)
I would like more info on how to modify any updates myself.
Thanks,
Allegro16

Thx!
Tested today on my rooted stock firmware galaxy s3 i9300, and it worked - as only one
So yeah, thank you!
And everybody loves to read about how to patch apps... I guess ; -)
Oh, according to http://www.appbrain.com/app/ziggo-tv/nl.ziggo.android.tv#descriptionsection , version Ziggo TV 3.2 is out too?

Didn't work in the end..
Hi,
I was expecting the modded version to work on my Android projector, because it ran fine on all my other devices (both rooted and unrooted)
Any other checks that could/should be removed?
Thanks,
Allegro16.
P.S: Working great on a rooted HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S3, etc. But not on this..
EDIT: Ziggo just got back to me, if it's not already supported i'm out of luck. They only support the big brands, HTC, Samsung, etc. No small Android boxes will be officially supported, only: "Helaas is de Ziggo TV App alleen beschikbaar voor iPad, iPad mini, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, Iphone 4s, iPhone 5, iPod Touch, Android smartphones en tablets. Op andere apparaten zal het dan ook niet werken. Excuses voor de teleurstelling."
"Unfortunately the Ziggo TV App is only available for iPad, iPad mini, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, Iphone 4s, iPhone 5, iPod Touch, Android smartphones and tablets. As such, it will not work on other devices. Sorry for the dissapointment."
I already tried renaming the device in the app itself to no avail.. Is there any way the OP could mod the app further? So it doesn't check which device it runs of?
Especially if you could tell us how it's done. Then i'm sure a working version could always be updated..
A quick compare (unpacking the Apk's as zip) showed the modded version is larger as the Original, especially classes.dex that lists"rooted_device_found_message !rooted_device_found_message_title"
Is that the difference? How to mod to work on all devices?

PsychoGame:
Any news or updates? I finally magaged to mod a version that installed, but it failed to show live TV as well..
Which file/part of the APK did you mod and with which tools? Tried replacing the Galaxy S3/GalaxyS3 references in classes.dex with MStar Google TV/MStarGoogleTV, but while it installed, no luck..
Any news/hints are appreciated!

Thanks, works great on i9195 on CM11 (4.4.1)

This app works great! I have sent a message to the dev asking if he will update the app, but no response..
Does anyone have an idea how to remove the root check in apps? I have searched and searched, but alas..

Works perfectly on my Galaxy tab 2!
Thank you for this!

to bad, doesn't work on xperia x1 on stock based custom rom.

Works great on my rooted FNF iFive X2 with Android 4.2.2

Please update this great app to version 3.2

[I9000B][ROM] VJJPD / ZTO, build date 2010.12.11

NOTICE: I do not have this device model, nor have I tested the ROM, I'm only telling you where to find it.
This is the "open" I9000B Froyo release also available on KIES (for some)
Chainfire,
Any idea when 2.2.1 for Holland will arrive?
No idea. AFAIK 2.2.1 has only been rolled out in the UK, may well be the rest of the world will skip 2.2.1 and go directly to 2.3. (officially... of course you can always flash JPY yourself )

Well I am allready running JPY with XENJP2, was just wondering.
Funciona muy bien ^^
Hi friends...
Ok. I flash my i9000b with this ROM and it really seems to be an open version 2.2 Froyo.
It works perfectly well for me (I flashed using odin3) and all features, including GPS and Brazillian Digital TV are working perfectly. (and all my programs and contacts remain installed)... nothing was deleted!
Another thing I missed is the "Energy Save Icon"... that one that is like a battery icon, that enables you to turn 3G on/off.
One thing I noticed is that this ROM came with that Gameloft games launcher... I have to remove it myselft.
I gained root access using OneClickRoot tool (using international version with Brazillian version of the phone) and after a few seconds... I got it rooted.
I just remove this annoing apps and get it unrooted again using the same method.
Thanks again Chainfire!
Root ? para esta ROM?
Yes... You can use an app called "SuperoneClick" and patch Brazillian I9000b using International version. I already tested it, and it works!
It works, Thanks.
Hi gravehero,
Did you have to install the program for TV or the ROM comes with it?
Thanks and regards,
Elvis
I flashed it on my i9000b and it works seamlessly and fast.
Even playing music over bluetooth, which used to chop a little, goes smooth with JPD_VJ_ZTO.
rooted and no lagfixes installed btw.
Hi Elvis...
The TV program comes installed by default. You don't need to install it later!
Phone/csc/.pit
Hello Guys,
Where can I find the PHONE, CSC and .PIT files of this Firmware?
Thx!
Sorry, it's "in" the firmware file...
How to flash?
Hi Guys!
Which software are you using to flash this new ROM to the phone (I9000B)? Can I use Kies to do that?
Thanks in advance

Seems Google+ not support Note 8?

Is Note 8.0 is too new for some app compatibility?
Google+ , Goggle, Up...
Anyone could give suggestion?
Can you be more specific on your problems? All the Google apps I've tried, including Google+, work just fine for me.

The Chinese stock ROM does NOT support apps that depend on google service. So google+, gmail, drive... all NOT available in that ROM.
You can flash a Taiwan version stock ROM or ROM for other countries. There are some known issues if you just flash the gapps to the Chinese stock ROM, eg, google map won't tell where you are...
Chinese Note 8
Hi,
I'm also stuck with the Mainland China Version of the Note 8, besides being not able to use google.play and other google stuff it seems to be a bit slow on lot of other things.
I tried to replace the chinese version with other ROM's , but sofar it alsways failed when it came to loading/writing modem.bin.
Luckily sofar I was able to recover the unit via Kies.
What I did :
1.download of another stock rom i.e. german
2. install Odin 3 , run it as admin
3. connect the Note to an Windows 7 pc , USB driver works
4. follow the various instructions found here
5. also tried the Note 8 toolkit
6. everything looks fine until it reaches the modem.bin file.
7. failed .....
Also tried it with rooting the Note 8 first via the toolkit
For good order sake pls note the following : Model Number GT-N5100
Android Version 4.1.2
Baseband Version N5100ZCBMD2
Kernel Version 3.0.31-1087838
Build Number JZO54K.N5100ZCBMD2
Any suggestion what else to do ? Or which Rom to use ?
Tks

You can try this one. Simply copy it to internal SD and flash it with CWM recovery.
I'm not the owner of this ROM. I think it is based on the rooted ROM published here earlier.
OH... I'm too new to publish a outside link... try use baidu.com and search for " 新欧版rom(奥地利 3 Hutchison通讯)汉化修改版发布!!!" ... Hope this helps...
it works
Hi,
thanks for that tipp. Finally I made it work
Internet access
Hi,
that was a bit premature : the statement it works. Basically it does, however I can't get any data transmission work when not connected to wifi.
Using the phone as a phone is ok, Internet access does not, it says "No network connection available"
With WiFi no problem
Has this something to do with the non chinese Firmware ? Which I would find a bit odd since I never had any problem with importet phones in china sofar.
Anybody has a clue ?
Tks

[Q] Do any KitKat ROMs support Bluetooth Low Energy?

I have a stock, unrooted Galaxy Nexus GSM purchased new from Google currently running 4.3.
I have a FitBit Flex which will only sync with phones that have Bluetooth Low Energy support.
I can not find any information on any of the KitKat ROMs out there for Galaxy Nexus to see if I install it, will Bluetooth LE work?
If it does then work, my next concern would be if the FitBit app would recognize that the Bluetooth LE works and it would then be able to sync, or if it simply would still see it as a Galaxy Nexus which they do not list as a supported device: http://www.fitbit.com/devices
If anyone can offer me some advice here, I'd greatly apprecaite it!
Thanks.
(btw, sorry if this is in the wrong froum. please move it if it is)

Il you wanna stay with 4.3 you must install btle libraries as mentioned in the thread.
Gnex supports BLE with almost every KK rom.
(try BLE Checker on play store: on my Vanir says Supported!)

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
I used The Nexus Root Toolkit (by WugFresh) to Unolock and Root my GNex. Then I used the link you gave me to get the BTLE files and the FitBit apk. I installed everything and it freakin' works!!! I'm so happy!
I'm so annoyed at Google for letting support of this device go after only 18 months. I bought it because they praised it as being thee flagship, unaltered, always up-to-date phone to have. I figured I'd be on the latest version of Android with this phone for many years. I wanted to keep it stock, but they've forced me to now go rooted. I suppose I could now flash a KK ROM, but I'm not sure what that would benefit me at this point.
Thank you again SO much for your help and fast reply! (Even if I did post this in the wrong place!)
Love XDA!
Ok, so I have to update what happened. Everything seemed to be working fine until I got into my car. My GPS has a bluetooth connection. It would connected, but then almost immediately the Bluetooth service would crash on my phone. Happened over and over again. Even after a reboot. Then when I got home, I tried it with my bluetooth speaker. Same exact thing. I figure the bluetooth binaries that I installed screwed up my connections that used to work. I even tried re-pairing them. Didn't help.
I gave up and decided to wipe everything and flash KK. I used CM11 nightly. Now everything, so far, is working as expected. GPS, speaker & fitbit. CM KK takes some getting used to over stock JB. I don't know what changes are KK and which are CM.

Ive just picked up one of these tablets and managed to root it and install custom revcovery.
To be honest I think there are zero custom ROM for this device and the supposed Lollipop ROM on those spam sites are bound to be a load of virus. I have seem three or four such 3 part download sites all of which are hidden behind a survey. All the comments on the sites are exactly the same but are posted by different people depending what site you look at which indicates they can't be trusted.
I have tweeted Lenovo to see if they plan a Lollipop update but no reply yet.
I think we need to either need to learn how to port or find a dev that can do it

Really nice to see your response, would you be kind enough to inbox me with your custom recovery. I really need to even get the stock rom to reflash if you could help. Thanks so much for replying and if we can get someone interested in porting to LP i would happy to contribute.

There isn't a Lollipop ROM yet for A7600f. It is possible to root and get custom recovery installed but as far as I can tell there is no official lollipop update or custom ROM development at all

I checked the link and it is for the S8 smartphone which also as model number A7600. If you have that smartphone you test it at your own risk but if you are talking about a rom for A7600F tablet it won't be compatible.
As Lenovo don't seem to be official updating the A7600F tablet im guessing we need a custom rom. Unfortunately I don't think it's that popular a tablet so won't pull in developers and regrettably I'm not skilled enough to even know where to start.

I received the s8 a7600 with android 5.0 - it looks like that OS is just installed by seller, with multiple application that are a huge adware/spam generators. I tried to remove all (root/remove apps), but it destroys a little the functionality (dialer has opacity - not so easy to find what is going on, camera not working at all). But generally works. If anyone has skills - I am sure it can be easy fixed (for example install 3rdparty dialer - but that one from lenovo is pretty fine). But I think I will update phone with stock ROM, but I need to find how to do that safely and be sure I can back to the actual software...

I used the guide at this link and the download for the covery is halfway through the walkthrough

Its pretty long winded but it worked for me. As you will be using your own device its at your own risk if you decide to use the link

A bit of a necro here ...
Yep, it is a long-winded guide. I wrote everything as best I could just in case.
I'd be surprised if more than 5 people are still looking to root this device. But for those folks, I updated the guide tonight.
I hadn't used the tablet much until this past week, my phone was doing better and I was only using the tablet for streaming videos as a portable TV. However my phone died and I finally got around to re-rooting the tablet (I has lost root after applying an OTA update about a year ago).
And no, there are not any custom ROMs ... no Lollipop ... no Marshmallow ... never Nougat ... for this tablet. This guide is PURELY for getting root on 4.4.
That said, here is the short version ... this MAY work on a never-rooted A10 A7600F ... it may only work to REFRESH the root. I have no good way of knowing as there isn't a chance in hell I'm going to revert everything to stock to find out
Glad to know at least 10 people got help from the guide.
UPDATE 9/22/2016:
Revised Steps are simple:
* Download Kingo Root (not King Root, that failed) APK version for Android.
* Run Kingo Root.
* If it fails, reboot, and try again (mine failed the first time)
* Assuming Kingo Root worked the second time (if not, see the original detailed steps below) ... DON'T REBOOT yet (when I did this, the root disappeared, so I had to run Kingo Root a 3rd time)
* Install a Root Checker and verify root access
* Install (first time) or uninstall and re-install (updating is fine if yours was out of date) SuperSU by Chainfire (other SuperSU may or may not work, Chainfire worked for me)
REBOOT
* Re-run Root Checker to verify root access (don't run Kingo Root before this) ... it should be using SuperSU to grant root, NOT Kingo
* If rooted, uninstall Kingo Root
* REBOOT
* Re-run Root Checker to make sure SuperSU continued to work after removing Kingo Root.

There are multiple "A7600" devices out there. This is specifically for the A7600F, aka the A10. Different device, ROMs not compatible with other A7600 devices. Lenovo can burn in hell both for their lack of updates as well as their naming conventions.
Hi all,
I have ported a CM13 ROM to this device to bring us to Android 6.0.1. if anyone is interested I will start a thread for and provide instructions and a link later today.

[Q] Does Hola work with new AFTV ROMs?

I'm thinking to upgrade to the 51.1.5.0_515030720 pre-rooted (from my current 51.1.1.0_user_511070220 rooted) , but I'm concerned that Hola might stop working.
I already know the latest versions of the app don't work with ANY ROM (I'm sticking with 1.4.x) but a friend upgraded to the latest OTA and even the old Hola doesn't work anymore.
Any experience with the app on newer ROMs would be appreciated - I use it daily with Netflix.

Well it looks like I'm the only one in the Universe using Hola.

I am running 51.1.5.0_515020820 (pre-rooted). Hola v1.4.91 has been working just fine.
I would expect that it would also work fine on 51.1.5.0_515030720, since the changes are minor.
Hope that helps.

It does...thank you.
It also seems our problems are multiplying as Netflix is starting to act upon use of VPN clients or DNS changers. The game is getting tighter.
