xManager is an app manager tool that allows users the ability to “patch” various applications and APKs to remove ads and more.

Installing the xManager will allow you to download a premium, ad-free version of Spotify at no cost.
xManager is compatible with Android devices including mobile and tablet.
In the guide below, we will install xManager for Spotify on an Android tablet called the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6.

Is xManager Safe?
Before I install this, I first want to scan the Android APK file with VirusTotal.
Here is the screenshot of the scan results.
VirusTotal did not find any suspicious files or malware within the xManager APK file.
However, this does not mean we shouldn’t protect ourselves when downloading content from this unverified app.
The best way to do this is with a VPN that will secure your identity and anonymity when using xManager or other applications.
How to Uninstall Spotify on Android
In order to download Spotify from xManager, we must first uninstall the current version of the app from our device.

Seems to work perfectly! I installed xManager on my Moto Power Android II smartphone, started up the Spotify App and it played for a couple of hours without any AD’s. Next, while still playing, I redirected the sound output to my portable Bluetooth speaker system. It too played for over an hour with no Ads. Sounds Great, NO AD’s!! Next, I started Spotify on my phone again and selected my Linux PC Computer Google Chrome Browser as the targeted player. I did this because it has really nice Klipsch 2.1 sound system installed on it. Unfortunately, the AD’s started playing within 2 songs… Bummer. Oh well, it was worth a try. I guess the phone hands off the stream to the PC and bypasses any Ad removal software on the phone. Though you would like to know.
Awesome Sauce!!! Thanks for this great info. It works great on my Samsung Galaxy Note 9! ???
